Bring the Ends rogether.

A certain colonel somewhere in the
south (no matter where) was in the
habit of telling yarns and greatly ex-
aggerating He had a negro servant
who corroborated everything his mas
ter told. One day the colonel had
some gentlemen to dinner. and they
were enjoying some fine venison very
much. The colonel said: yes. | went
hunting the other day and saw a fine
buck. took good sight at him and
shot him through the head, and the
bullet went through his hind leg"
The gentlemen looked at each other
little mystified. The negro scratched
his head and at last said. Yes. indeed
gemmen; just as massa raised the gun
to shoot de buck he raise his hind leg
and scratch his ear, and the bullet
went through the head and right
through de hind leg" The gentlemen
looked more satisfied.
After the guests had gone the negro
said to his master. CORY mighty. mas
sa next time you tell one Of dem yarns
do get the ends closter togedder
had hard work to make both ends
meet."-New Orleans Times Democrat

FIRE PLACE FERNER1ES.
Hearth Gardens That Preserve & De-
1ightful Temperature and Are
an Aid to Beauty.

OF a number of excellent plans for
screening or decorating fireplace
none is more sensible or ornamental
than that of turning it into q sort of
ternery. Ferns, ivy. swamp lilies, peri
wrinkles and two or three varieties of
oriental iris love to root in cool, dark,
mist places, and properly drained anil
planted, fireplace garden can be made
just as attractive as one in window.
One woman, whose cottage drawing
room is provided with very old-fash-
Toned square brick fireplace, in which
the antique crane still swings, and
above which the narrow mantel shelf
is set very high, resorted to very SIM
pie measures for identifying it during
the summer. She bought three copper
pots, such as the florists hang in their
windows full of flowers. These she had
filled with earth, and planted with
green things that love the shade, and
stringing hem along the crane, she
effectively screened the smoke-black-
ened cavern where the flames had
leaped all winter.
Many of her friends have since had
polished steel cranes fixed in their
modern ireplaces, and on these they
have hung brass kettles and bowls, and
one went so far as to have her bric-a-
brac dealer hunt up for her true old

IVY AWNING SCREENS.

fashioned three-legged iron crane pot.
Another resourceful housekeeper
who has had large experience with
house plants found last winter that
English ivy would grow gratefully if
allowed vase of fresh water every
day in which to keep it's green toes
moist. With the coming of spring she
dared not plant her ivy out of doors,
knowing it could not withstand the
whitening heat of our climate. Ac-
cordingly she bought two green boxes,
made of small green tiles, filled them
with rich earth and larger portion
of sand, and, taking two well-grown ivy
sprays from the water, she planted
them on either side of her plain hearth
Two more sprays she put in boxes and
put them on either end of the black
marble mantel shelf.
The ivy has already grown up and
down, and promises to throw a rich
green veil over the whole fireplace,
frame the mirror above it and do away
with bric-a-brac at that point. As hers
is city house, where, on her husbands
account, she spends the major portion
of every summer, she finds the curtain
of green most delightful and refresh
ing ornament.
The florists, who are always quick
to accept good ideas, have come to
realization of the fact that something
is needed for fireplace decoration in
summer. Accordingly the fireplace
screen has been introduced. In the
leaves of the screen the ribbons and
tendrils of iron form a series of brack-
cts, into which large and small green
tile pots fit. In the pots all manner of
trailing green things are rooted, and
their garlands and long tendrils, weav-
ing as they grow through the wrought
iron fret work, form a delicate and ef-
fectual screen for the whole hearth.
By another equally pleasing arrange
ment the florist will measure fire.

THE GIRL WE ADMIRE.
Gift of Smiling Away the
Troubles of Life.

' The most lovable girls in the world
are those with sunny disposition. A
few people like the quiet, thoughtful
girl; others like the girl who is per-
petually vivacious and bubbling over
with spirits. But every one likes the
girl with the cheerful, sunny DISPOSE
ton. Girls of this character are never
extravagantly boisterous or dismally
quiet; they have pleasant smile for
every one. They never seem troubled
or worried, their voice is low and
musical, and their smile-be they pref
ty or not-is always sweet.
The only trouble that the sunny
tempered girl has is the outcome of her
popularity. Every one wants to talk
to her, and be in her company. Young
men are attracted to her without ef-
fort on her part, for her character
shows itself so plainly in her actions
that young men are so delighted at
the cheeriness and sympathy of her
nature that they are drawn to her at
once.
For every reason, then, the girl with
the sunny disposition, who smiles away
the troubles of life, is favorite. And,
what is more, old people are just as
charmed by her as are those of about
her own age.-N. Y. Weekly.

PREPARE FOR DROUGHT.
Many Seasons That begin with CO.
Dious Downpours Of Rain End
In Dry Spells.

A look ahead is worth more than
dozen glances behind, unless the
latter are used to draw lesson
from. After the drought it is poor
consolation to say that if we had
done SO and SO the crops would have
been saved. It is better to be pre-
pared for drought early in the
season, and to-: do this is simply to
give the crops the cultivation they
actually need. First we should do
our blowing as early as possible, and
then the harrow and cultivator
should follow the plow at regular in
tervals. By giving early and deep
and continued cultivation we accu-
mulate moisture in the soil SO that
we have surplus to withstand any
ordinary droughts. But to retain a
surplus of moisture the soil must
be in a finely pulverized condition.
Lumpy and cloddy soil soon parts
with moisture, either through soak
ing down into the subsoil or being
carried away by the winds and sun.
Deep blowing is necessary at first,
but surface cultivation thereafter is
best. The few inches of topsoil that
is finely pulverized may then dry
out by the hot weather and winds,
but the roots of the plants will find
moist subsoil which they can
run down to. This is beneficial to
the plants because it strengthens
their power of resistance to drought
and makes them sturdier and more
vigorous growers. Surface feeding
plants are always the first to sue
cumb to drought.
One should use the roller more
freely on soils to store up moisture
against drought. This is particular.
ly true on very light, loose soils
where the capillary openings are al
ways SO large that water passes toe
readily Upward and downward. The
roller congresses this soil and
makes it firmer, so the movement OF
the water is slower. Rapid move.
ment of the water in the sell, either
upward or downward, is to lie avoid
ed. The soil that holds it and re.
fuses to part with it is what we
need. We can get such mechanical
conditions in almost any soil if we
pillow, harrow, cultivate and roll
properly. Such preparations against
drought are the best that can be
done, for if the dry spell does not
appear the plants will be benefited
by the cultivation to such an extent
as to pay for all the trouble.-W. E.
Farmer, in Boston Budget.

Mr.. Moore has obviated all this trou-
BILE by the use of common one-quar-
ter-inch carriage bolt, and the door
is opened and closed with ease, no mat
ter what the weather may be. The
entrance hole to the coop should be
circular and about ten inches across,
while the door must be about one inch
larger, with one side pear shape, in
which to bore the hole for the bolt on
which the door is hung.
The door rests on a cleat, the up
per side of which just fits the side of
the door. Mr.. Moore has used these
doors double on some of his coops,
one inside. the other out, thus giving
greater protection to the inmates, es-
pecially in the fall and winter months.
In freezing weather the outside door
might stick to the cleat, but this. trou-
BILE can be avoided by driving two
single nails or screws on each side of
the cleat for the door to rest on. To
insure the easy working of the door
it would be we'll to put washer be-
tween it and the side of the coop, which
will prevent binding during a rain
storm.-American Agriculturist,

In addition to the large volume of
political literature sent out by indi-
vldual senator's and Representatives,
the two campaign committees will
distribute this year millions of doc
uments. In the presidential cam
palgn of 1896 the republican commit
tee sent out 22,oOO,0Oo documents. No
such number will be distributed this
year, but the total will probably
reach several millions, and the dem

The average citizen does not realize
what a vast amount of educational
effort proceeds from the capital ev-
cry two years.
Nearly every member of congress
has one or more speeches delivered
by him in the, house and senate,
which he desires to distribute among
his constituents. They may be re-
marks upon the great questions Of
the day or merely a spread upon
some local subject, but the congress-
man does not think that he has done
his duty unless he plasters his, dis

"Oman's Lot in JaDan.

According to western ideas the mar.
ried woman in Japan is not to be
envied. A Japanese girls marriage
dowry consists of nothing beyond her
dresses. a little writing desk, box OF
cosmetics and other toilet necessar-
les; a couple of little dining tables
and few lacquer plates. Japanese
women do not inherit fortunes, and
in families where there is no son one
is adopted as an heir. Women of
the poorer classes are most to be
pitied. A husband is as free as a
bachelor, and can do exactly what he
chooses. A man marries when he
likes, and when he tires of his wife
he may put her away and take an
other with as little fuss as we make
about changing our tradespeople.
These exchanges, or divorces, are most
frequent among the poor, but ore
comparatively rare among the upper
classes.

SCIENCE OF BUSTING.
How to Keep Pictures and Wood.
work Perfectly Clean, Without
1njurinG Them.

With clean, dry busters wipe down
the SIDEWALKS, faces of pictures
and the woodwork. As often as
the cloth is full of dust take
1t to the window and shake thor
oughly; when grimy, change it for q
fresh one. A feather buster is not
recommended, as it merely hips dust
, from one article to another and does
not remove it. Clean off finger marks
and soiled spots on paint and wood
work by using water containing a
little ammonia or borax. When there
is fireplace in the room wash the
hearth; if there is any iron work go
over it with a cloth slightly damp
ened with kerosene. Carefully re-
move the dust sheets, folding them
with the dusty side in and send out
OF doors to be shaken and aired be-
fore folding and putting them away
for the next week. Have the windows
washed, also the mirrors, and all gas
globes or shades. Close the win
dows, arrange the draperies; replace
furniture and ornaments, and the
room is done.
Where hall is to be swept, remove
all clothing from the hat rack, carry
out the rugs, pin up and cover all
draperies, put movable furniture into
the nearest rooms after busting each
piece. See that all doors are closed.
Begin at the upper hall, sweep and
take up the dust as each landing is
reached. Use the whisk and hair
brushes on the stairs; if carpeted,
whisk the dust on the pan at each
step. Follow the same methods in
busting, being especially careful to go
thoroughly over each stair rail.-N.

Persian Complexion Secret,

Persian ladies, who are said to have
compilations whose bloom and velvety
softness are simply wonderful, use no
cream or ointment or their faces. In
stead, they apply, half an hour be-
fore their daily bath, a. coating of
white of egg. When this has com
pletely dried it is sponged off with
tepid water, to which is added little
tincture of benzoin, and then the
skin is sponged over with cold milk.
The white of egg cleanses the skin,
and the treatment described removes
all impurities from the complexion,
leaving it smooth and soft as that Of
ehild.-N. Y. Weekly. .-
