1t is said that one of the best ways
of preparing cut flowers to send to a
distance is to cut Sits in potatoes and
insert the flower stems, taking care that
they are firmly fastened in and sup
ported by a little cotton or paper. Po-
tatoes may be used in the same way in
floral decorations by concealing them
under leaves and fowers.-N. Y. EG-
Gnaiaaer.
To Cure Sites: With fine camel-hair
pencil paint the infamed papilla with
a tincture of iodine. The lids should be
held apart by the thumb and index
finger of the left hand while the tincture
is applied and until the part touched is
dry. A few applications in the twenty
four hours is sufficient. This treatment
has been used with success by q writer
in the London Lancet.
Peter Henderson says the best shad-
ing he has ever used for the glass in
greenhouses or hotbeds is naptha, mixed
with a little white lead, so as to give it
the appearance of thin milk. This can
be put on the glass with syringe, very
quickly, at cost not exceeding twenty
five cents per one thousand square feet.

The odor of flowers sometimes
comes from the petals, as, for instance,
from the petals of the rose. The petals
or floral leaves of the rose give out an
odor long after they have been gathered.
This is not the case with most flowers.
A recent writer has called attention to
the fact that the sweetest carnation is
odorless soon after it is cut, as are most
of the sweet flowers used in cut flower
work. The mignonette and heliotrope
were supposed to be exceptions, but as
these continue to open new flowers
when cut and placed in water. it is
probable the odor comes only from the
opening blossoms. N. =. Independent.

Justice Field, of the United States
Supreme Court, says he travels 5000
miles a year in attending to his official
duties. His travelling expenses amount
to more than $1,000 year when he
goes alone, and to more than $4,000 a
year when his wife accompanies him;
and the Judges alone, Of high Gov
eminent officers, have to pay their own
travelling expenses, which he freely de-
clares he considers to be an outrage.

Tie True Art Of Haymaking.

j. In cloudy weather grass dries but
slowly and is liable to be stacked or
housed without sufficient curing.
Therefore the wisdom, when practical
BILE, Of cutting meadows in fair weather.
The precaution should also be observed
of cutting only SO much grass at one
time as can be properly handled.
Grasses dry much more rapidly if cut
after the morning dew is off than they
will if cut when the moving is done.
Rapid drying is an absolute necessity
when the best quality Of hay is desired,
There is nothing that assists in quick
curing more than good tedder; farm
ers who have much grass TO harvest will
do well to provide themselves with SO
valuable an implement.
The true art of hay making consists
in curing grass just up to the point at
which it will do to put into the barn,
and no more. in order to arrest the loss
of sugar and starch at the earliest pos
sible moment. Grass quickly cured is,
other things being equal, more nutri-
tious than grass longer exposed to shift
ing winds and scorehing sunshine.
Some farmers consider one good hay
day sufficient in which to expose the
grass before being housed. while others
require Two, even three, days. Some
prefer to let it lie on the ground just as
it was left by the mower; others cure it
in the windrow, and still others cure it
in the cock.
This difference of practice in the
method Of curing results chiefly from
the difference existing in the curing
quality OF the various grasses. limo
thy, for instance, cures more readily
than herds-grass, while the common
grasses require still longer time than
the herds-grass. Timothy will dry suf-
fciently in one day if the weather be
propitious. During the early part OF
The season two days are usually required
for properly curing heavy grass. Later,
when the grass is nearly ripe it can be
cured in one day.
Clover contains more water. than
other grasses, consequently it requires a
longer time to cure it properly. Curing
is better accomplished in the cock than
in the sun, for the succulent leaves and
tender blossoms of clover, if exposed to
the scorching heat, are quickly
Drowned and lose their Sweetness. Pre-
yious to storing in the barn, the cock
ought to be turned over and exposed
long enough to dry the hay which lies
close to the ground.
Clover, as it lies scattered by the
mower, will be injured if the dew falls
upon it. Clover hay will not shed rain,
and hence when stacked out in the
fields should be protected either with
patent covers, matching, or q thick top
covering of wheat straw.
Great care should be exercised in
~ properly forming the cocks, in view Of
wet weather, wien meadow hay is to
remain in the cocks for an indefinite
time. First Of all, do not make the
cocks too large, and let them be as
sharp at the top as possible, with the
sides nearly perpendicular, and finally
provide them with cloth caps. -N r

Buildings That Resist Earthquakes.

The volcanic eruptlons in Java, the
earthquake in Ischia, and our own
Western tomatoes have probably
caused much more destruction of life
and property than they would have
caused if buildings had been specially
adapted to resist them. In Japan,
where shocks Of earthquake are fire.
quent, it is not usual to dig founda-
tions for any building, no matter how
large or important it may be- Rocks
slightly rounded at the top are placed
where the four corners of the house
are to be. The corn9r posts, also
rounded at the end, rest on these. The
timbers are all pinned together, not
nailed, so as to allow Of considerable
movement without coming apart. In
the central portion of the building the
timbers are particularly heavy, and
act as ballast. In high towers there
are sometimes huge beams swung
from the roof and reaching to
within foot Of the ground, which pre-
vent the building from being over
turned either by earthquake or storm.
The Oldest building in Japan, the
treasury at Nara, is built in this man
ner, without the swinging beam, but
with very heavy ballast in the frame
work Of the center Of the floor. A
well-knoWn artist is the inventor Of a
painting hut which is constructed in
part en- the same principle. 1t rests
on stones at the corners, the timbers
are keyed together, and it carries a
heavy ballast under the floor. 1t is,
however, in addition secured to the
ground by ropes and anchors. This
hut will outride a gaze in perfect
safety. Probably it would not with
stand the force of a tornado; but it
would whirl through the air without
failing to pieces, and would reach the
ground again right side up. A larger,
heavier structure Of the same sort
might not be budged even by tor
nado.

The rocket factories at the arsenal at

caused by fire IN the main building. which
included the laboratory. The building was
destroyed within half an hour after the fire
broke out. It contained an immense number
Of war rockets which were filed with destruc-

tons, many being projected to and falling
upon the other side of the Thames. The fire
was extinguished at noon, when the rockets
ceased their explosions.

explosions Of the rockets during thefire were
as frightful as if occurring in an actual
siege. There was regular fusillade. the mis-
siles exploding in all directions with dsafen-

merous batteries of artillery Some Of the
war rockets were projected distance Of five
miles One Of them went through the wall
Of an arsenal and another struck the artillery

another entered a diapers shop in Wool-
wich, and still another wrecked a grocery

US true to ourselves.
We should advocate no theory which

The reality of death demonstrates
our own insignifcance.
shun every act that can be judged

Patience is not passive; on the con-
trary, it is active, it is concentrated

The best portion of good mans life
is his little nameless, unremembered

Truths are first clouds, then rain.
then harvests and food. The phiIoso-
ply Of one century is the common sense
Of the next.
The next thing to excellence is to
love excellence; and to love its oppo-
site is to be its opposite. To hate ex-
cellence is to be at its opposite pole.
Poverty is hard, but debt is horrible.
A man might as well have smoky
house and scolding wife, which are
said to be the two worst evils of our
life.
If all men were to bring their mis-
fortunes together in one place, most
would be glad to take their own home
again, rather than take portion out
Of the common stock.
Men talk in raptures of youth and
beauty, wit and sprightliness, but,

And pale stars blossom in the sky,
And twilight gloom has dimned the bloom

And glimmers down the garden walls
When buzzing things, with double wings
OF crisp and raspish futterings,
