Legislative Truisms.

The twelfth legislative assembly has adjourned sine die, and there is peace in the land. The war-horse of the Hua- chueas, or. as the Citizen dubs h1m on account of the quality of his bray, the "Huaohuoa ass," is laid away in the warm oblivion of betrayed opportuni- ty. For time he disguised himself in the lions skin, but when it came to 8 struggle of brains he was found to be all ass, with no prominence unless physical, and no power except that contained in the breath of his discordant bray. He is curious compound of army record, free drinks and dirty socks. He sailed hls little boat ln calm waters during the absence of Duncan; but when that look of manhood and integrity was fixed in it's accustomed place, the Huaohuca tub went to pieces in a total wreck. Most of the bad repute of the twelfth legisla- tive assembly is connected with the bogus General, and none of it's good reputation is due to him.
 AS we expected, Franklin, before the legislature adjourned, get his 'fipper" into the chicken pie.

Watermelona.

Concerning the selection Of water
melons for eating, the Baltimore Ameri-
can offers the following information.
Some of the critics mentioned may not
be found in our western markets;
"What is called the i-e-rind melon is
said to be the best. It is a round, light
geeen melon, pith a very thin rind, and
the buyer is less apt to be fooled upon
this variety than on any other, as ii is
nearly always red to the rind. The
GYPSY, melon is the long, yellow, green
striped article, generally has a thick
rind, and can not always be depended
upon. The Georgia melon is something
similar in style, but a much better fruit;
comes the niggerhead, a blush
melon, and a great favorite with the
western trade. The Cuban green is an
other choice variety, being a luscious
round, striped melon.

Tomato Plants From cuttings.

Have any of eur friends ever tried to
raise tomato plants from cuttings; and
II SO, with what retnlts? Last fall we
rooted a slip from a tomato vine which
had escaped the first frost ofthe season
and at the same time we planted some
seeds. The cutting is now quite a LARGE
plant, branched out and in full blossom
promising fruit, whilst the seedlings are
stili small without signs of either branch
or blossom. From this experiment we
conclude that, while all the numberless
attempts during the last decade TO bro.
luce earlier bearing varieties of rs good
qualities as some of our best pupular
sorts possess, have proved TO be failures.
or nearly 50, We may still look in anoth-
er direction for attaining the end 50
eagerly sought. Every florist knows
that even small cuttings of house plants
come to bloom just as if they were not
severed from the parent plant and put
on their own resources. Every branch
or sucker of the tomato vine produces
blossoms with the tendency to bear fruit.
Is 1t not reasonable to expect that when
turning such branch into an individual
plant this natural tendency is preserved
the same as it Is in the case of the ger
anium slip? The problem of pushing
frulting season Of this wholesome
vegetable a week or two ahead, can. we
no doubt, be solved by the use of
instead of seedlings.-Midland

The Disappointing History OF Aerias
Navigation.

AllHAOE1 OF AerIHH
Navigation.
The original idea of balloons belong
TO that droll and clever man, Cyrano de
Beagerac, who died nearly a century
before the elder of the Montgoliers was
born. CyIano was the Jules Verne of
the seventeenth century. He wrote a
number of fantastic books, which seem
TO have been consulted by Swift for his
"Gulllvet," VOltaire for his "Microme-
gas" n Fo~ntenelle for his "Mondes."
h most popular of these was "a Trim
Through the Moon" in which the hero
is made to ascend from the earth by
means of bladders filed with hot air.
Etienne MontgOlfier and his brother
Joseph improved upon this suggestion
by substituting one globe of silk for sew
eral bladders. In other respects their
balloon was an adaptation of Bergerac's
idea, for 1t had an aperture at lis base
n which ho' air rose from a charcoal
stove in the car. The M~ontgolfers were
the sons OF paper-maker of Annonay,
ana 1t Is amusing to recollect that their
father, who was ennobled in reward for
their invention, had done his utmost to
thwart it, even threatening to disinherit
the young men If they persisted i'm what
he called their foolish experiments.
But the experiments were not foolish.
for the Nontgolfers thought they were
on the track of.the greatest discovery
ever made When they had effected a
first successful ascent at Annonay and
a second in Paris, in presence of Louis
XIV. and his court, the balloon on
both these occasions being captiye.
all the adventurous men of Europe |
became smitten with a craze for
aerial navigation; and it was assumed
that a way of steering balloons would be
found soon without much difficulty.
The experiments of the Marquis d'Ar-
landes and OF Pllatre des Rollers Quickly
followed those of the MontgOliers, and
in November, 1888, the last-named aero.
neut went up in a free balloon TO a
height Of three thousand feet. The
month an ascent was made from
WOolwich by Count Zambecarri; in 1854.
a Sig. Lunardi started in a balloon from
MoOrfelds, and in 1885 MIR. Blanchard
and DR.. Jetfries performed their famous
journey from Dover 10 Calias in two
hours. 1t is disappointing that there
should have been no progress in aerial
navigation aimee this date. Balloons are
still at the mercy of the winds. Only a
few days ago NJ. L'Hoste tried to cross
the channel, and failed and though ero.

times we raise turkeys without much
care, when the season is specially favor

is the measure of success. A boy ten or
