Wearing wigs an offen.e.

Ladies who have been accustomed
to heighten their charms by the wiles
OF the toilet table had better keep
away from the Transvaal. They
would not be long in Pretoria before
they got into serious trouble. The
Second Chamber of the Volksraad has
passed and sent upto the First Cham

N wig for instance, and is caught
in the dreadful act, may be fined $40
or sent to prison for fortnight.
An exception will perhaps be
made in favor of actors and actresses
while they are on the stage. Presum-
ably it will be also an offense to wear
d mask or go out on stills; but those
are amusements in which people do
not want to indulge every day. With
all the details OF this highly moral bill
we are not familiar; but If It prohibits
wigs it must surely condemn that ar

which so many ladies are, perhaps err

A Novel Corn Tie.

A writer in the Ohio Practical
Farmer says: For several years we
have been using the blades of the
common cat tail (Typha latifolia) for
tying corn-fodder. The blades should
be cut before frost and in time that
they may cure partly before they
need to be used. If they are too dry
and brittle, dampen the bundle as
you would rye straw. A grass sickle
is very good for cutting them. We
think them better than straw, being
much stronger, nicer to handle, and if
cared for, will last for a number OF
years. II this plant is growing near
you it might be well to try it. Or if it
is not handy it would, | think, be
profitable to start it. 1t will thrive
in IA rich black soil if there is a
constant supply of water. 1t will
produce more bands on any area and
doe not need to be cared for as rye.

especially valuable on lawns and in

houses and pot plants generally it
should be used in connection with a
small amount of potash salt. In the
open field have used it at the rate OF
1000 pounds per acre without any
injury, and this is probably as large a
quantity as could be applied at one
time economically. A much smaller
quantity. from 400 to 600 pounds,

plication to a lawn or field in grass.
To the lawn it would be well to apply
it several times in the course of the

it should be applied several times at
