TIMELY FARM HINTS.

The old gardener says to look out
for frost in spring or autumn, when
the sunshine is very hot and the shade
very cold and the shadows very deep.
This indicates that the air is dry and
radiation little checked.
Making a smudge in the garden at
night when q frost IL expected and
spraying the plants thoroughly at the
same time will help In preventing dam
age to plants by frost.
Beans. corn. cucumbers, eggplant,
melons. okra. pepper. pumpkins.
squash, sweet potato and tomato are
the, vegetables most likely to be dam
aged by slight frosts. a. ,s ~
Ringing fruit trees Is recommended

Whistler Let Them Wait.

Whistler's laxity in the matter OF
engagements was notorious. But
his point of view is explained in his
answer to a friend of his who knew
that he had an engagement to dine
with some swclls in a distant part
Of London and who felt that it was
most impolite for Whistler to offend
them. 1t was growing late, and yet
Whistler was painting away madly.
"My dear fellow" he said to him
at last, 'it is frightfully late, and
you have to dine with Lady Such-a-
one. Don't you think you'd better
stop?"
@Stop?" fairly shrieked Whistler.
'fStop, when everything is going
beautifully? Go and stuff myself
with disgusting food when I can
paint like this? Never! Never!
Besides, they can't do anything UNI
til I get there! They never dol"

Fastest Movina rhina.

The swiftest moving body known
is perhaps no longer the famous
runaway star"-the seventh mag
nitude Groombridge 1880 of the
constellation Ursa Major. The es-
Unable average motion in space of
t'fxed" stars is about twenty-one
miles per second, but Groombridge
1880 may have a rate as high as
200 miles, and recent careful spec
geographic determinations at Mount
Wilson observatory indicate that
the 9.2 magnitude star designated as
O. Arg. s. 1890 may have an ac-
tual velocity in space Of more than
350Smilea per seconds5aFThe annual
proper motion ofsthis star is 3.76
seconds Of arc, ar little more than
half Of that of Groombridge 1880.

FIRST PICTURE BOOK.
The Daring Idea That Was Carried
Out BY Johann comsnius.

The Daring Idea That Was Carried
Out BY Johann comsnius.
Some 800 years ago q German
savant had a wonderful vision. At
that time children were taught to
read by force Of arms, so to speak,
through hardships and with bitter
toll on the part Of teacher and Of
child. It seems curious that the
first real step toward tightening the
labor Of children as they climb the
ladder Of learning was the product
of the Imagination not Of some fond
mother or gentlewoman teacher,
but of a bewigged and betitled uni
versity doctor.
It was Johann Comenius, how
ever, who first conceived the daring
idea that children could be taught
by the aid Of the memory and the
Imagination working together, 'tby
means" as he quantity expressed it,
"of sensuous impressions conveyed
to the eye, SO that visual objects
may be made the medium of ex-
pressing moral lessons to the young
mind and of impressing those les
sons upon the memory" In other
words, the good herr doctor had
the bright idea that picture books
could be useful to children. Comeni-
us made his first picture book and
called it the "Orbis Pictus." It
contains rude woodcuts represent
ing objects in the natural world, as
trees and animals, with little les
sons about the pictures. It is a
quaint volume and one that would
cause the average modern child not
q little astonishment were it placed
before him.
As truly, however, as that term
may be applied to any other book
that has since been written, the
"Orbis Pictus' was an epoch max
ing book. It is the precursor of all
children's picture books, and mod
ern childhood has great cause to
bless the name of Comenius.

THE SMALL TOWNS

There is wisdom here for the
contemplation Of the smaller
towns. Good roads are the
means by which the lmal1er
aowns may win back much Of the
a1d1time prosperity and import
aItee.
But such roads, to be effective,
must start some where and lead
somewhere. Short stretches Of

Trunk Of tho Elephant.

Naturalists consider an elephants
trunk the most marvellous miracle
of nature. It contains over 1000
muscles great many more than
are found in the entire human body
BY the aid Of these muscles The
trunk will uproot a<tree or gather
grass, lift a cannon or a nut, kill .
man OF brush off aefly. It is as use
full as a hand with all its fingers to.
supply the elephant with food; and,
being hollow, is used as a suction
pump. No other animal has a single
member or. organ so perfect and 60.

FERTILIZER FORMULAS.

Various Amounts Needed For Differ
ent Crops and Trees. +.
For cauli1ower, celery, rhubarb,. cab
bage and other garden crops, 30(
pounds nitrate Of soda, 300 pounds Pc
ruvian guano, 800 pounds 16 per ceni
acid phosphate. Mix thoroughly and
apply 1000 pounds to the acre.
For potatoes and other garden crops
200 pounds Of nitrate of soda can be
used in the above formula.
For fruit and shade trees, shrubs
vines, ETC., 100 pounds nitrate of soda
200 pounds Peruvian guano, zoe
pounds 16 per cent acid phosphate
Apply 500 pounds per acre.
For Strawberries and small fruits
300 pounds nitrate of soda, 100 pounds
Peruvian guano, 900 pounds is per cent
acid phosphate. Apply 400 pounds per
acre.
For clover, alfalfa and legumes, 15C
pounds nitrate of soda, 200 pounds Pc.
ruvian guano, 800 pounds 16 per cent
acid phosphate. Apply 400 to coo
pounds per acre.
Mix these materials thoroughly on a
level floor, using a spade or shovel.
Spread the materials out in layers and
turn over several times with the shovel.
If passed through an ash sieve of a
quarter inch mesh all Jumps will be
pulverized and a thorough mixture Sc
cured.
These formulas are for the north.
For the south slightly different formn-
las will be required.
The general method Of using chem
ical fertilizers is to broadcast. This
takes heavy applications, applying
two-thirds broadcast and one-third in
the row for cultivated crops. For
wheat, oats, barley, etc., it should be
drilled in at the time Of seeding. Corn
fertilizer when not broadcasted is best
applied in a continued stream from hill
to hill along the row.. For garden crops,
including potatoes, the fertilizer =
broadcast before planting and the bal
ance worked in along the row. For
beets the fertilizer should be drilled
along the row when planting. Work
the fertilizer in about the base Of the
plants Of such small fruits as raspber-
ries. b~lackberries, currants. gooseber-
r1es, etc.
In backward seasons an application
Of nitrate Of soda alongside Of the rows
or hills Of cultivated crops helps to
overcome, the handicap of abnormal
weather and hastens maturity.

HOMEMADE BREAD.

How to Make the Staff Of Life Quickly
and Well.
Break two cakes of yeast into a cup
full of water at blood temperature. Put
a tablespoonful of sugar on the yeast
to stimulate it's quick growth. While
this soaks, warm two cupfuls Of milk
with a cupful Of water. This. with the
water over the yeast, makes a quart of
wetting sufficient for four loaves.
In a large mixing bowl. put several
sleeves of -four and make a depression
in the middle of the -four, in which
put a level tablespoonful Of salt and
a heaping tablespoonful Of lard. Pour
the liquid and the yeast upon the -four
and mix with the hands, working the
flour from the outside into the liquid in
the middle Of the mass. Make a stif
dough and lift the ball out, putting
away any remaining -four for future
use. If the -four is granular let the
dough lie on the board for ten min
utes, covered with a var bowl, that
the -four may properly absorb the
moisture. If the -four is not granular
this wait is not necessary.
Now shape the dough. without knead-
ing, lay the ball in a buttered bowl
and butter the surface Of the dough to
keep it soft. Cover and let it double
in a warm place. an hour to an hour
and a half. If you wish still further
to hurry it set the bowl in warm wa
ter and place a smaller bowl Of warm
water on the lid Of the large bowl con-
tanning the dough.
When doubled shape quickly into the
baking pans for the second rising and
bake when again light. This recipe is
excellent for use when one must have
bread in a hurry. Half of the dough
may be made into crusty rolls
Shampoo For White Hair.
The very best shampoo for white
hair Is, the white of al egg beaten into
a pint of soft, cool water. Rub the
hair with the egg, making a soft lath-
er, after wetting the hair with cold wa
ter and finish the same as with other
shampoo, except in the last rinsing wa
ter, which should be cold. A few drops
Of the best indigo, not ordinary blu
ing, should be added to tinge the wa
ter. This acts exactly as does bluing
on white goods, leaving the hair a pure
white and not in the least tinged with
yellow.
Pale eyebrows and lashes make a
face expressionless. They can be CAL
ed into a better growth by rubbing the
eyebrows nightly with vaseline and
applying to the roots Of both the eye
brows and eyelashes a tonic made by
mixing five grains Of sulphate Of OUT
nine with one ounce of sweet almond
oil. Apply this with a fine sable brush,
which comes for the purpose.
