I hava road this article over several times, and although I thought at flrt I would forget It by the next day I find I Just can't, and must relieve ray feelings on tho subject in some way. With the truly thoughtful author of the aforesaid article I agree in condemn ing the reference to cooking: "Upon thorough knowledge of cookery do- ends tha happiness of the homo." "Of tho earth, earthy" Indeed is the man who would find home happiness in the gratification ot his appetlta alone. Perhaps Mrs. Harvey la right in say- ng that " tha girls ot to-day, generally peaking, are not proficient cooks," Mr experience, extending over a number of ears lu tha various states between In diana and our own sunny shores, haa given ma different impresslous. I have n variably found that tha best bred, best edUcatod, most advanced and highly cul tured among my lady friends wero also the beat housekeepers. I h not assert that they Sxiiit their time over the cook stove and wash bench: most of them wet so situated that they could and did hire needy but capable women hi their kitchen. It Lady Mary Wortley Montague's hus band would not have gladly prepared the dinner for her If circumstance de manded It, ha waa not worthy of her. I know one man in a much humbler po sition in life who would have doue, nay, ha done It. It tha lady Mary or any one else would have her husband take her place lu the house, she must be equally ready and efficient to take hla duties in the counting-house, office, store or mine upon herself. She must be ready to as sume the cares, worries and obligations ot the conscientious business man who feels the responsibility of the head of the house the provider, the fattier, the huslmud. By all means let us have rec iprocity. No work which tends to the comfort of the home Is unwomanly: neither can I call it unmanly. It s all very well for a man to be un willing to have his wife stand over the hot stove cooking cakes while he cats; but why Bhould not the gentleman who "would stiiid by the stove, too, until there were cakes enough for both use his strength and time on the woodpile until hla wife called htm to breakfast ? The world is not yet ripe for Bellamy's theorioa, and until it is our farmers will personally do or superintend their own work, and their wives will perforce do the sama thing. I think we who have daughters to raise need have no fear tn training them o be good cooks or housekeepers. I do not imlieve tn allowing them to dabble in It, to be mere amateurs. Up to a girl's fifteenth year she is Incapable ot persistent, deep study, luose years, which Bhould in any case be spent un der the careful training ot a judicious mother, can easily be mado to suruce for all she abvlutly needs to know of housework. Maude a. reasteo in uurai Press. Mechanical Helps Needed la tha Kitchen. .Where would be the enterprise and ... u, for the farmers wive ana daughters 7 Where the productive farms, the bounti ful harvest, the tasteful homes, but for the toller whose worlds are limited to the sacred confines of the farmers' homes? Labor-saving machines Boinehow find their way Into the field and barn, but hovr few are ever seen tn the kitchen ! Conveniences to save the farmer time and trouble are, from time to time, thought of and Introduced, but the ivomou ot tho family must do the beat they can, plodding on the same old way, and are expected never to get tired, run down or wear out from the continual strain on nerve and muscle. Not that farmers are more neglectful of their families than other men, but that house work on. the farm la of all work the hardest on women. And from some cause attention has never been directed to methods of saving them from Its hard ships. This injustice, for what else can we call it I produces not only a broken- down, prematurely oil class of women, but it causes a discontent which has doubtless marred the peace of many a home. The ceaseless work may bocome task from which death may sometimes aoetn a happy release. I lie sacred walls ot home may appear as a prison house to tho chafed, fretful spirit which vainly longs for some relaxation and rest. The farmer's noble occupation is brought into disrepute with those sufferers, who never think of any possibility ot relief except to sell tho farm, rent or leave it to weeds and briars, and go Into bo me other busi ness. Hence we often boo deserted, neg lected farms, while the towns and cities aro overflowing with their surplus uueui ployed. Miss S. E. Powell before the Missouri state board of agriculture. Home Attractions. You may have all tho colors of the rainbow in a room, costly furniture, brio' a-brao of all kinds and patterns, but if you lack good ta.to to arrange, or, as w sometimes say, fix up, the room will bo nolther attractive nor pleasant. I was once in a room scant of f urnlturo, noth ing In It rich or costly, no pictures, only ono small-sized motto, " Boar ye one an other's burdens," hung low over a stand having a bunch ot roses on it, but the words of the motto and the odor of the roses are stamped on my memory and always come to me whenever I am try ing to arrange a room. That "cleanliness is noxt to godliness most of us have heard from childhood Dirt and filth breed disease as well as discontent, and every room In the house should bo neat. When we get everytnlng arranged aright and all cleared up we need order to keep so, and an every-day setting things to rights, doing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done; that is what makes the home pleasant and keeps the temper smooth. Kind acts are a force which nothing can resist. Greatest of all characteris tics is charity, that Christian love which bears the burdens, rights wrongs and takes all hate and sourness out of the home life. I might mention a attrac tions in a home a well-furnlshed table, books, muslo, games, but you would say without the characteristics I have named already these would amount to but little ; but refined natures needhem and wan dering ones are attracted by them, and those who are beaten in the battle of iifo need all pleasant and pure things in tho home. The remembrance of all such Is sweet to you and to me, and we are attracted by the flowers and fruit and kind attention and the real interest in in our welfare which can come from no place but home. Miss Ellen M. Gleason" 3farm Buln. Do Ilees Injur Fruit f Tho following notes by a correspondent of the Traver Advocate are worthy of reproduction : " I find that many fruit growers are still of tha opinion that they suffer great loss from the ravage of boos. The charge made against tho Immj la a unjust and unreasonable as it would be to charge the housefly with doing the same work. Neither of these Insects Is capable of breaking the akin ot a grape, because they hava no Loots with which to do it; but both will feast on the eweet Julc when once an open ing is made. If grapes burst on the vine or are cut by yellow jackots they are worthless, and It Is on'y such that tho bees food upon. Prof. McLiin la em ployed by the government to make ex periments in apiculture in all of IU ramifications. In on of his reports he says: I have repotted my experiments ot last spring for testlui; the capacity of boos for Injuring frul Hi, confined two colonic of Italian bees, tto of hybrids and two of Syrians In a house, and endeavored by heat, etc, to bring about all the conditions of a severs drought. "He says: 'The bees were repeatedly brought to tho stage of hunger, thirst and starvation, the test continuing for forty days. I obtain ed 13 varieties of choice grapes, and every inducement and opportunity was offered the bee to appease their hunger an I thirst by at tacking the fruit that was placed .liefore them. Mark this: Seme ot the grapes were dipped tn ayrup and hung in the hive between the combs, some placet! on plnlos berore the hives, and grapes were suspended In cluster from the posts and rafter. The bee lapped and sucked all the syrup from the skins, leaving the berries .smooth. They dally visited the grape In great numbers, and took advantage ot every crack tn the epidermis or opening at the stem, appro priating to their use every drop of juice therefrom, but tbsy mado no attempt to grasp the cuticle with their mandibles or claws. I removed the epidermis care fully from dozens of graoe of various kinds and placed them on plate before Ute hive. The bees lapped up all the juloe on the outside of the film sur rounding the segments of the grape. leaving tills delicate film dry aud shining, but through and beyond this film they were unable to penetrate. " ' I punctured the skins ot grapes of all kinds by passing needle of various sizes through the grape, and placed thesa before the bees. The needle used were In size from a flue cambrlo needle to sacking needle; the amount of Juice ap propriated was in proportion to the size ot tho opening in the skin aud the number of segment of the grape broken. The same was true in the case of grapes burst from over-ripeness. Bees are not only unable to penetrate the epidermis ot grapes, but they also appear to be un able, when Impelled by the dlreet neces sity, to penetrate the film surrounding the berry, even after the epidermis is re moved. Grae9 so prepared, without exception, lay before tho hives until dried up.' More evidence is at hand,. but the foregoing is sufficient. In the polllna- Uo1 OJ tue nower9 tne bee is an lm- portant factor, and it is here that the bee doe a work for us which is a great benefit to all fruit growers and adds greatly to our Income. If we do not wish to raise bees, lot us encourage others to do so, and it they do annoy us at times, let us remember they pay us well for all we suffer." Pertinent Paragraphs. Canadian beet sugar factories are pay ing $3 a ton for beets which yield 11 per cent ot saccharine matter. Beets raised by the company at Farnham are found to cost $4 ton. Farmers are not gclng to raise beets and sell them at cost. It Canadian factories can pay $5 a ton for beets with 11 per cent, what ought Cal ifornia factories to pay for richer beets, with a bounty of a cents a pound and a market one-third higher for their sugar? This question ought to be considered by our farmers when factory owners want to contract for beets showing 14 per cent at $4 a ton. Tho Farnham factory ships a carload a day ot u are flood sugar. The new fruit buyers' association of Chicago proposes to make arrangments that bone but members of the assocla tlon shall be admitted to the fruit auction rooms. One more rule Is needed: That no member of the association shall bid against another. Then the association would work like a charm. The California consignors would not get rich on account of It, however. They are not hankering for an auction markot for their fruit where there is no competition, and they will do well to keep their fruit out of market from which all buycrt except member of one association are excluded Grapes From Seed. But little effort has been made In Cal ifornia to produce new varieties of grapes from seed. It is not only possible, but It Is highly probable, that much improved varieties could be had if the effort were only made. Both the American and foreign grapes reach perfection side by side, which makes it possible by hybrids to combine tho boat qualltlos ot both Grape seeds for sowing are entirely freod from tho pulp and then mixed thoroughly with pure sand, to be kept moist but not wet throughout the the winter. They should bo placed whore the temperature Is evenly cool, above tho freezing point, but a little freezing will do no harm The seeds should bo sown rather thickly in the spring in a cold frame, and trans planted to the field when thoroughly rooted, after danger of frost Is over; or, If specially strong plants are desired, they can bo picked out three Inches apart in the frame, and allowed to reach a larger size before transplanting.

Koch's Consumption Cure. Dr. Koch's consumption cure by Inoc ulation with a specially prepared lymph which kills the consumption bacillus is proving a perfect succoss in all except extreme cases. Koch has reconsidered his announced determination to make public the com position and method ot preparation of the lymph with which he operates, on the ground that Ignorant and incom petent people would bungle the work and sacrifice lives. Ho has communicated his secret, however, to several German scientists. All that the public knows is that inoc ulation with the lymph, which la under stood to contain metallic substances, results lu a swelling of the parts affected wtth tuberculosis, followed by a slough ing away. The lymph, it is asserted. does not kill the bacillus but carries it away with the diseased Ussus. In cases very far gone with consumption a cure is not promised, and In serious cases con tinual relnoculations may bo necessary, though many cures are reported in Ger man hospitals. It Is believed that in a few years consumption may be rendered as rare as it How is frequent. Railroad Wreck.

The reason that colors in an Orients! brooch or bracelet are so perfect is the same reason mat an old Oriental car pet it better than any other. An Asiatic dislike to be dazzled; to La ' blinded with glare; to have his eves hurt and his brain beated by unsub dued effects of light. Consequently, though he dyes his wools in intense colors, having few others, he so com bines them, 6o mixes them with black and with that dark, cream of which Europe linn never caught the secret, that the total result is restful, and tha very idea of glareor of full daylight on the patterns is entirely absent. It is precisely the same with Oriental jewel. Their natural glare it kept down by combination and want cf polish. The Asiatic who carved la jade and sank deep inscription into sapphire could have faceted precious stones a well as the cutters of Amster dam, who nntil lately used no machin ery, but he did not desire to do it. lie wanted subdued effects, and made of the garnet a carbuncle which Is a miracle of color without glare or he cut off, as we have seen in many emer alds, a mere corner, so the be bolder, instead of being bothered with Basil ing green, should peep at will into green depths. vve Co not say he was altogether right as regards the diamonds he was altogether wrong but we may rely on it mat no anew nts business, and wfcn he failed that he intended to fait.
