A Crcter in Enu Hlast.

Walking down Fremont street not long ago with friend we turned into shop, attracted by the latest fad ill gold hair pins temptingly displayed. As we stood in blissful contemplation of this golden fruit, forbidden us by tho shallow ness of our pockets, the spell was broken by some subtle attraction about a woman who was on the point of leaving. Half unconsciously looked up. but what be- held restored me fully to realization of the ridiculous. Ina stage whisper 1 men tioncd to my friend that she would miss the sight of the season if sho did not lL6ol, around. Whereupon she turned. and turned again. for one giahco at the creature of fashion-wR5, as I supposed. had adjusted a miniature Mount Vesuvius to the~Fear of her head, out of which strsamed great curls of lava-destroyed qil the equilibrium of risibles in ny friends possession.
 Seriously" said, what has she on?'' Any one would know you had been out of town" was tho reply; "did you come ill on hay wagon that you do not know hair dono Ia Medici?' Il knew before your burst O. information that had met q jay" was my stern answer, and ltrust the last of that species" But these girls! presume you are doing it, or will. so why waste words? We moved back to the counter behind which stood the clerk convulsed with inward laughter, that would come out when he caught sight of our grinning eountenances. The result was that we tTioed cur ncrrimcnt, as the whole affair had beJn Irresistible. The hair was streaky yellow. hoisted into a projectile below the crown of the head. At the extreme outer erd of this protu- bcrance were fastened what the roman ticist would term "a cluster of ringlets, " but in my dull. material way should pronounce false curls of precisely Lava tint. Consequently my first thought was of crater in full blast.-Boston Cor Chicago Times.

vonan.s ranc,es Concerning ycwe,ry.

HOnan's FGncies Concerning JcEeiry.
 A long time ago. that day when the word moved at the nod of Cleopatra. the Egyptian women saved all their gold to buy emeralds for their daughters, because tho possession of them not only insured freedom from all physical ills. but made in their hearts an ever spring well of hope, forcing them to be cheerful, happy women. Sometimes the emerald was en- graved with cabalistic characters, oftener it's smooth surface was untouched; what could not be accomplished by the precious gem itself certainly could not by the aid of mysterious symbol. Then the Sici Han women bought coral for their babies, believing that 1t not only brought to them good health, but counteracted the effect of the evil eye and kept away the wicked spirits. It seemed for while as if the same interest was going to be taken In coral now that was then, for beautiful pink coral framed in diamonds was not only shown in the large jewelry shops. but was worn by some very smart women. However, the fancy seems to have died out: coral is no longer either displayed in the window or on the woman. Unfof- tunately both of these health giving orna- ments. tho emerald and the coral. are easily initiated. which destroys their value in the eyes of the gem cok.ct Ing woman.-"Bab" h Philadelphia Times

 The ground being properly prepared. the planting should be In straight rows. using line, and may be done with dib- ble or by throwing Q line lightly with shovel or double mold board blow, and then drawing the earth In around the plant. as it is placed. with the hands. In extensive field culture the system of rows is the most advantageous. and these should be about three and a half feet apart, with plants one foot apart in the row, to admit of the passage of the horse shoe or cultivator between them
 Cultivators differ in opinion and prae- tice as to the arrangement of plants In beds. In the cut here presented Is shown a plan that affords great convenience In 8 garden plantation and one that Is much employed The ground Is divided Into beds of 4 feet wide. each of which may contain three rows of plants, the two outside rows inches from the edge of the beds. The plants may be set 1s inches apart in the TOW. except in the case of very strong growing plants, when IS inches apart will be found preferable. Thus. bed 20 feet long and 1 feet wide will contain from 40 to 50 plants Where there are several of these beds. 1t will be a good plan to separate them by walks of 2 feet in width.
 The plants should be of one season's growth. from the seed or runner. and well rooted.

In this game each player has not to leap over a long line of backs in succession, but one lad only acts ss jumping block, and must continue to do so until one of his playSellows, by making some blunder, is compelled by the ru.es of the game to take his place In Sfan- ish fly various figures, so to speak, have to be enacted, and these may be varied accord ing to the fancy and taste of the players. The following are the most usual
 One player having volunteered his back, the next to him vaults over, and must man. age fin his passage to deposit his cap on the back of the first player. If he fails to do this, he must become "back" himself. The other players then follow in succession, and, in leaping, must avoid touching the cap that lies on their friends back: any one displacing 1t becomes ''back," and tho garle recon- nences. Another figure consists in each player depositing handkerchief, rolled up into the shape of an eel, over the back of which he jumps, and at the next round, supposng all the handkerchiefs duly deposited In line, each player must pick up his own without ,iisplacing the others. Or the leader may set the example, while taking his leap with one hand to help him over, of lifting off his cap with the other and ainging 1t on ths ground before hirl; then, in tie next round, each must pick up his own cap. without removing his heels from the place where he alights after his leap. Thus the gano may be carried on in endless variety by varying the figure.

Art of Marking Books.

There are many ways of marking books; and you should have the art of all of them. If you wish to refer only to a passage draw a bit of pencil line along the edge, and then set down the number of the page on Ay leaf. So when you arc through with volume you look at the fly leaf and refer to the pages where there are points of importance, and you can use them as you please. But, alas. if one do finish a book. and there has been not one passage of note, and not one idea quickened, and not even provocation given, what a book is thati We should have @ special shelf, think. for imbeciles as we have asylums for idiots.-"E.

PERFECT-PIsTnLATE
 In setting strawberry beds 1t ought to be borne in mind that there are three kinds of blossoms, the male, female and hermaphrodite. Hardly any varieties are now grown that are purely stnmiuate or male; they are entirely worthless except for the pollen. The pistillate or female varieties are numerous. such as Crescent, Manchester. Bubach, etc. These. properly pollenized, are the most abundant bear CTS.
 The hermaphrodite. such as Wilson, Capt. Jack. Charles Downing. etc., that have perfect blossom, are productive without any other kind.
 Select. if possible. a moist time for transplanting strawberries. Spread out the roots and cover them with soil. but do not cover the crown of theplant with earth.

The Size of a Spiders Thread.

have often compared the size of the thread spun by full grown spiders with the hair of my head. says a well known naturalist For this purpose placed the thickest part of the hair before the microscope, and from the most accurate judgment could form, more than hundred of such threads placed side by side could not equal the diameter of one such hair. If, then. we suppose such hair to bo of a round form, it follows that ten thousand of the threads spun by the full grown spider. when taken together, will nor be equal in substance to the size Of single hair,

Important Points fin Wheat Culture.

A few years ago an experiment was conducted at Cornell university with a view to deciding the proper depth for planting wheat. Seven plots were seeded; No. at to inch. No. 9 at to II inch. No. 8 at 3 to 2i. and so on to plot [. which was planted at to 6i inches. From the results gained 1t was concluded that the seed placed at to of an inch produced by far the strongest plants, and that depths of not less than or moro than II Inch are probably the extremes for wheat to secure the best results.
 In the cut Is shown 8 wheat plant from seed sown at depth of | to I of an inch. and one sown at a depth of 8 to Ct inches. It will be observed that the wheat plant tends to spread its roots just below the surface of the soil. In the experiment noted, seed placed at 6 greater depth than II inches formed two sets of roots or a stem too weak to give proper support to the plant.

WHEAT sowN AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS.
 On the subject of commercial fertilizers for wheat Rural New Yorker gives the following advice: Buy of any well known fertilizer firm complete" fertilizer for wheat, and state whether your soil is light or sandy. Do not buy any incom- plete fertilizer unless you have good reason for believing that your soil does not need complete fertilizer. Probably your land needs bone, probably 1t needs potash; probably It needs nitrogen; but 1t also probably needs all. in which caso any one alone will not pay. Sow 1t broad cast before narrowing, at the rate of not less than 500 pounds per acre.
