Feed the Bushes,

How can you expect the currant
row to feed you If it is not fed? In
thousands of gardens the currant is
seldom treated to fertilizers. Yet 1t
is one OF our most useful culinary
fruits. We advise every reader who
raises currants, says Farm Journal. to
apply a top dressing of manure around
each bush at this season. The same
treatment is what the gooseberries
and raspberries also need. In the
spring the manure may be dug or cul.
tivated into the soil.

LADDER THAT WON'T SLIP.
Easily Fixed by Attaching Piece Of
Rough Hemlock Board to Bottom.

When it Is desired to use a ladder
where there is any possibility Of its
slipping, as, for instance, upon
smooth barn floor, 1t should be SO con-
structed that 1t will hold, says writer
In the American Agriculturist. A
pair Of sharp spikes properly driven
into the lower end will prevent its
slipping, and is, perhaps, the simplest
method, but often this is not desirable
as such ladder will injure a floor.
A ladder which Is free from this OBJ
lection Is shown in the illustration

nThe Social Whirl,'

There is one less usher in the busi- hess at the Casino, in New York, be- eause ''he couldn't keep still when the music played" His downfall came hbout during the first act of "The So- '.i9l whirl," which will be presented Ter Shubert management at the Fly .parion Thursday, Oct. 3.
 S And 1t happened this-wise: Charlie Murray was an usher on the H,enter aisle, and business was rushing. Mt just chanced to. be the night of one . bf the worst theater jams of the late Summer. Murray started down the 4 "bisle with two patrons just as Miss Maud Raymond reached the chorus of her screaming coon song, "Bill Sim 4mons"-a lyric recital of the woes of
 gentleman of color who couldn't
 keep still when the music played" but Bust "had to dance with the refrain" {" SFIer body seems to fall to pieces, and bach separate piece is doing a dance bn it's own account. She had sung about two lines when the house shook With the moving feet in the audience.
 Murray seated his patrons nervous ly, and then one of his feet lifted-then &the other-then both at once, and he started back toward the door on the
 iveliest out-and-shuffle seen in the world of terpsichore for long time. E[t stopped the song. Miss Raymond, patching sight of the dancing usher, broke into laughter, and pointing to Ehim, shouted:
 file can't keep still when the music plays!"
 Then Murray caught on, and to the shouts of merriment about him march ed double-quick to the box office and
 demanded his money. He said he
 couldn't help it, but he didn't intend to
 be guyed.

 No tough boy in Gotham can equal his mannerisns and talk. He is the original tough dialect untouched by education. Chuck's distinction is at tributed in a manner to his style of dress. A blue flannel shirt, short coat with white pearl buttons, a white tie and a very small hat; that mades the character you read about. In fact, his dress is as famous on the Bowery as himself.
 From Broadway to the Bowery," a thrilling satire of the great Metropo- oils will be the attraction at the New Haven theater on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights of this week and at the matinee Saturday, picturing New York life by day and by night with bright lights of Broadway, and the noted corners and side streets of the Bowery after dark.

Although the story revolves around the lowly Charles Brandon's" courtship of the beautiful Mary Tu- dor" and introduces England's court characters during the reign of Henry ,, VIII, the play is as fraught with in- terest as if it were founded on a theme of the present day period. Now in it's seventh successful season, this play embraces all the salient features of melodrama and farce, tragedy and comedy, and is unquestionably the fit test survivor of the many romantic dramas which were in vogue a few years since.
