The Jubilee exercises at st. Joseph's Church
|uring the past week were attended by i'm
|ense crowds and, Judging from the large
lumber of communicates at each of the several
Leases every morning, have been productive
great good. Every, evening during the
Feek Rev. T. j. Abbot, C. NJ, preached, the
hurch on each occasion being crowded to its
|tmost capacity, not only the pews but even
he aisles being filed. Father Abbot, whose
bputation as an earnest and practical speaker
BID created high expectations on the part of
be faithful, excelled himself in this series of
|ermons. From many mind did his clear ex-
|1anations dispel the shades of ignorance and
|oubt, many heart was touched by his
|loquent appeals, and many a soul, walking in
reaeherous security, was awakened to sense
|f it's danger and the necessity of immediate
|efoEm. Truly season of grace and year of
Jubilee has this been to the people of st.
Eoseph's.

fertilizers or not: and we have vet to find
soil rich enough to produce cultivated
plants that did not also produce the ever
accompanying pests.
In the hurry of spring work the prepa-
ton of the ground to be used for vegeta-
bles is very likely to be slighted; and once
blowing is ali that il gets, although two or
three would be labor well spent The
manure should be applied early, and if in
time to have the spring rains carry the
liquid parts into the soil so much the bet
ter; then pillow under as soon as the
ground il dry enough to work readily.
Harrow and cross pillow, then harrow
again just before commencing to sow seed
or set out plants. Twice blowing and two
or three harrowings will insure a pretty
thorough distribution of the manure APP
piled, as well as pulyerization, without
which good results cannot be secured.
Clay soils which do not readily break
down under the harrow should be rolled
in order to crush the Jumps and make the
surface friable; in fact, the more time
spent in preparing the land for a crop, the
less win be required in after culture; be-
sides, it is much easier TO do 1t with a
team than by hand labor.
If roots are to be grown for stock, such
as carrots and turnips, which are or can be
sown later in the season, the land should
be prepared, or at least a commencement
made, early, permitting the weed seeds
near the surface to start, as they generally
will; then harrow and destroy them be
fore putting in the crop. If land intended
for late turnips can be manured and
plowed in spring, and then kept under
cultivation until summer, it viii he all the
better for this extra preparation
Now, 10 sum up this subject of vegeta-
BILE culture, we may put the causes of fail
ure under the following heads: l. A poor
soil; 2. Want of thorough preparation
before putting in the seed; 3. Neglect in
the culture of the crop; A. Poor seed and
! unfavorable season. But the two latter
are not frequent occurrences.-RgraI Neao

The Antarctic Sea.BOttOm.

The observations which have been de.
tailed leave no doubt that the antarctic
sea bottom, from little to the south OF
the fiftieth parallel as far as eighty degrees
south, is being covered by fine deposit
of silicious mud, more or less mixed, in
some parts, with the ice-borne debris OF
polar lands and with the elections of vol
canoes. The silicious particles which
constitute this mud are derived, in part
from the diatomaceous plants and radio
larian animals which throng the surface
and, in part, from the spicula of sponges
which live at the bottom. The evidence
respecting the corresponding arctic area Is
less complete, but it is sufficient to justify
the conclusion that an essentially similar
silicious cap is being formed around the
northern pole.
There is no doubt that the constituent
particles of this mud may agglomerate
into a dense rock, such as that formed a
Oran, on the shores of the Mediterranean
which is made up of similar materials
Moreover, in the case of fresh-water de.
posts of this kind it is certain that the &C.
ton of percolating water may convert the
originally soft and friable, fine grained
sandstone into a dense semi transparent
opaline stone, the silicious organized skel
etons being dissolved and the slick rede
posted in an amorphous state. Whether
such a metamorphosis as this occurs in
submarine deposits as well as in those
formed in fresh water does not appear
but there seems no reason to doubt that II
may. And hence it may not be hazardous
to conclude that very ordinary metamor
phic agencies may convert these polar
caps into form of quartzite. -Prof. Hur
| Ley in PoDatlar Science HonthlV.

Giants and Dwarfs.

A paragraph is going the rounds of the
daily press, rehearsing the names of
many eminent men who have shown
extraordinary energy in war and politics
as being short rather than tall, which has
suggested the subject of this brief sketch
Napoleon was quite short. only about five
feet four inches: Nelson was very small.
and Wellington hardly five feet eight
inches in height. Peter the Great was quite
a short man; Louis the Fourteenth was a
pigmy in body, always dressing to appear
taller than he really was; William the
Third was also far below the ordinary size;
while his opponent, Luxembourg, was a
dwarf.
In ancient records we read of some
famous though diminutive people, among
the extreme of whom was Philetas, the
poet, contemporary with Hippocrates, and
who was obliged to ballast himself to
avoid being blown away by the wind; also
of a famous Egyptian dwarf named Calls
tuS, who at the age of twenty-five did not
weigh more than fat partridge; and lastly
of another poet, Aristratus, Of whom it
was said that his stature was so small no
one could see him, In more modern times
there was Sir Godfrey Hudson, who at
the age of thirty was but eighteen inches
high. Count Joseph Borowlaski at twenty
years of age measured two feet four
inches, though at thirty years he
grew TO three feet three inches Nicholas
Ferry was another celebrated dwarf
weighing less than one pound when born.
but at twenty years had grown to the
height of twenty-five inches. and died at
twenty three years. Prince Colobri. a
Slesvig dwarf, was under twentv-six
inches. There is Dutch Tom
Thumb now living about the same
height.
Giants are rarer occurrences than dwarfs
and statistics show that they are not so
long-lixed. Bryne. a famous Irish giant
who died in London some years since.
measured eight feet two inches Cornelius
Magrath, also well known in England,
measured seven feet eight inches. Ed.
ward Malone, another Irishman. was
seven feet seven inches, the same stature
as Daniel Cartlamus, a Swedish giant. A
skeleton dug up in Roman camp al St.
Adams, England, was eight feet four
inches, and must have been more in life
Goliath of Gath, according to Biblical
writers, measured eleven feet in height
and Maximinius. the Emperor, was fully
nine feet in height. There has within~a

Harvesting Ants.

The curious provision of nature, or (if
Darwin will have his wayl the curious
pass to which the developmental forces
will take up the animal kingdom, in the
protection of species, may be seen in the
history of the A" Harvesting Ants of
Europe The males and females have
wings; the workers (neuters) have none.
Lizards frequently attack the winged ants,
but keep clear of the workers, the latter
protecting the winged ones by surround
ing them so that the lizards only catch an
occasional straggler outside the lines.
Certain large beetles, known as tiger
beetles, often attack the workers, but only
when they can pounce upon straggler,
and then only when they can seize him just
behind the neck. If they get hold of him
here he is at their mercy but if they fail
in this they let go and run, for if the ant
once grasps the legs of the beetle it never
lets go, not even after DEATH This genera
of ants are also supplied with proportion
of I" soldiers''-ants that, while belonging
10 the class of workers, have large heads
and huge jaws and very small bodies.
They are useful only in fighting dar gerous
enemies

About the Vegetable Garden.

Excellent quality in vegetables can only
be secured through rapid growth. Taking
this as a basis of operation, the necessity
of a rich, congenial soil becomes apparent
even to those who have had no experience
in the culture of the various kinds in our
gardens. Tough, stringy beets, bitter,
leathery lettuce, and slender stem aspara-
gus are pretty sure signs of poor soil or
great neglect in culture. For the first
few years a newly-cleared and fertile soil
may not require manure; but the richest
sand soon shows signs of deterioration if
constantly cultivated and no additions of
fertilizers are made to it, as is usual in.
newly-settled portions of the country.
1t is always better to apply all kinds of
coarse manure, such as obtained from the
barnyard, 10 the vegetable garden in au-
tumn; but if one does not have it at that
time, and can supply the deficiency in
spring, then an early application
is preferable to a late one The
manure thrown out from the stable
during the winter is usually quite
coarse, containing more or less straw,
corn stalks and similar materials,
which are of little value as fertilizers until
thoroughly decomposed; besides, if the at
tempt is made to incorporate them with
eA3S SUI. tfN. AAAtttANAN AAiNie - -
with the proper preparation of the land as
required for the smaller kinds OF seeds.
The best way to avoid such an inconven-
fence is to fork over the manure in the
barn-yards as soon as the weather viii per-
nit in spring, separating the finer portions
from the coarse. placing the two kinds in
heaps, each by itself The first can then
be used for the vegetable garden or other
crops to which it is best adapted, employ

A Natural Mathematician.

Mr.. Edward H. Coursey, of Piney
Neck, was born in 1194, and is now, con
sequently, eighty-one years of age. Mr.
Coursey is a remarkable man. Figure:
are mere playthings for him. He car
solve the most difficult problem, and has
yet to find sum he cannot get the correc
answer TO. His talent for figures is entire
ly natural, never having attended school
as much as year in his life. He does
his sums not by any arithmetical rules
but by rules of his own, but always gets
the answer correct. He has made, too
somewhat of reputation, and receives
sums through mail from almost every
State in the Union, which he works and
answers by mail. He is quite notorious
also, for the difficult sums he puts &c
others, and particularly the schoolmasters
whom he especially delights to puzzle
His latest is as follows: A farmer hav
ing twelve bitches to cut, of different
lengths, employs four men to do the work
To the first he agrees TO pay 81 per rod
to the second, $1.25 per rod; to the third
S1.15 per rod, and to the fourth, 50. 1881
per rod. When they finish the bitches
and come TO be paid off, each man receives
the same amount of money for each ditch
How many rods did each man cut in eacl
ditch; how much money did each man re
ceive for each ditch; how long was each
ditch, and how much did it cost per rod tt
have the bitches cut :''-Caateroilie Nd
