WOODLAND" JEwFLRY.
This is the name given to an entirely new
kind of ornament which will undoubtedly have
some success. They consist Of sets, includ-
ing breatspin, earrings and sleeve buttons, or
breastpin and earrings alone, made Of wood in
the form of leaves, flowers, buds, and small
sprays, most admirably painted in natural COL
ors. Ivy leaves upon which a lady bug has
settled balanced upon stem; acorns, pansies,
fuschias and the like are all most faithfully
represented, but the leaf design, grained IN
the darker and lighter shades with exquisite
fidelity, appears to me the prettiest. There is
no weight of any consequence to these orna-
ments, so they would not be Objectionable on
that account. They are not costly and would
not be suitable in the place of diamonds, but
they are appropriate and seasonable for coun-
try wear, pretty with white dresses and charm
ing for young girls, or for change from other
and richer styles. The price is only from
three to six or eight dollars per set, and GER
tainly their simple shape and artistic beauty
makes them worth infinitely more than the
sham gold and glass stones 30 often worn.

LONDON, July 20--It may be Of importance to your
faners to know something about Agriculture IN En-

great care bestowed in the cultivation of the soil
YOn have always urged our farmers 10 the thorough
preparation of the soil for the seed and think with
toerable success. Still we are much less pains
taking than the English in this respect. Here each
furrow must not only be plowed to the proper width
and depth, but it must be exactly straight Next
comes the clod-ctusher. reducing all Jumps After
this a revolving series Of pcks"I should call them
which again loosen the SOIL This followed By the
sultiyatof and drag, TIE large fell lboks like
a gsrden-bed 1t woald be poor drill indeed that
would not properly deposit the seed in soil thus pre-
pared Thorough manurng, of course, has been
attended TO.
Again, what would strike us with interest is the
fact that 10 waste land is allowed. Every inch is
cultivated, To show to our farmers the value here
put upon land it may DO stated that even within the
hedges that separate the numerous railroads from
the farms is cultivated from the hedge close TO the
TRACK haye seen frequent patches containing NOT
more than 10 o. IL square yards Of ground spdded
and sown to wheat. In fact in this country no land
