ECllpSeS In 1891.

This years eclipse will be somewhat beyond the average. On Intervening of May 23 the moon will rise in eclipse at five minutes to 8, but the shadow will for the greater part have already pass ed away, and 1t is only in eastern countries and at the antipodes that her face that evening will be seen wholly oi1s15irod It will be otherwise with the total eclipse of our satellite, which will begin at thirty-tive minutes past 10 on Nov 15 next. This, as the almanacs tell us, will be entirely wis ible at Greenwich, whither, no doubt, the legendary cockney will once more betake himself in time to witness the phenomenon.
 There will be two solar eclipses-one annular, and visible in this country as a partial eclipse on the upper limb be- gining at two minutes past on June 6; the other apartial eclipse on Dec 1 which will be visible chiefly in the South Pacafic Besides these there will be. on May 10, transit of Mercury over the suns disk, which will be only par tially visible in this part of the globe.

no one will attempt to intrude upon me or disturb me in any way, and that 1 shall have one witness with me-"
 This was considered quite reason able, and all consented readily.
 ''l need not add that, of course, you will hold yourself bound in honor to keep the conditions faithfully. You, sir" he continued, fixing his basilisll eye on his opponent, who winced per ceptibly, shall be that witness. You must accompany me into the next room; the doors shall be left open;and you will have to describe aloud what ever you may see. If the experience turns out to be painful one, yon have only yourself to thank for it."
 With these words he rose and walk ed toward the corridor leading to the the other man, who, by this time con- siderably subdued, hesitated for Q minute; but, putting on the best face he could, he took up a lighted lamp from table, and followed him into the first room to the right, leaving the doors wide open.
 As they disappeared a strange hush fell over the noisy and excited eom- pany. Silence reigned for some time, until the twelve strokes of midnight were heard sounding distantly from a church clock. Then voice in the next room, saying slowly and solemn ly:
 "Maurice Durand thou who didst promise that on the anniversary of our cruel parting thou wouldst give me the consolation of seeing thee again Ii called upon thee to appear, remem- Der thy promise, Dear friend l entreat thee, come Mauricel Appear. "
 Then came a pause, amid breatlhess silence; but soon the voice was heard again saying;
 Maurice, remember thy vowl be- seech thee, appearl
 Another silence. Then the other voice was heard, saying in trembling accents;
 There is a faint light in the darkest part of the room. .. It takes a shapel , It approachesl 1t is An, :. Away!.l'
 An uuearthly shriek rent the air followed by q crash and a heavy fall, and then all was silent once once more
 The startled listeners looked at each other with dismay Some had turned pale, while others tried to look i'll at ease while all felt uncertain, ir- resolute what to do. Some time elaps- ed before it was suggested that they ought to disregard their promise, and see what had had happened, so as to render assistance if it were needed. A move was madetoward the room, but 1t was in total darkness. A light was procured and this was what they found.
 The room was empty, the lamp was upset, the table overturned and the window wide open. X The two men had gone-and the stakes with them.

Cheap Hen Houses.

Costly hen-houses arc very nice, I pocket will admit of it, writes a prac- tical woman in the Rural Home, but my object is to show how some farm- CTS wife like myself, can keep small flock of hens with profit, and very small outlay outside the resources found on every farm.
 My hen-house is just one-half of the building erected for 8 pig-pen; it is par titioned off and boarded up separate from the part occupied by the hogs; it is small and never try to keep 8 large flock, It is filled between the studs with sawdust, and covered overhead with the same. It has one south and one cast window, both small, having each six lights of seven by nine glass. All the 'iixingsn inside is an old pan formerly used to boil maple sap: it is about six feet by three, and is filled with road dust, wood ashes, and q small admixture of slacked lime, and Is of great value as dust box Besides this there are three or four common
 ''store" boxes nailed on the walls for nests. (we never need traps to catch the eggs and keep the hens from eat ing them) and some three by four scantling for roosts.
 Contrary to all established rules, this hen-house is never cleaned more than once during the winter, sometimes not even once. Every few days they are given light scattering of straw or ehatf, and when this begins to get damp or dirty, more is thrown on the top. Their feed is thrown into this, making 1t necessary for them to scratch for their living, which is the first and most important requisite of success. Their nests are filled with cedar boughs in- stead of straw, and we have found this is a sure exterminator of lice We give them as much of variety of feed as possible. sometimes bran. shorts or meal wet with warm water, or better still, with the liquid meat has been boiled in. if not very salt; sometimes corn. barley or oats.
 All the egg shells used during the summer. when the hens have free run, are saved and fed in winter. with a marked influence on egg production; but better yet is the saving of all liv- CTS, hearts, and refuse scraps of meat, which our neighbors feed to their dogs. for the hens. A little mess of this once or twice week will make them lay bravely, and never think of eating an egg. Warm water is better than cold, and warm milk either sweet or sour, better than either. A feed once or twice week of chopped cabbage leaves. Ghe loose outside ones, that are never eooked) onion tops apples, broken or burned bones, etc, help greatly and costs nothing but little work. When 1 cannot get gravel handily, l feed finely pounded eroekery and find it answers every purpose. With such treatment our hens lay splendidly, with the mercury many de- grees below zero, for this is cold winter even for Canada.

Odd Journey of a Tree.

A stately elm tree is being moved several miles to Graceland cemetery and since it began it's travels which, arc about over it has killed one man and slightly injured several others. The tree grew about three miles from Crosse Point, and is destined to adorn q lot where Mir. Lathrop is buried. 1t was dug up recently, the earth around it's roots boxed up, and 1t was placed in standing petition upon platform moving upon rollers. The platform is pulled along by horses, During the process of changing the supports 8 laborer was crushed to death by a failing beam. It is estima- ted that when placed inthe cemetery the tree will have cost not less than $2, ,500.-Chicago Tribune.

She Caught the Car.

She was a very masculine looking young woman, and if she had not worn a Psyche knot and skirts she might have passed for slim waisted youth. for she wore a mans collar, a mans coat, a mans four-in-hand tie, and displayed on her bust a longitudinal section of mans plaited shirt She was waiting for car in the storm the other evening. She had not an um- breila, and was in the shelter of a doorway. \ car dashed by and she whlstled it to stop, The driver paid no attention to her signal, and she gathered up her skirts, made a dash out into the street, ran sharp ly for moment, caught up with the rapidly running car, caughht the hand rail, and swung on as nimbly as a col lege athlete. What do you mean sir" she exclaimed to the conductor, "by not stopping when l signaled?' The conductor tried to explain, but she would not listen, and sat down and looked indignant for ten minutes It takes manish lookingyoung wom. an to chase a car through the rain and get aboard without stopping the car- Boston Advertiser.

Why He Woke Up.

As result of the revived interest in hypnotism caused by the Eyraud- Bompard trial in Paris, some experi- ments were made at the Hotel Kaiserhot Berlin, when some sti1tling results were produced. One subject in hypnotic condition show ed that it Is not always possible to 8 hypnotized person to perform acts which are absolutely contrary to that persons natural inclinations. The subject in question was a sportsman, who was successfully made to believe that he was present at horse race at which he had backed the winning horse, but when it was suggested that he should divide his winnings ht awoke with a start.-From the Pal Mall Gazette.

Changing Eggs.

One of the practices among farmers Is changing eggs with each other in or der to avoid in-breeding. In the first place, the eggs themselves are risk,
 as no one can tell what they may pro- duce, perhaps no two chicks from them
 being alike and no breeding of value in the stock. In the next place, the changing of eggs makes the hocks in a community all of one blood, so that nothing can be gained by the practice after it has been persisted in for a while. Get pure-bred males from some source, or eggs from some breeder of pure breeds. If you must cross, do it correctly. Do not waste time in the attempt to better your flock by chang ing eggs for somo nondescript stock that has no merit nor possesses any ad- vantage. To improve flock, ono should know the kind of stock he is us- ing. and what can be expected from it. The changing of eggs is a practice usu- ally pursued by those who do not know the value of the breeds, and such per sons should not be encouraged.

Wild Plants.

Wild carrot is another bad we~i which unless treated rightly, becomes a permanent nuisance. This is bien- nial plant and seeds the second yets. Wild mustard is similar plant. and for all such weeds the best way is cutting them, if in grass land. before the flower appears and again later when new flowers will appear, so as to prevent seeding. will entirely rid tke land of these and other similar weeds in two years. To cut. or otherwise prevent the seeding of annual weeds. will get rid of them in one year. ex- oepting such as will hereafter grow from other seeds in the soil that may be turned up by the blow.

- HnusnhnII Hints

For neuralgia, bruise horseradish and apply as a poultice to the wrist
 Use turpentine and machine oil to polish your sewing machine, and rub brisl1ly.
 Use flannel to wash the children with in winter, and they will be good-na tured while bathing.
 When suffering from overstrained and tired eyes, bathe them in hot water several times q day.
 It is never safe to remove wool stock ings from an infant till it has passed its ''second summer,r or cut it's canine teeth.
 Bent whalebones may be restored to shape by soaking them in warm water a few hours, or by warming over lamp or fire.
 Hands may be kept smooth in cold weather by avoiding the use of warm water. Wash them with cold water and soap.
 Cold water may be drank freely in all levers. except when tho fever is connected with lung troubles, and in such cases it might chill the patient.
 Keep the back, especially between the shoulder blades we'll covered; also the chest well protected. In sleeping in cold room establish the habit of breathing through tho nose, and never with the mouth open
 One who writes as with authority upon improving the complexion, re- comments bathing the face at night with water as hot as 1t can be borne, followed by quick dash of cold water and drying with soft towel If tho water is hard it can bc softened with a few drops of ammonia or little borax.
 The complaint that the field of wo- mans work is confined is controverted by the fact that four ladies have secui'- ed positions as queens within the mem- ory of not very aged generation They are doing business respectively in England Spain. Holland and Hawaii, Queen Iilinokalani being the last to ascend the throne.
 A gentleman afflicted with asthma for a number of years found great re- lief in the following remedy: lmmerse stramonium or jimson weed leaves in a solution of nitre (nitrate of potassa) and dry them. Keep them in tin box. and when wanted put some in a tin cup, lay hot coal of fire upon them and inhale the fumes arising from 1t. This can be done best by GOV. ering the head and shoulders with a shawl and holding the cup underneath, so as to keep the fumes confined. It i. bcs. to use it as soon as the least symp tom of tho disease shows itself.
 The simplest means of purifying water is by Altering it. For this pur pose the best substances are charcoal or a combination of clay and charcoal because this material has the propert, of separating from the water all i'm purities, especially those decomposet materials which give 1t a bad smell ant taste. An inexpensive but thorough, effectual filter may be constructed in , flower pot by lining it with a layer o flannel and then filling in successivel, three inches of white sand washed per fectly clean and four inches of anima charcoal. A clean sponge may thel be placed across the top.

Dairy Pointers.

Be sure and keep your finger nails short, always.
 Never wet your fingers while milk ing, especially with milk.
 Sell your kicking COW to the butcher; she has no value in the dairy.
 Never drive a COW nor a fattening steer faster than a slow walk. You have no use for dog on dairy farm, except il be a well trained collie
 A cattle chain or strap with a snap is better tie than the ld-fashioned stanehion.
 A warm and comfortable stable will save feed. and straw or dry leaves are softer than oak plank.
 In cold weather take the chill from the water you use in messing cows they will like it better.
 Remembr that & COW is like a closet or cupboard; you can take nothing out unless you put something in.
 Handle your heifers every day and make them gentle; 1t will save much trouble when they become fresh.
 If your COW is in heat, present the male as soon as possible. and separate her for that day from the heard.
 Give your cows tablespoonful of salt once day in their mess of mill feed; it will keep them in good health.
 If you want the best results from your cows feed them all they can as similate and digest, but remember it takes close watching to reach that point.
 Have all your milking apparatus scrupulously clean; milk being fatty substance you may need pure soap in the cleaning; uso sealding hot water afterwards
 A mllker who can use only one hand at a time, or who will milk with thumb and finger. never should be entrusted with COW either in large dairy or in q private stable

Growing New Varieties af Corn.

The false ears of corn that sometimes appear on the ends of the stalks among the tassels possess individual pecul- iarities of their own. If planted, they grain grows regularly on the stalk follows, unless it has been crossed by some other variety, the parent seed. When the corn crop is good one. these tassel ears should be planted, as they will produce better sorts. When 1t Is a poor one the seeding will be inferior.

ullterate Farmers.

There are few illiterate farmers who succeed, but when one such does, it will be found that he is chock full of mother wit alias common sense alias science; and such men are successful because they can't help it.

Broad Tires.

The broad-tired wagons of forty years ago are coming into fashion again. They save roads greatly, and in some places there is a rebate on the toll---a very proper thing ng-where they are used. About the only drawback to them is that O. slippery mud roads. such as occur after light shower, they slide around too much whom tho surface is not level. On fields and meadows they arc much to be preferr. ed to the common narrow tires. which cut up the soil.

Humus In the Soil.

Almost all farmers know the yaiue of humus or vegetable mold in the soil. Often they hold exaggerated ideas of it's importance It is not of itself necessarily an evidence of great fertility, because 1t may lack, and in some localities generally does lack, the needed mineral elements for making crops of grain and grass. But where humus is abundant, the complete fer tility that is wanted may be easily supplied by the use of tho needed mineral fertilizer. potash or phosphate ono or both
