The Window Garden.

Vines for. the windows are now the
fashion for all who are fond of winter
gardening. If the window is sunny,
there is 10 limit to the flowers that may
be had from Christmas until spring.
With two maurandias, dwarf nastur-
tium or trapaelum as it is called, an
English ivy, and vigorous plant of
German ivy, or senecio scandens, any
one can make screen for the window
more beautiful than any Raphael or De
Vinci ever designed, for this is the per-
feet original of their defective repre-
Sentation. The vines should be at the
the sides and over the top of the win
dow frame. Then close to the glass,
for, true to its name it loves the sun,
put a heliotrope or two; a trailing win
ter blossoming fuschia, scarlet gera-
mum, and for the sake of contrast
white one, whose blossoms have
bright eye in the center. Do not be
afraid of crowding the plants, but SOW
mignOnnette and sweet aslyssum seed
rs well as the tiny ones of linaria Gym
balaria or coliseum ivy. If intending
to have but one box, do not forget a
liant or two of the neat, handsomely
marked petunia, for they will give .
mass of flowers from the first week OF
blooming until put out in the garden
in the spring. Yellow myrtle and the
plant commonly called wandering Jew
and ice plant, as well as variety OF
saxifrage known as beefsteak gerani-
nm, may be made to droop over the
front of the box, and their graceful
sprays will reach even to the floor.

Potatoes for Animals.

A writer upon this subject has said
that potatoes in the raw state ought
never to be given to animals, with the
exception of sheep and geese" 1t Is
said "a goose will thrive better, and
the flesh will be more gratefully flavor
ed, upon raw potatoes, sliced, than up
on any other article; while sheep viii
more speedily thrive on raw potatoes
than on turnips; but, and especially in
the beginning, raw potatoes will scour
cattle and horses, and not unfrequent-
" cause death, while there is no danger
of either from boiled or steamed pota-
toes" It may be true that they are ex-
cellent for geese, and that they are ex-
cellent for Sheep is we'll known; of all
animals the sheep likes a change from
dry to green food in the shape of roots;
and that they should thrive upon them
better than the turnip, for the reason
that, according to tables, the potato
contains larger fat substance and
tlesh-producing element than the turn
ip Thus fair product is 200 bushels,
or $4,000 pounds of potatoes, from an
acre. which are estimated to contain
2640 pounds of material for the an
iInai system, while the average.
Weld of rutabagas of 10000 pounds
contain only 1910 pounds; and SINH
iaf WELD of turniDs but 400 pounds: so

Recreation. /.

The literal meaning of this wor,
to make over again; but in its OrdiA
acceptation it is intended to convcy tae
idea of rest, refreshment or rather. yc3;
ovation The body is refreshed b
rest; the brain is renovated by sleep
by absolute repose. But body end
brain may be invigorated for "a season
by changing the direction of their re-
spective activities. And also by work
ing alternately. A man who has be-
come tired of riding on horseback or in
a carriage, rests himself, gets rids of
his fatigue by walking. The brain
which has become weary in thinking OF
one subject is refreshed by some other
study. On the other hand, man who
feels tired all over, by work, or long
walk will get rested sooner by sitting
down to read than if he did nothing
Rachel, the great tragic actress, when
returning from one of her performance
at two or three o'clock in the mornin.--,
rested herself by spending an hour o.
two in changing the furniture of hcr
rooms. The best sedative which pub
lie speaker can take after a great effort
is to read newspaper, or anything
else that las a variety of short state
ments.
The great practical idea we wish to
convey is, that recreation is not idle
ness, but change of direction in the
operation of the physical or mental
forces. A French actress lately went
mad within an hour after the play, be-
cause she went home, laid down and
let the mind run on in the same track.
She should have changed to bodily ac-
tiyity like Icchel HATS JouTnGJ Of
T{eQIth.

that relatively to each other they stand
as potatoes 2640, rutabagas, 1440, and
the turnip $40, little better than a third
the relative feeding value.
The chief advantage is obtained in
feeding to mature animals; if bony
structure is to be formed, the turnip is
fully equal to the potato. That an ex-
cess of potatoes fed to cattle and horses
produce i'll results cannot be doubted,
if the diet was exclusively potatoes; but
that small quantity, fed with dry hay,
produces injurious results, is unsuppos-
able. The boiling or steaming which
generally means an addition of more or
less mild feed would be much more
satisfactory. The same writer also
says: Pigs viii not always eat, and
never can be fattencd upon raw pota-
toes, while, if they are boiled, next to
boiled peas, perhaps, viii bring them
to the greatest weight they are capable
of attaining, and 10 greater perfection
than aa}t,iH@ else that may be contin-
uouSly used vita G:fat3, admitting that
threc ho fcu" wrcss' feeding upon corn,

this IS directly contrary TO the expe-
rieuco of a successful pork raiser that
always estimated the value of potatoes
IS four bushels to one OF corn, and al
was fed them raw, for the reason that
-o obtained more satisfactory results.

Lord God sent him forth from the

added the judge, with sly twinkle in
his eye, ''what a great mercy it was to-.
drive them out, for suppose they had
by some chance got hold of the tree of
life, and thus the race had been per-
petuated forever on this earth. Why,
by this time we would have been piled
high upon each other, and
what all awful struggle there would
have been for life and happiness" The
clergyman departed wiser if not o

In paper Oh the origin of the pow,
DR.. Taylor states that the first agri-
cultural implement seems to have
been q pointed stick four or five feet
long, such as many savage tribes still
carry for the purpose of digging roots,
knocking down fruits and unearthing
animals. At later day the stick was
bent and used as a hoe, the point being
hardened by fire. In the southern part
Of Sweden large tracts of land give
evidence of early cultivation, which is
attributed TO prehistoric people call
ed by the natives ''the hackers" who
are always associated with Tie giants
of mythology, and whose rude hoe
was fir poIe with q short projecting
branch. There came into use after
wards larger instrument OF the same
kind, which was not used like the hoe
but dragged by men or oxen. Instances
OF this are to be found in old Egyp-
tian pictures and bas-reliels, anu it
was probably the primitive i;iea OF
the plow which is OF prehistoric or
l.,in, evidences being found Of its early
t.se among the Greeks, Egyptians and
Chinese. 1t hal from tile earliest
times religious sanction. The next
Improvement was wooden hook shod
win iron; and i'll the time of Virgil q
wheeled pIow was in use which differ
cal but little from the best in Europe

The Strongest Man in the World.

Professor r. A. Proctor found at
Reno, Nevada, man who claims to be
the strongest man III the world. His
name is Angela Cardela. He is an
Italian, aged irty-eight, and stands
five feet ten inches in height, weighing
one hundred and thirty-eight pounds
In appearance, good looking son OF
Italy, with a heavy, broad face, noble
development of chest and shoulders,
and large fieshy hands. His strength
was born with him, for he has had no
athletic training. He differs tlou
other men chiefly in his osseous struc-
turc. Although not Of unusual size.
his spinal column is double the ordin-
airy width, and his bones and Joints
are made on similarly large and GEN
erous scale. He can lift man of two
hundred pounds with the middle fin
ger of his right hand. The man stood
with one foot Oh the floor, his arms
outstretched and his hands grasped by
two persons to balance his body. Car
della then stopped down and placed
the third finger of his right hand I'M
der the mans foot, and with scarcely
any perceptib!e effort raised him to
the height of four feet, and deposited
him on table near at hand. Once
two powerful Irishmen waylaid Car
della with intent to thrash him, but
he seized one in each hand and beat
them together till life was nearly
hammered out Of them. He was OF
quiet and peaceable disposition and
his strength inherited, for he states
his father was more powerful than
himself. A number Of wonderful sto-
ries are related about the power OF
strength of this human phenomenon.
That he is the strongest man i'll the
world admits of no doubt whatever.
Though an ordinary built man to all
outside appearances he is giant il
power AMI strength, and the tcats lie
can accomplish nave never been heard
of before.
