Matrimonial Collisions.

The collision of husband and wife is
so frequ' Mt as to have literature to it
self. in this case the man, though he
su fers also, suffers mu h the least. He
can, if he is severely d a pointed, get
menta lv away; he can form new
friendships, he can harden himself until
he S more or les, apathetic, he can put
affect on, which makes the true string
of such unions, away from him. and so,
with his GOODNESS restored, can go on
and find fe endnrable. He is free to
rive, though the striving is useless.
The woman-we are speaking tn ough-

concealing her disappoint from her

contented, or coolly disappointed, Or
patti ntly callous. The condition is
imperative and she must su1'er
daily, hourly. perhaps through
life, from a cause which even a mental
change, possible to be made if duty did
not forbid. would either remove or, at
least. diminish to much smaller pro-
portions. A woman so situated can not
be e ther serene or genuinely happy,
can at b st be resigned, feeling all the
while how harsh destiny is. vet how ir-
resis iule, because it exerts its force not
from outside, but straight on her own
heart. II must BEAR" saws the hus-

'chambreys, lawns. Scotch ginghams in
delicate shades, plain Turkey red cot
tons and neat figured satteens, are worn
with white muslin guimpes. This may
be q separate high-necked waist. gath
cred to belt, with long sleeves made
of muslin, tucked and embroidered, or
else the yoke and long sleeves may be
permanently attached to the colored
mater al. The little slips can be given
this effect by putting puff over the arm
at the shoulder. and by edging the yoke
with embroidery. The guimpes of fine
embroidery are pretty with dresses of
buff, pink, cream color or baby blue
cashmere. The guimpes of embroidered
muslin or nainsook are suitable for the
cotton goods, such as chambrey, batiste.
Scotch bingham and linen lawns. " hite
muslin slips can be utilized as guimpe
and petticoat, over which these low
necked dresses of cashmere or muslin
can be worn. A look of scantiness
should always be avoided in young CHI
dren's dresses. For rough country wear
dresses of flannel have simulated
guimpes of the same. For little girls
just in short dresses, there are small
yokes with lace plated inside. A very
pretty wrap for these little ones for the
spring Is a half length straight sacque
of red, garnet or electric blue cloth,
with white braid in rows on the edges,
and large white pearl buttons. There
are other long coats that cover the en-
tire dress. and are made OF flannel or
cloth and have box plat below the
waist. With these coats large collars
of white embroidery. braid la"e or
grenad ne are worn.-Broo1lsm Eagle.

Cultivation Of Currants.

The currant has always been a uni
versal favorite, not so much, perhaps,
because of the real nature of the fruit
as because of the extreme hardness of
the bush. which hitherto has withstood
a good deal of neglect, with little or no
attention. After once planting them in
some remote corner of the garden, or
under the fence, they are left severely
alone. But with the currant, as with
other things. as soon as they become
scarce, the demand for them Will in
crease; and better prices rule. My plan
of cultivation-which do not claim as
the best, but which has always su ceed-
ed with me-is simply this AS soon as
the leaves are off the bushes in the fall.
I go through them with sharp knife
and trim out the old branches, and any
of the new that show signs of borer,
and cut back all new shoots one-third.
I then rake up all the wood that has
been cut out, and burn it to make sure
of destroying all insects that might cling
thereto. This done. work in deep
usually with the spade-three or four
shovelfuls of good, well-rotted barn ma
nure around each bush. to the space of
about three feet; the ground between
the rows is now either plnwed or spaded,
and the whole given liberal top dress
ing of light manure, and the work is
done for the winter.
AS soon as the first worms appear in
the Spring-which is early take a
heaping tablespoonful of powdered
white he 'lebore, and thoroughly wet it
with boiling water-a quart or so. now
turn this to a pail of clean cold water.
stirring constantly all the while, till
every particle of the powder is well
mixed. 1t is ready now for application
to the bushes. which is done with
large watering pot. taking great care to
thoroughly sprinkle every bush; repeat
this as often as the worms reappear.
'sually two applications, one early in
the Spring, and the other just before
the fruit ripens, are sufficient to keep
down the worms. Keep the ground
around them mellow and free from
weeds, and if at any time through the
summer branch is seen to wilt. it is
Immediately cut away and burned, as
such is the sssign of the borar.
Following this method of cultivation,
/ have never lost bush or had a poor
crop of fruit. And bespoak the same
success to any who will take the same
trouble for the sake of this delicious
fruit. 1t will pay.-Practicat Farmer.

One Widows Great Woe.

There is nothing remarkable about
her. She is a shriveled, pinched little
widow, whose thin, rusty bla k gar
ments and faded veil of Grape have
withstood the sto ms and sunshine If
the six wears that have passed by since
she put on mourning for her lost .hus-
band. He had been a generous, dash
ing sailor, who spent his Little earnings
to make his family comfortable, and
when he went down at sea she dropped
all her old luxurious ways and went
forth to earn living for the two little
girls that were left to her. By going
out to nurse the sick and by taking in
sewing when not otherwise employed,
she managed to keep the children with
her, and last fall. when the younger
one began to go to school AMI brought
no ne little words of praise and encour-
agement from her teacher, there was
not a happier mother in Boston than
the one who occupied the modest tene-
ment on Northampton str et Work
and the responsibility of supper ting her
children respectfully had dulled her
great sorrow, and the desire to rear
them to h nest womanhood was some
thing to keep up her agging spirits
and cause hope to spring and grow
from what had at one time seemed the
depths of DESPAIR. Merry Christmas
was not celebrated with more joyful
ne anywhere than in this little family;
the turkey was small and the dolls were
inexpensive, ut they were as much to
tn ,se two children and their hearts were
as grateful for the gifts as though the
treasures OF Aladdin had been sho cred
upon them. 1t was the last Christmas

Trimming Apple Trees.

Those who did. not finish trimming
their apple trees before Christmas, have
had hut little opportunity to do it since:
the rough cold weather of the last half
of December and most of January, has
driven the orchardist into business that
would keep him warmer, than would
the work of trimming trees. Some
times there are pleasant days in Febru
airy in which this work can be com FORT
ably done; when there are they sould
be improved. because if the work be left
until March, the sap begins to start. so
that when a large limb is cut off, it is
kept so wet by the running sap, that it
is fficult to cover the wound with any
thing that will stick, thus leaving it ex-
posed to the changes of the weather I'M
til the leaves begin to open: then it
could be covered, but as a rule, if not
done when the limb is cut off, it is neg
lected until de ay commences, when it
is too late to prevent serious injury.
W lille it is no doubt best to cut off all
large limbs from fruit trees at a season
when the sap will no. flow from the
wound, there is no doubt that a tree can
be trimmed at any season, without seri-
Gus injury, if particular efforts be made
to cover the wounds with some wa err

To trim trees well, requires both pa
tience and skill, especially when it
