READ FROM THE OUTSIDE.
What Letters Sometimes Reveal to the Sharp Eyed Postman Who
 Deliver Them.

Did it ever occur to you how much more than the mere addresses on the letters he delivers the postman reads how much of the seamy side of life he sees? The postman in our district, now, for example. There is, he says, snug little house just round the corner where young girl answers his ring. A year ago last summer when he rang one morning an elderly woman opened the door. Next day, and irregularly twice or thrice a week for the next two months, letters came to the young girls mother addressed in a sprawling, girl ish hand, and postmarked with the name of a Pennsylvania mountain resort. Then, one morning, the young girl her self opened the door again, and looked disappointed when an advertising cir cular was all she received. The next morning, however, she dimpled and blushed when she saw her own name on an envelope which bore on one corner the name of a business firm. There were two stamps, and the pOstmark was Pittsburgh. Every day after that a similar letter came, and at Christmas there was small box that came reg istered. At Easter there was another box, and on a day in May-her birth
 day, perhaPs-another. All this time the letters came every day. Last July two days passed without letter. Then the same writing appeared on an en- velope with the name of an Atlantic City hotel cn it. The girl went away to the springs again in August. Two Atlantic City letters arrived during her six weeks absence. One came with the Pittsburgh postmarl1 the day after she returned. Then for month no letter came. She opened the door eagerly every time the postman rang, and some times her liz quivered'a a little when there was no letter for her. The Pitts burgh postmark on letter came then, a thin letter. And just the day before Thanksgiving the postman handed her a thick, creamy, large envelope, ad- dressed in q strange hand. The post
 mark was Pittsburgh. Ii looked like wedding cards. Perhaps it was. The postman couldn't read what the en- veIope contained, of course, but he thought he read something in the girls face. He's an imaginative fellow, our pOstman, and it seemed cruel to him that the large envelope with the we'd ding cards should come just the day be- fore Thanksgiving Washington Post.

THE WOOLLY-APHIS.
Different Modes of Killing This Very
 Destructive Insect.

Different Modes Of killing This Very
 Destructive Insect.
 The Missouri experiment station has made extensive experiments with diff ferent methods of killing the woolly- aphis or apple-root plant louse. Follow ing is a summary of the discoveries made:
 The limb form of this insect can be readily killed by one or two thorough sprayings with strong kerosene emul- sion. Apple seedlings, buds and grafts should be planted in a sma!: trench filled with finely powdered tobacco or tobacco dust and lightly covered with earth. This will keep the woolly -aphis away. Apple nursery stock should have a liberal supply of tobacco dust applied to the roots every spring in order to kill the ,voolly-aphis and prevent it from es- tablishing itself there. It should be ap piled by removing some of the earth from around the roots. filling the cx- cavation with tobacco dust, and lightly covering it with earth. Newly cleared timber land should be cultivated in corn or other crop for two years before the apple trees are set out, in order to kill the wOoIly-aphis that may be on the roots of the wild crab and allied trees. Apple nursery stock should have the roots cleaned and dipped for q minute in strong kerosene emulsion, in order to kill the woolly-aphis that may be there. In planting apple trees tobacco dust should be freely used among and over all the roots, and close around the trunk, in order to kill and prevent the woolly- aphis from establishing itself there. Every spring, as soon as settled warm weather appears. each tree should have

particle of ear wax from the inner DOT tion of the ear, and to accomplish this to her own satisfaction will sometimes even use a hairpin, covered with the towel, or the towel itself twisted to a point.
 The treatment is not only altogether too harsh, but it is unnecessary and harmful to remove all the wax. The membrane lining the canal of the ear contains great number of little glands which secrete this waXy substance, and the purpose of this is to prevent the en- trance of insects and keep the inner ear clean. The layers of wax dry in scales. which rapidly fall away. and remove with them any particle of dust or other foreign matter which may have found entrance to the ear.
 Be contented when you have made the child's ear clean outside ard thor oughly dry and leave nature to attend tc her affairs in her own way. In ease of earache, nothing mere irritat- ing than a few drops of olive oil, warmed to a temperature of blood heat. should ever be placed in the ear. Nine-tenths of the earache of childhood and large
  due to adenoid growths in the throat, which may be removed when one is young by a very slight operation.
 Not a little danger IS Occasioned by children snuffng up accidentally. or otherwise, articles into the nose, where they get lodged and refuse to move one way or the other. The great danger is Of the article remaining there so long before it is removed as to cause swell ing and inflamma tion. The following will be found very simple method of removing the article: Place Il thin cloth over the child's mouth, and, with your fingers, close the nostril not con taining the article. Next. put your mouth clCse to the chiIds and give two or three strong puffs, and III nine cases out of ten the substance will fly out.-Cincinnat Commercial Tribune.

the holes for the stakes (using the same aUger), putting one on a side, 7 feet high on one side and feet on the other, in order to give it sufficient
 pitch. For stays to nail around the top
 of the stakes 1 used 1x4 pine, which I procured by ripping an old board fence in two, putting a sufficient number on top to support the canvas.
 For $f.50 I bought enough old sail cloth to cover the entire shanty. The bottom of the silIs on each end should be beveled, so as to prevent dirt from
 ctogging in front while it is being drawn. If properly made the entire weight should not exceed 250 pounds. One horse easily draws mine back and forth through my patch. l hitch to either end, using log chain attached to the corners. If the cheap canvas is not easily procurable, half-inch siding could be used for the roof and old blankets for sides. The entire cost is small, and it is much more convenient than one made of old boards and sta tionary. Much time is saved in carry ing berries. I often move mine twice day, keeping it directly opposite the pickers.-Rural New Yorker. ez

a liberal supply of tobacco dust applied to its roots by removing the earth from around the trunk for q distance of two feet and four inches in depth, evenly filling this with the tobacco dust and covering it with earth. The root form of the wooHy-aphis may be cheaply and easily killed and kept away from an apple tree by the liberal use of tobacco dust. About five or six pounds of this substance should be applied as above di- rected to the roots of every infested tree, and half this amount should be applied in a similar manner each succeeding spring, costing approximately two cents per tree per year. This insect may also be killed by injecting one fluid ounce of carbon bisulphide two feet away from the trunk on two sides of the tree, but the use of this substance is not advised except in extreme cases, since a little carelessness may irjure the tree, and it is always necessary immediately to treat the trees with tobacco dust in order to keep the insect away-Coun- trV Gentleman

TO MAKE A HEDGE QUICKLY.

quickly growing vines are planted, which soon cover the wire with mass of green that becomes more ard more dense and beautiful each succeeding year if the proper sort of vines is used. The proper sort,'' in the writer's estimation, would include our common woodbine. It is a quick grower and it's foliage is remarkably handsome, both in the green state and when touched by autumn frcsts. There are many other vines, however, that would answer admirably for this purpose, so that all tastes can be suited. Such Q hedge needs only such annual clippings as will suffice to keep the vines growing evenly all over the wire-as thicllly in one place as in aa- other Cedar stakes should be used and carefully set in making such hedge, since once made and covered with black growth of vines, it will be inconyenient to make inferior re- pairs, though stakes can, of course, be driven down through the netting if necessary.-W Donnell, in American GardeninT

IN VERY BAD TASTE.
canada's Postage Stamp Is Criti-
 cised Severely.
Imperia1fsts in the Dominion as Well in England Object to the VaingIoriOus Motto on MT.
 MulOck's Creation.

William Mulock, Canada's postmas- ter general, has brought much unfavor- able criticism upon his head on account of the remarkable design which he se- 1ected for the Canadian imperial penny stamp, which first came into official use on Christmas day. The tory or anti Laurier press of the dominion refers to the stamp as Willie Mulock's Christ mas card," and gets its cue from the fact that the word Xmas" and year "1s98" are found directly under map showing the British empire in bright red-appearing in black on the accompanying picture of the stamp.
 But it is not in Canada alone that ob- iections 10 the stamp are heard. The news that the words: ''We hold a vaster empire than has been," also ap- pear at the bottom of Postmaster Gen eral Mulock's artistic gem has travelled to England, with the result that inn perialists there are chorusing their ob- iections to the imperial-minded states mans idea of what a colonial postage stamp should contain in the form of sentiment.
 The motto chosen by MT. Mulock: 'We hold a vaster empire than has been," is from the jubilee ode of Sir Lewis Morris, entitled a ''Song of Elm pire.' with the. date, June 20, 1897, as a subtitle, indicating it's tone and purpose. An excerpt from the last stanza, from which the motto was taken, is as fol- lows:
 We love not war, but only peace, Yet never shall our England's power de-
 crease! Whoever guides our helm of state, Let all men know it, England shall be
 great!
 We hold a vaster empire than has been. Nigh half the race of man is subject to our
 queenl
 Nigh half the wide, wide earth is ours in

 And where her rule ccmes all are free. And therefore 'tis, O, queen, that we, Knit fast in bonds of temperate liberty, Rejoice to-day, and make our solemn ju-

forensic talents from his father. Sam uel Hoar, who was one of the great law yers of Massachusetts contemporary with Choate, Mason and Webster. The family is one of the oldest in Massachu- setts and came originally, with the earliest colonists, from Gloucester shire, England. The present senator was graduated from Harvard in 1S46. He chose the law for his profession and rose very rapidly. He made his polit- ical debut in 1849 and at that time identified himself with the free soilers. His has been a familiar figure in repub- lican national conventions since 1876, and he has been a United States sen ator since 1877. His term will not eN- pire until 1901 and it is doubtful if he will be replaced while he lives. That he is yet capable of genuine eloquence was manifested by one sentence in his remarkable speech: "When you raise the zfag over the Philippine islands as an emblem of dominion and acquisi- ton you take it down from Independ- cnce hall" Senator Hoar has been prominently identified with the associ- ations of Harvard university. He first appeared in his capacity of legislator in Washington as a member of the house of representatives in the Forty first congress

Gasoline, It Is Claimed, Will Accom- pIish Wonders.
 A most excellent insectitide is gaso- line. The housewife can easily rid her carpets of moths and fleas by it's use. For such purpose take common water ing pot with a fine rose, and having raised the windows and opened the doors of the room so the fumes may readily pass out, for they are explosive, sprinkle copiously around the margin of the carpets and then more lightly over the whole. Every insect and every egg of an insect that is touched will be destroyed as if by fire.
 In the garden it is no less useful. Perhaps the best way to apply to plants standing in the ground is with brush, an old paint brush answers the purpose we'll. Take any convenient dish or pot and fill two-thirds with water and the balance with gasoline. The water will retard evaporation and assist in spread ing the gasoline to every infected DOT ton when the brush is applied. Most kinds of scale are killed effectually with enc application.

Every portion will be touched with the gaso- line, and it will do it's perfect work I have not tried it on tender plants, and should hesitate to do so till a trial should be first made on leaf or two, as test.
 I save my seed peas from the weevil by first letting them get dry, when they are put into a convenient dish, GOV cred with water into which has been poured q little gasoline, say a cupful to halfapecI. The peas are then thorough ly stirred for some minutes, when they are drained off and put away. A sec ond application is rarely necessary. In this case the gasoline has to penetrate the peas and kill the eggs of the weevil, and it does it most effectually.-Am can Gardening.
