A Prominent philadelphia insurance
man said to a reporter: "It is surpris-
ing how few people would insure their
lives unless induced to do SO by agents
or brokers. I do not think one-iftieth

portion Of the years premiums have to
be paid by way Of commissions to the

strange that we cannot buy real estate

or do q hundred other things without
employing and paying somebody else

A dispatch to the New York World

"A long, standing scandal has inst
had q startling climax, involving the
death Of two persons, and the wrecking
of two hitherto peaceful and happy

Cucumbers.

This crop may be put in at any time,
either in June or July, as the vines
grow fast and bear early. The Long
green varieties are best, but there is a
kind called the Jersey pickle, which
suits better for those that are intended
forthe salt barrel. The Gherkin should
not be overlooked, as it is one of the
best for picking, though unsuitable for
the table. The bugs are very destruc-
tive to the vines at times, but a solu-
ton of soap and water, with a small
proportion of kerosene, will do much in
the way of preventing their attacks.
Sow the seed often, so as to have them
coming in frequently, as they are worth
less when ripe. As they are picked
green it is an easy matter to have them
continuously till fall.

Farming Paragraphs.

The mountain ash, it is said, makes
agood stock on which to bud the ounce,
for culture on very light, sandy soils.
Raise from seed and bud when two
years old.
Have you made any provision for
giving the cows, during the droughts of
August and September, a daily ration
of some green food. It will add fifty
per cent. to their yield Of milk, and 100
per cent. to their comfort. Remember,
a COW is but a machine; she can only
manufacture. and cannot originate; so
if you want butter and milk you must
supply the raw material-good food. 1t
is not too late to sowa piece of corr for
this purpose.
There is not only comfort in having
plenty of fruit, but there is health as
we'll. The yearning of the system on
these hot days for those juicy, refresh
ing fruits, is but the voice of Nature ask
ing for q supply ofthe acids contained
in them, to enable her to over
come the evil effects OF last winters Sc
we're cold, and no II can afford to DIS
regard it. If you have not plenty of
all kinds of fruit in its season, neglect
the matter no longer; but set apart a
generous plot of ground, and set about
preparing it for next springs planting.
Yaces, hanging baskets, and window
boxes may have the plants set closely
together without harm, because the air
and light have free access to them.
But when many plants are thus brought
into a small space, the soil needs to be
decidedly rich, or else it will soon be-
come exhausted detrimentally.
The Norway and other spruces, frs,
hemlocks and arbor vitae, thrive under
the free use of the pruning-knife and
shears, and their shapes may often he
much improved by the means. Now is
a good time to prune, while the young
growth may be clipped without fear at
any time during the summer To geta
dense, pyramidal form, starting at the
ground, the lower branches should be
kept the longest. An evergreen pruned
to have q bare trunk is o poor object.
