AGRICULTURE.

WHiT SHADE-TREEs TO PLANT
There is great satisfaction in knowing
what selection of shade-trees those who
are competent to judge would make for
road or lawn planting. just such in
formation is now before the public, and
it will prove Of very great value to
those who intend to beautify their road
sides or private grounds. The Park
Commission of Washington, ID. c.,
composed of three men of high standing
in horticultural circles, have planted
miles of street-trees, numbering about
forty thousand. The bulk of these are
made up of twelve varieties, and are
named herewith in the order i'm which
the commission valued them for the
purpose: White maple (acer dasyccr-
pum), American linden (1Ilid Anaeri-
canal, American elm Ulmus Anlericand), f,
scarlet maple (Acer rubruDs), box elder
(NeguadO dcsroides), sugar maple (Acer
sdcchdrinum), American white ash
(Frd1inus Americana, English sycamore
(Acer pseudopldtdnus), button-ball (Pld-
tanus orientdlis), tulip-tree (Liriodendron
tulipferd), honey locust (Gleditschia tria-
cGnthos), Norway maple (Aeer plata
nodes.
This is an excellent assortment to Sc
lect from for road side planting. Each
variety here named when full grown
assumes handsome proportions, and
most of them have brilliant and attrac-
tive foliage in the fall. In planting
shade-trees along the roadside, espe-
cIally in a clay country, they should be
set at least fifty feet apart, Tor if closer
there will be too much shade, and lad,
wet roads in the spring are sure to fol-
low. This close planting should be
also strenuously avoided in decora-
ting private grounds. Any system that
excludes the free access of sun and air
from the dwelling house is pernicioEs.
Go wherever one may he will find this
Iaulty system of close planting in vogue
and in eight cases out of ten there are
two trees or shr1bs on space where
one would have been enough. The plea
for this is desire for immediate effect.
The remedy is TO cut down in time
every other tree. This last is seldom,
if ever, carried out.

NEVER whip your horse for becoming
frightened at an object by the roadside /;
for if he sees a stump, log or heap OF
tanbark in the road, while he is eyeing
it carefully and about to pass it, if you
strike him with the whip, it is the log,
or the stump, or the tanbark that is
hurting him, in his way of reasoning,
and the next time he will be more
frightened. Give him time to examine
and smelli all these objects, and use
the bride to assist you in bringing him
carefully to them.

FERTILIZER FOR FRUIT TREEs.-There
is nothing better than stable manure,
but not enough can be had. Muck is
good if we get the right kind-fibrous
and not too much decomposed. 1t may
be profitably composted with stable
manure. six or seven loads to one of the
latter, with ashes and salt. The coarse
grass which grows on muck swamps, il
piled up with it, helps decomposition.
Salt is recommended as good fertilizer
for all kinds of fruit trees. 1t helps to
decompose plant food. Ashes are good, !,
and leached ashes, 800 bushels per acre,
is excellent on sandy soils, helping
mechanical texture and furnishing
needed manurial elements.

The rude representations cut on rocks
near the Lacs des Merveilles, Switzer
land, have long been a puzzle to arch
biologists. Some have believed that
they were the work of soldiers of Han
nibal. (What busy people these soldiers
must have been from first to last.) The
most satisfactory explanation of the
origin of these figures has just been
given by NJ. Chiquet. He says that at
certain seasons of the year shepherds
would find near the rocks some herbage
for their sheep and goats. To vile
away the weary hours, the shepherds
amused themselves in cutting the figures
which have cost days of Owlish study to
savans, who are more inclined to look
for mysterious and remote authors of
such things, than to accept an obvious
and commOn-sense view.

A FRIEND of ours was travelling, day
or two since, in the vicinity of Buxton:
While crossing bridge he was stopped
by some young men, one of whom ad-
dressed him as follows: Say. mister,
got any whisky with you ?" mo, sir, y
politely responded our friend. "Don't
yer never drink whisky?" ''No, sir. ;"
"Waal, that is too bad. l should like
mighty well to get some good whisky,
but we can't get none here. Tell ye
what it is, stranger, its dangerous stuff
they have hereabouts. We are bound
to drink il anyhow, but We draw lots to
see which shall drink it first. The one
that draws it goes in and sits down. We
all wait an hour, and, if he amt dead ,
then, we all drink; if he is We try an
other place.

DOMESTIC.

RULES OF TABLE ETIQUKfTE.-Do not
keep others waiting for you either at
the beginning or the close of a meal.
Don't sip soup from the tip but from
the side of a spoon. Be careful not to
spill or drop anything on the table cloth.
Keep your plate clean; do not heap all
sorts Of food on 1t at once. In passing
your plate to be refilled retain your
knife and fork. When asked for dish,
do not shove but hand 1t. While drink
ing do not look around. Instruct the
servant to hand the cup at the left side,
so that it may be received with the right
hand. Do not drink your tea or coffee
without first removing the teaspoon
from the cup to the saucer. Use the
knife for cutting only; never put it to
the lips or the mouth. Break your
bread into small pieces and rest them
on your plate while spreading. Do not
eat too fast; besides giving one the ap-
pearance of greed it is not healthy. If
you find anything unpleasant in your
food put 1t aside as quietly as possible,
without drawing the attention OF others
to 1t. Do not open the lips or make any
unnecessary noise In chewing. Do not
touch the head. Do not rest the elbows
on the table. Be thoughtful of and at
tentive to the wants of those about you.
Converse on pleasant subjects with those
sitting near you. Do not say anything
not intended for all present to hear.
Leave your plate with the knife and
fork lying parallel. the handles point
ing to the right. Never leave the table
before others without asking the lady
or gentleman who presides TO excuse
you.

COFFEE STEEPERs.-Be careful to keep
the coffee (or tea) steepers clean; they
should be almost as bright inside as out.
From continual use thin coating forms
on the inside of the sleeper, which in
time becomes rank and taints the flavor
of the coffee. Always rinse the steepers
with boiling water after using, and at
least twice week throw in table
spoonful of pulverized borax; fill the
sleeper nearly full of boiling water and
let it boil up for 10 or 10 minutes; scour
it well with borax, rinse in hot water,
and wipe out perfectly dry.

OIL for Lubricdting.-The spontaneous
combustion of oily refuse, and the
relative inflammability of the different
oils employed for lubricating purposes
have been made the subjects of series
of experiments, with cotton, linen. jute
and woolen waste, by Glasgow
chemist.
The materials i'm this case were placed
in a box of tin, having a 1ouble bottom
in which steam entered, SO that the
part which received the refuse could he
maintained at temperature of $50
degrees; thermometer was inserted in
the oily substance, SO that the variation
of temperature occurring therein could
be noted. The results obtained show
that any vegetable or animal oil in
eyitably takes fire after IL few hours,
under the above conditions; on employ
ing cotton waste, the mass burns
quickly and with flame, in contact with
the air; wool refuse is slowly trans
formed into black carbonaceous mass I;
though the precise length of time is not
stated.
The addition of mineral oil, known as
lubricating mineral oil, is found to
retard the spontaneous combustion OF
vegetable or animal oil, il mixed in
small quantity; if large amount
be added, Inflammation is entirely
prevented. The mineral oil used
in this case was very dense pro-
duct, having great viscosity and emit
ting no infiammable vapors, even in
contact with an ignited body, at any
point below 33S degrees-in other
words, remaining safe of temperatures
at which mixtures OF less dense mineral
oil burn. The addition at forty per
cent. of mineral oil is sufficient TO pre-
vent spontaneous combustion. Twenty
per cent. doubles the time necessary to
determine conditions favorable TO the
same.

To MAKE whitewash that will not
wash OIL by the rain, one peck of lime
should be slaked in five gallons OF
water. in which one pound of rice has
been boiled until it is all dissolved. The
rice water should be used hot, and the
mixture covered up closely until the
lime is slaked. Then add pound OF
salt, and the wash heated to boiling
when used. 1t is not an expensive pre-
paration. 1t can be prepared by any
person wishing TO use good wash, and

and loudly called for the reading of the
entire correspondence in his possession.
Miss Heller accordingly read:

closely followed by his wife, who merely
stopped to thank Mr.. Heller and ex
claim, with an ominOus shake of hei
head:

SCIENTIFIC.

a Short Lived Ldke.-Professor Flo
panti gives in the Pdtria the history of
new lake in Italy, the formation of
which dates from 1870. In the month
Of January of that year, In the noun
tainOus Commune of Plan del Voglio,
near the Apennine crest which sepa-
rates the province of Florence from that
of Bologna, occurred a great landslip ON
the left of the Ssvena, bringing down
earth, trees and houses, and obstructing
the bed of the torrent to the height OF
30 metres, and consequently forcing the
waters to rise SO far in order to sur
mount the new obstacle. There was
thus formed a small lake on the noun
tain, measuring 30 metres in greatest
dopth, 80 in breadth, and about kilo-
metre long, running over thev valley by
a rapid cascade. The waters of this
little lake had the apparent immObility,
the lsmpidity, and the beautiful azure
color OF the large lakes. Few people
knew anything about this new lake till
Professor FilOpanti gave an account OF
it in the N0nit0re di Bologna, alter a
visit which he made to the place. AL
though the Profes sOr has not been able
to renew his visit, he has taken means
to become acquainted with the present
condition of the lakelet. He learns that
its breadth and depth have considerably
diminished, as might have been expec-
ted, on account of the quantity of earth
and stone continually carried into the
lake by the rains, and still more by the
materials, brought down by the torrent
from above. Propably the lake in ten
or twenty years. though much contrac-
red, will still be recognizable; but in
course of time geoiOgists will scarcely
able to find its traces. However this
may he, the history of the little Lake OF
Savena may well be regarded as in
miniature that of most OF the lakes
formed thousands of years ago, and
which are filled up only in the course
of centuries.
