The following interesting story ol
how a canary knts enrol of homesick

the point of carrying the bird back to
the store when one day a friend said:
‘Give him a piece of lookirg-glatj.’
Acting on this suggestion, she tied a
piece of broken mirror about the size
of a man’s baud on the outside of the
cage. Tlie little fellow hopped down
from his perch almost, immediately,
and, going up close, looked in, seem
ing delighted. He chirped and hopped
about, singing all the pretty airs he
was master of. He never wits home
sick after that. Ho spends most

Tree trimming is in order, and
many large limbs will be oat off un
avoidably. No stump should be left,
but tbe cut should be made close to
the trunk and the wound should be
painted thoroughly after as it • has
seasoned for a few weeks. Left to de
cay in the weather it will soon .admit
water to the heart of the tree, when
rapid and certain destruction follows.
Some people make the mietake of
painting the wound as soon as it is
made. Faint and oil cannot adhere to
a wet surface, but will peel off, or will
let sap and water blister beneath it,
and very eoon the application is value

BBHED? FOB BOOT IN" FOWLS.
This disease is exceedingly con
tagions, and is similar in every respect
to the diphtheria of persons. It arises
from the same causes, Viz,, poisoning
by bad air or dampness, by whieli the
germs of the disease are encouraged.
The remedy < lies, first, in removing
the cause, making the poultry house
clean and dry, and keeping it as warm
as m»y be. The sick birds are treated
by giving doses of powdered chlorate
of potash, one small pinch of it being
dropped in the throat twice a day.
The swelled heads are bathed with
warm vinegar, and tho month and
throat washed by means of a soft
feathef. Tho house should bo well
disinfected by'bnrning sulphur in it
during the day, keeping it tightly
closed for an hour or two while the
fumes of tho sulphur are aeting. All
dead birds should be buried deeply,
away from the house. —New York

HOW TO OBOW AND (SHIP CADLIFLOWSB.
Cauliflower, like all vegetables of
tha brassies, or cabbage, family, re
quires a vet y rich soil. The land
should be treated to about eighty
two-horse lords of horse manure, or of
comported horse and hog manure to
the sore. This should be plowed un
der,, care to be taken that the soil be
not wet, bet in perfect friable and
mellow condition. The drills should
be,about three feet apart and the cul
tivation level and very frequent.
There is a hand cultivator which is
preferable after the plants are about
half grown, because horse Or mule
wonld doubtless destroy them if the
drills be only three feet wide. The
object is to have large, compact heads.
As soon as these are well formed they
should be shipped, or the blue oj; pur
ple bloom will form, aud then the
heads are Unsalable, nt fair or good
prices. If necessary, turning the
olant on its roots; say half-way round,
wilt act as a check, and breaking two
or three of the outer leaves over the
already fully formed head will afford
a beneficial shade and a little more re
tarding. Only one-third of the leaf is
turned over the head, and it is not
separated from the main plant. Cauli
flower should be shipped in shallow
crates, or. if the regular cabbage
orates be used, pack in tiers so os not
to injure the bead. The recently
formed refrigerator car lines with ex
pert handlers will prove a great ad
vantage for shippers, —pourie*'-Jour

OROTFINO Aj'iFALFA .!
Just now there is much' inquiry go-
■it 'the rounds as .to proper methods
to be employed in the.. starting of a
'stand of alfalfa. - ■ In reply to a'query
olpng this lino from a correspondent
of the Nebraska Farmer, Profeasor
Charles ll Besseyhas written .as fol
lows:
“In the growth of alfalfa it is nec-
e'ssary, first of all, to take great pains
to fit the soil for the young' plants.
’The ground must be rich and mellow,
tiniess it has bod legumea growing up
on it it should lie treated to a good
quantity ai barnyard manure in order
t? supply thi; soil with pv*ilabl»nitro-
? ;eu. Thcu wheu the alfalfa, him ob-
niuei) a foothold it will thereafter
supply itself With all tbs nitrogen it
needs.
“Prepare the ground with great
core, and hare it like a garden as to
mellowness and freedom from clods.
Sow the seed os early as possibleintbe
spring, but do not sow it on another
crop, as we generally do with clover.
It is well to sow a peck or so of oaU
per acre with Hie alfalfa, simply to af
ford a little shade to the yoang plant*.
Since a field ought to lost 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 field at
once, but begin with a few acres, so
as to give these the greatest care, and
add to the area each year. In this way
success is reasonsbly certain. But dj
not attempt it without seeing that tha
soil is rich in nitrogenous matter.
Put on barnyard manure freely.’’

AUNT TABBY’S UMBRELLA.
F70 of the three
Fosdick girls as
pired to wealth and
social position.
They claimed i
few rich relatives,
who visited them
occasionally and
raved over the
“lovely fields” and
“darling cows."
but nevertheless
would have su£
fered the pangs of
hunger before they
would have made an effort to till these
same fields or soil their dainty hands
by milking a caw.
Among tho conntry relatives was
Aunt Tabitha Simonds. She began
life with a little amount of property,
and had been known to have been very
oconomioal for many years. She was a
very peculiar woman, but received due
courtesy at the hands of some mem
bers of the family on account of
“what Aunt Tabby might possibly do
for them.”
Tho shrewd old lady intuitively
gauged those courtesies and knew just
where to draw the line, where true
deference should manifest itself.
Tho Fosdioks were a family of six,
father, mother, son and three daugh
ters. Celinna, Clara and Marie were
the daughters, but ware unlike in char
acter and personal appearance. Ce-
lindn was the acknowledged beauty of
the family. Clara considered herself
of the most importance in literary
matters, aud Marie, the youngest, a
plain, sensible; good little daughter,
who made everybody happy.
Just bow sjl were busily discussing
a letter just received. It was Celinda
who spoke first.
“Of all things! That Aunt Tabby
should thrust herself upon us this sum
mer 1 And we might just os 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 ont
of her.”
• ’ ‘Celinda, I’m ashamed of you. Why
need yon be 50 mercenary?” exclaimed
her fqther, reprovingly. Celinda
scowled.
"Pm snrS'Aunt Tabby is mersen
ary,” she said, in n complaining tone.
“If she would aver do anything for us
or make us presents it would be differ
ent, but sho just scrimps all tbe time
^nd allows us to scrimp, too. ” Celinda
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 bold
to help with the housekeeping,” said
the tired, overworked Mre. Fosdiok.
“Yes, indeed) I don’t know what
we would have done that hard summer
without her,” said Marie, with a grate
ful remembrance of Aunt Tabby’s will
ing and ready hands.
“We ought to htve souls above snob
drudgery," exclaimed Clara, rolling
her eyes towards the ceiling.
“Well, Clara, I can tell von 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 oan say
who have a big library. All the same,
I guess if it wasn’t for this same drudg
ery as you call it, you wouldn’t be
quite a« comfortable as you are.”
There was a little silence while Mr.
Fosdick drank his tea and then Con
tinued :
“You like pie and cake well enough,
but yoq don’t wont to go into the
kitchen to help make 'em. Seems to
me yon might help mother and Marie
a little more.”
“Ms says I bother her,” replied
Clara, in an apologetic tone.
“That’s because yon ain’t teachable,
like Marie. She had to learn. ”
“It’s bo use of fussing, girls,” said
Mrs. Fosdick. “Even if Aunt Tabby
is old and sometimes queer and cross,
I think we can manage. ”
“dhe needn’t be oo queer,” said Ce
linda.
“Bhe is just os she was mode, if she
is my sister, and we’vo got to make
the best of it,” said Mrs. Fosdick,
rising wearily from the table.
Abner Maoon, sitting in the kitchen,
hod beard all this conversation. He
compared the fretfnl, complaining
voice of Celinda to Clara's drawling
tones, end again with the cheerful,
practical words of the pleasant Moris.
Abner was'.something more than a
farmer’s hand. He possessed a fine
physique and fair edueation, broadened
by a ceurse of good reading. He
wanted to kn.ow how to run a farm.
He had views of e time when he might
own • farm of hia own and he wanted
to Jearn how to utilize every acre.
He had also had his day dreams of
' the time when his home might be pre
sided over by a fair, good woman, and
somewhere in the depths of his soul
hsd been registered a purpose to moke
Mtrie his wife.
But of this Marie was blissfully ig
norant. Sho worked about house all
day andserved Abner at table os grace
fully as if he were a titled guest.
Mtrie had no nonsense about her and
respected the young man who so faith
fully lightened her father’s toil.
On this particular afternoon she
watched her father as he stood in the
book porch, pausing for a few mo
menta’ rest before setting out for the
htyfield for the afternoon’s work. She
noticed ho passed his hands wesrily
over his pale, tired-looking face, and
turning suddenly to him, said:
“Fa, can’t yon sit down and rest a
little while? You look more tired
than usual. ”
“No, child. There's that lot to be
raked up this afternoon, aud a good
job it is, I must bo going."
Abuer came near and eald:
"I’m willing to work extra bard on
It if you rest for a little while. I think
myself you don't look qmto well. If
yon will trust mo I will look after
that this afternoon."
Mr. Fosdiok had learned to rely on
1 Abner—much more thoii on bis own
sou, Henry, who, if truth must be
told, was inclined to shirk; Henry
disliked the form. In fact, * ho dis
liked labor or application of aby sort.
“Then I guess you may go on, Ab
ner, and 1 will rest a spell. T i tell
the truth I don’t feel very scrump
tious,” and he seated himself in the
old-fashioned rock«r out in the slj vdy
eide of the porch. He soon fell asleep.
Two hours passed, and Marie began to
feel anxious, as her father seemed Still
deeping. She passed her hand anxi-
ouslv over his brow. _ He awoke, but
seemed deied. He failed to recognize^
her, aa he failed to recognise all the,
other members of .the family. Dr.'
Borne was hastily summoned, who
said he was suffering from sunstroke,
and gently intimated that his. working
days were over. Abner came homo
much later than nsiial, having stayed
to finish the lot. He found tbe family
in distress over Mr. Fesdick’s condi
tion. Somehow tho blow seemed to
have crushed Mrs. Fosdick. She sat
in a state pt apathy, from, which they
could not aronso her. Everything
fell upon Marie. "Mario” must do
this. "Marie" must direct that.
Henry, instead of bracing himself to
help meet the needs of the place, gre w
lazier than ever, andabeolutely refused
to be dictated to. .
“There’s just one thing about it,
Abner,” said Marie emphatically one
morninj^yre have got to make our
plans exactly os if Henry were not
here. He can’t bo depended upon.
Yon had to do his work yesterday ••
well oa your own. He is determined
to go to the city. Let him go. I
shall oppose him no longer. Then we
shall know just what we have got to
depend upon. ” -
The next day Henry started for the
city, leaving his share of the burden
to fall upon Marie and Abner.
“I'll do tbe liest I can, Miss Marie,”
said Abner. “I went yon to feel free
toxall upon me early and late and I
will sorve^rou faithfully.”
“I don’t doubt you will, Abner, but
oh! if only mother bad not fallen into
such a strange condition! She doesn’t
seem to cars about anything, and I
dou’t know much. I shall have to de
pend upon you entirely about the
farm, and if I fail to show judgment
you’ll know it is because I don't know,
not because I don’t care, and then wa
will talk things over and get os straight
as wo can.”
Marie was not a crying girl usually,
but just now such large tears stood in
her pretty eyes, and she looked up into
Abner's face with such.an appealing,
dependent look that he felt hit heart
jump”straight into Marie’s hands. .. ;
"It’s not much that I know, but you
may trust me. Miss Marie. ”
Somehow Marie felt extremely com
forted from that moment, although
she could not sing about the hqhse in
her old-time way, yet she worked aud
directed with a feeling of greater se
curity than before.
And in the midst of it all Aunt Tab
by came. Even Marie, hospitable as
she was, fel! a bit more weary offer she
had welcomed her ana lelped her
place her few garments in the neat
“spare chamber.”
“Now, look *’ here, Marie. I made
up my mind-to com*, even if your pa
an’ ma air tick. I can do a little to
help, an’I will, too, if you an’I can
agree on a few things. ”
“But you are getting old, and you
are not strong, anntie. Yon must not
do much ; you’l! '-t ' k. ”
“If I ain’t capable here’s folks in
the world as is an’ we can get ’em.”
“No, we can't,for we’ve no money
to do it with,” laid Marie, decidedly.
‘ “Well, I have, an’ I'll do it, pro
vided a good smart gal can coma here
an’ help you, but if you say ..you’ll
allow her to wait on them lazy girls
an’ work over their flounces an’ furbe
lows instead of hatpin’ you, why ’tiiiut
of much use.”
Mario caught eagerly at thie hope of
help. 1
“Well, auntie, T promise yon faith
fully that Celinda aud Clara shall wait
upon themselves and iron their own
flounces. We ••ill have good work
done m an orderly manner, and I am
tired. Aunt Tabby.”
“Well, tbere’s one a-oomin’ by next
Stage. I counted on how it would lie
an’ took the liberty to have her .prom
ise to come. She's a stout, likely gab ”
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 won
dered at tha unusual brightness of
Marie’s tired face.
“Yon can’t always tell what folks
will do,” he said, after Marie had ex
plained. “I felt as if she had a streak
of goou m her which emergencies would
bring out. ”
And so the summer waned, and the
§ged father and mother were still in
valids. It was with a sad heart and
sometimes tear-dimmed eyes thstMarie
saw Abner’s favorite books gathering
a suspicion of dust upon their covers.
He bad no time for stndy or reading. -
Aud then Aunt Tabby suddenly fell
ill.
“It’s of no use doctorin’.” she said.
“My time has come. I fed it, an’ to
morrow I wqpt things fixed pretty
much as I want ’em, an’ I’ll get you
an’ Abner to help me tend to it.’’
So a time was set apart for the duty
—to Marie a sad doty, for she redly
loved the old lady, who had been so
kind to her.
With the renewed strength and dear.
voice which is sometimes given-a-dying
person, she gave e few explicit direc
tions.
"Jest hand me -that tin box oai o’
the upper dfawero'my barest), Marie.”
She did as site was bidden. “An’ how
I want that tanberel o’ mine oat 6’ the
closet.” ' •
A faint smile touched MarieV lira
ss she brought an old brown umbrella
that had been the derision of hor ev-
ters. Aunt Tabby took it in her trem
bling hands and deposited it carefully
on the bed beside her. Then she opened
the box. - -
“Now, here in this old black wallet
is e hundred dollars. I calkerlate it
will pay my funeral expenses. An’
hero iu this brown wallet is 9200 more,
which I give into your charge, Marie,
to help pay some of the bouse expense.
An’ here is my will. You take care o’
that, Marie, aa’ see that everything
goes straight as I have got it. ' Lawyer
Sibley drew it up an’ you oan get him
to read it when I’m gone. An’, Abner,
I give to you this umberel o’ mine.
Take good core on't, an’ maybe it will
help be anmrtection to your out age.
I guess that’s all—only, Marie—you
may .give in/ old clothes to Mammy
Gidfftmsf' Don't bury me in my beat
dress. Give it to her; second best will
do!” And with these strsnge words
she turned her head on the pillow and
expired.
A few hours later Marie, standing in
the porch, with the sunset rays falling
about her, said to Abner:
“I hope you won’t feel, insulted by
Aunt lobby’s giving you that dread
ful umbrela. It was a singular thing
for her to do, but you know she was
portly crazy. I know she. thought a
great deal'pf you, Abner. I wish she
had done something for you. ”
“Never mind, Marie, I shall not
hold it against her, yon may be sure;
and as for t he umbrella, if I were at all
a believer in luck—which I am not—
I should say tho poor old weather
beaten thing will certainly bring it to
meL X glial! certainly take care or It,
as she said. ”
Celinda and Clara were in haste to
learn the contents of Jho will.
“Not until after the funeral,” said
Marie, decidedly.
And so; after those last rites were
performed, Lawyer Sibley was called
:o read the will. It bequeathed #1000
;o Mr. and Mrs. Fosdick, #100 to Oe-
indaond Clara and #2000 to Marie.
* ‘How strange that she did r.ot men
tion her farm in Yermon',! She has
aot spokeu of disposing of it; but per
haps she has done so and this money
i* the price. Still, Lslould thought
iho would have mentioned it,” said
Marie to Abner.
The next morning it was raining as
Marie stepped into tho darkened
porch.
’“There’s a chance for your new
umbrella, Abner,” said Mario; smiling
a little. Ho answered with a look
which shpwed no signs of offense.
‘ Now, Abner, wo must make ar
rangements for yon to have more help.
We can do it now. Yon have worked
too hard. I shall never forget yonr
faithfulness and you shall bo paid ns
far as money is concerned. Most
young men would Lave gone away and
left us in such straits. ”
“I don’t know who could leave you,
Marie,” he said, with an earnestness
which made her cheeks flush. Just
then Celinda .called from the dining
room : ‘
“I want to go ont, Mtrie. My um
brella is broken, and so is pa’i Can’t
I tak& yours?" 1 ’
“Yes, oamo the reply, aud they
watched Celinda and Clara as they
waded persistently through tho little
puddles between the. door and gate. '
• “I think I’ll take my new one,” skid
Abner, and he soon reappeared with it.
As he.o^ene^it a large paper fell to.
ike noor from the innfer folds and a
fplded note also fell out. '-Abner read
the note fizJl: V ! *' t T-' :
“Jo Vbnsr Uafemi l hnln t watcnVl^yod

“WSitwj Surtos.’' - '
It was several mpmosts before .the
young people could speak, and then
Abner said:
“Is it true, Marie? Will yon let
W;hat ii mine be yours?”.
„ Marie’s answer lyns tearfully but
happily, given. .
“But we will-not leave father, oqd,
mother at present.”
“Purely not—but by and by wo can
maW owr plans.” " <•
When"tbe winter snows came they
fell upon the graves, of-.the agedeonplc

In grovos. The trees are twenty feet
'apart, and have long green leaves^
Very dark and glossy.
The nutmeg is enveloped in a husk
about the size and shape of a rusty-
eoat apple. When perfectly ripe the
husk splits aud a nut falls out The
kernel of iho nut is tho nutmeg of
commerce. It is beaten from the husk
by the children, who climb the nut
meg trees and trash the branches with
poles. Tho air is sometimes so heavy
with perfume that the young nutmeg
gatherers are overcome by its heavi
ness and have t:> be borne from the
grove on the shoulders of their com
panions.—New York World.

K. 0. Kotin, Eeq., of KempsviUe, Princess
Anno Co., Vo., whose portrait heads this
article, write*: “ When I commenced tak
ing Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery I
wns very low with >. cough and at times
S it op much bhod. I was not able to do
o least work, but moat of tbe time was in
bod. I was oil run-down, very weak, my
head was dizzy and I was extremely despon
dent. Tbe first bottle I took did: not seem
to do me much good, but I had faith in it
end continued using it until I had taken
fifteen bottles and now I do not look nor
feel like tho same 'non I was one.year ago.
People are astonished and say, ’well, last
year this time I would not have thought
that you would be living now.’ I con thank
fully cay I run entirely cored of a disease
which, but for your wonderful ‘Discovery'
would hare resulted iu my death."
Even when the predisposition to consump
tion Is inherited, it maybe cured, as verified
by the following from a meet truthful and
much respected Canadian lady, Mrs. Thomas
Vansicklin, of Brighton, Ont. Bhe writes:
“ I have long felt it my duty to acknowledge
to you what Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and his 'Pleasant Pelleto' have
done for me. They nlmoet raised me from
the grave. I had three brothers tad one
sister die of consumption and 7 was
speedily following after them. I had severe
cough, pain, copious expectoration and other
r tanning symptoms and my friends all
thought I had out a few months to live. Av
that time I was persuaded to try the ‘Golden
Medical Discovery’ and the first bottle
ccted like magic. Of course, I continued on
with the medicine and as a result I gained
rapidly in strength. My friends were nstoa-
ished. When I .commenced the mm of yonr
medicines, six years ago, I wfigled but 120
pounds aud was sinking 'rapim; I now
weigh 135, and my health continues perfect."
