house when he finds the plants frozen,
aud he plants rhododendrons and SIM
liar plants where the sun does not
strike them in frosty weather, if he
should have any choice in the selection
Of site. In the extra cold region Of
the Northwest the advanced gardener
shades the trunks of his trees by plac-
ing boards fastened together like tree
boxes, up against them. And thus the
trees escape sunscald arising from
being under the sunlight, and similar
troubles.
Surely orange growers in Florida
might profit by this experience Of their
Northern brethren. 1t would not be
a very expensive thing to make an ar
Dor or lath over an orange grove, the
lath being an inch or so apart. With
such partial shade the plants would
probably endure ten or twelve spas
modic degrees Of frost without injury,
and the shade in summer would doubt
less be all the better for the trees, at
least the trunks Of the trees might be
boxed, and even filled with earth, if
the weight could be supported. If the
tops should suffer from frost, the
strong trunks would sooner recover
than when the whole tree was killed
to the ground.-Meehans Monthly.

Frost.s Action Upon the Soil.

The frost is one Of the agents Of the
farmer for pulverizing the soil. Every
clod or lump in field is detriment
according to it's size, as the finer the
soil the greater ifa feeding capacity
Of the plants and the easier the roots
can penetrate. AS heat expands and
cold contracts ell Jumps, it is for the
frost 10 break down all the coarse por-
tions, which work cannot be done with
any implement. When piece Of land
is we'll drained the frost goes deeper,
apd when the land is plowed in the
fall and subsoiled the frost prepares
it for the spring plowing by going
down deep and tearing all coarse por
ti0nS apart by expansion.

catch up both lace and tails on the
more elaborate garments.
Though some wide, old-time collar

mostly to standing collars. The very
latest shape consists of double cape

Remedies For Lice.

Unsalted lard or butter will kill lice
on chickens, but must be used with
care. A very small portion under the
wings is all that is necessary. More
may be used around the head, for the
head lice are more hurtful. Coal oil
is also sure death to every louise, but
if used too freely will blister and take
the feathers off. Equal parts Of to-
bacco, raisins and lard. STEPPED to-

ointment for killing lice.

"OLO MAIDS CONVENTION" :"
a Home Talent Entertainment Which
Proved Very Successful.

IToNtu very SuccessIul.
The town hall was crowded last Fri
day evening when the curtain went up
on "The Old Maids Convention" The
entertainment was one of the most
laughter provoking affairs of the kind
given in the village for a long time.
Mrs. McGilton, under whose direction
it was prepared and staged, had given
much time and effort to the work, and
brought 1t to a very successful issue.
TO Mrs. w. w. Eaton is due the
credit of the business management.
The play-if play 1t can be caled-lends
itself admirably to the bringing out of
variety of talent and "specialties, and
every character was well chosen, both in
the first and the second parts. The title
tells just what the entertainment was,
but no amount of descriptive writing can
give an adequate idea of the ridiculous
costumes (ridculous now-once the very
height of fashion y worn by the sold
maids, nor how we'll the diversified
characters represented were carried out.
The ladies who represented the old
maids were as heretofore named in the
BEGIsTER, Mrs. Dickens acting as presi-
dent of the convention and Mrs. d. G.
| Noble as secretary. After the convention
had progressed TO the "new business"
point, singing (N. speech-makng and

with laughter. "Prof. Makeover," in the
person of william Jackson, was an
nOunced and explained his wonderful
machine, which could make over any
thing living into any desired form The

"renew their youth" and one by one

bard appeared as the made-over strong
minded "Jerusha Matilda Spriggins."
Little Carrie ButtOlph's singing delighted
the audience, and called for an encore.
She acted with n self-possession wholly
charming. One of the "Praddler girls"
took her dog with her, and the poor
animal came out in series of "links."
The denouement of the final act was in
the clogging and breaking of the machine
while 1t was at work on one of the old
maids who had stretched the truth be-
yond the endurance of the machine in
giving her age. Where every character
in the entertainment was a "star" it is
difficult TO pirticuarize in this space,
but Mr.. jackson, in his acting and the
ingenuity he showed in the making of
the machine should have special me ntion.
The society cleared SSl % by the enter
tainment.
