The King and the Farmer. King Frederick of Prusnia, when be vras out riding one day.'saw an old fann er who was plowing a field and singing cheerfully over his work. "You must be well off, old man, "cried tin trino- "Does this land belong to you on which you so industriously la j.r?" "N'o, sir," replied the old man, who of course had no idea that he was speak to the king ; "I am not so rich as that I plow for wages." 'How much do you ear Jay f asked the king. "Eight grocshen," returned the man. (That would le alout twenty cents of our money.) "That is very little," said the king. "Can you tret along with it?" "Get along ! yes, indeed, and have something left." "How do yon manage ?" "Well," said the farmer, smiling, "'. will tell von. Two KToschen are for my self ami wife: with two I pay my old l..l.tM. two I irive awav for the Lord 'a sake." "Tlmt is a mvsterv which I cannot e solve," said the king. "Then I must solve it for you," re plied the farmer. "I have two old par ents at home, who kept me and cared for me when I was young and weak and needed care. Now that they are old and weak, I am glad to keep and care for them. This is my debt, and it costs two groschen a day to pay it Two more I upend on my children's schooling. If they are living when their mother and I are old, they will keep us and pay back what I lend. Then with my last two groschen I supirt my two sisters, who cannot work for themselves. Of course I am not compelled to give them the money but I do it for the Lord's Hake." "Well done, old man," cried the king as he finished. "Now I am going to give you something to gness. Have you ever seen me Ix-fore ?" "So," said the fanner. "In less than five minutes you shall see ine fifty times, and carry in your pocket fifty of my likenesses." "This is a riddle which I cannot gness," said the farmer. "Then I will solve it for you," retnrn ?d the king, and with that he put his hand into his pocket, and pulling ont fifty gold pieces, placed them in the hands of the farmer. "The coin is genuine," said the king, "for it also comes from our God, and I am liis paymaster. I bid yon good-bye." And he rode off, leaving the good old man overw helmed with surprise and de light. Protection uf the Houaehold. Farm houses are rarely constructed Vtlllt B llt IU I'll 1 1. 1.1 o work or to ewsiort !uring warm weather. "They are cold in winter and warm in summer. They are not supplied with water as they might le at small expense, have no means of drainagp.no provisions for storing ice.and no method of ventila tion except through open doors and w in dows. The kitchen Is generally so lo cated that the fire kept in it will warm the whole house. As three hot meals are exited every day by the persons engaged in field work, and as the amount of washing and ironing to Iks done is very large, the fire rarely is allowed to die out in the stove or range. As a con sequence, all the rooms in the house are kept hot by night as well as day. The odors of the various dishes Wing cooked also fill the the entire dwelling. People often go from the city to the the country during hot weather to find a cool place and get the advantage of pure air. They never find either in an ordinary farmhouse. The air is impure not, it is trne, from the odors rising from sewers and filthy alleys, but from vajiors coming from cow-yards and the kitchen that forms a portion of the dwelling. In most cases the in-door lalion-rs on a farm suffer more from the heat during the summer than the out-door laliors dol Various ways have lecn contrived to protect field lal Mirers from the heat of the sum mer sun, but no invention has lieen per fected to ward off the heat of cooking stoves. The kitchens of most farm-houses are places of torment during the season of hot weather. They breed disease and deatli. A Hone with a Future. A young man haa ieen introduced to a young lady and had invited her out for a drive. Thriy were gliding along one of onr smooth roads near the city, when the fair one olwerved to the .youth that he drove a nice horse. "Well, I tliiuk he ought to be a good 'un. I paid enough for him, and he's got a record down in the twenties. Oil, he's a flyer, and tliat's the only objection I have he stays biolong in the air when he gets started. I wouldn't take a farm for him, although I was recently offered an inten-ht in a bank and a corner lot for him. "Is he gentle?" "Any child can drive him on the road, but when on the track we have to have the lines worked on the block and tackle system ho great is his speed and desire to oime nuder the wire ahead. But look at his shape. Don't he show his pedi gree in his very eye ?" "How IJ is he ?" "He will lie five on the fifteenth of next mouth, and I've never let one of his birthdays go by without celebrating the event I tell you that boss lias got a future lief ore him. "Oil, yes," replied Julia, "if he only lives long enough, that will lie the case I have no doubt ; for he has been our family horse for eleven years and we would never have sold him to a Third street livery stables if he hadn't such a severe case of botts and glanders, which finally ran into the lifts and we parted with him." The young man didn't ask Julia to ride with him again. Ax old gentleman who always took notes of his minister's sermons, on one oc casion read them to the minister. "Stop, stop !" said the minister at the occurrence of of a certain sentence ; "I didn't say that" "I know you didn't" w the reply ; "I put that in myself to mike sense." Whks a telegram comes from the far West and states that a fire "destroyed every business house save one in the town," we feel sorry far the town. But when, next day. we leant that the busi ness bouses of the town consisted of a beer saloon and a grocery, and the latter was saved, our sorrow is mitigated upward of considerable. AGRICULTURE.

How Vises Climb. I'rof. Brewer, of wahninn College. Pa . communicates to the American Journal of .Science and Art the resultof someexpenmenis mai-e vj him on climbing vines the hop, the Lima liean and the morning glory, lie finds that thev will climb around a transparent glass pipe just as well as anything the, and they are most ardent in tneir euuwxi w Dole is warmer that the surrounding air, ii.irin.rthn .!v the vine is attracted to ward tlie hirhL but at night and especially nn col.l niiruta, it turns to the pole. lie learns, also, tliat the color of the pole makes no difference; the caressing instinct of the Tine has no r.reiudice airaintt any shade. The element of couatancy is very largely developed, the vine, after t has reached the Dole, showing a much stronger tendency to wind around it than it did before to reach it It is, doubtless, true that a bean will cluub around a glats pipe as freely as tny thlng else ; but, as a hint to practical men, it may be said here that a viu6 will make much greater progress when it has a rough stick to climb around than it will when the stick is smooth. The vine cannot adhere to the unoolh Dole, and spends its force in trying to hold on. Ou a rough stick it finds suDDort and. as in the case of some beans, reaches the top much sooner than other wise. Another thing is, that grape vines and all vines grow much more rapidly with a stake to climb to than without one. If one has a choice vine which it is desired should run up quickly, stake it at once. Kaisisi "Suing Figs Three or four weeks is the age at which pigs need the most careful attention. At about this period the pig reaches a point when the milk of the sow is not sufficient to keep up a healthy growth, and unless the pigs have been taught to eat before this time, there will always be trouble with them. The only way to avoid it is to teach them to eat . . . . .-1 Tl - and drink at the earnest pos-uuie ar. uu may easily be done by placing a little milk or other palatable food, in liquid or acniiliiiuid form in 'rouirh near them, but where the. sow cannot get at it By tl. time the pig are a week uli the will vry quickly learn to eat heartily. Give them plei.ty of nutriliiu?, palatable food from this time on. and there will be no further difficulty. A eecest writer tays it is advisable to feed calves in winter with something be sides skim milk, and suggests the use of "hay tea," made by placiug a quantity of bay" in a small tub, then pouring boiling water upon it. and allowing thv mixture to s'and until cold enough for the calf to drink. Mil this tea with skim milk and it will not only be found a nutritious drink, but a desirable change in feeding. Evekv poultry bouse should face the South, anu. if possible, be upon dry ground. Any available ground protected by grooves. hedges, stone walls, rr by biuldiugs of any kind, may be used tor Uiu purpose. Fowls suffer very much from coldstorms and winds, and ai.y protection aganst these is very valuable as a preventative of colds and croup. Koses. Gardeuers in the Azores have observed that the development of the buds of roses and some other dowers is quickened by the admission of smoke into the conser vatories. Would the effect be the same in other parts of the wcrld I It is very im portant that the earth should be tightly pressed down on the roots of the ruses. Forest Leaves. It has been found by experiments that potatoes manured in the hill with decayed forest leaves produced sound tubers ot a good size, while those ler- tilized with barnyard manure, growing in the same field, yielded many scabby and small-sized tubers. tils Stomach A Detroit surgeon who reputation is first class was seated in his office the other day when in walked as; ranger wha was followed by a dog. Without any fooling around be began : ' Doctor, 1 have the dyspepsia." "Yes, sir." Had it twenty -six years." " Yes, sir." You can't cure it ?" "No, sir." "But you can make an exchange of stomachs between me and my dog. " 1 believe it could be done, and both live.- " Will you guarantee that I won't have a hankering for old bones if I trade stom achs r "No, sir." " Will I want to chase cats f" " Very likely." "And snap at tram pit" "tjuite probable." "Doctor, this is business." "Yes, sir." 'And the exchange of stomachs is declar ed off." " Very well " " And I bid you good day." "Good day, sir." And the man whistled to his dog i nd walked out without looking to the right or left alj Mother. "Ain't she fine looking t" remarked I man as a lady passed along the street Yes." replied a young fellow; "I re gard her as tne Dnest looking woman in Clevi'laiid. In bet I am in love with her." Isn't she a nurriel lady V "Yes, but I fell in love with her some time ago, and I suppose that I rhall always love her." "Did you ever tell her of your love r "Oh, yes, and 1 kn )w that she loves me," "Does her husband know it I" "x es, lor one day while I was visiting the lady he entered the room just as 1 put my arms around her. "What did he do?" "He did'nt do anything." "Curious, kind of a man " "No, for I did not expect bun to do any, thing." "Why I" 'Because the lady Is my mother." DOMESTIC. Neat HocskkMWSO. A capital motto to be hung over the kitchen door is this : "Thou desirest truth In the inward parts ; and the woman who. when she expected company at tea, always went the first thingand washed the cellar stairs had ten dencies in the ngnt a. . - ... -.a . iwii her mind.' and there is auc mwu i- - do doubt whatever that it wasa source or deep and heartfelt satisfaction to her, as she sat In the parior aim c"-" guests with sprightly conversation, or a . . . ... iiim tr at her presided wun erne auu -- daintily dressed table, to reflect that the hidden and gracious virtues symbolized by clean cellar stairs were also hers. A habit of thoroughness is something which most people need to cultivate wun in no profession is it more needed or does it count for more than in ours, dear. .ear housekeepers who read this. There is an unmistakeable air about a perfectly neat bouse which is felt by all those who come into it: there is no use In trying to uiaac .t .nnear that neatoeaatand order are char acteristics of your home unless Jhey are. There is reason to tuinx mat wkoc men are in this matter content .to seem without caring to be, but it is a very transparent deceit "If there is to be any dirt in the house." said the best house keeper I ever knew, "let i.be wh-jre I can see it; let it He on the parior table and ctuurs rather than be allowed to remain under the beds, and in corners where it will become nch soil for the development and growth ot germs of disease. " There is great difference between a disorderly hou-ekeeper and an untidy one; there are often cogent reasons why a woman cannot possibly always have her house in the order she loves; it may be the one severe trial of her lite that she cannot carry out her ideas in this respect and she may be deserving of crecit for sccepting the situa tion with equanimity, especially if, as is frequently tbe case, she may also be obliged to endure the injustice of being rtl a fui nre as a housekeeper, when in reality she is irreproachable so far as neat ness is concern ned. This is certain l of naramouut imDortance; it is a truth sadly forced home touitttmes that file and death wait upon the discharge of what appear to b simple and even unim portant matters. Usw of a Saxd Bag. One of the most convenient articles to be used in a sick room is a sand bag. Get some ciean, fine aand. drv it thorouirhlv in a kettle on the to make a bair about eittht inches HanneL UU it with the dry sand, i the nnenins- careful V together, and cover the bag with cotton or lined-cloth. This will ore vent the sand from bitting out, and will also enable you to heat the bag quickly by placing it in the oven, or even on the top of the stove. After once using this you will never again attempt to warm the feet or nandi of a sick pern with a bottle of hot water or a brick. The sand holds the heat a long tune, and the bag can be tucked up to the back without hurt ing the invalid. It is a good plan to make two or three of the bags and keep them ready for use. Tat project to make everybody nch by making coffee from dates may be very gen erous, hut it has the grave lauil oi oeing too expensive. acrv is ine ncuoc u. spoiling a dried fruit that is so delicious to the palate of tbe small boy, and that is worth at least a few cena per pounu,wnen other materials that are ten times as cheap have already been sold by the ton under the name of coffee and it good prices i Beans, pvas. nuts of several kinds, roaslvU corn, sweet potatoes, mahogany sawdust, dried hver, locust pods, vanous barks ana roots, and d-zeas of other cheap materials, all of American pioduction, have been roasted, ground and sold at a" handsome profit as coffee.

When the Southern Ocean was first opened to British enterprise by the discov eries of tapt. Conk it teemed with animal life. Fur-seals and hair-seals abounded on the coast of Australia and New Zealand and on the outlying islands. They were at once set upon and killed, the slaughter being conducted without regard to sex or season. The result was a total extirpation of several species. "One might as soon expect to meet a sea-lion oa London bndge as on any one of the islands in Bass's strait," was ihe reply of a New Zealand naturalist to the inquiry about the seal-life that early voyagers had observed The same result bas happened at the Falkland islands, at Cape Horn, and on the Pacific seaboard of South America. A vessel called the Betsey took 1,000,000 skins from the island of Masafuera at the begin ning of the century, an exploit which left no survivors for future adventurers ; and the island of Juan Fernandez, where, in Ansm's time, there were seals in abund ance, has now only a few stragglers to show. The same thing Lanpencd at he South Shetland In 1821-2 British sealers took away 320,000 skins for the two years. killing males and females indiscriminately, and leaving the young to die. Tbe fate of the sperm whale might furnish a useful lesson in the same direction. It was once abundant in tbe southern ocean, but is now all but extinct, from the very same causes tuat we ha'e pointed out above In the case of the seals. Tbe American whalers ob served its maternal affection, and found it easier to kill a mother and her cub together than a mother alone. A- few years of this policy, added to the use ot steamers armed with projectiles or cunning contrivance, and the ushing had to lie given up as no longer profitable. 1 lie DaaMlata Moa.

The view on tbe Termina tor was tbe most interesting. Instead of the unbroken line of light that marks its appearance to the naked eye, the moon's rough edge was formed of branching horns of radiant light, like the antlers of a stag or huge formations of corai. These were the summits of lunar mountains, lighted up by the sun, which was just rising to this bart of the moon. The bright mountain peaks were weird and wonderful, as well aa beautiful, though their only admirers were observed two hundred and forty thou sand miles away. HLTIOROUS.

Not withstanding- the great opacity oi metals, it ts quite possible to procure, by chemical means, metallic leaves sufficiently thin to examine beneath the microscope by transmitted light. Silver leaf, for example, when mount id upon a glass slip and immersed for a short time In a solution oi cyaniue oi potasslu-u, perch loride of Iron, or Iron alum, becomes reduced In thickness to any required extent. The structure of silver leaf may also be conveniently examined by converting it into a tran sparent salt by tne action upon it oi chlorine, iodine, or bromine. Similar suitable means may also be found for rendering more or less transparent most of tbe other metals wnicn can ne obtained in leaf form. An examina tion of such metallic sections, says Jir. Elsden, will show two principal types of structure, one being essentially granular and the other nbrous. 1 he granular metals (of which tic may be taken as an example) present the ap pearanceof exceedingly minute grains, each being perftctly isolated from its neighbor by stiu smaller interspaces. The cohesion of such leaves Is very small. The fibrous metals, on the other band, such as silver and gold. have a very mat ked structure, silver, especially, has the appearance of a mass ot hue elongated fibers, which are milted and interlaced In a manner which much resembles hair. In gold. this fibrous structure, though present, is tar less marked, Tbe influence of extreme pressure upon gold and silver seems to oe, therefore, to develop a definite Internal structute. Gold ana silver, in tact, appear to have In some respects like plastic bodies. When forced to spread out In the direction of least resistance tneir molecules do not move uniformly, but neighboring molecules, having different velocities. glide over one another, causing a pro nounced arrangement of particles in straight lines. This development of a nbrous struc.ure, by means or pres sure. In a homogeneous substance like silver, is an interesting lesson In ex perimental geolozy, which may serve to illustrate tht probable origin of the nbrous structure or comparatively homogeneous limestones like those of the Pyrenees, Scotland, and the Tyrol.
