Summer Treatmen Of Aspara. \.

Summer treatment is an important
part of asparagus culture. After hav-
ing finished planting, if the weather
is very dry, give good watering or
two, and in May and June, when You
NOW the lawn, spread portions of the
grass between the ridges, 50 as to fill
the hollow spaces nearly level. The
object of this application, which must
be renewed once month or oftener,
all through the summer, will at once
be evident. It is for the retention of
moisture and the production OF vegeta-
Bile food. The. slight fermentation
that accompanies the decomposition
of the grass greatly accelerates the
growth of the asparagus. After the
shoots have begun to come up, look
regularly and carefully to the thin
ming. When plants have grown two
or more heads each, the weakest
should be regularly cut away, so that
at the end of the first season not more
than two or at most three shoots are
left to grow to maturity on each plant.
Proper attention to the thinning of
asparagus during the first and second
years. and afterward in cutting for
use, is of the very greatest importance
toward the future welfare of the plant.
I spoiled nice bed by simply cutting
the largest stalks. The weakest were
thus left, with the inevitable result
that our supply of asparagus the next
year was of much smaller stalks, and
it will. take much time and attention
to bring that bed back to its former
excellence.-The Epitomist.

Skirts for Summer Wear.

Women who have delighted in the
t:ght-ftting skirts, with no fullness In
either the back or the front, may as
well make up their minds at once to
be sadly disappointed in the most ultra
summer modes. For the tight-ftting
skirt Is no longer deemed elegant.
Yokes, shirred, tucked and. shocked,
are the limited effect Of tightness. In
fact, even when yoke Is used It Of
ten runs only to the back, or rather
sides of the back, where gathers are
introduced. Skirts are very full and
long at the hem and are not tied back.
10 keep them down firmly weights are
sewed in the foundation. One model
shows fullness at each side Of mar
row front breadth. Some Of the skirts
are shirred down In point, others are
shirred only twice straight around.
Most Of the skirts are gored, but there
are skirts made Of straight widths,
shirred and tucked into the waist line.
A skirt stitched in small tucks all
around the upper portion, except d.
rectly In front, is modish. A skirt
with a yoke, possibly Of lace, Is gath
cred quite full all around, while a
similar model is laid in shallow plaits
about the front and gathered in the
back. Cloth skirts are made quite
plain III the front, but all Of the latest
models have some fullness In the back,
and they are not confined in any one
plait, but several in quite broad ef-
feet. Many of the thin skirts are so
full that they suggest hoops. Thin
fabrics are shirred about the hips or
tucked. A charming model Is lined in
inch tucks at the front and back,
which run to the line Of the knee,
where they fly out and mufle about
the feet In the backs are gathers.
Some Of the importers suggest that
before the summer has gone ruf1ed
and frilled skirts will be in vogue.

Chicken Roup.

Roup often causes very sore
mouth and gattling in the throat,
which is a consequence of canker in
the windpipe. Wash mouth and nos
trils with weak soda water, quite
warm. Take wing feather, and with
it wipe out the split in the roof of the
mouth; then dust with burnt alum and
borax. Leave it q minute or so, and
then wipe out as dry as possible; then
apply the following mixture: One part
turpentine, one part sweet oil and one
third part iodine. Shake we'll before
using. Drop this into the nostrils
twice day until the fowl is better,
then once daily for few days. AS
soon as the eyes begin to swell, paint
the head with iodine, but do not get
any into the eyes. If the eyes are the
only parts affected, just drop little Of
the mixture into the nostrils.
It is very necessary to good, sound
food. Do not feed corn to roupy hens,
but give wheat, oats and vegetables
cooked and thickened with wheat bran
until quite dry. Salt the feed as you
do your own. See that the poultry
house is clean and dry. Keep the
fowls in during wet weather. :.
To prevent the spread of the dis
ease, take shoyelful o. live Goals to
the poultry house when the fowls are
on the roost, pour on some tar, and
hold the shovel we'll under the perches
for quite while. Do this on three
successive evenings, and again smoke
for three more evenings Be sure to
give clean water to drink.

An Unbrokeu Rule.

'Look at that bicycle, Exclaimed the
woman as she identified it in the cloak
room aud saw that it had been knocked
about badly.
"Yes'm. I've been looking at it,"
was the humble reply of the official.
"It's all smashed to pieces"
"Yes'm."
"And it was done on this line
"Yes'm."
"Well, what do you propose to do
about it?"
"Ilfreport it to the foreman, ma'am,
and he'll report it to the station mas
ter, and the station master to the
general manager, and the general
manager to the board of directors,
and some day, three or four years
hence, lawyer will call on you and
want to know why you didn't travel
with your bicycle in a properly made
case. That's our routine, ma'am, and
we never deviate-not even when the
guards forget to leave US a piece of
the machine"

An Earthauake.

Yokohama and the neighboring To
kio are said to have about fifty earth
quake shocks a year. Most Of them
are insignificant. but now and then
comes one of different sort. In 1891
the Japan Mail described the e1pe-
rience of man who had witnessed the
terrible earthquake at Gifu.
He had just finished dressing when
the first shock came. he crawled and
dragged himself out of the house, for
to walk was all but impossible. The
next moment, so highly strung were
his nerves, he burst into laughter at
seeing the remarkable way In which a
girl was moving down the garden
path, stepping high in the air, as 1t
seemed.
Then, looking over his shoulder, he
saw a great and ancient temple, which
he had been admiring the previous
day, leap into the air and fall in dread
full ruin.
Looking again to his front he saw
the whole town in an instant swept
away before his eyes, and out Of the
great cloud of dust came screaming,
gesticulating, wildly frantic crowd OF
men, women and children, rushing
hither and thither, they knew not
where, for refuge from the great de-
struction which had come upon them.

The Irishlnan.

The Irishman is more citizen Of
the world than the Englishman. The
former is sensitive, imaginative, mac
curate, light-hearted and verbose. The
Anglo-Saxon is staid, solid, silent,
with freezing manner that stings
rather than chills the expansive Celtic
nature. Few Englishmen have any
conception how repulsively offensive
they can make themselves to the
Latin, Celtic and Teuton races by
their stony stare. The iusularity of
England has been one of the chief
sources of her safe'y-like the skin
of an armadillo-but as the British
grenadier wears upon his head bear
skin hat to make him look more for
midable than he is by nature, 50 the
average English official in Ireland
there are, of course, some excellent
exceptions-adopts as his official man
ner an air of periority and conde-
scension which is the raw material of
revolution. White, in Har-
per's Weekly.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT,

Happiness does not depend on
money, but it certainly prospers on it.
An sir of superiority and condescen-
sion is the raw material of revolution.
When clock or o conscience is audi
BILE at midnight there is something
wrong.
Where there is emulation, there will
be vanity; where there is vanity there
will be folly.
In the darkest hour Hope used to
strike a match, but now it presses the
electric button.
Occupation is one great source of
enjoyment. No man, property occa-
pied, was ever miserable.
Envy is a passion so full of coward
ice and shame, that nobody ever had
the confidence to own it.
There is no dispute managed with
out a passion, and yet there Is scarce
q dispute worth passion.
Failure to the man who learns,
means experience, and experience is
equipment, and equipment is wealth.
He is incapable of a truly good
action who finds not a pleasure in con-
templating the good actions of others.
Nothing is so wretched or foolish
as to anticipate mlsfortunes. What
madness it is to be expecting evil
before it comes.
Amiable people, though often snb-
iect to imposition in their contact with
the world. yet radiate so much of sun
shine that they are reflected in all
appreciative hearts.

A JAPANESE CHARACTER.
The Crafty Jinriklsha-man tho Bane and
Blessing or Travellers.

The Crafty Jinriklsha.man tho Bane and
Blessing or Travellers.
Onoto Watanna, the gifted Japan
ese writer, writing of 'The Horseless
Carriage of Japan" in The Woman's
Home Companion, gives this descrip-
tion of the most picturesque laborer
of her native land: '"rhe jinrikisha-
man waits at the street corners and
solicits fares, though this is contrary
to the exact police regulations How
over, the jinrikisha man is not always
as principled as he might be, and has
little, if any, regard for the police or
his regulations He has no compunc-
tion whatever in overcharging the
scale of fares set by the police, but as
a rule the customer himself pays but
little attention to this. The fac is
usually higgled over before riding,
and while they Falk, and sometimes
great distances are covered before
terms have been reached. The jim
rikisha-man also generally unlawful
ly) demands drink.money, especially
when he is forced to wait at tea-houses
or pleasure resorts on the road. He
is constantly being set on by the
police for charging more than agreed
on. threatening to put down female
customers unless his demands are ac-
ceded to. A woman hiring a vehicle,
for instance, may sometimes find her
self within impossible walking dis
tancs of any town or point, and q
surly man demanding extra fare or
threatening to dump her. Counter
threats do not affect him. Better pay
and be done with it. However, when
you have melted his heart with hand
full of sen he becomes friend worth
having. It is true he may spot you
as one whom it is worth his while to
keep in touch with during your visit in
the city, and you will find it difficult to
leave your hotel without encountering
him hard by, approximately soliciting
your patronage, though on each and
every occasion he will call to you as
though you were an utter stranger to
him and he has never seen you before,
or does not appear to recognize you as
the person who tipped him so we'll the
previous day."
