An Empress Snubs the Shah,

The Shah, it appears, had no end OF
trouble ut Vienna. The sudden de-
parture of the Empress caused great
deal of curious conjecture. The day
after the Persian monarch's arrival the
Empress of Austria sent an officer to
the Luxembourg, with orders to ask the
Shah when he would call at Schoen-
brun, and whether the imperial family
could expect to receive His Majesty at
a certain hour. The Shah replied !:
II shall pay my respects to the impe-
rial family whenever it suits rue to do
SO; a person Of my rank does not take
orders from any one." When the EN-
press received this boorish message
she started ut once for the country:
When the Shah went, he was received
by the Emperor and Prince Rodolph:
After time, during which he looked
about uneasily, he said: Il should
like to see your wife. Is the Empress
hcre7" 1.-The Empress has gone to
the country on account of an indisposi-
tion," replied Francis Joseph, c0ldly.

self with the fairy's hat. regardless OF
his agonized gasps for breath, till the
rain ceased, and the sun, now moving
toward tho west, looked out once more.
Our fairy, bruised, drenchcd and
faint with hunger, had climbed pain
fully down to the ground again, when
a kind.he artcd bee, seeing his miscra-
bic plight, offered him some of the
honey she Carried, which he gratefully
accepted, though in MI his life no had
never eaten anything so coarse before:
He felt slightly refreshed after his
meal; and it was then that little girl,
coming up the valley to pick wild flow
ers after the rain, found him sitting on
a rock trying TO dry his dripping green
dress in the sunshine. She warmed
him te>derly in her hands, and by dint
of careful listening made out his pitiful
story. After thinking awhile, she told
BIN she would carry him home with
her to stay MI night, and before SUM-
rise would take him up to the noun

he should not be noticed but the sun
was uncommonly bright that morning,
and saw him in minute. So our fairy
had to begin and tell him the whole
story; bnt at the end, the sun, who is
very good natured when he isn't angry,
laughed aloud, observing that he had
been punished enough for once, and
that he himself would speak a good
word for him to the Queen when they
got home. Then he tucked the fairy
into his pocket, and went on his way.
That night the Fairy Queen, who
had grown anxious about the fate of
her little subject, was readily induced
to pardon him, and gave orders that he
should be carefully nursed. He had

indigestion from eating the honey, and
was miserable enough for several
weeks. His lady love came to cheer
him up, however; and when he was
quite recovered, the Queen ordered
preparations for grand wedding. The
affair passed off delightfully."-. The sun
honored the occasion with his presence
for few moments, and even the Queen
and the Prime Minister were there.
The next day, when the little girl
went to visit the rock in the valley with
the hope of again seeing the fairy, she
found instead tiny gold box contain.

Cial Disaster.

a govcrnment official in high posi-
ton, 1T Washington, whose long cx-
perience as banker and merchant
enables him to speak with some degree
OF certainty, said recently, in regard to
the frequency of fires originating in
business portions of cities, that such
disasters had invariably preceded
every financial revulsion for the last
thirty years. The only explanation
given was that bust ness firms embar-
rassel find incend;arism the easiest
way of concealing their financial COM
plications, while it gave them the
amount OF insurance for ready bust
ness.

Too many persons who nse the hoe
suppose that the chief benefit derived
from it is to kill the weeds. That Ger.
tainly is an important work, and one
greatly neglected. Weeds are not only
in the way of cultiyating the crops
which we plant, but they rob them of
much nutriment which they need.
Hoeirg, then, is an essential service
in respect to destroying the weeds.
There are other advantages, however,
which are quite commonly overlooked.
Let us see:
l. The loosening of the soil in the
operation OF hocing is beneficial to the
plants as much as the destruction of
weeds, or more SO.
2. Moisture abounds in the atmo.
sphere dining the hottest months. aud
is absorbed and retained most album.
dainty by coil which is in the most
friable state. Prof. Schlubes found
that l, 200 grams Of stiff clay absorbed
in "a hours only 36 grains of moisture
from the air; whilst garden mould
absorbed As grains, and fine magncsia
absorbed 76 grains.
3. Then, again, pulverizing soil en-
ables it better to retain the moisture
absorbed.
4. The soil, in order to be healthy
and active, must breathe. A light,
porous soil admits the air. and thus it
IS fed and greatly invigorated by the
atmosphere.
S. The suns rays heat hard soil
much quicker than loose one, and the
hotter the soil is, 50 much grentcr will
be evaporation from it. SO that the
hard soil is deprived of its moisture
much sooner than one of loose tex
turc.
6. The roots and plants can find their
way Though moist, loose soil in
search Of food, much better than they
can through a hard, dry soil.
Z. The soil that has been plowed
we'll, and then kept loose near the sur
lace by the action of the hoe, will
receive and hold tho rain water that
falls, while IL hard soil will allow most
OF it to run INTO tile valleys and streams
as it falls.

The irroprcssiblo "Mnrk " has been

joker in England. Here is the story,
~ gravely told in the London scientific
periodical called Land and Water, by
Mr.. Henry Lee:
Apropos Of porpoises hearing, my
friend Mark Twain tells me that after
reading my little article on this subject
the idea struck him one morning, when
he was performing his additions in q
large zinc bath, that he would try to
fancy himself a porpoisc being raped
at on the front glass of its tank by
tbouglitiess persons. So while his
head was under water, he tapped with
his knuckles on the metal side of the
bath. The sound, he says, was con-
veyed to his tympanum with surpris-
ing resonance, and, if not sufficient to
cause him to commit suicide as the
porpoise did at the Brighton Aquar-
ium, was much louder than would be
produced by the same act in the exter-
nal air.

Salt as u Fertilizer.

Mr.. A. H. Moll, OF Greenfield, and
D. H. Whitney, of Lincoln, in Monroe
county, Wisconsin, have both expert
mented some in the use of common salt
as fertilizer, and in every trial it has
proven to be Of great power and utility.
MIR. Moll had fenced and undertook
to cultivate piece of ground that had
been occupied for some years as q pub
lie wagon road, but was not able to
raise grain on it of any amount. He
took barrel of meat brine, reduced it
three to one with water, and sprinkled
it over the land, and ever since it has
produced very heavy crops. He has
used it on other portions of his farm
with very desirable results. Mr..
Whitney says he soved ON one acre OF
clover IS pounds of common salt, and
| side by side common land plaster, and
| where the salt was used the crop is
much the best.
My opinion is that it is a powerful
fertilizer, if used in proper quantities.
Mr.. Whitney's trial was great sue
cess. I should be glad to hear from
any of your many readers on this sub.

DESTRUCTION IN D1sGU1sE.-It is a
fact that mixtures of bad liquors and
acid astringents are often given for
medicines. They are potent to destroy
and may be safely warranted to rum,
morally and physically, any human be-
ing that sticks to them long enough.
More drunkards have been made by
these villainous connections, labeled
medicines, than by the liquors of COM
merce. Alcoholic poisons, advertised
as remedies, are more mischievous
than tavern drains. For intermittent

4 'NOuclinr War Incident.


A correspondent relates the follow
ing incident of the recent bomhard-
ment of Valencia, in Spain: ga vol
unteer was firing and advancing rs the
civil guards retreated, when he heard
a parched voice asking for water. The
volunteer, young man whose heart
had not yet been petrified by the hor
rors he witnessed around him, ran up
to where the voice came from. A civil
guard was lying in pool of mud and
blood. He was shot through the
breast, and his glazy eyes heralded ap-
preaching death. He was lying close
to fountain. Without losing a mo-
ment the volunteer ran to it and brought
back his cup full Of water. The blood
was gushing from the poor soldier'g
mouth; but the volunteer having
raised his head to his knees poured
down his throat tho delicious liquid.
It was getting dark, and up to this time
the volunteer had not noticed the fea-
lures of his companion; Imagine his
horror when he discovered that the
dropping head, and the spirit which
was disentangling itself from human
miseries, we're th>se OF his father, a
respectable non-commissioned officer
in the Civil Guards. The unfortunate
man did not recognize his child: it
was too late, he sank to eternal rest
with his head resting OH the knees OF
repentant son, who has now thrown
away bis rifle and resolntcly refused to
fight again."
