Winter Gardening

IEactcal FARMER.
The winter work of the garden consists
mostly in taking care of such crops as
are stored for winter sale, getting them
ready for market and in running the
greenhouses and hotbeds in which are
grown the lettuce, radishes, dandelions,
parsley, mint, etc., for winter sale. The
celery and spinach pits need to be kept
quite cool IN order to keep well: this is
not hard to do in steady cold weather, but
in the mild open weather so common in
our winters, alternating with high winds
and severe cold. 1t is not easy to regu-
late the temperature SO as to keep out
frost in the cold weather and yet have a
oool temperature in mild weather. Cab
bage beds also will need watching; if
covered warmly enough to keep out frost
In the severe gales, they will often heat
and rot in thaw, if not partially uncov-
cred. AS for the rest, the teams VIII
keep busy landing manure, and any IN
occupied time will be filled up with max
ing hot5ed mats; these mats, when made
by a practiced hand, cost about 81 each
for mat by or feet, but if one
only needs few of them he will find it
cheaper to buy them a. Slips to $3.50
than to bother with them; it takes some
practice to make them we'll and quickly.
Perennial plants of nearly all kinds,
and young evergreens especially, are
much benefited by good top dressing
of manure dnring winter, especially suoh
kinds as are making a weak growth. It
stimulates them, gives them better color
ed foliage and makes them altogether
finer and strong overlooking specimens.
Life is too short to wait for plants when
making weak and puny growth.
Healthy plants are always less liable to
the attacks of insects than weaker grow
ing specimens.

spared. Skulls and bones lie liter
ally in heaps against the walls
here and all around the fortress: at
many points, by several of the gates, the
skuiis were piled up to great height. ln
the fields around the town, too, lie skulls;
as far as the eye can reach, skulls and
skulls, and again skulls.
The wolves and jacKals have already
done their work; the ravens are still en-
gagged in picking the bones clean for the
sun and rain TO bleech. One of the farms
| in particular, which lies nearest the town
abounds in bones. 4 body of Calmucks,
| IL, 900 strong, came this way TO help the
beseiged, but 70 rec of only few hun
dred Dughans fell upon them, drove
them back, aad killed them to the last
man. What wonderful energy on the
sart of the insurgent Mohammedans!
What cowardice on the part of the China
men. I had enough to occupy M.
From the governors palace TO the sim
pie little houses of the common
people all the dwellings were habitabIe;
all were painted, all decorate with paint
ings, sculptures, bas-reliefe, flowers,
Dragons, etc. Theatres OF an original
construction, Buddhist temples in which
some colossal idols were still intact
(though the Mohammedans evidently
showed great zeal in overthrowing these
and breaking them to pieces), seemed al
most to be waiting for the people to
throng in TO their prayers and their
amusements.
For three weeks I lived with one Cos
sack and one I artar in wretched cabin
outside the walls Of the fortress, and
every day from morning till evening
roamed about, looking ct everything,
drawing and painting. Occasionally a
wild goat would stray into the courtyard
where 1 was painting, stand transfxed
with establishment, and then rush off at
full speed across the brow5 and desolate
steppe.

cultured Boston's high schools.
M You had just ought to have heard

right out loud.

M.-Oh. the yum yum of gravity and

THE DISAPPOINTED.
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

There are songs enough for the hero,
sing for the disappointed
For those who miss their aim.
sing with fearful cadence
For one who stands in the dark,
And knows that his last. best arrow
Has bounded back from the mark.
1 sing for the breathless runner,
The eager, anxious soul.
Who falls with his strength exhausted
Almost in sight of the goal.
For the hearts that b1 csk in silence
With a sorrow all unknown.
For those who need companions.
Yet walk their way alone.
There are songs enough for the lovers
Who share loves tender pain:
l sing for the one whose passion
Is given all in vain.
For hose whose spirit comrades
Have missed them on the way;
/ sing with heart o'erf1oYing
This minor strain to-day,
And know the solar system
Must somewhere keep in space
a prize for that spent runner
Who barely lost the race.
For the plan would be imperfect
Unless it held some sphere
That paid for the toll and talent
And love that is wasted here.

The Andaman Islanders shave al
most the entire surface of the scalp as
thoroughly as the imperfect imple-
ments at their command will allow
them. Formerly they used chips OF
broken flint for this purpose, but since
the arrival of Europeans upon their
islands they can indulge in the luxury
of shave with piece of broken bottle
glass. 1t is said that wife takes a
peculiar pleasure in shaving the head
of her husband.
