The Stsrninrs' Nest.
Rev. J.'D. Bull, of' 'ottturidge Park,
llierts, E'ngland, has a large school of
over one hundred boys, consequently a
very large establ!ghment, and the daily
receipts of letters very large; lie had to
send about a mile for his letters so he
obtained permission to have a letter
box fixed in his park-palling, at the
nearest point to the house, as the post
man passed this point, and it Is on the
side of a large shrubbery of many years
growth. The slip outside the rails was
about six feet high, and, of course, the
box for the letters was a large square
one, about eighteen inches by twelve
During the first week of its being put
up, twice each day the letters were
fetched, and each time a double hand
fual of small sticks and straw was
thrown out of the box, which was at
tributed to mischievious boys on their
way to school. After two or three
days a inessenge: was sent rottud to the
house with two letters found on the
road, next day several more, and this
rubbish continued to be Ilut in the box
althougi twice a day thrown out. l'he
letters being found on the road, caused
Mr. Bell to set a watch for the boys,
but n ione were seen to go near. Next
morning the rubbish had been pit in

of course, Mrs. Starling was found ont;
site continned daily to add to the nun
her until five, then commenced sitting,
and for several days a large 1number of
letters were thrown upon her, as she
sat, the box door opened and the letters
taken away, but she never iet t, her nest
as they took the letters oll' her back.
The passer-by on the road nmist have
(1iscovered herci, for'0Wi on orinug a
stone was found to have fallen ail
brok- the eggs (no doubt a imischiev
Ots hoy'), the stone was thrown out1,
and when they went to clear the box
they fotund she was eovering the broken
'-ggs w it ll tlowers, dog-daisies and
prim-roses. In a few daya she formed
a nest in another corner and laid four
eggs. These were likewise broken and
covered with flowers. Then another

ran to it and caught a boy "jobbing"

1iAnu;t At rr,i '1'REEs.-"What can
be done for them ?" The answer up
perlost in our minds is: "Cut them
down. Why cumber they the ground ?"
But I would not do that. There is one
thing you can do; you can strike at
the life of the tree but don't kill it.
By wounding so as to check the wood
growth of the tree you may throw the
tree into fruitage. All know that to
girdle the limb of an apple tree-that
is, take out a ring of bark at the base
of a limb in the early spring-will in
duce the formation of fruit buds that
season, which the following year will
develop in a crop of fruit. In many
cases the failure to fruit is due to the
rapid growth of wood. Checking the
growth iII any way-by seeding to
grass, or by withholdiug manure, or
by girdling as indicated-will in
many cases induce fruitage. In my
practice I have done this; I have taken
u saw and gone through the orchard
and girdled ea-h tree, say one foot
fromn the ground, sawing through the
bark in a ring around the body of the
Lree. '1'lis does little, if any, permnan
r.nt injury. In the course of the sea
ions growth the wound Is healed, and
the connection again made in the bark,
but not till the frmit buds have formed.
which is a pledge for a crop of fruit
the followiug season., It is soimetimles
the case with particulari varieties, as
'or example with the bell-flowers, that
Ihey blossont full but set no fruit. The
mause in most cases is the too rapid
growth of the wood. Girdling the
botiles of the trees-which Is most con
veiont Iy done wIt It a saw-is the remi
ndy, andl will generally cause the fruit
to set. Even li' injury should be done
to the tree, so as to shorten its life for
l few years it is bet.ter-for a few years
ot usei'liness Is better than many
ears without any use. I have no doubt
itany who see this suggestion will
recoguize at once the good sense that
s iII it, and will act upon it, and as a
'esutlt will profit by it.

A SiciaE'r WonTH KNowINU Hr
IIOU sE-KEEnI'hs. - A sOrt of trade
secret among upholsters, it is said, is
this recipe for ridding furuiture of
moths: A set of furniture that seemed
to be alive with the larvai, and from
which hundreds of these pests had
been picked and brushed, was set into
a room by itself. Three gallons of ben
zine had been pur'chiased, at thirty
cents a gallon, retail. Using a small
watering pot, with a tine rose-sprinkler
the whole upholstery was saturated
through and through with the benzine.
Result: every moth, larvie and egg was
killed. ''hie benzine dried out in a few
hours, and its entire odor 'disappeared
in three or four days. Not the slightest
hat in happened to the varnish, or
fabric,or wood,or hair stutling. That was
months ago, and not a sign of a moth
has since appeared. The carpets were
also well sprkled all around the sides
of the room, with equally good effect.
For furs, flannels, indeed all woolen
things containing motha-benzine is
most valuable. Put them in a box,
sprinkle them with bon.:ine, close the
box tightly, and in a day or two the
pests will be exterminated, and the
benzine will all evaporate on opening.
In using benzine great care should be
taken that no lire is near by, as the
stuff, in fluid or vapor form, is very in
flammable.
OGRAT finely as much well-cooked
ham as you are likely to require, flavor
it with a very little cayenne and some
nutmeg. Roll out some good 1)1111
paste very thinly, cutt it into two per
fectly even portions, prick in one or
two places to prevent it rising too high,
and bake in a quick oven till of a golden
brown. Then take out and let it stand
till cool, then spread a little fresh but
ter lightly over the whole. This should
not be done till the paste is perfectly
cool. Now spread the grated ham
evenly over the paste, lay the second
piece of putY-paste over it, anwl with a
very sharp knife cut into small-sized
sandwiches. This is a charming snip
per dish.
FRUIT FOR A SUMnin Duir.-Now
that the warm season of the year is at
hand, it may be worth while to call the
attention of our readers to the fact that
if they wish to keep well, they should
add as imuch fruit to their daily food as
possible. It will save doctor's bills
and, what is more important, much ill
ness. Of course there are tnany who
cannot, or think they cannot, oat fruit.
The cause often is a spoiled stomach. In
such cases it takes time and care to
habituate the organ to this change, and
sonetimes it cannot be done at all.
Leaviing out such cases we advise the
liberal use of fruit from t.his time on,
wherever it can be obtained.

A I(ualisti 1)reamn.
The followIng is an account of a
lream, if dIream it may be called, which
visited Neille lIiekey, tihe thirteen -
vear-old daughter of the Mrs. ilickey
who was murtidered in Warren, Ohio,
recently. Th'le child lives In Akron.
I'he most singular part of it Is the fact
Lhat the dream and thme crime were
mimutaneous events. On the morning
)f the fatal all ray, at the hour of six,
lust the time Hlickey and his wife were
3ngaged in the terrible struggle in the
room of the Warren hotel, the daughter
woke from a frightful dream in her Eiast
Maorket street home, sobbing and cry
aig over a horrible vision which had
uppeared in time midst of her tilstuirbed
ilumbers. So deep) an impression didi
t make on lher mind that she comnmuin
cated It to other members of the house
told. The sight which She had seen
vas nothing else than th)e cold-blooded
nurdher of lher mother. 'rho form and
'eatures of the p)arent were plainly yis
ble and her agonizedI aDlpeal to her
nuirderer wvas as clearly pictured, but
hie face of the assassin was hid fronm
ecr view. An) involunmtary cry for help
~ame from the troubled sleper, andl
he next instant she awvoke to find that
he frightful pioture was only adlream.
[t still clung to her mind with all the
rividness of a real occurrence, refusing
.o be dismissed, and tihe first Item that
net hem gaze on taking up the evening
)aper, was the startling news of her
nother's murder which site had seen in
iner morning dream. The child states
;hat the long series of troubles between
ier father and mother have been pay
ng the way for this tragic ending, and
hat her mother had frequently ex
wressed the fear that she would( sooner
>r later die at Hlickey's han-ls. She ex
libits litle sympathy for lier father,
mt was overwvhelmed with grief over
~he fate of her mother, who, she states,
inas always treated her with the great
es5t kind ness. She will probably b)e a
witness for the prosecution at Hickey's
rial wh)iche takes plae some time in

There is no modern fashionable
notion quite so absurd as the generally
recelved Idea that to be beautiful and
attractive a woman must possess a wan,
spiriuelle face and a figure of sylph-like
proportIons-a fragility in nine cases
out of ten the result of disease. By
many fashionable belles it is consIdered
a special compliment to be spoken of as
frail and delicate. They forget that the
naturally delicate face and petitefigure
are very dlifferent from the pale and
