Kaffir corn and the different kinds of sorghum make excellent forage, ard some of them, on light work, complete substitutes for grain food.
 have found especial advantage in the cultivation of early amber for for age. To feed green, to best advan- tage, it should be planted every two or three weeks convenient to the barn. It will be ready for use about the time it is seeding, and can be fed to great profit through the entire season. I feel that 1 can not too earnestly commend early amber, not only as an excellent forage crop, but partial substitute for grain as well.
 As dry forage, farmers must be a little caution about curing. One sea- son l lost sixty wagon-loads by allow ing it to stand too long before cutting. Possibly each man had best experi- ment for himself on this point, taking advantage of my mistake in waiting until the seed had we'll formed. I would suggest as, probably, the best time for curing, just as it gets into full bloom. Fodder corn and Kaffir corn can doubtless wait until farther ad- vanced.
 These crops should be drilled in rows about three feet apart, with the seed near enough to each other to pre- vent large growth of stalk. The dis tance must be determined by the char acter of the land. The object is to minify the stalk, as large growth be- comes too fibrous and hard.
 The main objection urged by farmers to the crops 1 am advocating is the amount of waste, as in the case of oat straw. Farmers who do not intend to supply themselves with a good cutting machine ought not to expect any thing but manure from such crops. A good straw and forage cutter will pay for itself on an ordinary farm in one sea- son. It is much better to invest little money in machine than great deal in constant waste. On the larger farms a power machine can be attached 10 the same engine that runs the gin, and enough forage cut on rainy days to supply the farm without apparent loss of time.
 On smaller farms any of the inn proved machines will do rapid and good work. run by hand, and save largely in preparing food rations for the farm teams. Forage crops and hay will greatly help the matter of cheap, nu- tritiOus stock food. W. J. Northen, in Southern Cultivation

CONCERNING WASTE.

Outward Demonstrations of a Melancholy
 Condition of Society.
 Custom, the director of nine-tenths of our expenditure, is founded partly on convenience or necessity, but much more largely on mere vanity and want of common sense, and the result of this unreasoning custom IS abundant wastefulness. Time, health, enjoy ment, high intelligence, creative skill, the hopes and valuable efforts, as dis tinct from the absurd desires and mean frivolities of life, are sacrificed; and all this loss has been accepted by the world as something predetermined and inevitable. Yet how many social customs are entirely irratiOnal; the commOnest and most accepted being, as it seems, the most absurd. And, to begin with the great measurement of life, the chief and permanent eX- penditure of men is their expenditure of time, which is persistently, and al- most always, made in an unnatural way. The sun, the great originator and support of life, should, it appears, be regularly followed in its daily course. But good society re- pudiates the daytime that is made for healthful exercise, and chooses nighttime for its recreation. Working days begin from four to six hours later than the average daylight, and extend as many corresponding hours into the night. The folly is entirely can be given for it, and the tax on the community is enormous. Nothing is gained by the ridiculous perversity of living wide awake at night and sleep ing in the day. The two words goods" and furniture" are, in respect of household chattels. held to be of the same meaning; yet there is great distinction in the proper use and value of these simple terms.

Forage Crops.

Farmers at the South rely too much upon grain for stock food; such diet is concentrated, and given in abundance is not healthful. Furthermore, it is expensive, and the policy, no doubt, explains in some degree the large eX- pense account among farmers. Espe- cially is this true of corn. Farm teams would be in much better condition as to health and efficiency if they were given much less corn and more oats. Oats are not so heating as corn, and they furnish more of the flesh-making elements.
 Farmers will do well to hunt out cheaper food products, especially if the general conditions of the farm stock are to be improved thereby. Oats can be grown at very little cost under favorable circumstances, and they fur nish an abundant grain and forage crop. l must believe farmers are mak- ing a mistake to abandon fall sowing. 1 have never yet in the severest winter had oats killed below a fair stand, if sown by the middle of Septem- Der and we'll put in, in good soil. Sheaf oats. cut into short length by a good Ross machine, will make ex celent food for farm teams at much less cost than corn, with the limited amount of forage it furnishes. For the purposes we are now discussing, oats should not be allowed to become fully mature, as much of the value will be wasted by scattering and the dead ness of the straw. The amount of oat straw to be seen trOdden und 'r foot during the season of feeding is as- tonishing. 1 have, oftentimes, found it in barns two feet deep and almost a complete loss. It furnishes some thing of an absorbent, it is true, but, outside of that, it is a perfect waste of a fair forage crop. As an absorbent it would do much better, if run through a machine. It is, however, altogether out of place under foot, until it has been first run through the teams. Cut at the proper stage, wheat straw, cut up and mixed with other food, will furnish a good degree of nourishment.
 Taking 1000 pounds, the compara- tive value of good hay, oat straw and wheat straw can be determined from the following table:

GERMAN GYMNASIA.

Combination of Grammar School
 Academy and College.
 The very word 'gymnasia' suggests what these schools are, namely, palastre; not for the body, however, but for the mind, preparing and strengthening the student for intel lectual life. Their aim, as is stated in the educational constitution of these schools, is not merely to help the student in acquiring such a degree of classical and scholarly education as is needed for a thorough understanding of the systematic and learned lectures of the universities, but to equip him with mode of thinking and feeling which befits ennObled humanity. In this way the gymnasia have done their work for many de- cades; and if we review their history, we can not but pay them the tribute that, though conservative, they have been duly progressive, too; that they have adhered to the principle both of ''go ahead" and of mold fast" The materialistic tendency of the age, to be sure, they have never favored, and as this materialistic tendency has gained ascendency they have severed them selves from the newly-rising schools in which learning and intellectual pur- suits are treated rather as the means than as the end to be attained. Not that they have left their programmes unchanged during the last century, but they have always maintained firmly that carrying utilitarian principles into their curriculum would lower their standard, and would deprive those who desire them of higher intellectual blessings, and thus would not satisfy their demands |. on life" There is a vast difference, as great writer has said, between worshiping science as a high, heaven ly goddess and regarding it merely as a fine COW which provides us with butter.
 The name ''gymnasia' as applicable to schools dates back as far as the six teenth century, and the record of some of these schools extends even to the fourteenth century, although the term became generally established for all schools of the highest grade only in the year 1872; some having passed until then by such names as college, lyceum, etc. The historic background has by no means been unimportant and insignificant in the development of the gymnasia at large. Whether we are conscious of it or not, the historic spirit does hold mighty sway over us all-age implying experience-andI do not think at the present day the firm ness of the system, which does not bear the slightest mark of experimenting. could be maintained in these schools if it were not for historic growth and his toric results that speak so much in their favor; for the large majority of German scholars who have stocked the libraries with valuable works in all branches of learning were bred in these schools.

An Amusing Anecdote Related by an
 Iowa Clergyman.
 A clergyman in Iowa relates the fel- lowing anecdote, which, as he says. ought to be hint to all couples who are going to be married. A lady called upon him and announced her name as Mrs. M, a widow, living in dis tant part of the State. Her husband had been killed in the civil war, and she had applied for pension. But it was necessary for her to prove her marriage. This she had not been able to do, as her marriage certificate was lost, and all the witnesses except tho minister himself. were dead.
 She had come long distance to get the minister's evidence, insisting upon it that he was the person who had per- formed the ceremony.
 But do not remember any thing about it, madam" said the minister, after listening carefully to the woman's story. "I have married hundreds of people in the last twenty years, and l can not remember your case at all"
 "Why, you must remember that evening. wore a travelling suit, and my husband was tall man with black whiskers. "
 "I have married a great many tall men with black whiskers."
 But don't you remember we came in while you were at supper, and you asked us to wait in the parlor few minutes?"
 ''I don't remember it."
 "Don't you recall how my husband was very much embarrassed, and dur ing the ceremony knocked vase off the table near which we were stand ing? And then he apologized right in the middle of the service, and we all laughed about it afterward."
 "I don't remember even that. Other things like it have happened since. Can't you name something else?"
 Other little things were mentioned, and the clergyman hunted up all his old letters and journals in hopes of discovering something that would re- call the ceremony, and enable him truthfully to identify the widow. But all in vain.
 Finally, the lady, with some hesita- tion and confusion, said: There is one thing that I am sure you can not have forgotten. My husband had driven over from the next town. In  his absent-mindedness he had left every cent of money at home.
 Now, don't you remember that after the ceremony he came up to you as if to hand you the regular fee, and then, instead of doing that, he stam- mered and blushed, and finally asked you to lend him five dollars with which to pay his hotel bill, promising to re- turn the money the next day. Surely you must remember thatr'
 "Ah, yes, indeed, I remember that very well!' exclaimed the minister. And he could not help adding. Il haven't seen the money yet"
 The widow received her pension shortly afterward and not long after that the minister received a ten-dollar bill, with the words: Payment for D good memory" - Youths Com, panion.

 Just as the Parisian woman consti- tutes distinct type in Europe-a creat- ure made up of charms and graces, wit and affectations-so also does her serv- ant The mistress is always success fully photographed in the maid-the higher creation finds its inevitable and fatally correct expres sion in the lower. Only in France-only in Paris-is the true femme de chambre found. It has pleased us, here, to borrow word from the argot of Paris ia petite bonne," which is applicable to the en- tire class of female servants -whereat the femme de chambre proper is the only one member of this immense fam ily-the type par excellence, found only in the families of the aristocratic cir cles of Parisian life. La petite bonne" bears no resemblance to the English nurse, to the rigid German goverpess, the Swiss "bonne," to the ''maritOrnes" of Spain, or the ''cameristes" of Italy-all of whom breathe the atmosphere of domestic service, have the coarse hands and ill-shOd feet of the lower classes and hold themselves in a position of humility and servility, suggestive of the serf- dom of antiquity, La petite b0nne" of Paris IS parsonage of importance and of rare elegance.

She cultivates her hands, .man- icures her nails and arranges her hair in the most becoming and coquettish style-with an eye to her hatless con- dition on the streets. Unfortunately, on her jour de conge, she hides all this delicate simplicity beneath the cast-off finery of her mistress, and she is then neither lady nor petite bonne" only a travesty on the former. La petite bonne" walks with the undulat- ing grace of the ''bayadere. She af- fleets every new caprice of coiffure and carriage-she knows every new Paris ian fad by heart and keeps the run of the fashions with the same accuracy as the society woman who possesses many millions. She takes the utmost care of her teeth-which tare always small, white and even-and she cultivates the prettiest laugh in the world, which displays two rows of glistening little pearls set in their shining coral. Her duties are to dress Madame and to attend to commissions of delicate nature, requiring tact and skill. Therefore she must be, by nature, clever and intriguante. She counts the linen, and mends the laces, and keeps an attentive eye to Madame's wardrobe, but she never soils her white fingers with the dust of grOsser duties. These she hands over to some menial below her in the scale of servitude. 'La petite bonne" never marries the valet nor the coachman in these days. Her wise and cunning plans are laid, to secure some weil-tO-do bourgeois. It is, perhaps, unnecessary to add that she always secures him, and then ''la petite bonne", becomes ''lss petite bour- geoise."
