FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Testing Seeds.

Before garden or field seeds are sown
in quantities it is good plan to test
them. They will often be found to be
worthless or only partially good, and
much time and vexation may be saved
by testing before the planting is done.
To test seeds, do not plant them. Not
infrequently the conditions of the soil
and its temperature prevent good seeds
from terminating, and this is especially
true when they are put in boxes in the
house. Without greenhouse or hot
bed regular temperature and an even
amount of moisture cannot easily be Sc
cured. A good plan is to place seeds be-
tween damp pieces of flannel and keep
them as nearly uniform IN temperature as
possible. The seeds can be examined
any number of times, and the process is
clearly and convenient. If seeds were
tested, much veXation and doubt in many
ways might be spared. 1t might often
be found that good seeds fail to germi-
nate when planted out, and the causes
of the failure discovered - Culticator.

In different parts of the world we find
the phenomenon of a kind of natural unc-
tuous and inflammable substance oozing
from the earth, which, under the various
names of natural pitch, earth pitch, naph-
tina, petroleum Tor rock oiD, is very well
known as to its general properties. The
naphtha is the purest state of this sub
stance, which by certain exposure to the
air somewhat changes its quality, and be-
comes petroleum. and finally, after still
longer exposure, becomes what we call
bitumen.
These phenomena are found in various
parts of the world, but that which we
briefly mention is in one of the islands Of
the lOnian Confederation. This natural
emulation is found in the southern part
of Zante, near the coast, and has been
described by several modern travellers.
1t is always matter of curiosity to de-
terminc how long such natural phcnOme-
ma have been in operation, and in this
instance we know that the pitch springs
of Zante were as productive 1900 years
ago as they are now. HerodOtus, in his
travels, visited this spot, of which he
gives the following account in his fourth
book ''ln Zacynthus | saw pitch
brought up out of the water of a pond.
Indeed, there are several of these ponds,
but the largest of them is about seventy
feet square, and twelve feet deep. The
mode of procuring the pitch is the fol-
lowing: They take a pole, and push it
into the water with myrtle branch at
the end, and on pulling it up they find
the pitch adhering to it, which in smell
is like asphaltus, but of a better quality
than the common pine pitch. They col
lect this pitch in kind of vat or recepta-
Gle which they have dug near the pond,
and when the quantity is considerable
they put 1t in large jars or barrels. If
any pitch drops from the branch into the
pond, it goes under the ground and APP
pears again in the sea, which is about half
a mile from the pond"
This pitch rises naturally to the sur
face, being specifically lighter than wa
ter. Herodotus appears merely to be
describing the mode of procuring it in
greater quantities by bringing it up
from the bottom, where it possibly might
collect for sometime before it rises. The
ponds are described as being now of
smaller dimensions than those which
Hcrodotus states, and also nearer the
sea. In an island so subject to the dis
turbanccs of earthquakes, it is possible
that many physical changes may have
taken place since the Greek traveller saw
the pitch tished up from the ponds of
Zante

Kissing in England.

Kissing in England was certainly
known and practiced in the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries and practiced
with an easy familiarity which shows that
the custom was general. Indeed, so gen
eral was the use of the kiss that it was
as usual as the bow. A gentleman taking
a lady to her seat from the dance invari-
ably kissed her, and if he had not would
have been voted Il very badly bred fellow
How much older English kisses were
is not very clear Suffice it to say that
the custom has outlived to our day,
though fashionable and general games,
in which kissing formed a prominent
part, are now becoming rarer than they
were a quarter of a century ago.
The literature of kisses is curious.
There is a story retailed in the "Broad
Stone of Honor" of an English knight
riding through France to the Field of
the Cloth of Gold. His horse cast shoe
at certain village, and the Scigneur
whereof had departed to the same rem
devious, but the Seigneur's lady hospita-
bly, entertained the traveller. She came
out of her castle attended by twelve dam
sells fair to see; "and," said the dame,
'forasmuch as ye have in England such
custom as that man may kiss wo-
man, therefore will that We kiss me, and
We shall also kiss all these my maidens, "
which thing the knight straightway did
and rejoiced greatly thereat
The quaintness of the last phrase I'M
doubtedly indicates the young mans
feelings at the salute with considerable
eXactitude.
In Africa and other parts of the world
outside the circle civilization kissing
is as yet an unknown art
An African traveller once offered kiss
under favorable circumstances to young
lady of king Mumbo Jumbo's court, but
she recoiied in great alarm, observing
that she was mot yet worthy to be
eaton -

Hest Place for Manure.

Where does the manure do the most
goodl This is a very important question
for farmers. Fashions change in farm
practice as well as in other things There
are always innovators and persons, like
the ancient people, who are always look
ing for something new. Thus in regard
to manure. Some years ago farmers
always plowed it under. They believed
that the plants food should be put as
near to its mouths as possible, seeing
that the mouths could not 90 out of the
soil for their food. And so they put it
down in the soil where the roots natur-
ally seek to go. But those who wanted
some new idea for a change said eve
will put the manure on the surface, and
they did, and have reported wonderful
success. But some farmers who are not
apt to change when they have a good
method, go on blowing il the manure
for all sown or planted crops, and get it
as near TO the seed as possible. For grass
lands or fall sown grain in the spring,
top dressing alone is possible; but for all
planted crops it seems natural and reason
able that the manure should be put Just
where the roots can find it, and that is
under the surface. --NcD York. Times.

MADE No Difference.

A traveller just from the South reports
the following: On one of the Southern
railroads there is a station called "Saw-
yer" Lately a newly married couple
boarded the train, and were very loving
indeed. The brakeman noticed the
gushing groom kiss the bride about two
hundred times, but maintained serene
quiet. Finally the station in question
was reached, and just after the whistle
sounded the groom gave the bride a
rousing smack on the lip and the brake
man opened the door and shouted:
Sawyer Sawyer"
Whats thatl' responded the groom
looking over his shoulder at the brake
man.
Sawyer" replied the brakeman.

my wife. - Merchant ZraUeler.

rate he was not inclined to knock under,
and be controlled despotically by man
that he imagined he could tie and whip.
He at length determined to give the gen"
tleman a genteel thrashing some night on
the college campus, pretending to mis-
take him for some fellow student.
Shortly after, on dark and rainy
night, Jones met the doctor crossing the
campus Walking up to him abruptly
"Iello, Smith, you rascal-is this
your"
And with that he struck the old gen
tleman blow on the side of the face
that nearly felled him.
Ole Bolus said nothing, but squared
himself, and at it they went. Jones'
youth, weight and muscle made him an
ugly customer" but after minute or
two the doctors science began to tell,
and in short time he had Knocked his
beefy antagonist down and was astraddle
his chest, with one hand on his throat,
and the other dealing vigorous cuffs on
the side of his head.
"Ahl stopl l beg pardon, doctor
Dr. Caldwell-a mistake-for heavens
sake, doctor!" groaned Jones, who
thought he was about to be eaten up
'I-really thought it was Smith" The
doctor replied with a word and a blow
alternately:
'It makes no difference for present
purposes consider me Smith,
And it is said that Old Bolus gave
Jones such pounding then and there,
as probably prevented his ever making
another mistake as to personal identify
at least on the college campus.

The Stmdent,s NIi.fnke.

There was very good story in the
papers of the day of joke which was
played by old DR.. Caldwell, formerly of
the university of North Carolina.
The old doctor was small man, and
lean, but as hard and angular as the most
irregular of pine knots.
He looked as if he might be tough,
but he did not seem strong Neverthe-
less, he was, among the knowing ones,
reputed to be as agile as "a cat, and, in
addition, was by no means deficient in
knowledge of the "noble science of self
defense" Beside, he was cool as a Gu
cumber. Well, in the freshman class of
a certain year was burly mountaineer
of eighteen or nineteen. This genius
conceived great contempt for old Bolus'
physical dimensions, and his soul was
Mortified that one so deficient in muscle
should be so potential in his rule.
Poor Jones-that's what We'll call him
had no idea of moral force. At any

Clean Gone,

"Do you really love me, BerylN
A pair of soft, lustrous eyes looked up
inquiringly into the face of Harold wy
verne, and over the sweet, girlish face
swept wave of palor quickly followed
by sunny smile as she saw by the ex-
preston of IIarold's face that the ques-
ton had not been asked in seriousness.
" How you brighten me-" she said,
nesting close beside him in the confiding,
trustful way that is so characteristic of
woman when she is about to lay pipe for
new bonnet. "If you had been in
earnest, Harold, l believe your words
would have broken my heart and step

affected her strangely, and she steals

Harold had never been arrested for
knowing too much. He was a young
man of sngularly pure life and tight
pants, and never once had there swept
across the unlocked horizon of his lawn

to sell the straw than leave it in the yard
to be removed in hurry Just before
threshing time, so as to get it out of the
way.
Deep working of growing corn, says
the Kansas Farmer, is not good 1t
tears away roots that are needed to hurry
the growth of the corn. And it tends to
hasten evaporation. If ground is well
prepared for planting the shallowest
working which will keep the surface
loose and destroy weeds is the best. 1t
is a mistake to run the teeth or shovcls
away down where the roots ought to be
enjoying absolute freedom.
The best remedy suggested against
the sheep CAD, or bot fly yet known, is
to place small logs in the sheep pasture,
having holes bored in them about eight
inches apart and three inches deep, with
a two-inch auger, and to keep salt con.
stantly In the bottoms of these holes and
smear their edges about twice a week
with pine tar. The sheep in trying to
get the salt, will smear their noses with
the tar, the odor of which will drive the
flies away.
A practical farmer who burns both coal
and wood in different stoves m axes a
practice of mixing the ashes and apply

ashes makes the latter much more absorp-
tive of ammonia or nitric acid from the
