Revenge Is Sweet.

1t takes a bright woman to rebuke
another womans rudeness, n general
statement well borne out by story
from the Atlanta Constitution.
A lady entered u railway train and
took u seat in front of Il newly mar-
ried couple. She was hardly seated be.
fore they began making remarks about
her.
Her last years bonnet and cloak were
fully criticised, with more or less gig.
Cling on the brides part, and there is
no telling what might have come mex,
If the lady had not put sudden stop
to the conversation by bit of strategy.
She turned her head, noticed that the
bride was considerably older than the
groom, and in the smoothest tones said:
madam, will you please have your
son close the window behind youY'
The "son" closed his mouth, and the
bride no longer giggled.

Private Roof Gardens,

Plans have been drawn for two new
houses that are to be built uptown on
the west side Of New York for private
residences, and each of them Is to have
a roof garden. This would indicate
that their owners intend to spend part
Of the summer months in New York.
II know of no better place in New
York for private roof garden" said
the architect Of one Of these houses,
than the high ground on the west side
of town. The house that am going
to build will be four stories high, and
as there are no high apartment build.
ings near by the roof garden on the
top will be private in every sense of the
word. 1t Is the owners purpose to
have 1t so arranged that he may have
his breakfast or his dinner served there
in warm weather. Under these circum.
stances he may forget that he is in the
city. From his roof he can look over
Riverside Park and across the river
to the Jersey shore. This Is the coolest
part Of the town in the summer, you
know, and l expect to see many of the
new residences up there equipped with
roof gardens"

TALKS ABOUT PLANTS.

The time to prepare wild garden
in shady nook of the yard is in the
fall. Wild flowers carefully trans
planted now will start in the spring,
and the collection can be added to
from year to year.
One of the peculiarities of the floral
world IS the evening primrose, which
opens about 6 o'clock, p. m., with an
explosion, not very loud nor formida-
BILE, but still quite perceptible to any
one who is watching the bud. 1t re-
mains open all night.
Objectionable trees are killed in the
best way by stripping the bark from
them for u few feet from the ground
just when the foliage is fully expanded
in the spring. Leave the tree stand,
as it will then continue to draw on
the storehouse of the roots for sup
plies, without adding anything to it.
When fall comes the roots are ex-
hausted, and if the tree be cut down
then no sprouts are likely to succeed
it.
Wild hollies please so much by their
bright berries in winter that many are
tempted to plant them on this account.
But it must not be forgotten that these
shrubs are not all berry bearing.
Some have male flowers only, and
these have no berries. The only safe
plan is to see berries on bush before
planting it. Hollies need close prun-
ing to make them live when trans
planted.
nj. Zacharewiez, professor of agri-
culture at Vaucluse, has found by ex-
pertinent with different colored glasses
that fruit is the finest and earliest
when grown under clear glass. Orange
glass produces an increase of vegeta-
ton, but ut the cost of the amount of
fruit, of the size and of its forward
ness. Violet glass causes the number
OF fruit to increase, at the expense of
the quality. Red, blue and green are
hurtful to all kinds of vegetation.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

A COW can never he spoiled by too
much petting.
Have you provided a range of clover
or rye for your hogs this winter ?
They need it.
Why buy pig in n poke, or COW,
without knowing of the value of her
milk? Test it carefully before buy
ing.
Next to cleanliness, which is mex
to godllness, nothing equals light and
sunshine in the way of sanitation in o
stable.
A clean canvas cover over the cream
vat is sufficient. Great care should
be taken to purify the canvas fire.
quently.
When putting away tools for tho
winter see that care is taken that they
do not rust. Care is cheaper than
new tools.
If u cows nose is hot and dry, or if
she closes her cud, it indicates sick
animal. The appetite is gone and u
tonic is needed
Feed the calves from pals kept
scrupulously clean by scalding. The
milk should be fed at temperature of
ninety eight degrees.
Every farm should have its hog lot,
well stocked with good animals. Good
big dollars are thrown away every
month on the farm where there are no
hogs.
There is every indication that hogs
will command higher price in Octo-
Der than they will get month or two
late. Get your hogs in the best pos
sible shape as soon as you can.

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT BULBS,

Always procure bulbs as soon as
possible in the fall, advises Eben Il.
Rexford. This because it is important
that they should be planted so early
that complete root growth may be
made before the coming of the winter.
The success of next spring depends
largely on the thoroughness with
which the work is done. Good roots
mean fine flowers.
Have your beds ready for tho bulbs,
so that you can plant them Immediate
ly after receiving them. A bulb dries
out rapidly when exposed to the air,
and it is important that it should go
into the ground fresh and plump.
Have the bulb bed we'll drained. If
it is not naturally SO, provide artificial
drainage.
Have the soil very fine and mellcw w.
You cannot work it over too much. If
rather heavy with clay, add sand or
loan to tighten it.
Make it rich with old decomposed
manure from the COW yard. Nothing
else in the shape of fertilizer suits a
bulb so WELL
On no account use fresh manure.
In buying bulbs always get the best.
The best is the cheapest in the end.
Do not confine your purchase to
pring-fowering sorts. Be sure to
plant some summer and fall blooming
lilies.
BE sure to plant some bulbs, if you
have none ut present. If those who
have never grown bulbs could fully
understand the amount of pleasure to
be derived from them am quite sure
ten would be planted where one is
planted now. BY making judicious
selection 1t is an easy matter to have
flowers from the melting of spring
snow through April and May to the
coming of the early summer flowers. -

Texas Educating The Neproes.

In Texas there are some eight acade.
mics and colleges for the higher educa.
ton of Afro-Amerlcans. Nearly all of
these schools are presided over and
taught by young Afro Americans. The
exceptions are the Tillotson school at
Austin, one of the many supported by
the American Missionary Association,
which is manned entirely by whites,
and Bishop College at Marshall, which
has white president and mixed teach.
ers. These schools are scattered all
over the State, and 1t is not easy to esti.
mate the tremendous work they ere
doing for the future of the race and of
the State. Indeed, they are revolu-
tionizing the character of the people in
Texas. 1t is a remarkable fact that in
this respect, as in most Of the States Of
the South, there are more of the schools
for the higher education of colored peo-
pie in Texas than there are for the
whites

to the Indian.
1t Is not often that d good word Is

among those who know him best, Bish-
op Whipple, of Montana, has spent
many Of the best years of his life with
the red men, and has studied their lives
and habits. The following will there
fore be read with interest, coming as it
does from one who knows whereof he
speaks.
The Indian is the noblest type of the
wild man in the world" says Bishop
Whipple. "He recognizes the Great
Spirit, believes in future life, has
passionate love for his children, and
Will lay down his life for his tribe.
He Is courteous and hospitable. If his
bitterest enemy came to his wigwam
he would be treated as an honored
guest. The Indian Is proyerbially hon
est, unless he Is demoralized by drink.

Indians l never knew one to tell me

one. / asked an Indian once If it was
