Calling the Clouds by Name.

How many people know that the
clouds have definite forms, says Ar
thur W. Clayden, of the Royal Albert
Memorial College, Exeter, England, in
an article on Clouds" in Harper's
Magazine. The short, curling wtsps
that lie in punches or long parallels,
extremely beautiful, but delicate, are
called cirrus clouds. Alto clouds are
denser and dim the sun or hide 1t,

did of all in the sky when sunset col.
ors fall upon them. Mackerel sky is
a familiar kind of cloud, and actually
does presage unsettled weather. The
towering, vaporous white pyramids,
that we watch oftenest as they
cross the sky, are known as cumulus.
Thunder clouds to the observant eye
look like anvils at the crest, and when
they sink down into fiat tops the storm
is over.

TRAINED LIBRARIANS.

Of all the fields in which to SOW
her energies the well-educated but
otherwise unframed girl who sudden
ly faces the problem of self-support
will find the modern library one of the
most promising, says Anna S. Rich
ardson. So far the profession is not
overcrowded and the good worker is
in demand. Some librarians hold
that in the library there is never
any great goal in sight for the very
able and ambitious. 1t does not give
an opportunity for the expression Of
individuality, like the arts, the scien-
ces and the law. But taking the pro-
fession as a whole It Is the ideal one
for the girl who is content with rou-
tine work, comfortable salary and
the ability to serve her fellow men
In a capacity which can never be
termed mean, narrow or mental. The
modern librarian must be trained,
and in New York the public library
maintains training scnool in con-
nection with the Muhlenberg Branch
in West Twenty-third street, and each
apprentice has the same hours and
routine as the paid assistant, and at
the end Of the. library year takes. her
first examination, whom she may be
appointed an assistant at $40 a
month. Two years later she takes a
second examination which entities
her to $50 a month, and year later
she takes her third and last exami-

post of head librarian at a salary
ranging from $50 TO $50, according
the library in which she is placed,

SHRUBS FOR SUCCESSION.
From Home and Farm.

The importance OF obtaining a sue
cession Of bloom in a shrubbery plant
ing scheme has been pointed out. In
selecting the varieties to produce this
there is room for a large variance OF
choice. Tastes will vary, the climate,
soil and the care given the plants
should be considered.
The following list Of twelve shrubs
will be found to give good results
with little care: (1) Forsythia, or
golden bell; (2) Cydonia Japanica,
or Japan ounce; CD Viburnum
opulis sterelis, or SNOWFALL; ca
Spiraea Van Houtel, or bridal wreath;
co Lonicera Tatarica, the upright
honeysuckle; (6) Weigelia rose; 90
Philadelphus, or mock orange, also
known incorrectly as syringa; (S)
lilac (syringa); (9) Spiraea callosa,
or pink spiraea; CO) Spiraea Antony
Waterer, or dwarf spiraea; (11)
Hibiscus syriacus, or althea; [12)
Hydrangea paniculata grandifora.
Other shrubs which are worthy of
planting in the springtime or fall are:
Hercules club, botanically known as
the aralia spinosa; the purple and
green-leaved barberrles; several vari-
eties of the dogwood, and the flower
ing locust.-Indianapolis News.

THE STRAWBERRY BED.

For a hundred times probably in
our life we have written on this sub
ject and urged the necessity Of care
full tillage and culture in the straw
berry bed from the time 1t Is set out
until the runners are we'll set and
matted in July, and yet COR
respondent writes as follows: we
purchased a few hundred plants last
spring and planted them out. They
grew, but the weeds have grown so in
the patch and the runners have com
menced running so we cannot plow
the weeds out without injuring the
plants. What would Jon suggest to
do for a bed in this condition."
If it was ours we would pillow It IN
der and try and learn a lesson from
the past. There is no excuse for a
man to plant out strawberry bed If
he don't intend to take care Of it. 1t
just shows the folly of man spend
ing his money for something that ne
don't intend to give proper care. As
the strawberry is so easy Of culture
and requires so little care, yet it must
be at the time that the plants are es-
tablished and new plants setting on.

ApY1sABILITY OF KEEPING BEES

ADVISABILITY OF KEEPING BEES
It is safe to say that every farmer
would support, at least few hives
OF bees. Nearly all parts of our coun-
try produce honey in quantities suf-
ficient to pay for the gathering. The
amount of honey that goes to waste
every year for want of bees to gather
It is very large; in fact, too large to
estimate. Every farm has on 1t fruit
trees, berry patches, clover or buck
wheat fields, all of which, in the ab-
sence of bees, is evaporated by the
sun and practically wasted. The for
ests also contain many linden and
white wood trees which are good
honey yielders. Then there are the
autumn wild flowers, such as boneset,
goldenrod, heartsease and wild asters,
which bloom for succession of two
months, from which the bees do not
only store quantity Of surpluI
honey, but also fill the brood nest OF
the hives for winter stores. In my
locality beekeepers get the most and
finest honey from autumn wild flow
ers which grow at random every
where
Every one growing fruit or any
plant that is intended to yield seed
should be interested in beekeeping,
and either try to induce some person
TO keep bees near him, or keep few
