A Beautiful Experiment.

A French horticultural, in studying
the physiology of the vegetable kingdom,
nceived that the smallness of certain
plants violet, for example-was
owing to an atmospheric pressure too
great for its delicate organs. Having
carefully resolved this idea into form, he
determined to test the correctness OF it by
some satisfactory experiment. After not
9little calculation, he at last hit upon the
possible and probably only means by
which he might illustrate his new theory.
He prepared small balloon of as light
material as was consistent with the
necessary quality of durability, and this
he made perfectly tight, SO as to prevent
the escape Of any gas, with which he
filled it. To this he attached strong
silken cord 1900 meters long, or say
1000 feet. Attached to the balloon, in
place of basket, was a pot of earth, in
which were planted Parma violets Just
springing from the root.
The result has been wonderful. In the
thin air which the delicate violets
breathed at that height-for flowers do
breathe in their own delicate way-they
throve marvelously, the blossoms en-
larging to five times the size attained at
the level of the earth's surface. This
beautiful experiment, after about two
months of judicious trial, rewarded the
ingenious and scientific horticulturist by
presenting him with violets as large as
Bengal roses, something probably never
before seen on earth. The idea naturally
suggests itself of sending up some of our
human baby violets. Might not our
children be thus transformed into giants +?

It seems that the memory of this woman,
like that of her renowned husband, is likely
to be kept alive to the end of time. She is
said to have possessed very irritable tenn
per, and her name has become synonym of
"vixcn," or "scold." 1t is more than pos
upon her by mankind has been too severe.
A more charitable disposition would I'M
doubtcdly have discovered in her, many good
qualities, and nave attributed her fuiings
more to physical infirmitios than to moral
obliquity. The party most intimately &C
quainted with her, and therefore best able
to form correct opinion, gives her credit
known hat many of the diseases to which
women are subject, have direct tendency
to render them irritable, peevish, cross, mo-
rose, unreasonable, so that they chafe and
fret over all those little ills and annoyanccs
that person in health would bear with CON-
posure. 1t is fair to infer that most of the
tantrums of Xantippe were due to these
causes alone; and could Socrates, as he re-
turned from the Senate, the Gymnasium, or
the Atheneum, have stopped at Pcstle &
MOrtar's Drug Store and carried home q
bottle Of DR.. Picrces Favorite Prescription,
now and then, no doubt he might have
evaded many "curtain lecture" allayed
many domestic broil,' made it much
plcasantcr for the children, and more enjoy
able for himself, and rescued his wife's name
from the uncnviable, world wide, and cter-
nal notoriety it has attained. Thousands of
women bless the day on which DR.. Picrcc's
Favoritc Prescription was first made known
to them. A single bottle often gives delicate
and suffering women more relief than months
of treatment from their family physician.
In all those arrangements causing backachc,
dragging down sensations, nervous and gen.
eral debility, 1t Is a sovereign remedy. Its
soothing and healing properties render it of
the utmost value to ladies suffering from in
ternal fever, congestion, Inflammation, or
liberation, and its Strengthening effects tend
to correct displacements Of internal parts,

Manufacturing the Scalps Of Wild An
finals.

The very large sums of money paid by
the authorities of Blair and other counties
in the mountainous regions of the State,
for scalps of wild animals the past year,
has caused an investigation, which has
revealed we'll devised and carefully ex-
ecuted method of defraudihg the treasury.
In one instance in Blair County the skin
of a colt, which had died. was taken and
deity cut up and manufactured into ears,
and palmed off upon unsuspecting JUS
tees as those of veritable fox. In an
other case real fox skin was converted
into ears and made to answer for large
number of Reynards. The hide of black
cat was utilized and enlarged to represent
any number of skunks, while fox ears
were split up to do double duty. One
family of pseudo Nimrods, it is alleged,
has drawn from the County Treasury,
since LIST of January, 81 900. Some eight
cen or twenty warrants have been issued
for the arrest of the persons engaged in
this nefarious business, some of whom
have already been arrested and lodged in
Jail. The officers of the law are still in
pursuit Of others, with strong hopes Of
their capture. An information before a
justice of the peace shows that in one
township since Jan. 1, 81, 450 has been
paid on scalps, three-fourths of which was
to one family.-Pittsbusgh Pay Dispatch.

African Rubber.

The coast region north and south of the
Congo is becoming quite an important
source of caoutchOuc It is produced BY
giant tree creeper (lGndOlphia), which
grows principally along the water courses.
1t covers the highest trees, and frequently
considerable extents Of forest are festooned
down to the ground, from tree to tree, in
all directions with its thick stems, like
great hawsers. Sometimes its stem is as
thick as mans thigh. Above, the trees
are nearly hidden with its large glossy
leaves Of dark green hue, and studded
with beautiful punches Of pure, white
star-iike flowers, most sweetly scented.
It's fruit Is of the size of large orange,
yellow when ripe, and perfectly round,
with . hard, brittle shell; inside it 10 full

flavor, much liked by the natives. It is
not easy to obtain ripe seeds, as the creep

transparent, long-legged red ant-with q

needle is very fond of the pulp
and the seeds distributed through 1t.

crop of potatoes during the month of
April. Sometimes, however, they do bet
ter when planted later. Before the pota-
toes come up, light harrow, constructed
for this purpose, with teeth slanting back,
should be run over the ground to kill the
weeds. After they are up, throw light
furrow over them with . shovel or other
pillow. A few days after put in fine
Tooth cultivator, passing close to the
hills. Cultivate we'll before the blossoms
appear, hill up with the shovel pillow, and
continue to use it as long as the tops will
permit; after this, cut out all weeds with
the hoe.
Old land should be MANFRED well. Any
kind of manure will answer, only put plen-
ty of it on. Wood ashes, leached or un-
leached, is one of the best fertilizers for
this cop, as it requires considerable pot
ash. A rotation Of crops is necessary in
connection with potato culture, and not
more than one crop should ever be taken
from the same land without manure.-D.

" He's q Brick"

If it is q slang, it il really classical
slang. And yet Of the thousands who use
the term, how few-how very few-know
its origin or its primitive Significance,
Truly, it is heroic thing to say of man
to call him brick. The word 80 used.
II not twisted from its original intent,
implies all that is brave, patriotic and
loyal.
Plutarch, in his life of Agesilaus, King
of Sparta, gives us the origin of the quaint
and familiar expression.
On certain occasion an ambassador
from Epirus, on diplomatic mission.
was shown by the King over his capital.
The ambassador knew of the monarch's
fame-kDew that though only nominally
King of Sparta, he was yet ruler of Greece,
and he had looked to see massive walls
rearing aloft their embattled towers for the
defense of the town; but he found nothing
of the kind. He marveled much at this,
and spoke of it to the King.
/" "Sire," he said, 81 have visited most
Of the principal towns, and / find no walls
reared for defense. Why is thisi''
!" Indeed, Sir Ambassador" replied
Agesilaus, "thou c,4nst not have looked
carefully. Come with me tomorrow
morning, and will show you the walls
of Sparta"
Accordingly, on the following morning,
the King led lis guest out upon the plains,
where his army was drawn up in full bat
tie array, and pointing proudly to the
serried hosts, he said:
There, thou beholdest the walls OF
Sparta-ten thousand men, and euery man

How Shall Manure he Applied?

I have been systematic in applying
manures in different stages of decompo-
sition, and invariably have met with the
best success when manure was applied
to give its best strength in the period of
the plants maturing into growth. APP
plying barnyard liquid manures (the
liquid of manure heaps and wash Of yards
after showers), have found them very
stimulating to plant growth, and injurious
when used too freely. Applied to pota-
toes, excessive growth of vine and small
bulbs were the result. Applied to corn,
the stalks were overgrown, with small
ears, large proportion of which were
wholly argot or smut, resembling LAMP
black. Although corn is not deemed
sure crop in my town, have never failed
of growing a good yield of ripe seed
when planted on sward turned late in
fall, and early dragged in spring, and
when the coat of manure was we'll
mingled with the surface soil, and
small amount of quick manure was
planted in the hill. The quick manure
in the hill will give the plant an early
start, and when the roots sprt ad out in
search of increased food for their growth,
the decaying sward and manure mingled
with the surface soil are ready for use.
A great amount of one kind OF manure l
have not found to do as we'll as mixture
of fertilizers. Different crops require
varied proportions of manurials. Some
properties required for perfect growth
seem tritiing because 50 small q proper
ton is used by the growing plant, but if
that small item is lacking in the soil it
must be supplied artihcislly or the crop
will he failure. Then how can the
farmer act safely in applying fertilizers
without knowing we'll the soil he treads?
Some soils are more active in preparing
uudecomposed manures tor plant food
than others, and some plauts grow and
mature in much less time than other
plants, consequently quick soils and
quick manures are better adapted to
plants of quick growth end short life than
soils and manures Of slower action.
Crops are often killed by excessive action
of quick manures upon their early growth.
The first growth is too rank to be carried
forward to fruiting without continued and
increased manurial action. The potato,
pumpkin, squash, tomato, pea and other
vining plants are thus likely to be over
grown at the outset by too liberal appli-
cation of quick manure.-A. L. Fish, in
N. Y. Herald.

Potato Culture.

The potato bug has become naturalized
and seems determined to stay with us,
though they are not as numerous as form
erly. Farmers now understand how to
destroy them, and can grow large crops of
potatoes in spite of the bugs, but it is at
an increased expense. We have had sew
eral excellent crops in succession, and it
will not surprise me if we do not get a
large crop this year. The strong proba-
bility is that we will have q dry season,
unfavorable to the growth of potatoes.
New sandy loan produces the best
quality of potatoes. Any sandy loan,
not wet, especially in clover, will grow
good potatoes. Low, mucky, black soil,
which becomes very hot in the middle of
the day, and cools rapidly at night, will
produce large crop in q favorable season,
but the potatoes are generally too large
for the market, and not of good quality.
A medium-sized tuber suits the market
best. Clay land will sometimes grow a
good crop, but in dry season the tubers
are small, and in wet one they are in
clined to rot. Gravelly. soil, if rich,
answers we'll. Under favorable circum-
stances they will grow in almost any soil,
and they are always failure where water
stands on the land.
oeed potatoes should be OF good size
and free from long sprouts. Several days
before planting, cut them into medium
sized pieces, each containing two or three
eyes. 1t is we'll to cut them in a warm
room and sprinkle warm water over them,
so as just to start the sprouts; they will
then come up quickly. Furrow the
ground in rows about three and half
feet apart, and plant in hills or drills, ac-

missioners for exhibition in Central Park.
Continuing his tour around Baxter
street, the writer learned that there was
scarcely one Italian peanut merchant or
ragpicker who had not at least one mon
key for sale. some of them 60 about
with their pets concealed on their persons,
always ready to produce them when there
seems to be q prospect of trade. Others
leave them at home, spending their leis-
ure hours in training them in the hope
that they will eventually bring good
price. Among these men the monkey
has q reputation for gentleness of dispo-
sition and docility of character which is
hardly borne out by the manner in which
they treat them. The monkeys all seem
to understand Italian, French and En-
glish equally we'll, and the sad cast Of
their couHtenances apparently shows that
with them, at least, q talent for modern
languages is matter of life and death.
The largest dealer in monkeys in the
city is man in Chatham street, near the
Bowery. He buys his animals direct
from the importer, and has q stock on
hand, including specimens Of the Capu-
chin, native of Guinea, the cacaio Of
South Africa, the ape, the gorilla, the ba-
boon, and the chimpanzee. They range
in price from SIS for baby-monkey to
81 500 for large, full-grown baboon.
They are ell uneducated, and have yet to
be trained before they can be of much use
to the circuses and side-showmen, for
whom they are intended. The Chatham
street dealer sells large number of small
monkeys to people who make pets Of
them. Old maids and eccentric bachelors
have prediction for this class of do
nestle toys. The monkey is, strange to
say, rather delicately constituted, and
some of the race, particularly the varied
monkey with chestnut body, yellow head,
yellow cheeks and black limbs, and the
green monkey, with black face, are
never seen in this country, because they
cannot live outside of their own climate.
The colored monkeys seen here are not
the genuine article, and are usually got up
to order, in the fashion of Mayor Barnum's
woolly horse.-N. Y. World.
