train for Bergedorf, a small village a
dozen miles east of Hamburg. We
might have searched for the rest of the
season and not found so attractive a
resting-place. 1t is an old-time village,
with its chateau, its church, its six
teenth-century inns. and confused
tumble of decrepit dwellings of every
period, supporting each other in rows
which look as if they would fall like
cards if one of them We're removed.
A restful quiet has settled on the town.
Except at morning and even nc. when
the peasants pass through on their way
to and from the railway station. there
is little or no clatter of carts. The
growing activity of the near seaport
and the contagion of improvement have
not yet fastened upon the village, al
though the railway has long since sup
planted the diligence and the market
wagon. In the old inn, which for two
hundred and fifty years had been kept
by the same fam ly, there was an air of
privacy and domestic comfort which
made us hesitate before we asked wheth-
er we could be accommodated with
lodgings there. Once installed. we be-
came members of the family, and every
thing that belonged to the house was
at our disposal.
Bergedorf is the chef town of the
little province of Vierlande, which.
with all its villages and farms. counts
no more than 1.5C0 inhabitants, scat
tered over terri tory of about forty
square miles. The province is made up
of four great polders inclosed by bikes.
which keep out the waters of the Elbe
and its tributaries, which intersect the
valley at this point. These polders
correspond in measure to townships,
each having its village, with church
and school-house, and each distin-
guished by different customs and pecu-
liarities of costume. In productiveness
they rival the most famous gardens Of
Holland. Quite distinct from the sur
rounding country by reason of its pc
culiar situation, Vierlande is looked
upon by its e;ghbors as a semi-foreign
territory, and this idea is encouraged
by the remarkable dress of the Vier-
landers. and their quaint language,
which few of the neighboring people
can we'll underestimate. d. lfiitet, in

THE CURRANT.

Enemies of This Most Plea ,ant and
Hea1thful Fruit.
just as the fruit grower oegins to
congratulate himself on having con-
quered the first and second crop of
currant worms, he goes into his garden
to find that a very large number of the
twigs of his currant bushes are lavlng
on the ground. and considerable
number half-broken off, but still hang
ing to the bushes in wilted state. He
wonders what the trouble is, and if he
gives it but passing thought, con-
cludes that the new growth is so tender
that they have been broken off by the
wind. Should he stop to examine he
will discover that they have been bitten
off by some insect; close watching will
convince him that the work has been
done by a long-bodied and long winged
fly, nearly the shape, as to length. as
winged ant. They are very sluggish and
are easily caught. Ii no further investiea-
ton be made, the fruit grower only la
ments the loss of the new growth of
his bushes. but as they soon start again
he concludes that the injury is not very
serious, and SO he turns his attention
to more serious troubles, among them
the worm that kills whole stalks by
eating down through the heart of the
stalk. This troubles him very much
because he does not know how to pre-
vent it; when he discovers the diving
stalk it is too late to prevent the mis-
chief, so year after year he is compelled
to see his bushes die out, with no power
to prevent it. He has not the remotest
idea that the fly that cut off the ends of
the twigs had anything to do with it,
but the fac. is he is the identical rogue
that is at the bottom of the trouble.
1t is the female fly that cuts the twig
partially off that she may prepare a
place wherein to lay her eggs.
after cutting the twig perhaps half off,
she lays an egg which in short time
matches cut and begins to eat its
way down in the center of the twig,
growing larger and larger as it de-
sends, until when full grown it is
large enough to very much iniure if it
does not kill the stalk. When this fact
is fully understood the remedy is easy
and sure. When twig is found to be
eaten off, to destroy the egg, cut oft
another inch of the twig. It may
sometimes be necessary to go over the
bushes twice, but as rnie once 10
enough, if the cutting is not done until
four or five day after the flies first APP
pear; but if It should be necessary to
ro over Their. the second time, it can
be readily sem which twigs have been
cut with q snife, and which by the
flies. By adopting this practice few
wears it will be found that the number
of flies viii. be greatly reduced, so that
the work Of cutting the twigs will be
very trif,ing.-Aassachusetts Plough

An Interesting and Picturesque Seaport of

An Interesting and picturesque seaport OF
Germany.
Hamburg, Notwithstanding the
modernization since the great fire OF
1912, is more interesting and pictures
que than any other seaport of Ger
many, except Lubbock. The tOrtuous
streets of the old gnarter, the maze
of narrow canals that intersect the
town in all directions, the imposing
rows of Hanseatic houses, give it a
character which generations of modern
improvement will not obliterate. In
the arrangement of its parks, and of
the great water basins, which add so
much to the attractiveness of the town
as place of residence. the inhabi-
tants have displayed spirit of enter
prise quite transatlantic III scope. In
deed, signs of American influence are
prominent on all sides. Even the
center-board cat-boat has been i'm
ported to decorate the intermural
lakes with its swan-like hull and spot
less sails. The American visitor is con-
tinually surprised by the familiar look
of various objects of use and luxury
which the Hamburgers have readily
adopted as their own.
In the market-place, where we had
seen the picturesque peasantry of Fier-
lande on our previous visit, we readily

The etiquette of hand-shakino ia

The etiquette of hand-shaking is
simple. No man should assume to
take lady's hand until it is offered.
A lady extends her hand and allows
the gentleman to take it. On intro
duction in a room married lady gen
orally shakes hands; young ladies not
often. In the ballroom, where the in
PRODUCTION is for dancing, not for
friendship, never shake hands. The
more public the place of introduction
the less hand-shaking takes place.

A writer in Boston paper, who is, we
think, the interesting Miss Maud Howe, of
Boston, now in New Orleans at the
Woman's Department this winter, thus
mentions the street-car drivers strike:
"That was wonderful drive, by far the
most remarkable horse-car drive I have
ever experienced. 1t was on the day of
the car drivers strike. We had been at
the exposition all the morning, and on
leaving the building came down as usual by
the dummy as far as the ear station, still
three miles from home. There we found a
crowd of passengers waiting, group of
discouraged looking officials, and the usu-
al mass of bystanders, which in New
Orleans is accumulated by curious attract
i've force at any -nnWonted occurance.

TO Heart.
EMMA KIRKLAND.

Oh! proud heart be strong
Why suffer that hard pain
For an error of the brain
Thou vast not in the wrong.
Oh! still be strong and true;
Lend thy strength, take part,
Oh! wronged and faithful heart,
In work the brain must do.
Work so ennobling and pure,
When rightly, dutifully done,
1t lifts us as far as the sun
Above all that is grossly low
To a lofty, glorious height
So high that we cannot see,
And may even forget that there be
Low passions and objects of thought.
Thou'st been barred to the knife
Many, many time before
Then why shrink and culver so
Will it spill thy very life ?
Thou need'st it now and then,
Its missions deep and wide,
sd That there may be strong ebb-tid
f'Of thy trust in women and men.

He was greeted with an increduIous
laugh. The exquisitely dressed young

their readiness to back the dauntless two,

animal out from The station. An enthusi-
astic cheer rent the air. The mule was
attached. 1t became apparent even to
the skeptical New Orleans crowd, which
rarely believe anything, that there was
strong probability of our starting. Then
the crowd made rush for the car. As
many as could get into it crushed their
way between the doors, and the step was
laden with half dozen clinging men.

the weight of twenty men who laid hands

The fares had not been paid. A conductor
made his way through the car, and having
collected the money departed and left us to
cur fate and the Kentucky volunteer.
Again the long, lean arm brandished the
more attenuated whip, and this time we

our gallant rescuer was as unaccustomed to
driving mule car as the young exquisite
at his elbow was unused to turning brake.
The mule was evidently in sympathy with
the car driver, for soon his heels flew up
