How to Have Early vegetables.

Earliness in any kind of vegetables is
generally considered by men who ought
to know to be one of the greatest points
gained in profits. al
Not one farmer or village plot owner
in o hundred yet understands how very
easy it is to have plenty of early vege-
tables, green peas, corn, potatoes, ETC.,
with q variety of early Towering plants.
After long deprivation of fresh garden
products, every week gained in spriag
and summer is so much added enjoy
ment, and is health-promoting. More
over, any enterprising man living access
ible to a village or two will find large
profit in being ahead in the market,
since, as with early spring lamb, those
first offering fresh garden products,
peas, corn, radishes, lettuce, beans,
beets, tomatoes, etc, will realize two,
or three, orfourfo'd the ordinary prices.
An instructive illustration was that
given by a farmer in Eastern Iowa,
who, pointing to his excellent farm
with fine buildings, said the
American Agriculturist in effect gave
him these, as it led him to go into this
early culture, and the extra profits
largely paid for both farm and fixtures.
Many others can give similar illustra-
tons.
Hot-beds nre very good helps, but
they are a bug-bear to many, simple and
easily managed as they are, and they are
not essential, Mr.. Andrews method (see
February number, page 5) is very good.
The cheapest method for ordinary, and
especially for larger operations, is the
following: Procure q full supply of
good sods, two or four inches thick,
when practicable cutting off an inch or
SO of the grass side with n sharp spade.
Select the southerly or ~southeasterly
side of q board fence, and place boards
along its bottom to shut off cold north
erly winds, or loose straw piled along
its colder side will answer well. Inlieu
of a fence, boards set on edge a little
leaning against a row of stakes furnish
a good windbreak, and are even better
than a fence, as one can walk we the
top Of them. Lay along the sunny side
of the boards or fence a bed of the sods
grass side down, two to four feet wide,
packing them firmly upon the previous
ly cleared ground surface. If the sods
are not a rich mold, and if they are,
it will be an advantage to sprinkle or
wet them with liquid anu dipped
from a low place in the barnyard, or
that made by partly filling a barrel or
cask with manure from the horses or
cattle heaps, and filling with water, STIR
ring and then dipping it out, or draw
ing it from a plugged hole at the bot
tom.

Ever the Spring returns with skies serene,
And baimy breath of infant buds and flowers;
Even the hills renew their primal green,
And melodies that ~gladdened earth's first
hours
Are heard again in many q hazel screen.
Warm hearts turn cold, quick pulses cease to
beat,
And love grows languid in the lapse of time;
beauty still tcmpts youths pursuing feet,
Bright eyes sre endless themes for FASHIONED
rhyme,
And lovers lows will be forever sweet
Great souls have died for truth and left their
fame
10 be the watchword of another age;
But virtue, Justice, courage, and high aim
Descend Through time, a common heritage,
And heroes live to-day in ali but name.
Years wax and wane, the good and true remain ;
How sweet love is my own heart telleth me.
Mine eyes have seen the unrme in the plain,
And in the crowded street, unwittingly,
l may have passed a martyr in his pain.

implement cut through the sod, not dis
turbing it, but leaving it in squares OF
various sizes from an inch or two to four
or five inches across, and in the middle
of each square place a few seeds of any
thing and everything which is desired
to bring forward early, as peas, beans,
corn, tomatoes, cabbage, cucumbers,
melons, egg plants, ETC., etc, and OF
various flower seeds if desired. Pota.1
toes cut in suitable sizes, or small whole>
ones, can eplaced in the larger squares.
All the above cen be done quite rapidly,
and as soon as the snow is off. 1t would
have been better to have had the sods
cut in the autumn and piled up with
leaning boards over them to shed rain;
but when not done the sods can be
gathered rs soon as the surface frost is
out. Sheltered from the colder winds
and exposed to the sun, the seeds will
vegetate and get the roots well started
in the sod. Ii a freezing
night is approaching coyerthe sods with
boards, or throw on a layer of loose
straw when the plants are above ground.
Whenever the open grounds is warm and
dry, and danger of frost is over, these
sod pieces are to be set in hills OF rows.
The growth will go right on rapidly
with a full month or more of time gained,
as few plants vegetate and extend
their roots beyond the diameter of the
sods within a month from the time of
sowing.
The cost and profit are easily seen
and estimated. A bed of sods q yard
wide and only four rods long will fur
nish 1904 squares, averaging three
inches across, or about exactly enough
to plant two full acres with hills three
feet apart each way in the rows.-Amer
lean Agriculturist.

to say aloud that they were getting to

was impatient and the hangman looked
weary. The proceedings made him
tired. Even the poor wretches waiting
death showed signs of annoyance, for
Uncle had not told them of his compact
with DR.. Rolf. The murmurs rose
higher and higher, but Uncle prayed
on without ceasing. An hour passed
and he was still on his knees. There
was now no relevancy in his appeal.
he merely uttered words and discon-
nected phrases to consume time. The
muscles of his throat contracted, his
tongue was dry and Glove to his mouth
and his voice was husky, but he prayed
on, the words falling without meaning
upon his hearers.
He told me later that he did not
know what he was saying, aud that the
only real prayer uttered in all that time
was a silent one and composed of four
words: God hasten Rolls footsteps

AT the end of an hour and u half there
was quite an uproar, and the discomfort
had almost become o riot, when a voice
cried: Here comes DIR. Rolfe!' MY
uncle did not hear or heed the new
tunult that now arose, but prayed on,
becoming weaker each minute. Soon
the horseman approached near enough
to be recognized, and the doctor dashed
up to the very foot of the scaifoId,
scattering people right and left. He
was too weak to speak or move, but a

Nightaress and handkerchief Cases.

st%< SeA SSf'GS
Just at present cases for nightdress-
es and sachets for handkerchiefs seem
popular. They usually match. and are
always lined with a contrasting color.
The newest fashion is to make them al
most square, with one corner turned
back and split up the center. The two
pieces are fastened back, and one is
quilted satin or Saline, secured by a
fancy headed pin, while the other is
plain, and has a monogram or device
embroidered on. The slit up the
turned back corner extends six inches
or 81 from the point. The lining Of
the case is wadded and quilted, and
sometimes scented, and the whole
edged with gathered lace, hemmed mus
lin, or frayed silk. The handkerchief
case opens in half, and on each side are
two places for handkerchiefs to
slip in, from the middle
plain ones, fancy ones, evening, and
colored. Another favorite shape is a
square. bordered fully with lace, with
the four corners tied together with a
bow, and thename or monogram worked
on one. Black satin lined with quilted
yellow sarsenet, brown lined with pink,
and pale blue with coral, are fashion
able, trimmed with tinted lace. The
brush case is also made to match, the
brushes and combs being thrust through
at the corner. The last idea is to make
the usual ugly sponge bag ornamental,
by either covering it with colored satin,
and working a flower on each side. or
in American cloth. paintings it and bind
ing all around with galoon.
Small squares of contrasting color,
such as pale pink and blue, form very
pretty sachets. Crossway stripe of silk
or satin lined with muslin, are pleated
so rs to form alternate squares of two
colors. The trimming is composed of a
spray of artificial flowers; h~oneysuckle
is charming with soft shades of pink and
blue, and the sachet if finely edged with
lace; in a white sachet, half the squares
are Of velvet, and the others are of Otto
man. ..-. =.

application, and none so easily attain
able as water; and yet nine persons in
ten will pass by it in an emergency to
seek for something of far less efficiency.
There are but few cases Of illness
where water should not occupy the
highest place as q remedial agent.
A strip of flannel or a napkin folded
lengthwise, and dippedin hot water and
wrung out, and then applied around the
neck of q child that has the Group, will
usually bring relief in ten minutes.
A towel folded several times and
dipped in hot water, and quickly wrung
and applied oven the seat Of the pain in
toothache or neuralgia, will generally
afford prompt relief. This treatment
in collie works almost like magic. I
have seen cases that have resisted other
treatment for hours yield to this in ten
minutes. There is nothing that will so
promptly cut short a congestion of the
lungs, ore throat or rheumatism as hot
water when applied promptly and thor
oughly.
Pieces Of cotton batting dipped in hot
water and kept applied to old sores or
new cuts, bruises and sprains, is the
treatment now generally adopted in
hospitals. Ihave seen a sprained ankle
cured in an hour by showering it with
hot water, poured from q height of
three feet.
Tepid water acts promptly as an
emetic, and hot water taken freely half
an hour before bedtime is the best of
cathartics in the cast of constipation,
while it has a must soothing effect on
the stomach aud bowels. The treat
ment continued for . few months, with
proper attention to diet, will cure any
durable case of dyspepsia.
Headaches almost always yield to
the simultaneous application Of hot wa
ter to the feet and the back of the neck.
1t is an excellent plan to record facts
like these in a note book, which should
be always at hand when wanted. In
the anxiety caused by the accident or
sudden illness in the family, one be-
comes confused, and is rot apt toremem-
Der quickly what should be. done; hence
there may be prolonged and unneces-
sary suffering before proper remedies
are applied.

assault on her person. She related II
Enthusiastically, and said that her
persistent resistance had foiled his
efforts until relief came Ia the return
of her daughter and the neighbors.
When we consider that the accused
had been left with this old lady to
guard the premises, after the inmates
had been frightened by some one trying
to enter the house through the window,
and while her daughter, Mrs. Graham,
and defendants wife had gone 10 seek
assistance from other neighbors, that
Whitesides should have assaulted her
emaciated body with lustful intent, Is
almost too horrible TO be believed.
Yet he did so from the proof, and the
only explanation that can possibly be
given Is that the man was totally de-
mented when the act was committed,
and that a ray OF reason dawned upon
him in the act that arrested his pur.
pose, for those emaciated arms
could offer but little resistance
to y man OF his strength.
The case of A. IL. Peacock was dis
posed of by the court discharging him
Tor the alleged assault, on the ground
that the complainant, Koch, was the
aggressor In the difficulty.
