Caring for Sparrows.

s.A little girl. seeing the servant
throw the crumbsIinto the fire, said
Don't you know that God takes
care Of the sparrows% ailA
''If God takes care of them, was
the careless reply, we need not
trouble ourselves about them"
"But, said the little girl, I had
rather be like God, and help him
take care of the little birds, than
saatter or waste the food that be
gives u.s." J.il Ji1Gg8 -4IulllLl
So she carefully collected what
was left of the crumbs, and threw
them out of the window. In short
time several little birds flew eagerly
to the spot, and picked up the
crumbs she had scattered. After
this, she every day collected in a
little basket the crumbs and bits OF
bread that had fallen around the
table, and threw them under the
window for the little birds. During
all the winter these little
creatures came regularly after each
meal to partake Of the food thus pro-
vided for their support. How beau
tiful it was to see this little girl try
ing to help God, as she said, and
thus early learning to be kind to
the helpless of Gods creaturesP'-

RAILROAD IN JAPAN.

We have already mentioned. the
opening Of the railroad between
Yokohama and Shinagawa, in Japan
the first constructed in that pro-
gressNe country. The Japs express
ed the proper amount Of astonish
ment when the six cars or carriages
Of different classes, first, second and
third, we're put in motion, bearing
eight hundred people, in the usual
manner at the usual fare. 1t is a
narrow-guage road, worked on the
blocked system to prevent accident.
1t seems strange, in this age to
chronicle the first railroad in any
country. but when we reflect that
the first railroad for conveying pas
sengers was built in England in 1925,
and the first locomotive engine was
used in this country in 1929, the
Japanese have not much leeway to
make up; but there will soon be
heard the echo in all the island of
the steam whistle, and the rumble of
trains exciting industrial activity,
bearing produce and imports in ey-
cry direction, and opening Japan to
foreign influence more effectually
than the most liberal treaties.

An Indian on Raising Peaches

On the Reservation in Western
New York, Is a Tuscarora Indian,
whom a correspondent of the Chat
aque Farmer states reasons thus in
relation to having healthy peach
trees, and proves it by his fruit At
all events 1t is an original idea, if
not altogether sound. He says
John Mount Pleasant, who has a
farm eftwo hundred acres in the
southwest corner OF the reservation
about five miles from Suspension
Bridge, told me that he cleared two
thousand dollars last year from the
proceeds of his fruit orchard, and
mentioned, incidentally, that the
chief reason why his peach trees
were loadedHwith fruit while others
apparently on the same kind of soil
bore nothing, was that in setting his
trees, he always made a deep hole
with cavity, into which he insert
ed the tap root as deep as possible.
He said the nurserymen in pulling
their trees for market, very often
cut off this tap root. He would
never set out a tree thus mutilated
unless compelled to do so; and in
that case he would take the longest
lateral root he could find and thrust
it down into the hole as a substitute
for the original tap root. BY pur
suing this course, he almost uni
formly has a liberal crop OF peaches.
His peach trees are set in alternate
rows with his apple trees"

The Even Temper.

The other day 1 was waiting on
the wharf, when, at the last moment,
9ASthe cables wefe loosened and
the wheels were beating the water,
and the ship was on the very point
of sliding away, l saw gentleman,
whom, for some time ! had remark
Cd a, s,anxiously awaiting something
which did not arrive, hand his wife
and children over the side, and de-
scend the plank from the ship to the
wharf The moment they were of
the plank It was raised, and the next
msfaat atheE ship glided ipto the
stream, gun doomed over the wa
ter, and she was on her way over
the 3eean. 6 k -bnGE 3sSa eAT
The gentleman and his family
Watched the ship disappear in which
for many weeks their passages had
been taken, and which they had so
rrlscnntis aeftfat the Last moment
I in turn watched them, not intru-
siseiy nor impertfnently. 7 hope,
hhtbecsuse l saw in the gentleman's
face no sign of anger, nor, indeed,
of very serious disappointment.
While I Vas admiring his self com
mandNfof I had seen people surly
because dinner owas delayed = a
truckman with q heavy load OF, bag
gage drove rapidly along the wharf.
He saw the situation in q moment
and was confounded and frightened.
The gentleman pointed to the re-
eeding ship, and said, quietly to the
truckman, "You have prevented our
going" There was no anger, no
harsh or scolding tone. The gen.
ttem4n evidently did not choose to
lose his temper as we'll as his pas
sage, and his mildness and generos-
ity brought tears to the delinquent's
eyes: The truth was, not that be

ing he had time enough, be had

onl Z missed: their passage. Il was

arrangement Of plans carefully laid,

baked endeavors of the kind; but
it was, for all that, q sudden and
sharp test Of temper. That Of some

How to Start an Aquarium

One of the most attractive of sit
tingroom ornaments is an aquarium.
They need. not necessarily be ex-
pensiye, as common window glass
set in a wooden frame will suffice,
though one with an iron frame will
be better. OF course it must be
made water tight. When this is
done put in rain or river water
probably any soft water will ans
wer; then get a piece of rock large
enough to come nearly to the top;
and the more holes and cavities and
projections it has, the better it will
suit the fish. Put this in the middle
and cover the bottom with clean
sand or gravel two inches deep or
more. You are ready then for aqua
tic plants, which may consist of
American Starwort, Mermaid-weed,
Gala, Eel-grass, &c. When these
have been planted three or four days
it will be ready for the fish. Min
novs. water nevis, perch, mussels,
tadpoles, snails, and a few goldfish,
are commonly used. Snails are said
to keep both the water and the grass
clean. Some other kinds will do
equally well, but pike and trout are
Objectionable on account of a weak
ness for eating up the other mem
bers of the family. Care must bs
used SO as not to overstock the YES
sci, or all will die. With a proper
proportion of plants and fish, the
water will remain pure for a number
of weeks. When it has stood some
time, it can be improved by dipping
out and pouring back from little
height. The fish may be fed bread
crumbs and minute bits of meat, but
what is not eaten by them must be

Farm and Household.
Cooking Vegetables.

Why should vegetables be washed
in warm water first, then cold, to
cleanse them from esnd and insects?
The hot water, which must be hot
ter than tepid, causes the insects
and sand to fall out at once. In
sects doanot always dislike cold
water and salt, but hot water kills
them. 1t must be understood that
only a small handful OF greens or
one head Of cabbage alta time must
be washed, and then instantly
thrown into cold water, which
crisps and thoroughly cleanses
them. Spinach, leeks, celery and
seakaie are thus rendered very clean
and dmoreoverare very rapidly cleans
ed. It is worse than useless to at
temp to cleanse. vegetables in salt
and water. The hardness which
salt creates in the water prevents all
cleansing properties. The salt may
kill the insects it does not always
do thisl, but they stick on SO hard
and fast; the hot water makes them
fall ont at once, and the cold water
crisps and blanches them.

a carp bas just died in France,
aged three hundred and seventy five
years. How much longer 1t would
have lived It is impossible to con-
tecture,as its death was prematurely
hxstened by combat with q huge

a little after the period OF the dis
eSyery Of America by Columbus.
