RACHEL'S CUPiDiTY.

Valuable Gifts.

How the Great Jewish Actress Solicited
Valuable Gifts.
Rachel, the famous tragedienne, was
as avaricious as she was gifted On
one occasion she was invited to dine at
the house of a wealthy Partisan who
worshipped her genius. Observing d
magnificent boqnet of flowers that
adorned the center of the table she ex-
claimed: "How lovelyr'
Pardon, mademoiselle, said her
host with true French gallantry, ''per-
mettez moi de Uoats presenter ceEa," at
the same time lifting the flowers out of
the massive silver vase in which they
rested.
.sBut, monsieur" said Rachel, '"twas
the vase that / admired"
"Partaitn1eat, c'est q Gous dussi,
(this is yours also)" said the ever-polite
host.
When the repast was finished she
asked her friend to send her home in
his own carriage, as she was afraid
some one might rob her of her silver
vase if she returned in public cab.
He assented readily, but as he handed
her into the vehicle he said implorin civ:
GU will at least return my carriage,
will you not, mademoiselle?s
1t may be presumed that the coach
came back.-TeGas Sitttngs.

WATCH The COLONIES.
Serious Mistakes in Bookkeeping Whicl
Can Easily be Avoided.

Can Easily be Avoided.
Bees quickly detect individuals who
are strangers, being, no doubt, guided
by scent and they also have a repug-
nance to articles that have been painted,
creased, Or in any manner rendered OF
disagreeable odor. The new hives,
therefore, should be as clean as possible,
and free from any faint of impurity.
They should not be painted, nor should
any thing be placed in them but small
quantity of sugar or pure syrup. The
bees will carefully clean the hives after
they take possession, and will keep
them in good condition. 1t is very easy
to make mistakes in Bookkeeping, and
they should be avoided as much as
possible. Do not waste the comb. Il
the combs are gradually returned to the
hives the bees will give them thorough
cleaning and utilize them, thereby saw
ing a vast amount of labor that would
otherwise be devoted to the production
of honey, and extra combs should al
ways be on hand for the use of new
swarms. If colony leaves the hive
late in the season, when the harvest Oh
honey is nearly over, the bees will have
an arduous task to perform, if they are
compelled to make both comb and
honey. All hives should be covered in
order to protect them from the rays OF
the sun and from dampness. One OF
the essentials in Bookkeeping is a dry
hive. Dampness is more injurious than
cold and the mistake of not properly
protecting the hive may entail loss.
Keep watch over the colonies, and
avoid the mistake of being compelled
to make or procure a hive just about
the time the swarming is to occur.
Have every thing in readiness, so as to
locate the new colony as soon as pos
sible.-Farna, Field and Stoc6m0aa.

PUMPKIN SEEDS.
The Peculiar Properties of the Seeds and
their Value as @ Food.

The Peculiar Properties of the Seeds and
their Value Food.
One effect of pumpkin seeds is their
action upon the kidneys. They are
given as a diuretic medicine, as stated
by Wood s. Bache in aheir Dispensatory.
and also used to expel tape-worm.
Those who have watched their effect
upon mich cows, believe that this ac-
ton upon the kidneys reduces their
yield of milk. And this is certainly the
natural effect that extra action of the
kidneys must have upon the secretion
of milk. Strong action like this must
also unfavorably affect fattening animals
hogs or cattle. Pumpelly, in his work
"Across America and ASIA" says the
Chinese eat pumpkin seeds between the
courses at dinner. This may be as an
appetizer or digester.
These seeds are rich in nitrogen and
oil. They are certainly very nutritious,
and cattle and hogs are often eager to
eat them. Some feeders of swine have
been very successful in feed ng pump
kins as large part of the ration in fat
tening them. Experience seems to have
been contradictory on this matter, but
the explanation is simply this: The
seeds in small quantity are not delete
rious to animals in good health, but
when it happens in breaking or cutting
up pumpkins that the seeds get separar-
ed from the body of the pumpkin, and
these accumulated seeds are thrown to
the animals in mass, and an extra
quantity is eaten by a few, it produces
bad effect.
1t is to be presumed that if hogs or
young cattle eat only the common pro-
portion of seeds-that is, if it eats a
pumpkin and the seeds that belong to
it, no harm will be done, unless the pig
or steer is in an unhealthy condition.
But as the seeds are SO liable to get
separated from the body of the pump
kin, it is safer to separate them, and il
fed, give them in very small quantity.
1t is the seeds alone that act deleteri-
ously upon the kidneys.
The pumpkin is a profitable crop to
raise for feeding all the animals on the
farm. Two to three tons per acre may
be raised with very little labor in the
corn field, and the food value per ton is
greater than the best corn fodder. But
it is not advisable to feed the seeds to
mich cows-the danger is greater than
the advantage. -Prof. SteOart, IN Couaa.

But there is a time for every thing. Do
not let the bloom and freshness of
your heart be brushed off in silly flirta-

And, above all, tell your mother
every thing. Fun in your dictionary
would be indiscretion in hers. 1t would
do no harm to look and see. Never be
ashamed to tell her, who should be your

Finger Nails.

From the Toronto Globe.
"Few people understand how to cut their
nails" said the young lady manicure. ga
knife or scissors should never be used. |
trim and shape the nail with small file
and then carefully smooth down and bevel
the roughened edges with emery board,
which keeps them from breaking and trains
them to symmetrical growth. Another
important point where people neglect their
nails is in allowing the skin to grow out on
the base of the nail. This should be care
fully pushed back with blunt instrument
at least once week l soak the hands
of my customers in tepid water few min
utes before do this, SO as to soften the
cuticle. This is necessary, as otherwise it
is liable to break. It requires great care,
as the base of the nail, which is very SEN
sitive, may be bruised, or the delicate
edges of the skin broken. Another place
where care is needed is at the sides of the
nail, where it leaves the fingers. Lack of
attention to this either hardens the end of
the finger or produces the untidy and pain
full hang-nails, which disfgure SO many
hands. In filing the nails the file should
always be drawn from the finger and toward
the end of the nail"
"What are the hardest things to over
come in operating on hands that have been
neglected"
fThere are several things. Mothers
sometimes make practice of cutting their
childrens nails almost square with pair
of scissors. That hardens the end of the
finger and produces misshapen nail. 1t
can be overcome, however, in time. By
filing the nail from the sides it can be
narrowed by degrees to. that flbert shape
which is considered the height of beauty.
The finger will still be blunt, but even
that will be remedied to some extent.
Then we have the people who bite their
finger nails off close. These are hard Gus
toners to deal with. The nail is deformed
and brittle, and care has to be taken in
dealing with it. Manicures use prepara-
ton to stop the biting and then correct the
other defects by degrees.
eDo you know that there are several
diseases Of the finger nails?" she continued.
aWell, there are. One IS call onachia par
asitica, which is much to be dreaded. 1t
acts upon the nails by thickening and dry
ing them. They lose their polish and
grow rough and brittle. With powerful
glass the little parasites which cause the
trouble can be seen growing in among the
component parts of the nail. The nail has
dirty brown color, streaked with lines of
darker color, and the nail is raised up
and thickened. The disease is rare, and
can only be treated by skilful physician.
"The white specks on the nail, which
we were told as children indicated gifts,
are really nail disease, resulting, | think,
from slight diseases. Hang-nails are where
the nail adheres to the cuticle, and proves
more than anything else the use of the
manicures art. Hypertrophy often afiiicts
the nails, causing an excessive growth, and
dull, yellowish color, and often produces
severe pain from ingrowing nails and other
Irritation. This can be remedied by a
skilled manicure, but cannot be cured.
