WRESTLING.

Good whistling may sometimes
be heard, but, as a rule, a plough
boy will outstrip any well-bred man
in whistling. The reason is. proba-
bly,, that he is never haunted by a
sense CT the righteousness of his
face, as he purses his mouth into
the form for whistling. A friend of
mine, who enjoyed far-famed repu-
tation for whistiing, was repeatedly
asked to exercise his talent at dinner
and evening parties. But he would
comply with the request only on
condition that he might be permitted
to turn his back on the company.
His demand was on all occasions
granted, whereupon he would turn
round, and bogin to whistle any
tune he was desired. One day he
was asked to favor his friends with a
piece from La Somnambula, and, as
was his wont, he wheeled round, and
fixing his eyes on the ground, COM
menced whistling. Happening,
however, to raise his eyes towards
the conclusion Of the air, he saw
in a large mirror before him, the
countenance OF his auditors, some Of
whom were trying to restrain their
mirth; this was too much for him,
and the tune was abruptly put
stop to, by loud burst Of laughtel
from the gentleman himself. Ar
Englishman some years since gave
several specimens of his skill in
whistling, and got up a class t
teach it. OF course there was gig
Cling before the lesson actually com
menced, but it was presently exhaus
ted: and the class, with solemn ia
cqs, waited for the tutor, who wa
trilling few preparatory cadenzas
The order came, -"Gentlemen
prepare to 10s'cker"' as he purse'
up his lips. The class never go
beyond that point.

A criminal Of high rank appeared
within the last few days before a
court Of justice at Kostroma, in Rus
STA, on charge of cruelty ill-using
his own son. The trial created a
great sensation throughout the coun-
try, on account of the distinguished
position Of the accused, and the hor-
rible nature Of the facts brought to
light. Prince Cyrie Michailow Urn
SOW was, it appears, a confirmed
drunkard, and had treated his son
by his first marriage with such cru
city, from his earliest childhood,
that the unhappy youth, now seven
teen years of age, has become imbe-
clle. The child never had a place
wherein to sleep, went about dressed
only in a linen shirt and trousers,
anu suffered the greatest extre mites
Of cold and hunger. He.was, besides,
exposed to constant personal ill-usage.
His father would, in his drunken
fits, throw logs of wood at him, or
tie his hands and feet and beat him
with a krotted stick. The mother
Of the poor boy was obliged, soon
after his birth, to leave her husband
on account Of the rough treatment
she experienced at his hands, and
died within brief period Of consump-
ton. The jury found Prince Uur-
SOW guilty, and the Court sentenced
him to the loss Of all princely rights
and privileges, and to residence of
three years in the government of
Jenissel. He is further forbidden
to leave Siberia for ten years.

TEACHING BY TOYS.

While carefully avoiding he mis-
take Of making play lesson, few
TOYS, If well selected, may impart
a vast amount of instruction, and

dergo any undue mental strain Il

a direct lesson on the principles Of
the bridge and the use lof the key
stone. Give him, however, box
of bricks capable Of making a bridge
with the centring, and show him
how to put it together, he will puz-
zle over it for days, try every sort
of arrangement, and unwittingly
become gradually and practically &C

chanical laws. Again, little mod

hours. They see the water poured
in; they remark that it is made to
boil, and soon has to be replenished;
they notice the action of the valves,
the piston, the crank, and all the
parts. When they come to study
the theoretical laws of steam and
machines, half the difficulty of their
first lessons vanishes. Reading|
may be taught entirely by means of
the various games and toys with
letters and words which are il COM
mon use. These toys depend for
their interest and attraction or the
way they are put before children.
With one teacher. they are. little
better than a dry spelling-book;
whereas with another. the finding
out of the diff rent letters, and the
placing them together like puzzle,
may interest a child for hours, dur

read and spell in. the best possible
manner, and in a way he is least

AN AGED POET.

q Mr. Bryant is now 70 years old,
and no other period Of his life has
been more prolific in compositions
of the highest order than the eighth
decade of time through which he is
now passing. But the most ex-
traordinary fact about this ex-
traordinary life is not only that its
productiveness has extended in reality
into extreme youth. We, have ex :
amples in literature of men like
Dryden, who bore his best fruit in
his last years; but OF him it must be
said that in his first years he bore no
fruit at all. Then, again, literature
IS full of the cases of men of precoc-
ious genius. who exhibited an as
tonishings intellectual splendor at
an early age, but whose powers
seemed to burn out in the process
and to conduct their possessor to
speedy death or to a later life Of
unimportance. But Bryant, who
excltes the admiration of this genera
ton by the marvel of his genius,
burning undimmed in old age, excit-
ed the admiration of our grandfathers
by the marvels Of his genius already
and radiant in his early
youth. AS far back as 1904, when
lie was but 10 years old, he publish
ed TRANSACTIONS from the Latin, poets. |
In 1907 he wrote an effective political
satire called The Embargo,'' which /
ran through two editions in few
months. The perfect POEM of Than
atopsis,'' VIII CHI may itself defy the
power which it celebrates, was writ
EN- when its author was only IS. A !
long literary life like this, that sheds
miraculous light at extremes-that +
is as glorious for the long preserva-
ton It's powers as IS for the precocity J
with which they were first manifested |
has an interest for us scarcely to |
be surpassed in the history OF letters.
1t is a noble privilege to add that the
literary activity Of Mr. Bryant, thus
astonishing for beginning SO early
and for continuing so late, forms but
one side of life which has been
strenuous in professional labors,
faithful and sweet in the privacies of
home and of friendship; alert in
attention to all the Duties of citizen
and which has from the first lent
itself only to what is pure, dignified
and humane IN society. -Chrastiana

AN AUSTRIAN FARMERS EN-
Isl PREPAYMENT. =

The special correspondent of the
Scientific American, United States
Commissioner Professor r. Ell,
Thurston, was lately invited, as one
of select company, to visit the cele-
brated farm Of Herr Ritter Horsky
Won Horckysfeld, in Bohemia, 200
miles from Vienna, to inspect the
methods and appliances of agricul-
ture as there practiced. A special
train conveyed the guests to Kolin,
where they were received by thei.
farmer host, whose farm is 5000
acres in extent, His plows, cultiva-
tors, seeders, threshers, harvesters
and other implements are numbered
by scores, and are operated by hand,
animals and steam power, according
to the nature of the work required or
the formation of the ground. The
yearly products of the farm, amount
to $4,000, and the amount invest
ed in machines and other improve
ments is $500 900. The proprietor
has, among other concerns upon the
farm, a beet sugar factory which cost
$3.50, 1000. Briefly, the process con-
sists IN macerating the beet in water,
which dissolyes out the sugar; lime
is then added, forming saccharate Of
lime; carbonic acid is then introduce
ed, which precipitates the lime, and
the saccharine liquid is then evapor-
ated in the usual manner.
n One of the features of the occasion
was a simultaneous trial of various
agricultural implements. At buglet
signal given by the host, a crowd of
operatives, boys, girls, men and NO
men, with asses, mules, cows, hor-l
ses and oxen, all started to work in
strips over the appointed field. The
scene was instructive and peculiar.
Herr Won Horckysfeld is ~ years
Of age, and is celebrated throughout
Austria for his success as an agri-
culturist. The excursion party num-
Oered 100 persons, and were, enter.
tanned wholly at the expense of the
farmer. sTrs<~> ~-

There has. recently been an inter-
esting discussion in the London
press between two prominent writer's
on agricultural matters-Mr. Mcchi
and Mr.. Charnock-as to whether it
is worth while for English farmers
to emigrate to the United States or
not. Mr.. Mechi took the affirmative
and Mr.. Charnock the opposition.
The discussion tooG wide range,
embracing not only our agriculture,
but politics, social customs, and the
several phases Of American society
Mr.. &Charnock sees nothing but
a blanh in all the American CONT
nent, and he considers that he has
proved his case by asserting that
1.-The soil Of Virginia and South
Carolina is Exhausted" Mr. Char
mock evidently has heard nothing
ofthe millions of acres { f virgin soil
in the west or of the Pacific slope.
Mr.. Mechi, however, met him on his
own ground, and quoted from the
published statistics of the British
Boardso Trade, making the follow
ing comparison: SIN 1871 the Uni
ted States, with population little
under thirty-nine millions and two
thousand millions Of acres, including
lakes, rivers and lands not cultivated,
had nearly sixty-seyen millions Of
acres under cereal crops, besides
about nine millions more under cot
ton, sugar and tobacco. England,
with a population of less than thir-
ty-two millions, and seventy-seven
million acres, had but eleven millions
with cereal craps. In live stock, as
in arabic land. America far exceeded
England in the value. There were
in England: Horses. 2,648,223:
cattle, 9,346, 216: sheep and lambs,
31,403, 500; pigs, 4,136, GIG; while
America had horses, 8,248, 800; cat
tie, 25'434, 100; sheep and lambs,
40, 1853, 900; and pigs, 26,751, 400"
Mr.. Mech demonstrated that the
wealth of the two countries is about
the same, namely: Thirty-six thou
sand million dollars for the United
|. States, and six thousand millions
sterling for England. Mr.. Mech
also touched the land question, and
pointed out how the Industrious far
mer may own his own land in Amer.
lea, while such thing is impossible
in England. The farmers themselves
appear to have faith in Mr.. Mechi, i
we may judge of the continuous sue
cession Of colonies which are leaving
England to settle in the western
States. The discussion cannot bu
prove Of advantage to us.

girls do talk about under the same cir

of being tired.
In the afternoon she begins dustinc
