Gardening in China.

The following description of the
manner in which floating fields and
gardens are formed in China was con
densed from an article by DIR. Mae
gowan, which originally appeared in
the CHINA RerieW: in the month of
April bamboo raft, ten or twelve feet
long and about half as broad, is pre-
pared. The poles are dashed together
with interstices of an inch between
each. Over this a layer of straw an
inch thick is spread, and then a coat
ing two inches thick of adhesive mud
taken from the bottom of canal or
pond, which receives the seed. The
raft is mOored to the bank in still
water. and requires no further atten-
ton. The straw soon gives way and
the soil also. the roots drawing support
from the water alone. In about TWEEN
the creeper IpOnpc reptdnSl, and its
stems and roots are gathered for cook
ing. In autumn its small, white petals
and yellow stamens, nesting among
the round leaves, present very pretty
appearance. In some places marshv
land is protitablv cultivated in this
manner. Besides these floating vege-
table gardens, there are also floating
rice fields. Upon RATS constructed as
above, weeds and adherent mud We're
placed as flooring, and when the-rice
shoots We're ready for transplanting
they were placed in the floating soil,
which, being adhesive and held in
place by weed roots, the plants were
maintained in position throughout the
season. The rice thus planted ripened
in from sixty to seventy, IN place of
100. days. The RATS are cabled to the
shore, floating on lakes, pools, or slug
giSh streams These floating fields
served to avert famine,, whether by
drought or flood. When other fields
were submerged and their crops rotten,
these tioated and tiourished; and when
a drought prevailed they subsidized with
the falling water. ard while the soil
around was arid, advanced to ma
turltV.

The Odor of Old Books.

London Letter To Chicago News.
One OF the ASSISTANTS of the British
Museum tells me that visitors to that
institution frequently have hard time
getting ''accllmated" to the place. An
honr spent in the rooms invariably gives
the visitor (for the first time) head
ache. Sometimes it is only after repeat
ed visits that one is able to indulge his
researches without carrying away Ii
headache with him. Women seem TO
he particularly sensitive to this curious
maady, which is said to arise from the
peculiar odor created by the storage Of
go many books. You can get some idea
of what this odor is by going to your
book case, that has been closed for TWEEN
ty-tour hours, and opening one of the
doors; Immediately your olfactories will
be greeted by the mustiest fragrance
Imaginable. Bibliomanacs profess 70
love this odor, and many declare that
they cannot value book unless it mas
about it that unmistakable and inerad-
icable smell which infects a volume
when once it has crossed the sea in the
hold OF q vessel.

The Card Craze in Washington.

From Washington Letter.
Five hundred thousand visiting cards
have been engraved in Washington this
season. One stationery firm tells me
that it has turned out 800 900 in the last
two months, and the money spent here
on pastetoard during q season amounts
to tens of Thousands of dollars. The
most ordinary card costs cent apiece
alter the plate is made, and some of the
dinner invitations sent out cost $40 a
dozen. A prominent item on the ex-
pense account of a Washington belle is
her engraving and painting, and society
ladies who give dinners spend at times
hundreds of dollars upon the stationery
for a feast. Mrs. Leland Stan ford lately
paid $50 for fifty cards to be used rs me-
nus for one of her big dinners. The map
OF the United States was stamped in sill
yer on the cards, and the drawing and
engraving were exquisite. At the dim
ner which Gen. Breckenridge gave, a
week or so ago, the cards cost 81 apiece,
and Mrs. Justice Blatchford gave not
long ago a luncheon, the cards tor
which were carved by hand at cost of
SlSa dozen. No one thinks of giving
big dinner without something fancy in
the way Of cards, and a great many of
the menus are hand-painted. Some OF
the cards are in raised silver and gold.
They look rs though the silver and
gold had been melted and poured into
letters on the cards. They cost - cents
apiece. Others are drawn in black, and
it is quite the thing to make the name

ty that it may be carried away as SOU

From Scrihner.

Make the most of the spring. I, is a
trial oftentimes. 1t makes heavy the
heads of men, and pains them in the
small of their backs, but that is precise
ly because they neglect it and take no
pains to accommodate themselves to its
requirements. For its spirit is exacting
in proportion to its value. 1t is the sea
son of moods. of introspection, retro
spection, meditation, procrastination,
forecasts; of waiting around for things
to begin; of catching the germs of en-
terprises to be Matched during the sum
mer, and launched into activity Wien
the energies recur in the fall. 1t is a
season that men are too much inclined
to crowd, and it avenges itself on them
for their unwisdom. Do not hurry it
Give it time to work itself out in you
Dawdle little. If you cannot get into
the woods, get into the parks; and when
you cannot get to the parks. saunter on
the avenues, and stop long before the
tlOwer-shop windows. Go to meet the
spring if you can.

THE WOODLAND RILL.
BY ARTHUR L. SMITH.

We wander down the aisles of pine,
And turn the brow OF the hill,
AID there within the wooded vale
Swift flows the woodland rill.
Its banks are lined with brier and vine,
And graceful arching trees,
Whose sun-kissed leaves and cooling shade
Invite the summer breeze.
At early morn, when the bright sun
Rounds slowly into sight,
And floods the woods and wales around
With rich, golden light,
Tie timid partridge and her brood
Fer come to take their fill
From this sweet fountain, crystal clear,
This little woodland rill.
We stoop and quench our thirst from where
The waters slowly run.
And where they form little pool
Sheltered from the sun.
We prize this gift that Nature gives,
These waters cool AID clear,
Which leap and sparkle through the vale
The whole Of the long year.
Pure as the tear which sorrow draws
From the eyes hidden we'll,
Pure as the dew of heaven caught
In the modest lilys bell,
And purer than the rain which clouds
Scatter DER vale and hill
Are the laughing. sparkling waters OF
This little woodland rill.
Here lovers meet at nights fond hour,
To hold communion sweet,
Here hunters cool their heated browS
And rest their weary feet,
Here beauty fingers longest. here
Are first seen smiles of spring
And here the joyous binds OF song
Their sweetest anthems sing.
Fair woodland stream q charm thou hast
For all who do thee love!
Round thee. vi IN light aud joyous wing,
FaTcV doth ever move,
We count life dear if wo-can not
From Nature pleasures Gull;
But thou art eia /. for thou dJst breathe
Fer OF the Beautiful.

The Cost Of Tieing Shoestrings.

fifty seconds every time she stoops to re-
tie them. Most of the mIloyes have
two feet, so this entails a loss Of 500

A RUSSIAN peasant in the Simperiool
District had two sons, of whom the
younger was his favorite. The elder,
not liking this, took 81 900 that the old
man had secreted and hid it in a corn

his loss, few days later, the elder son
acknowledged having taken the money
and offered to give it up if the father
would promise thereafter to treat him
the same rs he did the younger son
The father agreed, and both hurried oil
