CURED OF JEALOUSY.
A Sight of the Suspected Rival Produced
Perfect Confidence.


They are old friends, and sometimes
when husbands are out of the way they
meet for long, confidential talk, such
as they used to have when they were
girls.
They had one the other day, and in
the midst of it one of them said:
You know I've been married eight
years-it doesn't seem so long, but it
really is. Well, the truth is, that all
that time I've been jealous of the wom
an to whom my husband was engaged
before ever saw him."
You goose, why he is devoted hus-
band! Why on earth"
"Yes. | know now was silly, but
just couldn't help it. Many a night I've
lain awake thinking about it. Why,
every time the dinner wasn't good, I'd
imagine he was thinking that she'd
have given him better one. o, can't
tell you all the things thought. Some
times just wanted to die and be out of

band and found that there was no cause
for jealousy"

must be left on the vine, as the next
year a similar bunch of buds will grow
out of the center of the same stump.
This plant is easily propagated from
well-matured leaf, but it's growth is
very slow, three years being required
to form sufficient strength of vine to
bear blossoms. 1t thrives in partial
shade in a soil of turfy, sandy loan,
and it must have good drainage. The
matter Of drainage is very important,
as this plant does not like reporting
or being disturbed in any way. The
soil may be strengthened by removing
some of the old portion and filling UP
the pot with fresh well-enriched earth.

THE SEWING ROOM.
Every Housekeeper should Insist Upon
Having One Arranged.

Every Housekeeper should Insist Upon
Having One Arranged.
Have you a room which you keep es-
pecially for sewing? If you have not,
l would advise you to arrange for one
without delay, for it can be obtained at
a very trifling cost, while the comfort
it affords cannot be reckoned.
A large room is not needed for this
purpose, and, in fact, a small one is
more desirable; for in it all the appli-
ances of work can be kept more easily
at hand. Care should be taken, how
ever, that the light is not INSTRUCTED by
window hangings, and shades, arranged
so that they can be raised to the full
height of the window, are all the cur
tains necessary.
A low chair is best to sew in, and If
it be a rocker, so much the better, while
some people use their piazza chairs
for this purpose during the winter
months.
To hold up the arms while cutting,
even for a short time, is extremely
fatiguing, and for this reason the cut
ting table should be low, and should
also be on casters, so that it can be
moved at will.
The little cutting tables that are sold
in the large dry goods stores are very
convenient, for they have one edge
marked off in inches, like a tape meas
ure, and can be folded up and put away
when the cutting is over.
Besides the sewing machine, the room
should contain a scrap basket, a rag
bag, a pattern bag, chest of drawers,
which can be made from an old bureau,
and two or three footstools.
A small covered board, for pressing,
is, of course, necessity in this room,
while tlatiron, an iron holder, and iron
rest should accompany the board, and it
is well to have an oil or gas stove in the
room. so that the iron can be heated
without frequent trips to the kitchen.
Of course. if you have an old discard
ed extension table, it will be found
valuable addition to the sewing-room,
especially when cutting out large gar
ments, because for this purpose you re-
quire a table at least three feet in width,
and five feet or more in length.
If you find it necessary to employ a
seamstress, to help out with the fam
lily sewing, she will fully appreciate this
secluded nook, while as for busy imam
ma" when she has bit of important
sewing which must be done, and she
wishes IN no free from domestic cares
for awhile, in order to finish it, she will
indeed hail this room as a welcome re-
treat,-N. Y. Weekly.

AN INDIAN RUNNER DUCK.

In the feathers sent, there is a tendency
to blush coloring toward the center,
light fawn toward the edges. The fawn
markings seem the prevailing color at
present favored, although other colors
are mentioned of the ducks, however
with doubt as to their purity and quail
ity. Yet their color is not what they
are judged by. but their shape, habits
and truely profitable quality. They arr
said to have been first introduced into
Yorkshire about 1S years ago, the first
having been brought from India by
sea captain to a gentleman of White
haven, in Cumberland.
The name Runner seems to have been
attached to them from their habit of
chasing after their food, which is most
ly sought for over fields and meadows,
the water being sought by them chiefly
for drink and a good bath. 1t is no
wonder to find such active birds as theV
are described to be, of great vigor. early
to mature and such prolific layers
They are at seven or eight weeks full
grown and ready for the table. The
drake comes into possession of the blacl,
patches on head and face at about five
to six weeks old. Their usual Weights
about four poundS, not very large. but
when it is considered that the dues
have laid ut FIVE months and can be
made t. conEpue laying all winter, and
that NI'aging for most of their own
food is their natural habit, we can
easily recognize in them a profitable
duck on the farm and on large estates.
In confinement, they are said to do very
poorly, but where a large free range
can be given them they hunt nearly
their entire living, requiring only
plenty of water and feed at night be-
fore turning in. = +. L. Sewall, in

The best packing for chaff hive is
good wheat chat.
Chaff cushions are preferable to loose
chaff in packing bees in chat hives.
Never have hives in building fol

After cold weather sets in sirup can
not be fed to bees to an advantage, and
candy must be provided.
Bees should always have an alighting
board of some kind, especially if the en-
trance is high off the ground.
Be careful now to put the brood
combs back in the same places they
were before taking them out.
During the winter. if bees are kept in
thin hives, unprotected, the moisture
