A Negro Minstrel's Biography.

In connection with the close of the
long reign of negro minstrelsy at st.
James Hall. we may note that one
early minstrel, Ralph Keller, wrote
his autobiography. 1t originally ap-
peared in the Atlantic Monthly, in
1869. under the title Of Three Years
a Negro Minstrel" He afterward eX-
banded it into a volume of "Vagabond
Adventures" Even then this form OF
entertainment had apparently seen its
best days, for Keeler's opening sen
tence is: Negro MINISTRIES were, l
think. more highly esteemed at the
time of which l am about to write than
they are now" In 1873 keeler went
to Cuba as a special correspondent,
and there vanished without leaving a
trace.-London Chronicle.

Onion Maggots.

The adult is q two-winged fly which
lays its eggs on the bulbs. The larva
eats into the bulb or root. In about
two weeks it grows to the length Of
nearly half an inch when it pupates
In the ground and comes forth to lay
eggs for the second brood. Various
remedies have been suggested. A hen
and chickens is one. Sowing radishes
with the onions is another. The eggs
will be laid on the radish roots
which may be pulled up later and dis
posed of in some way to kill the grubs.
Turpentine mixed with sand or saw
dust and scattered along the row at
the time of sowing the seed is highly
recommended.

back with the best, that is arranged
under the front and neck edges, and
is fitted by means of shoulder and un-
der-arm seams with the single darts
that are concealed by the trimming.
Over the back and shoulders is applied
the yoke, that gives the long shoulder
line, and the band extensions serve to
outline the bust. The sleeves are wide
and full below the elbows and are I'm
ished with fare cuffs.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four and one
quarter yards twenty-one inches wide,
two and one-eighth yards forty-fou1

and one-half yards two inches wide

Raising Crops For Hogs.

The hogs of this country are being
ruined by continuous feeding on corn.
In some sections to such On extent has
this been carried that the animals are
being raised at considerable loss. Hog
raisers should understand that the an
finals in their care need protein to OBJ
tain the best results. just as much as
cows need protein. If alfalfa or Glow
er cannot be grown to advantage, try
cowpeas. or, if your land is too good
for such a crop. and you want some
thing for summer feeding which will
supply the needed protein, try Canada
field peas. which can be readily grown
On any good land.
The best plan for raising this crop
is to set the peas at the rate of a peck
an acre. plow them under two Of three
inches and SOW a mixture consisting of
q peck Of oats, a peck of barley and
one-third of q bushel of wheat to the
acre. This will make a good growth
and furnish IN abundance of food con
tanning protein for summer feeding.

Queer Discovery in Excavation.

The foundation for the equestrian
statue of Lafayette, at Paris, which
the United States presented to France,
is finished. When excavating for it in
the Gardens of the C%arrousel, the
workmen came upon some excellent
building stone cut and faced. 1t is
believed that this stone was intended
as a foundation for a gigantic statue
of Napoleon III. should he return vic,
torious from the Franco-Prussian War.
In the hurry of the flight of the EN-,
press the stone was hidden away and
covered up.

Princess of Wales, she attended n

Early Peas.

The first crop usually planted in the
farm garden is one of the earlier var
ieties of peas. On account Of the hardi-
ness of the plant no amount of cold
weather will do much injury after the
peas are once up. but when planted
extremely early a part of the seed will
rot in the ground. causing many gaps
in the row. Early in the season usually
there Is little nitrogen in the soil and
the plants grow very slowly at first.
A little nitrate Of soda applied in the
row at the time of sowing will hurry
the growth of peas. The market value
Of the crop depends largely upon its
earliness. The kinds which do not re-
quire bushing are most popular for
farm use. The late kinds often do not
produce a crop until warm weather
comes. and for that reason are often
attacked by blight. which may be pre-
vented by spraying with bordeaux
mixture same as for apple trees.

How to Make q Fence.

Will Adams, in Home and Farm,
gives the following as a good way to
make q fence: First dig the holes
in sand one rod apart, sixteen inches
deep; put in post. which if fifty-eight
inches long, in clay. l sharpen the
posts and drive them down, leaving
forty-two inches out of the ground
This will take 800 posts to the mile.
Have a gauge, as shown in picture,
made of three-quarter by three by for
ty-four inches long, with Stats sawed

nine inches from the top. Slick wire
makes a fence forty inches high with
seven strands of wire. and requires
about 400 pounds Of wire to the quar-
ter. or 1000 pounds to the mile, at a
cost of about $50 per mile for wire and
staples. or about one-third the cost OF
ready woven fence. Put in stays be-
tween the post out Of No. 20 Wire, and
it is equal to q post. Cut this small
wire up into pieces forty inches long,
and forty pounds will put q stay be-
tween every post for q mile.

A Courteous Custom

A door key hung outside a house in
Sweden is q sign the family are not at
home. The custom is more courteous
to callers than the American practice
of allowing the visitor to find out by
ascertaining' through futile bell ring
ing or button punching, but it requires
a greater confidence in your fellow
man, justifable, perhaps, in Sweden.

wire altogether, but l think to use
some slick wire makes q better fence

Stocks this season are most elaborate,
with embroidered stole ends Of the
same material that the stock is made
Of. Smart stocks in black and white
embroidery on a white background
with round steel buttons are new.

The PlnRia.

This is a light green worm. having
lighter stripes running the length OF
the body. 1t is about an inch long.
AS the legs are at the ends it forms
a loop when it crawls. The moth is a
dark gray. and as it ties at night and
on cloudy days. it easily escapes detec-
ton. The larva feeds on a variety Of
plants. but is most injurious to the
cabbage. from its habit of tunneling
through the heads. The natural me
mics are similar to those of the i'm
ported cabbage worm. They may be
destroyed by kerosene emulsion or
pyrethrum.

AGRICULTURAL
For a Swampy Place in the Yard.

Many yards and lawns have lo"'
wet or moist places. which it does not
pay to drain. and in which ordinary
plants will not grow. Such persons
are to be envied. as they have a class
of flowers which are denied in their
best form to others. For the wet spot
use the japanese and German iris,
Montbretias, Heicheria ~Sanguinea,
Caladiums and Flags. The soil can be
well enriched by working in we'll
rotted manure and leaf-mou!d. They
can be protected over winter by put
ting on brush first and covering it with
straw.

The Flat Bow.

There is no doubt about it; the fiat
bow is distinctly the thing this season.
That is, for millinery. Because of its
flatness it cannot be made of ribbon
wider than two inches. You simply
make four loops, two long and two
short, place the short ones on top of
the others and bind the bow in the
centre with a piece of ribbon. in which
there must not be the slightest crease.
Then it is a fitting decoration for the
under-brim of the modish chapeau.
