Hereditary Superstition In Saxony.

At one of this years meetings of the
Dresden Naturalists' Society isis, y
says London Nature, Herr Schuster
read an interesting extract from chron-
icle of the town of Meissen, dating from
the year 1880 and written by Peter Al
binus, in which the mines in the envi-
rons of Meissen are described. Among
the natural products Of the district the
author mentions the numerous vases
and Crns which were frequently exca-
waited, and were superstitiously believed
to have grown in the ground. People
at that time believed them to be inhab-
tied by dwarfs, and that when winter
approached they sank down deeper into
the earth; while in Spring, particularly
in May, they again rose to the surface
and thus formed a fiat little cone above
themselves. Although Albinus himself
thinks this belief rather too coarse, and
ventures his opinion that the objects in
question are artifcial-thus showing
that already three hundred years ago
tie interest in these remains OF prehis-
toric times was a vivid one-it is to be
regretted that the superstition we have
mentioned has even up to the day not
yet died out entirely, since great part
of the uneducated masses in Saxory
are still of the same opinion with regard
to the vases and urns.

SAVING SEED CORN.

We have sometimes had no little
difficultry producing seed corn that
would germinate. Some seasons the
corn is not sufficiently ripened before
tine frost. On this subject the Ciucin-
natl Grange Bulletin tells why these
failures occur, and adds few season
able hints on the saving to tomato
seeds.
The perfecting of seed is the whole
end and aim of all annual plants; the
whole energies of the plant, from
termination of the seed down to the
Frost that kills the plant and stops the
flow of sap. are absolutely required to
make perfect seed.
The immature sap of young plant
never could produce q mature seed
it requires all the whole volume from
infancy to maturity, the weak and the
strong life blood OF the plant, to give
the seed its full power of transmission.
Especially Is it necessary that the last
remaining flow of sap from the stalk,
nature by age, the season and the ap-
proach of winter, should enter the
seed. Hence to deprive seed of this
final act is to weaken it; it may have
vitality enough without it to grow and
produce other seed, hut it is itself i'm
mature, and must produce immature
seed.
To gather corn In the glaze state,
and hang 1t up In the shade, Is to de-
privs It of all the mature sap of the
plant, aud also the ripening influence
of the sun.
Nature never ripens seed in that
manner. She gives it every chance,
every influence, every particle Of nour-
ishment from the suns rays, the nights
dews, and the perfecting influence of
the waning season. This much for
corn especially, but also for all others.

HOW SOME TROUT SAVED A YOUNG
GIRL FROM DROWNING.

One of the most remarkable evidences
that fishes possess reasoning power is
related to US by reliable gentleman,
which we hasten. to lay before our read
ers. Our informant has on.his grounds
an artificial trout pond, which contains
at least 5000 spotted beauties, weighing
from half to two pounds each. The
gentleman has little daughter, five
years of age, who may well be called the
queen of the speckled beauties This
little miss has succeeded in training the
fish, so that she can go to the pond,
and with a handful of crumbs feed them
from her chubby fat hands. The fish
have learned to jump up out ofthe water
and snatch a worm from her fingers.
They seem exceedingly fond of her, in
Gct,;hey are said tc perfectly adore their
little queen. On Thursday last the little
one was standing near the edge Of the
pond, where the water was quite deep.
While reaching over to drop a few
crumbs to her subjects she suddenly lost
her balance, and pitched headlong into
the water. She says that she "went way
down." when she felt something under
meath her, and she quickly rose to the
surface, where she put her little lungs to
their utmost test and called Justly for
help. Her cries quickly attracted her
parents, and they were Mortified at see
ing the little girl floating upon the sur
face of the pond. The father rushed
quickly to the waters edge and reached
out for his treasure, and as he raised her
from the water a perfect solid mass of
trout were found beneath her. These
faithful subjects of the little queen, as
she fell, quickly gathered beneath her,
and thus showed their love for their
mistress by bearing up her body until
aid arrived, thus preventing her from
meeting a. .watery grave, which she would
have otherwise done. Parents who haye
little ones can imagine the parents love
for these trout, when they remember
that their sagacity saved the life of their
little daughter.-WhitehaU Times.
