Successful Crane Grating.

J. l. Porter, Of Ohio, writes: An
old Clinton vine stood at the corner Of
the woodhouse which was so vigorous
that its branches spread over every
thing within reach, but bore no fruit.
In April, 1896, 1 cut both branches off
close to the ground and grated a
Delaware grape into one and an Iona
into the other. l used no wax; simply
wrapped carefully with strings of
cloth, pasted little mud over the
wound and covered all with earth ex-
cept the top buds of the gratis. Those
gratis made wonderful growth the
first season, owing to the far-reaching
roots of the Clinton vine. At close of
the first season the Iona vine was
about 18 feet long and the Delaware
about IL. This season, with the vines
one year old, the Delaware branch
bore twenty-four as fine lunches of
Delaware grapes as L ever saw. The
punches and berries were slightly
larger than the Delaware generally
grows and so compact on the stems
that they could not be picked off east
ly without beginning at the end of the
stem.
The Iona branch bore about forty
bunches of Iona grapes of the finest
quality. This is a quick way of get
ting grapevine into bearing. tried
the same experiment on wild grape
vine down in the pasture. It grew
just as vigorously, but an inquisitive
Jersey COW spoiled the experiment.

Fashion Notes.

Old-fashioned pink canoes are COM
ing into vogue again, and the old-time
setting is TO be retained.
Huguenot caps are added to the
tops of many of the short, full, puffed
sleeves of evening bodies.
Collars with stole ends are worn by
the woman who loves frills. They
can be fashioned by any deft fingers
directed by taste.
Many of the demi-trained dress
skirts are cut with nine cores, and at
the back some are box-plaited and
others fan-plaited.
The small pad hustle is now worn
with the latest day costumes and even
ing toilets; and those of larger pro-
portions are announced.
The new shirt waists for spring are
made up in the zephyr goods, with
pockets, it is said. Instead of but
tons many of the prettiest shirt waists
will be laced up with cords.
Cravats of white net, null or liberty
silk, trimmed with fTills of lace, chiffon
or net, are made easily aud may be as
simple or as elegant as time, skill and
purse permit. Owing 20 their airy
daintiness they seem especially suit
able for gifts.
Among the handsome imported
gowns seen at some recent openings,
several were of black Chantilly lace,
embroidered with steel or jet sequins
and beads and made over black satin.
1t is predicted that lace costumes will
be much worn in Paris next year
Peplums, which are added to Rus
sian blouses, jacket bodices, surplice
waists aud similar garments, are
ahaped in various ways. Some are
credelated, others cut in oval tabs OF
sharp Vandykes, and also in circular
form, with or without plaits at the
back.
Velvet is in high favor for smart
/ gowns this season. Corduroy is seer

That history repeats itself has just
received another proof Some years
ago the men of a Bavariau regiment,
of which Prince Macmillan was chief,
in order that they might show their
devotion to him, cut off their mus
taches and sent them to the princess,
who had Just become a mother, that
she might use them as a pillow
Something very like a repetition of
this has just taken place at Rappoist-
weller, in Alsatia. The chief of the
fire brigade was a few days ago pre-
sented with his first child, boy.
The fremen thereupon called a meet
ing, at which it was decided to make
the baby boy an honorary member OF
the corps, and the men subsequently
cut off their mustaches aud boards to
form a pillow for the baby's USE

A python twenty feet in length, that
lied in the reptile house Of the Lon
Ion Geological Society last month,
vas the largest reptile ever confined
here. There is general impression
hat pythons reach a length of forty
eet or more, an absurdity made mani
est when the authorities assert that
he female Indian python still in the
tardens, and but trifie over eighteen
leet long, is the longest snake in cap
hvity of which there is any record.
Seneral impressions as TO the length
If these great reptiles are due to the
lbsurd pictures that formerly decorat-
I'd Biographies aud other works used
Iometimes as text books, showing a
picture of a python in the act of crush
ng and swallowing an Indian buffalo.
That was a ridiculous picture that
was the father of many rof the "freak
journalism" pictures of the present
lay. The London python, which was
real instead of a fabulous reptile,
was just over twenty feet in length.
It was obtained in Malacca, and was
presented to the society by DIR. Hamp-
shire on August 30, 1876, and had,
therefore, lived rather more than
twenty years in England. During
that period it had been fed principally
with ducks, of which it sometimes
swallowed four or five at one meal.
its food was offered to it once a week,
but it sometimes refused to eat for a
month together The specimen will
be mounted for the Tring Museum.

Among the papers read was one by DIR.
4. d. Crothers, of Hartford, Conn, on
"The Insanity Of Inebriety." He said there
were neurotic storms which impelled men
to drink at certain definite periods which
returned with the same regularity as the
tides. These were veritable insanitles. A
large number Of men thus affected were
suffering from paresis, also from moral
paralysis condition Of things in which
the person was unable to determine his
proper relations to people in general. The
continued use OF alcohol destroyed the
moral idea, and made the person untruth-
ful, dishonest. intriguing and unreliable.

RaIslng Fall Calves.

There is great unwillingness on
the part of most dairymen to allow
calves dropped in the fall to reach ma
turity. It is really the greatest OBJ
lection to the extension of winter
dairying. That in all cases takes the
best COWS, as no one would think OF
keeping poor mixers through the win
ter, with all the extra trouble that
winter dairying involves. But il all
the calves of these winter cows are
sent TO the butcher it must mean a
great deterioration of average dairy
stock. No one should begin winter
dairying unless he has warm barn,
which frost will not enter, in which to
keep his COWS, and succulent feed OF
some kind TO feed them. These are
just the conditions for successfully
rearing fall farrowed calves.

The Ripple Collar.

The newest collar is the one known
Is ripple" which really does not
ripple any more than those oflast year
1t differs from the old collar in that it
ats snugger to the neck, and yet has
The same effect Of haring which it had.
If the collar flares too much it loses in
warmth, and yet it is the flare which
Is becoming to most faces. An ingen-
ious maker offur garments has obviated
Ihis difficulty by making the collar
slightly more faring, and then catch
ing it in plaits about two inches wide
At regular intervals. The plat is not
evident except upon close inspection,
and yet the collar has the effect of be-
ing extremely full, at the same time
standing up snug and trim around the
neck so as hardly to require fastening
in front.

Some Tricks of Heredity.

DR.. Conklin gave many peculiar in
stances of family characteristics run
ning through many generations. In
one family it was noticed that three
extremely long hairs appeared on the
eyebrows of the children generation
after generation, and in another family
asmall mark on the ear was reproduced
for three generations by actual knowl-
edge. Twins and triplets usually ap-
peared time and again in the same
family, and while the marked heredi-
tary characteristics might be latent in
one generation, they would appear in
the next. He said that in Italy many
hundred years ago son was born
who had six fingers and the number of
his descendants who were similarly
affected was countless. The facial ex-
preston, the color of the eyes, the
hair, the carriage, and many little
oddities appeared and reappeared. In
his own family he noticed a peculiar
manner of crawling on the floor in
childhood was repeated in descend
ants and could not be corrected. -

The Caretaker.

Caretaker is word adopted into modern
use aud means one who takes care Of, aud
is very generally applied to those employed
to take care OF things committed to their
keeping. The way some people have OF TAX
ing care of Themselves is very suggestive
of the need OF a caretaker. The human
body to such is a mansion filled with
precious things uncared for, where thieves
may break in and rust doth corrupt. Pains
and aches are thieves, and the body left un-
cared for to their spoilage will be robbed OF
all its comforts and despoiled OF its peace
OF mind and happiness. 1t is a happy
thought to look upon st. Jacobs Oil as a
caretaker, to employ it as a watchman
against such intruders. There is hardly an
ache, from a toothache to toeache, that
it can't take care OF and effect a cure, and
pains the most violent are conquered by its
use. Its Office as a caretaker is to prevent
the spread of aches and pains into chronic
stage. Keep bottle of it in the handiest
place and be assured Of good care and COM

The Apple Mnggot.

The burrows which you see in ap-
pies are due to the presence of worm
in the apple, which is the product of
an egg laid very early in the growth OF
the apple by the apple maggot. As
the mature insect does not eat the ap-
pie, but only stings it to deposit her
egg beneath the skin, it is not likely
that the maggot can be killed by a poi
sonous insecticide. Some success has
been had by using an emulsion which
is applied before the tree is leaved
out. The maggot matches early in
spring and waits without eating until
her work i'll reproducing her species
is done. The orchard should be kept
as hog pasture wherever this pest
becomes numerous. There are many
of these pests in the fallen fruit, and
a good lot of hogs will eat this fruit as
fast as it falls to the ground. The in.
crease of the pest may thus be pre-.
vented if it cannot be exterminated.-

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.
selling on Poor stock.

As winter approaches every farmer
should look over his farm stock and
consider what of it will pay best for
keeping through until spring. If all
that does not come up to the standard
is sold to the butcher or otherwise dis
posed of, the money for it and the hay
or grain required for its winter susie
nance will leave the farmer richer in
the spring than if he fed it. Don't
try to get high prices for the poor
stock. There is less loss in disposing
of it than in keeping it. The farmers
profit, inlthese..days, depends more on
the. kind of stock he keeps than on any
other factor.
