Ventilation 0yerdone.

Within the limits of my experience,
the warning to ventilate the COW stable
is about on apar with the great anxiety
OF some writers that dairymen should
not overfeed their cows. We might as
well warn men not to be too good, too
honest or too cleanly in their habits,
Tor fear they might become fanatics on
these subjects. To be sure. some COW
stables need ventilating, but should
the whole roof be taken off such stables
and the cows exposed to the starry
heavens, that would not remove the
filth from those stables. We are told
that numbers of airshifts two or three
feet in the clear should extend from the
tioor up over the cows backs and ont
at the roof, with other venti!ators
coming from outside at the floor and
opening over the cows backs for fresh
air.
This, presume, presupposes an air.
tight, hermetically sealed COW stable,
the approximation to which l have
never seen unless it was in q stone
basement under ground. where cows
should never be put. My notion is that
COWS should stand on a floor we'll
drained and dry, with Dlentv of oood
dry bedding, and the stable kept clean:
and there should be space enough
above the cows for ample breathing
room.
If l saw a man filling his stable with
yentilators would suspect be intended
leaving the droppings of the cows to
lie in the stable for week at time,
The hired man would certainly think
that way and act accordingly.-L. S.

OF the occupation of the inhabitants.
A visitor to this unfrequented region
describes the following rather startling
custom. He says; "Himia, which is a
little island directly opposite Rhodes,
Is worthy of notice on account of the
singular method by which the Greek
inhabitants of the island get their liv.
Ing On the bottom of the sea in this
locality the common sponge is found
In greater abundance than in any other
part of the Mediterranean.
THE natives make it trade to
gather these, and their income from
this source is far from contemptible:
their goods are always in demand
among the Turks, who use an incredi-
BILE number of sponges in the ablutons
prescribed by the Mohammedan ritual.
A giil in this island is not permitted
TO marry until she has brought up q
certain number of spoDges and given
proof her skill by taking them from a
certain depth But in certain of these
islands this custom is reversed. The
father of marriageable daughter be,
slows her on the best diver among her
suitors. He who can stay longest in
the water and bring up the biggest
cargo Of sponges marries tie maid. y

Keep More Bees.

Horticulturists, farmers and dairy.
men should all keep bees, for the sue.
cess OF one is dependent upon the
other. When the germ in the bloom
OF many varieties of fruit is ready to
receive the life giving powder, its own
balls of pollen are not ripe and it must
obtain it from some other bloom, or
the fruit will not set. Also some va
rleties of fruit can not be fertilized by
their own pollen. Nature has delegated
insects to bring this dust and and de
posit it upon the germ. Early in the
season, when fruit is in bloom, there
are but few insects abroad except
honey bees, and if they do not do this
work the fruit crop will be a failure.
AS an inducement or a bait for the
bees drop of sweet nectar Is secreted
in the bloom, and this is the bees
wages. The pollen also is her hire, for
this is what she makes her bread of. to
feed her brood. AS she fills her honey
sack with nectar and loads her baskets
with pollen, the fertilizing powder is
conveyed from bloom to bloom, thus
insuring q crop of fruit. The dairy.
men are dependent upon the bees for
the great families of clover which
could not exist without their agency.
Everyone who has home, whether
it is a village lot, or a few acres or a
large farm. should keep bees. Mr..
Muth, of Cincinnati, has kept them
with success upon the fiat roof of his
store in that city, and an apiary at one
time was success located upon the
roof a building near Broadway, Now
York City.-American Agriculturist.

Yesterday was Ohio Day at the Ten.
nessee Centennial Exposition, and the
old Buckeye State responded to the
invitation sent her, and rose to the oc b.
casion. She was represented by the
President of the United States, the
Secretary of War, the Governor of
Ohio, the Mayor of Cincinnati, the
Mayor of Cleveland, detachment of
the biggest and finest policemen in the
world, dozens of resplendent staff
colonels and thousands of her citizens
all willing and eager to aid Tennessee
in her big celebration, and to testify to
the esteem in which they hold our
sister commonwealth of the South.
Nor was Tennessee to be outdone in
courtesy. She received her visitors
with hospitality which has become
famous, and bestowed upon them every
honor. 1t was an occasion which will
bring Ohio and Tennessee nearer to.
gether than ever before in mutual re.
gard and in commercial intercourse.
\ Such occasions as yesterday
was and today will be, at Nashville,
have value in promoting fraternal
feeling between the various common.
wealths of the Union which it is i'm.
possible to over estimate. Ohio and
Cincinnati rejoice that they have had
this opportunity to demonstrate anew
their admiration for the South, and
every sentiment of good will uttered
by our representatives at Nashville

prompted by friendship as genuine
as IL Is indestructible. e.-Cincinnat

Two Wealthy Girls With No Taste

Two girls sat awhile ago in opposite
stage boxes at the theater to whose
united wealth the word inconceivable
would almost literally apply. Both
were family pretty. of the style that is
absolutely null without proper dressing.
One, the most decided type of blond,
wore pale blue. The result was simply
flat. The other girl is a brunette aud
was dressed in a brown silk (which is
the ugliest and most characteress
wear the mind of man can devise, ex-
cept in combination,) and had wisp
of illusion tied tightly around her
neck.-New York Letter.

A Chicago novelist who lives in n
South Side flat building has recently
been pressed very hard by his publish.
ers, who have been clamoring for the
concluding chapters of a story whose
publication has been advertised for
several months and is still matter of
the future.
A few days ago the author sent his
wife and children into the country for
a week or two in order to secure abso.
lutte quiet and chance to work undis-
turbed. The first night he was alone
he settled down to write with will.
Suddenly in the flat below began q
terrible racket. Men pounded, thumped
and ratified, and it was quite evident
that they were packing up their house

The novelist stood the din as long as he
coulc IN silence. At last, when for.
bearance ceased TO be virtue, he went
into the hallway and accosted man
who was carrying an armful of things

to do down there, anyhow"

laugh, unless you go back into your
room now and leave us alone"
The novelist retired into his fiat.
closed the door, and began to write. A
half hour later he was suddenly aroused
oy the loud changing of police patrol
wagons bell. A wagonload of blue
coats stopped in front of the building.
The flat below had been stripped clean
by burglars during the absence of the
family at the theater. Times
