A Hint for Young Men.

Young man, do the other fellows
make fun of you, now and then, be-
cause you blush easily and are, as they
call it, a little green? And are you half
inclined to be trifle mad that what
they say is true, and that you find it
difficult to get seasoned and tough as
they are? As well might August be
ashamed that it preserved a handful
of green in its parched bosom, or an APP
pie be chagrined that it harbored no
worm at its core, or drop of rain be
annoyed that it fell from heaven rather
than from the gutter Never be ashamed
OF being innocent and pure in q world
where innocence and purity are too often
served as fresh fallen snow is served
that falls on a Travelled highway. Be
proud if you retain the ability to blush
and to shrink from hard story; to
avoid the contamination of daredevil
vice, and to turn from the allurements
OF so-called fast life" while others. no
older than Yourself, have hardened in
the process of living as clay bakers in a
too-fervid sun. If had a twentv-vear.

seven inches of paddy (rice in husk) in
the jar, which was buried to within
eight inches of the top. The mouth of
the jar was then closed with board

rows. me way of handling, as thus
described by well-known writer on
rural subjects the gardener now gets
on his knees, straddling the row, and
gathering up all the stalks of one plant
after another, in his left hand, packs
the soil firmly around with his right, to
retain them in a compact and erect pos
ition"-seemed to be out of place in
OUR beds. so we tried string, by wind
ing once around each plant and then
going on to the next, keeping the
string ta1t enough to hold the stalks in
place. This was decided Improvement
over the way of holding the stalks in
place by earth until the rest of the soil
was put in, but when it came to taking
the string off the soil would be tramped
around the plants and the leaves and
upper part of the stalks would be torn
off, and the time it took in remov ing it
made us almost want to go back to
the land on: more
In order to get such string we had
to hunt all over the city of Columbus.
It seems to have gone out of use, but
we finally found what we wanted.
After getting it, we put it on several
thousand plants and then waited to see
if any injury was done. When the
plants were taken out for winter it
was found that very little injury was
done, and this happened by the careless
putting on of the string. The plants were
held in position by the string until a
rain came and settled the dirt around
the plant and wet the string so that it
would give way to the growing plant
Some of the plants we gave second
banking before the string gave way
and let the plant spread.
I have helped try agood many inven-
tions, but never had any that worked SO
well from the start as this one did. We
invented a little device for putting the
string on. First we held the ball in our
hands, but this was very iliconvenient.
So one day went into the shop and
took tomato can and punched hole
through the bottom of it, nailed it to a
stick, and then with piece of panta-
loon srspender, with the buckles, fast
ened it to the right arm above the ell
bow, and at the wrist, letting the string
run out at the bottom of the can and
between the thumb and front finger.

bad This is all the drawback have
found to it yet. send sketch which
will show how it works better than
can be done in words. This plan works
just as well with the plants in rows as
it does in beds, and does not take quite
as much string. The cost of the string
was only ten cents for one thousand
plants, when it is bought at pound
rates.-E. C. Green. in Ohio Farmer.

As to removing blackheads, the one
thing not to do is to squeeze them out
This has an effect similar to drawing

these pests Repeat the operation

SleepiR g-Car Porters VINO Have Made the

SleepiRg-Car Porters VINO Have Made the
Longest Runs in the World.
The only employees of the Canadian
Pacific who are with the express trains
all the time between Montreal and Van
couver are the sleeping-car porters.
They travel nearly three thousand miles
without break and are on the road for
nearly six days. 1t is pretty hard
life, but at both ends of the route the
porters have an opportunity to rest,
though even then they hardly get suf.

nights the porter is not likely to get
over three or four hours sleep night
and he is lucky if he gets that. He is

sleeping-car tickets and accounting 70.
them adds considerably to his work.
Leaving Montreal at $40 p. m. he il
certain to have busy time at Ottawa
shortly after midnight, and then he ha:
his boots to black, and he is lucky if he
gets a wink of sleep before two or
three a. m. He takes pillow and lies
down in the smoking room when no
passengers are there, and catches cat
maps if he can. He is likely at any
moment to be aroused by bell sum-
lnoning him to one of the berths, and
the bell is sure to be kept busy after
day break.
After leaving Winnipeg he has a
comparatively easy time across the
plains, though he is compelled to be up
after midnight both at Regina and at
Calgary. At all important stations he
has to go to the telegraph Office with
statement of the accommodations un.
occupied in his car, SO that the station
agents ahead may dispose of berths.
He has busy time through the noun.
tains. AS rule he loses nearly his
entire carload at Winnipeg, and it fills
up there at once with passengers rom
the south. He loses his passengers
again at Banff, and their places are
supplied by tourists who are going on
from that pleasure resort; then many
of his passengers get off at Glazier and
others come on, SO that nearly all the
time he has much to do in the way OF
keeping his accounts, besides his duties
as porter.
At Vancouver he lays over for two
days, and as a rule he sleeps in the car,
occupying it all the time for the round
trip. When he returns to Montreal he
has been away fourteen days. Then
he has a longer rest. He is off duty
for five days, except that he has to take
his turn reporting at the depot at night
to assist the outgoing porter in taking
care of luggage. His five days rest
puts him in pretty good condition for
another two weeks siege.
The porters say the trip is rather
trying, but that there is nothing like
getting used to a thing. The company
pays them forty dollars a month and
they expect to make at least as much
more in fees. All of them are colored
men from the states and have served
on some IF our best lines.-N. Y. Sun.
