Was Tired of Life.

Paris has just lost a well-known char
acter in LIE Pere Onesime," more ia
m1liarly styled "Zim," who hanged
himself in a lumber-room of the Lycee
Louis lie Grand. For forty years he
had been a servant in that famous
school, where he had charge of the
lookup for refractory pupils, the library
and the models and copies used for
drawing lessons. Maxine Du Camp,
Paul Deroulede, N. Lepine and many
celebrities had passed through mis-
hands. Zim speculated unfortunately
on the Bourse, became deranged, and
having torn some of the drawings in
trusted to his keeping, preferred death
to the risk of dismissal.

A Wonderful Canal.

The most remarkable canal in the
world is the one between Worsley and
st. Helena, in the north of England
1t is sixteen miles long and under
ground from end to end. In Lancashire
the coal mines are very extensive. half
the county being undermined. MANY
years ago the managers of the Duke
of Bridgeport's estates thought thev
could save money by transporting the
coal underground instead of on the sur
face: therefore the canal was construct
ed, and the NINE connected and
drained at the same time.

A Volcano in Action.

Some idea of the terrors of a burst
ing volcano may be gained from the
accoun of the last eruption in Hawaii.
The crater of the volcano was filled
from 900 to 1000 feet deep with molten
lava, which finally forced its way
through a subterranean passage. II
was forty miles from here to the sea
yet this avalanche of molten rocks
reached the waters in less than two
days, destroying everything in it's track.
1t continued flowing for three weeks
heating the sea water twenty miles u
from shore.

PERISHABLE PRODUCE.

In Australia Butter Is Now Packed In
Plaster Of Paris.
There seems to be no limit to the in.
genuity bestowed upon the devising OF
means for accomplishing the transport
of the perishable produce of distant
climes to the English market. A new
method, described in the Australasian.
is that of packing butter in a box made
of six sheets of ordinary glass, all the
edges being covered over with gummed
paper. The glass box is enveloped in q
layer of plaster of paris, quarter of an
inch thick, and this is covered with
specially prepared paper. The plaster
being bad conductor Of heat, the tenn
perature inside the Theoretically sealed
receptacle remains constant, being I'M.
affected by external changes. The cost
of packing is about one pence per pound.
Butter packed in the way described at
Melbourne has been sent across the sen
to South Africa, and when the case was
opened at Kimberley, 700 miles from
Cape Town, the butter was found to DO
as sound as when it left the factory in
Victoria. Cases are now made to hold as
much as two hundredweight of butter,
and 40 hands, mostly boys and girls, are
occupied in making the glass receptacles
and covering them with plaster. The
top, or lid, however, is put on by q
simple mechanical arrangement, and is
removed by the purchaser equally east.
~. A saving of Is per cent. on freight
and packing is claimed in comparison
with the cost of frozen butter carried in
the usual way.-Scientifc American.

larva leaves the fruit, draws together
q few fragments of leaves, spins CO.
coon and in about eight or ten days
the slender brown chrysalis changes to
q yellowish brown colored moth. There
is more than a single brood and the
chrysalis of the last passes the winter
emerging as moth the next year.
The moth, as shown in the il]ustra-
ton, has an irregular patch of yellow
on the fore wings, which also consti-
tutes the color of the greater portion
of the inner parts of the hind ones;
tho thighs, breast and abdomen are
silvery white, giving the whole Of the
under side of the body pearly appear
ance. The lower parts. of the legs are
yellow. The body of the female differs
somewhat from that of the male; it
terminates in q small fattened black
brush, squarely trimmed; the preced-
ing segment, however, il of rusty
brown color above. The brush-like ap-
pendage Of the male is much larger,
formed of long narrow scales, which
vary in color in the same specimen;
some are white, others are brown or
orange, but generally all three colors
are present in one specimen. About the
only method of dealing with this pest
is to destroy the larvae of the first
brood by hand picking while the vines
are not yet too large, or cook and feed
the affected fruit to swine. Being diff
ficult to control, it is necessary that
every precaution be taken and every
insect destroyed.--Farm and Home.

GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

In growing fruit and vegetables if
large size is desired do not overcrowd,
but give each plant and specimen plenty
of room.
Most varieties of pears are finer in
flavor if they are picked and ripened in
the house rather than left on the
tree until fully ripe.
Sudden and severe pruning, such rs
taking off large quantity of wood in
single season, is apt to ruin the fruit
crop of the next season.
One rule in pruning should be to tkin
out every year all the old exhausted
wood, all weak, young shoots and all
that cannot reach full light.
The best and most profitable pruning
of raspberries and blackberries can be
done now by pinching the young canes
back to not over three feet high. I'm
necessary growth of wood is made at
the expense of fruit.
The sprouts growing around the bark
of fruit trees, even allowing that they
do no great harm, are at the least IN
slightly and should be removed without
delay. Now is good time for doing
work Of this kind.
In the orchard and for all kinds of
fruit phosphate and potash manuIes
give the best results.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.

Yield of Cheese from Milk,

With ordinary milk the yield is about
rs pounds of cured cheese for each
pound of butter fat in the milk. The
per cent. of butter fat in different milks
very nearly determines their relative
values for cheese making. Prof. Van
Slyke, of New York, found by series of
careful experiments that with milk
ranging from 3.4 per cent. to ~ per
cent, the amount to each pound of butt
ter fat was 2.72 pounds Of green cheese,
or rs pounds cured five weeks. It was
found that per cent. milk made but "a
pounds of cured cheese for each pound
Of butter fat, but the better quality of
the cheese from the richer milk was
thought to compensate for the slight
difference in quantity. It will be seen
that 100 pounds of per cent. milk made
10 pounds of cheese and 100 pounds of s
per cent. milk made IL pounds Of cheese.

THE GARDENERS SONG.

OIL q gardeners life Is as pleasant a life
As workingman's can be:
It's glad pursuit to plant the root.
And nurse the flower and tree.
His life Is set to ceaseless song,
Sweeter than poet can sing,
Warbled in notes from the feather'd threats
OF the birds. from summer to spring..
And doth he not make the widest brake
Gay as conQueror's fleet?
For his strong right hand is the magic
wand
That brings fresh flowers to our feet.
With q sneer or a frown a man may look
down
Upon many ignoble trades;
But purple and pride even dare not deride
The work Of the king Of spades.
The oldest craft known he claims a. his
own,
The only work Heaven thought well
Should be done by a man ere trouble be-
gan,
Or the grand old gardener fell.
Then the men Of the spade should be proud
o: their trade,
Invading no crowded mart,
Whose daily toll gives wealth to the SOIL
And Joy to the home and heart.

LONGS TO BE A SLAVE.
A Southern Negro Who Wants to Go Late
BONDAGE Again.

A Southern Negro Who Wants to Go Late
Bondage Again.
Some of tho letters that Mayor
Thatcher gets are curiosities in their
way. People from out of town who
wish to find out anything in the city OF
Albany invariably write letters to the
mayor. It doesn't make any difference
what the information desired relates to,
the mayor, they think, ought to know
says the Albany Argus.
A letter was received from a negro
away down south, who, Mr.. Monahan
says, has been dead for 80 years-noe
literally q corpse, but deceased as far
an his grip on hustling, progressive
nineteenth century life was concerned.
This man believes that slavery is still
an institution in this great land, and
is ignorant Of tho glorious fact that tho
masters whip hasn't cracked for 80
years. He never heard Of tho president'a
proclamation, never knew that the north
had whipped tho south, and that 1,o0o,-
600 lives had been sacrificed to free the
slave. In his letter to the mayor this
colored man asked to be brought north
and sold back into slavery. There Is no
question that he found it impossible ia
1.-Two in the south, and longed again for
tho irresponsibilty from self-support
Of slavery days which he thought still
dourished in the south.
