Eating Out of Troughs.

All the men employed ON the MANAGE
estate in Sicily sleep ON the property on
week nights and tramp back to town for
Sunday. Their food is provided for them
during the week. In the morning they
have each large chunk of brown bread
baked on the spot, herring or a sardine,
and as much wine as one can drink at q
draft. In the evening they feed like
animals. There are wooden troughs on
trestles in the open air, arranged around
three sides of square and filed with all
sorts of pasta"
The men stand around these troughs
(they are like English pig troughs) and
feed with their fingers. 1t is in vain
that their master has tried to induce
them to eat out of plates with spoons.
They broke the plates and threw the
spoons away. Presumably their idea is
that sometimes there are humps in the
food, which, feeling with their fingers,
they are able TO seize upon. so securing

The Canals of Mars.

AS to the 50 called Canals" which
are so much spoken of now and are sup,
posed to be the work Of human beings,
Mr.. Lockyer has already shown in a
very interesting paper how the incorrect
translation of the Italian canal by
canals" instead Of channels" has ere
ated Misunderstanding as regards their
real nature.
The fact is that the continents of Mars
which are very easily distinguished by
their brighter reddish color from the
darker and greenish seas-are intersect-
ed by many sinuous lines, which may be
considered as fiords and inlets, as we'll
as by straight lines, which, at certain
period of the Marian year, have been
seen as double lines by so clever an OBJ
server as Schiaparelli, and as single lines
at other periods. That these lines,
which run for immense distances paral-
lei 10 each other and 100 to 200 miles
apart, cannot be "the banks of artificial
canals is almost self evident.-Nine-

Lead Pencils Spread Diphtheria.

Diphtheria is prevalent among the
school children Of Detroit, and the charge
is made by DIR. h. s. Farnum of that city
that the disease has been spread by in
terchanging lead pencils. The board of
education furnishes pencils for all the
scholars, and the latter are not allowed
to use any Others. The scholars get one
pencil today and another tomorrow, all
the pencils being dropped into box at
the close of school each day. It is no
exaggeration to say that the average
child using a lead pencil will put the
lead end into its mouth 40 times a day,
and with the pencil going from one
child's mouth to another from day to
day it is easy to see that the practice
might become very dangerous, while Of
course it is unclean.-Buffalo News.

Carried His bike and Won His Case.

A curious case has been decided by
the Saxon court of appeals sitting in
Dresden. At Krossen there is a toll
bridge over the Mnlde, and only foot
passengers may cross free. A young
man who rode across on his bicycle was
charged the regular fee for 2-wheel
vehicle, but paid under protest. Hav
ing occasion to return the same way, he
dismouutcd at the approach Of the bridge
and walked across, carrying his machine
on his head. This time the toll gatherer
protested, but to no purpose.
Suit was brought against the bicyclist
in local court to compel him to pay
toll and costs, and verdict for the de-
PENDANT was rendered. An appeal was
taken to the supreme court, which re.
versed the decision of the lower court
and found for the plaintiff. Appeal was
again taken, this time to the court Of
last resort, which decided that toll could
be collected only for vehicles which came
in actual contact with the bridge. Judg-
ment reversed; verdict for the bicycist,

MT. G1adstone,s KnowIedgs.

What differentiates Mr.. Gladstone
from the others is the curious manner in
which he has managed TO combine his
apparent logged and tireless fixity of
purpose with seemingly the most aston
ishing openness Of mind to new ideas
and altered conditions. One must use
these qualifying expressions because the
experiences of his public career are of
such enormous bulk and magnitude,
cover such an unparalleled stretch Of
time and involve such a bewildering va
riety Of subjects and issues that com
ment ON any one phase Of it all has long
since ceased to stand on its own legs.
To understand even relatively any
thing which Mr.. Gladstone says or does
it is essential to understand some fifty
other things which, somewhere, at some
time, he has said or done The task has
grown too big for even the clearest head
ed of those who watch him and write
about him day by day. Now and again
the newer and more eager critics think
they have caught him tripping, and they
quote against him his own words in 1857
to prove their jubilant charge Of self con-
tradiction
Upon the instant he hurls back at
them his remarks in 1851, his conclusions
of 1874 and the inferances lie publicly
drew in 1882, demonstra.e. nth over
whelming force the line of continuity
connecting all the opinions of all these
dates and covers the scOrners with con-
fusion by proving that logically this
line leads straight to his present posi-
ton. As | have said, the store of things
he has behind him has now become 50
vast that outsiders no longer attempt to
keep abreast of the catalogue, much
less pretend to have mastered their COR
relative meanings and values. Yet he
has every item of the whole huge mass
quite at his fingers ends. He knows ev-
erything that he has ever said ON every
subject under the sun, and has it dock
eted in its place in those marvellous men
tai pigeonholes. ready for production at
call.-Cor. New York Times.

THE AGE OF LAUGHTER.

Smiling broadly, runs the age,
Comedy's the only play;
Wit and poet, youth and sage
Want to be surprising gay,
Let the tragics have their say
Grinning farce is what we're after;
Tragedies have had their day;
All the world is hunting laughter.
Tartuffe's time is on the rage,
And expurgated Rabelais
Is acted on the comic stage
Drag on your chestnuts by the dray,
Heavy or light, they'll freely sway
The roaring house from pit to rafter
This in truth, for mirth will pay
AL the world Is hunting laughter.

THE FARMING WORLD.

SOME poultrymen grow cabbages solely so as to have them tO feed to their laying hens during the winter 1t pays them and it will pay to initiate them. Don't be afraid of having too large a crop of cabbage heads; the pigs will take all that the family aud the hens fail to consume.
 Do NOT begin to feed corn to hogs too soon. There will be some refuse yet, such as green weeds, grass, etc, which may be utilized After the cold weather begins is the time to commence feeding corn. In the meantime, all the waste material suitable for the purpose should be put 10 good use in the pig pen.
 OUR potato crop is not sufficient for our requirements for the coming year, while Canada has more than her people can consume. A crop that falls below the demand should be a paying one, and with the use of more fertilizers greater yields per acre, and good keep ing varieties, the potato growers have q bright future before them,
 EXPERIMENTS made for several sea sons demonstrate that it will cost no more to raise pig, attain q heavy weight and produce pork that is inter- Spcrsed with lean and fat than to pro- duce pork that is almost wholly com posed of fat. By feeding variety of food, including corn, more pork and of better quality will result than when only corn is fed.
 A WONDERFUL improvement has been made in the varieties of tomatoes dur ing the past five years They are now smooth on the surface, and are also very solid compared with old varieties If improvement progresses as rapidly in the future as in the past with toma- toes, they will at some day contain but a few seeds and be as solid-ileshed as apples.
 1 IT is not now matter of distance from market, but the time in reaching it. 1t has been truthfully claimed that a farmer living on a poor road, ten miles from market, is really greater distance away than the farmer living two hundred miles away, but who has the advantage of railroad, It is the time and cost of reaching the market that adds to the cost of the products.

Treatment of Horn BrIttleness.

In treating cows for horn brittleness, a stock raiser in Austria found no good resulting from feeding bone meal when the water used from spring was perfectly soft-that is, without mineral matter. But upon changing them to tho water of another spring containing carbonate, sulphatc and phosphate of lime, and chIorate of magncsia in small quantities, the effects were as follows: 1. The animals drank half as much again as before. 9. The cows gave more and better milk than before. 8. The worst diseased cows at once began to get better, and this was the first case in which any of them recovered with out removal. 4. The oxen showed far better condition than could be previ- ously attained on the best of food and with the most careful attention. No fresh cases occurred as soon as the change of water was introduced.

HE PEAR TREE SLUG.
Life History and Habits of n Most De-
 structive Insect.

structiye Insect
 This insect passes the winter in the pupa state under ground. The flies, the progcnitors of the mischievous brood of slugs, appear on the wing, in the northern states, from about the third week in May until the middle of June. The fly is of glossy black color with four transparent wings, the front pair being crossed by duslIy cloud; the veins are brownish and the legs dull yellow with black thighs, ex- cept the hind pair, which are black at the eXtremities, and dull yellow in the middle The female fly is more than onc-fifth of an inch long; the male is somewhat smaller The female of this species begins to deposit her eggs early in June; they are placed singly within little semicircuar incisions through the skin of the leaf, sometimes on the under side and sometimes on upper. In two weeks these eggs hatch. At first the newly-hatched slug is white, but soon slimy matter oozcs out of the skin and covers the upper part of the body with au olivc-colored, sticky coating. After changing the skin four times it attains the length of half an inch or more and is then nearly full grown. It has . disagreeable and sicliening odor. Head is small, of reddish color and is al- most entirely concealed unde~ the
