Public Readings l'ay.

What emoluments do public readers
receive? They are generally well paid.
Mrs. Scott-Siddons, for instance, makes
more money than any one else in the
profession. and has returned to Europe
with 700, her, net receipts for sea-
sons readings. She receives from 500
to 5000 night.
Locke Richardson gets even higher
pay. For course of six readings he
would receive about $1,000. When he
reads before ono of the clubs he gets
from 500 to $500. Sydney Woollett has
the same repertoire; he. too. is very
busy man.
The demand nowadays is not SO much
for professional readers as for authors
who read from their own works. Cable,
for instance, Is n great success. lie
never gives reading for less than 500.
He is in great demand for young ladies'
schools and scminaries.
Thomas Nelson Page is also a great
platform success; he never goes for less
than 500. Philadelphia Times.

An important point to observe in the
application of lime to land is to havo it
vel, pdlverised so as to be easily spread
and finely diffused through the soil II
must, therefore. advises Country Gentle
man, be Stacked into fine and dry powder
BY applying about onc-third as much
water as there is lime before spreading.
II Il has been air Stacked. it Is thus al.
ready reduced to powder. A good way
70 slake the fresh or stone limo is to place
II in heaps and then cover it thickly with
earth. which gradually reduces 1t to
powder, when it may be spread from the
wagon. 1t is common In some places TO
put 1t when fresh in small heaps over the
Geld, left to slake by rain and air. and
then evenly spread from the heaps. The
quantity TO the acre must vary consider
ably with the condition Of the land. some
needing more than others, and expert
ment is required to determine this point
usually from twenty five to fifty bush
els to the acre. Formerly much larger
quantities were used. and on the other
hand smaller amounts have sometimes
been as successful. The mode we recon-
mend for all special fertilizers Is com-
monty safest-namely. the application TO
small measured areas, to determine the
best course and quantities by actual ex-
periment.

Potato scab,

been put on the scab was very bad
Where the ground had been manured
tho year before, the scab was less, but
bad, but where the rotted sawdust was
put on, the potatoes were just rs clean
as could be, not a particle of scab. II
We will make such experiments. think
we will find them valuable.
Progressive eastern growers are about
agreed that fresh barn yard manure is
prolific of scabby potatoes, and that po-
tatoes grown with special commercial
potato fertilizer are most liable to be free

Monkey DiSCi,,liue.

Few persons ever have a chance to
watch the actions Of monkeys in "a wild
state, and tame ones mimic the life going
on about them To such degree that we
can never feel sure their actions are not
reflection of our own. Mr.. Gordon
writes of them in India;
They were really very like human be-
ings. was one day watching an old fe-
male who had young one by her side
To whom she was giving small bits of
bread which she had evidently lust re-
ceived from my cook room, and with
which she was regaling herself at the
same time.
Occasionally the little monkey would
endeavor to snatch bit of the bread be-
fore the mother was ready to give it to
him. when she would administer correc-
tion in the shape of a gentle box on the
ear.
She was in the act Of doing this when
one OF my servants happened to come
out. At once her demeanor changed.
She snatcbed the little one to her bosom
with every appearance of maternal so
icitude, and did not put him down
again until the man had retreated.-

North and South Slopea.

There Is wide difference of opinion
as to the best aspect for fruit. Some
contend for northern slopes, some for
southern, and both are right, says n
correspondent in Garden and Forest.
The decision turns upon locality and
varieties of fruit Near large bodies
of water late spring frosts seldom
do damage. Spring comes ON more
gradually, evenly, and plants do not
start so early. In such localities south
crn slopes are usually preferable. But
away from such bodies of water spring
temperatures are commonly more flnctu-
ating and plants start relatively earlier.
Here northern slopes are usually best, as
blossoming is retarded. This is particu-
larly the case with early blooming varie.
ties. often hear people remark that in
certain years the only peaches they had
were on trees standing on the north side
Of a building. The reason is that these
trees had blossomed late and had es-
capped late frosts. In many localities
late frosts are more 10 be dreaded than
severe winters, and the only successful
practice comes from close study of ones
individual conditions.

Ihave had many people ask me for a
remedy for the ills which usually visit
tho human body in the spring, causing
the well known complaint of spring
fever" My experience has been that the
best cure for this malady is plenty Of
hcalthful and inviSorating outdoor exer-
else. The most pleasant of these is horse
back riding. When one is on trotting
horse, which ! prefer. every muscle is
brought into play and exercised. There
are other outdoor amusemcnts which are
equally beneficial There is one pre-
valent form OF pastime which consider
injurious. and that is bicycling. When
one is astrde wheel he is bent forward,
and, am convinced, is placed in posi-
ton which has tendency to contract
the chest, This is, of course, exactly the
opposite effect to be desired or expected
from outdoor amusements. st. Louis

YOUNG TURKEYS.


Special Dangers To 1ss Guarded Against
In Raising These Fowls.
Young turkeys are subject to two spe-
ciaI dangers--tDa a peculiar susceptibility
to wet and lin less dcgree) TO cold. and
(2) a great liability TO diarrhea. For the
first week, American Poultry Journal
says. the young bird should have little
beyond hard boiled egg minced up with
dandclion leaves, or n little bread crumb
may be added. All through dandelion
leaves make far the best green food, but
II they cannot be had. chopped boiled
nettles or onions chopped fine are the
next best. Az they get older, they are
fed on good barley meal or oatmeal. and
may also have almost nd libitum fresh
curd squeezed dry from the whey, but
butternlk is about US likely TO cause
trouble as anything can be.
The egg for week Is of very great
importance, 10 prevent slight tendency
To diarrhea from tho first which often
sets in, and gets worse. and carries them
oil later on. While young turkeys re-
quire the utmost care when very young,
and should be confined for awhile, let II
be known that they will not thrive un-
less they have the benefit of range as
they become larger They are active
foragers, and must have a chance to
exercise that popularity, but in so doing
they will pick up tho greater part Of
their food. Those who grow tobacco
should always keep n flock of turkeys,
as they arc very destructive TO the large
green worms that do SO much damage 10
that crop. II allowed n range and fed
on grain mt night, they can easily be
taught TO come up at regular hours.

The following rules. IL systematically
carried out, will insure successful poul-
try raising:
In buying fowls or eggs go to some
Trustworthy breeder who has his reputa-
ton ut stake. Culls arc not cheap at any
price.
DO not breed too many kinds Of fowls
ut the came time. Until your experience
and accommodations warrant il conline
yourselves to one or two well known va
rietics
Introduce new blood into your stock
every year or so, by either buying a
cockerel or setting Of eggs from some re-
liable breeder.
LIE, old and young birds have as wide
q range as possible. and do not crowd too
many in house. II you do you will
have disease.
Construct your house good and warm,
so IA to ave old damp floors and afford %
flood Of sunshine. Sunshine is better
than medicine. Give plenty Of fresh air
Mt all times. Above all things keep the
! house clean.
Clean roosts and bottom of laying
nests, and whitewash often enough to
keep all sweet and clean.
Provide busting and scratching place
where you can bury wheat and corn and
thus induce the fowls To take the need
| ful exercise.
Give plenty Of fresh water daily, and
| never allow the fowls to go thirsty.
Feed them Systematically twice n day;
scatter the food 80 they cant eat too fast
or without proper exercise, Do not feed
more than they will eat up clean, or they
will get tired of that kiul of feed.
Give them n variety of both dry and
cooked feed, u mixture Of cooked meat
and vegetables is an excellent thing for
their morning meal
Give soft feed in the morning and the
whole grain at night, except little
wheat or cracked corn placed in the
scratching places to give them exercise
during the day.

The teacher who can extract an an
swcr from Il dullard and draw dolt
from the ounces block into the scholars
scat has the rarest gift for his vocation.
Mr.. J. I, TrowhridGe, in an essay on
"Tho American Boy" published in The
North American Review, tells the story
of schoolmistress' success in drawing
out the latent genius of an intractable
pupil
Nobody had been able to do anything
with him Punishment had no effect
appeals 10 his pride and notes to his
mother were unavailmg. The teacher
studied tho boy, watching him closely
that she might find the key to his char
acter.
One day she saw him catch fly. His
dull countenance lighted up, while with
the keenest interest lie for fifteen min
utes examined the insect. The teacher
had discovered one road to the boys
mind.
Boys" said she not long after, "what
can you tell me about fliesi'
The brightest boys could tell very lit
tie. TLon she turned TO the dolt, and
saw that, for the first time, his enthusi.
asm was kindled by something going on
in school He forgot his indifference,
and became eloquent in describing the
wings, feet, eyes, head and habits of the
fly. Both teacher and scholars were
astonishcd
The teacher saw The ben, of his genius
and put boo.,s of natural history into his
hands, Then she led him by degrees to
see the necessity of preparing himself
for his favorite pursuit by learning some
thing OF grammar, geography and mathe-
matics. The Ounce of the school be-
came one OF the best scholars, and in
later years an eminent naturalist.

of love had animated her with new life
All day she humrned under her breath:
Just . liftie ainshine
just iit,ie rain;
Just iitte hnppinezs,
Just little pain.
At last, one night just before the fair
closed, Buttons" mustered up enough
courage To ask N ne could accompany
her home. Ills excuse was that the night
was wet and she had no umbrella, and
she consented, SO shyIy. oh. so shyly, and
suggested that az the fair closed early
they should walk. As they went down
the Bowery with its brilliant shop win
dows and the sidewalks shining in the
light IL was necessary to walk close to-
gether because the crowd was SO great
and the umbrella was small.
II was curious, but neither had eyes
for the dazzling scene along the route
Buttons bcguiled the way with the
story of his life. lie told lier-and she
listened carefully fearful that she might
lose word--how he had come to the
city from Otsego county and was fortu-
nate enough to secure job as black
smith in a railroad car shop. His name
was Tom Murphy. He had a good trade,
and one Of these days he intended to get
married II he found a girl who was will
ling to take a homeIy fellow like him.
Here Mary archly said:
"Why, / don't think you're homely."
Tom gave her hand a squeeze, just a
little one. and then they walked In ST.
lence for awhile and at last arrived In
front of her fathers house.
II can't ask you TO go in," she said. in
deprecating manner, "because it's too
late. But can't you come around some
other nightT
Could hei Could the stars shine!
Could duck swimi Well, he should
rather guess he couldl But there was
little matter he wanted to mention.
Here he became strangely silent, and
held her hand while the rain fell with q
slow drip on the umbrella.
"What is it9 she said, palpitating like
frightened rabbit.
A big lump came up in Toms throat
and mist swan before his eyes. He
turned pale as he placed his hand be-
meath her chin and raised her dropping
head so that he could look into her eyes.
81 was wondering" he continued. In
an unsteady voice, "if you would be
willing to give up selling buttons and
devote your whole time to sewing but
tons on my clothing"
"Oh, Toni" she said, struggling to get
away. But he held her fast and for an
instant the Irish frieze overcoat and the
waterproof were pressed close together
By sturdy blacksmitls arm. A gust Of
wind came around the corner and car.
ried the answer away, but it must have
been favorable to his wishes, for Tom as
tonshed the Italian chestnut vender on
the corner by buying out his whole stock
and otherwise acting like a good natured
lunatic New York Evening Sun.
