"With an answering lns of his head he sprati"; offal a pace Ahii-h shook out of the string of sleigh bells every particle of music they had in them. "There, now," merry Dick went on. " 1 know you'll answer for yourself after that." Hut lie bent toward tho l ale, pure face with :i n-ntle motion, and drew elosor up the white wolf-.skin around hi r. Few indeed but softened their voices in speaking to her, for bnoVi!ake was blind. "1 foigot lo talk, Dick. I believe," rdie answered in her low voiee, "I was really dreamiii";, in spite of the sleiirh bells." Dreaming! Out here in this wide awake day? Dreaming about what?" wondered Dick. "A dream of sleigh-bells," said the blind jrirl, slowly. And Kathleen at her side answered with a lla-li of her great dark eyes: Oh! I could dream about the Ieih bells mvMJlf. Don't they sound gay and victorious and MiuccMfiilr' Nobody's bells are like our bells, the Mlver bells that grandpa bought becau-e they pleased your ear, Snowllake, that Christ inas when you were a little girl." Ah! grandpa spoiled me," said fc'uowliake, smiling, and I was tooyoun to know how unreasonable I was to ask wteh a Christraas jrift- Hut I love this s' tin"; of sleigh-bells just as much as 1 diil then." "And have them hiui"; the j-ear round in your own room." finished Kathleen. " Yes, I know, and no wonder the- say pleasant thinjrs to you. Kven I. when they shook and jiujrled so, thought to myself of processions and conquerors and ;ooil fori tine and grand suitors c-omiug home from the wars to claim their lady-loves." "Ah! and what did Snowllako dream, 1 wonder?" queried Diek, curiously, riirbing his horse so that the bells rang more soltly. " I was listening to all the bells," re plied the blind girl. "Hark, Diek! hark, Kathleen! Do you notice how they cross each other, how they mingle, how they blend or else disagree? Sometimes the melody is smooth and sweet; sometimes it "is jangling and harsh. 1 fancied 1 know it is only a fancy- that 1 could hear our future Ii es" coming up through those sounds, trying to express themselves through them? There are some merry bells, like laughter; and again tinkling bells, like pleasures; and others that sound soft and kind like friends' voices. Hut. then, .some make painful discords, and 1 heard -Oh! there it is again!" the blind girl shivered, "do you hear them, too? How strangely heavy and hoarse uud s'cw those bells ring, ami what a. creaking, funereal tone thev have! Nev er mind, underneath them all I hear our own sweet, steady bells, dear to my ti.tr. so true and "clear, like one deep, perfect, sure joy. underneath the eon fused, eonllicting, changing over-current always." Well done, dreamer!" laughed Dick, nlbea a tril!e huskily, " whoever would think of all that but you?" And Kathleen, radiant, willful Kath leen, with her bright cheeks, her shin ing eves, her half-defiant ways, pressed reverently the blind girl's hand. She was not over-tolerant of other people or their fancies, ami sentiment she de clared she despi.sed. But she never held lightly any word that Snowtlake said; sTiownake was the one unearthly thing that among saints, angels, myths and goddesses she believed in, shosaid. I suppose these thoughts she has come to comfort her iu the dark," she thought. 1 )ick rattled on. He had a boy's hor ror of an ovcr-dosc of sober talk. Per haps at some ages, indeed, it would prove fatal. "I'll swear by tho sleigh-bells. Snowtlake, that when I've made my fortune out in India with Uncle Lane, the sleigh-bells themselves shall an nounce it to you. You shall hear them come jingling madly down the street nnd up the avenue to the door where you have been faithfully watting forme like my true little lady-love, as you are Then, having thus prepared you, 1 will rush in. throw my gold-bags at jour feet, and so devote myself and them to you that you shall live ever after in one porpctual concert of sleigh-bells, the year round!" Dashing across the corner and through the avenue as ho finished speaking, Dick drew up with a resonant clash of "bells boforc the broad door of the comely old house which pooplc in general called the Square House, or in dividuals, incase they were punctilious, the Squire's House. JINGfcK SECOND. 'Kathleen, Kathleen, you cannot, you will not break my heart?" Kathleen's lip quivered, her eyes fell before the half-commanding, half-beseeching gaze that rested with such in tensity upon her face. For a second she was honest with herself, and owned silently that if she broke this manly heart it was breaking her own. too. Then there rang out on the clear, frosty air of he star-lit Christmas eve, and penetrated keenly into the breath less hush of the room wiicre Kathleen and her suitor had finished hanging the Christmas wreaths he had brought her, an hour ago, a peal of sleigh-bells the very same old, silver-voiced hells that the blind girl had loved, shaken by the impatient stamp of the coal-bl-iek horse standing at the gate. Not at the gate of the old fair home, 'the 'Squire's House," but before a cramped, brick tenement in a dull city street. Full of hope and courage. Dick had left the beloved "Square Hou-e" ami gone out to Uncle Lane and India when he had finished school. I'pon his father's sudden death an! the al most simultaneous disaster which swal lowed up many more fortunes than this one, Diek, at whatever sacrifice, would have hastened home but for Kathleen. But Kathleen, strong and self-willed as ever, would not hear to her gentle mother, would not for once hear to Sne-wflake. " Tilde Lane writes, and Dick him self writes, that Dick's fortune is made if he can remain at his post a gien space of time. Kenriiu he shall." vowed Kathleen, clenching her hands, "and he shall know so much only of our losses as is necessary. He shall have every chance to gain the fortune he used to laugh about, but which has now become a matter of such bitter need." Kathleen's temper, Kathleen's will, Kathleen' real force and facultv car ried their credentials with them, and drew over to her side friends and help ers by whose aid everything was sold, yes, even the silver sleigh-bells, . for Snowllake insisted on it -a transfer ef fected lo this changed home, and work found for Kathleen that the mother and her daughters made brave efforts to call the equivalent of their living expense-. So Dick was left to work on manfully at his far-oT toil, saddened, indeed, but unsuspicious that Kathleen's let ters left the half untold of their revers es and all the stint and suffering there by entailed. ""Courage, then, whitest Snowl'ake, dearest lady-love!" 1 e wrote, blithely, "I II claim the sleigh-bells eL" Poor, haughtv Kathleen! What a change that jingle of the sleigh-belLs at the gate wrought in her oftencd thoughts! So it was Frank Collamore who had brought Snowtlake's silver sleigh-bolls? She had not knon'u, had, indeed, tried not to know who had bought, them. A twinge of unreasonable anger stung her at the discovery now. It was a well timed discovery, she thought in a flash. She had been on 1 he-point of forgetting quite that this could never airain be the Kathleen Morris of old times this was a poor girl, a girl who woiked for her living and Frank C'ollamoio had no right to be coquetting with such a per son. His lady mother deigned her but the most distant nod if by chance they met in town. Cossip had biowu to her ears ah! fatally easy it is for gossip to connect by an invisible telephone with her victims! the lady sister's .supercil ious remark: "Of course if Frank had not already gone . so far, if ho did not feel iu honor bound, there could be nothing more between them. Why! they've had to sell everything, posi tively everthing, my dear, down lo their sleigh-bells. But, as it is. Frank being the soul of honor, it's very lucky for her. cerlainh, and doubtless she will take every pains to hold him fast," Unlucky stamp of his masters pet horse that Kathleen herself in other days had named Pride! Frank Colla more drove him last and far that day, a disappointed, wrathful man. It goaded him to hear the sweet-toned hells, and 1 am afraid that both to him and to Kathleen Christmas that year meant so little good-will that they took very meager pains to have it afford to those about them peace. JINCI.K TIIIKP. "There is more sleighing this winter than usual. How the sleigh-hells riot to-day!" said the blind girl. Her face was as serene and pure 'is ever, onlv palur and thinner. In spite of all that tiad come and gone since she had told to Dick and Kathleen, years ago, that "dream of sleigh-bells," she looked like one who hid always kept tl.o joy she had spoken- of then "one deep, perfect, sure joy, underneath the con fused, eonllicting, changing over current." The tinkling bells of laughter and pleasance were indeed little heard in this narrow city home; even friends' voices were grown few, and. .shielded by her blindness though she was, there were many times when discordant cir cumstances or painful anxieties re minded her how old delights Lad grown rusty, ami with what a weight her heart beat now. The three lonely women could not speak even to each other of that which was their worst dread, as this added year waned to its close. There had been a long dclav in letters and remittances from Dick. Letters sent to him at the old address, letters sent to Uncle Lane, had been returned unopened. What could it mean? Helplessly thoy looked at each other, and silently plodded on. Kven Kathleen, self-confident Kathleen, be gan to doubt herself at last. Perhaps she had made a dreadful mistake in try ing to manage herself, and to hide all from Dick Her mother had long ago insisted on sharing Kathleen's work, until her health had begun to fail. The feeble slop, the slight cough, were a constant reproach to Kathleen. Her own roses were faded, and many a night of weary toil, many a self-sacrifice for the sake of the one who could not see the strategy, had dimmed tho lire that still could flash sometimes in her eyes. As her sister spoke, she looked tip. Something in tho transparent f ice, an increased delicacy and sharpness, was brought out by tho slant of the light through tho window near, and with a sharp paug she thought: "She looks too like au angel. Am I going to lose them all? Is this tho punishment of my self-will?" For a moment she could not speak in reply to Snowllake' s remark about the bells, but she did not need, for her sis ter presently asked, going on placidly with her knitting, which eked out Ihcfr scanty income: " What bells are those I hear now? They grate and clank. They arc liko doors turning on disused hinges.'' Kathleen glanced out to see, and rose. Hushing a little. " Onr landlord is coming in. dear. I will receive him, and would you sit with mother while he stays? You shall not be teased with our badgering about money matters." Despite her "utmost efforts the month's rent now due was not ready; Snowllake need not know that. But what could be the "badgering about money ma'.ters' that kept Mr. Lawrence so long tho sister began to wonder with Iict mother, by ami bv. She tried not to hear the voices, that sounded as though some one were en treating, persuading, arguing, and as though Kathleen's answers were agitat ed and brief. Still more to prevent that quick and sensitive listening which wa3 her habit from gathering aught that Kathleen would rather not have otcrheard, the blind girl iravc herself up lo thoughts which all day had been oppressing her, and all dav had been withstootL This was Dick's birthday; one week before Christmas. Ah! the old holiday frolics; the old Christmas cheer, the merry-makings that, in the dear, "square house." used to mark this date! And now and then oh. dear Dick! where can you be? And if you only knew!" whispered the blind girl to herself, crying softly, as she thought and thought. Meanwhile Kathleen was soro beset. Was Mr. Lawrence right? Once she had believed her own judgment infalli ble; her faith iu it was shaken now. Was he right, aler all? Kven though he were not her first Ioc, could she not be all he asked, a faithful wife? Did it matter any more about herself, .since the love she had so reekh'-sly re eete I could never complete her own life? Here would be peace, protect'on, even luxury, for the wasting mother and the delicate sister; she would not longer hesitate thus se'lishly, for her own strength had had to own itself over taxed of late, and could not long be adequate to the burden she had so proudly assumed. Almost the assent which "would end all had been forced to her lips, when the door opened and the blind girl stood there, qti.ver.ng with excitement, au unwonted Hush on her cheek. "Hark! hark! don't you hear I hem?" she cried, iu a quick, ringing voice. "Darling, what is it? ' and Kathleen ran to her, frightened and my stilled. "Nearer, nearer! Kathleen, don't you hear them? How fast thev are coming! How they chime and clr.sh'" Kathleen did hear at la-t the old sil ver music of the string of s'eiirh-bells. "It is no wonder, Snowllake," she tried to say calmly. "I presume the C'ollainores have them still, and I know the family is back from Kurope. Prob ably some of them are driving past." Hut louder in more frantic glee rang the familiar bells, and. stopped; stopped at their gate. "Dick oh! it is Dick?" gasped Snowllake. Which was Dick, which was Frank Collamore poor, dazed Kathleen could not clearly be sure at lir.sL Siie was only sure of one thing: she had not said "Yes" to Mr. Lawrence; indeed, he had quietly disappeared. How did they tell everything? How did everything gel found'out? At last there were no secrets. Between smiles, tears, silence and speech all was ex plained. On Kathleen's part, why she had deceived Dick so, and why, alter disgracing herself by a fainting-lit Lko any common, weak-nerved girl, desti tute of will and energy, she had to lie still, utterly weak ami nervelc.-s from the relaxation of the long over-strain. On Dick's park how certain rumors had reached him which made him both in dignant and alarmed. " 1 could not believe at first that you could have misled me so. Kathleen," said Dick, "bid dually I could endure it no longer. When Uncle Lane found that return I would, even though my fortunii was as yet only a small fortune, he doe'arcd that he would come, too. I will own, Kathleen, that I was too :in;ry with you to write home then. 1 sard I would surprise you. and, if you suffered any suspense meanwhile, it would serve y on riht. I was a brute!" Dick interrupted himself to interpolate gratuitously. Then he resumed: "Poor Uncle Lane' At his age the hardships it was our ill-luck to encounter were too much for him. He grew very ill, and at the very first Kuropean port we were put ashore anil I turned nurse. It was a peculiar malady; we uoin Hoped every week that the next would see him rallying, so that we might go on. 'Don't write; we'll surprise them yet,' he would say. But death, alius! sur prised him lirst. Then for a huigwhi o I remember nothing. I suppose I was vcrv ill; I know I was mouths getting well, months in earing whether I ever came home or not. So you see my surprise is a very belated surprise, in deed," said Diek, drawing Snowllako closer. "But a genuine one in the end. For instance, only imagine my sensations," laughe I Frank Collamore, "at having this bearded stranger grip my horse's bit in the middle of the street, and ex amine those sleigh-bells as if ho wero a madman." "It was a mad proceeding," an swered Dick, "but 1 had only just land ed, and was feeling my way to this street and number when I suddenly heard the dear old bells. 1 knew them in an instant; 1 never dreamed that any but some of you could be driving be hind them, and I suppose 1 did lo.-e my wits. Certainly, I never felt so trans tixed with amazement as to sec Frank, whom I knew on a second glance, glow ering at me over the bells whore I had found Snowlkike's initials engraved, just as they always were." "Thoy shall go back to their right ful owner." said Mr. Collamore, gently. "Snow-fake won't refuse that gift from me on Christinas Day I know, particu larly if 1 tako Kathleen's" "Oh, hush, hush!" said a warning voice from Kathleen's sofa, and just then no one minded the interruption, for Dick was speaking. " I believe, little Snowllake, that my boyish boast has come true; I have brought you behind the sleigh-bells a fortune, or almost a foitune, at last, for Uncle Lane has left his all to me. But," and Dick's voice shook, "it has cost me dear, for I have lost in him a second father. And to you all three it almost came. I fear, too "late." Not quite! Thoy kejrf. their Christ mas of a week "later with chastened gladness, indeed, but good care and freedom from anxiety in time brought health, assured though never robust, to tho invalid mother, peace unruffled to the blind girl, and the old warm glow to Kathleen's face, the old sparkle to her dark ejes. "But now I know," she said to Snowllake on her wedding-day. as they stood once more in tho parlors of " tho Square House," " that your prophecy out of the sleigh-bells was reality, not all dream, as 1 thought then: I know that een the harsh and discordant clashing, which seemed such a dreary chaos, has not been in vain." Spring field (Mass.) Republican. Accustomed as we all arc to birda and insects on ladies' hats and bonnets, it was with something of a shock that I noticed a pretty g:rl at church on Sun day with a velvet toque, round which was pinned a symmetrical row of but terllies. Tho little croaturcs had been artistically mounted and presented the appearance of having been killed on the hat. an appearat.ee from which theii brilliant prcttiness was quite insuffi cient to remove the painful impression. They were of all colors, and you could almost fancy their little wings were still quivering. London Life. Tho town of San Jose, Cal., has been greatly excited by the discovery of three Chinese lepers in a small shanty near the railroad depot, where almost all tho washing done by the Chinamen in town is performed. The lepers have been secluded here for some threeyears. One of them, although in an advanced stage of tho disease, has been begging at night on the streets of the city. The shanty has been used by the Chinamen as a resort for lepers, although nothing but shelter was given the poor wretches, and how they lived is a mystery. "Trcserrins Shingle. The large number of buildings, the roofs of which tho farmer is compelled lo keep tight, makes it a question of importance as to how he can best pro serve the shingle, anil do it at a cost that will make it advisable. The split and shaved shingle of a hun dred years ago. that came from tho old growth of pine, was quite a different irticlc from tho sawed pine shingle from the sapling pines of to-day. hile tho former would keep a roof tight thirty or forty years, tho latter will keep one tigh't not much more than one-quarter of that period. Various methods have been devised to make the shingle of the present day more lasting. Dipping them in hot limo water, or coal tar. is practiced by some, and is found to be very beneficial, but it is very disagreeable work to lay them, and carpenter-; are not inclined to en conrage the practice. Some lime the roofs alter the shingles have been laid a year or two. No doubt this is ery beneficial to that portion of the shingle that it touches. It is now the practice of some to paint the roofs, as well a- the other portions of the bu I linjs. A great variety of paints are u-ed. While tome use white lead and lin-eed oil. others use various kinds of mineral paints with cheap fish oil. Some of these are good, while others are almost worthless. About thirteen years ago there was a paint made of ground slate, mixed with coal tar, and probably some other sub stance, which, when i roperlv put on. proved to be not only lire proof, but a great preserver of the Bhini:li-, keep ing them without any perceptible change for more than ten year.-; but this soon went out of sUle, if not out of ua, probably because it was so much trouble to put it on properly that the work was improperly done. To do the work weU. it was nocessan to apply this preparation so hot that it would penetrate the shingles, and make a sur face as hard as slate .-tone. Probably the time will come when shingles will be dipped in some material that wiil not be disagreeable to tlie carpenter-, and yet preserve them from dweav. When this can be done at the mill where the shingles aro sawed, and they can go to market all prepared, it will be a step of progress in the right direc tion, and will meet a want that at pres ent is felt by all owners of buildings. MaiS'tdtiiacUs I'louij'imnn. .Should There .ot Be a Change of Crops I Over and over again experience lias shown that in tho-e de-trio's where a diversified style of agriculture is earned on. the average proiits of a senos of years are greater than when the pro ducer is dependent on one thing. Noting this, some teachers go on the opposite extreme, and wou'd plant equally of all crops and follow equally every branch of farming. But we hold that that in ius great an error as to fol low out too closely the one idea. .lust now the agriculturist of the South are getting their annual advice to grow le-s cotton and more coin. It is een.-aid that the "grangers ' hae incorporated this advice as one of the leading articles of faith in their Southern creed. But from all we have read and noted, tho South with all its love of cotton never had half so much a druj as sonic of the Kastern States have had of wheat or corn. It is the wi-e-it policy for every fann er to have some one leal-ng teat lire on which to depend that he finds his sod and climate be.sl fitted for, or his ma -ket the ino-t encouraging for him to produce. These may possibly fail, and in view thereof other things should bo grown which will work in with the other-, and bring iu something certa'n when failure conies. Diversification in thrs ca.e is little more than the prin ciple of insurance, to which every pru dent merchant likes to devote a small percentage of his capital: bu the per centage is always small he would not like to devote very much, nor would the farm capitalists devote too much on its insurance crops. The South can grew cotton belter than any other part of the world. When there is a good crop it is very profitable, and it is rare ly so abundant but there is some pro tit made. We doubt whether the advico to grow more corn and less cotton is wise, or if wise would ever be taken. One might as well tell an Iowa man to grow less corn and more wheat or oats. For miles and miles through that State one sees nothing but corn, yet though in any one year it brings but ten cents per bushel, one sees as much the nextyear as ever. And why? because wheat or oats never does as well, never yields the ame protit. It has been shown, by what seems to bo a careful average of years, that corn yields in Iowa three-fourths more profit than wheat, and double that of oats. With these facts, which intelligent farmers soon understand, though those with hay-seed merely in their hair do not, it "would be idle to tell an Iowa man ho must grow less corn, because once in awhile there is an over-stock, and the same principle holds good iu cotton culture. Uirmanlown Tele graph. Cleanliness a Preventire for Hog Dis eases. During the past season there has been a great deaj said and written unon the subject of allowing hogs lo run in past ures. The discussion both in and out of the newspapers has been watched with a great deal of interest by hog raisers, whose practical knowledge, ac quired by experience, has enabled them long since to form opinions upon the subject. These men. who have money invested in tho business, are prone to arrive at conclusions based ujon actual observation from which thev form coni-mon-sense ideas of what is beneticial to the'rr stock, and the wiseacres who read them long, self-consequential lectures upon subjects about which thev have no personal knowledge receive but littlo consideration at the hands of breeders. It is a common remark that most any thing is good enough for a hog, and to this senseless proposition is traced the diseases among swine owned by breed ers who indorse it. Since time imme morial the hog has been called the farm scavenger, but, nevertheless, the suc cessful breeder is he who relics the least upon this overestimated characteristic of the animal. Bad water, worse treat ment in handling, and a superabund ance of filth are the foundations of all diseases to which hogs are subject, and it is consequently easy to believe that tho health of the animal and the quality of the meat must increase in proportion to the cleanliness of his food and sur roundings. It is believed that there has been less disease among swine dur ing the past year than during any t:me for the past decade, and those who ought to know attribute the fact to in creased care on tho part of breeders, who li3vc realized the value of cleanli ness. Grass-fed hogs who have the run of good and nutritious pastures, with plenty of pure water are the ones that bring" the highest prices in any market Ths summer feed of grass results in bone, muscle, and all the good qualities of tirst-class pork, and a' fall feed of corn just prior to marketing makes the plump and round finish considered so desirable. It is not too much to sav that if swine-taiscnj would adopt a uni versal plan of cleanliness in raising and feeding their stock, it would be but a very short time before complaints of American pork would cease to bo heard in any European country. Breeders owe it to themselves and they owe it to their swine to adopt such reforms as will insure them as decent treatment as possible. CIricaj) Iribune.

Hake in a moderate oen. uud eaten hot with butter. An old pork butcher in Detroit says the prejudice in Kurope aga'nst American pork arise- partly from the fact that hogs fattened on our Indian corn do not make as line pork a do tho-e of Germany, the Netherlands, France, etc., which are fattened chielly on peas and buckwheat. With the lat ter pitch a condition as Musty pork" is unknown. As both pas and buck wheat grow rinkly in this country, wherever properly cultivated, it may bo worth while for -oino farn.er to te-t tlie matter. Po-sibly the oleaginous principle in corn may tend to deteri orating effects iu some degree, though that cereal will doubtless continue tho principal food for fattening hogs in this country. - Persons who are unfortunate enough to live in damp houses, particu larly near tindraiued land, are apt to think that there is no help for them save iu removal, .and says thev are mistaken, and states that experiments have shown that it is possible to mate rially improve the atmosphere iu such neighborhoods in a very simple manner by the planting of the laurel and the sunflower. The laurel gives oil an abundance of o.otie. whil-t the "soulful-eyed" sunflower is potent in do stoying the malarial condition. These two, it planted on the most restricted scale in a garden, close to the house, will be found to speedily increase the dryne.ssaiid salubrity of the atmosphere, and rheumatism, if it does not entirely become a memory of the past, will bi largely al.eviated. Far y. Among tho causes of farcy in horses may be mentioned foul air in close and ill-ventilated stables, privations, bad food, inoculation or contact with glan dered horses. Some chronic and debil itating diseases may result in farcy and glanders. Farcy and glanders aie twin disea-es. or identical, and cither of these two forms of disease generally terminates with both forms fully devel oped. Farcv atlects the sunerlieial h mphatic glands and vessels, showing itself in painful, corded swellings on various parts of the body, neck, head or limbs, especially between the hind legs. Gradually tho small tumors, which aro termed larcy buds, suppur ate, and discharge unhealthy-looking matter, and the ulcers show little or no tendency to heal. Tieatmentof farcy can only be recommended in the begin ning of the disease. When far ad vanced an animal, affected with such a loathsome and contagious disea-e, had better be destroyed, both for the sake of safety to other horses as well as for persons who are obliged to handle them. The treatment of farcy should be both external and internal. To the farcy ulcers apply either strong solu tion of chloride "of lime or carbolic acid. Internally givo half a dram, twice daily, of iodide of copper or iodide of iron, with half an ounce of gentian root- An ounce of aloes, with naif an ounce of saltpeter, may be given every fortnight. Good, nourish ing food, in liberal quantity, daily ex ercise and attention to cleanliness are also essential. Such horses should be kept separate from others, and the stable utensils, vessels for watering and harness should not be used for healthy animals. Thorough disinfec tion of the premises and utensils are necessary. 1'rairie Farmer. Posts Set "Top Knd Down." It is believed by many persons that posts set in the ground, in a position the "reverse" from which they stood wh la growing in the tree, will last much longer than when set "top end up." In the spring of 1879 I selected sea soned sticks three feet long. These were split in two. and cut in two. mak ing four pieces of each. One set was placed in well drained sand, the other in c'ay soil. In every case, two pieces were set side by side, with earth be tween; one as it stood in the tree, the other reversed. I tried thirteen kinds of timber. Some of these were young wood with bark on. All contained some hard wood. Those growing in sandy liad have just been examined. In caso ol the beech, sugar maple, iron wood, blck ash and black cherry, the piece reversed or placed "top end down" was somewhat most decayed. In case of red maple. American elm. butternut and red elm, the reverse piece was a trifle the soundest- In case of basswood. white ash, wh te oak and blue ash, there wa-no perceptible dif ference. I infer that where one piece decayed more than the other, t was caused by some tr'tling difference in the sticks- The freshly .-awed ends in each case tvere placed uppermost and came an inch or so above the ground. lroj.

Nowhere in the world, proba bly, is so much time and money ex pended upon the furnishing ami orna menting of the homes of the rich a in that city. The draping of curtains has become" a distinct branch of art, and every decorator and upholsterer ha aiie or more employees whose sole limi ne it is to arrange in graceful folds the draperies whih are now indi-pensA'!o nt door., windows and fireplace. Kven the banister- must now lie stuffed ar.d tufted and drajwd on cither side with heavy fringe. Ceilings are frc-coed and painted in the studios of dLtingui-hcd artist.-, and then tran-fcrred to the houses that they are to embelli-h. II m dreils of women are employed, at an c-pen-o of thousand.- of dollars, ujvjn em broidery and art niedlowork which are to adorn the sumptuous palatvj in which the rich men live. Paintings, statuary, carvings in stone and wood, the n he-t fabrics of French and Indian l-oms, in deed, all that is rare and lieautiful in nature and art, are brought to War upon tho decoration of these republican pal aces. K en the -tables in w Inch hor?o, coachmen, and grooms are to be houod are far more luxurious than the simple homos in which the fathers of our raev pa ed their lives. The nowly.fmt-hed -table- of Cornelius Vanderbilt in Fifty eighth street far outshine thi-e of the Komau Lmperor whose -ttuiptuous ip.
