Insanity and Revieais.

\ recent number Of the Boston Medi.
cal and Surgical Journal contains an in.
teresting article upon Insanity and the
Revival" by Theodore w. Fisher. NJ. d.
IN which reports are given of eight cases
Of insanity that have come under his OBJ
servation during the last two months
which were caused by undue religion.
excitement growing out of the Moody
and Sankey revival. The writer saws i
would not be fair to attribute all thes.
and similar cases TO the effects of reviva
preaching but the presumption in thai
direction is very strong. An examina
ton Of 90 reports Of asylums In the Uni
ted States in 1876 shows that out of Sc,
9SS cases 2l44 were produced by relig
ious excitement. In closing his article
the writer remarks ut is needless tc
add that true religion does not in itsel
tend to produce insanity, but is the best
mora preventive and antidote; but it j.
the false theology and superstition toc
often mingled in the religious instruction
and urged upon ignorant and susceptible
minds, with vehemence and i'm piled
threats of Divine anger, that are liabk
to disturb an already too unstable munta
equilibrium"

Protecting Pear Trees.

A correspondent from Pittsiord, New
York, asks Would it be advisable to
thateh young pear-trees during the whit
er? | have some choice dwarfs that were
put out last spring, and are now about
3 feet high. They are located on knoll
or plateau where they get the full force
Of northwest winds, which, blowing of
our lakes, are quite severe during the
winter. In case the trees have started
an early growth, aud the young wood is
fully matured, there is no necessity for
protecting the pear-trees by matching. A
late sueealent growth of wood is often
winter-killed but when the wood is rip
ened, there is no danger from this cause
in Monroe County. 1t would be good
policy to plant some rapidly growing
eyergreens the coming spring, such as
Norway spruce or white pine. in a line
ten or fifteen feet apart on the west side
Of the orchard. BY the time the pear
trees come into bearing, this row OF ever.
greens will be large enough to break the
force Of the wind, and save the fruit from
being whipped of the trees. Thatching
young pear-trees in that locality seems an

Budding -, T,,.ess

There mil o,b-l.
now in very general use among experts
in fruit-culture, for changing or multiply
inc varieties of the same class on the
same tree. and both of these are simple
and inexpensive. The first Of these Is
known as grating, and is only parchced
on larger trees, and always in the spring
before the foliage is developed. The other
method, which Is much more rapid, and
quite as sure when properly done, Is bud
ding. and the time for doing this extends
from the middle Of July until the first OF
September. Whenever the bark separ-
ates easily from the wood, the buds may
be set, with fair chances OF success. The
OUTFIT for budding consists Of some mar
row strips Of bass mating, such as comes
on the inside Of coiiee-bagS, and pocket
knife with single blade, with small
piece Of ivory fastened in the end Of the
handle When the ineIsion Is made the
ivory is used TO raise the bark up on either
side, so that the bud may be pressed into
place. The buds to DC inserted should be
cut from young, healthy trees, and always
of the present years growth. those that
are most matured being selected. The
leaves may then be clipped of the branch
OF buds, leaving say halt al inch OF the
leaf stalk attached TO the bud. Then
with keen-edged knife cut off each bud
separately from half TO three-quarters
Of an inch in length, leaving thin slice
Of wood back OF the eye OF bud. These
should be kept moist and protected from
the sun or air until set exposure even for
a short time may prove fatal.
When the whole top or any part Of 1t
Is to be budded over, select the spot for
each bud In smooth part Of the branch,
not too large, say from one to two inches
in diameter. On this part make an III
cision through the bark in the form Of
the capital letter I, and raise or separ-
ate the bark from the wood with the ivory
on the handle of the knife. The bud may
then be pressed into place, cutting of
square the portion that goes above the
cross incision. Then with strip Of the
bass mating wrap firmly around the
branch above and below the eye, fasten-
ing the end Of the strip by a slip knot.
This completes the operation, which can
be successfully done even by novice IN
less time than it takes to describe it.-P.

Many valuable recipes, useful hints and
beautiful thoughts are floating round in
the various newspapers that may be pre-
served IN this way for convenient refer
ence. The book may be arranged in diff
ferent departments-the scientific, the
horticultural, the veterinary, the house
hold, the agricultural, the poultry, the
ornamental-and each article placed un-
der its proper heading. Thus an index
will be unnecessary. and you can readily
turn TO the article to which you wish to
refer. The value OF such a book will, We
think, be apparent to every farmer, and
ITS compilation pleasant amusement

saved by reference to its pages the corn

obtained. Many pleasant hour may be
