Lettuce Diseases.

The lettuce diseases are causing us even more worry than plant lice. It has be- come big problem how to keep our plants in perfect health. l have finally come to the conclusion to depend more on variety of lettuce than on treatment. and recently we have grown Grand Rapids a curly leaf lettuce. almost to the exclusion of all otner sorts, especially the close heading ones, as most immune from the attacks of fungous diseases. It may for that reason be called a fairly "Grand' let tuce, and it is also a fairly rapid" grower. Great results are expected from recent efforts made by the experts of the department in Washington to develop a lettuce that is perfectly immune from these diseases. The cultivated sorts have been crossed with some relatives of wild lettuces. and the reports thus far given out indicate that we may look for satis- factory results. I have written to the department in regard to this matter, and may be able to give more information about it in next issue

GARDEN NOTES.

T. Greiner in Farm and Preside
 There Is a whole list of vegetables of which most American gardeners know very little or nothing In my estimation they do not lose much by ignoring such things as Globe Artichoke, Cardon, Cher vil Scolymus, Scorbonera, Sea-lale, Sor- rel, Strawberry blite. Corn salad and some others. I have grown these things as 1 thought in perfection. But We either did not know how to prepare and serve them, or else they are not suited to our tastes and notions. Whether this will also be true of the Florence Fennel or not re- mains to be seen. The plant, which Is in more general cultivation In southern Eu- rope, and even .now grown and used to quite an extent by recent Italian immi- grants, is said to be quite ornamental, having an airy, graceful foliage and a mild and agreeable flavor when one once becomes accustomed to it. We will try it, but without extravagant expectations. If any of our readers have grown it we would appreciate reports.

WORK OF AN INVALID.
Dresses One Hundred Dolls in Daint-
 jest Fashion Every Year.

From the New York Tribune.
 An invalid woman living in the country is mainly responsible for one of the most interesting philanthropies of the Christ mas season. Every year during the sum- mer months she dresses in the most at tractive manner possible 100 dolls. She takes the utmost pains with every single dolly, and when they are done they are things to dream of. In addition to their pretty dresses and dainty underwear, all of them have charming bonnets or hats or little knitted Tam O. Shanters, and their tiny feet are shod in dainty slippers made from kid gloves. Toward the mid dle of December the dollies are all packed in a box and dispatched to the clothing bureau at BOT Mott street, where its opening is a great event. At the same time toys of all sorts and conditions, which have been sent to the bureau dur ing the year, are brought from the archives, and tho bureau dons its holiday clothes. Utilitarian interests are rele- gated to the back ground for the time being, and the bureau goes in for the superfuous, which, perhaps, gives more pleasure than anything 1t does during the year.
 The dollies sell at from to 15 cents apiece, according to size, and when mother has eight children to supply with toys and six little daughters, who all want dolls, she gets a 'rake-off." The half-dozen go to her for a mere trifle. The clothing bureau is not a money making concern, but 1t always sells things at a nominal price, instead of giving them away.
 Christmas tree decorations are in great demand and for penny one can buy if one comes properly recomnlended-any quantity of gew-gaws-a bunch of crum- pied tinsel several glass balls with some of the glitter gone, and a dainty wax angel with tip of one wing missing.
 Kindergarten materials are also popu- lar, and brought tears to the eyes of one mother, who eagerly bought a box of them for her crippled daughter.
 Every year the bureau sends Christmas greetings in the form of pretty boxes of candy to its numerous patrons. and it is not uncommon for six or eight of these boxes to go into one home.

Trying First Days of "klds."
From Judge.

From Judge.
 TO the eighty-odd "lsid' congressman a brief pause after the first trying days of their initiation into Washington life must give to their Christmas an added delight The first days of the new congressman are trial compared to which newness, the unreality and strangeness of a honey moon are as nothing. He comes from the rural wildness and simplicity and sits in the parlor window of the nation. The fierce light that beats upon throne Is a mere sprinkle of star dust beside the white glare of publicity That shines about him. The dirt paths and board walks of his far distant home in Kinikinnick coun- ty gave place to the avenues of asphalt, and his disposition to run into alleys when a trolley car buzzes by Is the source of no end of discomfort. If a congress- man could slip into Washington quietly and grow up with the government, as 1t were, and gravitate unnoticed to his seat as a star comes out in the twilight heavens. it would be so different. But there are compensations. Think of the joy of being able to say of every law from now on, ''I am partially the parent of that laWr Here is the peculiar glory of the new congressman and the sweet solace of his first days that he is now in a position where 1t is possible to introduce bill which shall profoundly affect the whole after life of 80 millions of people. He may shy at the cars, have that funny feeling when the elevator goes down. and be laughed at by MT. Joseph G. Cannon, but down deep in the steadfast bedrock of his kinship is the man sent from Kalamazoo or Poke Land ing to assist in making 2S765 brand new laws for his countrymen. In these glor- ious days of festivity the young congress- men will get over their stage fright, and when they face the speaher's desk in January Uncle Joe wants to look out

Leaf Lice and Lettuce elIohts.

Leaf lice and lettuce blights are things that bother us just at this time. The for mer I try to keep under control by often repeated Immigration with tobacco stems. This, however, is a makeshift at best, and never does the job so thoroughly but that we have to keep everlastingly at it in order to save our plants from serious harm. Fumigaton with hydrocyanic acid may give uf a way out of the difficulty. It has been found thoroughly effective for the San Jose scale, and recent trials with 1t for greenhouse pests, the green fly un- doubtedly among them. have shown very encouraging results. The stuff is poison ous and must be handled with great care; but that is no reason why we should hesi- tate to use 1t if it promises to give us complete immunity from the green fly and other greenhouse pests. I will make my trials with it soon.

nRooMING HORSES.

From the Alabama Farmer
 The sldn of a horse. like that of oth- CT animals, is a mass of excretory or gans, supplied with innumerable pores, which, if kept open, a constant flow of watery fluid discharges, carrying off the effete waste material which has perform ed its proper function in the maintenance of the body. The epiderInis also Is com posed of an infinite number of glands which constantly pour an oily secretion to the surface, which Is essential to keep ing the skin flexible as well as furnish ing the necessary nourishment for the hadr to keep 1t soft and glossy.
 It will not do, therefore. for these pores to get clogged, for In that case the skin would soon become dry, rough, hard and diseased, nor is there much danger of it except when the horse is hard at work. Then the secretion of watery fluid Is heavier than when the animal is idle, and if the sweat is allowed to dry on the skin dust will accumulate, mixing with it. and if not cleaned off fill and clog the pores. As a. result the skin will not only become diseased but the whole system more or less deranged. The im- pu1dtes, unable to escape through the skin, will accumulate in different places and give rise to blisters, which, if neglect ed, may lead to blood poisoning or some- thing else nearly as bad.
 By regular thorough grooming, how ever, all this will be prevented, the pores kept open and a healthier, thrifter con dition of the animal maintained A horse having thick, tough skin will endure a tolerably sharp currycomb, which, used on another with thin, tender skin. would be a positive cruelty Whatever accumula- tions of dirt may be on the hair after the use of the currycomb a thorough cleaning out of the skin should follow by the aid of good brush.

 w. H. Harrison, Jr., contractor and builder of city gas plants, in the course of letter written to the Manufacturers Record from Toledo, Iowa, says;
 T have always been a friend of the south. In 1888 l wrote and published a book without the aid of any railroad or land company entitled How to Get Rich in the South The northern papers had considerable sport at my expense, because at that time 1 was pursuing my avoca- tons in the north, but l sold several thousand copies, and l now propose to take my own medicine, though 1 am pre- pa1dnS to develop a large tract of prop erty in Alabama. Since 1888 1 have had considerable experience in the south, hly- ing been travelling passenger agent for the Three C's for three years. After the failure Of that road l was northwestern passenger agent for the Georgia Southern and -t'lclida, going from them to the Mobile and Ohio l had charge of the editollal work and advertising for that road two years. and then l spent two ycals in the northwest as district pas- senser agent of the same road, utilizing most of my time giving lectures and in- ducing fo ks to go south
