CRYSTAL LENSES Of THE DEEP.

What painters palette ever caught such
The wondrous play Of light which CLEANS

The myriad beauties shifting to and fro
In multicolored rays which food and flow
Where waves their truths Kaleidoscope

And laugh aloud or sing along the beach?
soft-tinted lights, which flicker far away.
The shadow pantomimes In green and gray,
The rarest hues In grand exhaustless stores,
The mirrored pictures fringing wooded

And diapasons Of the chanting deep. .,..

And water jewels for their waving arms;
All these clear water-lenses multiply
Until their splendors dazzle mind and eye
The breakers toss joy-jewels high in air.
Rich emeralds. sapphires. pearls and dia'

With orbs Of amber set in turquoise blue,
And emerald ridges flecked with every hue

And etched in mist or with pure gold inla1d

OF curve and carving on exquisite lines;
And over these heavens light with endless

What the Calves Want.

If a calf has ration of half oats and
half corn, and half feed of it or lit
tie ore-that is, little more than
half of what it would eat up clean if it
had chance-and if the place of the
grass is taken by good clover hay, with
shelter from storms and protection
from excessive cold, with plenty of salt
and pure water, the calf will pay for it
all, even if corn were 40 cents bushel.
We would not feed an all-corn ration,
because the calf requires muscle-form-
ing material, and oats and bran are the
cheapest foods Of this kind. We would
not feed all oats or bran, especially in
severe weather, because corn is needed
to keep up the heat and round out the

Seed for Early Potatoe..

The seed potatoes should not be al
lowed to sprout and should be kept in a
cool place. One reason why seed po-
tatoes from New England are preferred
is that they are not allowed to sprout,
the climate being favorable in that re-
spect. If kept in pit outside the po-
tatoes keep well for seed, and if stored
in cellar the temperature should be
even and as near 40 degrees as posi-
BILE, while dampness should be avoided.
Seed for early potatoes, just before
planting in the spring, may be spread
out, and the sprouts be allowed to start,
but the seed should go in the ground

Coal Ashes for Orchards.

That coal ashes are beneficial when
spread on the surface Of apple or
chards in grass cannot be disputed. But
they contain scarcely any mineral fer
tilizer, and are, Of course, having passed
through fire, destitute Of any other.
Undoubtedly they benefit BY setting as
a mulch, and where they cover grass
causing it to die out and rot. In this
way they supply considerable fertility
and moisture indirectly. Wherever
coal ashes have long lain under fruit
trees there will bean abundance Of
tree roots just under the ashes where

serves its name-the Paradise of the
Pacific-were it only for the generous.
philanthropic spirit that has animated
the promoters OF the above named in
stitution. There the sailor can find
rest and recreation: there he can find
quietness and materials at hand to
write to his relatives and friends far
away. All is a free gift to him from
the promoters. Last week concert
was given at the Rest free to all. The
hall was packed with seamen. young
and old. who listened to- the first-class
music and singing.
Many n one will hereafter refer To-
the quiet evening in Honolulu when
they heard and listened to- the Song

on many will be lasting.
Still the burden OF maintaining such
an institution should not devoive on
the few. Surely the foreign and home
ships will contribute toward its main
