Don't get the notion that hard
work kills. 1t doesn't; it can't.
Work may tire, but that is all.
Then you must rest. What good,
hard work does is to make solid
men. The healthiest men in the
world are the men who work hard

their meals and brings refreshing
sleep. Work all you like and can,
only don't worry and don't keep
late hours. 1t is in the latter two
points that danger lies; not in work.

Pigmy Coconnuts From China.

"What in the world do you call these
things?" asked customer of South
Water street commission man yester-
day, as he carefully examined four or
five small, slightly oval shaped objects.
'Guess," said the commission man.
"Can't-give up"
"Those are Chinese cocoanuts."
"Why, they aren't much larger than
marbles"
They are very scarce in this coun-
try. L happened to get hold of these
through friend of mine. He spent
the winter down in Florida, and one
day he was walking along the beach
and discovered these floating in the
water. They don't grow anywhere
around here, and the natural conclu-
sion reached as to how they got to the
Florida coast was that they drifted all
the way from China of their own &C.

The Propagation of Shrubs and Plants.

The Propagation of Shrubs and Plants.
Herbaceous plants are propagated
by division of the roots. Cut down
through clump with sharp spade,
and you get mass of roots, thickly set
with growing points. This mass can
generally be broken apart in such man.
ner as to form many small plants, each
one having root enough to nourish it.
In this way it is easy to increase ones
stock of this class of bowers. The old
plants are benefited by such division.
Shrubs, as general thing, throw up
shoots or suckers about the main stem.
Some of these are so closely connected
with the main stem that it is not pos
sible to remove them and have any root
attached, while others are not attached
to the old stem, but are sent up di-
rectly from the roots. The lilac is an
illustration of the latter class, which is
easily propagated by cutting the shoots
or sprouts away from the old plants,
generally with strong roots attached
Shrubs that do not sucker or sprout
freely, can be propagated by layering
This process consists in bending down
branch, preferably one that starts
from the old plant near the ground,
and inserting a portion of it in the
earth without removing it from the
parent plant. Atthatp part of the branch
where the bend is to be which is to go
underground, half break it, or cut it
about halfway through. This not only
makes it easier to insert the branch
properly in the soil, but it assists it in
the formation of roots. Where the cut
or break is, the flow of sap will be ar
rested, aud a cailus will form from
which, later on, roots will be sent out.
Meanwhile the sap from the parent
plant circulates through that portion
of the branch not cut or broken, thus
affording nourishment while roots are
being formed. In this way one can
propagate plants whose cuttings sell
dom root when completely separated
from the old stock.
If 1t is desired to increase the stock
of peonies, dig dig down at the side of
the old plant until some of the tubers
are laid bare. These can be cut away
carefully without interfering in the
least with the old plant. The peony
resents any serious disturbance of its
roots.
Lilies, and other bulbous plants, are
propagated by removal of the little off
sets or bulbs that form about the old
ones-The Housewife.

In his sermon on last Sunday, n
prominent New York clergyman said:
1.-The organic church here has lost its
hold on the public mind. Women are
the only ones who hold to church
organizations of to-day. There are
but $4,000 men in the City of New
York to-day who so into Protestant
churches. This is true also of Roman
Catholics. According to the latest
estimates, it is figured that 3S5, 900
persons attend the Roman Catholic
churches, but of that number there
are great many who go to church
once or twice year, and some who
never go unless they think they are
about to die"

Japs Want Power.

Tt has been written that no man by
giving thought unto himself can add
one cubit to his stature, but the enter
prising Jap does not despair, and an
ordinance has gone forth exhortine
the people to eat more freely of meat,
with view to increasing the average
height of the race. Whatever results
may follow the method proposed, they
are certain to be long time coming,
but it is only another instance of the
determination on the part of the
Japanese not to let the slightest
chance slip for attaining all the ad-
vantages which they see, or think
they see. in Western civilization.

GOOD ROADS NOTES.

This is a great country but some
parts of it are too soft.
Material for making road isn't
lacking half as often as is the disposi-
tion to get at it.
The man who appreciates the differ
ence between good and bad roads may
be said to have ''horse sense"
The cyclists in the vicinity of Potts
town, Penn, have been instrumental
in securing 600 tons of cracked stone
placed on the roads in the vicinity of
their town.
A writer in the Des Moines (Iowa)
Farmers Tribune urges the superiority
of gravel roads for that State. His
reason is principally the trifing cost
OF the gravel as compared with tho
cost of stone necessary for u macadam
road.
The Worcester (Mass.) Road I'M
provement Association has novel
plan for awakening the public to the
need of better streets in that city.
They have offered prizes for collections
of photographs of bad streets taken
during the spring and summer, which
will be put on slides by the association
and exhibited in public next fall.
Mississippi now has a road law
which, if properly carried into effect,
and if kept in effect for a material
length of time, will, in the opinion of
the Mobile (Ala.) Register, probably
give the State system of public roads
superior to any that it has ever had,
and perhaps superior to that of a
majority of the Southern States.'

1t is not generally known that the
President and Vice President of the
United States never travel by rail to-
gether. 1t is one of the precautionary
measures that hedge about the lives of
the two foremost men in the National
Government, the idea being that if an
accident upon the rail should cause
the death of one of the illustrious men
the other would still be spared to the
country. 1t was for this reason that
ex-President Cleveland invariably rode
upon the Pennsylvania Railroad when
he iourneyed from the Capital to Phila-
delphia or New York, and Vice-Presi-
dent Stevenson travelled on the Balti-
more and Ohio. President Mckinley
and President Hobart, when they
attended the recent Grant celebration
in New York, followed the same plan.

The Round Cotton Bale.

At first transportation companies
and manufacturers were doubtful OF
the advisability of introducing the new
cotton presses which turn out cylin.
drical bales. They believed they could
not be packed readily, and that it would
be difficult to remove samples. The
latter objection was soon shown to be
groundless, and it was demonstrated
that the new presses packed the cotton
SO compactly that itrequires less space
than by the old system of square bales.
This same compactness was proved, by
actual experiment, to be great pro-
lection in case of fire. Inky water
water was also thrown over it and
would not penetrate. There is a grow
ing belief in the South that the round
bale is coming into general use.-At-

There would be less poor butter or
the market if more attention were
given to the care Of the dairy utensils,
says w. j. Fraser in an agricultural
paper. They should be washed as
soon as possible after being used, as
the longer the milk remains in them
the harder they are to clean. First,
rinse in cool water to remove the milk
never use hot, as this cooks the milk
and causes it to adhere to the vessels.
After rinsing, wash thoroughly in hot
water, or what is still better, with
steam, if it is available. This scalding
is very essential, and should be thor
oughly done. After scalding, turn up
side down in clean, exposed place,
where they will get the full benefit OF
the sun, as this helps greatly to keep
them sweet.
Strainers should be given a good
deal of attention, as they come in con-
tact with all the milk. If cloth
strainers are used, they are difficult to
keep clean. A cheap grade of cotton
flannel, used nap side up, makes a
good strainer, and if only small piece
is used, it is best to throw it away af-
ter each straining.
All tin utensils should be as free
from seams as possible, hence, of
course, dressed tin is best. If there
are seams or corners they should be
filed with solder as to leave no lodg-
ing places for dirt. A few minutes
work with the soldering iron will saws
much time in washing. Wooden pale
should never be used for milk, as it is
practically impossible to keep them
clean.
Where milk is taken to a factory
the cans should be washed before they
| are returned. 1t is bad practice to
take back skim milk, which is usually
sour, in the cans used for whole milk,
but this is often done and can hardly
be obviated where the milk is hired
hauled. OF course, the skim milk
| should be returned, but it is much
better to have barrel for the pur-
pose. If the cans are used for skim
milk they should be emptied on reach
ing the farm and thoroughly cleansed.
All wooden utensils, such as churn,
butter worker, etc., should be washed
and scalded after being used, and if
| placed in the sun, care must be taken
that they do not become so dry as to
crack. From one churning to another
the churn should not be kept tightly
closed, as it will soon become tainted.
In preparing wooden utensils for use
they should be scalded and then cooled
| with cold water. Ii treated in this
way the butter will not stick.

Curse cards are novelty which
have lately been introduced into Prus-
sia, Saxony and Alsace, though they
originated in Calvin's land. The man
ner i'll which the propagandist en-
ploys the curse card is said to be as
follows: He or she starts in the early
morning by filling his or her pockets
with the form in blank. When in ON
nibus, tram or train bad language is
heard, then the user of the profane
words is invited to fill in the blank
forms, and he binds himself for a GER
tain time to abstain from the "swear
words" or to do penance in pfennings
for indulgence in the same. In Switz-
erland 800 of these cards have been
distributed, and, as the prospectus
gravely remarks: "In a country where
three great European languages are
spoken the system will have invaluable
results in enabling the religious sta
tistician to estimate the prevalence of
violent language among the nations of
Western Europe" The benefits of the
curse card have yet to be proved

One of Mexico's most curious plants
is called the thread and d-needle tree,
and it bears close resemblance to an
overgrown asparagus. Along the edges
of the leaves, which are thick and
heshly and full of tiny fibres of great
strength, very sharp needles" grow.
If pushed back into the leaf, and cut
loose from its tough setting the thorn
may be easily pulled out, lot of the
tough little tibres attached to the root
of thorn coming out with it. When
these fibres are twisted together with
wax strong, smooth thread is the re-
suit.
