Bells.

II was long a fixed idea that silver
mixed with the bell metal improved
the tone, but this is now considered in
correct. The Acton Nightingale ard
Silver Bell, two singularly sweet bells
at st. Johns college, Cambridge. are
said to have mixture CT silver, but
if true this is not believed by conlpe-
tent authorities to be the cause Of their
beautiful tone. This idea led TO the
story Of the monk Tandio concca!inS
the silver given him by Charlemagne
and casting the bell in the monastery
of st. Paul OF inferior metal. where.
upon he was struck by the clappcr and
killed. In the ninth century bells We're
made in France of iron. They have
been cast in steel. and the tone has
been found nearly equal in fineEess to
that of the bell metal. but. having less
vibration. was deficient in length. and
thick glass bells have been made which
give a beautiful sound, but are too brit
tie to long withstand the strokes OF the
clapper.-Gentleman Magazine.

Things About Sleeping.

Sunlight is good for everything.
Away with heavy hangings either
above or below the bed. Beware of a
dusty, musty carpet; better sweetness
and bare floor. Do rot fail to provide
some means for ventilation during the
night. Keep the head cool while sleep
ing, but not by draft Of cold air fall
ing upon it. If folding bed must be
used, contrivc some way to keep 1t
aired and wholesome. Let the pillow
under the shoulders be high enough to
bring the head in q natural position, nc
more nor less. Thoroughly air the
sleeping room every day. Air the beds
and bedding as often as possible. A
dark, out Of the way, unwholesome
corner is no more fitted for q sleeping
room than for a parlor. \ feather bed
which has done service for a genera
ton or two is not desirable thing
upon which to sleep.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
RebreukinG Corn Ground.

For years past we have been advls-
ing our readers against deep rebre2k-
ing of the corn ground for oats. This
spring we thought to gain further eN-
perience on this point. Part of our corn
land that was to be sown in oats WaS
very thoroughly broken and put in tine
condition, and the oats were soWn.
After sowing this part we soWed the
remainder Of the land with oats broad
cast and then plowed them in as shall
lowly as We could keep one horse
plow in the ground and then ran the
smoothing harrow over the land. At
the present writing the oats treated IN
this latter manner are fully one-thlrd
better and stronger than where the
land was deeply plowed, and they look
as though the crop would be greatly
bettered. This is simply a confirmation
Of our experience for many years anu
seems to show that after L piece Oh

is not only needless. but is an actual
detriment to the crop.-Practical Farm

The Inventor of the Match.

The first match was the product Of
the ingenuity Of John Frederick kom-
erer, who early in the nineteenth CEN
tury was imprisoned in the peniten'
tiary at Hohenasperg, in Germany. He
invented the lucifer match while in his
gloomy dungeon. The German govern
ment forbade the manufacture of
matches on the ground of public policy,
because some children playing with
them had caused fire. komerer was
ruined by Viennese competition when
he was released from, prison and died
a pauper Up to 1862 the Vienna man
ufacturers controlled the match bust
ness Of the entire world.

A PLEASING FRENCH TRAIT.
Love Between Brothers q Strongly
Marked Characteristic.

One of the ways in which the close
union of French family life shows it.
self is the great affection Of brothers
for each ether. There is an intimacy
between them in good and evil fortune
which one does not Gnd in other cOun-
tries. 4 brother who takes high po-
sition by his talents loses no opportuni-
" to forward the interests of one of
lesser ability or of no ability. He never
treats the latter as 4 drag on him, and
perhaps scarcely feels that he is one.
Married brothers often like to live in
the same house, Oh different floors, and
to hire summer villas in close prox-
unity.
Most Of the famous Frenchmon
whom 1 knew had each u brother to
whom he was devoted. Louis and
Charles Blanc, though so dissimilar in
appearance, tastes, disposition, and
married to women who disli&ed each
other, were. morally speaking. Siamese
twins until death severed the bond.
The same might be said of the GARNER
Pages, of Jules Favre and his brother
Leon, of Ernest and Arthur Picard, Of
Puech, the sculptor, and his brother
the deputy. Paul and Hippolyte Flau-
drin. the painters. were known in their
student days as the Siamese twins. 1t
not infrequently happens that broth
ers go into literary partnership. In
stances that occur to me are the Con
courts. the Rosnys, the Marguerittes.
1t would be impossible to discern the
work of one of any Of these brothers
from that of another. What is very
curious, each brother, as in the case Of
Charles and Louis Blanc. Ernest and
Arthur Picard, Jules and Leon Favre,
differed strikingly in every characteris-
tic from the other. The dissimilarity
Of the Marguerittes is SO great that one
wonders how brothers could be SO un-
like. Alphonse Daudct was not bit
like his brother Ernest. an accom-
plished novelist also.-London News.

Growing Strawberries.

Strawberry seeds are so very fine
that more than usual care is required
to succeed with them. If you have q
frame, you might SOW the seed in
howerpot and place it therein. peeping
it shaded from the sun and fairly
moist all the time. Lacking a frame,
sink the pot to its rim in some shady
place outdoors, placing piece of glass
over it until the seeds germinate. You
should SOW the seeds at once as soon as
ripe, washing them free Of pulp first.

CowDeas For Orchards.

We prefer cowpeas to soy beans for
orchards, says an experienced farmer.
The soy beans require better soil than
the cowpeas. They do not grow as well
the first year. doing better as the soil
becomes filed with their bacteria. The
erect growing habit Of the soy beans
makes it harder to plow them under
than the cowpeas. which grow closer
to the ground. We should use whip
poorwill or black cowpeas.

The AnGora Coat.

The future Of the Angora business
will be permanent. Every farmer who
has suitable brushy, weedy range for
these beautiful and most useful AMI
mails will not want to be without them.
They thrive and stay fat where other
animals would starve. They improve
the poorest range for other stock. They
enrich the surface of the earth, taking
their main food from bushes that take
their growth from the roots that are
deep in the often poor and rocky
ground. Where these goats have been
kept for several years the grass will
soon grow better than ever before.-H.
