on equal lengths Of rows the increase
was ~ per cent. OF dwarf beans. and
within fraction OF 10 per cent. OF car

On both OF these trials the spaces oc-

Queer Analogies in Nature.

The cocoanut is. in many respects,
like the human skull, although it
closely resembles the skull of the
monkey. A sponge may be so held as
to remind one Of the unheshed face of
the skeleton. and the meat OF an Eng
lish walnut is almost the exact repre-
seutation of the brain. Plums and
black cherries resemblei the human
eyes; almonds and some other nuts re-
semble the different varieties of the
human nose. and an opened oyster and
its shell are perfect image of the hu-
man ear. The shape of almost any
mans body may be found in the vari-
Gus kinds of mammoth pumpkins.
The open hand may be discerned in
the form assumed by scrub-willows
and growing celery. The German tur-
nip and the eggplant resemble the hui
man heart. There are other striking
resemblances between human organs
and certain vegetable forms. The
forms of many mechanical contrivances
in common use may be traced back o
the patterns furnished by nature.
Thus, the hog suggested the pillow;
the butterfly. the ordinary hinges the
toad-stool. the umbrella; the duck, the
ship; the fungous growth on trees. the
bracket. Any one DESTROYS of proving
the oneness of the earthly system will
find the resemblances in nature most

How to Lay a Carpet.

CARPETS are often badly laid down,
either from ignorance or careiessness'
The carpet should be laid down as 1t is
folded the way the widths are to run; it
must he unfolded by degrees, not
dragged open any way. When the car
pet is opened out let the center width
be laid out perfectly straight from one
end to the other, and taeks put at each
end to keep it in place, and all the 9TH
err widths laid straight according to the
first. When one of the widths is
straight and thoroughly stretched, let
it be tackled down at regular intervals
When the first end has been firmly
fastened down, let one side, at rlght
angles to the first nailed, be tackled
taking care to keep it "taut," as the
sailors say. When the side and end at
right angles have been fastened down.
the corresponding side and end are cas-
ily disposed of, and the thing is DONE

MAIL IN MiO-OCEAN.


Woman's Tender Thought for Her
Travelling Husband.
On the first night out, just as my
vis-a-vis at table was sitting down to
dinner in the beautiful saloon of the
City of New York, steward stepped
up and handed him a letter, saying;
With the Captains compliments,
sir"
Every night this performance was
repeated. Sometimes the Captain
himself presented the letter. 1t was
mysterious and interesting. The gen.
tleman who received the letter seemed
to be greatly astonished when it came
to him on the first occasion. but after
ward he merely showed signs of en-
ioyment in reading its contents. He
was very delightful man and great
favorite at our table, but though every
body was dying to know where the let
tiers came from. nobody had enough
impudence to ask him.
But on the day before we reached
New York | happened to be standing
on the companion-way with this gen.
tleman when the Captain presented
the letter. and the former said. as he
tore open the envelopes: Queer idea
of my wife's, isn't ite She sent the Cap
tain seven letters addressed to me and
asked him to deliver one to me every
evening before dinner. She thought
would be glad TO hear from her every
day, and | tell you it has been one of
the pleasantest events of the voyage,
this mail delivery in mid-ocean. -
