The stunid Onossum.

Perhaps the opossum is the very best
and most crucial instance that could pos
sibly be adduced of the intimate connec-
tion which exists between touch and in
tellect. For the opossum is a marsupial;
it belongs to the same group of lowly or
ganized, Anticipated and pouch bearing
animals rs the kangaroo, the wombat and
the other belated Australian mammals
Now everybody knows the marsupials as
class are nothing short of preternaturally
stupid. They are just about the very
dullest and silliest of all existing quad
rupeds. And this is reasonable enough,
when one comes to think of it, for they rep
resent very antique and early type, the
first rough sketch of the mammalian idea,
if may SO describe them, with wits I'M
sharpened as yet by contact with the world
in the fierce competition of the struggle
for life as it displays itself on the crowded
stage of the great continents. They stand,
in short, to the lions and tigers, the ele-
plants and horses, the monkeys and
squirrels Of Europe and America, as the
Australian black fellow stands to the
Englishman or the Yankee.-Cornhill

experiences quite as amusing as those
which are often recorded by the much tried
ticket agents in railway stations. Some of
his customers tell him too much, and yet
leave him too much in the dark.
Have you ever had a card?" he asked a
pretty but bewildered young woman who
presented herself at his desk one day, and
from whom he had elected her name and
address after some little parley.
"Why, can't remember whether have

then she might not remember, either!'
eIt won't be necessary to write her,"
said the clerk. "How long ago was this?"
ooh, dear me!' said the young woman.
"Now I wish I could think! Let me see;
used to come here to get books when was
engaged. Joe, my husband, is very liter
airy, and I used to try to keep up with
him. I remember that first winter read
all Dickens books-or was it Thackeray?
wonder which it could have been.'
"Well, no matter just how long ago it
was" remarked the amused listener, as
the young woman rested her face on her
hand, apparently lost in pleasant recollec-
tions Twill you give me some one as a
reference, please?"
'Why, how funny!' said the young wife.
II really forgot where / was It seems
queer for you to want a reference, but Joe's
address is 140 Blank street. He has
splendid position there. I think, " she add
ed, sinking her voice to aconfdential whis-
per, "they'll ask him to become one of the
firm next spring. Bit Joe told me I'd
better not tell people that, so of course you
won't say anything about it.'
81 won't mention it, the young man as
sured her, controlling his face with some
difficulty, s'but please give me some other
reference than your husband"
"What for?" asked the young woman in
dignantly.
''simply because it's the rule" replied
the clerk.
"Well, it's very poor rule" she re-
Joined, in a tone of contempt. "But I'll
refer you to my father. He's at "a Walter
street. Or you can go to my brother at rs
Morse place, or to Cousin Will at the Stock
exchange; but Joe will be very much pro-
voked to think you weren't satisfied with
him." With that she took up her handbag
and four paper parcels, gave the clerk
frosty good morning" and walked away
from the desk, leaving the poor man with
out any idea as to the names, other than
Christian, of her father, brother or cousin,
and with only confused tumble of adj
dresses in his mind
She never came again, and the clerk is
left to suppose that either Joe was pro-
voked or she has for the second time lost
her desire to be literary. "-Youth's Com

FARM ANO GARDEN.

The Bordeaux mixture will be used
more freely this year, but more care
July. The value of spraying with
fungicides is SO thoroughly established
that very few intelligent growers
would risk the losses that are quite
certain to be met without it.
A WRITER in the Michigan Farmer
says that he has been raising potatoes
for the past twenty years on from FIVE
TO twenty acres each year, and that
scab was more prevalent when he be-
gan than it is now. He attributes it to
the wirew worm and not 90 fungus.
For ordinary work horse of average
size would be fed twelve pounds Of oats

eighteen pounds of good hay; but il

of hay morning and noon and eight or
ten at night, with the same quantity of
grain.
EARLY chicks will have to contend
with filthy ground, and as gapes are
always present where filth exists the
places selected for chicks should be
very clean. 1t is much easier to pre-
vent gapes than to cure the cases. The
best way to do SO is to use air-slacked

often. 1t will do no harm to the chicks,

calf wants to be kept growing, not

SOIL INDICATORS.
Certain Kinds of Weeds win Only Gro,
on Fertile Soil.

Certain Kinds Of Weeds win Only Grow
Fertile Soil.
Weeds are not often either respecters
OF persons or of soils, in the great Mis-
sissippi valley, but usually grow apace
with the crops unless diligently resisted
by the aggressive farmer. though a
writer says the fact that some kinds Of
weeds only grow on rich soil, and their
presence indicates fertility, is well I'M
Cerstood by farmers. The common
bull thistle cannot be grown success
fully on thin, cold soil. Possibly it's
seed might terminate on such land, but
it could not amount to much. Plantain
and catnip are weeds that have similar
preference, the latter especially thriv-
ing in the neighborhood of old build
ings, and always when plowed under
making a fertile spot. The common
mallows. growing in gardens and often
a great nuisance there, will not grow
in fields of only ordinary fertility. On
the other hand. mullen and ragweed
grow better on poor soil than on any
other, probably because other plants
run them out if the land is rich. An
English story is told of a blind man
who was very wealthy, and who had
made much of his money buying and
selling land. Driving one day with his
to piece that had been COM
mended highly he asked: ''Can you
find thistle here to hitch the horse to
while / walk about the land?" NO"
was the response, but here is null
lein that will do as we'll" Drive on"

nowned from Kaka to the Victoria

was doing great mischief OF their ele-

In all the villages the brothers found
an enthusiastic welcome, the people
knowing that wherever they were meat
was never wanting. Both men were
strong limbed and of uncommon agility.
When an elephant rushed upon them
they calmly awaited him and at the
right moment leaped to one side. The
elephant. not being able to stop, turned
toward one OF the two brothers and
the other plunged lance into his side
The animal then Quilted the first man
and fell upon the one who had wounded
the tendons of the hind legs, bringing
the ele plant TO the ground.
One day. however, one of the brothers
was near falling victim to his bold

already seized him in his trunk, and

Fortunately he fell in the middle of a

His friends laughed at the accident
and the next day he said: Il would
rather eat INV wife seven times than not

He set out again. refusing the COM

together. Come" he said, help me

All the population followed him he
