HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

IT is said that hops planted on the up
land are freer from lice than those
planted in the river bottoms.
The soil that is worked thoroughly
before potatoes are planted is the sol
that will produce the best possible CROP
that such soil can produce.
APPLY the wood ashes to the potato
crop after planting, sowing broadcast
at the rate of 900 pounds per acre. AL
root crops are benefited by ashes.
VARIETIES Of mangel wurtzel that
have a large number Of fine roots are
not as good as those that are free OF
such roots. They do not keep as well.
The orange globe is a good variety.
ONE pound of paris green to 800
pounds of water, with about 10 pounds
Of soft soap, Is good for spraying for the
cooling moth. It should be used sew
eral times about fifteen days apart
THE Oregon agricultural experiment
station advises wrapping trees with
burlap as well as spraying them for the
codling moth. Every five or six days
the wrapping is removed and the larva
found beneath lilled.-Farmers' Voice

SLEPT EoR Five MONTHS.
The Burning of TonsiI Cures q Strang'
Case of Lethargic Sleep.

The Burning of n Tonsil Cures q Strange
Case of Letbargtc Sleep.
A curious case Of lethargic SLEEP
which lasted for five months has just
come to the attention of the Hypnotic
and Psychological society in Paris,
which both they and the doctors are
unable to explain. A thirteen-year-old
girl of an excellent provincial family Is
the subject of this curious experience.
While at boarding school she was sud
denly frightened and became i'll. She
was examined by the celebrated Prof.
Charcot and admitted to the insane
asylum of DR. Raffegeau at vesinet.
At this time the girl uttered series OF
hoarse banks. ard her wfde-open mouth
disclosed highly swollen right tonsil.
Every five minutes she was seized with
a spasm. during which she rubbed her
left eyebrow so hard with her left hand
that she nearly wore it away. She was
completely unconscious, and had to be
nourished artiicially by means Of a
stomach tube. Three days after reach
ing Vesinet she fell into syncope, which
it was impossible to disturb by any
physical pain. Massage and hydro
pathio treatment produced visible inn
provement, but it was not until few
days ago that the proper remedy was
discovered Dr.. Raffegeau cauterized
the swollen tonsil with redhot iron
and at the same time treated the mus
Giles under the jaw with massage. The
girl gave little scream when the iron
was applied Some hours later she was
induced to repeat the vowels after the
physician Next morning she suddenly
awoxe, asking: Where am n" She had
absolutely no recollection of what had
occurred about her. She is now more
lively than before her illness, talks in
cessantly and seems anxious to make
up for the time she had lost by her
amusing herself as much as possible.

JAPANESE GARDENING.
Delightful Recreations In the Land
Flowers,

Delightful Recreations In the Land of
Flowers.
The principal purpose for garden
in Japan Is realistic, naturalistie; it
aims to initiate, and does not attempt
to improve actual landscapes. 1T is,
therefore, at once picture and poem,
perhaps even more poem than pic
ture Sometimes, also, sermons may
be attempted and abstract, moral ideas,
such as charity, faith, piety, content,
calm and connubial bliss may be ex-
pressed in the beauties of nature.
Japan is a land of flowers, but it
maintains nobility in floral as well as
social institutions. There are about
dozen ''hana" which are reckoned
among frst-class; and even among
these feudal lords there are gradations.
Each has also its special meaning and
use. The twelve ''majores dir of the
Japanese floral kingdom are the cherry,
chrysanthemum, cypress, bamboo,
lotus, maple, peony, pine, plum and
wisteria.
The bamboo is both useful and orna-
mental. Its many good qualities rem
der it exceedingly serviceable in manu-
featuring innumerable articles, both
small and great; and it's neatness and
simple beauty make it a common orna-
ment
The cherry is the king of Japanese
flowers, and is therefore, abundantly
cultivated Both cherry and plum
trees are raised, not for their fruit. but
for their blossoms The regulation
ornament for the New Year celebra-
ton is the triple combination of the
pine, bamboo, and plum (sho-chilxu-
bail. with which may often be asso-
ciated representations of the storlx and
the tortoise, all symbols of long life.
The pine and the bamboo also make
up the main part of the Hkado-matsu,
the outdoor New Years decorations
which stand in front of the gateway or
the doorway Of each house.
One simple but delightful recreation
OF the Japanese is, in the proper sea-
son, the cherry viewing" or the plum
viewing" which consists merely in go
ing to look at the cherry blossoms or
the plum blossoms when they have
reached full bloom. Tribune.

A NOVEL EXPERIMENT.
Measurements of School Children to Il
Taken for Scientific Purposes.

Measurements of School Children to Be
Taken for Scientific Purposes.
Superintendent Powell, of the Wash
ington public schools, and DR.. Harris,
of the bureau of education, wish 20
find, by actual experience, whether or
not there can be established any GER
tain relation between the physical and
mental development of the children in
the various grades, and for this pur-
pose there will be taken series of
measurements of about twenty thou
sand of the school children, under the
supervision of the director of physical
training. Miss Stoneroad, the teacher,
has made a study of the systems of
physical measurement in use in the
gymnasiums and schools throughout
the United States and Germany, be-
sides having done a good deal of ex-
perimental work in the same line, and
the results of her experiments will be
embodied in the series of measure
ments to be taken in the public schools
of Washington, which will include the
height, weight, chest measurement
and some cranial measurements, be-
sides series of experiments as to
nervous sensibility. These last con-
sist principally in ascertaining at what
distance apart the child is able to dis
tinguish between the points of pair
of calipers touching the wrists. The
results in this experiment are regarded
by the Post as interesting, some of the
subjects being able to distinguish be-
tween points a very small fraction of
an inch apart, while others require a
distance of more than two inches be-
fore they can tell without looking
whether one point or two Is touching
their wrist. When the results of these
measurements are tabulated it will be
easily seen whether there Is any def
mite relation between the physical
and mental development of the pupils,
and If this relation is satisfactorily es-
tablished it will be used to advantage
in guiding the teachers as to the
amount of work that may be required
of a pupil. in many cases preventing
an oyerstraining of those whose physic-
al development does not keep pace
with their mental, and pointing out as
well when more work can be required
OF pupil without fear of injury. This
experiment is new departure, but it
is In line with the advance of modern
school work, and the teachers of the
schools are hopeful that it will lead to
valuable results.

at the queens Reception.
At the last drawing-room of Queen
Victoria there was carnival of jew
els. One reckless woman, the mar
ohioness of Tweeddale, was arrayed in
a white skirt whose many seams We're
outlined with diamonds and emeralds.
The duchess of Devonshire was a blaze
Of gems and so was the duchess of
Buccleuch.
The marchioness seems to have been
the only one who sewed up the seams Of
her skirt, so to speak, with jewels, but
there was quite goodly number whose
seams were outlined with diamonds.
One lady wore long string OF
diamonds across her breast like an
order Jeweled hooks upon which to
hang their fans were worn by most of
the guests.
A quaint and beautiful fancy was
the placing of diamond in the heart
of rose worn in the hair or on the
bodice. There II nestled like a great
dewdrop, provided it was not lost In
the crush. Necklaces in profusion were
worn, and such was the passion for dis
play that these were often supple
mented by band of velvet studded
with stars. Birds, butterflies and how-
ers OF Jewels were quite common, and
the wells were kept in place by long
earrings formed Into pins, but with
pendants free TO fash out kaleiodseopie.

AN ELEPHANT HANGED.
Curious Accident to Big Brute In New
York Loft.


The death of an elephant by hang
ing occurred in New York recently at
place where animals of this kind are
stored. The beast belonged to ]. B.
Gaylord and arrived there from Bor-
neo, where 1t was captured March 10.
The animal, according to the New
York Post, was four years old, five feet
two inches high and about as long, and
was quite docile. 1t was deemed best
to keep the beast in twelve-foot box
stall, secured by cleats nailed across
the open end to a height of six feet,
and wire netting fastened above this.
But the elephant tore out the netting,
and another foot of Cheating was added,
secured by wire. The animal then be-
gan the operations which resulted
fatally. 1t wrenched loose an end OF
the uppermost cleats. 1t then thrust
Its head into the opening thus made,
and somehow climbed up high enough
to get all four feet above the floor and
the head through the opening. The
cleat fell on the neck behind the ears.
The animal must then have lost It's
purchase with its toes on the cleats be-
low and fallen. It's immense weight
prevented 1t from freeing its head, and
so 1t was found in the morning, sus-
pended with it's hind legs three inches
above the floor, dead from strangula-
ton. 1t has been sent 10 a taxider-
mist, and will adorn some museum.

A Monkey Cracks Nuts Much In the Styi

A Monkey Cracks Nuts much In the Sty.s
of Human Beings.
Jacob Cook, keeper of the monke,
house in Central park, has an educated
monkey in his collection. His monkey
ship is of African descent and is called
Jocko. The only difference between
this monkey and man in intelligence
is his lack of continuity of ideas. Cool
says Jocko is suddenly seized with in
SEPARATIONS which, if carried out, would
certainly make scientist of him. But
he never holds these ideas more thar
a second, and thus loses his chance
to become one of the notable men about
town. But Jocko had an idea yester
day which he carried out to its legiti
mate conclusion and convulsed the visi
tors with laughter.
A little boy threw large hazelnui
into Joclxo's Gage. He picked it up am
gravely inspected it. Then he tried tc
make an impression upon the shell
with his,teeth, but did not succeed. He
scratched his head thoughtfully fol
awhile, just like an editor of conf,
paper. Suddenly his face lit up. He
smiled broadly. An idea had come tt
him. He jumped from his perch and
picked up small land turtle from the
floor of his cage. Taking the nut be
tween the thumb and forefnger of hi
left hand, Jocko seized the mud turtle
by the lower she'll and deliberately
cracked the nut with the turtles uppe,
shell. Then he sat on the turtle until
he had eaten the nut, evidently with
