Give the climbers support,

Give the climbers support. A mulch helps hollyhocks.
 Evergreens may now be trimmed. Pull off the needless suckers from shrubs. If cannas are wanted very large, don't let them bloom.
 The best time to prune shrubs is directly after the bloom is gone. Better not now the yard at all than to neg lect the margins and corners. Neighbors can club together in owning lawn mower Where this plan has been tried it is worked well. Pansies, mignonette, sweet alyssum, and many other flowers will bloom with much greater freedom if no flower is allowed to seed.
 Thin the seed grown plants.-Seeds an- nuals and other seed grown flowers are usu- ally so cheap that it is proper to SOW them somewhat thickly, to ensure good stand.
 No greater mistake can occur, however, than to let such grow on without thinning, if the seed comes up well. One or two plants to a square foot of space in most cases, will make a far better show than half dozen or twenty plants in the same area.
 Weed the Lawns.-Whether @ lawn is made by seeding or laying the turf, there is almost sure to come a battle against plan tains and other coarse weeds, before hand some, velvety plot is secured. The wedding should be done as early in the season as pos sible There is no better way than to get right down to work with stiff -bladed knife and sever every perennial weed from it's root, just below the crown. Where the weeds are thick this may seem a big task, but person working steadily at it soon makes headway. A neighbor, whose lawn needed wedding, got his children interested in the work by paying a small bounty for each hundred weeds dug up, and they soon got over the

 A light airy barn cellar with a dry floor that will afford them chance for scratching, is about the best place for young chickens during bad spells of weather.
 Like milk for young animals, the grasses furnish 8 nearly perfect ration for all classes of herbiVorous animals. Nothing can sur- pass sueculent grass as a milk producing food, whether quantity or fine flavor is con sidered. If you don't believe that foreign matter or tainted atmosphere are capable of spelling the quality of butter, just weigh out pound or two and keep it in close earthen jar, or under an inverted vessel alongside of bar of soap or few onions for several days and see.

 closely confined, except when ignited, and
 that it cannot freeze, while it's strength is
 very great, and it's cost small. The experi-
 ments carried out were with breechloader
 discharging shells to distance of 1,090
 yards, all the shells exploding with great
 effect, while the blasting operations were

 and military officials witnessed the expert

 tory.
 The age of Niagara Falls has been under
 the consideration of scientists for many
 years. Mir. Bakewell, an eminent English
 geologist, gave personal attention to the
 problem as early as 1880, and, from every thing he could learn at that time, estimated
 that the falls had receded about 120 feet in the forty years preceding. He recurred to the problem again in 1S46, 1851 and 1856, and was each time confirmed in the belief that the apex of the horseshoe fall was re- ceding, on an average, three feet year. On the other hand, Sir Charles Lyell upon his first visit in 1S41, conceived that at the ut most the rate could not be more than one foot year, which would give us 35,000 years as the minimum time. But it appears the result of the recent survey is to confirm the estimate of Mr. Bakewell, thus bringing the period down to about 1000 years. The report of royal commission appoint ed by the Queensland government to inquire into the conduct of the labor traffic in New Guinea and the adjacent islands reveals some gloomy facts The commission examined as many as 500 witnesses, and the result of their inquiries was to prove that the history of the cruise of colonial ship is "one long record of deceit, cruel treachery, deliberate l kidnapping and cold bleoded murder" The kreport sets forth that, even under the most favorable circumstances, the natives had little or no idea of the real purpose for which ! they were invited on board, or engaged to go in the ship to Queensland. The recruiting ! agents, charged to secure the laborers, de- ! pended for success upon ingenious appeals to the cupidity of the savage. The sugar planters of northern Queensland urge that ! such system is necessary to the welfare and existence of their country and their opposi- | ton to any restriction upon the labor traffic | is accompanied with movement for the | formation of a separate colony. England can hardly afford to do anything to- encour- age slaveholding.

A VOICE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA

VOICE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA.
 This is the era of good feeling, and it is a great pity that there should be any signs that the ''era" is not just what it ought to be. But occasionally there is sign of this kind. One has recently cropped out in a little town in South Carolina named s'Mc- NeilI's" Two teachers from Massachusetts, which State used to be "a hotbed of aboli tionism," have been doing their best at Me Neill's to teach negro children. They came to the end of the term the other day and started to spend their vacation in their native State. They have evidently made their scholars their friends, for they were accom- panied to the train by crowd of them. At the train there was scene which was well calculated to shock the finest southern sen- abilities. The little negroes were so affec- tionate and so injudicious that they persisted in kissing their teachers goodbye, as white children often do. This performance was very much too much for the Hampton Guardian, which devotes much space to frowning upon it as one calculated to 'fdis- gust the passengers and citizens," one 'new to people in South Carolina, and they are not e1DSs the performers" It winds up as follows: We do not think the society which employs them will approve of this method of enlightening the blacks, and we are not quite prepared to believe, even after the disgusting performance at McNeilrs station, that the people of Massa- chusetts, whole, are so fond of the southern blacks as these 'tdown East" schoolmarms seem to be. If so then we most fervently beseech the good Lord to keep from among us their contami- hating presence and if they dc migrate south ward only let few come at time, that we may be enabled to massacre them without much trouble. Bring out the bloody shirt Arouse ye Celts and Sa1ons The civiliza- tion of the white race is in peril; the teach ing of fanatical, social equality, Praise-God- Barebones-R -Republicanisu is bearing fruit in the sunny South. Scotch it Kill it
 This is fine talk for this stage of the pro- ceedings. The Norwich Bulletin very prop erly suggests that 'Fperhaps if the gentlemen who mould public opinion in South Carolina would pay their own bills for educating the illiterate negroes whom their own crime has kept in ignorance and did not compel patri- otic and humane northerners to send teach CTS there for the work which ought to be done by home talent and paidI for by home money,-perhaps, we say, in such circum- stances, complaints regarding the way in which teachers treat their scholars would come from them with more grace" The best thing the Democrats of South Carolina can do is to appoint guardian for the
 Guardian.

Fugitive Wealth.

From the Cornhill Magazine
 There has never been, as far as we know, a more remarkable instance of tangible and yet fugitive wealth than of the fortune that evaded the grasp of the relative of a friend of the writer. He was, many years ago, at school at Harrow, and returning along the road by the bathing plaee-to Harrovians 'Fducker'-politely went to the assistance of stout farmer on horseback in difficulties with great lock. He opened the gate and held it back for the rider to pass. "Thank you, my boy," said the farmer, one of the wealthy Middlesex graziers who own large tracts of the Harrow and Primer rich meadow lands. "What may your name be9" ''My names Green," returned the boy, with an ill-timed burst of the imagination. "And what is your father?" ''Oh, my fathers 8 cheesemonger,' said the smart scholar, chuckling internally at his ready wit, 'fand he lives in London in the Theobald's road, rather a small shop, with two steps down out of tht street." ''I'm very much obliged to you :" replied the farmer, by no means as it afterwaId appeared-a man of straw. "Youre capital young chap, shant for get you" stDon't!" was the scholars final thrust Remember Green and cheese monger in Theobald's road.'' And up the hill he went, almost as much pleased with himself as if he had been asked to play against Eton at Lords. What his feelings may have been when, ten years later, a young gentleman by the name of Green was advertised for, whose father kept cheese monger's shop in the Theobald's road, and who, in return for politely opening gate al Harrow in the year 183-, was left large legacy by the wealthy farmer, recently de ceased-what his feelings were then none o1 los l., 411 ! it was observed by all that from that houi | the unhappy young man never lest an oP. portunity of insisting on the incaleulah1le e \ blessings of the most rigid adherence to \ truth; of the disasters invariably incident to ! even a momentary deviation from which vir-

The Queer Things Buckland Ate.

From the Spectator Uondon)l
 One of the most curious traits about him was his complete indifference to the disgust ing side of his experiments in the uses of ani' nal life Thus when the panther in the Surrey Geological gardens died, he insisted on hay ing it disinterred, that he might cook pan ther chop and taste it, which he did, with the dry remark that Git was not very good" And he seldom lost opportunity of trying a new food, however disgusting .ssome might have thought it. A friend who found him eating a piece of dead kelt [salmon at the time of year when salmon was unfit to be eatenl asked him how he could taste any thing so abominably nasty; to which he re- piled, ''It is nasty enough, but how can say so until have tried it?'
 Again and again he records how much the worse he felt for some of these experiments; how the lump-fish soup, which was 'some- thing like turtle,' made him ''rather seedy" the next day; how the horse-fesh banquet resulted in fit of bad indigestion; how he boiled elephant-trunk for many days without producing any particular result on the hard ness of the texture, and so forth. With one exception,-that of an oyster the size of a cheese plate,-he was no more discouraged from making experiments on his own stom- ach by any sense of disgust than he was dis couraged by his dislike of cold and physical illness from venturing into freezing water in search of salmon-eggs, pursuit which seems to have cost him his life.
