How often we pass a farmhouse and
outbuildings that are pleasantly located
and have all the natural advantages
for a pleasant home, but where every
thing is at skies and sevens- Old brok-
en-down wagons and carts, discarded
farming tools of every description, rot
ting lumber, broken crockery, rusty
tinware and rubbish of every kind,
with rank weeds and brush everywhere,
disfgure the place. Clear off all use
less material, cut and burn the brush
and weeds, Level ard grade the ground
and sow grass seed Plant a few shade
trees and Towering shrubs, NOW your
lawn and you will be surprised and
delighted at the change. If at any
time You wish to sell your farm you
will realize hundreds of dollars more
than You otherwise would in all its dis
order and unpleasantness--F. Whit

FORTUNES IN A TEACUP.
Your Fate Foretold by the Clustering or
Scattered Leaves.

AouE n ohNAohh " nv
Scattered Leaves.
II anybody happens to have two
spoons in their cup it is a sign that
they will figure prominently at a we'd
ding before the year is out.
If cream or milk is put in your cup
before the sugar it will cross our love.
A tea stalk floating on top of the tea
is called a stranger. When this hap
pens to unmarried women they should
stir the tea briskly and then place the
spoon in the ,enter of the cup, holding
it quite still.
If the stranger in its gyrations is at
tracted to the spoon he will come that
evening: should it, however, cling to
the sides he will not come at all.
We may observe that it really de-
ponds on the stage of the atmosphere
as to whether the stalk goes to the mid
die or not.
This cluster of bubbles is also called
a kiss and portends that the owner
will be thus saluted during the course
of the day.
A cluster of tea leaves with a few
stragglers at the front at the bottom
of the cup signifies n hearse or n funer-
al, while the couple of leaves at the
bottom, if close together, signify a
wedding.
If the tea grounds take the form of 4
woman on the side of the cup it signi-
fies n rival in love; If 1t looks like n
bird, it means news from a distant
friend; if it looks like a book it refers
to a well-known acquaintance who is
at college; II it looks like a tree, it
a sooD taking n journey into the
country; il two stalks come together,
it means you are to meet n man; if it
looks like a snake, it is an enemy.
If it is 4 dog, you will meet or lear
from a friend; if it looks like a house
or n shed. it means that when married
you will keep house for yourself and
not board; if il looks like a spire, it
means you will be married in church;
if it looks like n duck or n swan, it
that you will cross the ocean;
if it looks like a bridge it is an unques-
toned sign that your marriage will be
happy and your life long and strong.
If it looks like n man fishing with a
rod, it points to a preacher who may
either Officiate at your marriage or be-
come your husband; il it looks like a
man with many spots lying before him,
it means that your husband will be
rich, and may be a banker; il a broken
bridge turns up on the side of the cup
it means that your marriage will be
unhappy.
II there is undulations on the side Of
the cup. some faint and some heavier.

times severe.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-

MUTILATEO N

How Torn or burned Bank Notes Are
Treated In the National Treasury.
BY means of a piece of glass the size
of a bank note, marked into twenty
four squares, the face of the bill is de.
termined. If sixteen of these squares
can be covered by the mutilated bill
the whole value is paid; if less than
sixteen and more than twelve, half the
value; if less than twelve it is rejected
entirely. Twenty-Five dollars found
in the nest of Il mouse were recently
sent to the treasury in n condition that
dcficd recognition by the naked eye.
Mrs. Brown went to work with n mi
croscope and patiently sorted ont the
whole mount. One hundred and eighty
dollars, which went through the Van
derbilt fire at Newport, came to Mrs
Brown as n charrcd mas of paper,
which she, however, identified.
When an express car is burned tho
safe is sent, unopened, to the treasury
department. There it is opened by
women experts, who empty the con-
tents, often only a mass of ashes,
and sift them through a sieve.
The charred bits of money are
then picked out and submit
ted to a microscopic examination.
Not long ago twenty-five tiny dia-
monds were recovered by sitting the
ashes 4 third time before burning
them. The vaults are often filed with
the stencil of money recovered from
dead bodies in pestilent districts, as
during the prevalence of yellow fever
in the south. Such money is fumigated
and no diseases have ever been COM
municlted to employees.
GOLD and silver are also counted by
women, and women manipulate the
machine which has taken the place of
shears for trimming notes. The ma
chine which stamps the bank notes is
also in charge of women.
In the t~reasurer's Office is the last OF
the original seven women employees
Miss Elizabeth Stoner. She keeps the
p~ay-rolls of the navy. Her work neces-
states the reducing of every variety of
foreign money to u values. FOr
thirty wears Miss Stoner has occupied
almost the same desk-room. and many
a time has she heard ''heelers" ousted
with small ceremony when they came
10 urge the treasurer to discharge her
to make room for a voter.-N. y. Sun.

FARM AND GARDEN.
o ~INCUBATORS
They Are Very Useful Things to Hs

they Are Very Useful Things to Have
Around the Farm.
An incubator, says Fred Grundy in
the Prairie Farmer, is a mighty handy
thing to have about when the hens
take it into their heads, as they fire.
quently do, to dodge the Matching bust
ness until the blossoms of May are
scenting the air. While the machine
won't hatch any better than the hen.
it makes n person independent OF the
whims of the shallow-pated cackler.
With it one can bring forth the chicks
whether the old hen wills it or not
She can lay all summer if she wants to
/ do not think it advisable for the
farmers wife to attempt to get chicks
out OF the shell while the SNOW is fly
ing. 1t is far better to wait until the
grass begins to peep up and sunshine
feels delightful.
Now, as to buying the machine.
Don't wait until spring before you buy
it. for if you do you will certainly be
disappointed, and more than likely
have an incubator for sale at less than
half cost before the 18th of July ex-
plodes. If you intend to get one, have
it delivered in early winter. You will
be getting some eggs then n
you can practice with it-run it
two or three clips before spring comes
and business begins in earnest. Try
it the first two or three times

ietter tn Farm and Fircside as follows:
MY wife was always complaining of
not having a coop that she could clean
properly. 20 l went to work and built
her one which answers the purpose, at
least she thinks So. The drawings
which | send you explain themselves.
The coop can be made single or double,
and may be of benefit to some one of
your many readers
The coop is easily made, and costs
but very little. The door, which is
opened by simply turning it up, as seen
at Fig. .. is made with n half-inch
mesh of wire, tackled to Il frame with
