TEE DYING NEVER WEEP.

1t is a striking fact that the dying
never weep. The sobbing, the heart
breaking agony of ths circle of friends
around the death-hed, call forth no re-
sponsive tears from the dying. Is it be-
cause he is already insensible and stiff
in the chill ofdissolution That cannot
be, for he as for his fathers hand, as il
to gain strength in the mortal struggle,
anG leans on the breast OF a mother, sis
ter or brother, in still conscious affec-
tion. Just before expiring, he calls these
loved ones and with quivering lips says,
"Kissi me r. showing that the love
which he has ever borne in his heart is
still fresh and warm. 1t must be be.
cause the dying have reached point too
deep for earthly sorrows, too transcend
snt for weeping. Trey nre face to face
with higher and holier things, with the
Father in heaven and his angels. There
is no weeping in that blessed abode to
which he is Fastening.

TOMATO TRELLIsEs.

The cheapest and most convenis n.
trellis for tomatoes is, to meke Ssar-
square frame for every hill, of four
pieces of hard wood, two feet long and
one inch square, for the four corner
posts. Let three pieces of lath, zach one
foot long, be nailed OH each side. Such
trellises will cost only few cents each,
and they will save four times their cost
in the value of tomatoes. Let such
trellis be placed over each hill before the
plant has begun TO kend Sideways then
the fruit will all be kept off the ground
These kind of trellises may be made In
the winter, or when laborers cannot
work advantageOusly at some ether en-
ployment. If madesef durable timber
and carefully stored during winter in q
pile on ono side Off the field, they will
last half a score of years or more, esps-
cially if they are dipped in kettle of hot
coal tar before they are plaoed over the
tomato hills. f-

CLOVER AS a SHADE.

There is probably no other plant in. the
world of such value to the farmer for
this purpose. 1t furnishes the most per-
feet protection to the soil during the
fierce drying heats of summer. Beingia
constantly deciduous plant, its leaves
are perpetually falling, and soon form a
delicate covering for the entire soil, suf-
ficiently thick for Jhade, and easily PEN
etrated at all peints by the air, which 10
the great carrier to the worn out soil OF
those atmospheric elements that are to
enrich it. In this way the clover plant
not only contributes directly to the fer
tilizing of the soil, by giving its own sub
stance to it, but it furnishes protective
entire covering TO the entire groun d
which encourages aud stimulates those
chemical processes by which the hungry
and exhausted soil is recuperated from
the vast supplies of nutriment that are
held in the atmosphere. 1t becomes to
the farmer the most valuable tertiliser
in the world, as it imrarts fertility to the
entire soil.

agricultural.


The following description of the man.
trees is an intimation Of their painstak-
ing in horticulture:
We have known from childhood how
the Chinese cramp their women's feet,
and so manage to make them keepers
at homer but how they contrlve to
grow miniature pines and oaks in flow
er-pots for half century has always
been much of Il secret. 1t is the pro-
duct, chiefly of skillful, long continued
root ot-pruning. They begin at the Begin
ming.
Taking young plant (say Seeding
or q cutting of a CEDAR, when two or
three inches high, they cut off its tap
root as soon as it has other rootlets
enough to live upon, and rsplant in
shallow pot or pan. The end Of the tap
root is generally made to rest upon the
bottom of the pan, or on fiat stone
within it. fr; .f..l
Alluviul clay is then put into the pot
much OF it in bits the size of beans, and
just enough in kind and quality to fur
nish scanty nourishnent to the
plant.
Water enough is given to keep it In
growth, but not enough is. given to ex-
cite vigorous habit. So likewise in the
application oflight and heat. Then, too,
the top and roots, being within easy
reach of the gardener, are shortened by
his pruning-knife, or scar. with hishot
iron. j.
So the little tree, finding Itself headed
on every side, gives up the idea of strong
growth, asking only for life, and just
growth enough to live and look we'll.
Accordingly, each new set of leaves
becomes more and more stunted, the
buds and rootlets are diminished in pro-
portion, and at length a balance is .es-
tablished between every part Of the tree,
making dwarf in all respects. IN some
kind of trees this end is reached In three
or four years; in others ten or fifleeA
years are necessary.

A MOST extraordinary experiment was
recently made by Prof. DIckenson, q
distinguished Psychologist. A few
grains of barley were placed before a
hungry pigeon, which at once began
pecking. During this operation the
brain OF the pigeon was frozen by means
of spray of ether, and the pigeon be-
ing thus suddenly deprived of conscious
ness, ceased pecking and remained for
awhile rs If deprived of life. At this
moment the grains ofbarley We're all re.
moved. and the ether spray having ceas-
ed, the brain was allowed to thaw; the
bird returned in short time, as it were,
to life, and the first thing it did was to
continue pscking tor awhilei although
no grains wers present.
