she was Yambuya maiden, handsome,

Dummy Clocks.

There are some clocks that tell time
and some that only tell the right time
twice every day. These are the dummy
clocks which jewellers often have for
signs in front of their stores Have
you ever seen them? and, if so, have
you noticed that almost all of them
point to the same time-seventeen
minutes after eight? Perhaps, if you
have thought of them at all, you sup
posed, as | did, that they were made TO
point to any hour that the workman
who made them might fancy, but that
is not so. A gentleman, standing near
one the other day, said, never see
one of these clock-faces that / don't
think of Abraham Lincoln" Why
so?' said his friend. "Because those
clocks mark the hour and moment
when he was shot. The jewelers. AS
ISOLATION after his death decided that
all such clock-faces should be set at
S:l7, and this has been done so gener-
ally since that you scarcely ever see
one which is not in this way sad re-
minder of the tragic death of great
man. "-ChriStidn Advocate.

Care of Glassware.

Since it is the fashion to use a great
deal of glass on the table, the care of
it is matter of some importance to the
sorts of shapes and patterns, from the
simplest to the most elaborate conceiv-
able, and the designs are cleverly imi-
tated in pressed glass; in some cases
so perfectly as to deceive one at the
first glance. Cut glass is valued &C
cording to the depth of the cutting, so
that for the finest kinds of ware the
glass must be made thick. The thicker
it is and the deeper the cutting the
more easily will breaks occur; there
fore, for common use such kinds as are
thin and only slightly cut are by far the
best. In buying pressed glass it is bet
ter to select clear kind of good shape
than an imitation of a fine piece. The
plain glass can be kept clean more
easily and will not break so readily as
the imitation. If glass is scratched by
any hard substance, such as sand, nails,
etc, it will break very easily where the
mark is. For this reason it is well to
have small wooden tub to use only
for washing glass and silver. Ex-
or break glassware. To wash table
glass make a stong suds, having the
water no hotter than you can put your
hand in comfortably. Have another
pan of clear water of about the same
temperature. Put few pieces of the
glass in the suds and wash each one
carefully with a soft cloth; then rinse
all in the clear water and drain for a
few seconds, though not long enough
for the articles to cool or dry. Now
wipe them with dry linen towel, rub
bling hard, to give the glass polish.
BE especially particular not to let the
hands touch the glass at this stage.
Should the glass be cut, or imitation of
cut, it should be rubbed, while in the
suds, with a soft brush. 1T this rule be
followed daily the glass will always be
brilliant, repaying one hundred-fold
for the extra labor.-Ihe Housewife.

A Suitable Christmas Present.

Dick and Maggie had been married
only three months. AS is often the
case, some of their wedding presents
were duplicates, while some other
things, just as necessary, were forgotten
altogether. The worst of it was that,
as they lived in a village, and the
presents were all from dear friends or
relatives, they could not exchange them,
as we are told they sometimes do in the
cities. However, Maggie, being a sensi-
BILE little woman, with the knack of
making things do, they had got along
very well.
1t was the first of December, and
Maggie, as she arranged the tea-table,
was reviewing mentally her list of
presents for Christmas. 1t had been
such busy year-frst, the endless
preparations for the wedding, and since
then, the setting to rights and making
pretty of her little home-that she had
not found the time for much a" fancy
work." so she would have to buy the
most of them.
She knew just what mother and the
girls would like-father, too-in fact,
her list was all complete and satisfac-
tory, with the exception of something
for Dick. Last, but not least, oh, mol
she thought to herself with a happy
smile. If he only smoked To be sure,
she was glad he did not; she thought
it an untidy, expensive habit, but there
were always so many pretty things one
could give smoker.
Here the click of the gate-latch inter-
rupted her thoughts, and she flew
to open the door. During the progress
of their evening meal, Maggie was so
unusually quiet that Dick finally no.

That will do frst-rate." The next day
as soon as Maggie had finished washing
the dinner dishes, and had tidied the
kitchen, she donned her stylish walking

hardware stores of the village. Not

Haryey's Wonderful Power.

A young printer employed by the
Blakely Printing Company is astonish-
ing his associates with some marvellous
feats. The accuracy with which he
takes measurements with his eyes and
mind seems really supernatural. In
using plea measure-a plea is one-sixth
of an inch-he employs no guide to aid
him, but adjusts his stick, cuts rules
and leads the desired length by meas
uring the space in his mind. In Civ
ing an exhibition of his power lately
he took nine pieces of brass rule and
cut them to 6, Z, S, 9, 10, II, -, 10, II
and 10 plea ems respectively, and on
measuring the cut rules they were
found to be the exact length. He then
cut twelve pieces to one length with
out comparing them. The pieces were
gathered and compared and could not
have been shaved nearer one length. He
tells longer measures with equal accu-
racy. A piece of wood was handed him
and he was asked the length of it. 1.-Two
feet five and three-eighths inches"
was the quick and absolutely accurate
reply. He was also asked if a certain
block was square. zone of its angles
idtho lllllC VI lC WtItu. uG
angle referred to was found to be
slightly acute. Another curious freak
of this printer is that he never carries
watch, but is positive regulator at
telling the hour. One dark afternoon,
after having not seen a clock all
day, one of the men jestingly asked
him the time of day. Seven minutes
after three" was the prompt reply,
and all the correct watches in the
house testified to his accuracy. To
more fully test his ability in this direc-
ton, his roommate awoke him a few
nights ago and put to him the query as
to the hour. The reply this time was
twenty minutes after two," which
was correct to a minute. The young
printer dislikes notoriety and refuses to
use his peculiar gift publicly for gain.
His name is Joe Harvey. Since boy
he has been able to accomplish remark
able feats of this kind.-Farmer and

A Carol for Christmas.

Listen the bells In the steeples
In jubilant gladness ring
To welcome the coming Of Christmas
And the birthday of the King
Who was born in the lowly manger
OF Bethlem, long ago
When the song of the herald angels
Was sung to the world below.
Thou hast clad myself in raiment
OF spotless white, o earth,
Like bride on her marriage morning,
To celebrate Christs birth.
o, were our lives as spotless,
Our hands unstained with sin,
And the latch of each heart were lifted
To let the Christ child in.
Bring of thy pine and holly
o, earth. this Christmas day,
And wreathe in their green the alter
Wherein our gifts we lay;
Gifts of most grateful homage
Laid low at the feet of the King
Who leans from His throne to listen
To the Sound of our worshiping
Bring to the dear lords altar
The souls white flowers to-day.
Let the rose of thy love shed incense
Sweet as the breath of May.
Let the lily of faith eternal
Lift its cup OF myrrh to Him
Whose love is the star that leads us
Through ways that are dark OF dim
o, earth, send back to heaven
The grand and the glorious strain
That startled the wandering shepherds
On far Judea's plain
Glory to God in the highest,
Sing it again and again.
ON earth be peace, on earth be peace,
Coed will, good will to men.

A New Method Of Treating Disease.
HOSPITAL REMEDIES.

What are they? There is a new de-
parture in the treatment of disease. It
consists in the collection of the specifics
used by noted specialists of Europe and
America, and bringing them within the
reach of all. For instance the treatment
pursued by special physicians who treat
indigestion, stomach and liver troubles
only, was obtained and prepared. The
treatment ofother physicians, celebrated
for curing catarrh was procured, and so
on till these incompatible cures now in
clude disease of the lungs, kidneys, female
weakness, rheumatism and nervous Gebil
ity.
This new method of zone remedy for
one disease" must appeal to the common
sense of all sufferers, many of whom have
experienced the i'll effects, and thorough
ly realize the absurnity of the claims of
Patent Medicines which are guaranteed
to cure every i'll out of a single bottle,
and the use of which, as stati Tics prove,
has ruined more stomachs than alcohol.
A circular describing these new remedies
is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay
postage by Hospital Remedy Company

liable agents wanted.

the seed of potatoes and beans so badly
as to require re-planting. l had to start
over and several weeks were lost, al
though had as good early summer gar
den as any one. The crops were all
worked as before directed. AS soon as
one crop gave out, planted something
new; keeping the ground well stirred,
clean of weeds and fresh at all times to
the atmospheric influence.
I spent good deal OF labor and no
uncomfortable amount of money on the
plat, but feel satisfied that in extreme
wet or cold seasons always will have
piece of land suitable for good crop of
vegetables, and vegetables are to me
great deal, as Iconsider them half of our
living.
By always manuring well, giving one
or the other patches alternately to small
grain for green food and to pillow in the
stubble, 1 expect not only to keep
the land fertile, but expect the same to
improve greatly in texture and fertility.

For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
Garden Soil - When and What to
Plant.
Most any one can make first class
garden Onpaper, butwhen it comes down
to actual business, it sometimes happens
that soil orseason objects, and our Efforts
fail. In regard to soil, Florida is famous
for it's all sorts, and while some will pro-
duce at once on clearing, others will not
for years and still others never.
Very heavy saw palmetto is hard to
civilize, and though it may be we'll drain
ed and thoroughly broken up, not
thing will grow for three Or four years,
fertilize as you will. Your plants will
perhaps come up all right, but go back
and not amount to any thing. we'll re-
member my trial on such land. l had
gathered and burned or hauled off several
hundred thousand loads of roots; my
ground looked pretty black and good
for Florida and planted in hope. My
things came up we'll enough but would
die. tried barn yard manure, nitrate
of soda, mill ashes, etc. Complete fertil-
iZers and somenot so complete, and it was
all the same. What made it doubly ex-
asperating was that about that time |
knew all about Florida, and was writing

written many lately. l suppose can t
write as we'll now. [ have said good
deal about the palmetto land for that is
bad when it appears good.
Take any pine land, not scrubby, when
there is little or no palmetto and if
drained, a good garden is matter OF
faithful work and plenty of fertilizer.
The sub-soil is of the greatest impor-
tance, clay of course is good. yellow sand
or brown if deep is also first class.
should say that the very best soil, the
one that gives the least trouble, will grow
themost things, iswell drained hammock,
not bay heads nor cypress swamps, but
one supporting oak, hickory, magnolia,
cabbage palmetto and such growths.
Suppose such land we'll ditched and you
may plant anything at once when
cleared.
All vegetables may be grown, but
some are particularly at home.
All members of the cabbage family,
caplifower, broccoli, kale, turnips
and rutabaga. All members of the Gu
cumber tribe, melons, squashes, ETC.,

culture OF the cantalope family, as well as
the finer squashes is the melon worm in

Beans are perfectly successful and may
be grown in all varieties. have raised
this year as fine white beans and as heavi-
ly podded as [ ever saw. Lima, Butter
and the pole beans generally do we'll, but
need not be planted early as they are not
