The current and the gooseberry
thrive best in a partial shade.
Feed plenty of charcoal mixed
with ashes and salt to your swine.
As soon as the stem will part
readily from the tree, pears should
be gathered.
Young poultry should now be
protected from studded and heavy
showers.

Baby boys are dressed much the
same as their sisters. They wear white
nainsook and cambria frocks, made a
little palmer; for instance, they wear
yoke slips of thick white cambria, with
hem six inches deep, but no tucks,
and the yoke is tucked without inser-
ton. The skirts of these little dresses
reach to the tops of their little soft
boots. Then they wear knickerbock-
ers of white pique when little older.
Artistic resources are being ex-
hausted, one might say, producing the
many pretty costumes worn nowadays
by our lads and misses. Fore
most among the sensible inven-
lions for boys is the jersey suit.
It includes knee-pants, blouse and cap,
and many varieties of it may be pur-
chased very reasonably at any ready
made clothing house. Yet they may
be made just as pretty and substan-
tial and certainly much more cheaply
at home if you can command the use of
chain-stitch sewing machine with
which to sew the seams. A lock-stitch

DAMAGING THE CELLAR.

If the cellar openings are manipu-
lated correctly, the place may be kept
cool and dry during the summer. The
openings should be mostly closed dur
ing the day, and opened after the out
door air has become cool at night If
Kept clean the cellar will not need q
great deal of airing, but ventilation and
dryness will prevent it's becoming un-
healthy. Lime will absorb the moist
ure and noxious gases, if they cannot be
expelled or their formation prevented.
Charcoal is also great absorber of
gases. In some parts of the South
whitewash is the great agent Of puriica-
ton and cleanliness in cellars, the walls
and ceiling being coated with it. The
temperature of a cellar may be lowered
by putting tub of broken ice and salt
in it. Double windows are made to
keep the temperature at the right point
in summer as we'll as in winter. Keep
the cellar we'll drained and we'll venti-
lated, and there will he less fever, less
diphtheria and fewer diseases that
breed from dampness and the putrefac-
ton Of vegetables.-Good Househecp-

Sally went to the window, drew aside
