-"Don't lose time in vain distress
Work, not worry, brings success.
Don't loose hope; who lets her stray
Goes forlornly all the way.
Don't loose patience, come what will;
Patience oftimes outruns skill.
Though be foiled your dearest plan,
Don't lose faith in God and man."

It does not seem to be generally known
that light in the winter time is the chief
agent in the destruction Of vegetables
otherwise hardy, and especially light
shining brightly on the plant when
frozen. A cabbage or turnip that is ex-
posed to the light rots readily, but will
keep perfectly sound if but slightly cov-
cred with earth. This principle should be
remembered when collecting vegetables
together i'll large masses for protection.
1t is often customary to cover such
sets of vegetables with some light ma
terial, such as leaves. hay or straw. the
result OF which generally is simply to
form harbor for mice. which are much
more destructive than the frost itself.
Water has, Of course, to be excluded.
and if the vegetable plants are set close
ly together and covered with boards to
keep out the rain, it is generally all that
is required. Water must be excluded,
or else rotting may result. For this pur-
pose it is good practice to invert vege-
tables. The cabbage especially must re-
ceive this attention. They are almost
always inverted when placed together
under boards or covers for protection,
and, i'll fact, where no covering at all is
used they will keep perfectly well when
inverted. d.-Meehan's Monthly.

She Dropped Her Mitten.

1t was just O o'clock, aud the car was
packed with people going home.
She carried some bundles. and In her
efforts 10 handle them and save them
from crushing she dropped her mtten.
She saw it go, but was powerless to stay
its descent, and it went down in sue
cessiVe stages in triangular space be-
tween herself, man who looked over
her head and an individual who was deaf.
There goes my mitten y
The deaf man leaned over and said,
"Eh 7"
"My mitten-mitten- lit fell down"
"Well, ye can't git it, mum. Y'll

the deaf man.
"Course I've got another one, aud
she wiggled tho hand incased ia her

The deaf man saw the movement, aud
knowing that women often carry car fare
inside their hand coverings reached over
and pulled her mittcn of for her.
Then she screamed
The conductor was the only man who
could edge his way 10 the scene Of trou-
Bile.
Whats the matter here p
'Lady dropped her nickel aud can't
pick it up said the deaf man.
"Didn't drop my nickel-lroppei my
mitteD," said the lady with the packages.
"Said she had another one" pursued
the deaf man, "but she lied"
you're an old doorpost," said the
woman with Que mitten.
Queer how folks go traveln' about
town with only one nickel" said the
deaf man.
They get along better'n people with
no ears" said the woman who didn't
drop her nickel.

passengers.
Then the conductor said, "Faro,

nickel that she hal been carrying ia
her mouth.
Thought it was in yer mitten, said
the deaf man.
"You don't know how t, think" said
the woman.

both 10 her mouth p said the deaf man.
"You ought to stuff both your own
mittens in yer mouth" said the woman.
"Ain't ye afraid yen swaller yer
nickel that way some time p asked the
deaf man.
If do, | reckon ii won't injure my
hearin', said tho woman.
Then the conductor got DOWN on the
floor and recovered the womans mitten,
and she got of at the next crossing
wondering why some people didn't carry
car trumpets.
The deaf man said, by Of way en-
tightening the other passengers, II guess
it was her mitten instead Of her nickel
that she dropped"
