spring. Many save them in order 10
secure the I've with which to make soap,
but often after being used for this pur-
pose, they are shOyeled out of the hop
per and allowed to waste. While leach
ing detracts something from their value,
they are yet too good a fertilizer to
throw away. They can be used profit
ably in the orchard, as nearly all trees
will be benefited by having a quantity
spread broadcast almost as far as the
branches extend. For peaches and
grapes ashes are especially valuable. In
the truck patch they are highly advant-
ageous to potatoes, although they can
be used to an advantage with nearly
all garden crops. Onions do we'll with a
liberal amount worked well into the
surface of the soil. In the garden it is
not necessary to work deep, as the great

their supply of food from the surface
In addition to furnishing plant food,
ashes aid materially in loosening up
and making friable 4 stiff, hard SOIL and
in furnishing the potash supply. one of
the three leading elements needed in

Some Clever Catches.

Harpers: A young lady was once
talking with very young and very
smart man, who was inclined to air his
knowledge of the languages i little be-
yOnd what he felt that modeSty re
quired. She therefore said to him, with
an air of Difference to his superior at
tainments:
You are Latin scholar. / wish you
Woul tell me how to pronounce the word
sometimes
The youth, with an air of kindly pat
ronage, replied: Il have not met the
word in my Latin reading, but l should
have no hesitation in saying that it
giving it in four syllables, the accent
on the Second).
Thank you for telling me-" replied
the girl, demurely. Il have always
heard it pronounced sometimes, but if
you say the other way, that must be
right"
This is similar to the perhaps familiar
catch OF the pronunciation of ''bac-kac-
he," which will often surprise the min-
itiated by proving to be only back-ache.
1t also reminds one of 4 question printed
some years ago us to the way Of spelling
''need'-to need bread. The average
person will reply 'knead, of couse;' but
the answer will be, that it is the way
to spell knead dough, but not to need
bread"
a woung lady recently miSled family
in 4 most heartlcss way. She remarked,
Il had Il letter today, and how do you
imagine the little proposition to- was

'"Too," suggested mamma.
'Two," suggested papa.
"Tew," "Teu," "Tu," ventured various
voices.
Lily, who was much engaged with her
French lessons just then, suggested
tout" and Tom, in derision, improved
upon that with ''tueue," declal Ing that
must be right in order to rhyme with
queue"
"An wrong" exclaimed the young
lady, when the alphabet and their in
genuity were well exhausted.
Just then Teddy, who had been So
berly absorbed i'll his bread and honey,
and who was in his first term at school,
and wrestling with the problem of
words in two letters, raised his head,
and with an air Of decision and i'm
portance, gravely spelled, ITO, to-"

peal of laughter.

mayed chorus, that is the right way TO

the way my correspondent spelled it.

Rust on Apples.

Judge Miller in Rural World: This is
a universal complaint the present sea-
son and I have my share of it. One
thing I have learned is that the fruit
on the lower branches which are shaded
is the most affected. The open tops have
much the cleanest specimens. Low
heads are recommended and I have
always advocated them and still do, but
there is limit. Fruit on limbs near the
ground is seldom perfect. At one time
early in the summer, my Newton Pip
pins threatened to be all rusty. This
was after dry period. but few good
rains checked the disease. While pick
ing these I was again impressed with
the importance of thinning out while
the fruit is small. I did this on about
half of one tree when some other work
called me away and it was not finished
The apples on the part I had thinned
are worth more than double the re
mainder. My orchard was too full, and
no doubt next season I viii have what
| they call an ''off year.

NEATLY DONE.
Life of Child Saved by Cowboy.

Life of a Child Sayed:by Il Cowboy.
st. Louis Globe Democrat: THE
prettiest throw of the laSso / ever saw
was down in New Mexico last summer"
said D. G. Smith, western cattleman.
Il had gone out to look at a bunch of
cattle 1 thought of buying, and was
standing in front Of the owners house
discussing the proposed trade. A two
year-oId child was playing about the
lawn, when suddenly it clapped its
hands and cried out as though highly
elated. I turned my head and saw, to
my horror, that it was amusing itself
with a monster rattlesnake that had
just coiled to strike. 1t was shooting
it's forked tonge out almost into the
face Of the child, and it was this action
that so pleased the little one. At my
side stood a Mexican cowboy with a
lasso on his arm. Quick as flash it
went whizzing through the air and
closed around the neck Of the serpent
just as 1t drew it's head back for the
fatal stroke. The father of the child
nodded his head, remarked that it was
a capital throw, and resumed our dis
cussion with imperturbable gravity.
Your Mexican is nothing if not social.
It is the result Of his Indian blood"

LESSER OF TWO EVILS.

Why Chinese Pirates Welcome the Intro
or ton OF the GuiIiotine.
1t Is said that the guillotine has re-
Gently been introduced by the French
into their colony of Tonquin. The
French, as al the world is aware. have
had, and still have, plenty of work to
Go in the way of eXterminating piracy
IN that vast and rs yet unremunerative
possession. And the method by which
they endeavor to exterminate the pirate
when they catch him, which, us rule,
they do not,) is that of decapitation.
That ceremony, according to the Lon
don Globe, has hitherto been performed
IN the primitive and rather barbarous
native way. The culprit, being placed
III a convenient position, used to light
cigarette and wait for the executioner
to take shot at his neck with big
sword. Sometimes the headsman aimed
straight and sometimes he did not, and
feeling had long existed among the
gentlemen Of the piratical profession
that an execution thus executed was
distinctly an unpleasant process for the
patient. Consequently the introduction
OF the wood of justice" has by no
means produced the effect which the
French authorities desired and expected.
Instead of being impressed with the
ho~or of this mode of execution, the
natives of Tonquin are said to be
highly delighted with it. In fact. they
regard the guillotine as most ingeni-
Gus article de Paris, and they have
already witnessed one execution with
every demonstration of enthusiasm.
Dying, they say, is made so delightfully."-
easy by this admirable invention of the
European intelligence. The re-
suit is that considerable satisfaction is
expressed in piratical circles. and it is
anticipated that piracy will
shortly increase very considerably, as
nobody in Tonquin would mind being
inStantaneously by the gull
lotine. Death, in short, has lost most Of
its terror because the process of dying
has been rendered SO simple

Soil for Plants in Pots.

Once upon time it was considered
essential to have Il different mixture Of
ingredients for each class Of plants, and
in old gardening books these receipts
from a considerable portion of their con-
tents. Of course much of it was purely
fanciful, as is proved from the fact that
equally good, if not better results, are
now obtaiEed with simpler ingredients.
The staple for good potting soil is rotted
SOds. Mr. William Saunders, of Wash
ington, says these should be cut from
old, tough meadows, which have been
for years in grass, and should not be
over two inches in thickness and piled
in heap for two or three months be-
fore using. The fibrous matter they con-
tain furnishes the best kind of plant
food. The only addition required may
be portion Of sand and this only where
the sods have been taken from clayey
soil

Potatoes on Old Ground.

Ohio Farmer: Four years ago plant
ed one acre in potatoes, and when dug
there was not one bushel Of salable po-
tatoes in the lot. I was told to put it
down in clover. I did so, and the clover
was rank and heavy. I MANFRED the
clover ground, and this last spring had
it ploughed and planted again in pota-
toes. have just dug them; they are
large and good yield, but as before /
will have to feed them. I am in hopes
some one will take the floor and give us
some light on the subject and a remedy.
I intend next spring, if live, to try put
ting wood ashes on part of the ground
and commercial fertilizer on part. and
plant again in potatoes and see what eff

Farm Notes,

Sheep digest their food more thorough.
~ than most farm stock and hence re
quire less feed 10 produce satisfactory
results.
1t is better to use preventives than
remedies for chicken cholera. The best
are perfect cleanliness, freedom from
yer1nin and I1lre drinking water.
Every weed or bunch of grass that
grows where they are not wanted takes
just as much plant food from the soil rs
one Of the plants which compose the
crop.
Bookkeeping means work, energetic
work, a place for everything and every
thing in it's place, and to know how to
do things just at the right time and in
the right place, if we would make it
profitable.
1t is Il curious fact that the same
methods will counteract the effects both
on drought and excessive rainfall. We
mean drainage and deep and thorough
cultivation. Upon this foundation good
crops are built.

Getting Even.

New York Sun: A level-headed wo

first bloom of her youth, but is making
out extremely well on the aftermath,
has successfully solved the problem of
quenching other Women's inquiries With
regard to her age.

ask me what my age is" she explained,
Il always beam upon her and immedi-
ately exclaim, oh, my dear girl, am
great deal older than you area whole
year at least And then, before she can
find time or breath for another ques-
ton, add, And by the way, what is
your exact age, dearY The woman

at least five years younger than would

The Irish Pig Improvement aSSocia-
ton has been endeavoring for some time
past to improve the quality of Irish
pigs. 1t will be remembered that there
are no hogs in Ireland. They are ali
pigs. AT Il meeting of the Provision
CurerS' association held in Belfast, re-
Gently, some advice was given to pig
breeders. 1t was stated that public
taste had been going lately in the dIrec-
ton Of leaner pork, and that it could
not be too strongly impressed upon the
minds OF breeders that ii they expected
to obtain good prices, they must attend
to this point carefully; that the short,
dumpy pig, Il moving mass of fat, that
IL former years would have taken the
prize at the village show, is no longer
wanted for curing purposes, and that to
meet the requirements OF the trade the
pork must be long, lean, well fed and
in good condition. We think there is
an unmiStakable drift in that direction
i'll America as well as Europe, as indi-
Gated by the higher prices paid during
the summer months for singers soft
81. While this is true there will always
be Il demand for lard hogs, and the
point to be aimed at is to secure breed

\ Palm Tree lesson.

J. X. Miller, d. D. : We learn that it
is out of struggles we must get the no.
blenesS and beauty of character after
which we are striving One of the old
Scotch martyrs had on his crest the
motto, Sub pondere crcsco ('I grow I'M
der Il Weight'O. On the crest was Il palm
tree, with weights depending from its
fronts. In spite of the weights the tree
was straight as an arrow, lifting its
crown of graceful foliage high up in the
serene air. 1t is well known that the
palm grows best loaded down with
weights. Thus this martyr testified that
he, like the beautiful tree of the Orient,
grew best in his spiritual life under
weights. This is the universal law of
spiritual growth. There must be resist
ance, struggle, conflict, or there can be
no development of strength. We are IN
clined to pity those whose lives are
scenes of toll and hardship, but Gods
angels do not pity them if only they
are victorious; for in their overcoming
they are climbing daily upward towards
the holy heights of sainthood. The
beatitudes in the Apocalypse are all for
overcomers. Heavens rewards and
crowns lie beyond battle plains. Spir-
itual life always needs opposition. 1t
f1ourishes most luXuriantly in adverse
circumstances. We grow best under
weights We find our richest blessings
In the burdens we dread to take up.
