WATERsPoUT.-0n Friday last, at 10 so a. IN. an in
teresiing natural phenomenon was witnessed Bq q
large number OF persons in this town, from the city
front. A short distance in advance of q heavy
shower which was passing up from the south,
there was q large aud magnificent water
spout Il moved slowly and msjesticslly along
past the harbor, about mile out TO sea, and con-
sisted of a central column extending downward
from the dense oVerhanging canopy of black clouds.
the base of which was encircled with huge bowl
shaped mass of foam and spray which was appar-
emily drawn up from the surface Of the sea. Both
column and mass OF spray were revolving from left
to right, the hands of watch move, at the rate
of about thirty revolutions per minute. 0ccas-
sionally, flashes of vivid lightning were play
ing about the inky pillar, which moved onward for
about twenty minutes, when It struck the sand spit
beyond Kalihi and instantly collapsed. The gene
rally accepted theory is that waterspouts caused
by whirlwinds passing over the surface of the sea,
but 1t seems highly improbable that simple whirl-
wind rotating Of the rate OF thirty or even sixty
times minute, can be an adequate cause for so
marked phenomenon. Thirlwinds are not unfre
quently seen in certain localities, raising columns
OF dust and light rubbish 10 q great height in the
air. but In they pass of from the land onto the
sea, although the column of dust may continue it's
course, we never heard of instance OF its being
gradually succeeded by column of mist or spray.
III We not mistaken, waterspouts are never seen
q cloudless day, but of their inevitable con-
ditIons Ii q dense rain-cloud hanging low over the
sea. From this fact, and also from the fact that
they are almost invariably accompanied by electric
phenomena we are inclined to the opinion that
wiud has little nothing TO do with their forma-
tion, but that they are the result, in some unex-
planned manner, Of the action Of electricity.

ANOTHER TIDAL WAyE,-Captain Crane of the

day morning last, the 18th inst. at $3.50 o'clock,
there was a sudden fall of the sea off Lahaina,
Maui. Wishing to take advantage of the high tide,
be had commenced taking off sugar before light,
and had gone ashore with his men and had loaded
the boat and was pulling of to the schooner, but
when he had proceeded two or three hundred feet
from the wharf, the sea fell without any warning
leaving the boat the coral and the adjacent reefs
exposed. The boats crew jumped out, and were
about to run ashore, fearful Of being overwhelmed
in the return tide, but they returned u response
the Captains remonstrance, and In less than min
ute the sea slowly returned to it's former level.
The usual depth of water at that point is from eight
to ten feet It is to be regretted that the tide.

STRAWBERRY PROTECTION.

I think there can be no doubt that cover
ing strawberries before settled cold weather
does more harm than good. The wet weather
and extremes of heat and cold of early
spring do more harm to such hardy plants
than the steadier cold of early winter.
We have followed the plan of covering
them not until considerable falls of snow
the straw or whatever material is used hav-
ing been put aside under cover until that
time. While snow lasts, of course, there
can be no better protection than it offers
But when nearly gone, melting during the
day and freezing at light are likely TO injure
the plants as soon as their leaves and stems
are exposed. It is better therefore, to spread
the covering upon the freshly fallen snow.
1t then, falling as the snow melts, finally
rests evenly and lightly upon the plants un-
derneath.
Those who, from neglect or want of time,
failed to cover their strawberry patches as
usual, may ascertain, by adopting this plan,
that it is not yet too late to protect them as
effectually now as at an earlier day.-Ru''al

A NEW GOLDEN TREE.

Speaking of Van Geert's nursery at Clamp
thout, Belgium, the English Journal Of Hor-
ticulture says:
It is here, to (Clampthout) where the
choicest of the rich collection of hardy trees
with variegated foliage are increased, such as
that valuable acquisition, the Golden Poplar,
Popuhts ca,adensis auaea Tau Gee1ti, the
finest of all golden-foliage hardy trees, OF
free and noble growth and not golden in
Belgium only, for this tree has proved, i'll
the Hammersmith nurseries of Messrs j. u
c.. Lee, all that was represented by its raiser,
as being as free in growth as the common
Canadian Poplar, and with leaves not OF a
sickly hue, but of warm and vigorous
Golden tint, the color increasing in intensity
the better the trees are nourished and the
more they are exposed to the sun. Easy as
this tree is of increase, the great demand for
if has taxed to the utmost Mr.. Van Geert's
endeavors to establish sufficient stock, and
consequently the trees in the Antwerp nur-
sery were all in a small state. This tree
which in ali probability will, in a few years
tighten and brighten the park and forest
scenery of many countries, is the result

STRAWBERRIES.

The Charles Downing maintains its high
character. Mr.. Jones said it would not bear
shipping like the Wilson, but 1T yields we'll.
DR.. Long said it sold better than the Wilson,
and was large and productive. DIR. Humph-
rey said it was the best berry to can, and he
put up 1000 cans of it last year. 1t holds
out longer in bearing than the Wilson. Mr.
Leslie had tested sixty varieties, and found
the Charles Downing the best. The fruit
stands up better than the Wilson, is better
in quality, and withstands the sun better.
MIR. Leslie is a large cultivator of this fruit,
and pursues the following mode Of culture :
He plants in rows 81 feet apart and one foot
in the row the runners cover strip II Or
Is inches wide, the plants outside of this
strip being treated as weeds. After freezing
in early winter, the plants are covered with
straw inches thick, evenly distributed and
shaken loosely this is raked off in spring
and left till after fruiting. The Charles
Downing needs renewing once in three years,
which is done by turning in the old plants
with plow and wheel coulter, first on one
side, then on the other, turning the burrows
away from the rows. Then sprinkle on ma
nure and level the ground. This seems te
be an easy and cheap way Of renewing Oh
the same ground, and will doubtless answer
we'll for the rich soils at the west, with the
added transactions Illinois Hoyti

a majority of farmers are in an almost des-
perate condition on account of the unprotit-
ableness of agricultural pursuits.
There must be some cause for all these
complainings Of hard times among farmers,
but who will dare say that it is low prices or
short crops? We PROFOUND the question,
What is it? and although it may be con-
undrum which few will attempt to guess,
still those who will take the trouble to look
closely into the present condition of agricul-
ture and compare it with that of twenty-five
or thirty years ago, may be able to throw a
ray of light upon the subject.-Ru'az Neao

simply of attentive observation and the turn
ing to account, as it We're, of a freak of ma
ture. Mr.. Van Geert, in passing through
much-frequented district, had noticed
bright yellow branch growing on an ordina-
ry poplar tree, and observing that it grew
as freely as the rest of the tree, that it as
sumed its golden tint early in the summer
and preserved it throughout the season, that
this was not freak peculiar to one season,
but was the same year after year, the tree
or branch was secured for further expert
ment, and thus the tree which will add so
much to landscape scenery and it's preserv-
er's fame was obtained, increased and dis
tributed. Thousands of passers-by had no.
ticed the ''golden patch," but one only had
turned the circumstance to account-the OBJ
servant and fortunate Charles Van Geert.

COOKS AND COOKING.

1t has been said that "poets are born and
wise, and the same axiom may be applied to
cooks.
The principles of cooking may be studied
with care and for lifetime, and practical
directions for compromising dishes, baking,
boiling, and roasting, given without num-
Der; but with all these aids, woman cannot
become good cook without practice, any
more than she can become an accomplished
performer on the piano by studying book
of, exercises arranged for that instrument
There is a certain indescribable something
or intuitive knowledge, which assists one
cook to have everything turn out
just right. while another, by the closest at
tention, fails to produce any article in its
greatest perfection.
Good bread makers we have, it is true,
but they are far from being common, al
though it would be difficult to find a woman
who makes bread that will own her bread
is not quite as good as it is possible to make
it.
But there is difference Of opinion as to
| what constitutes good bread. Some con-
slider lghtness, even to puffy condition,
as the principal quality of good article;
but this is certainly q great mistake, for
good bread should be Of an even, uniform
texture throughout, nc holes in it as large
as peas or marbles, for these show want Of
proper kneading.
OF course, good, light white bread cannot

and soured wheat, and the man who pro-
vides such an article and expects his wife to
make good bread, deserves to he disappoint-
ed, as he most surely will.
There are also conditions to be observed
which cannot be laid down in cookery-books
or be known outside of each particular kitch-
Ell. These pertain to the water used, wheth-
er soft or hard, also to the management o.
the fire, for if it fluctuates from red-hot
stove one minute to an almost cold one the
next, the cooking will not 60 on in 4 uniform
and regular manner.
The secrets OF success in cooking are,
knowing just what you want to produce,
just how to do it, and then giving the nee
essary attention to bring about the desired
results, which can only be obtained through
constant practice.
1t will not do to get into furry and put
in salt in place of sugar, or to leave out any
of the ingredients where all are required tt
} complete the article in hand but careful at
tention to all the small details are positively
necessary to produce satisfactory results.

the chemist who presides over it, must take
an interest in the compoundng of each di>
+, produced, else there will be no brilliant
t chemical results. Mrs. Rustic IN Rural Nee
