AN IDEAL WIFE.

~ HARLES DICKENS thus de-
scribed an ideal wife: ''She IL a
~ true and noble wife for whose
ambition husbands love and her chill
dren's alteration are sufficient, who APP
plies her military instincts to the disci-
pine Of her household, and whose leg
islative instincts exercise themselves in
making the laws for her nurse, whose
intellect has field enough for her in
communion with her husband, and
whose heart asks for no other hOnOrs
than his love and admiration-a woman
who does not think 1t weakness to at
tend to her toilet and who does not dis
dain to be beautiful, who believes in
tte virtue Of glossy hair and well-fit-
ting gowns, and who eschews rents anu
raveled edges, slipshOd shoes and auda-
cious make-ups--a woman who speaks
low and does not speak much; who Is
patient and gentle, and intellectual and
Industrious: who loves more than she
reasons, and yet does not love blindly
who never scolds and never argues, but
adjusts with smile-such woman Is
the wife we have all dreamed Of once
In our lives, and is the mother we will
worship in the backward distance OF
the past"

Corn ON Out.itle Rows.

In cutting corn we always used to
notice that the outside rows where the
horse turned In cultivation had general
ly larger and better filed ears than did
the corn farther In the field. This in
dicates that corn IL usually planted too
closely and does not get sunlight
enough. The outside row IL not gener-
ally richer than the soil farther In the
field. and certainly the trumpling Of the
ground by the horses feet IL NO ad-
vantage to the crop.

Burning Weeds.

1t Is far better to rot the weeds by
burying them under the soil while green
than to rely on burning them after they
have ripened their seeds. 1t Is COM
monty supposed that when a weed Is
burned, It's seed also perlshes. Only II
piled on brush, which will make Goals
Of fire at the bottom Of the heap, Is
this the case. The weed seed drops as
the pod which encloses 1t shrivels with
heat. and as carbonic acid gas settles
to the bottom Of the heap. the noxious
seed Is preserved from burning.

Those who have a chestnut grove ana
keep 1t free from depredatOrs may find
it source OF profit. We know one or
two such groves which yield returns
with no labor except for gath
ering the nuts better than could
be got for usual farm crops. But
to secure profitable returns the
public must be excluded. Men and
boys who club the trees while the nuts
are green to bring them down will dis
figure and injure the trees, SO that after
few years the trees will yield little
or nothing. Chestnut trees, II the fruit

There are several improved varieties
