lie separates Himsen from Ills htnd,
Yet Continues to Enjoy Life.
The owner of the farmhouse had in
herited it from his father. There was
nothing very odd about this, even to
our other-world notions of property, ex-
cept that the father was still living. as
hale and hearty as you please, in little
den at the foot of the garden. He was,
in short, what is known as an inkyo,
or one dwelling in retirement'-a
singular state, composed of equal parts
of this world and the next; like dying
in theory, and then undertaking to
live on in practice. For an inlsyo is
man who has formally handed in his
resignation to the community, and yet
continues TO exist most enjoyably in the
midst of it. lie has abdicated in favor
of his eldest son, and having put off all
responsibilities, is filially supported in a
life of ease and pleasure.
In spite of being no longer in society,
the father was greedily social. As soon
as he heard a foreigner had arrived he
trotted over to call and nothing would
do but l must visit his niche early in the
morning, before going away.
After breakfast, therefore, the son
duly came to fetch me, and we started
off through the garden. For his sire's
place of retirement lay away from the
road toward the river, that the dear
old gentleman might command view
of the peaks opposite of one of which,
called the Etchiu Full from its conical
form, he was dotingly fond.
The worthy virtuoso, as he was, met
us at the door, and escorted us upstairs
TO see his treasures. The room was
tapestried with all manner of works of
art, of which he was justly proud, while
the house itself stood copied from a
Chinese model, for he was very classic.
But was pleased 10 find that above all
his heart was given to the view. Ii was

The good soul claimed to be wido-
wer, but such bereavement is no neces-
sary preliminary to becoming a

man enters the inkyo state
while he still has with him the
helpmate of his youth, and the two
go together TO this aftermath of life.

or bin, and therefore the merch ant and
the consumer may join with the pro-
Queer in sharing the loss that comes
from this cause.
The trouble is due to a microscopic
growth of fungous nature, and the
spread of it through the root is similar
to that of mildew through leaf, or
a mold through a piece of bread or
cake.
At least three kinds of spores are
formed by the black-rot fungus, SO
that there are abundant provisions for
the propagation of the trouble, besides
the method as illustrated ut b in the en-
craving. The sprout is here seen, and
it will be observed that the upper por-
ton and the lowest leaf are repre-
scented dark, to indicate that they are
dead and shriveled. This is due to the
growth of the same fungus as the one
causing the spots, large and small, in
the potato at a. The lower portion of
the sprout, c, which normally is color
less from being under ground and COW
cred with small roots, is in this case
spotted with long. dark patches, also
due to the fungus in question. Should
such plant be set in the field, it would
be quite sure to develop potatoes af-
fected with the black rot, provided it
survived In all such cases the disease
has probably gone from the root used
as seed in the propagating bed to the
sprouts that grow from it. Laboratory
experiments were made in growing
sprouts from diseased roots, and inva-
riably the sprouts would be attacked
and worthless
This point suggests the utmost inn
portance in selecting the seed, that
it be entirely free from the black rot.
If there be doubt about this, it would
be wise TO obtain roots from locality
where no black rot has been known.
A second precaution is to discard all
sprouts not perfectly healthy.
1t is possible that some substance
may be found by experiment that when
sprayed upon the hot beds will assist
materially in checking the black rot.
In like manner there may be some
treatment for the roots after digging
that will prevent any further growth
of the rot. None of the tests made with
various substances added to the soil at
setting time have given material re-
lief. In fields where the rot is very
bad, it may be wisest to devote the land
for few years to some other crop, and
thus permit the fungus that is in the
soil to die out.

in old stone houses in the country. 1t
is very easy to arrange such seats before
any window. and they make a very at

there is lack of closets, if these seats
are made in some way to open, they
make very good stoaway place for va

is a low, narrow divan shape, several
inches lower than the bottom of the
window. Chintz, rep or any material

TASTY PLANT LABELS.

One That Is simple. Cheap aud SHOWS the
Name Legibly.
The cross form of the labels, as so
often seen in European public parks
and private ornamental grounds, is
open to the criticism of imparting to
such resorts of pleasure and recreation
a somewhat cemetery-lilIe appearance.
Mr. r. Endlicher, a German landscape
gardener, uses and recommends the
STYLE of label shown in annexed en-
craving. This label is not only simple,
cheap and practical, but also quite
tasty and pleasing TO the eye, and at
the same time showing the name leg
IDLY and prominently. The label part
is cut or stamped out of heavy sheet
zinc The form to be adopted may be
the one shown in illustration, or it may
vary from this according 20 Individual
taste. The face side is given two coats
of black paint, and upon this, when
thoroughly dry, the name is to be writ
ten with white paint prepared from
rectified varnish and white lead. Only
the very best quality of each ingre-
dent should be used. The writing
may be done with a common soft pen,
after the point has been dulled on
grindstone, or better with a goose
quill The use of upright Roman char
acters, as shown on sample label in
illustration, admits of crowding the
