Manuring Strawberry Vines in Late
Autumn.

STRAWBERRY vines require some prOtec-
ton during our Northern winters. Al
though the growing plants need manure,
there Is danger of plling on SO much as to
damage the productiveness of the vines the
following season. The editor of the Ger
mantown Telegraph says that he has known
people to cover their strawberry beds with
manure, and find the whole completely
rotten in spring. Yet little covering
with the right kind of material is not q
bad thing. If the plants are entirely un-
protected the leaves are Drowned and often
destroyed; while it must have been noted
by every observant gardener that the best
fruit comes from plants that have managed
to keep their leaves bright and green till
their spring flowers appear. And this is
why covering of snow the whole winter
Is SO good for the strawberry crop. As
we have remarked, when the leaves are
Drowned the crop is small; but when the
snow covers the plants all the winter long
they come out in the spring in the best
possible state for fruitfulness. But we
cannot always depend on the snow. 1t
does not always come, or continue in a
regular way. So if some light material
can be put over the plants, that will not
smother and rot them and yet will be Just
enough to make shade from the winter
sun and a screen from frosty winds, 1t will
be doing good turn to the strawberry
plant. Manure is bad There is a salt in
it, especially when fresh, which is de-
structive to foliage; but clean straw, or
swamp or marsh hay that is free from
weeds, answers the purpose very we'll.
But it must not be put on very thick. The
idea is just enough to make a thin screen,
and yet not enough to hold moisture long
Shade without damp is the idea. Such
light protection is good for the strawberry
plant. Manure had better be applied next

An Incident.

Some weeks ago there arrived from
Washington Territory bachelor, consid-
erably endowed with this worlds goods.
In the lapse of time and after a due sur
vey of his trunk he became aware the
number of his white shirts was growing
small and beautifully less. He sought
the advice of friend, who informed him
a certain miss in this city was an adept at
shirt-making. He accordingly took his
order for six to be made, which in time
were duly finished. He took them to his
room; just the fit; never bought anything
like them. He went to the lady with this
simple proposition: "I'll give you eight
cen dollars or a share in my wealth: a
woman who can make as good shirts as
these shouldn't be single" 1t did not
take her long to decide which "horn of
the dilemma she would take, as she was
"posted" on his business very thorough
ly. The substance of it is she refused the
eighteen dollars and now is on her way to
Europe with her liege lord. Moral: If
any proposition like this is submitted to
any more single seamstresses let them fol-
low her example-though we think this
advice needless.-Oakland (C0l) Trans

Hearty Breakfasts.

In large majority of cases 1t will be
found that the best and healthiest meal of
the day should be eaten in the morning
If the closing repast of the day has not
been eaten too late, or has not been excess
i've in quantity or indigestible in quanti-
ty, the stomach will be rested and active
In the morning after the individual has
enjoyed q cool bath. The stomach will
then respond quickly with the necessary
gastric juice for the solution of food, and,
If fair amount of exercise is taken dur
ing the day, q large mass of food will be
assimilated and converted into blood and
tissue. With q good, substantial break
fast no great amount of food will be re-
guired during the remainder of the day.
One further meal will be ample, and that
might better be taken at from two to three
O'Clock in the afternoon than at any
period, If business engagements only per-
mitted it. The breakfast may be made
from any kind of wholesome food, and
the fewer kinds the better The dinner
should be light and readily digested, if
sound sleep is desired and strong appetite
and perfect powers of digestion next day.
If hunger comes, a bowl of sweet milk
other unbolted grain, will allay it, and
will digest quickly. One square meal"
in every twenty four hours is all that can
be taken care of by many weak stomachs,
and more than this is an excess and in
duces headache, nausea and distress. If
dinners were abandoned, especially late
and heavy dinners, myriads of dyspeptics
would be cured, but under the exigencies
of city life late dinner cannot be well
avoided. This need not be the tremendous
meal it is customary to make it if the
breakfast be substantial and nutritious,
and not a thing of Stops and biscuits, as it
too often is.-JouTnaI Of Health.

Fall Planting.

The question is often asked, When is the
best time to plant fruit trees? We answer
that upon all soils suitable for an orchard
the fall Is the best time. The fall is sea-
son of comparative leisure with the farmer
and ample time is afforded him to prepare
the ground thoroughly and to dig the
holes oflarge size and to prepare the work
in the most perfect manner. In the spring
thousand jobs are pressing upon the
farmer, all demanding his immediate at
tention, and the orchard is usually deferred
to the last, 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, as it frequently does, warm in Feb
ruary and March 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 removal from
the nursery, and consequently so much OF
the vital energy of the tree is lost in the
effort of nature to repair the injury.
If planting is delayed until spring it is
almost always put off until late period
after the buds have considerably swelled

Opium-Eating.

A NEW YORK correspondent of the
Troy Times says:
A very remarkable scene occurred at
the door of a leading drug establishment,
the principal feature in which was q
woman shrieking at the top of her voice,
and apparently going into Mysteries. The
crowd might have supposed her to have
been grossly wronged, but the proprietor
explained the matter by the statement that
all proceeded from his refusal to give her
a dose of morphine. The woman was q
confirmed opium eater, and spent in this
way all her money. She had come to beg
the article when she could no longer pur-
chase, and on being refused gave way to
her feelings in the manner above described.
She punished the dealer by getting up q
"scene." Large numbers of nervous Ia
dies in high station use opium to give
new life to their effete and exhausted
frames; perhaps the largest proportionate
consumption is among this class. They
prepare for the enjoyments of party or a
ball by the use of this stimulus, and when
it has brought the system to the acme they
shine with unusual brilliancy. The use
of stimulants as a preparation for social
enjoyments is prodigiOus, and in large
party perhaps one-half of the guests are
key ed up by opium or bourbon to a proper
state Of felicity. The reason why opium
is becoming more popular is because its
devotee need not incur the opprobrium
inseparable from the drunkard. He need
carry no bottle with him, and his breath
will not smell of liquor. His stock can
be put in his vest pocket, and can be used
imperceptibly to the world. Having these
advantages over fire-water we do not won
der at the increase of the former, and the
only reason why it does not become uni
versal as o substitute for alcoholic drinks
op imp nos erSup Of Soane
would not feel so much inclined to eat
opium together as they would to enjoy q

The Effects OF Paris Green.

In a recent paper read before the Mlchi-
gan State Board of Health DR.. r. G..
kedzie gives a detailed account of careful
experiments made by him during the past
year upon the use of Paris green in con-
nection with growing crops, and says he
has satisfied himself of the truth of the
following propositions
1. Paris green, being a deadly poison,
should be handled with extreme care. By
inhalation of the dust, by contact of the
material with sores or raw surfaces, and
even by contact with q moist or perspiring
surface, it may produce dangerous effects.
2. While classed as an insoluble sub
stance, Paris green becomes soluble to q
sensible degree by the action of what we
may term the natural nocturnal solvents,
carbonic acid, and the solvent action of
most active of these natural solvents.
3. Arsenious acid and arsenites in solu-
ton tend to pass into an insoluble condi-
ton in the soil in which arsenic is insolu-
BILE by the natural agricultural solvents.
4. While other agents may assist in fix
ing arsenious acid in the soil the hydrated
oxide of iron is probably the most potent
factor in producing this insoluble condi-
ton that enough of this oxide is present
larger amount of arsenic than would &C.
cumulate from the use of Paris green as
an insect poison.
5. Paris green mixed with soil does not
remain in this form or at least it cannot
be dissolved out of such soil by many
agents which readily dissolve the salt.
8. Paris green when applied in small
quantities does not seem to affect the
health of q potato or wheat plant. The
arsenic which it contains does not reap
pear in the tuber or the grain, and that
these substances are not injured as human
food by the small quantity of Paris green
required to free our fields from q most de-
structive insect foe.
z. The power of the soil to remove from
solution and hold in an insoluble form
arsenious acid and arsenites will protect
the water supply from deadly contamina-
ton by this agent unless the poison is
used in excess of any requirements as an
insect DESTROYER

OF the 100 900 inhabitants of Lapland
only about Is, 900 or 90 900 are Lapps Tin
their own language, SABINE or Sam, who
form q subdivision of the Finnic race.
They were originally inhabitants of Fin
land, but were gradually pushed by the
Firms farther north and west to their
present territory. According as they are
fishermen or reindeer herdsmen they are
distinguished as "Sea Lapps" and
Mountain Lapps," and either occupy
settled habitations or lead a nomadic life.
They are extremely small in stature, and
their hair is black and straight, present
ing great contrast to the tall and blond
Norweglans and Swedes. Their skin is
yellow, the forehead broad, the head
poised on a short and rounded neck, the
nose well formed, the cheek-bone pro-
truding, the chin pointed, the cheeks
hollow, and the lips straight and thin.
They are agile, but quickly exhausted by
labor, rather from bodily weakness than
laziness. They dress in furs, with trou-
sers and shoes of reindeer-skin. They
protect the head by means of sort of
cowl, but the Russian Lapps generally
wear fur caps with ear-covers. The
dwellings of the mountain Lapps are
small tents, consisting of a skeleton of
bent sticks, covered with a coarse cloth.
In the middle is q hole which serves as q
fue for the fireplace underneath. The
sea Lapps have better habitations, gen.
orally consisting of wooden huts, with sew
eral apartments. They live exclusively
tain of Russian tradesmen, is considered
delicacy. Polygamy, though not pro-
hibIted BY custom, is very rare on &C.
count of the high price which has to be
paid for women. The daughter of a rich
man costs sometimes as much as 100
reindeer, while poor girl is seldom sold
for less than twenty. The price is con-
sidered as a repayment of the expenses
incurred in bringing up daughter, and
also as q remuneration to the father for
losing her services. The Lapps have
been converted to Christianity, and be-
long to the Lutheran Church in Norway
and Sweden, and to the Greek Church in
Russia.-Appleton's american Cyclopedia.

Quick Time by Rail.

On Wednesday morning last three of the
head officers of the New York Central &
Hudson River Railroad appeared at the
Grand Central Depot after the morning
express, which left at eight a. m, had
been gone half an hour. On board that
train was the family of one of the railroad
men referred to, and he was very anxious
10 Join them. 1t was decided that the
train could be caught. The new locomo-
tive Monitor was backed up to the sta
ton, the gentlemen got on board, when
Mike Volk, the engineer, receiving the
signal, pulled the throttle and the little
Monitor started ON the chase. She sped
along the avenue at lively gait, and in q
jify rounded Spuyten Duyvil Junction
cab sat the railroad officers. The locomo-
tive was supplied with the noted vacuum
brake, the track by previous arrangement
was clear before her, and the pursuit of
the express had begun in earnest. She
passed Yonkers at the rate of forty miles
an hour. She whirled through Sing Sing
ct fifiy miles an hour, but that had to be
increased, and by the time she struck the
grade ct Montrose she was running a mile
but she had to run slow through Peek
skill, and there time was lost. When she
reached Duchess Junction more time was
lost because Of q freight train. Before the
drawbridge was reached the engineer
pulled out his watch and saw that in nine
minutes the express would leave Pough-
keepsie, which was eight miles distant.
The fresh IRE and lowered water had done
their work well, and the engine had full
head Of steam. Again the engineer pulled
the throttle and the ponderous wheels re-
spcnded. Flagmen and trackmen who
had been used to taking little time in
gstting out of the way of approaching
trains were astounded at the speed and
had To run for their lives. The locomotive
dashed by Barnegat like shot out a can
NON, and when she passed Milton Ferry,
before the station man could get out of his
door TO look at her, she was whirling
through the little tunnel a halfmile be-
yond, and in just exactly seven minutes
from the time of passing New Hamburger
station the anxious officer jumped from
the cab, and, bidding his companions
adieu, stepped on the hind car of the ex
press train lying at this station.-Pough

An English journal ON " American
English"

Chambers Journal. in an article on
American English" dilates upon our
national tendency to coin new words and
utter quaint and extravagant phrases.
New words" it says, "are formed every
day; when the American has seized upon
an expressive word he works it into half
a dozen forms and secures it a currency in
two or three parts of speech. From the
verbs to walk, to sing, ETC., we get walk
list, singist, shootist and half a dozen
others formed like pianist and lInguist.
Not satisfied with this last word American
sailors have heightened it into 'linguister,
an interpreter. Then we have such words
as to overture which means to propose;
to donate for to give q donation; and to
eventuate,' for to happen. To disremem-
ber' is to forget, and to out a candle is to
extinguish it. The love for abbreviation
has produced such forms as to RAIL- for
to travel by rail; and to cable news,
meaning to send 'cablegram,' or, as we
should say, a message by Atlantic cable.
Many words have nothing to recommend
them but a strange sound, as, for instance,
'splurge,' noisy demonstration, whence
the verb TO splurge,' meaning to boast
and swagger; and then the adjective
'splurging, and the adverb 'splurgingly.'
Merit always makes its way says trans
atlantic editor; sometimes quickly, often
slowly, but necer splurgingly'-a remark
in which we most heartily concur" 1t
informs the reader that a tendency for
violent expressions appears in our daily
speech. g A man is attacked and complete
ly defeated in the Legislature, and this is
reported by saying that he has been cat
awamptiously chawed up Il don't want
to swear says a conscientious man, ZOOS
it's wicked but if 1 didn't see him do it
may be teetotaciously chawed upp There
are many expressions like the last, for the
American seldom swears OUTRIGHT but
generally has recourse to those halfdis-
guised phrases which famous New York
preacher once denounced Is 'one-horse
OathS'n
