4 Story Of Ferranti.

4 little story is told of Ferranti, the
singer now with the De Murska troupe,
which, If not new, is at least good. He
was singing III Italian somewhere with
Parepa Rosa, and as he came forward
to take part with her in a duet, she re-
marked a disturbed expression on his
face. Not being able to speak to him,
she sung to the music of the opera,
"What Is the matter with you, my dear
friend" He caught the words at once,
and III the music of his own part, re-
sponded, ooh, madame on my back
here is d terrible hole" In the name
of Heaven" warbled she in response,
how came it there The learned au-
dience, meanwhile, were In ecstasies
over what they imagined was the height
of the composers musical poetry. q
tore it, answered Ferranti, con a nail
which stuck out, and nearly rent my
garment in two. ooh, you poor fellow, .
chirruped back the lady, "but don't, [
beg of you, turn around :" "wish Iwere
out of it :" and they went on with the
part.

RAPE SEED VS.. THIsTLEs.-A Berlin cor
respondent of Land and Water gives some in
formation that will be welcome to many
farmers "Who ever knew, says he, "of
two plants being SO inimical to one another as
one to kill the other by mere touch? This,
however, seems to be the case when rape
grows near the thistle.
" II a field is infested by thistles, give it a
turn of rape seed, and this plant will alto
gether starve, suifocate and chill the thstles
out of existence. A trial was being made
with different varieties of rape seed in square
plots, when it was found that the whole
ground was full Of thistles, and nobody be-
lieved in the rape having a fair run. But it
had, and as it grew the thistle vanished,
faded, turned gray, and dried up as soon as
the rape leaves began to touch it,"

MISCELLANY.
arsrs FOX THE SEASON.


One needs not be a physician to offer q few
suggestions bearing upon the Spring season
just opening that may be of use. In this eli
mate it is important not to make too sudden a
change in the matter Of apparel and especial
ly Undertaking. The temptation to do so is
almost irresistible. Wearied out with Winter,
people hail the deluding warm days of early
Spring as affording pretext and occasion for
unloading every article Of surplus cloth
ing. The men hasten to cast aside their over
coats and the women to put away their cloth
cioaks, substantial boots and shoes are
speedily discarded, aud colds, coughs and
other ailments naturally follow. One of the
oommonest mistakes in the Spring is made by
housekeepers whose experience should teach
them better We refer to the practice Of pre-
maturely abandoning fires, or letting them run
lJw. It is even more important to have fires
in the early mornings and in the evenings at
this season than i. the Winter time. The
frost is coming out of the ground, as the
phase goes aud theair Is charged with mois-
ture. Rooms get damp and unwholesome UNI
less the fires are kept up, and whore there are
young children it is of serious consequences
that dwellings, should be kept warm. To pre-
serve health it is important too that change
IN diet should follow the season as tdevelopes
towards Summer. Meats and other strong
food, particularly that containing fatty matter,
should be diminished and light vegetable
aliment substituted. By observing this sim
pie fact large proportion Of the bilious COM
plants peculiar to the United States would
be averted. Finally it is good general rule
to count on in this part Of the country that
the season does not undergo any radical
change warranting corresponding change in
clothing, diet and other sanitary arrangements
prior to the middle Of May. Up to this period
a reasonable degree of vigilant care must be
exercised as the price of sound health.
