THE AUGUST CALENDAR THE CARE OF FLOWERS AND VEGETABLES IN THE GARDEN. • some Practical' Mats for Bee Raisers - They Should iKeep an Inventory of Col- onies ou isand, °Money and, Wax Taken snd of Other Items. During August begins the work of geed paying, In some casee this- poys; in others, it doeen't. In eertain localities some seeds smelt' to grow better with every year, by careful culling and aelection from the same strain. Save the seed - of varieties of vege- taldes or &were whieh show for you. this marked improvement. But where it is noticeable that fresh seeds of certain var- ieties, bought yearIv from .a seeds -man, do better than those of your own saving it pays to buy from him every year. - a garden of mixed flowers- it ie. ditficolt to keep clear different colored varieties. Be careful as You win, your white dowers are apt to mix with blue or pink or Yellow, and vice versa. if you cart afford it, think it better to buy seeds: of different colored strains which you wish to keep clear, every season,. With vegetables it is somewhat different. A variety of cabbage or sweet corn raised at the north when takeo south requires a sea- son or two io that latitude to become "ac- climated" or eettled, before it win do its best. When it settlers down into steady - growing habits, and proves itself a decided acquisition, it would. be foolish to drop it and get fresh seed from the seedsman to "acclimate- over again. Some seeds seem to "run out" when, cultivated for years in the sante garden eoil, and sueh cases it is always beet to change for a new variety. In saving seeds of fruits, flowers, or veg- etables, always select the best and most perfect speeimens, so sitoated. that they will not mix with those less perfect. Care in this work is aIwevs well reworded. Chrysanthennime for fall blooming must be well cared ,for during these summer month.s If in pots they should be repot- ted, as they grow, into, larger and larger pots, SO as to suffer no cheek in growth. A rich soil,. plenty of water, free circulation of the air, and full sitniight ought- to make stroug, branching, healthy plants, free from mould or Might. If you wiah them to bear, oule a few ftowere • of extraordinary size- "eitp winners" -disbud them leaving only one flower to a branch. If you wish a pro- fusioa of pretty, natural-eized flowers leave the buds on. In either cases give liquid stimulants once or twice every week as soon. as the bude appear. The cants lilies that were turned over in their pots to dry out will begin during August te sprout again and. will need repot- ting, - I like to raise a large clump of callas in a. big pot, and to keep the ball of roots. toot:thine break ofi ae much of the old soil:6 as poseilde witheut dieturbing them, and set in a Iarger pot with two or three inches' of freeh arouud them. Auguet is not a very busy month with the gardenerso unless' they sow fur late orops under Ouse, and it is- a good time now to get ready pots and soil fur bulb planting. Sometime daring this month win come the diggiug and drying of (miens and Irish potatoes, arid for the entire menth erchard and garden fruits keep the house- keeper busy canning. Mats for Bee Raisers. Bee raisers should find some tiMe during the fall and. winter. to make an inventory of fixturea on Land, colonies on hand, and amount of honey and wax: taken: There is. se, other way oi telling- whether it is profit - aide than by comparing these inventories front .-year ta year ; nor can a -decision be made until you have several of the inven- tories to compare: These inventories serve another parpose, being- of incalculable use when titaking000t list of supplies, to be purchased for the coining season. I make it a rule to, have fifty one -pound. sections for stock colony put into wiriter quarters, and one noun& of thin, surplus foundation for each one hundred sections. Before get- tiogiaew hiees I determine how much of an increase of stock I intend to make, then. get the number of hives e-xpeet to use, arid allow- one and, one-half pounds of brood fouadationto each hive, The fall or early winter is a good time of the year to pur- chase bee sopplies„ because then quite a liberal discount is made. on prices. Besides, it is a good. idea ta have everything on hand when emoted, I find that many stormy days in winter can be used. to good advantage in putting hives and sections together ready for spriuee Some af our winter days shotdd also be giveo to a study of our failures and soc- ceases af past yeors, that we may avoid the former and multiply the latter.

May siet bad management have something to do with it ? admit that a poor season svidi reduce the crop of honey, but it increases the price. In Nett,. bee keepers in this section of the country had what they called a full crop ot huney. That is, Blunt fifty pounds per col- ony of cumbed honey. It sold slowly at tifteeu ceate te pound. For the laet two seasons the average per colony has been less thau ten pounds,. and sold at prices rough% from twenty-five to thirty cents per pound. Talv apiary is not move than a mile from two other apiariee„ one east, the other west from it. Each has the sante bee pasture, so far es 1 cau judge, hut equal crops of honey were we produced because the apiaries were managed by three different persons. The one east of me made a moderate increase in aniek and produced about ten pounds of honey per colouy the one west, doubled their number, and coustoned all the honey they made„ and a barrel of sugar besides. My apiary made no increase ha stock be- cause I wanted honey, and I got about forty-five pounds per colony. St ra.wherry Geranium. 'Saxifrage, Sarmentosia- • or strawberry geranhan as it is commonly called, is, when well grown, far more ornamental than many ,nore pre•tentious plants. The leaves are oearly round, sliglitly indented along the edges, and covered with a slight -fuzz thet gives them a somewhat thick, fleshy appeoraoce. They are green, beautifully veined and, marked with silvery white. ou the upper side, and are a 'reddish piek underneath. In well -cared -for specimens the leaves are about as large as the top of a coffee cup. I have never knowa thorn to be infested by iosiectS. of any kind.

Onions ass Medicine. No vegetable grown on -our soil has great- er medicinal value than the onion. Physi- cians of higle repute assert this to be true, and present along list of ailments for which its remedial powers have been successfully tested. If this is sos'amions should hold a. special place on the table as an article of food. The housewife has a due regard for the onion as a seasoner, regarding it as indis- pensable in poultry -dressing,- salads, and the mars). dishes rescued from "flatness" by its addition ; but it is only by tlie free use of the onion as a vegetable that the bene- fits ascribed may be obtained, Many per- sons really fond of them, deny themselveg, science as yet having discove.red no com- plete antidote for the unpleasant odor im- parted to the breath after eatine. There are times when it would be well t.7/ abstain, but by changing the water once or twice while- cooking, much of their rankness will be eliminated. The sweet Italian, or the Bermuda onions, are the ones to be • eaten au nature', the flavor being iinich more delicate than the common varieties. But onions are really sweeteners of the breath after the local effecte have passed away, as they correct stomach disorders, and carry off the accumu- lated poisons of the system. They provide a blood purifier that all may freely use, and plikect work in constipation troubles. As a vertnifuge, the onion cannot, be sur- passed, ana, eaten raw, will often cheek a ,violent cold in the head. One small onion eaten every night before retiring is a well- known doctor's preseviption for numerous affections of the head, and is highly recom- mended for sleeplessness ; it acts on the nerves in a soothing way, 'without the in- jurious effects of the drugs so often applied. The heart of an onion, heated and placed in the ear, will often relieve the agony of earache, while the syrup produced from aprinkling a sliced onion with sugar and baking in the oven, will work wonders in a "croupy - child. We ought to appreciate this remedy of Nature by using it more, and thus testing its powers as a preventive at least, which is' better than cure.

As'eeke glided on, in a ead, monotonous routine of sick nursing ; and it seemed to Katherine Villiers as though her life had begun and ended in that dark, sordid room, in Mulcaster's rents. At first it did not ap- pear probable that Julian Gray would ever recover but good nursing, combined with sn originally tough constitution? pulled him through. -During this period she was, of course, thrown very much into the company of 'Me- lia, and, without wishing or questioniog on her part, heard all the girl's pitiful, miserable story. How " he 'ad been so very kind to her, en' give 'er a meal, oh ! ever so often, when her old granny, wot she lived with, got bleed& drunk an' turned her out of doors, after a-beatin' of 'er till she was black an' blue, an"ow, after granny died, an' she was left alone, she crep' up 'ere one night an' asked 'im might she live along with 'im, an' he larfed an' called her a little fool for 'er pains, but still he was down in the mouth, an' seemed afraid of bein' left alone, don't yer know, an' so she stayed: An' -an' that was all'-on'y she was orful foud of him, an' if he was to die, there was nothin' for 'er but to make s hole in the water ?" At length came a day when he was pro- nounced out of danger ; and after that a, long, lingering convalescence. When he could manage to eit up in a big, comfortable arm chair by the fire the room was so transformed that he could scarce be- lieve it to be the seine. Curtains covered the smoke grimed windows, flowers bloomed in pots -an air of refinement, if not of luxury reigned there altogether. 013 8. seat by the window eat 'Melia,cloth- ed and in her right mind -if one mightjudge from the way in which she diligently pursu- ed her task of peedlework. He looked away from this pleasant pic- ture very quickly, however, and up at Capt. Kitty instead, who stood careleesly leaning against the chimney -piece opposite to him. " N. -on have done it, all," he maid feebly, " How am I to thank you for saving my life? Not that it is worth much anyway," he add- ed, as a bitter afterthought, She looked at him thoughtfully. "Not to you, perhaps," she replied, in a slow, dreamy tone ; "but God know.s better than you the real value of your life." " How can it ever be anything now but a broken, worthless thing? But that -Is not the qnestion. I owe it to you such as it is - not to God ; you have sivved it. What must I do with it ?" " Give it to Him ! If, as you say, it is mine to do what I will with, I here call God to witness that I give it into His hand, to deal with au He may think best. Julian, I prayed for this -for years I prayed for this, and it has come at last, You will not dis- appoint me now, dear Julian?" Her voice crept up to his ears in those ex- quisite, thrilling modulations that were wont to draw tears from the most hardened eyes, and those of poor Julian were very soft and weak just then. What do you wish me to do ?'' he asked in a hoarse whisper. She knelt beside him and took his feeble hand in hers. " I want you to give up drinking, gam- bling, all s.orts of wickedness. I want you to lead a new, healthy and happy life,with the light of heaven shining into it. I want you to go home to your own people, and - and I want you to marry 'Melia." " You ask that ?" " do. She loves you. She has given herself to you and you are all she has on earth." " But you forget. She is uneducated, vulgar, with no moral genet -a wretehed little gutter -brat ! Katherine, you are not serious '."' Katherine rose and Stood over him, like an avenging angel. "And what are you, Julian Gray, that you should dare to disdain an immortal soul ? Have you made so grand a career for yourself,with all your education and ability ? If she.has no moral sense, so much the lees is she to blame for any sins she may have committed. And if she has done wrong,she has the one supreme grace of loving -loving grandly and unselfishly. But you 1 -what is there in you to justify you in despising her ?" The sick man cowered down among his piney's, and put his hands before his face. " Do not -do not be so severe,Katherine," he remonstrated, in a broken voice. " I did not mean to despise her ; God knows bow far more despicable I am myself ! But -but -fOr you to ask me to marry her !-it is that that seems so strange." " Nevertheless, you will do it for my sake and for your own, will you not, my friend ? It is the last request I shall ever make to you, Julian. Surely you will'not refuse it ?" Once again she knelt by his chair, and looked up into his face. " You ask me -ask me to marry another woman?" he repeated, hoarsely. Their eyes met, and seemed to cling to- gether as though drawn by some irresistible power. " I do," she answered in a faint tone, yet firmly. " Then, Kitty, -I will obey you -if you will kies me-kies me -only this once !" Their faces were close together. The same attraction drew them nearer. Without an- other spoken word their lips met in a long, lingering kiss. Then she turned away and hid her face in her hands for a moment. " The last time -the last time," she said, at length, and her voice was like music, broken and jangled. Then she rose and went over to the win- dow. 'Melia was watching her in sullen silence. " Come with me," said Capt. Kitty, im- periously, and the girl obeyed. When they got outside, however, 'Melia turned savagely upon her commender. " Why do you go for to kiss lim before my face ?" she cried, in jealous anger. " If I've got to lose 'im there ain't &iv call for that, anyways." " You're rat to lose him, 'Melia. He has promised me to marry you, and that's what I want to telk to you about." " To marry me ? That'a good un ! What right have you to go a-kissin' of 'im, then ?" Capt. Kitty flushed. For just one mo- ment original sin got the better of regenera- tion, and she would fain have retorted. "I bought him for you by just that ki:s," -that is what she would fain have said, but the evil impulse passed, and the words re- mained unspoken. " Do not let that trouble you child," she said, " ha will neVer, never kiss me again I have said good-bye to him forever. You cen nurse him yourself now, and his mother is coining to help you." It was true. His elder brother had died of fever in India, and Julian was now the only hope of the family,who were, therefore, prepared to receive him with open arms. Whether they would equally appreciate 'Melia as a daughter-ia law remained to be seen. But he would keep his word. Capt. Kitty was sure of that. It was long before the remembrance of that last kis? faded from Capt. Kitty's mind. At night sale felt her cheeks flame in the dark as she thought of it. Then she fell to prayiug against the temptation to dwell upon its bitter sweetness. " My prayer is answered, God be thanked for that !' she said to herself in an ecstacy of passionate joy and grief mingled. " And I have made him protniee to- be good. But I wish that I did not feel so tired -so very tired. The work Vs too hard for me, I fear. But it will not be for long. I shall not last much longer -so that doctor said -if I do nob take care. So much the better ! I am tired 1 -tired 1 -tired ! God will cer- tainly give me rest soon." -The Gentleman's Magazine. He Gave Security. " Paper, sir ? Evenin' paper ?" The gentleman looked down curiously on the mite of humanity, ,the two -foot newsboy and said, with a slight smije : " Can you change a quarter ?" "I can get it changed, mighty quick ?" was the_prompt reply. " Do you want a paper ?" " Yes," ssid the gentleman. - " But," he added, hesitatingly, " how do I know you. will bring back the change ?" " You don't know it," replied the little fellow, sharply. " Then I must trust to your honesty ?" " That's about the size of it. Or- Hold on Here's your security. There's thirty- four papers in this huudle. Ketch on to 'em 1'' Before the gentleman could renionstrate the boy had placed the bundle of papers in his arms and was off like a flash. He was gone perhaps three minutes, but during that time the gentleman was render- ed completely miserable. A half-dozen of his acqoadotances passed, and each one stopped to enquire if he had gone into the newspaper business, and how it paid, while the newsboys gsthered around and jeered him, under the impression that he was an interloper. So he gave a, great sigh of relief when the boy returned and put twenty-four cents in his hand. "I didn't run away, did I?" he said, with a cheerful grin. " No," answered the man, with a groan ; " but if you hadn't returned in another minute I would have run away," " And cheated me out of ten cents ?" de- manded the boy indignantly. But the geutleman did not stop to explain. -Golden Days. Had Him Trained. [From the Utica Observer.) They were certainly a very likely and respectable looking young couple and they were as loving and tender toward each ether as though they were not yet married. The probabilities are that in the early part of ,Tune, or, at the greatest, not longer ago than the middle of May, they were made one and iuseparable, and on this particular occasion they were to be parted for a brief few hours for the first time since their mar- riage day. At any rate they were at the West Shore station very early. in the morn- ing, and the appearances indicated that the young wife was going home to spend the day. " You surely will not miss the train to- night 9" he eriquired for the fifth or sixth time. " Oh, no," she assured him, solemnly and impressively. " If you should, I would just about go wild," he declared, " So should I," she replied. " Well, then, you must be sure and not miss it," he repeated, with a sdared look in his eyes. ".No, I certainly must not," she said, with an earnestness that carried convietion with it. Theu she continued, " You will find me a real nice seat, won't you, dear ?" " Yee, I will get you a seat all youta self," he eaid, with an assurance that meant that if he shouldn't happen to find a vacant seat in the car somebody would be thrown out of the window to make room for his birdling. " And you will not be afraid to kiss me good -by right in the coach, will you ?" she inquired, looking tenderly into his eyes. " Oh, I guess I'd better kiss you here, be- fore we get into the car. People always stare so," he answered evasively. "But I like t3 have you kiss me the last thing," she pouted ; and I don't care how much people stare, do you ?" "N -no, he replied. But I thought it might be utipleasant for you. I guese I'd better kiss you in the depot before we go out." " Well, if you are ashamed of me prob- ably you had," she flashed. " I didn't think you would be ashamed of me so soon," and her lips trembled. " I am not ashamed of you, my dear," he began, " only I thought that there might be some coarse persons in the car that would make fun of us if I should kiss you good- bye there." " I'd like to know what that is but being ashamed of me !" she exclaimed. "I just don't care is snap whether you ever kiss me at all or not ! 1. think you have no business to treat me so, and I don't care if I do miss the train to -night." Settle it ! settle it 1" shouted a voice over in the other corner where a drowsy drummer was stretched out with hie head on his grip and his legs over the end of the seat. " Kiss her in both places, or else let me." And the young people walked out on the platform and around the other side of the building. When the trsin came fifteen micutes later he milked right into the car and found her a seat, and then bent down and gave her a smeck that sounded like the blowing out of a cylinder head, As the train moved away the drummer turned around and said : " I congratulate you, young lady. You've got him well broke." Cling to Home.
