The moan'nr OF the word ''carion
undoubtedly should Toe some. hing which
is strange, something which causes
wond or intercst--in sholt,a curiosity;
but its original significance has been,
TO great tent. lest. and anything
coming from beyond the seas is now
adays called curio. Thus. it may be
imagined, n genuine curio is a rarity;
what was considered curio twenty
years ago is, in these days OF globe
trotting and easy locomot.on, scarcely
looked at. aud real zcs smaller price
among us than it originally cost in the
land OF its production. Still, euro
hunters abound, and the man who
mikes a foreign tour and returns with
out the orihodO Cur.os is regarded as
having undergone his labor for no
purpose. Con.e uently, the natural
supply o. curioS not lie ng equal TO the
demand, the wholesale manufacture OF
them has sprung up as distinct and
Teco9ni I'd branch OF trade, and the in
nocent torrist g'ee'ully bringing homo
his tire surcs. is lar more often than not
in posses on OF worthless i'm
atoms, OF which the value, or rather
the want OF value, Is easily detected
BY an expert. Thus. Tic traveller in
Spain fee 5 bound 10 possess
himself of real Toledo blade,
and he pa : an eNorb tant price for an
artic which LearS every resem lance
of being Il genuine Matt no Alvarez, but
which, IN real ", was shipped W tn
many thousands of CtherS u few weeks
prcy ou,iy rom Shc.fie d. So it is with
the dal, o Claudius and the statue ties
o. Mercury which crowd the curio shops
OF Rome; 50 with thcrapyri and funeral
statuettes of Egg pit the famous egg
shell porcelain of Nagasaki, the old
bronres of X YOto, tie Indian gold plate
and ancient tiii@rCe work, the Maori and
South sea war clubs. the moccasins and
wampum belts OF North America all
produced wholesale. brought out rever-
emily, and priced accord ngly. The
numl er of trave ers is legion, and, as
every Individual traveller is not an in
tellgent q, ser cr or pans:a ing note
maker. the bringing home of cur,oS is
considered sui Gent atOnement. Al
though the man NAV be "a ignorant of
the manners and customs of the land
in which, chaps. he has passed many
Years, As if he had never let home. at
the last moment lie goes the round of
the euro shops. selects the orthodox
co le ten, and is staml ed as an intelli-
gent traveller. As he, of course fat
tiers himself that his purchases are
unique. the ente prise of the manufact-
urer makes things plea ant Tor every
body. And thus il is that the modern
curio IS 100 often . missioner. -L0H{0H

When a person recommends the max
ing of a terrace in front of a dwelling
house or in parts of lawn or ornamen-
tai grounds lie usually exhibits his Eng
lish tastesor prOcliyities, for the terrace
is decidedly English mannerism 1t
IL successful one, too, in that moist,
unpleasant climate, where a man has
TO keep change Of umbrellas constantly
on hand, and where these portable shell
tiers are SO indispensable that the temp
tation to appropriate one on every pos
sible occasion is irresistible. Indeed,
a terrace, elevated as it is above the
surrounding surface may at times afford
there the only dry footing in a PERSONS
grounds and give small and narrow
opportunity for the outdoor exercise
which is conducive to health. But here
it is different. The American climate
is too dry, and the great difficulty with
a terrace is to keep it green and pre-
serve the slopes from utter barrenness.
Instead of terrace slope is tar better,
because it can be kept ia good order
and without surrounding it with wire
fence or fender, which writer advises
Ms means of keeping people from walk
ing on terrace.

NINE farmers out OF every ten if asked
to state why they hill crops would be
at a loss TO give a satisfactory answer,
and yet they go on, year after year,
putting a great amount of labor upon
the crops that cannot be traced to any
superior result. upotatoes are planted
shallow they need more extra soil in
which to develop the tubers, hut as
potatoes are now almost uniformly
planted in trenches made by a pillow, or
a marker, they do not need this extra
dirt That this killing is a necessary
requirement to cover the roots is not a
fact, for OIL good soil corn or potato
roots occupy the whole soil, and rain to
benefit the crop is best distributed
through the soil, and if no hills are
present all the roots will be benefited.
The practice of killing Is against the
roots occupying the whole ground as
the soil for the hills taken from the GEN.
ter of the rows soon takes all the fine
dirt from between the rows down to the
hard subsoil, and between hoeing and
the shovel pillow the center roots are all
destroyed. The usual cultivator can be
largely improved by wiring on stoutly
a standing board to the rear of the back
shoyels so that the cultivator, as it is
drawn along, first mellows the soil, and
the board being crossways of the row,
levels down the ridged soil, and il cut
the right length it places about as much
fresh soil about the roots of the stalks
as the rain washes down, so that by the
end OF the cultivating season the ground
is left comparatively level and there is
an abundance of fine soil between the
halls, and the slight gam of fine soil
about the stalks will afford abundant
place for the tubers to develop or tn e
brace roots OF the corn TO obtain secure
hold.

The horse.raddish is an interesting
plant aside from its peculiar culinary
importance. 1t never produces seeds.
Darwin regarded it as an instance of
vegetable impotency-illustrating an
inability to produce seed because OF
long cultivation. Although the plant
has been cultivated for less length of
lime probably than some fertile plants,
it is to be supposed that the horse-rad-
ish yielded sooner to the unnatural
effects of cultivation. A seed-pod on a
horse-radIsh plant would be great boz
tanical curiosity.

a NICE bit OF lamb or mutton, make up
a most appetizing bill of fare.
