What the Eve Tells.

Eyes are very treacherous. and those
who meddle in amorous matters should
know all about them.
When the upper lid covers half or
more of the pupil, the indication is of
cool deliberation. An eye the upper
lid of which passes horizontally across
the pupil indicates mental ability. Un-
steady eyes, rapidly jerking from side
to side. are frequently indicative of an
unsettled mind. 1t Is said that the
prevailing color of eyes among the pa
tients of lunat:c aSylums are brown
and black. Eyes of any color with
weak brOwS and long. concave laShes
are Indicative of weak constitution.
Eyes that are wide apart are said to
indicate great intelligence and tena-
cious memory. Eyes of which the
whole iris is visible belong to erratic
persons. even with tendency toward
insanity. Wide open. staring eyes in
weak cOuntenances indicate jealousy,
bigotry, Intolerance and pertinacity
without firmness.

Resnectfu1Iy Referred.

AS The Green Bag has it, Chief JUS
tice Marshall used to narrate with
great glee the following correspond
ence on a point of honor between Gov
ernor Giles of Virginia and Patrick
Henry. The governor wrote:
sir-I understand that you have called me a
bobtail politician. l wish to know If it be true,
and, If true, your meaning. w. X. GILES
Patrick Henry's reply came promptly:
sir-I do not recollect calling you bobtail
politician at any time, but think it probable that
have. can't say what did mean, but II you
will tell me what you think meant will say
whether you are correct or not. Very respect
fully, PATRICK HENRY.
This was leaving 1t to Giles with a
vengeance; but, as there was no fur
ther correspondence, the governor of
Virginia must have read satisfaction
somewhere between the lines of Pat
rick Henry's brilliantly equivocal re-
ply.

XYnY to Moral Strength.

We can learn to live nobly only by
acting nobly on every occasion. If
you shirk the first trial of your man
hood, you will go so much weaker. to
the second, and if the next occasion
and the next find you unprepared you
will unquestionably sink into baseness.

the tide only by frequently breasting

THE MAIDEN OF THE SMILE.

In that fair land where slope and plain 4
Shine back to sun and sky
And olives shield the sprouting grain
When wintry arrows fly,
Where snow fed streams seek sun warmed
vale,
Through vineyard scarped defile,
The world we enter with wall
She greeted with a smile.
Slumbering, she smiled and, smiling, woke,
And when she felt the smart
OF grave, sad life smiles still bespoke
Her tenderness Of heart,
And nightly when she knelt and prayed
Beside her snow white bed
Her face was one pure smile that made
A heaven about her head.
When love first trenbled in her ear
The heart throbs that beguile,
She listened with asserting tear,
Then chased it with a smile.
Sorrow and pain with smiles she bore
Unto her latest breath,
But the sweetest smile she ever wore
Was the smile she wore in death.

SOWING LIME AND SULPHUR WITH SEED.
growers in certain sections where smut
prevails cater to markets demanding
small, cooking onions; hence increased
sine would not be an advantage and
the cost and labor of transplanting
seem too great.
1t has been proved that equal parts
OF air slaked lime and sulphur ap-
piled In the drill with the onion seed
is very effective against the smut. For
FIVE seasons the Geneva (N. " station
has tested this treatment and has
pFoved that the sulphur and lime must
be brought into close contact with the
little plants In the soil, that it IS not
sufficient to distribute the chemicals
over the soil, but they must be put In
tire row where the seeds are sown.
An attachment was designed for the
regular onion drill, which, by means of
extra boxes, agitators and distributing
tubes, sowed the lime and sulphur
with the seed
A machine OF this kind could easily
be made which would apply the sui
phur and lime with but little more la
Dor than ordinarily required to SOW the
seed. The cost of the sulphur and lime
i- about 50 per acre. One hundred
pounds OF sulphur thoroughly uaixo'
with so pounds of air slaked lime per
acre has given best results.

slavery protected the Negro.

II the negro had been forced to COM
pete for existence In America, he would
have been crushed out by the civilized
power, as the Indian has been, says
Albert Phelps In The Atlantic, but the
peculiar institution Of slavery protect.
ed him not only from this competition,
but also, by artificial means. from those
great forces OF nature which inevitably
weed out the weaker organisms and
which operate most unrestrainedly up,
on the ignorant savage. For the first
time. perhaps, In the history OF the
world human beings had been bred and
regulated like valuable stock, with as
much care as is put upon the best
horses and cattle. AS natural conse-
quence the sanitary condition Of the
negro during slavery was remarkable,
especially by contrast with his present
condition. and his growth was the abr
normal growth of a plant abpormauY
raised In hothouse. When, therefore,
this mass OF helpless beings was
thrown upon its own resources by the
act of emancipation and when the pro-
lection OF slavery had been withdrawn,
the direst wretchedness and suffering
followed.

How 1t Has Been Prevented-A Sim
pie and Profitable Way.
The onion smut enters the tiny seed
ungs only and has no power to pierce
tive onion stem or leaves after the lat
ter have emerged from the soil. The
spores from which the smrt grows lie
In the soil, but germinate when In con-
tact with the little Seeding and soon
fill the tissues of the growing plant
with n network of threads. The leaves
become deformed, twisted and marked
by dark streaks and finally break open,
discharging the spores of the fungus
to reinfect the soil for succeeding
crops.
AS many of the spores hold over
from year TO year, the soil gradually
becomes so filed with them that hard
ly an onion seeding can grow without
Gaming in contact with some of the
spores and being attacked by the fun
Cse In this way many onion fields be-
come so infected that profitable crops
can no longer be grown.
Transplanting-tha is, growing the
little seedlings In boxes or plats Of un-
infected soil and setting them out IN
the fields after they have passed the
age Mt which the fungus can gain en-
trauce-is n perfect preventive so far
as the disease Is concerned. But the

QUEEN ELIzABETH's FAULTS
She Was Very Vain and InordinateIy
Fond of Fino Dress.

EOuu OA 0Eem1s
Yet Elizabeth was never really sue
cessful with her wardrobe as a more
feminine woman might have been. Her
dresses were never beautiful, only lu-
dicrously and most inappropriately
magnificent-laden with jewels, weight
ed down with cloth of gold, stir with
silver embroidery and so heavy that
even her big, powerful frame must,
without supporting vanity, have felt
the fatigue Of carrying them about.
Elizabeth was certainly vain, but she
cannot claim femininity merely on that
account, for vanity is by no means an
exclusively feminine characteristic
There are perhaps more vain women
than vain men because women have
more leisure and their costumes afford
greater opportunities for vanity than
the strangely hideous clothing which,
custom has arranged for men, but no
thoughtful (feminine) observer can
doubt that vain man is yainer than o
vain woman.
Elizabeth's hands were her especial
pride, and, judging from her portraits,
they were certainly beautiful. They
were laden with jewels, and 1t was her
habit In public to pull her rings or
with absent artlessness and push them
on again, moving those white hands
about in the most obvious way. Once,
during the grave consideration OF q
state paper, wherein her cold sagacity
never took second place, she interrupts
ed the discussion to ask whether the
Due dAnjou, who was at one time one
Of her suitors, had been told what
pretty foot she had and how white and
well rounded was her arm? This In
the woman who financed the armada
with hard headed economy, who dared
the superstitious terrors of her own
conscience In her high handed and I'M
pudent treatment Of the bishop, whose
interest in methods of torture for state
prisoners was most mechanical and In
telllgent, entirely unhampered by any
squeamish feminine hesitation as to
blood or pain. Is most curious.
In connection with this last charac-
teristic OF cruelty vanity is not at all
unprecedented. Indeed, If one observe
closely one will notice that excessively
vain persons have almost always o
strange inclination toward cruelty,
The accounts Of what Queen Elizabeth
permitted and indeed commanded In
this respect viii hardly bear reading
by us sensitive folk today.-Margaret
Deland in Harper's Bazaar. -

storms very little OF the fruit which re-
mains on the tree after the June drop"
will fall Off 1t then follows that n is
only a question between picking the
fruit off in June and throwing it on the
ground and picking II off a little later
and putting II in basket.
~ the fruitis thinned to from four TO
six inches apart, 1t will be better than
If it is closer 1t is common expert
ence that trees so thinned will actually
produce greater bulk of fruit than un-
thinned trees, and the fruit from such
trees Is practically all first grade. Even
II the bulk Of fruit Is somewhat less
than from unthinned trees the amount
of high grade fruit is sufficient to COM
mend the operation.
The fruit may be thinned considera-
bly, by keeping the tops properly prun-
ed, but much of 1t must be done by
hand. In this way the imperfect fruit
can be removed, leaving only that
which is likely to develop into the best
specimens. This method will greatly
lessen the work of grading the fruit
when 1t is marketed
AS rule growers experience consid-
erable difficulty in getting their men to
thin their fruit sufficiently, but it is i'm
portant that the matter be followed up
closaly.-H Z. Gould, Maryland.
