three of the finest of the London hotels
ne tried to get rooms for Americans who
we're to arrive, and as soon as the
managers found out that the apartments
we're wanted for Yankees they ate their
words about having any vacancies. A

arises from the fact that Americans have
got into the erroneous way of thinking
that England is cheap country.

A Lost Mine.

The Boston Journal has the following
The legend of a lost mine has given te
8ald mountain, in Placer county, Colo
ado, fascinating interest for prospect
ors. The tradition is that early in the
SOS three men disappeared from an i'm
migrant party coming over the old Gar
rail. Search for them was without
wall and they were reported dead.
Where or how they hibernated no one
Knows, but the following spring, ragged
,hoeless and totally demoralized, they
filed into Michigan Bluff. Their blankets
had been converted into sacks, and with
chem they brought dust to the amount o.
$4,000 or $4,000. Spending but {
single night within the confines of civil
cation, and giving no information as t
the location of their large claim, the,
were followed on their return trip, an(
few weeks later their murdered bodies
were found in one of the dreary canyon
that scar the face of the desolate peak
Since then many man has sought thi
lost mine, but apparently its immunit
is as certain as that of the treasure o

An exchange says that "the most popu-
lar tune of the present day, which is
adapted to almost all occasions, is joined
to the devotional words, Nearer my God
to Thee. At religious meetings of every
kind, excursions, picnics, etc, this de-
lightful and inspiring melody is always
in order. At the funeral ceremonies of
General Grant it was waited on every
breeze. The old sacred music collec-
tions, as well as the modern, attribute
the air to the late DR.. Lowell Mason, and
the hymn is entitled Bethany. Whether
Mr.. Mason is the author of the air, or it
one of the skilful adaptations of choice
melodies which he delighted to arrange,
is not known, unless to members of his
family"

The Box Was Paid For.

"The recent outpouring of Grant anec.
aotcs," said Mr.. Robson, ''has reminded
me of one which do not think has beer
printed. Crane and myself were playing
some years ago in a well-known man
ager's theatre out of New York. The
irst act was over and we were chatting
In the wings with our manager, when
one of the boys rushed up to tell us that
General Grant and his family were in one
Of the boxes. A flush of gratifed pride
mounted to the managerial face, followed
by a look of agonized doubt, as he evi.
IDENTIFY reflected that perhaps the general
had 'deadheaded' into the box. Did
you send him box, Robsonp he asked
ne, and on my replying in the negative,
he pulled a card out of his pocket and,
scribbling line on it, told the boy to
Jake it to the box Office and bring back
IN answer. The boy rushed off, his head

minutes with the same card, which he
handed 10 Mr.. Manager. A ghastly

Grating.

In preparation for grating both stalks
and scions should be perfectly healthy
says the Michigan Farmer. Select for
scions sound, ripe shoots from healthy
trees near the top, and keep them dor
mant until used. They are more certain
to grow we'll if taken off in November
and kept through the winter, free from
frost, in damp sand, pine or hemlock
sawdust, as the latter from. deciduous
trees will heat and injure the cuttings
unless it is very old and past fermenta-
ton. After mild winter, scions will
sometimes do we'll if cut in February or
March, in which case they may be
wrapped in paper and buried in the bot
tom of the cellar until wanted. 1t is
better to sets gratis just before the buds
of the stalks swell, especially on cherry
and plum trees, which start flow of sap
earlier than the apple or the peach. All
stone fruits should have strips of waxed
cloth wound around the cleft, after wax
ing it thoroughly, to prevent the bark
from peeling off around the stock. In
grating select such branches for the pur-
pose as will give the top the best shape
after the graft grows, and the other
limbs in future years are removed. If
the trees are large do not cut off many
large limbs in single season,
even if it takes two or more
years to change the entire
top. Fine healthy trees have been killed
outright by excessive pruning in single
season. A severe wound or an amput;l-
ton is always a great strain upon vital,
ty, whether it be upon tree or on hui
man being. Cut some of the scions into
pieces about four inches long, and when
ready to set them make the lower end in
the form of a wedge one and one-hall
inches long and little thinnest on the
inside, with bud on the outside just
where the wedge begins, so that this bud
will come just at the top of the stalk, as
the cambium stored in about the base oil
the bud will cause the scion and stalk to
unite more readily. The bark of the
stalk to be grated being thicker thar
that of the scion, the beginner is apt t.
set the scion too near the outside of the
stalk, whereas the inside bark of bott
should be in line, or cross each other {
very little by slanting the scion outward
trit1e. Saw the stalk off smoothly
Split lightly in the middle with knife O.
chisel; insert the narrow wedge IN the
center of the stalk only enough to admi
the wedge-shaped scions. Set scions il
firmly, withdraw the wooden wedg
carefully so as not to disturb the scons
and wax thoroughly the top of the stall
and cleft, also put little on top of eacl
scion. Keep the sprouts rubbed from
the stalks, and examine in hot weather
if the wax has melted or peeled off, pu

To Evado the Cabbage Root MaggOt.

To counterfeit Its ravages IN our sam
pie grounds, where we test all our varie-
ties of cabbage and cauliflower, we had
until this season dressed the land heavily
with oyster shell lime, using at the rate
of $50 bushels to the acre, sown on the
land after blowing, and then we'll har
rowed in. But this year the man in
charge of our trial grounds was absent
at the time the ground was being pre-
pared for the cabbage and caulifower,
and the dressing of lime was, for the
first time in five years, omitted. The
cabbage and caulitiower plants, which
were strong spring -sown transplanted
plants, were set out about the middle of
April. They started well, but about the
middle of May the droop in the leaf
showed that the maggot was at work.
We at once scraped the soil from the
stem of each plant and busted lime
around it, again drawing the soil up to
the stem. In addition to this good
handful of guano was busted around
every five or six plants, or about as thick
on the surface of the soil as sand is usu-
ally strewn on the floor.
The application of lime at once arrest
ed the work of the maggots on thestems,
and the guano started quick growth,
causing each plant to make strong roots
above the wounds made by the maggots.
The result is that the crop to all appear
ances is saved. We left a few rows with
out applying the lime and guano, to test
the result of the experiment, and in
these rows hardly plant will head up.
Of course this remedy is expensive, prob.
ably costing in guano and labor $40 to
$25 for every acre OF TO-, 900 plants, and
it would also fail to be effective if the
ravages of the maggots were too far ad-
vanced before the application was used,
but that it is effective if applied in the
early stages of the attack we have proved
beyond question. However, preventing
is always cheaper than curing, and il
there is reason to apprehend the ravages
from the attacks of this pest the ground
should be heavily dressed with lime il
the proportion and manner already given
If this is persistently done with eacf
crop there is but little chance of any
trouble, at least such has been our eX
perience in the past ten or fifteen years

The american CultiCdt0r says there is

insects injurious to man and the para

is always disturbing this balance, and
often to his serious hurt.
Fifteen million horses are now owned
in America, and more than 1 900, 900 a

The largest portion of these are used for
agricultural and heavy draft purposes,
and such horses bring from $175 to $245
each.
Do not fail to move the coops frequent

Potash is indispensable to the soil,
and not only for the real part it takes in
the formation of vegetation; its use goes
further. The phosphates of lime and
magnesia, insoluble in water. meeting

and can pass into the plants.
