A very sad domestic flair hi.u an air ing in the City court and local press, in which Git is" and lit is not," with an accompaniment of uncomplimentary epi- thets, were passed around, confusing to the public, that ought not to have known anything about it. Jealousy, with or without cause, lies at the root Insanity may be the result. Poor human nature !!

THE TENT CATERPILLAR.

Newton, Weston and other towns of Massachusetts are protecting themselves from the ravages of the tent caterpillar. During the last season the Newton Cent CT improvement association distributed $75 in prizes for the destruction of cater pillar eggs. The plan of the next cam paign is thus described by Daniel D. Slade in Garden and Forest: ''In order that the work may be carried forwar systematically next year, circular has been prepared and sent to the citizens of Newton, in which it is stated that prob ably 25,000,0 eggs of the tent caterpil- lar were destroyed last year, and that, in order to stimulate the efforts of the boys and girls of Newton, it is proposed to of fer $l for every lot of 1000 belts. As this will require funds, contributions are invited. The circular also invites the attention of iandholders to the fact that worthless trees and shrubs growing on their premises, especially apples and wild cherries, should be cut down, as they are favorite breeding places for numerous pests. In addition to this cir cular an advertisement was placed in the local papers, announcing that the Newton horticultural society would pay d bounty for every lot of 1000 belts of eggs of tent caterpilars received before the first of April. It may be added that it is eminently wise to prepare for the work at an early date, so that collections can be made during the winter and spring mo nths.

AN INTERESTING "REMINISCENCES.

Editor BEE: The death and burial of Miss Lydia Parish seems to be the finale and closing up scene of a happy and pros porous family that once filled an impor- tant place in the annals of Washington society. From my earliest recollection the Parish place." homelike inn, dis pensed hospitality with a lavish hand and many's the good time a host of people have had there. Older inhabitants could spin yarns of doings and happenings there by the hour, but l will not attempt it. One incident that comes vividly to my mind in connection with the deceased perhaps I may be er-nitted to mention. l was one of the original "Gunnery boys" when it first started. Miss Mary Brinsmade's girls seminary was at the height of it's prosperity and we alternat- ed every two weeks in giving exhibitions, recitations, etc. Mir Gum selected for a play "The Rivals" (which still holds the boards in leading theaters of New York at times) and assigned to me the rather difficult and important part of Mrs Mala- prop we very SoOu ulSSoNClCu Hhae was too broad shouldered for any ordi- nary woman's dress waist to fit me. Miss Parish was then very stout and fleshy. With considerable difficulty they man. aged to robe or costume me in one of her black silk dresses. l have been told since that there was good deal of opposition among the other players to my being as- signed to that part but Mir Gum prevail ed and have understood that he used to relate the circumstances up to the last years of his life with good deal of gus
 to. He said "he knew I could do it and l did" As it was the only time I ever remember to have taken a players part in theatricals, 1 hope l may be pardoned this bit of egotism.-[A. s. Baldwin.

DEATH OF SHELDON E. MEEKER.

The family of Edward E. Meeker in Christian street met with sad affliction ons Friday of last week in the sudden death by accident of Sheldon E., oldest son of Mir and Mrs Meeker. On the morn ing of that day MT Meeker, with his son, went up on the mountain north of their home to saw down some trees. The wind blowing briskly that morning made it difficult to decide just how tree would fall. About II o'clock in the forenoon tree having been sawed through com menced to fall different somewhat than Edward intended and he jumped aside quickly to avoid injury. Not so with Sheldon. He seemed for the moment un- decided and the trunk of the tree hit his leg below the knee, endwise, inficting a severe bruise and wound and fracture of the bone and dislocating his ankle. Mir Meeker brought him nome on his horse sled as soon as possible and physician was called. His symptoms did not ap- pear to the family dangerous till evening when he showed strong sigHs of weak ness, caused by the shock of the accident and he !died about midnight, aged l3 years and II months. His funeral was attended at Mir Meekel's on Monday of this week at 1.30 p. m. and the burial fol- lowed in the cemetery here. Mir and .drs Meeker have the sympathy of the entire community in their deep sorrow and be- reavement.

Live Farm Topics.
POINTS ABOUT oNION-RAIsING.

J. II. H. Gregory of Marbehead, Mass, tells in the American Cultivator how land should be prepared for the successful raising of onions. He says: I have raised acres of onions on meadow or muck soil, and have seen hundreds of acres raised by others. I refer especial ly to the great onion meadows of Orange county, New York, where upward of 800 acres were growing in one piece when 1 travelled 200 miles to visit the To- cality. 1 desired to learn how to treat a meadow of my own which I wished to bring into onions. Success in onion rais- ing on all such land that have become acquainted with turns on attention to two important matters. One in the line of drainage, never to allow the land to get either too wet or too dry. This is accomplished by having control of the
 water up to within about two and half feet of the surface. If allowed to rise higher than this the soil becomes too wet
 If all owed to fall below this then it $ to
 dry for the crop. The other condition on which succ ss depends is on heavy
 application of gritty soil to the surface, at the rate of from 100 to 200 horse loads per acre. This needs to be kept near the surface, and must not, therefore, be | plowed under to any depth, the harrow and cultivator being most relied upon. | Barnyard or other bulky manure is not l the best for such meadows, as they al
 ready contain a sulphur of humus, and
 much of the nitrogen needed for the crop | solved bone and unbleached ashes are the best fertilizers for them. The C. us- | tic potash in the ashes will unlock the food that centuries have been storing in such soil.

A LIVELY CHURCH SOCIAL.

The meeting Of the ladies' sewing soci- ety at F.. R. Beeman's on Wednesday ev- ening of last week deserves more than a passing notice. About 70 were present and much work was accomplished, there for, by the ladies. A goodly number of gentlemen joined their wives and "best girls at tea time and the supper was most excellent and satisfactory. After supper a season of song and vocal music was enjoyed by the guests. Prof E. A. Hayes sang songs very nicely and was heartily encored. A few were so affect ed by the strains of the waltz music as to whirI up and down the long reception rooms few times. The entertainment closed with the rendering of few famil- far songs, "America,' "Home, Sweet Home, g "Ann:e Laurie," etc. E.R.Bee- man, with Mir and Mrs E. A. Hayes did everything possible to make the entire evening most highly pleasing and enter taining for all that were present.

ECONOMY IN FARM BUILDING.

There isa false economy widely preva- lent in the construction, not only cf farm- houses, but of barns, stables and other buildings that are intended to shelter stock. Mere size of superficial surface does not count in this. It has not warm ed, and whether animal heat is kept up by extra fuel in the stove or extra grain burned in the animal economy, it soon makes the cheaper built shelter the more expensive. It may seem to be economy to make the largest possible show for the money, but it is far otherwise in the end. Building paper, like the Neponset waterproof, is now cheap and easily ap- piled. It is true economy to use it,not merely to double walls, but to treble them, leaving two or three spaces of confined air between walls.

Horses at hard work especially if quick motion is desired, should not be fed main ly on hay. It is too bulky in proportion to nutritiye value, and with most kinds of hay the nutrition is not the right sort. It produces warmth rather than muscle and strength. Good clover hay is more strength-giving than most other hays, but it is too palata ble to be fed all horses will eat. They gorge themselves so that the digestive organs require most of the animal energy. With a partly-grain ration, less work is put upon the diges- tive apparatus, and what strength is thus saved is worth more for other parts of the system.-I Troy Times.
