There are few ways to utilize table

relegation of bits of them to the house

in mind that old linen is worth its

THE FASHIONABLE WINE GLASS

Some years ago the editor ofthe Advocate,
while passing through one OF tho worst dls-
tricts OF New York, saw n woman emerge
from q dark, narrow alley. II was carly in
the morning. she looked haggard, pale and
filthy; was bare-headed and almost bare
footed. She was a pitlable object. The
night she had spent on the hard stones. She
passed him and entered low grog-shop.
Placing some pennies on the counter, she
took In her trembling hand the glass and
drank. and then passed out, and with uneven
steps went down the street. policeman on
being spoken to said she was common
drunknrd, that like ms not would be In the
station house ere night, and that night she
slept there.
And who was this degraded creature2 How
came she 80 low2 Hal she always been a
child ofpoverty2 Oh, no, II was drink that
did It. Once that poor outcast was
beautiful, accomplished young ladyi once at
the head of q fashionable young lady's
school: once teacher Of youth with few
superiors, whose society was courted and
her friendship valued. But fashionable
wine drinking proved her ruin. She slipped,
she drank, yet all went we'll, till one day she
crossed the line OF propriety-she entered
her school-room under the influence OF wine.
Then tho friends that had taught her to drink
lifted up their false hands In holy terror,
ashamed. dlsgraced. She left the place,
came to New York, where, giving way to the
appetite, her degradation was soon COM
plete, and to-day she sleeps In pauper's
grave.
Would to God that she had been the last
victim, but she was not. To-day the cup
still flashes Its light in beauty's face, to-day
it yet touches female lips, 1t still drags its
victims down to the ave.-Temperanee

SAVING THE PEAR TREE.

During the past five years the pear
psylla has inflicted such severe loss
upon pear growers in various parts Of
the country that it threatens serious
ly to interfere with the successful cul-
t1vation of this fruit. The old shoots
would put forth but little growth, the
new shoots would droop and wither in
May, the leaves would turn yellow,
the fruit would show hardly any
growth, and in midsummer the leaves
and half formed fruit would fall from
the trees. The presence of the insect
would also be indicated by the secre.
tion Of large quantity Of sweet, sticky
huid, which covered all ports of the
tree, and throughout this "honey
dew" would be seen a black fungus,
which gave the tree the appearance of
having been treated with thin coat
of black paint or SCOT. 1t is of no use
to fight this pest in the egg stage, but
1t must be checked early in the season,
as most of the damage is done in the
Eastern States before June 10. Kero.

WHAT CURED HIM.

'I have tried many methods of livelihood
in my time" observed gentleman TO o
writer In Cassells Journal the other day,
"but strange as It may seem to some people
the one / most abhorred was that OF being
wine-taster to an Eastcheap wine merchant:
was with him for about two years, and
often would taste as many as forty samples
in one dav. OF course, did not swallow
the wine But even then, and with the I'D
ditional precaution of removing the taste by
the use Of water afterwards, my tasting work
soon began to tell upon me. The effects, In
deed, after about fifteen months, becume
very marked, and very similar to the results
of alcoholism. My nerves got bad, then my
chest troubled me-seeming as though an
oppressive weight were on 1t. Then when
retired TO bed at night strange buzzing
and confusion In my head would Danish
sleep from me. Later my appetite failedi
and. as / wns unable to take sufficient tood,
nv nerves got worse. One very remarkable
symptom of my nervousness was the ire
duency with which shed tears. The slight
est excitement and the "water works would
be turned on"--as Sam Weller would saw:
Although 1 had very lucrative berth had
TO Give il up; and now, when remember my
state of heath at the time, i feel that l
would not become q winchester again Tor

touch alcohol in any form. Those two years

ga company has undertaken 70 do
forty-eight miles of tunneling under
Pixies Peak and the territory near by.
It will begin at Sunderland Creek,
near Colorado City, and run in a
southwesterly direction to a creek
some distance beyond Independence
and Victor. II ia to bo built for q
double track of railway and have the
regulation dimensions Of railway tun-
nels fourteen feet wide and eighteen
high. A branch line will leave the
main tunnel at n point under Inde-
pendence and run to Cripple Greek,
placing that mining centre within fix-
teen miles of Colorado city. The dis.
tance botwoon tho two is by rail ut
present fifty-four miles.
1.-THE two mouths Of the main tunnel
are to have the samo altitude, 6S00
feet, and the grade of the tunnel will
DO one foot to tho 100, enough TO drain
it we'll. This will give tho divide an
altitude of about 7400 feet. Tho sum-
NIT of Pixies Peak is Il, 900 feet above
tho sea level and Cripple Greek nearly
10000. The plan includes also laterals,
or cross tunnels at several different
points. One is TO be at OF under
Crystal Park and another under Cam
eron's Cove. Tho longest one will cut
tho main line not far from Bald Noun
tain, and run under that peak in one
direction and under the summit Of
Pixies Peak in the other. This cross
tunnel will be over fifteen miles long.
Then another tunnel is to connect this
cross arm with the main line, joining
the latter near the south and the
branch on the west side of Pixies Peak.
It will run under the mining camp of
Gillett and not far from Grassy.
"The amount needed for the tunnel
work is $40, 900, 900. A contract now
in escrow in Colorado City requires
that the work shall be commenced
within ninety days. Tho intention is
to have forty eight miles tunneled and
the main line in operation before

/ saw the street sweepers parade. Il was
q wonderfully creditable display, and was
attracted by the faces Of tho men. In the ag-
gregate they represented high type OF hui
manity. Men who will faithfully perform
humble but most useful and beneficial labor
TO earn an honest living are to be honored.
Carlyle would have honored them. John
Ruskin (wlsest and most eloquent OF teach

their labor himself, in cleansing the filthy

this town had turned out to show our citi-
zens "their strength" 1t was q procession
Of open carriages, and the occupants lolled
back In indolent ease, proud of their good
clothes, their white linen, their silk hats and
diamonds The type OF countenance there
represented was repulsive, coarse, cunning
aud sensual, the faces OF men who would
descend to the depths OF mental and moral
degradation to make money easily and rap
idly. But this procession was incomplete

riages and silk hats and diamonds, where
were they? II they had only fallen into line

ARRANGING A wIup GARDEN,

Phoebe W. Humphreys, writing in
the Home Queen, says, why not try
some entirely new plan in preparing
Tor this summers floral displayP Even
the city flower grower, with de.
cidedly discoursging outlook in the
cramped quarters of the small shady
back yard, may with the spring time
enthusiasm and ingenuity sd natural
to the true flower-lover) discover
wondrous possibilities in the realm of
summer window-gardening-the ar
rangement of boxes or balcony effects
on the outside of the back and side
windows, as we'll as the street display,
Then roof-gardening schemes, and even
"hat-gardening," will suggest many
novel arrangements to the Aoricnl-
turist who is determined to succeed.
In the country and on suburban
lawns the possibilities for novel flower
arrangements seem unlimited. The
wild-hower garden Is perhaps the
most interesting of recent floral fash
ions. 1t may seem absurd to speak of
fashion in this connection, but it is
nevertheless true that since wealthy
owners OF large grounds have turned
their attention to the transformation
of lowlands and swampy places into
bowers of beauty by transplanting
native wild-dowers and vines, it has
become quite the "fad" for all flower
growers, who are in possession of a
nook or coroner where wild flowers
may be made to thrive, to arrange
what thew term their "wild garden, "
In planning a wild flower nook of
this sort, recently, the writer was
greatly helped by the description OF
an extensive wild garden by we'll.
known florist who had experimental
extensively in transplanting to the
home grounds many of our native wild
beauties; and n description of this
garden may help Others in the selec-
tion and arrangement of desirable
varieties. Where shady trees and low,
wet grounds afford advantages fol
swamp and wood flowers it is an easy
matter to cultivate wild flower garden
suce essfully; and even in the average
garden, where no such advantages are
found, many wayside bloomers and
field and meadow flowers may bloom il
their sheltered corners, and live and
thrive from year to year without care
or special cultivation. Now is the time
to watch for the wild favorities as they
begin to push up from the sod, and tc
transplant them before their blooming
period.

Bow TO PREPARE WOOL FOR MARKET.
The great bulk of wool of all grades
is sold in the dirt; that means just as
it is found on the sheep at shearing
time. All Merino wool is very greasy
and dirty. Some people prefer to
wash their sheep. To do this q run
ming stream is necessary, near which
two pens are built. The flock is put
is pen No. l, and the sheep taken one
at time and immersed in the stream
once and turned into pen No. 2, where
they are allowed to remain about an
hour, until the steam begins 60 rise
from their backs, when they are again
taken, one at time, and plunged sew
eral times in the stream-say about
half o dozen times-when they will be
clean and white. The soapy matter
that is in the wool unites with the
grease and dirt, and ali go out to-
gether. Then the sheep are turned
on clean pasture for about ten days,
when they are sheared. This is mer-
chantable washed wool, and sells for
about one-third more than wool in
the dirt.
Then there is tub. washed wool and
pulled wool. This is usually done
when the sheep is killed or dies, and
lime or ashes are put on the heshy
side of the skin, which causes the
wool to slip in few days, and the
wool is tub-wsshed. This is not so
desirable as the other, as it is best for
both buyer and seller that the native
oil that is washed out gets back into
the wool without the dirt, which it
will do in the interval between wash
ing and shoaring. This, l believe,
covers the preparation of wool for
market. - Charleston News and
Courier.

ground is broken or uneven, such
places as are neglected, and which are
on eyesore to the lover of trim gardens
only. Such place can be made de.
lightful resort, and when made will
require but little care thereafter. The
wild garden can also be made very at
tractive on perfectly level ground,
where the grounds are at all extensive,
or in a sheltered nook on any large
lawn.
Only o few of the most durable,
vigorous plants and vines for the wild
garden will be mentioned, for suita-
bic plants are almost innumerable. In
rather open places we can plant Digi-
tails, Funkias, Heracleum, Helianthus,
