The Constant Currant.

My curraut plantation came into bear
ing about 1860, and since that time il
has not once failed to give not only 8
good but very large crop of beautiful
fruit. believe it is the only crop that
have cultivated for over twenty years
without a single failure. Within that
time my strawberries have failed once,
my corn once, and my onions once
Some other crops have been partial fail
ures much oftener than once. I can
see no reason why the currant bushes
will not remain as good as now fo1
twenty-five or fifty years longer, pro-
vided they have the same treatment as
heretofore. The currant may be sue
cessfully propagated from slips. Gut
strong healthy nnas Of Iost yoar's
growth, and cut into pieces of six or
eight inches long. Set them in a
rather damp soil, leaving only one bud
exposed to the light and air. Press the
earth firmly about the young slip and
keep the grass and weeds out. During
the summer you will find that most of
your slips are growing. They should
be left in their beds about two years,
and then set where they are to remain.
They ought to begin bearing the second
year after being set in the open ground.
The old red and white Dutch are about
the best varieties, all things considered.
My soil is light sandy loan, and was
well enriched with common stable ma
nure before the bushes were set-four
feet apart ore way and six feet the
other. They should have been six feet
apart each way.
A few of the currants were kept
trained to single stems, but these all
disappeared years ago. The others
were allowed to form stool of from six
to twelve stalks each. They have been
manured annually with stable manure
at the rate of, L think, twenty-five loads
per acre. They have also been annually
trimmed, cutting out all the weak and
tender sprouts OF the previous year, and
leaving three to six of the strongest to
grow for future bearing. The older
stems are cut out after three or four
years bearing to give place to the young
stems which have been left, and which
will bear both more and better fruit
than the older ones. They are all kept
cut back to a reasonable length, and
bear the better for it. After the trim.
ming is finished, brush carried off and
the manure put on, the ground is all
dug over by hand, being careful to dig
very shallow in order that the roots may
be disturbed as little as possible. A
flock of Light Brahma hens and chick.
ems run among them the year round and
keep them entirely free from weeds and
grass. In this light mellow earth they
scratch and wallow to their hearts con-
tent. They also keep the bushes free
from currant worms, although my
neighbor's bushes, the other side of a
common board fence, have been repeat
edly stripped of both fruit and leaves.
White hellebore will also destroy the
currant worm, and so will the new Per-
sian insect powder, and neither of them
will damage the fruit.-M. SMITH.

landlords show that they are better

more difficult to raise the rent, but the
landlord simply says, " Your rent will
be raised on the LIST of May" and the

Getting Rid of a Tenant.

The Lancaster (Pa.) Ne,O Era says:
A sharp landlord in Pittsbure got rid of
an unwelcome tenant few days ago in
a manner not laid down in the statutes,
and stands a chance of being called on
to bear portion of the expense of test
ing the legality of the measure. He told
the tenant that he wanted the house,
but would give him a better one, at the
same time giving the number ard street
of the house. The tenant, elated at the
prospect of bettering his condition, pro-
cured wagons and loaded up his furni-
ture at once, but on driving to the new
location he found it occupied, and also
learned that his late landlord had moth
ing to do with it whatever. The tenant
had to seek other quarters, and now
he threatens to bring suit for damage,
based on charge of false pretense.

NIackinac Island.

Lieutenant Dwight II. Kelton, U. S. A..
was in the city yesterday making the
final preparations for the issue of his
new book to be entitled "The Annals of
Fort Mackinac," which is to be publish
ed under the auspices of the passenger
department of the Michigan Central
road. 1t will give complete ecclesias-
teal, military and civil history of the
island from 1873 to date being largely
translations from official records. Lieu
tenant KeltOn has received considerable
encouragement from the Chicago His
tOrical Society, which to-day is greatly
interested in the new summer resort now
opened for the first time to the general
public. Five thousand copies will be
published, each of l20 pages, and to be
ready by May Goth.
The book by Col. p. DOMAIN, giving a
social and scientific history of the island
is i'm press and will be ready In few
days. Col. DOMAINS book will contain
much matter that will occasion surprise
and arouse interest, as the true histO-
ry of the island, and the resources of
Michigan, are not generally known

Il hate to do anything to impair your

And, as strange as it may appear, this
odd sentence was faithfully carried out
to the complete appreciation of every one

The New Comet.

With reference to the approaching
comet, Professor Boss, Of the Dudley
Observatory at Albany, in letter to the
editor of Science Observer, says: "In the
first place, 1t is evident from mathe-
matical standpoint that this comet should
have brilliant career. It's light at per-
ihelion should be more than 1900 times
greater than at discovery. But it is a we'll
known fact that great comets at perihe-
lion always exceed in brightness the
limits set for them by mathematical
computation based on earlier Observa-
tions. The display, whatever it is, will
depend very largely on the physical con-
stitutiOn of the comet, rather than on
the question of distance from the sun.
/ believe that this comet has large and
active nucleus; and, If that proves really
to be the case, in June we ought to see
tail of immense proportions. The
briliancy of the display will, however.
suffer m UGH from the presence of dawn
and twilight; and merely as spectacle
this comet is not likely to take the high
est rank. But to comet observers the
behavior of the tail during the critical
DAYS. near June 10. will furnish phenOm-
ena of absorbing interest. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that numerous ObscTva-
tiOns, both before and after periheliOn, of
a comet which approaches the sun within
100000 miles. will be Of estimable SER
vice to astronomical science"

In the stream where tho current is rapid

Or just by the bank, where the skeggers seem

Then throw your fly lightly, and you cannot
throw wrong.

The pheasant to shoot as he flies through the

The Egyptian imbroglio is likely to be
serious one. That country was re-
Gently put under the control of the rep
resentatives of the English and French
bondholders. These people cared moth
ing for Egypt or its prosperity, and as
they represented a wholly irresponsible
and exceedingly rapacious class of
money-lenders, they proceeded to make
all the money they could out of the I'M
happy inhabitants of the land of the
Nile. The taxes were diverted to the
payment of the interest on the bonds,
and what was left was divided among
the relatives and dependents of the
leading capitalists who represent the
bonded interest of Great Britain and
France. Every appointment which in
vOlved salary was given to young
French and English understrappers, and
their compensation increased in every
respect Unfortunately. Young fellows
who would be glad to make bare liviT e
as clerks in their own country were sac
died upon the unfortunate Egyptians
and given princely incomes. There is
no government so mean, so rapaciOus,
as that of the money-lenders, and this
class had full swing in the land of the
PharaOhs. OF course the wrath of the
people of Egypt. especially of the lead
ing classes, was unbOunded, and was
manifested in every way, but as the
bOndhOlders had the governments Of
Great Britain and France behind them,
no heed was paid to the righteous indig-
nation of the cruelty plundered
Egyptians. 1t is difficult to fOresee how
this will all end. The fate Of Egypt is
bound up with the puzzling Eastern
question. Asia Minor, Syria, and the
land of the Pharaohs are destined to be
the scene of many mighty conflicts be-
tweenRussia on one side and England a d
France on the other. Mighty CONNER
cial interests are at stake. 1t is vital to
the western powers that the Suez canal,
Egypt, and the route to India should be
in their hands; but the measureless
greed of the bankers will help the enc
mics of England and France by making
the people of Egypt their active enemies.
