ty through two years gave very nearly
the same results as the above in the
product per acre.
Director Lazenby arrives at the fol-
lowing conclusions from these expert
ments: Wheat may be sown too thick
as we'll rs too thin for the best results;
The richer the soil and the more perfect
the seed-bed, the less the amount of
seed required; there is more danger in
sowing too much than too little, and no
rule as to quantity a be made for diff
ferent regions. The right quantity may
vary with soil and exposure, the size of
the kernels, capacity of the variety for
tillering and injury from insects, and il
oil conditions we're at their best, three
pecks to the acre would be ample. The
increase above this quantity requires
knowledge and judgment on the part
Of the farmer as to the quality Of tho
seed and its liability to these various ac-
cidents and inluences.-Boston Globe.

nearly perfect, and the American peo-
pie were rather proud of it. 1t was a
magnifcence which somewhat crushed
them, but they felt they were somehow
a part Of it, and 1t is doubtful IL any
foreign potentate was ever served ex-
actly in that way. 1t was very cheap at
five dollars a day, and if there had been
any dinner to match the evolutions, we
might still be in that snowy period OF
our National development. The hotel
clerk had so subdled the spirit OF the
traveller that he had not perhaps much
appetite, and rather preferred magnif-
icencs to comfort. But in time, with
other standards of taste, this pageantry
vanished, and the traveller began to
assert his manhood.
OF course there are still traces left OF
the old civilization, and when the trav-
eler finds them, they awake a train Of
reflections upon the singular develop
ment of democratic life in America

Poke Root.

The common and often unsightly
weed, when growing in fence corners,
known as poke root, garget root, OF by
the botanists MS Mytola ga decandrtd,
is, like some other uncouth. neglected
things, susceptible of great improve
ment by cultivation. 1t is in fact
highly ornamental, and far surpasses
many shrubs that are highly extolled
in the catalogues. A bush of it which
has been permitted to grow in a corner
of the writer's garden is "a thing Of
beauty with its deep-green, hand
somely-shaped foliage, its bright red
branches and stems, and its deep
purple clusters of fruit hanging grace
fully upon the stems and waving in the
breeze. There are two plants growing
from one forked root, eleven stems
some of them two and one-half inches
in diameter-and a multitude OF
branches which spread with M exceed
ingly graceful habit from the tall stems.
The bush Is eight feet high, has a cir.
conference Of thirty-one feet, and bears
hundreds Of depending, long clusters
of fruit. some of them being nine inches
long. This waif from Natures gar.
den certainly behaves itself in a most
graceful and scomly manner in the
highest circles of society in the garden,

The majority Of farmers In Smelling

Sturtevant, Director Of the New York

From experiments extending over

that the experiments were made, but
simply to see what difference there
would be in the yield, the quality and

THE HOTEL CLERK.

A Peculiarly American Parsonage Whose
Days Are Numbered.
The hotel clerk has disappeared, or
is disappearing. The faithful chron-
icler must note this sigificant change in
American life, for it Means the passing
away of a whole order Of things. And
he notes it with a certain sadness. For,
though this clerk was feared by the
general public, he was the admiration
of the humorist. There was never any
thing in the world before answering to
this respondent autocrat of sleeping
accommodations, this darling Of the
flashing pin, perfumed locks, impudent
eye and lofty condescension. He wa

In fact, the kind of civilization that

foreign traveller did not recognize as a

mistook for vulgarity. He belonged to
what might be called the steamboat
period, when the steamboat was as
gorgeous and as beautiful rs a barbor's
saloon. and its clerk had the fine man
ners and the striking attire Of the
gambler. He belonged to the era Of the

AN ESSAY ON MICA.
Where the Substance Is Found anu the
Price 1t Commands In Various Parts Oh
the World.

Wbcro the Substance Is Found and he
Price II Commands In Various Parts OF
the World.
Mica is known as glimmer or mus
covy glass. 1t is u substance OF foliated
texture, which is capable Of being di.
vided into leaves like a dining-room
table. The leaves have q sensible elas-
t.c,ty and are so extremely thin as to be
perfectly transparent. The color of
mica is greenish, and sometimes 1t IL OF
every other known color. 1t is greasy
to the touch, very like a large section OF
salted hog. 1t is soft and as easy to be
scratched as a kittens back. When
divided across the back it seems rather
to tear than to break.
In Liberia thin plates of mica are
used for window glass, This is said to
be a perfect safeguard against small
boys who throw stones. Mica is dug in
large uuantit es in Irkutsk and llmGva.
Mica is not found in Elkhart or lph-
spening. So plentiful is mica in Bengal
that fer a dollar a dozen panes, twelve
by nine inches, may be purchased. In
Cincinnati a watermelon that will pro-
duce two-dozen pains may be purchased
for half-a-dollar. 1t is therefore cheap
err to live in Cincinnati than Bengal.
Ordinary objects a be seen through
mica at the distance of thirty yards.
Blind men and persons who are full OF
whisky can not see through it at thirty
feet.
As a substitute for glass, mica is like
q we'll developed tramp; having the in
convenience of becoming dirty, its
transparency being destroyed by long
exposure to air.
Powdered mica is employed in Europe
and on the clothing of American circus
riders as spangles for the purpose Of
giving brilliancy. To our knowledge,
Mr.. Tennyson and Walt Whitman have
of late years forgot to use powdered
mica in decorating their poems. Hence
the lack Of brilliancy to the SAID poems.
1t was formerly sold by stationers as
sand for absorbing ink in writing, but
since the introduction of spring poets
it is not used as sand.
The best mica is of a pure, pearl
color, and when split into leaves pre-
sents q smooth surface, not unlike the
floor of a skating rink.
Mica, like smallpox patients, is fre-
q~uently annoyed with small scaly
blisters which greatly depreciates its
value.
1t is said that mica was first discov'
cred by Mica-el Angelo, who was also
the author of Mica-do, a once popular
comic opera. -7he Judge.

The Lesson Taught by tho Late Chief.
Justice Marshall.
Chief-Justice Marshall was a great
and good man. Good men are not
proud men, for pride is an indication
Of a little mind. Chief-Justice Marshall
was not too proud to wait upon himself.
He was in the habit of going TO m ,rket
himself, and carrying home his pur-
chases.
Often might he be seen returning at
sunrise with poultry in n hand and
vegetables in the other, in the most
homely fashion.
On one Of these occasions q fash on
able young man was swearing violently
because he could find no one to carry
home his game. Judge Marshall s epped
up, gently rebuEed him, and asked him
where he lived. When he heard the
reply, he said: THAT is in my way, and
Twill take your game home for you
When they came to the house, the
young man inquired: what shall
pay you9"
"Oh, nothing said the Judge;
''you are welcome. IL was all in the
way, and 1t was no trouble to me-"
"Who is that polite old gentleman
who brought home my game for meP''
asked the young man Of a bystander.

ing and Their Results.
Among the many experiments with
thin and thick seeding which have been
performed at experiment stations and
elsewhere, those at the Ohio station
give as distinct results as any. Eight
plats Of ground were selected, eacn
one-sixteenth of an acre. The treat
ment of all was alike, except in the
quantity Of seed used. They were
sown with wheat on September %.
The quantity of seed varied from two
to nine pecks an acre. The earliness
of the crop was slightly in favor of
thick seeding, but the thin seeding
gave the largest kernels sc nearly
alike, however. as to be determined
only by weighing. Less was winter
killed in the thin seeding. The fol-
