of the qualities that made his father emi-
nent and respected among the people. In
addition to other advantages, he possesses
that of experience, and his past record as
Mayor may be taken as an indication of
what is to be expected of him III the future
if the people of the town again favor him
with their suffragos at the approaching mu-
uicinaI election.

aedr. rl.nt. forth, Cola NORTH.

The best wind-break in our cold eli
mate is an evergreen me-. This gives
protection when most needed, which
deciduous trees do not. Buckthorn is
hardy, but not sufficiently vigorous.
Spruce, especially the White Spruce
(Picea alba) makes an excellent hedge,
and, grows fast. So does hemlock, but
hemlock in an exposed place will winter
kill at temperatures lower than 20 de-
grees below zero. In some places Ar
bor-yitm is winter-killed, but not by
cold as much as by damp winds. This
killing Is most common near the sea. In
Northern Vermont Arbor-vitp seems
eve to be injured, and it grows
very rapidly, yer in q dry, poor
soil. II, when o young orchard
is set, the rows are II northeast and
southwest, Or nearly in these direc-
tioas, and an Arbor-vit@ hedge is set
between every three rows, the trees
will be we'll protected from the wind.
The Arbor-vitg does not seem to injure
the soil perceptibly for the fruit trees.
| have seen orchards where the hedges
had become 80 feet high. and SO wide at
the bottom that the nearst row of fruit
trees tapples and pears) seemed to
spring ont from the edge of the hedge,
yet the trees were large, thrifty, and
productive, and the fruit very fine.
/ think it best to have no cross hedges,
as they prevent u proper circulation Of
air, md experience has shown that they
are quite unnecessary.

Ladies in the Gallery.

Ben: Perley Poore. in one of his in
teresting historical sketches, tells how
ladies first came to attend the sessions
of Congress and to hear the %oratorical
efforts Of the members. At first, the
notion that it was almost reasonable
for q lady to enter the British Parlia-
ment Houses,-a notion long since OBJ
solete in England.-was adopted in this
country. But it was abandoned even
while Washington was President.
Mr.. Poore says that after the famous
Jay Treaty" had been ratified by the
Senate and the president, in the face of
intense popular opposition, the House
came mar refusing to make on appro-
priation to carry into effect, and warm
debates ensued. One night at a party,
Mrs. Langdon, Of New Hamshire, ex-
pressed her regret to Hon. Fisher Ames,
Of Massachusetts,, that she could not
hear the arguments, especially his
speeches.
Mr.. Ames replied that he knew no
rensan why ladies should not be per-
mitted to hear the debates.
@Then, replied Mrs. Langdon, "ifyou
will let me know when you next intend
to speak, / will make up o party of Ia
dies and we will 60 and hear you"
The notice vas given, the ladies went,
and since then Congressional orators
have always had lady listeners.

Revival of the uoopskirs.

"Hoopskirts are certainly getting
more popular every year" said a man
%facturer to a reporter for The New York
Mail and Express. and in the course Of
q few years I firmly believe that we
shall have the crinoline popular again"
what dc you attribute their in
creased popularity to-"
"For sometime the Partisan fashion
papers have been speaking in high terms
of their Use, and the modistes have ad-
vocated their use very largely. They
are much preferable to the hustle.
Manufacturers of the steel hoop have
o perfected that article, and it is
now made as pliable as a fabric. The
new hoop is very different from the old
crinoline. Twenty years ago they used
to be made 80 to 100 inches in circum-
ference, and we used to laugh at any as
small as so inches: now they are made
81 and Sc inches in circumference. /
expect in the course of a year OF so to
have them very popular. A lady who
wears a hoopskirt of say Ga inches in
circumference can make q much better
display of her dsess than without it.
The style of wearing these handsomely
embroidered fronts to dresses can be
much improved on by the use Of the
skirts, the front being held more iii po-
ssNionr a.aa not hanging carelessly.n

Gold in Nova Scotia,

NOVA Scotia isnot generally regarded
as a gold producing country, yet since
the discovery of gold in 1860, it is said,
its mines have produced over IS, 900, 900
worth of bullion. The mines are leased
for twenty-one years with privilege Of
renewal, on royalty of two per cent.
on the gross yield. Strict account is
kept by the mines office with every
mine in operation and every person
holding a prospecting license. And
from these records it appears that since
1860 for every days work expended in
gold fields, both for mining and pros
pecting, an amount of bullion has been
produced equal to 50 SO per day per
man, counting wages at an average of
81 80 per day. The gold is a very fine
quality, being worth on an average
over $40 So per ounce, and frequently
$40. The auriferous rock is free mill
ing and yields from SIS to $500 per ton.
Materials for working the mines are
very cheap. Wood averages 81 rs per
cord, lumber Sc per thousand, and coal
So 80 per ton. Timber is the same
price us wood.

Timely H,nts to Girls.

The girls who have poured over the
pages of the little book Don't" are
now invited by an exchange to accept
advice in regard to things that they
should do.
Do be natural; 9 poor diamond Is
better than a good imitation.
Do try to be accurate, not only for
your own sake, but for the sake of your
sex; the incapacity of the female mind
for accuracy is a standard argument
against the equality Of the sexes. !
Do be exact in money matters; every
debt you incur means loss to some one,
probably to some one less able than
yourself to bear it.
Do answer your letters soon after
they are received, and do try to reply
to them with some relation to their CON
tents; q rambling, 1ll-considered letter
is a satire upon your education.
Do, when you talk, keep your hands
still.
Do observe; the faculty Of observation
well cultivated makes practical men
and women. Z
Do attach as much Importance to
your mind as to your body.
Do try to remember where you put
your gloves and card case; keep the
former mended and the latter filled.
Do recollect that your health is more
important than your amusement; you
can live without one, but you will die
early without the other.
Do try to be sensible; it is not a par
ticular sign of superiority to talk like
a fool.
Do put your hairpins in so that they
will stay; 1T looks ~slovenly to say the
least, to see them half dropping out.
Do be ready in time for church; if
you do not respect yourself sufficiently
to be punctual, respect the feelings Of
other people.
Do get up in time for breakfast.
Do avoid causes of irritation in your
family circle; do reflect that home is
the place in which to be agreeable.
Do be reticent; the world at large
has no interest in your private affairs.
Do cultivate the habit OF listening to
others: it will make you An invaluable
member of society, to saynothing of the
advantage 1t will be to you when you
marry; every man likes to talk about
himself; a good listener makes a delight
full wife.
Do be c%ontented; martyrs" are de-
testable; a cheeful, happy spirit is IN
fictitious; you can carry it about with
you like a sunny atmosphere.
Do avoid whispering; it is as bid as
Cycling: both are to be condemned;
there is no excuse for either one of them;
if you have anything to say, say it; if
you have not, hold your tongue alto
gether; silence is golden.
Do be truthful; do avoid exaggera-
ton; if you mean a mile say a mile,
not a mile and a half if you mean one
say one, and not a dozen.

Agricultural conasusation..

Add plenty of water daily" to the
directions for growing tender, crisp,
early radishes in sand with manure and
glass shelter as Croppie advises, and
there is no surer or quicker way of
drawing enjoyment from q bit Of gar
den. Nothing can be better to excite
interest in gardening operations, and to
make home seem the best place on
earth to q child who begins to look away
from it, than to occupy him or her with
this quick, pleasant, easy way of con
tributing to the home and de-
lights.
An Iowa paper, The Waverly Repub-
llcan, mentioned that not n mortgage OF
any kind has been filed in Bremen
County during the last five or six
months-"a sign of hard times, for the
recorders" But the State, as a whole,
sends out each year millions of interest
money to non-residents. Which prompts
the comment that "it will be a happy
day when our debts are paid and enough
1--we stock raised to consume all the
grain"

When you go into the barn in the

icicles when they get up to eat, just
think how you would feel in such a condi-
ton; and then set yourself to work
again till all your stock have q dry
place to lie in. This keeping cattle
and colts covered with filth is a relic of
barbarous laziness that is a disgrace to
any farmer and costs more in feed then
it saves in labor.

The large crops at home and abroad
render the idea prevalent that farmers
must sell early. It is q matter Of fact,
however, that each year farmers are
better able to hold crops for advance in
prices. They are less dependent than
formerly"
A common way of treating paint
brushes when not in use is to stand
them in water. This may be oil we'll
enough for a few days, but for any
time longer it is bad treatment, causing
the brush to be anything but soft and
pllable. AS soon as a job of painting
is done, wash the brushes with use of
hot water and soft soap, also using a little
naphtha as needed. Then dry and
wrap them in paper, and lay where you.
ri put your hand on them when
needed.

Down on Connecticut Yankees.

Looking over some old libers in the
surrogate's Office at New N6fKaae1erk
recently came across the wfnM 4sA
Morris, dated November is, 1850. leEs
will contained the following provisions:
ut is my desire that my son, Gouver-
neur Morris, may have tho best educa-
ton that is to be had in England or
America, but my express will and di-
rection are that he be never sent for
that purpose to the colony of Connecti-
cut, lest he should imbibe in his youth
the low craft and cunning SO incident %

Travelling ~Incognito.

When sovereigns pay private hisits to
other States they are said to travel in
cognito SO as not to be known]. They
do this in order to avoid the pompous
receptions and the firing Of guns, to
which they would have to submit, ii
they journeyed under their proper titles.
Chambers's Journal says: When Queen
Victoria goes to the continent, she is
called Duchess OF Lancaster, and foreign
dlgnitaries who approach her are ex-
pected not to address her as Your Maj
esty.
This rule of etiquette is not always
observed; but those who think that they
are doing honor to the Queen by trans
crossing it are quite mistaken; for to
ignore a soverign's incognito is to be
guilty of q piece of rudeness which
would be promptly resented if commit
ted by any person who was supposed to
be in a position to know better.
It makes an enormous difference to
equerries, ladies-in-w waiting, and maids
Of honor, whether they are travelling
with n duchess or queen.
A queen must not be spoken to unless
she first speaks, and persons ought not
to speak to one another in her presence.
Nobody can sit down in a room where
the queen is without being requested to
do SO; in the open air men must remain
b~areheaded when addressed by her
majesty, and must not come nearer
than three PAGES to her person.
All the 9 rules are relaxed when the
queen travels in some less than august
capacity, aud then the ladies and gen.
tlemen Of her escort behave in her pres.
ence as they would IN that Of any other
lady.
The man who would be perfect in the
knowledge of court ways has a great
deal to learn about the times and cir
cumstances when he may or may not dc
this and that.
