what wal You rake?'

| hear Of n story from Connecticut,
says a writer in the New York Times,
which perhaps sounds naturally enough
up there, but which will be likely to
have some elements of amusement in
it for people who have never lived in
that part of the world. The town of
Hamden or Woodbridge is the scene.
and the story is of a custom that exists
there for providing newly-married
couples with wedding gifts" AS
soon as a young woman gets married
it is incumbent upon her not to stay at
home and receive calls from the neigh
bors, but to climb into wagon and 90
whirling up and down the road for as
many miles as her acquaintance may
extend or the powers of a Connecticut
horse hold out She stops at neighbor
Smiths house, drops out of the wagon,
and greets neighbor Smith helpmeet
in something after this style: well,
Mrs. Smith, have got married, as you
know; so | have come round to get my
gift What kind will YOU take?'
If the average man outside of Ham
den should hear young woman say
something Of this sort ne would be apt
(unless the young woman was pretty
TO imagine chat something was wrong
with her head. Not so What will
you take? is plain enough to neigh
Dor Smiths wife. All brides say the
same the thing. and it has got to be
an old story.
What viii you take? means what
kind of tea will you take. There are
merchants in New York who give pre-
miums TO country agents, and there is
one firm whose premium is in the
shape of household goods, dishes. etc.
Ii a young woman can get her acquain-
tanco to subscribe for 100 pounds of
tea she gets something pretty nice to
pay her for her trouble, and the tea
does not cost the purchaser any more
than if purchased of the country store
keepers. Thus Connecticut is able to
be generous without wasting cash.
wherefore is Connecticut happy.

1t a risky thing TO play tricks up
on newspapers and even upon newspa-
per reporters in Germany. A jovial
spirit recently gave Frankfort report
er q scrap of news which was false. 1t
was only done for joke. but when the
news appeared, and the reporters rep
utatiOn for trustwOTthinesS suffered in
consequence, the joker found ont that
he had made mistake. He was wait
ed upon by his innocent victim of the
press with a claim for 600 marks for
''damsge to reputation. The parties
have since so far reached common
standpoint that the author of the false
report offers to atone for his error by
forfeiting twelfth of the sum deman-
ded. memo me impune lacessit' is
the journalists motto everywhere.

A farmer in Kentucky asks me which
is the best soil for onions, horse-radish
and beans, and whether turnips can be
grown in the fall after the onions are
harvested. If the onions are cured and
removed from the land before the first
of August, good crop of strap-leaved
turnips could be grown. The best and
richest land of the farm will be none
too good for onions and horse-radish.
For both crops l prefer good, sandy
loan, rather than low, mucky land.
But good crops can be grown on a va
ricty of soils. And so with beans
They do well on land not too mucky
for corn or too heavy for wheat-a me

You need to keep the crop clean-that

A Nursery For Birds.

A notice posted in the window of an

''Are birds expensive bOarders?''
I'VE can make money by boarding

birds. which are choice in their food,
and the same sum for parrots. Say
we may have sixty regular bOarders

at 30 cents each, we have SIS per

Crops For soIIing.

The best crops for soiling are rye,
clover, or lucerne (also called ALFALFA.
oats and peas sown together, and corn;
the succession will be in about the order
here named. Rye, sown the preceding
fall will surely will be ready to cut by
the latter part of May, and if corn be
sown early in the same month it will
follow on after oats and grass, and if
sown thereafter of fortnight or so,
there will be a supply until frost.
Each subsequent sowing will require a
slight increase of seed. The quantity
of rye sown per acre should be about
two bushels, and the soil should be
rich. 1t is well to pillow land. on
which corn is to be sown, in the fall,
then harrow it about the middle of = pril
and prepare at once for sowing. If no
manure is ready for the corn and com
mercial fertilizers are used. sow about
800 pounds TO the acre, in the burrows.
Burrows should be marked out two and
a half cr three feet apart, or if the
double row system is followed, sow
two rows about six inches apart and
then leave space of two and a half
feet or more, for cultivation, between
the double rows. In one respect, at
least, corn is more valuable than any
other crop for soiliBg, As ii can be fed
in green state from midsummer UNI
til frost comes.
One advantage of the crop Of oats and
peas is, that it is of quick growth and
can be worked in between other
crops and got out of the,
way. and it viii leave the
land ready for turnips and fodder cora.
About three bushels of oats and two OF
peas to the acre, sown broadcast, are
proper This crop, raised for fodder
purposes, is not often enough grown
by our farmers to have its real value
appreciated.

A New York letter says it is possible
Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris may visit
her mother late in he summer She
has now proceeded to her Isle Of Wight
residence, and will soon make a visit to
the Continent. The only daughter of
the great chieftain of the American
army desired to pass last winter with
her mother to comfort her, but her hus-
bands father wrote such loving APP
peal to her to return for the winter
that Mrs Sartoris at once went back TO
England. There has been such an
amount Of gossip about Mrs Sartoris
and her husband that | feel authorized
to say tSat from the best sources
have heard there is no truth in the re-
port Of Mrs. Sartoris being anxious for
a divorce. Her husband is gay, ans
perhaps would not by an American
moralist be considered a model hus-
band; but after all the model husbands
are few IN this world. and If the wives
of all the husbands who are not models
were to seek and obtain divorces the
wives of the models would be Sc
numerically weak they would certainly

Two important modification are to
observed in modern fashions. The
first is the considerable dimil ution of
the tournure not that skirts are worn
entirely plain, but they are much less
pulled out, especially at the foot. The
tournure Is still marked at the waist
line, in order to curve it in and give it
more elegance. After this it falls quite
plain just supporting the dress. The
other modification is a much more
striking one; Intends to clear forehead s.
