Retaining Moisture in Soil.

As the country grows older droughts
bceoms more injurious. because the
effect OF cultivation is generally to
diminish the natural capacity OF tho
soil 10 hold moisture. As the vege'
table matter increases the surface be-
comes hardened, and water from rains
and SHOWS runs off instead of sinking
into the soil. For this reason many
small streams fail. as tho water runs
away early on the surface. instead OF
slowly tiltering into the reservoirs that
formerly supplied them. This is es'
pecially true on heavy land, whose ca
pacitv for retaining moisture depends
largely on the vegetable matter that
it contains. 1t is common mistake
to think that understanding makes
soils dryer in times OF drought. y"
the contrary, it does exactly the re-
verse; The drain, by removing sur
plus stagnant water, allows the soil
to freeze to greater depth, and thus
become more porous. The value of
an underilrain thus increases with the
deeper freezing of each successive
winter. because this increases the ca
nnoity of the soil to retain water
This is one reason why drains should
be made at least three feet deep in our
Northern climate 50 rs to get them
down below reach Of injurious freez
inc. Generally. however, when the
soil freezes so deeply there is no water
in the tiles. and II they or the sol
orounl them be f,oz,n it does the
drain no damage. ST. Pau' Fo"ee'

ENTERTAINING FRIENDS.
How 1t Can BE Done at Small Outlay OF
Care and Cash.

uGw 1t Can BE Done at q Small Outlay OF
Care and Cash.
For hostess who does not care to
undertake the responsibility of dinner
giving, simple teas form pleasant
mode of entertainment. All that is
necessary can be provided at small
outlay of care and cost. Tea or coffee
and chocolate are the beverages; thin
bread and butter, rolled or cut into
tiny, three-cornered sandwiches, or, if
these consume too much time in the
preparation, larger rolls will answer
the purpose. Besides these, nothing
is essential but an assortment OF light
cakes that may be either of home man
ufacture or purchased at confection-
er's, as one may choose. Two married
ladies may be requested to preside over
the teapot and the coffee-urn, and half
dozen young girls invited to assist in
the waiting. With these provisions
and pleasant selection of guests, the
success of the tea should be assured.
Naturally good deal depends upon
the people who are present. Judg-
ment is required that in issuing the
invitations the wrong people are not
asked to meet one another, and the
same tact should be shown by the
hostess in introducing her friends. All
the work is not done when the guests
are invited and the Refreshments
spread. The host and hostess must be
constantly on the alert to see that
pcople are not bored; that one man is
not obliged to talk to the same girl all
the evening, and that there are nc
unattended wall-Aowers. Farm ana

No harm In Middle sames

From tho Sacramento Record. Union.
A writer in an eastern review who
believes not only that there is some
thing in q name, but q very great
deal, urges the people to cease giving
middle names to children. He finds
that individual greatness and worth
in America has been represented
largely by those WHO had no middle
names. Thus, OF the fifty.three sign.
ers OF the declaration OF independence
only three had moro than one name.
In the first American commercial con.
vention not solitary delegate had
a middle name. In the convention OF
1857 to revise the constitution, of
the SO delegates 81 had but one name.
OF the As signers OF the articles OF
confederation only 4 had two "given"
names. Of the 81 speakers OF the
house in the first half OF the century
only l2 had middle names. OF the
. chief Justices in the same period
none had middle names, and Of 81
associate justices in that time only 5
had more than one name.
OF the 1S secretaries of state
only 2 had mid lie names. OILS secre-
taries of the treasury only 9, OF the
26 secretaries OF war only 8, and of
the FL secretaries OF the navy but 8
had middle names. We have had %
presidents and Is of them had no
middle names niven them at birth. OF
s senator's who became presidents
only one was doubly named. This
is amusing, but is really not an ingeni-
GUS device to discourage double nam.
ing, and impress people with the sus-
picion that there may be some ''sub.
tie forces directing the fate OF men,"
and that "a name bestowed upon the
helpless infant may produce effects"
marting tho career of the man. But
lot It's see how statistics of this char.
acter prove nothing. The output OF
q very few minutes OF search enables
us TO make this showing: OF the 80
ministers of the United States at for.
eign courts, % have 2 and 5 have
three given names. OF the United
States senators 90 have middle names.
OF the governors of the 40 states and
territories 40 have double names. OF

two names. OF the $50 names of the

OF nearly 800 men and women distin.
guished in American literature, treated
in c. f. Richardson's work 1.-THE latest

is oven between single and double

in such u matter is scarcely valuable
