Perils of Whalers.

In 1892, for example, nine whalers
found their way to Cape Bathurst,
where no vessels was ever before eeen /;
and at least four of them remained there
throughout last winter. They proba-
bly, returned to San Francisco months
ago, having accomplished task never
before achieved, but nobody has
thought it worth while to announce to
the world what they had done, nor
would the idea that they had per-
formed feat to be proud of ever en-
ter their modest heads. Danger is
their daily companion, daring their
trade, and suffering a lot to be ex-
pected and to be endured as a matter
of course. The annual loss of life
among the mariners of our whale and
fishing industries makes total larger,
it is said, than the number of victims
of the Willoughby or Franklin expedi-
tions, whose tragic story is foremost
in the history of arctic ventures.
Every season they expect to encoun-
ter at least one terrible storm, whose
peril from the grinding ice masses we
can hardly imagine. Nearly every year
one or more vessels are caught in the
ice and ground to splinters; sometimes
a whole fleet is thus crushed, as in
1871, when the crews of thirty-tive no.
BILE craft we're only saved in their
boats after untold hardships; and some
times vessel is caught in the great
polar pack and is drifted away with its
living burden to silence and death and
mystery. -Providenc Journal.

ASPARAGUS CULTURE.

can grow asparagus, but can't tell
how do it in fowery style, writes a
correspondent. I have rich soil.
just as rich as rotten barnyard manure
will make it. It is tile drained. I
plant in rows five feet apart and three
feet apart in the rows. I furrow out
as deep as possible with the plow, put
we'll .rotted manure in the bottom,
cover it with two or three inches of
rich soil and put the plants on this.
Get strong plants year old. The
crowns should be about six inches be-
low the outside surface of the soil.
Cover two inches deep with rich soil,
with little rich manure on top.
Cultivate we'll and fill up the burrows
as the plants grow. Cut the tops off
in the fall, before the seed drops, and
take them away. Let the stalks grow
the second season and keep the ground
clean and mellow. The third year you
will get good crop and the next year
full one. Cut sparingly the third
year. Apply manure every spring and
cultivate it in. I had good results
from applying superphosphate, Six
hundred pounds per acre. Cut the
crop every morning, put into punches,
with buncher, two or three pounds
to the bunch, and secure with rubber
bands. Square the butt ends nicely
with clean cut and market at once
I have very rich clay loan for my
bed, and I snap off the plants instead
of cutting them. Farmer.

HOW TO MAKE A HOTBED.

If possible select a location pro,
tected on the north and west and open
to the suns rays on the south. Make
a tight frame with one side six inches
higher than the other; the lower side
should be foot or so high. Fit this
with old window sashes if they are
handy, if not make cheap sashes fo1
the glass. See that the sashes can be
easily removed, yet that no cracks are
left between them and the hotbed
frame for cold ar to creep in.
While the frame is being made (or
better, little previous to that begin
to get your heating materials, that is,
the manure; throw fresh horse manure
into heap, add to this half it's bulk
of forest leaves if they are obtainable
let this lie for week or 80 until it
begins to smoke, then turn the pile in
side out and leave for two or three
days until it smokes again. Now the
material is ready for the hotbed. Pile
up your manure about four feet high
(pressing it down firmly and make the
pile long and wide enough to extend a
foot beyond the hotbed frame on both
sides. Put the frame on top of the
heap, lower side south, and let it
"sweat." After few days it. will be-
gin to cool off; when the temperature
is down to ninety degrees fill in the
frame with six inches of soil-one part
well rotted manure to two of rich loan.
After the soil has become thoroughly
warm the hotbed is ready for plant
ing.
Be sure to keep the ground moist ;
if the sun is bright water every other
day, but don't soak it down too much.
The hotbed should be covered up at
night during early spring; old pieces
of carpet will answer nicely. On
warm, bright days care must be taken
not to let the plants get too hot; when
the temperature rises above seventy
five degrees raise the sash a little,
using your judgment as to how much
air to let in, according to the air and
outside temperature. If this is not
carefully looked after the plants will
grow too rapidly and be weak and
spindling, or if they become too hot
will be scorched to death.
If permanent hotbed is desired,
dig hole from two and half to three
feet deep and board up the four sides
so that the boards rise foot above
the ground in front and eighteen
inches behind, and fit this with sash.
Fill up level with the ground with
manure, taking care to tread it down
we'll and treat the same as in the fore
going.
Ifa large hotbed is built use sash
six feet long and three feet wide,
glazed especially for the purpose.
Then build the bed or beds six feet
wide, any desired length, having the
width of bed the length of single
sash. Farm, Field and Fireside.

Greek Soldiers.

In letter from Athens, Greece, te
the Chicago Herald the writer says:
Yesterday Queen Olga, with the mem
bers of the royal family, except the
King, went to church in state to the
Metropolis, the great central church
of the national worship in Greece.
King George was absent because he is
Lutheran, and performs his devotions
at little chapel in the palace. A
magnificent and showy event was Her
Majesty's ehurch-going. First came a
large body of cavalry riding full gallop
down the hill leading from the palace.
Then several carriages containing
members of the royal family, high
officers of the Government, etc., and
next Her Msiesty's state coach, drawn
by four spirited horses, at full speed.
To anybody who has. never seen a
Queens state coach, this one at least
would be curious looking vehicle.
In architecture it somewhat resembles
the famous carryan of George Wash
ington, of blessed memory, although
it is much longer. High on the front
seat sat coachman and footman in

in a strawberry bed. There is no
do,b+ +bo+ +ba ,ea of thase annually

in a strawberry bed. There is no
doubt that the use of these annually
reduces the crop considerably.
When an old bed has outlived its
usefulness there are thousands appar-
emily good plants to be plowed under.
Some persons cannot bear to see these
60 to waste. So they either use them
for starting new beds, offer them for
sale, or give them to their nelghbors
and friends. Whoever tries to save
something by the use of such plants is
likely to lose in the end ten times as much
as be seeks to save. Another practice
not uncommon among fruit growers is
to take plants from the edges OF the
matted rows of the bed that is to bear
fruit. AS they wish to disturb the
bed as little as possible they take the
plants that have run farthest into the
central spaces between the rows. They
claim that such plants must be all right
since they come from beds of last
years setting, and which were not OIL
lowed to bear fruit. But they are as
unfit for use as the old plants taken
from the wornout bed, as they grew
from sets at the ends of the runners,
too far from the parent plants. When
runner has grown for a short distance
it forms q set. Whether this takes
root or not, the runner continues for
another short space and then forms
another set, and so on until the third,
fourth or even fifth set is formed, all
more or less dependent on the parent
plant for their support and growth.
Those nearest the parent plant have
the best chance. They make more
rapid growth and become stronger and
better plants than those farther re-
moved, while those at the very ends of
the runners, the last feeble effort, are
of low vitality and feeble growth. Be-
sides they are formed 80 late in the
season that they do not have time to
get properly rooted before winter sets
in. To fill bed with such plants is
to make a very poor beginning, and
spoil all hope of anything better than
light or medium crop.
The proper kind of plants to use in
starting strawberry bed are those
grown the previous year expressly for
transplanting. In growing plants for
such purpose, extra pains are taken in
training and pruning the runners 80
that only the best plants are preserved,
and so few of these that no two shall
stand closer than five or six inches
apart. The late forming sets and run
ners are cut off, so that when winter
sets in the bed is composed wholly of
strong, we'll manured, well rooted
plants. When wanted in the spring,
the entire row-not the edges of it
is taken up, and choice grade of
plants is thus secured. Better pay an
extra price for such plants than to
take inferior ones as a gift.-American
Agriculturist.

The Hundred and Fifty.first Psalm.

Worthington's Magazine says: Your
Bible, if it is of the ordinary sort.
closes the book of Psalms with the one
hundred and fftieth. In the Greek
Bible, however, there is another, en-
titled "a Psalm of David after He had
Slain Goliah." Athanasius praises it
very highly in his Synopsis of the
Holy Scriptures. 1t was versitied by
Apollinarius Aleaandrius, A. D. $50,
and Latin translation Of it may be
found in the works of Fabricus, Vol.
II, PIP. 995-997 The translation I
give below is by Baring-Gould, the

"The elephant is IN arrant cow

counted his experiences in circus to
a group of friends. 81 had charge
of an elephant once that had vicious
disposition, but he would do anything
that wanted him to. used to prod
him with sharp steel and otherwise
impress upon him that I was master
and intended to remain so. An un-
derkeeper went on the kindness the
ory and treated the big animal as
we'll as if he was member Of his own
family.
AFTER we had been together about
a year I was awakened one night in a
little Nebraska town by human shrieks
in the elephants quarters. Rushing
to the place, I found the underkeeper
being crushed to death. AS soon as
the cowardly pachyderm saw me he
trembled in every muscle, dropped the
man and tried to run, but gave him
q lesson with my steel prod that he
never forgot. Then picked up the
man, who, 1 supposed, of course, was
dead, and I found that he had re-
ceived only q broken arm and a
broken rib as result of his kindness
to the elephant. He got we'll in few
weeks, went to the elephant and pune
tured him with steel prod until the
fellow beloved for mercy. After that
we were all together four years, but
the elephant never again attempted to
iniure either Of us. st. Louis Globe

all the Aounced and white-skirted
splendor OF the Greek national cos
tune. This costume, which would
attract crowd of boys on Broadway,
Wabash avenue or Kearney street any
day, is exactly that of ballet dancer,
tights, skirts and all. Put it on a
man, add a pair of red turned up
shoes with big pon-pons at the toes,
let the tights be somewhat bagged at
the knees, as always happens to man
no matter what sort of trousers he
wears, and surmount the whole outfit
with cap, and you have the Greek

only necessary to add that the men
who wear this outlandish outfit are
among the bravest soldiers in the
world, as they have shown on many a

Switzerland's Only General.

Switzerland has, by the death of
General Hans Herzog, lost her only
general. In the Swiss Army the high
est military title for ordinary purposes
is that of colonel, and the rank of
general is only conferred by the Gov
ernment as special honor upon those
who have commanded an army in the
field. General Herzog received this
distinction for his services in COM
manding the army of 10000 men
formed to protect the Swiss frontier
during the Franco-German war of
1870, and to which General Bourbaki's
fugitive force of $4,000 men surren-
dered in order to escape capture by
the Germans under General Won Wer.

Probably the smartest young busi-
ness men in New York are the italian
bootblacks about Broadway and Canal
street. They accost the passerby with
the usual "Shine, shine, sir?"
When one refuses to recognize their
solicitations, they become confden-
tial, and following their victim ex-
plain: "Nice-a shine, boss, nice-a
shine-only three cents" (holding up
three fngers). ..
If this appeal does not produce the
proper effects the anxious bootblack
makes 'coup." Plucking the mans
sleeve he cries out:
"Gwo centa, boss! Only two centa,
frst-a class-a shine, boss, only two
centa!' .. ..
The bootblack has learned that the
average mans heart Is not large
enough to resist such plea, and he
succeeds, in nine cases out of ten, in
inveigling the passerby to stand up
against q wall and have his shoes
blacked for "only two centa, boss p.

excellent cover for wild ducks and
other aquatic fowl. To promote the
comfort of the former and at the same
time make the collection of their eggs
easier, the villagers construct nests Of
the form shown in the illustration.
The nests are made of plated rushes,
and are hung on poles driven into the
soil, or perched between the forks of
trees. Above each group the owner
of the nests fixes pieces of colored
cloth which enable him to readily tell
bis nests from those of his neighbors.
These bits of bunting are useful also
to the birds, who keep to their own
nests. The owner goes each morning
in his boat to the nesting ground,
thrusts his arm into the bottle shaped
nests and collects their contents for
the market.

QUALITY IN STRAWBERRY PLANTs.

in planting a strawberry bed, large
or small, it is we'll to give careful con-
sideration to the fact that an amount
of work necessary to its care will be
just as great on poor soil as on rich !;
just as great, or even greater, if the
plants set out are inferior as though
of the best stock. But the yield will
be widely differentunder. these varying
