There Were Morse Things.

An instance Of the sort OF things
one might wish to have expressed diff
ferently: A doctor had written a note
to the lady; and on his next visit she
asked him 70 tell her what two words
in it were, as she had been unable to
decipher them. 1T has been said Of
me that my writing Is the worst thing
about me-" said the physician, laugh
ingly, as be surveyed his own scrawl
with doubt. "Oh, but I'm sure that
is not So" was the hasty disclaimer.
"Fa- from il, doctor,-far from it!''

Round Wood For Ashes.

Wood ashes make one of the best of
all fertilizers. No farmer ever has
enough Of them. The chief depend
ence for a supply is from the home fire
places in winter. Most farmers burn
wood, and split wood forms the bulk
OF the winters fuel. Bat split wood
does not make as much ash as small
round sticks, that have the bark on
them. Bark yields more ash than
wood. Vile says, if heart wood yields
three per cent, bark will produce
seven per cent, and leaves fourteen
per cent, bybulk and weight. II one
wants all the ashes he can get from
the fireplaces, let him burn small
wood that hos the most bark upon it.

ing, such as are common all through
the East. The Filipino custom OF
wearing a white shirt with long and
dowing tails is in favor among the
poorer natives.
One of the first things evident to us
is the decided antipathy of the natives
for the Filipinos. There are few OF them
upon the island, and these are not at
all regarded with favor. In truth,
they seem TO be quite IA urruly here
as they are in their home, and their
qualities make them about the only
disturbing element IN this peaceful,
woll.disposed people. The only pris-

How Buds Are Injured .

Fruit buds Of all kinds are more
liable 10 be injured by sudden changes
than by severer weather provided 1t
comes on and disappears gradually.
The explanation seems TO be that IN
freezing, the sap leaves the cells and
is CONCEALED in the interspsces. II
warm weather follows quickly. this
sap ferments and the blossoms are in
iured and in many cases killed. If
the warming up is gradual the cells
take back the sap, fermentation does
not take place and no bad results fol-
