Dialects of the Philippines.
According to a Spanish missionary,

affinity, somewhat like that which ex

Lombardy, Welly and Tuscany. On

that it was mysterious. like the He

proper nouns; that it was as elegant

Ancient Hjf nibollsm of the Glove.
In the history of dress the roaltlon of
the glove is unique. There was a time
when the glove was an emblem of con
fidence. Forming a part of the regal
habit it became a budge of rank. In
the Middle Ages the ceremony of in
vestiture Id conferring dignities or be
stowing lands was consummated by the
giving of a glove. Likewise, the depri
vation of gloves was a ceremony of
degradation. Then, too. It was the cus
tom to give gloves In payment of rent,
the gloves being accepted as a guaran
tee of a retainer's service, which was
the chief condition of tenure. On the
Scotch border the glove held a high
place as a gage. Here a glove trorne on
the (Kiliit of a lance proclaimed an act
of perfidy. Biting the glove was a sign
of hostile Intent and the usual prelude
to a quarrel. Throughout the history
of dress they are found symlrollcal of
pledges, gages, gifts or favors. Gloves
also form part of burial rites, and were
carried In funeral processions until the
middle of the eighteenth century. When
a maiden died It was the custom to
place In the center of the garland which
was borne on her coffin a pair of white
gloves a symbol of virginity and liino
cenee. Woman's Home Companion.

Clover aad Timothy Feerl.
Clover and timothy seed should be
sown early. Sow on a light snow, or
when the ground Is slightly frozen,
about the middle of the month. Sow
fifteen pounds, or one peck, of clover-
seed to the acre. Thick seeding will
prevent weed growth. On barren hill
sides and on fields that have had little
inimal manure cloverseed will fall to
germinate, owing to a lack of plant
food. Spread a thin coat of Stable
manure over the land after the seed is
sown. If manure cannot be had,
spread a thin coat of straw, and sow
250 pounds of kalnlt and 200 pounds of
bone phosphate to the acre. The chem
ical manures will' furnish (lie plant
food, and the straw will afford a covet-

The garden should never contain lese
than half an acre, and better be two
acres. A garden of this ni.e can easily
be worked with a horse, saving much
hand labor, which is required In amaH
er plots. If more is grown than required
for home use It can usually be disponed
of at some near-by market, or to some
nelghlwir who will not have a garden.
Or the area can be devoted to potatoes,
or roots for slock can be increased. Bo
Ing near the house, it Is of eaRy accesa,
and the farmer can siend many halt
hours working his garden, when be
would not think of going to the field fof

The garden should contain all ths

the market gardener, upon lands rang
lng In price from $300 to $1,008 per
acre, can upon half a dozen acres sell
more dollars' worth of produce than
are sold off many large farms, why
may not the farmer grow In his own
garden articles for food that will take
the place of much of the more expen
sive commodities bought In town? The
garden can not be hud without labor,
but with less, considering the amount
produced, than Is required for general
farm crops. Two and sometimes three
crops can be grown uron the sams

Barb-Wire Cats.
The following is said to have been
proved an excellent treatment for barb-
wire cuts: Wash the cut thoroughly
with caslile soap, using tepid water",
after washing, spray the wound well
with a weak solution of carbolic add.
and then dust over it all the fresh, air
slaked lime that will adhere. This
treatment should lie given every day.
No wrapping or covering is needed.
The same treatment would doubtless
be good In cases where horses get theii
pasterns burned or cut with a st&ks
rope.
A hhovel for Hediling.
Where leaves, chaff and sawdust art

Green Hone for Kens.
The feed of sliced litie for hens li
much more than so much grit In tht
gizzard to enable them to digest thetl
food. It Is Itself food of the very best
sort to make eggs, furnishing the gela
tine for the egg mid lime for the shell.
Dried, cooked or burned bones are no4
nearly so good, as the gelatine has
been expelled from the Urne, and It
lime is also In less soluble condition
than while It Is in the green state. But
a hen's gizzard is equal to the task ef
grinding up almost anything. A dlel
of green bone and whole wheat is prob
ably the best of all for egg production.
