The New Loan.

The popular subscription to the new
loan are being made with greater rapid.
ty tlau was anticipated by the secretary
of the treasury. AT the outset he est,
mated that Sl5,000,OO would be taken
in this way, but he now thinks that the
total will considerably exceed that sum
and may go to S20, 900 900, or even high,
er. 1t is probable that the orders on the
last few days OF the thirty curing which
the bonds are offered for sale at par, will
be greater than those for all the rest of
the time. 1t naturally takes a little
time for the merits of the loan to become
fully appreciated. The advantages of
investing idle funds in the new bonds
will scarcely be fully got before the pub.

Cheese W Meat

It Is a little singular that, in these hard
times, when every one is trying to econo-
mize, that more cheese is not eaten. So
much has been said and written bychcm-
ists about the relative value of cheese
and meat that We all must have seen
some comparisons Of their values as food,
with The balance always on the side Of
cheese. when each Is reckoned at its
usual market quotation. Another argu-
iucnt in favor OF cheese is that it requires
no cooking OF other preparation, but is
always ready for food. Bread is termed
the staff Of life. Most properly, it seems
to me, We might add to it cheese and
milk. 1t might be useful, to confirm
what chemistry declares, if some one
interested were to try the experiment
OF a diet composed largely OF cheese, in
some Of our charitable institutions,
reform schools or p~oor-houscs. We have
them all around us 10 support, and il We
could maintain them equally well, or
perhaps better, by some changes OF thj,
nature, would it not be an object to dc
so? II our taxes were a little lighter
could we not bear it comfortably? Wher

headed, " 4 twenty acre farm" wherein
is shown by planting five acres in corn,
five acres in cotton, five acres in wheat,
five acres in fruit, vegetables and truck

waiting a tour hundred acre farm, and
making cotton his special crop. The
twenty acre farm is an illustration OF
diversified farming, and it is as true as
any certain fact, that the only way to
farm successfully is to diversity the crops
and in accordance with my experience
it can be proltably done on a iarm OF
two hundred acres in cultivation, but
where it is done on a two hundred acre
farm, at least eighty acres should be put
down to small grain crops. sixty to com,
fifty to cotton, and ten acres to truck
crops..my father maintains that two hun
dred acres is a farm large enough for any
farmer TO cultivate with hired labor, if
he wants to farm successfully.
This brings me to the subject, diversi.

and recommended ever since the enamel

Despite the bitter cold, flowers are the
luXuries OF Russians in winter. They
are everywhere. The houses overflow
with them--howcrs receive you at the
door, and 60 with you up the stairway
Irish ivles, tcstoon balusters; iardiniers
adorn the landings on every floor. In
the embrasure Of the windows bananas
spread out their broad silken leaves ;
TALBOT palms, magnolias, camelias,
growing like trees, mingle their blossoms
with the gilded volutes of the cornices .
orchids hover like butterflies around
lamp-shades of crystal, porcelain and
curiOusly-wrought terra-cotta. From
the lorn-shaped vases of japanese porce
lain Or Bohemian glass, placed in the
centre of a table or at the corner of a
sideboard, spring sheaves of superb
exotics. And all this floral splendor
thrlyes as in a dollhouse. Every breath
OF cold air is carefully excluded. The
windows are invariably double, and the
space between the sashes is covered with
a layer OF fine sand, designed to absorb
moisture and prevent the frost from
%silvering the panes. Twisted horns of
paper containing salt are set in it, and
sometimes the sand is concealed by a bed
OF moss. There are no outside shutters
or blinds, for they would be useless, since
the windows remain closed all the win
ter, being calefuIly filled in around the
edges with a kind OF cement. Heavy
curtains of rich material still further
deaden the effect of the cold upon the
glass. shiyering in the street, you are
