caudlesticks and artificial flowers. On
The wall above was a Chinese portrait,

two gaudy Chinese lanterns. From that

Indian Corn.

A French farmer has succeeded in
giving TO Maize or Indian Corn any color
he chooses, by The following plan: Hav.
ing received from China a specimen OF
maize of a pearl white color, the grains
of which were very small but very beau.
ulul, he was DESTROYS to obtain the same
grain but Of other %colors. For this pur.
pose, he planted by the side of some of
them some American maize of a red COL
or. He made a similar experimen. with
the maize Of Tusavo-o. the grain of
which is as white as Carolina rice, and
he thus obtained a crop, the ears of which
were about~l4 inches in length. and the
grains Of a blue color. Another time he
planted some maize of the color Of am
Der among some of The black maize Of
Syria. The ears attained a length of
% inches, and the grain was Of differ.
en-, colors. The yellow maize, on being
planted near some of the brown maize
of Central America, produced some of a
dark brown color, which r;pens eight
days sooner than the other sorts. This
farmer now possesses l53 different vari.
cites of maize, and his object in contin-
uing his experiments is not only to change
the color at will, but also TO obtain vari-
cites which will npen earlier. as well as
larger and longer ears, and thus increase
the produce.

driver neither irowRs nor smiles. He
shares not their emotions. He sis still,
waiting for The cob Of their feelings and
the exerlions OF the two horse keepers.
These two, each of whom could easily
lift one Of his charges off the ground,
hold tbs wheels of the carriage. on either
side, until the four little Wings determine

his companions along with him. The
horsekeepers then leave the spokes OF
the wheels, which they have been hold

the side of their charges, giving veut 10
loud vociferations, something between a
yell, a shout, a chuckle, and a gurgle,-
The coachman catches up the sound,
shakes the reins, plies the whip, and 10
few moments the travellers are of, at a
wild gaIlop, up hill and down dale, which
relaxes not, until the carriage arrives un-
der The shade Of the next post station.

The interior of Java is very noun

volcano and stately mountain, Salak,
with its five peaks, is Builenzorg. the

this charming town, the cool air from

Of summer is over, say in September

One Goa. laid in autumn is equal to two

and oils holds il much longer than when
spread in hot weather. Paint laid on in
fall weather is more lasting than when
put on in the spring because the sub
stance becomes hardened through the
win:er without exposir to the intense
heat OF July and August. and is therefore
much less likely to suffer from the effects
Of the ensuing summer. Whenever
