The Vanilla Rean.

No doubt almost every child has
heard more or less about the vanilla
bean, and the general idea prevails
that it is bean, as the name is ordi-
narily understood. So firmly fixed is
this notion in the mind that when, not
long since. gentleman asked dealer
what some long, dark-colored objects
were, he left the store in disgust upon
being informed that they were vanilla
beans. This plant, instead of being in
any way related to the bean family, is
an orchid, and has an exceedingly beau
tiful blossom. II is a climber, and
throws out from each joint of the
stem little, clawlike rootlets, something
like the Virginia creeper, by means of
which 1t clings to the woody bark of
the trees over which IL delights to
Chamber. 1t was formerly supposed
that the vanilla was an air plant, but
this is not the case. 1t sends it's roots
down to the soil frequently through
the bark Of the tree upon which ii
lives, and in order to insure vigorous
growth must be kept in connection
with the soil. 1t climbs to the height
of fifteen or twenty feet in its wild
state, but on vanilla plantations it is
kept down where its products may be
handled easily, as the unripe pods can
only be touched with the utmost eau
ton.
A traveller gives some very interest
ing facts about the gathering of the
vanilla pods. They are collected when
they have become slightly yellow at
one end and as soon as they assume a
certain brittleness, to be detected only
by practice. 1t takes three months
properly to cure the vanilla pods and
bring out the flavor, which is said not
to exist in them in a natural state. The
pods are put into a cage and dipped
for an instant into hot water, then
drained and exposed to the sun during
the daytime. At night they are closely
packed in a warm place. After a time
they become brown and soft, and are
then dried in the shade. care being
taken that they do not get musty. They
are treated with oil and turned until
they become of a rich chocolate color
and are entirely free from moisture.
This Is the best process.
There are other. cheaper ways of
making them, but the flavor Is thought
not to be so fine. The extract is made
by saturating the pods with alcohol;
the proportion is about half a pound OF
pods to gallon of alcohol. The pods
are Clipped up, and stand in the spirit
for month. They are shaken fire.

steaming grain from toe to chin, drew
the edges of the blanket together and
sewcd it about the patient. He was
envcloped in hot oats. Then they
gave Molier an extra dose OF No &. and
awaited the result.

lie was delighted. His patient bad a
good pulse at the wrist, and the
carotids were now throbbing violently.
His cry for water had ceased. His
skin was slightly moist and warm.
The glare had gone from his eyes, his
voice had resumed its volume; he was
out of danger.
Gold is death-heat is life" said the
doctor. Thank you, young gentle
men. Calomel is done for"
Then congratulating his patient and
leaving directions, he retired to fight
cholera and calomel elsewhere.
Molier was soon up, and his nurses
went to the Nurse committees head
quarters for further orders. The great
agony was still abroad in the city.
What of Adolf and Vivette?
They reached the Gray Sulphur hotel
on the second day, and found it full.
Frightened people from many points
had sought the hotel as place of
refuge, and every room was occupied.
But an hour after their arrival there
wasa commotion. what is it?" in
quired Adolf. "Cholera!" said half a
dozen in reply. Within twenty minutes
there were many vacant rooms: the oc-
cupants had fed. A lady who APP

most the only person to be seen who
was not panic-stricken. She came to

Adolf was lodged in an adjoining room
There had been but one case of cholera
in the hotel so far, and hope revived
among the inmates.

Watering Vegetables.

It may be necessary to water the
vegetable plants before the end OF the
season. but avoid il as long as possible.
One watering makes a second one
necessary, and ii must be continued
until the necessity ceases. II the
plants are well advanced or full grown
a generous supply of water twice a
week is better than a sprinkling every
day. Do not use cold water on the
plants. Fill a barrel full of water and
let it stand in the sun day or two, and
IL will then be about the right tempera-
ture. Apply the water to the roots and
not on the leaves.
A good plan is to follow the water
ing pot with the hoe, throwing a little
dry soil around the plants. This will
prevent the surface from crusting over
and the soil will keep moist much
longer
Young vegetable plants should be
watered every evening, If the weather
is dry. until the roots get strong hold
of the soil. The watering should be
carefully done. Aim to keep a moist
condition of the soil but avoid satura-
ton while the roots are tender. After
the plants have good start the water
ing may be less frequent and a greater
supply given at a time.
If your young plants are not doing
we'll revive them and hasten growth
by using liquid manure prepared as
follows fill tub or barrel half full of
raw stable manure and fill the recep-
tacle full of water. The manure will
absorb the water and more must he
added when necessary. Let stand in
the sun twenty-four hours, then dip off
the liquid and apply to the plants.
This is an excellent preparation for
flowers, roses, etc. Quickness of growth
is essential TO the quality and tender
ness of any vegetable.--Dola Fay, in
Farm. Stock and Home.

French Farms.

A writer in the Contemporary Re-
view. in speaking Of the past of French
farming, says:
"Then IL was not rare to see in one
parish four or five farmers possessing
from $4,000 to f12 900; but now, owing
to tho agricultural depression, most OF
them have undergone heavy losses; yet
there is the curious fact that the rent
has been but slightly diminished.
Twenty years ago the farmers were the
kings of the parish; a certain prestige
still attaches to their title; they were
called Maitre by everybody; one speaks
of Maitre so-and-so. Many find 1t hard
to lose this prestige, and so remain in
their farms, paying too much rent and
losing money rather than give them UP.
The rent of the small farms has less
ened to a great extent. A farm rented
ten years ago at f140 is now rented at
ESQ. On an average the rent has de-
creased about one-third. Nobody cares
to buy land because it yields only
very small interest, though many who
have run into debt owing to the de-
prcssion offer to sell at low prices, very
often ut so per cent less, and / have
known land sell at even one-third and
one-fourth of the original market value.
Small estates bought thirty years ago
for f2 1000 will not fetch more thar
FL 900 now, principally when the land
is not useful to turn into meadows for
grazing, arabic land being much less
profitable"
New Plants on Broken Ground
Botanists soon learn that towns, GEM
eteries, and especially railways, afford
excellent fields for the study and col
lection OF plants. The broken ground
there, the seeds scattered by human
beings or five stock as they ride along,
and the usually fenced condition of
railways, allow plants to remain there
in security, while they are destroyed
in the pastures. There also introduced
plants find Judgment and protection
