The G. W. Childs Rose.

Mr.. George w. ,Childs has a high
estimate of woman's ability as an edi-
torial writer, and declares that two Of
the best writer's on, the Philadelphia
Ledger are women. He adds that
when women do the same work as men
they should have the same pay, and I
carry out this rule in my own bust
ness" At the recent convention of
florists 1t Mr.. Child's country-seat
hear Philadelphia, one of the speakers
suggested that they undertake to grow
Il rose more fragrant and beautiful than
any already in existence and that they
christen it the George W. Childs rose
In view of Mr.. Child's doctrine con-
corning the capacity and deserts of
women, which is now made, public in
this journal, it is safe to predict that
the florists of America viii be second
ed by their wives in creating and
christening George W.: ChiIds rose.

Too Hot For Snakes.

Midddleburgh (Pa) Post: MI. Wills.
Weller residing about two miles south
of Mildleburgh, at the foot OF Shade
Mountain, while engaged in clearing a
piece Of new ground on his farm on
Thursday of last week, was terribly
ANNOYED by the number of black snakes
on the patch. Some he killed bit a
great many escaped his "brush fork.'
and nearly all ran in the direction Of a
large pile in the corner of
the patch and close to a bank
over a spring which was covered by a
thick growth of underbrush. He con-
cluded to investigate matters a little
and il did not take him long to satisfy
himself that he had struck a colony of
the reptiles which had taken harbor
under the pile of dry brush.
He noticed a particularly large one
basking in the sun a few yards from
the place, and he proceeded to get a
rail from the fence with which to des-
patch it. but in doing so he broke n
of the stakes on the fence. The noise
caused by the breaking of the stake
evidently aroused the sleeping reptiles,
aud he witnessed a perfect volley of
snakes darling from under the thick
underbrnsh into tho brush pile. He.
stood riveted to the spot with astonish-
ment, and looking up saw no less than.
twenty snakes of all sizes sticking their
heads out of the brush pile. Remem-
bering that he had used a bundle of
long straw for a seat on his ''stone
boat" he FASTENED to get it. and. set
ting it on fire, cast it over the brush.
In an instant the whole pile was n
blaze. and he then witnessed a scene
which be says. no would ever care
to behold again. The heat was SO in:
tense that none of the reptiles could
possibly escape, and they rolled out of
it black, blinded, and scorched, biting
at everything they touched. and in most.
instances died with their fang fastened.

spot. when he ventured to look into the

Old-FashiOned Folks.

II was readin' in de paper yester-

meeting opened after the usual style.
Il was a readin' a lament bekase de
ole-fashn'd man and woman had died
off, an would be seen no mo- on airth
foreber. lie glad on it. De ole-fash-
uned man scraped off the measure
when he sold wheat; he believed that
any sort Of food and any sort of bed
was good huff for his chill en-; be took
de biggest piece of pie at de table; he
ate mo- like a hog dan a human bein';
if he had sympathy it was fur his cat
tie instead of his family. De OLE
fashun'd man was a regular attendant
at prayer meetin', but he worked his
hired help twenty hours out of twenty
four, just de anne. He'd drive five
miles to church on Sunday to show his
religun, but doorin' the odder SIX days
of de week he was a bad man to trade
bosses wild. 1t took his wife six
months to git up de courage to ak him
for a new kaliker dress, an NOS of his
chill'en growed up an went away from
home widout a reckoleckshun of a
dozen kind words.
"De ole-fashun'd man had two re-
cipes fur his fellow-ben's. De fust was
hard work; de mex was boneset tea.
He had but two ideahs in regard to
boys. De fust was lots O. work an
lectle schoolin'; dc next was lots O.
lickin's an no holidays. He had but
two ideahs in regard to bizness. De
fust was git all ye kin; de next was
keep all ye git. He argued dat a liar
could neber enter de kingdom of heab-
en-, but would 90 out an lick a sick OK
to death widout any fear about his
hereafter. He prayed loudly dat de
La d would increase his crops. but he
kept his hired hards down to de lowest
possible tigger. He made great show
of submittin' to de will of Providence,
but if 500 pounds of hay got wet in a
rain storm some of de chill'en come in
fur a lickin' befo' night.
''De ole-fashun'd man an woman
hev departed, an de world hasn't lost
a cent by it. It was a good depart.

to be, I feel dat 1 kin walk into de aiv-

The New England Farmer advises that dairy

away from all foul odors, for salt will absorb
impurities from bad air, and afterwards 'impart it

losses have occurred from ignorance of this
fact.
