When we see such revelations a have been
made in Washington during the past winter,
We are naturally forced TO conclude that these
must he but = small outcropping of the vast
harvest of corruption that ovcrspreads the
country. Every one feels a keen desire to get
at the facts Of this terrible and intensely in
teresting history. The author carries his
readers Behind the Scenes" OF the great pot-
teal drama Of our governmental life, and shows
us the actors who are charged with the most
vital interests Of the country, stripped of the
brilliant hues and attractions which partisan
admiration has thrown around them, and ex-
hibits them to us as they really are.
II is no mere scnsation-book, designed tn

gives plain and unvarnished history of the
Infamous Credit Mobilier affair. and makes
disclosures with which every citizen, OF what
ever party, should acquaint himself and which

To Make Boys Farmers.

We wish all of the fathers would heed
what the American AgricHlturist says;
Induce the boys to take a new interest
in the farm, In the implements, in the
stock; tell them all your plans, your sue
eesses and your failures; give them the
history of your life, and what you did, and
how you lived when boy, but do not harp
to much on the degenerate character of
young men of the present age praise them
when you can, and encourage them to do
still better. Let them dress up in the eve
ming, instead of sitting down in their dirty
clothes In dirty room. Provide plenty of
light. Thanks to kerosene, our country
homes can be brilliantly lighted as the gas
lit residences of the city. Encourage the
neighbors to drop in evenings. Talk ag-
rleulture rather than politics; speak of the
Importance of large crops, of good stock, of
liberal feeding, and of the advantage Of
making animals comfortable-rather than
ofthe harder times, low prices and high
wages. Above all, encourage the boy to
read good agricultural papers. Get him
some good agricultural books to study.
Read with him, and give him the benefit OF
your experience and criticism. When he
has mastered this, give him another. In
our own case, we owe our love for farm
ing principally to the fact that our father
told us Of everything that he was doing on
the farm; answering all the questions, and
encouraging rather then refusing our child
IKE desire Of helping him to plough, to
CROP 10 drain, as we'll as firing the brush

ming up" trees according to the old fash
ion, make them even, snug and symmetri-
cal. ,. lpstead of ring heavily In a
small circle at the foot Of the tree, spread
the manure. if needed at all, broadcast

spreading small circle about the stem.
cultivate the whole surface broadcast. t.
Prefer a well-pulverized clean surface in
an orchard, with moderately rich soil, TO
heavy manuring and a surface covered
with hard crust and weeds er grass. 3.
Remember 1t Is better to set out ten trees
with all the necessary care to make them
live and flourish than to set out hundred
trees and have them all die from careless
ness. 6. Remember that tobacco is a
poison, and will Kill insects rapidly If
properly applied to them. tits one ot the
best drugs for freeing trees rapidly of

than to make men repulsiye and diseased.

Health and Greatness.

1t is true there have been men who, des-
pite of frail, and miserable health. have done
immortal things. Great and heroic were

the weight of diseased and tortured body ;
of Nelson. little and lame; Of Charming
with his frail, clayey tabernacle; of the
pale Lawrence, weighing from day to day
the morsels Of bread which alone his dys-
peptic stomach could bear. 1t is true tina,
Julius Caesar was troubled with epilepsy.
and never planned great battle without
going into fits; that the great Suwarrow
stood but five feet one in his boots
that Pope was hnnchback and an invalid ;
and Aristotle was pigmy in body. though
giant in intellect. But these are brilliant
exceptions. which only prove the rule.
The general fact still remains that it is the
man Of tough and enduring fibre, or elastic
nerve, Of comprehensive digestion, who
does the great work of life. 1t is Scott,
with his manly form, it is Brougham, with
his superhuman powers of physical endur-
ance. 1t is Franklin, at the age Of seventy.

behold such spectacle as represented in
1868, at Neerwinded, in the Netherlands.
when, among the one hundred and twenty
thousand soldiers who were marshalled
under all the banners of Europe, the feeb-
lest in body were the hunchbaeked dwarf
who urged on the fiery onset Of France
and the asthmatic skeleton who covered
the slow retreat of England.

Cherry Trees.

Singular as it may seem, better results
