Thay Have No Such Coin There, Yet Still They Uae It. Btraugers In foreign countries al ways find some difficulty In getting uhlh to tbe curreut coinage. In Eng land they find themselves up ngnlnst quite a number of problems, not tbe leant of which Is the guinea, and tbe difficulty ' la not leMseued by tbe fact that the guinea Is practically obsolete as a cola of tbe realm. Tbe English pbystciun's fee Is always calculuted as so many guineas, aud the same thing holds good it a sale of pictures or whatnot at Christie's salesrooms. Tbe guinea Is a gold cola current for 21 shillings sterling, or about $5, but It bus not been coined since the Issue of the sovereign In 1S17. The guinea habit has been defended by some subtle dealers on the ground that it olifuscute the "foreign visitors to liritish salesrooms." On tbe other band, those astute cambists have been known to growl at it few thous and sterling added to tbe price of a valuable picture by tbe adhesion to tbe guinea style of bidding. Tbe story runs that tbe guluea whs ho called from the pieces struck from the bullion captured by Sir Harry Holmes In lfiOd from 160 Dutch sail iu Schelling buy, the bullion being from Guinea. But Shakespeare has an earlier play on tbe word when be mentions "guinea hen" lu "Othello" as regards the auction usage of the guinea. There can be little doubt that It Is a survival of the times when tbe extra shilling was treated as a five per cent commission, payable by the buyer. Double commissions are, however, now obsolete. Chicago Record-Herald. SOURCE OF SHELLAC. There are yellow roses, panslea, chrysanthemums and dahlias, but did you ever see a yellow aster? Tbe near est approach to tbe yellow variety la one that Is far more white than yel low and has to be labeled "yellow" In order that It may be distinguished from tbe white. The luxuriance of tbe blossoms which tbe chrysanthemums bear early next winter will depend to quite an extent upon the vigor and growth tbe plants attain between now and that time. Chrysanthemums are heavy feeder and should be given generous fertilising and frequent waterings. Cows seem to be Just as hapless as men when near deep water with a Jag on. This Is made plain by tbe fact that tbe other day, when eight Hereford cows belonging to a farmer living near Sterling, 111., got boozed up after Im bibing too much silage Juice and went to the creek to slake their thirst, six of them fell In and were drowned. Tbe moral of this tale seems to be, "fence In the silage Juice or the creek." An excellent drag or float for break ing clods and for smoothing down ridgy highways may be made by bolt ing sectlous of three or four V shaped hardwood posts to two strong two-by-eights or tens at right angles, tbe bark or wide edge of the post facing back ward. Enough space should be left be neath the sections, which are fastened on the under side of the plank, so that It will not collect dirt so readily. August Is tbe best month In all tbe year for girdling and killing trees like the willow. This seems to be due to the fact that tbe energy of the root system seems to be largely spent in the growth of limb and leaf up to that time, and If tbe bark Is removed for a space of a foot or more entirely around the trunk it sort of leaves tbe root system strapped and bankrupt. If the girdling Is done In June or early July there will be an effort on tbe part of the tree to send out shoots be low the point of girdling from dormant buds. A Virginia dairyman found one of bis mild eyed bossies acting strangely tbe other day. On reporting tbe cir cumstances and symptoms somewhat carefully to the department of agricul ture at Washington, It was decided that her aliment was a Jag Induced by drinking the Juice from fermented cornstalks which she got at tbe base of a silo. Since this case was reported there have been a number like It else where. If the dairy cows go on a toot like this It Is possible that tbe hired men and proprietors may catch tbe habit East That India Insects and Traaa Produce tha Substance. India is tbe home of the Coccus lac ca, the Insects that produce the resin ous substance known as shellac. Tbe females puncture the twigs of several different kinds of trees, among tbem tbe bo, the hlhar and the butea, and the twigs become lncrusted with a hard, nearly transparent, reddish, res lnous substance that serves tbe double purpose of protecting the eegs end finally furnishing food for the young Insects. The lncrusted twigs are broken from tbe trees before the young insects es- cspo and are thoroughly dried In tbe sun. These dried twigs are called "sttck-lnc," and from them shellac and a dye analogous to cochineal are pre pared. "Seed lac" Is the resinous con cretion separated from the twigs, coarsely pounded and triturated with water In a mortar, by which nearly all of the coloring matter Im removed. To prepare shellac the seed lac Is put Into oblong cotton cloth bugs aud wanned over a charcoal fire. When the resin begins to melt the bags are twisted, and the pure clear resin is allowed to flow over fig wood planks or the smooth stems of the banyan tree and cools lu the thin plates or shells which constitute shellac. I'ure shellac Is very valuable. It Is much harder than colophony and Is easily soluble in alcohol. Thay Have an 'Arbor. A member of the London county cou'icll was regretting the lack of art sense displayed by his fellows wlicn they placed an open space at the dis posal of the people. He pleaded elo quently for fountains, goldfish In orna mental basins, lions and unicorns In stucco nnd emerald green garden seats. "Why," said he. In a splendid pero ration, "we want something homely and countryllke a little arlnir here and there. If a foreigner ewme to this country and osked to see one we've never an arbor worth showing to sbow him." Then up nnd spake another member. who. prior to nttainlng the height of bts civic ambitions, had been n petty officer In the navy. "Oh, we 'aven't, 'aven't we? And wot about Portsmouth nrbor?"

Crab grass or "five finger" la a weed that is likely to cause considerable trouble In the lawn if there Is a short age In rainfall during tbe late sum mer. It Is deep rooted, roots where the Joints touch the ground and laughs at both drought and sunshine, now ever. It Is an annual and nothing but th seeds survive the winter. To check Its growth In the lawn, water liberally and clip rather closely, using the grass catcher, so that as many of the seeds as possible may be removed from the lawn. It Is tender, and the first good frost kills It Steers are still going skyward that Is, tbe prices are. Within the past month best grades have been quoted as high as $10.50 on the Chicago market This surpasses any prices that have ever before been paid. Including the was prices ef 18(11-435. If the present high prices are due entirely to a short supply and not to artificial manipula tion there would seem to be good ground for thinking that the prices would mount still higher. Tbe situa tion works a hardship upon tbe con sumer of beef, but It's great pickings for the farmer who sends them to mar ket A llttlo seedling walnut on a neigh bor's lawn the writer passes frequently has tlirown out two shoots from the same point that Is, It has a forked head. It Is a good Idea when such seedlings take this habit to cut off one shoot The other will soon take an upright position, and the tree as It grows will not only have a more sym metrical, but a much stronger head. What has Just been said Is equally true of practically all fruit trees and of elm and some other shade trees. Tbe best time to correct such a fault Is In the first two or three years, pref erably the first. Several Wealthy apple trees on the old home place of the writer's bovhood days are this season nearly done to death with the cedar rust, which ap peared in irregular yellowish, red rim med blotches on the leaves. And a strange thing about It Is that tha Wealthy shows much more damage than any other varieties. Including tho reach. Duchess. Patten Orecnlng and several other varieties. A tHirtiesa whose leaves touch a red cedar hedso shows practically no Infection. This susceptibility of the Wenltliy to tho rust Is regrettable and means that trees of this variety should not tie planted near cedar hedges, or that the hedge should not be set near the Wealthy trees. Damage may lie check ed somewhat by spraying with lime sulphur, but the results are not satis-factory. PLAIN CANYAS GLOYES 50c Per Doz. Co.
