1r1y Goods.

Purses.

PARASOLS have got to go now-no trifing with slow styles or superhuous stock best styles have to be cheaper too to keep ahead of competl- tors.-Here is what we did on Saturday-marked down after this fashion A lot of colored satin, lined and lace trimmed parasols that ranged in price $1o, $6.75 $6, $5, all ruthlessly put down to $2.5O: a lot of black satin, lined parasols that were $4 made $2.5O: some handsome rich brocades from SIP and $1o to $500: a few fancy styles that we should dis like very much to have left we have actually put down from $9 to $3.OO! A few beautiful white satin $5 shades reduced to $2.5O. Now we have not many of any one of the above, (although taken altogether there are more than we like, so you must not blame us if some are sold out before you come. Ii you come on Monday we shall be able to show you every item as advertised, (and many more like them,) but we cannot un- dertake that they will all hold out to the end of the week. We hope not. Our purpose in making such sacrifices is to get rid of the goods quickly.
 PURSES-We mention these, not because we have re- duced them, but because we have just got in a large invoice of very nice new goods-in Nor occo, calf, grained leather, imi- tation seal and alligator, Per sian calf, Russia, real seal, real alligator, and fancy leather. New bags and belts.

 If apples have set very thickly whip some off.
 You can't stir the soil of newly set straw berries too often.
 Just after the last strawberries are picked, the bed should be thoroughly and,deeply dug over and liberal coat of old manure applied. This will induce strong roots to support next years crop.

The form I CT and red raspberries should have the main upright shoots nipped at four feet high, and the black raspberries at three feet. Then later as the side branches get spindling, nip off the tips If the heights named have been reached before the pruning is gotten at, then cut them back to these. Such treat ment causes the branches to grow so stocky ! and strong that stakes and trellis can readily be dispensed with.

is allowed to roam, some grass or other green food should be thrown down for the hen daily.
 Ti1lage.-To kill weeds and grass in culti- vated crops is an important, but it is not the most important use of the tllage. The pre- vention of the escape of moisture from the soil, in the average dryness of our summer seasons, must be placed good way ahead of it, so far as direct results are concerned. How tillage saves the loss of moisture IS not hard to comprehend. The surface of the soil, with being exposed to the free action of the sun and the air, is the point from which moisture ordinarily escapes by evaporation. As it passes away from the surface, more moisture is drawn up from below by capillary action, precisely as oil up in lamp is drawn up to the flame as fast as the flame consumes it. Now, the more compactly the particles of earth are held together up to certain com. mon degree, the more perfect is the capillary action of the soil, just as wick of ordinary firmness draws up the oil better than one of loose network of flores would. IlIlage breaks up the compactness that ordinarily exists in unbroken soil. It thus reduces the power of capillary attraction. Moisture, that but for the stirring of the soil would be drawn and dissipate, remains below for the use of the,cultivated plant. The deeper the tills age the more is the power of capillary at traction overcome, with corresponding ad- vantage to growing plants. Tillage, by ad- mitting air into the soil, also hastens the elaboration of plant food in the soil and causes the absorption of ammonia, which the roots then take up.

 There is at least one alderman in Buffalo who has an imagination. He asserts that in his city 'sthe little fishes of the community are compelled to go down on their knees to the big ishes."
