An Amiable College President.

The late Rev. Dr. Hill, the honored
ex-president of Harvard, was once on o
crowded train with a numberof emigrants,
and spent his time i'll making paper dolls
for the cross, tired children of poor
emgrunt woman, who was overcome
with poverty, trouble and the perplex-
tiles of travel "Tho Fairfield Me. J
Journal tells another story, illustrative
OF his amlabllity. Soon after he came
to Portland canker worms began to annoy
the beautiful trees in Safest. very
much and it was feared that they would
be destroyed. DIR. Hill was equal to the
emergency, and with oil his knowledge
of bugs and worms did not propose to
have the handsome trees in front Of his
residence destroyed by insignificant can
kor worms. Accordingly he made prep
aration largely composed of printers
ink and girdIed his trees. While thus
employed i'll raiment suitable for the
work lady sailed down the street and
asked him about the remedy. She OK
planned that the trees about her residence
were injured by the worms and asked
him if she could not engage him to treat
them. He said he would if he could get
time. She asked him his name and he
said Gill; and after exacting from him
a promise to come up and examine the
trees, she went home and proudly told
her husband what she had done. He re-
cognizod the divine by her description
and was appalled, Dr. ''Hill'' kept
his promise, in spite of the mortified
lady's protestation; and the trees are
alive and thrifty to-day.-[New York

Cooperate for Water.

10 have running water at house and
barn, on tap at all times for all purposes,
is worth 500 a year to many farmers
Often by surveying the natural advanta-
ges of the ground some system can be
devised to accommodate group of
farmers. Tho homes of farmers are
often i'll close proximity, and on about
the same level. Such can be served by
one plant OF waterworks. The expense
for each firm is thus materially light
ened. In some places deep we'll and
windmill to fill some adequate tank or
reservoir will be the best plan. In other
places Il living stream can be utilized by
damning it above the point Of delivery
and laying pipe. To expend 81 900 for
water looks formidable to most farm
ers; for five to bear the cost is much
easier. Even 500 put into good per
manent water supply would be cheap
investment for most farms When one
considers the amount of money spent on
every farm for original outlay and wear
and tear in the way of ordinary wells, els
terms, pumps, buckets, ETC., and also the
time spent and the Inconvenience of
pumping and carrying water daily in all
weathers, it is q wonder that more pipe is
not laid and more water laid under daily
tribute on farms The cooperative plan
wonld probably solve the difficulty for a
great many farmers, New York Trib-

Facts Regarding the Ascel, Which
Comes From India-$125 For
II Single Egg-The Buff
Lcghorns.

Every season since 1883, when the
Wyandottes opened the bali, some new
claimant for public recognition has
made its debut at the Madison Square
Garden poultry show. This year the
dcbutants are the Aseel and the buff Leg
horn. The Aseel is by no mears a new
variety, but IS as old as the India from
which it has come. It's name signifying
the pure, the original, thoroughbred
serves to distinguish it as the Indian
game from counterfeits that have that
name.
They are very difficult to import, and
it is doubtful if an American could Sc
cure really good bird in India, as the
raJahs are exceedingly jealous of parting
with them and it is only as great favor
that any are let go. So highly are they
valued in India that an instance is on
record of S125 having been paid for
single egg from celebrated hen, the
females when really first rate being more
valuable than the males.
Somayears ago the English Poultry
Club essayed to make standard for the
Aseel, but if the work was completed it
never was given to the public. The
only standard to be obtained is that of
Mr.. G. F. Montressor, late of the Bengal
civil service, and judge of the variety
for English shows. Mr.. Montressor
owned and bred the variety for years in
India, and is the authority for all that

Largest Ships AhUat.

The largest sailing ship under any flag
is the fivemasted vessel La France, which
recently took coal from Newcastle to
San Francisco. She is 375 feet Ill length,
40 feet in breadth and 33f teeth in
depth, measured from the upper deck to
the bottom of the hold. Her net gauge
is $500 tons and her burden 600 tons.
The principal dimensions of the vessel are
as follows: Bowsprit, 50 feet long and
10 inches and 30 inches in diameter;
mizzenmast, in a single piece, 14O feet
long; main boom of the mizzenmast, 46
feet long; upper throat, 81 feet; lower
throat, % feet. The lower and top
masts are in single piece, and of the
following dimensions sbove deck Fore
mast, 159 feet; foremainmlst, 1G6 feet;
aftermainmast, 167 feet. The diameter
of the mast varies from 30 inches to II
inches; that of the topgalantmast5 is
from 16 inches to 10 inches. The length
of the lower yards is 80 feet, that of the
upper yards from Is feet to II feet,

on her first voyage from Cardiff tc Rio

moderate winds prevailed a speed of

the captain at the conclusion Of the
voyage.

ended her days as a French transport
and then as a coal hulk. But in her
prime she made the run from New York

The blu1t LeghOrn, the second new
conner, has its popularity in its color.
This, clear buff, is unusual for the
close-teathered varieties, but once the
oddlty of the Lcghorn type in the garb
Is overcome, the effect is most pleasing,
and the observer becomes the faucier
and the fanCcr the advocate.
The variety may be said to be in two
types, the natural and the artificial, the
tancier of the one claiming it as lost
tribe OF the great Italian famiIy, the
other as manufactured of good Italian,
Aslatlc and game stocks in English Yards
That both are correct seems likely, as in
the birds of the one the faults are Il ten
dency to lighter coloring, and to a pos
sibllity that buff with white trimmings
was the original type, whereas the other
has faults in shape, stockings and dark
or plumage that betray the ancestry.
But, whether made or grown, the variety
will require much outside help before the
! type its breeders have laid out for it can
be bred with any certainty.
| Although the buff Leghorn was I'M
III tlllI1t tAtllDIGtl at the
Crystal Palace in 1888 there have been
classes at many of the exhibitions during
the past year. As these birds are not
yet admitted to the standard, the Judges
| at the American shows are to be guided
by the American standard of perfection
fa the Leghorn in points of size, comb,
and shape, and for the buff Cochin in
points Of color; evenness and freedom
from blotches to count for more than
depth.
The difficulties to be encountered in
the breeding are white in tails and flights
and this IS SO persistent as to create
the belief that the original bird had
white primaries and sickles-unevcn,
blotchy, and muddy color, greenish legs,
blotched and misshapen lobes and combs.
Although but just at the beginning,
this variety has its club, and so jealousy
is the association guarding the interests
of the breed that to become a member
one must give proofs that lie possesses
the true buff Leghorn.

A Statue to s'Little Macs

The statue in bronze of General
George Brinton Mcclellan, which is to
be unveiled in Philadelphia on Septem-
Der I next, the thirtieth anniversary Of
tho battle Of Antietam, is thus described:
"In conception the statue is striking and
heroic, resembling closely that Of Cen
eral Thomas. The stecd. modelled after
the spirited animal ridden by Little
Mac at Antietam, is pausing upon the
crest of gentle hillock. With head
and ears erect, eyes and nostrls dilated,
it stands trembling, and strains every
muscle as if shifting the battle from afar.
Upon the charger sits the stern soldier,
the height of contrast to the fiery inpa-
tienco Of his stecd, the dingy little army
cap drawn down over his eyes, the i'm
mobile profile turned slightly over the
left shoulder, and the calm, firm features
buried in that deep thoughtfulness, that
impression of latent power and magne-
tism, which won for him the devotion of
all officers, and made him the great or
gunZcr of the shattered armies Of the
Union. The top of the granite pedestal,
from which the stced arises, is | feet
ABOVE the ground. Its base IS IA feet
long and s feet wide, the lower half of
massive granite, the upper carved with
wrcaths and martial devices. The front
will be inscribed simply, General
George B. Nc CleIlan, in large letters.
Below will be q heavy shield of bronze,
resting upon two sheaves of wheat.
About the four corners will hang in
mourning effect large cords of bronze
flowers. \ wreath of laurel i'll bronze

Says the Trenton On J.) american:
Australians are protesting against the
immigration of the "scun" of England.
It is not so long since the chief inhabi-
tants Of Australia were English convicts;
but, after all, they were no worse
than the robbers who s'came over with
William the Conqueror, and there are
many persons who would be glad to
trace their descent from them to-day.
But the Australian objection is based on
the fear that the English scum of to-day
will interfere with the prosperity of the
labor element. Yet Australia could
easily sustain four times as many people
as there are in all the British Isles.

Learning a Trade.

If had my way writes Foster Coates,
| would insist that every boy should learn
q trade. 1t was so in the olden times
and it should be SO now. The man who
has trade is thousand times better
equipped than the man who has none.
Let every boy select trade that best
suits his ability, and promises the hi gh-
est honors and remuneration. When he
hos mastered his trade, if he dislikes it,
or it is not profitable, he can begin to
study profession, or enter upon com
mercial life. II he should fail in both
of these, he is still master Of n good trade
something that no one can take from him,
no matter what eXigencics may arise
The man who is master of u good trade,
is as independent as q millionaire. He
need never want; he can find profitable
work in any corner OF the world. | do
not say one word against a professional
career. But do say cmphatically that
the man who has trade and profession
us WELL need huye no fear of the future
The boy who wants to can master trade
between tho years of Is and 20, and if
he dislikes it, he still has time to study
medicine, the law, or any other of the
learned professions. But if he waits
until he is 20, or over, he may not have
an opportunity or feel inclined to learn

A uniform route across the Atlantic
for all steamers leaving Liverpool fol
New York, and another separate route
for steamers leaving New York for Liver
pool, have long been regarded by the
large steamship companies, and by all
thoughtful persons interested in the
North Atlantic trade, as pressing need
of the time. A conference of the prirg.
eipal companies trading from Liverpool
to New York, relates the Scientific
American, has resulted in an agreement
upon such routes, and the steamers of
the Cunard, White Star, Inman and In
ternational, Guion and National COM
pauies will now follow them. The tracks
being fixed by common consent, repre-
seat the safest courses which the COM
bined wisdom and experience of the
lines adopting them can suggest. They
do not materially affect the length OF
the passage, which will vary from 900
miles between January aud July,to 2775
miles between July and January, when
the North Atlantic is comparatively
free from icebergs.

She is 1888 feet long, As feet broad aud

fourteen knots an hour for whole day.
For beauty she compares untavorably
with such a ship as the ThermopylWc or
a large American wooden ship, having
bright lofty spars and decks as white as
a hounds teeth. Iron decks do not lend
themselves readily to adornment.
Next in size is the Palgrave, of 3O75
tons. The United States ship Shenan-
doah, of Bath, Ne, built by Mcssrs.
