will see some things worthy of imitation ;
but if you have got into an inferior school

But do not mount the teachers plat>

You will not see the school to advantage

pieces, from which new shoots will start
forth, and thus greatly increase the crop.
The application of grass seed may then
be made with reasonable prospect that
but little of II will be lost. A common
brush harrow may then be used to cover
the seed, and top dressing will then grad
ually work into the soil around the roots,
and give the seed and the old grass a fresh
start aud fresh lease Of life. For this op-
Grafton no time, perhaps, is better than the
early part of September, though if this
time has passed, and it seems desirable to
do it in the spring, the ground would be
softer, and the operation quite as effective,
the old grass serving as a sufficient protec-
ton of the newly sown seed against any
injury from drought, effectually shielding,
also the compost applied from loss and
waste from the same cause. Both the Shares
and the Nishwitz harrows are in many re-
spects great improvement on anything
we have heretofore had for pulverizing the
soil afler the plow has left it. They do not
tear up the old sod, or uncover the manure,
like the ordinary tooth harrow, while they
mellow the surface, and prepare 1t for the
reception of seed more completely than
any other implement. Their invention may
be said to constitute new era in this class
of implements.

A LEARNED MAGICIAN.-Prof. Pepper,
a learned English naturalist now in this
country, in one Of his recent lectures gave
quite an entertaining account of the So
called fire eaters. Fire, he said, might be
handled with impunity if various condi-
tons be complied with, and, as he frequent
ly remarked, ait you know how" Some
times the skin is naturally hard, thick, and
callous, so that highly heated substances
may be held for some time without dam
ger or non-conductors might be interpos-
ed-a fact which he illustrated by covering
his hand with charcoal and placing thereon
a lump of red hot iron. Certain chemical
substances, being applied to the skin, will,
when in contact with other substances Of
high temperature, vaporize, forming cush-
ion of vapor which protects the part from
injury. To prove the fact, the speaker,
first dipping his hand into turpentine 10
cleanse the skin, and then into ether, cool
ly plunged it into tank of boiling water
and removed an egg. Then, as a conclud-
ing experiment, he moistened his hand
with strong ammonia and dipped his fin
gers into molten lead, hot enough to in
fame paper, and finally poured the molten
metal on his palm, scattering it about as If
| it were quicksilver.

MULcHING.-Mulchin is too often not
properly appreciated or neglected from
some cause. Strawberries should not only
be mulched just before fruiting, but should
be well mulched In fall, just before the
ground freezes, and you will not complain
of your vines being all frozen out or dead
in the spring. All newly planted trees,
shrubs and evergreens should be we'll
mulched as soon as possible. Three or
four inches of short straw, hay, light ma
nure, or litter of any kind will answer to
keep the hot sun from drying out the mois-
ture of the soil, which favors the formation
of new roots, instead of being parched up,
as is too often the case 1t also prevents the
growth of weeds. Mulchng is often BEN
eficial in saving a crop Of peaches, by
retarding their early opening until the late
frosts are over.

70 RENEW GRASS WITHOUT PLowING.-
Many lands are so situated that II is desira-
Bile to keep them in grass without plowing.
The renewal by the ordinary process of
cultivation is expensive and laborious, TO
say nothing of the time it takes to break
up. and plant, and cultivate some hoed
crop in the regular line of rotation. When
the grass on such lands is "bound out" as
they say, something more than a top dress
ing is needed, though liberal application
in season would have kept it along, per-
haps, for some years. When this has been
neglected, and the grass has become thin or
run out for want of seed, what shall be
done TO renew it without the cost and time
which the ordinary process requires? We
know OF no more effective way than to har-
row the piece twice, diagonally or cross
wise at right angles, with the Nishwitz
harrow. This implement is somewhat
new in principle, differing from other har-
rows in having a series of sharp edged cir
cular revolving disks, nearly foot in di-
ameter, concave on one side, and convex
on the other. 1t is drawn precisel N4ke
the ordinary harrow, and cuts the surface
into innumerable squares, leaving it mel
! low, with the grass roots cut into many

GAMBLING IN THE EAsT.--In the East
gambling is a universal practice. All class
es delight in il, from the king on his throne
to the wrctched beggar that prowls about
the gates of the noble TO find seanty sup
port, not in "the crumbs that fall from the
rich mans table," but in the very garbage
that is cast from his gate. So passionately
devoted to this despcable vice are many
Orier tails that when they have bartered of
everything else they possess, rather than
desist they will sell their wives and chill
dren into slavery, and even pawn their
own bodies 10 get money to gamble with.
Licensed gaming-houses are found in all
Eastern cities, and most Oriental monarchs
derive large revenues from this source.
Sometimes dice are used, and occasionally
small cowries (shells), but cards are most
general. The common people, male and
female, frequent the public saloons, which
arc said to be perfect dens of crime, as they
are often the theatres of the most heart
sickening tragedies. The gambling of the
higher classes is done in their own homes
and they never fail to invite, and even impor-
tune, their visitors to partake of the sport,
while they often boast ofthe large sums they
have lost or won among their friends. But,
though husbands and fathers deem:it right
thus to employ their own time, their wives
and daughters are strictly ordered to avoid
all such immoral practices, lest the well
filed purse of pdterfd nilidS should suffer
detriment. During the reign of the old
usurpcr who sat upon the throne at the
time of my first visit to Siam, it was one
