None on Hand.

One of the old herb doctors who
fiourlshed in New England years ago
was never disposed to admit his lack
of any remedy. One day. says Lippin-
cott's Magazine, a chatting acQuain-
tance said to him:
"see here. doc. have you got any dip
loma?"
"Wal, no. amt got none on hand
just now, but I'm goin' to dig some as
soon as the ground thaws out In the

SOIL FOR THE FRUIT FARM.

The soil for the fruit farm should
be free from rocks, easily worked and
well drained. For growing trees, the
subsol down to the water level should
be of a porus nature. The ideal To-
cation Is high. TO lessen the danger
from frost, and level, to lessen the
work Of cultlvatlng and loss Of soii
from washing. BY all means have the
berry plantations on ground that is
nearly or quite level. The orchards
may be on level ground or any slope
but south or west. A south slope is
oil right for grapes and early vege-
tables.

NOVELTIES IN GREEN.

The green rose is a very old and
rather ugly novelty" that crops up
afresh from time to time as a catch
penny attraction, and there are one or
two other plants with green flowers
that are usually more curious than at
tractive. says the Ladies Field. a
somewhat rare green Powered Lenten
rose, heilebOrus viridis multifdus, is
really rather good, but the ordinary
form, h. V. dumetorum, is unattrac-
tive. The prettiest green Powered
rock plant is perhaps hacquetia cpl
pactis, a little Alpine that flowers
close TO the ground, the bright, geren-
petaled blossoms, with pretty gold
centers, being about the size of prim-
rose blooms, and produced with US
early in spring before the strawberry
like leaves. Bupleurum ranunculoides
is another Alpine that the curious in
green-fowered rookery subjects might
try; but as it is a high Alpine, its cul-
ture will be for careful gardeners
only. The latest invention in the way
of green-fowering varieties is an ad.

yellow primrose. 1t is called Novel

truly green-fowered form of the beau

There are people who declare that
the country is going to materialism
and degradation. There are even peo-
pie who prove this awful condition by
Isolated examples of individual de-
generacy. But at last we have the
final word on the other side. 'The
Worlds Work" devotes itself in July
to showing the finer side of American
life, and to proving, by most interest
ing articles and interesting pictures,
that the conditions are becoming bet
ter every day; that our schools are
better; that our appreciation of art
is better; that we buy more pictures
and looks than any other people in
the world; that our charities are con-
Quoted with more skill and judgment
than they ever were before; that there
is less dishonesty, and that the Guilt
walton of the arts and of the higher
life is making rapid strides-keeping
pace, in fact, with the great increase
in the material advance of the people.
This helpful review has been worked
out with success, and the pictures add
very greatly to the interest of the
number.

at nearly every port we stopped
we would get more or less mislead-
ing information, and would hopefully
follow every clew. While in the
South Atlantic we heard from what

source that the Alabama was at the
Cape of Good Hope. AS we ap-
preached St. Helena, Napoleon's
island, the coal bunkers got low, and
we stopped there, and opened negotia-
tons with a Scotchman for a new
supply. He serenely demanded $50 a
ton in gold, without going TO the
trouble OF removing his pipe while
stating his. outrageous terms. The
exchange was 1885. making the total
price Uncle Sam was asked TO pay $50

after a run of ten hours the ships
officers held a consultation. The al
most impossibility of reaching the
cape without coal was only too clear.

him in on his black gold mine.
This time he was a trifle more in

his philosophy this way: He had been
sitting on that coal pile for eighteen
months, waiting for a ship to come

the height of the Vanderbilt above

that her officers would not dare risk a
storm while she stood up so high.
Our return didn't surprise him a Bit,
and he soon got his men to work and
loaded 1 1000 tons in the hold, for
which the federal government paid
$4,000. He said somebody had TO pay
for his tobacco and his patience, and
we happened to be the victims. He
