Men and Their Hats,

Hats, according to an English writer,
on matters sartorial, are the most
characteristic part of the male cos
tune. The SLOUGH or brigand hat gives
great distinction to spiritual and ex-
pressive face, like Tennyson's, for ex-
ample, but at private theatricals, es-
pecially with a feather in it, 1t is ca
pable of transforming a feeble face
into that of downright idiots. Men
in cooked hats look wonderfully alike
They confer no individuality. A gen.
eral, except for his plumes, cannot be
distinguished from military medico.
The top hat is in one respect worthy
of the estimation in which it is held.
Why should we be compelled to go to
church in it is inexplicable, but it al
ways had a religious association. When
Rogers, who was not beautiful, ex-
pressed wish to be painted in "a de-
votional attitude" Sydney Smith sug-
gested it should be with his face in
his hat, in which so many church
goers seem to find spiritual calm. But
there is no doubt that the top hat has
a power which is the attribute of no
other headgear. 1t may not be able to
confer distinction even at its glossiest,
but when 1t is in state of decadence
it sinks its wearer in disrespectability
fathoms deep. We may talk of the
aristocracy of birth, or natures true
nobility, but let the representative of
either wear a bad hat, and to the eye
of the observer he becomes black
guard at once.

Raising Geese For Market.

Goose-raising is another growing in
dustry in this country, thought not SO
extensive as duck-breeding. The con-
ditions required are wholly different.
I he goose, being larger animal, needs
more room than a duck, and 1t must
have water and free range On the
other hand, the care and attention
necessary for raising geese are very
small compared with the returns, and
the cost of food Is not nearly so great
as for other birds reared for the mar
ket. A goose at full liberty will gather
most of the provender in the shape of
grasses, insects and other vegetable
and animal material to be found in the
fields and brooks.
Geese are long-lived fowls. Indi-
viduals have been known to reach forty
years, while birds fifteen and twenty
years old are not uncommon. They
retain their laying powers through
life. The ganders. however, are apt to
become quarrelsome as age advances.
The feathers of the geese are an i'm
portant source of revenue and find a
ready sale. A goose will average
about one pound Of feathers per an
uum.-Detroit Free Press.

THE EuMELAN GRAPE.

Almost everybody at times becomes
tired of the very musky grapes which
are the principal varieties offered on
the market. The old-fashioned Clinton
grape, which was the product by culti-
walton of the wild frost grape, is en-
tirely free from this objection. But
the Clinton did not ripen until late,
and was commonly allowed to hang
until frost had blackened the grape
leaves. To those who have grown and
liked the Clinton grape, the Eumelan
can be safely commended. 1t has a
clear, sweet juice, is black in color,
and ripens as early as the Delaware.
1t has blue bloom, in this resembling
the frost grapes, from which 1T was
originated. The only reason why 1t Is
not much more widely known is that
1t is difficult to propagate. The wood
is very hard and will not root except in
lighthouses where bottom heat can be
applied. But we have frequently lay
cred this variety to secure specimens
to give to friends. Most of the nur-
series now send grape vines so cheap
ly that it is not worth while to layer
bearing vines, as it undoubtedly does
injure the vine and delay ripening OF
the fruit to grow layers from it.-Bos-
ton Cultivator.

The Bishops TactfuI Lesson.

This story is told of an Eastern
woman" who used to be notorious
among her friends for the long time 1t
took her to dress. AS the newspaper
puts it: There was no case on record
of guest who had been greeted under
her roof with any degree of prompti-
tude" Now she has reformed, and
this is how the reform came about:
One evening, at private entertain
ment of some kind, she encountered a
certain bishop, an old friend of the
family.
"Ah, my dear Mrs. Smith," re-
marked the ecclesiastic, "how are
you? l passed your house yesterday
and thought of dropping in to see
you"
"And you didn't do it? That was
very unkind of you"
well, no. You see, I said to myself,
Il have just one hour to call upon Mrs.
Smith. She will take fifty-seven min
utes to dress. That will leave just
three for our talk. 1t is hardly worth
while. st. Louis Globe.

PEAR BLIGHT.

The following on treatment for pear
blight is incorporated in the report OF
the New Jersey State Horticultural So
ciety: First, aim to put the tree in a
condition to render 1t the least liable
to attack. This means to so manure
and cultivate that the tree will not
grow rapidly. Thus, the more a tree
is fed the worse it will fare when at
tackled by the blight. Trees that are
highly fortified with heterogeneous ma
nures are especially liable to blight.
In short, overstimulation with manures
is to be avoided. Good tlilage in the
same way, while it makes tree bear,
also tends to increase the susceptibility
to blight Anything that retards the
growth is beneficial so far as the dis
ease is concerned. The orchardist must
stimulate by manures and cultivate
sufficiently to give a good crop and
shun that which will do more. Soil
and situation will determine largely
whether sod or cultivated may be best
to resist the blight.
The second method is the extermina-
ton of the blight germs, which seems
to be the only direct remedy. This is
done by. cutting out and burning all
blighted portions of the trees. Every
tree of the pome family, including the
apple, pear, ounce, crab, mountain
ash, service berry and hawthorn
should be treated in the same manner
Particular attention should be paid to
the active blight of late autumn, cut
ting it out and burning the branches
before spring arrives. 1t is important
to cut out the blight whenever seen
but all should be removed before the
next growing season begins.
To put the treatment in small com.
pass, all blight should be removed as
soon as seen while the trees are grow.
ing. A thorough inspection needs tc
be made in the late fall for any
branches showing blight After these
are cut out a sharp outlook should be
kept for the disease in the orchard
the next spring. In connection with
pruning and burning the trees should
not be stimulated beyond what Is re-
quired for fair growth of wood ant
the production of a profitable crop.

GROWING BEET SEED.

Beet seed is so easily grown that 1t
Is always very cheap. Yet we believe
in farmers growing their own beet
seed, provided they will grow the best.
1t is not the beet that produces the
most seed that is best for planting.
If beets, or any other roots for that
matter, are planted so early in spring
that they grow tough and stringy
roots, such roots will produce a great
amount of seed, but it will produce
If sown at any time plants that are like
its parent. 1t is thus that roots de-
generate into something like their
original wild condition. A moderate
sized root grown quickly after mid
summer, and in very rich ground, will
be tender and good until late in the
spring. Such a root will not produce
as much seed as a tough, stringy one,
but it's seed will bring much more sat
isfactory crops.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Wear an ill-fitting collar, and then
imagine how the horse likes to wear
one.
Cabbage may remain out without
danger of injury from frost after beets,
carrots and turnips should be stored
for the winter.
If you want horse radish to use be-
fore the frost is out of the ground in
the spring, dig it and pack away n
sand or soil where it will not freeze.
If you have bean poles standing in
the ground pull them up and store
somewhere under shelter. If they are
worth using they are worth caring for.
1t is said that the hydrangea, when
grown out of doors permanently, has a
decided tendency to give blue flowers
instead of the pinkish-purple-white
usually found on it.
An Eastern gardener pulls up the
poles that have any beans on them
when frost comes, and puts them away,
vines and all, where frost cannot get
them, and in this way is able to keep
the beans fresh for some time.
Roots will keep nice and crisp till
late in the spring IL pitted. Those in
tended for use by the family through
the winter may be put in barrels or
boxes. Pack them as closely as pos
sible and fill all the spaces with fine
sand or earth.
A new gladiolus, recently exhibited
by j. l.. Childs, is Canary Bird, and is
reported to be the best yellow sort yet
obtained. 1t is very slightly tinged
with red deep down in the throat,
where it is hardly recognizable. The
flowers are of excellent size, also.
Even the wild flowers are subject to
curious variations brought about by
naturalization. A plant of Lobelia car
dinalis--a plant famous for it's intense
red--was recently found at Wynne-
wood, Pa, which had pale pink bloom
Pure white flower spikes have some
times been found.
No two fiocks can be fed alike, and
no two feeders can feed alike. Be-
cause our way of feeding gives us sue
cess, 1t is no guarantee that 1t will give
our neighbor success. Every little de-
tail counts for much. After all, it is
not so much the food as it is the whole
method of handling.
The ornamental varieties of aspara-
gus need an abundance Of nutriment
while making their growth After such
period, which may be two months OF
more, the plants should be repotted In
very rich soil; then, as they are grow
ing, supply well with water and once
or twice a week give liquid manure.
London purple is sat down upon by
Professor Stedman as follows: %
would not advise any one to use Lon
don purple, for the reason that 1t IL
the refuse of different dye stuffs, ant
its character varies. II you use 1t this
year and are successful, and try II
again next year, you might ruin your
trees, because you might get it of diff
| ferent strength"

History of Ivory.

The earliest recorded history-we
might say prehistoric, the hieroglyph-
ical-that has come down to us has
been in carvings on ivory and bone.
Long before metallurgy was known
among the prehistoric races, carvings
on reindeer horn and mammoth tusk
evidence the antiquity of the art. Frag-
ments of horn and ivory, engraved
with excellent pictures of animals.
have been found in caves and beds Of
rivers and lakes. There are speci-
mems in the British Museum, also in
the Louvre, of the Egyptian skill in
ivory carving, attributed to the age
of Moses. In the latter collection are
chairs or seats of the sixteenth CEN
fury B. G. inlaid with ivory, and other
pieces of the eleventh century B. g.
We have already referred to the Nine
veh worries. Carving of the precious
substance" was extensively carried ON
at Constantinople during the middle
ages. Combs, caskets, horns, boxes,
ETC., of carved ivory and bone, often
set in precious stones, of the old Ro-
man and Anglo-Saxon periods, are fire.
quently found in tombs. Crucifixes AMI
images of the Virgin and saints made
in that age are often graceful arl
beautiful. The Chinese and Japanese
are rival artists now in their peculiar
minutiae and detail.-Appleton's Popu-
lar Science Monthly.
