Cultivating Sugar Beets.

In the early cultivation of sugar beets
the ground should be stirred as deeply
as possible. To accomplish this without
covering the plants the ideal implement
would be cultivator with numerous
long, hooked teeth, not more than an inch
wide, one which might be called cross
between harrow and a cultivator.
Euch cultivators are now on the market.
After the beets have become larger
cultivator with broader shovels may be
used in order to cut the weeds more eff
fectually, but deep working of the soil
should be carefully avoided after it has
become filed with the feeding roots Of
the crop. The after cultivation should
consist in keeping the ground free of
weeds and keeping the surface loose,
both being necessary to the preservation
of the soil moisture. Ohio Station.

A Vivid neacrintinn.

. A short sighted and deaf old gentle
man who was at an entertainment
where professor performed on big
bass viol, thus described the scene:
'.The professor carried on to the plat
form gigantic beetle attached to the
end Of sort of lamppost, He leaned
over and fondly embraced it, tickling
its back violently with long comb.
"The spectators seemed much de-
lighted at this display of scientific af-
fection- The beetle wac apparently quite
unmoved. Then the professor gave a
capital imitation of the drunken man
and the lamppost. He swayed rapidly
up and down. clutching quickly at all
points.
Sometimes his fingers quivered pas
&ionately upon one spot, like an i'll tenn
pered man struggling with an obstinate
pair of braces. Sometimes he rested
momentarily, as one rests after con-
test with stiff white tie.
Finally, he gave last convuIsive
tickle to the huge beetle, picked himself
up from the lamppost and carried off
the unresisting insect. The audience
applauded vigorously"

A Famous House and Lot.

An article entitled "Historic Homes
In Washington, by Catherine Cava-
nagh, In Munsey's. gives an interesting
narrative Of the home once occupied by
James G. Blaine. The lot on which II
stood once belonged to Henry Clay, who
won it at game of cards, at which he
was always very lucky. On his wife be-
ing asked if her husbands gambling
did not make her anxious, she an
swered: why should worryf Henry
generally wins. :" After keeping the lot
short time he swapped it for NAL
tese jackass that Commodore Rodgers
brought home from a Mediterranean
cruise, He built the house. In it once
lived James z. Paulding, secretary of
the navy under Van Buren. Secretary
Seward bought 1t. and was living il Il
when his assassination on the night Of
Lincoln's murder was attempted. Sec
retary Of War Belknap afterward re-
sided there. and finally Mr.. Blaine.

The sael<ing. OF the Tuileries, 1s4s.
The sight that presented itself was
the strangest have ever seen and has
remained In my memory almost as Wv
idly as if it were yesterday. The mag
ni6cent apartments Of the palace were
soon filed with as strange set Of ruff
fans as you could meet anywhere. It
seemed as If they were all mad or
drunk, and yet they were as jolly as
sandboys They seemed positively to
revel In destruction and to yell with
delight as they smashed and tore every
thing to pieces that they came across.
There was scarcely picture that was
not cut into ribbons, and ornaments,
however costly, were thrown down and
broken to atoms
While I was standing in one of the
grand apartments, looking on in won
der, a little man, with sword almost
as big as himself stood in front Of a
magnificent mirror that that reached fren
the floor to the ceiling. He surveyed it
for moment, and then, as though he
were about to storm a town single
handed, went deliberately up to it and
with one blow of his great cavalry blade
shivered it to pieces. As they fell at
his feet he put on grand air and said
s'LaP as If this was one of the greatest
deeds he had ever accomplished and the
proudest moment Of his life -"Sketches
