GRAPE CULTURE.

Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
Is there not plenty of land in st.
Tammany Parish where the exortic
grapes Gun be grown successfully? If
so, why do not those possessing such
land grow them and supply the north
ern markets with them, and not let
California have all the benefits. The
freight from the latter costs so much.
I should think it would pay you st.
Tammany men to grow them. AS to
our native variety there is no excuse,
for New York aud Ohio are supplying
the West with grapes when one can
raise them SO easily here. COT course
they ripen later up North, and come
when most of ours are gone, but we
have late varieties that we can have up
to Christmas if properly treated.
The grape ranFs among the most
valuable of fruits. 1t comes so quickly
into bearing, it is SO hearty, vigorous
and productive, requires such small
amount of space, and is so easily cared
for that no one should ever be de-
MED the luxury of an abundance Of
grapes.
That these advantages in culture are
equalled by the merit of the grape as
food has been fully demonstrated.
This is:not only generally admitted but
oui most eminent psychologists also
assert that among all the fruits that
are conducive to regularity, health and
vigor in the human system, the grape
stands pre-eminent. As to profit it is
sufficient to state that grapes are u
sure crop, and that the yield, from two
to six tons per acre, to enable one to
see that even at low prices they pay
we'll.
The soil for grapes should be dry and
rich. The cultivation should be shall
low, so as not to disturb the small
roots near the surface, which is the
key of success in grape culture.

kept in captivity these figures would
not seriously affect anybody but
the owner WHO was called upon to
feed them. But should they escape

or BE- turoed loose the result would
seriously affect the entire commu'
nifty. How serious this would De
may be gathered from the expert

to interfere with stockraising and
agricultural operations. A wat OF

plague continued. They were sbo''
trapped, hunted with fe're''' po's-

WAS one of drouth. Lakes ana

The Dream of the Kew,

Some small article had been LOST
forget now what, let us say key-bc-
longing to one of two sisters who were
travelling together. 1t could nowhere
be found. But one night one of the Sis
tors dreamed that she saw the key in
the pocket OF her travelling bag. She
told this dream ON waking to the other.
"And have you looked In the pocket"
the sister asked. mo, have not"
said she, 'fcr the very good reason that
there Is no pocket in my travelling
bag" "Well," said the other, there is
Il pocket in mine. l will just have a
look there on the chance" And there
the key was found.
The Inference is that the dreamer
had seen with the eye of sense, though
not with the eye az observation. the
key put into the pocket. Even when tho
key was so found she had no recollec.
ton of seeing 1t placed there. but the
brain had unconsciously recorded the
sensation. In course Of sleep it had
stumbled on that record. and by good
luck the sleeper OH awaking CHANGED
to remember the mental operation that
had taken place during sleep. 1t is q
singular and almost alarming reflection
that our brains are stored with count
less such records of which we know
nothing. nor ever shall know unless the
association OF ideas or some peculiar
mental state brings them to our notice.

In a village not fax from Bobrova. n
town near Moscow. several robbers,
knowing the proprietor to be absent.
broke into his house. of which the sole
occupant was his mother. 20 years old.
They asked her where the money
was kept. to which she replied that
her son had taken it with him. al
though she was at the moment seated
on chest containing the money.
The robbers beat and kicked her,
knocking out her teeth and breaking
her nose, yet she steadily maintained
that there was no money In the house.
They had just started peeling off her
skin with a knife and prieking her
with an awl when the bells Of q wng-

fed. From that wagon lcapcd the old

on these words and said them in a
quiet, unconcerncd tone of voice. the

the open window. scrambled up to the
turf roof of the house, from which he
could see the potato field. He then.
not seeing the COW there. ran and Look

finding that all was right, came back
to the house.
After 4 short time the shepherd said
the same words again. and the dog re-

dog got up and, wagging his tail. Look

exceptionally cold. and the tug was
stuck in the Ice half q mile from the
knoll. porr left the boat and started
over the ice.
When he reached the lighthouse. he
was warmly greeted. Come in the

One was fat and black. with wonder.

Kept the Bonnet Company.

The story Of an elderly couple who
lived In n Massachusetts town nearly
SO years ago is told by some of the old

The lady had been bereft of one help

twice been left widower before the
pair were united In the bonds OF mat

be characterized as set"
On the wedding day the bride found
In the back entry, on conspicuous
nail. sunbonnet which had belonged
to her immediate predecessor. She re.
moved it to oblivion In q closet.
Her newly welded husband made no
comment, but replaced the sunbonnet
on its accustomed nail
During the next few days the calico
headgear vibrated with more or less
regularity between the closet and the
nail Then there came day when the
bride approached her husband with q
mans hat in her hand as he was in the
act Of reinstalllng the sunbonnet.
"If you have that sunbonnet there"
she said firmly. 81 shall hang up my
first husbands hat on the next NALL"
She looked at the bridegroom and
met the counterpart of her own ex.
preston. She hung the hat on the des-
ignated nail. and. although the two
people lived to be very old. neither the
hat nor the sunbonnet ever moved
again till the house came into tile
hands of new owner.-Youth's Com

peanut planters test their seeds every
