FARM. GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.1 <?rnpp Culture. The summer pruning of grapevines, says a correspondent, requires attention, in connection with trying the new growth of wood to the trellis from time to time, as tine canes that have been left untied are ofteu broken off by heavy winds. Some theoretical, inexperienced writers have recommended that the leaves of the vines be removed around the fruit as fall avmronehes. "to Iff. in iho snn to rir>en the grapes." The removing of the leaves to let in the sun is highly injuri ous, as grapes require shade to ripen in perfection. I have noticed for many years that such of my grapes as were ex posed to the full force of the sun's rays ripened no sooner than those in the shade, and were of inferior quality. The leaves of the vines are their lungs, through which life and vigor are impart ed to the growing fruit. Note the result of vines in some localities in August be coming defoliated, while loaded with fruit. Not a single cluster ripens. Then t ike such vines as the Concord, and cut them back yearly to two or three canes to be trained to J?W stakes; and the result is, the vines are killed by de grees. % Grape growers should now break off the many small shoots that may be calied " suckers," when they shoot out r i.i 11 ^ I rum iiiu cuiitur ui u viuc. iucu uiauj shoots may bo found higher that are of feeble growth, which should be pinched off, as they break very easily where they connect with the old wood. As to pinch ing,' or catting off canes of thrifty growth,\fcwo or three leaves from the fruit, "fe throw the more sap into the growiug^grapes," I doubt the alleged benefit from such practice. For twenty year? I have grown grapes in the greatest perfection without pinching back a sin gle cane; and when I did pinch the sur plus canes back moderately I could see no benefit from it. Different varieties require different or closer pruning un doubtedly; but I contend that as the canes and leaves of every vine are its life, if we deprive vines of these canes that nature throws out, in a considerable degroo we lessen their vitality. In the fall; when the vines have made their full growth of wood, we may very prop erly prune away from one-quarter to one third of it; "but I would not cripple the vines by excessive summer pruning. When we/come to the question of too much fruit, that is a different matter. Most grapevines, esneciallv while vouncr. are naturally inclined to set more fruit than their roots can sustain; and we must remedy that result by thinning out the clusters in June, when the grapes aro very small. Some extensive vineyard ists are in the habit, when growing grapes for market, to clip out about one third of their crop every season, claim ing that they receive more for the bal ance than the entire crop would have sold for if none had been cut away. In fact, in some cases, if the entire crops were left to mature on the vines, there would be a partial failure of the fruit maturing, and it would be worth but veaj little. Every grape grower should be a judge of how much fruit it is safe to allow to grow to maturity. He must judge by the age of his vines, the soil they grow in, the probable extension of their roots, and the natural capabilities of his varieties to sustain large crops. Those who are growing vines one year old should allow but one cane to grow this season, the best one, and to be tied to a small stake. Two and three year old vines may be allowed to have two canes; but never leave vines to grow bushy, with a dozen or more straggling shoots, unworthy to be called canes, as you cannot bring vines into good bear ing shape by such management. Welsh or Measure Farm Products. If every farmer would weigh or meas ure bis products correctly before send ing or hauling them to ruarki t, be might escapo much aimoyanco as well as direct lo^. Although we begin our investiga tions into the cause of eo much com plaint of short weight or measure in farm products reaching the markets by resuming that both buyer auo ?-ei!rr are fctrictly honest, there is still left abundant room for errors which may engender much bitter feeling between dealers. There are very few farmers who possess correct scales with which to weigh all articles sold by weight, before they are taken to market; hence there is much guessing where actual knowledge might be employed instead. The bushel or half bushel measure employed are usually little better than guesses at the quantity they are supposed to hold, and disappointments or actual losses follow tneir use. n a iarmer sends tne grocer six bushels of potatoes or apples, and only charges for five, the difference is seldom made up, for it is a rule of trade for both parties to strive for the beet of the bargain. Every farmer should pro vide himself with correct scales and measures, and then carefully weigh or measure every article, and note do^sn the quantity before it leaves his prem ises. xhen he will have the means of knowing positively whether cheating is attempted, or successfully practiced, by those who .purchase his products. Without some such precautionary measure, he is at the mercy of others, whether they are honest or otherwise. Killing lunectH. Peflmps the very best method of rid ding our woodwork of insect pests is by fumigating it with sulphur fumes. This may be quickly done by taking one room at a time. Tho windows and doors and every opening, including fireplaces, ventilator, etc., shoul^ be carefully closed, newspapers being" pasted over or stuffed in all cracks and holes which would afford a draught. Then a spoon ful or two of sulphur should be put into a shallow diflh nr old basin of tin, set on fire and left iu the middle of tho room for an hour or two. When we return and open ths room we shall find it per meated with deadly fames, which will have penetrated every crevice, and i brought all noxious insects to a timely i end. Of course we must avoid breathing i the fumes ourselves. i A \Vanliinn Fluid. \ pnM'pcnnr.flrmf fVm . .?% * 1 ** VV**VW^VJ'UVUW V* WU I V4V1 uiautw \>li I Telegraph says, to make good washing j fluid, take one-third ounce gum camphor ! dissolved in one-half pint of alcohol ; i also one-third pound of borax aud one- j half pound sai soda, and dissolve in ono | gallon of hot rain water, and the fluid is ; ready ; after stirring all the ingredients I together add one gallon of cold rain wa- , ter before adding th* gum camphor and ! alcohol.

How Worth Makes the Women. Very many ladies of New York, a cor respondent says, send regularly to the great man dressmaker, Worth, in Paris, for their dresses, both summer and winter. Do not lor a moment suppose all these women have seen Worth. The greater portion Rend a photograph to him, with a description of the complex-i ion, the color of hair, eyes, etc. It is j not an infrequent occurrence to have the photograph returned to the owner with i regrets at b-ing unable "to compose a toilet for madame." A lady of high i fashion relates how she went to Worth | on one occasion to have a number of j dresses ma*le. Ho asked her to walk 1 across the room. It was a medium ! sized apartment. When she was about1 half acioss he called to her from the i sofa whero he was sitting : Madame, i that is enough ; I cannot invent a dress j for you; your figure does not please me. Good morning, madame." A mother! and daughter, oharming women, but newly rich and over-anxious about dress, wear the most exquisite toilets of Worth's composition, which are entirely unique. They have never been to Paris or "waddled through the Tuileries," vet Worth has seen them?that is, he has their life-sized pictures; he admires * them, and sends them poetical and ravishing dresses.

A New London (Conn.) correspond ent of the Springfield Republican writes: If not too weary with all this you will like to visit an Esquimaux fam ily about a mile from the fort. The captain of the Polaris brought some of these artic people here, a few years since, and this is now their adopted home. Eleven have been brought here, arr but six have died and three havo return j ed, leaving only Ebebing and Tukilitoo, i whose English names are Joseph and 1 Hannah. Hannah receives her guests with much cordiality, and talks freely of her northern home. She resembles the Chinese, and I suppose the Esquimaux belong to that race. When I called she was UrettBCU in UUU wuiw ?uvi noo quilting. She has a sewing machine, which she uses nicely. Sho makes far garm nts with wonderful skill. She speaks English quite well, and reads un derstanding ly. Joe is her husband. They lost their only child when it was about two years old. Its name was Tuckilickartar, which means little but terfly. Captain Buddington had its photograph taken after it died. They had an adopted daughter named Ishil atoo, but they called her Punny, which 1 means little girl. Punny died when she 1 was ten years old. When going to | school one very warm morning, she ran I rapidly to overtake her companions, and, being very fat, she became heated, and, sitting down in the shade, contract ed a cold which brought on consump tion. They suffer much here from the cold, as they have been accustomed to dress in furs, and complain that their clothes are full of little holes,that let the wind tiirougli. Hannan nnds Connecti cut housekeeping a little difficult, but still succeeds very well. I asked her if she was ever homesick, and she said: ' No ! this me home now." The other Esquimaux names are Hujesse, Eugnac, Cudlargo, Shuuarpignite, Abbe, Oose song and Italoo. They seem quite sus ceptible to religious impressions, and Hannah reads the Sabbath-school books with much interest. As few of that na tion have ever been brought to this country a deep interestattaches to them, and they are anxious for the elevation of their countrymen. Horrible Accident. One of the most painful accidents which it has for a lone time been onr duty to record, says the Leavenworth (Kan.) Times, occurred in the molding room of the Great Western foundry. A young man named Frederick Keiper, who was learning the trade, is the un fortunate victim. It seems that he was engaged, like the older molders, in car rying the molten iron h\ m the cupola or furnace to patterns, and while in the act of taking a full ladle of the seething | mass, weighing aj^hty pounds, across j the room, he strucE the bowl against the ! pattern board, which, by some accident, j bad been left with one end projecting j into the gangway, acd, as he was walk i ing rapidly, the contact of the ladle with the board threw him around in such a position that his left leg came in contact with the edge of the bowl, which, being held by a long, slim handle, was tipped over to one side toward his leg, spilling nlmnst. l'fra onf.iro mnfjiTifg ncninofc tlio leg of liis pantaloons, which, in a sec ond, was destroyed, and the red hot ! mass forced its way downward into the leg of his boot, and almost as soon burn ed through the bottom and ran out on the ground. Realizing that he was dangerously injured, the young man threw the ladle away and begun trying to remove the boot, at the same time calling for assistance. A colored man who is employed in the foundry ran to him and soon got his boot off, which took with it large flakes of skin. The wounded man was made as comfortable as possible until the arri val of a physician, who examined the j n0 wound, and discovered that the heel was | nearly burned off and that a semi-circle : of of flesh, reaching half way round the ankle, Across the bottom of the foot, was literally roasted to the bone. The whole foot will have to be amputated. the rta 8c< WL oot wh ret no] Ta .Bu tbi dec dri Don't Overtask the Young Brain. The minds of children ought to be lit tle, if at all, till the brain development is nearly ^ompleted, or until the age of 18, cal to 1 2>r< hie th( aci ha $11 tlx or seven years. And will those years be -wasted ? or will the future man be more likely to be deficient in mental power and capability than one who is differently treated ? Those years will not be wasted. The great book of na ture is open to the infant's and the child's prying investigation; and from nature's page may be teamed more use ful information than is contained in all the children's books that have ever been published. But even supposing those years to have been absolutely lost, which is anything but the case, will the child be eventually the loser thereby ? We contend with our author that he will not. Task the mind during the earlier years, and you not only expose the child to a greater risk of a disordered brain? not only, it may be, lay the foundation for a morbid excitability of brain, that may one day end in insanity?but you debilitate its bodily powers, and by so doing, to all intents and purposes, the mind will eventually be a loser in its powers and capabilities. A Kindly Act* The Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise says: A few days since a poor woman came here with three little children. She had neither friends nor money and one baby was in. one was anxious to get to a fori brother in Idaho, but the task seems J a be 1 hopeless one. She concluded to give a lecture which should con'sist simply of tho pathetic story of her struggle to take care of her little ones. She called Tin upon one gentleman in this city and asked him to buy a ticket. He said : 1 "My poor woman, go on with your lec- i ture, and after it is over como aud see | rj me again." She called again, and he ! tho! asked how her how much she lacked to ! 310 enable her to reach her friends. She logi told him. It was a pretty large sum, pte but the man immediately drew a check Jp for enough more than the amount named whi CO guard against accidents, and told the woman gently that if she was detained or got in trouble o?u the road to write to him. The woman told us all this with tears in- her eyes, and said he was an angel. There are some very sweet things connected with the possession of great wealth. What President's Were Worth.

There was once a man named Gud rand; lio lived at a solitary farm on the ope of a hill, therefore ho was called Gudbrand of the hill." Now this man ad a very excellent wife, a thing which ften happens, b^f; is not so common; fudbrand knew also the worth of sach treasure, so the couple lived in great eace and happiness, without thinking bout the progress of years and changes f fortune. Whatever Gudbrand did is wife had wished for beforehand, so hn.t t,hA cood man could not tonch anv [ling or change anything in his house rithout his wife thanking him for his ^rethought and kindness. Their life ras insured against anxiety; the farm 'as their own property, they had a undred solid dollars in the table draw r, and two stately cows in the meadow. .Tiey wanted nothing; they could grow Id in peace without fearing helplessness nd misery, without needing the pity or riendshipof others. One evening, as they were sitting hattering together about their work and heir plans, Gudbrand's wife said to iim: " My dear, I have a thought; you hall lead one of our cows to the town nd sell it. The one which we shall :eep will be quite enough to provide us rith butter and milk, why should we rouble ourselves for others ? We have aoney in the chest, we have no chil iren, would it not be well if we spared ur arms, now growing old ? Xou will Iways find something to do in the louse; there is first this then that piece if furniture to be mended and im and T. with mv SDinninc wheel. hall be able to stay a great deal more rith you." Gudbrand found that his wife was ight, as she always was. The very next [ay he led the cow which was to bo old to the town. But it was not mar ;et day, *fio he found no purchaser. Very well, very well," said Gudbrand, 11 shall lead my cow back home again, . have hay and straw for the beast, and he way is not longer to return than it ras to come.'' Then he quietly took he road homo. After a few hours, just as he begun 0 feel a little tired, he met a man who ?as leading a horse to the towr, a very trong animal saddled and bridled. 1 mk? ?f?ATT %a rt on/3 ifl j.Lio naj xo ivujj uuu uiguv soming on," thought Gudbrand; "1 hall not get home with my cow before nidnight, and then very early to-mor ow I shall have to begin the march inew. Thif Aa just the sort of beast 3 aight want, I should ride homg jroudly, like a magistrate; and how old Judbrand's wife would rejoice to see ter husband flDming home in triumph ike a general." Therewith ho stopped the horseman, nd bargained ?rith him to exchange the 0",7 i'or his horse. But when he sat in he saddle he felt something like re ;ret. Gudbrand was old and feeble, he horse was young and lively; after lalf an hour the cavalier had to go on oot and wearily led his horse by the iridle, for it shiecl and plunged at every tush bv the roadside. " A bad bar ain," he thought. Then he met a man driving a pig be arehim. "A nail which one really wants 3 more valuable thai; a diamond which parlJes and is good for nothing," tionght Gudbrand, "so my wife often ays," and he exchanged the horse for a ig. That was a fine idea; but the ood man had reckoned without his host -the pig was tired and would not move n inch. Gudbrand dragged the beast, e pushed it, he beat it with all his light, but all in vain! The pig re lamed lying in the dust like a ship tranded on a sandbank. Gudbrand was l despair. Now a man passed by leading a gout y a string; the goat sprung merrily be srehim. " That might be useful to me," nd unci Drana; ' jl wouia ratner nave tnac rolicsome goat than this stupid, lazy east." Thereupon he exohanged the ig for the goat. All went on well nough for half an hour. Then tho >ng-horned goat pulled Gudbrand on, rho laughed heartily at its jumps; but rhen one is no longer young, one soon ecomes tired of climbing over the rocks; o our farmer, when he met a shepherd rith his flock, did not hesitate to give is goat for a sheep. " I have got quite nough milk," he thought, "and this nimal is at least quiet, and will neither reary me nor my wife." Gudbrand was not wrong, there was othing quieter than that sheep. It howfid nn ill temner. it did not bntt. ut it did not go forward. It wanted to o back to the flock, and the more Gud rand dragged it, the more piteously it leated. "This stupid sheep," cried ludbrand, angrily, "itis more whin lg than my neighbor's wife; how glad should be if any one would release me :om this burden." " The bargain is made if you like, old illow," said a farmer, who was passing y. " Take this fat goose, it is worth b least as much as that obstinate sheep." So be it," said Gndbrand; "better to ave a living goose than a dead sheep," ad he took the goose with him. It was o light burden. The bird was a bad aveling companion; with beak and ings it made stout resistance. Gud rand was soon tired of the conflict. The goose," said he, "is a bad bird; ly wife would never like to have such a one hi her house." And at the first irmyard he passed on his way he ex iang d the goose for a splendid cock, 'his tine he was contented, but day was ist declining, and Gudbrand, who hi id ;arted before sunrise, felt his knees )tter and his stomach call for food. He atered the first public house he came ), and sold the cock for a dollar, and 3 he had a good appetite he gave away le last farthing to satisfy his hunger. What use would the cock have been to ie," lie thought, "if I had died of anger ?" When he came near to his own farm Gudbrand of the hill" begun t > reflect per the strange journey that ho had lade. Before he went homo ho talked xiut it in neighbor Peter's house, who as called the Greybeard. "Friend," said the Greybeard, "how id you get on with your business in ie town to-day ?" "So, so," answered Gudbrand, "I innot say that I had much good fortune, at I have not much to complain of;" id he related everything that had hap med to him. "Neighbor," said Peter, "you have 5ne a strange day's work, you will be idly received by your wife ; I would )t stand in your shoes for ten dollars." "I may have been right or wrong," id Gudbrand of the hill, "but my ife is so good she won't say a word to e about what I have done." "I have listened to you, neighbor, Ld am surprised at you ; but with all ie respect which I have for you I do )t believe a word of what you have Id me." " Will you bet that I am right!" said udbrand of the hill; "I have a hun :ed dollars in my chest, of which I will it you twenty. Will you do the same?" "Yes," said Peter, "and that on the >ot." When the wager was concluded, the 'o friends went into Gudbrand's house; ster remained standing at the room >or in order to hear what paflsec^Jje rpfln Ondhrftnd nn/-? Viin \rifo " Good evening," said Gudbrand. " Good evening," replied his wife; iB it you, my dear ? how has to-day ! ospered with you V " Not very well, not very well," said ( udbrand. " When I reached the \ wn, I found nobody who would buy j ir cow, so I exchanged it for a horse." ! " For a horse I" said his wife; " that j is a good plan. I thank you with all: y heart; w? can now drive to church I :e so many people who look down j >on us, and are no better than we | 3. If i. pleases us to keep a horse > have a right to do so, I think.

"I have not brought the pig with ( me," said Gudbrand; "on the way I f gave it up for a goat." t " Bravo 1" exclaimed the good woman; "you are a wise and clever man. The more I think about it the more I per- ^ ceive that the pig would not have been j useful to us. People would have point- j ed to us with their fingers, and said : j ' Look at those people ; they eat up everything that they earn.' But a goat * gives milk, gives cheese, to say nothing j of the kids. Take the goat into the . stable. j "Neither have I brought the goat x with me, said Gudbrand of the hill. .

"This I at once perceive," replied the mistress, "you '.lid so for my sake; am I still so young that I can run over J stones and rocks after a goat ? But a I sheep will give me its wool; take it into \ the stable." i "I have not brought the sheep," said Gudbrand. "I changed it for a goose." 1 "Thanks, many thanks I" said the 1 good woman. "What would be the * good of a sheep ? I have no loom? ( weaving is hard work; and when one 1 has wove one must cut and sew; it is better to buy ready-made clothes, as we } have always done; but a goose, a fat t goose especially, I have always wished t for. I already feel an appetite for roast ' goose; let me see the creature at onoe." J " But 1 nave not brought tne goose," j said Gad brand; "I exchanged it for a cock." "Dear friend," said the good wife, 1 " you are wiser than I; a cock is better < than a clock, which one has to wind up i every week. A cock crows every morn- 1 ing at four o'clock; he tells us when it is < time to praise God and work." i " Alas ! I have not brought the cock 1 with me; for as evening came on, I was 1 j as hungry as a hunter, and I was obliged to sell the cock for a dollar, or I should have died of hunger."

The handsomest sacks of real hand ! made guipnre, a fashion journal says, are of long, graceful shapes, with the seame of the shoulders and side forms fashioned by inch-wide insertions of j guipure in designs to match the piece j | lace of which the garment is made. This piece guipure comes in exceedingly fine qualities twenty-seven inches wide, end costs from $18 to $27 a yard. The sack when complete with a lace border is sold for $75. Sacks of similar designs and shape have real guipure border and in- 1 sertion, while the piece lace is of imita- , tion eniDnre: these cost from 820 to $30. Llama lace sacks are not so much sought after as they have been, hence short ones with slashed back and close Bleeves are sold in very fair quality as low as 87. Real'Chantilly lace sacks, ex quisitely line, but in the short shapes of last season, are reduced to $55, when they formerly brought 875 or $100. This shows the risk of inv?>sti:>g much monoy in those fanciful ^.aineuts that are always a passing fashion. Shawls, ' mantles, or scarfs aro susceptible of al i teration, and, indeed, seldom go entire ly out of fashion, but sacks cannot be changed into any other garment. Those ' who have short ones left on hand are 1 using them as house and afternoon 1 sacks over silk or muslin dresses. They 1 aro more dressy when sleeveless, and ? most llama sacks are woven so that the i sleeves can easily oe remove a. Jtretty and very dressy sleeveless sacks are made of lengthwise puffs of black Brus sels net alternating with black gros grain ribbon on inch wide. The net is held very slightly full in the puffing. The edge of tho garment is finished with a knife plaiting made of the net doubled. A Five Pound Dwarf. One of the most remarkable human beings ever seen in this country, says the New Orleans Jiepublican, or per haps in any other, arrived in this city recently, and is stopping at the St. Charles Hotel, with her parents, direct from Mexico, and unknown to the Amer ican public. This child, Lucri Zarate, was born at Vera Oraz, and is said to be twelve years old. She is twenty inches iiign and 19 saiu to weign scarcely more than Ave pounds. # Imagine a French doll walking and talking to yon and some idea of her appearance can be had. Standing on a parlor floor her head reaches to abont the seat of an ordinary chair, and yet her limbs and body are in all respeots well proportioned. Mrs. Belknap could get no more than one toe of her foot into the Mexican girl's shoe. Her head, abont as big as a man's fist, is well shaped and covered with soft, brown hair. The only thing out of line with her siee is her nose; that -was evidently made for a larger girl, but it will do. She has bright, black eyes, and is intelligent, convers ing with a little voice in the language of 1 her parents. She runs and plays about j the room as if she enjoyed her little life, j and salutes and bids adieu to her guests 1 with evident propriety. In the way of , I a joke she offered to carry a fat reporter j ( | on her back, and stoping over asked ! him to climb on her shoulders. The lit- j tie midgit will astonish any one who sees her, becanse she is so tiny and so j human. Standing by the side of Tom ^ Thumb she would reach his elbow, and [ the general would look like an over- i grown and bloated aristocrat. The lili- 1 putian is to be taken to the Centennial } Exposition, and stops here for a few g days to consult dolls' dressmakers about 1 I fashionable wardrobes for herself. i Failed to Get a Prize.

The humor spread over m to such an extent that I was rolled In bran to preren me from scratching my person. The disease flnall settled In my head. I remained In this oondltlon abou twenty years, troubled all the time with soree breakln in my bead and discharging corruption from my ear.
