DIPLOMATIC DISPATCHES.
How They Are Guarded and Counts
Guarded In European Courts.

How They Are Guarded and Counter
Guarded In ISuropsan Courts.
To abstract a paper or steal a dispatch
from one of the embassies is not by any
means an easy matter. To say that it
would be an impossible feat would savor
OF exaggeration, for in these days of scien-
tiic burglary there is nothing impossible
under the sun. Up to the time of writing,
however, such an instance ID unknown.
In the encourage Of every embassy there
are one or more private detectives who
are invariably gentlemen Of official or mil
itary rank. Notwithstanding, papers Of
comparatively infnitesimal importance are
environed with the same precautions as
Others Of untold value. The documents
are all inclosed in an iron safe, the key Of
which is held by the ambassador or min
lister only, the latter taking all response
bility and acting as charge d,affaires in
the absence Of the former.
Dispatches do not remain long at the
embassies. At given date, the length of
which varies according to the respective
distances q the countries represented, a
special messenger is sent to fetch them.
"A weekly call is made at the British en-
bassys but at the American and foreign
ones naturally alonger interval is allowed
to elapse
The messenger from the foreign Office
brings bag which is fastened with pat
ent lock aud cannot be opened except by
the key ~ Possession of the ambassador
or the charge d,affaires. When the bag is
cleared OF its contents, the return dispatch
es which the ambassador sends to his gov
ernment araplaeed In it and carefully CON
cealed. Itsis then closed and returned to
the messenger, who conveys it to the min
lister for foreign affairs, who opens it with
. duplicate key.
II the documents are of special impor-
tance. they are not intrusted to the ordi-
nary messenger. g ne one in the imme-
diate entouEage Of the embassy takes
charge Of them instead. No one is allowed

are placed, and visitors are only received

THE GENUINE AND THE SHAM.

Every good thing has its host of imita.
tors; every genuine article its counterfeits.
The imitators always choose the most
valuable and popular article to counterfeit,
SO that when they claim their sham to b
equal, or as good, or the same as 'sso-and-
sos" the public may depend upon it that
'So-and-So's" article is the best of the
kind.

est ambition to initiate The difference
between the genuine and these limitations

An Oriental story.

:
An eastern king was once in need of 9
faithful servant and friend. He gave
notice that he wanted man to do q
days work, and two men came and asked
to be employed. He engaged them both
for certain fixed wages and set them to
work to fill basket with water from a
neighboring well, saying he would come
in the evening and see their work. He
then left them to themselves and went
away.
After putting in one or two bucket
fuls one Of the men said:
what is the good of doing this use
less work? As soon as we put the wa
ter in on one side it runs out on the
other"
The other man answered:
But we have our days wages, haven't
we? The use of the work is the masters
business, not ours"
81 am not going to do such FOOLS
work, " replied the other, and throwing
down his bucket he went away.
The other man continued his work till,
about sunset, he exhausted the well.
Looking down into it he saw something
shining at the bottom. He let down his
bucket once more and drew up precious
diamond ring.
Now ! see the use Of pouring water
into basket" he exclaimed TO himself.
''If the bucket had brought up the ring
before the well was dry, 1t would have
been found in the basket. The labor was
not useless, after all. ]"
But he had yet to learn why the king
had ordered this apparently useless task.
1t was to test their capacity for perfect
obedience, without which no servant Is
reliable.
At this moment the king came up to
him, and as he bade the man keep the
ring he said:
Thou hast been faithful in little
thing; now Isee I can trust thee ii great
things. Henceforward thou shalt stand
at my hand. Sunday Hour.

A. L. Crosby in letter to Rural
New Yorker writes:
Narrowing wheat in spring is one Of
those farm operations that may result
benefcially or it may not, and it can't
be foreseen whether it will or not in
any given season. But believe on sandy
soil itwould be as well to dispense with
the narrowing, for such soil does not re-
quire losening up, and if the clover seed
be sown at the proper time, when the
soil is full of cracks, it will not require
any covering except what it gets from
subsequent freezings and thawings of
the soil. But if one determine to try the
spring narrowing Of wheat the proper
time to do it is after the ground gets
settled and will work nicely. Unless the
soil be very light, straight tooth har
row will be tho kind to use. If the soil
be light and friable, the slant tooth har-
row will do. The clover seed would bet
ter be sown before narrowing because
that late in the spring it will have moth
ing hut the rain to cover it unless har.
rowed in. don't believe in narrowing
wheat at all in the spring. if timothy
was sown the fall previons, as the har-
rowing will kill good deal of the

HARNESS Fol, WORK IN ORCHARDS.
to start tops too high rather than too
low, thereby exposing great length of
trunk to injuries of sun and wind and
elevating the top beyond the reach of
piokers and of sprays. For most trees
the ideal length of trunk is under four
feet rather than above it, and implo-
ments now in the market allow of this
lower training.
Trees which have low tops or which
hang low with fruit can be reached by
separating the halves of any of the dou-
BILE harrows by means of long double
tree, SO that the halves when adjusted
run from four to six feet from each 9TH
er. A cutaway harrow rigged in this
way will work away the back furrows
from under the trees during the season.
All cultivators or harrows with high
handles, wheels or levers should be dis
carded if orchards are worked when the
limbs bend low with fruit.
This labor Of working about trees is
greatly facilitated by the use of har-
nesses which have no metal projections.
There should be no names with elevated
tops, and the turrets on the back pads
should be simply leather loops. The back
pad itself should be reduced to single
wide strap entirely devoid of wadding.

traces, but drawing by single chain

A Word About Ducks.

When ducks have been properly cared
for, they often begin laying as early as
January, though February is the more
usual time. The eggs from ducks bring
nearly double the price of hens eggs in
some markets, and as the duck will lay
from 100 to 140 eggs she is q very valu
able fowl. In feeding ducks do not give
them too much grain to the exclusion of
other foods. Cooked turnips, with o
small quantity Of ground meat added
and enough ground oats and cornmeal
to make the mess palatable, will make
q cheap meal and answer all purposes,
but il they are laying we'll they should
be fed three times day, beginning ear
ly il the morning. They must have ami
NAL food in some form, or they will not
lay we'll. Weak legs indicate not only
that the ducks are overfed, but when
the quarters are damp they will some
times get the rheumatism. It is best to
allow them to run out for exercise when
It can be done, and their quarters should
be clean, with plenty Of out straw on
the floor.

CULTIVATION OF ORCHARDS.

Directions by nm Expcrt--Tiow TO Cultivate
Close to Low Topped Trees.
The best tillago is that which begins
carly in the season, and which keeps
the surface stirred until late summer.
The first few years turn the land rather
deep with plow ut the first spring cul-
tivation. In general, level culture is
best. This is secured by plowing one
year to tho trees and the following year
away from them, one year north and
south and tho next year east and west.
It is somewhat difficult to plow from
large trees, however, and with the cul-
tivators or harrows now in use it is easy
to work the soil away by Subsequent cul-
tivation, allowing the furrow to be
thrown toward the tree each spring, but
It is always advisable, upon fairly level
ground, to plow the orchard in opposite
directions in alternate years.
The difficulty Of working close to the
trees has had the effect of encouraging
too high pruning. There is a tendency
