WORRYING Over Tribes.

My young friend Seth Blooty," said
Colonel Calliper, was healthy and
wealthy, and he had nothing to do but
to get as much enjoyment out of life as
he could. For time he had great sue
cess; then Il cloud arose.
Seth was not tall man-in fact, he
was rather short, but he had never
thought anything about this one way or
the other until men began to wear large
plaids, and, do you know, he was great
ly distressed because he couldn't wear
plaids as big as some of his friends could?
Seems foolish, doesn't it, for man
situated as Seth was to fret over such a
matter as that? But | venture to say
that we all know men with every reason
to be happy who make themselves mis-
cradle worrying over trihes not worth q
moments consideration. New York

A Portiere Made of Shells.

A lady who spends her summers at the
seaside has collected about a bushel,
more or less, of small, almost fiat, thin,
yellow shells, which abound ut so many
points on the coast. With these she this
year fashioned a portiere that is novel
and pretty beyond description. Each
shell is pierced with hot wire and then
strung on delicate wire go that tho
narrow end of one is next to the wide
end of the other. A number of strings
were made in this way long enough to
reach from the floor to the curtain pole,
where they We're securely fastened to a
strip of plantation cloth of the same
shade as the shells. Through the fret
work above this curtain is draped a
length of sea green india silk, falling half
way to the floor on the right side.
a less ambitious woman has made a
curious scarf by sewing these shells in
artistic confusion on either end of a
length of nile green silk, putting here
and there bits of golden green seaweed.
A fringe is made for each end by string
ing shells Oh green embroidery silk in
stead of wire.-New York Letter.

In the Vegetable Garden

All plants from which the crop has
been harvested ought to he removed, and
the ground used for late crops, such as
tnrnips, spinach, etc. Remember that q
mulch of loose earth is great help in a
dry time, and therefore hoe frequently
or otherwise keep the soil we'll stirred
between growing plants and in the
rows. Plants still i'll vigorous growth
will be benefited by frequent appl;ca-
tons of soap snds and liquid manure.
Gather the seed of garden varieties of
beans before the pods crack open or rot
from dampness. If you have not al
ready done so, give the asparagus bed a
dressing of quickly available manure.
Squashes, melons and late cucumbers
ought to DO cultivated until the vines
cover the ground.

Birds mud Their Nests.

Some birds will forsake their nests if
so much as n finger is placed within, but
others, suspicious that their secret has
been discovered, seek to hide them more
efficaciously by admirably ingenious
plans. Among the thick fern growth of
bank wood warbler had woven a
nest. The bird had evidently selected
this bank because of the quantity of
dead leaves scattered and heaped there
on. the tawny crispness of these CORE
spending nicely with the domed edifice,
thereby rendering discovery almost i'm
possible. But the fine quality of the
ferns led to its detection. Tugging at
the frail fronds, kindly disposed lady
scared the sitting warbler, which flew
with plaintive call to an adjacent bough,
and there exhibited signs of distress.
The lover of nature could not resist q
peep at the cozy home, which at a
glance appeared like a shapeless mass of
dead leaves and grasses. Some few
days after, wal-.ing through the same
wood, she was again attempted to pay
the little wood bird il visit. Puzzled
and surprised, she could not find its
whereabouts, but a few minutes search
revealed an alteration from the original
mode. The cunning bird had blocked
up the old entrance and covered that
side of the nest with dead leaves, break
ing doorway through on the opposite
side.-London Tit-Bits.

English Lfsinrs.

There are about $4,000 livings in Eng
land and Wales. OF these nearly z 500
IRE in the gift of the crown, Prince of
Wales, lord chancellor, bishops, chap
tiers, archdeacons, universities, rectors
and Wears (as such) and trustees. About
1000 others are in the patronage (as to
1,40O) of peers and Gas to the rest) of 9TH
er titled persons. Although now and
again nobleman's livings are sold, and
even distinguished colleges have been
caught tripping in the matter of simony,
it is among tho remaining $500 livings
that almost all the traffic exists. Statis-
tics fail us here.
No doubt the majority of these $500
Hvings never come into the market, and
belong to patrons who recognize their
responsibility. What fraction of them
have been acquired as to patronage or
incumbency by means moro or less faint
ed it is impossible to say. The "clergy
list" for 1892, however, shows that there
arc SOB livings where the incumbent and
the patron are the same person and 424
where both are of tho same name. A
considerable proportion of the parson
patrons have, it can hardly be doubted,
become patrons in order to present them
selves. On the other hand. some of the
593 and a large number of the 424 repre-
sent Family livings" AS to these, it
would be inaccurate to say that the liv-
ing has been bought for the sake of the
parson, but in many cases the parson
has been ordained for the sake Of the
hvlng.-Contempor Review.

CELERY FOR WINTER USE.

The New Method Successfully Tested.
Storing In Root Cellar and In Pits.
The labor involved in blancling celery
has been the great drawback to its moro
general culture. 1t has now been found
that just as good celery can be grown by
setting the plants six or seven inches
apart each way on very rich soil and do
ing nothing more to them, except to
keep the ground free from weeds till
they are large enough to completely shade
it. Being so close together, they will
grow straight up and blanch perfectly.
This method has been thoroughly tested
ON both large and small scale and has
proved n grand success. Celery grown
in this way should be sheltered from the
wind i'll some manner, as it is so brittle
that Il heavy wind will destroy it.
Celery for winter use may be stored in
root cellar or in n pit in tie garden.
Although growing celery will stand sew
eral hard frosts without injury, it is al
ways best to care for it before there is
any danger of freezing. Never handle
1T while wet or frosty. Should the tops
become frozen shear them off before
storing. If put into cellar, the roots
should be moistened occasionally with
out wetting the leaves.
Quality considered. writes core
spondent of The Rural New Yorker and
authority for the foregoing, pit in the
garden is the best place for keeping eel
cry. Dig Il trench the width of IL spade
and as deep as the celery is tall, and as
long as may be needed. Into this set the
plants upright and close together. Make
Il cover by mailing two wide boards to-
Sether A fashion. 1t is best TO have this
roof i'll sections about feet long for ease
in getting mt the celery. Better still is a
roof made of wide old doors. which will
make place largo enough for one to
crawl into to look after the celery. If
taken care Of, these covers will last for
years. Let the roof project a little be-

will draw mice. Leave openings in the
ends for ventilation and have something
on hand to stop them up with on cold
nights. Stored i'll this way. celery will
keep all winter, will blanch perfectly
and retain all its good qualities. 1t can
be taken out at one end of the trench as
wanted with very little trouble. Celery
grown i'll hotbed can very easily be
covered up and kept all winter right
where it grew.

The Tomato Vegetable, Not n Fruit.

Regarding the much vexed question,
Is the tomato q fruit or IL vegetable:
there are conflicting replies. The
American Cultivator classes tomatoes
with fruits and says in explanation:
The distinction between vegetable and
a fruit is puzzling at times. A technical
difference is that fruit incloscs the
seeds of the plant and natures above
ground, while plant growth matured
under ground is vegetable. The Prairie
Farmer on tho other hand, calls the to-
mato a vegetable and subStantiates its
claim by quoting decision of the
United States court-that the tomato is n
vegetable, not Il fruit. The question
comes before it in an action brought
Feb. !, 1887, against the collector of the
port of New York to recover back du-
ties, paid under protest, on tomatoes
imported from the West Indies.
