weather the throne and platform

advantage of the shelter afforded
within the walls of the school house,
the May Queen and her loyal subjects,
accompanied by nearly one hundred
friends, were soon comfortably estab-

The House committee on aprropri-
atoms have agreed to report favora-
bly, Representative Ellis bill, proyid-
ing that the Federal Government
shall loan the Exposition 81 600 600
IN order to assure its complete sue
cess. IL will be remembered that
Congress granted the Philadelphia
Centennial the sum of S2,000,00 for
this purpose, and as the New York
Herald remarks, there is no reason
why it should not lend this Southern
display assistance as well as that at
Philadelphia. In Europe, the gov
ernn4ent takes upon itself the entire
expenses of these Expositions, and
pays out millions OF dollars to make
them grand and successful. In this
country, however, they are compelled
to depend upon popular sub Grip
tions, with no assistance from the
government, except in the why OF q
loan.
To the bill as introduced by Mr.
Ellis only one condition is attached
That the amount expended on The
Exposition, on the preparation and
identifying of the grounds and the
erection of buildings, shall not exceed
the aggregate amount of subscrip-
lions and loans; or, in other words,
that in the preparations the EXPOSE
ton shall not run into debt and there
by mortgage the income, out of which
it has promised to repay the govern
ment the amount advanced by it. 1t
will be remembered that the direc-
tors of the Philadelphia Centennial
kept their pledge in this matter, and
repaid the government ont of the first
receipts the whole amount due it,

Swallowed Her Young.

1t is not generally believed, even
among people who live in neighbor-
hoods where snakes are common, that
these reptiles swallow their young, asin
time of danger, or when they move from
one locality to another. While it is a we'll
authenticated fact that many species
of snakes do this, instances are rare
where they have been seen in the act.
Such a sight was witnessed a few DAYS
since. Charles Wilson, William Gould
and Harry Lawrence, three boys, were
blackberrying near Deckertown. They
discovered a garter-snake in the bushes,
which at once began to glide to and fro,
uttering a peculiar kissing sound. Sud-
denly the snake stopped and lay flat
upon the ground, with its head raised a
little, and the mouth wide open. In
stantly diminutive snakes began to ap-
pear from all directions, and one after
another darted in at the open mouth OF
the old snake and disappeared. A
steady stream of young reptiles poured
itself into their mothers throat for
more than a minute. When the last
one had entered the mother snake was
swollen to more than twice her natural
size, and she Immediately started to
leave the spot. One of the boys killed
her. There were los of the young
snakes, and all were killed. The
mother was but two and a half feet
long, and the young ones were of an
average length of three inches, aggre.
eating a length of t%wenty-six feet stored
away in the narrow compass of the old
snakes body.-Trenton IN. ~ Gazette

French Farmers and Salt.

Salt is a commodity next to a neces-
sity for French farmers; yet it is so
heavily taxed, surrounded with so many
irritating conditions, as to limit its en-
ploy. You cannot cart a barrel of sea
water to your home without permission
of the authorities. You would be sus-
perhaps by manufacturing your own
francs annually to the e%Xchequer; bet
ter reduce that and make up the de-
f~iciency on drink licenses. Mixed with
is generally applied at the rate of three
to four hundred-weights per acre, and
is most eficacious, according to Bous-
singault, when mixed with two-thirds
of its weight of lime OF mari. Salt
exercises a most favorable influence on
the~ormation of the ear of wheat bar
ley and oats, and adds to the weight
of the grain itself. In the case of po-
tatoes, the action is marked, the soda
replacing the potash in that plant; but
lit is in COLA that salt tells with most
benefit. For feeding mangels, salt is
excellent, but it is detrimental when
beet is cultivated for sugar. II was
Davy first directed attention to the
value of salt in the agricultural point
of view. 1t augments the appetite of
stock, and enables the latter to consume
acid or inferior heritage. The famous
pres sales sheep, that command the
highest price with the butcher, are fed
on the salt marshes of Lower Normandy,
and the coast of Charente -~Inferieure.
Mixed with guano and urine, salt pre-
vents the escape of ammoniacal fumes.
M. Velter concluded the ultimate action
of salt was to convert organic matter
into nitrate of soda. In any case, be-
fore employing salt, the nature of the
soil ought to be carefully studied -
