Science as Means of Culture.

THAT science is worthy of endowment
will be admitted by every one competent
to form an opinion. Yet I would remark,
at the outset, that the reasons sometimes
advanced by students of science in support
OF this proposition are not of the worthiest,
though they may be those best calculated
to secure the alliance of the unscientific.
Even Tyndall has spoken of science as
though its chief value resided in its quail
ity as "asource of individual and national
might" and many have dwelt on its value
as means of adding to material wealth
1t would be affectation to contemn such
considerations, but assuredly they do not
present the noblest qualities of science, the
chief good which science is competent to
work. 1t is as potent means of culture
that science is worthiest of its recognition.
The material gain derived from scientific
research has no doubt been great; but it
has been intellectually surpassed in value
by the change which science has worked
and is working in the minds of men. 1t
is, indeed, precisely in this respect that
scientific persons most completely misap-
prehend the work which science is doing.
They attach special value to those things
which science is silently but certain iy dis
placing. They are panied by tie light
which science is pouring on objects that
had seemed venerable so long rs their dc.
fects had been yelled under TIE yioom of
ignorance. They are appalled, when
science would teach them to displace all
false loyalties by the noblest loyalty of all
loyalty to the truth. But the student of
science can deal with such errors as he
would deal with errors of observation or
with Enthusiastically experiments. He is
not concerned to war against them. To
be angry with them would be as unscien-
tific as to be angry with gravitation. The
true teachings of science will be recog-
nized in due time-with results foretold.

CuItivating and Trimming Apple Trees.

For two or three years we have been
trying some experiments ON cultivating
and manuring apple trees at different
distances from the trunk. Only d gen
eral brief statement can be given here
Trees which stood in grass and had small
circles about them, kept clean and well
cultivated did not seem to be benefited,
even when the space about the tree was
titled eight or ten feet each way with
trees fifteen years old. The trees APP
growth, the same as those in grass with
no culture. Other trees which stood in
patch of grass, each tree in the center
of a sixteenfoot grass plot, and cult
waited well beyond the grass every way
did apparently as well as those with
clean culture everywhere about them.
Piling manure close about a large tree
is like trying to feed a horse by tying
hay to his sides instead of before his
mouth.) 1t is too soon to draw conclu-
sions, but it SO far seems to be unncces-
sary to cultivate closely to trees to make
them grow well. know from observa-
ton that most of the best working roots
of an old appletree are out under the
ends of the longest limbs and beyond
them. The manuring at different dis
tances about the trees has not shown
much effect yet.
The trees are moderately trimmed
every spring, and young shoots rubbed
off as they appear on the large limbs
during summer. No limbs are removed
which are more than one inch in diane
ter, unless they have died previously.
Two years ago the cold winter injured
severely some of the tender varieties, as
Sweet Bough, Jersey Swee. and Baldwin.
Some of these were heavily cut back
some were let alone, and others moder-
ately trimmed. The results are decided
ly against heavily cutting back.
Other experiments with striking and
positive results have been tried. Many
people all over the country are trying the
same, and have been for many years, all
with the same results. They are as fol
lows: Young trees are set in thick sod
with only little space dug about them
or they are set in land which is often
soaked with water for weeks together.
They will never amount to anything. 1t
is a labor thrown away. 1t needs no

A Rcminiscence of the Indian Mutiny.

A CASE which recently came before the
HIGH Court at Calcutta recalls some Of
the earlier horrors of the Indian mutiny.
During the months of June and July, 1851,
the Twelfth Irregular Cavalry, which had
been raised and was commanded by Maj.
Holmes, took an active part in the preser-
vatlon of feace in North Behar and en-
ioycd the confidence Of its commander,
But one evening as Maj. Holmes and his
wife were driving in buggy some three
or four miles from the lines they saw Dahl
Khan, the dufladar of the regiment and
four or five troopers ride up. The Major
asked them why they were there and
armed instead of attending to their duty.
The duffadar answered with some foul
abuse, and, with the assistance of the
troopers, murdered his commanding of
ficer and Mrs. Holmes, cutting off both
their heads. The head and body of the
lady were thrown into ditch, as was also
the body of her husband. His head, how
ever, was carried by the miscreants to the
lines and displayed to the regiment, which
was then, with the exception of some sixty
men who remained faithful marched off
by Dahl Khan to Lucknow. After the
suppression of the mutiny Dahl Khan
took refuge in Lucknow. Trusting, APP
parently, that eighteen years had suiliced
to eiface the memory Of his crime he lately
vcnturcd to return to his native village,
He was recognized, arrested and tried.
All the witnesses were still alive and their
tales corrcspontcd exactly with the stories
told by them at a preliminary inquiry held
while the affair was yet fresh in their
minds. An old woman had been spoken
to by Mrs. Holmes a few minutes before
the murderers rode up and she gave a most
graphic description of the tragedy. The
Judge of Sarun sentenced the prisoner to
death, and when the case came up to the
High Court for the confirmation which
the Indian code requires for capital sen.
fences there could be no doubt or hesita.

words of the presiding Judge, the "mur,

short of the extreme penalty of the law
would satisfy the ends Of justice. "-Londo,l

A MALE convict at Cayenne obtained
permission to marry female convict; but
as the man was a widower the Governor
declared it was necessary first to obtain
the certificate of the death of his first wife
A communication was addressed to the
authorities but without any reply. The
convict insisting that the ceremony should
no longer be delayed, the Governor said ::
" But what is there to prove that your first
wife is dead" The reply Of the convict
was tolerably satisfactory on this point:
"Why," he said, Pm here for having
assassinated her."

Longevity in philadelphia.

DURING the first six months of 1875 the
deaths announced in the obituary columns
of the Philadelphia Ledger of persons who
have lived to or beyond the advanced age
of eighty years numbered 36S, of whom
155 were men and 231 women. During
the corresponding year of 1874 the deaths
were similarly recorded of ia men and 16S
women, total of 2S2 The female octo-
genarians outnumbered the males by
large percentage A further analysis
shows that the women who lived beyond
ninety are much more numerous than the
men, while five women and three men cx-
