Curiosities of Kleptomania.

OuEhODIu0b "a hAOPSVhAoAA0s
Chambers Journal says: "A lady
was affected with this monomania so
strongly that, upon her trial for theft,
she stated that she had such a mad
longing to possess herself of everything
she saw, that if she were at church she
could not refrain from stealing from
the altar. DR.. Rush, the American
physician, informs US that woman
who was exemplary in her obedience
to the moral law-except the eighth
commandment Awas so addicted to
larceny, that, when she could take
nothing more valuable, she would often,
at the table of a friend, secretly fill her
pockets with bread. Lavater also states
that doctor of medicine could not
leave his patients rooms without TAX
ing something away unobserved; and
his wife searched his pockets and re.
turned to their owners the knives, Thin
bles, scissors, ETC., which her husband
distracted. The wife of another ply
stefan had so strong a propensity to
steal, that, on making purchases, she
endeavored to take something away
that did not belong to her; and two
German countesses appear to have
been guilty of the same vice. The al

quently on parade stole the handker-
chiefs of the officers; and one unfortun-
ate man was SO far under the influence
of kleptomania that, being nigh unto
death, he actually secreted the snuff.
box of his confessor. As to modern
instances of this species of insanity,
we knew a parish clergyman who stole
every article he could lay his hands on.
If out at dinner he pocketed scraps of
bread, table-napkins or anything. When
lodging at hotels he carried off pieces
of soap and the ends of candles from
his bed room. His larcenies became
so notorious that he was ultimately
brought before the church courts and
turned out of his living"

And thsn Comes ed-Time.

Our farmers will soon be done the harvest,
and then follows seed tims for ali summer
fallowsd land. It WAS formerly the practice
to wait till the early rairs had eofteued the
clods and usellowed the summer-falloBed
laads before sowing. 1t was observed, how
ever, that volunteer grain coming forward
with the first rains got good start in the
wsTm fall weather and warm soil, and that
with this early start they KEEP growing right
on through the succeeding winter, and come
to maturity early and yielded better crops
than the wellcultivsted summer.fsliow sown
late in the season. Il Wss observed also that
the earlier-sown grain on summer fallowed
lands generally made better crops than late-
sown grain on equally good soil in an equally
good state Of cultivation. These observs-
lions led to the conclusion that the closer
nature was followed ia the matter of
seeding the better The volunteer vas ns-
lures mode of sowing. The grain dropped
from the ear at the time of harvest lay on
the dry soil or in the small cracks and crew
ices without germinstisn till the rains most
ened the soil and caused the seed to sprous.
Dry sowing il simply following nature in re-
gard TO the time of seeding. BY summer
following the land we help nsture. by giving
the grain g good mellow seed bed. 10 which
the roots can strike deep down and
grow large and strong even during the coolest
winter weather. Experience is now highly
in favor of summer-fallowing and dry or
early sowing. Dry sowing may BE- com

the dry soil as in the sack or biD, ard the

You ask me why love thee, little one
Go ask the leaves that beckon to the rain,
Go ask the flowers that worship in the sun
Why thus they love. then ask me once again.
Go ask the clouds that through the silent night
Lie still and gray beneath the stars cold kiss,
Why with the coming 0: the morning light
They blush to rosy lie, then ask me this.
Go ask the wild bird why his sweetest song
Rings through the wood aisles with the dawnin
day;
Ask the mad brook that leaps its path along
Why to the restless sea it sings its way.
Go k the violet Why its incense sweet
ShOu recompense the one that crushed 1t low,
Tbeu question why kneel at thy dear feet
Why should love-why should worship so.
The sea holds many an isle TO its great heart,
But each isle knows and loves single sea;
know no life from thy dear life apart,
] lay down all the world can give but thee.
Perchance for this when some soft breeze is blown
Across thy lips, thou.t brea he loving word
A secret for my loyal heart alone,
Brought by the odorous summer wind unheard
Perchance for this thou'lt whisper to the rose
That nestles tipdy upon thy breast,
That somewhere in the world thy lover goes
Far from thy love, but by that love confessed,
And lid It breathe thy meaning on the air,
Touched lightly by thy lips ere last dismissed
And will kiss the roses everywhere,
And by its sweetness know which thou hast kissed

MARRIED WOMEN AND PROPERTY
The incspacity Of married woman to be
ated even in respect of her own house in
which she lives with her husband is due to
the fact that, except to the very limited
extent allowed by the Married WOmen's
Property Act, wife is still unable to hold
property without the intervention of Trus-
tees. The owners Of house settled TO the
wife's separate use are, in contemplation
of law, not the wife nor the husband, but
the Trustees, who allow the husband and
wife to live in it. The effect of this per
mission is to constitute the husband legal
occupier. Such occupation as the wife has
is, in law, the occupation of the husband /;
and, although the Trustees hold for her,
yet when, with their sanction, she and her
husband live in the house, the effect is the
came as If the Trustees were strangers to
her. The wife is thus excluded from offices
for which rating is s qualification, but
under some circumstances the parish might
seriously be embarrassed. The husband
being the Tate.payer the wife's furniture
cannot be seized for the rates, although it
is in the house rated so that if the hus-
band has no property, the only way open
to the parish of enforcing the rates ia to
put the husband in Jail until the wife pays
them. Such are the anomalies which arise
from retaining the shadow of the old rule
by which husband and wife are one, and
that one the husband, while the substance
has long departed. All that is required is
a simple enactment making married women
capable of holding property London Law

Jrrigats the Orange Trees.

Experience has proven that il deciduous
fruit trees are kept growing too late in the
fall, there is danger that the tender shoots
and tender ends of limbs may be cut by the
frost and the trees injured. Hence it is best
that irrigating such trees cease about the 1st
of September, to give the wood time to ms.
ture and become hard and frost-resistipg.
Those who were not acquainted with ever
green trees, as the orange and lemon, very
generally made The mistake of tresting these
trees in the same manner they had been &C.
customed to treat deciduous trees. But under
this treatment it was found that cold, frosty
weather wss killing, barking the trees badly,
and great fears were entertained that orange
aud lemon culture would at least prove but a
partial success in northern and central Cal
ifornis. When, about two years since, it was
suggested that the nature ofs ever
green trees being different from de-
cidunus trees, they required different
treatment and that they should be
kept growing through the fall and winter,
by many of our bzst nurserymen. Exp9-
riepce, however in this city and vicinity has
proven the suggestion to have beeR founded
in the correct principle. The orange and
lemon trees are found to Withstand cold frosts
and cold winds much batter when the sap is
in rapid and vigorous circulation. At this
time these evergreen citrous trees are growing
more rapidly than at any other time within
the year. The best way is to keep up the
irrigation and growth.

Budding Fruit Trees,

Nurserymen need not bs informed that now
is good time to bud their young seeding
peach and other fruit trees. They have gen.
orally been engaged in the business some
weeks post, and most of them are probably
about done. But those who have raised a few
trees for their own use may not have thought
about the matter, and it may not therefore
be amiss to call the attention of such persons
to the subject. If peach trees are in damp
soil, and in good thrifty growing con-
ditiop. the bark will loosen up easily
and they may be budded at any time now.
II, however, they are not growing thrifty,
they will need iFrigating Co start the growth,
when budding may be performed It is not
out of place, however, to remind those
nurserymen who are budding peach trees for
their own use or for sale, that the cling
stone is a much preferable peach for canning
than any of the free-stones; and if they
would meet public demand either for trees or
peaches for canning, they will do well to bud
largely of good cling varieties.
