[Chicago Journal
happened to overhear curious con-
troversy in the art gallery of the EXPOSE
ton concerning the name given to one OF
the paintings 1t was the beautiful little
canvas of R. w. Hubbard, entitled, ac-
cording to the printed catalogue, "Pool
above Aam." Several persons stood
around it admiring it, when suddenly the
question was sprung: "Where is Aam"
One gentleman thought that it was town
in Connecticut, not far from where Mr..
Hubbard has his country seat. An
Irish gentleman shook his head, and
thought that it was in Connaught.
A we'll dressed man with Teutonic &C.
cent remarked judicially that he thought
Aam was hamlet not far from Stuttgart,
and, in tact, he had distinct impression
that he visited it once, in his childhood.
Just then minister came up, and over
hearing what they said, suggested that ii
his memory served him right, Aam wasan
ancient city in the Holy Land, where
Joshua once worsted the Amalekites. He
thought the account of the battle would be
found in the second book of Chronicles.
perhaps in the fourth or fifth chapter.
Just then Mr.. Leonard, who superintends
the gallery, and who hearing the contro-
versy had disappeared to make some in
vestigations, returned and informed them
that the name of the picture as givin in
the catalogue was misprint, and should
have been "Above DAM"

known article of medical consumption

just at the time that people are better
able to dispense with its use than at any
other date in the history of the drug

scientific drainage have abolished
large part of the tendency to "shake"
VIII oh was formerly a characteristic Of
the American, especially those of him
who had settled on new lands. The
sections of our broad country that are
now awaiting settlement are those in
which water is scarce, and the swamp
would almost be welcomed instead of a
nuisance. In both the new and the old,
quinine is of very much less value than
formerly, and not a small part of its
current consumption is of the artificial
sort 1t still sells at nearly seventy
cents per ounce at wholesale, and at re-
tail for as much as the conscience of the
druggist will permit hun to charge.
But even this is an immense decline
from the nearly three dollars per ounce
which was charged at wholesale two or
5hree years ago, and the German article
can be bought for considerably less than
the inside price above quoted.
1t is now reported that an English
chemist Creswell Hewett, of Lon

the best quinine can be manufactured at
cost not exceeding threcpence per
ounce. He stumbled on the secret by
accident, the clew being furnished by
the breaking of o medicine bottle; but it
is none the less valid, as the new prepa-
ration is not simply an imitation, but
an actual reproduction of the essence of
the bark itself, by means of a true and
complete chemical synthesis. The re-
suits of the new process are said to have
been exhib ted to leading manufacturers

nounced by them to be equal to the best

TOP FODDER.
A Valuable Article of Food Which is Free
quently Entirely Overlooked.

A Valuable Article of Food Which is Free
quently Entirely Overlooked.
1t is strange that farmers are so slow
to learn the value and economy of top
fodder. In some sections such forage
is entirely overlooked. In others it is
put up in limited quantities. Farmers
generally think topping corn is very
slow work, and, consequently. poor pay.
Yet it is the cheapest forage that can be
supplied on the farm. A good hand
with sharp knife will readily cut, bind
ahd shock two acres per day in average
corn. Some farmers hire tops harvested
at fifty cents per acre. When well
cured it is small job to put them in
the barn NOW. The best time to cut is
when the tops are about half ripe. Max
ing liberal allowances, such fodder
should be put in the NOW at cost Of
seventy-tive cents per acre. think
three acres of tops will make as much
feed as one of meadow. But estimating
it at four acres, the cost in the barn
would be three dollars. In my locality
timothy hay sold at seven dollars per
acre as it stood in the field. And here
the custom prevails where meadow is
let out ION the shares" to take one-half
for putting the other half in the barn or
stack. This rule is too extravagant.
But taking it as it is, hay costs fourteen
dollars per acre put in the barn; and
making every reasonable allowance for
localities Speaking of farming distr ctO
and variation in prices, hay costs from
two to three times as much as corn tops.
Then there is still q greater disparity.
Saving corn tops is a net gain, for if
not thus utilized it goes ia waste,
whereas, the rental value of meadow
land must be taken into account, and
must be added, which, in this locality,
would rate at five dollars per acre. So
if the farmer puts up his own meadow,
he should charge himself with that much
to begin with, and the exhaustive ma
ture OF timothy meadow is an important
factor. Cutting timothy and corn fod-
der (the whole stalk will each impov-
erish soil much quicker than other
crops. The silica which glazes the stem
or stalk and gives it strength to sand
erect, is thus removed from the soil,
and if persisted in and not returned to
the soil, the effect will soon become
very apparent But when the tops OF
corn-stalks are taken, comparatively
little of the silica is removed from the
field.

on such forage. But the most remark

ENGLISH GYPSIES.

The Only Time in a Gypsy's Life When thu
Church Is Called TO His Aid.
: It is a curious fact that the English
Gypsles, outlaws as they are, often de.
sire to have their children christened &C.
cording to the rites of the English
Church. There is no poorer babe born
into this world than is the heir of "the
kingly race as they call themselves.
More than four hundred years ago
1.-The separate people invaded the
British islands, and have wandered
through them ever since, as separate
still as at the beginning. Poorest Of
people on earth, yet the Gypsies have
one possession they would not barter
for any mans gold Their pride is in
their liberty and they look on the dwell
ers in houses with lofty scorn.
When Gypsy baby is born, it is the
deep wood which hears its first cry, and
the wild bird which sings its cradle.
hymn. If it is summer, mother and
child may find pleasant shelter beside
some fragrant haystack; but if it is win.
ter, only shaky tent shelters them
from the storm. This little one is
swathed in rags, and it can never in all
it's life become home-sick. since it knows
no home.
The mother brings it to the village
church, and stands at a distance, hum
bly, waiting till the children of the house
dwe.lers-the children born to homes
and hopes-have received their christen-
ing, and then she comes forward with
ier dusky darling, and he is christened
bp some outlandish Zincali name, and
she goes out of the church and wanders
away with him.
Never again in the gypsy's life is the
church called to his aid. He thrives
well, for the fresh breath of nature
quickens his pulses, and he grows like
the trees and flowers and the wild things
of the wood. When the time comes for
him to marry, he asks no aid from
priest or parsOn.
The customary place for Gypsy we'd
ding is sandpit. The witnesses stand in
two long rows, facing each other, and
halfway down this line, "a pole, OF
the traditional "broomstick," is held
up about eighteen inches above and on q
level with the ground, The bridegroom
first walks down the path "between
the two rows of witnesses, jumps over
the broomst:ck and awaits his bride.
She walks down, from the other end, in
her turn, jumps lightly over the stick,
and is received in the arms of her hus
band. Very loyal husbands and wive:
the Gypsies are; and this irregular br.da
is held as sacred and binding as are the
most solemn ceremonies of the church
When Gypsy dies, no minister i:
summoned for his burial. Uncoflinee
he is carried to his last rest, deep in thu
forest, or on some lonely heath. under
the heather. But the Gypsies mark hi
grave; and when they come that wa,
they stop, and call him by his name, ant
give him greeting, as if not even witt
the earth above him, could he be deaf t.

Agriculture in Holland.

The country of Holland is divided up

me the average is not over fifty acres.
Agriculture is carried on with industry
and intelligence. Nothing is allowed to

nure is so carefully distributed that in

which surround every field, have to be
