Cultivating Sugar Beets.

In the early cultivation the ground
should be stirred as deeply as possible.
To accomplish this without covering
the plants, the ideal implement would
be a cultivator with numerous long,
hooked teeth, not more than an inch
wide, one which might be called a cross
between harrow and a cultivator.
Such cultivators are now on the mar
ket. After the beets have become larg-
,er cultivator with broader shovels
may be used in order to cut the weeds
more effectually, but deep working Of
the soil should be carefully avoided
after it has become filed with the feed
ing roots OF the crop. The after culti-
walton should consist in keeping the
ground free of weeds and keeping the
surface loose, both points being neces-
sary to the preservation OF the soil
moisture. VI -.

THE GREAT EASTERN,

On May 1, 1854, Brunei and Scott
Russell began the building of the Great
Eastern at Millwall, on the north side
of the Thames. This immense ship
will always be talked about; she is a
part of history, and, unlike the major
ity of ships which are dead and gone,
she belongs to time. I was a mile away
from her once when she passed through
the Gulls, and she looked as if she
were a manufacturing city gone adrift.
| was rather too young to admire her
hull; I could only marvel at the num-
ber Of her chimneys and her masts.
Since then I have ascertained that
she was a very perfect model, ship
within a ship, Of clean entry and a
beautiful fair and steady run in the ex-
terror shell. Giantesses urged by ma
chinery infinitely more superb in in
vention and finish than anything that
was shipped aboard the Leviathan Gas
she was first called) are crushing the
Atlantic surge daily, but there is moth
ing at this hour anoat, and probably
the world win never again see, SO vast
a sea-borne fabric as the Great East
ern. Her length between perpendic-
ulars was $50 feet, and on the upper
deck 692 feet; the breadth of the hull
was SO feet, and from paddle-box to
paddle-box 118 feet.
A contemporary enthusiast tells us
that 118 feet as the width of Portland
Place, one of the broadest streets in
London" The depth of this great
ships hull was so feet; the weight of
the iron contained in her hull, 5000
tons; and the weight of the whole ship,
when fully laden, $4,000 tons. Thus
loaded, she drew 80 feet of water. Fur
ther statistics of her construction are
curious. We recall the number of
acres Of oak which an old man-of war
ate up. Here was ship held together
by no less than 100000 rivets. The
plates which formed her were 10000 in
number, and each plate weighed about
third Of ton.

Dogs and the Price of Mutton.

There would seem, at first sight, to-
be no connection between dogs and the
price of mutton, but that there is such
a connection is we'll known to every
man that keeps sheep. In the Western
states particularly sheep raising has
been abandoned in many localities for
the reason that so many big dogs were
kept that sheep, raising was rendered
improbable. Were 1t not for dogs,
sheep raising would be common in
even our most thickly populated farm
sections. Every farmer and even every
agricultural specialist would have
little bunch of sheep. This would
greatly increase the supply of our
sheep and would correspondingly re-
duce the cost of mutton. The in
creased price of mutton is the tax the
people pay for keeping dogs. Many
dog owners object to a dog tax, not
realizing that the want of dog tax is
a. still heavier tax on their own purses
in their mutton bill for the year. Dog
taxes should be made so heavy that
people could afford to keep only val
liable dogs.

WOMEN IN MEDICINE.
There Are Now -Four Thousand Five
Hundred Female Doctors in
the United States.

Striking as has been the advance Of
women in the medical profession OF
England. it has been even more so in
the CnItcd States.
Twenty-nve years ago, says the
Young Woman, there were 500 lady
doctors i'll practice in the states; to-
day there are 4.5OO-one in $4,000 of the
population. Among these are a few dis
tinguished homeopathists, hospital
physicians and surgeons, professors in
medical schools, oculists and electro
therapeutics, the great majority being
ordinary doctors. The first lady doc
tor in the world was an American wom-
an-Miss Elizabeth Blackwell, who was
enrolled as a physician in the Medical
Register of January 1, 1S49. One of
Americas most noted lady doctors,
Marie E. Zakrzewska, was a native OF
Berlin, but she had to leave the German
capital in consequence of the strong
prejudice aroused against her. That
was many years ago, and the lady doc
tor is now tolerated even on the CONT
nent. Even the far east has ITS lady
doctors, the best known among them
being Chinese lady, DR.. HUI King Eng.
first physician to the household of Ii
Hung Chang. DIR. Eng is q Christian
and comes of a wealthy family. She
took her. degree in the United States,
and is now in charge of hospital at
Foo Chow. AS to the earnings of the
lady DOCTOR, they vary, of course, very
largely. There are women who count
their income in thousands, and one lady
practicing in the West end of London
earns $4,000 year. Miss Annie ROM
berger, of Philadelphia, has practice
worth $4,000 year, and she is one of
many who earn as much.

parish, when the enabling act Great
ing an Industrial College for South

House, they would have made a
fight for Opelousas. che ideal loca-
! ton for such a college by reason of
its geographical position, attitude
and healthfulness. ST. Landry had

in the Senate to which could have
been added the senatorial vote Of

a nucleus of six votes as against the
four votes of Lafayette, ST. Martin
