AGRICULTURAL NorEs.-Take care to
avoid the mistake Of going into the cul-
ture Of any fruit or vegetable too largely
at first
Success in the cultivation of any crop,
like tue practice OF any trade, requires u
minute knowledge Of all the details,
which can only be gained by experience.
1t iSa well known truth, that the in.
creased supply Of any article enlarges
the demand.
Products which few years ago were
considered as luxury which only the
rich could afford, are constantly used by
the Gay laborers in our cities and villages
now.
II is important to the farmer so to
manage that the land cultivated each
year should lie rs much as possible to.

sotts at a triAe less than one ton per
acre.
Many formers wonld obtain a larger
product at less expense, il tue labor and
manure were concentrated on q smaller
space Of ground.
The increased price Of the great agrl.
culturnl staples, does not keep pace with
the increased cost OF production.
There are men,-observing aud practi,
cal men. who have Wrung from the soil
oil they possess Of worldly wealth men
competent to teach, but who are only
unwilling to make the attempt.
One of the chief hindernnces to ngricul.

feel towards giving the public the benefit
Of their experience, either by writing or
by speech.

Eccentric Education of Two Bayarian
Princessese

Although eccentricity is said to be plant
Of island growth, we occasionally see it
cropping out in continental households and
sometimes in royal palaces. For instance,
the Queen of Naples and her sister, the EN-
press Of Austria, two Of the most beautiful
women in Europe, were brought up by their
father. a Bavarian Prince OF collateral
branch, in the strangest manner possible.
Fond of low society, he would take them
with him inc0gnito to the tayerns of Munich
and the tents Of the gypsieso He taught
them to- ride, row. shoot drive and swim.
and no one else thought OF supplementing
this very effective education.
Their mother hypochondriac rather than
an invalid, used to sit up all day reading
novels in a darkened room and feeding her
precious lap-dogs. Her children were now
and then tremendously brought in to see
their mother who had nothing to say to
them when they had come. They hated the
dogs naturally enough, and were given to
slyly pinching their ears in consequence.
The dogs yeped, and the mother querulous.
y complained Of her head. Thus ended
the interview and the girls went back to
their father and their sports, 1t was de
rigeur that they should receive religious in.
struction, and the Archbishop of Munich
chose among his clergy one whom he
thought most competent to the post as
teacher of the Princasscso
ALloI d month tlIe unhappy chaplain was
sure to ask as favor to be relieved of his
duty. The girls would laugh and talk to
each other; utterly unheedful Of any remor-
STRANGE, and generally managed to tease
their poor preeeptor beyond all patience.
When the Archbishop himself, with infinite
palms. had instructed them for confirmation,
they laughed in his face during the cere-
mony. All these facts we learned from his
own lips during his stay il gomeo where he
has since died.
The Empress of Austria, however, i'm.
proved very much after her marriage;
learned French and Hungarian and many
other useful things, and became very popu- |
lar, both with court and the people, espc- !
cSally in hungary Her sisters career less
fortunate, has been also more romantic, but
one can not help rejoicing that in hen so |
