WADATHE SHREWD ONE. Many years ajjo in the beautiful esa pire of Japan, lived a family named ToshL It consisted of a father, moth er and two sons named Hoga and Wada, who were as different as boys well could be, Hoga beins; selfish and cruel while Wada was bright witty and generous. When they were just reaching man hood the cross old father died, leaving house and lands to Hoga, giving Wada only a tiny cottage near his brother's fine estate. The mother, a is the custom oj Japan, was compelled to obey her eldest son and make her home with him. although she longed to be with Wada. Hoga did not allow her to see her youngest son often but when they did meet he would cheer her up with his witty and shrewd remarks. "Nevermind, okkasan (mother).1' he would say. 'it is better to be poor and witty than rich and stupid. I will soon find a way to get money.1' Oae day Hoga received a messago begging him to come to his brother's house at once, as there was a very marvelous thing for sale there. - Wada was watching for him and. as soon as he caw him entering the gate, ran into the kitchen, picked up a kettlo from the fire and set it on a block- of wood in the middle of the parlor. When Hoga entered the water was still hissing and steaming. Wada pointed to it and said: "Here is the most wonderful kettle in the whole world. It needs no charcoal no wood. Da Ore. simplr place it on this cedar block and it will boiL" Where did you get it?" growled Hoga, beginning at once to covet such an economical utensiL -An old man brought it this morn ing.1' said the younger, 'and offered to sell it for .OJ yea but I have no money. Can you not lend me this amount brothers I could soon make it back by exhibiting such a curios ity." "i will not lend you a rin, "said the unkind Hoga. "I wish to buy it for myself.1 Wadr.6 heart leaped with joy. but he managed to retain a miserable ex pression of countenance and cried: "Why should all good things come to you? I should become rich with this prize and now you take it from me." After many such complaints he handed his brother the kettle, took tho money and soon after started on a long pleasure trip. Hoga returned home carrying his precious kettle in ono hand and tho block of cedar in tho other. Ho called in all the neigh bors to behold his new purchase. With much ceremony he filled it with water, set it on the block, and then smilingly told tho crowd to watch it boil. Moments passed but the water remained cold as at first. The com pany began to smile and exchange glances, ana Hoga saw that he had been deceived. Perfectly infuriated, ho rushed over to Wada's house to kill him. but that young man was well out of the way. nnd did not return until he thought it prudent Somo time after tbis. when Hoga's anger had cooled, another message came, asking him to step over to his brother's house for a few momenta Ihis modest request he refused with scorn. Soon the messenger returned, bringing one small mikan (orange) on a lacquered tray and handed it to him. telling him that it was a sample from tho tree which Wada had re ceived that morning. Hoga turned it round and round and smelted It sus piciously. When at last he ventured to open it, there in tho very heart lay a tiny gold yen. Burning with envy, he rushed over to his brother's house There stood a pretty little mikan tree in a big red flower-pot and Wada was caressing the dark green leaves. Barely answering his brother's polite Ohayo!" (Good morning) Hoga grasped for tho tree, tearing off sev eral of the pretty golden balls at once Yea in each lurked that golden spot that tiny yen. -Where did you get it?" he burst out "What will you sell it for?" It is a gift of the goda " replied Wada. "I could not sell it at any price." -I think I see the gods making such presents to you. " sneered the other. '-Where did you get It?" I speak only the truth, brother." said Wada gently. "This morning at dawn when I went as usual to the temple of God Hachiman. I saw. in front of the inner shrine this heaven ly tree. . On the pot which holds it was painted: -To ray faithful ser vant Wada ToshL1 There, you can read for yourself!" Sure enough, in bright golden let ters, were the words, and the paint was not yet dry. Hoga returned home, his heart swelling with envy, jealousy and greed. That night he could not sleep. Next day. as he-sat in his garden try ing to think of some way to get the tree away from his brother. Wada entered the gate. His face was pale, his clothes all awry and he looked al most like a crazy person. When he saw Hoga he commenced weeping and beat;ng his breast Alas!" he cried, '! must lose my heavenly gift my golden tree. My creditors have alien upon me and will not wait Help rno now. brother! Lend me a thousand yen until oy next crop, when I can repay you twice over.5 - Hoga could scarcely regain his uelignt -Miserable spendthrift!" ho answer ed. ! do not lend to such as vou I , but I will buy the tres for a thousand yen." j Wada aTccled he grottiest anguish at parting with Ms tree but at last the bargain rs concluded. Never w&s such care bestowed upon n plant before. Hoga employed an other gardener solely to watch and tend It. At Wada's suggestion he evn fertilized the roots with small coin. As these disappeared every night ho was well satisfied, thinkibg that it had absorbed them. As nutumn approached Wada decided to go on another long journe". When the mikan began to ripen Hoga's ex citement was intense and he had a great festival whsn the day came to pluck them. One after one he open ed them, but no gold yen appeared and he saw that he had been tricked for the second time. ! Whea Wada returned after several months1 absence. Hoga would neither speak to him nor allow any of his family to notice him. For some time WaJa. laughed at bis brother's an per. ssasasM whea lir. Msr..a4,.aIl. (m- L - - - - ..

One day they met by accident aai he said: Okkaaa I am la real trouble this time and ;yrti iuat kelp Wbeo'shVasked biiabw she could a33Vs'thifc',6lpld. Her that the next affernQoii' about dusk she must pre tend tQ be taken very ill suddenly and ina. short while to die. Then -he would come over and bring her to life with his macrio saralsen. At first the good lady hesitated, for she did like to deceive even such a cross not ' and stingy son as Hoga, but Wada begged so hard that she at last consented. Sure enough, at dusk the next day Hoga ran, pale and terrified, into his brother's house and told him that their mother was dying. Instead of showing grief, he commenced laugh ing aad dancing and cried out: "Could anything be more fortuaate! Wait unt:l I get my samsen.N Jafeellng wretch!" exclaimed Hoga. "You have always pretended to love your mother and now you laugh and sing to hear of her death. You are no better than a Chinaman!'1 "I laugh and sing because I can re store her to life." said Wada "I have a samisen which .can call back the souls of the dead." I Liar!" cried Hoga io great anger. You have tricked metwlca beware of. the third time for I will kill you with my own hand.1' 1 would not joke on such a subject as thla'1 said Wada in a grieved tone. But coma11 1 will prove the truth of ay words. When they entered the house all the friends and relatives .were weeping. lor me o:a iaay naa just breathed her last They were much horrified to see Wada with' a samlsen in his hand, and still more so when he sat by his mother's corpso and began to play a lively tune. Soon the dead woman moved one of her bands, then her arm. Her eyes opened and she said: -Who plays the magic samlsen that calls my soul to earth.11 Every one present was filled with astonishment and joy. and the funeral was-"changed into a great banquet where no one drank so much or laughed so loud as Wada, Hoga bought the Wnlsen for five thousand yen, and Wada went for another long journey. When next a neighbor died Hoga went to his bouse, laughing nnd singing, sat on the floor by h'u head, and began to play as Wada had done Of course the dead man did not stir and all the relatives fell upon poor Hoga and beat him for showing such disrespect to the dead. Now Hoga's anger against his brother was terrible indeed. He did not speak of it but he had determined tc kill him. When at last Wada returned two men were sent in the night to bind hiss and put him in a big covered straw basket At daybreak next morning Hoga came and carried him off toward the seashore for he bad decided to drown him. Ihe sea was several miles distant and when he nearly reached it he became so ex hausted that he entered a wayside tea house for rest and rolreshment leav ing the basket by the side of the road. Before long a poor old fisherman came limping past He was crippled and sore and his eyes were so swollen that he could scarcely see. In his hand he carried a fine bunch of fi?h. Wada watched him through the cracks.. and when he was about to fall ove the basket cried out: "Be careful! Do not disturb me. 1 am curing my eye sickness. " "What's that?" said tho fisherman. "Who spoke?" "Herein the basket1' said Wada. I am curing my eyes.11 ' "My eyes are also sick." said the old man. "I pray you teach me how to cure them.11 ' 'Just untie this basket " said Wada with great politeness, 'and I will give you my place for an hour. I can promise you that at the end of that time all your sickness and troubles will be over.11 The fisherman hastened to obey. Wada tied him securely ia picked up the fish and lost no time in getting out of sight When Hoga came out and lifted the basket the old fisher man called. "Be careful! Don't dis turb me! I am curing my eye-sickness." "Yea1' said Hoga with a grim smile, 'it will soon be cured." So he took him to the top of an overhang ing rock and threw him as far ot in the water as he possibly could. ..' All the way home he laughed nnd sang with delight at getting rid of his troublesomo brother. As he entered the gate he hoard sounds of mirth and laughter from within. Hurr lng ia what was his horror at beholding Wada at the head of a large company urging them to eat more of tho fish bo had caught As Hoga staggered on the threshold his brother looked up with a bright smile and said: Brother, why did you not throw me a little further? Thon I could have seized some fish even larger than these'1 But Hoga answered not a word. Seeing that be was baffled and dis graced, be went out in tho back yard and committed 'Harakiri" by cutting his body open with a, short sword. Wada, who with his mother inher ited all of his brother's wealth, en- joj-ed a long any happy life His story being told abroad, his name be came a synonym for quick and ready wit throughout all Japan.

"TTTT - 1 ft THE LACK OF MINERAL FER TILIZERS FOR FRUIT. Oh Cause f BUsht, WMew m Bet (-reach Re Why PMarts Bwt- . ter Is Good fairm Note Hesaehol! Help. Mkieral Masai for Fralt. - 'not oae reason for increasing un certainty of the fruit crop the lack of available mineral fertilizers. Wo believe that tbis has more to do with failure of fruit to sot or to per fect than is commonly believed. Even where analysis shows that there are sufficient mineral elements in the soil they may not be easily available It Is well known that as cultivation reduces tho amount of vegetable or carbonaceous matter the mineral' plant food locks itself up. aad gets out of the reach of crops. It no .doubt does the same to tree roots as welL Trees need more mineral matter to protect fruit than most farm crops do to make their growth. Hence it often happens that grain and grass can be' grown on land when If planted to fruit the crop Is nearly always a failure. Deficiency of minerals is very possi bly also one cause of bl:ght mildew and rot with which fruit is affected more than it used to he. When the very early season is wet the effect is to dissolve some of the latent mineral plant food. In such cases the fruit sets well and if the after season be favorable it per.'ects a crop. This year in many places April was unus ually dry. Fruit buds blossomed jn such places because their germs were started the previous falL But after .blossoming there was not mineral plant food enough in reach of the tree roots to cause the fruit to set Last we believe to be the true explanation of' fruit failures in some sections. When the country was new and the soil full of vegetable matter, says the American Cultivator, the remains of agos of decaying vegetatioa it had In abundance the materials for produc tion of both wood and fruit The soil was always kept moist It is not strange that always supplied with all they needed, trees bore early and abundant crops As the vegetable matter bagan to decrease, the use of stable manures was resorted to. These were too largely nitrogenous, causing excessive leaf and wood growth. In the decay of vegetable mold compara tively little nitrogen was given off. so this useless growth was not unduly st'mulated. The light rains that usually occur in the summer do not wet down to the roots of trees. If the ground has not been thoroughly soaked in winter and spring the roots suffer. They may sap enough 10 maintain moderate wood growth, but there are not enough mineral elements in what the roots get from the soil to make a crop of fruit. These frequent light rains, none of them enough to wet down and do any gooJ. give the impression, however, that the season is a very wet one. By keeping leaves and blossoms constantly wet these rains furnish the best conditions for blights and fungus diseases to start and spread. Hence has 00 mo the popular belief that a wet season is bad for fruit . Jf the tree has been enfeebled by nutrition it may bo more liable to attacks of disease, just as animals who are en feebled from any causo aro known to bo. What is tho remedy for this condi tion of things. It is not to merely apply more mineral fertilizers. Thnro nro on most orchard lands enough mineral elements if they wcro only available. Owing to tho deficiency of moisture in the soul they are not available. It is tbis which has caused much disappointment to those who bavo appliod phosphate potash and other minerals without any good effect. The manures bare ut once reverted to insoluble forms and have done no good. What is more needed is to deepen tho soil and increase its absorptive power as much as possible More water is needed. Subtoiling helps the soil to hold more water. Undordraining is not objectionable, but rather helpful Stagnant water does no good. The well - drained, heavy soil is thereby enabled to hold more moisture.- without having it be come stagnant and injurious. Keep ing the soil near tho surface always cultivated is another good thing. It helps retain the mo'sturo in the soil until it is taken up by the roots. If after this fruit trees do not bear, then apply mineral together with carbon aceous manures, so that the latter in fermenting may give off carbonic acid gaa and thus keep the mineral plant food in condition for use by the roots. French Koatl. The excellence of French roads is well known. The United States consul at Bordeaux describes how they are made. The materials are brought from the nearest quarries and placed at either side of the route surveyed. In order that the full amount contracted for may be de livered the stone must be heaped in angular piles of prismatic shape and fixed dimensions. The heaps, placed at a given distance from one another, are afterward visited by 'an official inspector, and must in all instances fit exactly beneath a skeleton frame carried by him. The material Is Usually marble, flint stone or gravel and whatever is used must be of the best quality and cleansed from -all foreign substances. The stone must be broken so that each piece may pass through a ring 21 inches in diameter. It is then spread evenly over the road, tho interstices being carefully tilled in w'th small pieces, so that the whole is smooth and free from abrupt eminences and depression. A steam roller then crushes and further evens the whole, after which a super ficial layer, of clay and earth completes the work. Boads are classed as national roads, which aro the main arteries of the system con necting most distant parts of the country, and are constructed and maintained by the government; de partment roads, which connect differ ent points of the sumo department or of two adjoining departments, and are constructed and maintained by the department; highways nnd pub lic roads, which are the property of the commune through which they run. but are in practice made and re paired by the department from taxes levied on the commune supplemented. by a department subsidy; cross roada which are maintained by sums de rived from tho ordinary revenue of the commune occasionally supple mented by additional taxatioa and country roads, which are kept in or der by the commune, except they are injured .by unusual traffic, when nn indemnity may be claimed by the communal administration. For the purpose of maintaining the common roads, the inhabitants living in the district are obliged to work three dava in nach vasp nr mv an nmoiint 1-, - ,, . - , j equivalent to the compensation of the laaorer Tor three days. The consul it Havre says that French pavements increase ia czoaU ' ' 1 - "-" "1 ea with if, ta Franc, ke saya all roas have perpetual attention. If from weight rain or other causes, a hollow, rut or sink is formed, 'it irre paired at oace. Where the spaco to be repaired is of limited area, the rolling of the new coating is left to the wldo tires of the heavy carta but in the case of extended areas, a steam roller is brought into use. Every carrying and market cart in Franco is a roadmaker instead of a rutmaker. for it has tires usually from four inches to six inches in width. Way Daatsb Batter 1 Good. la the dairy section of tho Path and West of England societies show, re ported In our late exchanges, we find tho following capital remarks: j"Prof. Carroll delivered a'very inter esting lecture on Danish dairies. Answering the question aa to why (hey had progressed so greatly of late the pro'essor gave as one reason that the Danish government had ap pointed a gentleman in this country to keep the farmers acquainted withtho slate of the butter market They were thus able to sell their butter in the best markets and at the best prices. He suggested that such an official should be appointed by the British government also. There could be no doubt that the old rule-of-thumb system of farming was dying out The countries in which the agricul tural industry most flourished were countries in which they laid them selves out to best apply science. Ha Had often wondered why this country, with all Its wealth, its intelligence, its -business enterprise, had allowed Denmark to take up the position she had taken in dairy industry in this country. He asked them to carry their minds back over a quarter of a century, and they would find that farmers in this country laid them selves out only to make butter in the summer. They made their butter so that it should be kept for future con sumption and for export to other parts of the world. The Danes had altered that and had gone in for winter butter-making by growing crops good for winter feeding, such .as lucerne. Cocoa cake agaia was one of tho best foods for cattle he had come across." Wheat Following- Corn. One of tho most -profitable crops of wheat I eve.r raised, says a recent writer, was on land that had been in cqrn. The corn was cut off closo to the ground and hnulod off and shocked up in a Idt The cultivation had been continued late and the soil was clean. After the corn was taken off a thor ough burrowing was given and tho wheat sown with tho drill. This left the surface of tho soil in a good con dition. The condition and character of the soil will make a difference. In a dry season the soil must be worked to a sufficient depth to secure sufficient moisture to induco a good germina tion of tho seeJ. while with tho same soil in a favorable season a shallower working of the soil would give better results. Tho deeper and more thoroughly tho soil is workel in the fall, the more liable it is to freezo deep in the winter, and while it is the freezing up and thawing that in many seasons injures the wheat the rao3t it is quite an item to avoid this as much as possible To make a rule best to follow under all conditions is impos sible, for with a large portion of farm work. the season and 8oil must bo considered, and what will bo best at ono time will fail at others; hence the farmer must rely to a considerable ex tent upon his judgment as to tho best preparations to bo . given under the conditions ho is working, rnthor than following sorao one else working un der entirely different circumstances Coleman's Rural World. Farm Not:-. The best horse for the farmer is the one that will do the most work and sell for tho mo3t money. Full 'eeding is only profitable feed ing. This applies to the land as well as to the stock on the farm. In planning out tho farm it will be a good plan to havo at least ono pas ture convenient to tho stables. Different markets demand compe tition and improved machinery havo made an immenso change in farming methods. Havo convenient gates. It is a ser ious loss of timo to bo obliged to lay down fences in going from ono field to another. A scrap book will bo found very convenient to paste timely notes, re ceipts and other Hums of interact worth saving. While the cleanly appearanco of the farm is not always an unfailing indication of its fertility, yet a buyer will nearly always bo willing to pay a better price for ono in a good, cleanly condition. Save all the straw in as good a condition as possible what cannot be used for feed can always be used to a good advantage for bedding during tho winter. Household Helps Tood that passes the bowels pleas antly and gives up its nourishment freely is tho kind that gives the best results in feeding stock. A glass of pnro cream or a glass of fresh milk with a salt cracker or a crust of frash bread is a good lunch between meals for a hungry conval escent itimments and ointments should al ways be applied to the patient with the haml; if applied with cotton or a cloth, the good effect obtained from the friction would bo lost Ice cream, provided it be male of pure cream, is often allowed and prescribed by physicians in some eases where the cooling, nnd at tho same time nourishing, food is neodod. A breai poultice is made of bread crumbs, with boiling water poured over thorn and set asido to steep for a few moments. Squeeze lightly through a strainer and spread. Apply uncov ered every hour. It is a good plan to make a rule that soiled clothes aro never to be allowed to accumulate in tha closet Another good rule is 10 keep the window-sills clean, and not pile things all over them. Is it necessary to steam the throat and lungs of a sick person? Hot coals put into a vessel of water in the patient's lap will do it, but a kettle on the stovo with a connecting pipe reaching to the bedside is even bet- j tor. He can inhale much or little' steam at will and without being hur ried. Tea should never be boiled.

There is more money invested in fruit than most people supposeT The census took pains to determine how much money is invested in fruit nnd the bulletins already published give some interesting, and almost startling information. They show that ia 1889 the vineyard interests covered 401.000 acres of land and produced 572,000 tons of grapes. This interest repre sented an investment of. $155. 000. 000. The vines now growing are expected to nroduce, within threo years, from a 000. 000 to 10.000.000 boxes of rais ins. At present the consumption of the entire country is only 7,500,000 boxes. Peach trees cover 507.000 acres and the value of the crop is $76,000,000. In 1887 upward of 90, 000. 000 was in vested in peach growing. Mr. Mortimer Whitehead, for so long master of the National Grange, lias charge of that branch of the cen sus work that deals with fruit grow ing, and he states that the entire capital invested in horticultural pur suits in this country exceeds a thou sand million dollars.

The 'tirri Itorer. When currants begin to wither, turn yellow, and drop off the bush, the cause can be attributed to the borer. This is the first visible indication of the injury which the grower see?. The parent insect of the borer eats its way through the bark of tbe bush and pen etrates, by means of the pith of tbe stems, through the wholo plant The eggs are deposited in the plant and after a while they are hatched and cause the same injury as their parents to the currant bush. When the indi cations of the presence of the borer is made known the insect has been a res ident of the plant for sorao time. There is only one sure way of get ting rid of this devastating insect Carefully examine the currant bush, and when the presence of the borer is detected cut out and burn tbe infected parts. If it is necessary, do not hesi tate to destroy a whole bush, for if an infected bush is ieft the insects will radiate from it and affect the whole patch.
