The (‘ollege is responding to the new demand. It seems as though the itinerant teacher was to become as popular an institu- tion as was ever the itinerant preacher. The classes will _‘_:'1llllt‘l' in their homes and the teacher go to them. instead of the teach- ersassenibliiig at a given point and the classes doing the travel- ing. Hut of course the new way will not supersede the old. Lab- oratories and apparatus can not become itinerant with success. The new device is simply one to enable those who cannot secure the better advantages to receive some valuable assistance toward a highereducation. The question of method is an important one. For some time efforts have been made to assist people an.\'ious for self-iniprove- ment with practical advice and assistance. The (‘liautauqua Reading Circle is a familiar in- stitution. l’erhaps many have come in contact with the Corres- pondence University scheme. lhit the new uiovenient intends to surpass all previous attempts in the matter of cfllcieiicy. The class is not to be conducted at long range by cor1'espondence or by printed circular. but now the.‘ teacher goes to his class and per- sonallysupervises the work.

Improvement of Wheats at the Agricultural College. Prof. Davenport's admirable "Work System.“ in which each student. by personal observation and a direct application of scien- tific methods to some growing crop, has led to many interesting lines of work on the farm de- partment during the past season. one of which is the improvement of wheat. The principal meth- ods of improving wheats are: First. by selection: second. by crossing: third. by hybridizing wheat and rye: and fourth. by changing spring into winter wheat. The first two of these methods have been used on the farm the past season with grati- fying results. The mctliod by selection is- simple. easily understood. and has the advantage of producing marked iinprovement iiiuch soon- er than any of the other meth- ods. Siniply stated. the plan is to make a systeiiiatic selection of the best seed froiii soniestandard variety. and then by culture and thin seeding. stimulate stooling. length of head. and streiigtli of, _ ‘state. or neigliborliood. straw. This is to be followed year after year. each time select- ing the seed that comes nearest the fixed ideal. (lur work this summer has been on the (flawsori. l"roni the growing crop last sea- son we iiiade our first selection. This was sown in drills. and in order to promote stooling it was thinned to one plant ever_y six Inches. I)i1ring the growing sea- son the ground was frequently cultivated. 'l‘hc first years har- vest showed an average of more than doubled stooling capacity. length of head and number of kernels. The selection from this for next ycar‘s seed has been much more rigid than before. both in kind and quality. While it is not expected that the results will be as niarked as those of the tirst year. we trust that the "sur- vival of the fittest," iiiay produce an iiiiproved (flawson wheat. The value of this iiietlioil (‘1l.llll()l, be over—estiiiizitcd. teiiiatic fariiier can. in a short time. develop in a wheat suited to his section of the country an improved variety that in many cases will far surpass; the "gt-eat w heat ' of some other locality. The second method in which the desirable characteristics of two varieties may be combined in one. is by crossing. The method of crossing. even to those who have been easily successful in such work with other plants. is a delicate operation. and requires iatience. great care. and piactice. he wheat plant has closed flow- ers. The anthers. three in num- ber. inust be removed while yet imm'a-ture. and as they are then below the pistil. careful study and practice are necessary in or- der that the feathery stigma. or ovary, be not injured. As the anthers begin to mature. the fila- ment elongates and is carried up to the stigma. where it bursts and sheds its pollen, after which the filament elongates still far- ther. and the pollen sac is forced out of the floral envelope and the wheat is said to be "in bloom." the pollen has been shed. the ovary impregnated. and the wheat cannot then be crossed. It is indispensable that the an- thers be removed from the flow- ers before they have begun to turn yellow. To do this it is necessary to bend back the gluiiie or outer covering (cO1‘1'esp0nding to the calyx in other flowers). and then the palet (corresponding to petal): this must be done without 'breaking them so that after the anthers are removed they will spring back and cover and pro- tect the pistil. By holding this outer covering steadily open with the thumb and forefinger of the “left hand the anthers may be readily removed with a pair of ‘tweezers held in the right hand. After this has been done a care- ful watch of the adjoining wheat heads will enable one to tell when the stigma in the prepared head has ripened. The flower must then be carefully opened the sec- ond time and the pollen from the other variety put upon the stig- ma. The pollen may be best collected by dusting it out upon a plate and then dropping it on the stigma from the point of a penknife. After the head has been pollenized fine tissue paper should be tied around it in order to protect it from insects. As a rule little can be known {y it the sys-= TI-IE G-R.ANG-E VISITOR. ‘cf the value of the wheat result- ivote on a motion to adjourn. ing from a cross the first year it’ is raised.

The following. written by l’rol'. tieo. Ii. I\Iorrow. Uiiiversity of Illinois. though prepared to aid tutcs. contains suggestions that will be helpful to farniers of any The Illinois state law in re- gard to farmers‘ institutes. now in force. does not make it the duty of any one to take action. In effect it provides for the pay- ment of fifty dollars annually "to the treasurer of each farmers‘ county institute" holding one or more sessions of not less than two days each. with certain rc- strictions as to nature of the sub- jects to be discussed. It is to be hoped that the vice- presidents of the State Board of Agriculture. most of whom have had some experience in arrang- ing for such institutes. will act- ively interest themselves in se- curing the best possible iiisti— tute in eachcounty in the con- gressional district each es- pecially rcprescn t s. The county agriculturiil society would. ordinarily. be the most appropriate body to take imme- diate cliarge of the ari'ai'igeiiients. It would be a. courteous and a dc- sirable thing to have free consul- tation with other agricultural. horticultural. live stock or dairy wo1'd "farmer." in this connec- interest agricultural county is meaning. The active and aid of every organization in the every way desirable. There is nothing in the law prevcntingany individual orcoiii- inittee taking steps to secure the holding of the institute. 'l‘I.\lE. A chief value of such inst.it.utes is in setting farmers to thinking. talking, and reading about the topics discussed at the meeting. One of the most gratifying evi- dences that an institute had been interesting is the expression of a desire that another should be held in the samelocality. Ihave never attended a thoroughly suc- cessful institute held in the spring or summer. The late fall or early winter is a desirable season. Time is left for holding other in- stitutes in the same county dur- ing the season. One might be held in each township in the county. The law provides for a two days‘ meeting. I have rarely known a forenoon session. as the opening. to be wellattcnded. The common practice of lioldingsuch a session for the purpose of "or- ganizing and appointing commit- tees." etc.. does not seem to me the best. There is no need of an elaborate organization. and it is better to appoint committees from an audience present, and as they are needed. Usually I be- lieve it better to commence in the early afternoon,-with as attract- ive and valuable a feature as pos- sible. A considerable percent- age of the farmers in attendance from the immediate vicinity usu- ally will leave the meeting at about four o‘clock and rarely re- turn in time for the opening on the second day if this be at an early hour. The evening audi- ence is usually mainly composed of those who have come a con- siderable distance and of resi- dents of the city or village. Four sessions. commencing one after- noon and closing at a reasonably early hour the second afternoon. is an arrangement well suited to many localities. close with a good sized audience than with scarcely enough to crossing. -—- Ii. ; . -, . i ('ampbcll. iii (ollcge hpecitliiiiri l farmers in Illinois in 2tl'1‘2lIl}_"ill_£.’,‘; -and conducting I<'ari'iiers' Insti-‘ associations in the , county. .

Subjects in which there is a pres- ent. local interest natural lyslioultl have a chief place. Soiiietiiiies subjects in which there is no in- terest niay be wisely selected. if it be clear there ought to be such an interest. It may be wise to discuss dairy farming in a region exclusively devoted to grain grow- ing. or education for fariners.in a neighborhood notorious for poor schools. The interest and value to young fariiiers of the topics selected should be considered. It is often the case that the audience is too largely composed of elder- ly or retired farmers who need the institute much less than do their sons. It is wise to choose subjects for the evening session which shall be of common inter- est to the citizens of the town and to the fai'iiiei' and his family. Topics of direct. practical inter- est are best. but a too narrow definition of the word practical may readily be given. Two or three topics are better than more for each session. The discussion of each should be opcned liy some one who will liav(i.i'esptc(,ir,—.no)igh fen‘ .tl-.e in- telligence 'of the audience to make some careful preparation. If he can talk clearly and well this will be better than to read a paper. There are considerable advan- tages iii grouping subjects of similar nature together. It is better to give a half day each t.o discussion of questions relating to grain growing, stock rearing. and liorticulture. than to have one subject in each of these gen- eral fields at each session. It is impossible to cover the whole field at one institute. It is better to somewhat fully discuss one or two lines than to have each pa- per on entirely unrelated topics. SPEAKERS. There is an increase of interest. possibly of value, if one or two speakers little known in the vi- cinity are secured. Generally most of the discussion should be by residents of the county~~large- ly by those with practical expe- rience. It is a mistake to insist that no one not a practical farm- er shall be heard. and equally a mistake to have all the speaking done by those of ‘other callings. It is well to have farmers‘ wives icpresented among the speakers. Teachers. not only those who teach sciences. but those in the public schools. editors of agri- cultural papers. representatives of farmers’ organizations: those who build houses or machinery for farmers: who buy their pro- ducts or manufacture them: those who have special knowledge of laws directly relating to agricul- ture, etc.. may as appropriately be asked to give information use- ful to farmers. as a farmer him- self. So far as I know no speak- er at an Illinois farmers‘ institute has ever received pay. I’UBLI(JATIO.\'. At the best only a small per- centage of the farmers in the county will attend the institute. Its influence will be. greatly ex- tended if a good report of it can be published in the county news- papers. Short papers may be published in full—~often gladly by the editors. It is better to may be welcomed by the editors -‘of agriculturalpapers of wide circulation.

If your land has a round top hill on it. all the better: your sheepwill licon the hill and drop their manure all over the top of it and the rains will wash this down the hillside, thus renovating the whole hill. The reason they lie on the top of the hill is they can get a breeze which keeps away the flies. which are an un- ceasing torment to a sheep in dog-days. \Vhen your land is redeeiiicd from briars and weeds and brush. you can nearly double up your herd of sheep and coiii— mence to plough a field here and there for cropping and meadow. l l<]very year some suitable fertili- zersliould be used on the land to keep up its productiveiiess. until your fariii will sooti be as ty. A farmer should never be satistied with small returns un- less he has reached the liiglicst ‘point of his fzirni's production. which in most cases is very iiii- probablc. to say the least. To get in grooves and lose entliusi- asm in your vocation is almost a fariiier. lle sliould be ready to enthuse at a o moment‘s warning and ever have the spirit of emulation in all things bearing on his business. Never be satisfied to let a neigh- bor raise a better crop than he. if it can by any fair means be prevented. If your farm has rongli hillsides which are good for nothing but timber, cut oft’ the worthless sci-ubby brush and plant black walnut. liickory.pinc. locust and oak. and thus have something growing that will by and by prove a lasting beauty as well as a pecuniary benefit. Many worn—out farms if put together and prudently farmed would soon demand a good price and prove very productive to their owiiers. The secret mainly is. if there is any secret about it. to crop spar- ingly and keep down to grass nearly all the time. Judgment should be used in seeding downl and fertilizers used to secure a-I good catch. and old. worn-out l land may be thus renovated and will soon be as productive as the contiguous farms. A tlock ofl Southdowns or a bunch of young} bullocks will do the work if theyj are judiciously iiiaiiaged. - Albert} H. Rhodi.-s. -<6} Quality as Well as Quantity. The amount and value of ani- mal inanures secured upon the farm are largely dependent upon the amount and quality of the food supplied. Feeding generously with foods of a good quality will secure a better value in the manure. At no time is it of any special ad- vantage to increase the quantity at the expense of the quality. While upon general principles it is best to apply or turn under everything that will be ‘of bene- fit. the effect of coarse litter. such as dried stalks, weeds. grass or straw, is largely mechanical rath- er than useful as a fertilizer. When the stock are fed largely upon corn fodder or straw. the manure is not as valuable as when clover lit-Dy is fed or when more or less grain is used.

By "benefit orders" we mean those associations of individuals which require each member to pay in $100 or so. promising him in re- turn $500 or $1000 in cold cash in a year or two. Now these seven- year, five-year and three-year benefit orders are all right in their way. but they are too tedious in their operation for this age of push and enter- prise. People now-a-days can‘t wait a year or two for large boxes of wealth to be unloaded on their front steps. What they want is to be able to pay down a few old copper pocket- pieces, and at the end of the cominercial cash period of ten days. to (all around at the bank vaults with a hand- cart and haul off great shot-bags; full of ripe. gleaming coin. ; Now. why not carry the benefit‘ si-lieiiie to its logical limit. and. give "the boys" what they want?

Supposing each member should pay his ten cents. and at the end of the ten days all these billion individuals. with hand-carts, are waiting in line at the treasurer’s ofiice for their money. it is plain what the result would be: The treasurers office would be very much overcrowded and somebody would be liable to get hurt in the crush. But here a condition. not a the- ory. confronts us. In case of such a rush. the directors could relieve the back pressure of the crowd by declaring an ex post facto assessment on each mem- ber of $101 per day for the ten days, making $1,010; of this each member to get his $1.000 prom- ised. the extra $10 being for the treasurer to have a few games of pool with while the crowd is play- ing football with the cuspidors and other articles of bric-a.-brac in his oflice. This scheme is not copyrighted nor patented, but is open to all. Why keep shortening the time of expiration of these "benefits" so slowly? Why not start this ten- day benefit scheme right off now and give "the boys" just what they have been waiting for?— Great Falls (N. H.) Free Press. v The Devil and the Charm-Snake. Did you ever hear the legend of the devil and the charm-snake? It seems that the devil was rag- ing about as usual one day. seek- ing how many souls he could ruin. but did not seem to have very good fun at it. (That is the devil‘s fun. The more souls he can bring to despair the harder he laughs. I have seen some peo- ple almost related to him.) Fi- nally getting tired and disgusted he found a nice. smooth rock, where he lay him down in the sun to rest and think. (The devil likes a warm place.) VVhile he lay there dozing. something sceni- ed to niagnetize him and till him with a charming helpless trance. There were such beautiful colors all about him. and yet it seemed quite terrible even to his Satanic iiiajesty. Making a desperate ef- fort. he aroused himself from the trance. and looking about. he saw a beautiful snake. with eyes so ‘dazzling and fascinating. that no one but the devil himself could escape their power. "You dear. chariiiiiig beauty." fhe exclaiiiied. "who are you and what, lise can you make of your wonderful cliai'ms'.’ If you will give me. the power to possess tlieni. I will be the liappiest be. ‘ing that ever walked the earth. Or. if you will divide with me. I can gain more souls in one year than you can ever find." "I will tell you." said the snake. "how you can possess them. if you will promise. to keep it a se- cret. The minute you reveal it you will lose the power. for peo- ple will be warned and your c.ha.riiis will be shunned. These scales that you think so lovely. each and every one. if put into a still where liquor is being niade. will turn into a living snake, so small that it cannot be seen by the naked eye. but the sparkle and charm will be much greater than ever. And my eyes. if they are put in. will create a taste that will be wholly irresist- ible. And those little. snakes. when they once get into the blood. will eat up the brain and create such terror that the victim will scream with rage. 0. you will have fun enough when once you get a victim started! He will feel them in his boots. and as he looks about he will see them growing larger and larger until they drag him down and devour him. will become alarmed before. it is too late. and he will resist. the. greatcraving for drink and think he will leave. it alone. If he suc- ceeds in that. the little reptiles will die: but it takes a long time. and even when they are iiearly dead if he becomes careless and thinks he can taste with safety. the minute those little snakes feel (the (to them) precious stuff they begin to clamor for more until the victim yields. and then he is yours. You can do more than I. for you see all over the world. You can put into the head of the saloon—keeper to make everything as bright and da.7.7.ling and fascinating as pos- sible: and when they get some of the charmed liquor in glasses you are sui-ii of their victims." The devil was delighted to se- cure such a powerful helper. and he has had its assistance ever since.~R. H. in Farm and Home. » -—— o->- — . American Bee-Keepers’ Associa- tion.

This paper received the icomiiieiidatioii of its liearers and iwas discussed at length. 1 An amusing recitation was then 1 rendered by Miss Mary VVebb. of 1'-Williainston. on the siibject of 1 "Woinaii‘s Riglits." followed by an explanation of "Work at the College. now." by A. T. Stevens. of Alaiedon. The speaker gave an interesting account of the sys- College. and spoke in glowing terms of the improvements which ‘ were being made. Other inem-5 bers from the College were also; present and corroborated his statements as to the efiiciency of 1 the school work. 1 A resolution was then present- 1 ed. petitioning the State Grange.‘ to request that the Columbian tem of work at the Agriculturali ‘and delight a favored few.

The large nu in- ber of light. thin hogs arriving" has kept the price of good hogs low. The number of hogs received at Chicago alone will not be far from a ],000.000 head; not over 30 per cent. are prime. Sheep receipts are lighter than the same month of 1890, with but little demand.

This was done and the committee are confident that the in\'e.stiiicnf.s have l)t'(3ll judi- ciously made and that the sec.uri- ties are ample.

The policy of the National (Irrange in maintaining apernr.ni— ent fund, amply secured. is to be commended: and the committee are unanimous in the opinion that this reserve fund can and should be increased from year to year. Such a policy would give (‘.l]ZLl'£l»L‘.i.Ol'. confidence and stability to the Order: for the prosperity and perpetuity of all organizations. for benefiting iiia11- kind, depend largely upon their financial ability and standing.

Now friends do not flatter you r- sclves that you will find lirother WliitIn~y's name at the end of the article. \Ve have used the old head lines of his in order to have a place. to start from and tell you a little about ourtrip into St. (‘lair and Sanilac counties. lt was certainly the best arranged trip we ever made. thanks to Brother Campticld who had the planing of the same. and to us. it was as satisfactory as could possibly be. con- sidering the speaker. For two days Bro. Caiiiptield and wife made our stay with them veryenjoyable. Bro. (‘amp- field exercised wisdom in not having all the ineetiiigs at the Grange halls. but whenever it was practicable they placed the meeting in a community where no Grange ever had been and then the patrons for miles around caine. How they did come. and from one meeting to another some of the members coming twelve miles. ()ur first meeting was at Abbottsford where a pretty wcll tilled house greeted us. the in-xt jwas at Greenwood Center in the ‘ town hall. here a house full gave usexcellent attent-ion.and we were kindly entertained here by Bro. Gilman and his two young daugh- ters who preside ovcr his home in a manner worthy of the high- est commendation. We were so glad to greet at this meeting our old friends Bro. and Sister Stouffer. And as Fremont Center was to be our next point, we knew pretty well where we should stay that night. Brother and Sister Stouffer are jolly, whole—souled patrons with hearts as large as their bodies, and they are not small. and the long ride of nine miles that night was shortened by story and song and we were there before we knew it. The Grange at Fremont Center known as Roseburg Grange deserves more than mere mention.

"When you are as old as 1 am you will feel very different about the things of this world. All is vanity and vexation of spirit." Strange. Whyis it that the things that are so beautiful. so enjoyable. so exhilarating. so enticing; sights so pleasant to the eye. sounds so sweet to the ear. things excellent to the taste. so lunch to be desired: this beautiful world. created by the3 Most (ilorious l"a-tlier. and man- kind. the last and best. of the L‘reator‘s handiwork. placed in the midst of it. given individual faculties to enjoy the beautiful. to apply to our tises the good. and thereby become only a little lower than the angels. should weary of it all? term of three score years and ten leave trace of aught that adorned the beginning of that life? —~- show no accumulation of- thc God-like in man? What na- ture. which the Father created so susceptible to the influences of its environments. should have imbibed so little of the good. the beautiful and true? That man has not lived well. There is surely something wrong. There are so many unpleasant things suggested by the phrase '*old." that I almost dread arriv- ing at that estate. And here I am startled out of 1ny revery by hearing my own name called. Is it possible that I have unwitting- ly drifted so far adown the river of life that my name is enrolled in the army called "old"? Why. but a few days since I mingled in childhood’s joyous, rollicking sports, and on my way down the stream tarried but a moment in youth's gay throng; waved them an exultant adieu as I whirled \Vhy should 213 into life ,s.wiftcst part of the cur- rent. Soon the companions of my early days were lost to sight. or were so wonderfully changed that I am saddened by the sight and exclaim. " How old they lookf" There are many gloomy things relating to the old. "Old and worn out." "Old and gray.“ “Old and blind.“ ‘°Oldandlame." "Old and bent with age.“ “Old and deaf." "Old and useless.“ Nat ura-lly we dread the years that will inevitably bring upon us these calamities. But in this. as in everthing else. my friends. there are two sides to the view. We have glanced at the most to be dreaded. Now turn and look at the other side: \Ve have lived our life: did what we could. as well as we could. in the light that was given us. We have long enjoyed the companionship of loved ones and have formed friendships which have outlived the vicissitudes of our busy life. and. though many dear ones have gone before us to the. other shore. they beckon us over. and the thoughts of them serve to stimulate us to become [worthy of their companionship f forever. l In this great. world we see in- ;:~:t:ui<-:-s of wrong. many times. lbnt I must, think the wrongs are couspiciious because they are ex- yct-ptionul.

Elilven on the occasional shopping excursions to the city. the necess- ary articles of dress to be purchased frequently cost more than was calculated, and the little fund that was to be expended for "things purely ornamental," has to be used to make out the j amount needed. Most Western girls know that ;on the yield of the corn fields de- lpends the family living for the . next year. But few know the in- ;exhaustible supply of wonderful 5 material these same fields will furnish. out of which a great i variety of articles really beauti- iful and useful can be made. The fine inner husks that wrap the car of corn so closely are as jsoft and pliable as silk. The 1 color is a delicate cream. that has a very pleasing effect. and also combines well with other colors. Some parts of every cornstalk. when dried. will be found per- fectly smooth and as glossy as if polished. From these can be made has- kets and boxes of various shapes, some small and dainty for the dressing case, some larger for the sewing table, others for scrap and paper holders; delicate mats for the table. stout mats for the floor and artistic frames for small pictures. For most of the baskets a pasteboard foundation will have to be made. Many of the pret- tiest of the smaller baskets are round in shape. and for these a small round box can be used. Select a quantity of fine, thin husks, of uniform color and tex- ture; also a few that are heavier. From the heavier. cut a number TI-ICE: G-BANG-E VISITOR. DEC. 1. 189! of pieces three inches lon one inch wide. Take one of these pieces and fold into a point by placing the ends together. Each point as folded is sewed to the bottom of the basket and extends below. The folded side is placed under. It is on this row of points the basket rests when placed on a smooth surface. From the finest. softest husks cut a number of pieces as wide as the husks will allow and three inches long. With the sharp point of a hat—pin or darning- needle separate the center length- wise into a fine fringe. leaving a firm part at each end about a quarter of an inch deep: fold through the center. so that the solid parts come together. Sow a row of these fringed loops above the points. Place the pieces so closely together that the row of soft. fluffy fibre will seem to be continuous. and allow them to lap sufriciently over the point to conceal the rough ends. Sew a row of the fringed loops around the top of the basket. allowing them to project half an inch. (fut from the fine husks pieces two inches long and three- quarters of an inch wide. fold in- to points. and sew around the top below the fringe, row after ro\v. The tops of the points are placed up. and the first row cov- ers and hides the bottom of the fringe. ln the second row the points are so placed that the apex of a point coiues bi-txveen two points in the upper row. "his order is always observed \vhe1‘t- st-\'cral rows of points are sowed on. one after the other. When within an inch of the fringcat the bottom. sewon a row of the fringed loops. The basket is now all covered except a small space bct\ve(-.n two rows of fringed loops. one of which turns toward the top of the basket. the other toward the bottom. Make two flat braids of husks. each of which will reach exactly half way around the basket. and place in this space. A flat bow made of husks sewed on each side covers the joining. To make the lining. cut from thin pasteboard around a size smaller than the bottom of the basket. also a straight piece that will fit around the sides. coming to the lower edge of the top fringe: lace the ends of this piece together with strong thread. Cover both pieces with liusks put on in folds or plaits. Slip the side lining into place. then the bottom. and if the work has been neatly done. the result will be a basket so dainty and pretty as to deserve a place on any dressing-case. the probable cost of which was not over two cents. and that for the thread with which it was sewed. By changing the shape of the foundation. the size and arrange- ment of the points and loops. the varieties of baskets that can be made are limited only by the in- genuity of the workers. Combinations of silk and ribbon with the husks are very beauti- ful. the silk for lining and the ribbon for loops and bows. A good shape and size for a basket to hold light work. is a four-inch square bottom. with sides five inches deep. and five wide at the top. These dimen- sions give a slight flare to the sides. It would look well lined with blue silk. The lining might be six inches deeper than the basket. and drawn up into a bag by a narrow ribbon run into a casing at the top. An exquisite hankerchief box can be made of husks. Color a quantity of husks blue. pink or yellow. as preferred. using a package of some one of the var- ious handy dyes sold so gener- ally. Select the longest husks to be found. Cut into strips half an inch wide. Also cut an equal number of strips out of undyed husks. Make two mats of these strips by Weaving them in and out basket fashion. using a strip of colored and natural husk alternately. Procure a shallow box a little smaller than the mats. or make it of light pasteboard. Cover the box with one mat. and the lid with the other, turn the ends of the husks over the edges on to the inside of both box and lid, and fasten with glue. Line the box with silk the color of the dyed husks. Delicate mats for the table can gand;be woven in this way. They 3' should have a stiff lining of heavy 1 paper. The edges should be finished with a row of fringed i’ loops. To make a frame for a picture. _ pick out eight slim. stuooth pieces of cornstalk: if the frame is to be srpiare. of equal length: if longer than wide. four of each size. Suppose the frame is to be eight inches wide by ten long. cut four pieces ten inches long and four eight. using a sharp knife. Laya ten-inch piece of stalk on a board. and drive two nails lightly each side of it near the middle to keep it in place. A half an inch below, having the ends exactly on a line. fasten another one in the same way. Six inches below these two. place and fasten the other ten-inch stalks in the same manner. Take one of the eight-inch lengths and proceed to t'orm the ends. Slip it over the first stalk fastened to the board. under the second. over the thirtl and under the fourth. leaving the four ends of the top and bottom pieces pro- jecting half an inch. Take a second piece a11d half 11.11 inch in from the first slip it under the first. over the second. under the third and over the fourth. thus reversing the order. With a sharp awl orsmall nail make a hole through stalks. at the four places where they cross at each corner. anti with stout twine fasten them tirmly together by passing it through these holes and round and round the stalks. Select eight. tine. pretty liusks. fold them into strips an inch wide. loosen the frame from the boardand pass two of these st rips diagonallyacross the little square in the corner. fastening them securely on the under side. This hides the twine which ties the frame together. Each of the four corners are ornatnented in‘ The glass and: picture are held firmly in the the same way. frame by strips of tape which cross frotn side to side and are fastened to the stalk with small tacks. Husk mats are male by braid- ing the husks into a long plait and sewing this int.o a round or oval mat with strong cord. By allowing the ends of the husks to project when braiding. the mat will be smooth or rough as the braidcr may fancy. if the husks prove too brittle to handle easily. soak in hot. not warm water-- Margaret liyder. in (‘on nt ry (lentleman. 039 In Autumn. Who has not. felt the charm of these shorteningdays. when slitti- mer and winter seem for a mo- ment to clasp hands. and under the genial aspect of earth there lurks a warning of the coming change? This mingled warmth and chill in the air is naturtfs sweetest elixir. and already the ruddy tnagnitictmce, of color which first flamed out a month ago by the roadsides and in the marshes. is giving platce to a so- berer line. which creeps impre- ceptibly over the lamlst-ape as age creeps over at man. are certain trees to which we re- turn year after year. that have come to have a distinct personal- ity for us which the punctual art- ist will never violate: a maple that bears a single bongh whose every leaf is laced with scarlet and gold: a chestnut whose vein- ings of broil’/.e are repeated as regularly as the markings of the grosbeak that nests there. or a poplar whose waxen. straw-col ored leaves are slied like moon- beams over the earth. Delicious is the morning hour in autumn. when the powdery hoarfrost. glazing the fields. first sparkles under the rising sun. There is then a veil over the land-——one knows not what to call it. whether mist or haze. or the steaming breath of the earth it- self —which gradually mounts or melts away in the clear bright blue of the autumn sky. The purple of the hills is unlike that of any other season; it seems to brim the hollows like a palpable thing. The foot is tempted by stretches of open country. from whose dry. elastic turf the small, late grasshoppers rise by mill- ions; along the water courses the hanging foliage seems newly burnished in the pools below; the fringed gentian and cardinal flower are still found in swamps and clearings, and flocks of birds There i circle high in the sky and declare their departure. No one who has heard it wilf soon forget the woodland thunder of the partritlgéls whirring wings. and the sight of pigeons gleaning the stubble. or of woodcock feed- ing at the edge of the glade. is not the least of the many charms of this golden month. The squir- rels. too. are barking and chat- tering over beechnuts and acorns. and have no favorable regard for whoever encroaches on their do- tnain. The gardens of October are dis- mantled. yet not quite desolate. The borders. with their frost-bit yten nasturtiutns and salvias. bear jaloft an occasional straggling ispike of bloom. and amid a sec- jond growth of purslane and chickweed are hundreds of thrif ity seedlings of pinks and holly- hocks. verbcnas. candytuft. and ililte old favorites.

He is 21 hindrance to good society. and 21. drone among the workers for social and political freedom. To vote is it political privilege. and one that every man should exercise. The elective franchise has been granted him for his good, and to know how to use it to the best zidvamtuge for himself and his fellow-men is the higliest ziccoinplislnnent one can acquire. —M. 1*‘.
