TEE prac ice of thinning potato ms to
two stalks in the hill, when they exceed
that number, has been annual with cor
respondent, and his father before HIM for
fifty years. This is done at | o ing time
the superfuous (weakest) stalks being trea-
ted as weeds. The effect ls, as may be
supposed, an increase of large handsome
tubers. The object of cutting seed to sin
gle eyes Is in part TO prevent overcrowdlng

KiraIfy's Elephant Demolishes II Fruit

The idiosyncracies of the educated elephant

the city ways of the rural congressman. The
men who sleep and eat with Bamboo the
dramatic attachment to tho " Around the
World" spectacle of the Kiraliy brothers,
now holding forth at the National, were much
surprised and chagrined yesterday, when tax

find that he had suddenly concluded to take
out his naturalization papers, declare himself
an American citizen, and act accordingly.
Bamboo usually acts as dOcile as any other

tions, dear to the heart of the agriculturist
The next subject for discussion was "When
is the proper time for propagating grapes with
n single eye?" The discussion on this sub
ject was long and interesting one, nearly all
the members taking part. The third query
was, "How is the best way to get rid OF sor

gcstions. Mr., Saul exhibited some fincamed-

PRAYER DAYS AND PLAYDAYS

A good deal OF patriotic encouragement may
be gotten out of the increased observance of
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas. The former
was once almost confined to New-England /:
the latter hardly existed in New-England fifty
years ago. Both have travelled Thank givDg
Day has travelled out Of New England into all
parts of the Union. Common social institu-
tons are a sign and bond of unity and the
religious festivals snrpass all Osher social Gus
toms as migrating forces. The extension of
the domain of these festivals IL not due to
increase OF religious interest and feeling; our
people were certainly as pious when Thanks
giving Day was scarcely known in the South.
and boys and girls i'll newfoundland grew
IN without Christmas presents. The deyel-
opment Of National feeling is one of
the most conspicuous facts by the side
of he growth of the Christian festivals; the
two gruwths are cJntempOraneOus and inter
twined. National as well IA religious senti-
ment seizes opportunities Tor thinking the same
thoughts and engaging IN the sa me celebrations
all over the land and 1t Is probable that the
Patriot gains more than the Christian by COM
IN nity of festivities. For as il spreads over the
Nation Thanksgiving Day becomes less a relig-
ions and h.ore holiday affair; and the adoption
OF Christmas by the sons of the Purilans has not
altered the festive jOyonsness (worldIy as the
old Pur.tans sad) OF The Queen OF the Christian
festivals. But Christianity cannot he dam
aged when people are InnOcently happy in tue
name OF its Founder.
While patriotism has contributed so much to
diflusc respect for the Christian festivals, an
other influence has wrought To the Same end.
WHAT with the Puritan horror of religious
days. what with the slern demands OF pioneer
life and the scattering of the early settlers, We
grew up, as Nation, with very few holidays.
