care of Holmes's stock, and Mr..

wives reyelled to their hearts content

the two families were able to get word

the mutual evacuation of each others
premises and meeting at Hydeville
on the way. Both parties were in
vited to dine Mt Jason Soper's that
memorable day, and the reader may be
sure it was not one of those dinner par
ties that languish for lack of conver-

were crazy for Cousin Maria's modern

somethlnE About Rubber Plants

A teaspoonful of olive oil, poured
upon tho soil of rubber plants, near
the stalk, about once month, is au
excellent tonic. Washing the leaves
with milk will keep them dark and
glossy; and if there is suspicion
that worms nre destroying the roots,
dissolve tablespoonful of mustard in
little water and pour it upon the
soil. If worms are there, they will
Immediately appear. The mustard
acts like fire, burning the worms skin
the instant it touches it.
A friend thus elutes her first expe-
rience with the mustard bath: "My
rubber plant had been hourishing for
several years, when all at once it cnnie
to standstill. was told that prob
ably unseen enemies were at work
upon it, and I was advised to give it
o dose of strong mustard water. 1
was not prepared for immediate re-
suits; and when several worms, almost
large enough to be called snakes, came
kissing up through the earth, I started
back in alright. But after these mon
sters we're disposed of, l had no more
trouble with my rubber plant. -

Gold. renId and Hot Enlhs.

Tt is interesting just now to know
how to keep warm, and who should
advise if not the physicians? How
ever, as every ono takes the advice
that suits him, it is well to have va
riety on hand. A recent number of o
medical paper ofers sufficient latitude
for choice.
One physician recommends warm
water sponging, then cold water
rubbing, then the wearing of porous
linen undergarments. Another advises
less frequent bathing, and emphasizes
the importance of pure woolen under
wear. A third objects to cold baths
and hot baths equally, preferring q
slightly more than tepid degree, and
advocates mixture of cotton and
wool in undergarments. Still another
prefers linen mesh underwear, while n
confrero thinks heavy cotton the
proper material.

nloced in a heap, covered with straw

placed in heap, covered with straw
and then enough earth is put on them
to prevent freezing in the severest
winter weather. This is q great mis-
take, and many pits are lost because
of this over -prote:tion. 1t is very
desirable to avoid storing large guam
titles of roots in the cellars of dwell
ing houses. Consequently where no
separate storage place Is available,
pitting outside is the best plan.
Gather the roots after they have
been dug and sufficient time has
elapsed to allow them to dry off.
Place in oblong heaps in high spot
in the field 80 that good drainage is
possible, cover with straw and few
inches of earth so that moderate frost
and the slight freeze of early wintor
will not injnre the roots, dig trench
around the base of the pit so that
water will not stand. Where the
water rises near the surface during the
wet period, it is best to place the roots
on the top of the ground.as suggested
above. However, if there is good
drainage there is no reason why m
excavation cannot be made six feet
wide and about foot deep and as
long as necessary. Begin by carefully
stacking the roots, filling the first two
feet of the trench. This will form the
first section, leave space OF about
six inches, then put in another Sec
ton, aud so OH. Round up the top.
fill the six inches of space between
the heaps with straw and cover the
whole with straw and Is or more
inches of soil.
This plan requires much less work
in covering and is in reality series
of small pits each distinct. The tubers
keep better in this way, and as only
one section Mt time need be opened
there is less liability to waste than if
the pit were large one containing
the entire crop. In some sections OF
the country the covering or soil must
be two or three feet deep to prevent

1 believe that exclusive chaff pack
ing directly over bees will admit of
too much ventilation, and more
especially so if limited amount is
used, which is usually the case.
Twelve inches OF very fine chaff thor
oughly placed and weighted down,
with the entrance of hive left open.
will still admit of too much draft
through the hives with the usual coY-
ering on them.
II have come to the conclusion that
SO much top dressing in the way of
chah cushions, etc. and leaving large
entrance open to its full capacity, is
about on the same principle as that of
trying to keep sitting room COM
Portable with the outside door
open. We know that bees keep in
good condition in q hive or anywhere
else. A two-story hive that contains
half bushel of bees, and is full of
honey in the hottest part of the sea-
son, can get along and do business
with very small entrance, perhaps
no larger than will admit of half
dozen bees at once. Ii this be the
case, and I think no one will sny it is
not, than how much of an entrance
does hive require in winter, with
one-fourth the amount of bees, and o
set OF combs containing only twenty
five or thirty pounds of honey, to give
them all necessary en'ilation re-
quired? In answer to h 1 will say
that no entrance whatever is required
when the bees are not flying, and in
addition, the top of the hive should be
air tight as the bees make it by gluing
up all the cracks, and also coating the
cloth covered surface entirely as they
do.
Il do not say that bees do notreauire
alarge entrance in summer, for am
abeliever in very large entrance in
summer, and especially so during the
honey season when colonies are
strong. But in winter I have thor
oughly experimental with all the diff
ferent plans, and the last one referred

Insane seamau's Guuuery.

A remarkable scene was recently
witnessed on board the battleship De-
vastation at Malta. About 10 o'clock
on that night the inhabitants, as well
as the officers and men Of the ships in
harbor, were startled by the firing of
two guns within about minute Of
each other. The unusual circumstance
led to immediate inquiries being made,
and it was. found that young seaman
who had only recently joined the De-
vastatlon from the cruiser Venus had
developed symptoms OF insanity, and,
forcing open the 6-pounder magazine,
possessed himself Of two charges,
which, fortunately, proved,to be blank
ones, made his way TO the deck and
fired charge from one Of the g.
FOUNDER guns on the port side Of the
ship. He then loaded the gun second
time and discharged it just as several
officers and men rushed up and seized
him. 1t was at once seen that he was
suffering from mental arrangement,
and the medical officer Of the ship
ordered his removal to the Royal Naval
Hospital, where he remains under
treatment. That the poor fellow only
succeeded in removing blank charges
from the magazine was an exceedingly
fortunate circumstance, for it so hap
pened that the gun from which lie
fired them was trained directly on the
cruiser Venus, while number Of
houses on shore were in the imme-
diate background. Had the charges,
therefore, been full instead Of blank,
it is easy to imagine that an appalling
disaster might have had to be record
