"Very forward;" wns tho criticism Bald to havo been made by tho Quean of England on tho occasion of tho pre sentation of one of our most beautiful American girls. Siiid a distinguished English gentleman, a few years ago: "Ilor Majesty seems to tond very strictly to tho matter in hand, but thero is not a trick of manner or a de tail of dross that escapes her notice. Jlor intuitions aro so keen, and tho val ue that she sets on modesty is bo .groat, her interest in tho young so sincere, that she has becomo a famous Toadcr of character. Tho Qucon do tosts a Hint, and sho can dototect ono of theso specimens almost at a glance. Neither volvot nor satin nor precioua stones can cast sufllciont clamor ovor a tendency of this kind to hldo it-from thoso truly motherly eyes. It is said that ono day when Her Maj esty was present in hor carriage at a military rovlow, tho Princess ltoyal, then about fourteen, seemed disposed to bo a llttlo familiar and, possibly, slightly coquottish, in thoughtless, girlish fashion, with tho young oflleors of the guard. Tho Queen tried to catch her daughter's eye, but tho gay uniforms wore too attractive, and tho llttlo Princess paid no attontion to tho silent ondenvors of hor mother. At last, in a spirit of fun, sho enpped tho climax of misdemeanors by dropping lior handkerchief ovor tho side of tho carriage, and tho Queen saw that it was not an accident. Immediately two or thrco gontloraan sprang from their horses to return it to hor, butthohnnd of roynlty waved them off. 'Thank you, but it is not necessary," Baid Her Majesty. "Loavo it just whoro it lies," and then turning to hor daughter, sho said: "Now I must ask you to got down and pick up your handkerchief." "But, mnmma " Tho littlo. Prlncoss' faco was scarlot, and hor Hp quivered with nhamo. "Yes, immediately," said tho Qucon. Tho royal footman hud oponcd tho door and stood waiting by tho side of tho carriago, and tho poor, mortillod littlo girl was obligod to stop down and rascuohor ownhandkorchiof. This was hard, but it was Balutary, and probably nipped in tho bud tho girl's first Impulso toward coquotry. Amor lean mothers would do well to follow bo meritorious and notublo an oxum "plo. Hor Majesty has spoken vory plain and sonslblo words to tho British no hillty in regard to tho oilucatlon and management of thoir girls, nnd on tho Bubjcots of flirtation and immodoat dressing sho Is eloquonL "I had no idea your mothor observed my harm less coquotry," said a young lady whoso mother hud boon spoken to by tho Quoon. "1 havo no doubt it was harmless," replied tho Prlncoss Allco, who was tho embodiment of kindness and sympathy, und yot who novor hesitated to spoak tho truth, "but it was certainly thoughtless and unbecoming. It wouldn't bo sufo for ono of us to bo coquottish," bIio added, with a smilo. "But I was not nwaro that Hor Majesty ovor looked at mo alter tho first formality was ovor," tho young English girl rospondoil, dubiously.

All plants that are set out in the fall for a permanent patch, such as raspber ries, blackberries, etc , should bo out back to within six inches of the roots. Canes that a. o left on will be of no ad vantage next season. What are called pour apples aro really sweet, though their tartness hides the saccharine properties they contain. Some of the richest sour apples, as the Itusset, make very strong vinegar, which thoy could not" do if they did not contain a good deal of sweetness. Ti tiinl!m nS1nr fftc vinotrni1 if ia n tillU take to use the partially rotten or infe rior apples for that purpose. Good vine gar can only be made Irom ripe and sound apples, and where it is difficult to ship apples to market it will pay lo con vert them into vinegar. The rich black liquid that flows off from the barn-yard contains the wealth of the farm. Use absorbent material, and save it. The loss of liquid manure is groat, and if saved would not only add fertilizing matter to the farm but In creases tho value of the solids. Asparagus beds may bo mado now. Placo the roots two fcjt apart, first mak ing the bed very rich with manure. I is usual to have the roots closer, but as the roots will thicken in tho bed in tho course of time, it is better to allow plenty of room in tho beginning. Rose slugs will do damage if the bubhea nre not. guarded. A solution of an ounce of pyretlirum powder in a gal lon of water, sprayed on the bushes, is excellent, but a stream of water from a force pump, applied daily, is ono of the best remedies tliat can be used. Keep something growing on the land and you will then keep down the weeds. It does not pay to take off a crop and then allow tho laud to grow up in weeds. It ia better to plow the laud frequently if no crop is on it. The aim should be to not allow a single weed to grow. Tho quality of milk cannot be fixed by law. The milk from some cowa will contain a lower percentage of solid mat ter than others. It is oven impossible to obtain the same quantity of milk from ono cow. Her food, duration of milking period, facilities for obtaining water and the manner of being milked influences tho quality. The milk of cows from young grass will vary greatly from that produced from ground grain. As soon as the coupling season is over he breeding ewes should be separated from' tho flock and fed on nourishing food. They should not bo made too fat, for fear of milk fever at lambing time, but they require good feeding if they are to produce strong lambs. Plenty of hay mith a mesa of ground oats once a day should keep them in good condition without liability of the ewea becoming too fat. Do not make the earth in boxes and flower jots too rich. All plants pro tected during the winter by Betting them on a stand in a warm room, such as geraniums, should not muse heavy growth, but be kept in good condition for slipping, as the spring and summer is the proper season for having them to per fection. The nie.dy bug must bo guarded against when the plants are kept in warm atmosphere. Frozen milk cannot only be trans lated with ease, but as long as it can be kept frozen will come out perfectly fresh. Experiments iu this line showed that in cooking qualities and in yield of cream aa well as in other respects, frozen milk corresponded with quite new milk, and butter and cheese could be prepared from it quite aa well as from now milk. Theso results are detailed in a paper by M. Guerin, of Grandvihes, Vosges, be fore the Agricultural Society of Franco. It is proposed to try the idea on a large scale by freezing milk in ordinary iron mnchiues. Now that horses will be stabled at night or should be, the most perfect cleanliness should be observed. The floor, if of wood, should bo frequently drenched with water, and then sprinkled with finely ground, gypsum (plaster), by which tho etrong, pungent odor common to stables will bo neutralized and ab sorbed. This strong odor of ammonia, which often pains the eyes and nostrils of a man, is exceedingly injurious to horses. It rota leather and corrodes varnish, and what must bo its effect on the eyes and lungs of the horses confined in it during whole nights ? Foul air pro motes glanders, farcy, blindness, influ enza (epizootic), pneumonia, heaves, all coiuiirn diseases of horses; and tho acrid manure in which horses are com pelled to stand causes not only the in jurious vapor but rots the hoofs and irri tates the skin. The blunders and carelessness of liorse-shoers often subject "tho noblest of all auitnals" to needless discomfort if not cruelty. A recent writer remarks that tho proper form of tho ahoo can bo adapted for relieving concussion in horBea subjected to hard and fast work. It allows the frog and probably a portion of the solo and bars to come in contact with tho ground, so that the weight of tho animal is distributed over a greater surface of the foot, and not confided en tirely to the wall, as in the case of the seated shoe. The elasticity of tho horn may to somo extent relievo the foot and leg from concussion, but tho frog, if al lowed to come to tho ground, acts much better Tho same authority suggeMa or advises, on another point, in thi wise: To prevent horses utriking th shoe of tho forefoot with tho shoo of ih- hind foot, shorten the toe of tho 'nrnt shoes and lengthen those o. the himlfoot, and iu a littlo whilo it will catuo the horso to pick up his forefeet quicker and the hiudfeet slower. The horso is blanketed to prevent colds, while tho cow ia turned out to face tho storms. The cow cannot onduro cold auv letter than other animals, and though it may not be necessary to blan ket her, yet s'ho should have a shed, or Bomo other protection in the barn-yard. A temperature of from M to 0 ' is nec essary in churning, and lis the weather becomes cold the churn and cream must be warmed. Tl.e ""i.porature can be easily regulated by tuo aid of warm and cold wator to raise or reduce as Is re quired. Tho churn itself may be vifiry cold, aud some dairymen pour warm water Into it, and then renew it before putting the cream in. MISTAKES IN GRAMMAR. I niutiiler. Tlint Are FreqnentlT Srndff Through Flieer ClnrplMsncs. Faults nro pardonablo In conversa llon which nro not pardonable In wrlt :en compositions. But wo must bo unroful not to tnko too much leoward In this regard, and not to make mis takes in grammar and pronunciation. Somo people aro guilty of grammatical blunders, through sheer carelessness. Thus, a lady of my acquaintance, who understands trigonometry, and can translate Virgil, often says to mo "you was." and yot sho knows per fectly well that this is an inexcusable aiistako. Other people, who ought to know better, say "hodon't" for "ho doesn't," 'I don't know ns I do," Instead or "l don't know that I do." "Aint" nnd "taint" aro not often used now by ed-.:aU-d people, unless in a jesting way. It is an unwiso thing, however, to bo careless or inaccurate in one's pronunciation or uso of language, t;!nco tricks of speech nro easily cnught, nnd very hard to get rid of. Thus, when ono is talking to servants, or other uneducated people, ono Is often templed to adopt their phrase ology, in order to bo readily under stood by them, but It is better to with stand tho temptation, even if ono should bo obliged in consequence to tako more troublo to express one's meaning clearly. What shall bo Enid of tho woman who says "I done it?" Sho has cer tainly placed herself botweon tho horn cf n dilemma. Hor hearers will infer either that hor early education was neglected, or thnt sho associated with uneducated peoplo during her child hood. And yot this is a grammatical fault, which seems hard to got rid of. Persons who never say "I seen It," oi "ho has went," or "thorn, things," will occasionally betray themselves by lot ting slip tho fatal "I dono it." It is quite as incorrect to uso "ho" and "1" for "him" and "mo." or vice versa, as it is to say "I dono it," and vet the first-named class of faults that of using tho wrong pronouns is some times committed by educated people. Indeed, I havo heard tho phraso "it is mo" justified, on tho ground thnt It was a literal translation of tho Fronch "c' est jjioj." But our English gram mar does not. like its French name sake, justify tho employment of certain pronouncial forms, merely for tho valuo of euphony. "Hois older than I" may not sound so well as "ho Is older than mo," yot tho former Is tho correct form. It la a vory common mistake to say "Between vou and 1," nnd yet a mo ment's reflection should convinco any ono who has ovor studied grammar that ho should say "Between you and me." Florence Howo Hall, in Ladies' Homo Journal. HOW TO SAVE TIME. It Cim ltd Ilnuo ly Milking Kvi'i-y Word anil Kvory Act 'lull. Time is money, says tho old ndago. Millions of people do not seem to think so, or else aro exceedingly profligate in tho uso of monoy. Tho wasto of the precious moments is boyond computa tion, and wo do not mean to touch up on tho generally recognized mothods of wasting time which tho idlor and drunkard, for instance, mako uso of. Wo desire particularly to call atten tion to tho wasto of time, of which so many of us aro guilty, in ordinary bus iness affairs. Wo lack strict method in many things that we do every day. Tho man who builds an inconvenient houso or barn makes tho wasto of time a necessity. Every unnecessary stop wo lake is a waste of time. Perhaps tho averago man wastes a quarter of his life by practicing jioor mothods or no mothods at all. Frequently old cus toms aro greatly to blamo for tho profligacy. Wo too often insist in kcoplng in old ruts although It re quires much longer to arrive at a certain point by tho old rut than if wo go out and cut across lots. It is said that leaving out tho letter u in words iiko honour is equivalent in saving to tho world tho productlvo capacity of llvo hundred mon every year. That is it took all tho timo of fivo hundred men every year to mako that letter In such words as tho ono named. Tho old system of teaching In our schools was another Illustration of tho wasto of timo through imperfect mothods and old customs. It required weeks and months for a child to learn the alphabet. It required other weoks and months for it to learn tho multi plication table. Now many a child is taught to road, who could not ro pe. ,t tho alphabet to savo Its life, and is quito prolieiont In arithmetic with mt being ablo to repoat tho multipli cation table. A child Is taugnt to road iu a short time. Hla textbook Is not a book at all. Perhaps a crass hopper is put Into tho hand of tho llt t;o six-year-old and ho handles and ftudtes that grasshopper for days and Aooks, and from It ho learns to road, icarns tho uso of figures and a good deal of natural history. Without go ing Into tho dotalls of tho systotn, tho child learns more from that system of teaching lu a few days than ho would learn in weeks from tho old systotn. It Is a great saving of time. Timo is an important elomont in all hat wo undortako. It Is an important elomont in reform work, and to savo timo Id such work, wo need to bo practi cal In all that wo advocate. Impractical thoorlos will not bo accepted by tho masses. To advocate thorn is timo thrown away. Wo should aim to mako overy word and every act tell West ern Kural.
