The Worlds Oldest R0sebush.

The oldest rosebusi in the world is at
Hildershim, an old town in Hanover,
capital of a Prussian administrative dis
trict. 1t was planted more than 1OOJ
years ago by Charlemagne, in commemo-
ration of visit made him by thc An
bassador of the Caliph Haroul-al- Raschid
of ''Arabian Nights" fame. After it
had become tlourishing vine cathedral
was built over it, the date of building
being doubtful. 1t is known, however,
that coffin shaped vault was huilt
around its sacred roots i'll tho year SIS,
the vault and bush surviving fire which
destroyed the cathedral in 1146. The
bush is now said to be twenty-slx feet
high, and to cover thirty-two feet of the
wall. The stem, after 1000 years
growth, is only two inches in diameter.

Valuable Mineral Discovery.

An important deposit of that rare metal
known as vanadium has been found in
the Province of Mendoza, Argentine
Republic. This metal is one Of the rarest
and most valuable known and is used for
setting dyes in silks, ribbons, hosiery
and other fine goods. The principal
source of supply until recently has been
a small deposit in the Ural Mountains,
and it has been held as high as $500
per ounce. This newly-discovered de-
posit in Mendoza will therefore be re-
cognized as of great importance. Chi.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
DO NOT KEEP THE PIANO TOO DRY.


A piano tuner tells that the instrument
suffers from too great drgness. This will
be new to many who have needed too
well the oft-repeatea advice not to let
the piano become damp. The following
is the remedy offered: Keep growing
plant in the room, and so long as your
plant thrives your piano ought to, or
else there is something wrong with it.
Just try it and see how much more water
you will have to put in the flower pot in
the room where your piano is than you
use in any other room. Sone people
keep vase or urn with sopping wet
sponge near or under the piano, and
keep it moistened, just as cigar dealer
keeps his stock. They keep this up all
the time the fires are on.-Brooklyn
Citizen.

wheat were sown. There was much in.
Jury from winter-killing, but the plants
injured were those where no peas had
been powcd in. The stronger plant:
where the pea vines were did not yield
to bad weather.
The fertilizers used were kainit, acid
phosphate, cotton seed meal, each 300
pounds per acre, and combination ol
800 pounds, consisting OF IFS pounds
acid phosphate, S7b pounds cotton-seed
meal and 37t pounds kainit, and an
other combination of double the strength
of the last named. Similar plats with
the same fertilizers were sown where no
pea vines were plowed under.
The seven acres without pea vines had
an average yield per acre of four bushels
forty-four pounds, and the seven acres
with the pea vines plowed in had an
average yield of twenty bushels fifty-6ve
pounds of wheat, with nearly corre-
spending increase in amount of straw.
Where no fertilizers were used, excepting
the pea vines, there was in 1SSS-S9 a
gain of about ten bushels per acre over
the unfertilized plot without the green
manuring, and in 1ss9-9o the gain upon
two plats was nearly the same.
The best results were from the use of
300 pounds of acid phosphate with the
pea vines plowed in. Of the compound
mixtures of kainit, acid phosphate and
cotton-seed meal, the double strength
made but o slight gain over the other
where the pea vines were put, but de-
cided increase where no pea vines were.
The cost Of the acid phosphate was but
little more than the kainit, and less than
the cotton-seed meal or the 300-pound
mixture which produced but little
less.
They make the following deductions:
Average increased yield of wheat due Ito
pea vines in 1889, ten bushels one
pound. Average increase due to pea
vines il 1890, sixteen bushels eleven
pounds. Acid phosphate showed better
results with or without the pea vines
than any other fertilizer tried. To OBJ.
tain the same results upon wheat in New
England or the Middle States peas
should be sown early in the spring and
plowed under in July. There are
probably other crops that will do as well
here as the pea vines, Of which clover is
the most used. Cultioator.

THE WEIGHT OF ROOTS.

The weight of bushel of roots varies
in different localities. Potatoes are
usually estimated at sixty pounds to the
bushel, and this weight is commonly ac-
cepted as that of all other kinds or roots.
1t is difficult matter to get as accurate
measure of the various roots, on account
of the shapes that are so irregular, and
thus it would be a convenience to have
some standard to follow. AS there is
none that is at all certain, it is the best
way to sell them by weight.-Neu York

TO GET RID. OF MoLEs IN THE GARDEN

TO GET RID. OF MoLEs IN THE GARDEN.
Moles are great nuisance in the gar
den, and it is desirable to rid the garden
of them. 1t is we'll known that the prin-
cipal food of moles is grubs and other
:;asects of the soil, and they do not at
tempt to eat seeds of any kind so long as
they are hard, but writer in the Ameri-
can Garde. has learned from experience
that if grains of corn Are soaked in
"Fowler's solution of arsenic" (kept in
any drug store) until they become soft
and then dropped in the "mole runs the
moles will suck it sufficiently to produce
death.
There are other methods of exterminat-
ing them, however. A large.mouthed
jar placed in the run or cows horn are
frequently used with success in catching
them.
A dead-fall with sharpened spikes is
used also with successful results.

THE Origin of Strikes" will make an inter-
esting book when some man with lots of cour.
age and industry undertakes to write it, and
perhaps one of his particular gems would be
the strike over O funeral which occurred in
Pittsburg last week. Several men were fatally
injured in an accident at the Homestead steel
works, and when the third man died last Tues
until after the funeral The superintendent
objected because the cupolas were full of molten
metal and the suspension of work would entail
heavy loss. But the men insisted quit right
away, and were promptly discharged. Then
all the other workmen promptly went out on
strike and the bosses had to turn to and run out
the metal Long conferences ensued and re-
suited in a compromise by which the men re-
turned to work condition that 20 per cent
should be allowed to attend the funeral.

SINGING SHAD,
Queer Fish That Are Said to Serenade
Residents of Cape May.

Queer Fish That Are Said to serenade
Residents of Cape May.
From the Baltimore american.
The singing shad has been seen and heard
in lower Delaware bay this spring. Ithasn't
been seen in large quantities, of course, for
the appearance of this odd fish in these
waters is rare occurrence. But few of the
singing shad have enchanted the fishermen
since the season began. They come from
the south, and only when the wind has died
down and the water is quiet. They come in
schools, emitting musical notes as they
swim along. The sounds they make are
soft and something like those Of an eloian
harp. 1t is hard to express, or rather imi-
tate on paper the melody they sing. 1t
runs something like this: ''Wee no, he hi do
de; weeho do di dunn"
This sound cannot be made with any
effect except when the shad travel in
schools The singing of single shad is too
feeble to be heard above the ripple of the
water This year has bsen the first, prob
ably for a decade. that the singing shad
has favored the fisherman OK Delaware bay.
Capt Arnold, one of the Oldest and most
truthful of South Jersey fishermen, said the
other day that he had heard the singing
shad a number of times iii his piscatorial
career. They are rare, of course, so
far north as this. Hven when they
do come only old fishers are apt
to hear and distinguish them.
We know about them and are
more or less on the lookout for their occa-
sional arrival They really belong off the
coast of Bolivia aud Chile. There they are
quite common. All sorts of fairy tales are
narrated about them by South American
fishermen. The singing shsd also breed III
Japanese waters. TIE fishermen Of japan
are delighted when tnoY strike school of
singing shad. They follow them up rever-
emily, because they believe the fish are IN
spired. They throw them food and never
catch or eat them"
The singing shad is different from the
common-back OF Toe shad. IL is not SO
large and there is a slight difference IN the
formation OF the mouth. Only an expert
fisherman can tell when he has caught one
OF the finny song.sterA Old fishermen re-
gard the musical shad az prizes and do not
