"Miss Angeline," called Therese, "there's an organ-man at the gate with a real, live monkey I" Angeline jumped up so quickly that she nearly upset her doll-house, and ran ont upon the veranda. She loves animals dearly, and when she saw the odd little creature at the end of a long string come bowing and bobbing up the gravel walk toward her, she laughed alond In delight "Mamma! mamma!" she cried. "Come and see the funny monkey!" Angeline's mamma came to the door, and when she saw the monkey ste could not help laughing, too. He was dressed in a long scarlet gown, belted around his waist, and a little black velvet cap with a gilt bend, which he took off when he made his odd little i bow. The organ-man was playing "Dixie," and th* monkey began dancing to the music very prettily. When he had done dancing he turned a half-dozen somersaults in the grass, rolling over and over like a ball. Then he sprang up, made a very low bow to Angeline and her mamma, and hold out his cap for a penny. When Angeline had drop ped the penny Into the cap he took lt out quickly with his little black fingers, and stuffed it into a tiny pocket In the skirt of his gown. Then he climbed on Angeline's Inp and looked in her face with round, black, solemn eyes. "How much he looks to know, ma'am!" said Therese. "loo much!" answered Angeline's marama, b it neither Therese nor An geline quite knew what she meant. "Mamma," cried Angeline, suddenly, "I wonder If he would like to see my monkey-doll! Would you show it to him?" Therese ran to fetch the doll. It was almost as large as the live money, and looked as like him as one pea to an other. And when the monkey saw It, what do you suppose he did? First, he caught it In his queer little arms, stared into Its black ?ace, felt its bead eyes and its small, wrinkled cheeks, and hugged lt with all his might to the breast of his scarlet gown. Then he held lt at arm's length, looked lt quite over again, and kissed it twice on its odd, puckered month! When his master called the monkey, he tried to 'carry the doll with him, tripping over his gown as he dragged it along. "Lay lt down!" said the organ-man, sharply. The poor little fellow dropped the doll but as. he rode away on the top of the organ he looked back so wist fully that Angeline was ready to cry. "Therese," said she, "do you suppose the monkey thought the doll was his brother?' "How should I know, Miss Ange line?' said Therese, laughing, ?

A man "hould own his sugar orchard if ho -wants to make best quality of sugar. Whan he hires one he does not know what condition things were left in the year before, but if he hires he should hire the same one year after year. The first thing to do would be to cut ont all underbrush, especially the evergreens. This will cause the ground to freeze deeper and let the sun in among the trees in the sugar season. Cold makes sweet sap while sunshine makes sap mu. The less brush in the way the faster the sap can be gathered. Some roads are good to have, as they will save time and temper. In a small sugar place that is always gathered by hand a footpath will do. A road once made in a sugar place will last a lifetime if not used for other purposes. The sooner the sap is gathered, boiled down and made into sugar the better the quality of sugar. Ufe for Bona*. Someone suggests that there is a use for bones as a feed for j sultry, as an egg producer-especial' . as they can be thus employed, an' yet come in, in large part, as f. fertilizer, through the poultry manure. Let the farmer take his choioe and get all out of the bones that he can. If he has a bone mill, or a meat chopper, and eau reduce the bones small enough for poultry to readily swallow tho pieces, this will be the most economical plan. Bones, especially fresh bones, from the kitchen, are a capital egg pro ducer. It will pay ovou to beat the fresh bones line with an old axe, if oue has no bone mill, and feed them thus to the fowls. But the mill is far better, and every farmer keeping a few dozen hens can afford to purchase one of these mills. It is the best use to make of the fresh bones. But large, dry and hard boues, such as those of cattle and horses, had better bo reduced with ashes. Though, of course, even the driest raw boue, ground hue, is readily eaten by fowls, as every farmer knows who has ever applied raw bone as top dressing to grass land. Growing; Grain Fee-Is. It is sometimes a problem whether it would bo cheaper to buy commer cial fertilizers and grow more grain to feed out, or to buy more graiu. and make more and richor manure, and therefore have less need to buy fer tilizers. The solution of the question Beems to depend primarily upon the cheapness of land and labor. If a man in New England, especially near a manufacturing town, had to hire land and hire labor, we think he could employ them to better advantage in growing other crops for sale than to grow any kind of grain for feeding purposes. But the man who has plenty of idle land yielding but little, and help that he must keep the year through, either members of his family or that he must hire to do other work, we think can grow corn cheaper than he can bny it, if he so cares for his fodder as to get full value for it for dairy stock. Corn grows well upon soil that is not well adapted to some other crops and grows without the heavy manuring that would be re quired for market garden crops, while it is not exhausting to the soil, but leaves it in better condition to grow almost any crop than it was before the corn was grown. To Deo troy Moles. Some people clair- to believe that moles are a greater benefit than an injury, for the reason that they are almost wholly insectivorous in their diet. This X dispute. A mole will destroy seed corn after it has beeu anointed with tar from the southern pitch pines, while every other known animal and fowl, including crows, will pass it by. I think the great majority of farmers will favor their extermina tion. I therefore submit the fol low ing cheap and effective plan to destroy moles. Mix a proper quantity (no particular rule) of arsenic with corn dough,make a small hole into their roads here aud there and deposit a l?mp of dough in each, about tho size of a marble. Cover the holes with any convenient substance, snch as clods of dirt, to ex clude the light. Some years ago I bad a piece of land badly infested with moles that I wished to plant to 'sweet potatoes. Success depended ou first gettiug rid of the mole?. As a matter of experi ment I concluded to try corn dough and arsenic, as above. Two applica tions resulted in a virtual extermina tion. Some of the moles came out of the ground and soon after died. Other poisons may answer as well,but I know that arsenic can be relied on. The best time to apply is perhaps ia early spring, soon after the moles leave their winter quarters.-Bryan Tyson in Farm, Field and Fireside. Peut* or the Berry Patch. A great amount of work and watch ful care are necessary to make the berry patch profitable. First corned the strawberry with its disease and in sect pests. It is often subject to blight, which is injurious to both plant and fruit. It first shows itself npou the leaves in reddish, purple spots which soon turn lighter colored and finally white. Upon these spots a spore ;s formed which spreads the disease through the summer, while in the fall and winter a form is produced which infects the new leaves the fol lowing spring. Thus the fruit is de prived of its nourishment, and in some instances crops have been ruined. But if one starts a field with good, healthy plants, and sprays with Bor deaux mixture, there is generally but little trouble. The worst insect pest is that nuis ance of the farm, the cut worm. It is often very destructive, as it works on both roots and crown in feeding. The roots are often attacked also by the white grub and the strawberry root borer. The latter bores into the crown and down throngh the heart into the roots, usually killing the plant. The best remedy for this pest is to change the bed often, not raising more than two crops on the same ground. Pests of the raspberry and black barry are nnthracnoBe and rust. When infested canes are found we cut and bnrn and so end the trouble. The insect pests are many, among which are the true crickets, the red-necked agrilus and the raspberry saw-fly. The crickets weaken the canes by making a row of lougitndinal punct ures filled with eggs for several inches down the canes. These eggs are long and often mistaken for grubs. The surest way to get rid of them is to cut and burn the canes containing them. The faw-fly is a green, hairy slug, which works on the under side of the leaf, resembling it so olosely that one has to look carefully to de tect them. They cut irregular holes in the leaf, often nearly perforating it, Hellebore or the arsenitea are reoom* mended as remedies. When one stops to consider all the numerous diseases and pests with which the fruitgrower has to contend, it is not surprising that so many fail. "Eternal vigilance is the price of sue cess." The one who masters all diffi culties, by working understandingly, is the one who reaps the reward; while the slothful are ready to declare there is no money in fruit growing. True Cause or Fentlier Entine* An Iowa poultry grower, Mr?. f\ M. Jarvis, sends an account of loather eating in which the disorder is de scribed as contagious, and she ascribes the trouble to the presence of a min ute parasite which spreads from fowl to fowl and which she thinks waa probably introduced through purchase from an infected flock. Concerning this mite, a recently published leaflet of the board of agri en Un re of Great Britiau gives the fol lowing description: Feather-eating in poultry is duu to a minute parasitic mite (Sarcoptes laevis) atthe roots of the feathers. It is generally supposed to be due to a "vicions habit," nil" morons absurd th?orie", such as idle ness and thirst, having been pnt for ward to account for it. There are two kinds of feather eating, viz, "Belf feather-eating" and tho plucking of other birds' feathers. The former is chiefly due to the mites living upon and irritating the roots of the quills. The form on the fowl makeB its ap pearance nbont April and is most pre valent in spring and summer. The mites cnn he easily found among the white powdery matter at the base of the quill. The minnte young are transmitted during copulation. The fowl? plnck ont the feathers to destroy the irritation caused by the mites at their base. Lice, aUo, aro partly ac countable for feather-plucking. The birds in picking off the mites and lice pull out the feathers.-American Ag riculturist. Enlarging tho Herds of Live Stock. The average farmer who raises grain, fruits or vegetables, or makes a point of mixed farming, cannot do better than to give more attention to increasing the live stock on the farm. No farm should be without a fair number of cattle, sheep, swine, horses, poultry and general live stock. It is not necessary to enter into the busi ness of raising live stock for the mar kets so that it will interfere with the general farming, but on general prin ciples there is so much waste on a farm which animals alone can con sume profitably that it is essential for the highest success that live stook o' one kind or another should be kep. Nature never intended that the fan. shonld be devoted to one particular kiud of farming to the utter seclusion ol all others. The fruit orchardist who fails to raise at least a few hives ?f bees misses one of the chances for profit that has been put in his way. Liven if he only raised the honey for home use, he wonld secure his re iv ard a. Likewise the grass and hay Farmer, with his miles of rich clover, limothy and buckwheat, should have ? hive of bees for every two or three reres he putB under cultivation. Pigs go in clover and also in orchards, sheep supplement the work of the farmer in packing the soil around the rraBS roots, and in the orchard they ?dd fertilizers that are of the greatest raine. The waste irait of the orchard trill go a long way toward feeding the pigs. Then the grain and corn waste 'eed the dairy cows, and the waste nilk and cream from the latter can be mt to no better use than for pig feed ng. So one could go through the tvholo list of farm animals and show low one is intimately connected with mother, and the whole with the gen sral farm crops. After all bas been ?aid for the farm specialist, we must idmit that the ideal farming is that There a variety of crops are raised to ?nit a variety of farm animals. In a ; y st em economically and iutelligent jeutly conceived there should be ab lolutely no waste whatever, and there iced be none. It is simply because ve do not raise enough animals or a sufficient variety to consume all the jy-productB of the crops, lt is true hat the number of these animals must rary with the years. When corn ia iig?i priced it will pay to Bell more md to reduce the number of live stock lependent upon it for their food. On he other hand, when grain is plenti nl and cheap, increase the grain-eat ng animals and poultry, and sell the ood in tho form of moat and eggs, in tend of grain by the bushel. A little tudy of the markets and of the best vay to reduce costs and increase prof ts will enable the plain, every-day armer to realize more on his assets han he does today.-C. S.

There can hardly e any doubt but that the practice f bowing the head originated in xposing the neck to the stroke of ho sword.

The percolation experiments made at Ret hams ted for about 20 years have shown that in the winter months more than half the amount of rain pene trates iuto the soil and is available for springs, while in summer this amount only reaches a quarter that of rain. Three gauges were used, each having an area of one-thousandth of an acre. The water was collected at three depths, and was always greater in quantity at -10 inches than at 20 or at 60. Wherever land is valuable for agri cultural purposes the fact that wire feuces take up little space is becom ing moro and more recognized. Some stone fences are often three to six feet wide, and therefore, waste many ncres of valuable soil on every farm. The zigzng fence waslos a considerable amount of land. The hedge is nlsc wasteful and they may profitably all be torn down and replaced by wire fences, for the crops which could be obtained from the area thus reclaimed would Boon pay for the fouce. Dr. William Gaiter, a scientist ot Washington, claims to have solved a problem that has been puzzling the wise men of the earth for 3000 years, and says that he has devised a method to utilize the heat of the sun as a sub stitute for fuel and power.

Thore are several kinds of toothache, due to very different causes, and as not all sorts are capable of relief by the same means, it is useful to be able to distinguish among them. One form of toothache is due to dis ease of the tooth itself, another to disease of tho parts about the tooth, and still another to neuralgia of the nerves, the teeth themselves being perhaps perfectly sound. The most common toothache is caused by congestion or inflammation of the pulp of a tooth. The pulp is a soft material filling the centre of the tooth and serving as a bed for the nerve and the blood vessels. When the blood vessels are charged, as they are in case of congestion or inflamma tion, the pulp is com pressed, sin ce tho hard walls of the tooth prevent ex pansion, and so the nerve is pressed upon aud becomes painful. The ache so caused is fierce and throbbing (a jumping toothache). It is worse when the sufferer stoops or' lies down, and is increased by contact' with cold or hot water or food, with' sugar or salt, or with the air. The The only difference between the pain of a congested tooth-pulp and that cf an inflamed pulp is that the latter is' worse. If in a case of toothache of this kind there is a cavity resulting from decay of the tooth, the pain can usually be relieved by the insertion of a little pledget of cotton soaked in oil of cloves. Severe toothache may be caused by inflammation of the socket of the tooth, which may go on to au abscess, with swelling of the face and great distress. In this case the tooth is sore when tapped or pressed upon. The pain is severe and continuous not intermittent as in inflammation of the pulp-and is usually relieved a little by cold, but aggravated by heat Sometimes relief is afforded by cold applications to the cheek; but of course a dentist should be consulted as early as possible in order that the inflammation may be controlled before it results in tho formation of an abscess. The worst form of toothache, or at least the most obstinate, is usually a neuralgia. In this case there is not apt to be swelling,the teeth are Bound and the pain is not increased by sweets or salt, or by moderately cool or warm food.-Yonth's Companion. Ono? l'rcmlf? Inhabited Europe. Excavations in southern Germany have just established the fact that in prehistoric times Europe was inhab ited by pygmies. Strangely enough the discovery of actual and convincing testimony to that effect in southern Germany has been announced almost simultaneously with the news of simi lar discoveries in Switzerland and in the Pyrenees. So now there is proof that Herodotus aud Homer were not "yellowing" when they told of dwarfs that lived in wooded hills aud cav-ea far north of Borne and Greece. The skeletons which have beon found are so small that they can be placed into an ordinary museum drawer. None of them is longer than 55 inches, and many are smaller. There is no doubt that they are the skeletons of leal dwarfs. The bones prove that the bodies were those of adults. The finds have been mounted and are now being exhibited in the National Museum of Switzerland in Basle. Scientists think that the little! people lived in neolithic times. Vint iori nc Connotation.

Lon; Before the Civil War He Wove Coats of Mall as a Side Line. "About two years ago," said a Poy dras street business man, "there died at the Charity Hospital an eccentric old German, who once upon a time fol lowed the queerest trade in the world. He was a maker of coats of mall. Long before the war he had a little jewelry shop on the north side of Canal street, and the coat-of-mall business was a sort Of private side line. The armor he then made was composed of small links of very hard steel, woven to gether flo compactly that one could not thrust even a pin through the Inter stices, and lt was said that the 'coats' would tum either a knife or bullet. They were fashioned something like a sleeveless undershirt, and were intend ed to be worn immediately beneath the outside garment. In those days the use of such devices was popularly at tributed to fellows who wanted to se cure an unfair advantage in duelling, and the reputation of wearing one un der any circumstances was fatal to a reputation for courage. Consequently the old German didn't go to any pains to exploit his business, and his cus tomers must have come to him through many devious channels. I knew the old chap quite well when I was a boy, and I have often seen him putting the mall together in his little back room. He got the links from Germany and they came In long single-strand chains, which he fastened together with small steel rings, thus building up a fabric like knitting a stocking. The coats were made over a wooden form, shaped like a man's torso, and were astonishingly light. After the war broke out a good many men bought them openly, as a legit! mate protection, and for a while the old man had more business than he could attend to. I went Into the army and lost sight of him until some years after peace was declared. When I en countered him one day, working as a journeyman watchmaker, I asked at once whether he made any more chain armor, and he laughed and said It had gone out of fashion. I believe, how ever, that he used to still make a coat now and then for some crank up to the time of his death. Of late years he quit active business and lived In quiet retirement out n?nr St. John's bayou."-New Orleans Times - Demo crat The Weekly Newspaper. In commenting on the low subscrip tion price asked for the average weekly newspaper, the Atlanta Constitution remarks editorially: That many weekly newspaper pub Ushers have committed a grave mis take in dropping their prices of sub scription, must now bo as evident to themselves as it is to others. No doubt the idea was caught from an im pression that weekly issues from large cities were sold at a lower prioe, and that there was a rivalry to be met. In the first place there was no rival ry, since that was a physical imposai bility. The weekly newspaper is the chronicle of the local community, just as the city paper is that of the whole country. It would be as preposterous for the city paper to attempt to fill the field of the local paper as it would be for the latter to replace the former. Their aims and missions are different, and in no way can they displace each other. Tho weekly newspaper results from the existence of a local oommunity which has business ventures, politioal ideas and social ventures of its own. The more important these interests are the more perfectly the newspaper be comes their exponent, the more indis pensible it is to the people. There fore, a community which will not sup port its local newspaper furnishes but mighty poor campaigning ground for the city paper. The latter comes in as an addenda to a good work which is already going on, as an evidence of a sharpened appetite for reading. The first duty of every progressive community is to have its local newspa per, which should be liberally sup ported, and which should not be held in competition with any city publica tion. A poor representation would reflect upon the town; a good appearance gives the town character abroad. What, then, does the community owe the publisher? Certainly it owes him that return which would have to be given to the lawyer, the commercial man or any other public servant. The weekly newspaper publishers should awake to their mission and in sist npon the support which is their due. The town which does not sup port its local paper has no claim to consideration either at home or abroad. Do Toar Feet Ache and Barn? Shake into your shoes Allen's Foot-Ease, a powder for the feet.
