TRACKING THE WEST INDIAN CYCLONE TO ITS
LAIR.-Gen. Greedy, chief signal officer, is per-
fecting arrangements through the Secretary of
State whereby the earliest information practi-
cable will be obtained regarding West Indian
cyclones. Auxiliary stations of observations
will be established at Saint Thomas, Kingston
and Santiago de Cuba, from where two obser-
vations daily during the hurricane season will
bo obtained by telegraph. Gen. Greedy has
also arranged through Prof. Carpmael of the
Canadian meteorological bureau for regular
reports from Bermuda over the cable now be-
ing laid between Halifax and Bermuda. The
important benefits which will result to the
maritime interests of the United States during
the hurricane season from this arrangement
are evident and this long hoped-for service
will be highly appreciated.

During certain hours of the day in the
American quarter cotton is the only subject
spoken of; the pavements of all the prnci-

are crowded with spectators of all national

DAIRY JOTTINGS,

Dairy salt stored in the vicinity of
Goldfish or kerosene, or turpentine, is apt
to contract flavors that injure the butter
in which it is used.
Put white butter and yellow butter

one Is artificially colored, and he will

consumer being deceived. He is after

The Vermont Chronicle speaks of a
dairyman who makes 30-cent butter for

ON THE wharf.

Turning to the wharyes and storehouses,
the negroes who handle the crop make pc
culiar and picturesque sight to the unaccus-
toned stranger. Hundreds of them swarm
about the ships and form another of the in
Vulnerable pictures that can only be seen in
the Crescent City. This negro is always
good humored, even when he grumbles with
an uncouth smile. and goes to his work with
q kind of concentrated effort that does won
ders in the way of moving the heavy bales
but as soon as the task is done he relapses
into his favorite condition of SLOUGH. The
sharp voices of the shippers, the harsh orders
of the masters of gangs, and the CHEEKY and
mirth provoking responses of the rous:-
abouts, mingled with the noise of escaping
steam, the ringing of countless bells, and the
rumbling and shrieking of drays and wagons,
carts and steam cars, can not smother the jo-
cund notes of the negroes song. his arms
and limbs and head all keeping time to the
harmony, even as he trundles the heavy
bales along the narrow gangplank.
But we will have to visit some of the old
ruins before we bid adieu to the old city.

walls could tell. If they had the gift of

FASHIONABLE SOCIETY.

The trying ordeals which fashionable soci-
ETY. imposes on its devotees are enough to
severely test the physical strength and en-
durance Of the most robust. Irregular and
late hours, over-rich and indigestible food,
late suppers, the fatigue of the ballroom,
tho bad air Of the lly-ventilated, over,
crowded theatre, are each, in themselves,
sufficient to upset the system and ruin the
health Of the delicate and sensitive. Com
bined, they can hardly fail, if persisted in,
to seriously impair the health Of the hardi-
est. Ladies generally possess less powers of
endurance than their male consorts, and so
the sooner succumb to these deleterious in
fuences They become pale, haggard and
debiitated, and constantly experience q

When Women should Marry.

Probably the best time for the average
woman to marry would be any age be-
tween "a and So. 1t is not said that no
woman should marry earlier or later than
either of these ages; but youth and health
and vigor are ordinarily at their highest
perfection between these two periods.
Early marriages are seldom desirable for
girls, and that for many reasons. The
brain ia immature, the reason is feeble,
and the character is uniformed. The con.
sideration which would prompt girl to
marry at II would, in many cases, have
little weight with her at "a. At II she is
q child, at 25 woman.
Where a girl has intelligent parents,
the seven years between seventeen and
twenty -four are the period when mind
and body are most amenable to wise dis
cipline, and best repay the thought and
toll devoted to their development. Before
II few girls have learned to understand
what life is, what dicipline is, what duty
Is. They cannot value what is best either

too. that BY virtue Of this comparative
privacy women are not so liable a. men
to be putting tobacco smoke into the
noses and mouths of those unfortunate
wights who will not themselves use the
solace.
8. Consider, too, the effect on tho
home! What husband would not be
charmed if his wife could only lay aside
her prejudices and participate IN his
pleasure! And would not his temptation
TO resort for recreation to the club house
or the saloon be greatly lessened by this
means? Might it not add fresh charm
to the atmosphere of the fresh. pure

wife could come to greet HIM having her
garments filed with the fragrance Of his
hvorits cigar, if she could reciprocate
his tobocco- scented kiss, and if she could

him to smother in smoke the cares of .
weary day? Again, in reference to the
training Of the sons, the prejudice against
tobacco on the part of many women is
frequently fruitful source of family
disquietude. The mother thinks smok-
ing IN annoying, wasteful, injurious
habit, and would like to have her boys
ahstain from it, but papa smokes" is the
hTefutable answer to any suggestion
which she may venture to make that il
would be well for them to avoid the
practice. If mamma smoked too, that
hose would not be divided against it
self, but would stand firm for tobacco.
It is not necessary to multiply such il
lustrations, for it is well known that
many heads of families, on other points
united, are Numerically opposed on the
tobacco question, and the disturbances
of family harmony and happiness which
spring directly and indirectly from this
single source are innumerable. The rem
edy seems to be as easy as the fact is
frequent. Let all wives of smokers be-
come smokers themselves. If the hus-
band has chosed the course which is the
most pleasant, wisest, and best, do not
wisdom and duty alike dictate that the
wife should pursue it also?

Sod Ground for Potatoes.

A decomposing sod makes the best bed
for growing potatoes l have ever tried !;
but to succeed well it must be properly
prepared. The grass should be suffered
to grow till about the first of June, or if
little later at the north it is still early
enough for planting to insure a good
crop. Now take pillow with a wide,
flat share, quite sharp at the edge. with
q sharp coulter on the end. or, in the alb
sence of this fasten coulter to the beam.
With such a pillow sod can be turned fiat
over about one foot wide. This is abso-
lutely necessary in order TO cover the
grass completely and insure its gradual
decomposition with the turf through the
season, to furnish nutriment for the
growing crop The turned sod ought to
to be three or four inches thick. If thin
ner than this it does not protect well
from drought, and if thicker it does
not decompose as thoroughly as is ne
cessary.
Holes for planting may be cut open
with hoe blade, about three inches
wide and as many deep, and six inches
apart where every third furrow joins its
edge to fourth, and the seed be planted
in these holes This makes the rows
three feet apart Do not disturb the sod
in endeavoring to hill these rows, for a
fiat cultivation is best. and SO few weeds
will grow on the surface that it will not
be necessary to pillow it, which if done,
will injuriously disturb the sod. All
that is necessary is, when the potato
vines have grown up two to three inches,
run a broad, sloping tooth harrow over
the ground, and it will effectually de-
stroy all weeds and stir the surface
enough to keep it mellow.
Thus treated, soil of moderate fer
tility will produce good crop, but if it
is so poor as 10 require fertilizing, do not
spread stable manure or putrescent COM
post on top of the sod and plow it in. as
some recommend, for if the growing
tubers touch this-as they must it en-
dangers their rotting. and in any event
makes them less mealy, and injuries their
taste. If such manure is used it should
be spread on the ground after being well
narrowed between the rows. 1t will
then operate as beneficial mulch dur
ing hot weather, and as rain dissolves
the salts, the liquid will he carried down
through the turf to benefit the crop. The
best thing to use is the potato fertilizer,
applied on the bottom Of the furrow as
fast az the sod is turned up. and let this
cover it. Some recommend spreading
this fertilizer broadcast over the ground
after the potatoes are planted, and har
rowing it well in. I have tried this
method of application, and found little
benefit from it. If a moderate amount
of rain falls during the summer the turf
will get well rotted by autumn, and the
soil be in admirable filth for a wheat
crop, or in spring for any other crop the
farmer may wish to cuItivate.-[A. B.
