Bad luck was the pet superstition on
which John Barnacle laid all his fail
ures and misfortunes. For years he
had drifted about the mining camps,
searching for good luck, but always
losing it in the liquor-bottle. His
wife, a patient, broken woman, had
died the winter before, worn out by
the hardships she had been compelled
to endure. But before her death she
had extracted from him promise OF
reform.
When his father had become lost to
sight around bend in the trail, Bat

old barrel-hoops put around to-
mato vines and nailed to stakes driv.,
on in the ground make an excellent
trellis.
Plants require various kinds OF
mineral matter, and derive them en-
tirely from the soil, but different plants
require different proportions in order
to have luxuriant growth.
When too large aowerpots are
used there will be more leaves than
flowers. Often plants do not bloom be-
cause, having SO much space, their
strength is expended In forming roots
and leaves.
Thick brown paper should be laid
under carpets, If the patent lining is
not TO be had. 1t saves wear and pre-
vents the inroads of moths, which,
however, will seldom give trouble If
salt is sprirkled around the edges when
the carpet is laid.
Stewed Cucumbers. Pare large Gu
cumbers, cut them lengthwise into four
parts, and remove the large seeds; soak
half an hour in cold water, cook in
sailed water until tender, drain off the
water, and make thin, white sauce
and pour over them.
"A liquid deadly to caterpillars and
other animated pests of trees and
shrubbery comes from boiling leaves
md stems Of tomato plants until the
ice has been extracted. This has
considerable odol,' wnich remains for
some time. and the application does
not hurt the plant.
For mildew on grapevines dust on
-four of sulphur either early in the
morning, while the dew is on, or after
a shower, when the leaves are wet.
For the grapevine beetle shaking the
vine early in the morning will bring
them to the ground, when they can be
readily destroyed. Slaked lime sprink-
led over the foliage destroys the larvae.
There are SO many beautiful an
nuals that blossom if early sown, from
the early spring until frost comes, that
the succession can be easily kept up,
and one need never be without them.
1t will require but little time to cult
vate them, and the vigor gained from
the outdoor exercise will compensate
for its outlay, even if the flowers yield
ed no other returns.

Precautions Whose Adoption viii Com
mend Itself to Careful Farmers.
The hot dry weather has made lit
ter, ETC., easily combustible. Even the
growing grass is so dry that it will
readily ignite. The farm hand should
not be allowed to walk about the farm
with pipe; the live ashes, blown from
it, may ignite the grass, or the dry lit
ter in the fence corner, or the stubble.
1t is not an unfrequent thing for a
string of fence to be burned by spark
igniting the dry grass and litter of the
fence row, or for spark to start the
stubble afre, sweeping on to the de-
struction of the stacks and buildings.
Certainly at this time lighted pipe
should not be allowed near any of the
stacks or buildings, We very much
doubt if lighted pipe is ever allowa-
BILE on the farm, Though the smoker
sits down when he smokes, he is apt
not to think at all, or he may forget,
to stamp out the ashes that he knocks
from his pipe.
To allow children to play with fire,
or to have matches, is manifestly so
foolhardy that it need only to be men,
toned. 1t is too careless to carry
matches loose in the vest or coat
pocket; for the coat or vest may be
thrown down on bunch of hay or
straw or on dry litter, and then the
tread of an animal, or the gnawing of
mice, may ignite the matches and
start a destructive confagratien. II
stubble is to be burned, it is better to
start the fire against the wind if the
stubble is quite dry, although fire
guard has been plowed. We know of
young farmer, working hard to get
a farm and home paid for, who burned
up last season eighty tons of first-class
hay; he plowed guard forty feet wide
around large stubble field, and start
I'd the fire before the wind. 1t swept
over the guard, caught in the dry
meadow stubble, and went on to the
hay ricks. Fortunately large thresh-
Ing crew was near by, and by hard
effort the fire was stopped.
Not infrequently the fire originate:
in the house, and in such a way thai
reasonable care would have prevented
it We very much doubt if twenty pei
cent. of the families in this country
have metal match safes. Usually tn,
matches are kept in the pasteboart
box In which they are bought-cer
tainly dangerous. In the summer tn,
kitchen stove is shut up after dinner
while the housewife goes to the garden
or to another room to sew. II tn,
stove is new and tight, this is SAT,
enough; but If the doors have beel
drawn by the heat, or holes have beel
made by the corners of doors breakin,
off, fire may drop out on the floor, ant
the breeze from the open doors an,
windows may fan it into a conhagra
ton. We should always bear in min,
the fact that what appears after tn
event to be very ordinary care, woul'
have prevented nine-tenths OF the con
dagrations In the Apsericai

A FAMILY AFFAIR.


Gaily that night we played our parts
OF lover and Of maid.
The play? scarcely know. but hearts,
Pierced by pair of Cupid's darts,
Loved on oil undismayed.
And what varied lot of Ills
We had to undergo;
Our parents wrath, which seldom kills
t-suspicion-missing wills
Nearly three acts Of woel
But as the play approached Its end
All evil turned to good;
Each enemy became friend,
Our hearts were then allowed to blond
AS at the first they should.
And we, urited, took our stand
Well forward to the right.
With lovers clasp held her hand,
With lovers breath her cheek famed,
And gazed with keen delight
Within those eyes whose perfect blue
Seemed purer blue for me,
Upon her hair, whose golden hue
Had almost made me miss my cue,
And whispered tenderly:
"Dear, let's mako earnest OF this jest,
A fact from fiction gain;
Let's put love truly to the lest

Was in the self-same strain.
She softly smiled, and turned her head
A little more away:

BEHIND THE TIMES.
The Kind of Shops from VIII ch Youn
Men Should stay Away.

Men Should stay Away.
Nearly every industry has been i'm
proved. Better methods of working
have been invented, and time and labor
has boon saved thereby. Some
branches of business have been left be-
hind.
The clay-worker uses the same kind
of machinery that was in use 5000
years ago. The rope-maker still ties
wad of tow about his waist and
PAGES backward his 2,160 feet per
hour, as he lays up spun yarn and

1t is stated that no wooden ships are
at present being built, yet five or six
are in process of construction in Bos-
ton alone, and single firm in Maine
builds many wooden vessels each year.
In framing these wooden vessels, it is
most distressing to the progressive
mechanic to see dozen men labori-
ously hewing out ribs and planking
that could be much quicker done by a
10-horse machine.
1t is still worse to see two men
wrestle with the old up and down
whip saw, in saving out planking for
vessel. The saw pit was once a
necessary adjunct to woodworking
yards, but 1t is, or should be, for
gotten art. Is 1t surprising that wood
en- ship-building has declined from q
high industry, when such crude work.
manship is practisedp
Not alone is this thing precticed in
| ship-building, rope-making and clay
working. In some machine-shops hav,
ing reputation for an excellent out
put, the most unmechanical method:
are practiced. In fact, these shops
like the ship-yards, are yet in the
"chalk age" of engineering, and theil
future is one of decline unless reform
be speedily instituted.
Fancy in this age of advancement
sewing machines constructed on the
cut-and-try principle! Nobody would
use sewing machines, and few would
be made. Why is it not equally obso
lete to use the old methods in Other
branches of iron-working? When plan.
and drawings are made it is supposed
that each part can be finished separ
ately, and. when assembled, viii fit ex
actly in their places.
Instead OF this the mournful specta
Gle of one man waiting for another,
as he works by "rule of thumb" upon
the cut-and-try" principle, is not VI
to the times, to say the least.
Such methods are only found il ole
shops where the customers, workers
tools and products have all grown oil
together. Such shop is no place fo
progressive mechanic. 1t is living
upon its reputation, acquired in tn
past. Such shop must die with it
present patrons, or new blood must b
infused, the old management total,
dropped and new shop made out o
the old one. Only perpetual struggl
for the improved in every shape vii
keep men and shops from being "be
