"God help me !" the young man trembling said, When he saw on the table the wine gleam red. "For two long year' I have kept it at bay, But all will be lost if I touch it to -day ! t But what must 1 d with the birthday toast? Must I slight thejti y and grieve the host?" i He cried to:God, twtough his lips were not stirred; In the highest heaven thatcry was heard. 'Mid the thronging guests was a maiden there, , Whose thoughts were true, and whose heart was fair, But little she heard in her sheltered life, Of the curse of drink, with ite terror and strife. That week the story first reached her ear, Of its devastations so far and so near. And she thought, "11 drink to such trouble has led I don't care about wine; I'll drink water instead." And so at this feast she made water her choice; Ah, sweeter than music that girlish voice ! She" has led the way as the brave will do, And five other girls drank water too. The young man watched with a beating heart, Till the host pressed him to take his part. FIG. 1. FIG. 2. FOOT DIBBLE. GUIDING BOARD. one from an old fork. Cuttings are usual- ly placed about four iuches apart in the row. Hence, have a three tined fork made with straight, tines tour inches apart, five inches in length, three-eighths of an inch in diameter and pointed ar, the ends. The operator walks by the side of a line or mark and forces the fork into the ground, four inches apart, at any inclination desired. If the ground be hard the foot is used to press the fork down. A uniform depth can be seeured by running the tines through a light strip of wood shown in Fig. 2. After the -cuttings are in place, the dib- ble should be again pressed into the earth within two inches of the cuttings, and moved slightly to press the earth firmly against the cutting at the bottom. Test this by trying to pull out_ the cutting. Walking along both sides of the row fills all interstices, and growth is assured as far as proper setting is concerned.

Two triangu- lar boards, of the shape seen in Fig. 1, have deep grooves sawed in them, as indicated by the dotted lines. Two panes of glass, of any desired size, are fitted endwise into grooves in the two boards, and all is fasten- ed together by nailing to the boards three strips of lath, as shown in Fig. 2 A small hole is bored in each end board, for ventila- tion. These may be plugged in the colder weather.

The fun was fair fun, for the fashion was really ridiculous. Fortunately it is passing away, although in the journals of country towos we still read such items as that "Mise Flossie Jones and Miss Lou Smith are at present in town visiting their cousin Miss Millie Winkle." Or that "At the en- tertainment in aid of the hospital last night, the rendition of "Curfew Shall Not Ring To -night," by our talented young towns- woman, Miss Maidie Robbins, awakened the greatest enthusiasm in the audience." But Lou and Flossie, Millie and Maidie are fast becoming Florence and Louise, Emily and Mary, to the general public,even in country places. The gain in dignity and suitability is evident. But the new fashion in names has also its ridiculous side. Mid- dle names have suddenly attained an undue and sometimes bewildering prominence. Mrs. John Perkins, whom her friends vaguely believed to possess a middle initial or so which she seldom used, blossoms out in a single morning into Mre. J. Van Rens- selaer -Perkins with a hyphen.

In the accompanying engraving, from a sketch by L. D.

They should be planed and firmly nailed crosswise of the table, four inches apart. As the common milk pan is about ten inches wide at the bottom, there will be no danger of the tiltingaris up when set dovrn carelessly. The whole should be painted a whitish tint, and all crevices thoroughly filled with paint.

And after all the error is on the right side. Better lengthen a name a shade too much than out it disrespectfully short ; bet- ter be a little too willing to display a mid- dle name derived from a distinguished ances- tor, than to make a loving home diminutive the common property of stranger and inti- mate friend alike. Great people with great names have their little names as well, but they have not paraded them. It is delightful to us to know that Mrs. Carlyle was Geedy to her crustily affectionate husband ; that the re- served and dignified George Eliot was Polly to her nearest and dearest; that Mre. Browning never discarded the odd nickname of Ba given by her brother before he was old enough to pronounce Elizabeth. But who can imagine these women of taste and genius as introduoing themselves to the public under their rt names? It is a sign of improved taste and im- proved manners that with us the reign of the "ie" and "y" is passing, and the reign of the full name coming in. For the sake of the general improvement it is possible to pardon even the over use of the British hyphen ; if Smith -Jones be not desirable, at least it is better than Lou and Maidie. An Eagle Attacks a colt. An immense eagle in Lane county, Or., was either so bold or so desperately hungry the other day that it swooped down on a yearling colt, buried its talons in the colt's back, and endeavored either to carry it a or to throw it over and kill it. The colt started down the hillside at a rapid gait, with the eagle clinging, wildly flapping, on its back. After proceeding thus some fifty or a hundred yards the eagle let go mull flew away.

Boys, don't hang around the corners of the streets. It you have anything to do, do it promptly, right off, then go home. Rome is the place for boys. About the street corners and at the stables they learn to talk slang, and they learn to swear, smoke to- bacco and do many other things they ought not to do. Do your business, and then go home. If your business is play, play and make a business of it. I like to see boys play good, earnest, healthy games. If I owned the town I would give the boys a good, spacious playground.
