When the bees are young honej re mains longer white, and is known as virgin honey. The loss of a hand was one or the pen al mutilations enacted by William the Conquerer, Hangings for rooms, called arras, were first made in Arras, France, in the four teenth century. The yearly consumption of quinine in the United States is computed at 800,000 ounces. The dahlia is a native of Mexico, and wan brought to England by Dahl, a Swede, in 1804. The discovery of the luminosity of plants has been attributee to the daugh ter of Linnceus. Under the microscope the brilliant feathers of a humming bird's breast shows only dark brown. During the reign of Trojan 5,000 poor children were supported by the govern ment in Rome alone. The medicinal leech is found only in Central Europe, Asia Minor and part of the noithern coast of Africa. It is within the last two centuries that the first attempt was made in Eu rope to establish quarantines. Among the Tahitans and New Zea landers the woman wear their hair short and the men theirs long. The first grain elevators of America were built in Chicago eleven years ago. Southern Russia is the chief source of the salt supply to the other governments of the empire. The farm animals of Great Britain ropresent about one half of the total va lue of those of the United Mates. The national library of Mexico ia re ported to be in a deplorable state, thou sands of books lying about in confusion. Mounds have been found in the Py renees as distinct in their resemblance to animal forms as any American mounds. The custom of throwing a shoe after a bride conies from the Jewish custom of handing a shoe to the purchaser of land after the completion of the bargain. The pine needles of the Sileslau for ests have been converted into forest wool, which, besides being efficacious in cases of rheumatism, can be curled, felted and woven. The edible oyster attains its full growth only in the waters of the Amer ican coast, and its representative in Great Britain dwindles down to a small coppery bivalve. In some parts of Germany a curious custom exists. The peasantry who pos sess a bit of land, however small, Dever enter a church without having a nose gay in their hand. They thus show that they claim the consideration due to those who possess some property in the parish. The megapod of the East Indies builds an artificial mould in which its eggs are deposited to be hatched. The mound3 are sometimes fourteen feet high, with a circumference of 150 fet, and the de cay of the vegetable matter of which they are composed produces an artificial warmth sufficient to batch the eggs. Ballonists have an unique method of taking "soundings" to learn their dis tance from the earth when traveling in the aii at night. A loud shout is given and the seconds are counted until the echo from the ground is heard. From the time required for the return of the sound it is easy to compute the height of the balloon. The ancient custom of sending a pres ent of fine cloth to certain high officers of state and gentlemen of Queen Victor ia's household has lately been observed by a committee of the court of aldermen of London. The custom seems to have originated in a desire to encourage com petition in the manufacture of fine goods. The ancient Huns seem to have been the ugliest of races of Central Asia, and the homeliest individual was probably the "veiled prophet of Bokhara" the re pulsiveness of whose features was so overpowering that he did not venture to appear without a masK, for which he afterward substituted a golden veil, and was consequently known as "the veiled one." How to Siiear SnEEr. I lee an n quiry abouthow to shear sheep, and as 1 am an experienced sheep shearer, I will give my way. Take a piece of oil cloth about six feet square, and tack the sides down on the floor, loose enough to permit a sufficient amount of cut straw, or even straw, to be stuffed under it, to make a cushion, then tack the fourth side down. This makes a nice, elean soft place to shear on. Provide yourself w ith a good, bright, highly polished pair of shears, that is a shear in which the blades set down from the handhold. Set the sheep up with its belly toward you, then commence at the foretop and shear down around the head and neck, and strip one shonlder, then shear the other shoulder, and side, and belly, and the one hind leg all along the back bone, then turn over and shear down the other side, keeping the sheep in a sitting posture most of the time, In turning the sheep let the head hang over the knee, then turn over the other, in easy position for sheep and shearer; when you, want the hind leg straighten ed out do not take bold of the leg with your hand, but put your thumb on the stifle joint, as it is called in horses, and press back ; the leg will straighten out smooth and the sheep will hold still, but if you take hold of the leg and under take to pull it out straight, the sheep will kick and struggle. Keep the sheep in such a position that the skin wiil be tight all the time where you are shear ing ; do not pull the wool down as that pulls the skin up, and you will cut it ; but pull the skin up tight and bend the sheep so the surface you are shearing over will be as smooth as possible. Nev er tie a sheep and do not use any vio lence toward them. When you catch a sheep take hold around the body, do not take hold of the wool on the back and drag them to the place of shearing. Of course this way will be new to many, and you will think at first that it will be almost impossible to shear this way, but stick to the directions given here, and in a short time you will be an expert if you can ever learn. Some men can nev er learn to be fast shearers. I can shear a pound of wool a minute off. a good sheep. Iiural World, A Barrel, Scarecrow. Mr. Lam an Wood, Bay county, Mich., keeps the crows from pulling his young corn by means of a "Barrel Scarecrow." The barrel is suspended by a cord from a bar which rests upon the ends of two stakes driven in the ground. The lengths of the parts of Mr. Ws'. scare crow are as follows; Upright stakes, six feet ; cross bar, six feet long ; the barrel being so hung that it will le two feet from the ground. The heads of the barrel are both removed, and by being hung by the cord exactly in the middle of one side, or so it balances, it turns easily with a slight wind ; in fact, a barrel thus sus pended is seldom still. This constant motion of so large an object as a barrel, has an alarming effect upon the corn lov ing crows. One barrel will answer for four or five acres. Pieces of tin and other objects, aa bright colored cloth, may be attached to the suspended bar rel, but they are not essential to the Barrel Scarecrow. 4fyrtctZfrist. Farmers who complain of the crow pulling up freshly planted corn could ef fectually protect their crop by scatter ing on two or three occasions half a peck or more of soaked corn over an adjoin ing newly ploughed field, which would effectually divert their attention from the planted Seld. Neither crows nor blackbirds can eat hard corn and that is the reason the soft corn is disturbed. 8 r- ' m REMEMBER are invited to visit OAK HALL, S. E. Cor, 6th & Market Sts. Philadelphia.

I arose, dressed, put on my new City of Wales, donned my City of England, took my city of Pennsylvania, went out to a citv of Italy and saw the many sights. Near our house I met our island on the Pacific, who had been hunting a river in West Virginia; across his shoulder was slung a river of Michi gan, and a cape of South America, that contained a river of Montana ; in his mountain of Montana, he wore a branch of the Missouri river. After congratu lating Lim on his success, I strolled on. Or. nearing the village, I met aiiver of SJteria, with whont I am deeply in love; the river of Australia, I must confess, Las won my river of Dakota. Never did 6he look more handsome. On her mountain of British America she wore a mountain of Oregon; a shawl made of a province of the Chinese Empire close ly wrapped her beautiful form. That week a dramatic company had engaged the Academy, and were to play a tribu tary to the St. Lawrence river. After making an engagement fur the following evening, I left lier. I met on the road a cape of Africa on the way home ; two cans, containing a river of Montana, were fastened to an island in the Gulf of Mexico which he rode. On reaching the village, I went to a river in Ger many, which was furnished with a ciiy of Holland. Lying near the stove was one of the Bahama islands. Noticing a bay of Africa in the corner I sat down and ordered a dinner, which consisted of ft piece of a mountain of Australia. On a town of Prussia was S'jme of a liv er of New Hampshire ; on another was a town of Italy ; after eating these I drank some of an island of Great Britain; I then made a cape of England for the museum. On my way I met two caies in the eastern part of tlie United States; they were out on a iiverof Germany, and had been playing a city of Portugal. One had made a river in the Arctic Pla teau and had lost, and was accusing his companion of being a river of Oregon. After a rivei of British America had been restored, I asked them to accom pany me to tho musmim, which they consented to do ; it was a lake of Cali fornia to me, that they were on the way to a river in Colorado. On entering the museum I saw a cage which contained a city of Prance ; another, marked the "Happy Family," contained a river of central Africa, a river of Wisconsin, an island of Lake Michigan, an island south of Australia, and a river of Dakota, which was hanging on to the rafter ; in another was a river of Wiscons-.iu. In the centre of the buildinsr was a large tank, filled with a lake of British Amer ica : in it was a river of British Ameri ca, a river of Idaho, and a cape of New England; in another was a river of Brit ish America, who was taking a city of England. In a glass cover case was a branch of tho Columbia rjver. Hav;r seen all that could bo seen, I left f.r home, a river of Idaho, and very much pleased with my day's experience, On my way home I passed a mountain of Arizona, made of another mountain of Arizona, and erected to the memory of a territory of the United States. Fur ther on, I met a blind beggar, his condi tion was that of an island near the Ba hamas, I handed him a gulf of Africa, and weut my way. Reaching home, I went to my room, took my Bible, read of an island in Lake Superior, by the name of cape of Afrira. Turning over I read of t wo of the A indword islands ; after saying my prayers. I went to Led and fell asleep, feelling that the smile of a rapitol of New England rested upon me. lloicard Sawls in the Journal of Edii:ation. Corn ix Hills or Drills. Fermit rce to say a few words as to these two modes of planting corn. As the result of twenty years of experience and ob servation, I am decidedly in favor of hill planting. Both methods are practised here to some extent, but planting in drills is not done so much now as five years ago. In this section the yield of measured bushels of ears per acre will be about the same by either method: but the ears that are grown by planting in hills are longer, the grain better de veloped, and consequently heavier, giv ing about 10 per cent, more shelled corn by weitht than that grown by the other method. On the other hand more stalks will be grown by planting in drills; but in our cornfields the grain is the main object, and we think it is better, if we are likely to need more folder than we get with our crop, to devote a portion of land exclusively to the raising of fodder corn. There is one other point to be consid ered the labor question. Very little hand labor is required in corn after it is planted if wo have good horse imple ments, and good workmen to handle them, if rowed both ways, while in the other case much hoeing is needed if the fields are kept clean. Good culture is necessary if you want a good crop of corn, and to have the land in good con dition for barley the following year. In western central Missouri, where I so journed for three seasons, tho verdict of the best farmers was to the effect that plant ine in rows both ways produced about lo per cent, more corn, with two thirds to three-fourths of ihe labor re quired in drill planting. About Sweet Corn. Strange as it may seem to those accustomed to sweet corn, there Jare parts of the country where it is yet unknown. In many pla ces in the West and South people still content themselves with .he "roasting ears" of the common field corn. The history of sweet corn is obscure, but there are facts which point to its orisrin with theNarragansett Indians iu lihode Island. There is the same difference between field and sweet corn as there is between wrinkled and common peas. The conversion of the contents of the grain into starch ia arrested, and the seed in both remains much wrinkled, The writer can remember when a Mas sachusetts man living in Rhode Island sent annua'.ly by stage, as an acceptable present to friends in Boston, a basket of sweet corn. It is within comparatively recent times that sweet corn lias become common. The American Agriculturist no doubt is read by many who are not familiar with the varieties of corn now known as "-sweet", and we do a good service to these when we call attention to its superiority over the common corn. The mail now allows everyone to pro cure seeds from dealers anywhere at a mere trifle for postage, and "the seeds are within reach of all. Among the earliest varieties, "Early Minnesota" is one of the best. For the main crop we have used "Triumph" anrt "Excelsior," and consider whichever of these happens to be on the table at the time as the best. Besides these, there are a dozen or more varieties, all good, and vastly superior to any field coia. Agriculturist. Cut worms are very poor climbers, and much of the damage they do to the tomato plnU may be avoided by making a compart mound about the plant as large as an invert ed teacup. Ex. The gardener who pins his faith to that will be apt to find it 'snare and a delusion. Wrap a bit or common newspaper two or three times around the stem of your plant before you put it in the ground, letting it extend quite down to the roots, and an inch or two above the surface, and you may sleep in perfect peace, assured that vour enemy is baffled.
