Arabi Pasha's Greed,

l A Ceylon correspondent of the San Fran
 cisco Chronicle writes: I asked why it was not Mohammed himself who would appear
 again and join his followers to those of Christ? Ho said: ''Mohammed cannot reap l pear; he is dead.'' But is not Christ simi- | larly dead?'' No; Christ never died There | are two men who never died-Elias and Jesus. ] He still moves about the world, having the power to make himself invisible. Elias found l the water of immortality In a cave, and drank of it and cannot die But Mohammed is in Paradise" z" Arabi could not explain how it 1 was that expectation of the near appearance of the coming prophet and Christ should be universal in the Moslem world just now. It was evident that Arabi himself shared the ex- pectation, which is of kind generally born in believing nations in the time of their de-
 feat and humiliation. Having not the least doubt of the existence of their deity, they fix on their extremity as his opportunity As Arabi whom knew to be a master in Islam, seemed to look forward for the conversion of nations from idolatry by the coming pro phet thought it was possible that some
 thing more merciful then that of the Koran, concerning the hereticaI religions might have been developed in Egypt.
 was surprised to find Arabi an infiexible Puritan. ''Allah is the merciful; he will for give all crimes and all wrong-doings, except ing only worship of other gods than himself. ''What of Buddha and all his millions of worshipers in the past, many of whom never heard of AlIab?" ''He is in hell and his wor- shipers also, and all these Buddhists will go to he'll" ''Wil it be to an eternal hell?" "Yes." ''What of little children brought up in false worship for which they are in mo- wise responsibleP" ''Such children and the idiotic and lunatic will not go to hell; they will go Al Araf, quarter provided for them near Paradise, where they will be instructed l in the true belief. They will ultimately enter Paradise, but they will have no definite place ] there; they wilt be like people in foreign l land.' This similitude struck me much, and
 I think it's peculiar appropriateness occurred 1 to him, for he glanced around with sad eye at the waving palms and luxuriant scenery of
 what might have been paradise could his heart have sung it's happy song in 8 strange l land The calm deifcation of egotism by powerful man, his unquestioning, unqualify- ing worship of deity who can forgive all crimes against mankind sooner than cere-
 monial slip about himself, was to nae depEess- ing enough.

Captain of tals lElorIda

Another Atlantic steamship has gone down la mid-ocean aRdsoyes one hundred and thir- ty persons have sacrificed their lives for the probable carelessness of the officer in immes diate charge of the iIl-fated vessel at inc time of her collision with a sailing bark. Ocean horrors of this character naturally create the inquiry, "Who was to blame ?' The world as naturally infers. where there appears to have been carelessness on the part of the officers and crew, that the captain of a ship as the responsible head. should bear the criticism and censure of g horror stricken public.
 The information thus far gleaned from the rescued of the Florida indicates that Captain Sadler had retired to his stateroom for rest, leaving the vessel in command of the first officer, to whose negligence, if the disaster could have boen avoided at all, must be at- tributed the terrible loss of life that followed close upon the crash of the two vessels. That this officer was one of the rescued, while Captain Sadler perished with all the passengers but one, is an apparent inference that the latter was not at the moment more prepared or capable of saving his own life than were those who suffered his own fate.
 Captain J. W. Sadler's birthplace was Yarmouth England. He was little over forty-eight years of age After receiving 8 good education he became 8 sailor, and was rapidly promoted until he became the con- mander of a vessel. His record as naviga- tor began with the captaincy of a ship sail ing between Glasgow and Nova Scotia. Later he commanded large ship between London and the East Indies He then became con- nected with the ''State Line" company as captain of the tate Of Virginia and the State of Indiana successively. Last December the company assigned him to the State of Flori- da after it's being overhauled at his sugges- ton. When lost the State of Florida was on it's return voyage from New York to Glas- gov, the first time under his command. He had been married three timas but died child less, His first wife was killed by an acci- dental fall from horse His second died of consumption The third Mrs Sadler sur- wives her husband and was at the time of his loss in Glasgow, preparing 8 new home which she had just bought for their futurs residence Thus endeth calamity that re- vesIs in all it's terror ths perils Of life on the ocean and the uncertainty of voyage across the bliiowy deep.

 Recent years have been prolific in discov. cries of the remains of the prehistoric in- habitants of England. An interesting dis covery of the kind has been made near Brigg, in Lincolnshire. Some laborers who
 were excavating brick earth came upon Q corduroy road at depth of some seven feet below the surface. Above the road is g stratum of six feet of clay, and upon the clay lies layer of peat. It is known that this peat has occupied it's present position for considerably more than a thousand years, Roman road, which is still in good order, crossing it. The newly discovered track is formed of huge oaken beams which are fastened into the glacial drift beneath by means of oaken pins; and it Is believed by geologists who have visited the excavations that these timbers were laid down at least ten thousand years ago. The track seems to be about mile in length: but whither it led and what was it's use are questions which are scarcely likely to be solved.
 M. TF0uveiet has communicated the re- suits of his recent investigations on the planet Mars to the French Academy of Sciences. Since 1875 he has been engaged in observing and mapping the confguration of this planet, which is believed to be in 8 more advanced stage of development than the earth. M Trouvelet thinks he has rec ognized and figured all the spots visible on the north hemisphere even to the polar patches of white but he still hopes to add some of those in these polar regions. The northern hemisphere of Mars is. according to Nj. Trouvelet, much less rich in dark spots than his southern, and, apart from the Seas of Knobel, Tycho and Airy, oa Mir. Greens chart, the dark spots which now surround the polar patch are of little i'm portance. The great continents of this hemisphere are nevertheless dotted with grsyish spots more or less faint. Having re- gard to the changes which he has observed in these spots from year to year, M. Trou- velet supposes them to be due to vegeta- ton which alters with the changes of the season-

Crocuses attract honey bees Cover small seeds very lightly ! Excessive wetness Of the seed bed may in

 EVergreens may be planted several weeks
 later than decidueus growths. l In slipping the cactus lay the cuttings in E dry place day or two before placing ir l sand.
 April and May are the best months tc prune ornamental everRreens. Camellias in pots suffer greatly from dry. I ness of soil sometimes without it's being de-
 tected, as the leaves never flag on such ac l count. Be sure to soak the ball at every wa ! tering.
 Angle worms in beds of earth, or the lawn, may be destroyed by freely sprinkline with lime water. Made as strong as possible it will not hurt the plants.
 Sickly Pot Plants.-If there should bap-
 pen to be some yellow-leaved sickIy looking
 plants in the collection, turn them from the pots, wash the soil from the roots carefully, and reput again into perfectly clean porous pots, g size smaller than those they stood in using light earth. Trim back the top little at the same time, and with common care they will soon commence picking up if there is any good in them. 7 ---~--=
 Box-Edging If this presents a bare and struggling appearance, 1t should be divided and reset. The old plants ought to make plenty of cuttings, which should be six or eight inches long each. A trench may be opened by thrusting the spade into the ground, with it's back against line that has been set to show the course of the new edg- ing In the trench the cuttings should be placed against the side towards the line, and SO closely together that the foliage will form 8 continuous line. Pack in the earth firmly and water freely for two or tsree weeks.

year, would not equal the loss suffered ir l open sight on many farms by the waste ot golden streams of liquid manure. Farmers l are tco efsen grossly neglectful of their in
 terssts in this matter. A first step towards l improvement would be to arrest water from l flowing in the yard, and teaching by putting cave troughs on all barns and sheds that have none, and provide for their emptying into drains or capacious cisterns. These latter might serve to supply water to the live stock. The yard ought to be shaped to slope to- 1 wards it's center from all sidea and if the | soil is gravelly or open it should be over layed with stif clay to prevent the escape of
 liquids. The stable floors should be drained towards the yard basin ia a way to lead all l the urine to this place. Then the accumula- ting manure in the yard would be constantly charged with moisture, and if not tramped too hard decomposition would take place to
 the best advantage.
 ORCHARD AND GARDEN. Tomatoes do not need rich ground. Green peas occupy the ground about sev- enty days.
 Sow radishes about ten days apart for a succession.
 Trim the dead leaves and dry runners from strawberries when planting them.
 Use the knife at once on the appearance of black knot on plum or chers y trees.
 Rich ground, strong plants and good cul- ture are tns surSst femeoles against I1ce and worms infesting cabbage
 In planting raspberriss and blackberriss cut the present csnes away entirely, or branches will start from them which will never fruit proftably. and will divert the nu- triment that should go towards making strong new canes.
 Extending the Season.-Some years the summer Is none too long for Lima beans. A start of several weeks may be secured for them by planting the seeds under glass, on inverted sods a foot square, transferring
 them to the garden when hot weather sets in
 Warfare Against the Insects.-In the or- chard no quarters must be given to the ene- my. The tent caterpillar's presence is easily detected, as the dew on the nestE in the morning shows them up conspicuously. Ev- cry sign of their existence should be de stroyed, as can easily be done when they are small. BorerE in the trunks near the ground must be probed or cut out. The curculio will begin its work at once, and must be met by shaking the trees and catching the insects on a cloth and killing them
