tage Of promoting success without adj
ditionsl expense. 1t consists in the ex-
ercise of the thought derived from ex-
p~erienee. A pfGpof succession OF crops,
with other essentials, gives heavy re-
turns in all. while renatition ofthe same,
or improper succession, tends to ex-
haustion or failure. Al good, well.de-
gised rotation tends largely to the ex-
clusion of perennial as well as annual
weeds.
These three points are indispensable.
So is the use of manure, and hence the
importance of saving and applying prop
erly all that a be made. Waste by
washing is to be avoided, and waste by

One OF the prettiesr ways OF draping

cord in the center but the right one
caught UP much lower down. Above
the curtain on the left side is a second
drapeTy or valance, topped back half
way between the top and the cord in the
center. the curtains are crossed al the
top SO that the one that is hung on the
right side falls on the left and vice
versa. The effect of this arrange
ment is exceedingly good, but
1T is only possible in doorways or win
dows which have sufficient height and
not too much breadth for the crossed
curtains. Mirrors and chimney pieces
are draped in a similar manner, and
without C ossing the curtains at the top.
Adeep valance falls from the mantel
shelf and is drsped in irregular fashion
That taste and fancy may dictate. Light
Indian and Chinese silks are frequently
employed with good effect for draping
the large mirrors which are no longer
fashionable but cannot easily be taken

Free and Easy Manners.

When girls assume a staggering man

manner always controls that of a gentle
man; and if she does not respect her.
self he will not respect her. When boys
and girls, young men and maidens, are
allowed to fall into the absurdities OF
low, foolish, meaningless, talk, it seems
to dwarf them intellectually; they can
find nothing of interest or importance to
say, and therefore make up for sense
by filing every sentence with needless
ordinations, exaggerations, or misused
adjectives. 1t requires much patience
to be compelled to listen to half q dozen
folks and hear the strange inappropri-
ate use Of language. They will assure
