STREET-DRIvING IN PARIS.

The tremendous iproar created by tho

The noise OF the streets of Paris
would cause an American 10 fancy him
self mt home ON the Fourth of July.
The average Partisan is no more TO he
trusted with a whip than hc is with Il
locomotive whistle. From dawn till
dawn the cracking of cabmcn's whips
makes the air trcmulous with resonant
agitation. Every man who drives
horse carries long whip-lash, and
cracks ii necessarily. Crack, spat
spattcr, spatter crack, crack, go the
whips in ncver-ending chorus all
around you wherever you walk, and
apparently in your apartment when
you try % sleep II You want To inn
agine what IL sounds like, just fancy
every third or fifth man in New York
going about firing giant torpedoes all
day and night. These terrible inflic-
tions. the drivers, are quite picturesque.
They wear red waistcoats as rule,
and invariably sport tall hats of some
shiny material that looks like patent
| leather. Their hat bands are often of
metal silvered or gilded. They are II

mouths as with their whip-lashes, and
though had no quarrel with any,
heard of or saw quarrels between them
and their fares on all sides They have
no silly scruples against II battle of
tongues with woman, and the Ameri-
can ladies in Paris were often quite ter
rorized by these noisy malcontcnts.
There are few, IL any, hansoms in
Paris, the small open barouche being
the favored public conveyance. TO see
n myriad of these lifting about ut

lights; but in the open places, like
parts of the Champs Elysees where
the foliage filings dense shadows, the
lamps of the cabs produce IA beautiful
effect. buses are plenty, but lest the
driver should fail to make the neces-
sary amount of noise with his whip
and voice, he is re-enforced by the use
of n horn fixed beneath his foot board,
and worked by sort of bellows proc
ess. An expert driver is therefore
able to make three sorts of noises al
once In Paris the public vehicles are
too few and too slow. Paris is as far
behind London in means of public con
veyance as London Is behind New
York. -Harpcr's Weekly.

into the Rue de Reims TO prevent per-

others were ranged all along the walls
to maintain the perfect silence which
was absolutely necessary, for everyone
knew that any sound awakening the
little sleeper would be instantaneous
death by causing him to fall from his
dangerous position down the fearful
mum ber Of feet which lay between him
and the ground.
The question now arose as to how
the boy was to be saved. There seemed
but one way; TO take out the grating as

But who would undertake so hazard

IN one of the beds in the long dormltOry
slept small representative of our own
republic, Frank Harrington, whose
parents had left him to receive his WIN
tcr's schooling ut Sainte Barbc, while
they were travelling abroad. Frank
was great favorite among the boys
bright, overHowing with fun and full
,of American grit They admired the
little fellows courage and daring, and
that fine sense of honor which is born
in the breast of every true American
boy And Frank Harrington, II the
truth must be told, rather enjoyed all
this admiration, and was not little
proud of being leader among the
French boys.
At the extreme end of the dormitory
stood the bed of the only boy who re-
fused TO acknowledge the reign in the
preparatory school of "i6 petit Amer
icain," rs Frank was called. A proud,
naughty nature had Louis de Chaves,
the last of long line OF titled ances-
tors, faithful followers of the Bour-
bons, and hating with an inherited
hatred all that savored of republican
ism. Although younger than Frank by
several years. he seemed to have taken
an instructive dislike to the careless,
happy-hearted boy and more than once
had succeeded in bringing him into dis
grace.
1t had been holiday, and the boys
had been having n very jolly time, SC
being unusually tired tonight they
were unusually subdued and, after q
whispered word or two about the
games of the day, went quietly tc
sleep. Gradually the few noises about
the college ceased, until the ticking OF
the clocks could be heard through al
the buildings. Outside, the streets oi
Paris grew more and more deserted
and the lonely footsteps of the sergeant'
de vMe were the only sounds which
broke the stiffness of the night.
Frank Harrington had played LITTLE
too hard that day, or his supper, some
what better than usual on account o
the holiday, had disagreed with him
for he was very restless, and starte'
many times in his sleep, until at las
his eyes opened wide and would no

THE largest geese for market are Sc

FIGHTING PARASITES.
The Proper Way and Time for the AppIi-
cation of Insecticides.

The Proper Way and Time for the AppIi-
cation of Insecticides.
It is important that the use of insec.
ticides for preventing the depredations
of insects should begin just as early in
the season as possible. A delay of one
week may give the insects an opportu-
nifty in their favor which cannot be
overcome later on. 1t has been DEM
onstrated that all arsenic2l poisons, and
especially paris green and London pur-
Pile, will be eaten if the solutions are
applied to the trees at the proper time
and in the right manner. One pound
of paris green in 200 gallons of water,
or one pound of London purple in 400
gallons of water are the proportions.
1t is applied with what is known as the
sprayer, a force-pump adapted so as to
throw fine mist or spray, which falls
on every portion of the leaves and BIOS
SONS.
Many insects lay their eggs on the
blossoms, and the larvae soon eat their
way down into the young fruit that
forms from the blossom. If it gets into
the fruit it is safe from harm, as no in
secticides can be SO applied as to
reach them. But when the blossoms
are sprayed the young creatures are
compelled to eat the poison, and are
killed. The point to observe is that
the most important time is when
the trees are blossoming, and
to avoid mistakes the work of
spraying the trees should be done sew
~, Of fIn
blossoms are missed. The appliances
that have been invented for the pur-
pose of spraying trees permit Of the
work being done thoroughly, easily and
quickly.
The bordeaux mixture, so frequently
given, is also applied by the sprayer,
and unless the work is done as early as
possible the time will be lost. For
grapevines the spraying should be done
ten days before the blossoms appear,
and also just after blossoming, as well
as several times while the grapes are
growing. One mixture is prepared by
dissolving one pound of sulphate of cop
per in three gallons of hot water, and
when cold a pint of ammonia is added,
the whole reduced with twenty-five
gallons of water. This is known as
the ammonia and copper solution, and
dispenses with the lime, while the bor-
deaux mixture requires lime, which is
Objectionable to some. All plants upon
which fungi appear, or are liable to
appear, should be sprayed, and the
sooner it is done the Philadel-

TRAINING HORNS.
Begin at Stage When the Growth Is
Most Rapid.

Begin at a Stage When the Growth Is
Most Rapid.
Scraping the horns for the purpose of
forming an incurve has been practiced
with greater or less degree of sue
cess To accomplish the object, says a
correspondent of Jersey Bulletin, the
scraping should be done on the inner
side, toward which the turn is desired,
and it should be repeated, if necessary,
as the horn makes growth. The horns
of most cattle, Jerseys especially, nat
urally grow with an inward curve, and
this practice is an aid to nature in re-
fractory cases. Let the scraping be as
evenly done as possible along the sur
face desired for the curve, SO that all
parts will yield to the pressure in the
same proportion. The governing
principle is that the horn thus s.raped
on one side is weakened, and as growth
proceeds offers lessened resistance to
the stronger parts that have been left
undis- urbed, and gradual giving way
of the former is inevitable. The
symmetry of the curve will depend
upon the care and skill with which the
work is done; the process is slow and
should be begun before the horns get
too large, and at a stage when growth
is most apid, for best results.

OIL MEAL FOR HOGS.


1t Can BE Used to Excellent Advantage

One of the best rations that can be
made up for growing pigs is 80 per cent.
middlings, % per cent. corn meal, 10
per cent. wheat bran and 10 per cent.
oil meal A brood SOW, especially one
that has farrowed, needs q ration that
will aid her to furnish 4 large supply of
milk. When this is the case a larger
quantity both of oil meal and bran
should be used, lessening the quantity
of corn meal and middlings.
At this season with stock of all kinds
it is quite an item to furnish good va
riety. Generally stock of all kinds
have been fed long time on dry feed,
and it is necessary to furnish as good a
ration as possible. With the brood
sows, especially, good care must be
taken to feed well. In fact, after far.
much. The better the SOW is fed the
better the growth and thrift of the
pigs. One of the best materials to
use at this time is oil meal 1t should
be used in connection with bran, mid
dlings, corn meal, ground oats or some
other ground feed. Oil meal is rich
more so than corn meal or any of the
other materials. 1t can be fed dry,
thoroughly mixed with other materials,
in tight troughs to avoid waste. The
better plan, however, of feeding is to
mix well and make into a slop with
skim milk. or at least to soak it until
soft. The objection to feeding it dry
is that much of the ground feed will
not be thoroughly masticated, and,
therefore, will not be digested or as
simulated, and this implies more or less
waste of food.
10 fatten hogs oil meal can be used
to good advantage with corn. While
corn is one of the very best foods that
can be supplied to fattening hogs, better
results can be secured by using some
thing else with it, and oil meal, being
richer and fully as good for fattening,
can be used to good advantage at this
time.
Hogs kept in good condition during
the winter can be fattened rapidly by
having the run Of clover pasture and
fed literally on corn and oil meal-St.

When the trees are to be removed long
distances, the plan used in Fig. should
be adopted. First dig around and
loosen the tree, care being taken not to
injure the roots by digging too near
the tree. Place the connecting pieces
(M) of the standards Or R) against the
tree, to which fasten by ropes winding
cloths or mating about the tree, to pre-
vent breaking the bark. One horse at
tached to the rope OBJ will easily raise
the tree and ball of earth and place i.
upon the stone boat or drag (P), upon
which it may be transplanted long dis
tanccs without injury. 1t may be re-
moved from this vehicle to the hole
prepared for its reception by the same
process
Another quite common method is to
use the rear wheel and axle of farm
