Spring Home Gardening.

Flowerbeds should be laid out with
an idea of the succession of flowers and
foliage. Some beds should be planted
in the autumn with spring flower bulbs,
some with pansies, some to be planted
in the early spring with perennial
plants, while others should be planted
in May with summer Towering or foil
age plants.
Keep the grass clipped short with
the mower once a week. This will save
the lab Dor of raking the cut grass off
Even in drought have the grass reg.
ularly moved, for the cut grass will act
as mulch on the ground and help to
prevent evaporation. 1t is essential
that about 400 pounds of good fertilizer
should be used to the acre each year.
The pruning of shrubs must be done
carefully. This consists of removing
the branches when the flowers have
ceased to bloom. This is especially the
case with all spireas, dentzias, weige-
LAS, lilacs and Towering cherries, APP
Piles and peaches. They should never
be pruned in winter, but only imme-
diately after Towering Do not cut
them down in straight lines or forms
as is so frequently done, but prune in
such way. that the process does not
show when it is finished. For that pur-
pose the summer pruning is of the
greatest advantage.

Bathroom House Cleaning.

= Ceaseless vigilance should be tie
watchword of every housewife as far as
her bathroom is concerned. The small
est stoppage, the most trifing leak,
should be attended to at once. When
housecleaning time comes give extra
attention to this important room. If
you have open plumbing and tile floors
and walls, your task is simple one.
If you have the old plumbing with shut
in cupbOards, have every corner Of
them scrubbed out with hot soapsuds
and then treated to good rinsing of
chloride of lime. The tin bathtubs will
look dingy, clean them as you may.
A good substitute for the expensive
enamel bathtub is to paint your tin one.
Any housewife can do this for herself.
Take small can Of ordinary prepared
white paint and with large brush give
your bathtub good coat. Let it dry
overnight. Give another coat in the
morning. In the evening paint it over
with coat of white enamel paint Let
it stand twenty-four hours. Then fill
your tub with cold water; leave this
water in the tub two hours. Draw it
off, wipe the tub dry, and give it
final coat of enamel, which should be
allowed another twenty-four hours to
harden. A bathtub so treated will, with
ordinary use, keep nice-looking for at
least year. Never have on a bath
room floor any covering which cannot
be washed

LOWELL. A., LAMOREAUx.
Architect, sos Lumber EXCHANGE.

The house published this week is
adapted to wide lot, and the ground
on which it is located is rolling, which
adds materially to the beauty Of the
place. This is a good example Of q
house presenting the wide side of the
building to the street, which gives,
of course, a much better opportunity
to the architect than one built the
other way to the street and running
back deep on the lot. :
The plan indicates a pleasing con-
nection between the diningroom, hall
and liyingroom, making a view from
the livingroom down thru the hall and
diningroom, with a sideboard and
leaded-glass window at each side, a
very handsome vista, and showing the
best features of the house to good adj
vantage. There is similarly fine view
looking from the diningroom thru to
the ivingroom opposite, where can be
seen two glazed easement doors with
rich-colored loaded glass opening onto
the side porch; also a portion Of the
mantel, which is built of brick and
runs up seven or eight feet high.
The idea of building the library at
the front of the livingroom is on &C
count Of the facing of the house, max
ing it desirable to retain the sunlight

from the south exposure at the end of
the ivingroom.
Opposite the main entrance wide
flight of stairs begin, being about ten
feet wide and running up to a seat
three steps up and continuing at tho
right up to the second floor. Directly
above this seat and stairway and seen
thru the arch are two handsome loaded
windows opening onto the balcony
above the conservatory and giving
abundant light down the stairs into
the hall. This is most satisfactory
The bathroom has a vitrifed tile
floor and glazed tile wainscoting. It
is finished in white enameled paint,
the entire second floor being finished
in the same manner.
The ivingroom and library on the
first floor are done in cherry; the hall
in quarter-saWed white oak, also the
reception room, and the diningroom is
finished in curly birch and is wains-
coted about five feet high all around.
In each corner of the diningroom is
located a niche where china or silver
may be displayed.
The exterior of the house was fin
ished in California cedar siding and
shingles, and oiled three coats in place
Of painting, all trimmings being
painted an ivory or dark cream color.

and side porch was built Of Ortonville

in the country houses are growing in
favor. Two sets are all that are ever
required, and one is often sufficient.
This depends entirely upon the texture
OF the material used. II it is transpar-
ent, two sets are unnecessary, altho
an additional inner hanging is permits
sible and often a great addition. If
the curtain is opaque and heavy, it
will be found advisable to have trans
parent, inc9nspieuous gauze drapery
next the glass to soften it's outline.
These sheer easement hangings are gem
orally draped, the heavier ones never.
They may be made of net, figured or
plain, or Of some Of the attractive mus
Inns.
A rule which is not at all arbitrary.
but which is often observed, is that of
using net down stairs and the less ex-
pensive muslin upstairs. The curtains
are usually ruffed, sill length, and
draped at the middle sash with a band
of the same material. Whether they
shall be crossed at the top or simply
hang from the center is for the most
part a question of taste and of the pro-
portions of the window A graceful
draping may or may not demand it.

with his eyes bulging he watched the
performers as they made ''the grand
entrance" His little hand stole into
his fathers as he moved as closely as
he could to his progenitor's side. The
circus music rang in his ears, half be-
wildering him. He saw the clowns go
through wonderful antics and held his
breath when the tumblers rushed forth
to turn flipflaps high in the air over
herds of elephants. He saw the trapeze
performers, in dazzling tights, as they
did their wonderful turns high in the
air. and he gasped, clutching at his
fathers hand, as if to thus protect the
daring one from going down to destruc-
ton. Then came suddenly upon the

Hinder ordinary conditions it is safe
to take the teeth as a sure indication OF
a sheep,s age. says Edward Van Al
styne in Rural New Yorker. OF course
with some breeds or individuals tnat
mature early there might be little
variation. The following are the ac-
cepted rules and may be found useful
in determining the age of a sheep:
At one month there are eight tempo
rary front teeth or incisors always in
the lower jaw and three temporary
molars on each side of each jaw. At
three months there will be added per-
manent molar to the three temporary
ones. At nine months there will ap-
pear the second permanent molar. AT
from twelve to fourteen months the
first pair of permanent incisors or
front teeth appear.
At eighteen months there will be the
third permanent molar. At from TWEEN
ty-one to twenty-five months there will
be four permanent incisors At twenty
seven months the temporary molars
drop out, and permanent ones take
their place At thirty months there
will be the six permanent incisors.
At from three years and four to SIX
months all the eight permanent Incl
sors have appeared, and the sheep may
| be said to have full mouth. After
this it is not so easy to tell, but if the
teeth are even and the mouth full one
may take it to be between four ane
!, FIVE years. From this time on the gen
eral condition of the sheep and tht
good or bad state of the teeth will in
dicate whether the sheep can be profit
ably kept or not.
Those accustomed to them can yer!
readily pick out an old sheep by th'
look of its face. When the teeth begil
to get short or the face begins to TAX
on an aged look they would better b.
disposed of. Nor is it wise to wait tina
time. After a sheep gets five years o
past and is fat never give it an op
| portunity to get poor.

EVEN HORSE TRADE.
Nearly All Kinds of Horses Maintain
Steady Scale Of Market Values,

Chicago, April 14.-The bulk of the
transactions thus far for the week show
even tone in demand and prices The
high level reached last week as an in
ctdeft Of increased outside spring de-
mand has been uniformly maintained
in sales to date for the week on nearly
all commercial classes. The better
classes show no quotable change, but
plain farm chunks and light southern
offerings commence to show weakness
under a somewhat narrower demand
Commission dealers are sending out
warning circulars to country shippers
to be conservative In buying these
classes, as a sharp break in the near
future Is imminent. Rural orders for
farm mares and chunks at $80@125
are smaller than earlier in the week
with every indication that future de-
mand will be narrower and Indifferent,
with the prospect that this useful class
will be considerably cheaper before the
close of the month. Drovers are more
active and unevenly higher, with Of
ferings of larger volume. Prices gem
orally show small gains, with the more
urgent spring demand. Good to choice
harness horses are free sellers at $3.50
$3.50 and upward to $500 for extra
good individuals with attractive ac-
tion. General spring trade is steady
