The MAN o. AIRLIE.

Oh, there aboon yon heather hill,
Where footfa' comes but rarely,
There is . heuse they point out still
Where dwelt the man o. Airlle.
He wore ccat o. holden gray,
His hand WAS hard wi labor;
But still he had namely way
o. stannin' by his neighbor.
His burly laugh made men rejoice
His words the neighbors guided;
The little bairnies loved his voice,
And in his smile confided;
The words to-day that left his lip
Became q deed tomorrow;
Hoot, man, the friendship of his grip
Would lift the heart o. sorrow.
He was ma loud, he was ma proud,
He lacked in larnia' sairly,
And yet ye'd pick him fIn a crowd,
The honest man o. Airlie.
His wealth it was ma in his hand,
1t was ma in the city;
A mir o. honor was his hand.
His heart mine o. pity.
He's dead an gone, this prince o. Fife,
Mute is his burly laughter;
But, ah! the music of his lie,
That bides wi us lang after,
His memory lives; the man may die,
That fingers bright and louin'
Just like q star lost free the sky.
Whose ray survives his ruin.-Anon

Near and Far-Sightedness

Near-sighted boys and girls are often
surprised to find how much farther
their companions can see than them
selves. Some can tell the time of day
indicated by a distant church-clock,
where they cannot even make out the
clock itself. But there are fine tests in
the heavenly bodies, well-known to
astronomers, and with which any boy
or girl may become familiar.
The Pleiades is famous constellation,
with which isassociated tradition COM
ing down from Grecian times that one
OF its stars suddenly disappeared. An
eye of ordinary power can easily make
out six stars; a stronger vision ean
count eleven, and some with extraor-
dinary powers can discern thirteen or
fourteen. With telescope the number
visible varies from fifty to one hum
dred.
Everybody knows the Great Dipper.
The middle star in the handle has a
companion star; which tolerably good
eye can detect. A stronger eye can de-
tect third and fainter star. It requ res
the best eyes to pick out the moons of
Jupiter, but this has been done by a
few. Ii is comparatively easy to see
them when two are in conjunction, and
thus present q larger surface to- the
eye.
1t may afford no little amusement to
our readers to test their vision by ex-
perimenting, some clear night, on the
consultations we have mentioned.

Fact and Poetry.

The following story 6 the veteran
writer, john limbs, is interesting:
While sub-editor of the Illustrated Lon
don News, he sent cut of hop-feld to
contributor, and asked him to go down
to Maidstone, visit the hop. gardens,
take note of all he might see and hear,
and describe the scene as faithfully and
accurately as he could The conscienti-
Gus writer went and spent day and
night among the "savory" hop-pickers.
Next day he took his copy to his Of
fee. The venerable Mr.. limbs adjusted
his spectacles and began to read. Be-
fore he had got through the third slip
he burst out with, whats this. Mr..
Smith? Do you really think he would
put this in the News?-oaths, intemper-
ance, impiety, debauchery, licentious-
ness-why, sir, what were you thinking
about? This will never dol" "No, I
thought not replied the writer; "but
you told me to describe exactly what I
saw and heard" "Yes. yes; but really;
you know, this is too gross, too gross"
Perhaps this will do BETTER" calmly re-
marked Mr.. Smith, as he handed an
other MS. to Mr.. limbs. ''Read it, sir,
read it," said the sub.editor. Mr. Smith
read aloud, and his listening chief was
charmed-such well-turned phrases,
such happy conceits, such poetic descrip-
tions! "That is better, Mr., Smith
much; just what / wanted" "Ah,"
said Smith, quietly, II thought you
would like that; it's what wrote before
l went down to Maidstone"

Glover for Swine.

There is no more economical or better
feed for pigs in summer than clover. 1t
has been estimated on good authority
that an acre of clover will grow 500
pounds of pork, and that to certain
extent it is one of the most profitable
methods of using it.
Besides this it makes healthy whole
some pork, which absolute confinement
in filthy pens must fail tc do Pigs grown
on clover will fatten on very small
quantity of corn and leave the main por..
ton of the corn in the crib for feed
for other stock. II is not enough that
the pigs have the lun of the bare pas
,ure but they should have good clover
field and not over five shotes. to the acre.

the mushrooms into pie dish; break
enough eggs to cover them over the top;
pepper, salt and scatter bits of butte,
over them, stew with bread crumbs and
bake until the eggs are set. Serve in
the dish.
EGGS FOR INvAL1Ds-Beat an egg unit |
very light; add seasoning to taste, then

possible, be kept until the coming of

Double Team Trotting.

A great deal of wonder is being ex-
pressed by the public generally at the
mile in 2:l5 12 made by Mr.. Wander
bilts pair OF mares, Maud S. and Aldine,
but a careful investigation of the matter
the performance is undoubtedly re-
markably good one. it is not greater
than might have been expected from
the team which made it.
The fact IS that for matter Of nearly
twenty years not the slightest attention
has been paid to doubleteam trotting,
wk:le the efforts to make horses 90 a
fast mile in single harness have been un-
remitting. The first thing that was
done in the way of record breaking by d
double team was on the 10th of May, 1862,
when Mr.. Robert Bonner drove Lady
Palmer and Flatbush Maid mile to
road wagor in 2:26. Three days later
they went two miles in sol l-2, the last
quarter being trotted in 33 seconds.
Now at that time 2:1S IA was the fastest
record ever made by trotter, and yet
these two mares, neither Of whom could
beat 2:2o singly, pulled a wagon the last
quarter of two-mile heat at a 2:l2 gait
"a rate of speed that it is doubtful if
any horse then on the turf could equal.
This fact should have taught people that
two horses of similar temperament and
gait could speed much faster together
than singly, but it does not seem to have
done SO, and as the driving of double
teams for speed was about this time
abandoned, the old fallacy that the fast
est time must be looked for from trot-
ter in single harness retained its sway.
But the old superstition that atrotter
can 90 faster singlv than in double
harness is rapidly becoming thing Of
the past. People see horses that cannot
for the life of them beat 2.25 alone, re-
ducing those figures several seconds
when driven with suitable mates, and
they begin to realize that, with divis-
ion Of the weight and the constant pres
ence of horse to incite the competition
of real racing, it is bit natural that
higher raie Of fspeed sI,ou!d be attained.
Nobody believes Aldine cara',le o' trot-
ting alone in 2:15 12, and yet Mr.. Jan
ders2ilt is authority for the statement
that she kept her traces all the way dur
ing her famous mile with Maud S. In
nearly every instance of remarkably fast
time by teams the records made in sin
gle harness by the horses composing
them have been beaten. That the
''best on record" will evidently be made
by team of tr6iters is not, in view of
recent developments, matter of much
doubt.-Breeder's Gazette.

Potting Strawberries.

As the strawberry season draws tc a
close the question of preparing beds for
another year is to be discussed. Instead
of the old method OF setting the plants
in September, the potting system is bs-
ing more extensively practiced. Potted
plants are obtained by sinking small
earthern fowerpots in the ground under
t,.e fne th tnas are FORMING
down into the soil in the pot, and can be
later removed with no injury whatever
to the plant. The plants and soil can
be easily shaken out and shipped long
distance. They need plenty of water
when set. From these nearly full crop
may be obtained the following season.
Beds from which early vegetables have
been removed may be utilized for
strawberry bed.

Gross Fertilization.

DR.. E. l.. Sturtevant has made some
interesting trials at the Experiment
Station under glass, on the effects of
cross and self-fertilization on several
garden vegetables. Beans which were
grown in pots, where they could not re-
celve pollen from other plants or flow
grs: formed pods but no seeds. In one
instance q plant Of the cranberry bean
bossomed before there was another
flower open in the greenhouse, formed
pod with eight seeds, but eight other
pods were seedless. Other bean plants
which could not receive cross -fertiliza.
tion, bore in all with the proceeding.
tWently-six pods, but only tile one seed.
Inc inference is, therefore, that cross
fertilization is extremely advantageous
to the bean, and is always effected out
doors IN various ways. A similar result
took place with the cabbage. Among
the plants which were denied cross-fer.
tilization, but which bore seeds abun-
dainty, were the tomato. the pea and
the nasturtiums. These experiments 40
far as limited experiments can give
rules, indicate that in raising beans for
seed different sorts must be kept away
from each other, to prevent crossing
and mixing. But many varieties of the
tomato and pea may be grown in the
same plot without mixing. The great
est care, however, must be used to pre-.
vent the mixing Of differ ent varieties of
cabbages.-The Country Gentleman.
