t$r.)MELY MEN.
It is rather curleus, from a woman's
Point of t iew, to hear a man sometimes
talk as if his lack of good looks militat-
ed againi..t his chances with the other
hex.
"1 am such a plain, chap," you will
hear one of them say, "no woman is
ever likely to care about me;" or''Poor
old Jones! He'll ns§, er get a girl to
take him with that ugly face of his."
.A woman when she hears such a
speech smiles to herself. A man is so
much affected by looks in a woman -
his love so often springs from some
outward attraction a woman may pos-
sess -that he not unnaturally fancies
a woman is swayed in the same way.
But, as a matter of fact, her love is
won by such utterly different means
that the question of looks affects her
very little one way or another.
To be sure, she often admires the out-
ward man, but unless she is very fool-
ish avery young she dues not think
meet
t of the face. It is the man's
strength that appeals to her weakness
-she delights ill his height and size
anal look of power. In most cases a
woman is heard to say, she does not
care for a man to -be handsome as long
as he, Looks manly and strong; and it
Is wonderful how lulls success a mere
beauty man has anu.ang women, us a
rule.
Even size and strength, however, are
not ne,:essary qual.ifi.'ations in a wo-
man's eyes for the man she loves. Ev-
ery day one sees men deformed, mis-
shapen and so hideous that one hesi-
tates to look twice at them, who have
won wives who not ouly love them, but
are proud of them, and would not
change their personal appearance for
that of any other man iu the world,
were he a veritable Adouis.
Observers of these have noticed. this,
and turned it into a matter for sneers.
They suppose the reason for it lies in
a woman's frantic de,ire to get mar-
ried, and they point it out scornfully,
and say: "Just look at woman 1 As
long as she can find a man to give her
the proud position of wilting 'Mrs.' on
her visiting cards she doesn't care
whether he is blind, or halt, or lame."
But in reality her conduct comes from
a very different cause.
To begin ttith, physical affliction in
a man extates woman's compassion and
syanpathy. It does not stir her to re-
pulsion as it does a man. Then she
is far more affected by his disposition
and character in bestoying her love
than by regular features and a straight
hack. Perhaps this is one reason t. by
women's love has been more enduring
ti.an a man's since the world began.
It does not fade with wrinkles and gray
hairs; it does not burn low when the
light goes out of the eyes, and the
erectness from the figure; it endures,
and as character is the one thing im-
mortal about us, whnoh reaches oa to
another life, it is safe to suppose that
a good woman's love ' an outlast death
itself, an,d live again in eternity.
But what wins a woman's love most
ch'ief'ly in a man in hie capacity for love-
making. His tenderness and ardor
will make her his more surely than
anything else in the known world. And
the ugly man may possess the qualities
of a devoted lover a.o much as the hand-
some man; in most cases he pesstl-
ses them a thousand times more. This
being so, there is every reason why
a plain man should be able to win a
woman's love even more readily and
certainly than any of his good-looking
rivals, and in about nine cases out of
every ten he succeeds in doing so.
The ugliest men in the whole history
of the world have had the most beauti-
ful wives. The uglier a man is, it
would seem, by a law of natural com-
pensation, the more he has the power
towin, the love of women for whom all
even sigh, if he knows how to use it
right.
So Let tble plain men take comfort,
they need not have the least fear of
remaining lonely bachelors all their
lives, if they will only realize the fact
that a fair field is before them, and
woo boldly and like men.

PRACTICAL FARMING.
STRAWBERRY CULTIVATION.
Early in the spring is when the new
strawberry keds should be made,
and those) who contemplate having them
cannot prepare the ground too soon.
It is a fact that but few farmers, com-
paratively, know how to grow straw-
berries. It was for a long time be-
lieyod that it was diffioult and labor-
ious to grow them, when, in fact, there
is no crop grown in a garden, that
can be produced as easily, or which
gives such valuable results in propor-
tion to cost. They can be had on every
farm, and abundantly.
Plough or spade the ground as deep
as possible, a,nd then spread over the
surface manure to the depth of two
or three inches, working it well into
the soil, but before working the ground
apply also, for an aore, a mixture of
100 pounds nitrate of soda, 100 pounds
bone meal, and 150 pounds§ muriate of
potaish. Let it be done the first warm
day ; be sure and work the manure.
and fertilizer well into the soil, and
make the soil as fine as possible. Then
leave it until April, when the ground
should be worked over again. For a
small patch the labor will not be Dost-,
ly. and, as the first preparation is the
most important, the work should be
well done. After the plants are set out
but little work will be entailed on the
farmer. As there are new and better
varieties introduced every year, get
from some reliable nurseryman two
kin ds-staminate and pistillate, male
an.1 female, plants, as the selection of
varieties depends on whether the soil
is heavy or light. If for a garden,
make the rows three feet apart, placing
the plants one foot al art in the row.
Every fourth row should consist of the
ataminate variety and the others of
the pistillate kind. A patch 25 by 100
feet would require about 900 plants.
Use only young plants -runners from
last spring's growth -which may be
known by their roots being nearly
white, those of old plants being dark,
Set them in straight rows, pressing
th.o earth well around the roots. using
ater, if necessary, being careful not
to cover the crowns of'the plants.
After the plants begin to grow, use
the hoe and work between the plants
well. A hand -wheel hoe may he used
bete een the rows, and it will work
very close to the plants without injur-
ing them. If the plants are " checked"
in the rows -that is, placed in lines
hoth lengthwise and crosswise -the or-
dinary hoe need not be used, as the
wheel hoe will enable one to do the
werlr of several men with hoes. In
that manner asmall patch can be hoed
in fifteen minutes or even in less time.
Do not wait for grass and weeds to apt
pear, but keep the soil loose. During
the summer each plant will throw out
runners, and soon the bed will be thick-
ly matted. It will be an advantage
then. to cut the stems which connect
the runners with, the parent plants.
Should weeds or grass appear in the
matted rows pull them out by hand.
If the matted rows are a foot wide, it
will leave but a small space between
the rows to cultivate. If water can be
applied on a small hatch during a dry
spell it will he beneficial. Along in
the fall, ,just as winter approaches, cov-
er the rows with fine manure, an'I over
the manure use a light mulch of salt
hay or stra'.v. 1'arly in the spring rake
the bed over, so as to remove the mulch
and rake the manure fine, leaving. the
mn1e11 l etween the rows, and after I he
plants are ttell up use straw or salt
hay un ler them, so as to have the ber-
ries clean. These details are not as
lal,nr'oiis as they seem for a small riot,
a.n 1 if choice varieties are used the ex-
periment will be very satisfactory. The
instructions apply to larger areas also
if heavy yields of choice fruit are de-
sired.
HOME LiFE OF FARMERS' WIVES
ANT) DAUGHTERS.
The average farmer seems to know
little of the beauty, rest and blessings
of an ideal home, says a writer. it
takes' but little to make it, little
to beautify it, but if that little is
lacking they have only a house for
their families to live in -not a home.
In the first place build the house as
the women folks want Lt, and conven-
ient for 'them, instead of yourself, for
there they work from year to year,
with little to 1•rea':c the dull monotony
of their lives. Have for their use etery
kind of labor-saving machinery ; wa-
ter from both well and cistern in the
sink or porcb, and plenty of closets and
shady porches.
And in this home have music, the best
magazines, general newspapers, agri-
cultural papers and hooks and books.
Then have lois of easy chairs and a
lounge. And, hest of all, see that they
have time to rest and react and think a
thought all their own once in a while.
Don't .kee pyour daughters out of
school to help mother. It's the 'worst
kind of rohbery to rob them of the
cbance to get a good education. Rather
hire a girl to work -same as you do
men.
Instead of having the dooryard open
to commons, as most of them are, have
it fenced. Have beautiful shrubbery,
a pla:'o for them to have flowers, a cro-
quet ground, swing and hammock ;
u,nrl then take time to play an occasion -
a: game with them, or read aloud to
them on the shady porch, while they
darn your hose.
And do have your garden fenced from
pigs an 1 hens, Don't wear women out
ho,iy and soul, chasing and fretting,
trying to save their berries and vege-
tables.
There should be a horse and buggy,
their very own, that they may use
whenever they wish, and our daugh-
ter has her caddie as well.
Both mother and daughter realize
they have a duty to perform, a respon-
sibility to meet, and rightly expect
some benefits. Then let each share in
the results of the lelbor. One pocket-
book is not large enough for the whole
family ; esteem your wives and daugh-
ters too highly to see them heeome
slaves to household drudgery ; make
them feel independent ani that co-op-
erati.on of the whole family is neces-
sary to prosperity.
Let them feel that the moat priceless
thing on the farm is the family ; go
with them to church, lecture* picnics,
clubs and institutions; give them the
chance to advance physically, mental-
ly and socially, as your equal, and see
how happy they will lie.
Let them understand your financial
affairs; tell them of your gains or
losses, Then they will know if they
may have some coveted article or must
economize to hel pfather, Give them
more of your society, he to them friend
and companion, as well as husband and
father. Li've more with them, instead
of for them. Share with them their
toil, pleasure and recreations, and their
home will be happy and attractive.
WERE AND HOW TO PLANT
GRAPES.
To get the beat results the vineyard
should be planted'on high ground, and
warm southern slope. It requires a
warm, loamy soil, well drained, and a
porous subsoil. The soil should nob be
excessively riob in nitrogen. Too much
barnyard manure causes an over-
growth of wood, accompanied by few
grapes of poor quality. The grape re-
quires Potash and if the soil is not
strong in potash scatter ashes in tbe
vineyard, or supply it by means of com-
meroial potash fertilizers.
The post and wire trellis is the best,
but should be much higher than it is
generally made, at least 4 1-2 ft., with
the arms of the vines fastened along
the top wire, which allows the grapes
to hang beneath a leafy canopy and
also permits free circulation of air be-
neath the foliage.
Cultivation should be constant and
thorough. but shallow, getting much
sunshine and oxygen in the surface of
the soil and preventing too great ev-
aporation of moisture. Ordinarily
grapes are not pruned as close as they
should be. It is hard to impress up-
on the beginner the necessity of very
close pruning. The old Concord is still
the leading grape, but it is too often
marketed half green. It should hang
on the vines from two to three weeks
after it begins to color. The Worden
is fast pushing its way into popular fav-
or, and largely as a result of the prac-
tice above mentioned of marketing the
Concord half ripe, will soon displace
the latter in the nearby market. It
does not ship well. Moore's Early and
Agawam are both profitable grapes
when not raised in Large quantities,
Moore's Early for early table use, and
Agawam to he kept until midwinter
in cold storage.
KEEPING MICE FROM TREES.
I have read lately, writes D. R. Wis-
el, in several farm papers, the different
methods used by different men to pre-
vent the girdling of trees by mice or
rabbits. One says he banks up around
the tree, another winds with hay Pope,
and still another cleans away all dead
grass and weeds and winds the trees
with wire screen, and yet Pee protec-
tion is not complete. The mice will
get under or the snow will drift deep
and the rabbits will get over the pro-
tection. There is one sure, easy way
to keep all kinds of vermin away from
trees, and that is. a thorough applica-
ticn of soft soap. Scrub the tree from
the ground up high enough so that
the rabbit cannot stand on the drift
and reach above where the soap has
been applied, and your tree is safe no
matter how much old grass or weeds,
or how many mice and rabbits there
are. And the soap will be a great ben-
efit to the tree.
TO SAVE THE CHERRIES.
As a protection to our cherries when
ripening plant a row of Russian mul-
berry trees for the birds to eat.
WHAT WAS THE SONG.
An A Ing Example of lite Want of a
11u.lrnl Ear
The musician can scarcely conceive
how it is possible for a human being
to be eo devoid of musical ear as not
to know one tune from another, but
instances of such deficiency are ex-
ceedingly common. 'Answers cites an
amusing example.
Two sal fors returned from a long voy-
age., strolled into a public house near
the docks. Above the rumble of the
traffic in the street could be heard at
intervals the loud, unmusical voice of
a 'huckstsr. After listening intently
for a minute one of the sailors turned
to h:e companion and said:
"Eh, Jack, lad; it's a icing time since
we heard that song."
' iti hat gang 1"
"The orae that fellow's singing in the
street -'The L:,ght of Other Days.'"
"Stow it I" ejaculated the other, gruf-
fly. "That fellow mint singing 'The
L:ght of Other Days' at all, man. I've
been listening to him. He's a -piping
'The Banks of Aldan Water.'" •
Each sailor was certain he was right,
and with characteristic contempt for
money, a wager was made -a month's
wages depending on the result.
"Here, Tommy I" called out one of
the mien to the lr,ttle son of the land-
lord, "run out and get to know what
that fellow's singing."
Tommy departed an his errand, which
did not take many minutes.
"Well.," demanded Jack, when the
youngster returned, "which of us is

"Nayther of ye." replied Tammy,grim-

RARE SAPPHIRE.
Contalusan Opalescent Star That Change
Its roslfion.
A Ceylon sapphitre, now in that city,
the property of Major-General Robley
is not less remarkable for its size than
for its translucency and the brilliance
of the optical effects it can show. The
weight of the gear is 638 carats, and it
is of a dark, milky blue color, perfectly
transparent and flawless. Larger sap-
phires have been known; they have usu-
ally, if not always been dull and muddy
instead of having the clear, translucent
color of this specimen. bat in addition
itt possesses a property occhsiona:ly
found in siig,htly cloudy or milky Cey-
lon sapphires -and sometimes in other
genre, too -which greatly enhances its
value in the eyes of believers in the oc-
cult powers of precious stones to con-
fer health and good fortune on their
wearers. It is a star sapphire or mat-
eriel. That is, being curt en cabochon,
it displays a beautiful opalescent star,
dividing its six rays at the apex, which
changes ills posititul according to the
moveanent of the he source of light by
which it is viewed. By employing two
or three sources of light, two or three
of these stare can be s;tm,ultaneneusly
seen in the gam. By further cutting,
it is snid that the beauty of this stone
could be still more increased, but of
course, at the expense of its size,

NOTES AND cOMMD4YT3.
In the February number of the For-
um, Mr. F. C. Penfield, lately United
States diplomatic agent at Cairo, des-
cribes the extent to which the agricul-
tural resources of the Nile Valley have
been developed by British administra-
tion. His testimony is the more trust-
worthy because he is b!i no means one
of those who think that England's oc-
cupation of Egypt is defensible from
a moral point of view: At the same
time he considers that to discuss the
legal or ethical right of Great Britain
to control Egypt, is now, at the end
of sixteen years as superfluous as it
would be for a lawyer to argue that
the State has no power to arrest his
client when the latter is already a pri-
soner behind the bars. Mr. Penfield
believes that the British Government
intends not only to retain possession
of Dongola, which has been recently
occupied, but also to recover the whole
of the eastern Soudan, and that with
this territorial extension is connected
an industrial programme of great im-
portance,
We are reminded that the well-known
explorer, Sir Samuel Baker, aftei des-
cending the Nile from its source to its
mouth, expressed the opinion that the
river might be so controlled that the
enormous volume of water which now
rushes uselessly into the Mediterran-
ean, might be made to transform. the
Nubian desert into cotton fields that
would render England independent of
America. As a matter of fact, tbe
Delta of the Nile is already a great cot-
ton field, the chltivation of the plant
having doubled since the British occu-
pation of Egypt began. New irrigation
works are being constructed continu-
ally, and as these increase the cultiv-
able area the soil reclaimed is planted
with cotton. What gives Egyptian cot-
ton its peculiar value is the length
of its fibre, an inch and a half. Owing
to this element of su)ieriority, last
year's crop, which amounted to 1,100,-
000 bales of 500 pounds each, was sold
at a price 2 cents per pound in excess
of quotatioays for American upland cot-
ton. The Egyptian fibre has become
a necessity •not only in Europe, but
also in the United States, for the latter
country buys 100,000 hales of Nile cot-
ton annually, and in New England the
consumption of the staple is increas-
ing.
Not only is the Egyptian cotton sup-
erior to that grown by Southern plant -
ars since the practical abandonment
of the Sea Island staple, but there are
other advantages on the side of the
fellaheen product. The fertility of the
Nile soil permits the harvesting of a
crop averaging nearly five hundred
weight per acre ; there is no dread of
frost; and the requisite labor may be
secured for 15 to 18 cents a day per
man. As it is, Egypt now derives:from
cotton, for both staple and seed, near-
ly $55,000,000 a year, and this is likely
to he increased by some 40 per cent.,
if Mr. Penfield is justified in the com-
putation that the Nile Delta, five years
hence, will produce a million and a
half bales. The revenue at present ob-
tained from cotton suffices to pay this
interest on an enormous debt and to
carry on the Government; indeed,
there would be a surplus in the Trea-
sury but for the cost of the military
expedition up the Nile.
MAGNETIC QUALITY OF SELF-
RELIANCE.
"It is a curious fact," said . Mr. Bif-
fleby, "that the more self -helpful a
main is the more help he gets from
others. Curious, but not strange.
Everybody likes the self-reliant and
courageous man. He is magnetic, and
things tend his way."
HIS FORCE OF HABIT.
Skinflint is so absent-minded and
such a creature of habit that one day
when a lady called upon him and asked
him for $5 for some charity, he turned
upon her sharply and, imagining him-
self to be in the bosom of his family,
asked:
Where's that dollar Pg -ave you last
week ?
