Why SooilS Fail

In the first place, we will examine
the cause of failure. Ii small seeds
are planted too deep, they either rot in
the damp, cold earth, for the want of
warmth necessary to their termination,
perish before the shoots can reach the
sun and air so that which was design.
ed for their support and n)urishment
proves their grave.
If the soil is stiff clay, it is often too
cold at the time the seeds are planted
to effect their termination but it
must he understood that warmth and
moisture are necessary to the germin-
alton of seeds. Neither of these will
do alone. Seeds may be kept in a
warm, dry room. in dry sand or earth,
and they will not grow. They may be
placed in damp earth, and kept in a
low temperature, and they will most
likely rot, though some seeds will re.
main dormant a long time under these
circumstances. But place them in
moist earth, in 4 warm room, and they
will commence growth at once. An.
mother difficulty with heavy soil is
that it becomes hard on the surface,
and this prevents the young plants
from looming up" or, if during show.
cry weather, they happen to get above
the surface, they become locked in
and make but little advancement I'M
less the c,lltivator is careful to keep
the crust we'll broken; and in doing
this the young plants are often de.
stroyed. If stiff, the soil where small
seeds are sown should be made mellow,
particularly on the sruface, by the ad.
dition of sand and light mould.
If seeds are sown in rough, lumpy
ground, a portion will be buaied under
the clods, and will never grow and
many that start, not finding fit soil
for their roots, will perish. A few may
escape these difficulties and flourish.

4 RhinOceros that Drank Nine Buckets Of
ChOrOf0lm.

my dear SIR said the Press Agent,
as we stopped in front of q cage con-
tanning a hyena, 1.-THE hyena is the
mcanest and dirtiest of beasts, yet he
is Il great curiosity. Now you are not
very we'll posted III the show business,
and 50 l will tell you all you need to
know. This hyena is the fourth one
ever captured, and cost the owner CT
this show $4,000. Twelve men were
slain before the beast was Gagged. 1t is
very hard to keep hyena alive in this
climate, and we have to feed him on
solid tenderloin and milk!'
AS Mr.. Dumont paused for breath,
we took the opportunity to tell him
that there were four hyenas at our
own Zoo, that the keepers up there
hadn't very much trouble in keeping
them alive, and that they oftener got
tough flank than tenderloin.
For moment the man Of much
show information looked at lis in !.
plying sort of way, then with slight
sheer on his face remarked: "You
have been deceived, sir. There is not
hyena out at your Zoo. Those ami
mails are only Hyeneses Domesticates,
or in other words, domesticated hyenas,
they are q cross between a cayote aid
a wolf. People are often imposed
upon, but we'll let that pass. Here in
this next cage is the only rhinoceros
ever in captivity. Old John Robson
secured the hide of rhinocerous and
had it sewed on over an ordinary m,,-
ley cow. The COW stood it for about two
months and then died. Then Robson
had the hide stuffed and then got the
credit of having exhibited the first
rhinoceros in this country, But, sir,
ours is the first live one ever Imported,
and cost us $50, 900 to get him.
"What has become of his horn!" in.
quired our young man, rs he noticed
that the first living rhinoceros ever
brought to this country lacked that
prominent nasal appendage.
Snow that horn has little history
of ITSELF" answered the press agent.
"Tom-that's what we cali the
beast-lost his horns at Erie, Pa. You
see, we got him in the show ut Titus
vile, and we had to keep him in a
sheat.iron cage seven inches thick. At
times he would get very bad, and one
day he battered out the end of his den
with his horn. 1t took eighty men to
recapture him. Then we gave him
nine buckets of chloroform, and while
he was sleeping we sawed off his horn.
When the cage containing what our
unsophisticated young man supposed
was an ordinary monkey of an unusual
ly large size was reached. Mr.Dumont
proceeded to thus enlighten him;
"This mammoth beast, dare say,
you have no idea of. 1t is the great
gorilla of Africa, the strongest beast in
the world. His strength exceeds that
of fourteen men. He is terribly vic.
ious brute and since he has been in
our possession he has killed nine keep.
ers and an infant son of the proprietor
of this show. This gorilla is supposed
to be about eighty.seven years Of age
and we have had him for nineteen years
ourselves. He cost US originally $35,.
tx, 81 but the expenses of keeping
him the past nineteen years will swell
that ammount greatly. The proprietor
of this show wouldn't take $4,000, 900
for him to-day.

Something About Cream.

There is new discovery in the
science of setting milk for cream,
which bids fair to eclipse everything
yet invented for bringing cream to the
surface in the least possible time,
thereby preventing the loss caused by
the variation OF temperature and the
time required to raise the cream, as
we'll as storage and labor. The plan
looks very feasible, but has yet to be
proved practicable. 1t is this :: strain
the milk into cans leaving some space
in the top, then tit on covers air Sight
and pump the air all out of the top of
the can over the milk with an air
pump; this will cause 4 powerful sue.
ton through the milk, and aid greatly
in bringing the globules OF cream to
the surface.

SteinWay's Victory and I.aurels.

The following official report of the
Judges Of Awards, accompanying the Medal,
shows conc,usively that the highest honors
in the gift Of the Centennial authorities were
unanimously awarded to SrElSwAY Il SoSs,
viz: 'For greatest concert capacity in Grand
pianos, as also highest degree OF excellence
in all their styles Of pianos, viz: largest vol
ume, purity and duration of tone, and extra
ordinary carrying capacity with precision and
durability Of mechanism also, novel DISPOSE.
ton Of the strings and construction, and brac-
ing of the metal frame.''
The report then infinitely describes and
enphatically endorses the six principal pat
ented improvements which have made the
Steinway
THE STANDARD PIANOS OF THE WORLD.
Referring to SteinwaY's exhibits in Ma
chinery Hall Of samples of hardware, metal
frames and patent tubular actions, the report
further states:
"These articles of composite metal show
the highest perfection Of finish and workman
ship and the greatest frmness and uniformity
of metal structure, a steel-like and sounding
quality with tensile strength exceeding
s 900 lbs. per square centimetre, as demon
strated by actual tests. The full metal frames
of cupola shape, possess an unequalled de-
gree of resistance, permitting vastly in
creased tension Of strings without the slight
est danger OF break or crack in said metal
frames, thereby considerably increasing the
vibratory power, and augmentlng the lasting
qualities Of their Instruments"
