Farming in Norway,

The Norwegian farmer has little
knowledge of systematic husbandry.
His system of rotation is to meadow
the same land for three or four years,
without giving it any assistance in the
shape of top-dressing; to break it up
then for succession of grain crops,
the last of which only will be ma
nured, and then leave it fallow to grow
grass without seed. Root crops, ex-
cept potatoes, are never grown, and
the land is MANFRED, on an average,
once only in seven or eight years.
The Norwegian peasant proprietor,
too, like the small Irish tenant, al
ways keeps twice as much stock as he
can feed properly during the winter,
and supplements his fodder with birch
and alder leaves, bark of the mountain
ash, reindeer moss, and, along the
coast, with fish refuse. Although an
Improvement 9 is is, taking. place in this
parts of the country that if the cattle
have not to be carried out of the
byres in the spring-f they have
strength to walk-they have been well
wintered. The idea is to keep them
alive only during the winter months
for the butter and cheese to be made
from them in the summer; and it is
astonishing how we'll both cows and
sheep look at the seters in July, in
spite of this winter sulta-fodring
process. On every farm there is un-
drained land. Machinery and artifi-
cial manures are but little used, and it
is only very gradually that improved
agricultural implements are taking the
place of the former primitive home
made utensils. So backward, in fact,
is agriculture generally in the country,
30 poor return does it produce from
the soil, and SO much lis the want APP
parent Of enlightened supervision and
example to counterfeit the mental and
physical sluggishness of the people,
and their want of capital and knowl-
edge, that the State has been obliged
to step in, and to take upon itself the
functions of a resident landlord. Peo-
pie from Switzerland-a similarly
mountainous country-have been inn
ported to show how cheese in quanti-
ties may be produced Exchange.

Mr.. and Mrs. Ames of San Fran
cisco agreed that they were unsuited to
each other, and that q separation was
desirable, but how to obtain divorce
was puzzling. because neither had q
grievance that would stand the test of

husband should give the wife ground
for complaint by whipping her; 50 he
amiably knocked her down, and she
got divorce.

Emigration to the United States.

1t seems that the year 1880 will
probably witness the arrival in America
of 100000 or 100000 European emf
grants, as was annually the case from
1852 to 1860. The number of emf
grants landed in New York for the pres
ent month up to the 23d, was 1920,
or more than double the whole emigra-
ton during the whole of March last
year. Many more are daily expected by
the various steamers from Bremen, and
the not less numerous from Hamburg.
1t is asserted that German emigration
to the United States will reach this year
unprecedented proportions, and that the
current will flow, not only from the
starving districts of Silesia, but from all
parts of the German Empire The
principal cause Of the exodus is the re-
sumption of business in America.
Among its secondary causes may be
placed the warlikc policy of Mr.. de
Bismarck, and the fear of war between
Germany and one or more Of its power
full neighbors. These views on the part
of Franco-American journal harmonic
with those of all the New York papers.
Besides, the great emigration season has

An Astonlshed Sexton.

A gentleman while attending church
one evening found that his feet were icy
cold, so that he had to raise them of
the floor. Calling the attention of the
sexton to the fact, the latter said, with
some perplexity:
eyes, we have a good many COM
plants of cold feet from others; but }
don't understand the reason why we
can't keep the church warm-we surely
have fire enough"
So saying he pointed to the register
in the floor directly behind the gentle
man, in the adjoining pew. Looking
around, the latter could see that there
was hot fire in the furnace beneath,
and vet no heat came up. When a
handkerchief was laid over the register
il scarcely stirred. The visitor asked
the sexton:
"Have you any means of ventilation
"No, sir"
care there no windows open Z"
"None whatever"
GLOW, then, can you expect the air
to come in here if it can't get out some
where 7"

ono, sir"
"Do you think If you did, that you
could force any more air into a bottle
by blowing than was in it before 2"
He couldn't say Never had thought
of it.
"Well," continued the gentleman,
"you would soon find, if you tried, that
it was impossible, and neither can you
force air into this church through a reg
lister if you don't open a window or
some other orifce"
"But," the sexton demurred, "opening
a window would let in the cold air,
wouldn't itl'
"You just try it," was the response.
"Raise some of the windows Of the lee
ward side of the church and see what
will happen"
1t was done, and instantly the hand

way to the ceiling with the force of the
ascending current The sexton stood

Railways and Color Blindness

Recently there has been unusual at
tention given to the subject of color
blindness as related to railway accidents.
The theory, that defective eyesight in
capacitates many railway employees for
Trustworthy service in the manipulation
of switches and the management Of
trains by signal, has awakened pro-
found interest, if not considerable
alarm, on the part of many, and the be-
lief that defective eyesight is growingly
prevalent has increased the desire for
some practical test of the fitness Of re-
sponsible railway employees for the
places they hold. The Pennsylvania
railway has begun an examination
which promises to exhibit valuable sta
tistics as to the prevalence Of
color blindness, and to establish coma
dence in that roads security from the
accidents which result fro II installing
signals. More than 5000 men are to
be examined, and the result of the expe
riment must be of much scientific value,
whatever the effect upon the practical
operation of that great railway. In
these days of universal reading, and Of
the excessive use of the eyes at night,
eye diseases multiply, and extensive in
designations of this subject will perhaps
not only add security to railway travel,
but also reveal the causes of defective
eyesight, and to some extent lead to
their removal.

A Fool and His Money Soon Part.

A band of gypsies encamped near the
town of Princeton, Ind, last October.
One of the female members of the band
succeeded in making VIM. Jessop, q
well-to-do resident Of the town, believe
that she could tell him where he could
get large fortune. 1t was first neces-
sary that Mr.. Jessop should place in the
hands Of the gypsy $4,000 He placed
the money, which was in bank notes, in
a red handkerchief. The woman took
the money and held it in her hand, but
the charm did not work and she re-
turned it to the owner. Frequent meet
ings were held, but each time with the
same result. AT length Mr.. Jessop, who
owned wooden mill and flour mill in
the town, told the gypsy that he wanted
to use the money, and that she would
have to tell him of the fortune at the
next meeting or not all. This was in
January last. Another meeting was
arranged, and the gypsy again took the
handkerchief containing the money, and
after holding it long time in her hand,
and making many mysterious signs, she
returned it. She urged Mr. Jessop not
to say anything about the transaction to
anybody, asserting that if he did it
would "break the CHARM" and he would
lose the promised fortune Some time
afterward Jessop looked into the hand
ker,hief, which had not been
opened, and found that the money had
been replaced by a number of pieces Of
newspaper cut in the shape and size of
bank notes. Deputy Sheriff r. T.
Jingle, of Princeton, traced the band of
gypsies TO different places, and finally
discovered Timothy Worton, who, he
claims, is member of the band, at No.
80 Hicks street, Brooklyn. Accom-
panied by Detective John Rail, of the
Central Office, Jingle went to the house
yesterday morning armed with wal
rant issued by Justice Walsh. Tie
officers found in the house Worton and
his wife, and two girls sick with
pneumonia. Searching the rooms occu-
pied by the Wortons, the officers found
$1,000. The man and woman We're
rested and taken before Justice Walsh,
who, on the affidavit of Tingle, con-
mitted them for examination on a charge
of larceny. Mr.. Jessop was telegraphed
for, and is expected to arrive in Brook
Ign tomorrow or next day. The Wor-
tons deny the charge, but Jingle insists
that Mrs. Worton is the woman who
took the money from Jessop.-New

was irhexible. The woman was turned
over to Mr.. Ferris, and in short time
the cause of her trouble was made APP
parent 1t was forty yards of fine

wrapped around her person. The
woman had recovered from her illness

fronted by the inspector. He, on the
contrary, was quite uudismayed, and

The Trial of an Engaged Girl.

After all, the yoke of marriage is an
apparatus that should sit on two pairs
of shoulders, and there is nothing very
seemly in seeing girl wait to wear her
own part Of it until it has been nicely
padded with quilted satin. Looking at
the matter from less elevated point Of
view, long engagements are rather tire
some in restricting the liberty of girls.
Miss Jenny, who is going to marry Mr..
Simpson as soon as that hopeful young
man gets a living, is obliged in the
meantime to deny herself many pleas
ures, lest Simpson should take ofiense.
She must eschew balls she must take
care that nobody makes love to her, and
for this purpose she is obliged to let all
corners be speedily informed of her en-
sagement Unhappily, the symbolism
OF rings is always unregarded, lest the
chance corners might discover the fact
for themselves by looking at the Sec
ond finger of Miss Jenny's left hand.
If Jenny has no sisters to talk OF her
betrothal, and if her mother does not
accept timely hints to mention it on
every necessary occasion, or the engage
ment is not announced in the Home
journal, the girl is rather embarrassed
for words in which to convey the news
delicately to strangers. She cannot al
lude to Mr.. Simpson as "Johnny"-that
would be too familiar she cannot speak
of him as ''Simpson," for this would
sound strange but if she refers to- him
frequently as "NIr. Simpson," strangers
might draw undesirable differences from
her familiarity with person thus ccldly
specified. Then the engaged girl has got
to put up with a great deal of chat,
which is only pleasant for while, and
afterward becomes intolerable. The
trials of matrimony are often COM
merded to her impatient attention bv
way of paternal rebuke: "Ah, my
dear, you will find ont that | was right
when you are wife yourself p and so
forth, or snub is put upon her too
hasty wish to consider herself free by
the reminder that she is not married
yet, and that there is many slip be-
tween cup and lip. Sometimes Simpson
is actually held up to her as a DOGGY
"My dear, l think Mr.. Simpson would
be sadly grieved to hear you express
those opinions = or, "Jenny, | am sure
Mr.. Simpson would not think it proper
for you to play croquet with Captain
Mallet.' There is enough in all this to
make a girl sit down and scream
