There are II, 900 acres ofswamp land

table raising. The land, after draining,
is titled with the slightestlabor. Onion-
seed is sown by q hand drill, and the
greatest labor is in keeping down the
weeds after the plant begins to grow.
This work is done by boys and girls.
Hundreds of these may be seen in the
growing season ON their hands and
knees between the onion rows, pulling
up the weeds that the rich soil calls rap
idly into existence. The wedding re-
quires skill and care, as the soil is so
loose that there is constant danger of
tearing. up the young and tender plants
by their roots, or removing their cover
ing of earth. The red onion is the vari-
ETY. grown the most successfully, as the
dark muck gives the white onion dirty
hue, which Injuries its marketable value.
When the onion tops ere at the height
of their growth, their oior fills the air
for great distances around.

How to Protect Carpets from Worms.

In the course of an interview with DIR.
Hagen, that distinguished scientist re-
marked to representative of the Boston
Journal that new carpets should be
treated at the outset as though infested.
If they are well beaten and left in the
sun two or three days, being turned
over several times, they will be freed
from every vestige OF the pest, although
after they are put down there should be
frequent examination of the edges If the
bugs have ever been in the house.
Closely laid floors are in themselves q
safeguard, and the filling of any crev.
ices with soft tallow will give additional
security against invasion. The tallow
can be worked in well, and then the
floors might be covered with heavy
paper so that the carpets shall not be
creased. The Larvae could not possibly
travel where tallow is placed. Insect
powder is useless, and Kerosene or ben
zine has vile odor, which makes the
remedy nearly as bad as the disease.
In reply to statement that in the
writer's home the experiment had been
tried of putting strips of cotton cloth
over crevices in the floor, DIR. Hagen
said: "That is an excellent idea. The
larve do not eat cot on, and probably
could not work their way through it.
You will find, think, that you are very
well protected. Still it would be just
as well to give the carpets thorough
outdoor treatment as l have suggested 81

A Great Swamp Reclaimed.

s A correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from Goshen, N. Y,
tells how 500 acres of pestilential marsh
east of tina. village have been converted
into the richest of farm land through
the wisdom of one man. The reclaimed
swamp is crossed by the Erie Railway,
and was one of the most serious obsta-
cles encountered by its engineers. To
construct foundation for the road bed
it was necessary to drive a multitude of
piles to the depth of 100 feet, and cover
them with hundreds of thousands of
loads of stone and dirt; the building of
one mile of road across the swamp cost
ing more than any other five miles of
the road from Jersey City to Piermont.
Twenty years ago farmer conceived
the idea of draining q portion of the
tract and making it tillable soil. By
ditching, he reclaimed so acres. The
first acre he bought cost him 81. When
it was found that the draining left as a
soil the finest of black muck, composed
almost entirely of vegetable mold, the
price advanced to $17 an acre. AT
ter the 60 acres were reclaimed,
the price still further increased, until
to- day as high as $1,000 has been paid
for the reclaimed land. The ruling
price is $500ian acres. The great value
of the land is owing to its extraordina-
~ adaptability to the culture of onions.
A crop of 500 bushels of onions to the
acre is not uncommon, and the Grey
court onion meadows are celebrated
throughout the country. About 800
acres are under cultivation this year,
and the success of the onion business
in the meadows has led to the reclaim.
ing of similar lands in other parts OF
the country, until it is believed that the
onion crop of Orange County will
amount to 100000 bushels this year.
The average price received by onion
raisers is ST. a bushel. The average
yield is 800 bushels to the acre. The
crop is almost invariably sold for cash
as soon as it is ready for market, and
as it natures early in the season, the

"A-h, how beautiful! how superb"
exclaimed every BODY.


exclaimed every body.
Instantly, all the colors in the banner
on the wall became perfect and true :;
blue was blue, and green, green, and
you know these colors are often mis-
taken one for the other at night. The
colors of the ladies' dresses, soft laven-
der, blue, pink, and gray, were in love-
ly and harmonious contrast, and dia-
monds flashed like little electric points.
Why, every body looked handsomer
than ever they had before. The fine
dark eyes of the Professor were spark
ling, and his face beamed with pleasure,
because he saw that he had given pleas
ure to others, which after all is the best,
the purest happiness. Then he put a
white porcelain shade over the electric
light, and with the softened brightness,
another delighted exclamation passed
like wave over the crowd; for you
know that light like sound travels in
waves, though light beats sound by an
infinite number of times in speed.
might as well tell you here that while a
sound would be travelling leisurely about
IL miles in minute, flash of light
can go the distance of 4SO times round
the whole earth!
The porcelain shade over the electric
light made it seem as if a moon, bright
er than hundred moons, had fioated
down upon us; and yet it was all the
time that mere speck of lightning
chained up, bound down hand and foot
by the Professor.
Soon, by a mysterious turn of his
hand, the light darted to another cop
per wire. This other was all English
application of electricity, and has been
used good deal in England-in dock
yards, iron-works, railway stations and
manufactures. 1t was very bright, but
it flickered little. Then he made the
light dart to the candlestick l mention
ed, which was invented in Paris by a
man whose funny name is Jablochkoff.
| had to 60 to the Professors the next
morning to get this name, for wrote it
first " Bobbleyjosk," then "Bumpter-
hausen," and then Butthurpurttles,
and none of them seemed right. This
candlestick made q lovely light. A
large number of them were used at the
Paris Exposition, which must have been
magnificent at night illuminated by this
imprisoned lightning.
The Professor said that he had tried
to have Mr.. Edison present, and tell US
of his amazing inventions; but he was
so overwhelmed with business connect
ed with electric light, that he could not
come. Let US all hope that Mr.. Edison
will succeed in making electricity the
light that will, like the sun, shine for
all )" for, besides its being so beautiful,
and so true, it will be far cheaper than
any light we now have.-Aunt Fanny,

A Pleasing Souvenir of the Empire.

another Corsican, friend and protege
of poor Camerata, and murdered in his
turn, under London Bridge. His face
was disfgured with vitriol so that the
city police of the period never succeed
ed in unraveling the mystery. Count
Camerata, by the way, was not "a GER

grandson through his mother of the

as cousin at the Court of the Tuileries,
and had just been appointed French

Engineer and Surveyor, and in that ca

Drovement bonds. A widow, who had
known him for many years, asked him
how she could safely invest $4,000,
which comprised her entire fortune. He
advised her to buy improvement bonds,
and she gave him the money for that
purpose. He bought twenty-five $50
bonds, altered the figures to $1,000,
gave them to the widow, and pocketed
he difference between the real and the
pretended investment. He hid the crime
tor several years by taking the coupons
and paying the interest, and perhaps in
ended to finally recover the bonds, but

IT is difficult to say what constitutes
the beauty of a woman. The Sandwich
Islanders estimate women by ther height.
The Chinese require them to have de-
formed feet and black teeth. A girl
must be tatooed sky-blue and wear a
nose-ring to satisfy South Sea Island
er's taste. African princes require their
brides to have their teeth filed like those
of saw. And thus goes the world, the
criterion of beauty differing according
to latitude and longitude.
