GREAT EATERs.-The man who
wished he had a throat mile long, and
IA palate all the way, might envy the
feats performed in the world of insignif-
icance. Some insects are endowed with
an appetite so keen, and a digestion so
rapil, that they eat incessantly through
out all of their lives. They begin as
soon as they are born, and go steadily
on till they die. Their existence is a
feast, without change of plates, or. a
pause between the, courses. Morning,
noon and night their mouths are full,
and an endless procession of favorite
food gratifies the unwearied palate.
They know not the names of meals.
Breakfast commences with infancy ,and
their only after-dinner nap is a passage
to another state of existence. =.

Hints to Writers.

The rule regarding talk, "When you
having nothing to say, say it," applies
equally to writing. When you really
have something to write about, do not
peck and scratch round the subject like
"a hen; pounce upon it boldly like an
eagle. Almost every article presented
by unpractised writers to magazines
no matter how admirable the subject
drifts to leeward for one or two pages
before the writer gets steerage-way on
his thoughts, and the reader finds out
where he wants to sail to. This fault
could easily be avoided by proper re-
visiOn.s Cut out all that does not bear
on the subject discussed; every useless
adjective; every effective repetition of
the same idea. Then consider whether
you have said what you wanted to say
in the best language at your command.
If not, write on till you feel satisfied
Then condense and prune. Do not seek
for striking metaphor or sprightly epi-
occur naturally, that may be put in,
you really gain anything by them;
whether they really add force to your
vanity at the time. Afterward, when
all is done in the way of argument, you
may here and there carefully add an apt
quotation or pungent witticism, to at
tract attention and make some impor-
tant sentence snap, like the cracker on
coach-whip. Remember, too, all the
time, that facility in composition, as in
all ether accomplishments, can only be
obtained by practice and perseverance
"frue grace, in writing. comes by art. not
l. chance;
As they move:easlest who have learned to
dance. 20

The following, from an exchange, shows

from her parish priest, stating her age,
and attesting her neral and religions
character. She must have a. clear and
legible handwriting and be acquainted
with the main outlines of universal
history, and of the historyof Sweden in
detail, as also with political geography,
arithmetic ito decinals and the rule OF
three, the Swedish grammar, and SO
much of French, German and English
as may suffice to write, to translate Them
into Swedish The magnificent salary
given her is from 300 to $40 per year,
and shecans sfetain her position as long
as she remains single. The highest po-
sition she eaneyer hope, to attain in the

in order to achieye this she must wait
years for vacancy and then pass q

An Icelander, who recently lectured
upon his country, its ply ysical features,
DC, in London, called attention to a
common mistake of foreigners in regard
to the famous hot springs. The princi-
pal of these is called Geyser. and from
this we call them all geysers, which is
asabsurd to an Icelander as an Enn-
lishman would seem if he spoke of all
the rivers in England as Thameses, or
as if an American termed all his native
streams Mississippis.

HARD HEADs.-Negroes are hard
headed in Brazil. A South, American
correspondent of the Boston AdUertiser
writes: "The negro totes everything
on his head, from a small paper parcel
to a grand piano, and, on this head, , a
lady spending the hot. months in Tijuca
ordered her piano sent out from the
city, distance about twelve miles, sup
posing it would be sent by team. But
on the day appointed, eight negroes
made their appearance at Whites
Hotel in Tijuca, with the said piano
riding aloft on their woody heads
having brought it the entire distance,
including the mountain road of three
miles heavy up grade,' without once
stopping for rest upon the way. Before
setting it down these jolly negroes pa
raded it about the yard with sing
song march, to show that they were not
In the least done up by their perform

y CAPTAIN HALLS ARCTIC SHIP
Captain Hall, whose expedition to the
North Pole was fostered by the last
Congress, is now engaged in fitting out
his ship, called the Periwinkle, and he
expects to sail during this month";
There are at present about one hundred
and fifty workmen engaged on the ves-
sci, which is on the ways, and they are
doing the work in the most substantial
manner. This vessel is of about four
hundred tons burden, one hundred and
thirty-aght feet in length, twenty
eight feet in breadth and thirteen feet
in depth of hold, and rugged as a top
sail schooner. There are two thick
nesses of three-inch white oak plank
ing on her SO arranged as to secure the
greatest amount of strength. The
frame is solid. About four feet below
the lead line the bows will be sheathed
with iron distance of forty feet as a
further protection against the ice, and
she has hoisting propeller for use in
working through floating ice. 1t was
originally intended to line her with
cork, but this plan has been abandoned.
Her engines are being built in the
strongest possible manner for the rough
service she is intended for, and of her
boilers, it is said, is being constructed
for the purpose of using blubbero for
heating. '-- - s

corn. As soon as the corn is large

in drills, in rows, and also sowing
broadcast; but planting in hills gives
me the best result. .r.,.-.'- 2
l am careful not to allow more than
three kernels in hill to grow. My
cattle will eat corn grown in this way
far better than that grown thickly in
drill or broadcast, besides the ears sell
for enough to pay all labor. A great
many people put off planting their fod-
der corn until it is so late that their
corn is not fit to use until theshortest
time for feed is over. Ifthey plant
corn for fodder as soon as the weather
will admit, it will ne fit for boiling by
the first of August, which is the time
to commence feeding COWS.
rs Although many people slur the idea
of making milk on corn fodder, l think
one who will plant corn for fodder ac-
cording to my plan, will be convinced
of its great value for that purpose. 1t
does not follow that we are obliged to
break out all the ears that grow, cattle
will not object to the ears with the
stalks. I think one can raise more

q SPROUTING POTATOES.
Sprouting the white potato will adj
vance the crop two weeks. they
should be cut so that about two eyes
areallowed to each piece, and these
should be planted in hotbeds with a
very thin covering of soil; or it is bet
ter to plant in boxes and set these in
hot bed, so that after they are properly
|sprouted they can be at once carried to
the place of planting. If the night
should be anyway cold, protect with
thin covering of straw when the plant

Some persons who. want large quaint

ed, and spread them on boards, boxes
or crates, in a dark place, and when
sprouted, say from ince to an inch and
