SUFFERING IN IRELAND.

Again the vail of want and sor-

While the question Of home rule for
Ireland is pending in Parliament,

The Lord Lieutenant Of Ireland
declares that Parliament will not il

thinning Root Drops.

1t may seem sometimes hard thing to do
10 pull up promising plants and throw them
away, and farmer is thus tempted to per-
nit The roots to stand too close in the rows =.
But it is indispensable to success that the
plants have plenty of room. Large roots
weighing ten to sixteen pounds can not be
grown at less than sixteen inches apart, and
eighteen inches is better still. AT this dis.
lance, with full rows, there will be $500
roots to the acre, and if the roots average
ten pounds, which is not at all difficult to
reach, there will be forty.nine tons to the
acre. At half the distance the roots may
only average three pounds, making only lit
tie more than twenty nine tons to the acre
The same applies to corn, for all plants need
abundant feeding space for the roots, and
must not be crowded much.

A great mistake is sometimes made
in ventilating cellars and milk houses
The object of ventilation is to keep
the cellars cool and dry, but this OBJ
ject often fails of being accomplished
by common mistake, and instead
the cellar is made both warm and
damp. A cool place should never be
ventilated, unless the air admitted is
cooler than the air within, or isN at
least as cool as that, or very little
warmer. The warmer the air, the
more moisture it holds in suspension.
Necessarily, the cooler the air, the
more this moisture is condensed and
precipitated. When cool cellar Is
aired on a warm day, the entering air
being in motion appears cool, but as
it fills the cellar the cooler air with
WHICH 1t becomes mixed chills it, the
moisture is condensed, and dew is de-
posted on the cold walls, and may
often be seen running down them in
streams. Then the cellar is damp,
and soon becomes mouldy. To avoid
this the windows should only be
opened at night, and late-the last
thing before retiring. There is no
need to fear that the night air is un-
healthful-iti is as pure as the air of
midday, and is really drieE. The
cool air enters the apartment during
the night, and circulates through it.
The windows should be closed before
sunrise in the morning, and kept
closed and shaded through the day.
If the air of the cellar is damp, it may
be thoroughly dried by placing in it
q peck of fresh lime i'll an open box.
A peck of lime will absorb about
seven pounds or more than three
quarts of water, and in this way a
cellar or milk room may soon be
dried, even in the hottest weather.

Thele is o proverb which says that
there are more false facts than false
theories in the world. Indeed, false
theories spring from mistakes as to
facts, or wrong Interpretation of
them. An instance of this is the case
of wheat found in the collins Of
Egyptians mummies. It has been
stated over and over again that such
wheat retained its vitality for oyer
four thousand years, and had sprouted
as fresh and green as the seeds of last
years. planting. Minister S, S. Cox,
who represents this country at Con-
stantinople, had this matter thorough
ly tested, He sent package OF
wheat found in the graves of mum
mics to responsible agriculturists in
this country, who planted it under
the most favorable conditions; but it
would not germinate. Indeed, it was
found on cutting the seed that it had
turned to dust.-Demorest's Monthly.

Can Imagination KiII.7"

This is, perhaps, hardly the corfect
form ofquestion that the British ana
Colonial Druggist puts to itself i'll dis
cussing the death ofthe young woman
at Hackney under circumstances III
which Keating's insect powder large
ly figured. AS the powder appears py
DR.. Tidy's experiments to be perfect
ly harmless, the suggestion Is not
unnaturally made that the deceased,
who was possibly of hysterical,
highly imaginative turn of mlnd'
took the powder in the full belief that
by its means her death might be ac-
complished. The writer of the article
in our contemporary, we think wrong
ly, brings forward two remarkable in
stances of what may be regarded as
practical jokes with melancholy term
nations. In the case of the convict
delivered up to the scientist for the
purpose of psychological expert
ment (the man was strapped to
table and blindfolded, ostensibly to
be bled to death; asiphon containing
water was placed near his head, and
the fluid was allowed to trickle audi
bly, into q vessel below it at the same
time that trifling scratch with
needle was inflicted on the culprits
neck; it is said that death occurred at
the end of six minutes) fear must
have played no inconsiderable share
in the fatal results, and we do not
know whether all the vital organs
were in a sound condition, though
they were presumably so. The old
story of the case of college porter is
also one in point. The students en-
trapped him into a room at night, a.
mock inquiry was held, and the pun
ishment of death by decapltation de-
creed for his want of consideration to
the students. 1t is small wonder that

most other occupations, there are
some annoyances.
If the type is large, it don't contain
much reading matter.
If we publish many formulae, says
the editor, folks say they are not re-
liable.
If we omit them, we have no enter
prise or are know-nothings.
If we have no jokes, folks say
we are fossils.
five have jokes, they say we are
ratt1e-heads.
If we publish original matter, they
scold us for not giving selections.
If we give selections, people say we
are lazy for not writing more, and
give them what they have not read in
some other paper:
Ifw givea complimentary notice,
we are censured for being partial.
five don't all hands say we are a
great humbug.
