GROWING MELONS.
A Crop Which Requires Cultivation Until
 Late in the Season.


 Late in the Season.
 The best land for growing melons is a dark, sandy loam. having gravelly sub-soiI, through which water rises within two or three feet of the surface. Such lands are seldom found outside of the first or second bottoms of large or small rivers The high or upland which nearest approaches in character river bottom is the best place to grow melons. The best manure is we'll rotted stable dung. in connection with that of pigeons, chickens and turkeys, and the best fertilizer, guano. with or without the acid of phosphate. The land should be plowed, narrowed and fined in the fall, and laid off so the melon hills will be from ten to twelve feet apart each way. DWhere each hill is to be an opening should be made foot deep, and in circular shape, three feet across. Into this the manure and fertilizers should be put to the extent in quantity that will third fill the hole, the earth returned and filling the remain inc two-thirds. This should be done in the fall, so as to give chance for the manures, fertilizers and earth to become incorporated with each other Plant a dozen seed in a hill as soon as the earth is we'll warmed up and there is nothing to fear from frost.

For canker sore mouth, one table spoonful of borax dissolved in half pint of water is excellent used as wash.
 Wash flat irons in soapsuds and dry thoroughly, if they at all trouble you by dropping black specks.
 -Pickled Fish: Spice the vinegar. cooking the spices in bag; when hot put the fish in and let it boil slowly until tender. Take out carefully and lay away in stone jar.
 Try salt for sore throat and onions for diphtheria. and cream of tartar and saleratus for rheumatism. These are simple home remedies. but they are sometimes very elfectual.
 Salad of String Beans: Trim one pint of string beans. put in a sauce pan, cover with boiling salt water. When tender. drain and let cool. cut each bean in four pieces, lengthwise. arrange neatly on a salid-dish. cover with French dressing and let stand one hour before serving.
 Spanish Fritters: Trim the crust from some stale bread, bakers. or if home made should be very light. Cut in any pretty, fanciful shape and soak in mixture of one beaten egg. one cup of cream or milk, two tablespoon fulls of sugar and little nutmeg and cinnamon. Fry a light brown and eat with stewed fruit or sweet sauce.
 A contributor 10 Good Housekeep- iaq thinks boys should be taught to make beds, sweep. cook common fare, darn stockings and mend their trousers if need be. while the girls should learn to drive nails, saw boards, make a joint, and use the glue pot neatly and effectively.
 When the hens appear droopy it may be traced to one of several causes, which arc large lice on the heads and necks, colds from draughs of air, or indigestion. The best treatment IS to separate the sick hen from the others, and put her in a dry, warm place, and await developments before treating as warmth is often more effectual than medicine.
 Tomato Salad: Peel six tomatoes and put them on ice until very cold. Make the dressing of two uncooked eggs mixed wit h half teaspoon of mustard, salt and little cayenne pep per, into which drop slowly half a pint of olive oil; then add few drops of lemon iulce and alittle vinegar. Wash and dry the crisp part of head of lettuce. When ready to serve cut the tomatoes in halves, arrange on dish with lettuce leaves around each half, and cover with the dressing and serve at once.
 If person is tired of white walls, it is easy to put another shade in the whitewash. Take two ounces oi cochineal and steep it in warm water two hours, when add to it one-half ounce of cream tartar.

 When the Grand Duke Alexis, of Russla, visited the United States he was capdvated by the wild life of the far western plains, and took great fancy to the cowboys, who reminded him of the famed Cossacks or his own country There were three cowboys of whom he became so fond that he ln- yiteo them to visit him in Russia One or them was Jacques Dardeville, from New Orleans; another was Robert Macy, from Nantucket, and the third was Rory O Brien, who came from Dublin when baby.

The Basis of Ethics.

Absolute idealism and naturalism are bo h in perplexity as to the source of ethical ideas. though in different ways. Granting the unity of exist ence, and that all things are the ex- pression of movement originated, sus- tained and consummated in the mani festation of the absolute, how can there be an ought applicable to the higher stages of evolution-how can there b. any thing but the inevitable? On the other side, granting that pleas ure and pain are our two great masters" how can man do more than guide himself by an es innate of h's best chances under the conditions of existence which he must acceptp Both show themselves insufficient to provide such a philosophy of the self-con- scious life swaycd by the imperative of moral law.

The Czars of Russia have been owners of real estate in Berlin for nearly fifty years. It was in 1888 that Nicholas bought the estate No. Unter den Linden, there by becoming a Berlin citizen. As an of- fering on that occasion he sent 5000 ducats to the Municipal Council, which sum was made the basis of the fund for erect ing the Nicholas City Asylum in the great Frankfurter Strasse, in which institution ninety-five aged citizens are given free shelter.

NOw vs. Then

Our oldest inhabitant delights to refer to the good old times, but when you pin him down he reluctantly yet honestly admits that he c m not name an item or an industry that is not greatly improved in these later days.
 Take for instance the article Hoods Sarsa- parilla. Why, it would have been almost an impossibility to have produced it in the olden time.
 In the preparation of this medicine the arti- cles which investigation has proven to be inert are discarded, those which have proven their merit are retained and @ combination formed of the most effective medical agents of the vegetable kingdom peculiar to this medicine alone. Their active properties are secured ny a process so modern and original that an emil nent professor in the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy while being shown through c. I. Hood & Co.'S mammoth establishment stopped and looking Mr. Hood in the eye exclaimed, "This is the present, that is the past"-re- ferring to competing houses.
 Another point worthy of mention right here: Hoods Sarsaparilla is not an accident, but the ripe fruit of industry and study. It was origin ated by men thoroughly educated in the manip- ulation of medicines and is made to-day under their personal supervision If the public could see the clre exercised in the selection and pur- chase of every article that enters into Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the cleanliness and neatness with which its whole preparation is conducted, they would not wonder at it's great curative power or at the hold it has on public confidence. Its success is the natural result of real merit and giving every purchaser fair equivalent for his money-One hundred doses one dollar.

NOTES FOR BOYS BY AN OLD BOY.
Of Courtesy and Gentlehood.

VI courtesy ana 6enIlel00Q.
Courtesy Is that outward demeanor By
which We show our regard for the feeling
Of Others. Genrlehood is the manner of
life and thought from which courtesy
naturally springs.
broad distinction Is to be drawn be
tween genslehood aid It's carricature,
genriIity. Gentility is cheap and tas-
dry imitation; gentlehoUd is the real
thing. TIE one is 3 venees, the other Is
the same all through. As gentlehood 3

and labored politeness which is put on as
If IS were dress-coat, only TO be worn on
special occasions.
Do not fancy my dear lad, that couI-
tesy Is merely trivial and ornamental
attribute fit only for lsdies' bowers.
manners are not idle, but the fruit,
OF royal nature and of noble mind"
The faculty of sym pathy IS at the root
OF courtesy. The unsymp8thetic man Is
never truly courteous. because he is by
tue very law OF his nature careless o. the
feelings OF others.
For the finest example of truth and
manly courtesy that the world has ever
seen you must turn to your New Testa-
ment. IN the words (-uroly not irrever-
enO of an CID writer, Je=us Christ was
''tae first true gentleman that ever
breathed.' Courtesy is but one of the
many developments of that Golden Rule
which is the germlnaI law OF practical
Christianity.
There Is nothing unmanly IN courtesy,
as some rough hammered persons seem to
think. The strongest AID bravest men
are generally the mildes5 and geutlest.
Ineetd, courtesy is often a sign of
strength, because it implies and involves
a certain self-re preston. The weak and
pompous man fears to be courteous,
lest he should compromise his own small
dignity; but he who Is truly strong is far
above any such dread. In truth, there
is no more effsctual shield against pert
and obstructive freedom than an easy,
unvarylng pollteness.
Especially would urge my boy to be
always courteous to his interiors. When
Sir VIVA. johnson returned the salute of a
negro who had bowed to him, he was re-
minded that he had done very unfash-
ionable thing. "Perhsps so," ''but I
would not be outdone in politeness by q
negro" Lord Chesterfield, the pattern
Of politeness, spoke in his will of his
servants as ''his unfortunate friends,
eqhal by birth and only inferior in for
tune" We are all of US polite enough to
great folks very often great deal too
polite; but only the really well bred are
courteous to servants and dependents.
