DURABLE TIMBER.
The Chief of the Forestry Division Tells
 How to Treat Timber.


 In bulletin recently issued from the forestry division of the agricultural de- partment at Washington occurs the fol lowing advice on treating timber so as to insure it's durability:
 Early winter felling December should have the preference. Always remove the bark from felled timber to aid seasoning. but not from the standing tree If winter feled. shape the timber to size within fortnight after felling and have it placed on blocks. away from sun and rain as much as possible. as 1t ought not to dry too rapidly Sufficiently thorough season ing for most purposes is obtained in from twelve to eighteen months. while for special work. according to the size, from two to ten years Is required
 When timber Is cut in the leaf it Is ad vantageous to let the trees lie full length until the leaves are thoroughly withered two or three weeks) before cutting to size Win conifers this is good practice at any season, and. If 1t can be done, all winter felled trees should be left lying to leaf out In spring. by which most of the sap is worked out and evaporated.
 The best method of obtaining proper seasoning without costly apparatus in shorter time Is to immerse the prepared timber in water from one to three weeks to dissolve the fermentable matter near est the surface This is best done by run hing water-if such Is not at hand, bath may be substituted, the water of which needs frequent change Timber so treated. like raft timber, will season more quickly and Is known to be more durable
 If practicable the application of boiling water or steam Is an advantage In leach ing out the sap.
 Never apply paint or any other coating to green or unseasoned timber. If the wood Is not well dried CT seasoned, the coat will only hasten decay
 Good coatings consist of oily or resinous substances, which make a smooth coat. capable of being uniformly applied, they must cover every part. must not crack. and possess certain amount of plasticity after drying Coal tar, with or without sand or plaster or pitch, especially If mixed with oil of turpentine and applied hot Ghus penetrating more deeply) answers best. A mixture of three parts coal tar and one part clean. unsalted grease, to prevent the tar from drying until It has had time to fill the minute pores, is recommended. One barrel of coal tar will cover 800 posts Wood tar is not serviceable because 1t does not dry
 Oil paints are next in value. Boiled linseed oil or any other drying vegetable not animal-oils are used with lead or any other body Qike pulverized charcoaD to give substance. Immersion in crude petroleum is also recommended.
 Charring of those parts which come into contact with the ground can be con sidered only as an imperfect preservative. unless a considerable layer of charcoal is formed. and if it is not carefully done the effect is often detrimental. as the process both weakens the timber and produces cracks. thus exposing the interior to fer mentS

James Fitz of Keswick, Va., gives some advice on the subject of making ladders. and describes the forms hero illustrated These will be old to many readers. but beginners may receive timely help from the same. If the bars are made to run mp to 8 point. the ladder may be thrust upward anywhere into the tree and will remain firmly in it's place. broad wooden padded hook may be attached to the upper end, by which this ladder may be hung on any limb and drawn down slightly, so that the legs may rest on the ground. This is ono of the most conve nient forms of step ladders in use. See Fig in the cut.
 modification of the ordinary ladder may be made by attaching a similar padded hook to the upper end of one,of the bars. cutting of foot or so of the other bar so as to allow the hook to be placed on limb. See Fig. 9.
 Another convenient fruit ladder Is shown in Fig 8, and may be constructed of any light, tough sapling timber. such as young ash, poplar or chestnut. The sapling should be split at the butt and opened to about two feet. The holes for the rounds in the split part should be bored rather slanting so that the rounds when driven ia will it; the distance apart ought to be eighteen inches and the tim Der from which they are split should be well seasoned. The other short rounds or pegs should be made of stuf three fourths of an inch by about two inches. and put in mortises of the same size. and trimmed, curving upward. the ends to project about six inches on each side of the pole as represented in Fig 3.

TIE GLApIOLrs.

In Garden and Forest attention is called to tho important fact that a succession of flowers can only be kept up by repeated plantings because the flowers that one bulb will produce are quickly gone.
 The spring fever in gardening creates desire to have everything at the earliest possible moment, whether seasonable or not, and early planting of the gladiolus brings the flowers in the very hot, dry weather of our midsummer, when in its natural habitat it flowers in the rainy season. For perfect flowers 0 moist at mosphere Is necessaryi to that end the bulbs should be planted from the first to the middle of July. and they will then come into flower about the first of Octo Der, when tho days arc cool and tho even ing air moist. Any given variety coming into flower at that time will give spikes of blooms much larger and stronger and tho colors will be far better than If the same are produced in midsummer. A sue cession of bloom may bo kept up from July until frost by planting every two weeks, commencing as soon as the ground Is in suitable condition to work.
 In the cut, for which we are indebted to Wick, the well known seedman, at Koch ester, N. Y., Is shown a spike of flowers, also the way in which little bulblets form at the base of the bulb These may be kept until spring and sown in drills In one or two. seasons they will make bulbs large enough to flower.

 The best varieties and species of huckle berry. says A S. Taller, of New Jersey may be grown in every garden where black berries and rasp5erries are culti vated. Plants found growing on high dry ground can be taken up with less labor than those growing In low ground and usually with a ball of earth about their roots. There Is no risk In moving such plants. A huckleberry plantation is very much like on asparagus bed as to permanency, for with ordinary care either will last lifetime

Customs of Supper and the Dance at Balls
 and Large Parties.
 According to the social etiquette of New York stand up supper" or what Theodore Hook called perpendicular refreshments" is nsnally served at balls and large parties, al whlcb the escort is careful to see that the lady is properly supplied and made as com fortable as possible before he refreshes him self The lady cannot call upon any one eE cept an attendant for service, nor can she properly receive attention from any one ex cept her escort, unless it be offered by some member of her hosts family
 These supper customs apply also to a pub lie ball, where, if an escort overlooks her needs, she must ask assistance only from servant Among the few liberties young lady enjoys at public entertainment is the privilege of refusing to dance with such ap plicants for this honor as she chooses to dis regard Of course she does this courteously and gently; but one must be a young lady to understand the full delight of this permis- sion If she refuses an invitation to dance at private ball she loses the dance altogether and must sit through its inviting music. pollc forr,,fn afc hu fs. f.iolook

knew cat that lived in a house where a monkey was kept as pet, and although she was as large as the monkey and could have demolished him with her sharp teeth and claws, she lived in constant terror of him. He was always watching for an opportunity to bounce on her as she passed up the gar den, and she would scamper for her life to get out of his reach.
 But one day, as poor pussy was quietly dozing on the window sill, her nimble tor mentor caught sight of her and sprang with one bound onto the sill. But just as he was stretching out his little hand to make clutch at her fur, pussy started up There was no retreat, for she was in the corner of the sill. Courage mounted with the occasion, and rearing herself up like kangaroo, Miss Puss dealt MT. Jocko such box on tho ear with her sharp claws, that clapping his hand to the side of his head, he stared at her with open mouth. While he was thus of his guard, puss dropped down into the garden and made good her escape before he had time to recover from his astonishment.

Banging Horses' Tails.

The docking of horses tails Is mere method of fashion. Just now, in and about New York city, one sees banged tails on all the saddle horses. There is a fashion too in some sections of banging the tails of carriage horses-cutting the hair irregularly-just beyond the end of the bone of the tail. The tails of some of the racing horses are cut square and left somewhat longer as to the hair than those of carriage horses The cutting of of a portion of the bone of the tail is now rarely practiced.

All these characteristics appear to the best advantage in both sexes while young, grown up women losing their bloom atan early age, and men whitening apace under the influence of the climate, hard work, and their ow'n fiery passions Really handsome faces, with regulars lireaments, are the prerogative of girls and boys, and especially among the latter charming specimens of humanity are met with, models for cherubs as well as for picturesque ragamuffins. The great painters of the Italian renaissance loved to depict the handsome pages, who at that time were an indispensable appendage to the households Of the nobes.
