Nitro-glycerine and dynamite do not,
when exploded, exert as much force az
is popularity believed. To speak pre-
cisely, the power developed by the ex-
plosion of a ton of dynamite is equal to
1863 foot-tons. One ton of nitro-slyc-
crime similarly exploded will exert a
power of 81, 452 foot tons; and one ton
of blasting gelatine, similarly exploded,
7l,0jO foot-tons. These figures, al
though large, are not enormous, and
need not excite terror. Seventy-one
thousand tons of ordinary building
stone, if arranged in the form of a cube.
would measure only ninety feet ON the
side, and if it were poss;1ie to concern
trate the whole force of a ton of blast

Lime Water for Earth Worms.

Vick's Magazine.
In the use of lime water to destroy
earth worms in the soil of flower pots
some persons fear injury to the plants
by using it too strong, and therefore
neglect to employ it altogether. 1t
should be understood that lime water
will not injure plants. And by lime
water is meant all the lime it will
hold in solution. This is a definite
quantity, and cannot be increased, no
matter how large an amount of lime
in excess is used for certain quanti-
ty of water. The water will hold so
much and no more. After Stacking
lime in water it is allowed to settle,
and then the clear liquid is poured
off; this is lime water. The soil of a
plant can be saturated with it by
pouring it on, or by immersing the
pot in it for time. This operation
will destroy earth worms, or compel
them to escape.

Grapes on Trees.

Matthew Crawford, in Mich. Horticulturist.
The grape rarely fails when allow
ed to climb over trees. 1t matters
not what kind of trees, or whether
they be living or dead, if they only
have branches that the tendrils can
take hold Of Astonishing crops are
produced in this way even on vines
that receive no care. The most sue
cessful planters in the world plant
trees and vines together so that the
latter may have suitable support.
Many unskilled farmers have blum
dered into the same method and have
had abundant success. A vine will
make twice the growth in a tree that
it will on trellis, and where an eff
fort is made to have it occupy both,
it is always found that its main ener-
gies are expended in the tree. A
newly planted vine should have
Dluon IllolCdu vi ~ SIdhC, do IL IlttS llO
means of clinging to the latter. If
the tendrils can find nothing to take
hold of, they continue in motion for
a time, reaching in alldirections, and
this is eXhausting to the vine. For
this reason skilled gardeners often
cut off the tendrils. When growing
vines on stakes | have often driven
lath nails in convenient places for
the accommodation Of the tendrils.
Although grapes do so well on trees
without much care, let no one sup
pose that he anaccomplish anything
by planting vines at the roots of es-
tablished trees. The soil being pre-
occupied, the vine will not have a
fair chance. Plant it at a distance
from the tree to be covered, and after
it has made some growth it may be
brought to the branches, where it
will take care of itself. On nearly
every farm there are worthless trees
that might be made to carry bushels
Of grapes.

PATIENT WITHLOVE.

They are such tinny feet
They have gone such little way to meet
The years which are required to break
Their steps to eyenness, and make
Them go
More sure and Slow
They are such little hands
Be kind, Things are so new, and life but
stands
A step beyond the doorway. All around
New day has found
Such tempting things to shine upon, and so
The hands are tempted hard, you know.
They are such new, young lives,
Surely their newness shrives
Them well of many sins. They see SO
much
That, being immortal, they would touch,
That if they reach
We must not chide, but teach.
They are such found, clear eyes
That widen to surprise
At every turn; they are so often held
To sun or showers--showers soon dispelled
By looking in our face.
Love asks for such, much grace.
They are such fair, frail gifts;
Uncertain as the riffs
OF light that lie along the sky
They may not be here bye and bye
Give them not love, but more-above
And harder-patence with the love
