such astonishing ease. We anticipate an
other visit from him this summer, and know
the time will be spent as agreeably as be-
fore.
The force of carpenters is reduced by

most necessary-the clearing. We could
plant and cultivate more land than will be
available to farm this year, and other things
may consequently be sighted until after May

Bro Denis Mccoy is back again visiting
with us this week. Some there be who inti-
mate that this visit is to be accounted for on
the score of special business rather than be-
cause of any general or miscellaneous inter-

his presence, and if we should have some
thing more interesting to relate later on why
we will try and be equal to the occasion.

Our Boys.

Every now and then some member OF the
colony meets me with the question, well,
Bro Joseph, how are you getting along with
the boys?" So far, my invariabe answer has
been, First rate, of course | do not mean
by that, that the boys are the acme Of perfec-
ton for there is. and ever will be IN all OF
us much room for Improvement. but do
mean, that as boys and under the present
condition of things, they are not second to
any class of boys have ever met They are
willing TO work. and they work with will
and good nature. which makes it pleasant to
be with them. As yet. they have not learned
at their work to mind their own business. In
this respect they are not in advance OF adults.
When the art of minding our own business is
attained. then we have knocked the bottom
out of all strife and contention, and paradise
ON earth is entered into.
The courtesy and general good behavior of
the boys impresscs me most favorable. Thus
far have not heard from the boys while at
their work any offensive profanity, which at
tribute to the manifestation of what Shakes
peare calls the divinity within. and the pro-
prietios of home life, forif profanity is heard
at home. the children will be sure to proclaim
it abroad From the good conduct of the
boys | infer that [ have parental backing.
which encourages me to continue in well do
ing. do not feel at liberty to say more at
present. fer we have no faith in brags. but
much in noble deeds that will Prove bene-
dictiCn to all.

On Washing DisheA

Of all the many duties that fall to
woman's lot that of washing dishes is,
without an exception, most abhorred.
Yet there is no reason why it should
be so. It is not dirty, sloppy work
unless it is made SO by carelessness,
and there is no reason why the hands
should be ruined by the process.
The chief things required to make
dishwashing pleasure are care, order
and plenty of hot water and soap.
The dishes when removed from the
table should not be piled up in the
scullery in an indiscriminate mass
pots, kettles, pans, glassware. silver
Let each of its kind be put to-
gether. All cooking utensils should
have been replaced upon the range
and filled with water, and thus al
lowed to soak until the time comes
for cleaning them. There should be
a receptacle in which to place all the
waste scraps as they are scraped from
the plates. They should then be
piled up neatly to one side. The
most important thing in dish washing
is to have plenty of hot water, use
sufficient soap, and have dishcloth
or mop and drying towels in ample
supply.
Begin with the glassware and follow
with the tea things, then the spoons,
knives and forks, and SO on, till all
are washed and set up neatly to
drain. When drying do not try to
make one towel do it all. When it
becomes too wet to cry we'll put it on
one side and take a fresh one. Home

minutes can 90 through this Bible par

fountains bubbling up into eternal life

TO one OF these summer watering places
and take the water, anu analyze it and tell
you it contains so much Of iron, and so much
OF soda, and SO much Of lime, and so much
OF magnesia. I come to this gospel we'll,
this living fountain, and analyze the water
and find that its ingredients are peace par
don forgiveness, hope, comfort, life, heaven.
'Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye''
to this watering place! Crowd around
this Bethesda. Oh, you sick, you lame,
you troubled. you dying, crowd around
this Bethesda! Step in it, oh, step in it!
The angel Of the covenant to-day stirs the
water. Why do you not step in it? Some
Of you are too weak to take step in that
direction. Then we take you up in the
arms Of prayer and plunge you clear under
the wave, hoping that the cure may be as
sudden and as radical as with Captain
Naaman, who, blotched and carbuncled,

a Hint For the Orchar0igt.

The frequent plowing and culti-
yation on orchards, the growing Of
clover and other catch crops among
the trees, and covering these in the
soil, is the wise practice of these later
years, and such conditions have modi-;
fed orchard practice SO that orchard
lists quite generally agree that in form
ing the head Of the tree the lower
branches should be high enough hot
to DE very much in the way Of the
team.
The upright stem, with limbs join
ing the trunk at right angles, is the
best form. This is hard to attain in
eli cases. the habits CT growth Of diff
ferent varieties are so diverse. Any
tree neglected for three years afte,
setting in the orchard site can never
be pruned into as good form as though
taken in hand earlier and looked after
each year.
The contingency that some time the
tree may be subjected to severe strain
by ice and snow, or from being heav-
lily laden with fruit, should be kept in
mind. A crotch caused by too nearly
equal branches diverging at an acute
AISLE shonld ALWAYS be prevented.

Curtains For the Window.

Thin white curtains IN a window
always suggest daintiness and refine
ment, but where the sun shines strong
they make too glaring an effect in
side. For this reason the softer
sheerer muslins, those with less re-
Elective surface, are to be preferred.
1ellows and pinks in soft shades and
sheer materials are in USE When
the eye of the neighbor has to be
considered pretty fashion is to have
a thin curtain next the window, this
curtain to be drawn back or looped or
SO arranged as to look we'll from the
street, a sheer transparent color be-
ing hung straight, inside. next the
room. No one from outside can see
through, and those inside can see out
without being deprived of any light.
Heavy curtains are used inside Of
these when required, and are generally
of silk or chintZ in bedroom, Of silk,
tapestry, or rich stuff in a drawing-
room OF library. Harper BaZar.

A Gig"
Obsolete In It's Meaning of a F1iShty
Girl.

Obsolete In It's Meaning of a F1iShty
Gig has one Or two obsolete and
rare meanings Of interest, says the
Academy It Is obsolete in its mean
Ing of fighty girl, though a writer
so comparatively modern as Nine.
D'Arblay wrote in her diary: Char
lotte L called, and the little gig
told all the quarrels." In the sense Of
an oddity or fool the word probably
survives locally. WhyteM Melville
makes someone say in Kate Coven-
try" Such set Of gigs my dear,
never saw in my life. Not
good-looking man among them" Yet
note that the word is put into quota
ton marks "In high gig" meant in
high spirits. Gig had the third
meaning Of fun, glee. Sir Walter
Besant locates the phrase in the thir-
ties of this century in his Fifty Years
Ago: "A laughter-loving lass OF IS,
who dearly loved a bit Of gig" No
connection with giggle" is suggested.
BY the way. I see that NJ. Leslie
Stephen has had the teEerity to write
Of the house Of commons "giggling
over some delicious story OF bribery
and corruption" Although gig" a
fighty girl, is obsolete. "gigglet, "
meaning the same thing, IS apparently
not so. 4 writer in Chambers Jour
nal uses Il with effect in the sentence:
Why should female clerks in the post
al service consist Of pert giglets hard
" cut Of their teens?" 'Giglet fairs"
(eor hiring female farm servants) are
still he'd in the west OF England.

Tending to the Grapevines.

Very few vines or trees give better
than the grapes. Guilt
waiting them on O large commercial
scale has been reduced to science
that takes away good deal of the
sentiment which attached to the old
family grape arbor. Grapes are so
cheap now that many farmers are CIV
ing up growing them for home use,
depending upon the markets for all
thei, families consume. For fruit
that is SO easily raised this is mis-
take. Enough grapes should be
raised on trellises or arDors to provide
eating for the whole family from early
fall to the middle of winter. There
should be "a abundance on the table
all the time, for there is no healthier
fruit raised, and plenty should be left
over for canning.
The mistake is often made on farm
houses to let old out-ofdate vines
Chamber over the arbor. This should
be torn down and some Of the best va
rieties planted Select one variety
each of the early, medium and late
grapes. Then let them grow in a
thrifty condition, stirring and enrich
ing the soil about their roots when
they need it, and pruning them back
every fall. About all the care grapes
raised for home consumption need in
this way is to loosen the soil occa-
sionally, and prune them back. More
depends upon the pruning than most
growers imagine. This has more to
do with the bearing of the vines than
anything else. Very often it is bet
ter to prune them back to the main
stem, leaving only one joint on each
branch Then let this Joint produce
one branch that can be trained to the
trellis. BY repeating this operation
the arbor can be covered with
branches aud stems that have been
carefully selected with view to their
special fitness. There will be no
abundant vine growth then, and every
branch will produce its quota OF
grapes.
Grapes to ripen well must have air.
In the first place the arbor should be
so located that the air can circulate
| evenly through it. Il put away II
| some corner where no wind can blow
through the vines, the fruits will not
| ripen well, and moulds aud fungi vii
