being an Englishman, wanted to go
home to end his days there. He says:
Mr. Seward requested his SON Fred

place for him. / went to the depart
ment with Frederick, and in looking
over his Consular register carefully, his
eye finally rested on Falmouth, where
upon examination he found that the
Consul was an Englishman, and had
held the office more than twenty years.

Fruit in Different Countries.

The hours of meals in Yorkshire are
those which were in vogue in Philadel-
phia some thirty years ago. Breakfast
is at eight, dinner at half-past one or
two. and tea at half-past seven or eight,
the latter being always a good substan-
tial meal, with hot cakes, cold meats,
preserves, etc. Tea is invariably offered
to afternoon callers, with accompani-
ments of cake and of thin bread and
butter. The fare is always of the best
in the solid, substantial fashion that the
English heart delights in. and assuredly
it would be a palate that was excessive
ly hard to please that would not find
full satisfaction in the famous mutton,
poultry, hams and bacon, the we'll
fatted fowls, well-made pastry, and rich
cream of the county. Then such q su-
perb profusion of fruit as have seen
on the table of mine host of Clifle Castle!
strawberries and cherries of true
English perfection, side by side with
hothouse peaches. melons and immense
punches of the black Hamburg grapes.
1t reminds one of the gardens in the old
fairy tales, wherein all kinds of fruit
were ripe at the same time. 1t must be
confessed, however, that the beautiful
velvety peaches lack the SAVIOR and
perfume and sweetness of our own we'll
summed fruit, but the strawberries are
incomparably fine. He that would eat
fruit in perfection must partake of
strawberries and gooseberries in Eng
land. cherries and apricots in France,
and melons and peaches in the United
States. And, gourmands as the French
are, they have never yet understood the
deliciousness of cream as an adjunct to
strawber1ies-nay, more, they call
strawberries and cream a mess, and it
is on record how a distinguished
Frenchman, being presented with a
plate of that delicacy at a London gar
den party recently, looked at it in dis
may and asked: "What am 1 to do with

The only certain way to secure seed

neglected labor is increased and soils

If a corn stubble is to be sown to
wheat the corn . should be removed
from the ground and the stubble plowed

rough, which, we believe, is best.-N

An exchange says that little salt
sprinkled on a manure heap is one Of
the best applications for both summer

the heap from freezing solid, and at any
season makes the manure more soluble.

Persistence Of Forms Of Disease.

A disease remains the same in es-
sence, no matter whom it attacks OF
what its severity be in the individual
case. Each contagious disease breeds
only its own kind, and no other. When
we experiment with an isolated, disease
producing germ, it causes always one
and the same affection, If it takes hold
at all.
But evidence is beginning to accumu-
late that, though we can not change
one species into another, we can mod.
ify the power and activity, in short, the
virulence, of parasites. Pasteur has
shown that when the bacteria of chicken
cholera are kept in an open vessel, ex-
posed to the air for many monthe. their
power to struggle with the animal cells
is gradually enfeebled. Taken ct any
stage during their decline or virulence,
and placed in fresh soil in which
they can grow, be it in the body of an
animal or outside, they multiply rs be-
fore. But the new breed has only the
modified virulence of its parents, and
transmits the same to its progeny.
Though the form of the parasite has
been unaltered, its physiological activity
has been modified; it produces nolongei
the fatal form of chicken-cholera, bui
only a light attack, from which the an.
imal recovers. BY further enfeeblelneni
of the parasite, the disease it gives tc
its host can be reduced in severity tc
almost any extent. These mild attncks,
however, protect the animal against
repetitions. BY passing through the
modified disease, the chicken Obtains
immunity from the fatal form. Iu' the
words of Pasteur. the parasite can be
transformed into q ''vaccine virus by
cultivation under conditions which On.
feeble its power. The splendid view Is
thus opened to us of vaccinating, some
day, against all diseases-in which one
attack grants immunity against an.
other. Pasteur has succeeded in the
same way in another disease of much
greater Importance, namely, splenic fe.
yer. The parasite of this affection has
also been modified by him, by special
modes of cultivation, so as to produce 8
mild attack, protecting against the
graver form of the disease. Pasteur's
own accounts of his results in vaccinat-
ing, against anthrax, the stock on
French farms, are dazzling. But a rep.
etition of his experiments in other coun.
tries, by his own assistants, has been
less conclusive. In Hungary the inn
munity obtained by vaccination was not
absolute, while the protective vaccina.
ton itself destroyed some fourteen pei
cent of the herds.
Yet, though much of the enthusiasm
generated by Pasteur's researches may
proceed further than the facts warrant
he has at least opened q new path which
promises to lead to results of the high.

For the last ten years Hudson River
shad fishermen have broken their nets
against some obstruction on the river
bottom near Poughkeepsie, and several
vain attempts have been made to remove
it. On Monday the divers who were
searching for the barge Brainerd, which
sank on July 81, fastened their lines to
a wreck which they supposed to be the
one they were searching for, and the
next day q diver went down to examine
it. To his surprise he found that the
lines had laid hold of the wreck of q
schooner laden with two or three hun

have gone down at least twelve years
ago, although nobody remembers such
an accident Arrangements will be
