FRENCH CHILDREN.
How the Genuine Inspiration of Theii
 Character Shows Itself


 French children, if not better than American children, are certainly less aggressive. They are not often seen to quarrel among themselves-they are docile and tractable, comprehend and apply the common forms of politeness, are kind and affectionate to their par ents and respectful to their elders. This is relatively true of the children of all classes, whether of the rich or poor, whether in the city or country. Even the Paris gamin, who is considered the type of all that is bad in French child hood and youth, rarely insults a stranger. He may be rude, noisy and indirectly troublesome, but he seldom, unless provoked, becomes meanly az gressive. A foreigner may go into any part of Paris, or into any city or village of the departments, and no matter how peculiar his appearance, though he may be curiously looked at by the younger portion of the population, should he be hooted or sneered at, it would be the most extraordinary exception. When you enter French family, the younger members come to greet you with the rest. When ycI leave they are present to bid you kind adieu. Little ones in France do not talk too much at the table. In the family circle they are content to remain in the back ground. The politeness which seems artificial as they get older is.with them graceful and natural, the genuine inspiration of an amiable character. Although there are family quarrels and disowned sons, especially among those who have fallen victims to the fascinations of Paris, the mutual affec- tion of the members of family for one another is one of the most charming features of French domestic life. The French may not affiliate easily with foreigners, whose language and man. ners they have taken little pains to un- derstand, but among themselves, and especially in the most intimate rela- tions of life, they display as nation virtues worthy of universal imitation.- PdriS Cor.

Pricking the Bubble Vanity.
TThe Ouiyer.


 Once Dr. Morrison, noted in literature was travelling with friend. In the same railway carriage was lady, a stranger to both. When the lady heard her fellow. traveller spoken of as Dr. Morrison, she pricked up her ears. Addressing him presently, she said: "May I ask, sir whether your name is Dr. Morrison?" "It is," said the gentleman. "Oh, sir, I am SC glad to meet you. have known of you SC long. And are you really that great Dr. Morrison?" The question was little pug. zling, but not to be hastily dismissed. The gentleman was making some metaphysical distinctions on the meaning of the word ''great," when the lady, impatient of hi: modesty, interrupted him-"It is because have derived so much benefit from you pills."

FANCY NECK-WEAR.
Exquisite Tints and Lovely Effects
 Fashionable Neck-Dressings.

Exquisite Tints and Lovely Effects ol
 Fashionable Neck-Dressings.
 The daintiest of laces, ribbons and delicately-embroidered fabrics will be brought into requisition for fashionable neck-dressings the coming season. A large portion of the summers invoice of novelties in dress goods invite the use of simple, beautiful and inexpensive fabrics, but there appears to be no dim mutton in the demand for elegant ac- cessories with which to adorn these ma terials. Exquisite tints and very lovely and artistic effects characterize the gen eral display of summer goods, but with these are also brought out tempting array of garnitures, which of them selves transform the simplest gown into one most charming in effect. Among these are embroidered faces. but wrought upon diaphanous crepe lisse or India silk gauge, as upon net or tulle. The work is executed in silk with seed and round mother O. pearl beads introduced. These laces come in all fashionable colors and in black and white. Other importaticns in lingerie show graceful Spanish and Russian short jackets of founce lace made up over surah, the edges of the jacket formed of the well-defined scal- lops of the lace, these opening over plaited or shirred vests of the silk. There are also shown cream-colored sets of Irish point lace, which include gilet cuffs and deep Charles TX. col lars, ready for use at moments no- tice, and always dressy and becoming. Also marine collars with scarf ends attached, in beaded nets and in all the fancy white and cream laces, to say nothing of legions of beautiful devices in lace, from the stately Medici fraise to the simple ruche and frills of etamine uet.-N. r.

TRUE FRIENDS.
Extracts From F. W. Hinrich's Lecture o6
 the Companionship in Books.


 There is an especial value and pleas ure, said the lecturer, in the compan- ions whom we find upon our book selves. They come when we want them; they never stay too long; they never tell old stories, are never dull or tiresome, and never bore us with untime- ly visits or irksome companionship. Where could we find a more noble company than the worthies of ancient and modern literature? They come in solitude, but they never rob us of its sweets They are friends who never come without solicitation. Not only must we invite book, but we must in- vite it in a friendly way if we would have true friend in it. Reading, says Bacon, makes full man. Some books are to be tasted, some to be swallowed, and some to be digested. The latter must be taken deliberately and assimi- lated thoroughly if we would receive the full benefit of them.
 Speaking of novels, the lecturer said, he enjoyed them when they were good. In the English school of fiction was to be found a great deal more than the mere story. From the time of the earliest romance of chivalric days down to the last piece of realistic fiction the English novel was picture of the times in which it was written and the state of society in the age in which the characters moved. From the old TO- mances were obtained glimpses of the days of chivalry. Smollett and Field ing told of the state of English society in the eighteenth cen- tury, and so on down to the present day. In the pages of Scott were DOT trayed the pomp of the tourney the flashing of the lances, the waving of banners and the clash of mail-clad war riors in the lists The battlements of Wentworth rose before the reader as he caught glimpses of Scottish life hun- dred years ago. Plutarch showed to the delighted vision the great leaders of ancient times. Lessing critic and ramatist-brought a feast of good things. With Goethe one looked upon the wild revels of Walpurgis night, when men battled with the forces of evil. Schiller brought Queen Mary and her pitiless enemy, Elizabeth of En- gland, before his readers. What throng gathered around Dickens, and how gently Irving led through many pleas ant and delightful paths.
 In Shakespeare the reader found an old friend, whose companionship never grew wearisome, so infinite was his variety. Persons wondered how Byron, with so beautiful a face, could be so wicked at times The lecturer drew word picture of his library, noting the busts of great men that adorned the walls, and quoting of their works. The charm of such companionship, he said. was lasting; it exceeded the chat of the clubs, the gossip of the sociable or the discursive talk of the chance acquaint- ance. The old friends of the book shelves, MT. Hinrichs declared, were the most satisfactory friendships of one's life time.-Brookty'e Eagle.

A Few Words Regarding the Productive
 Capacity of the Soil.

A Few Words Regarding the Productive
 Capacity of the Soil.
 Before estimating upon the prospect i've yield of a location some considera- ton must be given that which the crops will take from the soil and the amount of fertilizing material necessary for se- curing the results desired. There are sections in which two, and even three, crops may be grown in one year upon the same soil, nor is it difficult matter to grow two crops in nearly all DOT tions of the United States, provided the soil is rendered capable of withstanding the double taxation upon it. We often hear of the exhaustion of the soil. Such a term should become obsolete. True scientific agriculture does not admit of soil exhaustion. Progress is the order of the day, and he who undertakes farming without determining to have each succeeding year witness his soil in crease in fertility, no matter what kind of crops are grown, will have some- thing to learn in regard to his calling. In the use of piece of land we have the advantage of the material upon which to operate. If we take from it we must add to it. It is only the agent for our use, and can only be expected to produce by changing the complexion and character of the substances given it for the purposes deslred. Hence, we may grow an early crop of some quick ly maturing plants, to be followed by those that may be planted later in the season. And by good cultivation and the systematic use of fertilizing food, there is no limit known as yet regard. ing the productive capacity of the soil. Farm, FteId and Stocknldn

THEY ALWAYS BITE.

How a Good-Looking Gentleman Supports
 Himself and Friends.
 Agood-looking, well-behaved stranger had been stopping in country town in this State for three or four days, when one day, as dozen men were hanging around the hotel doors, humble youth with white eyebrows and lowered head passed along, leading calf. Both travelled as if it were an everyday thing, but no one thought of this until afterward.
 'tBoy!" called the stranger from the hotel steps, ''what do you ask for that calf?''
 Wont sell him."
 "How much does he weigh?'
 Nigh upon one hundred and sixty pounds.
 ''It can't be. Gentlemen, I'd like to wager that 1 can come nearer that calf's s weight than any of you."
 A dozen citizens got up and walked around the calf and squinted their eyes and mentally estimated. Then a sort of pool was formed to scoop the stranger, and S25 was contributed. There were eleven guesses to his one, and they ranged from 147 to 15Spounds. He guessed 15S 1-2, and when the ami nal was placed on the scales the stranger was only two ounces short. As he raked in the pot and the boy and the calf passed on a man drove up in a buggy and called out:
 ''This 'ere game has been played all over the county, and it's time to move on somebody! Where's the villian?"
 ''Here am," answered the stranger.
 '1 arrest you! Get into the buggy"
 His sachel was ready and he got in, and it was whole day before the vil- lagerS found out that the man with the buggy was confederate, employed to do that very thing. Detroit Free Press.

 The craving for salt in animals is natural, and not result of the care of man. When this country was wild every salt spring was frequented by deer, a fact that was taken advantage of by the hunters for their capture. Near the ocean less salt is required than further inland, owing to the fact that the atmosphere is in a degree charged with salt, and this is imparted to the growing crops through the dews and rain.-Prairte Farmer.
 Mrs. l.. Harrison, in the Indtan Farmer, states that honey made from apple blossoms is dark, but fine favored; that from the raspberry is light, but of delicate flavor White clover honey, light, with the comb delicate; that from the linden or basswood is light brown and rich in vegetable oil; golden rod produces thick, golden-colored honey. Each source apparently gives the honey obtained from it some particular char. acteristic.

The Grim Humor of Red Jacket, the Ora
 tor of the Senecas.
 Sedate as is the Indians ordinary de- meanor, he sometimes has a sense of humor which is not unlike that of the Scotch in its grimness. Red Jacket, the famous orator of the Senecas, had this grim humor, which he expressed in pithy, brief sentences. Speaking once of an Indian chef, weak, easy-going man, whose gluttonous habits had se- cured for him the name of Hot Bread, the orator said: Big man here, lay ing his left hand on his stomach, but very small man here," bringing his right hand to his forehead.
 An Indian, being on trial for stealing a few silver spoons, Red Jacket ap- peared before the white mans court to beg the surrender to the Indians, who would try him by their laws. The court refused the request, tried the Indian, and, on his conviction of burglary, pun ished him by a sentence which Red Jacket thought unnecessarily severe. After the adjournment, the orator, standing amid group of lawyers, ex- pressed his dissatisfaction with the white man justice Looking at sign on . printing office, where on were painted the figures of Liberty and Justice, he asked. pointing to one:
 "What him call?"
 'Liberty," answered lawyer.
 'Ugh! What him callP'' pointing to the other.

 "Where him live now?' asked the chief, with sarcastic curl of the lips. - YotLth'S CompGpatOn.

ABOUT FERTILIZERS.

The Advantage of Growing Root Crops iI
 Rotation After Wheat.
 In order to know what fertilizing ma- terials to use for crops on our soils, we must know what ingredients of plant food are deficient, and what manures will best supply them. If any of the es- sential ingredients of plant-food be lacking, the crop will fail, and if in linn tied quantity the crop will correspond in amount. AD idea of the essential in- gredients of plant food removed from the soil in cropping may be obtained from the following table:
