Sowing Wheat Early.

1t is not the size Of the wheat plant,
but its vigor ard healthy growth that
insures It's vitality through the winter
On rich soil it Is often better to defer
sowing until late in September. There
is less of leaf to draw on the root during
winter. or to be transplanted If the root
should chance to be lifted mp by frost.
As for the idea that large growth
of leaf keeps the ground from deep
freezing, it is absurd. for every winter
frost penetrates always as deep as the
furrow, and often much deeper. The
small wheat plant has not struck its
roots deeply. When the surface soil ex-
pands it lifts these roots with it.
Early sown wheat, especially when
sown in dry time. has roots that strike
down deeply. These are snapped when
ever a surface thaw occurs, while the
roots are held below and the surfaces
freezes again. The top is then greatly
.lisproportioned to the root. 1t is good
plan when wheat is getting a large fall
growth to turn in sheep or young calves
to crop tho leaves. They lessen liability
TO injury by decreasing the top in case
the root is thrown out. Besides this the
tranping of the soil is beneficial. 1t
compacts it around the roots. and thus
compacted the soil is less absorptive OF
water, from which GENES the chief dam
ger from winter freezing and thawing.

Many who have read that sweet and
simple love story, 'Paul and Virginia, r"
do not believe that it is really founded
on facts. Yet such is said to be the
case Thomas Wilkinson, an English
man, who has resided in the Island of
Madagascar for thirty years, says Paul
aud Virginia were characters of flesh and
blood, and not mere creatures of the
novelists imagination. However, it is
not denied that the facts in history were
embcllished arlistically by the author of
the story. About 800 miles east of
Madagascar is situated small island,
thirty miles square, known as Mauritius.
When it was first found by white men
there were no traces of former possession
of any people. The Dutch first settled
the island, and it became a productive
spot in raising sugar. Then the French
took possession of it and finally the En-
glish obtained control Now Mauritius
is inhabited by the Dutch the French,
the English and a horde of Chinese labor
ers and black slaves of the sugar planta-
tions. On this island is seen to-day the
tomb of the unfortunate lovers, Paul and
Virginia. 1t is we'll authenticated
piece Of history on the island that these
two lovers belonged to two weIl-to-do
French families there Virginia, who
was beautiful, and young, and artless,
was sent to France to be educated
While there her hand was sought by q
wealthy and titled Frenchman, but she
refused his offer and remained true to
the simple swain, Paul, of Mauritius.
She started home on the ship st. Jehan,
but the vessel was wrecked in a hnrri-
cane when in sight Of Mauritius, and hel
lifeless body was washed ashore. Among
the relics of this event there are kept
several pieces of the broken timbers of
st. Jehan on the island. and the marble
tomb of Paul and Virginia is held in high
reverence by the inhabitants as a monu
ment to their enduring love- CHI icago

Pears Without Cores.

Writers often express surprise that
there should be an orange without seeds,
but this experience is met with in almost
all kinds of fruits There is an apple
called Mennechor's Nocore, so named ex-
pressly from the total absence Of seeds.
An illustration of this is in the Rutter
pear; it is extremely rare that seed is
found in it, although they are occasion
ally there. The common eurrant, Zante
currant of the stores, is simply grape
which does not produce seeds. A singu-
lar feature about these varieties is, that
they seem to increase in productiveness
by reason of this want of perfection in
the seed. The Rutter pear is especially
q great bearer; there seems almost as
many pears as leaves on the tree Tn
fortunately, if allowed all to come to per-
lection, the fruit is of inferior quality
but when properly thinned out the flavor
is delicious.-[M eehan's Monthly.
