Artificial Infants.

The traveller in a European railway
carriage makes it the object of his life
to secure an entire compartment to him.
self, if possible. 1t is strange that rail-
way travel should develop this form OF
selfishness in men who are ordinarily
generous and courteous. Why, for ex-
ample, should an English curate, who
never INDUCES in tobacco, and who
lives life of the most unselfish devo-
ton, undertake, when travelling, to mo-
nopolize whole compartment by lean
ing out of the window and smoking vio-
lently at every station? Such, how
ever, is the painful conduct of men 9TH
erwise entirely unimpeachable, and it
could be wished that some profound
moralist would discover why it is that
railway travel is so remarkably de-
moralizing.
No method of feloniously keeping trav-
elers out of railway carriage is now in
use which can be called thoroughly
trustworthy. The combined tobacco
and window plan just mentionedis, per-
haps, as good as any other, but it often
tails. The invention of an enterprising
Frenchman announced in a recent
French newspaper seems, however, to
meet long-felt want, and it might be
introduced into American sleeping-cars
and steamboat state-roo ms with excel
lent results.
The invention in question is that Of
an artificial infant-6e6e de roya1e, az
it is called. These artificial infants can
not be distinguished by any ordinary
traveller from genuine infants. and they
possess the vast advantage of being
made to cry at any desired moment
without the help of pins or collie.
The artificial infants are divided into
three classes, differing in quality and
in price. Those of the first class are
provided with voice of the most pierre
ing quality, which gradually rises in
pitch and increases in volume to >
point absolutely insupportable. One OF
these infants is warranted to empty a
compartment containing eight travellers
at the very first station at which the
train stops after the infants voice has
been turned on. The second class con-
sists of infants with an intermittent cry
of peculiarly pathetic character. This
cry will often take effect upon a nerv-
Gus traveller more quickly than will the
prolonged cry Of higher-priced infants,
and as these second-class infants are
/ sold at moderate prices, they are sure
/ to become very popular. The third
| class is small conspressible pocket in

nary coat pocket, but when it is taken
out and prepared for action it makes 8

Near William Purdy's ranch OF

Near William Purdy's ranch on
scott's Creek, near Santa Cruz. Cal,
the forest fires had been raging for three
Or four days. Mrs. Purdy was at home
with her five children when the fire
reached her place. She hurried to the
creek with her children. and ran into
the water under the bridge. Here they
stood for six hours, and with buckets
threw water upon the bridge, which
was in danger of taking fire. They
were obliged frequently to get entirely
under water to escape the terrible heat.
After the fire had been subdued they
came out, but were utterly destitute and
homeless. Chicago Times.

Gallagher were still engaged in converse

Gallagher, who he said called several
times to see Whitehead. A detective be-
longing to Birmingham was sworn and
corroborated the testimony given by other
witnesses as to the time of Wilson's arrival
at tho house Of Whitehead. Colman, an
other witness, confirmed the account given
by Lynch Of his movements while he was
in Birmingham. The coat worn by White
head at the time Of his arrest bore the

The vivid contrast between q host OF
settlers in a new country and an army
of invaders equal in number is sketched
in an article in the Salt Lake Tribune
Of q recent date, from which we make
the following extract:
The Minnesota journals assert that
ten thousand people are passing through
st. Paul weekly on their way to make
homes in the West. Think Of that!
Ten thousand q week, 500,0 600 per an
num-, passing through n city. What
does that signify? 1t means that fur
ther west, where all is silence now,
1000 homes will be planted next week,
and probably 100 times 1000 acres OF
land be put under cultivation, land that
heretofore has furnished nothing save
food to wild beasts. When the smoke
rises over 1000 new homes in a week,
where a week before there was nothing
but barbarism, it means progress. Thu
voices of 10000 men and women and
children all at once sounding and driv-
ing back the immemorial echoes OF the
wild. is music which the angel in the
ann will hear in his daily round and
make a note Of. II means that new
cities are to be created, new temples
built; it means that new thrones to in
dustry, to learning and to order are
about to be dedicated. When Napoleon,
with the Grand Army" OF 5OO,OOO
men, started to make the conquest OF
Russia, all Europe was awed by the
spectacle. There was q pomp and
power about the movement which the
then existing nations had never dreamed
of before. Five hundred thousand men,
with eagles and plumes, with breast
plates and helmets, with horses, can
mons, swords and guns, the terrible
''Old Guard" the Marshals That had
each won his place by deeds OF genius
aud glorious valor, and with all-and
in effect doubling the actual number,
by the tameless energy and superhu-
man of his brain-the won
derful Emperor. That was indeed a
grand picture; SO grand that the white
winding sheet which was made to en-.
fold it q few months later could not
hide it. Rather, it was so grand that
it will move on in everlasting PIANO.

after all it does not in thought compare

The Cultivation of Celery.

To most persons, stalk of crisp,
white celery is an always welcome and
delicious "relish." Those who have
tried it find properly cooked celery
equally pleasing to the palate. Nc
more wholesome vegetable grows; snd
now that it is found to be not only gas
Economically agreeable but of high
medical virtue as 1avine, its popula-
rity is constantly on the increase. There
is no reason why every garden may
not have supply Of this excellent veg
etable, and The American Cultivator
gives some seasonable hints on the best
mode of cultivating it on s. small scale.
Those who only care to raise little fsr
heir own use are advised to buy rather
than raise the plants, as the cheaper
way.
Land that was heavily manured in
the spring and naturally rich soil is
the best adapted to this plant. A few
years ago it was thought necessary to
dig trenches in which TO plant it; now,
however, this is abandoned, but it re-
quires very deep tillage, and it is best
TO draw two furrows, the same as for
sugar-beets or msngolds, and set them
in the bottom of the furrow. The land
best adapted to 1t is moist soil, as it
Is saltwater plant.
The time to set it out is from the
middle to the last of July. The rows
should be from four to five feet apart,
and the plants separated ten inches in
the row. After the first of September
the soil should be drawn up o.the plants
TO keep them compact as possible, and
prevent the branches from spreading.
The more and oftner they are banked
up the better, so as not to cover the
center shoot or bud; if this is covered
the plant will be smothered. There
are number of differ ent varieties in
Gu tivation, but they differ less ia celery
than any other vegetable. The excel
lence of this vegetable depends more
upon culture than u con variety. About
the last of October a trench is generally
dug eighteen inches deep and twelve
lncnes wide, in some dry place where
water willEnot stand; the plant is then
lifted with as much dirt around the
roots as possible, that it may keep crisp,
and II will continue to grow some. The
row, when properly packed, should be
covered with boards, over which lay
er of straw or leaves should be laid to
keep out the frost, and its preservation
tor the winter use IS secured.
