lunar Influence on Vegetation.

According to North Carolina cor
respondent, the influence of the moon
on vegetation may be determined by
trying the following experiment:
Take any given quantity of common
peas, and divide the same into four
parts, keeping them separate. Then,
on any ground ut all fit for vegetation,
when the season approaches, SOW the
contents of the first parcel on the first
or second day of the new moon; the
second parcel SOW near the same spot
on the first or second day of the second
quarter; the third parcel SOW on the
second or third day before the full
moon; and lastly, SOW the fourth par
Gel on the second or third day before
the moon is out Now the first parcel,
sown under the new moon, will grow
very fast, blossom most beautifully,
but will not bear much fruit the sec
ond will blossom and bear very little {;
the third parcel will not only blossom
beautifully, but will bear fruit in
abundance; and the fourth and last
parcel will scarcely rise from the
ground. Likewise all fruit trees set at
the new moon blossom, but three days
before the full moon, bear abundantly.
In pruning trees, the same effect takes
place, for tree pruned at the new
moon will shoot forth branches, but
will prove unproductive, but if pruned
at the full, it will bear abundantly.

Summer Sports.

With the coming summer we are to
have revival of yachting as well as of
the national game. Not satisfied with
the laurels won in beating the "Daunt-
less " across the Atlantic, the amiable
and persevering Mr.. Asbury is building
new vessel, with which he expects to
recover the Queens cup, and the less
important trophies gained by Ameri-
can craft in the sailing contests of last
year. Our own yachtmen are not idle,
and new vessels are now being built
with an eye single to speed, 80 that the
coming British candidate for national
honors will be met with all the latest
improvements in fast sailing that can
be devised by practical American sea
men and shipbuilders. These interna-
tional aquatic trials of speed are not
only q manly and he althy pastime, but
tend to the improvement of marine
architecture and skillful seamanship.

How Women's Rights Operate in Wy,
Oming.
From the Laramie Sentinel.

We don't make it boast, but merely
state as fact-which, probably, every
member of the Legislature here would
admit-that it was due entirely to the
course pursued by this paper, and the
individual exertions of its editor, that
the Woman Suffrage bill was passed in
this Territory We do not know of an
individual in our city now who will not
cheerfully acknowledge that the expert
ment has proveda success. We do not
know of O single man who would say he
wished the election privilege taken away
from the ladies of our Territory. All the
nightmare visions conjured up by fe-
verish imaginations about "women
unsexing themselves" neglecting their
domestic duties, and falling from their
native modesty and purity, have van
ished from our minds. No such results
have ever been apparent in the slight
est degree. They were predicated upon
hypothesis that mans legal enactments
were capable of perverting this order
of nature, and disarranging and de-
feating the plans and purposes of the
Almighty. Ten years from now We
shall look back and smile at our folly
in ever having opposed measure of
justice, and fraught with so much ben

Truth In Opera.

One night when Carlotta Patti was In
Brooklyn she sang with Ferranti. Just
as the buffo singer was leading her out
the door to the platform some one In
the room behind him cried out that his
coat had burst at the seam of the back.
It was too late to recede, for the audi
ence had seen him, and the two singers
advanced to the footlights. But the
knowledge of his mishap took all the
humor out of Ferranti, and the duet
(Which was sung in Italian) was SO
dolefully devoid of the usual humor
that Patti noticed it before they were
half through, and dropping the text of
the song, she fitted the following words
to it in Italian:
"What is the matter with you to-
night2 l don't understand your ner-
vousness. Nobody laughs at you"
Whereupon Ferranti, in mellifuous
baritone and equally mellifluousItalian,
responded;
"By the virgin, I have bursted my
coat. Everybody will laugh when am
going off.
At this unexpected interchange of
personal feelings, Max Maretzek and
his orchestra began to laugh imme-
diately Then the people in the front
seats, seeing the orchestra and the ar
fists laughing, joined themselves, and
the merriment presently broke out in
applauses all over the house.
"Ah,n said one of the Brooklyn pa
pers, "there is always something ma

The Marquis de Vallon tried, after
the battle of Orleans, to revive the
order of Jehu, secret society, formed
during the occupation of France by the
allied armies, by Frenchmen who had
sworn to kill as many Cossacks rs pos
sible. This time the victims of the
Jehus were to be the Prussian Uhlans.
But the first raid which Vallon and his
Jehus made upon village occupied by
thirty Uhlans, proved disasterous to
them and their order. The Uhlans
had been warned of the approach OF
the enemy, and suddenly surrounded
Vallon and his men. After slight re-
sistance they surrendered. Vallon and
his two aids were shot on the spot, and
the other Jehus were sent home after
being severely logged on the bare
back. After that nothing further was
heard of the order.

Feeding Poultry.

The habit of giving much food in q
short space of time is very bad one.
If you will notice their habits you will
perceive that the process of picking up
their food under ordinary or what may
be called the natural condition, is a
very slow one. Grain by grain does
the meal get taken, and with the aggre-
gate no small amount of sand, small
pebbles and the like-all of which,
passing into the crop, assist digestion
greatly.
But, in the henwife's mode of feed
ing poultry, great heap is thrown
down, and the birds are allowed to peg
away Mt such rate that their crop is
filed too rapidly, and the process of
assimilation is slow, painful and incom-
pletc. No wonder that SO many cases
of choked crops are met with under
this treatment
Many other diseases which affect
chickens might be obviated by amateur
breeders, were little precaution taken
in so simple thing as feeding. Reg
ularity in feeding is also essential.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Rolling Grain in the Spring.

If farmers would look at the theory
of rolling the wheat and rye fields in
the spring, it would be resorted to
much more frequently than 1t now IS.
Occasionally the winter and spring have
been so favorable to these crops as not
to render it necessary. But in three
seasons out of four it is necessary, and
doubtless adds considerable to their
productiveness. The thawings and
freezings of the ground, throwing or
spewing out of the roots and exposing
them to the drying winds of February
and March, very seriously affect the
grain. Passing a roller over as soon as
the soil is fit to enter upon, presses
back the roots into their beds, and
gives them fair grip again upon the
support on which the crop must de
pend. This must be apparent to every
one who will look at it's operation.
We have no doubt that rolling clover
fields that have been badly thrown up
by frost, would also have most bene-
fetal effect. - ernontown Telegraph.

Raspberrics.

Raspberries.
The Germantown Telegraph is good
for the following
There is nothing easier to grow than
the raspberry, and of all our small
fruits it is the most wholesome and to
be preferred. The blackberry may be
as wholesome when it is in perfection !;
but the strawberry, while it is delic-
ious fruit, and chosen by many to all
others, is positively injurious to con-
siderable number of persons. 1t con.
tains an acidity of very peculiar and
powerful nature; 1t affects the blood
and produces eruptions and people
subject to govt are prohibited from
touching the fruit. Raspberries, on
the other hand, are not merely inoc-
nous, but they are extremely whole
some, and can be eaten in any desired
quantity
Raspberry canes can be set out now
at any time. They should be planted
three feet apart in the row and the rows
three feet and half to four feet apart.
Cut down the canes to within six n.ch-
es of the ground and set firmly. We
prefer rather moist spot for them, and
if in the shade portion of the day, SO
much the better. They can be planted
under fruit-trees where scarcely any
thing else will grow, and the berry will
be larger and finer. They like a cool,
moist soil, kept 80 by liberal mulching
with leaves, light manure or any trash,
and if foot in depth it is an advan-
tage. The canes which have been laid
down over winter should be taken up
and firmly staked, but not before the
last week In this month
In tying up the canes care should be
taken not to tie too closely, but to
leave room to expand end the new wood
to sprout freely. When extra canes
are wanted, which sometimes sprout in
the space between the rows, mulching
should be delayed until these have
grown a foot or so, otherwise it will re-
tard, if not entirely prevent, the sprout-
ing
Every family ought to, have a few
good rows of raspberries. The variety
requiring the least attention is the
philadelphia" 1t is fair berry,
and very productive. But those who
desire choice fruit, of the largest size,
grow the "Hornet. This is equally
prolific, never failing to give us crop,
but the canes must be protected
through the winter.
