he very often emuistes the prince Of Wales and
takes public hanson instead Of the snowy

careful and exact manner. For instance, II
four Or I'VE tradesmen compete for his custom
week at time. He insists upon paying his
bills upon the lst of the month, exacts the
usual discount for cash and, il 10 said, that the
fact that an account has run over for q month

HOW HE DRESSES.
The prime minister's valet il not kept very
busy as a rule, for Salisbury il one of the most
methodically dressed men in England. He
invariably wears a silk hat, a black frock suit.
and, even in summer, he carries what is known
as Chesterfield overeoat. About o'clock
half an hour or so before iuncheon-the minis
ters private secretary calls at Arlington street
and starts the business of the day. After an
hour with him Lord Salisbury goes of to his
diately afterward. He is keen and enthusiast
TIC student OF electricity and does a great deal
OF reading at night His family Ia a happy and
united one. and whenever Lady Salisbury goes
to the theater without the premier he is sure
to go and fetch her personally after the play
Is over. he Is regular church goer and
great crony of the bishops at his club, but the
Salisbury of the church and of the home is a
very different person from the Salisbury of the
cabinet. II is said that that which his confreres
dread most is the moment when the prime
minister makes up his mind, for, having once
reached conviction on any one subject, it is
almost impossible to move him, no matter how
plausible the arguments or how much evidence
they may be able to lay before him.

OATMEAL AS FOOD,
What Physician has to Say About the
Popular Cereal.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Oatmeal has recently received some adverse
criticisms. This Is not surprising a. no food
article is just the thing in every case or at all
times. Our daily experiences convince us of
such truth by likes and dislikes for very COM
mon and the most wholesome foods. 1t is
diet One thing may be jus. adapted TO the
state of the ENTHUSIASTICALLY and mentally
at one time and not at some other, while with
another person 1t may never agree. Without
entering into lengthy uninteresting details,
chemistry, physiology and experience all prove
oatmeal one of the most valuable cereal foods
for producing good muscles and clear heads.
Why, then, il il frequently found TO disagree?
It is easily answered By being used almost
exclusively - mush II II swallowed 90 easily
that it ID not properly mixed with the saliva-
the first step, for digestion. When there Is
also . very weak or no digestion
II any soft food, mush or toast, &C., il swal-
lowed too rapidly, or any food Is washed down
with tea. coffee, milk, wine or water, some de-
gree Of Indigestion il thereby produced sooner
or later, - often shown by q sense Of fulness,
discomfort, belching and other disturbaRces.
II there b . LACK Of saliva. or that Of proper
quality, il b often best to eat some hard kind
Of bread, or the thin, hard Scotch oatmeal
bread, bread crus>s, rusks, &C., when the
teeth admit Of Il. and very slowly, TO thus
naturally increase the amount and quality Of
saliva. Such course 10 often better and .
safer corrective than al the drugs in the ooun-
correct living. The best physicians are those
who recognise this fact and ~ 70 tssch Il TO
such pstisns - ass wiss snough - employ

LOSS OF ROOTS.
Pear RipeninR.

Those who have new varieties OF pears must
bear in mind that many OF them will never ex-
hibit their excellent qualities, unless picked
just before maturity, and the ripening COM
pleted in the house. Not only must all those
liable to core-rct be treated in this way but
many others. In some cases, certain varieties
should be gathered two or three weeks before
ripe, to prevent insipidity. Nearly all pears
ripen better in dark room. IL left on the
tree to ripen they begin to rot or decay on one
side before they are fully ripe. and very little
fancy fruit can be gathered for the market
in this way. In gathering the fruit care should
be taken to break the stem off close up 10 the
limb This, besides making the pear keep
better, gives it better salable appear
ance when displayed for sale. Bruised
and creased fruit should be separated from the
uninjured pears. A dark room with news
papers spread on the floor is the best place for
pears to ripen. After maturity is reached
in pears decay begins to set In at once, and in
a very short time they become rotten and unit
for use. Being a soft fruit they will then easily
mush up and breed decay in others around.
II gathered for the market the fancy fruit
should be separated from the others while
green, carefully sorted and wrapped in tissue
paper. Pack them carefully in layers in bar
rels or crates and stamp name and mark on the
box. BY taking great care with the fruit one
gets a name for producing nothing but the best
that will bring in better returns.

The Wind and the Lily.

The lily lifted her milk white bloom,
And she freighted the air with a soft perfume,
And warm wind came from the sultry vale,
And ne kissed her petals 70 pure and pale
With q fearless heart she reared her head,
For she thought there WAS naught from the wind
70 dread:
And she wrapped her round In her spotless pride,
While she shed her fragrance on every side.
Then the wind grew stronger and warmer stiu,
And he kissed her cup with IN ardent will
And her petals dropped In the burning air,
While her beauty vaned with mute despair.
Ihen the Wind passed BY with . careless smile,
And he sought new buds In q little while
Yet he gave no wealth 10 the perfect hover.
Bus he took nom her beauty, end pride, and power
Ipondsred the lesson In thoushtfui fashiou.
The LILY was virtue. the wind was pAssAoa.

Notes About Roses.

Tea roses that are forced during the winter
often have to be turned out of doors during part
Of the summer for want of room, otherwise il
would be better to keep them under glass. The
leaves formed in the winter are very tender and
as exposed to the open air luxuriant crop of
mildew follows. If this parasite is allowed to
infest the plant at this season Of the year the
roses will not flower much next winter. As
soon as any curled or slightly curied leaves
appear sulphur should be sprinkled over them.
Red spiders and aphide should also be
prevented from getting a foothold on the
plants. If the plants are kept free from these
enemies the roots will get q good start. and
even if the head does not grow much good fiow-
ering plants will be had next winter. In pot
ting them pack the soil compsctly around the
roots, for roses will bear harder packing than
most plants. Strong loan of a rich heavy ma
ture bed suits roses. All of the thin wood that
is too weak to produce shoots sufficiently strong
to flower can be pruned away at the time of
potting. In dry weather syringe overhead
freely. If possible plunge the pots in ashes to
keep more equable temperature for the roots.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Valuable Information About Trees,
Plants and Flowers.

Autumn transplanting Of fruit and other
trees is still practiced by horticulturists. and
there are many advantages in doing the work
at this particular time. The trees that were
set last autumn viii now require little special
attention, and il should be given TO
them before any new trees are set
The soil around their roots has become
solid and compact, and in order for
the tree to grow freely this crust should be
broken. Many fruit trees show signs of dying
from drought during August; but such disaster
can be averted by msllowing the ground around
the trees, which will act the same as mulch
and prevent the roots from becoming dry. The
soil should be stirred frequently so as to keep
OF weeds and grass. A good surface harrow
is of inestimable value in the orchard, as it
will often grind up top-dressing and work it
into the soil
LOSS OF ROOTS.
In digging up the trees for transplanting,
many of the roots are necessarily cut and the
growth Of the trees are thus partly checked
To correspond with this partial loss of roots the
heads of the young trees should be reduced by
cutting back or thinning out the young shoots.
This should not be done, however, until after
the fruit Of the trees have all matured
and the leaf growths have ceased TO
expand. 1t is great mistake to
perform the pruning while the fruit is still on
the trees and young leaves are still shooting
out 1t gives the trees a severe check in their
growth and robs them of the strength which
they need to prepare them for the severity OF
winter. In fact. shortening back should never
be performed when there is any movement in
the trees toward growing. A. b. BARRETT.

Among the Garden Vegetables.

1t is better for the ground and for the weeds
to plant seeds of some useful vegetable after
the early crops are removed. The fat turnips
make good second crop, which can be planted
with success in August or the first of Septem-
Der. They must grow quickly to be Of any use
and if sown too early they become too large
and coarse for table use. Those that are grown
rapidly in the cool autumn weather make good
eating. About the middle of August a crop of
late peas can be sown. with a succession some
ten days later. Psrsnips and carrots of medium
size should now be thinned to get good sized
ones later in the season.
TOMATO PLANTS.
During the wet, warm weather tomato plants
have been making extraordinary growth, while
setting very little fruit If a sharp spade is
run down beside the plants to prune their
roots better formation Of fruit will follow.
The musk and water melons have also been in
jured by the excessive moisture The best
remedy for them is to pull OF much of the old
fruit and give the young buds a chance to
ripen in the sunny weather which is sure to
follow . long period of rainy weather.
