Matter Out of Place.

The fierce animosity some ardent
honsekeepers exhibit toward dust seems
amusingly exaggerated to quieter souls.
To the true dust hater no family trouble
or family Joy is paramount. With her
mouth she may mourn Williams sorrow
or exult over Edith's prosperity. Her
eyes are rowing. They spy the bit of
fluff upon the carpet, and she checks
her sobs to pick 1t up. The recital of
Edith's happiness is interrupted while
she walks across the floor to wipe off a
tables edge or to lament the difficulty
of keeping room clean when the win
dows are so often opened.
Births, deaths or marriages may come
and go in her household. Not one of
these disturbs her equanimity half so
much as having her sweeping day post
poned; they are all Of less Importance
than the discovery that her dreaded
enemy has gained foothold In some un-
suspected corner.
An enthusiast of this sort one evening,
with tragic air, requested her husband
to accompany her to an upper chamber.
The tired lawyer was impressed by her
solemn manner, and heavily climbed the
necessary stairs. The lady led him into
room and pointed sternly to table.
"Look at that" she said indignantly.
"Three times this week have told Mary
to dust it. believe she neglects it
purposely. l am completely disheart-
ened."
The lawyer looked at the table and
sighed.
"My dear" he replied, "todsy I have
had to deal with a murderer and two
burglars. l have also examined two
wife beatars and one child stealer, but
anything like the moral depravity of
Mary l confess never saw before
neverI"
And the lady triumphantly led the
procession down stairs.-Hal per's Bazaar

Russia and Her Schools.

The amount appropriated during 1891
for public schools by the Russian gov
eminent was 1885,, 900. How pitifully
small this is for great country like
Russia is wildly brought out by the
fact that for the year 1890 the amount
expended for the public schools in the
state of New York was $1s, ,214, ,6s7. S.

EARLY POTATOES.

As Spring Is rapidly approaching a few words

plowed to q good depth, say eight or nine
inches, being careful to avoid making skips
After the blowing is finished the next work il

be done thoroughly-no danger of narrowing
too much-and don't attempt to plant until the
ground is we'll pulverized az deep as plowed,
always bearing In mind that loose and thor
oughly worked soil is of the utmost Importance
in the growing of all root crops.
The next step is that of laying of the ground,
which can be done with an ordinary single
shovel pillow, going thrice in each row, so that
each furrow may be well cleared of all obstruc-
tions, The burrows should be two and one. half
feet apart. The troopers of the seed should
follow az closely after the plow as possible,
dropping the pieces 10 or u inches apart.
For planting prefer medium sized tubers
cut to one or two eyes, while the seed end of
the potato is generally discarded. Planting in
this way will require 12 or II bushels per acre.
The potatoes should be covered as soon as
dropped. / think an inch of ground is about
