much to tell that when the great hall
clock struck five Mrs. Blake was quite
surprised, and she went out in . hurry
to begin her preparations for supper.
The house was an old-fashioned one,
with the side. door opening directly
into the kitchen, and the only means OF
access to the cellar by q trap-door in
the kitchen floor, and the steepest DOS
sible stairs.
Mrs. Blake started cracking wood
hre, opened the outer door for GOODNESS,
and swung back the door of the trap,
which was of such generous proper
lions that the corner OF the bic
was on the verge, and the doorway in
close proximity; but Mrs. Blake was
used to her house, and she made IN
her biscuits and ran up and down the
break-neck stairs, without even q sigh
for modern conveniences.
She was justly proud Of her table
when it was ready. The cloth had
been brought by her husband from
what the neighbors called s'foreign
parts" and the china had been her
mothers The egg-shen cups and deli
cate plates were very pretty, and how
nice the thin slices of ham looked, and
the great dish of red and white cur
rants. The fruit-cake was as dark and
rich and indigestible as need be, and
the enthusiastically but Mrs.
Blake knew the secret of that. She

they attack. Thr ough experiments
which we first began in this country in
1886 and 1887, liquid remedies have
been discovered which effectually
serve. when properly prepared and ap-
piled, to save our crops from the class
of parasites last named. In acting as
q preventive an essential property of
the preparation used is its adhesive
ness. So far, all things considered,
nothing has been found superior to the
Bordeaux mixture, which. as every
one knows, is compound of lime and
sulphate of copper-lime, one pound,
sulphate of copper, one pound, water,
five gallons.
At the same time'that we began expcr
imenting with liquid remedies for the
downy mildews and the rot, we tried
also certain powders having a sui.
plate Of copper base. The result OBJ
tanned by the use of these was less
marked than that from the liquids;
they were somewhat difficult of prep
aration, and no satisfactory bellows
could be procured for applying them,
hence their use in our experiments was
abandoned In 1883 we obtained a
good form of bellows from France
see cut-but then attention was so
strongly given to the liquid prepare
tions that the powders received little
notice.
There are two powders which have
given results that warrant their being
further tried; they are sulphatine and
sulpho-steatite or cupric steatite, the
formula for which have given in cir
cular of the division of vegetable
pathology, published by the United
States department of agriculture. The
first, sulphatine, may be prepared by
mixing thoroughly

preventive of mildew (Peronospora)
standing second only to the Bordeaux
mixture. It is composed Of steatite or
soapstone and anhydrous sulphate of
copper, in proportion of IL pounds of
the former to one pound of the latter.
Before attempting to use powders in
combating our fungous foes, we must
have something more suitable for ap-
plying them than anything have yet
seen offered for sale. The bellows fig
ured above is simple, easy of construc-
ton, can be made at little cost, ana is
practical.-Lamson Scribner, in Rural

Tho Effect of Overfeedinr,

The Effect of Overlooking.
When a young calf is gorged with
milk indigestion follows and the stom-
ach is clogged with a mass of compact
curd. The consequence is that the an
imal becomes dull, dribbles at the
mouth and grinds its teeth. The treat
ment should be to give teaspoonful
of carbonate of soda or saleratus in a
pint of water, which will dissolve the
curd and aid its passage through the
intestines. Six hours after give one
tablespoonful of raw insced or castor
oil. Offer NO food until the bowels are
cleared out. and then give only one
quart Of warm. fresh milk at meal
every three hours. When q calf is
drinking milk It should be fed slowly
and. with intervals Of rest, and cold
milk should never be given. aszthis
chills the stomach and provokes indi.

Comforting tho Degree In tho Middle
~ Ages.
1t is not hard to understand how, in
course of time, the court poet should be
called the laureate. During the middle
ages, chartered universities conferred
degrees in poetry, by laureation. The
laurel was put upon the head of the
student who had successfully taken his
poetical degree, and in England he was
entitled to wear a habit of white and
green, with the word ''Calliope'' embroi-
dered upon it in silk and gold. The last
instance of laureation in England was
that of Thomas Thomson, in 15l4. ..-
We can now give clear and definite
answer to the question as to who was
the first laureate. The answer must
depend upon what is meant by the ques-
ton. II we mean who was the first
patented poet-laureate, the Office does
not 60 back further than Ben johnson;
practically, however, Spenser was the
first of the present line of laureates,
though many would say it begins with
Chaucer: But if by the laureate we
simply mean the court poet then We
must seek for the origin Of this Office in
that far-oh darksome period, when as
yet history had not begun to light her
torch. From Spenser to Tennyson the
roll continues almost unbroken.
The .laureateship, is an ornamental
appendage to the court, and will prob
ably endure till jealous eyes are fixed
on the ancient crown itself But it il
something more than an ornamental
appendage to the crown. During the
long reign Of king Alfred" as Long
fellow, in his, generous recognition Of
the laureate's supremacy, styled Alfred
Tennyson, : change has been passing
over the spirit Of the Office he has borne
with such quiet dignity. His patriotic
sympathies with the veal and woe of
hin sovereign's people have transcribed
the narrower bounds OF his sovereign'e
court. The poet Of the court has beeu

Sarah o. Jewett; it is entitled ''Peg's
Little Chair" and has full-page illus
tration by Garrett. 1.-The Brides Bou-

BILE school story. "Pokeberry Juice

Sea and Land" by Will NJ. Clemens,
1.-THE Poppy Bee," by Mrs. Hall, and
''How to Dry Starfshes," by Louisa

lovers of natural history. 'How the
Cossacks Play Polo'' is terrible and
dramatic story of Russian field-sport
INDUCED in by officers of the Imperial
Guard; it is by NJ adame de Meissner of
the Russian legation. what Seven

"Men and Things" pages abound with
original anecdotes. The poems are by
Kate Putnam Osgood, Maria Johns
