A Mellow Soil.

Many farmers have not informed themselves on the full value of a fine ly pulverized soil for hood crops, as compared with a surface of clods. It would be we'll worth while for them to try few experiments. An intelligent farmer who cultivates his corn once a week from the time it is up till it is higher than the back of the horse which works the cultivator, estimates the gain at P per cent as the result of this work the soil being dry enough.
 It is important that the operation be repeated many times, as the results vary under changing conditions and circumstances. One of our experi- ment stations tried cultivating corn often. and gave an unfavorahe report. It was found that the weather was un- usually wet for some weeks while the cultivation was continued, and the tread of the horse and the weight of cultivator pressed the earth and made the soil more compact than before Another used the blow, and it went so deep as to tear up a portion of the roots.
 It is well for farmers to see what they are doing. The soil or the clods should be dry enough to crumble to powder, instead of being worked into plastic masses, to bake hard when dry weather comes. Much depends on the kind of implement used, especially with an adhesive soil made up largely of clods and Jumps. The old square harrow with square teeth, aids some what in reducing the cloddy soil through which it passes. but its work in this way is imperfect. A leading object in the operation of the smooth ing harrow, is to cut downwards and chop up and grind up the clods. Other harrows. like the spring-tooth, tear up the earth from a greater depth instead of cutting down, but have less action on clods. The owner should examine and decide what kind of an implements is needed and act accordingly. And # by fcw limited and measured eXperi- ments. he can ascertain what tool, what treatment and what condition of the weather he should use with the best results the information he thus ob- tains from experience may many times repay his care and labor.

The Farmers Accounts.

It is a duty the farmer owes to him. Uelf and to his family to keep his ac- counts systematically, and to properly record all contracts verbal or written. that no room may be left for trouble some disputes and that his house may always be in order, " so that when the summons come his cXecutor will have no difficulty in adjusting his affairs, and making a final settlement of the estate, says the Country Gentleman. Moreover if the wife has kept, a faithful record of receipts and expeud- -tures for butter eggs, poultry, gro ceries, dry goods, etc. she will not find it necessary to call in stranger to act as administrators Her know ledge of business management will enable her to administer her own af- fairs thus saving to herself and her children the fruits of many years toil What boy or girl will not be the more prudent as man or woman, after re- ceiving a careful drill in keeping ac- counts? Will such not enter upon the active duties of life better equipped to battle against adverse circumstancesa No education is practical which does not qualify for the duties of life. No child can receive better legacy than this ability to think. to plan to act for himself in an intelligent man.

THREE CENTURIES OLD.
An Ancient Pear Tree Bloss ominy
 New England.

Passengers to Lawrence via the Essex branch of the Eastern Division of the Boston and Maine Railroad may see. i'm passing the high bridge approaching Danversport, wonderful instance oi the vitality of the pear tree by glancing down into the little hollow on the left.
 The tree is easily distinguished from the fact that it stands separate. protect ed by an encircling fence.
 It was planted by Governor John Endicott the first head of the Mass achusetts Bay Colony, in 163o and stands in the once famous colonial Orchard Farm" within sixty rods. bearing southeast, of the sturdy Gov ernors mansion.
 The old tree. mere shell. with apparently all it's inner integumcnts gone-nothing but the outer bark re- maining. and the substance of that split in twain still stands. and renews again it's vernal beauty in wonderful display of blossms.
 It is undoubtedly the oldest pear tree in New England, and it is exceed ingly doubtful if it has it's rival in the United States. Of all the host of thrifty trees, the pride of the stern old governors heart whose number gave 10 the manor of 300 acres its patro- mimic Orchard Farm" this venera- ble tree alone remains. But though it's blossoms are fair, its fruit is said to be gnarly and bitter. The tree ap- pears to give promise of rounding out three centuries of life.

 1 never meet vice and wickedness in the slums without feeling to pity in- stead of to condemn. They who dwell up there in those dark and cheerless rooms, who feel the bangs of hunger, who find despair crowding every other feeling out of the heart-who some- times raise the sash and leap out and gladly go to death on the fagstones, they can be forgiven for much. The wheeel of Time has ever been turning the wrong way for them.
 It was cnly a drop, only little ray of hope shining through the darkness and gloom of their poverty and despair, but to have caught that one ray filled them with new strength to battle in the future, and had touched elbows with still another phase of humanity. M. Quad in the New York World.

Valuable Dirty Water,

For many years a spring Of dirty water ran from the house of certain M. Korotnetf. in the heart of Sebasto-
 pol and caused the proprietor much trouble. At times the spring would cover the best street in the city with mud. Of late the spring has become public nuisance and the city author ities compelled M. korotnetf to build a small reservoir around it and lead off the muddy substance by sewer pipes. But as soon as this was done it was discovered that the substance in the new reservoir was pure naptha, For the last three months since the discovery was made nothing has been done to utilize this wasting treasure.

 ApOlOgy.

A lake steamer was on it's way from Marquette to Saginaw Among the passengers was an inquiring English i tourist who came on board at Mar quette at dark and immediately turned in. After breakfast he came on deck with a very ill-defined notion where he was. and at the first opportunity he i accosted the captain, who was any l thing but the affable parsonage of whom we hear so frequently. Beg pardon, sir v he said, but can you tell me the name of the lake I'm onpn
 The Lake Huron, replied the cap- tain, shortly, and passed on about his duties.
 The passenger looked puzzled for a moment and then, supposing he had been misunderstood. followed the offi- cial.
 Il beg your pardon; did you say-n
 Its the Lake Huron, said the cap tain, brusquely, wondering if the pas senger was hard of hearing.
 'Yes, l know, persisted the anxious inquirer; but what's the name of the lake I'm on?"
 The name of the lake you're on is the Lake Huron, roared the captain, thoroughly exaspcrated at such stupid ity, and not at all conscious of the double meaning conveyed in his speech.
 The passenger looked after the re- treating official in angry astonishment.
 The lake Fun on is the lake I'm on, he soliloquized. What beastlv impertinence. Of course it is, The lake I'm--"
 Then he paused; the solution of the mystery flashed across his mind and he laughed so heartily that it put him in a good humor and presently he hunted up the irate captain and strengthened out matters to their mu- tual satisfaction. Youths Companion.

To! have fared and fared again Far up and down the ways of men, And found no path strayed along As happy as the hills of song. As in the days when time began Are played the merry pipes of Pan, And never rises note of wrong Upon the happy hills of song. There is no frost of doubt to blight; The sun of faith sheds lustrous light; To peace and joy the hours belong Upon the happy hills of song. Then ho who will, and follow me! Through f1owery meals the path shall be Fear not the way is steep or long Unto the happy hills of song.

EFFECTS or coFFEE.
An Excellent Medicine In Its Place ana .
 Mental stimulus.

Coffee owes it's stimulating and e. freshing qualities to coffeine. says the Boston Journal of Commerce. It also contains gum and sugar, fat acids, casein and wood fiber. Like tea it powerfully increases the respiration but, unlike it. does not affect it's depth By its use the rate of the pulse is in- creased and the action of the skin di- unfinished. It lessens the amount of blood sent to the organs of the body, distends the veins and contracts the capillaries, thus preventing the waste of tissue. It is a mental stimulus of a high order. and one that is liable to great abuse.
 Carried to excess, 1t produces ab- normal wakefulness, indigestion, acid ity, heartburn, irritability of temper trembling, irregular pulse, a kind of intoxication ending in delirium and great injury to the spinal functions.
 Unfortunately there are many coffee tipplers who depend upon it as a drunkard upon his dram.
 On the other hand, coffee is of sover- SiS u oih'aNS III oiuiiS oNcI tHt ucTNouS system in emergencies.
 Coffee is also in it's place an excel lent medicine. In typhoid fever it's action is frequently prompt and de- cisive.e It is indicated in the early stages before local complications arise.
 Coffee dispels stupor and lethargy, is an antidote for many kinds of pois- on, and is valuable in spasmodic asth- ma, whooping-cough, cholera infantum, and Asiatic cholera.
 It is also excellent as preventive against infectious or epidemic diseases. In districts rife with malaria and fever the drinking of hot coffee before pass ing into the open air has enabled per sons living in such places to escape contaCion

The municipal officers of Newark. N. J., have an elephant in the shape of an Arab peddler on their hands. He was arrested for peddling without | license and sent to jail. The law re- quires that he must pay Slo and costs before he can be liberated, but as ht has no money, the prospect is that he will be obliged to remain in jail indeti. nitely, and the city will have to pay for his support unless some charitable person pays his fine. He does not rn- derstand any but his native language and probably does not know why he i. incarceratcd.

An Eccentric Idea.

The old castle of Tazenberg, still standing in Karnthen Austria. was built in the fifteenth century by the archbishop of Salsburg. This prelate was man of quaint and curious fan eies. and after pondering long and gravely as to what should be the unique features of his castle he determined to make it kind of perpetual almanac by giving it as many gates as the year has months, as many rooms as the year has weeks and as many windows as the year has days.
