BID Companions in Dalmatia.

Among others there is black bee
tie Indigenous to Dalmatian soil, the
remembrance of which," writes news
paper correspondent, twill put into a
cold perspiration to the last day of my
life. 1t is as large as a mouse, and
much fleeter than a deer-a gigantic
and appalling combination of shininess
and speed. To see him go up your
bedroom wall, well out of reach, at the
rate of five feet per second, might make
the stoutest heart quail. He comes
down and joins you after you have put
your light out. He is not afraid of
revolver. l would not wish my worst
enemy a more unhappy quarter of an
hour than have passed with an elderly
black beetle of this class in the ancient
burgh of Dubrovnik. There is flying
thing tOo-a thing about as large as a
wren, with a hum quite superior in
quality and volume to that of any top
lever dreamt of in childhood's widest
visions. This thing Indignantly Sc
cretes itself in your room during the
day, whilst the windows are open, and
waits with fiendish insidiousness until
you are snugly settled in bed, having
satisfied yourself that there are no
scorpions left, and spread centipede
or two out quite thin on the wall with
your slipper. Just as your mind be-
gins to be at ease, and the skirmishers
of sleep have effected lodgment upon
yoar eyelids, out sallies the thing from
its place of vantage, and starts upon its
nefarious course with a booming and
whirring of wings that are good deal
more easily conceived than described" !"

Queer COurtShip.

The husbands of Aleppo undergo
trying ordeal before they win their
brides. Captain Burnaby, author of
"A Ride to Khiva," while in Asia re-
Gently, had the ceremony described to
him by young bey from Aleppo. "A
girl has, say, three lovers" said the
bey. "She takes three bits of live char
coal from out of the fire; giving each
of her lovers piece she tells them to
place it in the palms of their hands.
The fire burns through the skin, the
lendons are laid bare! sometimes the
amorous gentleman will resist till the
flesh has been burnt to the bone. Here
ore or two of them generally succumb
to the torture; the man who resists the
longest wins the lady,"

The Ounce.

The ounce was much grown in the
middle ages, being considered the most
useful fruit of all. not only forming the
basis of celebrated preserves, but it
was also used as an accompaniment to
most kind of meat dishes. 1t is indi-
genous to Germany and the South of
Europe, anu it appears first to have at
tracted notice in the city Of Cydon, in
Crete or Gambia. 1t was even more
highly esteemed by the Greeks and Ro-
mans than by us. In later days the
ounces of Portugal were considered
the best, yet the celebrated preserve
called Catignac, for which the city of
Orleans was so renowned, was never
absent from the dinner tables of the
French nobility.
The ounce seldom grows higher than
twelve 10 fifteen feet, and is usually
rather shrub than tree. Its large
white and pale pink blossoms, which
appear rather later than those of other
fruit trees, are quite ornamental, and
the tree, properly grown, presents an
attractive appearance when laden i'm the
Fall with its ripe and golden fruit. A few
years ago this fruit was easily grown,
and large quantities found their way
into city markets, where their abun-
dance made the ruling prices low; but
latterly they seem TO have failed,
through various causes. and have been
scarce and high. There seems to be no
good reason why Ghe cultivation of this
valuable fruit should be thus neglected,
since there is always ready sale for it
at remunerative prices, and at far more
satisfactory rates than prevail i'm other
fruits, especially in seasons of abun-
dance.
1t is usually propagated by layers and
cuttings, and soon comes into bearing.
They may be planted six or eight feet
apart in the row, with rows ten to
twelve feet apart. If the ground is pre-
viously subsoiled, and well manured by
trench-plowing, the young trees will
come into bearing in about three years,
and continue productive, il well managed
for forty years or more. A moist soil
and shade are generally recommended,
and the trees seem TO flourish best on a
rather stiff, deep and rich soil in some
what sheltered locations. Ounce trees
loaded with fruit, are often seen grow
ing beside brooks or around small
ponds. An annual application of good
manure should be rnade, and thin
sprinkling of salt over the surface in
Spring has been found beneficial.
Trees, that through neglect have been
stunted in growth and rendered unpro-
ductive, may be renovated b. cutting
or saving out the thick profusion of
suckers which surround the stem; by
deepening the soil with the spade as
much as the roots will admit, and ap-
plying to each tree a bushel or two of
we'll decomposed compost, made of sta
BILE manure and black muck, and finally
by spreading thin coating of salt up
on the surface; all of which should be
dcne in the Spring of the year.

The Telegraph uses the following
sound arguments to induce its readers
to produce more poultry: I'VE have
often recommended the raising OF poul-
try by farmers within easy reaching
distance of the city markets, and have
no reason now to change the recon-
mendation, but to repeat it. If pro-
perly conducted it would become one
of the most profitable branches of the
farm. The t'~-"ch give special atten-
ton to poultry. "a. - ways has been
to them an important source OF revenue.
the total value of chickens sold in
France, including eggs and capons, is
estimated at $50, 100000 per annum,
which if equally divided among the
population would be at the rate of
1925 for every man, woman and child
i'm the country. There is no reason
why the business here should not as
sumo greater proportions than it does.
as there is at all times demand for
every variety of good poultry and fresh
eggs at remunerative prices. This is
branch of the farmers industry that
can be managed by the women and
boys of a family. 1t requires but little
capital. The chicken-houses should be
inexpensive but sufficiently roomy,
cleanly and well-ventilated. A large
portion of the food can be supplied by
the offal of the farm of almost every
description, which can be readily econ
omized for the purpose. The time re-
quired can be mainly what may be
called off-time. The pleasure Of rais-
ing chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese,
guinea-fowls, and even pigeons with
squads at forty cents per pair), should
pay for all the outlay in money or labor.
AS we say, there is a constant demand
for poultry at good prices, and there Is
not season in the year when they cam
not be disposed of freely. We know
that upon man. farms poultry-raising
is not regarded with favor, as consum-
ing time that should be applied to the
general affairs of the farm. But it is
mistake and we commend thoughtful
consideration of the subject"
Another even more powerful induce
ment would be to invent some remedy
for chicken cholera and "gapes," which
cause such discouraging mortality
among our poultry, both old and young.
Two of our best and most successful
poultry raisers. "who never lose sim
gle chicken from gapes," tells us that
they attribute their exemption wholly to
the fact that as soon as taken of the
roost they grease the heads OF all the
chickens. The argument is that the
worm which produces the trouble in
the wind-pipe of the bird matches on
The top of its head and passes i'm at the
nostrils.

When Foote was in Scotland, he trav-
elled from Dumfries to Edinburgh in a
stage-coach, in company with a country
gentleman of enormous size. Becom-
ing by the way pretty familiar with his
companion, FoOtc asked him in what
employment he was, or if he was in
any. The gentleman replied that he
was landowner. Foote inquired how
much that might yield him a year.
From fifty to seventy pounds. !"
What" exclaimed Foote, affecting the
utmost amazement, "and is it possible
so small an income can ever maintain
so immense a man as you are? All, my
good friend, how pity you. Here"
pulling out of his pocket some half a
dozen guineas, "there, take them, my
honest fellow; they are all have at
present; wish for your sake they were
more; but few as they are, they will be
a help TO gentleman in your melan-
choly circumstances. The stranger,
who was luckily man of sense as well
as blk. laughed heartily at this sally
of his fellow-traveler, but assured him
that in his country it was not the GUS
tom for men to grow fat on the charity
of others. "But how then" said Foote,
"do you contrive?" 'O," replied the
gentleman, I'll tell you. There's an
old saying, laugh and grow rat. And
do you KNOW" continued he. "that
though l have laughed great deal to
be as fat as am, am on my way now
to Edinburgh to have some more laugh
ing. There's one Foote-" Nov sit
ting opposite to you," whispered the
English Arislophanes, "who is delight.
ed to find, that though you wont accept
his guineas, lie may help you in another
way, by making you laugh to your
hearts content"

Agriculture is the one fio,irisling
pursuit in this country to-day. Nation
al prosperity depends on the surplus
productions of the tillers of the soil.
Even in California and Colorado, the
percentage of profit from progressive,
systematic farming exceeds that Of
mining. Let each individual feel the
responsibility of making good record
for his toll, both for personal comfort
and happiness as well as for the general
good.

lie is a fool that grumbles at mis-
chance. Put the best foot forward, is
an old maxim. Don't run about and
tell acquaintances that you have been
unfortunate; people do not like to have
unfortunate people for acquaintances.
Add to vigorous determination a
cheerful spirit; if reverses come, bear
them like philosopher, and get rid Of
them as soon as you can. Poverty is
like panther-look it earnestly in the
face and 1t will turn from you.
