TWENTY-FIVE CHILDREN.
This IL the Record of Mr.. and Mrs. Karkert
During Seventeen Years OF Married Lie.

This IL the Record Of Mr.. and Mrs. Karkert
During Seventeen Years OF Married Lie.
In the rear of No. 233 Rlackhawk
street, upper floor, lives Wilhelm Kar-
kert, father oftwenty-two children, but
three of whom are living. The family
occupies but one small room, that is,
that portion Of it above ground.
Nineteen of the twenty-five children
are dead, seventeen buried in Germany
and two in America. The record OF
the family is something remarkable,
for Mr.. and Mrs, Karkert will
have been married but seventeen years
January 9 next, The couple are al
most of the same age. He will be forty
March IL, 1886, and she will reach that
age the 18th of the same month, They
were married in Keesln, an ancient
town in Pommerania, Germany, jan
uary 9, 1869, and from that time on, at
an average of every ten months, Mrs.
Karkert has set one or more babies
into this world. While her husband
participated in the Franco-Prussian
war, and as Napoleon Ill. surrendered
at Sedan, Mrs. Karkert at home
did her duty by swelling the census
| by two young karkerts OF the
male persuasion. Unfortunately, they
only lived thrty-six hours. Next time
she bore twins, less than year after
the peace had been signed at Frankfort.
Mrs. Karkert had no better luck. Since
then the children have been born singly
the births coming with mathematical
precision, every ten months. They
have all died with the exception Of the
first two children and the last one, little
Anna, born August l6. The little
creature is troubled, however-like all
the nineteen that died before herewith
commissions, and she looks rather frail,
and too wise and peaked for her age.
Despite her incessant efforts in the
maternal line, and despite frequen,
sickness, the twenty-two-fold mother
looks vigorous and healthy. She is a
rather good-looking woman, of gener'
Gus dimensions, large, soft brown eyes
and fair skin. The husband may also
be called handsome. He is above the
medium height, of good normal build
with regular features, thick, full
beard and dark-blue eyes. Three
years ago, or the third day after
giving birth to another child, Mrs
Karkert was seized with smallpox, but
recovered, and no mark remains to tel
the tale. She says that she has never
been interrupted in her work by the
frequent births, always leaving hel
couch and resuming her household du
ties within twenty-four hours. The
couple have been in Chicago three years
the husband having been employed al
carpenter in various shops. He is living
in enforced idleness now, as durin.

MULCHlNG FOR PLANTS.
A Winter Protection Which Should Not
Be Neglected.

Winter Protection Which Should Not
Be Neglected.
There are many plants and trees that
need some protection to carry them
safely through the winter. 1t is not the
river cold that, as a rule, does the mis-
chief, but rather the frequent sudden
changes, freezing one day and thaw-
ing the next; small plants especially
are injured in this way; and often en-
tirely killed, unless afforded some pro-
lection by muching. The strawberry
in exposed positions is very often in
iured if left uncovered; but the straw
berry is plant that requires much
more care in covering than most of
garden plants, because, being partial
evergreen, : is not safe to cover it to
any great depth, or to cover it with
any material which will settle down so
close as to shut out the air; coarse hay
is really one of the best coverings that
can be given the strawberry; but corn
stalks, or even evergreen boughs,
make very good covering. Raspberry
plants may be laid down and covered
with earth, because there are no leaves
to preserve.
Young, and even old, trees are very
much improved by heavy mulching;
but if anything is used to mulch with
that will make good shelter for mice
care must be taken to protect each tree
with a mound of earth to reach above
the mulching. The material to be
used for mulching the orchard must be
governed by the condition of the soil;
if the soil be moist, heavy soil few
inches in depth of sand makes an ex-
cellent mulch, and will very much i'm
prove the orchard if it be spread over
the whole land; but if the soil be some
what light and dry the soil from an old
swamp is an excellent material, and
covering of two or three inches over the
whole surface will make q lasting inn
provement. The practice of spreading
on such material for mulch, and COW
ering only small space around each
tree, is very poor one. Before APP
| plying sand or leaf mulch to an orchard,
the land should receive good dressing
of manure. An orchard that has been
in grass few years will be greatly
benefited if covered late in the autumn
with mulching of leaf-mould deep
enough to smother the grass to a de-
gree sufficient to kill out portion of
the roots. This benefits an orchard
more than it does to pillow it, and if the
material is near. it costs hut little, if
any more.
Plants, the tops of which die out
every year and send up new shoots
every spring, and are only half hardy,
can easily be protected by covering
with some material that will settle
down close and shut out the air. One
of the best materials for this purpose is
moist leaves; but, to keep them in place
after they have been packed down
closely, they must be covered With
boards or slight covering of earth.
Currant bushes always do better
when well mulched; the best material
for this purpose is good stable manure,
the more the better, if not deep enough
to heat There are few plants tina:
grow which take so kindly to stable
manure as the currant, and few that il
will pay to feed so liberslly -MaSsa-

Merchant Navies of the World.

A comparative table of the strength
of the merchant navies of the world
which has been published in France
shows that Great Britain possesses 3d.
800 trading vessels, with an aggregate
tonnage of IL, 200, 900 tons. OF these
vessels 4, 649 are steamers with a tonnage
of $4,000 tons, or rather more than
one-half the grand total of burden.
The United States makes very bad
second, with $500 sail and $4,000
tons. Norway has 1900 vessels, with
100000 tons, and Germany, which
comes Immediately after her, has 5000
sail, with a total of 1,4O0,OOO tons;
France, Italy and Russia bring up in
the rear, each with less than 5000 YES
sells. The proportion of steamers is,
however, of greater Importance than
the total number of ships engaged in
trade, and in this regard France stands
second, although she has but %8
steamers, of 1000 tons in all, to En-
glands 4.649. Germany presses her
closely with APO steamers and 476, 1000
