THE COMING OF SPRING.

"The first person saw advancing
toward me was a youth of u most beauti-
full air and shape; there was such a bloom
on his countenance, such satisfaction
and joy, that l though it the most de-
sirabie form | had ever seen. He was
clothed in a flowing mantle of green
silk, interviewer with flowers; he had
a chapiet of roses on his head, and a
narcissus in his hand; primroses and
violets spraDg up under his feet, and
all nature was cheered at his approach.
Flora was on one hand and Vertumnus
ON the other / n q robe of ehangeable
silk. "-Description of Spring from tie

As winter draws to a close we begin

A certain doctor In Northern Maine
is noted for his love Of hunting and
he is reckoned a pretty good shot.

for this doctor. Now, ~ medical
friend Is sometimes quite slow in
getting ready for his trips and on this
occasion, after being called, he was
unusually so. Suddenly the thought
came to him that as he was to go 80
far into the woods he might see some
game, and stepping to thedoor where
the nervous lumberman was impa-

A raccoon makes an easily kept
cage animal, and 1t is often found so
confined. When awaSe 1t Is the Incst
restless OF all creatures, pacing 10
and fro necessarily within It's oars
being almost always in motion when
in its cage and not coiled up in sleep.
IL is very fond Of sugar and all sweet,
meats, and, strange to say, IL VIII
greedily drink strong, sweet alcoholic
cordials 90 as to become ludicrousiy
tIpsy.
Although the raccoon Is still a COM
mon animal in this country, yet IL
does not Withstand any systematic or
persistent hunting from the hand Of
man, and there are to-day many VIDE
sections utterly unfrequented by IL,
where, q few decades ago, IT was
abundant, the country itself remain
ing lust about the same as 10 open
timber, cultivated fields and dense
forest.
The South American form is known
as the .'crab-eating coon" Oregon
canciyorous, } is very similar In APP
pearance to ours and differs only III
possessing much shorter fur and otnef
minor characters; 1t extends over all
South America as far south as the
Rio Negro and 1t is very common IN
all suitable localities, according 70
Flower, with the same general habits;
only, as there are several species OF
fresh water crabs In that region upon
which this animal is very fond OF
feeding, Il has got the particular
name above given. :,
one form, Procyon lotor, ranges all
down from the United States through
Mexico well into Central America,
and those specimens taken in Costa
Rica are said to be the largest OF their
race, and our name OF '~'raccoon" IS
an anglicized shortening Of an Indian
designation, starathko0n," OF the
Delaware. The French ration or
ration laveur and the German Waschba
and similar European names are de-
rived from the curious habit WHICH
this animal exhibits when eating OF
dipping or washing It's food in the
water IL near creek or pool; it also
literally rubs and washes its fore
paws in any stream or spring that II
may chance to run across when lei
surely providing through the meadows

~ am told" said a cynical gentle
man. shat confectionery Is made,
nut IN and handled entirely by girls
and women, l infer that II the pre-
marathon OF confectionery were COM
~pletely In their hands. none OF IL
would ever reach the public. 1t
would be eaten up" This cynical
person, like most cynics in their
judgments, ignored an important
Characteristic of human nature. IL
is this, that liberty is often one OF
the best means Of 'egulation
In most establishments where corr
fectionery Is manufactured, the fe-
male employees, when they begin their
service, are told to eat as much candy
a. they like. Their employers even
show a solicitous interest that they
shall consume as much as possible.
You are doing very WELL" said a
superintendent In a candy making
shop to a girl who had been IN his
employ for a day or two, except In
one respect-you don't eat enough
candy. Unless you can eat more we
shall have no confidence in you.
Thus encouraged, the gil ate &
treat quantity Of various sorts OF
confectionery the next day-and
never wished to eat any more as long
as she lived.
This 10 the secret OF the free per
mission. A new employe, set down
In the midst Of SO much sweetness
and free to help herself, consumes too
much for her palate aud digestion;
disgust follows safety, and from that
| time forward the candy maker Is con-
tent to let her CONNECTIONS pass
through her hands without tasting
them.
In Russia, where repression rather
| chan freedom is the order Of the day,
a different practice, and apparently a
cruel one, prevails in the confection-
cry establishments The girls en-
ployed there are never permitted To
taste the candies; and in order that
they shall not do 50 secretly, a sort oil
moral muzzle is put on them.
They are made to sing necessarily.
when at work, a song especially COM
posed for the purpose. Any young
woman who interrupts her singing fol-
an instant is at once under suspicion,
and is watched.
OF course the employees, in such cir
;umstances. are continually tempted
to eat the candy, and their torture i:
made the more like that Of Tantalu>
by the words Of their song itself,
which are In praise OF the sweetness
and deliciousness Of the candy they
are handling.
They learn to sing on ceaselessly
and indifferently, but it is said by
! those who have been much in these
/ Russian candy shops that the girls
utterance occasionally becomes singu'
larry h.ck.

GRASSES.

'The oat grass and the sword grass, and the
bulru>h in the pool"
-TENHYsoN.
A very interesting subject for study
is that of our native and foreign
grasses. To one whothinks that ''grass
is grass" and that there is no difference
between them, it will be a matter OF
surprise to learn of the many different
varieties, each with its distinctive form
of leaf and reed spike.
One of the most interesting is the
"Sweet ternal Grass" iAnthoIanthem
odoratuml. 1t has a very pleasant
odor and should be found in every
mixture OF grass seed for the lawn. II
grows too thin to be of much use to
the s9rIculturist but imparts a very
pleasant olor to hay which contains
ever so small a proportion of it. Onr
illustration, reproduced from the Agri-
cultural i.eports shows the somewhat
scanty foliage and slender spikelets Of
this fragrant grass.
A very popular meadow grass, better
known, perhaps. in Europe than IN this
country, is the Orchard Grass, Dactylis
G~ionierata. This has pretty tufted
spikelets, grows tall and heavy under
favorable conditions aud flowers SC
early that it may be cut before the OK
eye daisy comes into bloom, thus help.

The art of INSTRUMENTATION by
means Of semaphores and flash lights,
so often resorted to by military COM
manders either to make their own
movements known to their allies, or
to discover to supporting columns the
exact movements Of the e%netly-in
fact for many different uses-is even
in these piping times Of peace an ex-
ceedlngly interesting one. During
the great Civil War that art was
brought to a greater degree OF perfec-
tion IN the Federal and Confederate
armies than 1t had ever been before,
but the stupendous and all-absorbing
question OF the hour prevented any,
thing like an adequate appreciation
Of its beauties.
Perhaps it is not generally known
that the first signals ever used in the
field YER during the late war. and on
the success Of our system Of flag waving
and torch flashing at night, are based
the systems now used by the armies
Of the entire world. The United
States army was also the pioneer in
use Of electric telegraph on the bat
tie field.
1t is history. that during the earlier
campaigns Of the Shenandoah Valley,
the flank movement Of Lees grand
army for the first invasion Of Mary
land vas detected and recognized
from a signal station. 1t is all on
record that night signals by torch
prevented far greater disasters to the
arm at Charlottesville than those
which. actually befell it. When the
troops were falling back, by night,
upon the river, the pontoons of the
right wing Of the army were swept
away BY the flash OF torches mes
sages we're sent across the swollen
stream:
"Hold the army IN its lines instead
OF crowding it, with danger Of a panic
upon the banks of the river"
The first intimation to the Union
Army Of the death of Gen. Polk was
obtained by officers deciphering the
code of signals that were used with
flags between the different Confeder-
ate corps.
