Out of the blue water, under the sun
set sky, slowly there was rising, rs they
looked, the masts and then the hull of

water-logged, Shiny. No sound was
heard; but the silent witness to Daniel
Mora's words lay before them, moving
sluggishly on the water. To-day the in
cessant rolling of ten years had released
the last weight that held it down.
Mora's eyes started from beneath their
shaggy brows, as he grasped the cross and
then clutched at his companions dress.
He did not see her. He only saw the
witness, on which his eyes fixed with a
look of despair.
"Daere! John Dacre" he cried,
stretching out his hands imploringly to
the hulk.

he turned suddenly. The woman stood
before him, her hands clasped tightly be-
fore her.

"Rise, Daniel Mora. l am not thy

she herself bowed low upon the ground.
Her forehead touched the cross, which
carried the tale of her old grief and this
mans crime. Daniel Mora crept thither
also, until at length he felt two cold
hands laid on his head.
"God be merciful to US sinners!" she
said. And he repeated the prayer after
her.-Horace II. Scuddsr in the Independ-

Salt in Agriculture.

Few persons realize the value of salt
in agricultural operations. In large
doses it is of course an injury, destroying
everything vegetable it comes into con-
tact with. In heavy soil it is also an in
jury, as the tendency is to make it still
heavier, and thus whatever good it might
have in one respect is outweighed by the
other. But in light, sandy soil, or those
elevated tracts of land not wet but which
are liable to become dry in summer time,
it has been found of the greatest benefit,
and this chiefly on account of the prop
erty it has of absorbing moisture from
the earth in dry weather. 1t is for this
perhaps as much as for any chemical quail
ty that it proves SO beneficial in these
cases. Usually wheat does best on rather
heavy though not wet lands; but where
salt has been used on light soils, as good
crops have been gathered as on the most
favored heavy soils. In the far western
States, where rain does not fall often, and
the danger 10 crops is chiefly through
droughts in the summer time, salt in
light doses ought to prove beneficial; and
in the sandy soils of Delaware, Mary land
and Virginia, it might be employed to a
much greater extent than now with profit.
1t is chiefly for the moisture it seems
to draw from the atmosphere, that it has
often been found of so much good for as
paragus. The asparagus requires an i'm
mense deal of water in the make up of
its stalks, though it does not like to grow
in wet ground; and this moisture the salt
supplies. 1t has also been found of ex-
cellent benefit in raising turnips, beets,
cabbage and other succulent vegetables.
But it must not be forgotten that it is an
injury in soil already wet or heavy; and
therefore good as it is in SO many cases,
an indiscriminate use of it will result in
disadvantage. In this respect it is like
lime and some other things in which
even "salt will not save Germantocn

Dairy Farming and Practical Train
ing In.

Mr.. Clement Hill, British acting charge
d'affairs at Munich, states in re-
port which he made to the foreign
office, that in Bavaria great Importance
is attached to the application of sound
principles in dairy produce, and he gives
an account of school founded seven
years ago by the agricultural committee
of the district of Southofen encouraged
by the promise of small government
grant for the instruction of youths in the
dairy system of the mountain pasturage
district Algan. In this school practical
instruction is given in all that contrib
utes to the manufacture of good cheese
and butter, such as the proper treatment
of cows, milking, discrimination between
the good and the worthless kinds of milk,
and the process it should undergo. The
theoretical part of all this is also taught,
as we'll as simple book keeping rates of
exchange, and where possible some in
struction in veterinary art is added. The
course lasts from March to June. Many
persons come from Austria and neigh
boring districts to attend the weekly lee
lures. The theoretical teaching is gratu-
iious, but the pupils have to find them
SciNCS AOou anu looSibS anu W pay dDOut
eighteen shillings month to the propri-
etor of the dairy for the practical instruc-
ton. The six courses-1S69 to 1874
were attended by sixtythree scholars.
Mr.. Hill states that similar institutions ex-
ist in Switzerland, Denmark and other
parts of Europe, and he suggests that
their creation in England, under the
auspices of some leading agricultural So
ciety, might work radical improvement
in dairy farming. He is of the opinion
that America, where dairy farming is now
pursued with great success, because on
scientific principles, would then be no
longer able to supply England with
cheap cheese. MIR. Hill states that it is
not uncommon for cows of Algan, when
they have been eating bitter herbs, or in
stormy weather, to yield salt or bitter
milk, and in such cases it is the duty of
the senior to taste the milk of each teat,
and if it is unsound to milk it all away,
or at least till it runs sweet, and the re-
suit is to insure a ready sale for the pro-
ducts of the milk, buyers knowing that
they will be sound and good.

SIR ISAAC NEwTON-AN EXAMPLE FOR
BoYs.-In the middle of the seventeenth
century there was an English boy of mean
and diminutive appearance, and behind
all other boys of his age. He was con-
stantly at the foot of his class, and verify
it WAS believed that this boy would be-
come only bungler of some kind, for
surely the soul of learning was not in
him.
At the age of twelve change was
wrought in the character and fortune of
the youth that had never obtained ''re-
ward of merit" and was regarded by
teacher and schoolmates as an inferior.
At this time an alteration took place
between this backward boy and the one
above him in the class, whereupon the
latter treated him with indignity and
violence.
The pride of the boy was outraged. He
could not revenge the insult by blow,
because he was too weak to cope with
his opponent physically. How, then,
shall he humble his assailantl He re-
solved to surpass him in study, to get
above him in the class, and there remain,
to look down upon his enemy and clip
from him the laurels he so indiscreetly
wears. He resolved-accomplished; be-
cause a most devoted scholar; COM
menced career of glory; and Sir Isaac
Newton appeared with key to unlock
the mysteries of motion, and true chart
Of the stupendous universe.

A Sudden Cure.
A melaa c holy woman lay

A melancholy woman lay
In sickness on her bed
And, in faint and broken voice,
To her sad husband said:
"Dear David, when my earthly form
Has turned to lfeless clay,
o wait and weep little while,
Nor throw yourself away.
II know woman, kind an true,
On whom you may depend:
Oh! marry Amarillo Jones
She is my dearest friend"
"Yes, Hannah, have wanted long
To speak o this before;
For Amarillo Jones an [
Have talked the matter DER"
Then you and Amarillo Jones
Have been too smart and sly;
tell you, David Wilkinson,
Pm not going to die"
Her dark eyes flashed; her siren III returned
She left her bed of pain;
week had scarcely passed away
When she was well again.

FIRST RELATION OF DAM WITH SIRE
| am aware that the great majority Of
stock breeders do not admit of the prin-
ciple that the after pregnancy of the dam
will follow her first produce in looks.
My attention several years ago was called
to an old brood mare, of what breeding
l cannot recall, but with at least two
thirds thoroughbred blood coursing in
her veins, who got "chance colt" AS her
first colt, by jack. Her owner, recog-
nizing this principle mentioned above,
selected the finest, most perfect and proved
stallion to breed to he could find. and
anxiously awaiting the expected foal's
advent, which when it did come present
ed decidedly mulish appearance, espe-
cially about the head. When | saw the
mare she was sucking her sixth colt.
Her five colts were all from different
stations, yet in each case there was the
mulish appearance about each foal, but
growing less and less from the second
down to the sixth one. AS all the six
were on the same plantation | satisfied
my curiosity by thorough examination
of each and all.-Am. Stock Journal.

The Japanese Restaurant.

The most popular of all the eating
houses of Toxic is the Matsuda, on
the Ginza, at Kiobasbi. This is really
an immense establishment, having ac-
commodation for 1000 customers at once.
1t is owned by wealthy woman named
Matsuda Kane, by whom it was first
opened in 1878. No rooms are let for lodg
ing purposes, and the patrons are mostly
residents of Toxic, though occasionally
rural party may be seen staring at the
unaccustomed sights about them, to the
no small amusement of their urban
neighbors. The customer is given a
numbered ticket on entering, by which his
account with the house is kept. A few
rooms are furnished in semi-foreign style,
but most preserve their Japanese charac-
ter, and the food is almost entirely native
The "bill of fare" includes some twenty
different dishes, ranging in price from
five to fifteen sen, each, the charges de-
pending largely on the state of the fish
market. While no meat is served, fowls
are cooked in number of forms, and all
kinds of liquors can be obtained. The
Matsuda is opened at eight o'clock in
the morning and closed about nine or
half-past nine in the evening. The bust
est hours are at midday and after sunset,
when the fifty attendants are kept very
active by the crowds of hungry and
thirsty patrons. To the passsr-by the
restaurant looks most attractive at night
when the rows of lanterns under the
caves, and the illumination of the whole
building, showing through panes of col
ored glass, present very gay appearance.

Progress i'm China.

The last budget of Chinese news indi-
Gates decided progress toward an aban-
donment of the old ruts on the part of
the Celestial empire. Half dozen new
ports have been opened for trade with
the world; the postal service has been ex-
tended, and the Government is making
great preparations to secure fine exhi-
bition of the art and industries of the
country at the Paris Exposition. Under
the Viccroy, Li-Hung Chang, China has
made enormous strides in material pros
perity. Should the little Emperor Tsia-
ten die, there is little doubt that Lii
Hung Chang would declare the present
DYNASTY out and assume the imperial
honors himself. He is the head and
front of Chinese progress, and his own
province of Chilli shows the impress of
his hand. If the Viceroys of the remain
ing seventeen provinces were fully IN
sympathy with this remarkable man,
there is little doubt that the old barriers
would all be demolished and China would
be entirely open to the introduction OF
foreign ideas. Li-Hung- Chang has en-
couraged the introduction of steam navi-
CATION on the vast rivers of China, aDd to-
day several native and American and
British lines of steamers are in operation
from Shanghai to Hong Kong and Can
ton, distance of 1000 miles, and be-
tween Shanghai and Kantow, distance
of 700 miles. Telegraph lines have been
commenced this year, and a railroad is
in operation between Woosung and
Shanghai, distance of fifteen miles. The
Chinese have resisted such advanced civ
ilization, but its triumph is only ques-
ton of time. The interior provinces OF
China, accessible by great rivers, are
enormously wealthy, and contain cities
Of great magnitude and Importance,
whose trade has excited the cupidity of
all foreigners, who have chafed under the
distractions placed in their way. The
British have forced their way into many
of these trade bonanzas by threats, and
their Chinese traffic is to-day greater than
that of any other nation. The Chinese
are peculiarly a nation of traders, and as
the foreign wedge has gained an entrance
into their persistent exclusiveness, and
they are perceiving that what is good
for the foreigners is good for them also,
there is little doubt that the magnificent
reign which for some thousand centuries
has been closed to the world will before
long become rich trade arena for the
nations..-LouisciNe Courier. Journal.

ALL WORK AND No PLAY.-It is unfair
to expect your boys and girls to work
hard at home while they are attending
school. To acquire an education is at
this period the business of their lives. If
reluctant to learn their daily lessons they
should sternly be obliged to do so. They
should be taught alike, that from this
there is no possible escape-and that be-
yond it nothing is required of them. The
rest of the day is theirs, and they should
be permitted, in all innocent ways,to pass
it as they list-to frolic and to play, the
prerogative and necessity of youth,
whether in the lower or higher animal
creation. But through fear of creating
habits of laziness, parents too often ex-
act labor of their children after study
hours, and thus, while yearning for play
and needed recreation, under these cir
cumstances work becomes absolutely re-
pugnant to them. This is the way to
make Jack dull lad, and to establish the
very habits it was intended to avoid-for
boy that works reluctantly is only
happy when that work is finished, and he
is thus tempted to slight and skimit over,
that he may the sooner be released. In
this way not only are the habits of laz-
ness created, but of negligence, and of a
deep dislike Of work which often
cling through life.

HINTS FOR GIRLs.-SomebOdy gives
the following advice to girls. 1t is worth
volumes Of fiction and sentimentalism
"Men who are worth having want wom-
en- for wives. A bundle of gewgaws,
bound with string of flats and quavers,
sprinkled with cologne and set in a car
mine saucer-this is no help for a man
who expects to raise family Of boys on
bread and meat. The piano and lace
frames are good in their places, and so
are the ribbons, frills and tassels; but
you cannot make a dinner of the former,
nor bed blanket Of the lstter-and
awful as the idea may seem to you, both
dinner and bed-blankets are necessary to
domestic happiness.
Life has its relations as we'll as its
fancies; but you make all its decorations,
remembering the tassels and curtains,
but forgetting the bedstead. Suppose a
man of good sense, and, of course, good
prospects, to be looking for wife, what
chance have you to be chosen2 You may
trap him, but how much better to make
it an object for him to catch you! If you
should entrap and marry an industrious
young man, and deceive him, he would
be unhappy as long as he lives. So rem
der yourselves worth catching, and you
need no shrewd mother or brother to rec
ommend you, and help you find market
