A XeSl Idea.

fhe ~innkeepers in the countries on
the Rhine follow n practice which is
worth limiting to persons Of the same
profession in this country. They give
their guests a carte, or piece of paper
measuring about 16 inches long and
four inches broad, and which folds tc-
gcther like a small map. This carte,
when folded, exhibits on the outside
a view of the hotel, also its name, and
the name of the keeper; on expanding
II we find that the other parts consist
Of lists of the principal curiosities or
public buildings which are worth Wis
iting in the town and its environs; and
along the whole inside we find a map
OF the chief routes from the place.
Thus, the German hotel-keeper's carte
is a card of his house and a local guide,
all in one bit of paper, the expense of
which cannot be much. greater than
that OF a common bill of fare.-N. Y.

The Latest Riding Habit,

Riding habits are made according to
whether they are TO be worn in the
country or city. The chief difference is
the HIT, the silk title" being used for
city riding. The new jackets f.. riding
are r:de as three-buttoa cutaways, tts
tails being only long enough to reach
to the saddle. With this jacket, which
is in reality a coat, is worn a w~aistcoat,
which must, to be thoroughlyin fashion,
display the hunting pink. The waist
coats are made this season Of a heavy-
wooden stuff, a kind of tricot cloth.
which is OF a somewhat mixed weave
and shows the hunting pink in decided
thread and lines. 4 standing collar has
the De Joinville tie. Green is still the
popular color for a riding habit, though
other colors are worn.-Boston Herald.

A House Twelve Centurte. Old.

TO the American mind there is some
thing fairly awe-inspiring in the
thought of a house which has been ten
anted, without a break, for 1900 years.
Yet there is such a house near ST. Al
bans. England, and it was built in 79s
by King Offa of Merc;a. Originally
erected as a fishing pavilion for the
monks of the adjoining monastery of
81. Adams. it is now an inn; and if one
may judge from the immensely thick
foundations Of flint and Roman brick
and the perfect preservation of the up
per part of the little house. it may last
several centuries longer. 1t is in a
church of st. Adams that the great
Francis Bacon, baron Of Verulam, lies
buried.-Banner of Gold.

The Queens own Bread,

Queen Victoria, while by no means
addicted to %epicurean tastes. has va
rious little fancies i'll the matter of
diet. Some years ago a Turin speciality
OF ordinary bread, called grissini, came
under the queens notice during one of
her visits abroad, and she found it so
nutritious and p%alatable that she gave
orders for a constant supply to be sent
for the royal table. The news of the
queens latest fancy speedily became
known, and tie result was that a special
establishment for the making Of girls
sini bread was started in London, and
from it a daily supply is forwarded to
the particular place where the court is

Profit from Small Farms.

Small farms can be made to com.
bine many advantages. Some poul.
trymen grow plums in the poultry
yards, and also keep bees. Others
grow early vegetables under glass, and
also grow two or three crops in the
open ground. One gardener near Phil.
adelphia makes a large profit on fou,
acres. on which he grows only lima
beans. Another makes peas a spe-
cialtv. following the peas with late
cabbage. To attempt to farm four
acres in the usual way, with Wheat,
corn. oats, etc, would cause bank.
ruptcy. The crops that pay best are
those that require the most hand la

THINNING OUT FRUITS.
Really Satisfactory Results Are
to BE Obtained.

The average farmer pays little Or
no attention to thinning fruit. If the
tree is overloaded, SO that the limbs
bend almost to the breaking point,
come will set props under the limbs
to keep them from breaking entirely
down. while others more careless will
let the limbs break off. They may
complain of the size and quality of
the fruit when it is harvested, but
few think it necessary or will take
the trouble to thin out in good sea-
son, and thereby not only save the
trees. but secure fruit of a much bet
ter quality. In nearly all cases a
tree making a thrifty growth will, if
left unmolested, set more fruit than
under ordinary conditions it should
be allowed to mature. In fact, one
cause, though no the only one, OF
trees failing to bear is on count OF
being allowed to overbear IL year,
lowering the vitality to such an ex-
tent that the tree is incapable OF
bearing the mex year.
Thinning can be done to an advan-
tdSt "hSIC vi SooA "6> o"e
quality is desired. But if anything
like satisfactory results are secured
it must be done in good season. rea-
sonably soon after the fruit sets.
The larger the fruit is allowed to
become before thinning the greater
the drain upon the tree and the less
good will result.
1t of course seems troublesome to
go to fruit trees and take off from
one-fourth to one-half the specimens,
selecting those that are too close to-
sether and hat are the least promis-
ing. yet when there is a full crop and
uniform choice fruit is desired, thin
ming becomes necessary. And when
it is to be lone advantage should be
taken of the first favorable opportun-
ity for doing the work. Peaches. pears
and grapes especially can be thinned

apples also.-N. j. Shepherd. in Farm
