A HELP FOR THE KITCHEN MAID.

We have made the discovery lately,
which it seems now we ought to have
made sooner. that the top of the average
kitchen stove is too little elevated above
the floor and that there is in consequences
good deal of backache and other dis
comfort inflicted upon the cook, because
80 much of her work has to be done IN a
STOPPING posture. Rather we should
say, perhaps, that We have discovered a
remedy for the trouble which we have
borne for many years, and which We
hasten to make known to others in the
hope of lessening their troubles. Our
remedy is simply lifting the stove upon
platform which will raise it to such a
height that will bring the cooking uten
siIs, when on the stove, within easy reach
to one standing in an erect or nearly
erect posture.
In our case this required a platform
about nine inches in depth, aud, to save
the trouble and expense of procuring a
carpenter to build it, we secured an
empty packing box of the requisite size
from the grocer, az cost OF Only ten
cents Brushed over with same staining
material corresponding with the color OF
the floor, our platform looked neat and
as though an established part of the
room. The only additional expense ii
volved was that of adjusting the stove
pipe to the new conditions. The top OF
the stove is now as high as the kitchen
table or little higher, and the cook and
every one who has occasion to use the
stove are delighted with the change and
the greatly iightened labor.-Emily b.

THE BRAKEMAN'S PERIL,

When they carried a man out of the
Union depot aud put him in an ambu
lance recently, there WAS not much ex
element or interest in the case. whats
the matter with him?" "Oh, he's 6
brakeman; he is hurt in some way.
Question, careless in the extreme; ans
wer, half uniutelIigible, Oh account of its
coming ont swollen, as it were, through
tremendous yarn. Why, railroaders
carry their lives in their hands-until
their arms are ground off between freight
cars. Then they do as we'll ms they can
without arms until they happen to be
squeezed on the ribs with fatal results.
Take ride or walk through any Of
the railroad yards in Pittsburg and AL
legheny, and note the number of manned
signal and switch men that are employ
ed. 1t is safe to say that they have all
been freight brakemen at some time or
other, and having become partly dis
abled in the service of the company,
have been given positions that they can
fill as well as men perfectly equipped in
the matter of arms and legs.
1t is standing joke that every other
man with the least pretensions to me

some of these car couplers could be utll
lied in saving the lives of men who,
under the present barbarous system, are

men was stopped, in the name of civil
cation if not of common humanity

THE CANALS OF MARS.

AS to the nature of the canals, it is
still more difficult to suggest any salts
factory explanation. Several hypothes g..
have been presented, none of which ap
pears entirely to meet the case. have
already remarked that there has lot be en-
lacking the sugge stion that these curio us
streaks represent the lines of actual att
fetal water courses On Mars. The
straight and undertaking course VIII CHI
they pursue might be regarded as lend-
ing some degree of probability to such a
view; but the enormous scale on which
they exist seems TO compel the rejection
OF the hypothesis. 1t is true that, if we
consider only the Influence of the force
of gravity on Mars, giants could dwell
upon that planet whose mechanical
achievements might vastly surpass the
greatest performances of our engineers;
for body weighing ton on the earth
would only weigh seventy hundred and
sixty pounds on Mars. and, on the other
hand, a man on Mars possessing relative
~ the same activity as one of US might
be fifteen feet tall and s'rong 10 pro Dor
ton. But, even granting the existence
of such a race of Goliaths on our neigh
Dor world, it is not conceivable that they
could have constructed a system of ire
mendous canals over half the surface of
their planet. or that they would have
done it if they could. The canals of
Mars are enormously disproportioned in
magnitude to the gigantic inhabitants
that due regard for the law of gravita-
ton would suffer US to ina zine there.-

PLUMS FOR MARKET.
How To Attain Success With This Very
Capricious Fruit.

Numbered among instructive papers
read before the Western New York Hor-
ticnltural society was one by S. ID. VIII
lard, of Geneva, on the cultivation of
pluns for market. In this great stress
was laid on the fact that success can
only be gained when good trees of varie-
ties suited to particular locality are Sc
lected: when these varieties are adapted
to the local market: when the orchard is
carefully cultivated and literally fed and
when Il constant watchfulness is exercis-
ed against the attacks of insects and dis
eases.
The plum is capricious in It's likes and
dislikes and very often a variety which
does well III one locality will fail few
miles away on soil of apparently the same
kind. Markets are quite as variable. In
one Damsons are more highly priced than
choicer sorts, while in neighboring town
ColoTed varieties are required to the ex-
clusion OF all others. The selection of
varieties, therefore, depends on the pro-
per solution of very many problems, and
yet these points, which are vital to sue
cess, must be settled beforehand by the
planter from such observations and IN
| formation as are within his reach.
Against the curculio the Earring pro-
| cess has proved satisfactory. If spray
| ing with the arsenites is tried, care should
! be taken to use a solution as weak as
| possible, because the foliage of the plum
| is easily injured. The green apis is often
| more destructive than the curculio even,
| sometimes defoliating entire orchards.
Professor Cook feels certain, however,
| that the kerosene emulsion dashed forci-
bly, upon the tree by pump through one
of the new spraying nozzles will overcome
| this pest

SPIRITS OF THE SEA.

Hauled up on the sandy beach near
the foot of Ocean street are two old
whale boats which, although in fair con-
dition, are eloquent liz the evidence of
long service and dumb rehearsal of soul
stirring scenes and perils amid solitude
and ice, guided by brave men who iso-
late themselves from home, friends and
comfort in pursuit of a noble calling
whose once bright light now burns so
dimly; they are saturated through with
the romance of the deep which surrounds
one like fog, and mans the battle scar

whose powerful breasts, now silent.

QUEER BIRD NESTS.

Birds have some queer fancies in Sc
lecting spots for building their nests.
Some time ago, near Seaville, New Jer-
sew. / noticed in grove of oaks, that
nearly every tree had an old tin can nail
ed up in it. / found on examination that
the cans were all occupied by wrens and
bluebirds. But what attracted my at
tention most was an old boot fastened in
one of the trees. As / approached it a
bluebird flew out, and although it was
twenty five feet from the ground, I
climbed up and saw inside five young
birds comfortably sitting in the nest.
/ once found a vertiable tower nest,
built by pair of robins. They had
built nest in cedar tree, aud it had
been found unsuitable for some reason
that they alone knew. Immediately
afterwards they built a second one on
top of it, and still being unsatisfed, they
built third one. But they were very
hard to please, for still another nest was
constructed on top of the third Que, and
fifth On top of the fourth, before they
were coutented to begin housekeep ng.
Not long after that four little heads were
peeping over the edge of their lofty
home.
An old gentleman once told me that
his wife, on a certain wash day, missed
lace cap that she had hung out on the
line aad fastened with a clothes pin.
Several days afterwards, when walking
in his garden, he noticed something
white huttering in the branches of a
cherry tree, and an examination showed
that pair of robins had taken the cap
from the line and fastened it among the
twigs and grass of their nest. The birds
bad undoubtedly pulled the c"p from
the prorgs of the clothes pin ior they
could not otherwise have q, ..ned it.
They were left in undisturbed p1ssession
of their prize.
A pair of sparrows in Central park
New York, have regularly, for several
years, built their nest and reared their
young ones in the right hand of Daniel
Webster's statue. But a stranger place
than that has been used by pair in
CLEARING Cross, London, for six years
past. These brave little fellows have
made their home right in the mouth of 6
lion-but the lion is made of stone.-

WOMEN AS GRAPE GROWERS. mem
Der of the late meeting of the Western
New York Horticultural society called
attention to the vineyard as one of the
most promising occupations for women.
This member not only made the sugges
ton that women can take care of vine
yards but cited successful examples OF
their management. In the Chautauqua
vineyards much of the work is done by
women While some of the heavier la
Dor must be performed by men, there is
much left that women aud even children
can do. Tying up vines, pinching OF
buds, thinning and bagging fruit, har
vesting the crop and packing it for ship
ping, is all work sufficiently light to come
within tie capacity of women in average
health and strength.

To Stop a RUNAWAY HORSE The
Russian method for stopping runaway
horse is said to be very effective. and is
not particularly cruel. They place a
cord with a running knot around the
1orse's neck near the neck strap. To
his slip moose attach pair of reigns,
which may be thrown over the dashboard
ready to be seized at once. When the
horse starts take up the extra reins.
