Her Maiden Fears.

GeOrSe.
There was an a~nxiety-just a little
of it-in the girls tone.
What is it, love?"
II read something in the paper to-
day that alarmed me-"
What was it?'
Niagara Falls is wearing away at
the rate of more than twelve inches a
year; and in the course of some hun
dreds of years it will De gone entirely"

She laid her head on his shoulder and
sobbed.
In that time-boo-hoo! Fully fifty
inches Of the Falls have been wor
away--boo-hoo!-and I'm afraid they'll

Pockets.

Japanese folks have six or eight peck
cts cunningly inserted in the cuffs OF
their wide sleeves. These pockets are
always filed with a curious miscellany
peculiar to the droll title people. AS
common as Irvine in Young Americas
pocket is the prayer amulet written on
delicate sheets of rice paper and COM
posed by the BONES. In accordance
with the abiding and funny faith of the
Japanese women these prayers are
swallowed, paper and all, like a pill in
cases of mental and physical distress.
Another essential, missing, is
a number of small squares of silky
paper, which is put to the most unex-
pected purpose-to hold the steam of
a lotus or lily, to dry y teacup, wipe
away a tear or blow the absurd little
nose of the doll like little woman. The
very smartest people in Japan use this
style OF handkerchief for practical pur-
poses.

potash If applied during the winter
will produce potatoes Of good quality
and flavor, in no way inferior to those
produced by sulphate.
1t would not be well, however, TO
make a positive statement that muri-
ate Of potash is always preferable to
sulphate; this would have to be con-
firmed more fully by a larger number
Of field trials and by carefully con-
Quoted experiments. The potato crop
is an important n in nearly every
state of the Union, and experiment
stations could not select a better sub
.ject for study than that Of finding
the most efficient fertilizers for pota-
toes.
The following application per acre
for potatoes is recommended by the
Connecticut experiment station: Fou
hundred pounds Of superphosphate,
$50 pounds of muriate of potash, 400
pounds of nitrate of soda or 800 pounds
of cotton seed meal.

Select Seed Corn While Husking.

The progressive farmer always breeds
from his choicest stock, and plants seed
selected from the very best of the crop.
By this means he overcomes the con-
slant tendency TO degeneration, and
secures strains of varieties and breeds
which are best adapted to the soil II
climate of his farm. This is especially
true of maize, of which only the best
filed ears from vigorous stacks should
be used for seed. AT husking time
this selection can be made to the great
est advantage. Whenever Il choice ear
from a good stalk is found, the huSker
should throw it into q separate pile,
or into the front of the wagon. When
unloading. these best ears may be then
thrown into barrels or boxes. and when
%re-sorted may be stored in Il dry room
for the winter. Such continuously Sc
lectcd seed cOrn will soon make a
ncighborhood reputation for yearly i'm
pruyemcnt.

How Gunpowder Helped to Plant
Tree on a Rocky Crag.

now HelnGd To Plant
Trees on a Rocky Crag.
Alexander Hasmyth, the landscape
painter, was a mar fruitful in expe-
dents. To his mind. the fact that a
thing could not be done in the ordin-
airy manner was no reason why 1t
should be given up. His son relates
the following interesting example of
his ingenuity.
him as to some improvements which
he desired to make in his woodland
scenery near Dunkeld. Among other
things, a certain rocky crag needed TO
be planted with trees, to relieve the
grim barrenness Of it's appearance.
The question was how to do it, as it
was impossible for any man to climb
the crag, in order to set seed or
plants in the cleft Of the rocks.
A happy idea struck my father. HAY
ing observed in front of the castle a
pair Of small %cannons, used for firing
salutes on great days, 1t occurred to
him to turn them to account. A tin
smith in the village was ordered to
make O number Of canisters with GOV.
ers. The cannisters were filed with all
sorts of suitable tree seeds. The can
mons were loaded and the canistnrs
were fired up against the high face OF
the rock. They burst and scattered the
seed in all directions. Some years af
ter, when my father revisited the place
he was delighted to see that his
scheme of planting by artillery had
proved successful; the trees were
flourishing in all the recesses of the
rock.-London Answers.

Clubberly (%groaning)-I should say

an awful time with it.

Clubberly-Just like mine. 1t will
take about fifteen or twenty minutes
to pull that tooth, old fellow.
Castleton turning pale)-What! AS
long as that?
Clubberly (cheerfully)-Yes, sir. You
sec, he has first got to prepare the
tooth: that Is, he probes around the
roots with an instrument to loosen 1T
up.
Castleton-He does, does he?
Clubberly-Oh, yes. The prongs will
be imbedded in the jaw bone, a piece OF
which usually comes out anyway, but
he tries to avoid this. Oh, he's a good
man. He's the kind Of a man that
never gives up. If that tooth of yours
should break off still more at the first
pull, he would keep right at 1t. He
may have to take it out in two or three
pieces, old fellow.
Castleton-Is he far from here?
Clubberly-Oh, no. Right around the
corner.
Castleton-All right. But I want tt

Clubberly-What for?
Castleton-I thought before I wen
around to that dentist of yours, ole
man, that I would take a good stiff dost

The Morphine Habit in France,

DR.. Jules Rochard, in the Union Med
icale, draws a gloomy picture Of the
increase of the morphine habit in
France and elsewhere. The habit, he
finds, becomes incurable at the end of
six months of indulgence. The fair
sex and the doctors are, in his opinion,
the most deeply addicted to morphine.
He draws an unpleasant comparison
between the behavior of each kind of
delinquent. Women, he says, delight
in declaring how tn " indulge in this
vice, and show ornamental hypodermic
syringes to their friends, DR.. Notet
states that a lady, having broken the
needle of her syringe in a remote coun
try village, wounded her skin with
scissors and thrust the stump of the
needle into the wound, injecting in this
till n new syringe arrived from
Paris. London Public Opinion.

THE COBURG FAMILY.

Before Many Years 1t VIII Reign
Over the Most of Europe.
From the accession Of the prince Of
Wales the British royal family, by
British custom, will be called the Co.
burgs, and it had been the lot Of the
little Lady Alexandra Duff or any fut-
urc brother of hers, to found q new
line, that would have been called Ii
Duffs, alike by historians and by the
people, a prospect which inspired 10
pleasure. The Coburgs are better
liked; they are supposed, and so far
rightly supposed, to ACCOMMODATE
themselves more easily than any other
reigning family to constitutional Lon
aroby. they are royal by descent, and
they have had the strangest good for
tune in their alliances.
Within q few years the three greatest
thrones in the world. those Of Great
Britain, Germany and Russia, will be
filled by descendants of the prince
consort, while seven minor thrones,
those of Belgium, Portugal, Gre zee,
Hesse, SaXc-Gotha, Rumanla and Bull
%garia-one of which two last may reign
at Constantinople-will all be filled by
men of Cohurg blood. A position OF
that kind is a very great, though a
very REGULAR one, and when the change
occurs-may it be long first-the Eng
lish will have no need to explain
whence their new dynasty springs OF
how it got there. The feeling for ped
igree, though it is inexplicable, for after
all the founder is usually the greatest
of his line, is permanent and indie
structible; and there vas therefore Uni
versal pleasure when it was announced
that the duchess of York had been
safely delivered of n son and that the
line of Coburg was, humanity speaking,
destined to continue.
England, some people think, will be
q republic before the new baby be
comes a monarch, say fifty years hence.
but dynasties are long-lived. England
mas been nearer republicanism than she
is now, and within the time of men
etill living a new rampant has built it
self around the monarchy. When the
royal standard is pulled down the en-
pire will be pulled down, too, and it
is the empire that the people delight in
rather than in any dream Of a fedora
ton in the English speaking peoples,
which would transfer all political in
itiative from London to some city
across the Atlantic. We do not see why
language should be much of a bond,
and we do not see that the Spanish
speaking republics are no friends to
Spain. For anything any one can fore
cast, not only may the newest Coburg
reign in Great Britain and India, but
his tenth descendant. The hold of the
word republic over the imagination
of mankind has not increased of late
years, nor the evidence that democracy
and monarchy are inherently incompat.

Clean Water for Poultry.

Every poultry owner has realized
how difficult it is to keep the drinking
water clean where the fowls car stand
Oh the edge Of the vessel or roost above
it. An ingenious plan for avoiding this
is shown in the accompanying engrav-
ing. A broad bracket is nailed to a
post or to one of the studding timbers
and OF. the under side of it is horizontal
ly fastened a square piece Of broad
board which serves as a shelf to keep
the droppings from falling into the
drinking vessel below. The vessel
should be of such a height that the fowl
cannot get between it and the shelf
so as to roost on the edge of the YES
sci. Blocks may be placed below it
for this purpose. At the same time the
shelf should be sufficiently high that the
fowl need only to stoop very slightly
to drink. This simple contrivance will

M%urfate or Sulphate of Potash for
Potatoes.

Potatoes.
.Muriate of potash is generally the
cheapest form in which potash can be
bought for agricultural purposes, and
from an economical point of view
il would recommend itself to use this
salt as a source of potash in preference
to other potash compounds. Expert
ence has shown, however, that fertiliz-
ers containing much chlorine, among
them muriate of potash, will act in
~juriously upon the quality Of potatoes
by producing soggy tubers.
While such effect has undoubtedly been
observed in numerous instances it is Il
notable fact that results of recent eX-
periments tended to show that muriate
of potash under certain conditions may
be used upon potatoes with no injury
whatever to the quality. while as to
quantity it was undoubtedly superior

Prof. Collier, of the Geneva, \. Y,

clay soils, where potash may be said
to be present in considerable quantity.
Q. That while potassium sulphate helps
the crop, it is far less effective than
