The Blind Love Games.

There are many games that the blind
take great pleasure in playing. One of
these is checkers. Instead of fiat men
they use pegs, the board being per-
forated with holes in the corners of the
squares, into which the pegs are put.
Dominoes is another favorite game with
the blind. The spots in the dominoes
are sunken so that the number is de
termined instantly by the touch.
We do not encourage card playing,
writes teacher of the blind, and sup
pose that is why most of the boys play
so we'll it being understood that a boy
learns most thoroughly what he is not
wanted to learn. The cards are pre-
pared by perforating them with a fine
needle, the name of the suit being in
dicated by punctures in one corner and
the number in another. Our little girls
play with their dolls and take as much
delight in dressing them as other little
girls could possibly do One day last
year we had a photographer take pic
lures in groups of the different classes
and their teachers. When we were
ready to take the primary class there
was general break for their dolls, and
not one of them would consent to be
taken until she had her dollie properly
posed in her arms.

WHAT FRrIrs WITHDRAW.

Following may be seen the amount Of
soil by certain fruit crops each year
these being, according to all experience,
the only ones of which the replacement
need be ordinarily considered in fertiliza-
ton. These amounts are expressed with
reference to 1000 pounds of fruit, from
what, according to our best information,
may be assumed to be "fair crop" per
acre. The figures represent pounds and
fractions of pound;
Grapes-potash, so; phosphoric acid,
l. 81; nitrogen, 1,70.
Pears--potash, Is; phosphoric acid,
0.5; nitrogen, O6.
Apples-potash, 0. so; phosphoric acid
O.3; nitrogen, 06.
Peaches-potash, LIS; phosphoric
acid, O.47; nitrogen, Al
Plums- potash, II; phosphoric acid,
GA; nitrogen, AZ.
1t will be seen that for equal weights
of these fruits, grapes take from the soil
by far the largest amount of mineral mat
ter, of which nearly five-ninthsi is potash;
they also carry off the largest amount of
phosphoric acid. For seedless grapes the
latter item would, however, be consider
ably smaller. Pears come next as regards
total mineral matter, but draw quite
lightly on nitrogen. Peaches come next
to pears. Plums Including prunes) are
conspicuous chiefly for their heavy
draught on the nitrogen of the soil,
The difference between apples and
pears in respect to soil exhaustion for an
equal weight of fruit is quite striking,
the amount of potash in apples being less
than half, the phosphoric acid only
trile over half as much as in the pear. -

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Strive to have the best; there is the:
most profit in it.
Corn is the great American crop. AL,
ways grow patch.
Pure water, pure air and clean food
make a good trinity.
Have the soil of the garden well loos,.
ened and pulverized.
The land occupied by fences is as val,
liable as that adjoining
True economy in feeding does not
mean stinting the ration.
When more of our butter and cheese
is made by women it will be of better
quality.
Young leaves for some reason are less
liable to injury from spraying than the
older ones. ,
Lime added to the arsenites for the
purpose of spraying fruit trees tends to
prevent injury to the foliage.
Size and condition count for more in,
market than any particular shade or
color, especially vita young poultry.
A diversity OF crops distributes work,
receipts, and expenses more evenly
through the year and through the years
The best breed of geese for feathers is
the Embder, They are entirely white.
and white geese feathers bring the best
prices.
Ducks intended for market should be
Matched out early ana be crowded from
the start; those intended for breeding
can be Matched later.
Ducks do not have the cholera, Group
or gapes, and hawks do not bother them; ;
they will lay more eggs and the eggs
will hatch better than hen eggs.
The best bred animals are the most
costly, but they bring the best prices
when stock is to be sold. Quality is
factor that cannot be overlooked
Such plants as okra, satisfy, endive,
kohl-rabi, and dandelon are seldom cul-
tivated in the garden, yet they are among
the best of the list of vegetables.
Cows are like other animals, and even
men and women. They need fresh air,
sunlight and eXer3lse-not horse racing
exercise, but COW exercise, in walking
around.
A farm paper says: "We can never
hope for the blessing of uniformly good
roads throughout the country until the
the care of them is delegated to skillful
and competent hands"
Melons should not be. overlooked.
Make the hills as rich as possible, using
well-rotted manure. Plant the seed
about half an inch deep, six in ill,
and thin out when the plants are up to
two in a hill.
The shorter the time between the COW
and the counter, the better the price of
butter if it is good. Ripening and
rotting begin and end with the same let
tiers, but there is a world of difference
between the twc.

Census CuriositIes.

Some amusing curiosities are collected
in an article in the National Review on
"The Census of the Century," 1t is
said that the Duke of Wellington. then
eighty-two years of age, returned him
self as deaf-a touching trait of his
great truthfulness, though, of course,
deafness, as an infirmity of old age, did
not come within the scope of census
inquiries. On the other hand, clergy
men refused to return the schedule to
the parish clerk, who was the enumera-
tor, and sent it direct to the central
office, alleging that if he had done
otherwise his wifes age would have be
come a topic of gossip in the beer shops
of the village. In Devonshire middle
aged man refused to make out his
schedule, saying that he did not either
know his name or his place of birth,
and he would not injure himself by
making a false entry An 'author"
added to his return note stating that
his wife said he was "both idiot and
lunatic."

A New Invention.

A novel and ingenious invention in
optical telegraphy is being used expert
mentally in the Danish marine. The
apparatus is intended to render prae-
ticable method Of telegraphing direct
by light in Morse signals. 1t depends
for its action upon the fact that white
light consisting Of the colors Of the
rainbow can be cut up by prisms in a
lantern into these colors, forming the
well known bands of the spectrum. BY
a suitable and carefully arranged system
of screens and prisms the luminous
spectrum bands can be given certain
form, which may be made to correspond
with the long and short dashes Of the
Morse code. A quick and certain sys
tenn of night communication between
different vessels on one hand and be-
tween ships and the shore on the other
has long been needed. and the spectre
lantern bids fair to meet the want.

RAISING COLTS.

The best results in raising colts are
obtained where the mare is given the
liberty CT pasture and comfortable
shed with Il sufficient allowance of feed
to keep her IN a good, healthy condition
If there is any inducement to raising
colts, it certainly is in the money that
can be made out of the business. Then
pursue the work in a way that will guar
antee the best results in money gain
Take no risks that can be avoided.
Do not try to save a dollar in feed at
the expense of $40 in the growth of a
colt; do not turn the mare out near foal-
ing time in field or lot where she can
get into creek or slough. There are
horse owners WAC talk horse fuently,
drive good teams, pay high prices for
stallion service, yet they are always re-
porting accidents which clearly point
out neglect and carelessness in the little
details in the management or care of the
mare.
FOO much care cannot be given the
brood mares just now.-F5pBa, FieH and

One Thing Wanting.

Doctor Haldane was a most estimable
man, possessed of a pleasing person
and handsome competency, but he
was well advanced in life before he could
make up his mind to marry. He would
fain have a wife, but he was too bashfui
to seek one.
Finally, however he fitted up his
house afresh, and rumor reported that
he was about to change his state. The
popular voice was right, for on GER
tain day the good doctor was seen at the
house Of a certain lady for whom he
had been long supposed to entertain a
liking; he wore new coat, and, IN
great agitation, was wiping his head
with snow-white pocket handkerchief
when the door was opened.
As soon as he was shown in, and saw
his hostess calmly knitting, his courage
oozed out at the tips Of his fingers, and
he sat down on the edge of chair IN
such state OF confusion as to arouse
the compassion of his friend.
"Weel, DOCTOR" she said, endeavor-
ing to put him at ease, "ha'e We got
through a your papering and painting
YETI"
A clearing of the throat, preparatory
to speech, but not word uttered.
Il am told that your new carpets are

A further choking, and a vigorous
effort to speak, terminating in a miser-
able silence.
"They say the pattern of the dining
room chairs is something out of the
way. In short, that everything about
the house is perfect"
Here was an opportunity too good to
be overlooked. The doctor advanced
his chair, raised his eyes furtively TO
ner face, and with an infection which
no ear but one wilfully deaf could have
misinterpreted.

''And what can that be2" asked the

Utterly overwhelmed by her blindness
to his meaning, the poor man beat a

tones of blighted hope, gasped out his
declaration
"Eh, dear, eli! Well, I'm sure! The

Why Solid Iron Floats on Molten Iron.

When piece of solid iron is thrown
into pot of molten iron or steel the
solid metal at first sinks, which shows
that its volume is less than the melted
metal. But soon the solid piece becomes
heated which causes it to expand, its
volume is increased, and it rises and
floats on the surface of the molten mass.
The action is the same both with iron
and steel, Mr.. Wrightson said;
The experiment was frequently
made by throwing piece of iron into
melted steel They could see it 90 down,
and might think that 1t was on account
Of the impetus which the IRON had at
tanned in falling that height, but as a
matter of fact if the iron we're put upon
fork and lowered, it would go down :;
but In the course of Il few seconds it came
lp again, and kept on expanding until
the piece OF lion was considerable dis
lance above the surface of the metal.
Then it decreased in volume, and of
course became of the same volume as the
molten metal which it joined. Any one
could see by the distance that the piece
Of iron went above the surface that it
was of considerable less density thai the
molten metal. '-lScieAtifc american.
