Gasoline Moth Destroyer.

''What shall I do with my fur cape ?"
an anxious damsel was overheard by a
Pittsburg Chronicle reporter inquiring
of druggist lately. 81 have been away
on a visit and there have been moths
in my friends wardrcb be, for first found
one little bare place in my cape where
there ought TO have been fur and now
there is another and | am in despair"
at is useless to try to find moths in a
fur CAPE" was the druggists answer
''but take 81 big bottle of gasoline and
saturate your cape with it. Then roll
it up in paper for day or two, and you
will find no more bare spots unless you
go visiting and hang it in the same ward
robe"
"But | am so afraid Of gasoline"
eyes, it is dangerous when used care
lessly, but if you treat your cape to its
gasoline bath in room without fire and
with open windows you are entirely
safe, except from odor; there is no es-
Gaping that for lew hours at least"
Gasoline seems to be about the only
remedy which can applied with des-
patch and certain effect when moths
are discovered invading valuable fur
garment, and in this season of fur it Is
well to bear the remedy in mind.
Surely furs were never so fashionable
as now; and if you would be in style, at
least one fur garment must be found In
your wardrobe.
And really it makes very little differ
ence whether it is a dainty little As
trak than shoulder cape, costing from Sl4
to $50, or a sealskin mantle, trimmed
with Russian sable, which the dealer as
sured you was bargain at 81 600.

DairYing Enriches the Soil.

In some Of the Western states con-
tinued grain cropping had reduced soil
fertility SO that grain crops no longer
paid expenses. Wheat especially had
ceased to be profitable, because of its
low yield. In Wisconsin, since farmers
went into the dairy business, they have
been enabled to fertilize their farms,
and the wheat average has increased
from eight bushels per acre to fifteen
or more. Not so much wheat is sown
as before it was made an incidental
crop, but the profit is greater. In a few
years it will be found that as much
wheat can be. grown in connection with
dairying as in the best days of that
staple. Still greater is the effect of
dairying in stimulating corn culture
The corn crop is indeed the basis of
successful dairying in any part of the
country, and the corn brings more
rather than less profit to the farmer for
being fed on the farm where grown,
and thus made into valuable manure.

An when dad licked me. an my heart I'D bile

An then my sobs 'ud change to shouts, an scr

For it strewd along its music from the mountain

An I'd strech my ear to hear it, an my heart

When listened TO the music of tire brook be-
meath the snow.
Since then the wintry blasts of life have blown
me here an there.
An SNOW storms they have blocked my way an
hedged NE everywhere;
But sheltered from the harrycane, within the

Waste Lands for Fruit and Forests.
Prof. Maynard calls attention to the
fact that apple trees, remarkable for
their thrift and vigor, are often found
on land so rough and stony that it cam
not be cultivated. The fruit produced
upon such land is noted for its high
color and rice flavor, and for long-keep-
ing qualities. There are thousands upon
thousands of acres of this kind of land
and much of it is almost worthless Tor
almost any other purpose than forestry
and the production OF the large fruits,
and, if properly cared for, it would in a
few years, give a large income for the
investment. In planting such land
particular care must be given to the
pre- paraton of the soil directly around
the tree, and to saving the material Oft
EN- found growing upon it such as sedges,
brush, etc, or oDta ned elsewhere to be
used Tor mulch, to prevent the escape of
the moisture that is rapidly carried
away by the leaves or grasses and other
plants. The advantages claimed for the
turf system are, that the trees mature
their wood much earlier in the autumn,
and, consequently, are less liable to in
Jury from cold; the roots are protected
from injury from the extremes of heat
and cold by the grass roots; the trees
begin bearing much earlier and bear
more regularly; the fruit is of better
quality and keeps longer; the cost of
land and cultivation is much less, while
satisfactory growth may be obtained
by the use of small amount of fertil-
izer applied to the surface.-Erchange.

Old sailors sha',c their heads and
look wise when ti:2 loss of tho Thorn
aston Schooner George T. Mcfarland
is mentioned. They have avoided her
persistently and il has been almost
impossible for her 20 ship crew in
Maine. Her i'll luck is said to have
been foretold by Portland medium
who announced just as the Mcfarland
was finished, in 1869, that the spirit Of
Capt Kidd was to sail vessel about
TO DO launched at Thomaston. Be-
levers in the mediums knowledge
were not surprised when the schooner
stuck on the ways while being launch
cd and had to 60 into the dry dock for
repairs before going TO sea atall. Since
then her record has been ono Of dis
aster.
Her first commander, Capt Little
ton Strong, got tired of partnership
with the spirit Of tho renowned pirate
or Of something else, and gave il up
after two or three unlucky voyages,
since when he has been uniformly sue
cessful. Capt "A. Z. Strong came
next, but tho vessel showed strange
perversity in sailing into storms, and
after numerous accidents was abau-
doncd in mid-ocean. Somebody picked
her up and carried her TO Europe, and
Capt Strong tried itagain. Two days
out from Europe, when bccalmcd,
she was struck by n sudden squall,
and Capt Strong, passing along the
deck, caught his foot in n rope, fell
and broke his leg. She was relit,ed
after her return 10 Maine, and Capt.
Strong made a last trip in her, when
she was wrecked again aud burned as
dangerous TO navigation. Lewiston

Shittim Wood.

Mr.. W. W. Stowe has left with the
MORNING News piece of wood, which is
said to be the same as the Shittah or
Shittim spoken of in the Old Testament as
the precious wood of which the affairs
tables, and boards used in the Temple at Je-
rusalem were made The Shittim tree is not
mentioned among the trees of this country.
There is a growth of this tree, or something
that resembles it very closely extending for
five miles along the banks of the Chatta-
hoocnee river, just above the town of that
name, and the piece Left by Mr. Stowe is a
specimen of it. The wood is hard,
tough, beautiful, and durable. Lamp
posts made from the tree and put down
twenty years since in Tallahassee still show
no signs of decay either above or below the
ground.
At meeting of the National Educational
association, held st Nashville, Tenn, last
year, Supt. j. A. B. Lovett of Huntsville,
Ala, presented the association with a
gavel made from Shittim. The tree from

What a Visit to the queen Means.

Edmund Yates la London World
1t is a mistake to suppose that the queens
guests at Windsor castle have any oppor-
tunity for prOtrac.ed or confidential COM
munication with her majesty, except such
ministers as have audiences. The visitors
arrive at the castle about o'clock, retire
to their respective rooms and assemble in
the corridors in full dress at $50 o'clock.
The queen presently enters from her private
apartment, and after bowling to the COM
pany, and perhaps speaking a few
words to one or two friends,
she goes into the dining-room, fol-
lowed by the guests. After dinner, dur
ing which the conversation, as matter of
course, is to the last degree vapid and com
monplace, the company return. to tne cor
ridor, and then the queen speaks for a few
minutes to each person in turn, and then
bows to the circle and retires, after which
the party proceeds to one Of the drawing
rooms for cards or music, and the men
ultimately find themselves in the smoking
room, which is a very comfortable apart
ment. Next morning the guests leave the
castle after breakfast, and they depart
without having again seen the queen. who
takes her meal alone in her own private
rooms.
