wearing cap of Liberty, is leaning for
ward to hug her lover as he descends
from window of the Elysee by ladder
of ropes. Though we are only shown
the bhck of Romeo, it is impossible not
to recognize in his peculiarly built figure
the President of the French Republic.
A full moon shining on the lovers as
they are terminating their stolen inter

Re nm The Safe Side.

We hold health and life by frail tenure, and not
to protect them to the best of our ability would
seem to argue a deficiency of common sense. The
searching winds and cold rains offspring the tropic
heat of summer, the malarious vapors of autumn
and the paraIyzing temperature of winter, are all
inimicaI to those finely adjusted and sitive
pieces of mechanism we call our bodies. Each sea
its peculiar perls, and the fall is perhaps as
prolific of dangerous disorders as any of them; for
at this season fevers and bowel complaints are
very apt 10 take epidemic form. AS a proven

Cuttings.

I usually make them so that their
length will vary from three to five
buds; then bundle and place them
in a pit, cover with about q foot Of
dirt, and let them remain until the
following spring. It is not material
with me whether the buds are up
permost or placed in the pit hori-
zontallv. When planting out cut
tings, l place them in rows from
east to west, with the tops pointing
southwark. The lower portion of
tho cutting is to be placed in a posi-
ton that is nearly horizontal, while
the upper portion is to be set in the
usual position. Between the 1st
and 9Th of June I set crOtches from
ten to twenty feet apart, and which
are from four to FIVE feet in height
from the surface; on these lay poles,
and against them set brush to form
a partial shade for the cuttings; let
them remain in position until about
the goth or 18th of July, when, if {
rainy day occurs, remove them en-
tirely.
I have had the best of success
with the most difficult kinds of cut
tings to propagate-Norton's Vir
ginia. Delaware, Cynthiana, Her
man, and others. In the old way
OF planting and cuItivating I usual

Flowing Sandy Soils.

Spring is the time to pillow sandy
soils. If plowed in the autumn the
repeated freezings and thawings of
winter will so loosen and Tighten
them as to be easily dritted and in
jured by treshets, whereas it is de-
sirable to fall-plow heavy clays,
which are rendered friable by the
freezings and thawings of winter.
Many farmers fear that to subsoil
pillow sandy soil would be too loose,
by teaching all the manure they ap-
ply, forgetting that even a very
slight percentage of clay or carbon
aceOus matter is sufficient to absorb
and retain manures till used by
plants; for if it were not so, there
would be few wells the water of
which would be fit to drink. The
fact is, that sandy soils, as a rule,
are greatly benefited by subsoil
blowing. Such soils are easily and
greatly cOmpacted by rains, so mnch
so as to prevent the easy penetra-
ton of tho roots Of plants When
subsOIl is plowed with the lifting
subsOil pillow, which Ioosens but
does not bring the subsoil to the
surface, roots may strike deeply in
search of food. The roots of crops
afterwards decaying in such soils
supply organic matter, thus increas.
ing their tenacity, rendering them
liable to drift. and improving them
| generally for the growing Of crops

The Crime Sugar Industry.

The manufacture of grape sugar
has assumed large proportions. In
Germany there we're, in 1868, sixty
establishments in operation, which
produced that year 100000
pounds of syrup and 100000 of
sugar. Since that time other and
more extensive factories have been
established, and the cultivation of
potatoes for the purpose also cover
ing large extent of territory. The
potato plantations are usually in
sandy districts adapted to their
growth. The method pursued in
nearly all of the refnerieB is identi-
cal, The wet starch is first put into
a large washtub, where, der con-
slant stirring for an hour, it is en-
tirely dissolved in water and dilute
acid. From the washtubs it is run
into watts where it can be boiled by
steam-here it remains for sugar
four or five hours, for syrup two OF
three hours. It is then put into the
neutralizing tanks to be treated
with carbonate of lime and left until
the sediment, chiefly composed oil
gypsum, has settled this usually
requires six hours. The sweet
liquid thus obtained is evaporated
in vacuum pans, filtered, and left tc
crystalize, if sugar Is to be made, OF
manufactured into syrup. The pro
cess does not essentially differ from
that pursued in the United States
where corn starch is chiefly EN-.
ployed.
The great increase in the wine
growing districts of America hal
occasioned an enlarged demand fol
glucose, and the manufacture of thiI
article appears destined to assume
large proportions ia the United
States, where corn can be obtained
in unlimited quantity.

The Matter of Size.

If a greyhound were as large as
an elephant, and had the power and
stride would correspond with his
size, he would kill himself in run
ming a mile. The material of his
frame could not stand the strain.
The draught-horse is never a race
horse. Beyond a certain weight
the loss Of the power Of feetness be-
gins. Nature puts her materials
into the best forms for securing her
objects. The swallow is swifter
than the swan. Ship-builders have
found, to their sorrowful and dis
astrous cost, that above a certain
size a ship is proftless. Taking
into consideration the material of
which ships are made, the modes of
handling them, and the needs Of
commerce, two ships, possessing the
aggregate capacity of the Great
Eastern, are worth twice as much as
she The statement viii doubtless
be good for all time. There is q
limit, fixed by nature, in this matter
of size, on all the instrum
of human commerce of every sort,
beyond which results are unsatisfac-
tory. There will never be railroad

will never be another Great Eastern

Home. Farm and Garden.

Water in which potatoes have
been boiled is said to possess a poi
son fatal to lice on cattle. Wash
freely with sponge or wooden cloth,
choosing a sunny day or q warm
stable for the operation, and as their
hides dry rub down with a curry
comb.
Every family should provide a
barrel or box for receiving chicken
bones, ish-bones, and bits of bones
which accumulate in the kitchen. A
hundred pounds may be saved in a
few weeks. Such bones are valuable
for grass land, and for burving
around all kinds of fruit trees and
grape vines.
The Grape Cu2turisi says that a
large vineyardist in Illinois keeps
not less than one hundred ducks
constantly among his vines. He
says It Is wonderful with what dill

of bugs, thrips, flies, and small snails,

Raising Frnit in the Shade

A writer in the Fruit Recorder,
evidently a clergyman, contributes
the results of experiments in the
shade
A parisher objected to planting
raspberries, because he had no place
for them except the north side of his
barn,
In 1868, I planted two rows of
raspberries about feet long and three
feet apart, in the rows directly west
from a two-story building, and under
the north side of tight board fence,
so that they got no sun till after
noon, and not more than two or
three hours Of any day and from
that plantation we have picked two
bushels in season of Red An
twerps and Brinklie's Orange, that
were the admiration of our neigh
bOrs.
The finest Black Caps I ever
raised were directly under the north
side of high barn.
I raised a full crop of strawberries
RusseIrs-in the same location, and
thus heightened out tho strawberry
season, as they ripened a week later
than those that had the full benefit
of the sun.
