Eyes of Different COIors.

A question in Hards1icke's Science Cos
SIP, as to whether the popularity of "eyes
of different colors !" was of frequent occur
renee, has called out in response the men
ton ofnumerous instances. One cOrrespon-
dent states that he once owned perfectly
white cat, which had one bright pink eye,
while the other was a very dark blue.
The animal was deaf. Another writer
owned cat with one green or yellowlsh-
gray eye, and the other clear. pale blue.
The green eye was blind. Several cases
of this phenomenon were brought forward,
but they were not confined to the feline
race. They were mentioned as OCCASION
ally occurring among dogs, horses, and
men. The case of a boy with one lovely
violet eye, and the other rich chestnut, u
was cited: as also the cases Of two men
having-the one yellow-gray eye, and a
dull, deep-blue oHe; and the other, rich
brown eye and a grayish blue one. In
these last instances the sight was perfect

TwEIsTH NiaHr.-Twelfth Day
January Gas all. Of course. know, is
the feast of the Epiphany. or the mani.
tessation OF Christ to the Gentiles, aud
is believed to be the anniversary of
that day when the three Wise Men
from the East were guided by o star to
where the infant Jesus lay. It is
thought it was first celebrated during
the reign OF Pope julius I. alb ,ut the
middle OF the fourth century, but it's
hrst recognition as separate feast oc-
curred A. y. 8l3. Primitive Christians
celebrated the Feast of the Nativity
twelve days. the first and last of the
series called the Greater and the Lesser
Epiphany. being observed with great
lsolemnity. Tradition named the three
Wise Men as three kings, and in honor
OF their memory many monarchs, on
Twelfth Day, have offered gold, frank
incense and myrrh at the altars of
churches. Later in history a drama
was enacted by three priests, arrayed
as kings, and the star in the East was
carried before them by novitiates Of
the church. In zloro modern times
the event was celebrated in Great Bri-
tain with q Twelfth Cake containing O
bean, which, when divided. crowned
the fortunate holder King or Queen of
the Feast. An incident is on record
in which Mary, Queen of Scots, ar
rayed femnle attendant. fortunate

royal robes OF Scotland. the account

Boxing the Ears.

There are several things very
commonly done which are extreme
ly injurious to the ear, and ought to
he carefully avoided. One of these
is the practice of boxing children's
ears. 1t is known that the passage
OF the ear is closed by thin mem
brane, especially adapted to be in
tiuenced by every pulse of the air,
and with nothing but the air to
support it internally. What, then,
can be more likely to injure this
membrane than a sudden and forci-
BILE compression Of the air in front
OF it II any one designed to
break or over stretch the membrane
a more efficient means could scarce
ly be devised than to bring the hand
suddenly and forcibly down upon
the passage of the ear, thus driving
the air violently before it, with no
possibility of its escape but by the
membrane giving away. Medical
authorities assert that many chill
dren are in this way made deaf by
boxing on the ear.--E.c.

THE FARM.


The Rural World says: The ques-
ton is often asked, when is the best
time to plant fruit trees! We an
swer that upon all soils suitable for
an orchard the fall is the best time.
The fall is a season Of comparative
leisure with the farmer, and ample
time is afforded him to prepare the
ground thoroughly, and to dig the
holes large size, and to do all the
work in the best manner In the
spring a thousand jobs are pressing
upon the farmer, all demanding his
immediate attention, and fruit trees
are the last to get it, when every
other crop would suffer less by the
delay. If a tree is planted in the
fall the earth becomes firmly settled
around the roots before spring; and
if the weather should prove warm in
February and March, as it frequently
does, young roots will be formed,
often three inches long, and if the
planting is delayed until spring, after
these roots have put out, they are
broken off and lost in the act OF re-
moval from the nursery, and conse-
qucntly so much of the vital energy
of the tree is lost in the effort Of ma
ture to repair the injury. If plant
ing is delayed until spring it is al
most always put off until late peri
cd, after tie buds have sweled out,
and many of the fibrous roots have
put out these. then become dried
and many of them are lost, and from
the dry weather that frequently fol-
lows, cause the death of thousands
of trees annually. In fall planting,
if the soil is dry and porous, as it
should be, the ground around the
trees may be left level, but if the
subsoil is of Il wet, retentive charac-
ter, the earth should be raised two or
three inches around the trunk Of the
tree, TO the full diameter Of the hole,
in order to turn the excess Of water
from the roots. Trees should not be
removed from the nursery until sutfi-
Gent frost has occurred to entirely
suspend vegetation, and the leaves
have mostly fallen.
