PEAS FOR EARLY FEED. We
think the farmers of Iowa, and the
West generally, would find it boz,
advantageous and profitable to plant
an acre or more of peas, for the pur-
pose of early feed for swine. They
are very easily and cheaply grown,
and afford a large amount of feed at
all early time in the season, when
other crops are unavailable and corn
high and scarce. Hogs are very fond
Of them, and when cut before they
become over ripe and given to the
hogs i'm bulk, they will eat the great
or portion of tue tops about as readi-
ly as the pea itself. The seed may
either be sOwn broadcast and har-
rowed in, or rows may be marked
on: with one horse pillow. three
feet apart, the seed distributed even
ly, thinly, and covered 10y hand. In
the latter case il will be necessary to
cultivate the ground, which pay be
done with the cultivator or plow,
though If the land be weedy, it will
be well to use the hoe, once proba-
bly,. The amount of seed required
will be bushel and u quarter per
acre. For an efrly crop they should
be sown as early as the land can be-

A Beautiful Scene i'm Norway,

The following paragraph is from the
description of a scene witnessed in the
north of Norway, from cliff one thou
sand feet above the sea
"The ocean stretched away in silent
vastness at our feet: the sound of the
waves scarcely reached our airy lookout; !;
away in the north, the huge old sun
swung low along the horizon. We stood
silent, looking at our watches. When
both hands came together at twelve,
midnight, the full round orb hung tri-
umphantly above the wave, a bridge of
gold running due north spanned the
water between us and him. There he
shone in silent majesty that knew no
setting. Combine. if You can, the most
brilliant sunrise and sunset you ever
saw, and its beauties will pale before
the gorgeous colors which lit up the
ocean, heaven and mountain. In half
an hour the sun had swung by percepti-
bly,, the colors changed to those of
morning, fresh breeze rippled over the
flood, one songster after another piped
up in the grove behind us-we had slid
into another day."

Two Queens in a MOuldy Rhine Castle.
The Poll Mall Gazette says

The Poll Mall Gazette says:
The picturesque c stle of Stolzenfels,
well known to tourists on the Rhine,
seldom tenanted, is now occupied by
twin sisters, both Queens, Stolzenfels
was purchased as ruin by the town of
Coblenz, and presented to the late King
Frederick William ~. when Crown
Prince, by whom it was restored at great
expense. 1t was bequeathed by the
King to his widow, the Dowager Queen
of Prussia, who is now occupying this
charming retreat, while her twin sister,
the Queen of Saxony, and the King are
on visit to her. The late King enter
tanned Queen Victoria very sumptuously
here in 1845; and it is narrated that in
consequence Of court etiquette assign
ing Prince Albert that precedence only
which belonged to him as a German
Prince, the Queen was induced to raise
him to the rank of Prince Consort. 1t
is probably little known that parsonage
still survives the Prussian royal family
who connects the present with an inter
esting past epoch. The stepmother of
the Emperor of Germany lives. Four
teen years after the. death of his i'll
fated Queen, the beautiful Louise, King
Frederick William III. contracted a
morganatic marriage with a daughter of
Count Won Harrach, and created her
Princess Won Liegnitz and Countess of
Hohenzollern. This illustrious lady is
now in her seventy-hrst year.

The MackereI Fishery.

The seasons mackerel fishery (says
the Gloucester Telegraph, of Wednes-
day. is rapidly drawing to a close, the
shore fleet are doing but little, and
may soon be expected in our waters for
a week or two, preparatory to winding
up the business for the year. The news
from the Bay indicates a scarcity of
mackerel. The number of arrivals from
the Bay reported at Glouce ter this sea-
son, has been fifty-two. The fares have
been comparatively small, and the qua
lity poor, while prices have ruled much
lower than the past few years. The
fares of thirty-one Gloucester vessels
have been reported, ranging from l6O
to AGO barrels, and averaging 247 bar
rels, which will probably be about the
average of the fleet. Sixteen of the
Portland feet show an average of 211
barrels, and eleven Of the Newburyport
feet show an average catch of 1872 bar
rels. The average catch of the fleet
from other fishing towns, SO far as re-
ported, is equally small: Boothbay, 227
barrels; Northhaven, 100; Wellfeet,
40; Belfast, 10; and New London,
235. A Salem vessel has landed 307
barrels, and one Frankfort vessel is re-
ported with catch of 312 barrels. and
another with 620. Nineteen vessels re-
ported at Port Mulgrave show an aver
age catch of 200 barrels.

Waste PAPER.

But few housekeepers are aware of
the many uses to which waste paper
may be put. After stove has been
blackened, it can be kept looking very
well by rubbing it with paper every
morning. Rubbing it with paper is a
much nicer way of keeping the outside
of tea-kettle, Coffee pot and teapot
bright and clean, than the old way of
washing them in suds. Rubbing with
paper ig also the best way of polishing
knives and tinware after securing. This
saves wetting the knife handles. If a
little flour be held on the paper in rub
bing tinware and spoons, they shine
like new silver. For polishing mirrors,
windows, lamp chimneys, &c, paper is
better than dry cloth. Preserves and
pickles keep much better if brown
paper, instead Of cloth, is tied over the
jar. Canned fruit is not so apt to mould
if a piece of writing paper, cut to fit
the can, is laid directly on the fruit.
Paper is much better to put under a
carpet than straw. 1t is warmer
thinner and makes less noise when one
walks over it. Two thicknesses of paper
placed between other coverings on a
bed are as warm as quilt. If it is
necessary to step upon chair, always
lay a paper on it and thus save the
paint or wood work from damage.

American Regard for Women.

Mr.. Van Arsdel, like many of our
merchant princes, had come from ru-
raj district, and had an early experience
of the hard and frugal life OF farm.
Good sense, acute observation, an ablli-
tv to take wide and clear views of men
and things, and an incorruptable in
tegrity, had been the means of his rise
to his present elevation. He was true
American in another respect, and that
was his devotion to women. In Ameri-
ca, where we have a clear democracy,
women hold that influence over men
that is excited by the aristocracy in
other countries. They are something
to be looked up to, petted and quieted.
The human mind seems to require
something of this kind. The faith and
fealty that the middle class Englishmen
has toward his nobility is not at all
snobbery. 1t has something Of poetry
in tit is his romance of life. Up in
these airy regions where walk the no
bility he is at liberty to fancy some
higher, finer types of manhood and
womanhood than he sees in the ordi-
nary ways of life, and he adores the un-
seen and unknown. The American life
would become vulgar and common
place did not chivalrous devotion to
woman come in to supply the place of
recognized orders or nobility. The true
democrat sees no superior in rank
among men, but all women are by cour-
tesy his superiors.-Mrs. tStoaoe-'' My
Wife and T."

The following paragraph appeared IN
the editorial columns OF the London
Daily NewS:
People who go to Switzerland should
be careful about bathing in the Lake of
Wallenstadt. We are informed that
" a number of persons" excursionists,
probably, who venture to swim in the
water in the course of the season, never
came out of it, either dead or alive, and
the matter has at last been made the
subject of a serious investigation. As
tending toward solution of the mys-
terry, we are told that several fishes of
an enormous size have recently been
observed gamboling in the loch, but
"no one can at present give any accu-
rate description of these monsters of the
deep" 1t is to be hoped that the rela-
tives of the unfortunate individuals who
have disappeared in the Lake of Wall
lenstadt will insist on careful and
deliberate inquiry into the habits of the
new kind of shark that has evidently
developed the most uncomfortable pro-
pensities of Switzerland. Our coasts
and rivers are at any rate free from
fishes addicted to drowning bathers; but
from scientific point of view 1t woulo
be interesting to learn more OF the ter
rible creatures.

Street Cars for WOrkmen.

The street railway companies of Lon
don run what are called workmen's S
cars" which differ from the ordinary ones
only in the fact that the workmen who
ride in them pay one penny for ride
which costs one of the higher classes
three pence. Economic wearers of
broadcloth, however, have not the
privilege of using this cheaper means of
conveyance, but. although riding in the
cheap cars, must pay full rates. This
ground was recently taken by a magis-
trate who decided that the system was
not intended for the benefit of gentle
men, and that clergyman who rode on
one of these cars had to pay full fare.
The question naturally arises if compa-
nies can profitably run their cars at the
reduced rates, how sit they are allow
ed to demand higher fare from any
body? Probably because English cor
porations find money as available in
carrying their points as American ones
do That the English companies
find these workingmen's cars" profit
able is shown from the fact that a COM
pany which is only required by law to
run two such cars actually runs sixteen.
Judging from dividends they pay, there
are a good many street railway compa
nies in our large cities who might not
only run ''workmen's cars with profit
but reduce all their fares, and still make
a very handsome profit.

Italian Voices.

The British Consul at Rome attributes
the good voices possessed by so many
Italians to the fact that the Roman
mothers swaddle their babies. When
the mother is employed out of doors,
her child, mere animate bundle, is
hung up by cord to nail in the wall,
where it is often allowed to cry for
hours. Such continued crying, accord
ing to this investigator, exercises ard
forms the vocal organs in an extraor-
dinary way. If wailing while infants
be harbinger of future vocal excel
lence, there are, to our certain knowl-
edge, several young Americans who
ought, if they live, to be able to vie
with the most gifted Italians. They
certainly exercise their infant lungs
sufficiently to satisfy any reasonable
being. If there is any virtue in swad-
ding, the Indian tribes ought to supply
us with more melodious singers instead
of "whoopers," for swaddling is quite
as common with squaws as with Roman
mothers. We suppose the trouble is
that Indian pappooses do not, as a gen
eral thing, cry much. There are few
old bachelors hard-hearted enough to
wish that some of the infants in their
neighborhood had just enough Of the
Indian about them to make them less
vocally demonstrative in the days OF
their babyhood.-E1.

Destructive Effect of Salt on Axles.

The London papers give accounts of
several accidents on railways o3caSioned
by the fracture of the axles of salt cars.
1t appears that between the sound por-
ton remaining and the outside of the
fractured axle the surfaces were quite
smooth, presenting the appearance of
having been severed by a sharp instru-
ment. This peculiar effect is thought
to have been caused by the gradual ac-
ton of the brine on the metal the heat
at the boss favoring the evolution of
chlorine from the brine, and its then
combining with. the iron to form a solu-
BILE chloride of iron. From the position
of the defect it was not discovered by
any ordinary inspection; and, whatever
may be the scientific explanation of the
peculiar destructive action which thus
goes on in the axles of salt-cars, the fact
must be regarded as a very serious one,
in view of the statement
made that on one railway alone no less
than seven axles of salt-cars were
broken while running in period of less.
than three months, and this out of
total number of about five hundred
wagons, showing an enormously large
as compared with the frac-
ture of axles of any other description
of rolling stock. To diminish this
the plan has been proposed
that, in addition to requiring such cars
to be provided with well-constructed
axles of good quality, it also be insisted
that the date of their commencing to
run be stamped upon the axles, and
that reasonable number of years be
prescribed as the maximum of their
being used.-Iron Aqe.

Reflections.

The crystal lake is smooth 0utspread,

And gracefully the swan glides on,
Where shines the sun or darkens shade,
And here the beams fash down upon
The checkered velvet of the glade
And there she sits upon the mere

A Sealing Company.

1t is announced that Montreal and
Newfoundland Sealing Company" has
been formed in Montreal. Sir Hugh
Allan, of Ravenscrag, the head of the
great shipping firm of Allan q Co: is
director, and several of the wealthiest
capitalists of Montreal have taken shares
in the new company. They have al
ready ordered two large and powerful
steamers to be built at the Clyde, and
to be ready for next springs seal
fishery. A Montreal steamship COM
pany has commenced running steamer
monthly to st. John. She is named the
Alhambra, and has made two trips and
obtained full cargoes. A good many
Canadian manufactures are finding their
way into the st. John market, such as
boots and shoes, tweeds, blanketings,
etc.; and large quantity of -four, pork,
butter, meal, etc, is received there from
Canada.

Crop Prospects.

1t is now pretty certain that the crop
of wheat in England will be short. The
yield, estimated carefully, will amount
to 76, 100000 bushels against l04 100000
in 1870, 96,00O,000 in 1869, and l32,-
100000 in 1868. This falling off, added
to the greatly reduced yield in France
consequent upon the war, will make the
importation of a considerable supply an
absolute necessity. Spain, Hungary,
Russia. and parts of Germany, are
sources whence England has usually
drawn large portion of her foreign
supplies. In these counties, with the
exception of Russia, where the crop is
short, an average crop only has been
gathered. 1t is probable, therefore, that
increased supplies must be drawn from
America. Our crops have been good
with the single exception of spring
wheat, which in some sections has par
TALLY failed. Corn promises abundant
ly, and we hear of excessive crops in
some Western districts. The probabili-
ties are that no great fluctuations will
occur in prices. The demand from
England and France can be abundantly
met without causing any pressure on
our markets, and it is to be hoped that
the demand will be sufficient to enable
us to hold our own in the item Of val
ues.-He0rth and Home.

A Little Ont of Place.

The National Baptist gives the follow
ing. on the authority of the Rev. F. G..
Morris A parrot, belonging to some
friends of mine, was generally taken
out of the room when the family assem-
bled for prayers, for fear he might take
it into his head to join irreverently in
the response. One evening, however,
his presence happened to be unnoticed,
and he was entirely forgotten. For
some time he maintained a decorous
silence, but at length, instead of
" Amen" out he came with "Cheer,
Boys, Cheer" On this, the butler was
directed to remove him, and had got as
far as the door with him, when the bird,
perhaps thinking that he had COM
mitted himself, and had better apollo
gize, called out, Sorry spoke" The
overpowering effect on the company
may be more easily imagined than
described.
