About equal amounts of inanure wcre used for each icu; no fertilizer was used for either, save the t droppings of tlie cattle nnd the nbhea from the burning of palmetto roots and bushes when the land was cleared, which was about equal in each pen.

At the New Yeik Lxpciimcutal sta tion, three years age, a bed of Sharplesa strawberries! was planted eutaiul heavily mulched with coal ashes. The object was te see if this material would net act beneficially in keeping down weeds. Ac cording te Professer E. S.

The yield from the plants has been mero abundant than from another bed of tlie sauie va riety that ha3 received excellent culture of the ordinary kind. The plants have been nlme'.t entirely free from blight, though the Sharplcss blights badly here when grown in the ordinary way. Tlie bed has received no culture siuce the mulching, except te rcmove the weeds tliat were strong enough te grew through the three Inches of coal allies. I i tlie l'raeli Orchard. 'i ' Marshall P.

" Bakae met the celebrated Duchesse d'Abrantca at the heuse of Sonhle Qay in the ttme of Leuis XVIII. Her Idgh epirits, her knewledge of the world, tlie ptrange career elie had passed through, rendered her a very Interesting object te the nuther of "La Comedle Humalne." Bhe had n geed figure, n pleasant face, chestnut hair, nnd the prcstlge of the imperial world, of which she liad lccn ene of the queens. It is net unlikely that Bhe suggested the glorification of the fortle3, of which mention has been made; nnd certainly the viclssitude of her fertune must have supplied te nn lmaginatlve mind many sad reflections en the instability of human happiness. When Bhe published her "Memoirs" Dalzae was of great service for her, for he was net n bad hand nt driving n liter ary bargain. Hut no re-enfercement of her finances preved mero than tempo rary. In the golden days of Najioleen 6he had contracted nn extrnvagance the never could Minster. Her circumstances went from bad te worse, nnd nt last, in 1838, the splendid mistress of the most fashionable salon of the empire, nfler hearing from licrsickbcd her effects sul mitted te the hammer, had te be removed te lodgings still mero humble, where, In absolute squalor, attended only by her faithful maid, she passed unnoticed from Hfe.

Ualzac, however, had still sovcre struggles befere him, for he was Blew in establishing supremacy. He had a eliiccre ndmlrallen for Geerges Sand's talents, nnd it Is well known that the character of Cnmllle Maupin, in "Beatrix," was founded en n careful study of the nuthoress of "Leila" and the rust. Uut no friendship existed be tween the two beyond frank literary comradeship. It Eeenis strange te hear that Geerges Sand found Balzae under taking te lead Rabolaisnleud, altogether tee cearse; indeed, she denounced him, "Veus etcs un gres elTrontel" The Gentleman's Magazine. j... , A rutinu" IW" -r ' vimtiuu. correspondent writes from Paris: "It was here that Francis I conversed with Ilayard en the happiness nnd glory of France, nnd it was in the sitting room that tlie monarch, the friend of letters, received into his friendship Iteusard nnil Clement Maret; it was under these trees that Mnrie Stuart nnd Anne Doleyn, then brilliant in youth nnd beauty, walked in their sweet dreams of linpjJness; it was in this mysterious oratory that CJaudoef France, daughter of Leuis XII, had 60 often prayed.

Many humorous Incidents have nt nt nt tonded the introduction of the new fan fan gled ejicra glass machinery at the thea tres. Tlie theatre ushers Bay that the machines nre mero fun than n circu3 when the wliecls that opcrnte the spring that unloeks the Ikjx led gets In a snarl. But the fun is enjoyed by tlie npectaters, and net by the ushers. The theatre goer whose dlme gets stuck in the slot guner nlly makes about thirteen and n half times mero fuss ever the prospect! ve less of the dlme than n man whose faverite corn is Btcpped en by thu luconaiderato man who persists In going out te bee an other man between the nets. Ilccently nt tlie Casine n man in n dress suit, with bank notes in hiswulstceat jecUet, made n commotion that disturbed the whele parquet nssomblage for fully twenty minutes because the usher told him he ceuldu't get his money back until the next morning nt the bev office. Twe ushers had te scurry nreund nnd hunt up the president of the company that runs tlie boxes te soetho the wrath of the would le patron by handing him back the quarter he had dropped into the slot that was out of order. It costs n quar ter instead of a dime, by the way, te get n glass nt tlie Casine. Outbreaks of this this sort nre getting lesi frequent, though, nnd intending explosions of wrath are headed elf by tlie timely nr rlval of the usher, who, as boeh as he finds that n box won't work, tiles another that will without extra exponse te the tlioatre goer.

It has been found that the idea tickles the children, und inothcre nnd nurses drop money lute tlie slots just for tlie ake of seeing the llttle ones eiwii their eyes hi delight when the lid peps up nnd reveals tlie opera glas'i snugly fitted in the box. Every night nftcr tlie play nn ngent of the company gees around from box te lwx nnd collecta tlie coins. In the first weeks of the experiment the tour was made unexpectedly interesting by tlie amount of unlque bric-a-brae that was galhered up from the slots instead of the looked for silver coin. Lead dimes, little f-euvenlr medals of brass nnd lead, nnd bent pins were found in the slots. Hair pins, tee, were collected in bunches nt every tour. In fact, the hairpin secms te Ik the faverite implement used by the conscienceless theatre goers who put up schemes te beat thu slot. But it is n waste of hairpins and also of centennial medals and lend coins te try nnd palm them off en tlie machine for the genulne dime or quarter of commerce. The ma ma ehincs'nre made te liend and break all such nondescript counterfeits. And no thing but silver gees through success fully. Tlie euly effect of trylug te beat the machine is te threw it out of order, nnd about ten of tlie machines nre iu tlie hospital for rcpairj eacli week. WHY TI1UY ARi: NOT ltHD. It was early discovered by dishonest theatre goers that the lids of the lwxes cannot be locked, except by u special Ley, ufter the opera glasses have been used.

I The Chine.ie nre full of superstitions nnd many of them thinly bcliere that the foreigners tuake medicines out of human beings.

In ene cut men iu American clothes nre bending ever great furnaces in which the heads nnd legs of men nre boiling, and beside which great baskets nnd tula of cut up humans lie. The men are ctirriug tlie Eteamlug mass, und the picture makes ene think of the witches' caldron in "Macbeth." The Chinese themselves de net believe iu dissection nnd there is no body snatch ing here. They liclieve that the heart is the neat of thought, that the r.eul exists in tlie liver and tliat the gall bladder Is the seal of courage. I'er this reason the gull bladders of tigers are eaten by sol diers te inspire them with courage.
