A Clinton, Ky, dog, who had been the pet
of his master quilted the house when the
master one day brought home wife.
A fishing-rod was seen floating in Con-
necticut stream, and il evident that a
big fish was at the end of the line. No boat
being at hand, Charles Earle. of New Haven,
sent his water-spaniel after the rod. The dog
grabbed the rod at the thick end and began
to swim back with it, but the fish objected
vigorously. Finally the dog was pulled com
pletely under water. He came to the top
blowing, but still holding onto the rod. All
went smoothly then until the dog was half
way to the shore when the fish pulled him
under again. The plucky dog finally sue
ceeded in landing the pole at his master 5
feet, and the fish was taken.
The Hour tells story of a dog with a con-
science. The owner of a Skye terrier had a
dish of mutton outlets for lunch, and when
he had finished his repast there was one cut
let left on the dish. He began reading his
paper and appeared to take no notice of the
dog. The dog saw the outlet, and his mouth
watered. Then he smelled of it, and was
overcome by temptation. He seized the cut
let and bolted under the sofa, evidently ex-
pecting a whipping, but the master took no
notice. Finally the dog without eating the
meat, became conscience stricken, picked up
the outlet, laid it at his masters feet, hung
his head, and skunk away.

How Much Seed Wheat Per Acre.
american Agriculturist.l


One OF the questions to which there is no
definite answer is, how much wheat shall be
sown TO the acre? Much depends on the
condition of the soil, the degree of fertility,
the time of sowing, the liability to injury
from birds and insects, and on the subse
quent character Of the season. As rule,
less seed is required when sown with a drill
than broadcast; less when sown early than
when sOwn late. In Western New York
some farmers SOW only one bushel per acre;
still more SOW five pecks with drill, and six
pecks if broadcast Occasionally two
bushels per acre are sown, but probably
the average is one and a half bushel. The
American Agriculturist has readers in Great
Britain, where three bushels are sown and
again, in sections of our own country. where
three pecks are the rule. To the ineXper-
fenced, we can't give no better advice than
10 recommend them to ask their neighbors.
There Is generally some good reason for a
prevailing practice. If you think your neigh
bors are sowing too much, SOW little less :;
If you think they are sowing too little, SOW
peck more. Do not show your independ-
enee by halving or doubling up. If you do.
you are pretty certain to make mistake.

BY marrying the Princess Beatrice, Prince
Henry of Battenberg makes his home in
England, and he is under the obligation to
live near his mother, in-law, who desires to
still enjoy the society of her daughter as
much as possible. As all the Queens
daughters have been separated far from her
as the result of their marriage, the condition
under obedience to which Prince Henry won
his bride, seems reasonable one.
Prince Henry of Battenberg was born on
October 3, 1858. He takes his title from the
town of Battenberg, place of about 1000
inhabitants, situated in the Grand Duchy of
Hesso-Darmstadt. He is the third son of
Prince Alexander of Hesse, and his eldest
brother Alexander, is the reigning Prince
of Bulgaria. The second of Prince Alex
ander's sons is Prince Louis of Battenberg,
of the British navy and husband OF Queen
Victoria's granddaughter, the Princess Vic
toria of Hesse. During the two years imme-
diately previous to his engagement as hus-
band-elect of the Princess Beatrice Prince
Henry was Lieutenant in the Guard Corps,
the finest of regiments in the Prus-
sian army, and of which his eld-
est brother, the Prince of Bulgaria.
is Major General. He was a favorite in soci-
ETY. at Berlin, and since his residence in Eng
land has been, it is said, in special grace with
the Queen.
His bride is older than he, her life having
begun on April IA, 1857. Her life has been
retired and uneventful as the companion of
her royal mother. whose widOwhood began
when the Princess Beatrice was four years
old She carefully educated, and excels
as an amateur artist. The reader will call TO
mind the Birthday Album illustrated by the
Princess, which had large sale on both
sides of the Atlantic. In disposition the
bride is amiable and generous, and she is en-
deared to the British people by the fact that
her few appearances in public have been in
the performance of acts of benevolence.

Governor Sheldon was awakened at

The Hebrew Ahead.
IBoston Adyertiser.l

The elevation of Baron Rothschild to the
peerage not only marks the disappearance of
the civil ostracism TO which the Hebrew race
has been subjected in England, but it is an
important recognition of the growing in
fiuence of the higher Jewish element in
modern society. Sir Nathaniel de ROths-
child. as the new peer will be called, is the
eldest son of the first Jew who ever sat and
voted in the House Of Commons, and is him
self the first Jew, in the strictest sense OF the
term, who ever sat Ina the House of Lords.
Jews can now triumphantly recall the con-
troversy over the act for the removal OF Jew
ish disabilities in England controversy
that agitated the last generation as the Brad
laugh case, or almost any other, has agitated
this one.
