BRAVE YOUNG WOMAN.
She Got Away with the Oysters hut
Not in the Usual Man
ner.

A young girl from the state of Washing
ton who came east to visit a western SEN
ator's family last winter, had an experience
she hasn't forgotten yet. The first few DAYS
of her stay in the capital were spent there,
and her meals were sent to her room. On
the very first evening she ordered oysters
for dinner. Now, she knew nothing of a
real, llfe-szed oyster, having spent all her
days on the Pacific coast, where oysters are
not oysters at all, but something altogether
different. She was young and exceedingly
inexperienced, and she said to the waiter:
Bring me so oysters.
The waiter gasped.
els that all?" he said.
ooh, no, she answered, cheerfully. "Brin
Newell, dinner, too
She says herself that she had to shut her
eyelids tight 10 keep her eyes from pop
ping clear out of her head when she saw the
so oysters.
Isn't that more than 50?'' she asked
mo, miss" answered the waiter. shall
was the grin that did it. Her western
blood rose at it.
NO" she said, coolly. Its not too
many. I'm hungry"
She locked The door after the astonished
waiter, and opened the window. Ii was a
dark night, but she could see the roofs OF
the adjoining houses almost within arms
reach beneath her window. Only narrow
alley separated the buildings. She took a
fork, and deity and dexterousy, one by
one, she flung the oysters as far as she could
She could hear them fall MOSTLY, softly, fab,
billy upon the roof opposite. When the
waiter returned, two oysters lay on her
plate. His eyes rolled wonderingly at her
''Was-was the oysters good2" he asked
and he did not grin.
Fairly good, she made answer, calmly;
.but | wasn't really hungry, after all. -

Peculiar English Custom.

The most of the English usages some
of us copy, and the rest of us can get
used to, but there is feature of for
NAL dining there which is different.
There are no general introductions at
an English dinner, or even at house
party in the country. If all the guests
are acquainted there is no need to in
trduce them, but if they are strangers
they must remain so, or trust to chance
or personal magnetism for making ac-
quaintanceships. Every man is intro
duced at dinner party to the lady he
is to escort to the table. There it stops.
1t is a custom which has some close re-
lation TO the experience of an ancient
race through many centuries. / leave
the reader to analyze it.-Harper's Mag
azine.

BEEKEEPING DON'TS.

Don't tinker at your bees every day.
Don't allow any colonies to run short
of feed.
Don't raise herd of careless drones
to eat up the profit.
Don't expect the supply dealer to fill
all orders in one day.
Don't tear open the brood nest unless
there is a real necessity.
Don't put off making or buying hives
until the swarms hang out.
Don't encourage swarming unless
you can sell bees at a profit.
Don't expect anything from weak
colonies with poor old queens.
Don't expect each colony you have
to give you 200 per cent. profit.
Don't wait until the honey flow is on
you before ordering surplus supplies.
Don't think black daubed sections of
honey will bring as much as lily white.
Don't think good extracted honey
can be produced for much less than
comb.
Don't spread the brood nest in the
spring by inserting combs or frames
of foundation.
Don't invest big money in new fan
gled traps to catch moths or keep them
out of the hive.
Don't think bees will do Just as well
in an old key or box behind the garden
in weeds ten feet high as your neigh
boris kept spick and span.--American

Preserving eggs by Lining.

Lining eggs is both practical and
simple way of preserving them, and we
don't know of a better, unless you keep
them in a cold-storage house at tenn
perature always above freezing-say
80 degrees to 40 degrees when they
will keep six months with safety. There
are many formulas for making the lime
solution. One of the best plans is pack
ing in jars. Care should be taken to Sc
lect receptacle from which the eggs
can draw nothing; hence glass jars or
stone crooks are preferable. Six gallon
glass jars will hold 90 dozen eggs.
Slack about peck of lime; to this add
six pailfuls of water and three quarts of
salt. This should all be dissolved, and
when settled is fit to use. Pour the
thin limewater into the jars, cover
them with cloth. and on this spread a
coating of the thicker limewater. The
solution must stand in the jars so as to
cover the eggs. A peck of lime will be
enough to preserve about 100 dozen
eggs.-Rural World.

open and shut them according as you
wish the corn dropped. BY wheeling
this barrow along in your marked field
it can be easily adjusted to drop the
corn just as you may wish it.
For filling the pan, bore two-inch
hole (c) in the board wheel and have a
cork, or, better, have a swing slide Id,
held on by screw, as seen in illus
tration.
The corn may be covered with har-
row across the rows, but it is better to
use Planet junior cultivator having
the roller attachment and follow the
rows. Take the two oblong teeth and
turn them to throw the dirt inward, and
the roller coming along behind flattens
the earth down upon the corn.
A mistake is sometimes made in al
lowing the machine to drop too much
corn. To avoid this, count the number
of kernels dropped the first three or
four feet when beginning new field.
This machine is great labor saver in
planting for silo or other use, and is a
good working machine.-Orange Judd
Farmer.

LOVES REORGANIZATION.


Dear heart, did we meet long ago.
And walk and talk together then?
/ think It must have happened so;
If so, wonder where or when.
Oft when you blush and smile for me,
When your eyes droop before my gaze,
For one swift breath seem TO see
Some dim, sweet scene from other days.
A CLEAN of gold from that stray tress
OF hair on which the sun has shone,
A loving touch soft caress,
Or in your voice some minor tone,
Brings to me, like the faint clear chime
OF silver bells on summer air.
The 7mory of a bygone time,
OF and loving otherwhere.
/ kno- that have loved you, dear,
Fer since I first began to be;
MY heart had missed you many year,
Until at last you came to me;
And then knew that had met
The one sought, and by your side
I stay, with nothing to regret.
Because my soul is satisfied.

panion.
