Sad Romance of an Old Woman Who Sells
Flowers on COney Island.
There is a woman OF sixty odd years,
with gray-blue eyes and face that is
an iliad OF pain, who brings birch bark
baskets filled with goldenrod and bright
milAweeds and cardinal flowers Tor sale

ton beaches Her story is a romance,
one of two that have known. The
first is bright colored history OF man
who drove drays on the Bowery and
now is a college professor; the second is
a dun-colored tale OF grief from begin
ming to end.
The flower seller was young wife
with one child when the German revo-
lutionists of 1S4S woro exiled. Her
husband was banished under the de-
cree. He came to America promising
to send for her as soon as he found
work and home He had not cent
OF money to leave her. so he took the
boy, relieving her of the support of the
child. In a year she received her pass.

trail New York from which his letters
had been directed. No husband was
there. He had left with his son two
weeks previous to be on hand at the ar
rival OF the vessel.
No word from him had she ever
from that day. What mischance befei
him, for she secuted the whisper OF
unfaithfulness, is the question she has
brooded over for forty years. She hal
washed and sewed to keep body and
soul together, and now she wanders
the meadows for marsh rosemary and
bright-hued wild flowers and arranges
them in canoe-shaped bark baskets fol

say she is not quite right in her mind.
She is always in hurry to be away
from you as If in search Of some one,
and her face always wears tho same
troubled, pathetic, appealing express

for news that never came.
She is rather tall in stature. with
the slightest of stoops, her skin is pale
but clear, and TO SEQ her eyes is to be

When you speak to her she smiles
with a quick sense OF gratitude for a
moment of human companionship, but
at once she is gone; she has no tims

"A good pig should average about

Onion Culture at the South.

When reading in the Southern agri-
cultural papers the statements that
onions could not be grown from the
black seed, we have wondered If such
we're actually the case, and were there
fore particularly interested in the ar.
ticle on Onion Culture by Mr..
Stokes. of North Carolina. Il ape
pears by the article mentioned that
there is no trouble in growing fine
onions in that State from the black
seed. Mr.. Stokes fertilized his soil
we'll and secured a crop. Is it not
possible that the trouble has rested
quite largely upon this one pOintP
The onion is a strong feeder and re-
quires a good soil; that is. one that
has good degree Of fertility, and IL
this is not a natural condition, 1t must
be made so by artificial application.
Almost any good. mellow soil, possess
ing requisite fertility, will grow onions
at the South, il they are properly at
tended to. In our climate it is best to
plant the seed as soon as the soil is
suitable after the departure Of the
frost
At the South we should expect to be
compelled to plant as much early as
the changed conditions required. In
Georgia, for instance, planting in Feb
ruary ought to secure good crop, all
other things being equal. The onion
does best with culture and FREQ stir
ring of the soil, although it does not
require. the soil TO be drawn up to the
plants, unless speedy bottoming is re-
quired, when we have Thought that BY
throwing up the soil by the use Of the
Planet Jr. wheel, even this end was
accomplished, at the expense of size
of the bulb. Top draining is good,
and we have employed ashes with
good results; in fact, hardwood ashes
are an excellent fertilizer for the
onion crop under most conditions.
Successful onion culture requires
some skill We have known the cul-
tivation, by those accustomed to the
same, to be a complete failure with
full average conditions. The onion is
crop that can be grown year after
year upon the same plat OF ground
with success. WIN. IL. Yoemans, in

Ventilation and Cleanliness in Stable.

When winter approaches the
thoughtful man begins to think Of the
dangers of an unventilated house in
which he is to live, and the vast ma
jority Of our houses have nothing that
can be reasonably called ventilation.
He knows that the house is to be shut
up, and that all the impurities pwill
be confined; and he will not rest until
he secures such ventilation as win
make the house as safe to live in as It is
in the summer when the windows and
doors are open. But there are many
who never think of the stables
in which the animals are kept. These
are closed up in winter, too. They
have no veDtilation, and the horse is
in them a much larger proportion Of
the time than he is in summer. It re-
quires little thought to guess the re-
suit. And it is not a matter of wonder
that horse that is kept in an i'll
ventilated and imperfectly cared for
stable gets sick, but it is a matter Of
wonder that he does not die. There is
not a universal agreement as to the
best kind of floor to put into stable.
But whatever the floor is, the stable
should be kept clean. We all know
the nature OF horse manure. It is heat
producing. and naturally powerful
source of gases. To one unaccustomed
to It, the entrance into stable in
which the manure is permitted to lie
is enough to take the breath; and yet
the horse that is kept In such a stable
is compelled to breathe this vitiated az
mospnere all the time. Stalls should
not only be cleaned every day, but
they should be arranged so as to admit
the sunshine. Nothing is so purifying
as the rays OF the sun, and If the stalls
can be 50 arranged as to admit these
rays, especially in the morning a
cheap dislnfectant and a cheap pre-
yantivs sf disease viii be secured.

How to Apply Them for tho Purpose OF
Preserving Wood.
The practice, first adopted many
years ago, of using petroleum to pre-
serve wood structures, has gradually
extended of late years, and many now
employ it. But from the frequent in
quiries made, it is obvious that its use
is not properly understood. Many mis-
takenly suppose that it is to be applied
to the surface of the wood like paint,
and some wish to employ pigment and
make of it nothing but paint. It's
operation is quite different from that Of
paint. 1t does not remain on the
surface like a coat OF paint, but pene-
trates the pores of the wood, and if a
sufficient quantity is applied, converts
perishable wood to a nature nearly as
durable as cedar Those who use it
commly apply it too thinly. 1t may be
laid on heavily with coarse white
wash brush, and it soon sinks and en-
ters the wood, and whore much exposed
two or three coats will be better. if ap-
piled at intervals of few days.
Its operation is the opposite of that
of coal or gas tar. which remains on
the surface. Petroleum is, best for
wood exposed to the weather. or to
alterations OF sunshine and storms;
coal tar succeeds we'll if applied to
wood in moisture and shade, as fence
posts, or Underground structures. Su-
perfcially or carelessly used, neither
of them succeed we'll on fence posts.
The coal tar should be applied hot so
as to form perfect casing. Petroleum
should be repeatedly applied. SO as to
penetrate the wood perfectly 1t will
then render the wood very durable.
For shingles. they should be dipped in
a tub OF the petroleum. Whether used
for shingles. siding or fences, the coat
ing should be repeated every eight or
ten years. Coal tar Injuries shingles
by becoming hot and warping in the
suns rays, as well as other wooden
structures. A strong recommendation
of petroleum is its cheapness The
light oil is best, both on account Of
color and penetrating the wood, but a
small portion OF the heavy oil mixed
with it is best. Country Gentleman.
