"PhysiognOmy' is rather a vagary OF

a prominent student of human nature

continued, 81 deny that the expression
OF q mans face is really an index OF the

ones inner self.

in the days of which history tells US

each others wants and wishes in their

New England Hospitality,

l shall never again say that Masss-
chusetts people r not hospitable.
Not long ago l was driving along a
country road, just outside Of Boston,
and chaneed to stop at a farm house to
inquire my way. An old woman came
to the door, and, having given me the
information l desired, politely asked
me in. to have, so she expressed it, "a
drink and a rock" By a drink" 1
rather supposed she meant q glass of
milk. The 'rock" vas a luxury the
nature of which was beyond imagin-
ing. Satisfied, however, that it was
something inviting, l accepted the
offer with thanks, and. having tied my
horse, went inside. My hostess there
upon requested mt to be seated in her
best rocking chair and poured me out q
glass of water. "Now," she said,
'you can have a drink and a rock. and
rest yourself as long as you liker' Ger

waters. The Canon draws the infer

HOUSEHOLD.

TIE Juices of various acid fruits
mixed with sugar and water make
during the warm months most delicious
and wholesome beverages. They have
also the power of quenching thirst and
conveying a small amount of nourish-
ment to the blood. Ice or very cold
water, II taken too freely, is apt to dis
order the system, while these fruit
drinks will agree with most persons
perfectly well. Nothing IN the way OF
a summer beverage can be more health
full and strengthening than buttermilk.
1t stimulates a weak and delicate stom-
ach, and aids rather than retards diges-
ton. If persons knew the value of
buttermilk l am sure it would be used
freely by every one. 1t will in som
cases cure indigestion. 1t quiets the
nerves and helps those to sleep who are
troubled with insomnia. One of the
most peculiar features of buttermilk is
that its friends never tire Of singing its
praises and its enemies never weary OF
wondering how persons a like it.
Buttermilk cannot, however, be over
rated, and it should be used freely by
all who can procure it.

SQUASH FALLING oFF,-G. t.
The fruit of squash or cucumbers is
formed on the stem below the flower.
If the flower is not fortified by the
pollen so that seeds will be formed, the
fruit does not enlarge, but when the
flower fades it rots and falls off with
it. The remedy is to plant several hills
together so that there may be enough
pollen for all the fruit flowers; and to
let bees visit the flowers. Bees do
most of the fertilizing of the fruit
flowers.
