If you want to keep your boy
at home, make it pleasanter for
him than the street. Chalk a
hopscotch in the hall, put a
hegshead of molasses on tap in
the kitchen, have dog-fght in
the back yard, make a "bully
slide" on the cellar door, have
a hand-organ and monkey in the
reception room, and German
band on the stairs. Hire a "Ge-
vus" to be chaffed. Let the boy
chalk callers backs on the LIST
of April, throw his base ball
through the windows, ring the
bells and run away, and ''plug
the cook with fish balls Sunday
morning; but even then you
will have to engage a circus OF
"great moral show to drive
through the premises two or
three times in the season to
SNAKE it pleasanter than the
street."

The female socialists have
been holding a meeting at Ber-
lin. The orators were not all
women, however. Those who
spoke did so with no little vehe-
mence. They were not little
indignant when they saw a min
lister Of religion among them,
Protestant though he was; for
one of their main objects is to
leave the Reformed church and
to cast off Christianity. One OF
the male speakers, who was a
layman, was much better receiv-
ed, for Herr Most told them that
they were doubly slaves-slaves
by their want Of liberty and
general misery, and slaves to
their own husbands. This senti-
ment was heartily applauded.
After Herr Most a number of
women spoke, vying with each
other in vehemence. One of them
proposed to convert all the
churches into dwellings tor the
working classes. Thereupon
the Protestant pastor thought II
time to speak. He stood up in
defense Of Christianity and mar
riage, and was. constantly inter
rupted by women's shouts OF
char" "hypocrite," and the like
elegant epithets.

Ergiand's R,chtful King.

It lisa curious fact, and one that is
not generally known, that King Victor
Emanuel, was. by the strict law of sue
cession, the rishtful king of England.
He was descended il direct line from
Charles 1. The youngest daughter OF
that unhappy monarch. the Princess
Henrietta Maria, marie Castor d Or>
leans. the brother of Louis XIV. She
died. leaving two daughters. The eldest
became queen Of Spain; and died child
less. The younger married the heir to
the house of Savoy. and was the ances'
tress of the late King of Italy. After
the revolution of 1888. when the right
to succession to the British throne was
settled by the act of parliament. the
house OF Savoy was excluded on account
of the Catholic religion professed by its
members The house of Hanover, OF
which Queen Victoria is the representa-
tive. was several removes further from
the direct succession. deriving, as 1t did,
it's claims from James l. through Queen
Elizabeth of Bohemia. and her d6ught-
er, the Electress Sophia. A striking
commentary on the consequences OF
human actions is afforded by this story
of royal inheritance. When Charles
I. esooused Catholic princess he would
scarcely have imagined that by this act
he was excluding his direct descendants
from tho throne of their fathers; and
still less could his queen have foreseen

some orchards which he observed in Placer

ed and fell off, and the fruitage was almost
a failure.
We believe that the experience and opin-

IMPROVEMENT IN POULTRY.

Many man sincerely opposes the new
poultry fancier's effort at improvement in
the different breeds of fowls, because he be-
leves it is, like the the ''Morus Multicaulis
fever" the South Sea Bubble" and '.West-
ern Land Speculation" and thousands Of
other schemes-simply for the aggrandzc-
ment of the few at the expense OF the many.
Now, we do not pretend that there is not
humbuggery in poultry matters, us we'll as
in everything else; but it is, after all, the
amateurs, who gather ut poultry shows and
spend time and money in experiments with
different breeds and crossings, who give to
the ordinary market poulterer his best re-
suits in that line, and Which.he never would
have studied out or secured for himself in
any other way.
Neither do we pretend that all the yarie-
ties cultivated by those extensively engaged
in the business are of special v..lue to the
farmer: but there are some among them
suited to his needs and if lie dill
gently studies the lists offered, and takes in

FIELD PEAS.

IN communication addressed to the Ell
mira Farmers Club, r. ID. Button writes as
follows on the culture of field peas:
peas are as sure q crop us any other, and
one which leaves the ground in the best of
order for wheat. The yield viii! vary with
the soil, forty bushels beng a large yield.
In preparing the land aim to fall plow and
tit With cllltivator in the spring; although
the best crop | ever raised was on corn stub
BILE, spring plowed. Peas are better if drill
ed, but can be sown broadcast on the fur
row if rolled afterward. Peas like a fine,
dry loan or sandy soil best, but will thrive
well on clayey soil, if we'll fitted. | have
been troubled with bugs which sting the
peas while yet soft, leaving the small eggs,
which are hatched, the worm feeding upon
the pea, leaving but a thin shell by the fol-
lowing spring. This is obyiated by early
sowing, so as to have the ajority of the
pods SO hard by the time the fly arrives at
maturity that it is impossible to pierce them.
If the season be backward and this cannot
be done, very late soowing will secure the
same result. Good crops have been raised
when sown as late as the fifteenth or twen-
tieth of May. The quantity of seed will de-
pend on the soil. If very tine and rich, one
and half bushels to the acre; on ordinary
soil, two, and on very poor, three bushels,
or better not SOW any,"

AGRICU / 7 i R AL,

THE remarkable fine weather for the past
six weeks has afforded our farmers an ex-
celIent opportunity to get their spring work
under way. and many of them have been
sbowing, while some have been sowing
wheat. 1t seems a little early TO put grain
Min the ground, since we will most likely
shaye some freezing weather before spring
"opens, yet we think those who sow now act
Hthe part of wisdom. In all our experience
#haying grown up ona farm we have never
Y known early sowing to fail. More particu-
aarly is this true in Montana. where the
Young grain is in danger from grasshoppers.
|#+As evidence that grain, especially wheat.
cannot be sown too early, we may cite the
annumerable instances of good yields from
N olunteer crops. We do not argue that
there is any particular advantage in having
feed in the ground so early, except that the
Nork is of the farmers hands, and he is
fcady to do something else, while it suffers
no injury from lying in the earth and is
feady to shoot forth at the first approach of
warm weather. In seasons when the grass

The St. Paul Pioneer Press says: There
was brought into the city of Winnipeg, in
Manitoba, last fall, a half bushel OF wheat,
said to have been grown l,500 miles north
of that point. The bearer was half-breed
Indian, who had come from the far north to
Winnipeg to trade, and the grain had been
brought with him to exchange for other
commodities. 1t was regarded at the time

from one to another for trial in the spring in
that locality. A few grains of it sshs into
