( According to rrnfwor John P. SoumT
Hie well known lra-lor of tho Marine
Hand at AVashi nton. the United states
one of tho greatest and most, powerful
nations in the world, is the only one not
having a distinctive national air.
For more than a dozen years Professor
Sousa has been collcrtinj; national nim
rod songs. Last May he was authorized
ny the iNavy Department to mnkc a com
Jiilation of these airs and the -York is now
nearly completed. This is only the
lourth time any attempt has been made
to publish in book form the national airs
of the world. The hist work published
was undertaken hy a German house as fl
pnvato speculation, ami included the
songs of fifty nations. Professor Sousa
already tins 111! airs in tvne. and before
the work is completed he will have half
as many more.
It was while discussing national music
hat Professor Sousa made the startling
statement tliat we have no national air.
"But how about 'Hail Columbia,' 'The
Star Spangled Rumor,' 'My Country,'
and a few more of the same sort, gener
ally considered national airs: ' n was
asked.
' "People confound a national air with
a popular and patriotic one," replied
Professor Sousa. "In Kuropc they have
national airs because they have been
made so either by the Government or by
the people, and on all ceremonial occa
sions they nre played as a matter of
course. For example, England has 'God
Have the Queen.' France 'I.a Marseil
laise,' and so on. Now, in England, at
an affair of state, whenever the ljueen is
present the bands play 'God Save the
Queen,' and the bandmasters of the Life
Guards or the Gnldst renin Guards or
any other good band do not have to ask
what air they shall play. They know
only one tunc is admissible. And' when
an Englishman hears the air, no matter
where he is. off comes his hat and he re
mains standing until the last note. Chil
dren are taught it at school, and they
think it is na sacred ns a hymn. Hut
with us, when the President takes part
in any ceremony, one band may piny
'America' and the other 'The" Star
Spangled Banner,' according to the taste
uf the conductor."
"Then Congress by an net could
create a national air!"
"Well, hardly. Congress can do a
great many things but it cannot do that.
The national air of the people must come
from some great event in tho life of the
Kation, perhaps some crisis. It must be
spontaneous ; it must appeal to national
pride and the national sentiment, and
then, when it does that, the country
takes it up and clings to it ns jealously
' as It does to its other traditions. Take
it as an illustration 'Rule. Britannia,'
which, while not the national air of Eng
land, is its first cousin. There is a calm
assurance about the words which arc
pleasing to the average Englishman.
When Napoleon was assembling his big
fleet at Boulogne to invade England we
nre toia mat me people went about sing
ing 'Rule Britannia,' and I "verily believe
they thought that was answer enough to
the threats of a French invasion."
"M'asu't the Civil War a great enough
crisis to inspire, the best efforts of nni
aicians?" o" "
"L'ndoubtrilyrlmt vou must remember
thejrntuJCrrn. divided, and the work
0 Northern composer would not have
. iiccn ncccpiuDie to me people of the
South. If, however, the country had
risen against a foreign foe any song com
posed at that time would have fired the
national heart, and if of the right kind
would have been accepted bv the neonle.
It ig true we went through a crises in the
early days of the Republic,-but Tguess
in those days our ancestors, were too
busy fighting to pay much attention to
music. 'Hail Columbia' belongs to the
last century, but it was composed by a
German, the leader of the John Street
Theatre, in New York, in compliment to
General Washington, and for many years
it was known as 'The President's Starch.'
We ought not to adopt ns our national
air the wAc of a foreigner. The words
of the 'Star Spangled Banner' uro Ameri
can, but the music is English."
"Ia your investigations what have
Itruck you as the peculiarities of national
authenist"
"Perhaps the most striking thing is
that the national nil's of tho great coun
tries are short, while those of the little
countries are very long. For instance,
God Pave the Queen' is H bars; the
Ituuian national is 16 b.-trs, and 'Hail
Columbia, 'the foremost among the Amer
ican national airs has 28 bars. On the
other hand, Hiara's untiontd air has 76
bars, that of Uruguay, 70; Chili's 40, and
to on. The national air of China is to
long that when the people want to hear
it they have to take half a day off to
listen to its ancient strains. Another
thing I have learned, is that with hardly
an exceptlou the national airs of all the
savage or semi -civilized nations are writ- I
ten in the major key." j

A Century nnil n Half of Life.
For several years there has been domi
ciled at the Monterey County Hospital in
California, an Indian known by the name
of "Old Gabriel." As to the exact day,
month or year of his birth, proof is want
ing; but of the fact that lie has passed
the wonderful nge of 150 years there is a
ipiantity of evidence. He was born in
Tulare County, but during childhood re
moved to the town of Monterey. Father
Jnnipero Serra arrived in Monterey in
1770, and it is well authenticated that at
that time Gabriel was a grandfather. The
youngest nge nt which nn Indian married
wns fifteen years. If Gabriel followed
the custom and married nt that age, he
would necessarily have been nt least thirty
two or thirty-three years old to have been
a grandfather nt the time of Father Juni
pcro's landing there. Father Jnnipero
taught Gabriel the art of rutting and lny
ingstone, and nt the time of building the
first c-ktpel, in the years 1771 and 1772,
Gabriel assisted in the construction of the
walls. He became so expert nt his trade
that he managed the construction of the
San Antonio Mission in 1781. He then
married his second wife. Father Sorrcn
tini, the priest, and Bishop Amat reached
.Monterey some time in tho year 1845.
lneiormer says mar. inn uaonel was
then living with his sixth wife, and he
was by many years the senior of all the
old inhabitants. He was then known by
the same name, and was said to be at that
time over 110 years of age.
A widely known old lady by the name
of Castro, who died five years ngo at the
age of ninety-five, in testifying to Old
Gabriel's age, said that when a child she
saw him and that time he had children
several years older than she was.
Gabriel remained at Old Capitol until
a few years ago, when ho removed to
Salinas Valley, where he has lived ever
since. Up to within two or three years,
he was a familiar figure on the streets of
Salinas City, but now he is rarely seen,
as his trips from the hospital to the town
are becoming less frequent. He has al
ways been fond of striking colors, and
for years wore a coat made of cloth rep
representing all the colors of the rain
bow. A'cie York Tribune.
When the King Drinks.
Whenever King Pua, of Africa, writes
S. R. Werner in his book. "A Visit to
Stanley's Bear Guard," took a drink of
palm wine, or nte his meals, one of his
wives produced a hard, dry nut, about
the size of an egg, with one end cut off,
and the inside hollowed out. This nut he
slowly placed on tho great toe of his left
foot ; this done the palm wine or food
was placed before him, and a slave boy
came and stood behind him with a haud
bell. Every time he took a mouthful of
food or a drink of inassunga or palm
wine, he wrapped the bottom of the
canoe with the nut on his great toe,
while a tinkle on the bell announced to
all w hom it might concern that Dua, of
lkiMingu, was eating or drinking, as the
cate might be. Ho went through the
iaiuo ceremony when smoking, taking a
long pull at his pipe for every wrap of
his toe and tinkle on his bell.

HOW TO CIVK CHICKS A 1"A1H SHOW.
When chicks of different ages nre run
mug together nnd older birds are aNnit,
tho food for the little ones should b
thrown under slated coops into which
only such can enter. This will savo tin
youngest and the delicate from boinq
trampled upon nnd crowded out, and will
give them chance to cat their fill nt theii

means, nnd more often than not will b
found waiting in the pens for tho food

TREATMENT OK lUTKWIIKAT.
Buckwheat, often called "Iho lazy
man's crop," deserves belter treatment
than it generally gets. It is a "catch
crop," easily grown between regular suc
cession crops, and will respond t.i more
generous usnirc than is frcuucntlv no.
corded it. The grain itself is nutritive
and palatable, giving both heat and mus-cle-ninking
constituents, and brings, ns a
rule, fairly remunerative prices, com
pared with other cereals. Manuro with
a liberal hand, or fertilize with, say, 300
pounds of a good superiihosnhirt'e. and
see the difference in the result compared
with the one grown on the thin, poor
land fo which it is generally nllotted.

A duck should lay 120 eggs a year if
of good breed, nnd in March and April
the eggs sell for twice a much as hens'
eggs. If we tako the weight of theeggs
iu consideration, the duck lays as much
in one year as tho lien does in "two years.
jVs ducks make rapid growth nnd lay
large eggs "early and often," they nre,
as a consequence, very voracious, and re
quire a large amount of food, but ns they
will eat anything that is eatable, and pre
fer bulky food they nre not expensive,
considering the service they perform. A
good Pekin, Aylesbury. Brazilian or
Houen duck will show excellent results
from the management given, nnd will
yield a profit far beyond anything that
cau be derived from the common duck.
A mess of cooked turnips or potatoej
makes nn excellent meal for them. Grass
chopped fine and sprinkled with meal, is
another cheap food. If they have n pas
ture they will seek their own food, re
quiring only a ltttlc grain at night. In
winter, chopped, scalded hay is excellent
for them. Whon laying they should bi
given an allowance of chopped, fresh
meat three times a week. Soft food it
preferred by them to whole grains.
Though nn aquatic bird, the duck loves
dry place nt night, nnd should sleepjaj

- SOW FALL BPISACH.
Spinach is a crop that can be obtained
for tho tablo continuously all tho sum
mer by successional sowing. But spring
and fall nre the times when one looks foi
a dish of spinach. Iu tho spring-time it
is especially valuable as among the first
green crops to come in. In localities
where the climate is not quite so severs
as with us, it is easily kept out-of-doors
all winter and ready to start into fresh
grow th as soon as the frost leaves. In
the North, where tho snow covers the
ground early, there is also no diflitilty.
For ordinary culture a slight protection
is easily applied with corn stalks, straw
and so on. This, however, does not pay
for the marketmnn.
The time to sow for fall use is August.
If the growing weither continues late,
some cuttings nre obtained ns soon as the
leaves nre largo enough to handle, eveu
up to November. If these leaves are
plucked, others continue to grow, so thnt,
for fall or spring use, ono sowing will
furnish a good many dishes. When tho
crop is growing in the summer, it quick
ly goes into seed, and tho whole plant is
then cut oil nnd used.
An ounce of seed contains some 2100,
and is enough for family use. If to
stand all the winter, September is early
enough to sow. The best w inter spinach
is the prickly or winter; for summer use,
the round-seeded.
Except tho months of January nnd
February, August is a month requiring
less labor in tho vegetable garden than
any other. Usually all the planting has
been done iu July. Such as may still be
planted are late celery. Radish and
other salads aro always in sensouand
may yet be sown. Prairie Farmer.
rOTATO EOT rilEt'Al'TION.
Many a potatogrower who uatuially
expected, and ought to have, 200 bushels
per acre, write Professor Byron I). Hal
stcd, in the New York Tribune, finds the
yield less than 100 bushels of second-rate
tubers, somo of which are decayed and
many more affected a disheartening out
come largely due to excessive grow th of
a fungus that first attacked the upper
leaves, and from there rapidly passed
into the stems and down to the tubers.
This mildew is so small that when seen
iu quantity it appears like a frosty cover
ing on the surface of the decaying leaf,
lu a short time the viues become ntfected,
turn brown nnd die, after which tliero
ran be no further growth of tubers. I
find many large fields thus prematurely
dead. The soil is loaded with water
by recent heavy rains a condition most
favorable for decay of the potatoes. It is
therefore evident (the mildew being a
lover of moisture) that the tubers should
be removed from the soil nnd kept dry
and cool. It will be well to leave the
potatoes on tho ground long enough to
dry oil completely, after which they may
be stored where they will not be covered
with any moisture. A good way, until
cold weather comes, would be to placo
them iu nn airy loft or barn, either iu a
thin layer on a dry floor or in shallow
bins. A sprinkling of air-slaked lime, a
handful to a bushel, may "be applied when
placed in the bin to kill any germs that
may bo on their surface. The vines
should have bicn burned before the po
tatoes were dug. Frequent visits should
bo made to the storage-room and auy de
caying tubers removed before they con
taminate Mirroundiug potato;"). Pota
toes this year arc likely to be high-priced,

but this does not prove that they would
hot bo hotter, and be mora comfortable
with it. About ono ounce daily is suffi
cient for swine wcii-hing from 100 to
200 pounds, nnd this should bo increased
to two ounces when they aro fattened
tiiiou corn or other raw grain. When
pigs nre fed on slops from tho house they
will usually obtain all the salt they need
in their food, but if a little more is added
it will do no harm, nnd may prevent
cholera nnd tho much-feared kidney
worm. Many experiments have been
tried in feeding swino salt, and nil show
that in moderate quantities it is beneficial.

In the olden timt it wns thought
necessary to dry the entire moisture out
of the new cut grass before it was put
away for hay. This has been discovered
to be an error. The best hay is that
which has been but partially dried before
goiug into the stack. The study and ex
periment with ensilage led to this dis
covery. Cracked hoofs frequently result from a
wound of tho coronet and should bo
treated as follows : The coronet should
be blistered where the crack starts, nnd a
Y-shaped mark should be cut with a file
nt the top of the crack to separate it from
the new horn. Glycerino should be
applied to the hoof, which should be
bandaged with leather drawn tight by
means of a lace.
Stalo butter may be much improved
hy washing it in clear water, cutting
the butter into thin slices with

sweet skimmed milk in a churn, by which
tho acidity is neutralized to some extent.

move the milk, resalted and mado up for
use. It cannot be kept without de
terioration longer than a few days.
Fortune Telling hy the Finger Xalls.
Fortune telling by means of the tingei

tails, thus prepared, against the sun, and
pon tho transparent horny substanct
s'cre supposed to appear figures or char
icters, which gave the answer required,
(n more recent times, people have been
found predicting by menus of the naih

sf persons with certain descriptions ol
tails. However absurd 5t may appear,

stition: A person with broad nails in ol

whose nails grow into the flesh at the
points or sides are given to luxury. A
white mark on the nail bespeaks of mis
fortune. Persons with very pale nails nre
subject to niuiji infirmity of the tlesh,
snd persecution by neighbors and friends.
People with narrow nails are ambit imit

A 111 no Lobster.
A genuine blue lobster of good sire has
been captured nt MarshHeld, Mass. Noth
ing of tho sort has been found before
iu those waters, although a case wr.s re
ported some years ago from Long Island
Sound. This lobster is of a pure ultra
marine blue of handsome shade. Along
the back the color of this singular crusta
cean is almost ns dark ns indigo, but at
the sides it is ns light as a robin's egg,
nnd in tho joints of tho shell shades
away to a delicate cream color. In an
firdinary lobster these parts would 13
shaded in dark nnd light greens. Tho
claws of the bluo lobster nro slightly
mottled in shades of blue and purple on
top and n most delicate cream under
neath. The lobster car hns been a cen
ter of interest for the curious since the
capture. It wns caught in nn ordinary
pot, and it differs in no way except in

How a Breed of Sheep Originated.
The well-known Ancon or otter breed
of sheep, now extinct, arose in the hist
century in Massachusetts by the acci
dental birth of a ram with crooked legs
and a long back like a turnspit. These
peculiarities rendered him unable to
leap fences, nnd as this was a point of
great importance to the early settlers this
ram was selected for breeding, nnd his
nbnormalities of structure was faithfully
transmitted. The breeds of Mauchamp
sheep and Niiita cattle had a somewhat
similar origin. Vhnmlvrt't Journal,
