Bothered his PROSPECTS.

Jack Negly was one of the mountain
GERS OF the Cumberland whom l had
known better, perhaps, than any Of
them, for Jack had borrowed a few
dollars from me to buy yoke of steers
with, and the number of times he came
to me to get the debt renewed brought
me into very close acquaintance with
him. He was farmer in a small WAY
and he was never known to be ont of
debt. He was a renter and at least
every other season he was occupvine
a dlnerent farm. By my advice he
had moved the year before into an en-
trely new field at least dozen miles
f1Cm his usual haunts, and | had not
seen him for several months. When I
did see him, at last, it was by acct
dent, as business called me into his
nelghborhood. AS l rode past his
place he hailed me from the cornfeld
and came out to the fence.

are of brown broadcloth. While she is
a happy, healthy creature, it is not
probable she would be a success as the
wife of poor man, or that she would

her that she would be an entirely diff

A QUEEN AT TEA.
Victoria often Drinks Sociable Cup
as the Guest of an American Lady.


One of Queen Victoria's favorites is
Madame Albani, and once year her
majesty honors the prima donna by
taking cup Of tea with her.
This is when the queen is at Bal
moral castle, usually during Septem-
Der or October, and Madame Albani is
at her country place, old Mar lodge, an
estate which she rents from the Duke
Of Fife, and which is in Mar forest,
near Balmoral castle
This tea drinking occasion is wholly
devoid of pomp and circumstance. The
queen drinks her beverage, which, by
the way, is English breakfast, quite
like an ordinary mortal, but quite I'M
like the ordinary English woman.
She does not take a second cup.
The honor of serving tea to her ma
jesty is one seldom accorded to other
subjects. For Albani, the queen has
always had a particular affection. and
she delights to honor her in various
ways.
Upon these occasions of the after
noon function the queen sends word
day or two previously of her intention
to visit her neighbor. She is accom-
panied by one of the princesses and a
lady or two in waiting, and she drives
the distance, of about ten miles, in an
open carriage.
After the brief ceremony of tea
drinking is over, the queen takes a
stroll through her hostess beautiful
garden. Although not particularly
fond of flowers, she appreciates Ma
dame Albani's fondness for them, and
frequently sends her superb bouquets
from Balmoral
The queens dress is usually very
simple-a black cashmere or soft silk
devoid OF ornament or trimming; it is
the toilet of respectable lady of the
middle class, and is even more bare
OF ornament than the plainest and
most simple people of that class would
average. Dress is matter in which,
even in her young days, the queen ap-
peared to be devoid of interest.
Albani has choice collection OF
photographs of Victoria, each adorned
with her autograph. She was also
the recipient of one of the jubilee med
ais, and was the only artist decorated
by the queen herself with the order.

lady with sour disposition, and |
was right. Her boomers have an I'M
certain look about them which shows
an absence Of faith in human nature.
They also show that she has an
abundance of energy and that it is
misapplied. That lady must have ex-
perlenced many sorrows, possibly the
loss OF all her relatives, for there is
not one affectionate wrinkle in those
boomers. They have an intellectual
look about them, however, and she is
well read. The fact that
she wears them evinces a determina-
ton On her part to keep abreast of
the times, but the way she wears them
shows that she is handicapped by ma
ture. Those boomers mean all right,
but the execution is all wrong"

Ladies who live at a distance from
cities, where ornamental paper-holders
cannot be ordered from the cunfection-
er at a moments notice, will find
many uses for these dainty little bas-
kets, which can easily be made at
home in colors to suit the table deco
rations. They would have a charming
effect on the candy table" at fairs,
and will doubtless be turned to ac-
count at Christmas to hold bon bons
The materials for six baskets are
one sheet of stiff fancy paper, four
pieces of narrow ribbon, one number
wider than baby" ribbon, and three
balls of tinsel braid, or six skeins Of
floss. Having selected the color for
the baskets, the paper, ribbon and flo
selle or tinsel should be carefully
chosen to harmonize. White or ivory
paper can always be used, if tint de-
sired is not to be obtained, and for
the ribbon maize, straw, pale blue, ap-
PIE green, or even bright poppy color
are selected.
The foundation is cut of paper. For
the bottom use an oval two inches
wide and two and a quarter inches
long, to which is joined a half-circle

The bottom does not need gluing,
but is kept in place as follows: Mark

NEW USE FOR SPRAYING
An Onondaga Farmer Makes an In

The Syracuse Post prints the follow

farmer of Cicero, Onondaga county
VINO saved his twenty-acre VINEYARD
OF N1agaras from being killed by frost
by timely application of cold water
before daylight.
1t was the night of the hardest
freeze a while ago. The mercury was
trotting along down in the tube at 10
O'Clock p. m. A hard frost was GER
talnly coming. 1--WE will spray that
tWenty-acre lot of Niagara grapes be-
fore daylight tomorrow morning" re-
marked Mr.. Loomis to his hired men.
Isn't that little early to get a
hired man out?" queried one of the
gentlemen addressed.
AS a general rule it would be- re-
marked Mr.. L., "but tomorrow morn
ing about O'Clock will be Just the
right time"
And what are you going to spray
with, Paris green or Bordeaux mix
ture," asked the hired man.
Neither one" replied Mr.. L. eve
will use plain cold water. Hitch up
one team to draw water, hitch the
other team to the lumber wagon. but
put in the power spray pump and at
tach two lines of hose, and before sun
rise you must have the foliage
drenChed with water. Leave a couple
of rows without spraying, so that we
can see if it makes any difference"
At o'clock the next morning the
grape foliage was frozen stiff over the
entire twenty acres. And at that hour
good team of horses, at rapid walk,
was pulling the wagon that contained
the pump between the rows of grapes.
One man worked the pump. TIC the
pump was attached two lines of hose,
each line worked by man. Two rows
of vines were sprayed at the same
time. Everything went off like clock
work. The barrel was kept replen-
ished, broad sheets of water were
poured over the foliage, hustle was
kept up, and when the sun rose the
entire field had been drenched save
the two test rows Two hours later
the leaves On the test rows wilted and
turned black. The frost had killed
them. The leaves on the remaining
twenty acres were as fresh and vigor-
Gus as ever. And even the hired man
who had kicked so vigorously said
they hadn't got up a minute too early
How much did you save by spray
ing your grapes with water?" asked a
Post reporter to Mr.. Loomis.
WELL" said Mr.. Loomis, in his
well-known deliberate way, 81 guess
that little early mornings work saved
me about $1,000"
