y Little Heroine.

Into the record of deeds of hcroism by those
older than She. de.crvrsto hc placed the story
OF LITTLE Nellie Barry. of Cambridge, Mass.
She was 10 Year, Old. but her heart wasstoll,
y she WAS the protector of her four brothers,
all Younger still. Her mother WAS dead and
her father WAS an lal,ituc of the gin mills.
This drrary apology for Il family lived in a

Of oil Cambridge.

noisy and nerve shocking one. There was u
particularly largo amount of bang and toot
around the Barry house. Whether there was
any malice lurking there will perhaps never
he known. At all events, little Nellie was
awakened later in the night by the sulfocat-
ing smell of smoke. Her instincts of protec-
ton were reused. She rushed out of the
hous, in her night dress, and WIS terrified To

Cause of Weak Ankles.

A Washington physician says that the low
cut and buttoned shoes worn by men as well
as women give no support whatever TO the
ankle. Worse still are high heele,l slippers
generally worn by ladies with full dress. All
of them leave the bones of the ankle loose and
without support. He recommends the old
fashioned lace shoe, which fits snugly around
the ankle and hold tho bones and muscles
compactly together at that point. Ankles
would not then be so liable to fracture or in

Capt. Colt examined the white plant many
times while it was growing to maturity. In
the autumn it blossomcd just as any other to-
bacco would when left alone, and after ripcn-
ing Capt. Colt carefully gathered the handful
of seed it produced. The plant was cut and
hung away by itself in the barn TO dry.
When it had undergone the latter process it
turned toa bright yellow color and contrastei
remarkably in appearance with the other to-
barco. Capt. Colt clcwel Il piece. 1t was
sweet and left an unusually pleasant taste in
his mouth. He called in u number of his
neighbors, all old tobacco growers, to cx-
anime the plant and SEQ what they thought of
it, They agreed with him that it was far
superior to any other tobacco they had ever
seen, but they argued that tho plant was
merely n freak of nature. The seed from it
would produce tobacco of the familiar dark
color and strong taste. The captain was ill.,
clined to that belief too, but he said no would

Tho Beauty of Lilac Elicht.

To begin, let lis revert to the lilac bush,
whose whitened leaves may readily afford
illustration of mycclial webs and threads.
By September, if not sooner, the entire foliage
will have taken on its peculiar whitcness as if
thickly busted with chalk or -four. On GER
tain leaves, however, appear suspicious look
ing dark brown specks or grains, very small,
but plainly visible to the naked eye. Relnov-
ing some of these g%ranules to the microscope,
VIC find the field filled with tiny sculptured
spheres ornamented with a profusion of long,
interlocking filaments, starting out like so
many extended radii of each sphere.
"A gentle pressure on the cover glass breaks
the sphere, and forthwith q dozen tiny sacs
appear, each packed with transparent oval
indicated spores, just such spores and quite
such sacs us appeared in the fruiting surface
Of tho morcl, and we nre ready with the
botanist to call the g%ranulcs fruit. Who could
have guessed the contents of that sphere? But

PLANTS AT 50 APIECE.

The following spring Capt. Colt sowel tie
seed from the white plant. The little plants
were carefully drawn and reset. Then he
awaited with great interest the result. The
plants grew rapidly, and to his intense dc
light the leaves were white He had Il little
field of the white tobacco, and again in the
autumn lie saved all the seed.
When the result of tho captains expert
ments was nown everybody in his vicinity
wanted tho seed. Ilo refused to part with
any, but the next spring ho sold tho young
plants for 50 apiece. The following autumn
some of the third crop, which was as bright
in color rs tho original plant, was taken to
market, and it sold for four or five times as
much as the common tobacco. Capt. Colt
NAMED it white Burnley"
iii" farmers i'll Mason county, Ky, expert
men;cI more eagerly with tho new tobacco
than did their ncighbors in Brown counay,
across tho river. They soon produced it i'll
considerable quantities. Most all of it WAS
shipped to the Louisville market, and White
Burnley became famous. For years its growth
Was confined to these two counties. Farmers
thought it was peculiar to tho soil there, and
could not he produced elsewhere. Thus the
quantity in the market did not amount to
more than the hundrcdth part of | per cent.
of the total crop, and it was regarded rs Il
rare and fancy brand, such as u rich man
only could afford to smoke or chew.
Several years ago farmers in various parts
of Kentucky decided to get some of the White
Burnley seed and try it. TIC their great sur
prise and pleasure they grew tobacco just as
good as that produced in Mason county. The
following season a greater quantity was
grown. The increase of the supply did not
diminish tho price. All the great tobacco
manufacturers of tho country wanted tho
White Burlcy. When their customers became
accustomed to it they would have no either
kind.
Capt. Colt grew rich off his White Burnley
tobacco, and many of his %neighbors were
likewise fortunate. 1t can be grow with tho
greatest success all over Kentucky, except il
the western portion, and is likewise produced
i'll Il small strip of southern Ohio, where tho
first plant was born. 1t can he grown no
where else. Through its agency tho Ken
lucky farmer makes nearly twice as mucl
money as he did a half dozen years ago

Painting. Floors.

A French writer observes that painting
floors with any color containing white lead
is in jurious, as it renders the wood soft and
less capable of wear. Other paints without
whito lead, such as ocher, raw lumber or ST.
ma are not injurious, and can be used with
advantage. Varnish made of drying lead
salts is also said to be destructive, and it is
recommended that the borate of manganese
should be used to dispose the varnish to dry.
Arecipc for a good floor varnish is given as
follows:
Take two pounds of pure white borate of
manganese, finely powdered, and add it little
by little to a saucepan containing ten pounds
Of linseed oil, which is to be well stirred and
raised TO n temperature of $50 dess. Fahr.
Heat 100 pounds of linsced oil i'll Il boiler till
ebullition takes place, then add to it the first
liquid, increase the heat and allow it to boil
for twenty minutes. Then remove from the
fire and filter tho solution through cotton
cloth. Tho varnish is then ready for use, two
coats of which may DO used, with n final coat
of shellac, il n fine polish is required
