The Young Queen of Snain,

The present Queen seems likely to
live and do well. Notwithstanding all
reports to the contrary, there is nop pros
pect of the advent of the son for whom
both she and her young husband long
SO passionately. She is very happy in
her retirement at La Grania, driving her
four and sometimes six spirited ponies
about the grounds, and giving a smile
and pleasant word to every one that
she meets. For even that stifest and
most formal of Courts lays aside etiquette
and Royal observances In the free, pleas
ant atmosphere of that summer resi-
dence. Dona Christina is said to look
very pretty In her fresh white muslin
dresses, trimmed with delicately tinted
ribbons, and in the shady hats wreathed
with soft gauze, which are her usual
wear at La Grania Such attire suits
her far better than do the cumbrous
robes and rich satins and velvets which
she must assume on State occasions.
She has an extremely pretty figure,
straight, trim, and finely moulded, its
only defect being that it is rather too
straight, the Queen carrying herself so
erect that her waist has a backward
curve. She is a devoted mother, and
may often be seen driving out with the
little Princess and holding the baby's
soft hand in her own. But they say
that neither as mother nor as Queen viii
Dona Christina be content until she is
the mother Of a son. The young King,
I am told, makes a most exemplary hus-
band, his brief passion for beautiful
foreign lady during his widowerhood
having been replaced by very genuine
attachment to his sprightly and sensible
wife.-CoTwe8pOrade1ace Of the PhitaCZct-

Canine Taneies.
[London Queen,l

The Turks have a few good sayings,
one of which is, "The dog banks aud the
caravan goes by; mere noise is nothing"
Another is, that "Fhe dog which is led
out to hunt against his will takes no
game" The Arabs have observed that
every dog banks at his own gate, and
that dog which runs is better than O.
lion which lies down. They think it
foolish thing to draw the dogs
teeth and bark yourself, but
having no great confidence III the an
imal they say: 'Pat dog on the jaws
till you can muzzle it, From the
Chinese we learn that a dog which raises
its tail despises its foe; also that he who
beats dog should think Of its master.
Other rough-and-ready sayings of theirs
are, that 1.-THE dog in his kennel bowls
at the feas, but the dog which is hunt
ing does not feel them;' and that cit is
not the dogs fleas which makes the cats
out. None OF the ancient stories about
dogs surpass one told by Bochart, who
says that when he wrote a dog was living
at Paris, which had watched for almost
three years at the grave of his master in
the cemetery of st. Innocent, and could
not be persuaded to leave it. Once it
was seized and taken to another part of
the city, but as soon as it got its liberty
it went back to the grave. This was in
1860, and during the winter the snow
had been very deep and the cold in
tense. Bochart adds, that if any reader
is anxious to know how such dog lives,
let him understand that the neighbors,
struck with the novelty of the thing,
supply him abundantly with bread,
which they send to the grave where he
sits.

The Growth of Wheat Culture in the
United states.

The progress in wheat culture in the
United States possesses much interest,
and especially IN view Of the high price
which it now brings, as compared with
a few yeass ago.
AS recently as 1850 only. about 9,O0O,-
900 acres of land IN this country were
devoted to wheat culture. BY 1876 the
acreage had increased to about 20, 000,-
900, and in 1880 to about 38, 900, 900.
In New England In 1880 only about
5000 acres are planted in wheat. Yet,
notwithstanding the rocky character of
the soil, careful cultivation has made it
produce on the average Isl bushels to
the acre.
Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois
together have an aggregate of about TO-
100000 acres in wheat, and the product
from these in 1880 was about 10000, 900
bushels. "a ISL
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Dakota
and Nebraska constitute the spring
wheat belt. In these 10000, 900 acres
were, in 1880, planted In wheat, and the
yield was about 10, 100000 bushels, or
eleven bushels to the acre.
During ten years the yield In the
spring-wheat belt was: increased only
$4,000, 900 bushels, while during. the
same period the increase in the year in
the four States Of Michigan, Indiana,
Ohio and Illinois was about 5000, 900
bushels. The small increase and the
small average yield per acre in the
spring wheat belt is regarded as an argu-
ment supporting the assertion that a
continuous cropping for wheat without
fertilization or rotation will decrease
the yield, and is also an evidence that
old land will In time have to be aban-
doned, and the Wheat-felds moved fur
ther west, or a rotation Of crops, alter
mated with clover. be adopted. The
increase in the four Middle States shows
the effect of better cultivation and the
use of improved agricultural machinery.
There are a number of counties IN the
several States yielding more than mill
ion bushels each. In the aggregate
yield, Colusa county, CAL, goes ahead
of all others in the Union, in 1879 pro-
ducing 4, SOC, 600 bushels, an average of
III bushels per acre but in the average
yield per acre Stark county, Ohio, occu-
pies the front rank, producing "a no
bushels per acre. Next comes Portage
county, Ohio, producing 223 bushels per
acre. Michigan has seventeen counties

bushels Of wheat Illinois, eleven coun,

Esquimau Dogs.

Some interesting details concerning
the habits of Esquimaux dogs are given
by Dir. Bessel. The instant haltis called
by the driver the dogs throw themselves
to the ground with their shouts between
their fore paws they rise again to stretch,
and then lie down again at once. Two
Newfoundland dogs, which belong to
the Polaris pack, gradually assumed
similar habits, but before lying down
they always turned round and round in
their resting place, like all dogs, except
the Esquimaux breed, for the author
never saw an Esquimaux dog do this.
Mr.. Darwin, as will be remembered,
has explained this habit ofrunningrou
before lying down, invariably to be OBJ
served in other domestic dogs, as a sur
viyal Of the instinct of the wild ancestor,

which leads him to form a bed in the
grass by this means. Every enc has
heard of the extraordinary yoracity of
the Esquimauq dogs; they will even
sometimes snap off piece of their
masters flesh if carelessly exposed.
One day on board the Polaris, the
porcelain door-handle Of one of the cab
ms fell off, with the usual square rod of
iron attached to it. Five or six of the
dogs made a rush at If, there was a

The Original Postage Stamn.

The first postage stamp ever used in
this country is believed to have been
brought out in New Haven in 1876 by
Z. A. Mitchell, who was then the Post
master there. Mr.. Mitchell, in response
to many complaints Of inconvenience in
paving postage at the delivery windows,
as the Office was sometimes closed, and
it took time At best, finally got a stamp
engraved and printed. These stamps
We're sold at postage rates and proved
very convenient. Mr.. A. e. Lines, an
engrayer of New Haven, has found the

SALT FOR SHEET. Salt will be taken
with ayidity by sheep while on grass.
Where arrangements can be made, it
will be found convenient to have salt in
little troughs at different points about
the sleeping grounds. These should be
SO sheltered asrto be protected from rain,
and elevated so that the sheep can get
at them only with their heads. They
viii soon learn to visit these troughs
when desiring salt, and if allowed con-
slant access to them, are In no danger
of taking too much. The more common
custom is to distribute salt at regular
intervals over the ground, on or near the
range, whence it will be taken up a saw
minutes after being found Under these
circumstances it should be given often
enough to avoid restlessness in the flock
on the approach of the sheperd, and so
scattered as to allow every animal ready
access. Intervals of five days have been
found quite satisfactory, though the
sheperd should be guided in this, as in
other details, by the apparent necessity
of his surroundings. Some experienced
sheperds mix sulpher in small quantity
with salt, though the majority do not
use it.
