What next? I feel like exclaiming as
1 read the big northern papers. I saw
the other day that a charming and aw
fully swell young'society woman had
done the skirt dance act before a select
audienceofequally swell clubmen. 1
suppose the thing will spread all over
the country. That skirt dance is very,
very wicked but very, very pretty as
well, and upon occasions, in a rose tint
ed parlor, with a pretty girl swaying
aim whirling—oh, well, there is no use
thinking of such things, so I shall de
sist.

Said a very ebarning young lady the
other night. “I have often thought of
the great things I would do, and how
famous 1 would be were I a man.” 1
daresay she has, and have little doubt
that she would be a successful man
judging by her success as a woman, but
bow many women would be great men
if they could suddenly be translated;
I am afraid not many. Few people
real’ze the responsibilities that a man
has to shoulder and the disappointments
be lias to bear. How many boys dream,
every day,of the great aud glorious time
coming, when they shall be men. How
many grow up to mans estate, with
those glorious dreams bright before
them, and grow sick and tired of the
struggle and wish themselves boys
again. How many f

Men live, and fight for wealth and

The last verse of that poem reads:

Country Gentleman says:
This fence is tho most durable and per

it can bq drawn at one load and put np
by two men in an hour. In making the

rights, tp which the hoards are attached
at the fnds, on diltercnt sides oft the
boards as shown in the cut. The 2 by 2
should .extend one foot above the top
board, 'so' that in case the fence is used
to iudfato cattle or horses a wire can be
run on top, and secured by driving au
eightpenny wire nail about half its length
in the top and turning it down over the
wire.
By this arrangement the wire can be
taken off by simply prying np the nails.
raft lag Old Apple Trees
So long as a tree has a sound trunk it
is worth taking the best of care of it,
says American Cultivator, and this in
cludes regrafting if the variety is unpro
ductive or otherwise undesirable. On
most old trees some free growing variety
succeeds beet, as it is leas likely to run
to wood than it is on its own stock. The
check caused by failure of the old stock
to supply enough sap for the graft dis
poses it to fruit bearing. Thus with ap
ples the Northern 8py graft on any old
tree will bear in two or three years,
while a young tree of this variety takes
a very long time to come into bearing.

What kind of woman does man like ]
best f that ia a prety fair sized question
and has received questions as innumer
able as the stars. There are about as
many different kinds of women as can
well be imagined, in fast I can hardly
belive there are any two alike.
There Is the prim little creat
ure, who wants everything to be
as well ordered and as perfect as acorn-.
pany on parade. There is the horsey
woman, who dotes on horses and dogs
and can discuss the points of a setter or
a racer as well as a man; there is the
sentimental woman, who quotes poetry
and never has her hair smooth, and the
musical woman and the fast woman,
and a whole lot of Libers, each With a
fad and most with a tally. They ara
ail lovable, tom certain extent, and each
baa charms wfiidb another lacks.
**#
I say they each have charms, I was
mistaken. The fast woman has no ,
except, perhaps, for an hour ortwo;
then the mannish woman; well shea
woman of all others that I dislike and
think the majority of men do. Yon
can safely pnt it down as a fact, that
the woman who is liked and loved above
all others it the sweet and lovely wo
manly woman; one who does not want
to go it alone and who thinks there is a
little good in every man.

Smut of Oats Prevented.
An experiment; conducted at the Ohio
experiment station and just reported, in
steeping oats in hot water indicates that
by this method the greater portion of the
loss from the smut of oats may be pre
vented. The process, briefly stated, is
as follows: Have two vessels in one of blooi f poison, as many call
whidi water is kept wanned to about toms of blood poison should i
120 degs. Fahrenheit, and in the other to - _ - - - -
as nearly exactly 135 degs. os possible.
Have a basket of wire netting, or a loose
splint basket covered with cloth. The
water baths must be large enough to ad
mit this basket. Fill the basket with
seed grain and immerse it in the cooler
bath, keeping it there and stirring it
around until ail the grains are warmed,
then lift it ont and plunge it into the hot
bath, where it should remain from eight
to ton minutes, being stirred or agitated
meanwhile. Then remove it and dip it
into cold water, or spread the grain out
and throw cold water over it, after
which dry it sufficiently for sowing.
The effectiveness of this method de-
j pends upon having the water hot enough
j to destroy the smut germs which may
I be adhering to the outside of the grains
of oats, bat not so hot as to destroy the
germ of the oats. Experiment has dem
onstrated that this may be accomplished
by soaking the grain in water of the
temperature indicated. The reason for
using two vessels is that if ono vessel
were used the water .would be cooled too
much by the cold .grain to accomplish
the purpose in view, or, if it were heated
hot enough to do this, it would be so hot
as to destroy the vitality of much of the
grain.
A Safe Remedy.
When a person is sick they wish more
than aught else a restoration of healih.
They are wilting to take even nauseous
medicine in order to get well. With
many, however, a first consideration is
whether the medicine is perfectly safe.
Will it'or will it not leave any evil after
effects? Now, there » one remedy
known to be certainly safe. It is a bo
tanical discovery, and it is called Bo
tanic Blood Balm, or B. B. B. It will
not barm the most delicate constitution
nor will a discontinuance cause a crav
ing for its further use. It is a sure an
tidote tor poison in the blood. The
blood becomes poisoned in various ways.
Constipation, urinary difficulties and
other causes of effete matter remaining
in the syBtem will cause blood impurity
" it. Symp-
not be ueg-
leated. B. B. B. should be taken at
once. It will care promptly, and is not
bad to take, nor will it leave any evil
after-effects.
J. D. Watkins, Blakely, Ga., writes
“Old sores covered my entire person
and itching night and day. For several
months I could not.work at all. I com
menced the nse of Botanic Blood Balm
and began to grow better the first week,
and am now sonnd and well, free from
sores and itching and at work again;”

Kabo corset for two or three

Two Crops In the Orchard.
Many farmers endeavor to secure two
from an orchard—fruit and grass—
result being that the grass robs the
trees, while the trees in torn shade the
grass and draw upon- the land for their
share. $ome fruit trees, such as the
peach, will perish in a' single year if
grass covers the ground of the orchard,
and though such is not the case with
apples and pears, yet the lesson from the
condition of the peach tree under such
conditions teaches that grass is at leant
a drawback. It- may not be proper 1o
force the young trees too rapidly at first
and it is true that an occasional grass
crop plowed in has giveq beneficial re
salts, but to keep au orchard as a past
ure is to occupy the ground with an
profitable frnit trees. An orchard should
be kept neatly trimmed, well fertilized
or manured and cultivated thoroughly
