The Times Correspondent at Copenha-
gen writes :-'tOn Saturday, June rs, vas
inaugurated at Copenhagen a monument
to the poet and fairy-tale teller Hans
Christian Andersen, who died on August
d, 1876, 70 years old. The bronze statue,
somewhat over l~ife-size, is due to the sculp-
tor. Mr.. Saabye. The poet is represented
in modern dress, sitting i'll a chair and
reading one of his fairy tales to all imagi-
nary audience. The place chosen for the
statue is the garden surrounding the vene-
rable castle of Rosenberg, one of the
favourite resorts of the Copenhagen public,
and situate near the centre of the town.
The King, the Queen, the Crown Prince
and Princess, with two of their children,
the Duchess of Cumberland, two OF the
children OF King George OF Greece, and q
very numerous assembly, including most
of the notabilities of the Danish capital,
were present at the ceremony. The stu
dents Choral Union executed a most fell
citous songs written for the occasion by
Mr., V. Bergs0e, a young Danish poet.
The sp~eechbefore the unwilling was deliv-
cred by Mr.. Billie, one of the metropolitan
members of the Rigsdag and q personal
friend of the late author. The day was
fine, and the solemnity was in every res
pect a success

One Of the most remarkable cases Of
Spontaneous combustion on record is
that of the Countess Cornelia Zangari
and Bamdi. OF CesSeua, I:a1y. This lady.
who was in the siXiy-SecOnd year of her
ace, retired 10 bod ia her usual health.
Here Sic spent abou thrJe hours iE fam
iliar conversation with her maid. and in
saying her prayers, and having at last
fallen asleep, the door of her chamber
was shut. As her maid was not sum
moned at the usual hour. she went into
the bedroom to wake her mistress, but
receiving no answer she opened the Win
dow aud saw her corpse on the iOOr IN
the most dreadful condition. At the
distance uf four feet from the bed there
WAS a heap of ashes part ot the body
was. half burnt, the stockings remain
ing uuiuiured mCSt OF the body WAS
reduced TO ashes. The air in the room
WAS charged with floating scot (animal
cdrbun( The bed was not injured.
From an. examination OF all the CircUm-
stances OF The case, it has been geHcr-
ally supposed that an internal cUEbuS-
jiou had taken place; that The lady had
risen from her bed toicool herself, and
that Oh the way TO open the window, the
combustion had oyerpowed her and con-
sumed her body by a process in which
no flame was produced which could ig-
mite the furniture Oh the floor.

VALUE or SWAMP MUCK.-Some
time ago we remarked that an acre of
swamp muck of good quality. three feet
deep, was actually worth 81. coo. No
doubt such a statement is surprising
So was The statement of DI. Lawcs. of
England that q ton oi bran fed to COWS
returned more than its cost IN manure.
Swamp muck, free fTOm sand. contains
two per cent. or forty pounds of nitro
gen IN ton. Nitrogen is worth in the
market twenty-five cen per pound. Sd
that a ton of swamp muck is actually
worth SO for the nitrogen in il. All
that is needed is To work up he muck.
SO as to make the nitrogen available. -
An acre of swamp muck three feet deep
contains 300 tons. and would require
q ght months TO draw out. at ten loads a
day. Few persons realize the value of
the feTtiliZiuC clements of common waste
matters which lie under their feet. and
the innumeTable tons of matter that may
be available for fertilizlng purposes. and
that much of the Idle and neglected ma
terials represent a vast amount of wealth.

RAISE MORE DUCE~.-I could never
understand why our farmers through
the state did not keep ducks taking il
as a matter OF profit. they are more pro-
htable than hens. II may be the inn
preston that. iu order to keep ducks. it
is necessary 60 have pond OF stream of
water close 10y, has deferred many from
keeping them. but there is 10 need OF
anything of the kind. It is true that it
IS better TO have pond or stream, but
YOU can raise ducks Just as well else
where. i know of parties who are very
successful in raising them they have
only washtUb set in the ground and
filed from the pump occasionally; in
fact, the trouble OF raising ducks. and
about the only one is letting the young
go into the water tOO soon after they
leave the nest. When | speak Of the
profit from ducks, 1 40 not have refer
euce TO the common ducks that we see
every day. / mean a breed of ducks
that will weigh twelve pounds to the
pair, alive, such as the Roueu or AyIes-
bury, both excellent LAYERS, and easily
kept and reared. besides being large and
excellent for the market, and costing no
more to rear than the common ducks
that will weigh eight pounds 10 the pair
The BOueu i5 q very handsome duck i'm
plumage the drake has a glossy green
head and neck down 10 white ring on
his neck. and the lower part of his body
is a beautiful green brown gray, and
shaded with brown on the back. The
duck is Of = beautiful brown, with about
every feather shaded ON the outer edge
with black. It is acknowledged TO be
the best of the varieties. laying very
early and continuing through the season
and late in the winter. The Aylcsbury
is pure white. both the duck and the
drake, and about the same in size as the
ROuen. Both become very familiar,
and being very large and heavy, do not
care TO roam rs much as the common
kind. --uGijo FlUmcr.
