KEEPING UP FERTILITY.

One of the surest marks of a good
gardener is that he is always on the
lookout to have on hand an ample
supply of fertilizing matter for the
soil. How reasonable that is, and yet
strange to say one meets with persons
who, judging only by their acts, seem
to think that plants do not need food.
They need it quite as much as do ami
mails; both grow from that on which
they feed. 1t is true all cultivated
soil contains some plant food in the
shape OF vegetable humus. deposited
there in one way or another in the
past. But the good gardener looks
upon present fertility as sort of
revenue, and sees to it that enough
manure is applied to the soil each year
to meet the needs of the current crops.
1t would be lesson TO some amateur
gardeners to visit the successful mar
ket gardens of our large cities and see
how, year after year, thlcH qcoateSuf
manure, thirty or forty tons to the
acre. are applied. The Silver Knight.

In Terror From Muskrats.

Residents of WaItham are in terror
of their lives because of the preva-
lence of muskrats of a huge size about
the streets. These rats are supposed
to come from a number of old drains
about the city, in which they breed,
and sally out at night to attack peace
full pedestrians.
Early one morning Conductor W.
F. Phelps, of the Fitchburg Railroad,
was coming down the railroad track
and was attacked by large rat, which
tried to fasten its teeth in the con-
ductor's leg. The latter drew his re-
volver and fred two shots into the rat
before it was killed.
A few nights ago DR.. Fred NJ. Stiles
had death struggle with rat which
lay in wait for him in front of his
house on Moody street. DIR. Stiles
picked up a barrel stave in self
defence and hit the rat with it as the
latter rushed at him, but it broke
short off in his hand, and the animal
sprang at him again and again, until
it was finally stunned by a lucky
blow. 1t was as large as grown cat
and had teeth two inches long.
But the nerviest attack was made
upon Patrolman Cannon. A rat
jumped on him and climbed up his
legs, biting him all the while. The
policeman drew his club and after a
hard struggle succeeded in beating off
the animal. Boston Herald.

THE PORTAL TRELLIs.

The beautiful spider web tracery eff
fected in rope work is one of the
artistic devices for "bringing down
the ceiling" i. e., shortening the ap.
parent height of doorway where
sliding door and portieres are in use.
Sometimes the upper space is occupied
with strips of ornamental open wood
work. Both these decorative schemes
involve busting. The wood lattice
work can be freed of dust by patient
use of the bellows or soft end of
cloth used in the crannies. This is a
dangerous performance, because it
must be done on the step ladder. If
the rope work has been gilded or
silvered it should not be busted ex-
cept with feather duster, because
handling will make the metallic sheath
crack off in fakes.
