Nearly killed by Her Comb.

Mrs. Noah Brown, residing on Col
Grain avenue, met with peculiar acct
dent the other day. Mrs. Brown was
waiting on her husband, who was in
bed suffering with a sprained ankle.
She had occasion to stoop down in
front Of an open crate fire, and as she
did so celluloid comb worn in her
hair exploded with sufficient force to
throw her to the floor some distance
away. Following the explosion, the
comb ignited
Most of Mrs. Browns hair was burn
ed off, her eyebrows and lashes were
scorched, and she was severely burned
about the face and neck. Considerable
effort was required to prevent the car
pets and other furnishings from catch
ing fire, as it was found impossible to
extinguish the blazing comb after it
had been pulled from her hair. The ex-
plosion was accompanied by report
similar to that Of a blank cartridge dis
charged in a pistol and was heard by
several people, Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune.

A Bargain Victim.

She was shopping with her husband
and was looking for bargains. Here is
how she got one:
II don't want quite so much as there
is in that piece" she said to the sales
woman, who held up piece of dress
goods. II require only 21a yards
''But that piece is 27s yards, and
couldn't cut 21A yards off" explained
( the young woman behind the counter.
But don't want so much" protested
the customer.
well, am sure cannot cut il" re-
peated the saleswoman.
But can't you call it remnant?" per-
sisted the woman who wanted the goods.
mo; it isn't remnant, madam" calm
ly replied the young woman.
''Well, shall not buy it." said the Gus
toner determinedly. II don't propose to
pay for more than want unless you
make it an object"
SWELL, I'll call it 2A yards said the
saleswoman as the customer started to
move away.
''All right: I'll take it!' exclaimed the
customer without hesitation as she glanc-
ed at her husband in satisfied way. The
mans admiration for his wife's victory
was expressed in his face.-New York

Winter Food For Bees.

Thirty pounds Of good sealed honey
is sufficient to winter a colony Of bees,
and If the bees are well protected in
winter this amount Of honey will car
ry them through until the next crop OF
new honey comes. Bees do not con-
sumo much honey during the winter
months proper, but in late. winter and
early spring they use it more literally,
for at this time they begin to rear
brood, SO, as the saying goes. ut takes
more honey to spring bees than it does
to winter them" GRADUATED sugar is
considered good food for bees to win
ter on and is equal to the best honey.
Dark sugars and sirups are not and
should not be fed to bees during the
fall months unless all is taken up and
consumed in brood rearing. In feeding
sugar thus water enough should be
added and the whole thoroughly heat
ed to perfectly liquefy it, and when
prepared it should be about the con-
sistency Of thin molasses. If too much
water is added, it costs the bees more
time and labor in condensing it, and it
will not be so quickly sealed up and SO
thoroughly ripened. Hence for winter
stores but little water may be added,
and the sirup given them with q
heavier body will produce best results.

Wear an. Opal Heart.

The 3'hoodoo'' has been taken from
the opal! Until very lately it was con-
sidered unlucky to own or wear opals
unless they CHANGED to be the wearer's
birthstone, and then they were looked
upon as lucky talismans, bringing good
luck and happiness to the possessor.
The old adage has it that the opal is
a wiseacre with regard to the health Of
the wearer. If in i'll health, the gem
will become pale and dim; if in good
health, it's colors will be flashing and
brilliant. Opals were supposed to
bring bad luck, disaster and illness to
the person wearing them, and for q
long time they were tabOoed.
But all this is changed now, like the
peacock feather and the Boston bean.
The opal is now cut in the form of a
heart and in this shape given to sweet
hearts as an emblem of enduring affec-
ton. Far from being considered an
evil omen, it is, with its flashing of
rainbow hues, looked upon as type
Of happiness and luck.

The Ouch ess, Children,

There is exhibited in the drawing
room Of Blenheim the wonderful
golden cradle in which each firstborn
son of the house Of. Marlborough is
rocked during his infancy. In this
cradle, which is perhaps the most beau

world, the present little Marquis of
Blandford was placed on his christen-
ing day, when he had been given the
name Of John Albert Edward William

Edward, for the Prince of Wales, one
Of his godfathers, and William, for his
grandfather and godfather, William
X. Vanderbilt. The two children are
closely guarded in the nursery, which
consists of the most charming suit of
rooms in the palace. When they go
out in the blue and white perambu-
lators for exercise, they are wheeled
about in what is known as the kitchen
gardens, which are not open to tourists
for inspection. On, other days they are
wheeled about where their nurses will

weed Destruction.

How to keep. the farm clear Of weeds
is question which every farmer
should study well. i would recommend
rotation farming to keep the weeds
down and to grow good crops. For in
stance, IL the cornfield has become SO
weedy that it is hard to keep it clean
SOW to oats. barley or rye for two
years, then seed to clover. Now the
clover two years, then pillow in the fall
for corn, and you will have a clean
field again. Harrow the ground well
before and after planting up to the
time the corn comes up. Fence your
farm in six or seven fields, and this
rotation will clean each field in turn,
and your land will be improved all the
while. Now the fence rows before
weeds 60 to seed. Keep moving
weeds, and You will be surprised to
see the crops improve. Glover is the
best weed destroyer, because It enrich

The Corn Crop.

While the corn crop Of 1899 promises
to be one Of the four largest corn crops
ever raised it's excess above the aver
age is by no means equally distributed
among the corn growing states. OF
the six states whose crops will each
exceed 1OO.OOO.OOO bushels, Indiana,
Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska report
a yield in excess of their ten year av-
erages, Missouri falls three bushels per
acre below such average, while Iowa
reports about an average yield. The
reports from II southern states indi-
cate production of $1,000. 900 bushels
less than last year, and just as an ex-
ceptionally large production in these
states last year appreciably increased
the average for the country as a
whole, so the present decline has per-
ceptibly reduced it--Crop Circular.

Very Ornate Buckles.

The buckles that are used now dis
play a wonderful amount Of Workman
ship. They are used in hats and on
waists of dresses and also with belts.
In the hats the gold, the rhinestones
and the cut steel and jet are the best.
The handsomest that are used on the
gowns are made of q combination Of
silver and gold or-say it sub rosa of
imitation metal. They are in open
work design and are rounded so as not
to interfere with the size OF the waist
Indeed the idea is that they make the
waist look smaller, for they are put
just at the back and reach from side to
side. Then the same sort of buckle is
worn in front, leaving only a small
on the fur or velvet short coats are Of
ten made large enough to quite cover
the back Of the waist-that is, the back
Of the belt. Then with the front of the
jacket hanging straight down it can
easily be understood that very slen-
der effect is given to the figure, and
some Of the best dressmakepS claim
that even a stout woman can wear this
style of buckle, for it will make her
look more slender, In the meantime
every gown that is made up has the
narrowest possible belt, and many of
the cloth gowns have the skirts to put
on over the waist, the band finished
with the narrowest possible stitched
band of the same cloth. This certainly
makes the waist longer and is more
becoming to the figure.

is visited on each Saturday afternoon,
and the leader describes what took
place at this spot years ago.
The out of town localities are visited
early in the season, while the weather

thoroughly good one, and no doubt
rare good times await the band OF

ment, Independence hall, Christ

er points Of historic interest near by
it will take quite long time to ex-
haust the list Of historic places to be
visited. Children enjoy going about in
party, and the time so spent may be
most usefully employed. Even if it
is not possible for the children to join
large party much may be done by
individual effort in this direction.

MlLLET IN THE WEST.
When and where It II Useful-Good

When and Where II II Useful-Good
/ For New Lands and Weed killing.
L Over much OF the west millet is re-.
ceivfng considerable attention. Though,
It will never take the place Of corn and
small grains, yet there are times and
places where it may be profitably
grown. It is seryiceable on weedy land
in driving out the weeds, and it Is
equally serviceable on new land In
breaking up the top layer of soil that
Is frequently found packed almost as
hard as what we call hard pan" The
root system Of the millet lies near the
surface, but ramifies to such an extent
that it renders the soil more permeable
and more friable. Land that is broken
for the first time is seldom in condition
to use the first year for most Of our
farm crops, but it may be rolled to,
break the clods and sown to millets,
merely putting on the millet broadcast.
1t will sometimes be found advanta-
geous to scatter the seed before rolling.
The crop will not be indeed very even
or the ground very level, but the soil
will be in better shape for the next
years operations \.
In this country millet should not be,
made a principal crop, but should come
in to supplement other crops or to fill
gap in the rotation. Where a man.
Insists on following the old system Of
summer following the land may be.
covered with millet to advantage. The
millet will prove good for the soil or
for pasturage, and to a lesser extent
as a winter feed. AS pasturage no.
fault has been found with millet, and
when it is kept in 4 succulent state in
the silo it proves to be seryiceable feed
If it is sown after the corn crop is in,
it will then have time to grow enough
to reach stage where it is either mil
let pasturage or good for the silo.
When it is desirable to put in millet
as catch crop in the late summer or
early fall, it can be sown on the stub
BILE without blowing. This will save q
great deal Of work at a time Of the
year when the farm force is otherwise.
engaged. If the soil be fairly rich. the
millet will take root at once and grow.
rapidly. 1t should be always remem-
bered that millet is a surface feeder,
and any manure applied should be on
Dr. near the surface 1t is, therefore,
hot good crop to sow with the expec-
tation of bringing up the fertility from
the subsoil. concludes Farm, Field and
