A Christening Incident.

Sometimes in English country parishes,
where the clergyman has been accus-
toned to have his own way, he protests
rather vigorously if the name proposed
for child about to be christened does
not suit him. Occasionally, however, hc
does so upon false premises.
The late Dean Burgon, when Il curate
in Berkshire, was requested by a; vii
lage couple to christen their boy
Venus" or, as they called it, "Vanus.' -
Are you aware he said, that yo,,
are asking something ridiculous as well
IS exceedingly wicked? Do you suppose
am going to give Christian child, u
boy. the name of woman in heather
mythology? How did such monstrous
notion get into your heads?'
Please, sir" said the father, 'wc
want him called after his grandfather -
And do you mean to say his grand,
father was named Venus?"
yes, sir; there he is, SIR
n poor old man. looking very unlike
Venus, hobbled out of the crowd.
DO you dare to say you We're chris
tened Venus?' asked the indignant
clergyman.
We'll, no. SIR" was the respect

vanus, but they always called me

Reform in Dress.

1t is under dispute in our contempt
raries whether the bicycle is the life of
dress reform or whether it is due to the
exertions of dress reformers in time past
that the bicycle is available as a vehicle
for women. One enthusiastic reformer
proclaims that if the dress reformers had
not, year in and year out, in the face of
ccnsure and ridicule, insisted upon wom-
ans right to the untrammeled use of her
legs bicycling for women would not
have been thought of, or if it had, a
machine would have been devised with
side saddle as being the only one that
it was proper for women to ride. There
is u fair field for difference of opinion
in this discussion. Life inclines to the
opinion that women prefer their conven-
tional dress, unless for some special
reason they find it inconvenient. When
bicycles became the fashion, and long
skirts were found to be hindrance to
that sport, skirts were shortened or dis
appeared altogether according to the BIZ
cylist's taste. The dress reformers never
made any great progress because wom-
ell do not like reformed clothes, and
could find no good reason for assuming
them In so far as the bicycle has af-
fOrded a reason, and no farther, women q
dress has been ''refOrmed'' 4es.vs:

A GOIden-rod Luncheon.

To secure novelty in the line of ell
tertamment is every womanS aim. and
now that the dainty golden-rod Is making
bright the fields it is but natural that the
artisticaly inclined should arrange Il
golden-rod luncheon, which serves the
double purpose of being unique and de-
lightfully entertaining as well.
Rat hcr select in character, only twenty
five being invited, the tables were set in
the billiard room, each one covered with
deep yellow cheese cloth and crossed by
a wide scarf of white linen embroidered
with the flower which gave the idea
for the entertainment. The embroidery
of these scarfs had taken some time. but
each worker owned the article she had
piled the needle upon. consequently it was
not such a waste of time after ALL
The chairs were tied with punches of
golden-rod and held in place by yellow
satin ribbon. The center of each table
had as an ornament great Open-work
basket filled. with golden-rod Yellow
candles in candlesticks covered with birch
bark had yellow paper shades and the
and ferns. fresh with the dew or the
woods upon them.
To obtain an elaborate menu woul]
have been out of the question, consequent
ly ingenuity in place of caterer was made
to do active service. As result there
was for the first course clam broth with
the yolk of egg, giving it the requisite
yellow tinge. Then eggs bechamel. fol-
lowed by spring chicken, squash and sweet
potatoes; crab salad dressed with yellow
carrots. macaroni with cheese, yellow
tomatoes with mayonaise. and finally
frozen custard, sponge cake. cafe an
lait, and yellow chartreuse The ladies
were requested to wear yellow gowns.

A Woman Beater Arrested.

Piliwale, native girl, had her
brother, Jas. K. Kipahe, arrested
for assault and battery yesterday.
Joseph, it seems, got in a temper
and severely thrashed his sisters
child. This was more than the
mother could bear. She told her
brother that he had no right to
whip the child. This language did
not suit the now thoroughly an
gered brother, who suddenly
desisted from his occupation of
whipping the child to that of at
tacking his sister. He is now
thinking over the matter in a
prison cell, and will have a chance
to speak in the Police court this
morning.

Stacking CornstaIks.

Cornstalks are always difficult to
keep in good condition from the fact
that, however dry they may seem in
fall. the thick stems are full Of juice,
which, when confined, set the whole to
fermenting. We have overcome this diff
ficulty by liberal use of dry wheat straw
among the stalks in the stack or NOW,
and after the stalks were all drawn
covering them with straw to absorb the
moisture. When straw is thus mixed
with cornstalks, it is moistened by the
sap which the stalks exude and is much
more readily eaten by cattle than is dry
straw from the stack. 1t is important to
let the stalks dry in the field as long as
good weather holds. The hay caps used
in keeping cocks of hay from being wet
serve quite as good purpose if tied
over the stacks Of cornstalks after the
corn has been husked. The heavy dews
which fall on clear nights are more in
furious in proportion to their moisture
than are rains. American Cultivator.

for many years been most popular at the
east, where the seasons are short and
the droughts not unusually severe Com
mon millet is usually preferred in the
west and north, as it stands drought
well and requires only short season.
German millet is still popular over a
wide area, but is best appreciated and
most exclusively grown at the south.
The amount of seed to the acre should
range with the variety, condition and
character Of the soil, climate and the
purpose for which the millets is own. In
seeding for hay, If too little is used the
fodder will be coarse and unpalatable.
If too much seed is used, the crop will
be small and fail to mature. A moist,
fertile soil will bear heavier seeding
than poor, dry one. II seed instead of
fodder is wanted, less seed should be
sown. For that purpose, especially where
the soil is poor or weedy, better results
are obtained by sowing the crop in drills
and cultivating it. The amount recon-
mended to be sown per acre of Hungari-
an and common millet varies from one
peck to one bushel, and both these limits
are sometimes exceeded. Three pecks
per acre was the standard adopted the
past season in seeding for hay at the
Michigan station, but as the season was
very dry the amount proved too large.
To meet the need Of pasture during
July and August, when the ordinary
pastures fail from drought, millet is
sometimes sown. 1t answers fairly we'll
for the purpose, though if pastured very
closely it lasts but short time, as it
does not form turf. The best variety
for this purpose is probably Hungarian,
although common millet appears to- an
swer nearly as we'll
From bulletin by A. A. Crozier Of
the Michigan station on millet it seems
that common millet was the first millet
to have been generally grown in the
United States, and it is now more wide-
ly cultivated than any other variety and
is less variable in its character.
Hungarian millet first came into gen.
eral notice in Iowa under the name
Hungarian grass. In the new prairie soil
Of the west this grass found congenial
home and was often the first crop sown
upon breaking the sod. Hungarian grass
has been frequently advertised as va
riety particularly adapted to Withstand
drought, but in tests made at the Mich
igan station, as compared with the Or
dinary American millets, the Hunga-
rian was the first to show the effects Of
the drought. According to the authority

thing that is against this method Of self
spacing of the frames is, one must be
careful in taking out one of the inner
