tion and protest by hearing pleasant songs
well sung. But should there be any anonli-
lous characters, who unfortunately cannot ap-
pieciate either song or singer, they might
take an easy step In the "suppression" OF the
next eerenhde by simply ciusing their win

avoid the agony of hearing the sounds 50

not bclieve), our parlors are open TO these
singers at any time and their presence and
singing Will be heartily welcomed.

A Crows Intelligence.

The sentinel system Of the crows is
very complete. Their guards display q
remarkable degree of judgment and in.
telligence. They will raise cry for Q
man with gun long before he gets in
range of them, and they are equally
wary of man who creeps toward them.
But team may pass close by without
disturbing them, and they will even let
a man on foot pass unnoticed If he
hasn't gun md goes boldly about his
business. I had curious example Of
this when I first began to study their
habits. commenced by trying to shoot
them, but though l had passed them
close enough before, could not get
near them after I began carrying gun.
went out with my gun every evening
for weeks. I crept behind fences and
Law IN wait in the bushes, but could
never get shot at them. One day,
however, I struck upon plan which
have since operated very successfully.
1 held my gun close to my side, the bar
rel running down the side Of. my leg,
and walked boldly down the road with.
out taking any notice Of them. With
their usual disregard for travellers, they
LET me pass close up to them, when
turned suddenly and fired. Now I caI

MEXICO consists Of twen,y-seven states, enc
federal district and one territory. There are
even cities Of over 10000 population. The
City Of Mexico has 800, 600 inhabitants, Pueblo
200, 900, ond Leon 100000. Civilization out
side Of the large cities is very primitive. Many
Of the Indian villages are built Of turf or Of
cane stuck in the ground without window,
without table, chair, stove or bed. Yet
village Of this wretchsd appearance will have
magnificent stone church with nave, choir,
chine Of bells, frotted ceiling aud resonnding
dome, with a font Of onyx or jasper. with a
marble pulpit and silver chancel rail. Outside
ofthe villages, III the country, every few miles
the traveller comes to vast struggling one
story building, covering four or five acres,
with tower in Que corner surmountd by
bell. This lisa Spanish farmhouse, or a haci
cnda. There are 5000 of these hsciendas in
Mexico and they own foutffths Of tie land.
One owns 1000 square mics and another owns
10000 square miles The proprietor OF haci'
enda lives in ducal state. He has soldiers
under his command, physician to attend his
tenants, and many Of the poems Oh his place
are virtually his slaves, because they are in
debt to him and The law makes them his serfs
go long as they owe him. The rapidly multi
plying railroads will gradually revolutionize
business and modes Of life in Mexico, but for
generations to come our southern neighbors
will be regarded as peculiar people.

ClubfOOt In Cabbage.

"I have yearly cultivated about one
half acre OF cabbages the past few years,
some years with success and others en-
tirely failing OF account of clubfoot and
the worm. My attention was directed
to the raising of the plants to get them
free from disense il possible. My seed
bed WINS made last spring where there
we're chips and accumnlations of IN oio
wool nile that had not been used for
veors The refuse waste OF the WOOD
nile had been raked together and burned,
leaving the ashes on the land. Inc
seed bed had the benefit of the ashes
tbus made, also the decayed chips when
escaped the fire; this plat was well
spaded and the cabbage seed sown. Az
soon as the plants appeared above grouno
they were sprinkled with wood ashes Tor
number of times to protect them from
the small black fly. About June lO,
when the plants were ready to set, we
marked the ground, and with dibbie
made for that purpose made the holes
for the plants and had the holes fill z.
with LIQUID manure from the barn. yard.
The plants were then set. This wetting
the holes insures their living, even if the
ground is dry at time of setting. We
cultivate with horse and cultiyator, tt
keen the ground free from weeds. Last

The English prejudice against masquerade
iballs IS 30 deeply rooted that it will never be
removed. Public masquerades are not permit
ted in England. After the restoration no
attempt was made to restore the court masques
and the few public affairs held in the Georgian
era were soon frowned down by public opinion.
VI late years masquerades have been dsallowed
by the magistrates, and nobody regrets it. The
English say that intrigue and mystiication are
essentials of Italian and Spanish masquerades,
and such amusemcnts are, therefore, incom.
pai'ble with the spirit Of the English people.
IN fact, the preachers and novelists seem to
agree In regard ng masquerade as the short.
esi possible cut to lophct.

The supposed decrease in the worlds supply
Of gold not borne ont by the facts Of the case
A German writer says that we have now four
great gold fields; the western part Of the Uni.
ted States, Australia, Siberia and the section Of
South America north Of the Amazon. The
output of these gold fields is sufficiently large
TO sustain the view that means will be found
when the demand becomes really urgent to fur
nish gold enough to meet the worlds monetary
wants for centuries to come, il not for all time
1t is quite probable, however, that as ciyiliza-
ton advances gold will be used chiefly for pur-
poses Of ornamentation, and will form but q
very small part Of the circulating medium Of
the world,
