Mhan Inaian Summer Comes.

After the equinoctial storm, when

people say that the Dice weather we
had recently was Indian Summer,

THE DECEASED WIFE'S SIS
TER BILL.

TER BILL.
1t was one bitterly cold March af-
ternoon, when half dozen officers
were gathered together in the ante
room, over which the dusk of the
cleaning was fast stealing. with only
the freight to dispel it. Bootles was
sitting half asleep in big chair, when
the sound of voice reused him from
his melancholy meditations.
..Yes, he's good fellow" the voice
said; ''but he's such a fool-such an
awful fool, you know"
They were at Lucy again, SO Bootles
cast his meditations to the winds and
flung himself into the fray.
$50 you always say-so everybody
says" he responded, coolly. so, by
likewise. But, all the same, it's simply a
mistake. Lucy is as clever as daylight
down at the bottom of all that put-on
drawling foolishness Of his. You fell
lows see no further than the expression
of intense stupidity which is Lucy's
habitual form. You seem to think
that because he can't or won't, use an
r. without q w in front of it that
he is not capable of seeing as far
through deal board as any other fell
low. But it's just the very greatest
mistake in the world. Old Lucy is
not such fool as he looks, by long
way"
s.You're quite right, Bootles; he
most decidedly is not. laughed an
other man from the depths of huge
sofa. Lucy is no fool-far from it;
but you'll admit that to be as. big
fool as he looks he would have to be a
big fool indeed. By-the-by, what was
that joke at the Deanery on Sunday
afternoon? You were close to him all
the time, and ! was pinned in the in
ner drawing-room.
Bootlcs began to laugh Immediately.
.'Well, you know that some of the
Bishops people were at the afternoon
service at the Cathedral, and went in
to the Deanery afterwardsPn
..Yes!" cried several voices
..As soon as Lucy put his nose inside
the room, he was promptly taken pos
session of by the eldest Miss Jones,
and as promptly tackled on the De-
ceased Wife's Sister Bill.
What do you think of the .Deceas-
ed Wife's Sister Bill, Mr.. Lucyp" Miss
Jones asked. with an engaging smile.
She's awfully like the Bishop, is Miss
Jones.

to think she would hook him on the

Lucy looked up. with his head on

monkey blessed with an extra quantity
of downright, stupidity and cunning
mingled, and she was q harder nut to
crack than had ever crossed his path

THE USE OF SUNFLOWEaS.

This plant is vigorous grower,
anil has been extolled as a proven
tive of malarial diseases. The seed
affords excellent food for hens and
also for horses. 1t is said that
there il no kind of feed that will
keep horses in health, give them IL
sleek appearance and make them
lively and spirited like the seed of
tho sunflower, feeding half a pint
night and morning. It is particu-
larly recommended for giving a
horse power of endurance, being
fed half pint night and morning
with other feed. The stalks and
heads, after the seed is worked
out, also make good material for
fires, and are especially convenient
in summer, when a quick fire is de
sired and an enduring heat is not
wanted. In their growth they make
4 snowy appearance about dwell
ings aud give an agreeable frag.
rance to the air. The late st direc.
ton in the line OF utilization of the
sunflower is the planting of q seed
in . place at the proper distances
SO that the stalks as they grow
will serv as bcan-poles. We have
seen them started in that way this
season, and as they grow the
leaves are removed. thus forming
an excellent stalk fer the bean
but what the effect will be. upon
them remains, to be seen. The
r00ts must tax the feeding capaci.

Despite the constant attention
which Is called to the valnc OF
sheep, not only as inprovers of che
soil, but as profitable farm animals
for wool and mutton, there are
many farmers who have never rails
ell or kept a single sheep.
1t is q severe calamity to any
agricultural country not to be the
producer of its own wool. All the
varieties of wool producible in the
world are equally pro'lucible in the
United States. Saxony or Silesia
can produce no finer.
We often read advice to farmers
to let their sons have calves, sheep,
etc, that they may get interested
in farming. But some farmers are
not able to give their sons much OF
a start, 40 some Of their sons
find employment i'll the city.
Giye one Of Your boys a small
plot of ground, buy Il few plants
for him, and subscribe. for a fruit
paper, and you will get him start
ell in a business in which he can do
as we'll on fifteen or twenty acres,
as in farming on u hundred.
Farmers Should; rrepere early for
their stock during the inclemen-
cies of next winter. 1t is very poor
policy to defer preparing suitable
shelter until winter comes, with
the thought that there will be more
time after the falls work is done,
! for before that time stock will have
suffered Il great deal from cold
storms and frosty nights. We
know that mankind are about as
susceptible to the tirst:cold days Of
