The Cabhnge Fir.
W, R. Lnzenby, of Cornell ttniver
nity, says: Wo kept the lnrvtc of the
cabbage butterfly in check by Applying
a solution of whale-oil nonp. This
proved a better remedy than carbolic
ucid, copperas water, nmmonin, cay
enne pepper, tobacco water, Scotch
snuff, tar Mater Tind several other things
that have from time to time been recom
mended. Tho method of applying the
whale-oil solution was ns follows: Aliar
rel of water was placed where it would
be convenient, to which the oonp was
ndded, nt the rnte of one pound
to every eight gallons of water.
The soap gradually dissolved, and
tho solution was ready for
uso after a few days. The
longer it stands the more disagreeable
it smells, and the more marked are its
effects. It w as applied with a common
watering pot, which was furnished with
a fine rose, just enough of the solution
being used to wet the whole surface of
the leaves. Three applications were
made during the season, care being taken
that the last be nt least ten davs or two
weeks previous to the time of harvesting
tho cabbages. After an experience of
three years, . during which time this
remedy has been used in a great variety
of forms, I can recommend whale-oil
soap ns one of tho safest and most etli
cient insecticides known.

President Harrison's Charge.
Many of our readers can recall the
gloom cast over the nation by the death
of President Harrison. lie was the first
president who had died in oflice. His
ndiuinisliat ion had endured but "one
little month."
It, was reported that he had been
killed by tho hordes of politicians who
beset him day and night, clamoring for
offices. His successor, Vice-President
Tyler, was unknown to tho country, and
there were many fears that the Svhigs
would not gather the fruits of their great
political victory.
Newspapers appeared in mourning
lines, churches and public buildiugs
were draped with emblems of woe, and
clergymen preached funeral discourses.
It was a day of great mourning in the
nation.
The report that the politicians had
killed the president had a basis of fact.
Their importunities had so overtaxed
his physical powers, that he was unable
to resist mi attack of pneumonia.
He was an early riser, and used to go
to market. The spring was cold and
stormy, but the president would not
wear an overcoat. One morning he was
wet by a shower, lrut refused to change
his clothes. Pneumonia seized him the
next day.
Washington life, with its late hours
and ravenous oilice-seekers, had enfeeb
led the old man accustomed to the
simple life and early hours of his plain
Ohio home.
He became delirious. His broken ex
pressions showed that the politicians
lia I overburdened him.
" My dear madam," he would say, "I
did not direct that your husband should
be turned out. I did not know it. I
tried to prevent it."
" It is wrong ! " he exclaimed at an
other time. " 1 won't consent; it is un
just." " These triplications will thev never
cease ?"
His last words seemed addressed to
his successor. Clearing his throat, he
said with distinctness : " Sir, I wish
you to understand tho true principles of
tho government. I wish them carried
out. I ask nothing more."
Two theories of political administra
tion exhibited themselves in those last
words of tho dying president. The
broken sentences represent the poli
tician's theory, ' To the victor belong
the spoils." The distinctly enunciated
charge expresses the patriot's idea.
When " the true principles of the gov
ernment" shall be " carried out," that
solemn charge will have borne fruit.

This delicious and wholesome vege
table is nirra largely used and more
thoroughlv appreciated everv vear. and
no one who has a garden should fail to
raise it. A correspondent of the Xeiv
Einjland Parmer gives some instructions
for raising it. He snvs: Celerv de
mands the very best of land, the best of
skill, and more labor than nnv other
crop. The laud should have been tilled
with some hood crops for at least two
veal's previouslv, and if, in these vears,
it has boon verv heavily manured, and
kept free from woods, it will be in prettv
good order. Celery requires heavy man
uring to do well, and it is a good plan to
plow in coarse manure in the fall as a
preparation for the crop; but if the
manure must bo applied in spring, it
should be worked very fine and mixed
thoroughly with tho soil in the rows where
the celery is to be grown. It is some
times grown as a second crop, after
onions, early cabbage, lettuce, potatoes,
or greens, i no land is made ready ns
early ns possible in April, and when
raised with onions, every sixth or seventh
row is sown with celery at the same time
as the onion seed is sown. As celery
seed is very small, it takes a good deal
of preparation to make the land fine
enough to insure its germination.
As weeds of all sorts grow so very
much faster than celery, many gardeners
prefer to start their celery under a hot
bed about April 1. For this purpose
very little heat is required, but care must
be taken to keep the bed moist, and the
best way to do this is to spread over it a
piece of old bagging (burlap), which
must be removed as soon as the seed
begins to sprout. The plants can be
taken from this bed and set out in the
field in Mav, when tho soil is moist
after a rain. If it is required to clear
up a piece of lettuce or greens or other
early crop in June, and then plor.t
celery, the plants will need to be pricked
out from the seed bed in May, into a
plant bed at about three inches apart,
where they can stand till June, or even
July, before transplanting to the field.
The more celerv is transplanted, how
ever, the more likely it is to go to seed,
instead ot growing n good stool.
I. cierv is planted in rows seven or
eight feet apart and one foot between the
plants in the row. The old plan of set
liiigthe plants in trenches is not prac-
nce.i now; the plants are set on level
land and need frequent hoeing and hand
weeding until the final banking up
which is done about two or three weeks
before it is wanted for use or market,

the weather being warm, the celerv will
blanch in ten days alter the last banking.

An nntnrctic exploring expedition was
recently organized by the Italian Geo
graphical society and has already started
upon its hazardous journey, with Lieu
tenant Beve in command. There being
but little known concerning the antarc
tic regions, numerous problems are in
store for this expedition to solve, and
the ultimate result of their travels will
doubtless be nwnited with much anxiety.
It is to be hoped that Lieutenant Beve

cessors in giving to the world a more
definite idea of the character of the

It is surprising to learn that the
world's consumption of sugar annually
approximates six billion pounds. About
one million tons of this is beet root
sugar which is produced mainly in
France and Germany; some efforts to
introduce its culture into this country
have not ns vet led to important results.
France owes the inauguration of the
beet-root industry to Napoleon I., who
introduced it as one of the remedies for
the evils he had brought upon his
ountrv bv vears of ruinous warfare. It
gives employment to a large number of
peasants, furnishes the government with
an immense revenue, and is a peaceful
victory of real benefit to France.

A Battle with Monkey.
A correspondent of the Boston Coin-'
mercial Bulletin gives the following
graphic account of a light with monkeys:
A vessel was anchored off Columbo, on
the southwestern side of the island; on
Sunday tho men asked permission to
take the boat and go on shore, and their
rpqnest was granted, the captain send
ing the second mate with them "to look
after things." They pulled around into
a little inlet below the city and landed.
For a wonder they did not enro nbout
visiting the town, but preferred a stroll
in tho woods, which upon this morning
appeared to be entirely deserted.
About a quarter of ft mile from where
they left the boat one of the party spied
a very young monkey lying at tho foot
of a tree. This was too much of a prize
for Jack to pass by.
Though warned by the second mate
not to disturb tho 'infant protege of
Darwin, they seized the little fellow and
essayed to bear him off in triumph.
Hereupon young Jocko emitted a
series of yells that caused the forest in
the midst of which they were wandering
to re-echo for mnnv rods around. H the
sailors thought themselves to bo the only
occupants of the wood thev were speedily
undeceived, for scarcely a moment had
elapsed since the utterance of the first
cry by their little prisoner before every
tree swarmed with indignant members
of the monkey tribe. Thev ran along
tho branches over the heads of the
wanton disturbers of their peace,
chattering and screaming and only wait
ing an opportunity to wreak summary
vengeance upon the kidnapers.
An order from the officer to " make
for the boat " was promptly obeyed.
When the monkeys saw their enemy on
a full retreat they formed in a solid body
and followed hurriedly in their wake.
Sticks, stones, and every available missile
was hurled furiously nt the hends of the
flying sailors. In vain did they drop
their prize, hoping that it might pacify
their enraged pursuers. It was not so ;
only one dropped out of the ranks, to
gather up in its hairy embrace the un
offending object of the fray ; while the
others rushed on more frantically than
ever.
Beaching the boat, thoy had not time
to jump in, but shoved her off from the
shore, clinging to the gunwales, and
crawling in only when some distance
had been placed between them and their
implacable foe !
When they had arrived at a safe place
to lay they rested on their oars and curi
ously scanned the intimated nrmv on
the beach. There appeared to be thou
sands of them, running up and down,
in wild contusion, nnd hurling stones
far out into tho water in the direction of
the boat.
Nor did the sailors get off "scot free,"
for there was not one among them but
what had received some injury at the
hands, or rather paws, of this army of
monkeys.

The first mission station on the west
side of Luke Tniinnyikn, Africa, wits re

the Lukutca river These gentlemen,
in communications sent hack from that
country, speak of there bcino; a marked
dillerence m the habits nnd beliefs of
the tribes on the east and west sides of
the lake. Those on the west are re
ported as great worshipers of images
and idols, while on the oust these
heathen gods are seldom seen, the in
habitants being of n more civilized na
ture. The images of the tribes in the
former section, which they cull Mkisxi,
meaning spirit, are in imitation of the
human ligure, and greet the eve of the
African traveler nt the entrance of nil
villages, while others are to be seen inside.
English agricultural interests are said
to be at a lower ebb than was ever
known before. Farmers are everywhere
either throwing up their leases in sheer
despair or demanding renewals fur long
terms at rates so low that- landlords pre-
ler to have the land thrown on their
hands rather than consent. One chief
cause of this hopelessness is said to be
the impossibility of making head against
American competition. That there may
be other influences at work to aid it may
be inferred from a little incident we find
related of a late grand battue on Lord
Aveland s estate, in winch the Prince of
Males participated. Four thousand hend
of game were killed by the noble sports
men, valued ut 2,250. JJut, according
to the estimate of an old farmer, the
value of the produce destroyed in rerr
ing and feeding the same 'game was
??5d,000. This is not very profitable
business for nnybodv concerned.
Oldest ( ilv in the World.
Damascus is the oldest city in the
world. Tyre and Sidon have crumbled
on the shore ; llaalbec is a ruin ; Pal
myra is buried in a desert ; Xinevch and
Babylon have disappeared from the
Tigris and the Euphrates. Damascus
remains what it was before the days of
Abraham a center of trade and travel
an island of verdure in the desert ; "a
presidential capital," itli martial and
sacred associations extending through
thirty centuries. It was near Da
mascus that Saul of Tarsus saw
the light above the darkness of the
sun ; the street which is called
Strait, in which it was said " he prayed,"
still runs through the city. Tlie cara
van comes and goes as it did a thousand
years ago; there is still tlie sheik, tlie
ass and the water-wheel; the merchants
of the Euphrates still "occupy" these
" with the multitude of their wares." The
city which Jlohanimed surveyed from
a neighboring height, and was afraid to
enter, " because it was given to man to
have but one paradise, nnd for his part,
he was resolved not to have it in this
world," is to-day what Julian called the
" eye of the east," as it vas, in the time
of Isaiah, "the head of Syria."
From Damascus came the damson,
our blue plums, nnd the delicious apri
cot ol rortugal, called ilumasco; dam
ask, our beautiful fabric of cotton and
silk, with vines and flowers raised
up on a smooth, bright ground; the
damask rose, introduced into England
in the time of Heiirv VI L; the
Damascus blade, so famous the world
over for its keen edge and wonderful
elasticity, the secret of whose manu
facture was lost when Tamerlane car
ried the artist into Persia ; and that
beautiful art of inlaying wood and steel
with gold and silver, a kind of mosaic,
engraving and sculpture united called
damaskeening with which boxes, bu
reaus, and swords are ornamented. It is
still a city of flowers and bright waters ;
the streams of Lebanon and the "silk
of gold" still murmur and sparkle in the
wilderness of tho Syrian gardens.

There is nothing that strikes u
stranger more, foreililv, if he visits
Sweden in June, than tlie alisence of
night. At Stockholm, for example, the
sun goes down a little before 10 o'clock,
p. m. ; but he passes around the earth anil
is only just below the north pole a short
time; there is a great brightness all
night, and such that you can see to read
at midnight.
There is a mountain at the head of tho
Gulf of Bothnia, where, on the twenty
first of June, the sun does not go down
at all. Travelers go there to see it. A
steamboat goes up from Stockholm for
the purpose of carrying those who are
curious to witness the phenomenon. It
only occurs one night. The sun goes
down to the horizon, you can see the
whole face of it, and in live minutes it
begins to rise.
At the North Cape, latitude seventy
five degrees, the sun does not go down
for several weeks. In June it would bo
about twenty-live degrees above the
horizon at midnight. The changes in
those high latitudes, from summer to
winter, are so great that we can have no
conception of them. In the winter the
sun disappears in the south and is not
seen for six weeks. Then it just shows its
face. Afterward it remains ten, fifteen
or twenty minutes, and then descends,
and finally it makes almost a circle
around the heavens.
Animal life accommodates itself to
these long days. Birds and animals take
thejr accustomed rest at the usual hours.
They go to rest whether the sun goes
down or not. The hens take to the trees
about 7 o'clock r. m., and sit there
until the sun is well up in the morning,
and the people get into the habit of late
rising too. Longfellow tells us of his
visit to a village where, although the
sun was shining, not a soul was to be
seen in the streets.

C'liurcli Sleepers in Ye Olden Time,
A certain good brother, Obadiah
Turner, of Lynn, Mass., once kept a
journal in which, under dttte " 1040,
June ye third," he thus describes the
" methods " adopted by u zealous special
oflicer in the church ministered unto by
the Eev. Samuel Whiting:
Allen Brydges hath been chose to
wake ye sleepers in meeting, and being
much proud of his place, must need have
a fox taile fixed to ye top of a long staff,
wherewith ho may brush ye faces of
them at will havo naps in time of dis
course; likewise a sharp thorne where
with he may pricke such as may be most
sounde. On ye last Lord his day, as ho
strutteded about ve meeting house, he
did spy Mr. Toinlms sleeping with much
comfort, his head being steadied by bein.
in ye corner, anil las liana grasp
ing ye rail. And soe spying Allen did
quickie thrust his staff behind Dame
Ballond and give him a grievous pricke
upon ye hand, whereupon Mr. Tomlins
did spring up much above ye floor
and with terrible force strike his
hand against ye wall,
to ye great wonder of all,
cry out in a loud voice,
ing, as it seemed, yt a
had seized and bit his hand. But on
coming to know where he was, ye great
scandall he had committed, ho seemed
much bashed, but did not ttpeake. And
1 think he will not soon againo go to
sleep in meeting.
Ye women may sometimes sleep and
none know it, by reason of their enor
mous bonnets. Mr. Whiting doth pleas
antlie say yt from the pulpit he doth
seem to be preaching to stacks of straw,
with men jotting here and there among
them."
"Mrs. Brown, I do wish you would
try to bring David out a little. Why,
do you know, he's so bashful that' I
really think if he caught the measles
they wouldn't come out."
