QUEENS OF LOVE AND BEAUTY.

The tournament of the Queens of Love
and Beauty remains in Maryland as an
active Renaissance of the old DAYS.
| They have some of the features of the
ancient affairs, but, old as they are, they
cannot resist the progress of the nine
tenth century. A grand tournament at
Forest Glen the other day had Queens
Of Love and Beauty. Thirteen filters
took part in the tourney, and 1000 peo-
pie enjoyed themselves and spent money
for the benefit of Carroll Chapel, under
whose auspices the affair was held. Two
bands of music enlivened the proceedings
and several lawyers exercised their ora
;ory in charges to the knights and coro-
nation addresses.
The first prize was a saddle and bride,
which was won by the Knight of Laurel,
who crowned a married lady Queen of
Love and Beauty. The second prize was

LIFTING PLANTS FOR WINTER.

Taking up and potting geraniums and
other bedding plants which farmers
wives and other amateurs wish to pre-
serve, should be done, says L, B. Pierce
in the american Agrieu1tWist, before the
advent of cool, frosty weather, in order
that some root growth can be made be-
fore winter. As generally managed, the
work is deferred to the latest possible
moment, and then the plants are kept in
a hallway or on the porch until the
SHOWS of early November alarm the own
er, and they are taken in. This
treatment gives little or no opportunity
for the plants to make any progress in
their new position. The cold nights and
occasional cold days keep the tempera-
ture of the soil in the pots much lower
than it should be. N~ewly-potted plants
require to be kept for at least two weeks
after potting, in a room where the tenn

when one learns how. First put in an
inch of broken crooks for drainage and
then cover with a little coarse earth.
Take the plant in the right hand with
roots hanging down, insert the roots in
the pot SO the ends Of most of the long
est ones rest on the earth, give the plant
a twist, lowering it a little at the same
time, shake in some fine soil with the
left hand, and repeat the operation until
the roots are all in. The turning of the.
plant distributes the roots and etakes up
the slack" or surplus length. After q
few trials the experimenter viii be able
to do it nicely without examining on
crowding the roots. Do not keep newly
potted plants too wet.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Keep eggs in a cool dry place till

Lice multiply quickly, and constant
care is required to keep poultry clear OF
them during warm weather. Good
pyrethrum or buhach powder thoroughly
busted into their feathers is a preven-
tive for the several sorts of lice on
chickens.
According to the american C~ultipator
many instances have occurred where cat

while if the leaves are eaten green they
seldom produce injurious effects.

IUnearthIna Ancient Skeletons.

A most remarkable story reached Den
yer from Aspen, Col, regarding an un'
expected find in one of the principal
mines ON the Aspen Mountain. On q
recent Thursday night the night shift in
the Minnie mine, Messrs. Donnelly,
Maekey, Taylor and Gilillan, put in two
thirty-inch holes in the breast of the
400-foot level, and fired the blast just
before leaving for the surface. On re-
turning to the mine it was found that
the two shots had broken into a cave,
which they explored.
Going in a few feet they found the
walls covered with crystalized lime and
lead that glittered like diamonds. Here
and there little stalactites hung from the
ceiling. The lime formation resembled
lace and frieze work Of wondrous beauty.
The ave had a descent of about twenty
degrees, and they found rooms and
chambers grand beyond description.
They had entered about 200 feet when
they found a flint axe. A little further
was a pool of fresh water, and a strong
current of fresh air was felt. Further on
a chamber was discovered covered with
q brownish muck that was sticky. Gil.
fllan, who was in the lead, suddenly
stopped and said:
ssThere sits a boy"
Sure enough there sat a human form.
The head was resting on the knees, and
the arms were drawn around the legs,
Indian fashion. A stone bowl and axe
were found beside the figure. The body
was well preserved, but in trying to lift
it one arm broke off. Other bodies in
different attitndes re. found ies.the

A A woNDRoUs PETTIcoAT.

A Paris correspondent tells of a petit
coat which has set that city to gossiping.
1t is accumulation of silk, flowers and
lace, and for which was paid the fabul-
:ous sum Of $4,000. Rumor has it that
it was purchased by an American Cresus
and Frenchmen are congratulating them
selves that their countrywomen, however
eccentric, never tempted them to commit
such a piece of extravaganza. The
Cresus may have some trouble with the
customs on his arrival in America, as the
lowers and lace are put on this now cele-
brated petticoat in such a profusion that
4 suspicion of smuggling may i%nvoluntar-
lily find room in the mind of the matter
of-fact officer. But the purchaser will
10 doubt be able to prove his honesty of
purpose in importing the article. This
which actually wa sold for the
yum named above, is but an exaggerated
sample of those now worn by women of
wealth and fashion. The rarest Of laces
and rich fabrics are none too good for
this garment, which vies in elegance with
the handsomest costumes, even with
those worn at that other great event, the
Grand Prix, at which the beauty and
wealth of all lands are represented

where are it's good effects better shown
than in the vineyard. Mr.. Powell be
lieves that with some varieties he has
gained three weeks time by thinning and
this may often be a question of crop OF
no crop.
The idea is general hat water teaches
down SO rapidly through sandy soil that
it takes all the elements of fertility out
of the reach of farm crops. Mirror and
Farmer thinks there is strong evidence
on the other side of the case and asserts
it as a fact that men who have the couT-
age to pillow manure into SANDY Sc. get
better crops than when they leave it on

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
HANDLING GRAIN UNBOUND.

I have handled grain loose and will
tell what l know about it, says an Idaho
farmer. In the first place, grain can be
put up loose as cheaply as bound, even if
the Irvine were furnished free. We cut
Our grain with a side delivery, self rake
machine. We use wooden barley forks
for loading, and a basket rack for haul
ing. Two men drive the team and wagon
down through the field and take about
eight rows at a time, throwing the gavels
in the rack. We start the rick about ten
Or twelve feet square, build it up to the
square and then start another bent be-
hind that, topping out the first from the
second, and continue, making the rick as
long as you like it. Stacking in this way
makes it handy to pitch to the thresher.
In threshing, a larger table than ordina-
rily is used, and a table tender stands in
the place of the band cutter. With a
short, blunt tinted fork he passes the
loose grain to the feeder. No more men
are needed on the stack than when the
grain is bound, and we feed it to the ma
chine just as fast. We handle wheat and
oats in this way, but for barley we use a
header. The barley forks we use have a
handle about as long as a common fork,
and wooden tines, slightly crooked, about
two and a half feet long.

LADIES' COLUMN.
STYLES IN HAIR DRESSING.

The classical arrangement of the hair
is said to be more and more coming to
the front. Whether properly carried out
or not, there is still visible the desire to
initiate the styles that were in vogue long
ago; consequently all sorts and kinds of
pretty concentrations are being daily in
vented to suit theprevaillng taste. In place
of the now Anticipated ostrich aigrettes,
deft lisse and tulie bows are to be had in
all colors. Some have sprays of ivy
twisted into them in such a manner that
their effect is that of the outstanding os-
prey; others have the bows springing
from cleverly made-up rosettes of gold
guipure; but one and all are made so as
to fasten into the side of a we'll curled or
raised couture, and they look wonder
fully well for wear with theatre going or
OF ordinary evening gowns.-New York
Mercury.

The adoption of Q system of internal

Anime Funerals.
Magazine

A clue to the origin OF the Irish wake
and other funeral composites, may be
found In the funeral customs of ome OF
the Alpine regions. The circle of ac-
quaintance of the more prosperous peo-
pie of the villages often extends over
miles Of country; and the friends of a
deceased proprietor win make long jour
neys to attend his funeral. The dictates
Of hospitality uequire that their physical
wants be provided for, or, if not, they
will meet at the inn and naturally have
something very like a feast. In some
districts, even before death occurs and
the patient is in his last agonies, all
around are informed of the fact, and ex-
pected to make a ceremonial last visit.
They enter the sick room, take a long
look at the dying man and 60 their ways.
After death, when the body has been
prepared for burial, a table is spread
covered with refreshments, and open
house is held till the funeral.-Neao York

The Sledue and the Deer.

The body of the sledge, which the reis"
deer pulls, is placed very high on a pair
of long thin runners, having a gradua:
curve and projecting about four feet be-
yond the actual sledge, so that they break
the shock when the sledge is being
driven over rough ground. All the parts
of the sledge are dashed together with
reindeerskin thongs, and it is owing to
the great elasticity and pliancy thereby
given to the whole fabric that these
dimsy constructions resist the very rough
treatment to which they are as a fule
subjected. The method of Harvesting
the deer is of the simplest; a broad
leather hoop passes round the neck; to
this is fastened the. long thong, which
serves as a trace, and which passes down
the chest between the fore legs and out
between the hind legs. The driving is
done with a single rein, which is fastened
to a crooked piece of bone or wood, fast
ened Immediately over the ball of the
eye, one of the tenderest parts in the
reindeer, and which, if scientifically
jerked to the right or left, causes the an
imal to answer to the rein very quickly.
The outside deer ON the near side is the
only one provided with this arrangement,
and the biggest and oldest deer are al
ways placed in this responsible position,
the others being kept to their work by
the "chave," or long driving pole. A
good ''leading" deer is the most valuable
of a samoyede's possessions, and will Of
ten cost as much as three or four ordinary
deer. The usual number of deer har-
messed to a sledge is three, but this, of
course, varies according to the weight
carried, age of the deer, ete.-Mwyay's
Magazine.
