or importance.

In Virginia there lives wealthy
family which owes its prosperity to
the generosity of George Washington.
When the present head of the family
was little boy, his father was in
serious money difficulties and owed q
large amount of money to the Wash
ington estate. The agent Of the estate
pressed him closely for the money, and
the result would have been financial
ruin for the father of our Virginia boy
if an appeal had not been made to the
Washington family. General Wash
ington was always very generous to
those who owed him.; said they, 'and
we shall continue the same policy. The
General would have given every one
sufficient time in which to pay. And
it was his express command that his
estate should be settled up with
generosity toward all. - And SO Wash
ington, though dead, leftgenerous COM
mands behind him; and the l'ttle
Virginia boy, now very old man, was
enabled to get good education and
TO lay the foundation for one of the
3argest fortunes ever accumulated Ill
the South. His great-grandchildren,
now growing up, tell with much pride
this story of General Washington's
geperosity.-New York, ledger.

Don't Laugh at Blunders.

Instead Of laughing at the mistakes
or blunders of others, We should do all
in our power to conceal any amuse.
meDt We may feel, for to the one max
ing the error it IS deeply " embarrassing
to find that those who witnessed 1t are
making merry at his expense, says the
Jenness Miller Monthly. Good man
ners and a good heart go hand in
hand; tact, after all, IS but show OF
kindly feeling, and under all circunl'
stances We should remember that We
are not infallible and quite as likely tt
make mistakes as those whom We are
pleased to ridicule.
Cannot every person, do matter how
worldly-wise they may be at the pres
ent time, remember when they have
made some faux pas which even tc
think of now causes them to break uIt
in cold perspiratlon? II may have
been an error in table etiquette CT II
the pronunciation of 2 word, 1t does
not matter how trivial the mistake, YET
after all the years since it occurred the
smile which went around the circle
stings even in memory.
No one is perfect, not even those
who set themselves up as oracies in al!
matters pertaining to social life and iii
exactions. The day will come wher
flaws will be discovered even in the
leader, and then those who have been
laughed at will have chance to
laugh, if that will be any satisfaction.
After all the gracious manner an0
the kindly spirit count for more thar
form and empty show. Of course, the
amenities of life must not be regarded
as serious as lack OF consideration.
Good form means essentially the be-
hav;or OF gentleman or lady, and the
highest type Of is found i'll the kindly
heart that seeks not to wound, the gra
cious, considerate manner, and
courtesy to old and young, rich ano
poor, regardless of their social statU
or importance.

"sRob' catch the strayer." In an IN
slant "Rob" pinned the sheep, holding
him, strong and wild as he was, as
though he were in wise; and then, by
another word, "Gled" was told to bring
the others in through the gate now
opened for them. Although "Gled

Married by InstalnentS.

There is an odd story told by Nor
folk (England) vicar OF one OF his
sarishioners who was married by in
Stalments. He had gone to church
with his bride, and had expressed his
readiness to forsake al others and
keep only to her as long as they both
should live.
When it came to the young woman's
turn, however, she was not so minded.
No persuasion could make her agree
to her share Of the bargain. Plead
ing and storming were alike in vain.
and at last the intended couple left
the church no more TO each other
than when they entered it. The
village people stared to find that the
would-be bridegroom was an even
more ardent lover after this incident
than before it.
He laid steady siege to the heart Of
the tickle fair one, and at last induced
her to go to church with him again.
His scheme was to get her there and
leave her in the lurch, as she had left
him. Unluckily for its success, he
had taken a loose-tongued comrade
into his confidence.
The vicar had got wind Of it and
was prepared. To the horror Of the
conspirator, he proposed to take up
the marriage service where it was
left off on the former occasion, and
getting a ready assent from the young
woman to fulfill the cOndiditions she
had previously declined, went on
without hindrance to the end, and
bound the disgusted bridegroom
tightly to the expected object of his re-
venge.
This was great sport to the vicar
but no laughing matter to the poor
| wretch who found the Joke turned Sc
completely against himself. The
vicar never moved muscle, although
inwardly he must have been explod-
tug. His levity leaned to virtues
side. Was it not inficting proper
punishment on the mind who would
have made fool of his parson and a
mockery Of the marriage service to
pay an old score? Was ne not guard
Ing the sanctity Of the marriage cere-
mony from vulgar ribaldry? Prob
ably; but, at the same time, he was
| furnishing the young woman much
more etTcctually than il he had let
the rascal tilt her.

FARM FRUIT.
Why Farmers Should Plant Fruit
Also the Kinds and the show.

E. H. Burson, Clinton, N Y, writes
Orange Judd Farmer: 1t does not
take many crops of plums at So
bushel, peaches at 81 per basket, or
grapes at SO cents per 6-pound basket
to pay for farm. l do not give these
figures to encourage one to jump right
into fruit-growing, but by all means
some should be planted at once.
On farm of rs to 100 acres, who has
not at least to acres for something
besides wheat and apples. From 200 to
500 plum trees set IA to Is feet apart
each way; 100 to 200 grape vines set in
rows u feet apart and to II feet in
the row according to Variety; ygx
or two of peaches planted II to 16 feet
apart will in nine cases out of ten pay
treble what the choicest land does, if
planted to grain. do not favor plant
ing a row here and there across the
good size lots Except as a windbreal1)
but rather in blocks. The farmer who
says, 'I have no time to attend to
fruit!' has time to plant 20 acres of
wheat, 20 of barley and harvest an
average of Is bushels of grain. At the
average prices secured by fruit-grow-
ers a farmer could economically keep
one hand to look to the fruit
The fruits above mentioned can be
tended with much less care than small
fruits, though both are desirable An
occasional blowing and cultivating to
keep weeds down and to work in ashes
and barnyard refuse will be beneficial.
Thus with an annual training of the
vines, and now and then cutting out a
dead or blighted limb from the tree is
about all that is necessary after plant
ing. Nature is kind, but still may pass
your block by for one or two years;
but an average crop one year will gen
orally make up for the failures.

CURRANT CULTURE.

The demand for currants is increasing
more rapidly than the supply. Cur
rants ever have been and always will
be a favorite with the housewife 1t is
not only one of the most beautiful
fruits which could be grown as an or
nament in the garden, whether useful
in the kitchen or not, but at the same
time one of the most healthful and
desirable of all garden fruits. There
IS no fruit which is more attractive and
easily grown than the currant. 1t will
succeed comparatively with neglect,
but responds generously to high Gull
ture, giving double the size of fruit
under good treatment The currant
worm is destroyed very easily with
slight application of powdered helIe-
bore when the leaves are damp with
dew. The trouble with most planters
is, that they plant the bushes too close
together. We would prefer rows six
feet apart, and the bushes at least
three feet apart, if grown in rows. If
in blocks, at least four feet apart each
way. Planted thus, and the ground
made rich, the profit in currants is
large. Growers should always see that
the bushes are pruned annually; to
secure a good crop of first quality fruit
Surplus weak branches should be cut
away entirely, and the new growth
shorter. This will allow a free circula-
ton of air, and the currant worm will
be seen as soon as it commences it's
ravages, whereas, were the bushes
thick, they might pursue their depre-
dations until most of the foliage would
be consumed before noticed.-Green's
Fruit Instructor.

ARE SMALL FRUITS PRoFIrABLE.

G. j. Carpenter of Fairbury, an
sweredthis question in the affirmative.
Strawberries are most profitable with
him. He showed how this fruit paid
him at the rate of $500 per acre, the
plants used being Crescent and James
Wick, two to one. Raspberries come
next in order after Strawberries. By
planting such varieties as Tyler, Hop
kins and Ohio, cutting back heavily
and giving good cultivation, at least
1000 quarts per acre can be obtained
which sell for Is cents per quart The
cost Of cultivating will not exceed $50
per acre, and the picking and market
ing $50 more; 1000 is only an average
crop, and this would give profit of
5000 per acre. What is said of raspber-
ries will apply to blackberries, provided
you plant Snyder and take care of
them.-In cherries the early Richmond
has been planted more than all others
and has always paid the planter a
handsome profit. If you want a cherry
Kentish type of cherries, plant the
Oestheim. This is a new variety, but
1t has come to- stay. the tree is hardy
and an early bearer.-Of gooseberries,
the Downing bears enormous crops
nearly every year, and the fruit, owing
to its large size, sells well in the mar
ket. Currants have not paid as well
as other fruits, but if planted in a
moist, shady locality, such varieties as
Red Dutch, Victoria and Long Bunch

PORK OR pEnR1Es-wHrcH,

Says a writer in Longman's Magazine:
The food which is most enjoyed is the
food we call bread and fruit. In my
long medical career, extending over forty
years, / have rarely known an instance
in which child has not preferred fruit
to animal food. I have been many times
called upon to treat children for stomach
disorders, induced by pressing upon them
animal to the exclusion of fruit diet,
and have seen the best results occur
from the practice of reverting to the use
of fruit in the dietary. l say It without
the least prejudice, as lesson learned
from simple experience, that the most
natural diet for the young, after the
natural milk diet is fruit and whole meal
bread, with milk and water for drink.
The desire for this same mode of sus-
tenance is often continued into after
years, as If the resort to flesh were
forced and artificial feeding which re-
quired long and persistent habit to es-
tablish as a permanency. as part of the
system of every day life. How strongly
this preference taste for fruit over ami
NAL food prevails, is shown by the simple
fact of the retention of those foods In
the mouth. Fruit is retained to be tasted
and, reIished. Animal food to use COM
mon phrase, is '.bolted." There is a
natural desire to retain the delicious
fruit for full masticlation; there is no
such desire, except in the trained gour-
mand, for the retention Of animal SUBJ

crop which can be used. for it stands
on the ground longer than wheat and
pumps out the moisture at a time. when
it cannot be spared; and in all 5owed
crops there is no conservation of mois-
ture by cultivation. 1t should also be
said that trees in wheat, oats or barley

other injuries, are not so soon de-

With tender trees, like the peach, and
particularly on moist lands, cultivation
should generally stop q month before

low the wood to mature. A good crop
for such cases is early potatoes. Corn
