How the Characteristics of Nationality Crop Ont In Tillage. For half a hundred miles about New York the country is a region of small farms. Nearly all are carefully tilled, but the manner in which each is ton ducted comes close to indicating the nationality of the owner. The native American likes a lawn in front of his house and leaves uncultivated strips near the fence of his fields. Also his preference in the way of crops is for grain. The Englishman and the German devote much space to berries and veg etables, and both delight in displays of flowers before their houses. The Frenchman is sure to be a grape grower. He, too, revels in flowers, but he fosters those that, cut or as potted plants, will find a city market. The Irishman is a raiser of potatoes, cabbages and corn. His home dis plays little outside adornment, but almost always there is about it an air of solid comfort, and one may be sure to see a pig-pen not far from th@ cottage. Abroad “land is land,” and those who have been tenants of holdings that cost them an annual rental of $20 per acre retain their habit of close culti vation when farming in the United States. Here, again, the difference between the American and the foreigner crops out. The former is prodigal of soil and lets the difficult spots alone; the latter utilizes every inch of dirt clear to the roadway and uses fertilizers with skill and advantage to himself. WANTED TO CONTINUE. A Grave-Digger Not Anxloni to Go Oat at Bniilness by Dying. A man whose occupation is that of grave-digger and a woman whose trade is cleaning soiled linen sat side by side in an electric car. They were on very intimate terms. His name was John,and hers was Bridget. Said Bridget: “How be you now-a-da’ss, John? It’s a long time since I seen you last.” “Not over and above, Bridget. Me and the old woman ’ave got the grip had.” “Why for land’s sake don’t you go to bed and sweat it out? You never’ll be any better as long as you be out in this grippy air.” “Bridget,” dolefully, “my business won’t let me loaf. Ah! you’ve no idea what a trying trade mine is.” , “Sure, sure, to be sure it is; but John—” “What, Bridget?” “Suppose you should die. Then you couldn’t dig any more graves, and then what ’ud the corporation do?” “I never thought of it that way. If I should die the committee would be put to no end of bother finding another man. The tricks of the trade be something awful. Why, there ain’t one man in ten who can dig a grave proper. Bridget, I guess I’ll take your advice. We haven’t got any jobs on hand just now and ain’t likely to have for several days. In the .meantime I guess I’ll go to bed and sweat out the grip. Then when somebody dies I will feel in better humor to dig his last restin’ place.” Why Red Angers a Dull. The reason why anything of a red color excites and infuriates animals of the ox family is because red is "the complimentary color of green, and the eyes of cattle being long fixed on the green herbage while feeding, when they espy anything red it impresses their sight with a greatly increased intensity. No doubt the same effect is produced upon all grazing animals by being suddenly confronted with the color-red, but oxen and bulls, being more pugnacious, show greater ex citement, and will even attack that which surprises them. The Baker Abroad. The French baker is not only re quired to conform to laws regarding weight, but he is also told at what price he must sell his bread. He is further required to deposit a certain sum of money in the hands of the municipal authorities as a surety of good behavior. In the large fortified cities he has to keep a specified quan tity of flour on hand to provide for warlike emergencies. In Germany laws of similar import are in exist ence, and are enforced with such severity that no baker ever dreams of defying them. Springs -‘Break” In February. “February fill-dike,” is so called, because, irrespective of rainfall, the spring's “break” in that month. It is a curious provision of nature that the water supply should remain pent up in the hills until wanted. In Dorset shire the country folk say the springs burst after high winds. Last year there was little wind before they broke, but m due time they irrigated the meadows, as they do yearly, gen erally about the middle of February, thus justifying the old title. A Wonderful Cherry Tree. What is believed to be the largest and most fruitful cherry tree in the world stands on land owned by Mr. John Capura of Oroville, Cal. It is of the ox-heart variety, and is a wonder in several ways. It is eighteen years old and is six feet in circumference at the ground, and over sixty feet high. During the season of 1887 (which you can put down as one exceptionally favorable to the cherry) it bore 2,800 pounds of fruit. The Difference. Judge Jeremiah Black for a long time wore a black wig. On one oc casion, haying donned a new one, he met Senator Bayard, who thus ac costed him: "Why, Black, how young you look! You are not so gray as I am, and you must be twenty years older.” “Humph!” replied the judge; “good reason; your hair comes by descent and I get mine by purchase.” GREEN GOODS. Th« Deal Vu Almost Made Whea Con federate Money Spoiled It. “Well, jedge,” said the man wlfti the bristly moustache who was up for sentence, "It wuz dis here way. I played’d jay fer a sucker an’ I ketched him. See? I jist t’rowed him a few lines ’bout green goods an’ .he < an swered d’ letter like it brung him news uv a forchun. I goddim t’ cum here an’ jollied him along a4' we wuz ’bout* t’ do bizness. Wo went out t’d’ meetin’ place set fer us an’ I showed how d’ ol’ t'ing worked. He wus to gimme his dough an’ I wuz t’ ship him d’ green stuff by express. See? I flashed d’ roll on ’im an’ it made his eyes stick out like dey was hen eggs. Den dey wuz more talk an’ I tol’ ’im I c’uld give ’im a thousan’ uv d’ green stuff fer two-fifty uv d’ dough dat wus straight goods, an’ he bit I counted out d’ stuff, an’ jist as I had d’ deal all made in me min’ de jay sez t' me—” Here the man with the bristly mus tache began to laugh. "Well,” said the judge, “what did he say to you?” "lie sez t’ me,” continued the man with the bristly mustache, VI w’d’-*-” but he began to laugh again. “Stop that laughing and go on with your story,” Baid the judge, sternly. The man with the bristly mustache threw back his shoulders and took a long breath. “He sez t’ me,” he began again, “w’ud I take Confed’rlt money, an I soaked him.” NOT SUPERSTITIOUS. She Had Entirely Recovered From That Weaknei*. “I used to be superstitious, but I have overcome the feeling entirely.” “Entirely?” I asked. “Oh, yes,” was her reply. “Begin ning anything on Friday, or on the thirteenth of the month, going under ladders, refusing to turn back after I have started out, picking up black pins, meeting cross-eyed people on Monday, singing before breakfast—in fact, all those ridiculous ideas! I have gotten bravely over.” “Good,” I replied as I put on my bonnet—we were going out together —“I am glad to know that you are so sensible.” “Have you got a hatpin you can loan me, Polly, dear?” she asked. An idea struck me. I went to my jewel-case and took out a long scarfpin with an opal head, and handed it to her. She took it, and then dropped it, as if it was hot! “Mercy me!” she cried; “I wouldn’t wear an opal for $100 a minute!” “But I thought you weren’t super stitious?” “Oh, well; opals everybody knows about. That’s a fact and not a super stition,” was her unconvincing and un grammatical reply. So there you are. HOW HE DID IT. A Han Who Hade SffOO by Knowing How to Look Interested. • !‘I made $500 once,” said the man in the mackintosh, “by merely keeping my mouth shut.” “Was it at an auction?” asked the man in the slouch hat. “No.” “High-priced doctor asked you to fehow him your tongue, and you didn’t do it?” ventured the man who had his feet on the table. “No. It was—” “Found it*on the street and didn’t say a word about it to anybody?” sug gested the man behind green goggles. “Do it on a bet?” inquired the man in the shaggy ulster. “Burglar asked where* your money was hid and you were struck speech less and couldn’t tell him?” hazarded the man with a big spot of gray in his moustache. “You think .you’re pretty smart,” said the man in the mackintosh, speaking to the crowd generally, “but you’re not. None of you would ever guess it. I made that $500 in the sim plest way in the world. A rich old uncle who was visiting us told a long story we’d heard him tell a hundred times before. I was the only one in the family that didn’t yawn, and he remembered me in his will.” ' An imp. If at present we were to call a boj an imp, he would possibly be offended. But in Spenser’s time “imp” had still a very good sound, and he allows a noble lady a lady gent, as he calls her, to address Arthur as “Thou worthy imp.” Nor is there any harm in the word, for “imp” meant originally graft, then offspring. To graft in German is impfen. No College Complete Without It. . At a large reception given not long ago Mrs. Julia Ward Howe wore the badge of the Phi Kappa Beta society. “Mrs. Howe,” whispered a young girl as she accepted that venerable lady’s cordial hand-shake, “can you give the Phi Kappa Beta grip?” “No, my dear,” replied the older woman, “but I could give the Phi Kappa Beta yell if I dared.” Has Many Pleasures In Reserve. Timothy Dyer,of Vinalhaven, Maine, is now in his 91st year. He recently captured a 332 pound halibut. He says he never wore a shoe of any kind until he was 18 years old. He never lias ridden on the cars, and but once on a steamboat. He has never visited a tavern, nor quarreled with any one, he says, and has never been shaved by a barber. _ Quebec Protects the Boys. The legislative assembly of Quebec has just adopted a piece of rather un usual legislation for the restriction of the use of tobacco among minors. The sale of tobacco is absolutely forbidden to persons under eighteen years of age, while boys -under fifteen years found using it are to be punished by fine or imprisonment. Clifford Blackman A Boston Boy's Kysslght Saved-Perhaps His Lira By Hood’s Sarsaparilla—Blood Pot* sonsd by Canker. Bead ths following from a grateful nothori " My little boy had Scarlet Fever when 4 years old, and It loft him very weak and with blood welcomed with caahor. Bis eyes became so inflamed that his sufferings were Intense, ant for seven weeks he Could Not Open His Eyes. 1 took him twice during that time to the Eye and Ear Infirmary on Charles street, but their remedies failed to do him the faintest shadow of good. 1 commenced giving him Hood’a Sarsaparilla and It soon cured him. I have never doubted that It amvod his sight, even ** very life. You may use this tes timonial In any way yon choose. I am always ready to sound the praise of Hood's 8arsaparilla because of the wonderful good it did my son." Annin F. Bucuuy, 2888 'Washington St, Boston, Mass. Qet HOOD’S.

May Not Make the Biggest Scores, Bat Beat for Other Beesons. “It will be a surprise to the publlo to know that the best marksmen are not all in the sharp-shooters’ teams of the militia organizations,” said Lieu tenant H. C. Du Val, of the New York Seventh. “The men who go upon the teams are better than the best marks men because they are the ones who can do their utmost under the strain of shooting in matches, j "There are fellows in nearly every regiment who can give large odds to the men in their teams, but they break up and go to pieces when they know that they are shooting in a match for the credit and standing of their reg iments. The men who get on the teams are the stolid, imperturbable, steady chaps who can be relied upon to not get rattled when everything depends upon their doing their best. “They have either got no nerves, at all or else their nerves are of steel, and though they may not make such scores as some nervous, slightly-built fellows, they are excellent shots, and what they are able to do they never fail to da They are often fellows of big build aad good, round girth. “The best team in this country last year looked like a rather dull lot of workmen out of a factory, but dyna mite could not disturb their self possession. ” HAD TO CLIMB ,A TREE. The Pastor Made the Woodchnek Do an Unusual Thing. Men who have hunted woodchucks know that they never climb trees. That is, it is not [their nature to do so, and no one familiar with their habits would believe that one ever did unless he saw it himself. The pastor of a little Baptist church in Kentucky knew this characteristic of the animal, and on it based a story. The congregation was in debt 8400 for its new church, and one Sunday was set for making an appeal for subscrip tions. In the course of his exhorta tion that the members of his flock be liberal, the minister said: “This congregation is like a wood chuck a man once told me about He was hunting the woodchuck with dogs, he said, and they pressed it so closely that it finally climbed a tree. “ ‘But’ I said to my friend, 'wood chucks can’t climb trees, and yon know it.’ ‘‘ 'This woodchuck had to climb a tree,’ replied my friend, and that’s the way it is with this congregation. You say you can’t raise 8400, but you’ve got to do it” Tho congregationsawthe point, and 8350 was raised on the spot and the rest was secured that week. The Microbe That Ceases Baldness* Dr. Saymonne baa made for himself an undying fame by discorering and naming the parasite that causes bald ness in the human species and loss of fur and hair in the lower animals. He calls the creature “bacillus carnlv orax,” a name which suggests that it is in some way related to the St. Louis Republic’s “cannibal microbe.” The man who discovers an exterrain •ator for “carnivorax” will deserve more fame than the learned M. D. who has discovered and named the creature. Walls on the Moon* Late photographs of the moon de veloped by the astronomer-photog rapher of the Pcsth academy exhibit some unaccountable pecularities. The plate shows hundreds of walls or em bankments seemingly about 200 feet high and from 125 to 200 yards in width on top. They run parallel to each other and appear to be from 1,000 to 1,300 yards apart. Watches. v A watch is usually composed of M pieces, and its manufacture embraees over 2,000 distinct operations. Some of its screws are so small as to be im perceptible to the unaided eye, and the slit in the heads of the screws is 2-1000tbs of an inch in width. UNTIL JAN. 1,1895, 26 CENTS.
