Sachet.Bags for Ladies'.

It is q new fad with Washington

fastened to ribbons Of various colors
hanging from their throats. The bags
are not mrch larger than an ordinary
thimblc and suspended by narrow
ribbons. cut At different lengths and
bowed with many loose ends just un-
der the chin. They are made to
represent meal-sacks and look like
camphor-bags designed to keep of the
measles and other diseases by some
supposed to fear that fragrant drug.
They do not, however contain CAM
phor. 1t is proper that they should
be made from bits Of silk or satin

mirer, and, like scalps, numbers count
to build up the pride Of the wearer.

of this journal is without proper pens

On some farms there is nothing of the
kind. On others, while there is some
pretense. there might as well not be.
There ought to be on every farm pen

Asparagus Cultu re.

One OF the most common errors In
asparagus culture is the manner in
which fertil izers are applied in setting
out. The plant having no tap-root
does not require the manure to be
placed very far from the surface. This
is very prevalent error, by the way.
in the application Of fertilizers gem
orally. With asparagus the nourish-
ment required should be spread on and
near the surface. as the rains will do
the work of carrying to the plant
what is desired in the way of fertiliz.
ers Spread your manure heavily and
not with stint on the surface, or. rs II
is generally designated. 'tcp. dress
ing and good results will follow. II
the young plants are placed above
the fertilizer the rains will carry the
elements necessary to promote the
growth of the plant away from it and
unsatisfactory results will follow.
Also, another error should be avoi led:
Don't plant your asparagus too thick.
Recent authorities suggest four feet
each wav, which of course is fur field
cuItur; but even for garden culture
three feet each way. or two by three,
is quite close enough. Better have a
few plants with strong. vigorous stools
than Il large number Of plants sending

THE IDEAL HOME.
A Place That Has in 1t Pleasure, Conn
fort and Happiness.


An old and cheerful citizen asks me
to publish his ideas of home. and do
it gladly. both because he is good
old citizen and because lie has right
ideas. IA home" he says, 'is not a
home at all unless it is pleasant
place to live in. There are some
elegant palaces that are not entitled
TO the name of home; they are only
residences, shelters. places for eating
and lodging. A real home is some.
thing better than that-it is place
where center the hearts best affections
and the minds best thoughts. and
which is preferable OH every account
to any other place in the world.
Home must have in it harmony and
love and attrsrtivencss; those living
there must. by both word and
act, endeavor to make all Its in-
mates comfortable and happy. Men
and women and children are often
driven from their home shelter and
become miserable and disgrace them.

the home is not what 1t should be-a
place Of pleasure. comfort and hap
piness. have known good business
men to become incapacitated for sue.
cessful business because OF their un-
happy home life. Some are even
driven to dissipation and crime for
lack Of the right home influence. ="
The old gentleman wished these words
printed because he is so deeply i'm.
pressed with their truth. and he de-
sires me to add. furthermore, that
'the greatest thing one can do is to
control oneself, and to set q good ex-
ample to others;" that success in
life depends mainly on our nffability,
| meyer saying or doing any thing that

The Republican Convention is

The Republican Convention is
now in session at Chicago, but the
sadvices received so far indicate
that.the hattie has hardly begun
yet. 1t MAS opened with politl-
cal prayer, full Of blasrhemy,
which strange to say, elected the
applause ofthe Convention. Speech
making has been much in'lulged In
and every allusion to old John
Brown has been greeted with up
roarious applause. Fred Douglas
seems to be The pet OF he Con-
vention. One j. NJ. TlurSton OF
Nebraska, has been made temper
airy chairman, and has delivered
himself of his trade against the
Democratic party. Tile gist of his
remarks we're that there was moth
ing good except in the, Republican
fold. NJ. NJ. EStee of California is
the permanent chairman. There
has been good deal oil talk about
candidates and much war of words,
but so far no one has developed
sufficient strength to Indicate who
would be nominee OF the party.
The Blaine boom,it is claimed was
killed by Thurston's speech, but
every mention Of his name still
shows that no one is so close in the
affections Of the great bulk of the
Republican party and it may he
yet that he will carry off the un-
certain honor. The most exciting
matter that has engaged the at
tention of the Convention has beer
the contest between Wise and Ma

Virginia. The fight between the nc
began in earnest when the chair.
man said, unless the Convention
ordered to the CONT AIRY he would
decide shat the list Of committee
men submit ell by Malone should
be accepted. Wise got the floor
and made a telling speech. Ma
hone responded and words were
banded between them, which cul
minated in Malone declaring that
Il charge made by Wise twas as
false as he was foul" The quar-
rel has since been renewed between
them, which was taken up by their
adherrnts and a lively scrimmage
was the result, during which Wise
and Malone reached for each 9th
er with the eagerness of trained
pugilists but were separated with
out blows. The outcome of the
contest between them so far,is that
Wise comes ont ahead, the commit
tee on credentials having finally vo-
ted to seat the Malone delegates at
large and the Malone delegates
from the first and fourth districts,
whose seats were not contested, and
