They appear to have made up their minds to the fact that the cultivation of head and hand should go togeth er, A good way to ventilate a roota is to raise the window on the windward side a few inches, and close the open ing at the bottom with a piece of a board cut to fit it. A current of air will pass into the room in an upward direction, through the opening be tween the upper and lower sashes, without creating any draught. Frost and Fruit. ‘Ts the fruit crop damaged?'’is the question propounded to every man who drops in from the country. So far ns heard from the frost. 1ms bit deeply into the crop. In the Warrior district, where there is quite a large acreage in fruit, of all kinds, the re port comes in that damage is great. Round about town the peach trees have suffered. Colonel Cltas. J. Har ris, who 1ms something of an orchard, and who lives in the suburbs und on a hill, where naturally the frost would fall lightly, thinks he will gather about a third of a crop.—Macon Tele graph. Good Tillage. Start out in this season's work with the resolve that what you do, you will do well. That your work shall be first class. Thorough tillage of the ground from tlie beginning, will ward off \jalf of the troubles of wet and dry, of heat and cold. Crops will often come in spite of every adverse circumstance of the season, if the ground has been pre pared thoroughly in the beginning and the work lias not been slighted at any other period of its need. Hard Times. f The best way to weather the hard times is to watch and work. Watch yourself, that the substanee does not leak away in little extrava gances. Bad or useless habits. Hiring others to do vour work while you are lounging in idleness. Permitting your hay and grain to be fed carelessly and extravagantly, and taking no note of it. Stock half tended, and markets neglected. Watch all these things and many similar ones, and work faithfullly and hard times will be remedied. Be Ready. Do not let the Spring open and you be unprepared for it. Two or three favorable days may come, and if they are not improved, two weeks of un favorable weather may follow. Thus you will be thrown back large ly in your calculations, and ultliougli you may have plenty to do during tha time of waiting, yet it will not be in the right direction. The time lost in the beginning will not be recovered during tlie entire season. In the winding up you will find yourself just so far behind hand. Be ready for the first days fuvora ble to your work. Made His Knife Whittle Steel. Washington Star. Two Kentuckians—one of them a blacksmith—recently called at tlie Navy Department and announced that they lmd discovered a process of treating steel which would practical ly revolutionize the art of steel tool- making. They did not divulge Hie nature of the intention further than to intimate that it ielated to the chemical bath in which ihe tool is immersed in the tampering process. The callers asserted that by their method of treatment the commonest grades of metal can be so tempered in the matter of hardness and toughness as to fully equal the best grades of tool steel. An ordinary pair of cheap cast-steel Hcissors could bo treated without disconnecting the blades so as to cut and hold an edge as well as the best English tool-steel shears. An experiment was made on the blade of Secretary Whitney’s pocket- knife, with the result that it was possible to whittle an ordinary steei key without apparent injury to the blade. Moreover the results Of the treatment are asserted to be so under control that it is possible to temper steel to any degree of hardness or toughness required, After consulta tion with tlie Chief of Bureau of Ord nance the Secretary decided to permit the progress to be tested experimen tally at the Washington navy-yard, and the experiments have already been begun. “No Physic, Sir, in Mine!” A good story comes from a boys’ boarding-school in “Jersey.” The diet was monotonous and constipating, and the learned Principal decided to introduce some old-style physic in the apple-sauce, and await the happy re sults. One bright lad, the smartest in sciiool, discovered the secret mine in his sauce, and pushing back his plate, shouted to the pedagogue, “No phys ic, sir, in mine. My dad told me to use nuthin’ but Dr. Pierce’s ‘Pleasant Purgative Pellets,’ and they are a doing their duty like a charm!” They are anti-bilious, and purely vegeta ble. Phkparkd for Anything in this Country.—The actors in Miss For- tescue’s company are telling a rather amusing stdry about that lady's sister who i9 traveling with the organiza tion. When they were playing re cently in Buffalo, the younger Miss Fortescue came on Wednesday morn ing to see tlie manager, and expressed a desire to run down that afternoon witli her mother und visit Niagara Falls. The manager was ufruid some unforseen delay might occur to pre vent the lady’s return in time for tlie evenings performance, and he said : “It would be quite useless for you to go to-day. The fallsare not visible on Wednesdays.” 2 “Indeed! And why not?" “They always turn the water off on Wednesdays.” “How extraordinary,” responded Miss Fortescue, and went away quite satisfied with the explanation. Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria are spread by contagion, by the trans fer of living matter from the skin, the membranous lining of the mouth, nose and throat, and from the urinary or gans.

PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS W 1 Some youug men were asking the Rev. lli\ Philips Brooks about “white lies” tlie other day. “Suppose asked one, “you were iuvited to|inspect a certain picture which tho artist lmd worked hard upon and valued highly, and he wanted to know your honest opinion of its merits, and you could see nothing whatever to praise in it, what should you do?” "Well,” said Dr. Brooks, at once, “I will tell you. 1 should say just what I do to mothers who bring their babies to me to be admired. I always say, whether they are pretty or ugly, ‘Oh’ that is a baby!’ leaving the mother perfectly convinced that it is the only baby in the world, and myself utter ly uncommitted. I should say tlie same thing when I saw the picture.
