There are two reasons why Joanna
Blight had her studio up in the man.
sard.
In the first place, she craved quiet
and secluslon, III the second-well,
Mrs. Algernon Mowry was very much
ashamed OF it.
Mrs. Mowry was quite content that
cher husbands niece'' should pay her
board bill. The money was very ac-
ceptaDle to them in their narrow cir
cumstances. But for the life of her
Mrs. Mowry could not see why Joanna
preferred to earn her own living when
she had brother able to support her.
This little studio was a very pretty
place. The bare floor was patched with
bright-colored rugs; the walls were
tinted a delicate blue, bordered with
harmonious bands Of crimson, olive,
and gold.
There was one wide window to the
front, and near it, at her easel. Joanna
sat one sweet April morning, finishing
a birthday card in water-colors.
From time to time she would pause
at her work, and, leaning back in her
chair, she would watch the builders
over the way.
Some one had bought tho corner lot
and the two lots adjacent to il on the
main and side streets. Within the
past six weeks charming little Queen
Anne cottage had sprung up there as if
by magic.
Rumor said that it was being built
for gentleman from Washington.
''He must be man Of taste" joan
na thought as she took in the graceful
effect OF the building, even in it's un-
finished state. GLOW should like TO
live in a house like thatl Tiles and ter
Ia Gotta and low-down gratesl That
ought to make life worth llvingl'
Joanna smiled at her own fancies as
she took up her brush and palette.
When she looked up again the men
were hoisting some heavy framework
by means Of a pulley.
"Look out therer' cried tall, manly
fellow on the roof, who lowered head
and sholders above his companions.
He was a Well-made man, with rich,
that had concealed his finely shaped
neck. The only parts of lis dress visi-
bic were blue Cardinal jacket and a
pair Of overalls.
''Tney have got new workman, -
Joanna observed idly. "What.a splen-
did fellow isl wonder what business
a carpenter has with face and figure
like that2 Sometimes it seems to me
that nature blunders sadly"
That stalwart young carpenter dsap-
peared meanwhile, and Joanna left her
work.
II wish the Palette club didn't meet
this afternoon" she murmurcd as she
passed into the next room and began
to unplaither long, thick, yellow braids.
Her toilette was simple, but somehow
it went forward slowly. She felt rather
dull that day, and as she smoothed hel
hair in leisurely fashion, she hummcd

Attention to Beds.

TO secure health, beds that sick peo-
pie have lain on should be we'll cleansed.
A feather bed may be cleaned when not
too much soiled, by spreading 1t on the
roof of a low building in q good shower.
1t should be turned and we'll shaken
while drying, and it may be greatly i'm
proved in this way. When too much
soiled it may be put in 4 large basket
and set in 2 tub Or kettle of clean, warm
suds, ont of-doors. Let soak till the suds
are nearly cold, then stir we'll with a
stick or paddle and lift out ofthe basket
to drain. Wash through two good suds
and we'll rinse and drain. Dry on the
floor of an unoccupied and well-aired
room. It should be often stirred while
drying. Wool or hair mattresses should
DO wel!-aired and beaten every year, or
oftener if lain on by sick people. The
bed clio: hes that have been over the sick
should be washed whether they appear
soi!ed or not. All sleeping rooms and
beds should be wel]-aired daily. Every
occupant Of q bed should make it his
business to throw back the bedding
and open the windows before leaving
his room in the morning.-RuralN New
Yorker.

Prot. r. I. Greener, the colored ora

Danville, Va, said that the men who
now whined and croaked about priey.

and making them restless, Discontinued,
unhappy. He hazarded the statement
that the colored people of the south to-
day were better fed, better clothed and
better housed than any pcasantrv in
Europe. The negro had some preiu-
dices and wrongnotions to rid himself of.
He still believes that politics would fill
the corn bin, or make tobacco grow, fur
nish parquette seats, and gain admit
ance to parlor cars. Against the 800
years of servitude for the negro set the
1000 of Irish oppression. Opposite the
the negroes quick transition from slav-
cry to freedom, from enfranchisement
to office-holding, behold the struggles
of the intellectual and money-fe waking

plodding. thrifty German. In conclu-
sion the professor urged the colored
people to cease being the sport of poll
ticians. They could better afford to lose
the ballot than to lose the esteem and
respect of the religious. Industrious.

and God'fearing class, which had made
liberty and enfranchis EN- ent possible.

Fast freight trains are = source of
great benefit to the south. They have
created furore for what is called "truck
farming" The planters have learned
that it does not pay to put all their eggs
into one basket, and while they will
still plant cotton ''for revenue only"
they are putting in corn and garden
truck in large quantities. In Georgia,
truck farming has come to be great
business, and vegetables, melons, ETC.,
from that state are seeking northern
markets. Tennessee and some other
states are not far behind. Southern
fruits and vegetables reach the extreme
north in few days and in good condi-
ton. The amount of money expended
by northern people for these south ern
productions received months in advance
of the same articles raised at home,
can hardly be estimated and will con-
tinue TO increase.

Fodder Corn.

Empire etate Agricultirist.
While it is yet time we wish to urge
upon farmers the importance of hav.
ing supply of good, sweet fodder on
hand during the winter, for the COWS
horses and young cattle will appreciate
it and pay we'll for all the expense it has
been to secure it. We prefer to SOW it
in June, though it may be sown earlier
if desired: but if not sown before June
FARMERS even sow as late as july there
is not so much pressing work on hand
as there is earlier in the season and the
work can be done better and at less ex-
pense. 1t is useless to .stten, pit to raise
a good crop OF fodder corn on poor land,
for it must have rich soil to produce
heavily and when good land is further
encriched with Il good top dressing of
well decomposed stable manure the
growth will be heavy and fine. The
land should he we'll rlowed and har-
rowed and the corn drilled in Gloss
rows. Some planters pillow the land and
then SOW the corn, first treating the
grain to a coating of tar and ashes to
keep the birds from taking it. the har-
rowing covering the corn nicely. AS a
surer Of making good growth, espec-
tally when sown late In the season: Com.
mon field corn makes good fodder, but
we wot1ld recommend using sweet corn
in preference, on account of its being
more nutritious, and it is also liked by
the stock. When we'll cured it is more
valuable for feeding PURPOSES than the
best hay obtainabl6.

Element of business differences are ex-
emplified in the fact that the arbitration

Exchange has decided more than 1000
cases since 1862, many of them involving
large amounts, and loss Of much mag

expense by substituting arbitration for
litigation in the settlement of business

Bedding Plants In Carpet Patterns.
The fashion of bedding plants of diff
ferent colors in carpet patterns has been
developed in English gardens, under
conditions of warmth and moisture
which are unknown in this climate. In
the short, hot and dry summers of the
United States, striking effects in this for
NAL and artificial style of planting have
not yet been attai6ed, but every year
the florists are sending out new plants
obtained by careful hybridising and Sec
lection, with view to produce varieties
with bright>hued foliage and fast colors
under our trying sun. 1t is in stylish
summer resorts that the lawns are most
profusely ribboned, embroidered and
emhlazoned with floral bravery of this
sort. From Newport comes the account
that &c, 600 plants of single variety have
been ordered for one mass OF color on
the grounds Of swell villa. The short
est name yet invented for any one of
these &c, 600 specimens is alternanthera
parychoides major, but all this name has
not yet discouraged the little plant from
CLEO ming worry brightly in crimson and
gold. The casual statement that this
bed of alternantheras will cost $1,000
adds q slightly prosaic and commercial
flavor to the story, but then decorations
of this class are more widely appreciated
WREN they are known to be expensive.
