Floral Notes.

There are frequently a few more seeds
in paper than one cares to SOW, and
there are always barren, unused spots
that may be beautified with ten minutes
work.
Wick calls attention to the desirabil,ty
of the single dahlias which comprise an
extensive range of color, and are there
fore very effective Regarding two other
old fashioned flowers he says: Put a
cluster of sunfowers in some corner of
the fence, group of hollyhocks where
an old tree has been cut and the stump
has gone to decay. Enough cannot be
said in favor of the magnificent double
hollyhocks, they are SO brilliant and dec
orative on the lawn and SO useful in the
house, a large japanese jar with two or
three stalks of harmonious or suitably
contrasted hollyhoeks forms decoration
rot to be rivaled by any expensive ar
rangement of the florist.
The violet family domesticates easily,
and none better than the lovely sweet
scented white variety Canadensis.

Professor Cook advises one pouAl of the

Care of the Young Chicks.

Remember that during the first twen-
ty-four hours the chicks do not really
require any food. The hen should be
thoroughly cleaned of vermin with in
sect powder and placed with her brood
when all are Matched. Bread crumbs
and chopped egg may now be placed
within her reach. For day or two don't
trouble the flock with over attention. A
good mother is one which doesn't fuss
much but attends to lowering and keep
ing the chicks warm-for warmth is alb
solutely essential. After the first two
days the hen may be cooped, the chicks
being allowed free egress. The coop
should stand on dry, sheltered run,
out of cold winds, ON sandy soil, if pos
sible. If the coop is under cover, sun
light should be secured through glass.

Curing Clover Hay.

An attendant at one of the Wisconsin
farmers cluSs. told how he cures clover
hay. He cuts it in the morning after the
dew is OF. turns it over at noon. puts it
in haycochs in the afternoon. and Gov
ers it with hay caps made of cotton
cloth on, and IL half or two yards square.
These caps are spread over the clover
and the corners fastened to the ground

dition it is left for three or four days,
when. by The airing it gets in hauling, it
is in fine condition for hay, keeps well
and is free from dust.

June IL was brothers night i'm Golden

And, indeed, they could not have had
much assistance had they wished. for
there were only three sisters present.

was discussed and Brother George Car
penter read a paper upon the Darien Can
al and its first protector. The lecturer

The grange recognizes the fact that
men honestly differ in their opinions up
on certain questions particularly those of
political or religious nature, and it very
wisely gives its members the widest lati-
tude in these directions, but at the same
time in its general features temperance
and morality are taught as cardinal prin-
ciples of the organization.
Comparatively few men can bear dis
enlargement for any length of time. If
engaged in any given work or enterprise
and adverse circumstances arise or I'M
favorable conditions intervene the ten
dency of human nature is to give up even
if victory is assured in the end. This
truth is most notably illustrated in the
history of the grange movements, when
in the time of adversely thousands turned
their backs on the grange and threw the
burdens on a comparatively few strong
but willing shoulders. All honor to the
noble men and women who laughed at
discouragements and heroically faced the
enemy and turned the tide of public opin-
ion in the right direction.
Men of radical views are wont to call
the national grange d conservative body
WHICH, Is uuW lllluS, W dSSuIIlC IcSpOHSl-
bility and lead off in given direction.
These men have but little knowledge of
what they say. 1t is true that the national
grange is, and of necessity must be, a
conservative body. It has to deal with
questions of the most complicated nature,
and among its members are men of ex-
IRENE views in regard to many of the
current and leading questions of the day
questions which are not intimately con
nected with the real objects of the grange,
but upon all questions relating to the
interests of farmers and their rights as
such, the national grange takes a decided
stand and its members shirk no response
bility.
The farmers millennium in this cOun-
try has not yet arrived, and it will never
come until the farmers have II broader
and clearer conception of their rights and
duties as citizens than they do at the
present time. When the grange has COM
pleted its work as an educator, when it
has taught all of its members the true
! principles of government and the abso-
lutte necessity of united action, when it
has disarmed the farming community of
its prejudices and jealousies, when broth
erly love in its truest sense shall become
predominant in the hearts and minds of
farmers, then-then will be no necessity
for the grange to institute a political
party. 1t will become an Irresistible;
power, a party of itself, moved and con-
trOlled by its own inherent force.

Suayeness.

The suaveness OF manner is more of
an acquired habit than gift, as is
demonstrated in the ex-street arab.
He lived from hand TO mouth, was kick
ed here and there and associated with
the basest criminal as well as the lord
of society. He heard the vilest excla-
nations from Che alcoholic lips of the
drunkard, as well as the deceptive
murmurs of the swell resident of n
twelve story fiat. The urchin having
risen from the gutter is imbued with
the faculties OF both of the above classes,
which, when placed together and well
shaken constitute an unparalleled cum
ming. The messenger boy has the adj
vantage over his other clan in this par
ticular acquirment, as he visits thewan-
ton, the society belle, the gambler, the
saloon-keeper, the burglar and gentle
man of leisure, giving him twenty per
cent the best of it as far as crude ideas
are concerned. A child who has been
ushered into the world void of the least
spark OF affability, will shortly become
an apt pupil in the worlds school of
scandal, which will develope into the
above characteristics to sharpened
point, which has been illustrated TO the
scanning public for many years in re-
gard to several Kansas City boys.

Beheading a Corpse.

Gle China papers report a case in
which the body of prisoner was be-
headed after death. He was a salt
smuggler, who was concerned in des-
perate fight in the neighborhood Of
Shanghai with the custom officers. He
was captured in badly-wounded con-
dition and died in prison. But as he
had been a desperate smuggler the
magistrate received orders from the SUI
perior authorities that the corpse was
to be decapitated. Nothing was done
during the festivities on the emperor's
birthday, but August 9th at 8 o'clock in
the morning the magistrate, accompan-
led by the captain of the garrison, pro-
ceeded TO the execution ground outside
the west gate OF Shanghai City, where
judicial table and two chairs were
ready for them. The coffin of the
smuggler was then deposited close by,
and after short pause, the magistrate
threw down bamboo slip, on which
the punishment was written, and the
executioner forthwith took out the
body and cut off the head. The latter
was inclosed in a small wooden cage,
which was sent TO be exposed at the
scene OF the crime and the civil and
military mandarins, borne aloft in their
sedan chairs, each returned by differ
ent street to their respective Offices
