BIO ikt?s IN.L?NDOpf? , ~?~_ f a eel Paid for ?toajicllss Ia Arls Pretty nearly everybody under .'^stands, of course, that'house rents are very considerably greater in London than they are in provincial towns and that In the metropolis they vary great ly and are very stiff in the regions -"-'where society hovera. But a writer In .^nt-B?ts Ventores ?o think that even few Londoners have much idea of the enormous figures paid for the rentals t of fashionable houses In Belgravia and Mayfair or realize how few square ie west, end it takes to pro lkm sterling In this way. . ...Jsoiw, take, to start with,. Parktone, that highly fashionable thoroughfare. ? It is rather staggering to learn that $50,000 a year is really not at all a very extravagant rent to pay for a good house In this quarter. The plain, simple fact of the matter is, however, that yon cannot get a decent house here for less than $15,000, and even such a one would only have three or four bedrooms and, generally speaking, would not have greater, accommoda tion than a house at $230 or $300 a year in the suburbs or at half that price 1n a provincial towtt-^ * V -' Grosvenor square and Berkeley square are renowned headquarters of society, which pays astonishingly for I its residence there. Consider the former first. The whole square comprises fewer than sixty houses, but it ls a fact that their com bined annual rental Is about $750,000. Big as the rents are, getting a house here ls a matter of great difficulty, and seldom ls there one to let for long. Nothing can be got for less than $5,000 a year, and from this figure an In tending tenant may go up to $30,000 a year. <*"'MI ?*? *?**.**.".?'*.'?...??"<. Berkeley square ls likewise difficult to get'Into. It is rather old fashioned and severe, and. the average man or woman from, tlx; country might not be able to see anything about the houses which w;ould justify a heavy, drain be ing made upon, a tenant's pocket But.. all the Same, houses here are always at a premium, and you will not get much of a residence for $2,500 a year, nor yet,-so far as that goes, is the-ac commodation very astonishing if $10, 000 a year Is:paid. - . ; ' ' St James' square ls another ultra fashionable quarter which a million aire might have to wait years to get In to if he?^i??*lT?*t?vetherei-$lJ5,000 or $20,000 a year is quite a moderate rent for a House so situated-while Norfolk House, where the Duke of Norfolk resides; and such others as Lord Derby's residence, at 33, would easily realize $50,000 a year In rent. ' Carlton House terrace, where states men and embassadors live, also costs Its tenants dearly. At least $20,000 a year must be paid for anything good in this particular neighborhood, and ?fe,^Stor gave;more than $300,000 ?wken he purchased one of .the houses the terrace, formerly occupied by Lord Gran ville.

A hog with a weak leg and a poor foot ls not a profitable hog for the feeder, for, when a bog's foot IB sore and be is lame, be docs not fatten or :grow, hence the-Importance of having good feet "and strong flinty bone in our commercial bog. The butcher bas no "j?se?or 10 or 20 Ib3 more cf bone to "each liog. Lnrge, coarse, spongy bone has had its day and is not wanted now by anyone. The experiment stations have conclusively proved the fact that the bone of the animal can be hardened, strengthened and improved by the food given. Bone meal can bo fed to hogs In some Instances profitably and Is recommended by some, but wood ashes v.ill answer all purposes and can be had mostly without any outlay of money. Isnprovinz Hard Soil. In the field which I sowed to clover, there was a corner that was so dry and such stiff clay that it would not produce either grans or grain. When ever lt got a little dry lt would become so hard that no crop would grow on it I used it for setting my corn stover on last spring and there were a few sbatterlngs left on it in the spring. When.I sowed my clover I scattered seed over that patch, ns well as the other part of the field. I noticed that the clover grow better there than on any other part of the field. I am of the opinion that such land may be made to yield good crops,by scatter ing a thin coating of straw of other rough fodder on lt and sowing to clover. The mulch will Tiold moisture sufficient to grow clover, and the clover crop and t^e mulch are both in clined to loosen the soil and cause it to bold moisture afterwards.-A. J. Legg, in The Epltomlst A Device to Save the Swnrm. Every person who bas kept bees has bad a varied experience as to saving the escaped or escaping swarms. Some are sure to get away thc best one can do. A writer in the Germantown Tele graph tells his-method ns follows: "I have used a device like this: Toko a piece of board, say 10 or 12 inches squares bore nine or ten inch holes In It, and In each of these holes stick a corncob. Get a light stick 14 to 18 feet long, Insert one end in this board, and "when y?r?r bees swarm elevate these cobs, and carry It around among the bees where.they seem to be thickest, and they ore quite sure to settle on them.. Then you have only to empty them'down before the already prepared hive. You see, this saves climbing into trees, cutting off limbs and lowering ;thOTrdown;"which ? needs fi' careful h;ind, and even then,, for.one cause or 3i?nother,-<h?y ar? jarred off, and the work has to-be done.over. This scheme . 8?mplrfieVm?tters,-is very practical, Is easily done, and there is no patent on lt" Proper. Snpport* for Tomatoes. It is better for the plant and better lu keeping the fruit denn and healthy to have an adequate support for the main stalk. As soon as the fruit be comes heavy it will either break down the plant or bend it so as to rest on the ground; if the latter, lt ls liable to de cay. The common way IS to tie a firm stake; 'wooden bnrrel hoops are used and sometimes one long strip of board is made to support five or six plants. A writer In Orange Judd Farmer suggest! that for garden use where only a few tomato plants are set some-kind of an inclined support or trellis will give ? better results than ty?rfg the'plnnts to a stake or letting them fall to the ground in a tingled mass. "In the use of stakes," says the writ I er, "they, will require frequent tyings, cflnd, when;not supported they fall to ' the grorrhd. By contact with the poll or in the absence of a free circulation of air, or In the humid atmosphere, the fruit often decays before it Is ripe, or when partly ripened. Thlsvtrouble ls e?tlrely^oldcd or greatly-lessened ny the us?,of to simple!support", ? trellis, suggested by L. D. Snook, is simply four or fire strips of bonrds two or three inchcB wide, nailed to crosspieces , as shown. The upper end of cross "strips has an inch bole bored In each one, into which short supports are placed.' By another method quite similar the supports are hinged to the main frame, rendering lt more portable and easy for storing away. In either p??rr varions angles may be'obtained. Set the rows of plants east and west, placing the support close to the plants upon the north side. One advantage of these supports ls that they are portable and can be kept over from year to year. Keeping Chickens In Good Hoalth. There ls but little use to study di ..rectjons for feeding.poultry unless they ?cah be* kept healthy. Three-fourths and perhaps more of the diseases of poultry are due to the one cause, filth. Much has been said by poultry writ ers about the necessity of keeping their Sleeping quarters clean, removing the droppings under the roosts, and ' using kerosene about roosts, nest boxes .and. walls, or spraying with kerosene emulsion or carbolic acid to keep down -the Insect pests, until lt seems as If we might think every one who keeps poultry bad learned that lesson. But there ls another point on which less has been.said and which ls more ne glected by the poultry keepers thnn lt has been by the writers, and that ls having clean yards for them. There i? no better way to do this than to spade or plow jip the^ord each year, anacin the fall; sow rye on lt keeping the hens out of it or giving them the ian of .bmVagp^tt of; lt during the win ter. Thl3 cleanses the soil, and gives the hens green feed in the spring. Where one can have . two yards to each house it is an' improvement to let the ?jens ..tjse them alternately, de Vbtlnfe one each year to the growing of sufcb crops as lettuce, cabbage, rape, ste, to throw over nato tba other. Tho sprinkling of tbs yard with laud plas tor, Bowing lt thickly, does well as a temporary expedient When this la done there need be no fear of gapes. Soaking the earth In the house and yard with a solution of one pouud of sulphate of copper In a gallon of water serves as a disinfectant and Bhould not be neglected when diarrhoea ap pears among the flock, simply sprink ling lt nbont is not enough, but give lt a good soaking. If applied. Just before a rain it might be used much stronger, keeping tue fowls out of it until it bad woll soaked lu or dried up. How to Make the 8heep ruy. Sheep have an advantage over most form animals by virtue of the mar ketable qualities of the carcass and wool. When wool ls In fair demand nt reasonable prices it should pay for the keep of the sheep, with interest on the Investment, and sometimos a little profit additional. If the wool will do this why should a farmer ask for more? Sometimes the cry ls heard that wool does not pay. What la meant by this generally ls that a cer tain good profit from the wool alone cannot be made each yenr over and above expenses. Even If wool doe? not pay lu this way the sheep cnn be made to pay. If the wool will bring In enough to pay for the keep of the sheep and the Interest look nt the profits that should be made In many other ways. The lambs should then represent clear profit and after the ewe has seen its best dayB of useful ness there is always a market for lt Here ls another profit that is not com monly counted in, for the cost of the ewe is figured up at so much a year, and the price received for it hardly seems to pay for the keeping. One must, In order to. be fair wltn the sheep, figure out the different profits from the wool, the Iambi and the mutton. It-ls a poor year, Indeed, when the wool cannot be made to pay for the keep of the sheep, and wltn prices BB they are now It can be made to bring in a good deal more. One man of course makes more In this way than another, because he Is able to study the economy of feeding better, and sometimes the conditions for rais ing food cheaply are in his favor. But I no one who attempts to raise sheep for a living can afford to neglect Inti- | mate and constant study of th!s side , of the question. The feeding that will j keep the sheep in good condition and cost the least possible sum ls wbat we | are all aiming at The lambs should be made a regular part of the crop, almost ns regular as the wool, and the lambs must be raised at the right seas ons to bring the greatest protit A good ewe that will drop a lamb regu larly and rear lt without trouble is a desirable animal. Bnt there ls always a tendency to keep good ewes that pro duce valuable wool and good lambs too long. Remember that the carcass of the ewe' fcself fc* a part of the busi ness, and do not keep the animal so long that it will die on your bands or have no marketable value, lt ls netter to raise a few crops of wool and lambs from ber, and then send her to market raising meanwhile a good lamb to take her place. In this way we keep up a constant change in tbe personnel of the Hock, and never have any <^a creatures that have outlived their use fulness-E. P. Smith, in the American Cultivator. Short and U>ernl Point?. Dirty cans will spoil any milk. Soapsuds are sure death to forest worms.. Parch some corn for tbe hens oc casionally. Judicious breeding ls the forerunner of Improved stock. As soon as yon And a buyer at a fair price let the stock go. lt is a good pinn to nave some pigs to sell at different times of the year. Fowls allowed to run at large In an orchard do an infinite amount of good. Tile progressive hog-raiser strives for a smaller and earlier maturing animal. To be profitable a dalry cow ought to make at least a pound of butter a day. When you keep but a few fowls lt ls an easy matter to overfeed. LOOK out for this. When setting out trees or plants always thoroughly mix the manure with the soil. Wetting the fodder when fed with grain or when fed nlone makes lt more digestible. The cost-of raising a good cow ls Just the same as for a poor one. Get all you can for yoiir money. Why is it tlie fnrmers do not eat a larger amount of poultry? On some farms poultry ls a luxury. In taking Into consideration the cost and trouble In raising them, guineas are among the profitable fowls. Hens always lay round eggs; but If fed properly yon will find that they always keep mattere square with you. When transplanting trees always bear in mind that old ones require more cutting back than the younger ones do. Two extremes thnt arc good to keep away from-the "hind-foot extreme of a mule and the "horned-head extreme'* of a bull. Experience teaches that farms, like men, grow old and wornout. The form is at an advantage though, for Ita youth can be renewed. Don't allow fresh paint of any kind near the milk-house or milk cans. You won't have painted milk, but there will be a lot of tainted milk. A Kansas farmer recommends spray ing pigs for lice. It ought to be a good plan; but be careful what you spray with, or there will be a lot of dead hogs on somebody's farm. The Two Point* of View. Two walking advertisements or a cheap clothing house met on Broad way the other day. The one was dressed ns a court jester. He walked with mincing step down the middle of the street, balancing his staff on his thumb and seeking to attract attention by his comical altitudes. The other was a plain "sandwich man." HIB somewhat dwarfed body was boxed In almost to his feet by the swinging boards on which the words of the ad vertisement were stnmped. He stood alone on th? curb as the jester passed. Their eyes met No look of recogni tion came to them. But in the lines nbout their mouths their feelings toward each other were expressed. The jester seemed to say: "I pity you, Mr. Sandwich man! You are so humble and commonplace and In significant. I attract the crowd." Tbe look on the face of the "sandwich man" was clearly translated. It was that of contempt for a clown and buffoon, for one who willingly accepted the jeers of the passers-by in so mean a capacity as a walking advertisement New York Mall end Express, iL. Nord Decoration of a Dea. Tbc celebrated postage stamp room in New York City, the walls and ceil ing of which are covered with stamps from all parts of the world, has a rival In the den of a Chicago man, which is papered with sampys of wall; paper. More than 3000 different patterns are represented. Each piece ls cut in geo metrical design, with mathematical precision, and so artistically' have thc various shades' been employed that an exquisite mosiac effect ls the result. An clnborate border makes a finish at the top of the walls, and an eight point* ed star in gorgeous colors covers thc center of the celling. The whole ls protected from dust abd grime by two coats of varnish, and can be easily cleaned, Inutonri of irk nil and Cro? bo'tc*. Danger bottles are the latest precau tionary measures adopted by the care ful mother of a family to ensure the safety of her children and her possibly unlettered and probably careless ser vants. Thfse bottles, to bold poison?, dangerous drugs, etc., are of bright blue glass. The stopper is of glas3 and attached to a string inside of the bottle. A bar of glass ls affixed to the end of tlie string, thus preventing the stopper from being mislaid and at tracting the attention of the person who opens the bottle to a closer ex amination of Its contents. In a house hold where there are careless young persons or absent-minded "ciders these blue bottles with non-losnble stoppers may save sad accidents, If not life It self. The Refrigerator. A large refrigerator or Ice-box ls more economical in the long run than a small one, though the first cost may be greater. And as lt ls to be used summer after summer, lt is the Ice economy that must be'considered. In arranging for the supply of Ice it is totter to have thc box filled to its ut most twice or three times a week rather than a smaller piece every day. When the box ls thoroughly ohilled it keeps not only the meat, and vege tables, but the Ice itself. Put in 100 pounds If possible, and on the morn lng of the third or fourth day lt will be found that a piece will still remain. Another caution ls to open the portion where the ice is kept as rarely ai possible. The cold chamber Is the place to put everything,. even bottles or water and butter: the gust of heat ed air that strikes directly upon the Ice when this is exposed! is the agent which makes it disappear. Table Decoration. ' If pansies are plentiful cut the stems off short and place a border of flowers about each plate. Around the roast the border should be three rows deep. It should be remembered, however, that the simplest harmony ls the best, and thntfiowersas'hear of a color'as possible should be used. If this is not | practicable have the shading mn from dark to light, with the darkest colors nearest the platter. In arranging the largest on the side fortist from the table's edge, thc smaller oues?ext, anc thc tiniest blossoms last and nearest the guest In this color scheme use | also some small vine, like the tender shoots of the amp?lopsis or smilax, having as light a shade of green and as small leaves as possible. Twine these around the edges of the doilieBi training the endsi ot tho Jong sprays out to the edge of the table, thus marking off the space for each guest If candles are used, twine a small spray around each. The whole effect will be one of the most delicate beauty. -Harper's Bazar. . ~. - Recipes -? -O- 'O' 'O' Browned Turnips-Pare the turnips, cut In slices crosswise, boil lu salted water, then drain.

Market street was startled the other morning by a trolley car which bowled merrily along its woy, bearing a sign above the fender which announced in large black letters, "Skating on Cen tennial Lake Today.*' People stopped in amazement, looked up at the leaden . blue sky, wiped the perspiration from their heated brows and wondered if they had been asleep for six months.

During the night they would congregate In the little shelter tents and amuse themselves by sing ing and making onslaughts on tho sol diers, drawing blood every time. In the morning we would see them at the top of the tent gorged after thc ban quet. In fact, these buzzards of the Insect tribe spilled more American blood than did all the Spaniards In Porto Rico. At first they were very annoying, but after a time we became mosqalto-lmmunes and Indifferent to them; or perhaps they Ignored us when the climate had reduced us in weight all the way from twenty to fifty pounds apiece. Mosquito netting was early discarded by the men, the at mosphere being too close for Its use with any comfort. The ants should not be forgotten In this connection. The large black ones would Infest our mess kits by the thousands, and the little red fellows would get between our fingers and bite with a viciousness out of all propor tion of their size. Then there are the wasps, whicQ one of the men stirred up one day while knocking down a green cocoanut and which swarmed , over the horses and caused them to stampede. Another Insect well to avoid is the "Jigger" flea, which ' is fond of burrowing in a person's flesh and laying Its eggs under the skin, necessitating surgical attention. The soldiers were not troubled by them, however, as they prefer to devote themselves to persons who go about In bare feet-New York Mail and Ex press. Heart Hanger.
