Jesse a loafer.

Jesse Grant. third son Of the great
general, is a quiet. unassertive man
of about medium height and rather
inclined to be stout. Comfortably
off, he is engaged in the gentle art
of making the time pass pleasantly.
Mr.. Grant lives in the Prince George
Hotel, New York, belongs to one or
two clubs, and says of himself: Il
am a splendid loafer. With a good
cigar l can stare at the wall contened

CHILLING THE FLOCK.

Every breeder of thoroughbred

ton endeavors to Gull from the flock
or herd any ANIMAL that has the least
blemish. If the farmer would pursue
such policy. even with grade stock,
he would increase the producing ca
pacity of his animals each succeed

tanned is a drawback to all others, as
success is had by using only the best

THE ORCHARD SITE.

Two mistakes are often made in
selecting location for the orchard.
Very moist land will give a good
growth for few years, but the fruit
does not set we'll and the trees decay
and die young. Trees set in a shell
tered sunny spot will also fail to give
satisfaction. Give the orchard plenty
of air and a good frost drainage and
do not give it too much water.-Amer'

are edible, but the most useful OF all
flowers is the poppy.
The juice of the poppy gives us
opium. The seed is pleasant and
rutritious-poppy seed cake is one
of the best cattle foods. And the oil
answers 4 hundred purposes. 1t is
used to mix artists colors, to cook

"Waitiru at the Church,"

J. remarkable incident occurred at
a wedding at Scarborough
When the bridesmaids reached the
entrance of St. Marys Parish Church
they were informed that they could
not enter, as they were not wearing
hats. but only wreaths of nlarguerites.
The girls were naturally greatly dis
appointed, but they got over the diff
cr:ty by placing their handkerchiefs
on their heads and the marguerites
over the handkerchiefs.
Then the bridesmaids were allowed
in the church and the ceremony pro-
ceeded.
One of the rules enforced at this
church is that women shall not enter
bareheaded and the vicar never makes
an exception to the rule.-London Ex-
press.

underoround Ventilation.

The natural ventilation of under
ground railways is impracticable, be-
cause the air current may be reversed,
owing to atmospheric conditions, be-
coming nil in spring and autumn, SO
that mechanical ventilation imposes
itself, observed Prof. Couriot to the
French engineers. The only solution
of the problem compatible with safety
is. in his opinion, to exhaust the vitiat-
ed air by fans erected midway be-
tween the stations, these latter serving
as inlets gineer.
