HOUSEHOLD SPICE.

All the way along we more or less
waste our strength by shifting when the
iron is cold.
Sensitiveness is a natural quality.
We cannot destroy it if we would, and
we would not if we could.
1t does not hurt drum to be beaten,
but harp gives up its soul of sweet
ness to the touch of dimpled fingers.
We fence off our Christianity, and
deem it meet to drape ourselves in
ghostly garb when we enter the sacred
inclosure.
Take aim before you shoot; other
wise your charge may go crashing in
among heartstrings and still their
quivering forever.
The children of this world are wiser
in their generation than the children of
light; and the children of light are
often wiser about everything else than
about the light itself.
Some hearts are all outdoors, and
some are labyrinth in which, unless
you get a clew-thread, you may grope
forever without discovering the secret
chamber where the Presence sits en-
throned.--Gail Hamilton.

FLORAL HINTS.

Cuttings of the fichus will not start
we'll without bottom heat. Better buy a
young plant.
Moles, so it is said, viii not remain
long where the castor oil plant (Ricin-
us) grows.
Lavender is grown like any ordinary
garden plant. You can procure seed
of any dealer in flower seeds.
Roses do best in a somewhat heavy
soil containing considerable clay. Car
nations are generally increased by cut
tings or by lavering.
Fertilizer for Rcses.-Use old, rotted
COW manure on the roses in your gar
den. Use it literally, digging it in well
about the roots.
Tulips and hyacinths need not be re-
moved to new beds each year. An
nuals can be grown in the same bed in
summer without injury.
Old Bulbs.-It is not advisable to
keep bulbs which have been forced in
the house for a second crop of flowers.
Get fresh bulbs each year.
Peony plants must become perfectly
established before flowers can be eX-
pected from them. Any disturbance of
the roots is not recovered from imme-
diately.--Ladies' Home journal.

SOME LATE NEW THINGS.

Gloves for use in husking corn are
made with steel point inside the palm
to project out beyond the forefnger
and rip the husks open.
A window shade which is adjustable
at the top as well as at the bottom is
hung on two cords which wind up on
spring drums at the ends of the roller
the shade being raised and lowered as
usual.
A newly-patented fishpole has re-
yersible butt with both ends followed
out to receive the first joint OF the rod,
so it can be turned to bring the reel
above or below the grip for the hand.
The combination of dustpan and
mouse-trap, recently invented, has q
hinged top projecting over the pan
which can be set by q spring catch and
released by means of lever on which
bait is fixed.
In a recent patented roller bearing for
vehicles the rollers are set at an angle
in the cups and the cones can be drawn
together by q wrench, thus making
them capable of adjustment like ball
bearings.
A new fire escape for use in hotels and
large buildings is formed of a large
cushioned chair with box in the seat
under the cushion containing a rope
ladder to be attached to the char and
hung out OF the window.
To cool beer and other liquids the
barrel or reservoir from which they
are to be drawn is connected with a
coil of pipe running into chamber and
around cake of ice, with the faucet at
the other end of the pipe.
To prevent the thread of a spool from
unwinding faster than it is needed, a
circle of spring wire is slipped over the
spool to hold it tightly, with an eyelet
on one side through which the thread
passes as it unwinds.
An improved punctureless armor for
tires has arc-shaped scales
attached to the tread of the tire just in
side the outer fabric, with fianges on
one edge of the scales to overlap the
straight edge Of the next scale.-Chi-

Philosophy at tho Zoo.

Two youths looked into cage of
monkeys.
Through their nostrils puffs of
smoke came fourth at regular inter-
walls from white wrapped cigarettes.
Their heads were nicely balanced

Light bamboo canes grasped firm
ly in the middle showed they were
full grown men.
"See," said one, what we have

And they looked into the cage of

Historic Tree stu,np.

The stump of the tree to which
Israel Putnam was once tied in the
French and Indian war is still
standing in the little village of
Grown Point, a town in the upper
part of this state. 1t was in the
course of skirmish near Wood
creek, at the time of the French in
vasion in August, 1858, that he was
captured by the Indians and tied to
this tree. While the flames were
soaring his flesh he was saved by
Captain Molang, a French officer,
who rushed through the crowd,
scattered the firebrands, cuffed and
upbraided the Indians and released
their victim. Putnam was taken to
Montreal and presently freed by ex-
change. A great many strangers
who go to the town and hear the
story chip off pieces of the stump as
relics The tree is about 3 feet in
diameter. New York Tribune.

that when horse of this hrer'
finds himself wp'a,'
that he will not be Az
rider much longer he quickly re-
tires from the conflict, bearing his
master to place OF safety while he
has still sufficient strength. But if,
on the other hand, tile rider is
wounded and falls to the ground
the faithful animal remains beside
him, unmindful of danger, neighing
until assistance is brought.

Pea Vine Hay.

The value Of pea vine hay needs
hardly to lie advocated to the old
fashioned sugar planter, who has
been depending on it for many
years. There is one somewhat
new idea, however connected with
the hay feature Of pea planting
that has not yet been sufficiently
discussed, and that is that the fire.
qnent loss or injury to pea vine
hay caused by summer rains can
be Obviated by the late planting
Of the peas, SO that they shall not
mature until the autumnal dry
weather shall have set in. Peas
planted the last half of June are
still green in September, and in
this state September is usually a
dry month, at least after the 10th
Of the month. Let some of the
planters who have been discouraged
In saving pea vine hay make the
experiment Of late planting and
they will probably find themselves
gratifed with the results.-Louisi-

Establishment Of Post
Offices.

Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow has inaugurated new policy as
to the establishment Of postoffices. The
last administration exercised very con-
sentative policy in dealing with this
question, holding that there were al
ready too many offices in operation, and
that it would be better as \ general
proposition not to have the Offices too
close together.
The present regime has determined
to establish Offices wherever any reason
able amount of business can be secured
with the idea of accommodating as
many people as possible. While some
attention is being paid to the rule that
Offices generally should not be closer
together than three miles, this is not a
fixed limit and many exceptions have
been made. The scheme is to provide
mall facilities wherever there is 4 SUI
icient number of people or amount Of
business that would make it pay, such
questions as location near q star or
other route, however, of course figuring
in tine matter.
