TIM NEST,
Oh swaying mak by summer winds
Like natio censer lightly swung,
How slight the tie that lightly binds
Thy weight the swinging boughs among,
A tiny home soft sheltered, neath the WATS
The smerald'eorniees of fluttering loaves.
Soft bird notes brood above thy eloep
Warm nestled math a downy breast ;
And twinkling stare their vigils keep
Above the callow birdling's rest,
Bright flowers below, blue summer skies
above,
Surround tho swinging nest with peace
and Imo.
I bend above with loving eyes
To peep into the (lofty home,
And with a ory of real surprise
Set off acroes the fields to roam,
Whoo-whoop 1 There are, as near as can
In gummed
Four hundred thousand hornets in that
nest.

She's ve-y muoh misunderstood
And vory much maligned,
. She /eaves the good "old-fashioned girl"
A. long, long way behind.
True, she may work and also paint
Remington patterns queer,
But n more useful girl ne'er lived
In any former year.
Perhaps she owns a, dandy pug -
But, then, why shouldn't sho
There'e nothing wrong at all in that
So far as I can sm.
She's cultured, but she's practical -
Can sing, or play, or cook,
Or oleverly converse with you
About the latest book.
She rises with the early bird,
Dresses herself with care,
And of accustomed household work
She more than takes hor share.
Herself the breakfast table sets,
The dinner oversees,
Perhaps the salids or meringues,
And daintiest of teas.
Makes jollies, puddings, bread or cake
French dishes not a fow-
In short, there's hardly anything
This blessed girl can't do.
She plans the tired seamstress work,
And makes the childron's !rooks ;
And though she doesn't like the job,
She darns her father's socks.
The little ones all turn to her
to any childish strait :
On her the mother also leans
In trials small and groat.
She's just the girl for men to woo,
May you and I, sir, win :
But wo must keep our record olean,
She'll never wink nt sin.
Site is earnest and she's merry,
Brilliant, but good and true:
The most loving, brave and helpful
Girl that you over know.
Truly she is misunderstood
And very muoh maligned,
Sho leaves the good "old•fashioned girl"
A long, long way behind,

Tit -bits.
We lately gent out postal cards to
the married men of a small town in
western Now iork, with the inquiry,
"Why did you marry 7" We give a
few of the responses :-
"That's what I have been trying
for eleven years to find out. X."
"Married to get even with her
mother, but never have.
"Because I was toolazy to work.
LV."
"Because Sarah told me that five
other young men had proposed to
her. C."
"The old man thought eight years'
courtin' was almost long enough. B"
"I was lonesome and melancholy,
and wanted some ono to make me
lively. N.B."

and candiee, end going to theaters
and church, and wanted a rest. Have

THE BRUSSELS POST . 8
Fashion Notess.
Watered silk and watered ribbon
will remain in favor.
Gauze fain have charming designs

Ribbon holds its place as the fay.
orate adornment for mummer toilete,
Low shoes are of patent loather and
kid or of tan -colored kid foxed with
patent leather.
Little black silk melts are; a novel-
ty for Wales' 'wear, though many
mothers still prefer the light colored
ones,
Linen plush is a now material and
will be used for dressing gowns and
trimming. It resembles its woolen
prototype.
Red still holds its own nt the sum-
mer resorts, and a pretty dress re-
cently noted was a fine gray surah,
with the front, sleeves, and plastron
of gray guipure lace over rad silk. A
special touch of style is the deep puff
falling from the waist around the fig-
ure. This puff is of red under the
guipure lace.
Pink toilets of every description,
from zephyr gingham to Lyons eatin,
are seen in profusion at all fashion-
able summer resorts, with some ex-
olueively pretty ones made of pink
silk illusion over surah slips. Pair
people with dark hair and eyes look
admirable in pink toilets. Success
lies in strictly s-aintaining tho color
unmixed with any other. An excep-
tion is always made, of course, in the
matter of an.addition of white lace to
a toilet of any description.
The furore for stripes seems to in.
crease rather than to diminieli, and
some of the latest novelties in this
style, present as many varied hues as
Iris herself. Most of the goods look
rather pronounced and dashy by
themselves, but combined with self -
colored fabrics, produce an effect which
is neither vulgar nor conspicuous.
Skirts and waistcoats made of fancy
stripped goods are worn under tunics
and open jackets of monochrome fab -
ries, and if well blended, agreeably
relieve the monotony which a base
of one color often productes. Never-
theless, the taste of a large class of
ladies lies in the direction of the lat-
ter style.

The farmer can place no better

Although wild mustard is mos t

Unlike most other classes of mildew
that on currants and gooseberry bush

heat. It does not prevail in th
moist, cool climate of the British Isles
but is worse in our hot American
summer. This has suggested heav

The advice is often given to plow

Hungarian with the expectation of
getting it full crop of that. The ex-
pectation is seldom realized. Hung.
mann gram needs rich soil, and as
the seed is small it requires a liner
mellower seed bed than can be got on
sod plowed in or after midsummer.
If warm, moist weather muses tater
the sod is turned it mu be easily got

it is advanced enough to tassel before
frost, will make greater amount of
more valuable fodder than the Hung-

Horses hard at work in warm
weather need water frequently. If a
handful of oatmeal id thrown into a
pailful otwater, and one or two swal-
lows given two or three tunes between
morning and DOM or noon and
night, it will stimulate them to re•
newel exertions and keep them fresh
all day. This sort of stimulation lute
no bad after effects, as does that
which men often take in the harvest
field. The work of harvesting with
self -binders is now as severe for teams
as cutting grain was in the old times
for men when done by hand labor,
and it is a time when grain feed for
horses has been mostly used up.
With the labor thus thrown on the
teams they need proportionate good
care.

On the 2fith of April last three
kinds of wheat, Red Fyfe, Blue Stem
and n Russian variety from the Black
Sea were planted in speeially prepar-
ed ground on the Kinalmeaky farm,
Headingly, Manitoba. The growth
of the Red Fyfe and Blue Stem have
been about the same, and on the 19th
ult. they both measured 28+ inches.
The :Russian throughout has taken
the load and stood 28 inches high on
the above mentioned date. Oa the
morning of the 20th ult. the ears
commenced to appear on the side of
the stems of the Russian variety, be-
ing little more than 54+ days from
seeding to oaring. Neither the Red
FyfenorBlue Stem showed any signs
of earing, and the indications are
that they will bo from tea to fourteen
days behind the Russian variety.
John Towner said :-Everything
published about my selling races is
false. I lost fairly with Ross, and
could not have won if I had tried
ever so hard. I didn't know Weisk-
orscher was there till 1 caw him, and
didn't speak five words before the
race. Courtney says that I wouldn't
row to win, so wo lost in the double -
mull race. This ts false, Courtney
wouldn't row in Any of the races
without lie was promised ho would
win and he thought wo wore to win
the double, but when he saw Ross
and Lao drawing up to us ho omUod
out that they woro going to boat us.
