Inlet a friend of mine the other day gpon the platform of a West End car; We shook hands, and myfriend began'to say Quickly, as if he were not going for. Last summer something rather in your way Came to my knowledge. I was asked to see A young man who had come to walk with inc Because I was a clergyman ; and he 'Told um at once that he had served his tirne IlLthe State's prison for a heinous mime, wasjust out. Ho had no friends, or none To,speak of; and he seemed far gone With a bad cough. Be said he Ilan notdone The things They all say th t. You cannot tell. Ile might not have been guilty of it. Well, What•he now wanted was some place to stay, And work that ho could do. I managed it With no great trouble, ,Aald then, there began The strangest thing I ever knew. The man, Who showed no other signs of a weak wit, Was hardly settled in his plitee a week When he canoe round to see me, and to speak .About Ms lodging. What the matter was ale could not say, or would not tell the cause, But he must leave rhatplace; he could tiotbear To stay. I found another room, but there After another week he could not stay. .Again I placed hire, and he canoe to say At the week's end he must go away.. So it wont on, week after sveek, and then At last I made him tell Inc.

" Fashionable "At Monsen in the Heart of -- OH London Town. Step -dancing is now in high favor in Lon - 'ton. Girls dance after a dinner party as formerly they • gave gave, a song. " You see," said Miss Elizabeth Garrett, pupil of Taglioni and most noted teacher of ladies in all London, "you see the style of dress that is required for these dances is almost identical with the ordinary dinner dream. A dress- with a train does beautifully for a minuet, and the umbrella -shaped skirt of this season is just the right thing for skirt - dancing. It must be twelve yards wide, so that it can be gracefully taken up by the dancer ; bat, as fashions go, that is no ex- traordinary width." " Then," suggested her interviewer, who • lolled from the Pall Mall Gazette office, "it is not only the daring few who have the heart to perform singly before a ng-roomdraw- iof spectators ?" "Ob, no," coetinued Miss Garrett, " skirt dancing will be very general indeed At this season's dancing. I am teaching a great nutnber of leading society jadies, among . them some of those whose word to society is law. Step dancing will, indeed, be ',all the rage,' and I have no doubt that the fashion will not end with the season. "To show you the extent of the craze I raay tell yon that some of my papils begged me to teach, them how to dance Ta-ra-ra Boom -de -ay, and amongst those were two well-known leaders of society. I told.them it was really impossible for any one but Lottie Collins to sing and dance that. "One thing which is greatly in favor of skirt dancing as the fact that it ie so much more artistic and beautiful than the ortim- Ary round dances. But this is not the chief ,ogison of its popularity. Men are very lazy. They won't dance, and it gets more and more difficult to get them to learn and practice dancing. Girls, on the other hand, ,r,.age extremely fond of it. Of course two girls can dance a round dance together, and I have often seen it done, but it does not look well. With step dancing and skirt -dancing it is quite different. It looks very charming if two girls dance a minuet or a national dance, or if one girl alone does skirt dancing. It makes them entirely independent of men as partners in a dance, and that, of course, is of the greatest advan- tags." "Anil which of the dances will be the most popular this season ?" asked the news- paper visitor. "Gavottes, gavottes," said Miss Gar- natt ; "gavottes by all means I" The "Coming Rectal."

There is probably no questioe relating to the farm in reference to which there is SO great a desire fdr information at the preaent time aS that of corn, the silo and silage. This desire is manifest in the large number of inquiriee which reach us .from time to time on the various aspects of the eueetion, in the extent to which it is discussed ir, the public press, and in the relative importance attacheg to the discussions upon it at the meetings of many of the faranerte institutes. The principal object of this paper, there- fore, is to furnish the desired information in a concise and practical form. This information is based (1) on our own ex- perience, (2) on that of farmers' who have made a decided success of the work, and (3) on the findings of varioue experimental Stallone Whieh have given special attention to the various aspects of the same- ' CROPS FOR TFIE SILO. 1. In this country, beyond all doubt, corn is pre-eminently the crop tor the silo. 2. Nearly all kinds of other fodder Grope can be cured, so readily as to make it at least an open question as to whether the practice of making them into silage should become general. 3. Green rye and red clover should probably form exceptions to the general statement in paragraph 2. 4. lewd rye silage was made at this station in 1891 by canting the rye at the blossoming stage, tramping it down Barely in the silo, and weighting it to some extent. 5. In feeding rye silage, seine, form of cover- ing is requisite to prevent it from drying too rapidly on the sureace. • vaninsius on coma 8. In choosing varieties of COrli, the aim should be to scour° the largest, amount of stock and grain consistent with that maturity which is necessary to ensure preservation. 7. It is impossible to name vesieties that will give equally good results Over all portions of the Province. 8. For the past three years at this station we have obtained satisfactory results with Comp- ! on's Early e.na King Philip, of the Early varieties; Looming Dont and Wisconsin Yel- lew Dent, of the medium planting kinds, and. Chester County Mammoth and Sheep's Tooth, of the later 'varieties. 0. Of the other varictles that hare done well here, and also in othersections of the Province, we may name the MarnmotliCulaan, Thorough- bred White Flint, the Mammoth Southern 'Sweet, Pride of the North and. Smut Nose. THE SEED. 10. As the power of germin tion in the seed of cora is easily cleetroyed, care should be taken to secure that which may implicitly be relied on to start well uuder average conditions, IL. The purchase of seed should, receive at- toution sufficiently early to enable the grower to test its germinatitg power sometime before it is wanted for use. 12. Toe most a tisfactory way of testing seed is to plant a number of grains chosen promis- cuously in a box of average soil whith is kept Warm end moist. • 13. The charaoter of the germination is more important then the ability to germinate. 14. As only the most perfect ears should be chosen in selecting seed corn, and as it no ust be thoroughly ripened before it can be relied on to grow, it is only in limited sections of the pro- vince that it will be worth while for farmers to raise their •own seed from any but carly varieties; but on the other hand there are some sections where the growing of seed might assume the dimensions of an industry in itself. THE SOIL. 15. Corn prefers a deep, rich, warm, dry, mellow soil, but will grow well in any ordinary soil. 16. Its favorite soils are rich looms, sandy or gravelly in textare. 17. Though not so well adapted to stiff clays, fairly good crops may be grown on them, pro- viding a good, vigorous germination can be scoured. 11. As corn is 0. cleaning crop, it may with advantage be grown on fields that have be- come font with. weeds. . 19. It will usually do well on clover sod, and the sod of old pastures, but in the latter in- stance there is some danger of disturbance to the crop from the ravages et the cut -worm. PREPARATION 01' THE SOIL. 20. The mode of preparating the land forcorn will vary with the place given to it in the rotation. 21. When it follows a grain crop, the land should be at once gang-plouged and again har- rowed or cultivated before the final deep ploughing late in autumn to aid the destruction of weeds. 22. In spring thorough and frequent surface cultivation should be given to secure good the retention of ground moisture and the more complete destruction of weeds. 23. When the corn is to be plowed on an old sod, the ground should be ploughed late in autumn or early in the spring, that the weath- ering influences may give it a good tilth. 24. When it follows a clover sod, the plough- ing maybe deferred till near the time of plant- ing the corn, that the decay of organic matter may be hastened. FERTILIZERS 25. Farm -yard manure is probably the best fertilizer for corn 'where it can be obtained in sufficient quantities. 26. Not more probably than 15 tons per acre should b applied in any case, and more especi- ally where the land is leachy, lest some of it be 27. Frequent applications of manure in mod- erate quantities are decidedly preferable to heavy applications but seldom given. 28. Vtrhen available, the manure may be ap- plied in the autumn on the surface or buried according to the nature of the soil and the con- dition of the manure ; but when ineorporated with the surface soil in the spring, good results may bo looked for. 29. Artificial fertilizers may serve a useful purpose in many localities. PLANTING. 30. The time for planting corn for the silo varies with the climate, locality, soil and sepia - times with the variety of the corn used. 31. In Ontario, it will range between May 10th and Jane 5t1, as it Is considered more safe not to plant corn until the soil has become 'warmed to the temperature 02 52' to 51SFahren- heit. 32 All things considered we favor cultiva- tion in drilis. . 33. The distance of the'drills apart may vary from 36 inches with the smaller varieties to 45 including the larger. 34. The dletance of the plants in the drill will depend upon the kind of corn, and to some ex. tent upon the character of the soil. 35. The actual seed requirements will vary from six quarts per acre in the largest varieties to 21 quarts in the smallest. 36. Corn hould be planted shallow in most seasons, on cold soils, and in any ease when it is planted early. 87. At the usual time of planting, and wader ordinary conditions, the average depth for planting is about two inches. 38. In some countries corn -planters, made for the purpose, are used, but in Canada it is usually planted. 'with the ordinarygrain-drill, when only such of the tubes are used as may be necessary. • 39. In dry weather the land. should be rol'ed both before and after planting. OULTIVATION. 40. Atter planting the harrow is Sometimes used once and SOndetilinas twice before the corn comes up, and it is Usual to harrow tsvice after • it is well above ground. 41. The harrows • whicharo most suitable cover a wide space, aro light of draught and possess numerous short teeth with a baekward rather than a forward slant. 42. The cultivator ,should then stir the soil between the rows or hills not seldomer than • once a week until the corn commences to tte.- sel, but not after that period. 43. It xnav be several inches deep at first, but should gradually become more shallow. 44. The cultivators used may be drawn by one or two Miles until the corn 'becomes teo high for the latter. HARVESTING THE con% 45. The crop is ie the host condition for har- vesting When the core in the ear has reached what is known as the glazed or roasting state. 46. In our experience in cutting the 'corn a low home-made sledrunningbetween two rows, with knives vellich have a forward slant firmly bolted to the sides of the sled, has given moch satisfaction. ' 47. The sled is drawn by ono horse and to men sitaml neon it and catch tile corn as it falls and ley it off ill .9henves upon the ground. 48. Practical men are now nearly all agreed that wilting le tameeessary, and that it it de- cidedly Objectionable in wet weather, and this is in egreement with our experience at Me station. 40. For drawing the corn to the ilo, anyforin of Old truck with a flat rack upon it will answer well, 50. In our experience, good results have at- tended drawing on low, long flat forms, made of two poles or scantling, with head pieces and boards nailed across them, the wheat) being sus- pended to the front and hind axles of 11.Wagg011. PILLING THE SILO. SL It is net coneldered Profitable to cure corn in tbe silo without first runnieg 11 threllKh outting-hox, 02. Tee cutting -box should be strong and of mordent capacity to take the corn as Met as it Is brought Rem the held, Ca Carriers aro attached to the outting-box to carry the corn into the silo to any desired hoiflak er eistanco. Our eetic() aims at cutting the corn into lentim the ef three-fourths of an inele and the re, sul s aro satisfactory. 65. it is elaimed that the short leogths peek more closely in the silo, are xxiore easily handled, have less tendency to make eere the mouths of the stock, and are eeten mere cleanly, 56. When the oorn falls from the carriers into the centre of the silo,or of one eompart- mut of it, it is more easily spread and inter-, mixed. 57. Mixing the heavier portions from the centre with the lighter portions towards the sides equalises the feeding quality of the silage, and preserves an equilibrium of nedsture. 58. NVIlon the 00810 18 kept well spread, that aancrent of traanping around the edges; and, in the corners is sufficient which secures oven settling. 69, It is now pretty well decided that filling may be rapid and continueus, or periodic, ae flaw be convenient. 60. Our experience Savors rapid filling, since 11 18 economical of labor. 61. Of the several methods adopted in cover Ing the silo, no one has proved uniformly and completely satisfactory. 02. 11 is at least questionable it there is economy in using any kind, of covering, all things considered, as the silo when left in this condition soon coats over with a white mould several inches thick, and so Some its own covering. 63. The waste in such luster, ces has varied from 0 to 12 inches. 61. A. favorite covering with many is old fence corner hay cut and wilted, as it Hee compactly when put on in this way. THE SILO. 65. In locating the silo, it is usual for those who have bank looms to utilize a portion of the besemenb olong with a corresponding ,portion of the mow overhead. 00, la bather the silo is erected outside or in the stables or barn, it should always be on the some plume with the live stock, and as near as poseible to the central point of feeding. 67. The size of the sllo will' depend upon the wants 02 the stock, present or prospective, which are to be fedupon it. 68. A cubic foot oil silage weighs about 45 pounds, and we have found that a mature cottle beast requires about the same que.ntity- per day, when some other food adjuticts,as hay or straw, are given. 69. Although it is usual to build silos rectangular in shape, there are some important advantages in having them square. 70. In deep silos the silage settles more com- pactly, bas less waste relatively on the top, holds more because of greater compression and Is economical ef roofing. 7t All things considered, the wood silo with tar paper between the two linings has given the best satisfaction. 72. It is probable that in the near futnre silos built of i•oiler iron, and cylinchic,a1 in form, will be used to some extent, and viewed from the standpoint of durability they should prove a success. 73. The foundation walls should be stone, and the wood Rills which rest upon them should be firmly held in p'ace by iron rods and bolts, corning up through at least a portion of the space. 74. The size of the sills and studs more com- steady used is 2x10 inches, and the distance apart should vary from 12 to 16 inches, as the idle is di cp or otherwise. 75. The studs should be carefully bridged and should have clauble tenons at both ends. 76. There should be a girt for receiving the studs every 8, M or 12 feet, according to the heighl of the silo. 77. The plates may be of the same size as the girt'. 78. The sheeting may consist of inch lumber, jointed and nailed horizoutally on the stud- ding. 75. Inside the lining sheets of tar paper are tacked up and down to assist in excluding the air. , 80. Over the tar paper, another thickness of inch boards, tongued. and grooved and planed on the inside, is nailed so as to break the joints. 81. All things considered, lining the silo on the inside with such substances as petroleum, paint, pitch and coal -tar does not seem to be of any adequate advantage. 82. When the silo forms a part of the barn or stables there does not seem to be any necessity for sheeting on the outside of the studs. 83. Where the silo is large, it may be neces- sary to put in one ormore partitions,. temporary or permanent. . 84. When the walls of the silo are high, ad- vantage /nay, be taken of the presence of the permanent postillions tp strengthen them by running iron rods through the partition and within it., from side to side of the silo. 85. The partitions, when permanent, may consist; of two tiers of inch boards with tar paper between, or of 2x4 or axe Moll scantling placed liatwise on top of oneanotherand nailed handy together. 86. When thepartitions are not permanen.t, they may consist of two-inch planks, kept in position at the end with cleats. • 87. The corners of the silo should ha,ve a board or plank, eight to ten inches wide and bevelled at the edges, fitted into there, and the air space behind filled with some substance, as sawdust. 88. The farm silo at this station has a succes- sion of doors from the top to the bottom, both at the inside and the outside of the studding, and they seem to answer the purpose well. 89. In filling the silo, the space between the doors is filled with sawdust. 90. A cheaper form of opening consists in havibg as many movable sections of the brier lining between two studs as may be required. 91. Of the different kinds of floors none have proved more satisfactory, all things considered, than clays providing the drainage is good, 08 11 always should be. 92. Where there is apprehension of trouble from rats, a cement floor may be made by first using several inches of small stones or rough gravel, with a limited quantity of water lime over them, and above this •a light coating of Portland cement. 93. From the data given, 00117 0110 who knows the cost of material will have no difficulty in computing the probable cost of that which he may putpose to build. 91. ,The feeding of the silage may commence at once, but usually the silo Is not opened. for some weeks after it has been filled. 95. The silage should be fed from the top, as feeding by this method is attended with the least e aste. 96. Silage makes an excellent food for mulch cows, 1 eefing cattle and store cattle of all ages, a hen fed with other food adjuncts, as meal or bran and a suitable proportzion of hay or straw, cut or uncut. • 97. It has also been found highly useful as a part of the ration for horses not at work, brood mares and colts of different ages. . 98. It has furthermore given good resulte with breeding ewes, store sheep and lambs that are being fattened when fed in varying quantities along with other food. 99. Our experience in feeding 11 10 pigs in the different stages of fattening has not been en- couraging, but it certainly has a place as a part of a maintenance ration for brood sows. 100. Silage is now considered the cheapest ration which the farm'er can produce. Lest parties should write for samples of seed for experiment, and so lose time at this late hour, we may mention that the only varieties that we can supply for this purpose are the Mammoth Southern Sweet, Mammoth Cuban, Wisconsin Yellow Dent, Learning.

The train stops sud- denly, perhaps, and a shrill scream from the locomotive brings a score of heads popping from the windowe when there -is not the slightest cause for alarm or even Interest, There ia not it whistle but has its own particular meaning. Tlae long drawn blast is used when approaching a station, or When the semaphore is up and the train is waiting for it to be pulled down. The short,single whistle is the sign for the ap- plication of brakes, and when the ;sound of it reaches the brakemea of a freight train, they will rush hurriedly along the top of the train and frantically twtst the iron wheels which stick up at the end of the cars. On passenger trains the air brakes render this signal of small moment. Two short tooth means to let off the brakes, while three signify that the engineer is about to reverse his engine and back the train. The crossing signal consists of two ehort blasts and one long, and the rule with regard to the use of this is sup- posed to be 'very strict. Four short whistles are to have a switch turned, as to let a train On or Off a siding, while repeated short blasts are intended to scare cattle off the track. There are a few other variations of less importance. • A number of very useful signals are made by a variety of motiona with the hands and arms. Throwing the hands open and stretching the arms out signifies "go ahead," the distance being signified by the force of the motion. Extending one or both arms at full length horizontally and waving the hand slightly up and down is the command to stop. This is generally accompanied by O shrill diminuendo whistle. The signal to back is made by waving the hands 'In a small,circle from the elbows. • These signals are used principally in the making up of freight trains, and so used to their interpretation do engine drivers be- come ,that they can tell to a nicety how far Ars go back or forward by the slight vibra- tion in the motion. When night precludes the possibility of using the hands for signals, the white lan- tern eomes into requisition. The swing of the lantern in it large circle overhead means " All right "; a small circle signifies " Go ahead." Raising and dropping the .1amp perpendicularly several times is the sign to back hp. The order to stop is transmitted by avvinging the lantern horizontally across the body at the full length of the arm. The man who possesses a passing knowle edge of these signals may not perhaps be any happier than his neighbor, but he takes more interest in travelling, and is able to put his knowledge to good advantage, and possibly at times save himself fromtpositive danger. • Low Priced Summer ,Toin,s. "What are you doing with all those time -cards ?" I asked of a friend who had all the circulars he could conveniently carry. "Going away for the surnmer," he said, with a- smile that warmed my heart to him. "Does it require all those cards to get away in proper shape ?" "My boy," he said patronizingly, "there is nothing on earth• so -interesting to my wife and myself as to arrange for summer tours which we never take. Did you ever try it ?

She Rigs Herself Out This Season in a Smart and Taking Suit. The summer girl as an institution is one of the triumphant successes of the nine- teenth century. 'The variety of phases in which she manifests herself is infinite, and eaoh succeeding one more uniquely appeals to the admiration of man than its prede- cessor. The smartest and most taking of her dress vagaries is a new gown, made in navyblue serge or rough weather-proof cheviot of mixed colors. The plain skirt has it leather binding and three narrow leather straps buckled around it, and the coat is bound with leather. The coat is lined with gay taffeta silk and opens over a " decollete waistcoat," out like an evening waistcoat, of blue or white pique or blue wool vesting, powdered with white dots. The very man- nish shirt may be of white or colored material, i closed with a single stud, and is, like the linked cuffs, a noble example of the laundress' :skill and art. A conspicuous and amusing feature of the gown is a pocket cut in a curve in the t3kirt on either side, just as near the location of O man's trousers pocket as feminine dreds will admit. AtIviee to Bosses. Don't congratulate yourself when you hire a man for less than he is worth. Don't get the idea that every customer who makes it claim for poor goods is a swindler. Don't limit a salesman on expenses. Don't stab your man with a mean letter while he is on the road • wait until he gets home, then put on the ;loves with him and have it out. Don't forget there are others in your line of business Who are after the trade. Don't think yoit soe the whole great West and 'south on the desk in front of you. Don't work a man twelve 'months in a year. Don't give money to foreign missions on Sunday, and cut down the salary of ye= travelling men on Monday. Don't print on your bilhheacha "Pay no money to agents." Don't have it man in your einploy yoil can- not' trusts Don't you forget it. -Boots and Shoes Weekly. • A Necessary.

Oa the ininciple that an ounce of preven- tion outvalues a pound of cure, 11 18 wise to try and check a cold at the outset, and not allow it to gain too much hold. A cold in the head may sometimes be arrested in its first stages by camphor, but this, like all other drugs, should only 'be given by the physician order. In a feverish cold, aconite mixed in the proportion'of half a drop of the medicine to it teaspoonful of water, taken by the child every hour, is often marvellously efficacious ; but this tee, should not be ad- ministered unless prescribed by the doctor, as it is said to be very dangerous to some constitutions. It is always safe, however, to fight against O cold by external applications, as camphor- ated oil rubbed upon the throat and chest arid between the shoulders --this is admir- able for children; or vaseline, similarly ap- plied. . • In influenza .0 little relief is sometimes obtained by painting the inside of the nostrils with a camel's hair brush or a tiny swab dipped in melted vaseline. This pro- cess will answer for young children, but older persons may snuff up the vaseline. A mustard foot bath is often helpful in the first stages of a cold. A good handful each of mustard and coarse salt should be stirred into the water, and all chills must be avoided afterwards. For an ordinary, sore throat the outside of the throat may be rubbed at night with wet salt and the neck then bound with it narrow strip of flannel. Rubbing with cam- phorated oil is often beneficial to incipient sore throats. The old-fashioned pork and pepper may also be used for this trouble in children. For constriction of the lungs a mustard plaster should be applied, and the surface . of this should be spread with sweet oil or white of egg to prevent blistering the skin. A hot bath is valuable in the first stages of congestion of the lungs, as it is also in infantile convulsions and in sudden brain trouble. In the last-named attack ice should be applied to the head and it hot water bag to the feet. I,ots of People lathe World. The populations of the five continents of the earth, as estimated by M.
