BeIgium's First Breach of Promise.

For the first time in the history of Bel
GUM the principle of monetary com
pensation for breach of promise of mar
riage has just been established. The
judges of the court of appeal were
grudging in their admission of the prin
ciple, but there is no doubt as to the
meaning of their judgment. The test
case was that of Il young woman who
through her father, brought Il breach of
promise action against a young Dutch
man residing in Brussels. The father
obtained verdict for $500 francs dam
ages, plus 5000 francs for what was
called ''moral prejudice" In their judg-
ment the judges said that either of the
two parties to an engagement might
back out of it, although not at the last
moment. III the case they had to con.

Cultivation Of Almonds.

The hard-shelled and bitter almonds
thrive wherever the peach does, and
as far North as the western counties
of this State, but sweet or soft
she'll varieties appear to be moro ten
der, but will thrive almost anywhere
south of Virginia in light, warm soils.
We do not know of any good reason
why the finest varieties of the almond
should not be grown as extensively as
the demand will warrant in the South,
for both land and labor are cheap and
abundant enough to make the indus
try profitable. We import on an
average SIX millions of pounds of
shelled and unshelled almonds annu-
ally, every pound of which could be
easily produced in this country. The
advantage Of almond culture over that
OF the peach is that the crop can be
gathered, stored and sent to market
at the growers convenience, and not,
as with tho peach, when ripening or
not at all. There has always been q
sure and steady market for almonds,
no hurrying off of the crop to prevent
loss, resulting in frequent gluts and
prices so low as to bring the shipper
into debt for the cost of freight. Iii
certainly time that Southern planters
began to think of other crops besides
cotton and tobacco, and the almond
is one which gives promise of the best
results. The almond tree requires the
same treatment in every respect as the
peach and may be raised from the
nuts, and extra choice varieties null
tiplied by budding upon peach, al
mond or plum stocks. The fresh i'm
ported almonds can be obtained at
this season in our markets, and if
trees are wanted these nuts should be
plated this fall in shallow trenches,
dropping a nut every ten or twelve
inches, then covering to the depth Of
two inches with fine rich soil. When
the seedlings are one year old they
may be transplanted into the orchard,
and pruned in the same manner as
usually practiced with the peach tree.

Biggest Library In the World.

The CITY of Paris surpasses the world
In the provision made for the educa-
ton of its people. The free municipal
libraries of Paris are incompatible.
They are situated in conspicuous
portions OF the city, and number moro
than fifty. They are circulating libra
ries, and lend out music, drawings
and designs, and the care taken of
these sources of education is one Of
the evidences of the usefulness of
these libraries TO the people. The
Bibhotheque Rationale contains
vast collection of books, pamphlets
and rare documents, exceeding 3,O00.-
600 of volumes. 1t WAS founded by
st. Louis in the thirteenth century.
1t surpasses the British Museum
library in the number of books, but for
usefulness, accessibility and facilities
accorded to readers it is far inferior.
This great collection is in partially
chaotic state. There is no completed
catalogue of this great collection.
One has been made of the additions
since 1870, and there is an incomplete
catalogue OF the historical works, but
the books and catalogues are hard to
find. While the collection dates its
existence to the twelfth century, it's
principal accessions were made at the
time of the revolution of '93, when
the Government con6scated the
property of the old aristocracy and
the collections in the houses of the
nobility and the bishops and declared
them national property. From the
surrounding provinces they were car
ried 20 Paris, and most of them went
to the National Library. These
rapidly created the chaos from which
1t has never recovered. The defect Is
most serious one, and the formalities
which are encountered by those seek
ing to use this immense collection I'M
psir its usefulness for the student and
the worker. The officials of the
Bibliotheque Rationale reverse the
action of the British Museum, which
regards all visitors as honest, by
starting on the assumption that every
reader comes there to purloin book,
and hence he is met by all sorts OF
formalities from officials in various
uniforms, who keep lynx-eyed
watchfulness on all readers. The
library is open from 10 n. IN. to
p. M, and during that time no one
can leave without returning all books,
and even his own notebook must he

Mysterious Loaf of Bread.

twenty-five years ago Thomas Mon
ahan purchased farm in Livingston
County, near Portage Bridge, says a
letter from Bath, n. Y. He has lived
on the farm ever since On part of the
property was piece of heavy timber,
which Monahan cleared off twenty
years ago. In field where this tim
Der stood MonNhan was digging a
ditch few days ago. To do this he
had to dig through a deposit of gravel
four feet deep. At that depth he I'M
covered what he at first thought was
big stone, nearly round, but on strik-
ing it with his pick to loosen it ne was
surprised to gee the pick pass clear
through it without making any resist
ance. Monahan then picked up the
supposed stone, and his amazement
was great to find it to be a loaf of
bread. The loaf was in perfect condl-
ton, even TO the crisp, brown crust.
1t was as soft, light and moist inside
rs if it had just come from the oven.
The loaf broke in two as he was re-
moving it from its bed in the gravel.
He fed half of it to his dog, who ate
it greedily. The other half of the loaf
Monahan carried to his house, where
it is now, q wonder TO the neighbor-
hood. Monahan declares that the
ground where the loaf was found had
never been broken during his quarter
OF century on the place. Chicago

lie Found a New Grass.

''At this season of the year when the
farmers are all gathering in the harv-
est of corn and cotton and grass and
hay twas peculiarly interesting to me
the other day to see a sample of "A new
grass that has been discovered and
grown to n success by Hon. Frank
Colley, of Washington, said we'll
known middle Georgia planter in the
Kimball House corridor the other day.
cit is peculiar sort of grass that Mr..
Colley has run upon and one of the
most desirable things for stock and
cattle have ever seen. The grass has
tall stalk similar to the oat and has IL
tophead something like cross be-
tween the oat and common swamp
grass. 1t is very strong aud healthy
plant and the best part of it is that it
grows both winter and summer. 1t
can be harvested as hay and put aside
and still the fields will grow green in
winter time. The seed, ! am told, is
n very excellent food for chickens and
poultry and that it is the best kind of
stock feed. am glad to see that Mr..
Colley has introduced the grass
throughout middle Georgia and that
he is receiving letters of inquiry about
it from all sections of the South. Mr..
Colley tells me that he found the grass
idly and aimlessly growing out in the
streets of Washington Immediately in
front of the old Toombs mansion. -
