PLOWER PICKERS OF GRASSE. The peasant -women and girls of Grasse, in the south of France, are kept employed In picking and sorting flowers for perfume, Grasse being the centre of that industry. Violet gather ing begins in March; jessamine, orange blossom, rose and tuberose in May: thr mignonette In August, and the cassia in September. The work of picking ls done between 5 and ll o'clock in the morning, the remainder of the day being spent in sorting and picking apart the flowers. The per fume making begins with spreading the petals upon layers of pure lard that covers plates of glass, and the flower layers are renewed three or four times before the fat has become thoroughly saturated with the per fume. This perfumed lard is the "pomade" of commerce, outr of. which are made extracts and fine pomades. Self-Importance.

"I saw in the Star not lon?? ago, copied from a New York paper," said a lady living near Greeley, Pike Coun ty, Pennsylvania, "a story about an apple tree blossoming in October, and the fatal results of it. The story was tcld as coming from a man, and he said that an apple tree at his home had blossomed ten years before in Oc tober, and shortly afterward his wife had died, lt had not blossomed again in October for several years, and then within a month bis mother had died. Then there was another lapse, and when he told the story, which was about the first of October, the tree was again in blossom, and he was greatly disturbed as to what was going to happen next. Well, that story was mine, and the reporter put it in the name of a man, because .1 didn't want to appear in it. Two weeks after I had told the story to a party of friends in which the repoiter was, I went back home, and within a week the house took fire and burned to the ground. It was so sudden that we barely managed to get out with our lives, and our chief articles of apparel were bathrobes and blankets. It was a country place, and we had no means of putting out the fire, so everything was lost. The only consolation we have is that the fatal apple tree stood tso close to the house "that it was burn ed to a crisp, and it, at least, will never again be the messenger cf bad luck, however much other trees may bring with their October blossoms." -Washington Star.

Often a rain may come after wheat lias been sown, and on clay land so beat down the soil that it will crust over or bake when the sun comes out so that many of the plants cannot get I through. The use of a light harrow with fine sharp teeth will remedy this I very quickly without injury to the j plants that are up, or those that are j germinating. Nor does it injure wheat to use such a harrow on it in the I spring when the clover seed is sown, ; unless the roots have been thrown out ! by the frost, in which case a roller is needed to press the plant roots back into the earth. Bent Location for a Now Garden. Where the land is rotated for gar dening the best location for a new gar den ls the strawberry bed of last year, for the reason that strawberries are not only liberally manured and given direct applications of fertilizer, but are also carefully cultivated and the weeds destroyed. The shading of the ground by the strawberry vines also promotes thc formation of humus. An excellent way to treat the plot is to burn it over, so as to clean off any dead grass or other refuse that may be left, apply well-rotted manure (in order to avoid seeds or weeds), and plow early in the spring in time to give a portion of the space to onions. Beat Treatment Tor Breeding Flock. Clover hay is one of the very best feeds. For a grain ration, my favor ite feed is oats, bran and peas, with roots or ensilage for succulent feed. I prefer roots to anything else and find that I never have too many. If I do not have good luck in raising root crops during the summer, I put up en silage as the very best substitute. Whatever feed is used, give it at regu lar intervals and not too much at a time. Make up a sohedule for feed ing and then stick to it. Good care and regularity are the secrets of success In the stock busi ness. I always have a box of salt for the sheep to run to and am seldom troubled with disease. The time to doctor a sheep is before it gets sick. When it once gives up, it is in most cases lost. I think it far more profi table to spend my time in finding out what caused the sickness, in order to keep the remainder of the flock healthy, rather than attempt to doc tor sick sheep. I always know when my ewes ought to begin to lamb, and put forth every effort to have everything ready. Give the young sheep a good start, for early development is worth everything to the shepherd. The lamb must be pushed from birth until ready for sale. There is no stopping place.-A. F. White, in New England Homestead. . Warm Tonltry Home?. Poultry houses should be so con structed that even in the coldest win ter weather the ter"*- ature will not go below ?? .ees during the night <i a healthy flock of .jx. care for cold weather " the daytime, provided they nave a nice light shed, where they may scratch and hustle, but during the night a. warm house is absolutely es sential. Hens that are found to roost in a house where water will freeze will not lay, and it is folly to try to make them. ? Build the house so that the heat may be easily regulated, but do not attempt to supply artificial heat by means of stoves or heaters. Fowls subjected to unnatural heat will easily contract colds and in time become sickly. Let the ventilation be so arranged that when the weather moderates the heat may be at once reduced, and do not force the fowls to stay at all times in a house which is intended for zero weather. Tf the same conditions could be made to exist in winter as in summer, the hens would lay equally well at all sea sons, but since the natural order of things, vary so much, it therefore rests with us to supply, as nearly as possi ble, those things which nature has de prived them of. Heat, light, exercise, pure food and water are most to be considered, without one of which there is no sure road to success. All else hinge on these, and our profits will depend on the economical way we have provided for the fowls.-Home and Farm. Winter Horse Raining. The new method to make the farm horse pay his way every day in the year is to keep good, sound, sizable mares and breed them in the fall, pref erably November. The foal then comes in October when fall work is mostly finished and from then till March or April, given a comfortable box stall, she will raise a fine foal during the winier period of idleness, and when spring opens up, thc foal is weaned and the mare is ready to begin the spring work and will work mod erately right along up to the following October. I always practiced working my mares right up to the time of foaling, with no injurious results, as long as the mares are being fed plenty of grain. A mare of 1000 pounds weight, worked hard up to near the time of parturition, needs not less than 14 pounds grain, chiefly oats. Thus fed thc mare with foal can be worked pretty hard. Assuming that the mare foals in October, no more work is ex pected from her all winter, though light work will not hurt. A warm, well-ventilated box stall is provided for the mare and foal; if a water basin is placed in the stall, all the better. With plenty of pure water all that is necessary for the mare and foal all winter is a,generous allowance of hay and oats, with an occasional feed of boiled stuff, as boiled barley, but if roots are fed generously, turnips or carrots, there is no need of boiled messes. With an abundant supply of roots they may be fed every day. If much corn is fed it should in all cases be mixed with wheat bran, half and half by weight. The foal soon learns to eat hay and grain with its dam, and will grow right along at a surprising rate. When the warm days of spring begin to open up, the mare can be taken away from the foal, leaving the box stall to the colt All he now needs is a repetition of the feed given in the winter. The grass is now or will soon be ready and this will be the best substitute for the dam's milk.-J. A. Macdonald, in American Agricul turist . If a Successful 1'nrinor. Probably there are far more farra?, ers who are not successful according to the ideal test than who are. In the following list, taken from the Journal of Agriculture, of what the successful farmer finds time to do we must con fess that with the average farmer many of them are neglected. We are willing to admit, however, that they may well bc taken as a m acure of the highest and best conditions of succoss. They may look, some of them, like matters of secondary Importance, but they are a test of good habits and of a really Industrious and thrifty mode of farming. We quote: The man who makes the farm pay ls a busy man, but there are some things he does not let his busy ll Cc pre vent attending to. He ls never too busy to keep up with his work. The way he accomplishes so much is never too busy to plan, out his work, days week3 and months ahead. He finds time to keep up with mod ern methods and discoveries, and is a deep student of those sciences which apply to his business. He finds time to attend the meetings o; farmers and listen to the papers, discussions and lectures given for his benefit. He finds time to attend the poultry, cattle and horse shows, and locar fairs and expositions where agriculture and kindred vocations are given attention. He is never too busy to see that his stock is rightly treated. His horses are carefully groomed after the day's work, and his hogs and cows are never without an abundance of pure, fresh water. He is never too busy to take care of his machinery as soon as through using lt for the season, painting and oiling all exposed parts. He finds time for repainting all the farm buildings as soon as they need it, and never neglects needed repairs. He finds time to cut all the weeds in fence corners and other nooks about the farm, and docs not allow the road bordering his farm to grow weeds and ripen seeds to seed his farm. He finds time to work his garden, cultivate his orchard and care for the trees and shrubbery about his farm. He finds time to build and keep up a neat lawn with choice bed of flowers and ornamental shrubbery. Nitrogen for .Sandy Solis. Of all the soils to be cultivated or to be restored none are preferable to the light, sandy soils. By their porous- , ness free access is given to the power ful effects of air. They are naturall" in that state to which drainage and sub-soil plowing are reducing the stiffer lands of England. Manure may as well be thrown into water as on land underlaid by water. Drain this, and no matter if the upper soil be almost quicksand, manure will convert it into fertile, arable land. The thin covering of mould, scarcely one inch in thickness, the product of a century, may be imitated and pro duced in a short time by studying the laws of its formation. It is a well recognized fact that next to temperature the water supply is the most important factor in the produc tion of a crop. Light soils give good crops in seasons of plentiful and well distributed rains or when skilfully ir rigated, but insufficient moisture in a soil is an evil that no supplies of plant food can neutralize. Sandy soils are rich in mineral constituents and fall to give good crops in time of drouth only on account of their inability to retain moisture. This can be obviated by the application of fermented peat or clay, cr the sowing of clover. All of these enable it to retain moisture in timejj^. of drouth, and the decay of vegetabu substances in the soil gives off car bonic acid, a powerful solvent in the soil. Peat contains as much nitrogen as barnyard manure, but as it is dug out the nitrogen is locked up by acids in insoluble combinations and applied to the land in this condtion brings in sorrel, coarse and unnutrltious grasses. Composting it with an alkali to neu tralize its acidity causes the peat to heat, then ferment, and renders it sol- ' uble and -fit for food for plants at a cost of two cents a pound for nitrogen. If the land is in a condition to bear clover it is easily brought to a state to produce any crop, and if not in con dition it can be readily made so at a trifling cost for fertilization. A crop of three tons of clover contains the following constituents: 123 pounds of alkali, 210 pounds alkaline earths, 45 pounds phosphoric acid and 127 pounds nitrogen. Soils are not exhausted when it is seen the power a suitable crop has to liberate and convert the insoluble sub stances existing in the soil and store them in a plant for future use. The clover should be cut for fodder the first year; the second year cut it once for fodder; then, allow it to grow . again and go to seed, which save for future use, and there is left in the clover roots in the soil to the depth of 12 inches. 97 pounds of alkali. 292 pounds alkaline earths, 71 pounds of phosphoric acid, 180 pounds of ni- ' trogen, available for p Crop, which, when plowed, leaves the land clean, light, retentive of moisture and easily tilled with available constituents In the clover roots and soil enough to produce any crop profitably, and the necessity of purchasing fertilizers and applying them is Eaved. The farm should be made self-supporting, but it can only be done so by a judicious ro tation of crop. If this is not resorted to fertilizers, which are much more costly, must be applied-Andrew H, Ward, in New York Tribune. A Well-Karned liewnrd. The gold watch and chain which our go\ eminent has sent to Captain Rich ardson of thc British steamer Orange Prince for saving two American fish ermen lost on the ocean is a token of recognition and national gratitude far above its intrinsic value. The latter, in fact, is much less than the cost of stopping a great steamer and using its time in the work of rescue, and on this latter account some recognition should also be made to the steamship owners for the services of their ves sel. Too many stories are told of steamers that pass men afloat on the ocean and leave them to perish. They cannot be compelled to stop and res cue the sufferers, but something should be done to encourage them to do so.-Philadelphia Public Ledger. Gerranny Crowds England on the 8en.

Lusk de scribes as follows a military weddin? performed at an isola ted post In Ari zona: * .. ."Such unexpected things happen 1 military- life! We nearly lost on! breath when in the midst of our gaiety an order came for Mr. Knox to gb to the Philippines. He and Miss Porter were to be- married next June, and he insisted upon leaving her a- brjde, In stead of a fiancee, hoping she might Join him if not soon recalled. .' T,"Qnly a few In the garrison had known that the order to ojjr . senior lieutenant was not wholly unexpected. The colonel's family had guarded well the secret. * * * * Tho cere mony, . with' all its 'features, was so picturesque and so unlike .those, we have seen in,civilian life. On 'the af ternoon of New Year's day blue-coated soldiery walked with formal tread up and down the walk which led from the colonel's quarters to the chapel. At the former place a national flag al most hid the little veranda, which was transformed into a bower of flow ers, and foliage, for the day was warm and dry, as If Nature, too, smiled upon the occasion. Soft rugs carpeted the walk to the gate, and there the bridal party formed;after the guests .had been received. A tiny girl and boy tastefully gowned formed a fair ad vance guard for the party, and scat tered flowers on the way from the Southwick home to the chapel.. The stage was a mass of ferns, and In the center was ? small silk American flag. Here and there on the walls of the chapel were military ensigns and guid ons In beautiful colors, and a portiere of flags hld thc balcony, behind which a stringed quartet struck sweet strains. "The ceremony was performed in front of the stage, and the solemn words of the ritual were spoken to the strains of'the hidden music. Through the 'ribboned aisle the bridal proces sion retreated and marched to the colonel's home. The regimental hand played In welcome, and squads 'of 'soldiers stood in attention about the lawn, while Mr. and Mrs.' Knox, be neath the national ensign, received congratulations before, refreshments were served," THE STYLES OF HAIR DR^?SING. It is reported hy some foreign au thority on fashions tbat dyeing the hair ls entirely out of style,' dark, nat ural tints being the mode once again. Change In the way.' of doini; the hair is one of the great secrets of success In dress, providing the style ls always In harmony with the shape of the head and contour of the face. There is an evident eftY.rt to lower the chignon to the nap of the neck, but this mode is not readily accepted by all women, so for tile present the hair is arranged high on the head for evening dress, and a little below the crown for or dinary wear. Many young girls adopt the low style of hair dressing, which is very pretty with the new gypsy hat. Another point in fashionable hair dressing is bringing the locks well down on the forehead, .either parted'at one side or Jn, a soft pompadour falling over the ears. The decorations are the varying point in hair dressing for evening, and anything between diadem diamond combs and a simple rose seems to. b? permissible. Diamond pins in circles, crescents and oblong shapes are worn at the back with a comb above and side combs and an ornamental bow in addition. In fact, this craze for deco ration is PO often overdone that -the later fancy for one or two, roses is a pretty relief from the barbaric ten dencies of the day. The new gojd roses are charming in the dark hair, and some of the colors are quite as beautiful. S100 Howard. 8100.

The time will probably come in America when the European grape will again be a valuable commercial fruit. It was at one time, the fruit selling readily at $1.50 a pound. The cultivation went down for several reasons, among them the fear of com petition with the outdoor grown Eu ropean grapes from California, the injury to the roots by the phylloxera and the difficulty of getting the intel ligent labor to manage the vine prop erly. It is clear, however, that no more fear of competition with the California product need be feared than with' the Spanish grapes that come In barrels of cork dust from thr Old World1.. These'are very good in their way, and will usually bring remunera tive returns, though the figures-, bo small.

There are dead loads of American girls who have all the quali-? ties enumerated by the big duke, and j yet do not contract foreign alliances. | With few exceptions, foreign noblemen are attracted only to rich American girls.
