II .e Jersey Cattle Boom.

The leading aim of the best breed
ers now seems to be to breed for the
butter record. This is so much the
case, that the great majority of Jer-
sey COWS that have a record below
fourteen pounds of butter a week,
are comparatively cheap, while those
with record Of fourteen pounds a
week, upwards to twenty-five and
thirty pounds week, are compare
lively high. Those at the top Of
the scale are sought for and bring
fabulous prices, or what would be
called such few years ago. Great
emphasis is put upon their butter
record, and the condition of the
tests, as to ratios and previous feed
of COW, continually grow more pre-
else and satisfactory. The aim is,
to show the value OF a given ami
NAL on specified value of ratios, as
a machine for making butter, or
what the COW will do on grass alone,
in flush feed. These tests are made
under the supervision of the Ameri-
can Jersey Cattle Club, or under the
direction of such witnesses as secure
impartiality and give entire conf
dence in their correctness. These
butter records of the Jerseys are
quite remarkable, compared with
the average yield OF common COWS.
They are remarkable especially, as
showing the prepotency of bulls

A Noble Girl.

A young man in company with
several other gentlemen called upon
a young lady. Her father was also
present to assist in entertaining the
guests. He did not share his
daughters scruples against the use
of spirituous drinks, for he had wine
to offer. This was poured out and
would have been drunk, but the
young lady asked:
did you call upon me or my
papa?"
Gallantry, if nothing else, COM
pelled them to answer: "We called
on you"
Then will you please not drink
wine. / have lemonade for my visit
ors."
The father urged the guests to
drink and they we're undecided.
The young lady added: "Remem-
ber, if you called on me, then you
drink lemonade, but if upon papa,
why, i'll that case, / have nothing to
say"
The wine glasses were set down
with their contents untasted.
After leaving the honse, one of
the party exclaimed; THAT was
the most efiectual temperance lee
ture | have ever heard"
The young man from whom these
facts were obtained broke off at once
from the use of strong drink, and
holds a grateful remembrance Of the
lady who gracefully and resolutely
gave him 10 understand that her
guests should not drink wine.

Anecdotes of Artists.

Pliny tells us of the rivalry be-
tween Zeuvis and Parrhasius as to
which of them could most closely
initiate nature. Zeuxis painted a
simple bunch Of grapes and set it up
at his window, and the birds came
and pecked at it. Surely that must
be a close resemblance which could
deceive the birds themselves. Then
Parrhasius painted piece, and ask.
ed his rival to come to his studio and
see it. Zeuxis came, and the paint
ing was shown him. But portion
of the piece was obscured by an In
teryening cur: in. Dear friend,
will you lift az. de that curtain that
| may see the whole picture ?" Parr-
hasius smiled, and showed him that
the curtain was q part of the paint
ing. "Ah," said Zeuxis, I" / deceiv-
ed the birds, but you have deceived

painted another fruit-piece-a stout
peasant boy loaded with grapes and
figs. And the birds came and peck
ed at that also, whereat the artist
was exceedingly vexed. Said he:
{" If l had painted the boy as near
to life as / did the fruit, the birds
would not have ventured SO near

Another writer-Valerius Flaccus
puts it on record that Zeuxis
death was occasioned by one of his
own paintings. He had drawn, and
partially colored, the picture of an

effect so exceedingly funny that he

The Smallest Republic.

went to Italy to work as a mason at
the rebuilding of the walls of Rimi-
nj. Its territory covers about twen-
ty-two square miles. The popuia-
ton numbers $500 souls, and the
capital, San Marino, has l,2O0. Ii

The Climate of the soudan.

General 4. P. Stone. in an article
upon "The Climate of the Egyptian
Soudan.n - published in Science, says
that the climate of the province Of
Dungola, where Lord Wolseley and
his soldiers are eacamped, is not
only good but agreeable during the
month Of November, December,
January and February; that during
March, April, May and the first halt
of June it is exceedingly trying to
all but natives, while from June to
September southerly and south
westerly winds come charged with
moisture, and make fever common.
From the beginning of March to
mid-June the thermometer often
indicates from IS to ITO degrees
Fahrenheit in the shade, while dur
ing the night it falls to 65 or 20 de-
grees. With such changes intermit-
tent fevers are prevalent, and are
liable to take typhoid forms. The
dust-storms which at this season
come from the south are of dis
treesing frequency and violence, but
General Stone thinks that, to some
extent, they destroy fever-germs.
With the best of care, the British
commander will be fortunate if he
does not lose more than 10 per cent.
of his troops before October, and
have another 10 per cent. so weak
ened as to require a month OF cool
weather to restore their strength.
The climate Of Suakim can hard
ly be considered unhealthy, save for
the excessive heat, except in De-
cember, January and February.
But the heat of the desest, which
there cones TO the very sea-beach,
is of an intensity not to be conceiy-
ed by those who have not felt 1t,
and sun-stroke and congestion await
upon exposure to it. In April, IN
the shade, the thermometer often
indicates 1902 to 1852, and the foot
soldier not only receives this direct
heat but suffers in addition that ra-
dated and reflected from the light
colored soil. The route from Su-
akin to Berber is impracticable to
European soldiers during the spring
and summer months, except by
marching only at night and in the
early morning.
In the province of Taxa and the
district of Gallabat-that is to say,
in the region below the Abyssinian
Highlands, watered by the Atbara
and its tributaries-the climate from
June to October is deadly for Euro
peans. The rains are copious, and
the floods of water pouring down
from the Abyssinian piateaux make
the rich soil like saturated sponge,
while the rank vegetation and ex-
halation poison the air. In many
districts the natives flee to the des-
ert, together with their fiocks and
herds, in May to avoid fevers and
stinging insects. In October they
return, to find their country delight
ful IN climate and glorious IN vege-
tation.
The climate of Khartoum is hot,
damp, and very unhealthy from
April to October, but not disagree
able in the winter, except from the
location of the town at the junction
of the Blue and White Niles, and
the lack of sanitary rule.
Kordofsn has less rain, and is not
unhealthy even in April, and May;
but from June to October (the rainy
season. the climate is debilitating,
and intermittent fevers strike all
bnt natives.

How 60 Get Early Garden Crops.

There are many ways of getting
early crops, or of trying TO get them,
such as starting the plants in the
house or hot-bed, and covering them
with glass, ETC., after they are set
out. But when these methods are
not adopted, there is still chance
TO have early vegetables, and a good
garden. II is simply to select the
warmest and driest soil, and sow or
plant early. 1t is not desirable or
wise to SOW or plant the main crops
before the soil is in good working
condition. But for few early crops
on small scale, we can well afford
to run little risk of losing our seed
by too early sowing. One thing,
however, should not be overlooked.
Do not depend on this early SOW
ing, but SOW or plant again, a little
later, when the soil and weather are
more favorable. If the first sowing
succeeds, YOU are SO much ahead; if
il fails, you have los: only the seed
and your labor. You can well af-
ford to run this risk. There are
some crops which can be sown the
moment the frost is out of the soil,
with little or no risk. Among these
wemay mention peas, cabbage, caul-
ifiower, spinach, onion, lettuce, Gel
cry, beet, carrot, parsnip, etc. 1t is
seldom that these crops are hurt
by early frost. Last year frost in
May destroyed many cabbage plants
but this is a very unusual occur
renee. Among the crops which we
should re-sow without waiting to see
if the first sowing will escape, are
beets, radishes, cabbage, caulifiower,
beans and sweet corn.-American
