A NEW LIGHTNING ROD swrxDEE.

Farmers along the Hudson are being
victimized by a new style Of lightning rod
swindle. The agent induces the farmer to
let him put rods on his house, agreeing, on
account of the prominence of the farmer
or the beauty of his farmhouse, to make
him a present of nearly the entire outfit.
The contract is signed, rods put up with
out insulators, and the farmer invited to
go on the roof to test the conducting quail
tiles. A battery is applied from the
ground, and the countryman is thorough
ly satisfied with the shock he receives.
Then comes the request to settle. The
rods are all right as to price, but points to
attract the lightning cost $40 each, and the
farmer, who has not read the contract
through before, learns that he is bound to
pay from $50 to 500 for a set of worthless
lightning rods.

HARDY ROSES.

Harper's Bazar gives the following selee-
tions among hardy roses:
The l~oveliest pale pink hardy roses are
Captain Christy aud Baroness Rothschild.
Both are large; the first-named has soft
crape-liko petals, shell pink, with a deeper
blush at the heart. most lovely. Among
deeper rose pink may be named Paul Ney-
ron, a grand flower, Magma Charta, Anna
Alexieff and Madame Boil.
Among crimsons General Jacqueminot is
usually put first; it is handsome, prolific
and hardy, but one Of its progeny, Marie
Baumann, is far superior. It's companion
is Alfred de Rougemont, the deepest, most
glowing crimson, with petals like velvet.
Forced in a a greenhouse, this rose is nearly
black, but most flowers are much paler
out-of-doors. Senatem Naisse and Rey-
nolds Hole are rich crimsons OF the Jaeque-
mlnot strain. very desirable for the gar
den.
Few single roses are of value in e~altiva-
ton here; the one honorable exception is
the japanese Rosa Rugesa. 1t has hand
some bright green leaves, shiny as if var
nished; the flowers are large and fragrant,
either red or white. IN the autumn the
flowers are succeeded by brilliant scarlet
haws. \ group Of these plants make a
snowy mass in a prominent or exposed
place.
Moss roses and sweetbrier are not seen in
every rosary, though lack of space should
be the only reason for their absence. I'm
fortunately the moss rose is muah addicted
to mildew, bat We all love it in spite of its
faults. 1t requires close pruning and rich
soil, and to be effective should have a bed
to itself.
As for the sweetbrier or ~eglantine, IL is
the sweetest and least pretentious Of all
roses, the emblem of home ana home loves
1t makes an admirable hedge for a rose
garden when well clipped that is, if one is
sufficiently celd-blooded to clip it. The
delicious oslor OF the leaves is most marked
after q summer shower.

PROVOKE NOT.

How do parents provoke their children?
By unreasonable commands, by perpetual
restriction, by capricious jerks at the
bride. alternating with as capricious
dropping of the reins altogether, by not
governing their own tempers, by shrill or
stern tones where quiet, soft ones would do,
by frequent checks and rebukes, and SPAR
ing praise. And what is sure to follow
such mistreatment by father or mother?
Bursts of temper, for which the child is
punished and the parent is guilty, and then
spiritless listlessness and apathy. ST can
not please him whatever / dc" leads to a
ranking sense Of injustice, and then to
recklessness-"it is useless to try any
more And when a child or a man loses
heart, there will be no more obedience.
Many a parent, especially a father, drives
his child into evil by keeping him at a
distance. He should make his boy a
companion and playmate, teach him to
think Of his father as his eonfdant, try to
keep his child nearer to himself thar to
anybody else, and then his authority will
be absolute, his opinions an oracle. and his
lighiest wish a law.-Dr. Alesaader Nae

THE True WIFE.

Ofentimes ] have seen q tall ship glide
by against the tide as if drawn by some in
visible bowline, with a hundred strong
arms pulling it. Her sails were untitled,
her streamers were dropping; she had
neither side-wheel nor stern-wheel; still
she moved Oh stately, in serene triumph, as
with her own life. But I knew, that on
the other side of the ship, hidden beneath
the great bulk that swan so majestically,
there was a little toilsome steam-tug, with
q heart of fire and arms of iron, that was
Juggling it brayelE on; ard I knew if the
little steam-tug untwined her arm, and left
the ship, it would wallow and roll about,
and drift hither and thitner, and go off
with the ~refiuent tide, ne man knows
whittier. And SO | have known more than
one genius, high-decked, full freighted,
full-sailed, g~ay-pennoned, but that for the
bare. toiliDg aims, and brave, w~arm-beat-
ing heart Of the faithful little wife that
nestles close to him. so that no wind or
wave could part them, would have gone
down with the stream, and have been heard
of no more.-O. ". Holmes.

PEOPLE FRET TOO MUCH ABOUT
TRIPLES.

Women find a sea Of trouble in their
housekeeping. Some one says they often
put as much worry and anxiety into a loaf
Of bread, a pie, a cake, into the weekly
washing and ironing, as should suffice for
much weightier matters. Suppose these
things go wrong to-day, the to-morrows
are coming in which to try again, and the
thing is not worth clouding your own
spirit and those around you, i~njuring our
self and them physically-for the mind eff
feets the body-and for such a trife.
When 2 thing is beyond repair, waste no
useless regrets over it and do no idle fret
ting. Strive for that serenity OF spirit
that will enable you to make the best of
all things. That means contentment in
its best sense.

Probably one Of the most common head
aches, if not the most common, is that called
nervous. The class of people who are
most subject TO it are certainly not your
outdoor workers. If ever my old friend
the gardener had had a headache it would
not have been one of this description. Nor
does Darby, the plowmsn, nor Jarvey, the
'busman, nor Greatfoot, the granger suffer
from nervous headache, nor any one else
who leads al outdoor life, or who takes
plenty Of exercise in the open air. But
poor Matte, who slaves away her days in
a stuffY Diapers shop, ahd JEANNE in her
lonesome attic, bending oyer her white
seam-stitch, stitch, stiteh-till far into the
night, and thousands Of others Of the indoor
working class are martyrs to this form of
headache. Are they alone in their misery9
No; for MY Lady Bonhomme, who comes
to have her ball-dress fitted on, has often
a deep fellow-feeling with Jeannie and
Matte. Her, however, we cannot afford to
pity quite so much, because she has the
power to change her modus yiyendi when
she chooses. What are the symptoms of
this complaint that makes your head ache
SO? You will almost know 1t is coming
from a dull, perhaps sleepy feeling. You
have no heart and little hope, and you are
restless at night. Still more restless,
though, when it comes on in full force, as
then for nights, perhaps, however much
you may wish to, scarcely can you sleep at
all.
GLOW my poor head does ache,'' This
You will say often enough; sadly to your
self, and nopelessly to those near you, from
whom 0 expect no sympathy and. get
none. And yet the pain is bad to bear,
although it is generally confined to only
one part of The head. The worst Of this
fern Of headache lies in the fact that it is
periodic. Well, as it arises from unnatural
habits of life Or peculiarities Of constitu-
tion, this ~periodicity is no more than we
might expect. If 1 just note down some
of the most ordinary causes of nervous

RUMBLE BEES F0R AUSTRALIA.

Joseph Mcdonald, who lives near Lex
ington, Ky, wants to buy 500 0 worth of
Kentucky humble bees that understand
the management of clover. They are to be
sent to Australia to assist in growing
clover there by carrying the pollen from
bloom to bloom. A gentleman who came
from Australia last Fall and bought some
stock from Mr.. Mcdonald made the ar
rangement with him to supply him with
the humble bees, and they will probably
be gathered from the crop of this season.

joaquin Miller writes TO the Independent
that he is making no money out of his
California ranch. He has 100 acres and
cannot make a living for his family on the
land for which be paid 5000 an acre. He
IS growing oranges, bananas and olives,
but the profits are small. Some of Miller's
neighbors make a little money out of eggs,
butter and vegetables, but generally only
the big fruit and vineyard men make any
money out of the soil in California. Mil
Ter once lived in Florida, and it is his
opinion that California will never be able
to compete with that State. Nature irri-
gates the Florida orchard and that is nc
small saving. a full sized orange tree re-
quires a barrel of water every ten days
and to supply this six months of the year,
artificially, is no small task. For one, we
think more of the pig pens and corn cribs
OF Nebraska than of the orange orchards
and grape vineyards of California. There
is lots of climate. though, over there, if

Where all might dwell i'll liberty.
Free from the bitter misery
of gossips' endless prattling.

While every one would soon forgive

And he offended never.
IT'S mischiefmakers that remove
Ear from our hearts the warmth OF love,
And lead US all to disapprove
What gives another pleasure.
They seem TO take ones part, but when
They've heard orr cares, unkindly then
They soon retail them all again.
Mixed with their poisonous measure.
And then they've such a cunning way
oftelling ill-meant tales; they say:
"Don't mention what I've said. I pray;

Straight to your neighbor's house they &c
Narrating everything they know,
And break the peace of high and low,
Wife, husband, friend, and brother.
Oh, that the misunderstanding crew
Were all reduced to n ortwo,
And they were painted red or blue,
That every one might know them,
Then would onr villagers forget
To rage and quarrel, fnnae and fret,
or fail into an angry pet
With things so much below them.
