It seems almost cruel not to give horses a feed of grass occasionally, even when they are hard workingat this season, when grass and clover are at their prime. Yet every farmer knows tbat if allowed to run to grass, even for a few hours, the working horse will have an attack of scours, will lose his appetite for the eolid food that gives him strength, and be incapable for several days thereafter of doing a full day's work. Horses are exceed ingly fond of grass and clover. Some times, if old bar is scarce, the farmer tries to economize by cutting some clover, and after drying it nearly into hay feeding it in place of tho hay. But even this has to be given very care fully or it will work injury. A horse at work should always be slightly cos tive. If the excrements grow soft it means that bis efficiency for work is lessened. If there is too much cos tiveness a tablespoonf ul of old process linseed meal which will give strength will put the bowels in good condition. That is better than giving grass or clover which when green furnish little strength. It is not till late in the fall that it is safe to feed new hay to horses that have hard work to do. bht Cor of Eloaoo Flaate. A Terr satisfactory shelter for bouse plant may be made by setting np four poeu in a square, to which strips of lath or boards can be nailed about an inch apart. Make a roof of tbe same materia!, and put on in tbe same way as tbe strips on tbe sides, which bonU be in a sort of lattice. Such a shelter will admit all the air that is stirring and all tbe sunshine tbat tbe plants will need, and will not prevent any one of them from getting the ben efit of dews and showers, while it will break the force of strong wind".

"Which?" said the girl with tho dimple, coloring as though she knew. "Why the man who gave the theatre party the other day, and sent those beautiful rubber-tired, electrio cabs." "Oh, yon mean Mr. Murgatroyd?" "Yen, that's the name. What has become of him?" "Oh, we drifted apart somehow. You know he lived in Brooklyn?" "But he was so unusually nice. Don't you remember that princely supper be gave us after the theatre and tho tlowers and all?". "Yes he was very nice but do you know he was you must never tell but he was an undertaker?" "An undertaker? Ugh!" J ' "Yes, I felt that way at first but do you know, Leila, I wouldn't have minded it so much if he hadn't insisted on talking shop and even obtrud ing his horrible profession into bis social life in tbe horridest way. I really liked him, and after the first shock I made np my mind that it wasn't a bit worse than booming bi cycles or automobiles or any of those other things." "You poor dear! Tell me all about it." "Well, I didn't even suspect it nt first, but lots of odd thiugs happened through his peculiar way of looking upon his profession as an ordinary, everyday one. He did not seem to realizo how uncanuy it all was. You remember that house party down at the an Smartes' place on Long island?" "Why, yes yon met him there, didn't you?" "Yes, we met there, and the Van Smcrtes had arranged for a lot of oil fashioned games to be played in the barn. One of these was forfeits.

There were fourteen of us in all, and he sent a cab apiece for us.

We enjoyed a pleasant drive through tho park, and when we reached Riverside, I begged bim to let them out. I lovo to have horses go fast.

The discovery last summer of a re markable asteroid, since named Eros, which periodically approaches the earth nearer than any other heavenly body except the moon, has led a Ger man astronomer, Herr J. Bauschinger, to suggest that Mars itself should henceforth be regarded as an asteroid, instead of as a major planet. The comparative smallnessof Mars's mass, and the great eccentricity of its orbit, are adduced as reasons for consider ing it at a member 01 tbe asteroid family. If the asteroids once formed a single planet, as some have sup posed, then possibly Mars is simply the largest existing fragment of the ancient planet, which traveled an orbit lying between the earth and Jupiter. So much of Europe as is interested in the manufacture of high explosives is just now engaged in speculating over the discovery of a new one which an Austrian chemist is alleged to have perfected. It is a smokeless power, free from nkro-glycerine, which over heating affects but a trifle, and which is as trustworthy and safe as is com mon gunpowder. It is positively smokeless, does not heat the arm in which it is used, and altogether seems to have completely filled the bill at which all manufacturers of explosives have been aiming. So far the details of composition and manufacture have been kept a secret, so far as this coun try is concerned, at least. Gardens aa a Fart of tlie Yarn). No farm is complete without a kitch en garden. It is very late, but not too late, to have a good garden. Let the ground get dry; then break thor oughly. Use all the manure your conscience will let you; spread it broadcast; mix it thoroughly with the soil. Throw up very light beds just enough to keep the rainwater from settling around the little plants. Plant your seeds, if convenient, just before night; cover lightly with hand rake. Small seed should be planted near the surface. Then be sura to press the Boil tightly around the seed. You can do this with a plank. Lay the plank along on the seed row and walk upon it, or roll the beds with an empty barrel. This is easily done and does good work. If your soil bakes, loosen it up with haudrake each side of seed row. No work in the garden pays better than this rolling and raking. The rolling will nearly always secure a good stand. All gardeners know how im portant this is. The raking kills weeds of grass in the sprout as soon as up, and makes the soil warmer, which is very important to the health of young plants. Turnips, kale, cabbage, collards, spinach and other salad crops should be sown in abundance. They are good tor tne table, tne pantry, tne pigs and the cows. Beets, beans, onions, cucumbers, salsify, cantelopes, squashes, peas, and others, accord ing to taste, can 'soon furnish variety and plenty. Look after the garden. A good garden, a good cow, a few pigs and hens will almost support any ordinary family. Southern Cultivator. Ventilation fcy Windows. No set rules can bo given as to whether windows should be opened from the top or from the bottom. This will, depend entirely upon whether the window, when opened, is intended for an outlet or an inlet, when the wind is not blowing, windows should be opened from top and bottom. In this way the air of the room if it is warmer than the outside air, will rise and pass out at the top, the outside air being heavier will flow in at the bottom. In summer, when the air of the room is cooler than that on the outside, the current will be reversed. When wind is blowing and the room contains windows on opposite sides of the rooms, the windows on the wind ward side should be opened at tho top and the one on the leeward side at the bottom. This current as it passes through will have an aspiring power to draw the air of the other parts of the room toward it. Admitting the cold air at the top, and letting the foul air out below seems to contradict the natural theory of ventilation as before described; but it must be remembered that here the force of the wind is utilized instead of the unequal weights of columns of hot and cold air. If the windows are, as more fre quently occurs, on two adjacent sid es it is generally best to make the prin cipal top openings on the side of the strongest winds and the principal pottom openings on tne remaining side. . When the windows are all on ono side of the room it is generally better to make the principal opening at the top and a smaller one at the bottom The force of the air admitted through open single windows may be partially checked by fastening a piece of board to the top sash and extending into the room obliquely upward so as to retard its fall on the heads of the occupants lite Ova SUaiaaa.

It would be a great favor." "Not at all." said tne lawyer. "It's a pleasure to buy a good thing, even if you are not to keep it yourself." In a day or two the pro fessor received a Joyful note.

Why Some interesting instances of the rapid destruction of iron pipes by carbonic acid in water passing through have been noted by German engineers. Near Beuthen, Silesia, a mile and a quarter of cast iron pipe of average quality connected a pumping station with a reservoir, and this pipe began to leak at the end of two years when the upper third was found to be deeply pitted and punctured, the rest being unaffected. At Johann-on-the-Sarr, which receives very soft and pure water from the carboniferous deposits of the Saarbruck district, the action on tho iron was made known in a dif ferent way. The water in a short time became badly discolored and un fit for use, and an investigation showed that the supply at the source was saturated with carbonic acid, either free or as bicarbonate. An Klepliaot Tramp In England. For nearly a week past the peasants on, tbe South of England roads have been amazed at the spectacle of a small herd of elephants slowly wend ing their way London ward. These monster animals have iust walked the whole distance from Southampton to Earl's Court, where they will form part of the Greater Britain Exhibition. Their keepers took them through country lanes and avoided as far as possible passing through tho larger towns. Many horses were terrified at tbe sight of the great quadrupeds. At night the animals were stabled in farn: buildings along the route, and several keepers who had accompanied them from Africa took care of them on their trip to London. This is the first time that a herd of elephants has ever walked through Southern England. London Mail. Scabby Potatoea. Potato scab is spread in a number of ways. Scabby seed and ground on which scabby potatoes have been grown, will grow a scabby crop. Manure from stables where stock has been fed on infested potatoes, will spread the disease, for the passage of fungi through the animal system never destroys the germs. Surface water flowing from an infested field will carry the disease to lower land. Plows and cultivators, unless they are thoroughly cleaned, will disseminate the disease, if they have been used in the cultivation of a diseased crop. Seed treated with corrosive subli mate can be planted with safety. The seed is soaked for one and a half hours in a solution of two and one-fourth ounces of corrosive sublimate to fif teen gallons of water. The potatoes should be cleaned before being im mersed. At the expiration of the time stated, take the potatoes- out of the solution and spread out to dry. The potatoes may be cut before or at ter the soaking. A good plan of mak ing the solution and soaking the pota toes is to dissolve the sublimate in two gallons of hot water and pour it into an open head barrel. Add thirteen gallons of water. Now put the pota toes in a coffee sack and immerse for the time stated. Stir the solution from time to time. But no treatment of the seed will prevent the crop from scabbing if the ground is full of scab. The only way to rid the ground of the fungi is by putting it to growing a rotation of crops, such as grass, corn and wheat. mo root crops snouicr be grown on such soil. - When potatoes are scabbed the disease will grow worse all the time that they are in the ground.' nence, dig iust as soon as they are mature, and store in a dry place. 1 he jpitomist.

The best way to learn the game of golf is to get out on the links and prac tice it. Over a dozen kinds of clubs are used, but lack of space makes it impossible to describe them and their special uses here. The driver is a wooden club used for making long strokes. The putter is made of iron, with the exception of the handle, and is used for making short strokes. The lofting iron, or club, is for lifting the ball when it gets into depressions and -has to be driven out, or for lifting the bill over mounds, fences or other bunker 8.

It Is a well-known fact that If the young of almost any kind of bird are taken from the nest before they can fly. the old ones will feed them most attentively if the cage in which the little birds are Inclosed is placed some where where tbe parents can reach It: and a popular but erroneous belief Is current that they do this for a time. and end by poisoning the vounr ones. This, however, is a mistake, the fact being that at a certain stage of a young bird's existence, when it Is nat urally able to begin catering for Itself, the parent birds, also quite naturally, cease to attend It, and then, if tbe birdllngs are shot up In the cage and their custodian has not thought of placing some food at their disposal. they necessarily die. not from poison administered by tbe parents, but from starving.

"In my opinion the secret of rtoney- uiaaiusj aepenas cnieny upon five things: Push, 'squareness. clearhead edness, ecoiaomy, and rigid adherence to the rule of not overworking." Too much work is worse than no work at all.' it undermines the constitution and unfits a man mentally and physi cally ior tne battle of life. Ten hours a day of steady work is as much any man no matter how robust ought to attempt. . Iu addition to thes things avoid being too grasping; better make a small proat by sure . means than attempt to make a larger one : Ur uncertain and risky measures.

An hour afterward the fleet dispersed some going home some to other places until at last only tne battleships were left.

In many -a family, particularly in New England, a sneeze is generally fol lowed by a hearty "God bless us," though little thought is ever paid to the meaning of the phrase or why it 13 used. A curious explanation of the origin of the phrase is given. It seems that several centuries ago an epidemic like our prasent influenza became rife all over Europe, the first symptom of which was violent sneezing. ' The pope at that time prescribed prayers against the epidemic and recommended cer tain short ejaculations, to be made when anyone sneezed in such a way as to ehow signs of having contracted the malady. Hence all over Europe we have these ejaculations, practically of the same character. Italy: "DIo ri becedica!" in Germany, "Gott segne dich!" (also "Gesundheitl") In France, 'Dieu vous benlsse!" among the Span Ish speaking neople of New Mexico, Jesus te favorescal!" in Arizona, "Je sus to oyude!" . The. English, "uoa bless you," or 'God bless us." corre sponds to the Gaelic. 'Dia linn." "God with us!". Sometimes the response, 'Agus llnire!" "and Mary," Is added. and In violent . attacks, "agus - Eoin Baiste " ind John Baptist-" In New Mexico they say to children sneeslng: "Die te haga crecer," "God make thee grow!" An equivalent expression is used in Gaelic as a thank phrase, and I have heard people, say In Ireland to a child sneezing.

In a weighty paper just prepared for the French Bulletin Mea:cal. Dr. Bru- qpn, an eminent medical writer, de clares that the greatest national peril hanging over France just now is alco holism, and more than all. alcoholism among women. Singularly enough his researches have demonstrated that the women of picturesque Normrejly are more completely In the grasp of tbe drink fiend than the women of any oth er province of France. Drink is sold by the grocer, the coal dealfga-even by the green grocer; and what is still more fatal, nearly every shopkeeper dispenses "wee drops" to customers worth cultivating just to steady the connection. The question assumes a dark aspect in its relation to the ter rible infant mortality in Normandy, which Dr. Brunon attributes to the al most universal prevalence of chronic - m aiconousia among women or tne peas ant and artisan classes.
