Things in General.

The mayor of Boston lately sent tive
packages of exactly the same size and
weight, one to Paris, France, and the
other to Worcester, Mass. The former
went 5000 miles and the postage was 2e
cents and the latter went 40 miles and the
postage was % cents.
At the Office of the American bank
note company in New York there is
used q stamp with a clock attachment,
so arranged as to stamp Oh any paper
or package o dial indicating the exact
time of day when the impression was
made. This precise record OF the time
of any given transaction, made IN con
nection with other memoranda; which
are recorded by the stamp at tire same
time, is found agreat aid in accuracy
and c~learness in the company's accounts.

IF the social necessities of the time in
England is said to be the emigration OF
half a million of surplus women. The
recent report Of the Women's Emigra-
ton Society declares that in three years
the society has sent to the colonies $50
women. "Three hundred and tifty!"
exclaims the Pail Mall Gazette, "is it
not trying to empty the Atlantic with q
teaspoon?"
The late New York Legislature en-
acted a law Furnishing railroad baggage
smashes with a fine of $50 for each
trunk destroyed, in addition to the La

While a proper regard to etiquette
should always be paid during waking
hours, it is equally proper that people
should conduct themselves in a decor
Gus manner while asleep. A Catskillla la
dy dreamed the other night that shesaw
her husband kissing a neighbor's wife.
The correct etiquette in this case was
for the lady to continue her dream and
apply for a divorce in the land Of Nod.
] Instead of so doing she awoke and
struck her slumbering spouce OF the
face, breaking his nose. Nothing could
be more unladylike or uncalled for.

The Bang Out CT Date.


The decadence of the bang is an
nounced. A few years ago a young la.
dy without bangs would have been as
obsolete as a three-cent postage-stamp.
Now one who wears bangs is looked at
askance, as much SO as if she appeared
in a dashing jockey costume. The
bang is out of date. 1t has served its
purpose, and must go. The new style
is the Saratoga wave and the Grecian
coil. The Saratoga wave in a revival
in a modified form of custom which
prevailed twenty-five years ago, when
ladies we're wont to part their hair in the
middle and bring it down in two semi.
circles from the center Of tue forehead,
covering the ears, and fastening it at
the back Of the head. The new style
makes the curve toward the back Of the
head begin at the temples. The effect is
to bring outthe attractive features OF the
face and conceal bullying forehea6s and
creased temples. The Grecian coil is q
skillful twisting of the hair at the back
of the head. 1T has a very charming
effect, and makes a pretty woman per-
fectly irresistible when she turns her
back.

effort 10 keep it pure. In selecting
seed ALWAYS take ears from large, Well
developed stalks. Choose those that

beating of d knife or spoon with more
resistance, and gives You the conviction
that you are really beating something

plants, mostly Hoyey's and Cutters
Seedlings, on two rods of land and with
four hours of labor" He urges all
farmers and rural residents with mo

who depend upon the open market
never can buy the best fruit, indeed
they have little conception Of the luxury
of a dish of good, well-ripened straw

The Massachusetts, Ploughman
Zone of the great mistakes hat many
make who attempt to grow strawberries
in their gardens, is in trying to get
more than one crop of fruit from a set
of vines. The easiest and best way is
toset new vines every year, keep them
well cultivated until October, then omit
cultivation until the fruit is all ripe and
gathered, when the vines should be
ploughed under and the land set with
cabbage OF sown to turnips, thus getting
another crop and at the same time keep
ing the ground free from weeds and
grass. If an attempt be made to carry
the bed over another year, it will take
twice as long to clean the bed Of grass,
weeds and surplus vines, as it would to
set . new bed, and keep IL clean the
entire season; but once cleaning will
not be enough, il must be weeded out
several times during the season, and
even then will not yield as much as q

Twins Astonish Judge and Jury.

From the Augusta CMe.l Journal
At q trial in Augusta the other day,
before Judge Whitehouse, the case be-
ing a family quarrel between disgrunt-
led heirs, among the witnesses for the
defense were twins. They were not
ordinary twins. They had hair Of the
brightest auburn, eyebrows the color OF
flax, pink and white compilations, and
dresses exactly alike, even to tho least
important bow. Their names were ex-
actly alike, with the single exception
that an "a appeared in one of their
names instead of an "o.p When the
first appeared on the stand the jury,
Judge, and lawyers regarded her attens
lively; she gave her testimony in mod
est manner and stepped down. Anoth-
er name was called it was that OF her
twin sister. As her counterfeit pre-
sentiment quietly took tbs stand
there was q hush IN the court
Judge, Jury, lawyers and spectators sat
transfxed, and gazed first at the wit
ness in the box and then ct the place
where her sister had taken her seat.
They could hardly believe their eyes it
seemed as if the last witness had re-
turned to the box without being recalled.
The lawyer conducting the cross exam
nation put the usual questions; the
name and residence were, to all appear
ances the same in the case other double
just on the stand, and the voice precise
ly the same in tone and infection. The
jury looked at each other and seemed
ready to match coppers as to whether
they were awake or not. Then the
lawyer asked the witness if she had
been on the stand before during the
trial, and received a quiet answer In the
negative. This satisfied the court, al
though If her twin sister had not sat In
| plain view at the other end of the court
| room it il by no means certain that she
would not have been indicted for per
jury.

Preserves.

remember as if it were atreat of yes
terday the delicious rsb-applepreseryes
which with a slice of grandmother's bread
and butter, made up a lunch of great mer-
il for the children. Hound out last sum-
mer just how she preserved this some
times desp1sed fruit. After looking the
apples over to see that No wormy ones
were put In, and also to pick off the re-
mains of the blossoms, she rinsed them
off. Thu, leaving the stems on,
she weirs d them, and to one pound OF
fruit allowed three-quarters of a pound
of sugar. The apples were put into a
preserving kettle with enough water
nearly to cover them. When the skin
was tender so that it could be pierced
with no effort, the apples were taken
out and a syrup made with this same
water and sugar. When the syrup
reached the boiling point the apples
were put back into the kettle and the
whole allowed 20 simmer until the up
pies were thoroughly cooked andlooked
clear. In grandmother's day this was
put into jars, but the canning process
so universal in our time is a vast i'm
provement, for, although the fruit
would keep" more or less thought
must be given to it to insure its not
working.

The Gardeners Chronicle asserts that
peonies are again attracting the atten-
of horticulturlsts in England. Il they
are borne on popular wave in Europe,
we may soon expect that, that wave Will
reach this country. Peonies possess true
merits, especially in the fact that, while
thew are choice and SNOWY, they may be
grown by those who are not profession
al gar ieners. The IA Of people Will
always like them, and if horticulturists
lead the way, there is no reason why
they may not much increase in numbers.
Over twenty snowy species of peonies
are now known. If judicious culture
and intercrossing be applied to these
species, many beautiful horticultural
varieties will soon result. Double
peonies are easily got, and beingso large
they are excelled by few flowers for a
clump or a back-ground.-The Amer

Weights Of Sheep.

From the Farm, Field and Preside.
But few farmers are aware OF the
heavy weights sometimes attained by the
large breeds of sheep. Some of the
breeds, as managed in England, exceed
800 pounds. The average weights OF
1O-months' lambs, at Smithfeld, Eng,
in 1884, show that the growth OF those
lambs from the special breeds is very
rapid. The lambs of the Hampshire
and Wiltshire Downs averaged 204
pounds; cross breeds, 1S8 pouads; Ok
~fordshires, 178 pounds; Cotswolds, Ito
pounds Shropshire, 153 pounds; South
downs, 161 pounds; Leicesters, l29
pounds. At the age of 81 months, the
weights were as follows: Hampshire
and Wiltshire Downs, 293 pounds; Ok
ford, 292 pounds; Lincoln, 283 pounds
Cotswolds, 283 pounds; cross breeds,
270 pounds; Kentish, 253 pounds; Lei
c~esters, 244 pounds; Shropshires, 239
pounds; Southdowns, 216 pounds.
Here we notice that the Southdowns
fell but little below the Leicesters at q
months. The above showing is credit
able one for the Southdowns, and con-
firms their position as one of the best
breeds that can be used for improve
ment,
