Currant wine, elderberry, gooseberry,

Cowslip and rhubarb wine are very

To ..nlnI.e No Bonen.,,

The phrase TO make no bones, +"
which is in such common use, may be
generally explained as implying that
something is done readily and with no
such impeachment as a bone might be
to one who was eating food. 1t has
been explained to be a modification Of
an older phrase to find no bones, -
which seems to have had reference to
bones found in soup and hindranees TO
the consumer. Some folk not only
find but make difficulties and hin
ORANGES, at which they are content to
stick. In Skeletons "Elynour Rum.

lieved the story that She

GREEN MATURING.
A Test In which Alfalfa Leads All
the nitrogen coIIccters.r

tho nitrogen Collectors"
BY #. T. SHUT. Canada
Green manuring is principally useful
In furnishing nitrogen and humus, the
former an essential element Of plant
food, the latter most important con-
stituent Of soils, both chemically and
physically. when employing rye, buck
wheat or other plants not legumes, the
nitrogen stored within the tissues Of
the crop has been obtained from the
soil, but with the legumes GLOVER,
peas, etc. the case is different. They,
under favorable conditions, have the
power OF approprlating the larger part
Of their nitrogen from the atmosphere.
On account of this property they have,
as already stated, been termed nitro
gen collectors Since nitrogen is the
most expensive Of all the elements
when fertilizers have 10 be purchased
the value Of green manuring with the
legumes, which are exceedingly rich in
this constituent, becomes apparent.
The humus thus SUPPLE d increases the
retentive power Of light soils for mOis-
ture, ameliorates the condition Of heavy
olays and regulates the soil tempera-
ture. BY the carbonic acid liberated
in its decay the inert plant food of the
soil is dissolved.
The elements that compose the hu.
mus Of the legumes are for the most
part derived from the atmosphere, SO
that I'm the benefits conferred by the
presence OF humus and its decomposi-
ton there is a distinct gain. Further
we may well suppose that the mineral
matter OF ash constituents OF the green
crop are, by the decay Of the latter in
soil, set fee I'm a condition more or less
Immediately available to plants; hence

Nollekens, the sculptor of George
Ill, had a rare generosity which more
than made up for his eccentricities.
When Chantrey, afterward so famous,
sent his bust of Horne Tooke to the
exhibition he was young and unfriend-
ed. Nollekens said to those who were
arranging the works for the exhibit
ton:
There's a fine, a very fine, work.
Let the man who made it be known.
Remove one Of my busts and put this
one in its place"
Often afterward when he was re-
quested to make a bust he would say
in his persuasive, well nigh irresisti-
BILE way: go to Chantrey. He's the
man for bust. He'll make a good
bust Of you. l always recommend
him"
Yet this same man was penurious to
a fault and by absolute frugality ac-
cumulated a fortune Of S1,0OO000.

The Worth That Waits.

Worth sat at home and waited
While youths years wore away.
''The world" he kept repeating,
''Will find me out some day."
Brass went with banners flying;
His voice was bold and loud.
The show he made attracted
The notice Of the crowd.
Worth's clothes at last got shabby;
His cheeks grew pale and thin.
But still he had the notion
That he some day must win.
Brass strutted in fine raiment
And added to his girth;
He took the pains TO herald
His triumphs DER the earth.
Worth died at last OF hunger;
A book beside him lay;
Within II was this proverb;
True worth must win some day"
Brass lived IN royal splendor;
His boasts were bold and loud.
He thought himself a wonder;
So did the gaping crowd.
Perhaps true worth will triumph.
As sages like to say,
But can true worth sit waiting
While youths years wear away7

Beer barrels are invariably mark ed
with a series OF crosses, which nova
days denote the quality Of the beer con-
tained IN the cask. These crosses were
originally put on by the monks, who
then made oil the malt liquors, as a
sort Of trademark. The crosses were
not of the same shape as now shown,
but were more akin to the shape of a
crucifx and were intended to show
that by "their oath sworn on the cross

How 10 Prepare Hot snnd Bags.
We are all acquainted with the vir-
tues OF the hot water bag, but many
persons are not aware Of the fact that
a sand bag is even better, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer The way to pre-
pare It is this; Get some clean, fine
sand and dry 1t thoroughly in a kettle
on the stove; make a bag about eight
inches square OF flannel. IN It with the
dry sand and sew the bag with cotton
or linen cloth. This will prevent the
sand from sitting out and also enable
the person using It 20 warm it in the
oven or on top OF the stove. After once
using this no further recourse viii be
had to the hot water bag.
