Probably tmmj ao not owe their new honors to am distinction they have achieved round the festive mahogany, but it hM contributed in no small measure to their deserved fame. A girl In England recently drowned mmiwmu oecause some "professor of Papistry" had "read the lines of her ftutf," and had predicted trouble for or. She was scared into self-murder by als reckless prophecy. Then her father, deploring her "silly faith" in what he declared was idle folly, tried to find her body by throwing into the pead a loaf of bread ballasted with futeksllver, believing the loaf would "Jump around" when It floated over the pot where she lay. Superstitions die hard. This was a case of the kettle calling the pot black. How Is it with i who regard this unfortunate girl her Ignorant father with pitying t How many of all the scoffer. would object to sitting down with thirteen at the table? The speech of society has grown more refined. Swearing is going out of vogue in all Its ruder forum." New York Sun, This must have been writ ten by some contributor who does not go about very much. Very likely he Is a gentleman who never goes any where unaccompanied by ladles. He may know ail about "society.' We rer gret to say he is not familiar with the American people. Swearing going out of vogue? We wish it were. But any body who goes much among the people j of this country, and es)eeially one who listens to the conversation of the young men in our (streets, knows that profane swearing is exceedingly common. fact there seem to be more youngsters than ever before who cannot utter three consecutive sentences withou one or more oaths. It grieves as to say that this is not only true of the big cities, or of the cities of the wt or South. It is true of every New En gland city and town. One cannot help Knowing this who rides in smoking cars on our railroads or listens to the conversation of the sporty youths of the period, wherever two or three of them are gathered together. It is melancholy fact that there are thou sands of youngsters who are habitual and Incessant swearers. Our observe uou is mat there are a great many more than there were a quarter of century ago. Profanity of speech by men in public places, accompanied by rude and boorish disregard of the feel ings of strangers who may be unwill ing and disgusted listeners to their vile conversation, has become a crying nui sance in this country. Is there any man or woman of refinement who ! compelled to travel much in the United States who will not assent to this state ment? Waate of Poll by Flwlnr. It Is always a loss to leave soli naked through the wiuter, especially If the surface soil is friable. Unless snow come as a coveriug, much of it will be blown Into adjoining fields. Often when snow comes it will be wind swept into banks behind fences on its leeward side, and so soon as the banks are formed the snow will be darkened by clouds of fine dust, which Is deposited on Its surface. This wind-blown soil is always extremely rich, as is shown by the quicker growth and darker green of the gram? that grows up after the bank has melted in spring. Always the land on the lee side of fields that have been much and long plowed is richer near the fence on the leeward side than it is nearer the center of the field. For this reason, when eiowinc. turn the fur. rows as much as possible from the fences towards the center of the field. Doubtless there Is much blowing of surface dirt in summer showers, though It is not so plain to the sight as it is when the dark rim lies on top of a white bank of snow. ProtccHns l-brnba.

It is usually said that horse-radish will grow anywhere, and It would al most seem that this Is true, so diaicult Is It to fully exterminate the roots once they are firmly established. Bat It Is not true that horse-radii-li will grow as well without care and fertilizer as with It. In startinir a new bed the crowns of old plants may lx set. but the newer method Is to use small root lets about as large around its nn ordin ary penholder. In planting these be very careful to set them the right end up. Bury these rootlets about two inches deep In good, mellow soil. In the autumn, when housekeepers are preparing pickles, there Is a good de mand for both roots and leaves. It Is but little work to prepare the root for market, as it can be run through a meat chopper. Much of the horse radish put on the market ha some white turnip ground with it, and. indeed, many pre fer this to the clear root, as the prepara tion Is not so strong.

One of the very Interesting bulletins or the Department of Agriculture, by in, Kj. v, Langworthy, treats the sub- yjL uou a 3 au arucie oi a jet ex haustively, and with good sense. We may, however, summarize the conclu sions reached In a few words. Fish from the sea and from fresh water, is equally wholesome and nourishine. Weight for weight, fish contains rather less of the constituents of real food than meat The difference Is partly made up by the circumstance that fish costs lesa than meat per pound. One fact which It may be well to have wide ly known Is that there is nothing what ever in the notion that fish-food is good ror the brain, because It contains phos phorus. There is not more phosphorus in fish chan in meat, and the brain does not require phosphorus. Probably the notion is too deeply rooted to be de stroyed wholly. The- amount of ail kinds of fish taken from the sea. lakes and rivers by Americans is eight hun dred and flfty thousand tons a year a huge amount and yet It ) less than twenty-five pounds for each person of the population. Fish is much more ex pensive than It used to be. Prices of otiher things have gone down, but the value of the "finny tribe." as the fine writers call them, has advanced that of the aristocratic salmon, and of the lowly cod, of the elegant trout and the ugly sturgeon, of the giant halibut and the tiny smelt all are higher in price. The result Is due largely to tbe modern system of quick transportation n ril aaIJ l TV - vum swinge, ror tmicago can have codfish, if it wants It, almost as fresh as It goes to Boston tables; New York eats California salmon; and Bos ton epicures feast on Florida and Geor gia pornpano all sold "green," that Is, not froeen, and almost as fresh as If newly taken from the water. ft weight of Know In winter must b e foreseen and can? exercised lest the sbrnb be greatly I n j u red 1 n the wrapping process by the breaking of many brittle branches. There fore a Country Gentleman corre spondent proposes the following plan; The cut shows the proper way to begin. Select a smooth, strong stake, longer than the height of the shrub, and drive it well down In the center of the bush. Now draw the branches all carefully together and tie them to the stake with a soft bit of cord, as shown. A layer of straw can now be wrapped about the shrub, bringing the bottom of the straw well out upon the ground, to pro- J tect tne roots as much as possible. The " ""c cnu low oe coverea with nun an ana tied or sewed tightly. The top Is then a point, on which snow cannot lodge, while the stake supports the bush when the winds blow. f weet I'otatoea from CnttinKa.

As cold weather ap proaches he, for better protection, throws more soli upm the base of the heap and more straw on the upper por tion, leaving the south end, or, better still, the top, partly ojx-n during warm flails for ventilation.
