As there is so much frost-tOuched and
inferior wheat this year, it is well to
know how to test seed. The following
is given as simple method, much used
by seedSmen: Take a piece of salt
petre the size of hazel nut and dis
solve it III a saucerful of hot water mot
bOiling): as soon as the water is luke
warm put in the seed. 1t is said that
an onion seed under this treatment will
sprout in about ten minutes. Wheat
will probably take longer. Try it.

Fable OF the Mauchurian Mirror.

Tho King of Manchuria had magic
looking glass, whereon whose looked
saw, not his own image, but that of the
King himself. A certain courtier who
had long enjoyed the Kings favor and
was thereby enriched beyond any other
subject of the realm, SAID to the King:
'Give Inc, pray, thy wonderful mir
ror, so that when absent out of thine
august presence may yet do homage be-
fore thy visible shadow, prostrating my
self night and morning in the glory of
thy benign countepance, as which moth
ing has so divine splendor, oh MONDAY
Sun of the Universal"
Pleased with the speech, the King
commanded that the mirror be con-
veyed to the courtier's palace; but after,
having gone thither without apprisal, he
found it in an apartment where was
naught but idle lumber. And the mir
ror was dimmed with dust and overlaced
with cobwebs. This so angered him that
he listed it hard, SCATTERING the glass,
and was sorely hurt Enraged all the
more by this mischance, he commanded
that the ungrateful oourtier be thrown
into prison and on the morrow beheadcd,
and that the glass be repaired and taken
Dack to his own palace; and this was
done. But when the King looked again
on the mirror he saw not his image as
before, but only the figure of q crowned
ass-as the artifcers and all who had
looked upon it had before discerned but
feared to report. Taught wisdom and
charity, the King restored his courtier to
liberty, had the mirror set into the back
OF the throne, and reigned many years
with justice and humility; and one day
when he fell asleep in death while on the
throne, the whole court saw in the mir
ror the luminous figure of an angel,
which remains to this day.-DetrOH Free

Expensive Sugared YioIets.

As the listener stepped into his favor
lite confcctioners-a place where lie
enjoys some acquaintance, and where n
certain degree of impertinent inquisitive-
ness might consequently be pardoned
him-he noticed in the showcase q box
containing a few curious looking bjects,
the like of which he did not remember
to have seen before.
What are those, please2" he asked.
"Those," said the confectioner, "are
sugared violets."
"Sugared fiddlesticksr"
"N0; sugared violets."
'Dear mel Can afford to buy few
of them."
"Possibly. They are imported from
England, and we sell them for Sd q
pound"
SIS that all? Well, you may send me
up half ton, please; and be sure and
have the men on the wagon take along
baskets to deliver them in"
The listener was inclined to treat that
matter as little joke on the part of the
confectioner, but he found that the
sugarcd violcts were reality and the
price actual. Upon closer inspection
one could see the violets nestled in its
coating of sugar. Dainty food for on
