About Champagne COrks.

from tue Clncluual EnQulrer
''Do you know" said broker who had made
a profitable turn in gas stock yesterday, as he
ordered ''another small bottle" "that these
champagne corks cost a great deal of money.
Take this cork, for instance" picking it up and
showing its quality to his listeners, ''every one
of these corks for pint bottles cost just four
and the champagne houses buy them
by the ton. All sorts OF devices have
been used to do away with the heavy
expense Of valuable corks, but none Of
them have been practical, and a return to cork
was necessary. A good cork is great factor in
the champagne industry. Three years ago one
of the biggest champagne houses in France lost
nearly rs per cent OF its expectation to America
that year because the corks used were Of poor
quality. Since then they have purchasednone but
by its close grain and its marvellous expansion
after it is Withdrawn from the bottle. A good
champagne cork is the pride Of all the agents"

The Bell of San Gabriel:

Outside the walls OF Gabriel
We finger in the light,
And listen to the mission bell
That tolls upon the night;
The holy vesper's silvery chino,
The voice Of prayerful priest.
Chanting a low cathedral rhyme
As the stars sail up the east
Upon the walls of Gabriel
The moon in radience shines,
The story of the sky to tell
As ii scars above the pines:
A song of heavenly love II sings,
And Joins the solemn lay,
As the bell of the mission sadly rings.
At the end Of the dreamy day.
Thy mission bell, San Gabriel,
Sounds an anthem to my ear,
And its benedictions softly swell
As thy Spanish walls we near.
In CALIFORNIA; golden realm
sight thy belfry grand,
As a sailor at the stormy helm
Sights lighthouse on the land.

The Length Of Legs.
From the Birmingham Age-Hersld

From the Birmingham Age Herald
A lawyer il presumed to be always able 10
suggest difficulty, no matter how self-evident
the case may seem; but the truly great lawyer
knows how to state point 90 that even a
brother lawyer cannot start an objection. Ac-
cording to the Ydnks Blade, Stephen A.
Douglas and Mr.. Lovejoy were once gossiping
together, when Abraham Lincoln came in
The two men immediately turned their con-
yersation upon the proper length Of . mans
legs.

ssAbe, what do you think about IL.
Mr.. Lincoln had far-away look - he sat
with one leg twisted around the other, but be
responded to the question: 'sThink about wha4'
well, we're talking about the proper length
Of mans legs. We think yours are too long
and Doueias' TOO short, and we'd like 10 know

Sister Mary Turner,

Rev. II. N. Eaton, writing TO the Machias
Republican, relates an incident that occurred in
the early days of Maine Methodism, which
illustrates how easy il is for q man to imagine
that his own inclination is q manifestation Of
the Divine will. In the days Of which Mr..
Eaton writes it was the custom for young min
listers 10 consult their presiding elders before
taking wife. Once during acamp-meeting in
eastern Maine young minister approached
the presiding elder and said he wished to be
married. Whom do you propose to marry?"
asked the elder. WELL" said the young man,
"the Lord has made known to me very clearly
that l should marry sister Mary Turner" Il
know her well, said the elder, 'she is n fine
girl. will see you again before the meeting
closes" During the week four other young
ministers consulted the presiding elder on the
subject of marriage. Each of them gave the
name of the young woman to whom he pro-
posed to offer himself. They had all prayed
over the matter a great deal, and each was
certain that it was Gods desire that he should
marry the person named. Neither of the five
young men knew that any one else had con-
suited the elder on that subject. On the last
day of the camp-meeting, at noon, the elder
called the five young ministers to his tent to
receive his opinion. He said: ''Now, brethren,
ii may be the will of God for you to marry,
but it is not his will that five Methodist minis
tiers should marry that little sister, Mary
Turner"

Strengthening Flower Stems.

Not few horicultursts are greatly bothered
with the feebleness and slenderness Of the
stems of certain flowers Several varieties OF
roses, fuschias and other tall-growing plants
produce flowers too large and heavy for the
frail stems on which they grow. Even when
protected from every breath of wind that might
destroy them, they are often unable to hold up
their towering heads until after the blooming
period. The only solution to this difficulty has
been, for many years, to stake the stems up,
often running green stick up to the very edge
of the flower and tying it to it. The beauty and
gracetulness of the plants are naturally dis
figured by such artificial supports, and many
hower-grower has wished that nature had given
the delicate stems a little more strength.
OF late various fertilizers, containing differ
ent mineral substances, have been fed to the
flowers with the hope of strengthening their
stalks. 1t is evident that such a fertilizer can
be manufactured The best thing SO far that
has been experimental with is the suiphate of
iron II the plants are watered with this solu-
ton when the buds are partly grown the feeble
stems will be made SO rigid that they can sup
port the beautiful flowers without bending.
The La France rose especially produces a
beautiful flower, which is often found on the
summit Of a stem too weak to support it. The
sulphate Of iron acts well and effectively when
applied to this plant, and the stem becomes so
strong that the expanding flower gains depth
and beauty of color that will never be found on
the weak. dropping stalks.
The solution can be used in many other cases
with the same excellent results. Plants are
seldom if ever injured with the application,
although large doses have been applied more
than once. Plants growing in heavy soil should
have stronger solutions applied to them than
those growing in light soil. Plants that have
been injured by the cold will often revive
when watered with strong solution of sui
plate of iron. Fuschias and roses that are put
back in their growth by cold will often grow
strong and vigorous under this treatment, and
| the flowers be of exceptional brilliancy in
color. and the shoots unusually strong and
vigorous. The French were the first to use
this application to any purpose, and now it Is
| used with considerable success in the flower
gardens all over France. Rose bushes and
other plants put on exhibition, or growing in
public places, should be watered with this So
luton, as well as those in private grounds, for,
besides strengthening the stems of the plants,
the beauty Of the flowers is also enhanced.

Sweet Little Somebody.
From the Albany Journal.

From the Albany Journal
Somebody crawls into mamma's bed
Just at the break of day,
Struggles up and whispers loud,
Somebody's come 70 stay"
Somebody PUSHES through the house,
Never once shuts the door,
Scatters her playthings al around
Over the nursery floor.
Climbs on the fence and tears her clothes
Never bit cares she
Swings on the gate and makes mud pies
Who can somebody BET
Somebody looks with roguish eyes
Up through her tangled hair:
somebody's me" she says, but then
Somebody doesn't care"

Buckwheat.

The value of buck wheat as farm crop is not
fully appreciated by all farmers. When thous-
ands Of acres Of virgin land was being cleared
by our forefathers, buckwheat was always the
first crop to be planted II was the only crop
that would catch well on such land and loosen
the soil properly for better crops. Buekwheat
contains less Of the albuminoids than wheat,
but greater amount of starch and fat. II il,
therefore, very fsttening, and makes an excel
lent feed for pigs and poultry. 1t will grow
the best where there is a light soil, and it will
flourish under a greater rainfall than other
grains.
As a second crop buckwheat cannot be sur
passed. Crops that have been destroyed by
drought insects or other causes can be sue
ceeded by buckwheat with good results. New
land is benefited by it in several ways. 1t
loosens the soil and exterminates the weeds.
1t is such a rapid grower that it will outgrow
the weeds and kill them. On new land it acts
well as n green fertilizer. Ii not cut, but al
lowed to die on the field, the straw makes q
valuable vegetable manure. which every soil,
new or old, requires more or less. z. p. 8.

Suggestions for Practical Farmers,
Fruit Raisers and Flower Growers.

Grape-growers must reduce expenses 10 the
lowest possible figure to make their business
profitable. Two cents pound for good grapes
is price that would have made our fathers of
half = century ago open their eyes with won
der, and even to-day, with all the facilities and
implements to cheaper labor and reduce ex-
penses IN the vineyard, the margin is small and
does not allow much room for extra cost in
growing the fruit. Is rs evident that, to make
grape-growing profitable, the methods OF cul-
tIre and marketing must be planned ON rs
cheap scale as possible. To do this without
reducing the quality and production Of the
vines is q question Of rural economy that is of
interest to all noviees in grape culture
Nature intended that grapes should run or
climb ON trees, bushes or artificial trellis work,
and II congenial support is given them they
viii more than double their yield and length of
growth OF canes. For this reason good trellis
that can be cheaply constructed is of inestima-
Bile advantage to the vineyardists. To do this,
take white cedar posts, about four inches thick.
and saw them into lengths Of about four feet
each. few days before setting them soak
two feet OF the bottom ends in coal-oil. letting
them stand in a tub to drain and dry. Be sure
that the posts are well-seasoned and dry
enough to absorb the oil; otherwise the coat
OF OIL will keep the sap in the wood, and hasten
its decay. After the coal-oil has dried, drive
the stakes one foot into the ground at a DIS
lance apart Of about every twelve feet. Stretch
slfSis wire alOhS tEe Top OF these posts, which
Will make it three feet from the surface. and,
If necessary, another wire halfway between
the first and the ground.
Such a trellis need not be made until the
third year after the vines have been set out
Before that time they will require no support
and it will do as well to let them run on the
ground. The best distance for the vines is
about 10 feet apart. 1t is not necessary to set
a post opposite every vine, although many may
prefer to adopt this practice. The third spring
after the vines have been set out they should
be lifted from the ground and tied to the wire.
The canes need not be fastened, as they will
perform this work themselves in time.
The advantages of such treilis are many.
1t Is cheap yet durable affair, and answers all
purposes required of a trellis. One need not
creep under them to get around, nor be COM
PEELED to walk to the end of each row to get on
the opposite side. The grapes are trained
close to the ground where they ripen well, and
are protected partly from high winds In adj
dition to this the vine will gradually be trained
to stand alone, 80 that in time they will re-
semble little trees. c. S. WALTERS.
