AFLOAT ON THE GOLDEN HORN.

Truly l know of no fairer or sweet
er I, s~ting-place in life's journey than
the valley of the Sweet Waters above
the Golden Horn" This fair recon-
mendation from the pen Of a traveller
who has journeyed to many pleasant
places makes the Sweet Waters of
Europe II Of the objective points of
every tourist fortunate enough to be
IN Cnstantinople during the warm
spring days, when this resort is the
most f~requented. To be in the fash
ion, you should drive out there in a
smart trap and join the fashionable
cavalcade, moving slowly along the
wide shaded road at the side of the
river as solemnly and as seriously as
do the stolid English men and women
who are exhibited by their coachmen
each afternoon during the season in
Hyde park for the amusement and de-
lectati.n Of the humble pedestrian.
However, the very fact that you can
do this in Rotten Row, or the Bots
de Boalogne, or the Prater, or Central
Park, may decide you to try a more
novel method Of conveyance. Then
you may make the acquaintance of a
Turkish kaik.
The Turkish kaik is the lightest,
swiftest, strongest, most comfortable
and most beautiful boat in the world,
and you first attain to the knowledge
of perfect motion on the water when
yOu lean back on the comfortable
cushions, and your whitehead kaikjis
bend their backs to the hight and
beautifully balanced oars. These oars
have long slender blades, cut in the
shape of a crescent at the ends, while
great rounded bulbs just below the
handle balance the weight of the
blades. There are no oar-lockS, the
oar being passed through a thong of
rawhide, which is fastened to a single
pin driven in the gunwale, and a lib
eral application of tallOw at the point
of contact renders the stroke abso-
lutely n~oiseless, and without a jerk
at the beginning or end, as the oar
slides easily through the thong.
BLESSED shall he be who shall take
SuIu UIC D1OItDtt.
More blessed is he, you may echo, who
in these peaceful times may glide
along the Sweet Waters of Europe,
seeing on either side the bronzed and
frank-faced Turks enjoying their sim
pie amuSements, or smoking their
peaceful narghiles in dreamy content,
watching the setting sun as it throws
a rosy light yer the dancing waters
of the Golden Horn and tips the slen-
der minarets with flame; and as the
color fades from the water, you may
catch the faint echo of muezzin's call
to prayer, and dusky figures along the
shore turn toward Mecca and pros
trate themselves, knowing that they
are one day nearer to the groves and
cool waters and the everlasting gar
dens that the prophet has promised for
the faithful.

The Eddy Argus considers the follow
ing MS most important:
When to apply water is governed by
the needs of the soil and the plant.
The soil needs IL all through the win
ter months. The plant also needs It
toward the end of the winter. This
much, l think, we may safely decide
upon. The moisture felt in the soil from
the winter irrigation should be suffi-
cient to start the spring growth. Now,
as 75 per cent uf the growth Of nearly
every plant coniists of water, it follows
that 1t must be well supplied with this
ut the time when the great growth is
being made This should be in middle
or late spring. Also at this time are our
drying winds most prevalent, and the
quick evaporation from the leaves has
to be met by an equal supply Of mois.
ture from the rootlets, and here let me
remark that for every cubic foot Of wa.
ter evaporated from the leaves cubic
foot Of air has to enter the soil to re-
place the moisture taken out, and II the
air cannot enter freely the moisture can
not come out freely, and the plant will
wither or burn, no matter IL there are
oceans Of water below. It is therefore
as essential to keep the soil open as to
supply water. If "a plant appears to want
water, examine the soil six inches from
the surface and see If it be dry II not
dry, it II pRobably cultivation That The
plant requires.
During the hottest months os snm.
mer the plant growth is partly suspend
ed and the tissues are hardening, and
it is probable that little if any irrigation
will be needed. The fall rains will rem
der irrigation still further unnecessary.
After cropping it would be very desir-
able and think would pay we'll to ir-
rigate and plow, leaving the land rough
and moist for the winter frosts, except,
Of course, where it is desired to put in q
crop such as oats or rye.
Except for these general rules, il
would be misleading to say when to wa
ter. One plant can stand and require
water enough to kill another plant. A
tree may flourish we'll under a liberal
supply Of water, but 1t may not bear
fruit. Water enough to rot one tubel
may be needed by another. A good deal
Of experience may be saved, 1t is true,
by knowledge of botany. If you learn
the natural surroundings and climate Of
certain class of plants for instance,
you will know more or less what to de
in the matter Of irrigating them, but
the only true way is to study the needs
Of each individual plant
