LIFE ON THE ROOFS.
SCENES ON THE 1 OPS OK THE
METROPOLITAN HOUSES.
Utilized as Trysting Plaoes, Ballrooms
and Dormitories,
Wc havo all heard of the roofs of
Jerusalem—much (lie finest features
of the town, no doubt—) et Hie wliolo
of Jerusalem is a (rille compared to
the life oil tho roofs of New York.
In a place where land is valued us it is
on this island, (here is a great city
under ground and a great fraction of
tho life of tho place is spent on tho
roofs.
In the slimmer tlie tenement roofs
nre the pleasure resorts of the poor.
Beginning at Baxter street and con¬
tinuing north lo Harlem, on Hie East
side, tho demand for sleeping places
on the cool and breezy roofs is so great
that only first comers find places—the
tardy ones find no sleeping room left.
Then, too, iho tenement roofs are
greatly in uso as ballrooms on early
summer evenings. There the lio, s
and girls dance to the music of mouth-
organs and accordeons. They are
great places for lovers to woo in.
The parks nnd the roof arc the court¬
ing grounds of tlie poor, for there is
no privacy in the tiny crowded homes.
The roofs of hundreds of tiie cheaper
apartment houses are the ciothes-dry-
ing grounds, aiul the tencnls are
obliged to agree to take their turns at
this use of the space, the first floor
tenants having the roof on Mondays,
tho second floor tenants on Tuesdays,
nnd so on.
Leaving Hiese crowded hives we
turn to what the English call the “self-
contained,” or separate, dwellings, ami
here again the roofs are utilized.
Some are quite elaborately fitted up in
summer with potted flowers and awn¬
ings and swinging hammocks—even
with cots at night. We know of ono
which supports a glass enclosed apart¬
ment with a bath tank for use all the
year around. New York has a con¬
cert hall on the roof as every one
knows, and the roof of the palatial
Equitable Building is one of tbe show
places of the city, the best place from
which to view all the other roofs that
shelter 3,750,000 persons in and around
town.
From there and from the Brooklyn
Bridge you can sec that businesses ate
also carried on above tbe garrets, the
businesses of solar printing, of pelt
and fur drying, of preparing rushes,
wicker stuff for chairs and many
other callings—more than any of us
are aware of. Only last summer Mr.
AY. T. Smcdley,thc well-known artist,
took his easel and palette upon the
roof of the Chelsea, that towering
upartinent house in West Twenty-
third street, and spent the whole sum¬
mer thero at work under the open sky
and in the blended breezes of the bay
and the Hudson.— [Chatter.
A Miser Worth Millions.
A Paris dispatch to the London Tele¬
graph says; A rather remarkable
miser named Durand lias just departed
this life in the town of Ilodez. JIo
was eighty-six years old, and accord¬
ing to the French estimate of fortune
lie was a triple millionaire, his
“magot” being worth in cash and
paper $600,000. Durand used to go
about the town like a mendicant—so
much so that people often offered him
alms, but were grinned at for their
proffered generosity. He was known
to have had but one suit of tailor-made
clothes during bis long years of resi¬
dence in Rodez, but on days when ho
went to draw his dividends at tho local
bank lie generally donned a garment
intended to be ceremonious which
seemed to be a compromise between
a blouse and a sack. The miser lived
alone in a big bouse, tiie doors of
which were doubly locked, and occu¬
pied himself with mending his clothes
and boots, cooking, washing his linen,
and counting up his money—this last
task being his daily delight and prin¬
cipal pastime. Durand has left iiis
house and the bulk of his bullion to a
female fishmonger—the widow Nover-
nnd. To his own relatives, some of
whom are in poverty, the miser lias
not left n penny.
A Bird that Kills Rattlers.
Riding in California oue day, says
Judge,). C. Normile, in the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, iny companion called
attention to a bird iu the road ahead of
me. It was something like a prairie
chicken, but much more slender and
graceful in build. It was not using its
wings, but it moved very rapidly and
we had to keep the horse on a pretty
good trot to keep up with it. My
friend told me that it was a “road
runner,” a bird that was noted there
for its pedestrian accomplishments,
and a peculiar habit they have is to
walk always in the center of the road.
When one of these birds meets a rat¬
tlesnake it behaves in such a coy man¬
ner that itloads the snake to think it
will become the victim of its charm,
and whi'.c it is keepiug the snake in
doubt as to his intentions it runs about
in the cactus and picks off the thorns
with its bill, dropping them in a circle
around tbe snake until he has him com¬
pletely surrounded by cactus thorns;
then it flies to some elevation and sits
there to watch the snake stick himself
to death on the thorns trying to get out

FOR FARM AND GARDEN,
NEW BREEDS.
It is time enough to try new breeds
after you have tried some of the old
and reliable varieties. Many new
breeds arc only novelties, and last but
a short time. The breeds tlmt have
been in use for one or two decades are
well recommended by their length of
service. The older tbe breed tbe great¬
er tlie guarantee that it is one that is
meritorious.— [Farm and Fireside.
CUTTING ASPARAGUS FOR MARKET.
In cutting asparagus for market, the
cut is made about t wo inches under
ground and care observed to have the
stalks about eight inches long. All
broken and small sprouts should be
left out. I’lace the heads evenly and
cut the butts off squarely. Make
bunches that measuro about four and
a half inches across the butts; from
twelve to twenty stalks are required
for each bunch, according to the size
of the staiks. A buncher is required
in preparing asparagus for market to
insure uniformity in length and size.
The season for cutting usually con¬
tinues about live W’ecks.— [New York
World.
DOUBLE-WALLED BEE-HIVES.
A coirespondent in American Bee
Journal lias the following to say on
the subject of bee-hives: “I have read
with interest the discussion for and
against double-walled hives, and can¬
not help giving my experience, for I
have used nothing else for the last five
years, and have not lost a colony. 1
mak ■ mine out of half-inch lumber,
plane I on both sides, with seven-
eigliths-inch dead air space, and loose
bottom boards seven-eighths of an
ini'li thick. In winter I simply fill the
cover with chaff, first putting canvas
on (op of the brood frames. These
hives are no heavier than hives made
of seven-cights-inch lumber, and are
much cooler in summer. They arc
the easiest for tiering up for comb
honey, for the tiers can be run to any
height, or can lie used for extracting,
as I do, by putting on extra brood-
chambers on top in place of the sec¬
tions.”
A KICKING COW.
An Oregon farmer gives a remedy
for kicking cows, which lie claims to
have used with great success for the
past twelve years: Take a small rope
or cord about the size of a clothes¬
line; make a loop in one end, hold
the loop end in one hand, drop the
other end over the cow’s back, pick it
up and pass it through tho loop, then
slip it back just behind tho hips,
bringing it underneath just forward of
and close to the udder, adjusting it so
that tho loop is near the backbone.
Now draw the rope through the loop
tightly and fasten it, the more tightly
the better if the animal is very vicious.
On the first application she will jump
and try to kick and perhaps bellow;
but let her kick, she will soon get
tired of doing so. Now you can Bit
down and milk without the least
danger. You can hardly provoke her
to kick. If sho should try to kick,
tighten tho rope and continuo to do
this until sho gives up. Three ap¬
plications in succession will cure
tlie worst case. Treat her kindly
and gently all the time, without the
least excitement.
CARE OF ASHES.
Statistics of insurance companies
show that the cause of an astonishing
number of fires in country places is
carelessness with ashes. In localities
where wood is still the fuel, everyone
knows that covering a few live coals
with fine ashes will preservo lire for a
very long time. Live coals, covered
iu ashes in a wooden ash-barrel or bin,
will keep fire as long as in tho firo-
place, and (heir presenco not rarely
manifested by die burning of the
barrel and tho shed that contained it,
if no greater loss result. AVood ashes
are in themselves of sufficient value to
warrant care in keeping from becom¬
ing injured by exposure to the
weather, and at a distance sufficient
from buildings to prevent auy possible
danger. Ashes should always be taken
up in iron vessels.
The best ash-house we have seen
was built of brick. An opening was
left iu one end for the introduction of
ashes, and another at the ground level,
closed by an iron door, for the remov¬
al of the contents. Better lot the ash¬
es go to waste than to try to preserve
them in any shed or out-building con¬
nect'd with the dwelling. Coal ashes
are worth very littlo as a fertilizer,
but they are worth saving. They
should be sifted daily, and the cinders
and the tine ashes saved separately.
The cinders as a foundation, to be
covered by the ashes and rolled, make
a most excellent path, or road. Their
mechanical action upon stiff, heavy
soils is beneficial.—[American Agri¬
culturist.
RAISING SWEET I’OTATOES.
The usual way to raise sweet pota¬
toes is to mark out furrows four feet
apart, in warm soil and exposure, to
put good, barn-yard compost thickly
in the furrows, then ridge upon tbe
soil over the manure by means of plow
or hoe, and set the plants about two
feet apart along the top of the ridge.
The operation of planting can be done
most safely as follows; Select good,
stout, well-rooted plants. Dip their
roots j,i wa‘er. then distribu'e along
the row, end immediately plant by In¬
serting the plant into a hole made
into the centre of the ridge with the
index linger, and pressing the soil
firmly about the roots so that a cup¬
like depression is left, with the plant
standing firmly in the centre. A littlo
water may be pourd into this cup,
afterwards.
I have frequently used “fertilizer”
(some good specinl potato manure)
witli very excellent success. Com*
mon, good cultivation is given. In
hoeing, the soil is drawn up to tho
plants; and when tho vines have be¬
gun to run they should be occasionally
lifted up from the ground to prevent
them from taking root between the
rows or hills, as they arc otherwise apt
to do. On tho approach of tho first
fall frost tho vines are cut oft' a few
inches above the surface and tbe tub¬
ers lifted out with spading fork or
other convenient tool. Care should be
exercised to prevent bruising the tub¬
ers, as every bruise or cut invites
speedy decay.—[Prairie Fanner.
DIVIDED MILKINGS.
It la no secret to the dairymen of
house-keepers who handle milk as it
is drawn from the cows (hat (lie first
half of the milking is the richest, but
by what percentage it is the richest
in butter is not generally known. To
determine this quostion with more ex¬
actness an experiment was made at
the Indian Experiment Station, where
six cows were milked daily at 6 o’clock
in the morning and evening. During
each milking the milk was divided by
guess into two lots is evenly as possi¬
ble. Tbe “lirgt half” and “last half”
of the milk of all the cows were put in
separate vessels. Portions were ana¬
lyzed, which showed an average of
2.41 per cent, of fat in first half and
4.28 in the last.
In other words the percentage of fat
in the milk last drawn was nearly 50
(43.6) per cent, greater than in the
first half. The butter value of the sec¬
ond half of the milking, therefore, ap¬
pears to be 43.6 per cent, greater than
the value of the first half of the same
milking.
The character of the fat globules, as
well as the proportion of fat, affects
the value of the milk for butter-mak¬
ing. The globules of the second half
of the milking were in general larger
and more homogeneous than those of
the first half. For families economical¬
ly disposed there would, therefore, be
much economy in taking the first Dart
for ordinary family use and selling
the latter for butter.
It would also be sufficient to feed
calves from the milk first drawn ar.d
keep up the nutritive ratio by using
the meals of seeds or grains rich in
oil. In milk, with a more homoge¬
neous size of fat globules,the latter will
all rise in the same time, the ripening
of the cream before churning will be
more even and more easily controlled,
and the results seem to render the
dairyman independent of some of the
difficulties in making butter. It is
admitted that this experiment indi-
categ-rather than proves results, never¬
theless tho station advises farmers to
divide the milk as above at the milk¬
ing, since the only additional trouble
required is tho use of two seta of milk
pails.—[New York "World.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Don't use plaster on wet, mucky soils.
Don’t fail to get onion-seed in early.
Put in a succession of radishes and
peas.
Clover makes the best swine pas¬
tures.
Chopped beets are good for milch
cows.
Behead the weeds when young and
tender.
A southern journal says pea vinos
are the very best crop for ensilage.
Trees for cemeteries: Weeping
birch, cypress, white pine, arbor vitas.
Sulphur and old tobacco leavos
burned in the poultry-house, the house
being closed perfectly tight, will clean
out the red lice.
Start the cultivator as soon as yon
can see the potato rows. You can uso
the harrow before that. The early
work is what counts.
Make nests so that hens can walk in
upon them, and not in a deep box or
barrel where she will have to jump
down to it and break the eggs.
Thistles, daisies, dock weeds and the
pretty morning glories are pests that
should be kept down from the start.
It requires unceasing vigilance to get
rid of thistles.
If you do not want the sills of your
barns and sheds to decay keep the dirt
away from them so that they will re¬
main constantly dry. This is easier
than putting in new sills.
Cruel Laws in Slam.

Finger Insurance.
In a party of insurance men last
week an accident-policy man put the
question generally: “What do you
think is our most unprofitable risk?”
Most of those in the party named per¬
sons in dangerous avocations, such as
railroad men, powder-makers, etc.
When each had received a negative
one asked the smiling aceidout man
the answer.
“Tailors,” said he. “They’re simply
awful.”
“IIow„on earth can a tailor injure
himself?” was*the chorus.”
“If you’d stop to think it would at
once present itse'f,” was the retort.
They prick their fingers. You well
understand that in making a close
seam every particle of the tailor’s
strength in required in holding the
cloth together. A prick in the finger
disables a coat-maker, and we have to
pay him $25 a week until he gets
well.”—Cincinnati Enquirer.
A Curious Ocean Race.
One of the most curious ocean races
ever known recently came to an end
at Suez. Leaving Melbourne three
hours after the English steamer Oriza¬
ba, the French Messaglires steamer
Salazie arrived at the same time as her
competitor at Albany. Up to that
point their route had been the same,
but as from there to Egypt their itin¬
erary w as not the same, heavy bets
were laid in Australia for the arrival
of the Orizaba at Suez 12 hours ahead
of the French steamship. Conse¬
quently people at Suez were on the
lookout, and on the day when both
ships were due they saw the Fremei
steamer ahead and the Englishman
making desperate efforts to gain on
her, but in vain. W'hen the goal was
reached the Frenchman was one hun¬
dred amd sixty or seventy yards ahead
i; one of the swiftest merchant
steamers in the English service.—£Chi-

Benefits of Regularity
Regularity is one of the most difficult
of all minor habits to acquire . It ranks
with that of order. The natural inclina¬
tion of moat persons is to defer until the
last possible moment, or to put it off till
another time, where that possibly can be
done. Yet tho habits of regularity comfort con¬ of
tribute largely to the ease and
life. A person can multiply his efficiency
by it. We know persons who have a
multitude of duties, and are there at tho
moment and attend rigidly to what is in
haud. This done, and other engagements and
are met, each in order, a vast
deal accomplished, not by strained
exertion, but by regularity. The
mind can be so trained to this that certain
hours in the day it will and turu other to a hours par-
ticu'ar line of duty, at
to other and different labors. The very
diversity is restful, when attended to in
regular order. But let these l'un to¬
gether, and the duties be mixed, and
what before was easy is now annoying
and oppressive, and the exact difference
between many is at this point. There
are those who confuse and rush, and at¬
tempt to do several things at once and
accomplish little, while another will
quietly proceed from one duty to another
and easily accomplish a vast amount of
work. The difference is not in the ca¬
pacity of the two, but in the regular
methods of the one, confused ns compared habits of with the
the irregular nud
other.
Preserving Leaves and Flowers.
The leaves of plants may be dried green
between sheets of blotting paper, sub¬
jected to moderate pressure. They may
be mounted by gumming strips of paper
across the staiks to cardboard or what¬
ever may form the base, and they may be
varnished. Flowers may be dried by
placing them in boxes with very clean-
washed and well-dried sand. They must
be quite dry, and if the sand is, with
great care, placed in and around them,
their shape, as well as color, may be re¬
tained. Like other dtlicate manipula¬
tions, a little practice is necessary for a
person to become an expert in the work.
Cheese Fritters,
Cheese which has become a little dry
answers best for this purpose. Put three
ounces of cheese in a mortar, with one
dessertspoonful of finely minced ham,
three dessertspoonsful of finely grated
bread crumbs, a teaspoon ful of dry mus¬
tard, a piece of butter about tbe size of
an egg, a little cayenne and tile yelk of
one egg well beaten. Pound these ingre¬
dients together until perfectly smooth,
then form the paste into balls the size of
a walnut. Flatten to the thickness of
half an inch, dip them in batter and fry
till light browu in color.
