Loyalty.

The best time and place to hear 4
medley of national airs is sailing day
on the. pier Of a steamship bound for
some European port that is a distrib-
uting center for the entire continent.
Many persons seem to think that per-
sons going to Europe or returning
therefrom should be sped on their
way or welcomed home by an outburst
Of song. Accordingly, when the mu-
sically inclined hear Of friends who
are about to embark they repair to
the pier in large numbers and sing
their adieus. The international con
cert is frequently amusing as we'll as
confusing. Here a band blares out
the German national anthem, there
representatives Of a singing society
shout some other tune of the father
land, while in a dozen other different
places a dozen other groups of stay-at-
homes sing or play a dozen other airs
of other countries. 1t is all very III
spiriting. very cosmopolitan. ard
makes the hustle on the piers Of the
ordinary conservative steamship lines
seem like mere Sunday school quiet.

Corn Cultivation.

In many sections this summer TIA
weather has been so wet that the corn
fields are beginning to look weedy,
n 1t VIII require active work to
keep the weeds from choking out the
corn, says the Chicago liner Ocean.
When corn is small and the sol dry
young weeds are easily killed with
the harrow and narrowing is one OF
the best ways Of cultivating young
corn when the soil is real dry and
likely to stay dry for some time. So
long as the soil remains dry keep the
harrow going just as long as it can
be used without tearing out the corn.
However, when the soil becomes filled
with water and packed by heavy rains
the shovel cultivator is the best tool
to use for young corn, as 1t will cover
up more weeds and loosen up the soil
for the air to reach the roots of the
growing plants.
Where corn Is planted one way and
no cross cultivation can be done weeds
can be taken out between the hills

vator in and out between the hills,
With a little practice at manipulating
the shovel by means OF the handles a
good mar Ear literally hoe the corn
and do it better than by hand. since
the c%ultivator tears the weeds out by
the roots, while the hoe only cuts
them off, to quickly sprout up again.
When there are no weeds to kill in
the corn we aim to let the shovels
run only two or three inches deep
and let the team walk as fast as it
will. When the corn Is small we let
the tenders down so that the c1"Is
are not thrown IN the corn plants,
but only the finest soil reaches them.
AS the corn grows larger at subse-
quent civilizations the tenders are
gradually raised and more dirt put to
the corn.
Many men in cultivating corn,
either with the cultfvator or harrow,
are extremely afraid that all of the

A CRUIdB OF BREAD,
Its Effect on the Tip of n Vivncious
woman'S Nose

"ofhahS nose.
isn't it terrible" said the society
woman, what a tiny thing can prove
a tragedy to poor, self Wanting man
kind. A speck almost invisible in the
eye Of an athlete may disempower him
utterly and render him as helpless as
a baby. And a lost hairpin OF the
breaking Of a buckle may transform
the most smartly groomed woman into
an object of amusement to all observ-
erS.
AT a dinner | attended not long
ago a lady sitting opposite me lodged
in some inexplainable manner a large
crumb of bread directly on the end Of
her nose without being conscious Of
the fact, and there it remained. The
ludicrous effect vas beyond the power
OF words to describe or of human
risibles to resist. She is an extremely
vivacious conan generous with
smiles and little bows and motions OF
her head, and as she chatted gayly
with those about her it was impos-
s1ble for us to restrain our unseemly
mirth. Naturally she thought this
was caused by her remarks, and she
continued 10 toss Off jests with a
lightsome air. We we're all in agony,
but no Il summoned courage to tell
her, each of us preferring to leave
that kindly act to another. After a
time she addressed a remark to her
husband, who sat next to her and
had been devoting himself to the lady
at his other side. He turned to look
at his wife. and in an instant a clever
touch OF his napkin removed the dis.

Apple Pest.

The apple scab, grape scab and other
forms OF fungous disease show them
selves in midsummer and require the
most prompt and persistent work
with Bordeaux MIXTURE. Meanwhile,
through all this hot meather we have
at work in our orchard a rather re-
cent pest, called the tripeta fly. This
is the worst enemy that the horticul-
turist has to deal with, says E. P.
Polell in Outing.
This fly works all summer, and it
stings right through the skin of an
apple at any season of its growth.
The eggs produce the most insignift-
cant worms in size, but they tunnel
the apple until the whole contents are
blackened pulp. You will sometimes
know nothing at all of the mischief
gcing on until a customer charges you
wit, selling rotten apples. Some eggs
hatch in midsummer, as soon as laid,
but others lie dormant until midwin-
ter, when they will hatch out in your
cellar, and go on with their ruinous
work.
A practiced eye can generally tell
of the presence of larvae by dark lines
on the skin of the apple. The only
