It was q garden Of delights, full OF SUR
prises; ever new, ever charming.
And such garden is to the house
hold more than q mere purveyor OF
food. 1t feeds our love Of beauty by
its fair young flowers, its tendergreens,
its reproductions and renewals. Here
in the spring we see how Earth's slow
pulse thrills under sun and rain and
." Every clod feels a stir OF might
And climbs to a soulin grass and flowers" !"
Here we find the aesthetics of horti-
culture, for here, the busy woman, her
thoughts intent upon what Owen Meri-
dith calls
"Hour OF all hours, most blessed upon
earth,
Blessed hour OF our dinner"
yet pauses among it's beauty and fra
GRANGE to rest moment, and teast
her eyes; and goes back to her kitchen
strengthened by the reviving influence
OF nature. Into this ideal garden the
observant man takes his microscope
and prizes into natures secrets as un-
der the magic glass he counts the pet
ais of close folded blossom buds, dis
Germs grape clusters within the warm,
resinors, eider-down blanket tucked
about them, and even counts the
grapes upon the cluster. After all, in
spite OF all they tell us of it's multiply
ing insects, its laborious culture, its
demands on time and muscle, we feel
that its continuity is it's charm. that
the old. fashioned garden is the garden
of our dreams, and that the relation
of the household to such garden is
that of pleasure and profit.

Gossip and Ministers.

lam glad that the Helping Hand
has taken up the subject OF harmful
e cssip. At our church in an Ohio
town of 1000 inhabitants we are con-
stantly changing our ministers because
their influence is destroyed by gossip
ing members of the church. have
been in a good many towns in differ
ent parts of the country but have fail
ed to find the parish yet where the
congregation is perfectly satisfied with
it's minister. In our own church we
know We have never been perfectly sat-
isfed weknowthat other churches have
the same trouble. Think, then, we
should try to make the best of what
we have instead OF increasing the
trouble by detailing to our neighbors
the little things wherein the minister
or his wife might do differently.
In our church we complained of one
minister because while he was good
preacher he was not social enough
outside of the church; another was on
good terms with everybody, but hadn't
business push; another suited in every
respect, but his wife didn't, and this
in small town finally made trouble.
Our congregation and g. good many
others seem to look for q big, all
around kind of q man who would
bring five or six thousand dollars g.
year in the business world and to get
him for $500 and donation party.
AS it can't be done, wouldn't it be
better to give up trying?-Mrs. Mar.

A Cheap Hon House.

The American Rural Home.
A cheap hen house is one which can
be built without the outlay OF much
cash or time, but then it may still be
a very dear one, if it does not provide
for the comfort OF the fowls, keeping
them free from dampness and draught,
and comfortably sheltering them.
Many an expensive henhouse has been
built which is very pretty to look at,
but which is deficient in comfort, style
being secured at the expense OF the real
desirable qualities which can be secur-
ed at q far less expenditure Of money.
Common, rough lumber, when treated
to whltewash, makes q very pre-.
sentable house, while posts can be
planted to frame the building to, thus
saving the not inconsiderable expense
of making regular frame by mortis-
ing and tennoning the regularly
sawed lumber. This is an item
we'll worth remembering, espe-
cially as the majority of our
poultry breeders cannot always spare
round sum in cash to erect what
some term model house. By select
ing a site for the house where the
ground is high, or by filling in the
house for several inches with sand or
gravel, to secure the same advantage
board floor can be dispensed with,
still further lessening the cash outlay,
while, to still further cheaper the
building, erect alean-to against anoth-
er and larger building, the backend or
side of the larger building being the
back of the smaller one.

New York Letter in Hartford Times.
The American woman always wish
es to be equal to the occasion, and
there is probably no country in the
world where fashion holds the major
ity Of women in stronger fetters than
this, but it must be admitted that the
manifestations of an independent
spirit are daily becoming more fre-
quent. There are dressmakers to be
found now who are designers, who
have the courage of intelligent con-
viction and will make graceful dress
of cheap material, yet so we'll cut and
combined that it does not look cheap.
One of the most original of these re-
Gently made a charming evening dress
for young girl-fnding the material
for SIS. 1t seemed incredible, the
effect was SO good. 1t consisted OF
Madras muslin, ecru and pale blue
cheese cloth. 1t was made with short
gathered waist and straight skirt,
with big bow of the cheese cloth at
the back. The same artist took a
golden brown shadow" silk-an
American production-and made it up
on the wrong side, the tones being
darker and SO much richer, combin-
ing it with q golden brown veloutine,
in order to get the tone required, and
which could not be obtained from Q

Artemus Wards First Hit.

"The late Col. E. u. Mason, of To-
ledo," remarked an Ohio man, "once
related to me this anecdote about the
lamented Artemus Ward Charles F..
Brown. Artemus had left the Toledo
Blade and gone to Cleveland to. take
city editorship of the Plain Dealer, OF
which J. w. Gray was editor and pro-
'prietor. Thepaper was small in those
days, and Gray and Artemus did most
of the writing. One day Gray was
sick, and sent word to Artemus to get
the paper out as best he could. The
next mornings issue contained an en-
tire page of what purported to be the
first schoolboy essays of the leading
citizens of Cleveland, Gray's included.
In these suppositious essays Artemus
had, with inimitable tact and humor,
foreshadowed the future man, with all
his eccentricities and peculiarities.
"Gray, who had got the worst scor-
ing of all, read the paper and sent for
Artemus. He responded promptly,
feeling like culprit, and expecting
nothing less than an immediate dis
charge. Instead, he was heartily con-
graduated and given two weeks leave
of absence on full pay. Harris, one OF
the alleged essayists, gave him hat.
Fairbanks contributed a pair OF boots,
and the others pooled their issues and
presented him with suit of clothes.
He first went to Toledo, and three
weeks afterward telegraphed from St.
Louis for money enough to enable him
to get back to Cleveland. This episode
made him famous IN the Forest City.

Lifting Extraordinary.

One of the first things that attracts
the attention Of visitors to Fosters
crane, in the lumber region, near Fair
child, Wis, is the famous "steam
skidder," the only onein thestate. It
is great sight to witness two or three
huge logs being dragged, from a dis
tance of thirty-tive rods, over brush,
fallen trees, stumps, etc., as if they
were mere sticks, and dumped on top
of huge pile alongside of the track.
And to do all this requires only one
man to manipulate the levers on the
steam engine and one way off where
the logs lie to put the chain around
them. 1t makes no difference if the
logs to be drawn are beneath pile
of other logs or fallen trees. The
moment the chain is put around them
off they go, the forward end somewhat
elevated and the rear end dragging over
any obstruction in the way. Some
times the whole load makes a leap
of several rods without touching the
ground.

Milk for Poultry.
The American Rural Home.

The American Rural Home.
This is one of the very best things
to give either young or old fowls.
Most every breeder has tested its value
and recommends it as wholesome
and nutritious diet, naturally adapted
for young chicks and poultry. On
every farm and in almost all suburban
homes milk is fed to pigs; this is one
way to utilize it; but if farmers paid
more attention to their poultry stock
than they do, they would find that
they could turn it.. to better account
by feeding it to their chicks and lay
ing hens. All kinds of poultry are
fond of milk. Although they soon
become satiated if fed exclusive.
ly on grain, animal, veget able or
or insect food, they seldom refuse milk
in any form; fresh or sour, it makes
no difference to them. Nowadays
milk enters largely into the bill off are
for chicks and fowls. Poultry breed
ers have found out that it contains
properties beneficial to their health
and early development. Almost their
first food land with many the first
after the yolk is assimilated), it's
soothing and nutritive effect is appar-
ent, and if mixed with stale bread
crumbs nothing is better. Now, for
laying hens, milk is nourishing and in
duces laying. Where it can be spared
it is more valuable to the poultry
stock than to any other. If farmers
would give it a fair trial, and lay aside
tho fogy notions of their ancestors
and look at things in new light, they
would abandon the practice OF feeding
their spare milk to pigs and give it to
better paying stock.

Who Wear Chicago's Brilliant
Gems.

Chicago Mail.
lam told that the finest diamond in
Chicago is worn by Milton Oliver, a
lawyer. 1t is not by any means the
largest, one or two others being three
or four times as large, but it outranks
all others in quality. tits about three
and half carats and cost Oliver
$4,000. Tom Donnely, who sold it,
thought so much OF it that he has twice
offered the lawyer $500 more than he
paid. The largest diamond in the city
belongs to Ed. Lansing, the saloon
keeper. His is astone of fourteen car
ats, but it is off color and didn't cost
and isn't worth $1,000. The finest
ruby in the city is probably the one
worn by Ed. Partridge, the State
street dry goods man and speculator.
The finest emerald is unquestionably
the one that Broker Crosby, OF the
Board ofTrade, wears in all old-fash-
loned setting in his finger-ring. The
largest diamond here was twenty car
at stone and was not of any special
value. There are more and bigger
diamonds around in Tom Donnelly's
safe than in any other receptacle in
the west. They belong to q hundred
different people and aggregate in value
over $1OO, 900. The rich men here
do not wear big diamonds. Neither
Pullman nor Armour, nor Allerton nor
Fairbank, nor McCormick nor any 9TH
er millionaire that l know of-except.
ing one-wenrs big diamond. Joe
Reynolds, Diamond. Joe," does.
But half believe he does it more to
advertise his steamboats, than from
any weakness himself for show. The
big stones are bought for the women.
The wives of all these men have mag.
nificent collections.
