WISE WORDS.

All luxury corrupts either conduct or
taste.
In bringing up child, think of its
old age.
Use only gold and silver coin in the
commerce of speech.
The direction of the mind is more
important than its progress.
Happy is he who is only fit for one
thing In doing it he fulfills his des-
tiny.
There was time when the world in
huenced books, now books influence
the world.
All conquerors have had something
coarse in their views, their genius, and
their character.
To ask of human nature that it
should be infallible and incorruptible
is to ask of the wind that it should not
blow.
Ordinary fact, mere reality, cannot
be the object of art. Illusion based
upon truth-that is the secret of fine
arts.
In literature aothing makes minds
so imprudent and so bold as ignorance
of past times and contempt for old
books.
Whenever the words altar, tombs,
Inheritance, native land, ancient Gus
tom, foster mother, master, piety are
heard or pronounced with indifference,
oil is lost.
In the uneducated classes, the wom-

the men superior to the women. This
is because men are more often rich in
acquired virtues, and women in na-
tural virtues.
Other writer's set their thoughts be-

Any one who lights one cigarette
from another and then lights one Of
the same brand with a match will per-
ceive that the latter smokes much
fresher and sweeter. When you light
your cigarette by applying it to that

stale smoke and accumulated nicotine
Of his into yours. This spoils the
best cigarette made. In fact, no one
who appreciates the fresh flavor of
newly kindled tobacco would think Of
doing it. Should you be short of
matches, or particularly economical.
however, there is method of lighting
one cigarette from another by which
you can escape the evil consequences
described. This consists of applying
the whole surface of the end of the
end of the unlighted cigarette to the
red end of the other, and blowing, not
drawing, gently through it. The kim
ding occurs more rapidly and COM
pletely than in the old-fashioned way.

Sugar Plums. PastiIIes, and Burnt Al.

Sugar Plums, PastiIles, and Burnt Al
monds Date Back to III B. c.
The most popular and most ancient
of bonbons are sugar plums, pastilles
and burnt almonds, but how many
persons know their history? Sugar
plurls date from Roman times, for
the Romans were the first to think Of
covering almonds with layers of sugar
The inventor was a certain julius
Dragatus, noted confectioner, who
belonged to the illustrious patrician
family of Fabius. He made this great
discovery, which has wrought so much
damage to our teeth for twenty CEN
turles, in the year III B. c.
These bonbons, called dragati, afte-
their inventor tdragees in FRENCH. re-
mained the exclusive privilege of the
FAMILY of Fabius. But at the birth or
the marriage of one Of that family a
great distribution of dragati took
place as sign of rejoicing. This GUS
tom is still observed by many of the
nobility of Europe.
The pastille is of far later origin
having been invented and introduced
into France by an Italian confectioner,
the Florentine John Pastilla a pro-
tege of the Medicis. When Marie de
Medici married Henry ". of France
Pastilla accompanied his sovereign to
the French court, where his bonbons
had tremendous vogue. Everybody
wanted the F'lorentine's pastilles, and,
strange to say, they were perfection
from the beginning. He made them
with all kinds of favors-chocolat
coffee, rose, violet, mint, wine, straw
berry raspberry, vanilla, heliotrope,
carnationl
Burnt almonds are purely of French
origin, owing their inception to the
gluttony of certain French merchant
One day Marshal -Pralin, an
old gourmet, sent for Lassagne, his
chief confectioner, and promised him
great price for some new sweet that
would please his palate, dulled as it
was by all the pleasures of the table.
Lassagne. who had already invented
many toothsome dainty, was a man
OF resource. He searched, he reflected,
he combined. until finally he conceiv-
ed a delicious bonbon, which he bap-
tized gloriously with the name Of his
master, Praline, the French for burnt
almond.
This is the history of the invention
Of bonbons, for all others are mere
combinations or developments of these
three-the sugar plum, the pastille and
the burnt almond.-New York Herald

The Plan OF Double Crops,

When one has large garden it will
save much hand labor to have the
vegetables in rows, which will admit
of working among snem with the horse
and horse hoe. But there are those
who have to be economical of space,
and find the problem to be, how can
we grow as many varieties as we want.
in quantities sufficient for family use?
Here is opportunity for little plan
ming. We have seen tomato plants
set between or in the rows of early
peas so that they occupied the ground
when the pea vines came off. We
have seen lettuce growing between
rows of beans, and removed before
the beans are picked. IT is common
thing to grow from three to five rows
of onions or early beets between two
rows of the large late celery, and
squashes or pumpkins in the corn or
potato field are often productive with.
out seeming to reduce tho yield of the
main crop. Tomatoes staked or
trained to trellis require much less
room than when allowed to sprawl
about, and appear to yield album
dantly if on the south side of fence
or wall.
In short, there are many of these
methods tried by those who economize
land, and some of them claim to save
labor by it, tor although they must
be all worked clean by hand labor,
they think it does not cost more than
horse labor would if the crops covered
as much more ground as they would
in rows three feet apart. Where
squashes are grown in hills eight feet
apart there is much ground to work
over for the one crop, and often other
crops are grown between the rows.
The method of double cropping re.
quires heavy manuring, but where it
is systematically done they strive to
put the manure and labor required for
two acres under the spread-out plan
into one acre, and strive to grow on
that one acre as much as others would
grow upon two acres. Certainly, the
second crop does not draw any more
fertility from tie soil, OF rob the first
crop of manure or moisture needed
for its growth, any more than the crop
of weeds that we too often see in some
gardens, while it looks much better
and seems to be more profitable. Try
this plan in your little garden. AAmeri-
can Cultivator.

A Collection of Tunin q Forks.

Collectors have all sorts of fads, but
one of the queerest to the average
man was that of the late Governor
Fuller, Of Vermont. His hobby was
tuning forks, and when he died he
left a collection of 307 of these musi-
cnl guides to an organ company, of
which he was the Vice President. In
the lot is the fork used by John
Shore, who in 1711 invented the first
tuning fork, though this bit of sing.
ing steel is not warranted to be the
first bit of his handiwork. There is
one that is said to have been used
by Handel when he conducted his
oratorio, '"The Messiah" in 1851,
and which was for mary years in the
possession of Richard Clark, @ famous
musical collector of England There
is also the delicate little fork used by
Nine. Patti in her 1882 concert tour
OF this country, and host of those
used by manufacturers before the
adoption of the international pitch in
1892. The biggest of the lot is one
about two feet in length, which gives
forth deep, soporous sound, corre-
spending to one OF the lowest notes OF

Experiments with Grapes.

In my experiments with grapes,
have adopted new system of training,
or, rather, have utilized a very old
italian method. This is to grow the
end of the vine to stake and then cut
back to three or four buds in the fall
of the first year. Again, in the fall
of the second year. L cut back to five
feet, or perhaps six feet, according to
variety. The following spring I rub
off all the buds except five or six at
the top, and, ever after, cut back all
the canes at the top to three or four
buds.
This cutting back every year will
soon form head that will furnish all
the canes necessary for all the fruit
the vine ought to carry. This method,
when well established, gives the vine
the appearance of weeping willow.
1t has many advantages over other
methods, among which are the follow
ing: 1t makes pruning very simple;
the fruit is grown where the sap pres.
sure is the greatest, which occurs at
the top, hence we secure better and
larger fruit; the fruit is more easily
gathered and less subject to damage
from wind storms, because the canes
which hang down on the windward
side form buffer that protects the
other side, and hence more vines can
be planted on the same ground.
Some growers may think that such
training as is outlined above would
not furnish as much fruit; but, in my
experience, it will enable as much
fruit to grow as any vine ought to
carry if expected to ripen we'll. Last
fall 1 gathered twenty pounds of
grares from a four-year- old vine. An
other advantage of this method of
trainingI might mention is that, in
few years, the main stock will have
become so strong that it will support
itself, and such vines are much more
conveniently sprayed IN. B. White,
