HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Some gardeners are now using
common drain tile for holding the
stalks of celery in position and for
blanching them.
The time was when tables were en-
tirely set with white; now we go to the
other extreme and have clutter of all
sorts of colors mixed together without
harmony. - Cincinnati Times.
Keep old turkeys for breeders. Sc
lect gobblers and hens that are broad
across the back, short legged and
square-built. Tall, thin turkeys are
not worth keeping. Prairie Farmer.
1t is said by an experienced seam

your needle from the end farthest from

There is probably no root more
poorly adapted to making good milk

be fed only sparingly and with good

And without even the expense of boa rds

one-third cupful of sugar, four eggs.
Boil rice in milk until reduced to pulp,

then carefully mix in the whites of
eggs, whipped to stiff froth; butter

If any article of household furniture
requires disinfecting occasionally, it is
carpet; especially if it has been used
considerable time. The following is
method recommended by lady
housekeeper, both as disnfectant and
preventive of moths: Add three
tablespoonfuls of turpentine to three
quarts of water. Saturate a large
sponge with this mixture, squeeze it
about two-thirds dry, and 60 over the
carpet carefully. AS often as the
sponge becomes dirty cleanse it and
take in a. fresh supply of water Troy

A Great Scientific Discovery.

A remarkable discovery has recently
oeen communicated to the Academy of
Natural Sciences, of Philadelphia, in re-
gard to reproduction in Am@ba, the
well-known unicellular plant, found in
the blood of animals. 1t has been the
general belief that these low organisms
propagate only by division; but Dr.
Leidy reports two Independent observa-
tons, where reputable microscopes OBJ
served dust-lke particles to be elected
from the cells, in all probability the an
alogues or equivalents of spores in fungi.
If confirmed, it will place plants, former
ly thought to be exceptions, in line with
other departments of the vegetable king
dom thai have two forms of reproduc-
ton. DIR. Leidy, however, rarely puts
faith in any observations that are not
either well authenticated or are in line
with other observations; and the fact
that he believes these observations worthy
of announcement is strong point in
favor of the reality Of the phenomena

FULL DRESS FOR MEN.
Some New Points AS to the Cut of the
Evening Suit Ia Mode.


The last authoritative report, giving
in minutest detail the proper manner of
cutting dress suits, is as follows The
length of the coat for q man standing
five feet eight inches is eighteen and a
half inches to the waist and thirty-six
inches to the bottom of the skirt. The
back is cut with moderately high
shoulder seam, a narrow back scye, a
side seam moderately curved and a
width at the tack of one and three
quarters inches. The gorge should be
cut slightly longer and lower than for a
double-breasted frock coat, and the
lapels. which are light, should be made
considerably peaked. They are spaced
for five holes, and are made to turn just
above the second hole from the bottom.
The silk facing should extend only TO
the end of the collar The lapels at the
bottom are very slightly rounded and
the skirts at the hips are turned very lit
tie, and at the bottom they are rounded
even less. The edges are bound with
very narrow binding, The sleeves are
cut so as to be shapely, having but little
fullness at the top, and are made just
large enough at the bottom to inclose
linked cuffs smoothly. They are finished
to initiate tolerably deep cuffs, and close
with two holes and buttons. The fronts
should Just meet at the termination of
the roll when pressed close to the body,
and below that point are well cut away,
The vest closes with four buttons so
spaced that the opening corresponds
with that of the coat. The length should
be the same as that of the coat TO the
bottom of the strap. The collar is so
curved that the opening resembles a
shield in shape.
The trousers conform to the outline Of
the leg in more shapely manner than
when made for business or day wear
The side seams should be plain. They
are we'll shaped over the calf and about
the ankle, in order that upon the foot
they may fall as smoothly AS possible
The pockets should be placed in thu
waist seam boston Herald.

AS to the silver wedding and golden

AS to the silver wedding and golden
wedding, most of us know about those
anniversaries; but here now is some
thing new in the same pleasing line-.a
bit about crown-damond wedding. The
crown-damond anniversary is the sixty
fifth, and such an anniversary was OBJ
served short time ago at Maebuell, in
the island of Alsen. Having completed
their sixty-fifth year of wedlock, Claus
Jacobsen and his venerable spouse were
solcmnly blessed by the parson of their
parish, and went for the fifth time in
their long welded life through the form
of mutual troth-plighting before the
altar at which they had for the first time
been united before the battle of Water
loo was fought. The united age of the
couple is l78 years. Toledo Blade.

POPOCATEPETL.
The Ancient Volcano Transported Into the
Halls of Litigation.


The ancient volcano Popocatepetl has
got into the courts. Not that it has
been bodily transported into the halls OF
litigation, but it is the subject of novel
suit at law. For many years General
Ochoa has been the owner of the volcano,
the highest point of land in North
America, together with all its appur-
tenances. The crater contains fine
quality of sulphur, which the General
has been extracting, giving employment
to Indians who cared to stay down in
the vaporous old crater. The property
was at one time fairly profitable, but
now it appears that the volcano was,
some time ago, mortgaged to Carlos
Recamier, who brings suit of foreclosure.
The papers have been joking about the
matter, some asking what Kecamier in
tends to do with his volcano when he
gets legal possession. He has been sol
EMMY warned that the law forbids the
carrying out of the country ancient
monuments and objects of historic inter
est.-MeGic0 Cor Boston Herald.

A Trait which Is Both Real aud Appar-

1t may refer to looks and to its reali-
ties. In the estimation of physiolo-
gist, that woman is not neat who al
lows her family to breathe the air of the
sleeping-room over and over again,
with closed doors and windows, or who
cooks either her chickens or her SheUfSh
without removing the entrails! That
man is not really neat who sleeps in the
same clothing worn by day, or sleeps
in bed which is made as soon as it is
vacated without ''airing," with all Of
the foul gases remaining that have es-
capped from the body. That woman is
not neat who serves her fowl after it
has hung till it is mellow" from age,
having become putrid and tender, "

THE OLD COUPLE.

The house so sunny and brown.
With its cumbrous old stone chimney
And the gray roof sloping down!
The trees fold their green arms around it,
The trees a century old;
And the winds 20 chanting through them,
And the sunbeams drop their gold!
The cowslips spring in the marshes,
And the roses bloom on the hill:
And beside the brook In the pasture
The herds go feeding at will.
The children have gone and left them;
They sit in the sun alone.
And the old wife's ears are falling,
AS she harks to the well-known tone
That won her heart In girlhood,
That has soothed her in many care,
And praises her now for the brightness
Her old face used to wear.
She thinks again of her bridal
How, dressed In her robe of white,
She stood by her gay young lover
In the mornings rosy light.
OH the morning is rosy as ever,
But the rose from her cheek has fed;
And the Sunshine still Is golden.
But il falls on silyered head.
And the glrlhood dreams. once vanished
Come back in her Winter time,
Till her feeble pulses tremble
With the thrill of Spring.time prime.
And looking forth from the window,
She thinks how the trees have grown,
Since, clad in her bridal whiteness
She crossed the old d0or-stone.
Though dimmed her eyes bright azure,
Ana dimmed her hairs young gold,
The love in her glrlhood plighted
Has never grown dim nor old.
They sat in their place in sunshine
Till the day was almost done;
And then, at its close. an angel
Stole over the threshold stone. -
He folded their hands together,
He touched their eyelids with balm;
And their last breath fioated upward,
Like the close OF q solemn psalm.
Like bridal pair, they traversed
The unseen mystic road
That leads to the beautifulcity.F ~
Whose builder and maker is Cod. =
