AN exchange says parsnips should
be planted in large quantities on every

no enemies, and are the only root which
will fatten a pig without anything elsa.
In addition to these facts, they make the
best butter and cheese, and are the best
of all roots for every kind of stock.

Fowls in spring do not suffer so
much, for as the warm days come on
they gradually lose relish for stimulating
food, and thus wean themselves. The
large broods do not stand heavy feeding
as well as the smaller birds. All the
Asiatics, the Dorkings and Houdans
take on an immense quantity of fat,
whether confined or at large, whereas
the Spanish, Hamburghs, Leghorns and

1t is the observation of the st. Louis
journal of agriculture and Farmer that
"the greater part of the soil of England
has been under cultivation for a thousand
years, and yet the land is richer and the
crops more prolific than they were a
thousand years ago. Why, then, should
SO many thousands of acres in many Sec
ton of this country have become so
greatly deteriorated in productiveness in
a comparatively few years? Careless
and unskilled culture must necessarily
be the answer"

The Mule MS a Trainer.

In the mining region of Pennsylvania
where disputes of almost all kinds are
settled by tisticuffs, the mule plays an
important part in the miners training
for battle. He approaches the mule,
which seems to be sleeping, and gives
him a few taps on the rump with the
bare knuckles as a reminder that he is
wanted to take part in a sparring match.
The mule responds, his blows are par
ried, and the sturdy miner gets in n
or two from the shoulder which knocks
the animal out of time. the latter retir-
ing with backed ears and looking deeply
Inundated. A number of gentlemen in
Philadelphia, prominently identified with
the anthracite coal trade, who have been
practical miners, relate this as an actual
fact, and state further that a miner has
so little respect for a mule that every
time he has a row with his wife and she
has the best of him he gets yer by lick
ing a mule, as that is about the nearest
thing to a mad oma that he can get
at.-Chicago Herald.

The Sheep of Thibet.

The sheep of Thibet, which are very
numerous, are chiefly a small variety Of
the fat-rumped Persian and Abyssinian,
with black heads and necks. Some are
hairy, with short wool underneath, while
others bear a long, soft and fine wool.
1t is from the latter that many of the
costly Indian shawls are made. Not a
little of this peculiar wool finds it way to
British India, andi is there manufactured.
This breed is found in its purest state in
the deserts of Great Tartary; no other
variety being near to contaminate its
blood. 1t reaches far into the interior
and northern parts of Russia and is
much disseminated in China, Persia,
Hindostan, Asia Minor and eastern At
RIGA as we'll as Thibet. In Palestine it is
more numerous than any other breed;
indeed the largestproportion of the sheep
of northern Asia being of this descrip-
ton. Professor Pallas conjectures that
this character arises in the ~fat-rumped
sheep from their feeding upon the bitter
and saline plants found upon the borders
of the Caspian and Black seas. And
he asserts that when they are
removed from the places where
these plants grow the fatty excrescence
becomes less. But Garfield says, as
the fat-rumped and fat-tailed sheep are
varieties which are widely dispersed, it
seems more probable that they may have
been produced by accident, and may
also have been perpetuated by accident.
design or fancy. The fat-tailed sheep is
very extensively difused; it is found
throughout Asia and a great part of At
RIGA, as well as through the northern
parts of Europe. They differ. like other
sheep, in the nature of their covering. In
Madagascar, and in some other hot eli
mates, they are hair; at the Cape of Good
Hope they are covered with coarse wool;
in the Levant their wool is extremely
fine. The proportion which the weight
of the tail in some of these sheep bears
to the whole caIcase is quite remarkable.
The usual dressed weight of the sheep
is from fifty to sixty pounds. OF which
the tail is said to make more than one
fourth part. Russell describes two breeds
offat-tailed sheep about Aleppo; in one
the deposit of caudal fat is moderate, in
the other sort the tail is much larger.
The unctuous fat of the tails of these
sheep is accounted a great delicacy alike

Princes In Custody.

The Conciergerie, where Prince Napo-
leon was confined, has twice served as a
prison for members of his family. Prince
Louis Napoleon, afterward Emperor, was
shut up there in 1910 when he was
awaiting his trial before the Chamber of
Peers for his Boulogne expedition, and
Prince Pierre Bonaparte was detained
there IN 1870 after his manslaughter OF
the Journalist Victor Noir. Louis Napo-
leon, who was defended by the eloquent
Legitimist orator Berryer, received sem
tence of imprisonment for life,'' a
penalty which did not exist on the stat
ute-book, but which the Peers decreed
$50 that they might not attach the de-
grading punishment of penal servitude

Napoleon" The Prince was at once
conveyed to the Fortress of Ham, in
Picardy, whence he escaped in 1916.
Prince Pierre Bonaparte was tried in
March, 1870, before a high court, spe-
cially constituted, and sitting at Tours.
He was acquitted of willful murder, but
vas sentenced to pay f1,000 damages
to the family of his victim. Touching
the arrest of Princes, it may be observed
that the police of Paris have under all
regimes had experience in this kind OF
business. Some of the arrests have re-
manned memorable owing to the intense
public excitement which they caused.

and began to give trouble to the French
Government by his intrigues. After the
Government had borne with him for
some time, it was resolved that he must
leave the country, and Count de Mont

rant for his arrest and expulsion. But

Astrological Predictions for 1888.

In 1883 Mars will be the ruling plan
ct. The influence of this heavenly body
upon the irascible humor in man and
animals is well known. Particular care
should be taken by persons of a natur-
ally impatient disposition to avoid out
breaks of temper, especially during the
oppositions of Mars to the moon, which
occur on or about February 81, March
%, April 10, May II, June Is, July IA,
August II, September 10, October 8,
November 6 and December 5 and 81. At
such times, also, bulls should be re-
strained from running at large, and
water should be frequently thrown upon
dogs to see if they manifest any symp-
toms of hydrophobia. Jupiter is sta
tionary ON St. Valentines Day, and en-
gagements made then may be fatal. The
conjunction of Mars and Mercury, on
St. Patrick's Day indicates that large
amounts of money will be collected for
the liberation of Ireland. The first days
of May will be lovely, with a little rain
at night. Poetry of some merit may
now be written, and a thorough revolu-
ton in dress and cookery expected. On
the 9th events fatal to domestic happi-
ness will be extremely liable to occur
Startling developments in aristocrati
families will now be made. No destruc-
tive frosts will happen in this month,
and complaining will be early. From
the I'd of June to the 18th of July, a
severe drought will take place. On the
18th, a European sovereign will die. On
the 26th an ocean steamship will take
fire, with great destruction of life. The
4th of July will be again signalized this
year by an event of great National i'm
portance. On the 7th, however, an in
stance of serious official misconduct will
come to light. Much-needed rainy
weather will begin on the 18th, and
thenceforth the summer will be intensely
hot. The aspect of the asteroid Melpo-
meme now indicates special disaster to
members of college faculties, a railroad
accident being the probable danger
threatened. The 10th will be a day of
peculiar horror. August will be fine till
the 24th. Escaped 1unatics should be
very careful of their behavior during the
whole month. Fits and the falling sick
ness will be quite general after the 14th.
On the Sd of October avoid trifiing, as
it is mt of the dangerous days. Novem-
