BAD, LUCK. or coon LUCK. Man Who we". Born a Pesslxulst Re- fuse. to Be Content with Life. 4'When a. pessimist is a born pessimist he naturally has .to live and die a pessi- mist, I suppose,” remarked a club wom- n in that pleasant half-hour of social ”chat which sometimes follows a club adjournment, according to the Detroit Free Press. “Uncle Elisha is a born pessimist, and nothing else can be made out of him. He owns orange groves in Florida and spends the greater part of his winters down there. Every winter in Florida— think of it! That ought to make him ‘ its doors are drawn up hearses, delivery happy, but it doesn’t. Hislctters are - generally depressing chronicles of bad crops and good prices, of good crops and bad prices; anything to keep h’im- self in a good stock of ready-made mis- . _ cry. This fall, however, to our great l paid no attention to the other stylish. ' jehus. He drew up in front of a large. surprise, he wrote on his arrival an al- most cheerful le-t-ter, announcing, with— out any palliating drawbacks, that he was going to have an elegant crop of oranges this year—the very largest and finest his groves had ever produced. Though rejoicing in his good fortune, I wrote jocosely, expressing my delight- ed amazement that at last something had gone the way he wanted it; that he . was really in a state of genuine, pleased satisfaction. His letter in reply, how- ever, recorded his usual and normal drop in temperature—the other letter ; had been merely an attack of cheerful mental aberration. ‘No,’ wrote Uncle Elisha, ‘I am not pleased, after all; of course, the orange crop is fine,.unusual— ly fine; butI know what that means. It means that the trees will bear them— selves out this year and next year they won’t have any fruit on at all. Just my luck.’ . “Now, what can one do with a man likethaf?” Successful Egg- Storage. An interesting experiment in. egg storage was recently tried in Scotland. At Leith last. June 50,000 Scottish—Irish and Danish eggs were sealed up in a. storage apparatus, says the Scientific American, and were opened and' ex- amined four months afterward, and only a small proportion of the eggs were found unfit for use. In this method the eggs are kept cool and the. airis allowed to have free access around each egg. which is kept in an upright- posilicn. The eggs are turned period- ically. so that 1119 yolk of the egg is constantly cmlxethlrzl in albumen. This is accomplished by placing the eggs in i'rnttu-s. which. by :he action of a lever, can be inclined in (liliez‘eni directions 1 as nevi-vi. l“; lhis \1,‘::‘.' 213.080 eggs can be turned over in a minute without any chance of breakage.

' On a corner in one of the most aris- tocratic residence districts of the North side is a small saloon that is an eye- sore to property owners and a Mecca. to drinking men of .all classes. Before wagons and handsome carriages. Coachmen assemble in one of the streets upon which the little saloon opens, and, while the fashionable women whom they serve are enjoying afternoon tea, theyindulge in afternoon beer, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. A brougham driven by a man in con- spicuous livery drove by the saloon the other day» Two landaus and a coupe were assembled to take part in an im- promptu “whisky,” but the coachman' flat building, looked straight ahead, and made a peculiar signal with the black fur glove. ‘ For five minutes he sat quite immovable. From the back door of the saloon a colored man walked out, carrying a new japanned coal bucket. He dross-ed to the pavement near which the broughamhwas stationed. ' Putting the coal bucketon the sidewalk, he stooped over and took something from it which» he handed to the coachman. The-coach- man’s big fur glove was folded over the article for a moment. Then the glove was raised to the coachman’s mouth, the cockadcd hat was thrown back an instant, the black glove returned some- thing to the colored man, and the broughdm moved on. Eight front Sugar. " A phenomenon, the cause of which . has not yet been satisfactorily ex- plained, was described at the lastmeet— ing of the British association. Disks of loaf sugar were mounted on. a- lathe and rapidly rotated, while a hammer played lightly against them. An almost continuous rotation of light was thus produced from the. sugar. It was shown that the light did not arise from heating of the sugar, and it is believed to be caused by some change ta-l'ing place in the sugar crystals. The act of crystallization is known‘to be some- times accompaniedby flashes of light. The practical bearing of these experi- ments is on the question of the pas- sibili‘ly cf obtaining artificial light by methods as yet— untried. _ - ._ .. .9. _>- -.m’ Maine’s Old Hill Roads. A correspondent of the Bangor (Me) Commercial says: “Land in the rural districts of Maine is not so valuable that we should continue to travel the roads of our fathers, over these rugged hil‘fi..simply because they did.

EDZEMA IS A LOATHSOME ' DISEASE. Hundreds of People Have Been Cured of It by Smith’s Green Mountain Renovator. Eczema is a disease that is par- ticularly stubborn in yielding to treatment. Eczemais purely a. blood disease, but it is an advanced stage of a very severe form of disordered blood. Many symptoms in the way of facial and body eruptions, pimples, etc., give warning of the approach of this disease for years before it 'is finally established. So long has it taken for Eczema. to develop that it That remedy is Smith’s Green l ELLIPTICAL- FLOWER BED. It Forms Quite an Attractive Feature for the Farmhouse or City Ornamental Gull-den; A bed. in the shape of this figure would be called by some an. oval, but it is not. It is the figure knownin mathe- matics as an ellipse. To describe it on. the surface of- the ground. plant two stakes firmly as at A and B. Stretch a. double- cord- as tightly as possible by a pointed stick or any convenient mark- er, and, keeping it at its utmost. tension, move it around the line! AB, and it will describe the curve ,of the ellipse. If the length of the doubled. cord be only ’ slightly greater than the. dis— tance from A to» B, the ellipse will be long and narrow. If the cord be con- siderably 10n-ger than the line AB, the figure will be: hardly distinguishable from a. circle.

Keep- ing a memorandum of the length of the doubled cord, the curve can be retraced at any time, and its symmetry of shape restored. Very good stakes for the purpose can be made from an. old broOm handle. Painted and projecting but a few inches above the surface of: the ground, they will upt' disfigure the bed. As it may sometimes be desirable to 'i make a. bed of known dimensions we have added to the sketch the dotted lines shown. The bed described is in the proportion: of S by 12 feet.

GARlDEN WORK. Plow the Soil Deep and Thoroughly and Apply Manure That Is Evenly Rotted. It is essential that the soil of the garden be rich to have early crops and " \tender vegetables. It should be a loam and be well drained so that it will dry out readily, warm up early and be eas- ily prepared in good time for the re- ception of the seed. ’ If a quick germination of the seed is secured the soil must be in a good tilt-h s that. the seed will come in close con- tgct. as with all sleedsa certain amount of heat and moisture are essential to germination and contact with the soil is necessary if a good growth is to be maintained. ~ g Plow deep and thorough and then work into a good tilth. When manure is applied, have it thoroughly rotted and fine and then incorporate well with the soil. - Applying fresh coarse manure is in- advisable, because it increases the la. her of preparing the soil in a good tilth. it contains more or less weed and grass seed that make the work of cul— tivation more difficult». and the plant food not being in an availablctcondi= lion, cannot be used by «the growing plants. Rather than use coarse, fresh manure, it will be better to purchase and use commercial fertilizers. “'ood ashes and poultry manure can nearly always be used to a good ad- vantage in the garden, especially as a top dressing, and with some crops, like r'adishes and Lettuce, rotten chip manure from the wood pile can be used to an advantage. When either of these is used a good plan is to prepare the soil in a good condition for the recep— tion of the seed and then apply these as: a top dressing, working well into 'the surface with a good garden rake. Poultry manure being a concentrated fertilizer, should be applied carefully, as too much will burn the plants and prove detrimental. Some crops, like onions, v lettuce, A'radishes, beets and the early varieties of peas, may be sown as soon as the soil in the. garden will work readily into a good tilt-h, then later planting-s can be made on through the season.— Natior a] Rural. 9 ‘Keeplng' Apples In Pits. It is rather surprising that more farmers do not winter their apples un- derground in pits. such as they use for storing potatoes and roots. Thesepits are much better than keeping the fruit in cellars under the-house where temperature often changes very rap- idly and is usually most of the time too warm. But the pit for fruit should. . not be just the same as for potatoes or roots. These growing underground are not injured by contact with. soil even‘ in winter. Any kind of fruit would be spoiled by such contact. It should be inclosed in paper or straw or in a. box. so that there Will be no chance for soil totouch it. Nor should the fruit be placed where water leading through the soil can readily reach it. as that will spoil it as would the soil itself.3 . . u... up? n. aw l. s l .\ (‘3 will and 11.42 a. m.. «bra q (Q A FRESH LIEUTENANT. HOW Gen. Sumner Turned the Table! on an Obstreperocis Subaltcrn at Santiago. A young second lieutenant. who had been graduated from the first class a couple of months before the regular graduation at. West Point, had just joined his regi- ment, and was walking down the street near the palace, says a writer on Santiago in Leslie’s Weekly. He stopped on the corner, and as he did so an old grizzled soldier with a growth of beard on his face and with a cavalry scrgeant’s stripe on his breeches, a blue shirt, and campaign hat, but with no other mark of rank about his uni- form, except his scrgeant’s stripe, walked slowly down and stopped in front of the lieutenant, looking around at. the different buildings. The young officer fidgeted few moments under the manner in which the trooper ig— nored his proximity, and finally turned on him and said, sharply: “Here, you man, did anyone, ever teach you how to salute ?” “Yes. sir," drawled the troop— er, as he glanced at the youngster. “Well, knock your heels together,” said the young officer, and the trooper came to attention with the precision of an old soldier. “Now salute,” he said, and the trooper’s gauntlet came to the rim of his hat and staid there until the young lieLIten-ant-answered it, at the same time demanding: “Now, remember this, and don’t let this hap- pen again. What is your name, and what. do you belong to?" Without re- laxing hisposit-ion from attention the old trooper again respectfully saluted, and remarked dryly: “My name is Samuel Sumner, and I’m brigadier general of the cavalry brigade,” where- upon the young lieutenant proceeded to copy as many colors of the rainbow with his face as was possible, and n u ' slipped away as soon as he dared, for- getting even to apologize.

Corn for Gold Wégther. Corn, which has been the staple food for winter, has found a rival in wheat; ' but while wheat is quoted at a very low price, those who buy in very small quantities will find it still nearly up to old prices. The wheat sold for uses of poultry is usually of the lowest grade, but the retailers seem to make no difference on that account. While- wheat is an excellent food when fed in connection with oats for spring, summer and fall use, yet we believe corn the best and cheapest during the very cold weather, as it is nearly always of better quality than the wheat sold to poultrymenx—Far-m and Fireside.
