Making Trouble In a Boarding House

II want TO give you quiet talking
to,n said the manager of a leading
boarding-hous to wealthy guest. Il
had to discharge good waiter to-day
on your account;
"What do you mean, sir?" asked the
gentleman, with some show of indigna-
ton.
You have spoiled three good walters
for me already" replied the manager,
firmly and respectfully. "You gave the
man I've just sent away s. month.
Now, sir, that was either intended
as generous gift or meant as a
bribe to the man to give you more
food and better service than you pay for.
No matter what the motive, the effect
was the same. / am always in the
kitchen at meal times, and see to it that
every guest has what he is entitled to
and no more; so you got no advantage
In that way, but you did receive a good
deal more attention than YOU were enti-
tied to. Mr.. Jones, who sits at your
table, pays me just as much rs you
do, and is Just as good a customer to me.
But he cannot afford to pay waiter S5
a month as you do, and the consequence
is the man neglects him TO fuss with
you. If he could afford to pay as much
fees as yourself neither of you would
get any advantage, but he cannot, and
himself and family have been so neglect
ed that 1 expect they will leave the
house, and all your generosity does is to
deprive me of a good customer"
ssI never looked at in that light be-
fore,' said the wealthy guest, ''and l
guess hereafter III get along without
subsidizing the waiter, or content my
self with present that is not ex-
pecIed.n

FARM NOTES.

How TO Dock LAMBS.@The fnhu~
man. savage and destructive manner in
which lambs are often docked, by catch
inghold of the lambs tail with one hand
and slashing it off with knife In the
other, while the little innocent Is strug-
Cling with all of its strength to get
away, thus tearing the bone OF the tall
half or three-fourths OF an inch longer
than the skin, exposed to the flies and
scorching sun for weeks to heal over, II
it ever does heal. many Of them dying
from the work Of maggots-this Gus
tom, we say. induces us to give mode
far more humane and safe. The oper-
alton requires two persons. One sitting
ON a bench should hold the lamb on It's
back between his knees, the lambs
head toward the persons body. TAKE
hold OF the lambs tall with q thumb
and finger of both hands inches from
its body, draw the skin of the tail as
close to the lambs body as possible.
The other person with sharp pair OF
toe or pruning shears cuts off the tail
close to the holders fingers. This Will
leave the bone of the tall three-quarters
Of an inch shorter than the skin. Then
with little paddle dipped in some pure
tar stick the skin above and below the
bone together by the tar sticking in the
wool. The skin being brought together
over the bone soon heals and as 1t
grows. improves the appearance of the
sheep by growing fat. The tar holds
the skin together while healing, and is
perfect safeguard against flies. An
other way, but not so good, Is to hold
the lamb on block as above described
and cut the tail off by striking on a
chisel with a mallet and tar as above
described.

Thousands OF people all over this
country will hear with keen regret OF
the death of DR.. Dio Lewis. For many
years he has been the inspiration OF
good health to thousands and has MIN
Istered comfort to those who would
very sadly have missed his cheering
words. DR.. Lewis was one OF the most
genial ald inspiring of men. He did not
believe very much in taking medicine,
making hygiene a great hobby and in
sisting that If person would live right
there would be little necessity Of medi-
cine; and yet in 1888. his candor above
all things else being noticeable, he
said, "If found myself afflicted with
a serious kidney disorder 1 would use
Warmers safe cure" Adding. "The
truth Is the medical profession stands
dazed and helpless in the presence Of
more than one kidney malady, while
the testimonials of hundreds of intelli-
gent and very reputable gentlemen,
hardly leave room to doubt that the
proprietors of that remedy have fallen
upon one of those happy discoveries
which occasionally bring help to suffer
ing humanity. l am not SO narrow
hhat cannot gratefully recognize the
precious value of relief in the form of
medicine" DR.. Lewis met with an
accident which injured him so that cry
sipelas set in and carried him off. His
testimonial, coming as it did from a
free. frank and open heart, is 4 very
important confirmation Of what so
many thousands have said of the REM
edy he so highly commended.

THE CELERY CROP. If the celery
crop is not already set out. it should be
done without days delay. In fact,
it should be in the ground by the end
Of the second week in July. Plants
that are set out near the end of July
seldom make such stalks as one would
like to preserve FOR winter. Some gar
deuers set their plants nearly on plane
with the surface Of the ground; while
others dig trench from six to eight
inches in depth, mixing the loosened
bottom earth thickly with weil-rotted
manure; water well and set the plants
in single rows firmly about six inches
apart. We prefer the latter plan. The
plants, If not set between the rows of
corn, should be protected from the sun
for the 6rst two or three weeks with
boards, between the hours of ten and
four. They should be watered every
morning and evening until the plants
are well established, then with man.
ure water until the filling-in Of earth Is
about half completed. One thing must
be particularly remembered, that the
ground cannot be too rich, nor can the
crop be toomuch manipulated, being al
ways careful not to obstruct the leader
of each plant. This should be espe-
cially attended to when the time has
come to draw up the earth to the plants
preparatory to the blanching operation
progressing.

THE destruction by eutworms every
season is very large, in some fields the
young tomatoes, sweet potatoes and
corn being cat down as fast as they ap-
pear abc5e ground. The damage would
not be so great but for the fact that
they work so late IN the season as to
sometimes render it impossible to re-
plant in time to admit of the maturing
of the intended crop. The cutworm
works on cool nights, but dislikes ex-
treme cold or heat. 1t is more destruc-
tive on old sod ground, or such as has
not been plowed the previous year,
than on well-cultivated fields 1t is the
larva of various species of night-fying
moths, and the eggs are laid on the
leaves and stems of plants near the
ground, either in spring or fall. After
being Matched the young grub descends
into the ground and comes to the sur
face to feed at night. When fully
grown the worm is about an inch IN
length, and after eating all it desires il
goes deeper in the ground preparatory to
undergoing change.

HOUSEHOLD.

KEEPING WATER COoL.-Chaplain
Nave writes. 81 have learned from
the Mexicans very simple but useful
device for keeping water cool when far
from ice or well. They manufacture a
porous earthern jar capable of holding
three or four gallons of water, which
they fill and hang in the shade and
draft Of air when practicable. The jar
constantly sweats, and the evaporation
going on on the outside, keeps the wa
ter at much lower temperature than
it would otherwise be. The military
resort to the same device, Where no
porous jar can be obtained, another YES
sci wrapped in few thicknesses Of
gunny-sack, or other cloth, answers
equally well, IL kept wet. II the far
mer would wrap the Jug Of water he
carries to the field In the same manner,
and hang 1t up to the limb of tree, he
would find its contents much more re-
freshing than if set in the corner of
the fence, after the common fashion"

HAY is necessarily bulky in proper

possible to ship it for considerable dis

for baled hay coming from points where
land is cheap hay would be dearer than
grain IN all our large cities. 1t is so in
