Mulching and Green Croppinc.

To mulch is to cover tho earth thick
~ with straw, say, n foot deep. To
green crop is to plant some crop, like
COW peas or clover, to be plowcd under
later ON or permitted to rot on the sur
faco. Tho effect is to enrich and keep
the land cool, clear Of weeds and noxious
grasses. No crop should be planted that
will exhaust tho soil. Tho New Orleans
Times Democrat says:
Oats are probably tho worst and COW
peas the best green crop for soiling
purposes. For dry mulch rice straw,
marsh grass, pine straw, etc, arc ex-
cellcnt Mulching is especially valu-
able to orange growers on the sandy
soils along tho Mississippi sound. 1t
increases the size and quality of the
fruit, promotes the growth and vigor of
the tree and is in many ways of great
benefit. We have seen orange orchards
near Biloxi and Pass Christian whose
leaves curlod up and i'll many cases
dropped off, owing to tho intense heat
Of summer. This docs not happen on
the lower coast, owing to the super
abundance Of moisture; hence surface
cultivation Is better than mulching, and
green cropping has almost become ne
cessity, owing to the immense growth
Of grass and weeds which thrive SO lux.
uriantly i'll tho rich alluvial soils.

A Poisonous Monarch.

Amonarch among poisonous snakes is
the enormous hamadryad, which grows
to be as much as Ia feet in length and
is so fierce that twill sometimes attack
and even chase any ono who ventures
near to its nest Native snake charmers,
who will handle tho fierccst cobras fear
lessly, arc usually loath to touch a ha-
madryad, though I have occasionally
seen large specimen Of this vcnomous
reptile in their bags. 1t lays its eggs in
heap of decaying leaves, which it col
lects for the purpose, and sits upon the
top to keep off intrudcrs A road through
the Jungle will sometimes be closed
against all Corners by pair of these
snakes, and woe betide tho unfortunate
traveller who stumblcs unawarcs upon
tho nest Tho hamadryad feeds largely
upon other snakes, but it is fortunately
somewhat rare Curiously enough, it is
not always aggressive. Indeed it some
times happens that it is quito unwilling
to strike Specifically it is not unlike
harmless rock snake, and not very
long ago i'll BurInah man brought one

Its captor, who had been familiarly pull

An Historic Pen.

Whenever the ex-empress of the French
writes about her lamented husband, she
invariably uses the diamond pen which
signed the treaty of Paris. Each of the
II plenipotentiaries wanted to keep the
pen with which he signed the Paris trea-
ty as memento of the occasion. They,
however, yielded to tho request of the
Empress Eugene, who begged that only
one pen should be used, which should be
retained by her as souvenir. Only one
pen was accordingly used. 1t was Il
