Under this scathing rebuke Uncle
Joel retreated to the pantry and con-
tinued his search.
/" What in the world are you sput-
term round that buttry for?n his
wife called, as the clatter of pans and
dishes first drew her attention to
Uncle Joel's trespass upon forbidden
ground.
'.Why, I'm lookin' for them eggs,
Hannah. Ye told me to set the old
speckled hen, didn't ye? an I can't
find the eggs nowhere.
''Mercy on us! And you've been all
this time about it? | thought you'd

Hannah started hurriedly for the psE-
try, when an exclamation of 20 Mis-
Potter, do seem recalled her.
And what a sight! There. in the
feathery depths of the chair cushion.
was the old felt hat crushed as fiat as a
pancake, and all that remained of the
dozen eggs was a mass of broken
shells, whites and yelks mixed in a
manner not common in cake-making.
her dress was plentlfuliy plastered
with the mixture, and every movement
sent drippings of it down to the floor.
In her eagerness to hear her neigh
boris story she had sat down without
looking behind her, and the soft depths
of the cushions had given no warning of
the mischief.she was doing.

say, as she stood looking upon the hor-

years of married life Aunt Hannah had
no retort ready; and the old speckled

Keep the Vines is Row.

Every season when the young vines
aud small fruits encroach on the spaces
between the rows keep them Back.
Never allow trawberry- bed to be
matted, as no one can succeed in pro-
ducing the finest fruit unless there is
ample room around each plant for cul-
tivation. Such plants as raspberries
and blackberries soon become thick
mass unless the rows are kept open.
There is nothing to gain by allowing
the young plants to grow. If new
plants are desired let them be grown
in separate location, but where q crop
is being cultivated the cleaner the bed
or rows the larger the yield at harvest
time. Nothing appears more insight
" than to witness the promiscuous
growth of young plants in the spaces

In recent lecture on potato cult
ure at Beverly, Mass, Mr.. Hersey
said that poor soil required larger seed
than would answer for rich soil, and
that small-slzed seed planted continu-
ously for a series of years does not
run out" the variety nor diminish the
yield.
Care in the details is the secret of
all nice cooking, and the reason of SO
much that is poor and monotonous
in our mode Of living is the want of
just this care. Education and intelli-
gence are as valuable in cooks as in
any walk of life, and even more, for
the health and comfort of present and
future generations depend upon them.

The Georgia Department of Agri-
culture warns purchasers of fertilizers
against any compounds in which pre-
pared leather scrap enters into the
composition. The leather contains
nitrogen in considerable quantity, but
no practicable method has yet been
discovered by which it may be made
available to the crop. The use of pre-
pared leather, therefore, the circular
says, is properly considered fraud on
the consumer.

A YEAR AGO.

"A year ago held in mine her hand,
And felt the pulses quicken and dissolve,
While DER her face light from Heavens own
Seemed all the mystery Of death to solve.
She raised her weary eyes to mine and
sighed
Sighed as flower Ger which storm-clouds
When long the promised sunshine is denied,
And cold aud heavy rains from Heaven de-
scend.
She tried to speak. knelt beside her bed,
That one last wish she might to me inpart.
Awhisper came, and then the spirit fed
Like some sweet thought long prisoned in

About her Shroud, and with the collins lace,
For she had loved them; all the long long

To memory garden. Under memory's tree
Ohe pulls the silver mask from many flower,
And sends its tender secret unto me.
She guides my pen along uncertain heights.

The candle of success she often lights
When the flame tfckers and the wick buT~s

The Latest French Acquisition.

been formally ceded to France, will
strengthen her hold in Madagascar
waters, as they lie between the great
island and Africa, in Mozambique cham

number, and contain perhaps seventy
thousand people, with some manufact-
ures, and very considerable cultiYa-
ton of sugar, now an export. French
influence has long been dominant in
the group. the island of Mayotta hav-
ing been ceded to France more than
forty years ago, under an agreement
reaffirmed in 1S45. Johanna, on the
island of the same name, where the
new treaty has just been signed, has
long been a port of call, at which ships
obtain provisions; and to some extent
the other two islands-Angaziya or
Great Comore and Mohilla have also
furnished supplies. The soil is fertile,
though the islands are mountainous,

HOSTESS.

f. A. Schaefer. Esquire, and Mrs.
Schaefcr, entertained, at their resi-
dencc on Nuuanu Valley, yesterday

hospitable board of the varied and
light delectables, was such as to
cause glow in the hearts of parents.

assiduous in their attentions to the
Juveniles wants. The Royal Ha-
waiian Band was, by the courtesy of
Governor Iaukea, placed at the dis
posal of the host, and played during
the afternoon, light and melodies
airs suitable to the occasion, thereby
adding greatly to the enjoyment of

and rejection so thoughtfully pro-
