three stories being the regular height,

somewhat common oa the coast, and
when they come they shake up

what difference does its height make?
If a stone weighing ten tons is to fall

that it would make any difference

there may be a difference. And if I

writes that the White Grub!
j was very abundant in his neighbor
i hoed last summer, destrovin? entire
'cornfields as well as meadows, by
j eating the roots of both corn and
grass. They commenced upon the
corn when it was abcut a foot high,
and continued to work at the roots
during tbc entire summer,
We did not usually attempt
to
j name or identify an insect without
; specimens or a full description, but
. in this instanoo we bave no doubts in
j regard to the one referred to under
jtbc name of White Grub, as they
i are too common and widely known
j to be mistaken for anvthin? else.
These White Grubs arc the larva? of
the numerous species of May bee
tle, which frequently enter our
bouses ia the evening during the
spring or early summer months, as

traorr;! Iiv the lio-ht fif a limn or fire.
The female beetles usuallv
--r--
deposit
their ers in crass lands or unculti
vated fields and the grubs feed upon
the roots of various plants and live
in this state two to four years. If
pastures or meadow lands arc plowed
and the grass killed, then planted
with corn or other similar crops, the
grubs having been deprived of their
other food, would naturally seek the
roots of whatever plant they could
Cnd. These grubs are especially
fond of roots of corn and strawberries
and they will also feed voraciously
upon potatoes; heace the frequent
failure of such crops upan sod, al
though otherwise it is usually con
sidered preferable to land which has

seeking uncultivated fields for future
depredarions: but of this we cannot
be positive without an examination
of the infested field. In plowing the
old ctrnUclds this spring they should
be carefully t-xamined for grubs, and
if none or only a few found, then it
will be safe to plant again with corn,
because the beetles will seldom fre
quent a cornfield for the purpose of
laying their epgs there, preferring
a less disturbed location.
The Crow and Plackbird are tLe
great natural enemies of the White
Grub race, and whenever these birds
frequent a newly-plowed field wo
may rest assured that they are do
ing us a favor in eating the larva? or
fully matured May beetles. We
have seen crows follow the plowman
upon our fsrm for hours at a time,
searching for these and other kinds
of grubs. For these and other very
rood reasons, we do not permit
crows to be killed or frightened from
our premises, and if they want a lit
tle soft corn at the time their yocng
are hatching in spring, we provide it
and save them the labor of pulling
up that which we had planted Far
mers should remember that the mo.c
birds, the less insects: and na n mis
the former arc the preferalb to the
'latter.
Soaking seed cora in tar water
will prevent the attacks of some
kinds of insects. We have had no
experience with it as a preventive for
White Grubs, but it might be worth
trying. We do not know of any bet
ter way of ridding a field of White
Gruts than continued cultivation and
assistance from birds. Hral Arte

The interest excited a conple of

translation of a fragmentary Chalde

Assyrian tablets discovered by Lay
ard'is renewed by the fame featle
man's recovery from the ruins of
Kouvnnjik of missing part3 of that
record, urarlv restoring the whole in
scription, which is supposed to date
from at .'east 2,000 years before the
Cbr'-:.uu era. This Chaldean ver
sion however, differs in many ro
fpects from the Biblical legend, of
which it is manifestly the prototype,
not only or us minor details, bat
cbiefly in the polytheism of its myth,
Tia.sisadra, the Chaldean 'oah, is
transformed into a demigod, who in
his immortal abode tells an earthly
visitor the story of his escape from
the flood wherewith the gods pun
ished the wickedness of the children
of men. His floatine on the face of
the waters were 0f much briefer du

ing lasted but six days, and Lis ves
sel hating been stranded upon the
mountains of izin on the seventh
day, while the Noachian ark found
no resting place until the ssventeenth
day of the seventh month from its
launching, and nearly a year elapsed
before the earth was restored to a
habitable condition. The graceful
Scriptural legend of the winged mes
senger of peace, from which the ol
ive branch derives its emblematical
significance, ia less poetically given
in the older version, though enough
to show their relationship. The ra
ven first sent out by "oab plays no
important part in the drama, the suc
cessive journeys ot the dove, his late
emmissary, leading to his ultimate
release. In the Assyrian story these
episodes are reversed in order of time
and importance. Hasisadra is made

In ad Jition to this most interesting
discovcrv, Mr. Smith found in the
course of his Asynaa explorations
more than 3,000 fragments of ancient

the Tower of Babel, etc., which may

ia tbeir mythological but in their eth

Turnln; Cattle eat lo Panttire.
After a long confinement ia stables
or barnyard, stock will be very glad
to get a nip of grass or other green
fodder in Spring. Iut they are sel
dom any more anxious than their
owners, who in many instances, have
for weeks past been feariug a sight
of the bottom layer of hay or corn
stalks, or have already scraped up
the last peck of ground feed, and cut
the bushel of turnips. Buf. turning
out stock to pasture too early in
pring is a common mistake through
out the country, and losses ia consc-
queace. Cattle should not be al
lowed ia the pasture until the ground
has become sufficiently settled in
Spring to prevent tbeir feet from
breakingthrongh and injuringtbc sod,
or before the grass has grown enough
to furnish a bite. If stock are turn
ed out while the ground is soft, and
the grass short, tbey are compelled
to travel much to obtain little food,
thereby proportionally increasing the
injury to the grass roots, as well as
performing exhaustive labor in order
to fill their stomachs. Many good
pastures are seriously injured in this
way, and their owners wonder why
the grass runs out or grows so feebly
upon land that is naturally rich and
productive. Then, again, animals,
after they get a few bites of fret-h
srrass in spring, do not relish dry
fodder, and if there is not a good
supply of the former, they are likely
to lose in flesh, or as in the case of
milch cows, the flow of milk de
creases. It is better to feed late,
even if food has to be purchased,
than to turn out to pasture too early.
Ia localities where woodlands are
abundant, stock may be turned into
new clearings, or even into the
woods first, where they may obtain
considerable nourishment from the
buds, and young twirs of various
kinds of shrubs and small trees, and
we hare known farmers to make
good use of basswood, maple, and
elm bush for their cattle in Spring,
bv cutting and hauling it to their
barnyards, especially when fodder
was verv scarce. Of course not
much food can be obtained ia
primitive kind of fodder, but it
sesses laxative and nutritious
pertiee, and most kinds of stock

It is a man's own fault if Le u un

out of ten. It is a very exceptional
woman who will not be all she can

more exceptional one who will not
be verv disagreeable if she finds her
self willfully neglected. It would
be very easy to hate a man who,
having bound a woman to him, made
no effort to make ber happy; hard
not to love one who was constant and
tender; and when a woman loves
she always strives to please.

I.ois by Weeds and Iasects.
It is estimated that the value of
prodace annually raised ia this conn
try is $2,500,000,000, of which
amount nearly or quite one-fifth, or
$500,000,000, is lost, according to the
American Xaluralist, from the at
tacks of injurious plants and ani
mals. A single campaign of the ar
my worm costs the farmers of Ha3
sachuietts $250,000 worth cf grass.
Missouri alone loses from fifteen to
twenty million dollars annually from
insect depredations. The annual
damage to the apple and pear crop
from the codling moth amounts to
several million dollars, and the work
of the curculio is equally costly. A
partial remedy is to be found in close
study of insect habits, with a view
to ascertaining what insect3 there are
which bold the depredators in cheek
to destrey them. It is hardly possi
ble to estimate the havoc annually
wrought by the grass-hopper aad the
potato beetle, for example; and any
bird or insect which would reduce
such pests would be a substantial
benefactor to the farmer. As to the
"injurious plants," or ia the common
vernacular, weeds, the only method
that is feasible is to kill them at their
Tery germination by mean3of proper
agricultural machines. The Coun
try Gentleman afSrms tbat the annu
al growth of weeds in this country
amounts to eight million tons, or
enough to load a compact train of
wagons long enough to span the
globe. Precisely how the Country
Gentleman arrives at this very deh-j
nite estimate we are at a io i -terraine;
but it would certainly be
better for the farmer if the weeds
were actually loaded into the "com
pact train of wagons" referred to,
rather than to hare them to choke
his crops and leave an unwelcome
legacy of liberally sown seed for fu
ture seasons. Farmers have only to
consult their own experience to real
ize the extent to which the depreda
tions ot weeds and insects ar car
ried, and anv measures which tend to
even extirpation of these pests arc
worth the trying.
I.on-et Lived Ilea ot JlOdern Tlnir.
Ttamn do Waldeck. a
French
Daintcr. who has just celebrated his
oae hundred and ninth birthday in
Paris, is in perfect health, works
eight cr ten Lours every day, and
has a son on'y twenty-four years old.
It is sorao consolation, observes tLe
I'allMa 11 Ga:elle,to remember thatthe
Baron must still live a considerable
period to rival the fame of old Parr,
who was born HS3, married when
one hundred and twenty years old,
lived to his one hundred aad fifty
third year, and might have
lived longer if Lord Arundell had
not taken him to London from his na
tive Shropshire in 1C35 to exhibit
him as a curiosity to Charles I.
Even old Parr, however, is not the
oldest Englishman of whom wc have
more or less authentic record. Ac
cording to Ingulphus when Turketul,
like a modern statefman, retired from
the world and became Abbott of
Croyland, Le found five very good
monks there. Father Clarenbald, tbc
oldest of these monks, died A. I).
973, in his one hundred and sixty
ninth year. The second, Father
Swarling, died at the age of one hun
pred and forty-two The third,
Father Tugar, was only one hundred
fifteen at his death. The ages of
the other monks, Prune and Aja, who
died about the same time, could not
be ascertained, bat both of them
must have been very old, as they re
membered the old Abby of Croyland,
which had been destroyed by the
Danes in 870.
Another chronicler speaks of a
Bishop of St. David's who died about
this time, aged about one hundred
and sixty years. Though aa incred
ulous generation may now question
the reputed age of these venerable
Englishmen, they are, at all events,
safe from the disparaging starch into
baptismal certificate3 and sifting of
evidence which must now embitter
the last days of all aged people who
hold themselve3 out as centenarians.
"Tickets, Sir.'
This was the way it happeaed in a
town not far from Elmira: One of
the regular attendants at Central
Church is a railroad conductor. He
is regular, not so much from any
personal inclination fcr Culvanism as
from the fact that he has a Grst-raie
Presbyterian wife, who kcaps him
in the way he should go. A few
Sundays since one of the deacons
was absent, and our conductor was
requested to pass the plate. Of
course he consented. For the Crst
dozen pews, everything passed off
well. There was a regular financial
shower of nickels and dimes, and the
railroad man watched sharp, but
couldn't see that anybody "go,
away" without responding. Finally
he came to a seat where the occu
pant was either busted or disinclined,
for he shook his head but made no
attempt on his pocket The conduc
tor looked at him sharply, but no
cash appeared. Then he nudged his
6honlder, aud softly called, "Tickets
sir!" Again the man's head wagged
horizontally, but the stamps didu't
come. "Pass, then!" whispered the
conductor. Still no response. Just
as the railroad chap was about to
call up the fireman and brt-akman to
help pitch the impecunious worshiper
out of doors, the regular deacon
came in and relieved his proxy. The

A Chinese Horse Race.
Good judges tell us that there is
nothing funnier all the world over
than a Chinaman on horseback. Bor
den, a progressive little town ia Cali,
fornia, had a dozen of them a few
days ago, all careeriaj around at cacc
on their fiery, ualaaied steeds, at oae
time. That was funay ; but when it
became kaown that these improved
Mongoliaas were going to have a
race, it a asfuaaier, and Borden went
wild with anticipation of the fua.
Everybody in town turned out to see
the raco. "in fact, they made a day
of it ; the butcher, the" baker, and the
candle-stick maker all closed shops
and followed tho pig-tail jockeys to
the race course. Everything was
done up ia approved style, and the
horses got a good send off, and left
the judges stand all ia a bunch, ketp
insr neck and neck with each other,
just as naturally as if they were not
batki-d by a dozea grinning Chinese.
The pace was not much to brag oa.
though, aad just before they passed
the quarter-mile post a group of dis
gusted spectators thought to stir
them up, and so broke out iu a sud
den piercing yell, as if a thousand
demons brd been Ietbosc all at once.
Then there was a sight that would
have made a dead man laagb. Each
horse straightened Lim.-elt' out and
went to win tLe race on his own
hock, without any regard to his ri
der. Seme took the shortest cut
across the field, aud some picked the
longest way around it ; and no two
went the same way.
H.rrlen will never taow who woa
the race, and some of its citizens
who lent horses to the CLinesu will
never kaow what became of them.
The white people remembered only
that there was a sudden vision of a
dozea affrith'.cd faces, faces that we:c
everything but childlike and bland: j
then there was a confused vision tf ,
fleeing horses, and riders engaged in I
acrobatic feats more astonishing than j
were ever witnessed in a circus. As i
for the Mongolians, only ten of them
crawled back to tell their story. The)
other two may be racing to this day
for aught that Borden knows, for
nothing h3 bten heard of them
since. The ten were packed off to j
town and doctored. TlK-ir broken j
bones were set and their bruises i
rubbed, but nothing could be made of
the story of that race. They talked
enough, but every word of pigeon
English had been frightened out of
their heads, as no one could under
stand a word of their heathen gibber
ish F;cnlly thfy propped one up in a
comfortable position in a saloon and
plied him with occasional d.-iuLts of
select concoctions from the couutc-r;
and after three hours of this sort of
attention, he got a twist with h's
tongue around tie English lingo
once more, an 1 delivered him
self with solemn earnestness to
the following effect : "-Me lunnum
horse boss lacy, all a same Melieaa
man ; bymcby hosse go ; we no come
up, we no can do, you sable, by
daninio. ' It wa3 enough, and Bor
den is downcast ; for it fears tLat the
first Chinese horso race was so much
of a success that they will never be
able t persuade John to try p.nothsr.
What is Uranlj 7
Lord Byron observed justly, tbat
the best part cf beauty is that which
a picture cannot express. Lord
Shaftesbury asserts that all beauty
is truth. True features make the
beauty of the face, and true propor
tions the beauty of architecture, as
true tnraauretb barraonT aad euuhic.
It poetry which is all fubel, truth is
still perfection. Fontenelle thus
daintily compliments the sex when
ho compares women to clocks the
latter serve to poiut out tho hours,
the former to forget them. There is
a magic power in beauty that all con
fess, a strange witchery that enchants
us with a potency as irresistable as
that of a maguet. It is to the mor
al world what gravitation is to the
physical. It is easier to write about
beauty ia women aud all its p.evad
ing influences than to defiuc what it
is. Women arc the poetry of the
world, ia the same sense as the stars
are the poetry of heaven. Clear,
light giving, barmouious, they arc
the terrestial plauets thai rule tLe
destinies of mankind.
On Vt'Hkn Dg ilouite riant.
Have a large pail or tub Oiled with
warm soapsuds, then spreading the
fingers aad palm of the left hand
over the soil in the pot; turn the
branches topsy-turvy into the warm
soap-suds, swing the plant briskly in
the water till every leaf ba.s become
completely saturated, then put it
through a pail of clean water, rub
each leaf with the thumb and finger;
give it a good fchike, and when dry,
return to its place, ia tho window.
The leaves of a plant are its lungs,
each leaf being furnished with hun
dreds of minute pores, whence the
plants breathe in carbon and exhale
oxygen. Tbc perspiration of plants
is said to be seventeen times that of
a human bedy. Many plants never
bloom on account of the accumula
tion of dust upon their leaves. A
plant too large to be laid down in a
tub, as above described, may be syr
inged and each leaf rubbed clean
with the finger and thumb, which are
better for this purpose than a brush
or cloth. Land and Baicr.
