The Wandering jew from a Hebrew
IPOiut of View.

The legend of the Jew, says a Jewish
tyeGrl AyM' I'll" }E~iridiCcihxTi66in V61f'F J5eg&5n6
the present day, is spread over many
European countries. The accounts,
however, as in all fables, do not agree.
One version is this: When Jesus was
led to death, oppressed BY the weight of
the cross, he wished 20 rest himself near
the gate at the house of Ahasureus. This
man, however, sailed forth and thrust
him away. Jesus turned toward him,
saying;
shall rest" but thou shalt move on
till | return"
And from that time he has had no
rest, and is obliged necessarily to wan
der about. Another version is that
given by Matthew of Paris, a monk of
the thirteenth century: When Jesus
was led from the tribunal of PLATE, to
death, the doorkeeper, named Cartati
lous, pushed him from behind with his
foot, saying:
Walk on, Jesus, quickly why dost
thou tarry ?"
Jesus looked at him gravely, and
said:
81 walk on, but thou shall tarry till
| come"
And this man, still alive, wanders
from place to place in constant dread of
the wrath to come. A third legend adds
that this wandering Jew falls sick everv
hundred years, but RECEIVERS and renews
his strength hence it is that, after so
many centuries, he does not look much
older than a s~eptagerarian. Thus much
for the legends, No one of the ancient
authors alludes TO this wanderer. The
first who reports such a thing is a monk
of the thirteenth century, when, as is
known, the world was full of pious
frauds, even to disgust. However, the
story has spread far and wide, so that il
has become a proverb. He runs like a

The Late Queen OF Snnin.

There are few who will not, in sym
pathy, join the circle of mourners in
Spain who are now bewailing the death
of the girl-queen, taken away in her
youth, and almost in the honeymoon OF
her bridal happiness, in Madrid Wednes-
day. Moria de las Mercedes, the wife OF
Alfonso XII and Queen of Spain, was
but eighteen years of age on Monday,
when she was lying upon that bed OF
sickness which has proved her bed of
death. But a few short months ago all
Europe rang with accounts of the bril-
liancy OF the marriage in the church of
the Atocha, which seemed to herald SO
many years Of happiness to the welded
cousins. For, unlike so many royal al
liances, it was a union of affection, and
the princess was loved BY all who knew
her. Her husband had looked upon
her from the first moment that his heart
had been touched with all that intensity
Of sentiment so peculiar in many re-
spects to Italian and Spanish lovers, and
the whole nation was gratified by his
choice, whom they knew to be, despite
the French birth of her father, so thor.
oughly Spanish in all her sympathies.
Since the death in childbirth of the
Princess Charlotte of England, and the
insanity of the unhappy ex.E Empress
Carlotta, Of Mexico, il is the saddest
chapter in all the domestic history of
royalty.

The Detroit Free Press says on this
point First we answer, while it is
grass, and not after it is hay, Let 80 cut
and cure" be the watchword and not
''cure snd cut" We have not at hand
any chemical analysis showing the com
parative quality o! grass cut at various
dates in its ~ripeniug, but this fact is in
d%isputable, mat sill kinds of stock relish
hay that y cut before the stalks are

doubt but there is all the nutGiment in
the stalk that will get there il cut Just
as the seed begins to form and after the
pollen has dropped from the blossoms
With clover hsy this every important.
Ia the management OF timothy there is
some testimony in opposition to cutting
very early. Levi Bartlett, an agricul-
tural writer of long reputation, said
many years ago that timothy, having a
bulbous root, must not be moved off
until there is good store of nutriment in
the bulb to secure a vigorous alter
growth, but when he states the time o.
cutting he puts it as "when the seed is
10 the milk state and Just before the
bloom i she'd"
Ga the other hand a writer in the
PraC zeal Farmer says;
There may be advantages in cutting
timothy before the seed iipsns, but to
my mind the disadvantages overbslance
them. Stock may like the greener hay
better, but | have never seen it demons
strated that it is better for them. |
have before me an analysis OF this grass
by good authority, which shows that
there is nearly double the amount OF
real nutriment in timothy when cut
rive than there is when cut green. |
can put my hay in the barn the same
day it is cut, and have no fears of musty,
burnt hay. Then a large quantity of
seed falls to the ground in harvesting
and keeps the meadow renewed every
year. | sm positive that this alone will
pay for leaving the crop until a portion
of the seed ripens. Another argument
in favor of ripened grass is that it suffers
less injury by being cut. Ii timothy is
cut green about July |, serious damage
to the roots follows from the hot sun Of
summer, | do not believe in moving
too closely. Very little nutriment can
be obtained from an inch of the bats
that might be left, and which would
furnish the necessary shade for the
ground and protection to the young
plants. Moving too early and too close
has ruined many q meadow.
Over against this we wish to place the
fact that relish goes a great way with
man or beast and TODD goes farther when
it is in the right state to please the
palate. If we can strike the medium
and cut according to Mr.. Barlett's plan,
we save the plants and make good hay,

The shepherd dog naturally loves the
care of stock, especially OF sheep, and
their natural instinct, heightened by
training, makes them among the most
intelligent and useful dogs that we now
have any knowledge of. Large hocks of
sheep are often guarded, miles away, by
one or two of these dogs, 9nd a single
dog, assisting q man, car drive the flock
easier than half a dozsn men. From
this education it has no wish to leave
the flock, and just as another dog will
defend its master, man, so will this the
sheep. On the approach of a stranger
the dog Immediately advances, barking,
and the sheep all cluster in his rear, as If
around the Oldest ram. Away from the
flock they seem timid with regard to
other dogs, but when with their charge,
neither domesticated nor wild dogs dare
venture to attack them.
These dogs can be readily taught to
bring home the flock at q certain hour in
the evening, Their most Troublesome
fault, when young, is their desire to play
with the sheep, and in doing 50, they
sometimes gallop their charges unmerci-
fully.
In training the shepherd dog, com.
mence when not more than six months
old. The best place to train a pup is on
the road. Teach him first to mind your
word Nearly all directions To the
pup should be given by a motion of the
hand in the direction that you wish
him to 90, aud always accompany the
voice by motion of the hand. After
your pup has learned to mind the word
aud is trained TO march back and forth
from one side of the Rock to the other at
the sweep OF your hand, commence to
teach him to pass up the side of the
flock. To do this, mske a motion with
your hand up the side you wish him to
go, throwing your arm out as you would
70 direct a man beyond the reach of
your voice, and call out away up!" I'M
til he gets hold OF your meaning. To
teach him to go clear round q flock and
90 turn them towards you, repeat the
motion OF sending him mp the side until
he gets partly round the head of the
flock and then call him down on the op-
pOaite side. After be has once learned TO
