of inanure wcre used for each icu; no

At the New Yeik Lxpciimcutal sta

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. Gell's reiert
en the same, it has doue tills in a marked
degree, but this is net nil. 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.

Bakae met the celebrated Duchesse

in the ttme of Leuis XVIII. Her Idgh
epirits, her knewledge of the world, tlie

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

had contracted nn extrnvagance the

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

te lodgings still mero humble, where, In

But the fun is enjoyed by tlie npectaters,
and net by the ushers. The theatre goer

times mero fuss ever the prospect! ve less

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

is sufficient te return n satisfactory prelit
is show it by the fact that In tlie first
month of the experiment with the dlme
Blet mechanisms the company paid n
dividend of 1 icr cent te .Mrs. Langtry
nnd ether stockholders. 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

the machine is te threw it out of order,

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

theatregeer walking elf with n glabsone

only escaped prosecution for tlie larceny
because imprisonment meant tlie ruin of
his little family. On several occasions
theatre goers have pecketed the glesscj
iu n fit of nbscntinlndedness and re
turned them nftcrward.
"Why don't you paint tlie glasses led,

j Cr.USTIAI. fiUTWiSTITIONS.
I The Chine.ie nre full of superstitions
nnd many of them thinly bcliere that
the foreigners tuake medicines out of
human beings. The masMicre nt Tien
Tsin in 180, iu w liivh twenty foreigners
were killed and among them u number
of Trench nuns, was caused by the re ro re
)ert that thesUtcrs wcre killing children
te get their lie.uts and eyes for medical
purposes, ami the treublu In Cerea last
tpring was cameil by the ciiculatieu of
the hteries that the iiiisbieuaries wcre
grinding up childien's bones te make
medicine. This icert was btartcd by
the Chinese, and thu latest attempt of
tlie kind I lind today here nt Shanghai.
It npiearH In n tri-inenthly illustrated
magazine w hir.li tlie Chinete publish and
which sells for llve cents a copy. This
contains a full defcriptieu of hew the
foreigners make their medicine, with
ghastly illusti.itiens of tlie tevercd
tniuk-s and tlie cut up limbs 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. Tlie

they use n elelght-ef-hand by which

tell of Chinamen who claimed te have
' had ten worms taken from their mouths
in n bingle day, nnd I saw n woman ac
