at a bird store. Jt had been aeons- i

the store, but at our house it was cu- ]
tirely alone. The pretty little song- i
stcr was evidently homesick. It would
not sing, it would not cat, but just
drooped and seemed to be pining away.
We talked to it, an 1 tried by every ,
menus in our power to cheer the bii\l
up, l>ut sill in vain. My wife was on ,
tlie point of carrying the bird back to .
the store when one day a friend said:
'Give him a piece of looking-glass.*
Acting on this suggestion, she tied a
piece of broken mirror about the sire
of n man's hand on the outside of the
cage. The little follow hopped down
from his perch almost immediately, ,
nud, going up close, looked in, seem- >
ing delighted, lie chirped and hopped
about, singiug all the pretty airs he
was master of. lie never was homenick
after that. lie spends most (
of his time before the glass, and when

down as close to the glass as ho J

TREE WOUNDS.
Tree trimming in in order, and
many largo limbs wil' be cut oft* unavoidably.
No stump should be left,
but the cut should bo made close to
the trunk and the wound should be
painted thoroughly after as it has
seasoned for a few weeks. J<eft to decay
in (ho weather it will soon admit
water to the heart of the tree, when
rapid and certain destruction follows.
Some people make the mistake of
painting the wound as soon as it ie
made. Paint and oil cannot adhere to
a wet surface, but will peel oft", or will
let sap and water blister beneath it,
and very soon the application is valueless?

HOW TO GROW AN"O SHIP CAlTLIKfjOWKR.
Cauliflower, like all vegetables of
th? brassiea, or cabbage, family, re
ijuiros :i voiy rich soil. The land
should he treated to about eighty
two-horse loads of horse manure, or of
comported horse and ho^ inauuro to
the acre. This should lie plowed under,
care to he taken that the soil he
not wet, hut in perfect friahle and
mellow condition. The drills should
ho about three feci apart and the cultivation
level and very frequent.
There is a hand cultivator which is
preferable afier the plants are ahout
half grown, because horse or mule
would doubtless destroy them if the
drills he only three feet wide. The
object is to have large, compact heads.
As soon as these are well formed thoy
should ho shipped, or the blue 01* purole

I>rices. If necessary, turning the
plnut'oii its roots, say half-way round,
will act as a check, ami breaking two
or three of the outer leaves over the
already fully formed head will afford
a beneficial shade and a little more retarding.
Only one-third of the leaf is
turned over the head, and it is not
separated from the main plant. Cauliflower
.should be shipped in shallow
urates, or. if the regular cabbage
crates bo used, pack in tiers so as not
to injure tin- head. The recently
formed refrigerator car lines with expert
handlers will prove a great advantage
for shippers.?Courier-Journal.

Oharles II. Pessey has written as follows
:
"In the growth of alfalfa it is necessary,
first of all, to take great pains
to tit the soil for the young plants,
fhe ground must be rich and mellow.
I'ulesH it has had legumes growing up
>:i it it should ho treated to a good
pmntity of barnyard manure in order
to supply the soil with available nitrogen.
Then when the alfalfa hat ol?Inineil

uippl.y itself with all the nitrogen it
neeils.
"Prepare the ground with great
jai e, and have it like a garden as to
mellowness and freedom from clods.
Sow the seed as early as possible in the
spring, but do not sow it ou another
rop, as we generally do with ciover.
It is well to sow a peck or so of oats
per aero with the alfalfa, simply to afford
a little shade to the vouug plants.
Since a held ought to last many years
when once a good stand is secured, it
will pay to take great pains with it.
Do not try to seed too large a held at
once, but begin with a few acres, so
is to give those fho greatest care, and
add to the area each year. In this way
uiocess is reasonably certain. Big do
not attempt il without seeing that the

AUNT TABBY'S UMBRELLA.
" WO of the three
Fosdick girls iusfpired
to wealth and
They claimed a
few rich relatives,
who visited them
occasionally and
raved over the
"lovely fields" and
"darling cows."
but nevertheless
would have suffered
the pangs of
W hunger before they
would hav^ made an effort to till these
same fields or soil their dainty hands
l>y milking a cow.
Among tho country relatives was
Aunt Tabitha Simouds. She began
life with a little amount of properly,
and had been known to have been very
economical for mauy years. She was a
very peculiar woman, but received due
courtesy at tho bauds of some members
of tho famibr on aooonnt of
" "what An ill TuM >y might possibly do j
for them."
The shrewd old lady intuitively
gauged these courtesies aud knew just
where to draw the line, where true
deference should manifest itself.
The Fosdicks were a family of six,
father, mother, son and three daughter.*.
C'elinoa, Clara and Marie were
the daughters, but were unlike in character
and personal appearance. Celinda
was the acknowledged beauty of
the family. Clara considered herself
of the most importance in literary
matters, and Marie, tho youngest, a
plain, seusible, good little daughter,
who made everybody happy.
Just now all were busily discussing
a letter just received. It %vn? Cclinda
who spoke first.
'"Of all things ! That Aunt Tabby
should thrust herself upon us this summer
! And we might just as well have
had some guest from the city who
would have returned the hospitality
for me next winter. Aud no knowing
whether we shall make anything out
of her."
"Cclimln, I'm ashamed of 3-011. "Why
need you be so mercenary?" exclaimed
her father, reprovingly. Celindft
ccow led.
"I'm sure Aunt Tabby is mercenary,"
she s*.id, in a complaining toue.
"Il" she would aver do anything for us
or make us presents it would be different,
but she just scrimps all tho time
and allows us to scrimp, too." Celimla
tossed her head fretfully.
"And I'm sure she has no regard for
the poetry of life," simpered Clara.
"Maybe Aunt Tabby doesn't care for
the poetry in books, but she cares for
another word that begins with p and
that is 'practical ;' she takes right hold
to help with the housekeeping," said
the tired, overworked Mrs. Fosdick.
"Yes, indeed! I don't know what
wo would have done that hard summer
without her," said Marie, with a grateful
remembrance of Aunt Tabby's willing
and ready hands.
"We ought to have souls above such
drudgery," exclaimed Clara, rolling
her eyes towards the ceiling.
"Well, Clara, I can tell yon one
thing," interposed Mr. Fosdick.
".Books are all right enough in their
places. Folks ought to have plenty of
'em and know what is in 'em, too?
which is more than half of 'em can say
who have a big library. All the barac,
I guess if it wasn't for this same drudgery
as you call it, you wouldn't be
quite ns comfortable as you are."
There was a little silence while Mr.
Fosdick drank his tea and then con
tinned:
"You like pie ami cake well enough,
but you don't want to go into the
kitcheu to help make 'em. SeeniR to
lue you might help mother and Marie
a little more."
"Ma says T bother her," replied
Clara, iu an apologetic tone.
"That'a beeauso you aiu't teachable,
like Marie. She had to learn."
"It's no use of fussing, girls," said
Mrs. Fosdiek. "Even if Aunt Tabby
is old and sometimes queer and cross,
I think we can manage."
".Jhc needn't be so queer," said Celindu.
".She is just as she was made, if she
in hi v nmtt'i , ituu wo vu ^ut n? iiiumj
tbe beet of it," said Mrs. Fosdiek,
rising wearily from the table.
Abner Mason, sitting in the kitchen,
had heard all this conversation. He
compared the fretful, complaining
voice of Celinda to Claia's drawling
tones, and ngain with the cheerful,
practical words of the pleasant Marie.
Abner was something more than a
farmer's hand. He possessed a fine
physique and fair education, broadened
by a. course of good reading. He
wanted h kcow how to run a farm.
He had Tlews of a time when he might
own a farm of his own and he wanted
I to learn how to utilize every acre.
He had al6o had his day dreams of
the time alien his home might be presided
over by a fair, good woman, ami
pomewhero in tho depths of his soul
had been registered a purpose to make
Mario his wife.
But of this Marie was blissfully ignorant.
She worked about house all
day and served Abner at table as gracefully
us if he wero a titled guest.
Mane had no nonsense about her and
respected the young man who so faithfully
lightened her father's toil.
On this particular afternoon she
watched her father as he stood in the
back porch, pausing for a few moments'
rest before setting out for the
havfield for tho afternoon's work. She
noticed he passed his hands wearily
over his pale, tired-looking face, and
turning suddenly to him, said :
"Pa. can't you sit down und rest a
little while'' You look moro tired
than usual."
"No, child. There's that lot. to be
raked up this afternoon, and a good
job it is. 1 must be going."
Abner came near and said:
"I'm willing to work extra hard on
it if you rest for a little while. I thin t
myself you don't look quite well. If
you will trust me I will look after
that this afternoon."
V* --** *

lVJr. Fossick had Ibarned to roly on
Abner--nuieh more than ou his owu
Hcnrj*, t.L?, if irum must be
told, was inclined to shirk. Henry
disliked the farm. In fact, ho dislik?
d labor or application of any sort.
"Then I guess you may go on, Abner,
and 1 will rest a spell. To tell
the truth I don't feel very scrumptious,"
and he seated himself in the
old-fashioned rocker out in the shady
eido of the porch. He soon fell asleep.
Two hours passed, and Marie began to
feel anxious, as her father seemed still
sleeping. Hhc passed her hand anxiouslv
over his brow, He awoke, but
seemed daied. He ft*led to recognize*
her, as he failed to 1 cognize nil the
other members OI tno ian::iy. ut.
Roiuo woh hastily summoned, who
said lie was Buffering from eunstroke,
and gently intimated that his working
days were over. Abner came home
nmcli later than usual, having Htayed
to finish the lot. He found the family
in distress over Mr. Fosdiek's condition.
Somehow the blow seemed to
have crushed Mrs. Fosdick. She sat
in a state of apathy, from which they
could not arouse her. Everything
fell in.on Marie. "Mario" must do
this. "Marie" must direct that.
Henry, instead of biacing himself to
heli? uieet the needs of the place, grew
lazier than ever, and absolutely refused
to bo dictated to.
"There's just one thing about it,
Abner," said Marie emphatically one
morning, "we have got to make our
I?bins exactly 11s if Henry were not
iHe ear*'t b? d?v>?nded nt>ow
You bad to do bis work yesterday as
well as your own. He is determined
to go to tho city. Let him go. I
shall oppose him no longer. Then we
shall know just wbat wo have got to
depend upon.'
Tbe next day Hewy started for the
city, leaviug his s' ro of the burden
to full nnou Marie ;ud Abner.
"I'll do the best I can, Miss Marie,"
said Abner. "I want you to feel free
to call upon mo early and late and I
will servo you faithfully."
"I don't doubt you will, Abnor, but
oh ! if only mother had not fallen into
such a strange condition ! Sho doesn't
seem to care about anything, and I
don't know much. I shall have to depend
upon you entirely nbout the
farm, and if J fail to show judgment
you'll know it is because I don't know,
not because I don't care, and thou wo
will talk things over aud get aa straight
as we can."
Marie was not a crying girl usually,
but just now such largo tears stood in
her pretty eye?, aud she looked up into
Abner's face with such an appealing,
dependent look that ho felt his heart
jump straight into Mario's hands.
"It's not much thai I know, but you
may trust me, Miss Marie."
Somehow Marie folt extremely comforted
from that moment, although
she could not sing about the house in
her old-time way, yet she worked and
directed with a feeling of greater security
than before.
And in the midst of it all Auut. Tabby
came. Even Marie, hospitable as
she was, fol! a bit more weary aftor ahe
had welcomed her and helped her
placo her few garments in the neat
"spare chamber."
"Now, look a' here, Marie. I made
up my mind to come, even if your pa
an* ma air sick. I can do a little to
help, an' I will, too, if you an' I can
agree 011 a few things."
"But you are getting old, and vou
are not strong, nun tie. Yon must not
do much; you'll get Kick."
"If I niu't capable there's folks in
the world as is an' we can get 'em."
"No, we can't,for we've 110 money
to do it with," said Marie, decidedly.
"Well, 1 have, an' I'll dp it, provided
a good smnrt gal can come here
an' help you, but if you say you'll
allow lier to wait on them lazy girl"
an' work over their flounceB an' furbelows
instead of he 1 pin' you, why 'tiaut
of much use."
Mario caught eagerly at this hope of
help.
"Well, auntie, I promise you faithfully
that Celindn and Clara shall wait
upon themselves and iron their own
flounces. We will have goo 1 work
done in an orderly manner, and 1 am
tired, Aunt Tabby."
"\YelJ, there's ono a-comin' by next
btage. I counted on bow it would be
an' took the liberty to have her promise
to come. She's a stout, likely gal."
Marie knew her aunt's compliments
would not be undeservedly given. She
ran down with a lighter heart. Abner
came in with his pails of milk and wondered
at the unusual brightness of
Mario's tired face.

J fill rnu t HlWflJh toil \NI1JIL If II Kn
will do," he said, after Marie had explained.
"I felt an if she had n streak
of good in her which emergencies w ould
bring out."
And so the summer waned, and the
aged father and mother were still invalids.
It was with a sad heart and
sometimes teer-din?med eyes that Marie
saw Aimer's fp.vorito books gathering
a suspicion of dust upon their covers.
He had no time for study or reading.
And then Aunt Tabby suddenly fell
ill.
"It's of no use doctorin'." she said.
"My time has come. I feel it, an' tomorrow
I want things fixed pretty
much as I want 'em, an' I'll get you
an' Abuer to help mo tend to it."
So a time was set apart for tho duty
? to Mario a sad duty, for sho really
loved the old lady, who had been bo
kind to her.
With the renewed strength and oloar
voice which is sometimes given a dying
person, she gave a few explicit directions.
"Jest hand me that tin box out o'
the upper drawer o'my bureau, Mario."
She did as she was bidden. "An' now
I want that umbcref o' mine out o' the
closet."
A faint smile touched Marie's lips
as she brought au old brown umbrella
that had been the derision of her sisters.
Aunt Tabby took it in her trombling
hands and deposited it carefully
011 the bed beside her. Then she opened
the box.
^ow, nere in tnis oiu uiacK wallet
in a hundred dollars. I ealkerlate it.
will pay my Mineral expenses. An*
hero in this brown wallet is $200 more,
which 1 give into your charge, Mario,
to help pay some of the hotiso expense.
An' here is my will. You take care o'
that, Mnrie, an' seo that everything
goes straight as I have got it. Lawyer
Sibley drow it up an' you oan get him
to read it when I'm gone. An', Abner,
I givo to j'ou this umberel o' mine.
Take good earc oii't, an' umyby it will
K
S
help toe a purteetion to your old age. gj
I auess that's !!- only, Marie -juu
may give my old clothes to Mammy
Giddons. Pou't bury me in my best
dress. Give it to her ; second best will
do!" Aud with these strange words
she turned her head on the pillow aud
expired.
A few hours later Marie, standing iu
the porch, with the sunset rays falling
about her, said to Abner :
' I hope you won't feel insulted by
Aunt Tabby's giving you that dreadful
umbrola. It was a singular thing
for her to do, but you know she was
partly crazy. y I know she thought a
great deal of you, Abner. I wish sho
had done something for you."
"Never mind, Marie, I shall not
hold it against her, you may be sure;
and as for theumbrella, if I wore at all
a believer in luck?which I am not? Rl
I should say the poor old weatherbeaten
thing will certainly bring it to
me. T sTiaTi certainly take care of it, I'
as she said." tt
Cehndr. and Clura were in haste to ?
learn the contents of the will. lc
"Not until after the funeral," said tii
Marie, decidedly. gi
And so, after those last rites were
performed, Lawyer Sibley was called ni
o read the will. Itbe'|ueathed $I00U u
.o Mr. and Mrs. ' 'osdic.k SliVi ?? Co- m
iniln nnu Clara and to Marie. u
"How strange that she did i.ot men- r<
.ion her farm in Vermon".! She has if
lot spoken of disposing of it; but per- n<
laps she has doeo so and this money il
is the price, 'it'll, 1 si otild thought ^
iko wnnM hava mentioned it." said ?
Mario to Abncr.
The next morciug it was raining as
Marie stepped into the darkened
porch.
'There's n cbanco for your new
umbrella, Abner," said Marie, smiling
a little. lie answered with a look
which showed no signs of offense.
* Now, Abncr, avo must make arrangements
for you to have more help.
We can do it now. You have worked
too hard. 1 shall never forget your
faithfulness and you shall ho paid as
far as money is concerned. Most
young men would have gone away nn 1
left us in such straits."
"I don't know who could leave yon,
Marie," ho said, with an earnestness
which made her cheeks llush. Just
then Ccliudn called from the diningroom
:
"I want to go out, Marie. My umbrella
is broken, aud so is pa* a, Can't
I take yours?"
"Yes, came tho reply, and they
watched Celimhi and Clara as they
waded persistently through tho little
puddles bctweeu the door and gate.
"I think I'll take my new one," said
Abncr, aud he nooii reappeared with it.
As he opened it a large paper fell to
tho floor from the inner folds and a
folded note also fell out. Abner read
the note first:
"To Ai?ner Mison : I hain't watenol you

(hUlio ring Nutmegs.
T1 ie children of South America and J
tropical islands pick nutmegs almost
as soon as they can walk. Gathering
nutmegs is something like gathering
chestnuts. Nutmeg trees arc planted
in groves. The trees Rre twenty feet
apart, and have long green leaves,
cry dark and glossy.
The nutmeg is enveloped in a husk
about the size and shapo of a rustycoal
apple. When perfectly ripe the
husk splits and a nut falls out. Tho
kernel of the nut is the nutmeg of
commerce. It ie beaten from the husk
by the children, who climb the nutmeg
trees and trash the branches with
poles. The air is sometimes so heavy
with perfume that the young nutmeg
gatherers arc overcome by its heavi
nesa and have t > be borne from the
