Gossip.
The sewing machine would run
and then
moments,
for several m e
busily0
m
the seamstress, her hands full of
basting and pins in her mouth, would
turn to mother with another bit of
gossip. "Jennie Dodson said that—"
"I heard that Sarah Brown—." "Did
you know that John Humphries had
overdrawn hie account at the bank?"
"Have you heard about Elden, that
youngest daughter of Bess Aldrich
and that young man from—? No
Well, I heard that he—!"
Mother had tried to stop her—tried
to interrupt with the sewing machine,
but the seamstress had talked on and
at the end of the day there was a
chaos of gossip bits in the older wo-
man's mind that it was hard to drive
out. Every now and then she found
herself wondering, as she recalled cer-
tain statements and when the family
mentioned names at dinner, she was
doubting people who had lived as her
neighbors for years—doubting old
friends—wondering if this and that.
which she had heard was true.
In the evening the seamstress came
again to finish up a party dress
for
Marcia and sat in the sewing room
with mother and grandmother and
the two 'girls. Latter a neighbor from
across the way came in and there was
small talk of varying nature, and be-
fore they knew it the seamstress was
again telling things about friends of
them 'all—people for whom she sewed
—little intimate things which were
not meant to be cast broadside for
every ane to know. The neighbor sat
quietly listening, glancing up now and
then from the hem she was carefully
basting and ,when the girl had stopped
talking she asked quietly, "Does Mrs.
Brown wish you to tell this?" The
seamstress looked up quickly, as did
the others in the room, and answered
defiantly, "Well, she didn't tell me not
to tell!"
"Aird so you tell things you hear' in
confidence
unless
you uare
warned
not
to repeat them?" the neighbor asked
evenly, but the .girl did not reply, im-
mediately starting the sewing ma-
chine very fast. But when she had
finished the seam the neighbor again
took up the subject,

A Linoleum Protector.
Linoleum should be protected with
rugs and runners to prevent wearing.
Matting rugs are light and wear out
quickly, while all other kinds of rugs
get dirty and faded with constant use.
We have found cocoa matting most
satisfactory for such purpose ,in our
kitchen. It does not fade, nor fray
or break when used on an uneven
surface, and it is so porous that dust
goes through it and does not ac-
cumulate.

Test for Sweetness of Soil.
If you have reason to think the
ground Is sour make this simple test
to prove it. Go to the drug store and
get two or three small strips' of blue
litmus paper and keep it perfectly dry
until you use it. Take a handful of
earth, moisten it very alightly, put a
strip of litmus paper in it and squeeze
the soil together. After a few . min-
utes • if the soil is acid the blue litmus
paper will turn red. This means that
lime is needed to kiII the acid.
After the ground Is plowed or
spaded spread ane pound of air -
slacked lime or two pounds • of ground
limestone or two pounds of unleashed
hardwood ashes on each strip 3 by 10
feet. Rake or cultivate the lime into
the soil before the crops are planted.
The lime is not a fertilizer itself but
it acts on certain parts of the soil in
such a way that it lo'osen's up plant
food so plants can get it.

A Blessing in Disguise.
She has, eeveraL,very distinguished!
companions in this type of misfortune,
The best-known. case is that of Car-
lyle's great masterpiece, "Tho French
Revolution," a work of colossal labor
and learning, which had cost the Sage
of Chelsea many months of labor and
thousands of references. Visitors' to
Carlyle's house, in Cheyne Row, may
still see there the few charred leaves
which are all that is left of the preci-
ous manuscript of the first volume.
He lent it to Tolle Stuart Mill to
read, and, as
in the case of Miss Ham-
ilton, a careless servant, taking it for
rubbish, lit the lire with it! Poor
Mill had to go and confess tho awful
blunder. Carlyle, though by no means
a smooth -tempered 'man, took lite
news . surprisingly well, and set to
work to write the volume all over
again. He confessed afterwards that
it was perhaps a blessing in disguise,
as heimproved his work at the "'
second time of writing.
Sir Isaac Newton had a similar
misfortune, but in his case it was not
a careless maid, but a naischievoue
puppy, who did the dire deed. New-
ton was very fond of animals, and he
left his little dogalone in his :study
with some mathematical calculations.

probably thought th..t the poet had
been. a little too frank with the pub-
lic, and had revealed passages in his
erratic career which were bolter
buried in oblivion.. Ilzwaver, he com-
mitted the manuscript to the feame:a.
John Wesley was the victim ---after
his death—of a similar decision. He
had written notes on tho plays of
Shakespeare, for he was a man of
singular breadth of scholarship and
sympathies. But when his m+nista;:al
executors found that he had .

Did Burton Return?
It is a remarkable thing . that not
one line of Browning's "Juvenilia" is
extant. He took the anent prodigious
trouble to find and destroy every line
of it, and was barely persuaded to
spare his early masterpiece, "Pauline."
But it is not often a wife—or, rather,
widow—acts as the destroyer of her
late husband's work, yet this is what.
