of the time when Neddie made his first at

1t was not long before another little
wren made his appearance, and before an

about in the tree, and the old wrens were
bringing them food.
After two or three dsysI saw no more of
the young wrens. They probably went out
into the world to look out for themselves.
The old birds went to work and tore the
old nest apart, throwing out the material

another brood.

MELON SUGAR.

The manufacture of sugar from melons
is about to be established near San Fran
cisco. The superiority of melons to beets
for the manufacture Of sugar is said to be
conclusively proven, and already a COM
papy has been formed and land purchased
on Andras Island, where the manufacture
will be commenced in a short time. Water
melons are to be used principally, the
cost both of raising and reducing them being
much less than any other class of melons
or fruit suitable for the purpose. Besides
producing sugar the melon is said to give
q delicious eyrup, while the seed will be
used for the maRufacture of table oil.
Regarding the superiority sOf the melon

A LIGHTHOUSE BUILT UNDER Difficult
TIEs.-A celebrated French lighthouse is
that of Feaux de Brehat, recent erection,
based upon hugh and treacherous por.
phyry rock, for ages a terror to every sea-
man who approached the Brittany coast.
Its architect had to encounter every
species of obstacle during his work,
but, above all, incessant races and eddies
of the sea among the neighboring sand
banks. The foundations had to be sought
for far beneath low water; an artificial
port had to be created the necessary stone
work was hewn and shaped on the Island
of Brehat, seven miles distant. Even
when the foundations had appeared above
the water, the lower walls of the lower
story were submerged twice a day, leaving
heavy deposits of marine plants, shell, and
seaweed. The workmen lived in huts pom
a reef to which they retired when the tide
rose and thus they pushed on their Iabors,
quarrying and squariDg at enc time, ar
ranging aud fixing at another. Theirs was a
masonry almost WithOu mortar. The blocks
were grooved and literally dovetaiied to-
gether, the course being coRnected, as it
were, by cogs, so that every part relied upon
every other, the result being as nearly as
possible, an absolute cohesion. In spite
of this happy issue, the reporting architects
would not recommend similar experiments

THE SOUTH FOR GRAz1NG.-Dr. A. C.
Stevenson, of Indiana, President of the
American Association of Cattle Breeders,
writes to the National Live Stock Journal
from McComb City, Miss., that he looks up
ON the South as being one of the best
grazing countries known. He is utterly
surprised to see 80 much attention given to
cotton and SO little to milk and beef
producing stock. Steers for the butchers
can, he Gays, be raised much cheaper in
Mississippi than in Illinois or Iowa. They
caH be made grass fat and shipped to mar
ket several weeks before grass fed cattle
can go to the market from the West, and
therefore get the best spring mark, and
come in competition with corn fed cattle.
Short horn bulls would do we'll if crossed
upon the native cows. There is constant
demand for good beef in the State, to cay
nothing of the great markets of the
country. Mr.. Stevenson, after look ing the
field carefully over, says good grass far
mer "cOuld make one hundred per cent.
upon his purchases by buying native steers
aud putting them on good pastures and
selling them to the butchers here" This
is the verdict of man who thoroughly
understa nds what he is talking about. It
is ditiiculr To comprehend why a namber of
the planters of the South do not turn their
attention from cotton, which is an uncer-
tain crop, to grazing for the beef market,
with tho prospective of one hundred per
cent. reward before them.

FLOWERS At FUNERALS.
IN. Y. Paper 1


A father who had lost q child lately, ap-
pended to the published notice of the death
the following words: " Friends are re-
quested not to send flowers" 1t was a
seneib!e protest against a custom which
has grown to be offensive. OF late years,
when funeral is to occur in a family of
wealth OF soc al consideration, or of per
son distinguished or highly esteemed, the
dwelling wherein lies the inanimate body
awaiting it's transfer to the tomb is loaded
with flowers, sent by sympathizing or os
tentatious friends. The coffio lies on a
bank of exotics and is covered with floral
structures, to the building of which flow
ers are not adapted. Great pillars of
and other artificial devices are strewed
about and the air is heavy with perfume.
This profusion and artificiality offend
good taste and have no symbolic or other
reason to justify them. Type of immortal
lty are proper, and so emblems of mu
liability but one little wreath is more i'm
pressive than the whole stock of all the
foriculturists of New York. Death is SO
serious thing that any mere display in
its presence is intolerable to all healthy
minds.
NJ recover, it is not pleasant to associate
with dissolution the beauty and perfume
of flowers, as one must who enters "a house
of mourning and finds it bower of fra
grant cameilias, which appeal to the sense
and take the thoughts off the solemn sig
nificance of the occasion. The distortion
of nature in the presence of death involved
in the unbeautiful floral constructions is
especially disagreeable.
This bad taste was carried to an extreme
at the funeral of the late Mr.. Stewart, and
at that of the late Barney Williams.
