If there is no w lis, It should be sown very ear­ ly, wSA mot bd pastured for a year. It doei w®lt in even a dense shade, gives early Md late pasture, enduros elose «ro#ping, and is not much injured bi train pi nj? where the land is wet ant Bolt--an important quality, as it is not convenient to take the stock off wood­ land pasture in wet weather. The seed Will catch on most woodlands without preparation of the surface, but old seed must be avoided. Orchard-grass is another good gras9 for woodlands, as it does well in the shade. Like blue-grass it is palatable, ttlftritious, and enjoys close cropping; and, unlike blue-grass, resists drouth well, hence will afford grazing when the blue-grass has died down in mid­ summer. It may be sown together leith the blue-grass. Red-top and red clover grow luxuriantly in a rich wood­ land soil. Very nearly as much pas­ turage can be had from woodland as from cleared land, and the advantage of shade, and the "mast" from the hickories and oaks, more than make up the difference. How large might be the returns gained from their wood­ lands, is a thought which has not yet entered even the dreams of many of our people, who would be very greatly and agreeably surprised by results, Were the seeding down to tame grasses to be undertaken.--American Agricul­ turist. The Boston Girl's Idea Of Heaven. Some people have the queerest ideas of heaven, but after Miss Phelps' pe­ culiar views of the unknowable noth­ ing extravagant astonishes the agnos­ tic or the full-fledged believer. The most realistic vision of the future state to which we are all tending was re­ vealed to me last Saturday night while en route to the symphony concert. Two rather pretty girls were snuggled into a corner of the car that I hap­ pened to take, and as the only vacant strap dangled-above their heads I had to hold on to it and overhear a conver­ sation not intended for a third person. However, I shan't give the girls any uneasiness by repeating what was not Intended for publication, but one re­ mark made by the prettier of the two struck me with particular force, it was so deliciously frivolous. "Well, to­ morrow's Sunday," observed No. 1 in a tone of regret. "Yes," assented No. 3, "shall you go to church?" "No-o," hesitating. "I think has such horrid ideas about heaven. Now, I like to think you hfcve everything you want in heaven. To my mind it ou^ht to be a place of unlimited long kid jfipves."--Boston Herald. An Expensive Crave. The orchid craze Is one of the •igpensive hobbies a woman can h: Once in England a rich but "ro born" woman got herself into roya society by cultivating orchids and mak­ ing a collection that was the talk of England and won the smart owner a visit from the Queen. Orchids are air- plants, and grow up in the air fastened on the trunks, of trees. They some­ times droop <1 wn eight or ten feet and bloom profusely, sometimes hav­ ing as many as 300 blossoms on a sin­ gle plant. They come from all lati­ tudes, will grow under all climatic conditions, and are as fascinatingly curious as monkeys. They resemble appearance reptiles, insects, ani- ld there is one that looks the of a white-robed nun. They enormously expensive. A plant cost hundreds of dollars. The colors known are displayed by ids. They stay in bloom a long and an orchid has been known to in its flowers in full bloom for five secutive months.

"iTes, considerable," replied Smith, guardedly. "For instance," said Thompson, "if I should say *1 wish Brown would die,' you would consider It very wicked and be very much sur­ prised and greatly shocked." "Most de­ cidedly!" responded Smith with empha­ sis.
