Dixorcas Of tho World.

The following particulars as to the methods
Of securing divorces in different countries are
interesting:
Shamese- first wife may be divorced, not
sold, as the others may be. She may then claim
the first, third and ifrh child. and the alternate
children are yielded TO the husband.
Arctic region-When man desires divorce
he leaves the house in anger and does not re-
turn for several days. The wife understands
the hint, packs her clothes and leaves.
Tartar-The husband may put away his part
ner and seek another when it pleases him, and
the wife may do the same. II she be ill-treated
she complains to the magistrate, who, attended
by the principal people. accompanies her to the
house and pronounces formal divorce.
Chinese-Diverces are allowed in all cases OF
crininality, mutual dislikes. jealousy, lncom-
pa;ibllity Of temper, or too much loquacl'y on
the part Of the wife. The husband cannot sell
his wife until she leaves him and becomes a
slave to him by action OF the law for desertion
A son Is bound to divorce his wife if she dis
pleases his parents.
Javans-If the wife be dissatisfied she can OBJ
tain divorce by paying certain sum.
Thibetans-Divorces are1seldom allowed un.
less with the consent Of both parties-neithel
Of whom can afterward re-marry.
Moors-Ifthe wife does not become the moth
er of q boy, she may be divorced with the con-
sent of the tribe, and she can marry again.
Abyssnians-No form OF marriage is neces-
sary, The connection may be dissolved and
renewed as often as the parties think proper.
Siberians--If the man be dissatisfied with the
most ,rifing acts of his wife, be tears her CAP
or veil from her head, aud this constitutes d.
vOrce.
Coreans-The husband can divorce his wife
and leave her the charge Of maintaining the
children; if she proves unfaithfu he can put
her to death.
Durss and Turkoman-Among these people
if wife asks her husbands permission to go
out, aud if he says "go," without adding "but
come back again." she is divorced. Though
both parties desire 1t, they cannot live together
without being REMARKED.
Cochin. Chinese-If the parties choose to sep
arate, they break q pair of chop sticks or cop
per coin in the presence Of witnesses by which
action the union is dissolved. The husband
must restore to the wife the property belonging
to her prior to her marriage.
American Indians--Among some tribes the
pieces OF sticks given to the witnesses of the
marriage are burnt as sign Of divorce. Usual.
ly new connections are formed without the ole
ones being dissolved. A man never divorces
bis wife If she has borne him sons.-1Leed.

NOTES.

The Farm Journal advises that we keep crib
bling horses loose in stables without managers.
Let them eat of the floor.
Low tops on fruit trees are convenient 'or
gathering fruit no fruit trees should be allowed
to grow like hop poles.
I'D Curtis OF Syracuse, N Y, well known FOR
his interest in dairy products, is authority for
the statement that in herd of PfSteins the
best mixers are those which had the most white
on their bodies. The whites were Sle mixers rs
but the blacks were the hardest. The color at.
fects the milking qualities of COW is not, how
ever, generally accepted.
In some places where the clover worm has
destroyed this plant for several years disease
has attacked the enemy and has increased so
rapidly that clover trees are comparatively free

| worms which rapidly destroys them. Probably

places where the worm is yet unchecked IN us

There IL no doubt that injury 10 potato leaves
either directly by the Larvae Of the potato beetle
or BY the poison used in destroying them, is the
reason why potatoes run out and become un-
productive sooner than they used to. All the
varieties now grown are Of comparatively re-
cent origin. To maintain quality and product
iveness, We must keep the potato tops from DE-
ing injured by anything until the crop Is tnor.
oughly Observation-Disclosures
Squash borer remedies tried with partial sue
cess at the New York experiment stations; A
solution OF one ounce Of Paris green in eight
gallons of water, applied with a watering pot for
a distance Of two feet from the main stem OF
the plant. -Four ounces Of coppsras dissolved
in one gallon Of water. and gallon OF the solu.
ton poured about each plant for distance OF
four feet, has been partially effective. For the
onion fly, SCOT and kerosene oil, mixed with 100
times its bulk of water and spilled with
sprinkler, are remedies fsvorsbly recommended
but only partially effective. Undoubtedly the
best remedy is to dig and burn the infested
onions, of course beginning this as soon as the
pest appears.

The Memory Of the Incas.
TQuito Cor. Inter Ocean.

The devotion of the Indians to the memory Of
their king who was strangled $50 years ago i.
very touching. When "the last Of the Incas '
tell he left his people in perpetual mourning
and the women wear nothing but black to-day
1t is a pathetic custom of the race not to show
upon their costumes the slightest hint OF color
Over a short black skirt they wear sort OF
mantle, which resembles in its appearance, as
we'll as in its use, the "manta that worn by
the ladies of Peru, and the "mantilla" Of
Spain. II is drawn over their foreheads and
across the chin and pinned between the
shoulders. The somber costume gives them
a nun-like appearance, which is heightened by
the stealthy, silent way in which they dart
through the streets. The cloth is woven on
their own native looms Of the wool of the llama
and the vicunas, land is SOFT fine texture.
While the Indians are under the despotic
rule of the priests and have accepted the Catho-
lie religion, $50 years of submission has not en-
tirely divorced them from the ancient rites
thew practiced under their original civilization.
Several times year they have feasts or celebra-
tons to commemorate some event in the Inca
history, and like the Aztecs in Mexico, they
still cling to a tope that future ages may re-
store the dynasty under which their fathers
lived. and destroy the hated Spanisrds.

FARM AND HOME.



Every farmer Is supposed to know all about
haying; bat as we never knew one shat was
not ready to ask questions sometimes during
the season, we will give few hints' hoping
they may touch some cases. "Mske hay while
the sun shines" Is an old and good rule, Dut 10
do this 1t IS not necessary to do the moving In
the hot sun; especially in thin grass and when
there are frequent dull, cloudy days. Tmn
grass moved when 1t Is wet will not injure till
it willis and then 1t can be raked and put up.
De not wait for all the grass to ge' Its growth
before you commence cutting. When the best
grass 10 ready, cut 1t IL the weathd is gesd and
let the thin grass wait; the loss WI be less. IL
you have any haying to do in dog days watch
the weather at night, and OF 1t looks fair, never
stop for fog the next morning. RAke the hay
early in the afternoon. II 1t i punched up
with the heat OF the sun in it, will be drier
the next morning than II 1t Did till night
When handled in dry air 1t driet very fast
and whom the sir is damp the haylpartakes OF
the moisture. Open the punches Y the morn
ing as soon as the dew is oil, so that q larger
surface may be exposed to thssun; IN this
way 1t may be sufficiently dred Without
scorching so as to break while hIndllng' - II
does when handled over in the hot part OF the
day. If hay has to stand out through spell
of dull cloudy weather, take some time when
the sun shines and build the punches over by
putting the lock on the ground and then the
next and let it be as light as possible, and 1t
will dry off faster and still be ready for rain.
Be sure that the first hay you put IN ls dry
enough or it may heat and injure the whole

mold 10 the barn. Glover hay will keep IN the
barn when it Is dry enough so the bark on tne
nail. About sailing hay there is great differ
ence of opinion. II the hay is dry enough! to
keep without, salt will not hurt it, bat packing
damp hay in salt is questionable policy

A Chinaman's Recipe for Tea Making.

Use black tea Green tea when good is kept
at home. What goes abroad is bad, very bad
and horrible. Besides containing the two hum
dred and three authorizations the Chinese philan-
thropist puts up for the outside barbarian, 1t is
almost always pervaded by copper dust, from
the dirty curing pans Of the growers. Any man
who drinks green tea regularly is bound to nave
a copper plated stomach. I believe whisky
drinkers are said to be copper lined, in the jo-
cose language of the "boys," but the green tea
drinker is actually.
Infuse your tea. Don't boil it. Place one
teaspoonful Of tea in the pot, and pour over 1t
one and half cups of boiling water, that is,
water really boiling. II your tea Is poor, use
more. It's cheaper, though, to use good tea at
the outset. Put your pot on the back part OF
the stove carefully covered, so that 1t shall not
lose its heat and the tea its bouquet. Let 1t re-
main there five minutes. Then drink it. Peo-
pie who boil tea will fry beefsteak, stew coffee,
eat with knife and commit other equally NOR
tai sins.
Use china or porcelain pot. If you do use
metal, let it be tin, new, bright and clean; never
use it when the tin is worn out and the iron is
exposed. II you do, you are playing chemist,
and forming a tannate or tea-ate OF iron. This
mixture is a brunette, sour, vile and unwhoie-
some. Iron may Oe 8oou Ior tue oioou, pu'
mixed with tea it is anathema maranatha.
Drink your tea plain. (And here | know !
shall raise up q cloud OF enemies). Don't add
| milk nor sugar. Tea brokers and tea tssters
never do; epicures never do; the Chinese never
do. Milk contains fbrin, albumen or some
| other stuff, and tea delicate amount OF tannin
Mixing the two makes the liquid turbid. This
turbidity, if l remember the Cyclopedia Alright,
| is tannate of fibrin or leather. People who put
milk in tea are therefore drinking boots and
| shoes in mild disguise. After you've drunk tea
"straight" four or five times, you'll never 90

Apple-red is the name OF new shade in net
yelling. 1t is soft and pretty, and throws be-
coming shade on the complexion.
u Embroidered silk gloves are the latest. The
white ones are particularly pretty and very much
worn.
Yachting dresses made of cream flannel, with
tucked skirts and blouse waists slashed with
red or yellow are just the thing
Sleeves are made less tight and plain than
hitherto; for thin wash dresses they frequently
come only as far as the elbow, finished with a
fall of lace.
For tennis some charming gowns are made Of
cream wooden material with jerseys to match
the latter being embroidered in gay colors.
