BING FOR THE BRIDEGROOM. Society belles have revived, or arc trying to revive, the old Italian custom, dating from mediceval times, of the bride presenting the bridegroom with a ring. The ring is of iron or steel, wrought with letters of caballistic meaning, inlaid with gold or silver, and lometimes Bet with a precious etone. "May God protect the wearer," in Arabic characters, is a favorite inscription. Moonstones or star sapphires, protecting the wearer from evil; or weird red and green Alexandrites, are often set in these rings.?New York World. SLESVE EFFECTS.

That Queen Victoria attended in person the wedding of Sir Henry Ponsonby's daughter a few weeks ago has already been mentioned. The announcement of her gracious intention to do so is thus described: Her majesty was discussing with Lady Ponsonby,her whilom maid of honor, the details of the approaching ceremony one day, and at length inquired: "And is the wedding to be a very large and crowded one?" To ' which Lady Ponsonby replied: "Far from it. The house in Ambassador's court WOUICI not permit 01 a crown; it is to be very select." "In that case," responded the Queen, ''perhaps there will be room for an old lady among the guests?an old lady like me and Victoria's godraothei ?" The bride's mother gave a delighted assent to this suggestion.? Chicago Post. A SHADE HAT. Green straw is intertwined with pith to form a shade hat for the beach.

WIFE OF THE TOET TENNYSON. ' Frederick Dalman, in the Istdies' Home Journal, pays a gallant tribute to ! r.ndv Tennvson. the wife of the laureate. She is, he writes, entirely unknown to English society, excepting the villagers of Farringford and Aldworth. Few others have so much as seen her face or shaken her by the hand. On that June morning in 1850, when she joined her lot with that of Arthur Tennyson, she need not have been a prophetess, or the daughter of one, to have foretold her husband's greatness. No wife could ! have carried the doctrine of coverture further; no wife have contented herself : with complete self-effacement as regards the world iu which Lord Tennyson fills so important a place. Pilgrims, like Emerson and Hawthorne, to the poet's i residence in the fair isle and sunny Sussex have had scarcely anything to say concerning her. Lady Tennyson ha3 , been content to remain in the background, an admiring auditor of her husband's animated conversation. It has been said that clever men should iiot marry clever women, and if that means that genius should not be united to genius, talent to talent, the aphorism is, perhaps, perfectly true. But the woman who mates with a man of genius and finds martial happiness, says Mr. Dolman, must have lifted herself somewhat above the commonplace to become her husband's sympathizer and confidante. In ministering to a great poet's daily needs Lady Tennyson has exhibited qualities such as no mere drawing-room dowager or society butterfly could have shown. She has fed his esthetic feelings, studied his sense of the beautiful. In the large mansion near Freshwater, as well as in the summer house on the hill | overlooking Haslemere, there is that | sweet, calm and harmonious beauty which pleases the poet's temperament and which only educated taste and deft workmanship of a wife can produce. In the white stone house, with its ivied wails and flower-bedecked terraces, equally with the little Gothic structure that Mr. Knowles, the eflitor of the Nineteenth Centuj-y, designed, the traces of Lady Tennyson's care are visible in drawing-room and library, in smokingroom and study. Every meerschaum pipe, every oaken stick of the master's is religiously guarded from sacrilegious hands. With this selfsame spirit of devotion she has inspired all her children. So far as the most intimate friends can say there has never been the slightest rift in the Tennyson household during its forty years of union. FASHION NOTES.

Of the high ones, the lowest are two inches. The 1 highest are nine in the back and as high [ in front as a woman's chin will permit.

Tiiere seems to oe an agreement among all the results of tests with potatoes that good, average-si zed, well-ripened tubers need to be used for seed; that they need to be planted with plenty of room for healthy growth, and kept clean of weeds and bugs. Beyond this there are differences of opinion, doubtless due to variety used, kind of soil, and character of the season. There is very little exact mathematics about potato-growing.?American Agriculturist. LIME AND PHOSPHATE ON RYE. Lime in itself is not a direct fertilizer, and you could never make your land rich by applying it. On light soils it is often useful in hastening the decomposition of vegetable matter already in the land, and this, when decomposed, becomes nutriment for the growing plants. By applying phosphates jou secure whatever lime may be required for your crops and in a far better and more available form than can be obtained in caustic lime. Use whatever coarse manure you have and then top dress with phosphates and in as large amounts as you can afford for a crop of rye.?New York Sun. THE COLOR OF NEWLY SHORN WOOL. "Wool of a light open quality where the sheep have beea kept in clean pastures if neatly rolled up will look, when first shorn, as white as wool that has been washed on the sheep; cases have occurred where buyers not very careful or well posted have passed divided fleeces efsuch wool as fleece washed. "When stored awav in bulk or sacked, it soon changes to a yellowish color that tells its true character, and it does not then require an expert to detect it. The practice of washing wool upon the 6heep is yearly becoming less common, both dealers and manutacturcrs preferring to buy it on its merits as it is shorn from the 6heep.?New York World. GARDENERS PURCHASING SEEDS. The fact that market gardeners buy the eeeds they use indicates that this is generally best for others who grow garden vegetables. The market gardener sells the earliest and best-grown fruits, getting prices that are above what the seed would britg. Besides, in the small area of most market gardens there is not chance to separate varieties liable to mix, and seed thus grown would be worse than useless. Those who make seedgrowing a business are obliged to own or rent several places, thus keeping the different kinds separate. This is most true of melons and cucumbers. Same mixing is always possible, as bees carry pollen from flower to flower to a much greater distance than the wind is likely to do. Seeds by the pound are usually sold cheaper, as well as better than any gardener could grow the small quantity he needs. There is advantage in this division of labor,the seed grower being equally unable to grow market vegetables for lamily use as cheaply as he can buy them. | ?Boston Cultivator. GEESE. In selecting geese, choose fro.n the Toulouse, Bremen or Chinese varieties. The Toulouse and Chinese are gray, the Bremen white. They require only moderate feeding. We prefer allowing the geese to incubate their own eggs. When the goslings are hatched retain them until about a week old. Feed them a little bread or meal, but they will live chiefly on grass and water. The water should be placed in a shallow dish, sunk into the earth until the top is level with the ground. The dish requires to be shallow. We had a friend who lost five young goslings by having a bucket sunk as above. The old birds splashed about half of the water out, and the young birds going in were drowned. When a week | old allow them to go until fall, when they should be fattened the same as turI keys. When picking a goose submerge j the bird in water almost boiling hot,then J then wrap in a coarse linen and place near the Sre to dry. This is much beti ter, easier and quicker than removing the feathers by the old method. Bring your griose in a nice condition to market.?Farmer's Advocate. CHEMICAL IIORJi KILLERS. Caustic potash for checking horn growth on calves seems to be lully as effectual as any of the fluids put up for that purpose. The potash may be obtained at any drug stroe; it comes in 6ticks about the size of a lead pencil,and j five cents' worth will suffice for fifteen or I twenty calves. The work, to be most effectual and satisfactory,should be done as soon as the little buttons can be definitely located on the calf's head,say from three days to two week's of age. Clip the hair away from the embryo horn with a pair of Ecissors, then with the tip of the finger moisten with water the horn that is to be operated-on first. Care must be exercised not to let any drops of water run down the calf's head from the horn, for if it does, the dissolved potash will follow the same channel and cause unnecessary suffering. After moistening the little horn button, take a stick of the petash and wrap a picce of paper around it, leaving a half inch of the lower end exposed. The purpose of the paper is to prevent the fingers coming in direct contact with the potash. Hold the stick i? the hand as one would a pencil, and rub it all over and around the base of the embryo horn; keep the horn moistened while the potash is being used. As soon as the.skin begins to softer up and peel off the horn, and it commences to look red, a3 though the blood was starting through, it is enough,and the other horn may then be treated in a like manner. I have never, in my experience, found a Eecond application necessary. Whatever potash may be left after the work is performed should be corked up air-tight In a bottle, eo that the moisture in the air .will not dissolve it.?Farmer? lievieu:. UNPROFITABLE PLOWING. There arc two reasons for plowing? the need of burying a surfacc growth of sod under the soil, where it will decay and add its elements to the general stock of food plant, and the need of lightening the soil so that the air and sunlight can permeate it and make available the plant food already there. The mechanical moving of the soil is designod to accomplish these results and secure a proper seedbed for the crops to be raised. But plowing at its best is slow, laborious and expensive. In the inverI lioa of the sod the plowshare ia the only available agent so far. There is serious ground for question whether farmers as a whole do not rely far too much upon th this implement in the preparation of N their laud. "When a field has been es planted for one season, and the crop j pi given clean culture so that no weed | w growth is left in the fay. it ought to be : cc put in first-class condition for sowing, I D either then or in the following spring by w the use of one cf the modern cultivators C? or harrows, constructed with the disc or cs cutaway. Old land that is properly tc drained ought to work up into a perfect le seedbed by such treatment, being stirred fij as deeply as it would be by the plow, si and pulverized much more finely. As a 2. matter of fact the plow does not break cc and pulverize the soil as much as is de- as sirable, unless a narrow furrow is made, bi The tendency of most shares is to throw st the earth bodily from one position to an- T other. With one of the harrows mentioned the soil is thoroughly stirred, hi pulverized and lightened to as great a hi depth as one may desire, and at an la expense for labor that is trifling com- fe pared with the operation of plowing. bi The natural objection to such a course ti on the part of many would be that old tc land is often more or less covered with w grass and weeds after the crop is re- sc moved. There is the rub! Poor farm- af ing one season necessitates increased bi labor in the following. Not only did st those weeds help to exhaust the land, hi rob and crowd the growing crop, but cc they also make it necessary to plow the cc field for the next crop, so that their tops uj and roots may be gotten out of the way. a\ Clean culture will obviate this difficulty go and pay well, not only in the subsequent m care of the land but in ttte increased | t>i crops that follow.?American Agricul- io turist. ir n FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. ih Hens like seclusion. It is best to darken the place for a hen's nest. A hen-nest made of soft cut hay or chaff is as good as any. re In a majority of cases the failure is 3c due to the eggs and not the incubator. lb Professor Cook says that orchards 91 "should never be sprayed till the blossoms 'f fall." II the young chickens are confined in w coops at night they should be let out ri early in the morning. Plant a row or two of sunflowers along . the side of the corn. The seed make a . gooa winter poultry feed. % Linseed oil is said to be a remedy for m black knot on the plum if applied to the n, knot upon its first appearance. g Guineas will begin laying almost any s< time now, and a close watch need be k kept if their eggs are secured. d Yellow manure of poultry is an indication of liver trouble, and a good cathartic can be given with benefit. Plenty of gravel, a good supply of burnt bones pounded fine with lime and ^ ashes, all tend to keep the fowls in t health. c In fattening in confinement better j results will be secured by having the a nlaces iust licht enouch for the fowls to f ft t? O w see how to eat well. r The drinking water in the poultry i yerd should be changed two or three s times every day regularly. Pure water t is essential to good health. i Never try to save work. One-half of the failures occur from parties desiring the incubator to work without attention. Too much faith in tbe regulator is dan- (. gerous. You mustalways be "on dcck." 1 Tf rightly managed, an incubator will ^ pay hr itself the first hatch, but there is more in i.1: than in the incubator. Brains make an important factor. Learn all you can by observation. I Disease germs are said to be rapidly j killed by sunlight, a few minutes suffic- t ing for those fully exposed, and a few j hours where in mass. Tubercle bacilli ? died in six to seven days in the light of ? a window and in compact masses. There f is a lesson in this. J Spccial experiments as to peach-yellows show that no fertilizer to the soil or h application to the tree will arrest it, and * that nromDt eradication of every infected ] tree, as soon as the disease shows, is the I only resource. Its extension in Delaware " and Maryland is threatening in the ex- I treme. | In hatching ducks' eggs under hens the incubation differs from hen3* eggs only in the fact that ducks' eggs pip at twenty-five to twenty-six day3, instead of nineteen, 'as with chicks, and also that they generally pip from thirty-six to forty-eight houra before emerging from the shell. In a cold stable much more feed is I required than in a warm one. It is j cheaper to warm the cows with a tight ' | stable than with extra feed; and a com- j | fortable stable will be comfortable for i the milker. He will take more pains to get all the milk, and will not be cross to the cows. For nearly twenty years, saya Hoards Dairyman, we have counselled the dairy farmers against letting their cows run out when cold rain storms or snow storms occur. It is one of the most h wasteful things in the world to do. The t farmer keeps these cows for the milk they give, yet he will expose them to a beating rain storm, when he knows that such a practice will shrink their milk greatly. Long drying does not kill the consumption germ. It is not found in the air breathed out from the lungs of the patient, but in the matter coughed up. It is criminal to deposit this matter -r carelessly around, where in time it may be changed to dust. Effectual ways of ^ destroying this poisouous matter are ^ to burn or to bury it in the ground, coveriog each deposit with fresh wood- 5 ashes or limedust. While whitewash on the wr.lls of the ? hen-house inside gives light and renders q the house cheerful, it is cheap enough to ^ use on the outside a9 well. To those who do not care to use paint we will J state that if they will use whitewash on the outside they will be surprised at the -I neat appearance it will impart to the ; a hen-house and fences. It may be washed _ oil some by the rains, but that should be no obstacle to its use, as it is easily and quiekly applied. Bitter butter is not the fault of the cow, but of the farmer, being due to keeping cream too long befuro it is churned, which happens with those who have but one or two cows, and who keep the cream until enough accumu- lates for a churning. Good butter can J not be made from old and new cream ? mixed. Cream should be churned while ^ it is in the best condition, as any mis- I takeB made with the handling of the milk or the cream affect the butter. ^ _1 Jtljstcry of a Wreck.
