 The stranger took the bill and turned away sadly On the corner he met man and said:

The Happy Use of vines-How an Unpre-
 tentiOus House May Be Transformed
 Into a Picturesque Object by the Plant
 CTS Efforts Rather Than the Architects.
 The unpretentious cottage of our illus tration, reprint from American Garden, is a pleasing and somewhat unusual style of building, but the observant reader will notice that the home like charm and natural grace that surround it are the result of the planters efforts, rather than those of the architect and carpenter. These appear to have done their work well, for, although a cottage, it appears free from those "baby house conceits that often mar dwellings of this order, and render them unpleasant for human habitations.

A HAPPY USE OF VINES.

The balcony is broad and comfortable, high enough above the ground to catch the light breezes on a sultry summer evening, and the air of the whole house is one of common sense and comfort, but the artistic grace and sense of pleasure comes from the natural festoons of wood bine, or Virginia creeper, that depend from the pillars and caves of the porch and climb the corner of the house. The Japan hop winds above the railing of the balcony stairs, minglinS with the moon flower and Coboea scandens. Long rustic boxes around the outside edge of the balcony hold masses of nasturtiums, that spread about and hang over the edge with an air of gladness. Ivy geraniums and lobelias add their beauty and color. A few rotted plants lent their grace of form to the combination, and beds of scarlet geranium carried the bloom and color upon the lawn until the whole place was a mass of color and greenery. Take this away and imagine the desolation that would remainl

A Suggestion for Sheep shearinG Time.


 Many farmers at sheep shearing time roll up the feeces so carelessly and hide in them so much filth that it is not strange they receive low prices for the clip. Another thing, all burrs ought to be clipped out of the fleece. The Wool Grower, calling attention to this subject, says:
 If sheep are ranged in a section where burrs grow, of course their feeces will be more or less infested with the nuisance, and the wool will net the owner three cents pound and upwards less, depend ing upon the amount of burrs and the price of wool, than if free from the de feet; for if a buyer can feel few burrs in piece of wool he naturally concludes that the bellies and Hanks of all fleeces of that clip are loaded with burls, and | he makes his offer in accordance with that view.
 When shearing is progressing, the men who are tying up the fleeces can pass their hands over each fleece as it lies upon the wood table, and i1 few mo- ments can clip off the burrs with a pair of shears. If they are unable to keep up with the shearers and do that, we think it would pay the owner of the wool to put an extra hand or two at the work and let them pass the fleeccs along tc the men who tie, as fast as tho burrS art clipped. We hope some of our friend; who are so unfortunate as to have burry wool will try our plan, and see if they cannot save money by the operation.

Brussels Sprouts and savoys.

For a delicate form of cabbage Brus- sels sprouts are to be commended. These require a rich soil. The plants ought to receive the same treatment as do cab bages, but the sprouts last all summer, and should therefore be placed where they can have the whole ground for the season. The plants grow with large, loose, cabbage like top and a tall stalk below, over which little cabbage like heads form, which can be gathered all summer and until the hard frosts of the north may destroy them. At the south they endure the winter.
 Most people who consider cabbage an essentially coarse food are unacquainted with the Savoy class. Even the Savoys which have been crossed and increased in size and coarseness, like the Drum lead Savoy, are still far superior to the ordinary flat Dutch and Drumheads. And now we have a variety known as the Netted Savoy, which combines fair size with the highest quality.

The Euture of Steamboating.

It is not easy to predict what is to be the future of this great boating interest, We have over twenty thousand miles of steam navigation, we have original and enterprising boat builders, and an enor- nous travelling public. We have had in the past phenomenal fleet of steam boats particularly on our western rivers, and yet the business has been greatly de pressed, and there are fewer boats atioat today than twenty years ago. Moreover and this is the most serious matter ot all-our canals are being abandoned year by year. While Europe spends millions on canals and waterways, while France is trying to make every little stream navigable. and England is trying to turn her interior cities into seaports, we per init our canals to fill up or foolishly give them away to impecunious railroads for roadbeds Is it wise? Are we safe in trusting all our freight business to rail road corporations? Today we can, if the need come, send gunboats inland from i the Delaware to New York bay. If we | permit the railroads to destroy the busi- ness of the canal between our ship yards and our navy yards, we may be sure that in every European war office the fact Of our folly is carefully noted for future reference. Once Great Britain fought a great battle to destroy the water route that connects the port of New York with the back door of New Eng land. Saratoga was fought to destroy vital water route. Fortunately, the English generals who planned in London thus to cut the country in two failed, ana yet today we are abandoning our canals and see our great internal steam naviga- tion system decay without thought o the consequences.
 On the other hand-for there is |; brighter side to every picture-there is disposition among the travelling publi to demand larger, finer, and safer boat everywhere. We are being taught b, English tourists who visit us how to SC our own country. We may complacent ly talk of our limited trains and all that Every foreigner who visits us asks frs of all for our steamboat routes, becaus our lake, river, and sound boats ar known of all the world.-Charles Bel nard in Century.

A Wire with a History.

A bit of wire was introduced into our conversation at the club. It was a silent, uncommunicative bit of copper, about sixteenth of an inch thick and four inches long Most any hardware mer- chant would give you similar bit of wire, because its value would be so little he could not reckon price for it. But this particular piece, Mir Vail (whose father co-operated with Morse in invent ing the telegraph carries in his pocket book as carefully as if it were gold many times more weighty. It is passive, pliant substance-an inanimate bit of copper, but it gave the first cleo tric thrill that has brought the inlabit- ants of the world close together, con quered time, and annihilated distance 1t is q bit of the first three miles of wire ever used for teleSraphy. It is piece from the experimental line constructed by Morse and Vail, Sr., when they were testing their inventions. Only little of this wire, Nr Vail, Jr., informed me, has been preserved. After it was taken down from the experimental line, his father used part of it as trellis for vines on his front porch. Part of it may have been used in the construction of the line between the capital and Baltimore, but if so it was lost track of. It was from the trellis that the mementoes were re- covered. II think l got less than six feet of it," said Mir. Vail. After teleg- raphy became a wonder of the world we began to appreciate the value of sucl a memento, and we saved what we could of the original three mile wire. l have given pieces to a few persons who have been especially interested in it, and some was arranged on a card, with a photo graph of the original instrument, now a
 the National museum, that was sent tC the Paris exposition. "-Washington Cor
