The Isabella grape is an old-fashloned
variety that came into general cultiYa-
ton years before any of the newer
varieties were originated. As a conse-
quence, being a late-rlpening variety
it was long grown by farmers whose
locality was not adapted to it and who
could not get it to ripen. To be at Its
best, the Isabella requires as long a sea-
son as does the Catawba. 1t should
hang on thayine two weeks or more al
ter turning black. Then it Is nearly OF
quite as good as the Catawba, though
with quite a difference in favor

All farmers know that wood asbs,
are valuable for fertilizers. But thls
value is due very much to the material
from which the ashes come Tbus
ashes made from hard wood are mora
valuable than ashes made from sott
wood. 1t has also been found that ma
value Is largely governed by the mart
Of the tree from which the ashes 4
made. 1t is declared by chemists that
the ash of the young twigs is Of more
value than the ash Of the trunk Of tbe
tree, and the ash of leaves still more
valuable.

CUTTING WITH A STRING.

of cold water. The glass will instantly
crack where the string has rubbed it.
Probably not many boys know that
glass can be cut with a pair of shears,
and that almost as easily as if it were
pasteboard. 1t seems almost unbelieve-
able at first, but any boy can readily
prove its truth by trying it. Provide
large pail or tub of water. Hold the
pane of glass under the water with one
hand and cut it with the shears held in
the other hand. The pressure of the wa
ter prevents the glass from cracking.
1t is not possible to cut straight
through a piece of glass, as you would
through piece of paper. 1t must be
trimmed around the edges, where the
glass will crumble off easily and rapidly.
You can thus cut square pane of glass
to fit a round or oval frame, or you can
trim down large piece OF glass to fit a
smaller frame. 1t is simple method,
but it will often be found very useful.

door, "you've read about the shooting

sALUTING THE QUEEN.

of clubs, the horse, the elephant and
the tiger, napoleon and five-franc
piece, red, white and blue; and when
he is asked: What color is Bob?"
puts his foot upon white. He reads the
newspaper with his spectacles on and
does a number of small tricks, such
as shutting the door, jumping over
hands and catching ball. At this
last achievement he is very adept and,
indeed, as good as any dog of his size.
Bob sits up and salutes of his own
accord when he wants anything and
his most taking trick is considered to
be saluting the queens photograph and
the union jack, for he is British dog.
He is not very fond of spelling and
will sometimes, in hopes of getting off
it, do another trick instead. What he
really loves to do is to hunt for small
bits of hard toast hidden under the
carpet or the rug, which he always
finds at once. He recognizes pictures
of birds and cats, and once sat up and
pointed at very fine etching of Tyre
bird and golden pheasant on drawing
room wall. He is afraid of nothing and
was on one occasion wild to attack a
great bear in cage. He is travelled
dog and understands French and Ger
man as well as English. AS wind-up
the following anecdote shows that he
has kind heart. On arriving with his
mistress ut a country house he WIGS
introduced to terrier who always lived
in the stable yard and was never al
lowed to come into the house. When
Bob had Partaken of his own afternoon
tea he suddenly disappeared from the
drawing-room. but speedily returned,
wagging his tail and looking behind
him to encourage the dog from the sta
bles, whom he had been to fetch, in
order that he, too, might have share
in some of the good things. 1t was,
however, misplaced kindness, as the
unfortunate terrier who had been led
into temptation soon discovered.

South American Locusts.

American farmers who have consid-
cred the potato bug pest great calanl-

as compared with the troubles of their
brethren in Argentine and Uruguay
arising from the locust pest. To give
an idea of the vast number of locusts
that have played havoc with the grain
growing portions of those countries,
it is told that over great areas the
streams have been almost completely
choked up by the young of the insects
The odor thus caused becomes so of
