mrs. harrtsok'h busy days.
Mrs. Harrison is a busy, active woman
every minute of the day, says a Wash
ingtou letter to the Pittsburg Times. She
ics to every household matter demand
ing her attention, and is especially fond
of visiting the conservatories. When
her grandchildren are here they arc
always with her. Now that they are
al.sent she has leisure to give to her
painting, the Iasi new books and nuiga
zincs, the pile of daily papers and her
mail.
This latter burden is not quite as great
jis during the first few months of her
White House residence,but it isamarvel
lous job yet to get through with each
day and not allow any accumulations.
She drives out often in the mornings
downtown on shopping excursions, and
goes in and out the business store with¬
out exciting the least, attention from any¬
body. But generally for the shopping
expedition she takes the office carriage
and has one of the servants to drive her,
and consequently is hardly eVer recog¬
nized.
THE ENGLISH OIRL.
The English girl, observes a traveler iu
the Boston Herald, is romantic and sub
missive. While,as full of sentiment a
the ideal love letters tied with blue ri!
bons, she still regards man as her lord
and master. She rarely dreams of dis
puting the supremacy of her husband,
father, or even brother, and her privilege
aud pleasure are to minister unto them,
She is so affectionate in her home circle
llint, the average man has only to lie ad¬
mitted there to straightway fall head
over heels in love with a girl who wor
ships her brother, is forever kissing her
fond father, and disputes with her sisters
the honor and delight of warming the
paternal slippers. Kveii when of “high
siation*’ she takes her turn in making the
tea and preparing tho toast and superin
tending the breakfast generally a task
which mamma relegates to her daughters.
rtic English girl breathes this engaging 'say"
air of domestieitv. Man doesn’t
“llow she call ’waltz! how well she
looks at the opera! how she surpasses all
the other girls in the cotillion U
No matter to what advantage shi mat
appear in evening dress under the sof1
radiance of the wax candles, what the
most inveterate bachelor whispers to
iiimsolf is this: “B V George! what ;l
wife she would make! And what a
homo!”

IN JAPANESE COSTUME.
The Countess Oyana, wife of tho Japa¬
nese Minister of War, is one of the few
ladies of the court circle at Tokio who
receive at their own homes in the native
costume which European fashions are so
fast driving out of the land of the
Mikado. The Countess prefers the com¬
fortable and picturesque Japanese dress
to the forei gn costumes which the court
lias adopted, and this iu spite of the fact
that she is one of the first Janauese pa wo
men educated in America, having grad
ua *- e G at Yassaar in 1852, the only wo

Fortunately the chosen spouse was the
Count IwaoOyana, who was himself edu

the Vassal-School of Music in 1878, and

stohing cabbages.
1 havc Gied various methods of keep
.
mg cabbages through the winter,
out success, says a writer in the American
OuUicator. Attempts to bury in pits or
trenches failed with me, and second, I
could not readily get at them as wanted,
by reason of frozen ground. Often the
cabbage would freeze also. My present
method of storing cabbage in winter is to
put them, heads down, in bins in my cel
lar, and from one to three in depth, ae
cording to the room at my command. 1
do not pull cabbage from the ground, but
when put in the cellar in this way I cut
them off just above the roots, with a
small hand axe. By making a slanting
cut the cabbage will not be broken from
the stump. The roots have no keeping
qualities. Cutting off the roots does
away with all the dirt.
I take off the principal share of the
surplus leaves. Store the cabbages when
dry. I can keep them by the above
method until late in the spring, and still
have them tender and crisp. In fact, I
keep all of my vegetables in the cellar, i
excepting my squash. The temperature
should be maintained at about forty de¬
grees after winter sets in. Stored in this
way the farmer may have good vegeta¬
bles throughout the cold season.
LIBERAL MANURING PAYS.
Writing to the American Agriculturist,
R. Franklin says: A couple of years j
ago I undertook to' make a small field, j
which was in rather condition, suf- !
ficieutly poor |
rich to pay for cultivating.
Consequently, chip I hauled upon it barnyard j
manure, dirt from the wood-yard,
slaughter-house offal and refuse until the
ground was covered so deeply that the
stuff could hardly be plowed under. A I
neighbor came along and criticised my ;
methods. “That field would be rich— 1
yield but the of rest potatoes of the farm from kept the poor.” manured: The j
ground 250 was at the rate, this season, of j
bushels per acre; not an exceptional
yield, but a good one for this locality,
Sufficient to convince me, at least, that I
received a better profit from thefertiliz- |
ers than if they had been thinly spread
‘ :
over a larger area. A little ground, i ,
made rich and well worked large’area will nav bet
ter eery time than a of poor i |
ground ’imperfectly worked. Which is
only another way of saying that the last !
load of manure, and the last turn of the
cultivator on an acre, pays better than i
the first one. Aud, until the capacity of
the first acre is measured, it is folly to
Upply either to the second.
ROAD DUST FOR THE FOWLS.
One of the things of prime importance
fot tae health of fowls, and withmn :
m lieu they cannot be kept in an itnprov
ing condition, is tint they shall at all
rimes have free access to dry earth or
dust, where thev may wallow aud free 1
themselves from’ insects. Through the
summer, if they are allowed to Wat I
larue, not much attention to this is rc- i
for quired. themselves, as they and can they generally will lie look found out ! j
scratching out hollows in the drv ground I
and dusting themselves to their great
satisfaetion. Now that winter is here, !
provision should be made so that they
can continue to take their dry-dust baths !
under shelter.
For this purpose nothing is better than
dry road dust, aud every $ne keeping
fowls should lay in a supply while it can ;
be obtained aud keep enough of it for
their use through the winter, when the j
ground outside has become wet and
muddy cr frozen. Where there are
many fowls it is quite a good plan to
have a small room with a window facing
"to the south for this *pecial purpose,
rather than a box of dirt in their roost
mg place or nesting-room, so that they i
may dust themselves without covering
evorvthmg else with dust. Where there I
has been a neglect to provide dusty earth i
for this purpose, ashes mav be substitu
ted. aud answer the purpose verv well.
Fersous who fail to make any provision !
whatever, and keep their fowls from this j
time on until spring without anything
of the kind, need not expect many engs, j
and will find them suffering “ from ver- :

resetting in PEACH orchids.
It is a practice of doubtful expediency
to set new peach trees after, an orchard
has been planted three years. Peach
trees are short lived, and an orchard can- j
not be kept ful! of trees with profit, un- j
less the trees are all nearly of the same \
a ? e If ^ new V trees fc are constantly constantly set set in m i
-
when the body k of tne orchard becomes :
unprofitable, ^ there are still a few strag- -
^ VOUDffer trees which the owner
dislikes to sacrifice, and which are vet j
poetically of almost no value. Land can
be put to better use than to be tilled for the ‘
and indifferent trees. But even the more I
immediate value of trees which are filled
j u is trifling, and seldom worth the I
trouble they give. They are checked by
their well-established neighbors, and
yield little. I have had experience for
mfln j years in this direction, says L. H.
Bailey, in Garden and Forest, and have
yet to see such an experiment in the peach
orchard which paid. In apple orchards
it is frequently profitable, but apple
are set further apart, and the trees are
sufficiently long-lived to allow all
trees to even up.
j am contident that mos t growers allow
their peach orchards to get too old There
should be no sentiment in a matter-of
fact operation like the avowing of
peaches, and when the trees cease to be
profitable {* uprooted.“Thave on account of -me SdonT they «hould
known
peach orchards to be profitable after they
were were twelve twelve years years planted, planted, particularly particularly *
when they *
have had good culture and
have borne heavily, It is sometimes true
that they cease to be profitable at an
earlier age. But whenever the time
comes, cut them down, root them out,
and plant anew, with the same thought
for profit that leads you to cut you r corn
or plow under (to your strawberries. At
any rate, not be deluded with the no
turn that continually filling in an orchard
is profitable.
THE VALUE OF FRUIT TREES.
“A good fruit tree is worth fifty
dollars,” we heard an old farmer sav re
cently. contauun"-fiftv'trees If this is true an orchard ot
one acre should whicli in
crease the value ofthe farm udou
it is situated bv the nlcas-mt
$2500—less, of course, the original value
0 f that individual acre. While it might
be difficult to find a purchaser who
would accept this valuation, says R. K.
James in the American Agriculturist, my
own experience inclines me to thebe
lief that r>>ht! the farmer’s TinonT.ield assertion was th?ee not
far flora "annum of
dollars per from each tree would
give six per cent upon this capitalized
value. It is a poor tree that will not
average this, even allowing for off years,
and off years are not so frequent as to
alternate regularly with the bearing ones.
A healthy tree, properly cared for, will
give a crop two years out of three that
will pay for harvesting. Occasionally a
tree will give a crop that will pay the
interest for many years in one. An Early
Richmond cherry tree paid me last year
eight dollars, besides the fruit used at
home, whicli was sufficient to pi ay entire
cost of gathering. From a sweet cherry
tree this year I sold three-and-one-half
bushels at two dollars per bushel,
Two Chickasaw plum trees, growing
so closely together that their branches
intertwine as if they were trees, the two
covering a space of about live hundred
square feet, frequently pay ten dollars in
a season, which would lie at the rate of
over $800 per acre. A pear tree near by
yields ten bushels in a good season, and
one dollar per bushel is not an unusual
price. Three early apple trees this sea
sou gave over fifty bushels, which sold
at from eighty cents to $1.20 pier bushel,
The trees were so full that I had to com
mence picking while yet very green, to
save the limbs from breaking. Yet the
same trees last year gave a crop that paid
more than six per cent, upon a value at
fifty dollars each.
These figures are not exceptional nor
peculiar to a specially favorable locality,
but are such as may be attained almost
au ywhere in our broad lard if discretion
is used in the selection of varieties, and
- (,0, i cai ' e t:lken of tb e trees from the
time rhe 7 ar « planted. It is true that
the above figures are not obtained from
a regular orchard, but from a few trees
ll P°n a village lot. Yet the same aver

Sliort Haired Siamese Girls.
Siam is the land of the short
girl. All of the women of that
wear their hair from one fo two
long, and their leeks stand up like
or gray bristles out from tlieir
color. d faces. A Siamese buttercup
sixteen, with her plump, yellow
b'ack eyes, and her lithe,
formed frame, loosely clad in
sarong, is a beauty,
that her black ha'r is short, and
her tee L h are reddened with
ehc wing. She is as straight as an
row and as graceful as a gazelle, the
her hair makes you think of
page-b >y on the stag Take the
girl thirty years later. Her plump
are sunken, her cheek bones stand
and her jet black eyes dull and
look out of hollow socke's. The skin
her forehead is stretclu d with wrinkh
like the c r.ugations of a
and over this stands outthis short
or gray hair. Her mouth J as been
eolore 1 and spoiled w ith betel-nut

upon which the parcliment-like skin
her person seems to hang. The
women of Siam are the homeliest
women in the world, and if one
a Siamese girl lie would need to keep

hand. This ageing is more rapid in hard,
lower classes, where the w ork is
