are extremely poor keepers Squashes

soil at the time OF blowing. The soil
should then be thoroughly hardened
and hills cut out not less than eight
feet apart, and for the stronger
growing varieties ten feet is none too
far. From 500 to 100 pounds of phos-
plate per acre should be scattered
around the hills and mixed in the
sol. In planting the best plan is to
drop eight or ten seeds to hill.
When all are terminated these may
be thinned out to three or four. At
ter the second hoeing from 500 to
500 pounds more OF phosphate should
be scattered between the rows. thus
providing abundant food during the
growing season. Hills struck out in
regular rows may be cultivated both
ways and much hand hoeing saved.

CANINE KNOWLEDGE or TIME.


Stories which seem 20 Prove Wondsrful
Percsption OF This Kind.
A correspondent of the Boston
Transcript recently sent communi-.
cation asking II dogs know time, and
then related some stories showing
that they do. One OF these stories
Ia about collie which starts every
afternoon to meet his master, who
always comes on the 5:30 train.
Trains are continually coming and
yoing, and wbistling and ringing,
but Pete pays no attention to any
but this one. As soon as its whistle
Is heard he begins to bark joyfully,
and never maxes mistake. Another
dog became so much accustomed to
going to the schoo.house every morn
Ing with his little master that, when
the boy was absent for several weeks,
the dog still went on going to school,
arriving punctually at 8 o'clock ev-
cry morning. Moreover, he never
went on Saturday or Sunday. With
regard to the first case it might be
replied, perhaps, by skeptical per-
son that the dog was more likely to
be able to distinguish the special
whistle OF the locomotive which drew
the $50 train than to know il by tie
hour of the day. And yet there is
no doubt that dogs do know when
certain hour arrives at which some
thing regular and accustomed takes
place. The second case seems to
prove this very thing. There Is a
case on record in which a doctor who
was accustomed to visit a certain
village at certain hour on a certain
day each week, always found dog
of his acquaintance waiting for him
outside the town, and 1t was proved
that the dog never came to the place
at any other day or hour. Evidently
all that can be said In explanation OF
such cases Is that animals are sus-
ceptible Of having periods or circles
Of time established in their intelli-
gence by use and that their ignorance
of timepieces only serves to make the
instinct the keener. 1t is we'll known
that men who have never possessed
watches and who work or hunt habit
ually at a distance from clocks are
very expert at estimating the lapse
Of time. Perception Of this kind un.
doubtedly may he cultivated in an
intelligent animal as well as in man.

Many Kinds of Chinese Language.

A writer holds that Chinese lam
guage" is misnomer. There is" he
says. mo such thing as a Chinese lam
guage any more than there is a Euro
pean language. A Canton man can
not understand an Annoy man, and
have seen two Cinnamon sitting to-
gether with third one acting as in
terpreter. Pidgeon English is the
common tongue of commerce. It has a
vocabulary Of less than LOCO words,
but is sufficiently flexible to answer
any purpose" Were China but an
island, or series of islands, instead of
half of a large continent, and were it
thus open on all sides to the omnipres-
ent language-carrying British steamer,
it is within the bounds OF probability
that pidgeon English would ere now
have replaced the national tongue to
such an extent as to cause intense
alarm to reign in the Chinese Chau-
whistle camp.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
