White clover and bluegrass make
the best mixture for lawn.
Buy plants of hardy perennials
Most of them are difficult to grow
from seed.
Prune your trees now and the wound
will be quickly healed by the running

Make definite plan for your gar
den. Don't put in everything helter

Get a practical florists advice if you
try roses; this is n hard climate to
grow them in.
Hollyhocks do best when treated as
biennials. They are less able to stand
our severe climate after Towering.
The bridal wreath is pretty shrub,
whether in flower or leaf. Don't prune
it and the slender branches will droop
gracefully with the weight of their
white foliage.
Double petunias are beautiful flow

petunias, which are also very pretty,
grow from seed like weed. New

Why a Wife Changes Her Name.

1t is said that the practice of the
wife's assuming the husbands name
at marriage originated from Roman
custom, and became the common prac-
tice after the Roman occupation.
Thus, Julia and Oetavia, married to
Pompey and Cicero, were called by
the Romans Julia of Pompey, and
Octavia of Ciero, and in later times
married women in most European
countries signed their names in the
same manner, but ommitted the "of !"
Against this view may be mentioned
that during the sixteenth and even the
beginning of seventeenth century the
usage seems doubtful, since we see
Katherine Parr so signing herself after
she had been twice married, and we
always hear of Lady Jane Grey mot
Dudley and Arabella Stuart mot
Seymour). Some persons think that
the custom originated from the Scrip
tural teaching that husband and wife
are one. 1t was decided in the case of
Bon VS.. Smith, i'll the reign of Eliza
beth, that Il woman by marriage loses
her former name and legally receives
that of her husband. New York Tele

Those who have trees which have
been set one or two seasons will do
we'll TO bear in mind the importance of
stalking them SO that they will resist
the influence of the most frequently
prevailing or heaviest winds. Those
which have been set two years need it
as much as those which were put out
last spring, as they are likely to pre-
sent as much surface to the wind as
they have roots IN the earth. Pat
down stout stake a few feet from the
trunk, and then put on withe or n
strip of cloth, binding the tree to the
stake in the form of figure 8, SO that
the crossing of the band will prevent
any chatting of the tree-trunk against
the stake. In this way can be pre-
vented the spectacle SO often seen of
whole orchards leaning over, showing
definitely the direction of the prevail
ing winds. If you want to have your
orchard permanent keep your trees up
straight from the start. t.-Rural Life.

Chandelier Of Human Bones,

In the centre of the arched roof of
All Saints Church, Sedlitz, in Bo-
hemia, hangs chandelier constructed
entirely of human bones. The church
In which this remarkable object is sus-
pended is decorated from the floor to
the ceiling with the blanched bones of
human bodies. Garlands of bones
stretch across the walls and hang from
the ceiling. Pyramids, topped with
golden crowns, are artistically reared
from the ground with these whitened
remains of the dead. The affairs are
literally covered with skulls, among
which are hundreds of those which
had been pierced by bullets or crushed
by murderous blows from swords and
other weapons, denoting that these
grim relics of humanity have been
gathered from adjacent battlefields.
Tradition says that these piles of hui
man bones were gathered by blind
friar of the Cistercian Order, who
stored them in corner of the church.
AS they were fast changing INTO their
original elements, man named Rint
devoted himself to the task of cleaning
and arranging them in the church.
Prince Carl, of Schwarzenberg, took
"A strong personal interest in the res
toration and arrangement of the
church, and ordered all the repairs to
be done at his own expense. New
York Telegram.

Professor Guamuri, of The Unlver-
sity of Pisa, is of the same opinion rs
that published by him in 1892, viz,
that the process of postulation, both
of cowpoX and smallpox, is originated
by parasite which develops i'll tho
epithelial cells He has studied both
the morphology and biology of this
organism. 1t is capable of am@bic
movements, which can be seen on ex-
animation of lymph taken from the
initial vesicle at the temperature of
the human body. BY this process
Professor Guamuri has also verified
the multiplication of the parasite un-
der tine microscope, and the fact of
phagocytosis by polynucleated, leu-
cocytes With n stain of gentian and
methylene, the structure of this low
organism may be studied. 1t consists
of roundish body with clear out
line. Professor Gunmuri has sue
eeeded in reproducing the parasite in
the cornea of rabbits with incubation
of the Same lymph, andhe has verified
the fact that no other source of irrita-
tion is capable of producing anything
of the appearance of the same parasite
in the cornea. Professor Guamuri be-
lieves that it is n zooparasite belong
ing to the class of rhizopode, and that
it is the cause of both cowpoX and
smallpox.

CLUB ROOT OF CABBAGE.

The club root of cabbage and the
is well known and dreaded disease
among Eastern farmers and gardeners.
But, while more prevalent in the East
ern portion of the country, it is also
known in the West and South, causing
often heavy losses.
A bulletin issued from the New
Jersey Agricultural Experiment
Station gives in detail the results of
experiments and investigations made
ON the station grounds and elsewhere,
with view To assisting farmers Ia
lighting the club root. Many of the
facts contained in this bulletin are OF
general interest to the cultiyators oi
cabbage turnips, kale, etc.
Briefly stated, the malady is due 10
microscopic parasite which infests
the cells Of the roots, causing them t.
become swollen d distorted, The
spores OF the fungus, dpon the decay
of the part affected, become scat
tered through the soil and from
thence the enemy enters the host
plant. The club root infests several
plants of the cahhage tamlly, inelud-
iag turnip, kale, raalsh, stock aud
candYtutt. Two common weeds p
namely, afepherd's purse aud hedge

"DoUGLAs's MIXTURE. "

The solution known as Douglas
Mixture" and so much in favor among
English poultrymen as a tonic, j:
made by putting eight ounces of sui
phate of iron (also known as green
vitriol and copperas) into jug with
two gallons of water and adding one
ounce of sulphuric acid. This is to be
put into the drinking water of the
fowls in the proportion of teaspoon
full to each pint. This mixture should
be made and kept i'll stone jug oil
glass bottle, and never in a metal YES
sci. SO soon rs any disease breaks
out among poultry this should be
given to the healthy, to enable them
TO resist it, together with more nu'
tritious and easily digestible food

and that in feeding hogs the man who
feeds them will succeed with them.

and that in feeding hogs the man who
feeds them will succeed with them.
In spite of the general opinion to
the contrary, some maintain that the
hog has a preference for being clean,
and cite many instances of his keep
ing one side of his pen clean if at all
encouraged or started with it clean,
etc. Here is one mans idea in regard
to clean pen and pure food: Every
farmer with 100 acres ought to feed
from twenty to 100 hogs. The com
mon way of constructing the floors
of the pens is unsuitable. If they
slope backward from the trough they
will be kept wet. That means sickly
hogs that do not thrive well. 1 pre-
fer to make the floors slant toward the
trough. Twice the profit can be made
when the animals lie dry all the while,
and besides that their health is much
better. Then the feeding trough
should have it's holding capacity in
length and not in depth. 1t pays to
have them fed with good, clean feed,
which means the difference between
profit and loss. They will take the
waste from the table. 1t does not do,
as is usually the case, to have it put
into a tub or barrel which is never
cleaned That becomes poison. 1t
ferments and sours and makes bad
blood. With the SOW and young pigs
taking it, the consequence is they die
before ten days old, and even little
pigs have the right to be well born.
Hogs fed on clean food should gain at
least one pound for every four and
half pounds of grain used; man can
tell whether it is paying to keep them
or put his labor to other sources of
profit. If any man feeds his hogs too
long it costs more than he can make
out of them y Western Agriculturist.
