Its melancholy note is described as
very impressive. 1t begins in high,
clear key, like the tinkling of silver

one key to another, it suddenly fall

The song is heard only in the open

but few times. The singeris rarely
seen during the day.

The Buckwheat CrOp-Valua.
a. BILE.

The BuCkWhe0t CrOp-V0lua-
BILE.
Buckwheat can be made q proftar
BILE crop, if proper care is given to it.
This grain is worth at least seventy
five cents q bushel for feeding, if it is
properly fed. It is best ground with
corn, as fine as possible, and may be
fed with cut hay or straw moistened
with water. The seed may be sown
early in July. We have found thick
seeding the best. At least one bush
el per acre should be used. It pays
to prepare the ground as we'll for
this crop as for any other, but It is
especially useful for the purpose Of
breaking up and old meadow, and
prepare it for reseeding. The sod
will be well rotted, and the soil mel
lowed and made ready for fall grain
crop, if this is desired, to be followed
by the grass seed the next summer.
No other crop, except peas, so we'll
mellows the ground as buckwheat,
and this is precisely the effect requir-
ed in reseeding land. Besides this
useful purpose, buckwheat, is valua-
BILE for it's grain. It will easily pro-
duce thirty or forty bushels per acre
if well managed, and bushel of it is
worth two bushels of oats of the
light sort usually grown, which is
largely husk. The crop, too, is put
in at times and harvested at times
convenient for the farmer. -Ameri-

Kissing.

In one of the letters written by him
from England in the reign of Henry VIII,
Erasmus dwells with immense re fish on
the English custom of kissing ladies at
first meeting them, and describes the Gus.
tom as delightful. because maidens as
we'll as matrons kissed all visitors both
when they came and when they went.
One of the courtesies appertaining to this
usage was that partners kissed at the close
of dance. Thus the King in Shake
speare's Henry VIII. (act l., scene iv., }
when he sees Anne Bullen for the first
time and dances with her. says to the lady
as soon as the dance is over:
at were unmannerly to take you out
And not to kiss you" Kisses her.l
Manifestly this custom, familiar to an
Elizaoethan audience is assumed, though
not expressly indicated in the dancing
scene in Romeo and Juliet" If we saw
all the partners kissing at the close of the
dance we should understand at once that
Romeo's kiss is not '.unmannerlv." as il
certainly now appears to us. 1t nav be
objected that a modern audience would be
shocked by such an unlimited and promis
euous quantity of kissing. But | do not
think that would be the case if the business
Were properly managed. The dancing is
of a more or less stately character. The
general salute at the end of it would be
equally ceremonious. The special char
acter of Romeo's action would then be felt
in its right relation to all that is going on
around him. For he has no express title
to kiss Juliet. since he is not recognized
visitor. but an intruder and an enemy
Neither can he claim the privilege OF a
partner. tor he has not danced with her.
But under the cover of prevailing usage.
and the general kissing that is going on all
round him. he approaches Juliet with the
devout reverence appropriate to her as
sumed character, and Graves permission to
pay holy palmer's homage TO the shrine OF
his devotion. This is demanded by the
true spirit of the scene, which under these
conditions (but these onlv) becomes
graceful and poetic. The kissing between
all the partners at the end of the dance
leads naturally up to the kissing between
Romeo and Juliet; and instead of Romeo's
first greeting of Juliet being marked by
vulgar familiarity. it takes the character
of peculiarly deferreutial homage

A Japanese Girls Toilet.

When Japanese girl gets up in the
morning she washes her face, but does
not have to dress her hair. That is at
tended to but once week. The hair
dresser comes to the house and arranges
her jet black locks in the fashion for girls
of her age. So she has no trouble about
her hair, and after her bath the servant
assists her to powder her neck with a
small white brush. She puts n little red
paint on her lower lip and little gliding
in the middle. When she removes her
sleeping dress she has on only short
skirt, which is simply square piece of
cloth, Grape. or silk, tied around the waist.
No other underclolhiug is worn. In max
ing her toilet for the day she first puts on
a garment made usually of some coarse
material. not very long, and reaching
only to the waist. but with long sleeves.
On the neck of this garment is sewed a
deep fold of scarlet or some bright-coored
Grape or silk A long, straight skirt of
blue or red Grape, silk, or wool is tied
around the waist, and over all three of
these garments is worn the kimona or
dress. This is of some dark color, and
made of coarse spun silk or thick Grape.
For festivals and holidays the dresses are
of very five material and very handsome.
The outer dress is simply wrapper reach
ing to the feet. with very long and wide
sleeves hanging nearly to the ground,
and used as pockets. On each shoulder a
deep tuck is made, which extends to the
waist thus making little fullness for the
skirt. But this dress has no gathers. and
is straihgt all the way down. The neck is
adorned with wide piece of black velvet
or satin, which reaches nearly to the
waist, and the dress is crossed over the
bosom and confined by girdle. Over
this is worn a very wide sash. piece of
brocaded silk or satin. stiff with embrOid-
