AN AWKWARD BLUNDER.
ew a Traett8; Van Prored glesfslf
Be a Horn liar.
Some years ago I had occasion' to
pend the night in the little town of
Red Wing, Minnesota. I was given
lodging by Deacon Rogers, an estima
ble gentleman, who, although I was an
absolute stranger to him, entertained
jnc to the best of his knowledge and
ability- After an early tea I was taken
up-stairs to the spare bed-room, which
ras to be my apartment for the night.
The only tiling I remember about tho
room other than its musty flavor was
the spare bed a large four-posted af
fair, whose coverlids were of such
snowy whiteness and immaculate
smoothness that it seemed Hke sacri
lege to disturb them; but a tired man
has little conscience, aud I hastily dis
missed mv scruples and, turning out
the light, scrambled between the sheets.
The pillows were large and soft, and
the mattress was hard and unyielding.
After shifting my position a number of
times to find a comfortable place, I dis
covered that the bed had an adjustable
ridge in it Wherever I moved there
it was. I couldn't avoid it; it followed
ino everywhere. It was the only bed I
ver saw that it was possible to fall oat
pf on both sides at once. Finally in
despair I threw the pillows on the floor,
and then I made another astonishing
discovery. The ridge changed into a
hollow, which was even worse than the
ridge. I was unable to alter this, and
it stuck to me the whole of the night.
My dreams, such as I had, were
peculiar. I was spending my time in
alternately rolling up hill and then
rolling down again, the way you do in
a sleeping car on a Southern Indiana
railroad.
The nest morning the deacon asked
me how I had spent the night. Dis
liking to be thought ungrateful, I told
hhntuat I had never slept better.
"How did you like the bed?" asked
Mrs. Rogers.
"Never slept in one I liked better,'
I replied.
A year or so afterward, while making
another trip through the Northwest, I
met at the house of a friend in St. Paul
some people whose faces seemed
atraugely familiar to inc. We wcrG
talking of that section of the country,
when the lady remarked:
"Weren't you up this way about two
years ago?"
I admitted that I had been.
"You stopped with Deacon Rogers in
Bed Wing?"
"Deacon Rogers, Deacon Rogers," I
repeated. "O. yes! he is the man who
had that awful bed."
"What about the bed?' asked the
lady, as she exchanged significant
glances witJi an elderly gentleman.
Then with rare and radiant idiocy I
proceeded to describe :is vividly as I
could the terrible tortures I endured on
that frightful night. When 1 had
finished, the lady remarked .scntcntions
ly to the old gentleman:
"There, Abram. 1 was right; didn't
I tell yon that man was a born liar?"
She was Mrs. Rogers. "- Drake's Trav

CANAL-BOATMEN.
Living Like KIiic " Mm 1" Canal Dnr
inp tlit" Winter Seaion.
A bee and a "eanaler" are alike, in sev
eral respects. Kaeh works hard in the
summer, and each as a long season in
which he lays up, living on what he has
stored away.
"You have a piettiresque and roman
tic way of living, have you not?" asked
a rcjorler of a woman who was emerg
ing from the eahin with a basket of
snowy clothes in her arms.
"Hum; well it is not all romance by
any means," was the reply. "Still we
manage to live very comfortably on the
canal. We are always warm. Our
cabin is divided into two state-rooms, a
kitchen and a sitting-room."
Descending into the cabin the re
porter discovered that the entire apart
ment was about 16x15 feet. The state
rooms were boxes entirely filled by beti
ding. The kitchen, a range, partially
enclosed by a wooden screen at one
aide, while tho rest, of the space was de
voted to a "sitting-room," contained a
table, a couple of chairs, and left
enough space for one to walk around
between them. A man, his wife and
two children lived in this particular
cabin, which is exactly similar in size
and arrangement to those of all other
boats on the canal.
"In the summer," said the woman,
we have an awning ami hammocks
upon the deck: The children always
have plenty of play room, which is
more than can be said for many who
live more expensively. In this way we
not only save rent or taxes (for the
majority of canal men own their boats),
but during the summer we lay in a
Store for the winter, purchasing along
tho canal wherever the article wanted
can be bought the cheapest. During
the winter a canal man may become
a teamster, his horses or mules setting
him up in trade."
The owner of a finer boat said: "We
winter wherever we happen to be
frozen in. I live like a bee, I do. I
never work in the winter, not I. Look
at that butter (uncovering a beautiful
sample), that cost me just twenty cents
a pound. It would bring thirty cento
now, and it is a long way to spring yet,
There are about 7.000 boats on the
canal and from 4,000 to 5,000 families
live in this way. A trip from New York
to Buffalo takes thirty to thirty-three
days by horse or mule power and from
twenty-three to twenty-seven days by
steam" We. stable our animals on the
boat at night. Come and seethe stable.
There, it is small, but comfortable.
But we risk a mule's life every morning
and night as we get him in and out. I
am careful, lam, but the man in the
next boat killed two hist fall. It is, of
course, pleasanter to winter in the
basin at New York, though you must
pay $25 wharfage. There are from
700 to 1,000 boats in the basin every
winter. We have a church boat and
an entertainment boat. During week
days school is kept on the church boat.
and evcrv eveninir a praver meeting is
held there. It costs from $200 to $600
for a man ami family to winter on the
canal. On 200 he-lives like a poor
man, on $600 like a king. I live like a
king, like a king bee. 1 do." Rocltesler

ARTIFICIAL BYES.
Haw Lost Visual Organ Are Replaced at
Trifling- Coat.
"Among several thousand of these J
artificial eves there are hardly two
which are alike in size or color," said
a prominent manufacturer on South
Clark street and a former pupil of Dr.
Boisenncau, of Paris, France, the in
ventor of an improvement in artificial
eyes, to a reporter. "People speak of
glass eyes they are made for animals
and birds to be used by taxidermists
but eyes for humans are made of en
amel, variously colored, excepting the
outer transparent part, or cornea,
which is of crystal.
"In olden times golden plates were '
used, and even now in some parts of tho
old world silver plates arc often em
ployed. You will observe that these
eyes are hollowed. This surprises
some people, who imagine they are
round and solid like marbles. ',
"When an eye is diseased its com- ;
panion is liable to suffer .through sym-
pathy, and tho removal of the former is
imperative. It is probably a reasonable
estimate that one person out of every
one thousand has lost an eye. In about ;
half the cases the eve is entirely re-
moved, and in tho remainder an opora-
tion is performed, the conjunctiva being
divided and the natural muscles left to
control the artificial eye, or, as in acci- J
dents, the vitreous humor exudes from i
the eye, leaving a stump which rccoivos !
the enamel. In these latter cases tho i
artificial eye will move similarly to tho
good eye, and the movement-! of the j
eye-lids aid further in making the ap-
pearancc natural.
"j.ne material isouraraeu uintnium ;
Paris, and tho process of making is, of
course, a secret, but the eyes can not
be molded. They are usually made to
order, several being manufactarod, from
which the one best suited to the cus
tomer is selected. The remainder aro
thrown into stock, which accounts for
the fact that no two are alike. Tho
eyes in stock aro sold to the general
trade in collections of fifty, one hun
dred or more. Where parties out of
the city want eyes they are usually sent
a case of fifty 'to select one from, tho
rest being returned. This house and
one in New York City are the only onus
manufacturing artificial eyes in this
country, but there aro several such
concerns in Paris. We do a business
of probably forty thousand dollars an
nually, tho charges boing ten dollars
for an eye, or fifteen dollars if made to
order.
"People can often be fitted from
stock, but thov will come hundreds of
miles to be fitted exactly with respect
to cavity, color, blood-vessels, etc
Sometimes a customer will take an eye
of a different color from tho natural
one, and 1 have seen though the fact
is not recorded in medical works per
sons who hail ono gray eye and one
blue one, or a brown and a blue one.
There is one thing that can not be imi
tated the contraction and dilation of
the pupil; therefore the pupil is made
of medium size. But there havo been
fashionable women who have ordered
an eye for daytime and a different one
for night one with a small and the
other a large pupil.
"Some people have queer notions
about artificial eyes and iuquirc in all
seriousness if they can see with them.
A notorious Chicago darky, who was
fitted with an eye, had his imagination
so worked upon that he insisted he
could see witli it, ami another negro,
in New Orelans, said all hi.4 friend be
lieved he saw with his enamel eye. A
countryman once came in to have his
eye changed for ono with more expres
sion a manifest absurdity.
'1 had a customer who successfully
pursued the vocation of thief by means
of an artificial eve. When he stole he
was a one-eyed man. and immediately
afterwards he appeared with apparent
ly two good C3'cs. He escaped detec
tion for a long time. And, speaking
of theft, wo hail our entire stock of six
hundred eyes stolen bofore the great
fire by Dick Lane, the noted criminal,
now serving a term in the Michigan
penitentiary for larceny. Eyes wore
higher then, and tho lot was worth at
least ten dpllars each. Lune went
about the country jw an oculist, and had
sold all the oyes before he was capt
ured." Chicago News.
THE ANCIENT PUEBLO.
Ita
Pant History, IreHnt Rmodkm and
Future 1'roaperta.
Tho honorable Pueblo (Tucson) has
ilways prided itself on it antiquity.
It claims, I bolievcd, to lie the third
oldest town in the United States, the
Dnly two which are still more venera
ble and antiquo being San Augnstino,
Fla., and Sauta Fc, Now Mexico. It
was about three hundred j'cars ago
when the first settlors of whom history
speaks came hither. Some of Tucson's
present oldest inhabitants who belong
to the honorable society of pioncors
look as if they might have come here
about the same time They have at
auy rate, retained many of the simple
manners and customs of that period.
Tucson is pre-eminently an adobe
town. In Tombstone the adobe town
houses are tastefully disguised to simu
late stone or brick. There is no false
pretense of that sort here; it is pure
and unadulterated mod. They have
not used it all, either; there is plent3
of it left in the streets.
The ancient Pueblo pursued tho even
tenor of its ways for several hundred
years, nothing'happening to disturb its
peaceful slumber with exceptions of
the passage of some of the '49 gold
seekers until live years ago, when,
amidst great rejoicing from the majority
ami secret misgivings on the part of
some old timers, the shrill whistle of the
iron horse came towake the city from its
Rip Van Winkle sleep. From that time
modern Tucson dates its start The
arrival of the railroad put an end to the
good old-fashioned days of ox teams
from Yuma, when nothing less than a
two bit piece was known, and if a person
growled at paying a quarter for anecdle,
it was all laid" to tho high freight The
old firms coming into competition with
modern methods one by one went to
the wall. Tucson went in for fine
buildings and a big debt, like any giddy
young city in her teens. The reaction
"from the railroad boom soon came.
Tueson allowed the Souora railroad to
be built to Benson, and the Mexican
trade fell off. A number of grand
mining schemes resulted disastrously
to the investors. Things were looking
very blue indeed two years ago, when
came the Quijotoa excitement Tueson
thought that her good days had then
surely come. Quijotoa was to be
another Virginia City, to which Tucson
would play San Francisco. Two or
three telegraph linos, as many stage
lines, and several projected railroads
were fighting for a share of the great
prospective trado. A mile of street
was built at the "Bonanza city," the
money for which came mainly from
Tucson, although Quijotoa contributed
a great many dollars. The writer, who
was rather more of a lunatic than the
rest took out a big nowspaper outfit
and supplied a "long-felt-want" After
a weary two years of hopes .deferred,
that have made many a heart sick, the
end has come. Tho bnbblo has burst,
and all who could beg, borrow, or
steal a ride on any mode of conveyance,
from a burro to- a lumber wagon, have
left the city of the near future. Art

A FAMOUS On"?.
the Ancient Capital of the Dmkas
of DUon Looks in Oar Day.
Dijon, the old capital of Burgundy
nt 1ia residence of its Dukes, has
descended from its ancient pinnacle of
fame to be simply the seat of the de
partmental government of the Cote
d'Or. Its present sovereigns are merclj
commercial, and their scepter and sym
bols of power are the grand crus ol
wine Clos de Vougeot, Chamberlin,
Volnay, Romance, R'chebourg and all
tho rest The populace seems content
with the change of sovereigns. The
City has fifty-five theusand inhabitants,
with the monotonous architecture of all
France for its modern buildings, and
Gothic and other medi aival styles for
what remains of its old churches and
chateaux. Some of the old city walls
arc still left, and portions of the old
moat forming little hollows beloved of
the cabbage, ncet and cauliflower. Into
the rest of it have crowded the rear
walls of modern dwellings, or the ne
cessities of commerce have caused the
construction of streets, and business
houses have tended even more to oblit
erate all traces. The churches, of
which several retain in whole or in
part the peculiarity of the Burgundian
architecture, are numerous, and their
strange old towers ami tall, slender
spires, not unliko in form to
the old-fashioned candle extinguisher,
form a striking feature of the landscape
when seen at a distance. The church
0f Notre Dame is considered one of the
best specimens of Gothic architecture
in France. There is a tall, square facade
oi peculiar styie which iujui. i mam
odifice. aud which, for want of a better
name and the impossibility of more ac
curate classification, has to be called
Burgundian. The remains of centuries
have raised the level of the adjoining
streets, and one has to descend to reach
the nave of the church, which, in spite
of the barenncssof ornament, is at once
graceful, delicate, solid and imposing.
The light enters through some beau
tifully tinted stained windows, wliii-..
are all that could be called decoration,
though some little illustrations of the
passion of Christ in medallion form, a
foot square, arc hung about the walls.
There are also vestiges of fresco paint
ings some four hundred years old done
ly unskilled hands here and there, not
obsorvable without effort. The day
was cold when I visited the place,
which had its wiuter temperature kept
just above the point when it would con
geal the breath by scarcely perceptible
currents of warm air coining y
through gratings from suspected fur
naces somewhere in the regions below.
Over them were hovering old women,
who varied this grateful and uniiMiul
occupation by begging at the door as
often as tho thawing of their nuwlcs
enabled them to extend their benumbed
hands in supplication.
The church of St Benignc, which
has an attractive facade, incloses the
temains of its patron saint, with statues
of Philip the Bold, Vladi&las King of
Poland, and some paintings very well
preserved on the walls of the crypt.
The original structure was built in
KM, about the time of the Norman
conquest, bt like nearly all other
churches of the same epoch, or a few
hundred years later, has been so many
times reconstructed that, but little of
the first material remains. Notre
Dame, which was built three hundred
years afterwards, is exceptionally well
preserved. St. Michel, which is in the
style of the Renaissance, has an un
commonly handsome facade which has
tho merit and attractiveness of being
like no other in Europe. There are
other churches having special points of
iuterest and of great antiquity, hut
after the traveler has had his fill of th
church architecture and pictorial and
! ecclesiastical snlendor of Italy, and has
seen the sunlight drop its ladder of
beams down into the dusky in
teriors of the great cathedral in
Spain, those of France, fine enough
in their way, but seeming cold and
bare after the warmth and richness of
southern color, are naturally viewed
with less enthusiasm. But though the
churches want warmth and color, there
was no lack of it in the Burgundian
life. Their Dukes had a .southern heat
of temperament, for was not. there
something of the Provencal fire and
Ejotry in their veins? Charles the
old, or the Rash, as the French call
him. was as impetuous as a young
Guelph orGhibelline ami scarcely so
discreet, but he had the qualities that
won affection far more readily than
those of a Cold, calculating and cruel
monarch like Louis XL, of whom also
Dijon has many reminiscences. So
Dijon, lacking splendor, has interest,
not alone for the antiquarian, but for
him to whom the shadowy heroes of
other ages are creatures of romance,

MEXICAN LIFE.
raphtc Description of tae Street and la
door life of the Mexican Feasant,
The Mexican dandy is ono thing, and
the average life of the people is quite
another, but the tendency to hang col
ored banners upon the outer walls of
the national life is the same in all
classes. The Indians or peasantry wear
white cotton shirts and trousers, that
contrast with their browu skins and
straw hafci. They all carry tho serapo
or blanket that is a necessity for the
early morning and evening, and this is
always brilliant-hued. The costi'me of
the women is equally simple generally
a white waist aud skirt, with a shawl
called a reboso. Gay colors arc fre
quently affected in the petticoats and
rcbosos, and tho passion for gow-gaws
and cheap jewelry betrays a universal
feminine weakness. Both sexes wear
sandals of raw-hide, and while tho
women most frequently cover their
heads with the shawl, they aro often
hatted like the men. These people live
cheaply and also very informally in
main- ways. The climate is on their
side," as its mildness necessitates much
less in the way of food, clothing, fuel
and shelter than with you. The scale
of their life is something between tho
luxuries of 3'our civilization and the
vicissitudes of Indian experience in tho
West very far inferior to the comforts
of the old slave days of the South. The
idea of home life, as you know it, is
wanting. The independent house is
unknown to the laborers of the cities,
whose room or rooms are on the ground
floor, where there is little light and
practically no ventilation. In the sub
urbs of this city and in the country tho
Indians usually own their adobe and
mud dwellings or cabins. It is a
strange domestic life which every
street stroller can contemplate in all
its details. The common laborers use
neither chairs, tables nor beds, the sub
stitute for the latter being rolls of rush
matting; tiiesc rooms are" very full of
life, but thej- are bare of furniture; a
variety of earthen vessels hold the fam
ily food and drink, and during the
morning hours the women are univer
sally occupied in grinding out corn
on a nictate of flat stone. This i- a
laborious preliminary to the prepara
tion of the tortilla or Indian bread.'that
is eaten with frijoles or boiled brown
beans and meal boil. -d or fried -when
the latter can be afforded. A not un
palatable sauce concocted out of lard,
red pepper, onion-, ami cheese, is a
prized accompaniment. These people
are not unh:i; in their primitive and
inadequate accommodations, but they
need better things. To live, on an un
d rained dirt lloor, in an unventilated
room, above the swamp that underlies
all this city, aud amid the sharp daily
changes of even a mild climate, is to
invite the grim destroyer, lie conies
very frequently in tin form of pnuemo
nia, as might be expected. It is pleas
ant to note that improved tenements
are now being built, w Inch will bring
the laborer nearer to the comfort pos
sessed by thoe whom he serves so
faithfully. The new tenements havo
wooden floors raised several feet above
tho ground, are neat, light, and airy,
and open courts that arc paved, drained
and supplied with water.
The street life of the city is cosmo
politan, but essentially Eastern in
many of it.s features. The aguador, or
water-carrier is a more familiar
figure here than is the letter-carrier
who lilts about a Northern city, and he
is also a more essential public servant.
The aguador might have stepped out
from a canvas scene of far-away Syria.
He wears a kind of leather armor that
encircles two gnsat jars depending
from the head, one before and tin other
beeind, and is the source of the house
hold '.vvr supply. The water of
tins -!, -5 brought over the mam
moth "aq.ied'.iets into the public
fountains, and thence it must bo
obtained for domestic use. The agua
dor serves alike the justand the unjust,
and he is too bus- to be any thing but
an honest fellow, whospecdily becomes
a very accomplished and popular gossip.
The. Indian trait of feudal fidelity to
places anil the ancient customs appears
in these water-carriers, who are in love
with their labor and never dream that
they lag superfluous on the st-igo as a
mighty poor makeshift for the all-pervading
water pipe. They keep out tho
plimber, to be sure; but that lord of
the North would be a very harmless
individual in a country where Jack
Frost never intrudes in any serious
way. Beggars arc as plenty as fleas,
aud tho foreigner is made the victim of
both pests. The flea enforces his claim
with a pair of sharp nippers, and tho
mendicant would do likewise: tho former
is principally felt, and the latter is
always seen. Every corner, well nigh
each step, brings a pitiable applicant
for alms, and one speedily observes
that blindness is exceedingly common
in the rarificd air and blinding light
insomuch that extraordinary precau
tions are necessary to protect the eyes.
In going from brilliantly - lighted
theaters into the night air pleauro
seekers cover their eyes for a season so
as to make the readjustment less try
ing. Those having weakness of the
C3Tcs may well exercise great caution
in coming to Mexico, and the least
that they can do will be to forego read
ing in the cars. Mexico Cor. Spring

OLD RAILROADS.
The First American Uitilwuy Bull In the
War ISO'J.
In a paper read before the Franklin
Institute, bearing the title, "Trans
portation Facilities of the Past, and
Present," Mr. Barnet Le Van corrects
the commonly received statement that
the (7nuiito railroad, built at Quincy,
Mass., in 1827, by (Jridley Bryant, for
transporting stone for the Bunker Hill
Monument from the granite quarries of
Quincy, w:is the first railroad built in
the United Suites. On this point ho
presents interesting testimony to prove
that far from being the first, the Granite
railroad was really only the fourth in
order of precedence in the United Stites.
From the paper wo quote the following:
'Railroads were also first introduced
in Pennsylvania. In September, 1809,
the firnt experimental track in the
United States was laid out by John
Thompson (the father of John Edgar
Thompson, who w:is afterward the
president of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Courpany), civil engineer, of Delaware
County, Pa., and constructed under his
direction by Somerville, a Scotch mill
wright, for Thomas Leipcr, of Phila
delphia. It was 180 feet in length and
graded 1J inches to the yani. Thegaugo
was four feet :uid the sleepers eight
feet apart The experiment with a load
ed car was so successful that Lciper, in
the same year, caused the first practical
railroad in the United States to be con
structed for tho transportation of stono
from his quarries on Crum creek to his
landings on Ridley creek,in Delaware
County, Pa., a distance of about one
mile. It continued in use for nineteen
years. Some of the original founda
tions, consisting of rock in which holes
were dri'led and afterward plugged
with wood to receive the spikes for
holding the sleepers in place, may be
aeen to this day' Midland Industrie

Fl'UIT TltEES.
I shall speak first of apples, pears and
cherries, and 1 have been at some pains
to secure the opinions of eminent horti
culturists as tothu best selections of theso
fruits for the homo table, not for market
When thero is a surplus, howevor, there
will be no difficulty in disposing of the
fine varieties named.
The Hon. Marshall P. Wilder, tho
veteran president of the American Pomo
logical Society, writes as follows: 'Here
with is the selection I have made for
family use, but I could nut in as many
more in some of the clashes which are
1'ust as desirable, or nearby so. These
lave been made with reference to cover
ing the seasons. Apples Red Astrak
han, Porter, Gravenstein, Rhode Island
Greening. Baldwin, Roxbury Russet and
SweotBoiifjhfor baking. Pears Clapp's
Favorite (to bo gathered August 20),
Bartlett, Seckel. Sheldon, Bcurre Bose.
Beurro 'Anjou, ami Vicar of Wakefield
for baking, etc. Cherries Black Eagle,
Black Tartarian, Downer, Wiudsor,
Cumberland, and Red Jacket"
Mr. Wildcr's honored name, liko that
of the late Charles Downing, is insepar
ably linked with American fruits, and
thecountry owes these two men a debt
of gratitude which never can be paid for
their life-long and intelligent efforts to
guide the jeopie wisely m the choice
and culture of tho very best varieties.
A moment's thought will convince tho
reader that I am not giving too much
space to this matter of selection. Wo
aro now dealing with questions which
wido and varied oxoriencc caubest an
swer. Men who givo their lives to the
cultivation and observation of fnilts in
all their myriad varieties acquire a
knowledge which is almost Invaluable.
We can not afford to put out trees, to
givo them good culture, and wait for
years only to learn that all our care has
been bestowed on inferior and second
rate varieties. Life Is too brief. Wo all
feel that tho best is good enough for us,
and the best usually costs no more in
money or time than do less desirable
varieties. Therefore I seek to give on
this iuiHriant question of choice the
opinions of somo of the highest authori
ties in the land.
Mr. A. S. Fuller Is not only a well
known, horticultural author, but has al
so had tho widest experience in the cul
ture and observation of fruit Ilo'pro
faccs his opinion with the following
words: "How much and how often wo
horticulturists have been puzzled with
questions like, yours! If wo made no
progress, were always of the same mind,
and if e;i..ons never changed, then per
haps there would be little difficulty in
deciding which of the varieties of the
ilillerent kinds of fruit were really the
best But seasons, our tastes, ami even
the varieties .sometimes change, aud our
preferences ami opinions must vary ac
cordingly. Apples Early Harvest
Fall Pippins. Spitxeiiburgh, Rhode Is
land (livening. Autumn Sweet Bough,
and Tai man's Sweet. Cherries Early
Purple ('uigtie. Biggarreau of Mezef,
Black Eagle. (Wa Transparent, Gover
nor Wood, and Belle Magnilique."
The choice of Mr. E. S. Carmen, edi
tor of the liural Xi to Yorker: "Apples
Earley Harvest, Gravenstein, Jelleris,
Baldwin. Mother, Spil.cnhurgh. Pears
Seckel, Ton, Clapp's Favorite, Bart
lett, Beurro'd'Anjou, and Dana's Hovey.
Cherries - Black Tartarian, Coo's Trans
parent, Governor Wood, Mezel, Napol
eon Bigarreau."
The authorities apear to differ. And
so they would in n:gard to any locality,
but it should be remembered that Presi
dent Wilder advises for tho lattitudu of
Massachusetts, Messrs. Fuller anil Car
men for that of New Jersey. I will give
now the selection of the eminent horti
culturist, Mr. P. C. Beckcrraans, for tho
latitude of Georgia: "Cherries (this is
not a good cherry-producing region, but
I name the following as the best in
order of merit) Bultners, Governor
Wood, Belle de Choisy, Earloy Rich
mond, and May Duke. Pears (in order
of maturity) Clapp's Favorite. Sekcl,
Ducliesse, Bcurre Superfine, Loconte,
Winter Nellis, or Glout Morcoau. Apples
Earley Harvest, Red June, Carter's
Blue, Stevenson's Winter, Shockley,
Buncombe, Carolina Greening."
Ho who makes his choice from theso
selections will not meet with much dis
appointment E. P. Hoc, in Harper'
Magazine for April.
LIVK STOCK.
The man who feeds best is tho man
who makes the most money. Many
farmers think thev mako money when
they allow animals to get bono poor In
winter, but they are greatly mistaken.
The only profit over made in fattened
animals is what is put on daily over and
above the daily waste. The daily waste
is a constant integer, an unavoidable
one, and amounts to about what tho
animal will consume in winter of fairly
well cured hay if kept in comfortable
quarters. In severe weather when cattle
are kept out of doors the loss, even when
fed good hay, will often average a pound
a day, and for the four winter mouths
of severe weather this would show a loss
of 120 pounds. All this must be made
up tho next summer. If this thinning
down could be prevented tho cow or
steer would have so much to start in on
when grass conies. Why not keep tho
animal growing right along from calf
hood, or colthoou, or swinchood, or
lamhhood, as the case may be? Those
who make 11101103 out of stock do so.
Did you ever figure on this integer of
daity bodily waste in tho feeding of ani
mals? If so, you probably believe that
the only way to make money in feeding
stock is to feed fully from birth to the
butcher's block. It is the only way to
reduce daily waste to a minimum and
iiiMiro the largest profit for the food
given.
This waste is partly In keeping up
bodily heat. Another cause of waste
arises from exercise, and still another
from the fact that tho animal does not
assimilate all the food eaten. But this
latter waste the manure Is not doad
le?. If taken care of it keeps the land
in condition to raise crops again to bo
fed out The manure, therefore, is all
the farmer gets for the food given an
animal where it Is so fed as simply daily
waste. The gain in flesh represents his
profit from the grain fed. If beef is
worth five cents a pound and ho gets
five pounds of flesh to the bushel of corn,
ho receives 7. cents per bushel for his
corn. If the bushel of corn makes eight
pounds the value of tho corn fed is 40
cents. In the ono case the farmer might
come out about oven; in the other the
Crofit on each bushel of corn fed would
c 15 cents. It is a matter worth ugur-
TIIE 1IEN9 FOR FARMERS.
If a farmer keeps hens chiefly for tho
purpose of supplying his own table with
meat and eg'xa, ho will do well to raise
birds that belong to ono of tho largo
breeds. The choice will lie between tho
Brahmas, the Cochins and tho Plymouth
Hocks. There are no objections against
any of these breeds. Tho light Brahmas
have been most favorably known for
over thirty years, and for general merit
they are not surpassed by any of the
newer breeds. Tho light Brahma fowl
meets every requirement of tho farmer.
It Is a very handsome bird, and is an
ornament to tho . premises. It is a con
tented, home-loving bird, not inclined
to wandor about and get into mischief.
It is a large bird, and furnishes a fine
roast If its flesh is not quite as tender
or delicious as that of some of the
French fowls, it is at least very good. A
Brahma fowl is easily dressed, and
when plncked presents s fine appear
ance. The eggs of the Brahma are
largo and well formed. Though they
bring no more in the market than small
eggs, they aro of much greater value, as
their size and weight indicate. Brahma
hens of suitable age, if they have, warm
quarters, will lay during theentire win
ter. They aro patient sitters' and good
mothers. They are not as greatly ad
dicted to scratching and makincr havoc
in the gardens as fowls belonging to
tho smaller and moro active breeds,
Boing heavy, they never attempt to
mako long flights. They can. If it Is
desired, be kept In an ordinary farm
yard without making any additions to
the fence. They do not suffer when
kept in partial confincnent. Thoy will
thrive, gain in weight and produce eggs
when kept in a yard or building, pro
vided they aro supplied with suitable
food, water, and materials for forming
the shells of eggs.
If Brahma fowls are not tho favontcs
of breeders, the cause may be found in
the circumstance that thoy are no longer
novelties. Breeders, like nurserymen"
prefer to raise and sell now things. Thoy
can obtain higher prices for them, as
thoy are desired by amateurs, while they
have little competition. Light Brahma
fowls are now well distributed through
out the country. Birds of pure strains
or their eggs can bo obtained at com
paratively low prices. It is to the ad
vantage of farmers who havo nothing
but mongrels on their places to obtain
a supply of them. Many farmers think
that they cannot afford to keep animals
of pure blood. They acknowledge their
suporior value, but thoy havo not the
money to purchase them. Very few
farmers aro so short of means that thoy
can not raise monoy to pay for a sitting
of eggs. It takes several years to raise
a flock of improved sheep or a herd of
pedigree cattle. But a nock of fowls of
pure blood can bo secured in ono year
at the expense of a fow dollars. Theso
fowls will bo conducivo to pleasure as
well as profit It will cost no moro to
keep them than an equal number of
common fowls, whose flesh and eggs
are greatly inferior. Tho farmer in any
town who makes tho first start in keep
ing superior fowls can generally make
money in selling birds or their eggs to
the neighbors. If 0110 fanner makes a
new departuro in keeping fowls his
neighbors generally follow his oxample,
and in most cases thoy will purchase
breeding stock from "him. Eggs of
light Brahma hens obtained very early
In the season will produce chickens that
will lay eggs during tho next winter.
Few farmers who have kept superior
fowls a few years are dissatisfied with
the result or are willing afterward to
raise common barn-yard chickens.

HIS LITTLK KASl'HKUKY I'ATCII.
Thinking that his little experiment iu
propagating and cultivating a patch ot
raspberries would interest many who aro
fond of tho berry, Mr. Cooley, of Apple
ton, savs the Milwaukee Sentinel. h:is
jotted down bin experiences for their
benefit: "Having a small plat iu my
garden, a space 120 feet in length by GO
m width, I concluded to devote it to
raspberries. Having thoroughly pre
pared tho ground. I procured "good,
health' rots and .staked each end of the
ol at, so as to have rows six feet apart.
1 stretched a line from end to end of tho
first line of stakes, and commenced set
ting tho roots, planting them ono yard
apart in tho row, which gave mo about
forty plants to the row. 1 planted nine,
rows in tho whole, aggregating 3G0
plants, and by cutttug oil all the tops I
got the full strength of tho root for tho
first year's growth, which 1 consider es
sential to the full development of the
Idant After the plants got well started
mulched heavily with coarse litter to
smother out everything between the hills
and rows, thus 'rendering it an easy
matter to keep the ground clean. I
haven't plowed or cultivated tho ground
sinco the first setting. My first work
after the picking season is over is to go
through and cut out all the old bearing
wood, thus giving the young plants all
the chance possible for next year's crop.
I confine my bushes by trellising, to pre
vent prostration by storms and wind.
Mv crop last vcar marketed over 800
boxes, besides what was used In tho
family and by the pickers, or an avcrago
of 183 boxes to the row. Mv bushes
suffered but little by the seventy of hist
winter's extreme cold, which I attribute
to my cutting off the tops about Sept 1,
thus rendering them hardy enough to
winter well.
Modes of8aluttionn.
A French travcllor, says an exchange,
reports that every raco among whom no
has sojourned has its own modo of salu
tation, not excepting the great Yankee
nation. Ho informs his readers that,
however, a few polite and Europeanized
Americans may salute one another, the
characteristic national salutation is
"Hello!"
We fear ho is right The telephone is
accused of having fastened the stigma
upon us, but in truth the telephone only
adopted a word familiar to all boys ami
most men.
The Irish say on meeting, "God bless
you!" On entering a dwelling, "God
save all bore!"
The Arabs say on meeting, "A line
morning to you!"
Tho Turk says with dignified gravity,
"God grant you his blessings."
The Persian salutation is familiar to
all the world for its comic quaintness,
"May your shadow never grow less."
Tho Egyptian is a practical man. Ho
has to earn-his taxes bv toil under a
burning sun, and accordingly when ho
meets bis fellow he asks, "How do you
sweat?"
Tho reader Is probably aware that in
those low latitudes all is well with a
laborer as long as he perspires freely.
The good Chinaman loves his dinner.
"How aro you digesting?" he kindly
inquires on meeting a friend.
Tho G rooks, who aro keen men of
business, close, bargainors, ask one an
other, "IIow aro you getting on?"
Tho national salutation of Naples was
formerly, "Grow lu grace!" At present
in all parts of Italy Uiey use a phrase
equivalent to "How are youP
The Spaniard. "How aro you pass
ing it?"
Tho French, "How do you carry your
self?" The Gcnnans, "How does it goP"
The Dutelu "How do you travol?"
The Swede, "IIow can you?" mean
ing, "Are you In good vigor?"
Tho Russians, "Bo wellP'
Tho English-speaking races, m addi
tion to tho Juvenllo and telephonic
"Hello!" say, "How aro youP' and
"How do you do?"

embrace, bow and ktea, as. in other
climes, people rub noses, touch foreheads
and take off their shoes.

see men embrace and kiss each other,

Tho Italians in turn look upon our
hand-shaking as cold and ridiculous,
tho bobbing up and down of tho arm
having no meaning whatever in their
view.
The touching of tho tips of gloved
fingers, if moro graceful than nand

tho cast as professional and expression
less. '
The bow, as a mark of respect. Is a
custom used by all nations, and one
that had its origin in ancient times.
