fun of it.
I dropped my sewing for moment
to enjoy the sight of those rosy-cheeked,
happy children, amongst whom were
my own boys, when, to my surprise
and amusement, saw the dog scam
per to the further end of the slide, and
take position with the boys for run.
Presently. when the last boy had
gone on, Mr.. Argus followed suit with
a quick run toward the ice, and then,
planting his four feet firmly together,
he also slid over it as the boys had
done, only when he reached the snow
bank, the poor fellow, unable to stop
himself, plunged into it and rolled over
and over.
When he emerged to view, covered
with snow, and shaking his shaggy
coat, l fancied that he actually laughed.

and they-such a roar of laughter

occurrence, and shows how intelligent
some dogs are, and how readily they
can initiate and comprehend matters.

the boys across the street. They had
made q long slide along the icy pave
ment, and were having great sport,
running with all speed toward the
slide, and keeping their feet firm while
they shot over it toward the snow-bank
on the other side.
A large Newfoundland dog was with
the children, racing after them and
barking joyfully at the fun.

oughly the vines must be thoroughly
loosened from the soil to which they
have attached themselves and turned

Setting Out Sweet Potato Plants.

The sweet potato requires a sandy
soil or sandy loan. If the land has
a red cast, so much the better, say not
a few farmers, for it imparts to this
choicest of esculent roots the bright
color which obtains leading prices.
Land that has been in corn or a vege-
table crop the previous season is fire.
quently chosen, though it is not an un-
common practice to plant the same
field with sweet potatoes several sue
cessive years, as they appear to thrive
in the latter as we'll as they do in
freshly-selected ground.
In preparing field for the recep-
ton of the plants remove corn-stalks
and all similar instructions, as these
are not only an annoyance to the
farmer during the process of cultiva-
ton, but prove very destructive to
young plants. Plow the ground as for
any ordinary crop, but not deeply, for
short, compact roots are desired in
stead of the long spindling ones too
often produced. Harrow soon after
blowing and make the surface az fine
as possible. If the plants are to be set
in hills mark out the ground with a
pillow in rows three feet apart each
way; otherwise let the rows be at least
three and half feet distant. For hill
planting apply shovelful of good
stable manure at each intersection of
the furrow and cover it with two or
three hoefuls of soil. When the plants
al to be set in rows scatter the ma
nure evenly as possible along each row
and cover by turning two burrows di-
rectly over it. Apply the manure lib
orally and be certain that it is fine and
mellow.
Row planting requires q larger mum.
Der of plants than hill culture. Both
methods have their advocates, and
good results are gained from each.
Cultivators of extended fields, as q
rule, claim that better crop is gener-
ally obtained for the same amount of
labor and money where the sprouts are
planted about two feet apart in the
row than when planted in hills.
Strong plants having been obtained,
they may be rapidly transplanted.
Throw aside the crown of the hill or
ridge and thrust one hand into the soil,
with the other insert the plant, cover
it and compress it, and if the ground
is dry water it. It is also advised to
water the bed previous to pulling the
sprouts should it be deficient in mois-
ture. From 5000 to 10000 plants are
required to set one acre.
In about fortnight after setting out
the plants require that cultivation
should begin. About this time, too, it
is well to examine the field and replant
wherever, for any reason, the first set
ting has been destroyed. Two hoeings
are usually sufficient to keep the grass
and weeds out of the hills. A free use
of the cultivator will preserve the soil
mellow and annihilate all troublesome
growths. When the time comes to
clay the crop by" as it is termed-the

TR1CHINOsls seems to be becoming
common all over the world. Twelve
workmen in 3 brewery at St. Peters

symptoms, being misunderstood at first,
gave rise to a report that the plague
had broken out, and for a little while
there was general panic.
HERE is one of the anecdotes told in
Germany about the family discipline
of the Crown Prince: "He and his
wife, the Princess Royal of England,
like other parents, like their little boys
to be clean. Their eldest boy had a
childish delight in being saluted by
the guards at the palace whenever he
passed. Complaint was brought to his
father that the Prince refused to take
his bath, and his father, desiring to
punish him, forbade the customary sa-
lutte. The little fellow became indig-
nant at the slight, and complained to
his father that he was treated with dis
respect. Then Prince Fritz said to his
young hopeful: MY son, no guard
likes to salute an unclean Prince The
boy took his bath submissively ever
after.''
IT is not generally known how near

Ger, who had escaped, and warned him
of the true condition of affairs. The
Zulus after their victory dressed them
selves in the uniforms of their victims
and prepared an ambush which would
almost certainly have succeeded had
not one of them impetuously fired his
rifle at Lord Chelmsford's informant
instead of quietly assegaiing him in
true African fashion. The bullet missed
its mark, and the officer galloped of
just in time to save his commander.
A FAMINE next year in Russia is pre-.

about one-third of the crop was de.

that the seed has been deficient; and
J the cattle plague took off nearly 80 pei
cent. of the cattle in many places. To
these must be added the extraordinary
drought of the past half year. Then in
Russia there are too many holidays
(about 100 in the year,; drunkenness
also is widespread vice, whose waste.
fulness is greatly felt. Most of the
land in Russia is under mortgage to
bankers, the proprietors are hardly
able to pay their interest, and the ar
rears are everywhere about 20 pei

"A recent French process for puri-
flying tallow consists in first placing 100
parts of tallow in 100 parts of boiling
water, so that it may melt. A solution
of four parts of crystallized carbonate
of soda in twenty parts of water is then
added, and the mixture stirred, its tenn
perature being kept above the melting
point of tallow, until a complete emuf-
sion of the latter is formed, when it is
heated to boiling, and, under continued
stirring, 400 parts Of water are added.
After settling, the aqueous liquid is
drawn off from beneath, the tallow col
lected and again made into an emulsion
with 100 parts of water, and then
washed with 400 parts of boiling water,
to remove any carbonate of soda it may
contain. The better kinds of tallow re-
quire treatment in this way twice, 9TH
ers three times; for the second treat
ment, to 4 per cent. solution of the
carbonate of soda is employed; at the
third. a 2 to per cent. solution. 1t is
afterward simply washed with water,

The next morning is the LIST of April
l-All-foors Day, with its temptations
to practical jokes and its myriads of
little innocent lies, when everyone does
his best to make fool of his dearest
friend as we'll as his direst foe. 1t is a
bright, sunny morning, that swells the
buds to bursting, and draws up the
blades OF fresh young grass as mag
net draws steel. Dick Roy is in the very
best of spirits; he has persuaded Janet
into believing that he has taken fresh
cold; has assumed a voice as hoarse as
veteran bull-frog; and has been look
ing the very picture of distress, until
the arrival of the postman-just as he
is creeping in to breakfast and adding
to his sisters anxiety by his distressed
countenance--causes him to brighten
up, and in the clearest tone to remark,
"'fon my word, Jean, my colds gone.
Did it strike you that this was the first
day of April?'
An expression of relief mingled with
annoyance mounts Miss Roy's coun-
| tenance.
"You awful boy!'' she exclaims.
"You should be ashamed of yourself,
trying to fool your own sister,"
"And succeeding, too" laughs Dick.
The only letter this morning is one
for him. It is hidden by large yellow
envelope, and addressed in a bold,
heavy hand that gives one an impress
sion of important business at once. AS
Dick opens it and catches sight of the
heading. his face brightens in expecta-
ton, and continues Frightening until he
has read it quite through, when he is
wearing the broadcast of smiles.

THE MINSTRELS.

1t is to be observed that the minstrel
troupe which is to occupy the Opera House on
Monday and Tuesday night is under the
management of Mr.. John Piper and not
Thomas Mcguire, as at first announced. The
senior partner in this combination, Mr.. Bar
low, is acknowledged to be the most thorough
artist in the line of Ethiopian delineations
now on the stage Ali the best part of the
original Haverly's Minstrels is embraced in
this show All the songs, all the jokes, all
the business of this troupe is fresh, chaste,
sparkling and new. Particularly it is to be
said that the entertainments given by these
ministries are entirely free from any obiec-
tionable features or anything which, in any
manner, is offensive to the most fastidious.
We are requested to make this statement;
and, indeed, we suppose that in view of the
superabundance of shows to which we have
lately been treated and which have not been
by any means free from the charge of in
delicacy, the statement is timely if not need
ful or assuring.
