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 Hid riwjr 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. As illustrating the system in Siam, a correspondent of the Siam Mercan¬ tile Gazette mentions the case of a boy of thirteen, who has now been two years in jail, mixed up with the chained convicts in the former elephant 6tables, opposite the “barracks,” whose “crime consists of his father havirg avoided military service by flight two years ago.

She says she allowed her calla plants to rest during the summer, re¬ potting them in the fall in good rich earth which contained much ammonia. The plants were then trimmed and moss placed on the earth to retain the moisture. It 6eems proved that the red dye, variously called Adrianople, Turkey, Grecian Levantine and India red, originated in India, and was from there introduced into the Levant, whence, after having undergone many modifications, it was imported into France by some Greeks toward the middle of the eighteenth century. 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- :ago Herald 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. Machinery. Joe S.
