Some Important Things Which Girls

What girls should never forget is to

so. The girl we'll got up, with ire

it will be we'll turned out, may compete

tention to details, is passed over by tho
disconnected eye, though her gown may
be a masterpiece of Worth.
A girl should learn to put her gown on
properly. No creature living takes more
heed of externals than your orthodox
man. He may not know the price, color
or material of your clothes, but he will
know to nicely whether you are we'll
or badly gowned.
One special pointI would impress up
on the girl who desires (as all girls do)
to range themselves we'll, to make a
good MARRIAGES. to be gentle. The
craze for vivacity, for the free and easy
style that borders SO closely on the man
ners of the demi-monde, that distin-
guished the society of ten years ago,
has providentially died natural death.
Nowadays men are sensible enough to
look for comfort in their married lives.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
scrupulously Avoid the Use of Saw-Dust
to Collect Oil DriDplnEs.

scrupulOusly Avoid the Use of SaW-Dust
to Collect Oil Drippings.
Among the results brought to light by
:ecent investigations of the sources of
spontaneous combustion, is the fact that
saw-dust should never be used in oil
shops or warehouses, to collect drippings
or leakages from casks. Dry vegetable
or animal oil is found to- inevitably
take fire when saturating cotton waste,
at 1870 deg. Fahrenheit, and spontane-
GUS combustion occurs more quickly
when the cotton is soaked with its own
weight of oil. The addition of 40 per cent.
of mineral oil--density .S90--of great Wis
costly, and emitting no inflammable va
pors, even in contact with an ignited
body at any point below 1888 deg
Fahrenheit, is sufficient to prevent
spontaneous combustion, and the addi-
ton of 20 per cent. OF the same mineral
oil doubled the time necessary to pro-
duce spontaneous combustion. Danger
is involved in patent dryers" from
leakage into sawdust, etc., oily waste
of any kind, or waste cloths of silk or
cotton, saturated with oil. varnish or
turpentine; also linseed oil cask drip
pings into a sponge, glycerine or oil
of any kind leaking into sawdust, and
oily turnings mixed with sawdust;
rust from gun barrels kept some
time under water, scraped and put in
parcel in pocket; bituminous coal in
large heaps of pit coal, fastened by
wet, and especially when pyrites are
present in the coal-the larger the heaps
the greater the liability. Oil on flour,
or water on flour, is productive of
spontaneous combustion. In fact all Or
ganic structures, being largely COM
posed of carbon and hydrogen, are
steadily excited, because of the affinity
of the hydrogen for oxygen, both OF
which are in an allatropic state (that is
in a state unusually ready to combine).
Hence there is danger in any condition

ton with water.-Indianapolis Corn

THE COLD FRAME.

A Useful Adjunct to the Kitchen Garden.
There are many garden vegetables
which are benefited by transplanting.
II sown in the open ground they will not

the right time, because the farmer lives
too far from nursery or professional

advise the making Of cold frame. 1t

a good inch board, cut it in lengths to
suit the sash and make your cold frame
in sheltered place, where it can
always remain intact. Dig down
twelve to sixteen inches, fill with
fresh horse manure well compacted
to furnish bottom heat. Throw over it
few buckets Of water and place your
frame SO as to receive the southern sun.
Let the north part of the frame be from
four to six inches higher so as to shed
rain, which should be conducted away
from the frame, if it be in excess, Bank

THE PARDoNING POWER.
Why 1t Should Never BE Exercised With
out Careful Deliberation.

Why 1t Should Never BE Exercised With
out Careful Deliberation.
A man in the Massachusetts, State
prison, after serving fifteen years of a
thirty years sentence, was recently par
doned out by the Governor.
If all reports were true, he was an ex-
emplary prisoner, gentlemanly, indus
trious, quiet and well-behaved. His
conversation with visitors was so intel
ligent, and evinced such high concep-
tions of morality and manhood, that
they went away with the idea firmly i'm
planted that the man was suffering I'M
justly, and that the State prison was no
place for such good and pure man.
Philanthropic women were moved to
compassion by the spectacle of this
noble man suffering felon's doom, and
at once began to circulate petition beg
ging the Governor to pardon him. Influ-
entail clergymen exerted themselves in
his behalf, eulogizing his virtues and
expressing their firm belief in his full
reformation. At length the Governor
was prevailed upon to pardon him.
This embodiment of all the virtues
was once again turned loose into So
ciety, which had so loudly clamored for
his companionship.
In two months after his pardon, he
decoyed his own brother to distant
town in New Hampshire, sent bullet
through his heart, cut off his head and
arms, and buried his body in the woods.
This is the kind of saint the pardoned
prisoner Isaac Sawtel]e turned out to be-.
His case illustrates the ease with
which shrewd prisoners can work upon
the feelings of impassionate women
and philanthropic but hardly level
headed men. 1t is easy for criminal
to be good when there is no opportunity
for him to be vicious, and when SIM
ulated virtue may obtain him pardon.
Thousands of signatures could be oh
tanned on petition for the pardon of
the most hardened criminal, if the petit
ton were presented by an experienced
and persuasive solicitor.
For these reasons the pardoning pow
er should never be exercised until after
the most careful deliberation and inves-
tigation. Many criminal in the last
stages of consumption has developed an
amazing vitality, and lived to good old
age after being pardoned out of prison.
Criminals are adopts in deception. For
this reason the most deliberate care
should be exercised in granting pardons.

WHY NOT RAISE OLIVES ?
An Industry that Would Thrive ON
Southern Farms.

An Industry that Would Thrive ON
Southern Farms.
The olive tree and its fruit do best on
well-drained, high-lying lands, free
from an excess of heat, as in Africa and
Egypt, and too great degree of cold,
as in the north of Europe and America;
the same people in Europe who con-
sumo annually many millions of dol
lars worth of our cotton, boz
cause they can buy American cotton
cheaper than an article of equal value
can be grown in Europe. The organiza-
ton of pure oil is a question of solar
light and heat. Neither oil-producing
plants, nor cotton do as we'll in Europe
as in America Our cotton greatly
needs companion for European asso.
Citations. Pure olive oil has many ad.
vantages to commend it to Southern
farmers and land-holders. To-day a
gallon of this fruit oil pays for six gall
Ions of the juice of the best grapes.
This pregnant fact goes far to prove
that the world of humanity wants pure
oil or butter more than wine or brandy.
The olive tree is perennial ever
green without peer on this planet.
History fails to record the time
and place, when and where piety
first Iworshipped olive fruit and oil
as a part of the Divinity. The
Southern farmer with an olive grove
in bearing will get six times as much
per gallon for oil from olives, pure and
ripe, as for the juice of his best grapes.
To some extent vineyards form taste
for wine and the habit of intoxication.
! A fruit sacred in the estimation of MILL
ions that promotes health and gladness
with no intoxication is sure to grow in
public esteem.-Daniel Lee, in Dixie

ECCENTRIC LOVERS.

Bridal Couples Who Were Married in
Very Strange Places.
Early last month the Primitive Meth
odist Chapel at Leighton Buzzard, Bed
fordshire, BEngland, was burnt down,
the fire breaking out one night after a
harvest festival, and only the front
and two side walls were left standing.
Before the conflagration occurred a
marriage had been arranged to take
place at the chapel between young
man and a young woman resident in
the town.
In spite of the disastrous event that
had happened, the wedding party as
sembled on the spot at the appointed
hour, and, a space inside the doorway
having been cleared, the ceremony was
celebrated amid the ruins. The regis
trar-general had been communicated
with in the interval, and he replied
that he should raise no objection to a
marriage solemnized on licensed prem
ises which were still inclosed by boun-
Diary walls or parts of such walls.
A romantic wedding occurred at Mauch
Chunk, in Pennsylvania, on August "a.
There is a switchback railway on a
large scale in that romantic spot, and
the wife of the owner had invited some
friends to share moonlight ride over
the novel road. The party was about
starting on the homeward journey down
the mountain side, when two gentlemen
and lady approached the owner and
asked permission to return with them.
Said one of the gentlemen, pointing to
the lady:
''This is my prospective bride. About
ten years ago we agreed that when we
were married we would have the knot
tied on the switchback. We had lovers
quarrel and / went to San Francisco.
About year ago we began correspond
ing again, and on Sunday night we de-
termined to carry out our intention. We
wanted to wait until tomorrow, but
what's the matter with our having it
done by moonlight"
Permission given, the moonlight party
thronged about the happy pair. Then
all boarded the car, and the prospective
bridegroom shouted:
'Now, let her go!''
While the car was going at the rate of
mile in thirty seconds, and was MAX
ing its circuitous dash along the edge Of
the precipice, the moon looked down
and smiled on the fastest marriage on
record. One gentleman was maid of
honor, another was bridesmaid, and a
third gave the bride away.
Manchester, in New Hampshire, was
the scene Of a woodworking on August
90 last. The happy couple were Miss
Addie Brooks and Mr.. James T. Boyd.
The nuptial knot was tied with the
couple standing within white-draped
car attached to mammoth balloon
christened GLORY of the Skies.'' I'M
mediately on the completion of the
ceremony, Mr.. and Mrs. Boyd began
their married life, ''far from the mad
ding crowd" by voyage among the
clouds. The wedding party consisted
of twenty thousand spectators. Chris.

into three or four compartments and
SOW Cabbage, tomato caulifower, pep.
pers, ETC., according to your fancy. Cab
bage and caulifiower are pretty hardy
and should be transplanted as soon as
large enough. and the space in the
frame filled with celery seed, the plants
of which wilbnot need to be set out very
early. In passing allow me to emphasize
that if you want early cabbages and to-
matoes, after the plants have been re-
moved into the open grounds, they need
hoeing almost every day and must not
be neglected.
You will be able with any full sash of
the size named to raise plants for sale
over and above your own wants, and
thus to pay for time, trouble and ex-
penses.
But the raising of plants is not all you
can do with such a frame. After your
plants have been put out in the open
grounds, put in little extra manure,
cut few thin sods, invert them and
place upon these from four 10 six cucum.
Der seeds, which in very little while
may upon the sods be carried to the
open beds, for by this time the season
will have so far advanced that all dam
ger from frost in an ordinary season is
over.
One or two other points essential to
success are regular supply of moisture
and care that too-hot sun does not
scald and kill the young plants. And
remember that all the seeds named are
very fine, and will not need more than
one-quarter of an inch of earth for a
covering.
similar frame with like treatment
will easily produce all the sweet potato
plants needed for an acre or more Of
ground.
1t is an error to suppose that rainy
weather is the best time to set. out
plants of any kind Of vegetables. II
the soil is in good filth and the quantity
OF moisture sufficient to compact the soil
well to tho rootlets, any fair day is bet
ter than rainy weather. If the applica-
ton of water is deemed necessary-for
we must use common-sense in all our
corporations with nature--let it be ap.
piled late in the afternoon or evening,
and only in sufficient quantities to COM
pact the soil around the roots. Use
common wooden dibble or very small
trowel for your transplanting.
/ Now, about this time-as the almanac
has it-look out for the cut worm. Trap
him if you can, and let not one OF them es.
cape. But how? Twomethods will men,
ton. First, take round-pointed stick or
your homemade dibble and drill four
holes equi-distant around each plant,
all OF them covering space of about
four inches; make the holes six inches
deep with smooth sides. II the worm
gets into these he can not extricate HIM
self and perishes. Or, second, tie small
pladgets of clover together and place
these around your plants, and under
these look for Mr.. Worm early in the
morning, and when you find him punch
the life out of him. Nothing better than
hand picking has yet been discovered to
destroy this pest.
1t will hardly be necessary to state
here that squashes or any kind of
melons can be ohurricd into bearing
quite as we'll as cucumbers. When do
mestic gardening is done as it should
be, two and even three crops. in sea-
son may be grown on the same land.
