hard matter to inoculate the soil, how
ever, for all one mas to do is to get
a hundred pounds of the dirt from an

Of land, in the evening or about the
time of good shower, narrowing the
ground well afterwards. The land
should be free from weeds, as alfalfa
will not do well on weedy grounu."
George Bissell: II am making the
rounds ascertaining where chemical
fire extinguishers are located. find
that many places that ought to be
equipped with them, are utterly void
of any protection. l understand that
there are nc extinguishers in any of
the school buildings, at the Lyceum
theater and other places. Extinguish-
ers cost but very little and as means
OF protection between an extinguisher
and fire insurance policy, I'd take
the extinguisher every time. I think
the liquid extinguishers are far better
than those consisting Of powder, be-
cause one can stand fifteen feet away
from blaze with the former and play
the liquid on the fire..

rhs crows and the Snake.

"Strolling In Burma one day." says a
writer in the London Field, 81 came to
ditch bridge. and about ten yards Off
there was d mass of black soft mud
caused by buffaloes rolling. On the
bridge was small brown snake about
two feet in length This snake is an
ordinary jungle inhabitant and is very
venomous. Surrounding him were a
mob of some dozen crows. Whenever
the snake attempted to escape the
nearest bird would jump IL and jerk it
back by the tail. The crows generally
kept just out of the snakes reach, but
Oh three separate occasions the birds
were struck.
Immediately on being bitten crow
lew over to the wet mud and swal-
owed three or four mQuthfuls with
ut il pause. 1t then perched up in
rec and took no further part in the
light The incident ended in the snake
e!'> airing between the pianks of the
Bridge. What interests me is why did
he stricken birds eat the mud? Was
taken as Il kind of antidote or what
aaS the reaSon?''

The Rainbow.

When a ray of sunlight falls on a
raindrop ii is refracted; then part OF
'he light is reflected from the internal
surface and again refracted on leaving
the drop. The white sunlight is not
only refracted when it enters and
leaves the drop. but dispersion also
takes place. The eye sees bright cir
cles of light for each kind of light, and
since sunlight is made up of different
kinds of homogeneous light we get a
series OF circular arcs showing the
spectrum colors. the red being outside
and the other colors following in the
order of descending wave length. The
whole constitutes primary rainbow.
A secondary bow is sometimes seen
outside the first. This is formed by
the light being twice reflected inside
the raindrops. The less refrangibe
rays are on the inner side. Rainbows
due to still more internal reflections
are too feeble to be observed. 1t is
possible to get white rainbow if the
sun is clouded or if there is mixture
Of raindrops of very different sizes.

Male Fashions In 1850.

Male fashions of 1850 had other dis
comforts besides long hair. Trousers
were tight and buttoned under the foot
with broad straps Every man who
aspired to be we'll dressed wore his
coat SO high in the collar that the
back of the hat rested on it. This
fashion was SO prevalent that, accord
ing to Sir Algernon West, every hat
had a crescent of cloth on the back of
the brim to prevent the rubbing of the
beaver or imitation beaver of which
the hat was made, for silk hats were
not then invented" And from the
same authority we learn that opera
hats were unknown, and in the even
ing a folding chapeau bras was al
ways carried under the arm. Nobody
but an apothecary or a solicitor would
have dreamed of leaving his hat in
the hall of the house where he was
calling or dining. London Chronicle.

The PRINCES SPEECH.
Cannins's Reason For ignoring the
RoyaI Audscitv


Royal Audacity.
One Of the best stories in connection
with the history of the kings speech,
delivered at the opening of each fresh
session OF parliament, says Every
body's. is told of George ". when
prince regent.
The prince, it is well known, took
his responsibilities lightly and on one
occasion is said to have bet Sheridan
100 gulneas that either owing to the
magnetism of his personality or the
f1utter which the occupants Of the
lords chamber were in so little atten-
ton was really paid to the verbal char
acter of the speech he was delivering
that he could make any Interpolation
he liked without it being detected.
The bet was taken, and the prince
regent agreed to introduce the words
'Baa, baa, black sheep" in the middle
of the speech
IF anybody smiles or looks star
tled,'' he said, 81 lose my bet"
This exploit actually came off, and at
the close of weighty allusion, COM
posed by Lord Liverpool, to Welles-
ley's difficulties in Spain the regent
cleared his throat, said, "Baa, baa,
black Sheep" hurriedly and went on
without apparently exciting any re-
mark.
Sheridan related the royal audacity
to Canning.
"It is perfectly amazing to me-"
Sheridan said, that no notice was
taken. Didn't you hear him distinctly
say, 'Baa. baa, black sheep?"
II did," rejoined Canning, "but as
his royal highness looked you full in
the face at the time l took it as per-
sonal allusion. and my delicacy for.
babe me TO think more about it,
