Fall Flowing.

Fall blowing says the New York
Times, rs required to produce partcu-
lar effect, and should. therefore. be per-
formed Ill a particular manner and one
calculated to effect the desired purpose
and most completely. What is required
chiefly is to expose the largest surface
TO the influence OF the atmosphere, to
the changes from moisture to dryness,
to the frosts and thaws This is done
by throwing the soil into ridges, so that
1t remains in a succession OF miniature
hills and valleys, exposing twice as much
surface as II the Iurrow slices were laid
flat. in this case only ~. same
quantity OF soil as laid previou. upon
the surface would be turned up. the
other case the furrOW slice would be :
posed on two sides, and, moreover. n
plowing IN this manner the bottoms of
the burrows are left open and loose:
and air can circulate there. 1t is at
this season that the ground may be
plowed a little deeper than before to
bring up an inch or two Of the subsOil to
mix with the surface, and SO add to the
arabic and fertile layer. The new soil
IS exposed to the atmosphere and mel
lowed and changed in character. and
this course, continued at every fall ploW-
ing, gradually deepens the soil and en-
riches it with fresh materials for plant
food This could not be done safely at
any other season than the present. for
reasons that are obvious when the prin-
-ciple involved and above explained is
understood. When the soil is very
heavy and inclined to be wet the
method should be somewhat different.
In this case larger ridges may be thrown
up, either by breaking the surface with
wide burrows or double ridges, and
leaving these exposed as they are
thrown mp in Jumps and clods, which
will be broken down and melloWed by
the frosts during the winter. This
method, however, is suitable ONLY for
heavy clay, which is most improved by
iall blowing

Royal Marriage and Detroth'

Prince Oscar o: Sweden's romantic
engagement to Miss Munck, one Of his
royal mothers maids OF honor, has
been already cabled. The young man
is the second son of the King OF Swe-
den, and % years of age. and the
young lady is just one year older than
her royal lover, so it is not a case OF
boy and girl infatuation, which every
body supposed when the match was
first announced. The King and Queen
at first opposed the marriage but ul-
timately consented. probably think.
ing it was scarcely the thing for a
grandson OF one OF Napoleon's mar
shals to put on sovereign airs and
weep about mesalliance. The prince,
in accordance with Swedish law, will
lose all his royal privileges and right
of succession to the throne but he is
not likely to worry about that, as
his elder brother is already blessed
with several sops. The Car. in the
midst of his other troubles, has just
had to decide a delicate family mat
ter. Duke Nicholas, his cousin, and
one OF his aids.de-camp, has fallen in
love with a middle-aged widow. That
would not have been anything very
unusual for Russian grand duke to
do, but Nicholas went further-he
actually insisted on marrying the
lady There was great ado in the inn
perial family. Nicholas remained OBJ
durate, and finally appealed to the
Car. and induced him, as head OF the
family to give his consent to the
match. 1t need scarcely be said that
the marriage will be a moreanatic one.
The imperial bridegroom is 81 years
OF age and the bride is 40. Gossip
has already coupled the names OF
other young royalties including Prin-
cess Louise OF Wales and the Grand
Duke Michael. youngest brother OF the
Gar, Princess Victoria OF Wales and
the Duke of Sparta, heir to the throne
of Greece and the Prince of Wales eld-
est son, who will. perhaps, be King OF
England some day, to Princess Alex
andria, eldest daughter OF the King OF

How They Deal With Drunk
ards,

From the New York Evening Post.
The country Soions who make the
laws OF the commune near Mons. in
Belgium, have shown great wisdom
in dealing with drunkards. A few
months ago law was passed making
it serious offense to be palpably
drunk in Belgium. These local wise
men concluded that the law was too
severe, and that they would content
themselves with making. drunk ards
useful and diminishing drunkenness
at the same time. When drunkards
appear on the streets of this village

litely home. The next morning he
goes to the houses of all those whom
he found drunk the night before and
presents to each broom tor sweep.

allowed to choose between working
for the commune for one day and
being prosecuted for drunkenness.

streets. The village streets are in
consequence marvelously clean, and

than their natural share of dust. pass

Rainbows Around the Moon.

RainboWs Around the Moon.
From the London Daily News.
No wonder that the scientific papers
are wont to scott at the lamentable
ignorance Of elementary science which
is too often exhibited III the press. A
paragraph was widely published which
gave an extract from the Berlin papers
descriptive of a ''lunar rainbow"
which consisted of two very well-de-
fired circles OF light around the moon.
This would be a strange phenomenon
indeed, for it is a matter OF common
observation that rainbows, whether
solar or lunar, are invariably oppo-
site to the source OF light, and cannot
be brought into the same field OF view
with it. True lunar rainbows are
rather uncommon, but the formation
OF circle or circles of light around
the moon at some distance from it
may be seen often enough when the
sky is covered with thin vail of cir
rus cloud such as usually precedes a
cyclone. These rings are often white,
but the presenc g Of scolor is by
no means unusual. They are
produced by the passage OF
the light through the minute ice
particles of which the cloud is COM
posed, and are therefore totally dis
tinct from rainbow, which is due to
reflection from drops of water. Rain
bows arc due to reflection and refrac-
ton; Their rings of light around the lu-
minary are due to refraction only.
The phenomenon should have been
described as q ''lunar halo" which is
an entirely different thing from q lunar
rainbow, and has nothing particular
~ remarkable about it.

A Future Life For Animals,

John Wesley, the founder ofMetho.
dism, thought there was future life
for animals. So did those Christian
Bishops. Jeremy Taylor and Bishop
Butler. Coleridge advocated it in
England, Lamartine in France and
Agassiz in America. Agassiz, the
greatest scientist we ever had on this
continent, and man of profound re-
ligious convictions, was firm believer
in some future life for the lower an
imals. A professor OF Harvard Uni
versity has compiled list Of 185
European authors who have written
on the subject.
Among the leading clergy of Boston
who have publicly expressed their be-
lief in a future life for animals are
Joseph Cook, Trinitarian, and James
Freeman Clark, Unitarian. Some ten
years ago man left by will to Mr..
Bergh's New York Society about one
hundred and fifty Thousand dollars.
Relatives contested the will on the
ground that he was insane because he
believed in a future life for animals.
The Judge, IN sustaining the will,
said he found that more than half
the human race believed the same
thing.
