for all early planted potatoes it Is
best to go over the vines every other
day until the middle Of June. After
that they will need little or no care.
Late planted potatoes can be entirely
freed from beetles by two or three
thorough pickings while the plants
are young. The entire secret of
success in fighting the potato beetle
is thorough work from the very first.
The above from the Country Gentle
man. We would suggest that where
hand picking is resorted to the per-
sonal supervision Of the owner will
be required. In our own experience
we have found that persons en-
pioyed to clear field of potato bugs
are apt TO be very careless. An old
Irish gardener, who cleared q two
acre lot, with suspicious celebrity, was
found, upon inquiry, TO have gone
between the rows with q leafy
branch and knocked them off. If the
eggs are carefully searched for bat
few Of the young bugs will make
their appearance.

PsrplszItIes of English TITLES.

A writer in Temple Bar thus illus
trates some Of the perplexities Of English
titles: . Suppose the Lady Mary Smith,
an earls daughter, marFies the Lord
John Jones, a dukes younger son. The
bridegroom is Of higher rank than the
bride, who. therefore, becomes the Lady
John Jones, taking his rank; but If she
rejects Lord John and married Lord
George Brown instead, whose father is
only marquis, then she will be Of the
higher rank, and viii retain her maiden
designation Lady Mary becoming
Lady Mary Brown, just as If her hus-
band were an honorable or baronet, or
commoner Of any kind. If, however,
our supposed Lady Mary Smith, instead
OF giving her hand to either of the
younger sons mentioned above, aspires
to a eoronet and marries a baron, she
will actually lose rank in one sense,
for she viii rank as q baroness. who is
lower than an earl's daughter The loss
OF conventional rank is supposed to be
fully compensated by the superior digni-
ty which doth hedge an actual peeress
A similar anomaly exists in the case of
an English bishopric being accepted by
clergyman who is by birth Of higher
rank than q bishop. For, unless he Is a
eount, or g temporal peer of some higher
grade still, he takes rank, on entering
the House Of Lords, as bishop, that is,
Is a senior baron. Hence, Lord Arthur
Heryey, the son of marquis, lost rank,
technically speaking, upon taking his
seat rs bishop of Bath and Wells, SINCE
marquis's younger son is higher than q
bishop. And anomalous as il may seem,
his wife is now Of higher rank than him
self, though deriving her rank from him;
for his lordship ranks as a bishop, or
senior baron, while her ladyship ranks
as the wife Of marquis younger son, q
bishops rank not being communicable
to his wife.
Another anomaly may be noticed
here, viz, the case of q lady who mar
ries lord of lower rank than herself.
VIXEN he is an eldest SON hearing, by
c4ertesy, his fathers second title. In
thiS case the lady would gain no compen-
sation as q peereSs by sharing her hus-
bands rank, and, therefore, In accord
ance with the usual principle that ladies
are allowed TO retain after marriage any
higher rank which they have previously
enjoyed, she is known by her husbands
courtesy title, exactly as If it were q sur
name, her own Christian name being
placed before it. Thus Viscount Sandon.
an Earl's eldest son, married Marquis
who is not styled 'Yiscountess Sandon,'
but the lady Mary Sandon. II the
married pair are of equal rank it Is usual
for the lady to share her husband s rank,
instead of insisting upon displaying her
own .

THE IRISH LANGuAGE.-In q paper re-
Gently read before the Statistical Society,
Mr.. Rayenstein states that the Celtic por
tion of the population Of the British Isles
makes total of nearly 2, ,200, 900 souls,
of whom nearly one-half are Welsh.
Further, we are told that in 1851 there
were few Irish counties in which the old
language had altogether died out; the
localities in which Irish was then spoken
makes total area of nearly 10 900 square
miles, with population not far under
], 500, 600, of whom 1913 per cent. spoke
Irish, while in 1871 the Irish area had sunk
below 5000 square miles, with a popula-
ton under SOC, 900, of whom about 63
per cent, or considerably less than
400 900 spoke Irish only. Lastly, il ap-
pears that probably not 5000 persons
throughout Ireland were then able TO
read an Irish book, and not a single Irish
newspaper was being published. This
contrasts strongly with the state Of
things among the Welsh, who print over
thirty newspapers and periodicals Of va
rious kinds, while the Welsh in America
have several fourishing newspapers and
hold eisteddfods without number in the
country of their adoption. We have no
statistics of the Celtic element in North
America, though it is well known to be
considerable, but SO far as concerns the
Irish portion of it, there would be no
great error in supposing that the Irish
language loses ground among the emf
grants much faster than among those left
behind in Ireland.

Burmah's Drunken king.

Instead Of getting crowned In the
beginning Of the Burmese year, az
had been expected, Theebau, being
'primed for something, resolved to
have some fun out Of the Burmese
Water Festival. 1t Is customary at
this feast for young men and maid
ems TO douse one another with water, q
performance accomplished with much
good humor and laughter, and not
little immortality. Theebau dressed
up his Letthoudau, his pages of honor,
in fancy costumes and tigers and
bellows, or monsters of ell sorts,
and having furnished them with plen.
tiful chatties of water, sent them off
to souse the princesses in the palace
prison. What might have been a
joke had tho ladies been free, proved
q most dismal business. At first they
thought the end had come, but, when
II was discovered TO be only piece OF
coarse pleasantly, there was u scene.
Halfthe younger womenfainteda away
and covered shrieking in the corner,
while the older stormed and seolded
as only Burmese women can scold.
The kings little pastime therefore
proved a failure, and he was thrown
into u corresponding bad temper.
The murder of few children since
then is said to be the result. Ger
tain II is that two innocents not more
than ten years old have been done
to death, and possibly more have
shared their fate. Theebau has
obliterated the ono sign OF human
feeling he displayed in the February
bntchery. A little fellow, the son of
the Tsobin Prince, tho mad Prince,
as he was called, was brought before
the king of Skako 10 him before be-
ing handed over TO tho executioners.
The poor boy was half dead with
fear, but when he raised bis eyes TO
the throne and saw who was there
be clapped his hands with delight
and cried: "Oh, that's Theebau;
Theebau won't let them do me any
harml" A murmur OF pity went
round the ring of courties, and Thee
bau said, after little pause: "What
has become OF the pony gave you
once7" "Oh," said the child, sadly
enough, 1--WE are very poor now; we
had 10 sell that" So the king
motioned with his hand, and the
poor boy was taken back 10 gaol.
Ten days ago, by order of Theebau,
a blow from u club on the throat
ended the poor things misery.

Lone AND SHORT SLEEFERs. -Seamen
and sailors, from habit, can sleep when
they will and wake up when they viii.
Captain Barclay when performing his
wonderful feat of walking 1000 miles in
as many consecutive hours, obtained
such mastery over himself that he fell
asleep the minute he lay down. The fac
ulty of remaining asleep for length of
time is possessed by some individuals.
Such was the case with Quinn, the cele-
brated player, who would slumber for
twenty-four hours successfully; with
Elizabeth Orvin, who slept three-fourths
of her life; with Elizabeth Perkins, who
slept for a week or fortnight at time;
with Mary Lyell, who did the same for
three successive weeks; and with many
others, more or less remarkable. A phe-
nomenon of an opposite characterS is
sometimes observed, for there are other
individuals who can subsist on q sur
prisingly small portion of sleep. The
celebrated General Elliott was an in
stance of this kind; he never slept more
than four hours out of twenty-four. In
all other respects he was strikingly abb
stinent, his food consisting wholly of
bread, water and vegetables. In letter
communicated to Sir John Sinclair by
John Gordon of Swine, mention is made
of q person named John Mackey of Skier
ny, who died in Strathnave in the year
1897, aged 81, he only slept on an aver
age four hours in the twenty-four, and
was remarkably robust and healthy
man. Frederick the Great of Prussia,
and the iIlustrious surgeon, John Hun
ter, only five hours during the same pc
riod. The celebrated French General,
Pichego, informed Sir Gilbert Blanc that
during whole years campaign he had
not allowed himself over enc hours sleep
in the twenty-four.

TRIcKED AT Hrs FooD.-A Boston boy,
recently returned from the West, tells
Causeur of restaurant experience that
befell him out beyond the Mississippi.
The waiter had brought him something
which did not come up to his expeeta-
ti0ns. He called the waiter and COM
planned. The waiter said he would
speak to the proprietor, who soon ap-
peared upon the scene g can't eat
this. " said the guest The landlord
looked at the plate, and then, turning to
the young man in patrenizing and
sympathizing sort of way, said, = Well,
I wouldn't" and with that he strode
away. But the meal, though left un-
eaten, had to be paid for Just the same.

BARON RoTHscHILD's WILL.-The will
of the late Baron Lionel de Rothschild
is understood to be sworn under f2, ,7O0,-

the deceased, and is dated July 24, 1865.
Newcourt, st. Swithin's lane. The docu.
ment occupies two ordinary sheets of
letter paper, which were sewn together
with silk and sealed. His sons. Sir
Nathaniel de Rothschild and Alfred de
Rothschild, are the executors of the will.
The testator leaves to his wife el00, 600,
and life interest of G50, 900, arising
from the houses at Frankfort and in
London, together with the residence
in Piccadily and the estate of Gunners-
bury. A request is made that :" my good
wife" shall give e10, 900 to the Jewish

mother is to exercise discretionary

daughters; and the testator expresses q
hope that they viii be kind to their
mother, who had been kind to them and
him also. To his two brothers fsince
dead) he bequeathed sum of 91000 each
TO purchase something in remembrance
of hing picture or anything else. I" The
testator thanked God for the success and
prosperity that attended him, and hoped
the same guiding hand would direct his
sons. Excepting the immediate mem
bers of his own family, above referred
to, no other name or legacy is mentioned
in the will. We understand that there
are some imperfect attestation clauses in
the will, and marginal notes intended
for insertion, but not signed. The tesla.
tor advises his sons of the happy unity
that existed between him and his two
brothers, to which he attributes the sue
cess of the firm, and hopes that the same
kind feeling will continue to maintain
tia position of the house. - London
