RURAL LIFE.
RURAL LIFE. BY A SON OF THE SOIL WHITES VEGETABLES. AD winter vegetables, such as Coleworts, Sprouts, Savoys, and summer Cauliflower and autumn Broccoli, should now be liberally treated, writes Mr. Donald MacDonaldinthe Daily Telegraph. Manure watering, surface scarify- ing with the hoe, earthing^ up, and the com- plete destruction of all weeds are the chief cul. tural attentions needed during the month. Leeks, Lettuces. and Endive will grow fast and icrisp under the same generous treatment. Shal- lots, Potato Onions, and Garlic will be getting ripe and fit to gather. It is a good plan to go over Onions and bend down all the stiff-necked ••es a fortnight or so before harvesting. The wSck of a garden rake is the simplest implement lor the purpose. This checks growth and hastens the ripening of the upper portions of the bulbs. All such bulbs should be taken up carefully -without being bruised, laid for a few days on the ground, or put under cover in a shady but airy place. There is no mode of keeping so safe and simple as placing the Onions one layer deep on a cool shelf or tray. If the Omon ground is heavily manured and deeply dug, it forms a capital place for the spring Cabbages, Cauliflower, or winter Spinach. Ridge Cucum- bers, Tomatoes, Vegetable Marrows, Gourds, &c., should have their shoots thinned or stopped just beyond the fruit, and the fruit gathered as it becomes fit for use. All such plants will like- wise need watering, although the season so far has not required much in this direction. Unless things mend quickly it is feared outdoor Toma- toes will be an absolute failure. With every inch of ground refilled the moment it becomes vacant, a free growth, and scrupulous cleanli- ness of beds and gravel, the kitchen garden can fail neither to provide plenty of green stuff nor to afford pleasure, as many of the vegetable crops revel in a dripping summer. THE RAT NUISANCE. During a stay in the country this summer, I noticed how very common rats are in the par- ticular district in which were my temporary quarters. They were not only numerous, but -1,1, and it was the last-named trait which in- ad me to try the trap of which an illustra- i is given. It proved to be very successful, al- 7h the maker's statement that only rata A PERFECT BAT TRAP. ean be caught in it did not turn out to be true, for one day, instead of a rat, a perky sparrow had taken the bait and was trapped. It has a perfectly free entrance to the first chamber, and when the rat is once in he immediately makes for the tunnel provided to escape. Once there, however, he finds himself in the inner chamber, the door closes, and he is doomed, and his life can be cut short by simply dropping the trap in a tub of water. No poultry farm is complete without a dozen of these traps. They can be put in the fowl-house, run, or yard, baited and left, for they do not require daily at- tention like other traps, but can be left for days LAYING COMPETITIONS. The past competitions held under the manage- ment of the Utility Poultry Club were so suc- cessful that others are being promoted, the twelve months' tests beginning on October 1st at Rayne, near Braintree. The competition will be run on somewhat different lines from the four months' test, since a pen will consist of six pul- K ts instead of four, and the prizes will be given for value of eggs produeed rather than num- bers. For the purpose of obtaining a fair value the average price each week of three leading egg markets v. i!i taken for the basis of calcula- tion. 'uary 1st to April 30th the pens "Jfy :1P> competitors will be allowci ,.0 th. Jggs laid by their birds upon d'e a -age market price, and a fixeo .ackiiig and despatching them to the I ii-stinations.

The entry fee is ±-0. a sum which may appear excessive but the expenses of the competition are very heavy, and the Club, even with this fee, estimates that it will lose over £$Q on the competition. A XOVEL POTLTSY Rex. Inquiries have again reached me about < really good poultry-run and shed. and although *? alreadJ £ i»en particulars of the last- tmed no harm can be done now that the sub- ct has cropped up again bv illustrating one of best runs which is now on the market. The « -etch explains itself, the runs being made of ) A NOVEL POULTRY BUN. I the best f-inch wood on stout framing, and they are covered with wire netting. The feeding bars are provided in the end and the sidee boarded up one'foot, good protection being pro- vided in the case of boisterous weather. A door -can be added to the side of the run, if desired, at quite a trifling cost. A POULTRY SCOURGE AND ITS REMEDY. To remedy gapes," remove the birds entirely to fresh ground, and do not give the chickens any other water to drink than that which is im- preg-nated with camphor. A substitute for cam- phor is as follows: Dissolve 2oz. of sulphate of iron in sixty drops of sulphuric acid; after it has stood twenty-four hours, mix it with two gallons of water, let it stand for two days, and then ad- minister it by patting a teaspoonful to a pint of water; or try the chickeris with the well-known preparations that are regularly advertised. Any ground which has been occupied by chickena that have suffered from gapes" should be chemically treated by the use of lime. It is also imjfortant on an outbreak being discovered to take prompt means to stamp it out and prevent it spreading by isolating the affected birds; and should a chicken die burn it, so as to make sure the worms and their ova are entirely destroyed. Undoubtedly hot weather has much to do with gapes," and care must be observed to keep chickens during such a time perfectly clean, to ve their water and food fresh, and to let them I ma in cool, airy places. ROHAN HYACINTHS FOB MARIMT. These bulbs are now obtainable in quantity, I and growers who wish to have them in early flower, whether for supplying the large markets J or for home or local trade, will do well to set tbout "the potting or boxing at once. There is Bio bulb grown that is more easily brought into |jood and perfect bloom than this, says a writer in the Fruit Grower, yet we are continually see- ing it brought into the markets in miserable .condition. Some will wait until they can buy the tolbs at a lower figure, and then try to rush the bulbs into flower before they have had time to make proper root, with the result that they iHnao money on their venture, even though they have bought at what they consider to be a low jprice. Potted or boxed at the present time and properly treated afterwards, the grower will lave no difficulty in getting splendid flowers by November if need be, and even seoond--ize bulbs will give good results when so treated. The boxes should be from 3in. to 4in. deep, and over the bottom may be put lin. of rough moss or broken peat-moes. The soil should be light and sandy, and the rough material should be covered with lin. of this; then the bulbs must be seated close, or nearly close, together over this, gently pressing them into the loose sou. Then cover with soil and pre«6 it firmly the bulbs, finishing with the tops of the bulbs just under the surface. If pots are used thirty- two's are the best. These should be crocked and "have -m.t, lJil rough material p"t ovor t'ns. Tneii fill three parts fuil or soil ard press the bulbs in as thickly as :Py wili go and cover with ■soil, leaving the surface jin. below ibe. rim ot the pot Boxes and pots should be stood on an ash bottom in the open, and have a good water- ing. When the water is drained away, the whole should be covered 6m. deep with moist eoai- ashes. If the weather ie dry the anheø should be kept moist,, or they wiU extract the moisture from the pots and boxcc. When well rooted the bulbs should be taken out and put on the floors of oold houses or into frames, from whenee they can be drawn as required. It will bo found that when so treated they will move with the very smallest sensation oi heat, and, if property = tmO blo-ola Ron" &Mtqd, Rrwwm x ,L' A COMMON AILMENT IN THE POULTBT-YABD. Cold in the head is generally the result of keeping fowls in badly-ventilated houses, and subjecting them to sudden changes of atmo- sphere. It is quite a common complaint during such unseasonable weather as there has been this summer. If one has a few fowls only, the best way is to treat each bird separately. Rinse the nostrils with a weak (pale pink) solution of potassium permanganate, or of Condy's Fluid, by means of a small glass syringe, and allow the fluid to escape by the mouth. After drying the nostrils with antiseptic cottonwool, push a small fresh plug of this material well up into eaok nostril, hold the bird's head back, and pour on the wool as much of the solution as it will ab- sorb. The plugs should be left undisturbed for about an hour, when they can be removed. An established cold is favourably influenced by this treatment, but it is most effective when the sneezing and increased secretion announce the onset of the attack. A FINE VEBBENA. The Verbena, of which I give an illustration, is one of the most charming of all the bedding plants. It should be sown in February or March in pans or trays of light rich mould and placed in a gentle heat. As soon as the young plants have made three or four leaves pot them off VERBENA GRANDIFLOKA. Singly into small pots and keep close until J established, when they should be placed near the glass and have plenty of air. Afterwards harden them off very gradually, and plant out in May where it is intended they should flower. Seedling Verbenas are almost invariably very vigorous in growth, and if raised from a strain of seed they will produce some charming flowers. The Auricula-flowered and the Cloth of Gold are handsome varieties, the first-named being especially showy, with conspicuous white eyes. The Cloth of Gold has yellow foliage and scarlet flowers.

,THE STAR GAME.
THE STAR GAME. "We came to the country to live out-of- doors, and it has rained two days!" said Grace. And then all the children broke out together: What can we do? Mamma put down her book and smiled. Why not make up a game? "You make it up and we'll play it," said Mary, sagely. Mamma looked thoughtfully at the five yellow heads clustered round her chair. I have it, chicks she cried. We'll play the star game." What is it? crie<J the five, "You shall see. Bess, bring me my scissors and that large sheet of gold paper in my top bureau drawer. Mary, ask Bridget for a candle and candlestick, Grace, make a tiny bit of flour paste." Away they all flew except Dotty and Daisy, who jumped up a-ad doWJjl" crying: Are you going to leave us out "cauee we're young? lou are to be the best part of the siar game," said mamma. Bess brought the scissors and goH* paper, and the little girls watched! mammae curi- ously while she cut ont a SUD with rays, two stars, and a crescent moon. Then Grace brought the paste,, and the fun began. On Bessie's white forehead mamma pasted the sun on Grace's the mooai;, on, Duty's and Daisy's a wonderful star. I can't imagine this game," said Grace. But mamma only laughed. Then came Mary with the caadle, and in a moment was told to light it. By. this, time five little girls were much excited. Now Bessie stands in the centre of the room, holding the lighted candle. Mary stands at a little distance from Bessie." And what ehall we do? begged Dotty and Daisy. You may stand in this corner,, dearsy 11n- til I tell you to come out; and Grace may stand in the opposite corner.. Now we're ready to begin. Bessie is the sun, Marv is the earth, Grace the moon, Detty and Daisy are stars. Bese must stand still: while Mary are stars. Bese must stand still: while Mary revolves round her in a circib; very slowly indeed. When Mary turns her baek to the inn- the candle-light—you will know it is night, and Grace and Dotty and Daisy the- moon and stars—muet come out and shine." All the little girls clapped their hands. The game went splendidly. After a while they added more to the game. Mary divided the jhalk circle into four parts, and in one Bess, scattered bits of paper for winter snow; in another Dotty and Daisy sprinkled red clovers out of mamma's vase, for summer day?; in the third Grace placed a rosy apple for autumn; and Bridget came with a piece of red may for spring. Mary stopped at the cfcse of each season, Bess put down the candle, and they made believe some more. When it was the sum- mer season they went ta the ocean for a dip and a frolic; when it was winter they went skating and snowballing over the hills; in the autumn they were off for a blackberry expedition. Bridget watched the game with arms crossed, her honest face amazed. Who would think," she said, that the old earth was capering round the sun like t.h:n.! IJ 1 ,0
FROM THE CROWS-NEST.
FROM THE CROWS-NEST. Buckmg" the ice in arctic regions requires skill and judgment, writes Anthony Fiala, in "Fighting the Polar Ice," and was always an exciting experience, particularly when viewed from the crow's-nest, where the captain, the mate, and the author parsed much time. The ship would be slowly backed in the narrow channel it had broken between the fields until there, were about a thousand yards of water space. Then. from his position at the masthead. the captain would send the signal for full speed ahead. Smoke poured in great clouds from the funnel and mingled with hissing live steam; the engme throbbed and pounded under the strains of its supreme effort. Hartt, the engineer, was forcing his pet, men lining the riggirfg to mark the ad- vance towards the coveted stretch of clear water, and the America would crash into the heavy, glossy mass, and under the impetus its great hulk would rise out of the sea and roll from side to side, a." the ice broke and splintered under its armoured forefoot. I Dogs barked and whined in terror; ponies stamped and stumbled as the impact of ship and floe threw tr.e:n almost off their feet. Up in the crow's-nest, when every motion was intensified, we hung on like cherries. Sometimes it seemed that, with its heavy top load, the America must "turn turtle"; but the ice always broke, and at last, on an even keel, we would gather steam to buck once more. In forcing a way north it is like going towards the small end of a funnel, and in a close season many an opening, that from the limited view circle of deck and rigging seemed to stretch to the very edge of the earth, resolved itself into a "blind"lead" ending in solid ice.

• A WOOING. From the sorrow, strife, and sin Of the city we are in, Come, my love, and let us flee To a cottage I have found, Where we will so happy be As the birds that sit around, To each other on the trees Singing merrie melodies. If we in the town abide Can we then from evil hide, 0 my love. so safe End well As we with each other may Where the soft-voiced wood-doves dwell? Good it is that we should stray To a nest from harm secure, Where the winds blow fresh and pure. All th" city, gay and fine.

DESERT DANGERS.
DESERT DANGERS. The sand-dunes of the desert seem very harm- less objects, but, writer Mr. George Wharton James in "The Wonders of the Colorado Desert," let one unused So the .desert beware how he risks his life ia fheir dread wilderness. Once well in the heart .f them, one becomes utterly confused, for tlie wind completely de- stroys all tracks in a few mmutR, and it is im- possible to retrace one's steps. The heat is stifling, for the sands reflect the glare and the heat, and one is almost blinded, and although there is wiytz it seldom reaches the secret recesses and little shut-in valleys of the dunes. It floats the sand over and upon yau, and this heated sand izritates nostrils and mauth, until one opens his mouth and pants like a dog, only to get more air so sand-laden that he cannot bear it. Many a poor wretch has been lost to the world' for ever in the treacherous secrecy of these sand-hills. Over- powared by the heat and thirst, unable to find his way out, he has fallen, to be covered almost immedtately by the drifting sajvii and thus suffo- cated while unconscious. Thu only safe plan I know of when thus caught is to take off one's coat and throw it over the head. Resolutely refuse to breathe through the meuth, and by constant clearing of the noetlrils compel inhalation by that channel. Sit down and, make no attempt to escape during the heat of the day. If the sandi begins to cover you, rise; and! as it falls under yc.1J, make it your new couch,, and keep doing this so long as is necessary. Then, when night fallfe, guide your- self back, to. safety by the stars. And one who cannot travel by the stars and does not know the general direction of places in the desert ought newer to travel alone on its. He! does it oonstantfw aJ; the peril of his life
DR. PUSEY'S VISION.
DR. PUSEY'S VISION. Amongst? other strange stories told by Mr. T. E. Kcbiieh in Lord Beaconsfield and Other Tory Memories (Cassell), this of a vision seen by Dr. Pey is interesting not only in itself, but as a direct piece of evidence bearing on a prob- lem that has absorbed an even wider circle than is touched! by the enthusiasm for. psychical re- search. He was Saking a friend's duty for a time while the friend went away for a rest, to some other village in Jibe neighbourhood. Dh Pusey stayed in the parsonage, and was one day working in the garden, when, on looking up, he saw his friend coming towards him. He-supposed that he had cowie over just to see how things were going on and to have a talk with himself; but before he could speak the visitor- made a com- munication too solemn to be repeated here, and walked away towards the house. Dr. Pusey, tdiinking only that his friend's mind had been affected 5y his illness, followed' him into the house for luncheon. When be got in he asked the servant, Where is your master? Mas- ter has now been here to-day, sir," said the man. Still Dr. Pusey thought noting of this; but when he went down into th^ village he was in- formed ftw one of the farmers that the absent vicar had1 died that morning- about a quarter to one, the- wry time when Dr.. Pusey had seen him in the gwtn.

GRANDPA'S DINNER.
GRANDPA'S DINNER. The person who, while in Rome, conforms to the Roman's way of doing things, is the person who stands the best chance of comfort. On the other hand. the travelling vegetarian, is likely to, meet, w^th inconveniences and misunderstand- Mrs. Alec Tweedic'e Ihroug'h Finland in Carte. had an experience which shews that the way of the meat-eater is the one most easily comprehended by the ave- rage landlord. When the party arrived at the irrn, grandpa in- formed the powers that be of his vegetarian habite. Dinner was announced, and the travellers took their places. A servant entered bearing a large dish, which ho solemnly set in front of grandpa. In it were two dozen, boiled eggs. How extraordinary exclaimed grandpa. I told the landlord I was a vegetarian, and that I should like suitable food. He surely can't think that I am going to eat that tremendous supply of eggs." The servant returned with a large white china basin filled with cucumbers sliced a quarter of an inch thick. Gravely he placed it in front of grandpa, who began to look uneasy. Presently a maid appeared, carrying a large glass dish, on a tall, spiral stand, containing red stewed fruit. This, also, was put before grandpa. Twenty-four eggs, three huge cucumbers, and three quarts of stewed fruit, an enormous jug of milk, and an entire loaf of bread surrounded grandpa's plate. The good host judging by the old gentleman's very vagaries that he must be a person of note, and ignorant of the gauge of a vegetarian's appetite, had given liberally of hia beet.

HELP FROM RHYL.
HELP FROM RHYL. Help to those in trouble is always welcome. To many here, who are in trouble, the exper- ience of this Rhyl woman will prove of the greatest assistance and encouragement. Mrs. Annie Grays, 28, Bedford-street, Rhvl, says Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are such a splendid kidney medicine that I shall always keep some of them in the house, not that I need to use them, for I am quite well. Before Doan's Pills cured me I suffered a long time with kidney trouble; there were severe pains in the small of my back, and they were worse than ever while I was at my work. There were also other signs of kidney disorder. I took three boxes of Doan's Bachache Kidney Pills, and they drove away the pains, and made me feel better in every way.- I (Signed) ANNIE GRAYS." Do you have to keep hard at work, day after day, though you feel more fit for bed? Does your back ache? Are you afraid to stoop? Are there pains in your muscles and stiffaess in your joints? Are yrur nerves on edge? Does every change of the weather affect you ? Are there urinary troubles ? Are some or all of these troubles yours ? Take them in time; they are serious warnings of still more serious kidney diseases. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are a specific for all forms of kidney and bladder troubles. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shillings and ninepence per box (six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence).

BITS FROM,,
BITS FROM A LOAN OF BEADS. The Papuans of New Guinea are a jovial, light-hearted people. and, sars the author 01 Two Years Among New Guinea Cannibals," when one has won their confidence they are hos. pitable and friendly. Their trust when once gained will stand rather severe tests, as he found to his great satisfaction and advantage after a stay of some mouths at Mount Kebea. I I was anxious to push further into the interior, but found myself absolutely without beads, which are the journey money of the explorer. It would have delayed me too long to wait for the return of my messengers, who had been sent to the coast for a further supply, so I hit upon the ex- pedient of trying how far my credit with the [ natives would go. I I called the tribe, men, women, and children, together, and in a long hprangue explained the situation to them, and finally asked them if they would lend me their beads, whicli every One of them wore on his or her person in considerable profusion. I promised them that on my return I would pay them double the quantity. This tribe. b« it noted, was not to accompany I me further, and the beads would have to be given to other bearers, whom I should engage as I proceeded. These ornaments are to the Papuans as precious as her pearls are to a grande dame, but nevertheless every man, woman, and child immediately consented to the loan. This appreciation of the idea of credit denotes a considerable receptivity of mind. and shews that the Papuan cannot be inaccessible to civili- sation.
