Monte Carlo is the place to get cs-
sence of orris, and the only place.
When a woman is caught in that
wicked little principality, and feels
called to explain, she can always say
that she came for supply of orris-vio-
let, and be believed. The price, like
everything else, is as high as the Alps.
A four-ounce bottle sells ut seventy five
francs, but one drop on the lace collar
cite or revers will make the whole
dress smell like violet. The violet
of Grasse, which belongs to Nice, is en-
quisite, and preferred to Monte Carlo
by the people who detest the very men,
ton of the gamblers paradise. 1t has
such an affinity for silk that if the dry
stopper is wiped with rufiie the scent
will cling to it like roses in Moore's
vase. But the violets of violets is the
Ajcardi found in San Reno, which is
mentioned in the guide books, and has
actually added to the fame of the place.
The scent, a triple extract. is sold ex-
clusively in a little shop below the
N.
about six ounces. This violet shop is
violet-scented and bottle-walled, and
buyers come from all the courts and
gay cities of Europe. No lover of vio-
let scent will ever know the true scent
of violets until she goes to San Reno
with twelve francs TO spare. To use
one drop of it is to feel a fine contempt
for all other perfumes

improve some of the opportunities
open In this branch of industry, but
fortunately have not entered into it,
because this state offers no legal pro-
lection to anything except hogs, dogs
and cattle. These three animals stand
pre-eminent.
All the legal protection offered to a
sheep id this state is is to eutrun a dog,
OF put fof the woods and climb d tree
that dog can not ascend. And the
same legal protection is offered TO the
enterprising farmer. If he has field

too, to escape the hogs and cattle, or
become victim to their greed. The
poor class are permitted by law. to
turn their hogs and cattle into the
roads and there Is no redress for the
crops they destroy. This class can sit
in their doors and laugh to see their
stock eating up and destroying what
the Industrious farmers are trying to
raise. For all the wrongs the law off
fers only the following remedy: To
effecttally prevent this, the enterpris-
ing farmer is compelled to live in a
''hog pen,'' that is to say, to keep a
fence five feet high and pig tight, en-
tirely around his property, and as it is
not probable that fence pig tight,

of farmers have fallen victims

out drove of hogs and cattle to eat
up the labor of others, and thus in-
stead of becoming more just and civil
lied, they are becoming less cultured
and refined, and more devoted to tear
ing down and destroying the property
of others, than to the building up of
beautiful and inviting homes for them
selves.
This law drives out the very class

north the home of genius, of beauty

JOHNSON GRASS.

Method for killing 1t Out Pursued on the
Texas College Farm.
On the College farm tract of about
ten acres was sown to johnson grass
seven or eight years ago for the pur-
pose OF obtaining permanent mead
ow, and, Notwithstanding manure was
applied, it did not make a good yield.
The soil is light, sandy loan, vary
ing in depth from five to ten inches,
with stiff impervious clay sub-soil,
into which the roots do not penetrate,
which accounts for the poor growth.
AS usual the grass did not fail to scat
ter its seeds over the entire farm, soon
becoming a serious nuisance. 1t was
decided to get rid of the grass
if possible by close cultivation. This
meadow was broken broadcast in the
early fall with a turning pillow and
Immediately narrowed thoroughly with
a springtoothed harrow: was at this
time dry and warm. Nothing more was
done until about the LIST of February,
when it was again broken broadcast
with turning pillow and narrowed with
springtoothed harrow. thoroughly pull
verizing the soil so as to admit of easy
surface cultivation with sweep. 1t was
prepared for late planting of cotton;
about the LIST of May by working
broadcast and bedding with solid
sweep once to the row, at which time
the soil was in excellent filth. Cotton
was planted Immediately: came up in a
few days and grew off nicely. 1t was
given frequent shallow cultivation
with buzzard wing sweeps, the cultiva-
ton was continued until about 18th of
August.
The following fall when picking the
cotton, only few sprigs of the grass
could be found, and these for the most
part, appeared on the SANDY mounds"
where the clay sub-soil does not come
near the surface. The following spring
this land was put to corn, but was not
so carefully cultivated; it was followed
by cotton this year. closely cultivated
with sweep. This spring only few
lunches of johnson grass can be seen.

TEACHING A SPARROW TO FLY.

How Baby Bird That Got Out OF Its
Nest Was Coaxed Into Getting Back
Again.
In the worst of a rain the other day
a servant brought into brown-stone
house up town little baby sparrow
that was found, wet and draggled, cold.
helpless and hungry. The bird was
wrapped in warm flannel, and kept in
basket, but it few out so often and
flew so vigorously that it's captors de-
termined to set it free after two days
had passed. During an interval of sun
shine it was released at an open win
dow. 1t ut once flew across the street,
pressed its beak against window over
there, fiuttered against the smooth
glass for q while, and then dropped
down upon the brown-stone stoop. At
that instant its mother joined it. She
fiuttered all around it, leaped over it
backward and forward, stroked and
plucked it with her beak, and chat
tered to it volubly and necessarily.
Presently she flew away and alighted
on tree top AS the baby bird did not
follow her, she few back to it and
talked to it still more excitedly.
Again she flew to the tree, where she
had her nest, and this time the little
bird tried to follow her. But it flew
the wrong way. 1t could not manage
itself. 1t could not direct its own
movements. 1t flew straight up and
fell back on the baluster of the stoop
next door. Back came the mother and
renewed her chatter. and, presently,
she few off, but only to the middle of
the quiet street. This time the baby
did better. 1t flew up, wavered in the
air, and came down close beside its
mother. She caressed it with her beak,
and again urged it to follow her. She
rose to the nest in the tree, and her
baby succeeded in reaching the branch
near the nest. With few hops, he
reached the nest, and the mother bird
brought him food from the street.-N.
