The New England Farmer recently
published an instructive table OF the
number. size and productiveDess Of the
farms in twenty-six States. The reve-
lations made by this table are surpris-
ing. The New Jersey farms lead all
the others In the value OF their prod
ucts per acre, 1t beiSlg $l0.26; and the
Dakota farms rank the lowest In that
respect, they yielding an average value
per acre OF $l.58. New York comes
third, and singularly enough, Connect,
icut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts
follow In successive order. But West.
ern farms are so large, and so easily
worked, that the gross results satisfy
their owners hugely.

Health and Strength Rcgainod Amid
Plants and Flowers.
! have ut least three personal ac-
quaintnnces who owe much to old
Dame Nature for renewed youth and
new beauty of face and form gained
by work in the garden. One is u
woman Of ample fortune, who loves
her lawn, with its trees and vines and
flowers as things OF beauty. doubt
II the thought of health occurs to her,
but the effect is patent to all her
friends. Another is lovely little
woman who has been in ill.health for
years. This season, moving TO new
home where friends and acquaint-
ances were scarce, sheer loneliness
drove her to her garden. There the
needs of the growing things appeared
TO her, and day by day her visits were
repeated, until at last all her morn
ing hours were spent among them,
planting, training, wedding, thinning
and digging. The result is Il renewal
Of health and strength unknown be-
fore for years, and new happiness and
greater contentment.
The third is good woman whose
sorrows seemed piled mountains high
through the loss by death within
few months of her husband and child
and Of property as we'll Trained to
no work us girl, she seemed help
less. But her little garden demanded
attention, and her very losses com
pclled her to work with her hands.
Here, too, the soothing balm of pure
air, exercise and occupation worked
its marvels. --Vick's Magazine.

LIE AUSTRIAN COURT.
Substantial Prerequisites Enjoyed by Em-
= peror Francis Joseph's Servants.

substantini PerquisItes Enjoyed by Em-
= pcror Francis Joseph's Servants.
Nothing except the linen. plate,
china and glass is ever served twice at
the court tables; but the full meaning
of this can not well be grasped by any
body who has not seen the system ut
work. Some OF the servants have AS
their perqnisites the bottles which
have come up TO the dining-room but
have not been uncorked; others, the
uncorked bottles; and others again the
wine that remains In the glasses.
Therefore it Is the interest OF one set
OF servants to keep the glasses full; OF
another set TO draw as many corks as
possible while parting with MS little
wine as they can: and Of third set to
draw corks sparingly. The result is
that often n great deal OF unseemly
whispering and nudging goes on Mt the
sideboards. As regards the food, there
are different orders OF claimants for
perquisites; one man having vested
interest In the joints, another in the
poultry, n third in the sweet dishes, and
30 on. Then there are the men to whom
wax candles belong, and these natur-
ally make arush to blow out the candles
the moment the last guest has walked
out Of tho room. Altogether. this sys-
tenn Of perquisites causes the imperial
banquets 10 be served in double-quick
time, 40 that the longest of them sci
dom lasts beyond three-quarters OF an
hour The Emperor's dining hour is
five o'clock; but it is etiquette for the
guests TO arrive clear half hour be
forehand. After Dime, coffee and ci-
gars are served ina smoking-room; the
Emperor fingers about quarter Of an
hour and theguests separate soon after
$3.50. But another curious result OF the
perquisite system is this-that the
court servants make open traffic on the
imperial leavfngs. Incredible as it
may sound, there is u basement corri-
dor in the palace, which is like ba-
zar full OF shops Here not only the
keepers OF small hotels and restaurants
but the cooks ofmany ladies belonging
TO the second-class official world come
to buy cold meats, pastry, sweetmeats,
wines and candles. There is one sort
OF TolSay which can only be bought
from the court servants, as none is
made except for the Emperor. 1t is
TO be presumed, however, that the un-
corked bottles ofchampagne and other
fine wines are generally sold by the
dozen, and they must form Il substan-
tial perquisite. Chambers journal.

1t is in Sophocles that we strike the
modern spirit Of the ancient classics.
1t is strange, yet true, that stu
dents will stumble on through the
Greek authors during four, five or six
years, cropping about for something
tangible, and coming finally to Sopho-
cles or Eulipides at the very end Of
their course will, in n month, have
their eyes opened TO the fact that the
Greeks were really men Of flesh and
blood, with passions good and bad, with
aspirations high and, noble, with sins
