did not think all life. was nothing but
q farce. And, oh, the inexpressible re-
lief, the happiness, the calm, the
peace Of the simple, quiet life they
were now leading! Mrs. De Navar-
ro's face beamed as she talked about
their life-their unconventional roam
ings, their simple pleasures, their love
for music and art, and their friendly
intercourse with kindred spirits. But
what struck me most was the beautiful
devotion to their religion, the rever
the evident part it played in their
everyday lives. A short time after
ward Mrs. De Navarro wrote to me, and
] observed then that her letters were
Just al spontaneous, as impulsively
friendly and as unaffected as the writer
herself.
The solitude a deux, which Mr.. and
Mrs. De Navarro found 81 c%ongenial,
does not seem to have palled yet. For
years they lived the same free, uncon-
ventional life, pitching their tent here
and there, while the villa at Tunbridge
Wells remained the pied a terre where
they could turn when they wanted to
be within their own four walls. But
they remained great travellers, being
very fond of nature in all her different
aspects. Now you might hear of them
in a place in rural England, which lay
very far off the beaten travellers track,
and again you might write, hoping to
see them, and the answer came, 1--WE
are Just off for Spain, and from there
to other parts of the Continent" Never
a word of longing to be back in public
life, and always the same intense
thankfulness that that chapter of life
was closed.

Training Crane Vines,

e. G. Lodeman, Department of Agri-
culture Report: Another system Of
post training differs radically from the
spurred or branched near the surface
of the soil the stem is carried upward
in a spiral to the top Of the post, and
the short arms, of which there are gen.
orally two or more, are formed at the
summit. The are cut back to
the desired number of buds, and the
shoots grow freely downward. This
system, which is followed in some
parts Of western Michigan, really
should be included in the third class,
but as it is commonly known as a va
riety OF the post system it is here con-
sidered with the others.
Leaving these simple systems, in
which the method Of training presents
no complicated features, a much more
complex group will be considered. The
shoots are still trained upward. but
their position is, theoretically, deter
mined with almost mathematical pre-
cision.
The Horizontal Arm Spur, or Fuller,
System-This system presents the
above features in a particularly formal
manner, and when the details of this
method are carefully mastered the
other methods present no special diff
culties. 1t is not so fully discussed on
account of it's wide use (for, as a mat
ter of fact, the horizontal arm spur
system is little in favor among vine
yardists) but rather because it offers an
opportunity to show in an almost ideal
| manner most of the points which arise
in connection with nearly all the other
systems in this as we'll as in the other
! two groups. Its principal merit, there
fore, lies in its value for illustrative
purposes.
When a grapevine is first set in a
| vineyard it may be one or two years
| old, the former being preferable in the
majority of cases. The zane is cut back
to two buds, and during the first season
its shoots are allowed to lie prone
upon the surface of the soil.
Assuming that all the pruning is
done a short time before the arrival OF
the growing season, at the beginning
of the second year the newly-set vine
will have a w~ellestablished root system
and two canes Of varying length. The
weaker of these n should now be
removed entirely and the other should
be cut back, SO that it remains about
Is inches in length. If cut in this man,
ner the INT is sufficiently long to
reach to the lowest wire when the trel-
lis is made. By some, however, the
cane is cut back again to two buds, as
in the previous yezr. This causes the
stem to branch near the surface Of
the ground, instead Of at the loves
wire. Either method maybe followed
to advantage, although single stems
render cultivation more easy. This
cane, whatever its length. Is to form
the stem of the vine, and as there are
to be two arms. only two of the
strongest shoots need be retained after
the growths are sufficiently advanced
for their comparative vigor to be seen
1t is better that all the other shoots
be then removed, SO that the two tina
are to remain may become the strong
err. But II the unnecessary growths art
not removed until the following spring
no material injury will be done to the
vine.

About Strawberries.

The New York station recommends
as fertilizers for the strawberry for
nitrogen, $50 to 800 pounds nitrate of
soda, applied during the growing sea-
son, or 1875 to $50 pounds of %sulphate
Of ammonia, or $50 to 500 pounds dried
blood. For phosphoric acid $50 to LOO
pounds of bone meal, or 375 to 760
pounds dissolved bone, or $50 to 90O
pounds dissolved rock. Fol potash.
40 to $50 pounds muriate. or same OF
sulphate, or $50 to 1,109 pounds kainit,
or 1,4OO to $500 pounds wood ashes.
In setting the plants, the crown should
be on a level with the soil, no higher
and no lower. The roots should not
be allowed to get dry. Dip them in
water as soon as they begin to get dry.
Trim the roots back at least one-third,
and spread them fan-shaped when set
ting, filling in gradually and firm we'll.
Some prefer the hill culture for small
gardens, setting the plants In rows
three feet apart, and one foot apart in
the row, and not allowing them to bios
som or put out runners the first sea-
son. This makes fine large plants, but
those who grow for market think 1t
requires too much time to keep of the
runners. They like better the narrow
or wide-matted ones, the rows being
three to four feet apart. and the plants
| fifteen to eighteen inches apart, and the
runner being allowed to fill the space
between. II the row is left at one foot
wide 1t is termed the narrow row and
at two feet wide a wide row. Runners
must be cut to keep them within
bounds, and they will probably need
to have the runners thinned out In
many places. Some varieties have the
fruit so small after the first crop n a
they are scarcely worth retaining after
they have borne once. Others make
but few runners, and may be allowed
to fruit for two or three seasons. In
this case, after the crop has been pick
ed, NOV off the tops of the plants and
burn them, to destroy weeds, insects,
rust and the old mulch on the ground.
The mulch may be coarse manure
| cheap hay, straw, pine needles or pine
boughs, or leaves, If there is some
! thing to hold them in place. Avoid
using a mulch likely to contain weed
seeds; and put it on when the ground
is frozen so hard as to bear up the
horse and wagon. One row in, four
should consist of plants having perfect
or staminate blossoms.

Dispatches from Shanghai state that
the Chinese complain bitterly of the
fact that they do not possess a wal
port for the Ave warships which are
being built for them abroad, and which
are due to arrive in Chinese waters this
summer. Unless Wei-Hai-Wei, occu-
pied by the Japanese, is evacuated,
which is doubtful, the Chinese have no
place in which to receive their new
warships. Commenting on this situa-
tion the Chicago Chronicle says: THE
man without a country has frequently
been made the subject Of more or less
fanciful tales, but a national navy
without a hailing port is something
that has not yet occurred to romanc-
ers. The Chinese navy, however, fur
nishes an actual illustration of such a
situation. The Pekin government,
which placed contracts with English
shipwrights for a feet Of warships, now
finds itself without a port in which to
receive the vessels. Russia, Germany.
France and Japan have possessed
themselves of every available harbor.
and the Chinese navy may only enter
Chinese ports by the courtesy of some
foreign power. Probably no such sit
uation ever existed before. 1t is as
II the Swiss republic, completely iso-
lated from the sea-, were to establish a
navy and keep the vessels in a sort of
marine livery stable in the harbors of
other powers. AS there appears to be
no remedy for the situation it may be
suggested that the Chinese could do
worse than dispose of their navy to the
highest cash bidder. There will be no
trouble, just now, in finding a pur-
chaser"

1t is reported that when a freight
train was derailed on the Burlington
road one car, loaded with eggs, rolled
completely over and landed in a ditch
without breaking a single egg. This
reads like a wild and woolly' story,
but it may well call attention to the
extraordinary carefulness with which
eggs are now handled and packed for

Noodles for Scum.

To make noodles, break two fresh
eggs into a bowl; add a tablespoonful of
salt and enough sifted -four to make
a dough as stiff as you can work it.
Knead it on a Toured board until it is
pliable. 1t will take about fifteen
minutes. Roll it out as thin as a wafer;
that is, as thin as you can. Cut the
dough into strips about four inches
wide. Roll them up in the direction
Of the width lightly, after dredging
them a little with -four. With a very
keen knife slice off the rolls from the
ends, each about an eighth of an inch
wide. If properly done these slices
will form curls. When dried on a
board for an hour and dropped into
boiling soup, they should uncurl in
ribbons four inches long. They swell
and enlarge in boiling. Cook them ten
minutes and serve them in the soup.

not find artichokes profitable. But to
the farmer who is raising hogs the arti-
choke may prove Of great value.
Artichokes need only common soil,
and even do we'll on poor soil. They
will stand more neglect than most
crops and yet yield an annual crop.
This makes them particularly valuable
to farmers that have many hogs.
much land and few hired men. In such
cases the harvesting is done by the
hogs themselves, thus saving the ex-
pense OF labor. When they are thus
fed, being rooted out by the swine
there will usually be enough tubers left
in the ground to seed the whole area
for the next year.
Although %artichokes will grow on
poor land they do best on land that Ia
rich, light and that has an open ex-
| posure. The plant is very hardy and
will endure the cold of any part Of
the United States. Plow deep and mar

to plant the seed in hills, as the plants
spread rapidly. Prepare the ground as
for potatoes, planting the seed In q
similar manner. the hills being about
three feet apart. About three bushels
of seed will be required to the acre
