Portable Strawberry Beds.
Portable strawberry beds are the

Portable strawberry beds are the lat
est in the long line of inventions of the
nineteenth century, and in few years
every citizen who has little patch OF
garden or sunny spot on the roof of his
house can raise strawberries all the
year round. These beds have three OF
four advantages over the old-fashioned
style, which cannot be overestimated.
All the disadvantages of wind, rain and
drought are done away with. Between
Branford and Guilford is a back road
that is little travelled, and on one OF
the loneliest, rockiest and most gener-
ally forlorn clearings lives man who
is destined to revolutionize the market
gardening of the future. He is an aged
negro, rejoicing in the appellation of
Caesar johnson. A reporter, with q
taste for the wild and beautiful in ma
ture, and who had saved up three
months salary and hired n team and
taken a friend to ride, CHANGED to drive
past the habitation of Caesar a day or
two ago, and was surprised to see the
old man sitting in front of his house,
regarding with an air of pride three or
four fine specimens of strawberries.
Where in the world did you get
those?' he asked. as he drew up his
animated quadruped and forgot all
about his companion and the fact that
horse hire goes by the hour.
II growed EN-" said Caesar, as be
calmly devoured berry that would
bring twenty-five cents in the New
York market.
ssYou grew thenp HowpD
Eyes, sar, done growed them in
buckets. You jess come and see."
The reporter followed, and sure
enough, back of the hovel, on a bench.
stood twenty or thirty pals, each with
hourishing strawberry plant. Some
of the plants were covered with BIOS
SONS, and on others the deep red and
delicately greenish white of the ripe
and unripe fruit, peeped from under
luXuriant leaves.
You see dem pals is mighty handy
to take round" explained Caesar, as he
held one in each hand for the news
gatherer's inspection. II done made a
lot of them pals. and fill 'em up wild
de blacklist kind of wood dirt. Den
once a week l cuts runner off an old
plant, and puts in fresh pail, and that
way keeps fresh stock. Desc old
plants can stand de cold, so l leabs
dem out until late in the afternoon, but
de young 'uns dey looks kinder peaked

The roof of the house was mostly
composed of old sashes neatly glazed,
and in the center of the garnet floor
stood an old wood stove. which kept
the temperature at summer heat. There
were more pals, each containing plants
of different ages, which Caesar explain
ed would bear all winter if he did not
forget and let the fire go out.

Tea-Cup Lore.

Pictures in a tea-cup? Well, the
idea is not altogether a new one, and
many of my little friends have, no
doubt, tried the old-fashioned plan of
making pictures, or, as l think it is
called, "telling fortunes" in tea-cup.
In fact l have friend who is quite re-
nowhed for her success as fortune
teller through her skill in shaking and
tapping tea-cup until the grounds, or
tea-leaves, in the bottom of the tea-cup
assume, in a rude way, certain shapes
or forms representing people, animals,
and various other images which she
processes to understand as referring in
some way to the person whose fortune
she happens to be telling at the time.
l was present once when she told, in
this way, the fortune of a young lady.
The prophecy and the method OF max
ing it seemed to me to be very vague;
but the gist of it all was, that in q
short time a young gentleman OF ex-
tremely prepossessing appearance
unexplained way, to exert a powerful
influence on the future prospects of the
young lady. Wishing to discover what
there was in the cup to warrant such n
forecast, obtained possession OF 1t
without being observed. In the bottom
of the cup saw that the tea-leaves had
assumed form which, with little aid
of the imagination, might be accepted
as resembling q very spare, delicate,
and altogether dilapidated young man.
With the aid of teaspoon, and using
few other grounds or leaves that
were lying on the bottom of the cup, l
quickly chang d the young man into a
most disreputable-looking old tramp,
with big bundle on his back, and ac-
companied by q Notwithstanding bull
dog Then l awaited the result. Pres
emily, the young lady whose fortune
had been foretold took up the cup, with
blush of pleasure, to examine its con-
tents. The moment she saw the dread
full figure of the old tramp, she ex-
claimed, what horrid old fright"
Then there was great commotion,
which was only quelled when / ac-
knowledged my guilt. But I had
learned sonnet ing, which was that,
with little management, and tea
spoon, pictures of many kinds could be
made in tea-cup.-C. C. Ward, in st.
Nicholas fer November.

A Remarkable Bridge.

Distant about an hours ride by rail
from Avignon is the Point du Gard Cor
bridge of the Gard), great bridge or
aqueduct built here by the Romans at
time when this part of France was
occupied by the soldiers and colonies
OF that people,; and next to the Collos-
scum at Rome, it is considered the
grandest and most perfect piece of Ro-
man architecture now standing in the
world.
1t is an immense stone bridge,
stretching across the whole valley. 1t
consists of three rows of arches, one
above the other In the lower row
there are six very large arches; above
this is longer row of eleven smaller
arches; and over this thirty-five arches
still smaller. On the top of the upper
row OF arches. and forming the summit
OF the bridge, is n covered aqueduct or
waterway. At little distance this
vast bridge seems almost as entire and
perfect as when iirst built, and we can
ha dly realize that it has stood there fol
nineteen centuries. 1t was erected scle-
ly for the purpose of carrying water
across the valley, and was part of az
aqueduct twenty-five miles long, con-
structed by the Romans to conduct the
water OF the springs Of Airan to their
town of Nemausus, now the French
town of Mines.
Great stones project ut regular inter
walls from its sides, to the top of the sec
ond row of arches. These served as
supports to the derricks and other ma.
chimes by which the massive stones were
raised as the building progressed We
can also see the square indentations in
the stone work which were made there
to support the scaffolding of the Roman
masons.-F. n. Stockton. in 50. Nicho
