Woman,s Mental Ability.

A writer in Blackwood's Magazine es-
says to demonstrate by citing living ex-
amples that women whose brains are in
constant use are but little prone to men,
tai breakdowns. This writer speaks of
Guy de Maupassant's collapse, and then
goes on to show that both Miss Braddon
and Mrs. Oliphant have turned out just as
much matter as the great Frenchman.
Then the cases of exceptionally strong
women and conspicuously weak men are
mentioned, as showing that woman's power
for literary work is greater than that Of
the sterner sex, but the writer in Black
woods studiously avoids all reference to
Shakespeare, Scott, Dickens, Pope, Bacon,
Byron, Milton and score of other prolific
male writer's.

The Field Against Cleveland.

COLUMBUS, q. june 15.-It will be the field
against Cleveland In the Democratic state
convention to-day, and the indications are
that the field is in the majority. The field,
however, 1t not concentrated on any one
man. Some of the delegates favor Hill,
Others ex-Secretary Whitney, few Gov.
ernor Flower, but the great bulk Of the
anti-Cleveland delegates are non-com-
initial beyond the statement that they IA
vor any man, east or west, that stands q
show of carrying New York. but that they
do not think either Cleveland or Hill is
that man. Campbell and Brice will be
delegates-at-large. Campbell Is for Cleve-

Ranid Literary Work.

Mr.. Rob +. Walsh, the Irish author, has
issued Parnell memorial volume of some
800 pages, containing not only a detailed
biography of Charles Stewart Parnell and
another of Daniel O'Connell, but an i'm
mense fund of valuable information on
Irish affairs. The author must have had
unusual general knowledge of his country
and countrymen, for the entire work was
written in three months. 1t contains por-
traits and sketches of every Irishman and
woman of note in this century, and is in
deed fitting memorial of the great advo-
cate of Ireland.

How to Make Koumiss.

There are people who profess to like
koumiss, and there are many more peo-
pie who, being invalids and unable to
drink milk in its fresh state, find koumiss
q refreshing and nutritious drink. The
Arabs make it of mares milk, but cows
milk is used in America Have the milk
pure. Add to quart Of it two table
spoonfuls Of white sugar previously
melted in little hot water. Add =
small quantity Of compressed yeast.
Repeated experiment will tell how much
or how little is best liked by any indi-
vidual. Fill bottle with the mixture.
Cork tightly and tie the cork firmly.
Shake vigorously. Place it in temper
ature of 80 to 55 'degs. Fahrenheit for
six hours, and then put on ice over night.
Open carefully, for it is very efferves-
cent. If curdled it has overfermented

Little B, whose grandfather and
uncle are both lawyers, was repeating
aloud his evening prayers, and was re-
minded by his aunt that he had not
asked to be forgiven for some naughty
act of the day. The little fellow dropped
on his knees and soon rose, not having
made an audible sound. "Well," in

How Long We Live.

Tables of mortality differ somewhat,
but as careful an average as has been
figured is one of the latest. According
to this the average life of q civilized hu-
man being is 30.SS years. Occupation
has much to do with the duration of life.
Farmers live 1852 years ON an average
and clerks only 34.99 years. Carpenters
live 1928 years and printers only 1896.
Among the healthier occupations are
those of the domestic, who lives 42.03
years; the baker, who lives 41.92 years
md the weaver. who lives the same
length Of time.

1t is known of all men how the father
OF his country told the truth, fought,
ruled, swore ION occasions), prayed and
paid his debts, but it is not recorded that
he ever tried to joke excepting once.
Considering the quality of his wit as dis
played ON that occasion, it may be set
down to his credit that he waited till he
was s1xty-six years ola before making
this effort, and that he never tried again.
He said jocularly to party of clergy

ary methods Of showing regret for the
loss Of friend or relative in Amer4ca

Among savage nations there are many
very horrible habits that are almost

suttee or widow burning that the Eng

India, and the Hindoos are by no means
savages.
In the Feejee islands the native wom-
en- are all obliged to burn themselves
more or less severely when great chief
tain dies. The Hawaiians who cling to
old observances blacken the lower half
OF the face and knock out their front
teeth when they lose near relatives. The
ancient Hebrews sat ON the ground for
days together, weeping and strewing
their heads with ashes, tearing their
garments and putting on sackcloth, cut
ting off hair and beard, fasting and beat
ing their breasts.
The ancient Greeks often cut off their
hair and boards, and in case of the death
of general his soldiers all cut off their
hair and the names of their horses.
Among the Romans mourning for q
great public parsonage was observed by
a total suspension of all ordinary bust

Enropean Army Abuses.

The London Standard thinks that the
German officers dread to admit the exist
ence of cruel practices in their army on ac-
count of the vindictive shafts of sarcasm
which they feel that the French press will
be certain to hurl at them. But The
Standard consolingly and complacently
adds that the German press could carry
reprisals into the enemy's territory, mas
much as the French, unlike the English
army, is honeyoombed with abuses similar
to those which are alleged to exist across

A POINT FOR GARDENERS.

How to Build an Asparagus Bed Told
Concisely.
The building of an asparagus bed
where there is any pretense of garden
Is most important operation, as q bed
of these delicious plants is as good at
tho end of fifty years, when properly
constructed, as it was in the beginning.
Asheltered place should be selected for it,
where the northern winds do not have a
chance at it and where the sun can get at
'itpretty nearly all day. The roots of the
plants go down deep and spread wide,
and therefore they should be planted in
rows eighteen inches apart and each
plant twelve inches from its nearest
neighbor in the row. Determine the size
0of the bed you wish and excavate it to a
depth OF three feet and always until it
seaches soil which will drain itself. If
this cannot be, then tiles should be laid
ito take off the water. Fill the bottom
Sof the excavation with broken stone, old
cans and other rubbish which will not
decay or bind together, and then throw
back the best of the earth excavated
with good quantity of well rotted stable
Z manure.
The earth by these two landings will
generally be well broken up, but if it is
Nsot it should be broken with the rake
rs it is put back. Then put in the two
year-old roots as before stated. Cover
them well and keep the earth of the bed
loose and free from weeds. At the end
of two years it will be ready to cut
from. In very cold climates the bed
should be covered with leaves or some
thing else during the winter. In the
spring it should be uncovered the first
thing and hoed and raked. Beds may
: be made either in the autumn or spring,
but in northern latitudes the spring is
unquestionably the better time.
