NEVER TELL TOO MuCH.-Do not tell the
learner too much about subject and puzzle
him with many things before he has under
stood the first principles; do not aim at being
wonderfully profound in your first explanation
bnt reserve your proinndity for subsequent
stages. Even extreme accuracy may he dis
pcnscd with at first; it is not wise to puzzle
the learner with little nicctics and rctinemcnts
when he is conclusivcly grasping at anything
like an approximate idea OF the matter in hand
You will not mislcad him by using or permit
ting an expression which is not quite techni
cally accurate /; the mistake will not fix itsc
upon his mind for he is not giving his atten.
ton to that little point in which the inaccuracy
lies; he is not yet able to appreciate nice dis
tnction and petty exceptions. The first thing
is to give him a rough general idea of The sub
jet; and when he has mastered that, you may
proceed to enlarge, refine. and dive deep.
There are some teachers who cannot hold theii
peace when occasion requires, but seem impcl
led by their nature to tell all they know upor
every subject they touch upon; the consc
qnence is that the learner, being unable to dis
crminate between the essential aud the non-cs
sential is overwhelmed with the mass of lcarn
ing, and instead Of having clear idea of tho
main points. has an indistinct recollection O.
many things.

Garden Work for ,E,,ne,

BUNCH BEANs.-Early this month plant
bunch beans for the main crop-make the
drills from foot to eighteen inches apart
and from two to two and ahaIf inches deep
any good light soil will grow this crop.
PEAs.-Drilin u few rows of marrowfat
peas every ten days for successon-as the
season advances select that part of the gar
den which Is least exposed to the direct rays
Of the sun.
SETTING OUT CABBAGE PLAYrs.-Cabbagc
plants for the main crop may now he trans
planted. The ground should be very rich
too rich it cannot bc-and those manlrcs
that abound in nitrogen are to be preferred.
The rows should be two feet apart and the
plants eighteen inches apart in the rows
select moist cloudy day for transpl tnting
and water freely of an evening during dry
weather. Ammouiatcd water-that is to say
the black water Of the manure heap diluted
with pure watcr--0r else IL few pounds Of
Peruvian Guano put into a cask or hogshcad
and water poured over it, will he found to be
of great service in invigoratng vines and
cabbagcS.
ToMAToEs.-The various methods now
practiSed for Keeping tomatoes throughout
:hc winter with their flavor unimpaircd, rem
dcrS more extended cultivation Of this deli
cious and healthy vegetable in every way
desirable. We therefore suggest that larger
space Of Ground should be appropriated to
its growth than has been the custom hereto
fore. The plants which have been already
raise in a hot-bed or in warm border, may
still be set out, but the work should be done
on a moist day, and not later than the first
week in the month. The ground should be
rich or manure should be put freely into
every hill. The best distance for the vines
is three feet apart each way, and the cult
walton is precisely the same as that prescribed
FOR the corn, with one cXception--watcr dur
ing dry season is indispensable.

Agricultural.
Farm Work for lame.

CUTTING GRASSES AND CLOVER FOR HAY.
All the grIsses--and the rule holds equally
good with clover also-should be cut whilst
IN blossom. The exhaustion of the soil is
Tess, and the quality Of the hay is not injured
Cut the clover then when about one third of
inc headS nave turned brown, and the grasses
when the blossom appears about to fall.
Sailing SrocK.-A full supply of salt to
stock during the summer months is quite as
necessary as in winter. Rock salt, or n mix.
ture of oyster-shell lime, ashes and salt.
should be always accessible to all kinds of
stock upon a farm. For sheep, tar the bot
tom of a trough and sprinkle salt freely over
The tar-rcpcat this frequently.
BrcKWuEAT.--A couple of acres of buck
wheat, whether for sale or for home con-
sumption, may be judlciously put in during
this month. Top-dress the land we'll with
either of the following compounds .
10 bushels of finely crushed bones. 10
bushels OF ashes, mix and spread-or else
apply go lbs. per acres of manipulated
guanO, l buShel of plaster
We advise the manipulated in preference
to The clear Peruvian, because whilst it has
sn1hciency of ammonia, to act as a stimu-
liant, 1t contains from fly to fftv-ive per
cent of the phosphates, whose lcrtilizng
properties are more permanent, and which
are NOT ohy essential to the vigorous growth
OF all the cereals and many of the grasses,
but are usually among the first constituents
OF which soil is exhausted.
Quantity Of Seed per .Acre.-Sow broadcast
at the rate of three pecks per acre.
Seeding 10 Grass.--lf the soil is in tolcrablv
fair condition after the buckwheat has been
| soWn-and If it be desirable to use It to i'm
prove the land-the buckwheat NAV be
turned under while in blossom, and clover
and timothy, or orchard grass, sown at the
fall seeding Of wheat.
WET LANDs.-June will be found a good
season for draining wet lands. The labor is
not SO severe as during the hot months of
July and August, nor S the exposure to the
ehects OF malaria SO great.-RurQi Register.

A MURDERER CONVICTED nv TIE MrCRO-
sCopE.-The microscope is daily becoming a
more important aid to legal investigation
An illustration of this occurred not long ago
in which murder was brought home to the
criminal by means of this instrument. Much
crcumstantial evidence had been adduced
against him, among which was the fact, that
knife in his possession was smeared with
blood. which had dried both on the blade and
handle. The prisoner strove to turn aside
the force of the circumstances by asserting
that he had cut some raw beef with the knife,
and had omitted to wipe it.
The knife was submitted to eminent pro-
fessors of microscopy. who Immediately dis
covered the following facts.
|. The stain was certainly blood.
2. 1t was not the blood Of piece ofGead
flesh, but that Of living body !; for it had
coagulated where it was found.
3. 1t was not the blood of an OK, sheep or
hog.
4. Tt was human blood Besides these
facts, however. other important ones were
evealcd by the Same mode Of investigation.
S. Among the blood was found vegetable
fibrcs.
6. These were found to be cotton ibres-
agreeing with the murdered mans shirt and
neckcrrhief.
I. There were present also numerous
tesselated epi.helal cells.
In order to understand the meaning and
the bearing Of this last fact. | must explain
that the whole OF the internal surface Of the
body is lined with delicate membrane IA
continuation of the external SIX in,) which
discharges mucus, and is hence termed mucous
membrane. Now, this is composed of loose
cells, which very easily separate, called
epithelial cells they are in fact constantly
in process of being detached lin which
state they constitute the mucus,) and OIL
being replaced from the tissues beneath. -
These cpthelial scales are undscernble by the
unaided eye. differ in appearance and arrange
ment in different parts Of the body. Thus
those that line the gulet and the lower part
of the throat are tesseated, or resemble the
stones of pavement; those that cover
the root of the tongue are arranged in cylinders
or tall cones. ard are known as columnar
while those that line some Of the vlscera of
the abdomen carry little waving hairs Cecilia
at their tips. and are known as ciliated
epithelium.
The result Of the investigation left no doubt
remaining that with that knife the throat o.
! a living human being, which throat had Lcer
protected by some cotton fabric, had beer
cut. The accumulation Of evidence was fata
to the prisoner, who without the microscopic
testimony might have escaped.
| Our readers will remember that the micro
scope formed an important link in the chair
of evidence convicting Prof Webster Of the
murder Of DR.. Parkman, in Boston. Prof
| Webster asserted tina. the blood found in his
laboratory was bullock i blood. which he har
been using in his experiments, but the micro
scope revealed the globulcs like those O
| human blood.

An UNExAMPLED RAILROAD FEAr.-Mr.
Taughlin foreman Of the machine shops of the
Michigan Central Railroad accomplished a
feat at Michigan city with the train carrying
delegates to the Chicago Convention, which is
well deserving of mention. AT Michigan city
it is necessary to change engines, and in
order not to lose time the train was run up
the track at fifteen miles an hour, the engine
then being uncourlcd and ran at faster
speed on to sideing the switch was replaced
in time. and the cars dashed along up the
main line TO the engine waiting to take it to
Chicago. Moving at nearly the same speed
as the cars, it was coupled to the train. and
plunged along with its load. Uncouplirg and
switching locomotive, and coupling on an,
other at fifteen miles AN hour, is certainly a
very remarkable engineering accom- plishment
