household. . One <ff the practices frequently Indulged in, in childhood, and one against which parents should firmly set their faces, is that of trading among tbemaclves, commonly known by the elegant ' term of "swapping." While wc beliere ! in children having full possession their 'own things, (for only in that way can there be inbred in them a thorough sense of the personal Tights of others) , we do beliere also that that right should . rule when it comes to parting wllhlhcir The habit of "swapping? engenders, or fosters if it does cot engender, two sire for gain and a discontentment with . articles possessed— end children grow accustomed to looking around to see if j some one else has not some more desirable possession than their own. Those inclined to be unscrupulous, . learn early to "drive a sharp 'bargain" with those younger or more Innocent . than themselres, and woe to the mother . wiuae son becomes a "little lest than honest, in his childhood.

FARM. An old farmer -being asked why bis . boys stayed 'at home when others did not, replied that it ra owing to the . fact that be alwaya tried to make home i pleaasant for them. He furnished them ; with attrctive and useful reading, and , ' when night came and the day's labor ) ' waa ended, Instead of running with j other boys to the railway station and ad- , ' joining towns, they gathered around the | ' great lamp, and became absorbed in , ; their books and papers.- His boys were still at borne when the oldest was twen- , ty-one' while those who were furnished i ' with no reading at home, sought city i ' life and city dissipations as soon as they ; •were seventeen or eighteen- All will do | well to heed this testimony of a farmer . who has known how hard the struggle i for a footing on a free soil without cspl- , tal, is, awl how valuable and compare- , tivcly cheap arc the aids which good | | reading brings to him. In this age of j , general intelligence, the mind must be catered to. and tiooks papers fur- | niahed; and, not only this, but lu this i age of cheap and artistic chromos, pic- ] lures can also be bought to use in mak- ; Ing home attractive. The farmer's life , ' is the most independent of any and there , 1 tractive!)* surrounded. , ft is shrewdly suggested that one roa- i son why farms do not pay their owners i ' is that the farm does not owe them any- ; ' thing. There are no better investments i ' for farmers than those made in itself. ' Says the Farm and Harden: We wish I the readers would plant the grape in 1 every vacant space around the home ' place and farm buildings. Allow them I to grow on the sunny side of the house J or barn, to run over all neglected trees, ' r to hide the form of some too familiar . rock, to shade some walk or sunny sp t, j to grow and cover an ornamental trellis, j It will add beauty to your place, comr fort to your home, joy to your children, and be a source of continual delight to every passer, av well as satisfaction that t dollars cannot purchase." f Tho cheapest mode of keeping rats , out of a barn is to use half inch wire j netting, placing it from two to three f feet deep in the ground ail around the - feet deep in the ground ail around the

! edges of the barn or stable, digging a J narrow trench for the purpose, and then a t refilling in the dirt- ' ' Ail the farm implements should now , bo taken apart and well cleaned.

' It is also a good season to clean the land of bushes, stumps and rocks. Every I farmer should always have planned out . i some improvements that it is desirable , I to make, so when he fails short of work , l for his help, he can have something to 1 • keep all hands busy. Ia this way 1m- > prevcmenls can bo made to advantage, - that would uot pay if laborers had to be hired expressly for the wort. i No vegtabie hav been more improved < i than the common tomato. Forty or ' f more years ago they were seedy, waL , ery and of llltlo value. For a time the i I chief attempt to Improve' them was in I 1 securing extra early varieties. Now firm- J i nets of flesh and comparative freedom 1 1 from seeds are bred for. Some of the ' best varieties have so much substance . in their flesh that they make excellent preserves. For canning they are much ] ; better than tho thin, watery sorts. ] 8. W. Ferel, of Wisconsin, claims that ' i scab on potatoes is not caused by any | fungus, but by the ammonia of strong J manure of any kind, hen manure being < I worst, and next to that unrolled cow or J horse manure. We could hardly agree I , with this opinion of the use of bone manure. We have always had good suet cesa with the use of horse manure, and ' , prefer it tojmost other kinds. There ia , ill tie denial, however, but that the use i of freah cow manure Is poorly calculated | t to secure a satisfactory crop, for the rea- j . sou, among other things, that it tends to | cause delay of the tubers. Bo far as ben ] j manure is concerned, we have used It, 1 I but never had occasion to attribute any ] special degree of acabblness to its use. If there be one thing that will Induce It ' more than another it is planting the sec- ' ond time upon the same ground. Ashes I - are highly recommended for potatoes, but in all our practice wc have never „ discovered any evidence of their super- , iority over other kinds of fertilizers. As good success as we have ever had in 1 » growing potatoes was dropping the seed In the furrow, covering thickly with 1 partially rotten buckwheat straw and 1 then crAering with eartc; the potatoes ■ 1 were large, smooth and clean as though t they had been washed.— Qermantovn .

The story, though stranger than 1 Action, is verified by such a mass of evidence, that its truth cannot be doubted. Twenty-six years ago a little girl wandered from her home on the shore of Biy and was not teen until four days afterward, when her dead was.tast up by the waVes which ' over the adjacent reef. The child supposed to have fallen from a rock. ' One of her feet was gone, bui tills was ascribed to the voracity of a shark or, other fish -eating sea monster. Years passed by and tho event was almost forgotten. Recently one of the sons of the old lady and mother of the lost girl picked on the beach a piece of a large abeshell which bad been thrown up by the tide. He mis astonished to And inSide the shell a perfect representation of child's shoe, even to the little break in the toe where the leather had worn Every detail was reproduced iu in brilliant colors which are characteristic of the interior of abelone shells. The young man carried the shell homo as a i curiosity. The first person to whom he showed i was his mother. No sooner did the i old l»dy see it than she cxclamcd: 'It I is my baby's shoe, the shoe of my little i gtrl that was lost twenty-six years ago." i The rest of the family ridiculed the idea, but she produced the mate to the shoe. • A careful comparison showed that the , tlme-incrusted shoe in the shell and the , memento of the dead child carefully . kept by the loving mother through tho , Tears that she luul mourned her little , one were undoubtedly mates. The rayst tery of the child's death was revealed at last , Any one who knows the nature and s habits of the abelone cad .readily under0 stann what occured.
