Two Pictures of Di,raeli.

! Ii i very Interesting in looking over
the periodic literature of any time to
mark the growth of the fame of men.
I The changes in the tone of the news
papers and magazines from year to
year are very noticeable in MIR. Dis
raeli's case. The number of ''FraZer's
Magazine May, 1888, from which our
first picture is taken, contains also a
little essay upon him, which opens as
! follows: so reader dear, do pray look
here, and You will spy the curly hair
and forehead fair, and nose so high and
cleaning eye of Benjamin D'Is-ra-el-i,
the wondrous boy who wrote ''AlrOy,"
etc., etc. This was supposed TO be in
the style of ''Alroy." But i'm 1917,
after Disraeli had become member of
the House of Commons, and his attacks
upon Peel had turned the eyes of the
country upon him, we find writer i'm
the same magazine speaking of him in a
very different strain. Contrasting the
keenness of the man to all going on
about him, which is evident in his
speeches. his writing, and his acts, with
the torpor Of his appearance, he says:
..See him when you will, he glides past
you nOisele>sly, without being apparen-
tlv conscious of the existence of exter-
mails, and more like the shadow than
the substance of a man. When he j.
speaking he equally shrouds himself i'm
his own intellectual atmosphere. You
would think he paid no regard To the
thought of whom he was addressing,
but only to the ideas he was enunciating
i'm words. Still with downcast eyes.
still with what may almost be called
torpOr of the physical powers, he seems
more than an intellectual abstraction
a living man of passions and sympathies.
If some one of his friends interrupts
him Ia offer friendly suggestion, or to
correct misstatement of facts, the
chances are that he will not notice him
at all, or if he does, that it will be with
a gesture of Impotence, or with some
thing like snarl. This singular self
absorption betrays itself even when he
is i'm Il sitting posture. You never see
him gazing around him. or lolling back
in his seat, or seeking to take his ease
as other men do in the intervals of
political excitement. .''-ScribRer.

GIVE HM A-LIFT.

Give him lift !, Don't kneel in prayer,
Nor moralize with his despair;
The man is down and his great need
Is ready help-not prayer and creed.
Tis time that the wounds are washed and healed
That the Cbristly motives be revealed;
But now. Whatever the spirit may be,
Mere words are but mockery.
One grain Of aid just now is more
To him than tones Of SANITY lore
Pray, if you must, in your full heart:
But give him lift give him start
The world is full of good advice.
OF prayer, and praise, and preaching nice;
But the generous souls who and mankind
are scarce as gold and hard to lind.
Give like Christisn-speak in deeds
A noble hfe's the best of creeds
And he shall wear royal crown
MEo gives EN- lift when they are down.

Watercre--e~.

Watercresscs are now an important
article of commerce in Paris, where
their consumption has of late years in
creased enormously Formerly Paris
depended for its watercresses on crops
gathered by night from brooks and
ponds by persons who made it their
business TO traverse the country for
some miles round the city in search Of
them. and they were as a rule of very
inferior quality. In 1910 AN officer of
the French army, being at Erfurth, saw
a number of wide bitches filled with
spring watercresseS, and conceived the
idea of forming in the valley of Nonette,
between Senlis and Chantilly, similar
cress-growing establishment conducted
on system. This led To a graat de
velopment of cress culture and of the
market for this plant. Other cress-
growers started in business in the envi-
rons of Paris, and at the present time at
all seasons more than thirty cartload-
of crosses are sent into Paris daily, each
load being worth about 300 francs. rep
resenting a consumption of about 5000
francs worth of crosses in the twenty
four hours. or more than 5000, 900 francs
worth a year

kGRICULTURiL.

ARITHMETIC APPLIED TO FARMING
NJ. Evans writes and asks whether we
cannot apply our figures to plowing,
and tell how much can be plowed In a
day at certain rates, width of burrows,
etc. Tables of this kind have frequently
been published, and the computation is
simple enough for each to make him
self. At the rate of one mile per hour,
and with a furrow 8 inches wide, team
will plow about 1451ss rods in 10 hours,
not counting the turning. With ten
inch furrow il would be one-tenth
more, or about one acre. The amount
at other rates and with various widths
of the furrow. can be easily ascertained
from this. The most interesting part
of such an investigation is the time lost
in turning. We give the following
table as computed by Stevens, showing
the comparative time lost in turning
while plowing burrows ten inches wide
and of the given lengths, in ten hours
of work,

SCARECROws.-The first and the best
is suspended looking glass. Take two
small, cheap mirrors, fasten them back
to back, attach cord TO one angle, and
hang them to an elastic pole. When
the glass swings, the SUMS rays are re-
flected over the field, even if it be a
large one, and even the oldest and
bravest of crows will depart precipi-
lately should one of its lightning flashes
fall on him. The second plan, although
terror to crows, is especially we'll
suited TO fields subject to the inroads OF
small birds and even chickens, 1t in
wolves an artificial hawk made from a
big potato and long goose and turkey
feathers. The maker can exercise his
initiative skill in sticking the feathers
into the potato so that they resemble
the spread wings and tail of the hawk.
1t is astonishing what ferocious-look-
ing bird of prey can be constructed from
the above simple material. 1t only re-
mains to hang the object from tall,
bent pole, and the wind will do the
rest. The bird will make swoops and
dashes in the most headiong and threat
ening manner. Even the most inquisi-
tive of venerable hens have been known
to hurry rapidly from its dangerous
vicinity, while TO small birds it carries
unmixed dismay.-Scientifc american.

Evil Birds.

have noticed a curious thing with
regard to nightingales, namely, that
large numbers of people in this country
dislike their singing. This is especially
the case with domestic servants. A
lady who resided for many years in the
neighborhoedo of Stratford-on-Avon told
me that she has often had servants to
leave because "the nightingales were so
noisy" ItwOuld be interesting to know
whether there may not be mingled with
this some superstition. The niShtln-
gale, Notwithstanding its beautiful song,
has not altogether escaped the suspicion
which has generally attached to birds
whose voices are heard i'll the night
and there is one instance where church
council solemnly exercised rs a devil
a nightingale which persistently sang
near their place of deliberatiOn. Still
il may be only that the strange, plain
tive, and prolonged melody of the bird
disturbs the sleep of the servants. This
year the nightingale has begun singing
in some parts of the country three
weeks earlier than usual, the time
appointed for it being st. Georges and
Shakspeare's Day April %. Ii has a
way of not keeping the caiendar-some-
what in the same way as the Glaston-
bury thorn, which in more orthodox
times was always seen in blossom al
Christmas, bat of late years has mani
tested a heretical tendency to resemble
other thorns that have not the honor OF
having blossomed out of Arimathean
Joseph's staff. The list of birds OF
omen, good or evil. in the folklore OF
English countries is extensive, compris-
ing the robin, swallow, martin, wren,
sparrow. titmouse, owl, raven, cuckoo,
plover, magpie, woodpecker, kite, crane,
heron, goose, peacock, jackdaw, duck,
cormorant. cock, seagull, hoopoe, petrol,
eagle. bittern and kingfisher: but
have never heard any mystical legend
of the nightingale in this country,
though there are many such in Persia
and Russia. This is curious enough,
that the English imagination should
pass by the passionate singer of the
night to find mystery and augury in a
goose.-CiH. Commercial.

What Eyes in Ladies Indicate.

Black eyed ladies are most apt to be
passionate and jealous. Blue eyed.
soulful, truthful, affectionate and con-
fiding. Grey eyed philosophical, liter
ary, resOlute and cold hearted. Hazel
eyed. quick tempered and tickle. A
woman is either worth a great deal or
nothing. If good for nothing, she is
not worth getting jealous for; if she
be a true woman, she will give no cause
for jealousy. A man is a brute TO be
jealous of a good wOman-a fool to be
jealous of a worthless one; but is a
double fool to cut his throat for either
of them.

MANURE FOR PEAR TREEs.-A distin-
guished fruit grower in Iowa thus
writes with reference to the application
OF barn yard manure to pear trees :
''YOu fear to apply manure, expecting
an unripe, watery and tender growth,
with poorly favored fruit. From many
years experience with the use of man
ures as mulch, know that these evil
effects are not produced. While our
winters are far more severe than yours,
/ find the pear tree more hardy than
any apple tree L have tested. Give the
pear the good, thick, dark-green, heavy
foliage, and every twig ripens 10 its tip.
While on the contrary, with blight
stricken limbs in the heighth of June
growth, speckled, blotchy leaves, and
consequently unripe, unhealthy sap;
the tree is ready to succumb to winter,
if it does not die before. To illustrate
more clearly the effect of my mode of
treatment, send a rough sketch of the
kind of roots formed by pear trees
grown by this method, as contrasted
with those by the ordinary method, the
former being well branched with nu-
merous fibres or rootlets near the sur
face of the ground, while the latter
have only few coarse prongs, without
fibres, except deep in the ground.
This, to my mind, explains the why
and wherefore of health or disease in
pear trees.''

Two Bad Faults.

Deceit and falsehood, whatever con-
or produce, are, in the sum of life,
obstacles TO happiness. Those who
profit by the cheat, distrust the de-
ceiver; and the act by which kindness
was sought puts an end TO confidence.

According to this estimate, in plow-
ing burrows about five rods in length,
as much time is devoted to turning as to

advantage of long over short burrows
in this respect.
