Value Of a File Of Papers.

A New York correspondent of the Roch-
ester Democrat says on this subject:
"a complete file of the London Times Is
quoted at e3, 600 sterling, and probably
would bring double that price if it were de-
manded. This is a small sum compared
with American prices. A complete file of
any important journal bears a value which
is hardly to be computed in money. Thirty
three years ago the Herald started. Had
any one laid by few copies of each issue,
he would have had rich reward. A COM
plete file of that paper would cost with in
terest at a compound rate $500. 1t would
now readily bring $4,000. The sum OF
50, 500 was recently voted by the Common
Council of this city for the purpose Of pur-
chasing set which commenced with 1842,
and which of course was deficient the first
seven volumes. The librarian of the City
Hall informed me that they were frequent
Iy consulted, and also said that they could
be sold at large advance. The only COM
plete file of the Herald of which have any
knowledge are those in Benefits hands,
and these are kept from the public eye. He
is not willing to expose the character fhis
paper. Another complete file was in the
hands of the paper merchants, Persee x
Brooks, who supplied him with material,
but this was lost when their warehouse was
burned several years ago. There are state
ments in the early issues of the Herald
which can throw light upon important
questions now about to be brought into Oul
courts. Lawyers have gone to the Herald
establishment and solicited the privilege Of
a reference, but the reply is unchanged II
character. OAe man foolishly spoke o
legal compulsion, and was politely told tC
try it. The only way for those who wisl
to possess such archives is to subscribe fol
the papers. and then to keep the file un
bro EN- until time gives it value"

lk Marrers Trihnte TO Dickens

Among all the eulogiums which hayea
peared ON the character of Charles Dick
ems, nothing has been written with more
tender feeling or appropriateness than the
following from Hearth and Home:
The critics who ventured speech amid
the plaudits that greeted him told us he
dealt in earicature and exaggerations. But
what charming exaggerations they were, to
be sure Who will prune them away,
and leave us better and oheerier stories?
Like all mon of genius, he has been a law
to himself, which, if it has offended
against the canons of criticism, has
been a law of love for the race-a
law of sympathy with the poor and
the suffering-a law of protest
against oppression of whatever shape.
That surely cannot be harmful caricature
which makes us more kindly toward our
felloTsEmore honest and earnest in our
charities. We laugh at criticism when
Sam Weller provokes MS to q hearty roar;
our tears dissolve it when Bob Cratchit
gathers Tiny Tim in his arms, and says
with smothered, broken voice: 'tMy little,
little child r.
Well, we shall never listen again to the
man who gave such living and tender in
terpretations to those scenes of pathos;
Charles Dickens is dead s-
Toll on, bells of Rochester Let your
sad requiem flow out over the Green Kent
ish meadows, where he walked; over the
strip of Thames where the ships lay, that
he looked on from his study window, and
over sea, and over all the habitable world
the great master of English fiction is dead!
But from Rochester towers, and from
hundreds of other towers, merry "chimes'
will ring out again on next Christmas day
and on many succeeding Christmas day
chimes that will owe their joyous sound to
the hand now palsied forever. Bob Cratchit,
and Tiny Tim, and Trotty, and Meg, and
Mrs. PeerybiDgle, and all the rest, shall
rally by thousands of hearths and homes
to Keep the memory OF the master green
and to renew their tender lessons OF char
ity and that winsome cheer which have
given to so many of us a freer and more
elastic step, on the march toward the gates
where we must all go in.

The Prosecutions AGAINST CHRISTIANS
AND IMAGE WORsmPERs IN JAPAN.-The
late pers, ortiOns against native Christians
in Japan seems not to have been directed
against tlat faith alone, but against Buddh-
ism also, or In other words, against image
worship In general. The Japanese are
worshipers of nature, no imagee are to be
found IN temple of what may be called an
established religion. Buddhists are as
much dissenters from the State religion as
are the Christians. Buddhists and Chris
tians alike have images in their temples of
worship, and the iconoclastic zeal of the
orthodox faith, as by law established, can
not break the mummeries of image worship,
whether of Indian or European origin. A
remarkable evidence of their determination
to utterly abolish idols is shown by an icon.
elastic edict, which dooms to destruction
even the great idol Of the empire, eollos

what Know Of Farming.

Turnips should never be pulled; it in
lures them. 1t is much better to send .
boy up and let him shake the tree.
The guano is fine bird, but great care
is necessary IN rearing it. 1t should not
be imported earlier than June or later than
September. In the winter it should be
kept in a warm place, where it can hatch
out ITS young.
1t is evident that we are to have back
ward season for grain. Therefore it will
be well for the farmer to begin setting out
his cornstalks and planting his buckwheat
cakes in July instead of August.
Concerning the pumpkin--this berry is q
favorite with the natives of the interior OF
New England, vino prefer it to the goose
berry for making fruit cake, and who like
wise give it the preference over the rasp-
berry for feeding cows as being more fll-
ing and fully as satisfying. The pumpkin
is the only esculent of the orange family
that will thrive in the north, except the
gourd and one or two varieties OF the
squash. But the custom of planting it in
the front yard with the shrubbery is fast
going out of vogue, for it is now generally
conceds d that the pumpkin, as shade
tree, Is faiIure.-MdrE TiOdin.

The Mo,nmotb Cave

The caves are susceptible of being very
much improved by few touches of art.
Gas for example, might be introduced that
would exhibit the passages, arches, cham
bers and rivers to great advantage. 1t
would be worth a trip to see the Star Cham
Der illuminated with gas.
People who have not experienced it are
incredulous when told that a journey of
twelve or eighteen miles may be made in
the cave without fatigue. This, however,
is fact. Ladies who could not convent
emily walk six squares in Cincinnati, made
twelve miles in the Mammoth Cave inside
of four hours, and clme out about as fresh
as they went in. The footways, too, are
very far from being as smooth as the
boulder payemenis in our streets. This
advantage is attributable to the atmosphere,
which is pure and bracing. The atmos-
phere OF the cave will not decompose meats
or. vegetable matter.
The proprietors of the hotel have meat
vaults in the cave, where meats are pre-
served for weeks perfectly sweet and fresh.
The wooden pipes made in making salt
peter in 1912 are still to be seen in the cave,
as sound as the day they were put in. Some
one suggested that the cave would make
excellent lager beer vaults. If it were in
this neighborhood, it would doubtless be
made available for that purpose, and in hot
weather it would be pleasant place. in
which to drink the beverage. The tenn
/ perature, winter and summer, stands at 5e
degrees.
A very small portion of the caves only
have been explored, and it is supposed
they extend fifty square miles. Those who
own the Mammoth Cave are very mucf
afraid that an outlet may be. found on the
farm of some other person, and therefore
no survey has been made, nor are visitor
permitted to consul.a compassin following
the guide.

How THEY ACT AT EUROPEAN BALIs.-On
Saturday night the Ministre de la Guerre
gave grand ball; there were stars and or
ders, and diamonds, and jewels of all
kinds, and the toilets were most brilliant
before the ladies went into action; but
alasi five minutes after they had got on
the floor, the ground was covered with
shreds and patches, and lace and blonde
and tulle lay about in little heaps. Mad
anne Olivier was there, with her Gordon
of Maria Louisa; but she still wors her
high-necked dress, and really the con
trast of the broad ribbon and the book
muslin was ridiculous, and the poor little
woman-sbe is pretty, but stoops, and is
insignifcant-loo i'll at her ease. Emile
would not allow her to put on the fawn-
colored satin, and did not wear his star;
but neither of them can stand the pressure
long, for there is no weapon so deadly to a
Frenchman as ridicule, and the fashionable
world keeps an unfailing stock on hand, al
ways ready for use. Monday the Empress
gave a ball, and as there was no hall in the
Tuileries large enough to accommodate all
the guests at supper, temporary refresh
ment room was erected in the private gar
dens of the palace for the accommodation
of the two thousand persons who were
hidden to the ball. To describe
this would be impossible. The crowd,
as may be imagined, was terrible
the atmosphere was about that of Sierra
Leone, and nobody could dance, first from
want OF room, secondly, because of the
plunging of the French military men, anC

to be provided against: : One, the ineapa-
city of the schools; and the other, the ina
bility of the majority of children to avail
themselves of the facilities already offered

edy these evils, it is proposed to have two
separate and distinct school sessions each
day, of three hours each, one set of child
