Nat Made a Mistake. Nat was a. venturesome little chap. • Ooe ay he heard at school that Sam Webb's boat had struck the rocks under the bridge and was breaking to pieces. Nat wanted to .see it, eo oh his way home he turned off to the railroad bridge which croesed the little river just where it was full of Tooke— It was a hough and dangerous place. Creeping along, the lit- tle boy bent over until his head grew dizzy, and if he hadn't jumped up quickly he Would certainly have fallen Over. And something else might have happened too if he had staid there two minutes longer:for, he had no sooner got off the bridge than a railway traiu came rushing along that would have cruelied him to death in a moment. But Nat thought be had done a very smart thing, he ran home, and at the din- ner table he boasted. that he hut been down to the railroad bridge and seen Sian Webb's beet among the rocks, and had lust time to get off when the Boston express ame Father and mother looked at each other, but not a word was said. Nat thought they would praise him but they did not. After dinner lather took the; little boy into his study. He looked so very sober, Nat began to feel that something dreadful was coming. Father sat down in his cholla drew the boy up to his side and put his arm around him. "Nat," said he, you thought you were very brave to -day, didn't you? But going into danger when there's no need bf it is no mark of courage. It is rash and wicked." Then papa stopped, and Nat began to cry, but he never forgot the words of advice that followed :— " My dear boy, never try how far you can go in a dangerous piece; lways keep on the safe side. , A Reading for Unmarried Ladies. The healthiest attitude for the eingle wo- man to assume towards the marriage question is also the happiest. She may and should consider that a true, pure love is the great- est earthly blessing that the Creator has to bestow on her sex—the one gift not lost in Paradise. But to think constantly and with discontent of this one blessing, when for any cause it is either delayed or denied, is the surest possible way to unfit one's self for giving or receiving happiness. Frankly grant to yourself and to your friends, if you like, that some day you hope to meet a man whom you can liive and respect, but let dis- cussion end there. Anything more un- womauly and revolting than a cold calcul- ation of possibilities, taking an inventory of the eligible Men in one's circle of acquaint- ance, or deliberately planning to attract or win another by assuming to be what one is not, can hardly be imagined. What true woman could for a moment enjoy that affec- tion which she had deliberately plotted to win by deceit or misrepresentatioa? Hav- ing acknowledged her natural desire for the common lot of her sex, the single Eister goes bravely and happily on her way taking up the duty that is nearest, and living a per- fectly natural life, wasting no time in lay- ing plots'in idle complaining or wicked envy. To the married friend who boasts of her home and fsmily she accords fullest Liberty, but claim that she also has great cause for happiness in freedom and golden opportunitiee. lifer vacation days are not depend t on the school calendar or the de- mands any mania business cares. She is free elect where she will go, who shall be her companion, and how long she will stay. The sail or excursion party from which her married eider is debarred by an untoward attack of measles or whooping cough in the nursery is possible to her. Her dresses may be light or dark, high or low, grave or gay. She has no quarrel to settle with the neighbor's children, no piles of lit- tle trousers and stockings to mend. She may sit down in her easy chair when even- ing comes with a volume of Scott or Brown- ing. She would like the little faces at her hearth, the little homely cares, much better than Scott or Browning very likely; but since she has- them not, she has a right to be happy in the ways that naturally suggest themselves to a woman living 'alone. If marriage never comes, If her heart never re- sponds to any demand for its affection, she may without bitternese assert that for her a single life has been best, since it is the one chosen for her by a wiser One than herself. The unmarried woman who allows herself to live in an atmosphere of unrest, envy, diecontent,i because she is not provided with home and husbend, can never learn the secret of happy living. If instead of ;taking a sensible, view of the matter, she ;constantly wears the willow and longs for what has not been vouchsafed her, she not only unfite herself for present dutiee, but for a happy married life, if the opportunity is offered. 5R!GlN �F `C-ANAMAN FRUITS. Horticulturist John Craig Sketches this Subject Historically. In answer to the question: Where did our Canadia.0 fruits come from? we shall have t-ogd back to the tirne when the peasant inhabi- tants of Normandy and .Brittany were gathering the seeds and perhaps the scions of the fruits they most loved prior to em- barking on their long and perilous journey to New ranee. Following the Frenchman came the Englishman bringing with him his favorite fruits, then the Scotchman, Irieh- anan and Welshman, each bringing seeds of fruits best known and loved by him in his native home, and here we have the secret of the non-success of many of these varieties in the colder portions of our Dominion. They were the descendents by seedling produc- tion through many generations of alpha grown in the milder and moieter portions of Europe. Where they have found a, simila! climate on this side we all know how magni- ficent has been their success. Showing the early history of apple culture in Quebec we find in an old deed dated 1770 that a far- mer in the county of L'Islet, 50 miles below Quebec, agrees to pay "200 bushels of apples per annum, and these were nettoabe seedlings, but were to be Colvilles or Reinettes" To these early colonists is probably due the honor of originating the Fameuse, or Snow, and the Pomme Grise. The former had become known and famous and was exhibited before the Horticultural Society of England as early as 1818. Soon after this the manes Snow and Pomme de Neiges are given up and the name Fameuse adopted. The Pomme Grise had been taken to England from Canada and frueted there as early as 1803. These French colonists also gave us St. Lawrence, Canada Baldwin, Deearie, Fam- euse Sucree and others. These were all of seedling production and have been very use- ful up to the present wheniforest conditions prevailed. Now, with : our somewhat changed climate, with :more rapid evapora- tion and extremes of dryness and moisture, they are developing defects unnoticed be- fore. I am still speaking of the colder por- tions of the Deminion. Yet we have ex - envies of long perpetuation of varieties. ; The Ribiston Pippin, produced from seed from Normandy about 1638, is yet a favor- ite apple in Nova Scotia, and is grown to a considerable extent in Ontario. The Gra- venatein originated 'about the middle of the. Century in Germany and is still a fav- orite with Nova Scotia,ns. The Alexander is said to be a native of Southern Russia. It was received from Riga by the Horticul- tural Society of Ehgland as early as 1816. The Baldwin fruited for thefirst time about the middle of the last century, origin Mae- sachusets. The Rhode Wand - Greening was introduced about 1765. The Roxbury Russets originated at Stonington Conn., and appears to have been brought from there in 1649. So we have apples in their prime which originated over two and a half centuries ago. The first practical worker in cross fertil- izing fruits appear* to be Andrew Knight who began about 1811. His earliest work was with grapes and crab apples. As instances of more recen t results, Mr. G. B. Peffer of Wisconsin crossed th,e Duchess of Oldenburg • with Jonathan, the one hardly a summer apple' the other a more or less tender winter v ari- ety. From this union we have the Piwau- kee, a fine winter apple of large size, fair quality'and a hardy tree. The late Mr. P. C. Dempsey one of our Canadian workers in this line has given us new and valuable varieties of pears, grapes ; and apples. In apples one that he has introduced lately under the name of Trenton is one of the most beautiful fruits I have seen, and a tree of great promise. So the work goes on but the 'field is large and we need more labor- ers. A Temperance Lesson not found in the Text -Books. " Say—give it to me, will yer, or I'll break yer crust." '" I earned it; the money's mine; I'm hungry." , "None o' yer chin, now, youngster. Ain't • I fed ye all yer life? Give -it to me, or you don't come home." " Mother needs it for our dinner. She ain't had nothin' to -day." I was walking along Michigan avenue,De- trolt,when the above dialogue took place at the corner of an intersecting street. The principals were a man, seemingly above middle life, with frayed and dilapidated garments, and whose face beepoke a life of dissipation; and a small, barely clad, but manly looking boy, who I supposed was his son. The sum of money in dispute, it de- veloped, was 50 cents, and when the boy showed a disposition to take it home despite the father's threats the latter grabbed 'him, seized the money, and then giving the boy a good shaking that sent him sprawling on she sidewalk, strode down Michigan: avenue for some distance and entered a ignore The boy wee crying bitterly, and when he had gathered himselfitogetber I asked him what his father worked at. "Work I." repeated the boy in astonish- ment, wiping hie eyes with the sleeve of his jacket, "work nothin' ; he ain't done no work in years. Mother and me does it all, apd he lams us if we don't give him our earniles." And still the law protects such a man in the same way that it does the most estim- able citizen.

The Babcock Method Applied fpr Vie lin Dairies. Having established to our satisfection the accuracy of this , method, we have made many experiments towards apply lig it to the estimation of fat in composite samples. I can now state that these trials hieve been successful. The adoption of the plan (1) :requires no poisonous or other preservative; (2) lessens the time necessary for test- ing, since one test per week of each pa- tron's milk is sufficient ; - and 3) gives the percentage of fat as accurate y as the mathematical average of daily d termina- tions. , For the six days' test a pipette 4elivering 2.92 c. c. was used and from it successive measures of milk were, from day to day, run into the usual Babcock bottle. Very often the milk was thick on the third day, in this composite sample but no effect on the result due to curdling could be noticed. Daily tests were made and the res Its aver- aged and compared with those obtained at the end of the week. All the wierk was done in duplicate.

As year by year larger areas of land are brought under cultivation the various in- jurioue insects which attack special crops will become more and more numerous as the cultivation of their favorite food -plant is extended. It is estimated that there is no crop grown which is not diminished by an average of at least one-tenth, by the de- predations of insect enemies, and this loss in some years runs up to one-fourth or one- half of the whole -drop. Of this loss there is no doubt that a large proportion can be saved by the adoption of simple methods founded on general principles, with which all can easily become acquainted. For the effectiae use of remedies to destroy injuri- ous insects a certain amount of knowledge of their structure and. habits is highly desirable, so that, the most appropriate remedy may be adopted, and also that it may be used at the period when the enemy is most susceptible of injury. The lives of insects are divided into four well marked periods. Th.ese are: 1. The egg; 2. The caterpillar' or lareal etage, dur- ing which, as a, rule, they are most injur- ious; 3. IThe pupa or quiescent stage, in. which, except in a few orders, they lie quiet, and are without the power of motion; and 4. The perfect insect. Someinsects are 'injurious in three of their stages; bat the larger number in one only, so that unless we try to know them in all their forms we may lose the best opportunities of destroying -them. It is clear that in this warfare the one who possesses the informa- tion has a great adva,ntage over those who do not. • Insects may be divided, into tw-o classes by the nature of their mouth parts. In the first or larger division, biting insects, they are furnished with mandiblesor biting jaws, by means of which they consume the sub- stance of their food, as with caterpillars, beetles, etc. In the second class, sucking insects, they have instead of mandiblel a beak tube by means of which they suck up their food in a liquid form from beneath the Sur- face, as with the true bugs, plant -lice and flies. It is evident that with the insects of the first-class all that is necessary is to place some poisonous substance on the food plant, whieh they will eat together with their food. With the second class, how- ever, this would be useless, for they would push their beaks through the poisonous covering on the outside of their food -plant andwould. extract the juices from which. they live from the interior. For this class, therefore, soine substance must be used ,which will kill by mere contact with their bodies. -For both of these classes of insecte economic entomologists have discovered cheap and available remedies. Remedies for injurious insects are either Preventive or Active„ and must be applied in accordance with the circumstances of the ease a.ndl the habits of the attacking in- sects. • PREVENTIVB RE MED/ FA. These are of two kinds: 1. Agricultural; 2. Peterrent. I. Agricultural. --These consistechiefly in the adoption of such agricultural methods as High Culture, which will stimulate a vigorous and healthy growth of the crop and push it on to maturity as soon as pos- sible; Clean Farming, by which all weeds are kept down and rubbish is prevented from atiounsulating • Early or Late seeding, so that a crop liable to attack is presented to its enemies, at the time they make then- appeara,noe, in such a condition that they cannot injure it; Rotation § of Crops, by which insects attracted to a locality by a certain crop will not have, in that place, the same crop to feed on he following year. 2.

No worse preface to the story of, a human life can be devised than the fixed Conviction in wand's mind that he is of rid especial consequence in the world. The parent who seeks to inculcate wholesome hun ility by drilling this persuasion into youig heads and hearts, harms his offspring beyond hope of reparation. Every boy and girl has a right to have and to hold, in lull 4onscious- nen of its value, the title -deed to the father's and mother's affections. The child 'ehould comprehend, as soon'as he can lisplthe even- ing prayer, that the live, the compassion, the never -sleeping interest of his earthly guardians, are of a like type with that which warrants him in saying Oar Father who art in Heaven." , I greatly favor the he,ekneyed phrase—al- beit often spoken lightly—"His father's (or his mother's) heart is bound up in tlsatohild. ' If I knew a word that would intensify the idea of the inseparablenesa of parental devo- tion from its object, that would convey to our children how our souls and lives are knit, welded, and fused into their', I would use it here to make impregziable the position that each immortal creature com- mitted to our keeping must have an equal co -heirship in us and in what we have to give. No man or woman should have the faintest shadow of justification for the mur- mur: "My parents , never ' gave me the chance in life that was granted to my brothers and sisters. I was the odd one at home." It ought to be as impossible for human love to demit upon the fourth as upon the first baby.
