The Villagers Garden,

The mechanic or merchants clerk
who works in shop or store all day
can get great deal of real pleasure
from the care of few square rods or
even feet of ground about his tenement
home, provided he has taste for the
care of either vegetables, fruit, or flow
ers. One hour spent each morning or
evening in a little garden will accom-
plish more than one would believe
who has never tried it. When we find
a mechanic after work hours in his
own neatly kept garden planting seeds,
training a vine, pruning q tree or
shrub, or cutting up weeds, we feel
pretty sure that that man is kindly
and safe, and as citizen can betrust-
ed to do his share in all enterprises aim
ing at the safety or improvement of
the condition of society.
The cultivation of the earth with
ones own hands tends to make, or to
keep, man honest, for he sees exam
pies of honesty and justice in nature
constantly. If q man plants poor
seed ne expects nature will give him an
inferior crop In return. II he under
takes to cheat the soil by planting and
cropping without providing for return
ing the fertility taken away he soon
learns that nature will not be thus
cheated. If heis over-reaching and at
tempts to make two plants occupy the
space needed by one he finds both are
failure. Every plant must have its
needful proportion of air and sunlight,
or it makes a pale and sickly growth.
The keeper OF a garden is constantly
learning lessons which have an iufiu-
ence upon his character as a citizen
and q man.

A New Swindle,

A well-dressed, smooth-talkingyoung
man, giving his name as Prof. j. l..
Hendricks, has heen going around for
some weeks past, and it Is believed
that he has obtained several hundred
dollars by q very neat swindle. He
had with him lot of little tablets
looking like red lozenges. One placed
in q lamp was guaranteed to make g.
quart OF oil last twelve nights and rem
der it non explosive. Toprove this he
put lozenge into a lamp, set fire to
the wick and dropped it into the oil.
The lamp did not explode. He did not
say that it would not have exploded
in this experiment even if not provid-
ed with the tablet. The price OF the
tablets was 81 a box. They were
probably worth q cent. But the
tempting part of the business was that
the firm intended to spend 100000
in advertising this thing, and if the
customer would pick out piece of fur
niture, q chair, q sofa or a buffet from
the sample book exhibited, it would
be sent free of charge. The only stipu-
lation was that the party should
speak well of the tablet and recon-
mend it to the neighbors. If anybody
bought ten boxes of the lozenges full
set of bedroom furniture would be
sent free of charge. This bait took
and everybody paid 81 for the tablets
and picked out chair or something
to be sent on. OF course no furniture
ever came, and it is unnecessary to
say that the tablets are simply worth
less.-Orange County Farmer.

This Is the great limit upon numbers
IN chicken-rearing, and those few neo-
pie who are able to give fresh grass
runs TO their later broods, if they also
provide shade, have not much of the
difficulty spoken of. Again, if fresh
grass runs are waiting ready for chick
ems at a certain size, as Is ARRANGED in
large yards, the effect can be seen in a
week. Rigid cleanliness cannot behad

and to supply cut grass instead. Grass
runs do harm, not good, as soon as
that grass is generally polluted; and
this takes place far more, and morein-
sldlously and invisibly, with MANY
tiny chickens than from half q dozen
half-grown birds.-Prairie Farmer.

Do Not Delay eeding.

Those who intend sowing grass seed
this fall should not delay it much
longer if it is desired to obtain good
growth this eeason that will withstand
Interfering and thawing oflate fall and
early spring. II land is not very rich
we would prefer sowing grass seed IN
August; but in rich, mellow soil it will
make considerable growth sown the
last of September. Ii sown late we
would add from bushel to six pecks
of winter rye, which will make a
growth of top and root that will great
ly help the grass to withstand the
winter. The tops Of the rye will hold
the snow, and somewhat protect
against winds, while the roots will
bind the soil together so it will not
heave and crumble and leave the
grass plants on the surface with their
roots exposed to the killing winter
weather. The rye may be cut as early
in spring as it will pay for moving,
and may be fed to cattle with much
benefit. Then the grass will have the
full benefit of the soil, and should
make heavy crop to cut late in July
or early in August. 1t is gratifying to
see how widespread the practice is be-
coming of sowing rye for early feeding
in the spring. We notice it Is being
grown to some extent quite far South
in the cotton states, and at the West
the best dairy farmers SOW fields of it
every year.

Never mind, pet; tha yigilants wont do

But, nevertheless, Lora covered her eyes

knew their hours on earth were numbered.
Here comes your New York man, an
Jasper; they've secured their prisoners, an

No one who heard the tender intonation

that he would see her some tlme-that he
would make it point to see her.

Raising Tomatoes.

A large grower OF tomatoes has
found the following plan of raising
plants all that can be desired. He
rolls strips of resin paper into cylln-
ders, three inches in diameter and six
inches deep, locking the ends by driv-
ing two tacks through the paper and
clinching them on a piece of iron pipe
as an anvil or block. These bottom
less cups are arranged in the frame
and flied with the soil in which the
seed is planted. When the plants are
ready to set out they are large and
well rooted, and are transplanted with
the cylinder around them This is
slipped up so as TO project three
inches above the ground, and making
an obstacle over which cutworms will
not climb, and so the danger is evaded,
as well as all risk OF checking the
growth by transplanting. He has set
out plants already in blossom with
out any check by means OF this de-
vice

CHAPTER Xxx.
Ais WE'LL THAT ENDS WE'LL.


The long night passed away. To Lora it
seemed interminable. Sometimes she re-
solved to don her old Indian dress and ioin
the friends who were fighting for her; but
she had given her word to the detective to
remain IN safety, and she had to content
herself IN looking out toward the towering
mountain and the twinkling stars overhead.
As dawn was breaking over the eastern
ridge a crowd of men passed up the street.
She could not distinguish any of them,
and waited with beating heart for some in
telligence.
At last her eager ears heard a tap on her
door, with winged feet she flew and opened
it, and found only old Luke standing there
smiling before her.

A Cool-Headed Girl.

From the Louisville Courier J ournal.l
At the house of DR.. j. p. Barnum,
Saturday night, movable gas Jet fell
upon q bed and set it on fire. In q
crib four feet away slept an infant
boy. DIR. Barnum's daughter, 10
years of age, was alone in the house
and down stairs at the time, and fear
ing that something was wrong ran up
stairs. She found the bed mass OF
Goals, and parts of it burning fercely.
Instead of getting excited or sounding
an alarm, Miss Barnum set to work
and threw the burning parts OF the bed
out of a window, and then took a
blanket, wet it and smothered the re-
manning fire. By her great presence OF
mind and heroism the young lady not
only saved her little brothers life, but
nrevented a confagration.

Late Matched Chfeka

1t is frequently complained that late
Matched chicks do not thrive and ap.

early in the spring. Often when quite

that live do not seem to make a
satisfactory growth. The difficulty
has been very old one, but the main
cause OF it has long been known. The
want OF cool shade accounts for much
