Practice and Science Agree.

SOMETIMES practice and science seem
to be at variance, but after while they
make it up and come to good under
standing. Practice has always said that
vegetable mold was good thing to have
in the soil, and that somehow or other
plants obtain great deal of nitrogenous
nourishment from it. The proof of it
was in the crops The gardener thought
the same, and his pot plants gave con.
vincing evidence of it. He has gone on
saving his leaf-mold and gathering it
where he could and putting his plants in
1t all the same, while the chemistO weIe
proving TO their satisfaction that humus
did not amount to much, and even have
seemed to prove that fertile garden
soil has little, if any, more power than so
much sand to supply plants with nitro
gen" They could not find that the com.
bined nitrogen ever got into the form of
ammonia or nitrates. AT last it has oc.
Cured to one of the chemists, of prac-
tical turn of mind, to test the matter by
growing plants in pots, in the gardeners
way, supplying them with different
quantities of vegetable mold and with.
holding it from others OF the same sorts,
and then chemically analyzing the plant
to see what 1t had got. This has been
done by Prof StOrer, and full account
of the result will be found in the
last (third) part of the Bulletin of
the Bussey Institution. 1t comes out
clear that plants do get deal of
nitrogenOus food from vegetable mold,
Just as the practical people thought !;
although how 1t comes about still pus
zles the chemists. An important paper
by MIR. Armsby, of the Sheffield School,
discussed last summer at the Hartford
meeting of the American Association,
comes to the same upshet, finds the gain
unequivocal, but yet cannot trace it
into the form either Of nitric acid or am
monia of course vegetable mold will
not do everything, and good farming can
be carried on without it when artificial
fertilizers can be had, and its powers
may sometimes be greatly enhanced by
the proper additions. But vegetable
mold, especially in cool climates, where
it most accumulates, and where also it
is more useful than in warm climates, is
store that nature has been an immense
while In gathering. and which it costs
nothing to use. Now, after hearing it
deprecated by the chemists of late
years, 1t is pleasant to see one of them
come to the conclusion: "There can be
little doubt that, for the present support
OF agricultural crops, the vast stores of
vegetable mold that have accumulated
in the soil through the decay of many
generations Of plants constitute more
abundant and more important source of
nitrogenized plant food than any other"

few minutes and the pig would get away
as far as possible from his tormentors.
But no sooner did the poor animal settle
down TO a cabbage leaf than the horses
would be at him again, driving him
about and putting him in such state of
perturbation by chasing him from diff.
ferent directions that he had not the
least idea where to run so as TO escape
his tormentors.
Many Of the lower animals not only
show their playfulness in such tricks as
those which have been mentioned, hut
are able to appreciate and take part in
the games played by children. When /
was q boy knew a little dog, King
Charles spaniel, which was an accom-.
plished player at the well-known game
called tag or touch. The little animal
displayed quite as much enthusiasm as
any of the human players, and woUld
dart away from the boy who happened
to be "touch" with an anxiety that al
most appeared TO be terror. Of course
to touch the dog was an impossibility !;
but he was generous little creature,
with strong sense of justice, aud so
when he thought that his turn ought to
come he stood still and waited quietly TO
be touched. His mode of touching his
playfellows was always by graspiDg the
end of their trowsers in his teeth; and as
1t was impossible for the boy to stop
when so seized in full course the dog
often got jerked along the ground for
some little distance.
A lady told me lately that when q girl
she had a pony which would play hide
and.seek with the children. Hiding was
necessarily only pretense on the part of
the pony; but the animal would go to
some corner, hide its head, and make be-
lieve that it was entirely concealed.
Hide-and.seek seems to be game
which can be learned and enjoyed by
many animals. One of my correspond
ents has sent me an account Of favor
ite cat which was an adept in the game.
She was white cat with yellow eyes,
and went by the name of DAISY She
was given, when quite little kitten, to
her mistress, who was then q young
child, and the two became inseparable
companions, joining in their sports, one
of which was hide-and.seek.
One of the most curious points in this
animal was that when she became a cat
and had kitten of her own she taught
her young one the game which she had
learned from her mistress, importing in
to the game an element which have
over and over again seen in the same
game when played by children. The
kitten went and hid itself, or rather pre-.
tended TO hide, and the mother went in
search Of it. She would pretend not to
see the kitten, and pass close to its hid.
ing place. Then, as if startled, she
would spring back, the kitten would Jump
out at her. and the two would rush about
in high glCe.-Ha1per's Weekly.

Court Manners in Japan.

CHEvALTER Won SCHAFER, late Director
of the Austro-H Hungarian Chancellery in
London, has recently had an audience of
the Mikado, in his new capacity of Min
ister.Resident in Japan, and the Vienna
Abendpost gives an amusing account of
.the proceedings on this occasion. The
japanese court has, it appears, under
the influence of European civilization,
abandoned all the Oriental magnificence
which formerly characterized the recep-
tion OF a foreign ambassador, and the
ceremony is now marked by a simplicity
even greater than that which prevails in
many European courts. The Minister
and his suite were conveyed in carriages,
but without any military escort, to the
palace, which was guarded by only two
sentinels, who presented arms on their
arrival. On entering the palace six
chamberlains in black dress-coats ush-
cred them into the waiting-room, which
was furnished in the European style,
with black marble mantelpiece, sur.
mounted by looking-gl in a plain
frame, chairs and tables and a Brussels
carpet. The Lord Chamberlain and the
Vice-Minister then led Herr Won Schafer
into the audience-chamber- large hall
divided into three partitions by two par
allel glass walls. The Mikado, a some.
what tall, slim young man, looking older
than his age, and clad in a rich uniform
similar to that OF Frencn Field Mar
shal, stood in the center compart-
ment, in front of a plain arm
chair, which apparently did service for a
throne. He received the deputation
graciously, gently rubbing his hands and
smiling whenever a particularly well
turned compliment was addressed to
him by the Minister in the course of his
speech. The Mikado read his reply,
which was much the same as that of a
European monarch would have been un-
der similar circumstances, and then dis
missed his visitors with gracious
nod" Shortly after the Minister was ad-
mitted to an audience of the Empress.
She stood in the same partition as the
Mikado had previously occupied, and
leaned against the same armchair. The
MikadO, however, was alone, while the
Empress was accompanied by three of
her ladies of honor, who stood with a
paper umbrella in the partition on her
left. She was dressed in wide trousers
of deep red silk, which entirely covered
her feet, an upper dress of the same stuff
and white silk underdress, with WIDE
sleeves reaching almost to the ground.
On her shoulders was "a violet mantle
embroidered with flowers in gold and
broad red sash was folded severed times
around her body. Her hair was combed
upward over very high pad, whence it
hung down on her back, and she wore on
her head a magnificent diadem worked
in gold and silver, representing cranes
carrying flowers. She held in her hand
huge fan covered with gold brocade
stuff. The Empress expressed much in
terest in the hunting expeditions of the
Empress of Austria, the Japanese being
also much addicted to the pleasures of
the chase.-PdH NAL Gazette.

LOOK UP, AND PBRsEVKRE.

SHOULD sorrows gate be open wide
And on us pour flood;
Should hopes we cherish withered lie
Ere they begin TO bud;
should clouds upon our pathway rise
And all seem dark aud drcar,
Our motto In that hour should be,
Look up, and pcrsevcrc,n
Remember, II the night came not
To make more bright the morn,
We could not hail with untold Joy
The coming Of the dawn,
And II our life was but one scene
or pure, unending bliss,
We might grow weak upon our way,
And live our time amiss,
Useless indeed rcpinings are,
They but increase our pain,
The nobler plan is, when we fail,
To rise and try again.
No matter how the storm may rage,
Let love fabric rear,
And, as we gaze, our cry shall be,
Look up, and pcrsevcrc."

by allowing little to cool. Too long
