PRUNING RAsPBERRIEs.-Till within
a few years no horticulturist has ques-
toned the propriety of cutting off close
to the ground the canes Of raspberries
that have produced crop of fruit.
While most advocated removing the
canes as soon as the berries were gath
cred, few recommended delay of prun-
ing till winter or the following spring.
Those who advocated late pruning held
that the leaves on the canes which have
produced fruit are useful in the forma-
ton of sap, which goes to nourish the
roots of the bushes. At present the be-
lief is general among intelligent fruit
growers that the sooner the old canes
are cut out the better it will be for those
that remain. 1t is now acknowledged
that the vitality of the canes is exhaust
ed in producing a crop of berries, and
that their presence among the canes
that are to bear fruit the following year,
is great disadvantage. The old canes
are likely to crowd the young ones, and
TO cause them to grow in bad FORM

Birds OF Rare Species and Strange
Habits.

IN one Ot NIX numerous anu tlNdl
lively and readable communications 10
the learned societies of France. NJ. Devic
calls attention TO an account of some ri
gantic birds given by an Arabian writer
of the tenth century-name not stated
who has written on the - Wonders OF
India by this term meaning all the
countries washed by the Indian Ocean.
OF course there is a great deal of fable
in what is set forth, in view of SO much
coming from mere hearsay. but NJ. Devic
rightly observes that traditions gener-
ally have some foundation IN truth !;
moreover, his object is merely TO en-
deavor To cast some historical light on
tue remains of the gigantic birds, the
dodo or epiornis for instance, which
have been found in quartenary or earlier
geological strata. Thus the Arabian
author speaks Of a shipwreck, in which
seven sailors got ont Of an inhospitable
island by tying themselves, one by one,
like Sinbad, to the legs of an enormous
bird. In another case some seamen
killed fowl LAS big as bull" but at
ter having eaten Of its flesh We're disa-
greeably surprised at finding that all
the hair of their bodies came off, so that
they found themselves bald and
beardless. The authenticity which
this Oriental author considers
sufficient TO warrant him in
believing and recording such recitals is
not little amusing, thus: "A sailor
told me he had heard people say that at
Solfala there was bird that would take
up a wild beast in the air, let it fall to

VALLEJO, September oth.-For
the month OF July the railroad
company landed at South Vallejo
1900 carloads of grain, for August,
1,635 carloads, and so far the pres.
ent month, 566 carloads have been
received and discharged ut the
wharves for shipment on deep
water vessels consigned to Europe.
The principal shippers are Starr,
McNear aud Sheehy. On Thursday,
one train of eighty care, loaded
with grain was received, which was
the longest train that had ever ar
rived at any one time. Each car
will average from twelve to fifteen
tons of grain, so that the amount of
grain handled at this place can be
estimated. The bulk of the grain
has not yet arrived aud the amount
received will be largely increased
for the next month or two to come.

A CemicaI People

lRlchard Grant White, in the Atlantic. |
Precedence in England extends
even into the servants hall and
kitchen. This is manifested every
morning. At family prayers all
the house servants attend, just as
they used to do here in families in
which that domestic discipline was
kept up. A row of chairs is placed
for them in the breakfast-room and
they enter and take their seats.
The head of the house reads prayers
and the lesson of the day, or some
other part of the Bible. I observed
that the servants in each house al
ways entered in the same order, the
bousekeeper marching at the head
of the line and taking the seat far
thest from the door. And it was, I
am sorry to say, rather funny to
see some dozen or more of them
pound solemnly in and plump
stolidly down upon their seats.

that they did not 60 out in reverse
order, the one nearest the door CO.
ing out first, as would have been
natural and convenient. They
rose, stood in line, and then the
housekeeper went out first, followed
by the servant next to her; and
thus the line doubled upon itself,
the file thus telling itself off, so
that the one who entered the room
last left it last. The order c enter
ing and leaving was the same. On
speaking of this [ was told with
smiles that precedence was strictly
observed among them; that in the
servants hall the housekeeper took
the head of the table, the butler
the foot, and the servants, upper

dignity of their position. What is
