Flogroil for His Criticism.

1t is net generally known that tho
present Shah of Persia is not only
prose writer of considerable merit. but
has also some pretensions to the cher
acter of a poet. Like the German
King. who, according to Carlyle, de-
clared himself to be above grammar,
SO does the Persian monarch consider
himself above criticism; yet, like all
poets, he is glad to lend an ear to it
when it is favorable.
One day, however, having compile.
ted a poem which particularly delighted
him, he deigned to read it to one Of
the most prominent men of letters at
tached to his household. "What do
you think Of it2" he asked. after read
ing his verses aloud. 81 do not alto
gether like the poem, was the candid
reply. "What an ass you are to say
sol" replied the offended sovereign,
and there was certainly much wisdom
in the royal words, for the misguided
critic was forthwith ordered to the
stables to be fogged.
A few days later the Shah, having
written another poem once more de-
sired to hear the opinion of the learned
scribe whom he had consulted before.
Hardly had he read few lines of his
latest lucubration when the learned
man turned abruptly away and pre-
pared to run out of the room. "Where
are you going?" thundered his ma
jesty, "Back to the stables" cried the
critic in desperation. So amused was
the King OF Kings by this repartee
that he forgave the delinquent and
forebore to have him fogged second

localities near to large towns where
usually quick aud steady market can
be found fer sumner and autumn
apples, early varieties will be found
most profitable for the reason that
early varieties come into bearing
young, are more productive, and are
handled with less trouble and expense.
Early sorts are quickly perishable and
cannot be held over for future sales as
readily as winter varieties, in case of a
glut in the market
Few varieties of apples have a wide
general adaptation for commercial
planting. The intending planter Of
an orchard can do no better than con-
suit his neighbors who are practical

varieties succeed best aud pay the

known only within q limited range OF
territory, succeeds far better within
its range than any of the standard
sorts Where such varieties have been
we'll tested and can be obtained, plant
fair proportion of them. As rule,
it is better to purchase nursery stock
propogated as near as possible tother
conditions being equa0 to the place
where it is to be finally planted. II
sometimes requires number of years
for young trees to recover, IL they
ever do fully, from abrupt changes in
climate and soil. II trees are to be
procured from a distance il is better
to buy those grown farthest to the
north in preference to those grown to
the south.
Buy nursery stock direct from the
grower when possible, as there is less
likelihood of getting varieties not true
to name. Varieties sometimes get un.
accountably mixed and mistakes often
occur with the most carefully nursery
men. When stock passes through the
hands of one or more dealers who
generally know little and care less
about names, the danger is still
greater. Insist on receiving the
varieties ordered and do not let the
nurseryman substitute some other
variety equally as good" that you

on plea of slight indisposition and
went upstairs. Their father and
mother followed, and one was heard
to whisper that she found whole

and they would have an evenings fun
reading them. Safe in their room, the

watched to see tho fun. Letter after

Experiments in letting sap stand for
several days before boiling, altering

The sirups from soft naples were
somewhat inferior to those OF rock

ldlesyncracies OF Fish.

Another example of the idiosyn-
cracies and cleverness Of fish was dis
oussed last night at the weekly meet
ing Of the Piscatorial Society in the
HolhoYn Restaurant. The leaping
powers of river fish formed the sub.
iect of debate, and instances were
given Of the heights which salmon, as
we'll as the meaner kinds, are capable
OF clearing. One gentleman mem
toned fish which once, when it was
pursued by voraoious pike, leaped
from tho water to the bank, where it
remained for a considerable time
squirting round bush Watching it's
enemy's movements. When it saw
the pike start away after another vic-
tim it still waited until it imagined
the foe to be considerable distance
on, when it quietly dropped itself into
the river again, and swan in an oppo-
site direction. This concluded the
debate, and without comment the
kettle was handed to the narrator

LATE TURKEYS,

bAAG xOaAExSs
While it is generally an advantage
to have the turkeys Matched as early
as it can be done safely, there is no
need to feel discouraged about those
that come later in the season. Last
year we had brood hatched as late
as the middle of August by a hen
which stole her nest and then looked
after her brood to such good purpose
that three months later they came up
to the barn with the rest of the flock
in better condition than some Matched
q month earlier and on whose bringing
up We had expended our best care.
We did not market these late birds
until after the Christmas holidays,
but they brought a better price then
than the early Matched birds sold for
at Thanksgiving, when the market was
swamped by an enormous supply of
birds, fit and unfit. which many tur-
key raisers havemistakenly rushed for.

buzzes around cattle in the mouths of
July and August, laying its eggs on

The cattle, licking themselves, take of

turning to small grubs in the stomach
they begin to bore their way through
the stomach into the muscles of the
back, where they lie, breathing
through small hole made in tho
skin, and living on the pus secreted
in consequence of the irritation
caused by them. They will soon force
their way out of their burrows in the

which they bore their way and change
to pupa or chrysalis, changingto the

at this time of the year, squeeze them
out of the hole and crush them. If
this is not done easily, enlarge the

INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE on FOLIAGE.

INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE ON FOLIAGE.
Professor Strasburger is one OF
those eminent European botanists to
whom students in plant life have
looked up to as among their greatest
teachers, and it is therefore with some
surprise that Americans read recent
paper of his in connection with the in
huence of climate on the structure of
leaves. He takes for an illustration
the European beech. He says that
when the beech produces its leaves in
the deep shade CT the forest, they are
larger and finer than tho leaves of the
same tree exposed to full sunlight, and
from this he deduces a general princi-
pie that abundance of sunlight to a
dry atmosphere is the reason WHY
leaves are thick and small. Yet it
has been for over quarter OF Gen.
tury placed on record and admitted as
an undeniable fact that. in the case of
allied species of European and Arcri.
can trees, the leaves of the American
are larger and thinner than the leaves
of the European. The American lin.
den has larger and thinner leaves than
the Eur opean linden. So has the
American sweet chestnut, American
oak, American buttonwooi or syca.
more. and, in fact. all American trees
that have close European allies. And
yet no one will contend for q moment
that the English climate is dryer, or
that there is more light or more long.
continued sunlight in England than
America. It is unfortunate when
great authorities like Strasburger at
tempt to found great scientific truths
on such slender materials. .-Meehaa's

Paine's celery compound has put an end to.
an mormon amount of sickness and disease.
1t began at the very outset of its splendid
career to cure men and women of kidney
troubles, liver complaint and nervous prostra-
ton. Its speedy and lasting cures of all these
nerve and blood disorders were not slow in
spreading its reputation through every state in
the country. Physicians everywhere greeted
the great remedy as the most enlightened,
most skillful means that could be employed
for invigorating the rundown" system.
Thousands of wholly disinterested men and
women saw their ~neighbors and townspeople
made well by Paine's celery compound.
This e%poch-making discovery in medicine,
due to the patience, thoroughness and zeal of
