MAKING CARRIAGES HEAD.

If the seed you sowed was good.
and the soil rich, there should be no
difficulty about making cnbbuges head.
Much OF the cabbage seed sold Mt
country stores has been chenply
grown from the stumps of cabbagcs
poorly wintered The best seed
growers do not cut off the heat to
plant for seed, but plant the root
with its head attached 1t will not
bring so much seed as will the stump
alone, but the seed will produce
stronger plants and those that will be
sure to head if the soil is reasonably
fertile. The cabbage plant requires
rich soil and with considerable pro.
portion of mineral plant food. Water
the plants that are behind in their
growth with water in which compost
ed manure has been soaked, and with
an addition of potash and phosphate.
This should be given with plenty of
wafer Many fcrtilize with manure
water alone. This will answer if the
soil Is naturally rich i'll mineral plant
food. If it Is not the excess of nitro
gen will mako great growth OF
leaves, but the cabbages Will not head
well. 1t is probably lack of mineral
piNnt food that ails your cabbages. -

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
THE KITCHEN SINK.

BE careful that no cabbage water is
poured down the kitchen sink, as the
odor of it, a singularly unpleasant
one, Is so strong that it will pervade
the whole house and produce the sus-
picion OF n bad drain. The water in
which any vegetable has been boiled
should he thrown out of doors in some
remote corner OF the garden. When
vegetables which give out odors are
being cooked half teacupful of
vinegar placed in vessel on the back
OF the stove will prevent the fumes
from spreading over the house. A
box of I've should he kept at hand and
1t is wise every day 10 make n solution
OF this with hot water and pour it
down the waste pipe and into the sink.

OF 100000 bicycles were made and sold

Rare and Costly Fox Skins. From the Lewiston Journal. l

Most of you have read quotations of silver-fox skins and black-fox skins, but did you ever see one? The chances are that if you are not in the fur busi- ness you never did. Only one hundred and thirty-ninie were taken in the whole world last season, and evt-.T year all of these go to Russia, where they are the fur of the royalty and the nobility The other day, trudging up the Journal stairs, came Hunnewell, the South Dan- vile fur king. He is real Yankee at a trade, hustling buyer who has agents ] in the Nova Scotias and in Cape Breton and all along the rich fur-bearing coun- tries, and his transactions amount to | fifty thousand dollars year and up- ward Under his arm Hunnewell bore ] a. package, which he tossed lightly to the floor of the reporters room and dis turbed the quiet of the seEaral desks"
 at work There" said he, lis some thing you never saw before-eight sill ver-fox skins in one bunch." There they were -four of them beauties, four of them ordinary. The four first named
 were beautiful skins, pure deep black
 along the bases of the necks, silver tipped along the backs, while the tails
 were just shimmered with the silver white The fur was soft and fine, beau tiful to the touch. That skin," said Mr. Hunnewell, tossing out one, lis worth one hundred and thirty-five dol lars. This one is worth one hundred
 and fifty dollars. If that one was as Iblack as this and was as heavy and soft
 as it is now, it would be worth three
 hundred dollars easily. Considering that only one hundred and thirty-nine
 were taken last year, and that I got
 twenty-four of them, I think got my
 share. These came from Cape Breton land never had so many in one bunch

For a cue he had a yard measure, whence the term Bill-yard, or Bills yard, cor rupted into billiards. This etymology will hardly satisfy MT. Skeat, but it is at least curious as showing to what length the speculative etymologists are apt to go. The most astonishing thing about it, however, is the fact that it is the work of Frenchman, who might have seen at glance that billiards is merely a corruption of his own word billiard" from "bille,' a ball, the ter imitation lard" being perfectly regular and natural in the composition of a word intended to designate the table upon which the balls are used.
