Diamond Cnt Diamond. About ten days ago an aged, tall and thin eentleican, with a trouty lee-, F out of an omnibus at Hurst's Hotel, St. Louis. He was registered as CoL Starr, of Missis sippi, and it was said that he was an im mensely wealthy Southern planter. He nt d a constant visitor to his room in the person of Syl Howard, who is well known around town among professional gamblers and the inference was that he was sitting up with the pr uty stranger to entertain sum aLd enrich biaiself with friendly games of draw poker. Syl Howard not only al lowed people to think in Mis way, nut ne occasionally vouchsafed a bit of informa tion, to the effect that the Colonel was an easy prey to anybody who had the slight est acquaintance witn t be game 01 poaer. This information he was zealous in Im parting to professional gamblers and lately be wi nt among them and offered not only to "otter" them against the planter, but to combine with anybody disposed to enter into a couibinatien against the old gentle man to win his money and make him pay as dearly as his unlimited purse would permit for his pleasure. The professional usually jumped at the offer, and the two made their way togeth er to room 29. There they found (JoL Starr seated at a table with one leg done up in a voluminous bandiure, and cleverly displayed on a chair. The Colonel was seen to be a gentleman ot about 60 years. witn short white bair and a small snow. while tuft on the end of his chin. His manners were found to be very gruff, and after the opening salutation he had little to say except to accept tbe offer to join the newcomer in a two handed game of cards. Then came out an old time oack of cards. Tbe rlantir explained in as few words as possible that be had no confi dence in the new style of cards, with the value of the face marked in one corner. and be was afraid of having marked cards used against him. He was very fond of cards as an innocent pastime, and being obliged, fcy reason of his infirmity, to in dulge in this' pleasure, he took every pre caution against tbe possibility of being cheated. All this, of course, only made the professional more confident of his prey, and caused him to look with little distrust if any, upon the subtequent proceeding. Then tbe game ran with Syl Howard standing behind Ihe planter, so as to give his friend, the professional, the promised tip. Tbe ante was $2 60, and there was no limit to the bet. As tbe game went on Howard, by means of signp, informed the professional of tbe value of tbe planter s hand, giving him tne straight tip everv time, iiut strange to say tbe professional lost right all id e. Howard would make ring with bis fort finger and thumb to communicate the fast to the professional that the planter bad no pair. 1 he pro fessional, having an ace and king, would bet high, Lut when it came to taking in the pot tbe planter .Lowed an ace, king and queen, and the money was bis. The result was the earne when the planter had a small pair, tbe professional was also provided with a peir, and after having bet to bis heart s content, he usually discover ed that it was smaller than the pair tbe planter held. The professional invariably lo6t his money on small bauds, and con- tinued U attribute his losses to had luck nntil al: his money was gone. Col. Starr got on swimmingly. Nearly every professional in tbe city bad bitten at Howard's bait. The planter (rot several thousand dollars of St Louis gamblers' money and would have had more were it not for a very unfortunate circumstance. Jerry Kobinson was steered against the planter by Howard, and lost $10a. Think: ing he was only out of luck, he asked an adjournment cf the game until he could go to bis room to get $100 more. Tbe leave was given. Kubinson returned, and in a few minutes tbe letter's 1239 was in the planter's little spring lock drawer. It suddenly downed iijon Hobinson that he had been victimized, and, going to the police, he gave information that led to tbe arrest of tbe wealthy Miksissippian. Howard was a 'capper" for Starr, who Is a shrewd and tharp gambler. The two effected a combination against the profes sion, and such of the p blic as cared to to walk into their trap, first in Hot Springs, Arkansas, where Starr kept an office opposite the principle hotel, and played himself eff as a gouty planter with a penchant for poker, just as he did in St. Louis. He makes it a poiut to win on small hands, uscbis own marked cards, and throws tbe victim off bis guard by in terspersing tbe game with frequent grunts against professional gamblers. Weighing A Bos. A dog fiht sends tbe pulse of a village up to 1-iO, and a Iixit race or a knock down will almost restore gray hairs to their orig inal color; but lor real excitement let a man come alonj in front of tbe tavern about 6UDlown driving a bog. "Hey, wbre are you going?" 'G'jng to sell this hog.'- "Hold on a minute! How much does he weigh I" "OhJ about 225." "You're off; be won't go over 200." Every chsir is vacated on that in? taut Every eye is fastened on tbe bog rooting in the gutter, and every man flatters himself that be can guiss within a pound of the pjrker s weigi'L "Tfcat hog will ju?t exactly go 195 pounds" says the blacksmith, after a long squint. "He won't go an ounce over 185," adds the co per. "I've got a $2 biil that says that hog will kick at 210," says the hardware "You must be wild" growls the grocer; "I can't see ovtr 150 pounds of meat there." Twenty men take a walk around the porker, and squint and shake their heads and look wise, and the owner finally says: "If he don't go o?r 200 I shall feel that I am bo guesser." "Over 200! If that hog weighs 200 pounds I'll treat this crowd," exclaims the owner of the 'bus line. "I dunno 'bout that," niuseu the "Squire who is on his way to the grocery after butter. "Some hots weigh more and some icae. Wbat breed is this bog?" "Berkshire." W ell, 1 ve seen some otheji Berk shires that weiglietl like a load o sand and then as-ain 1 ve seen 'em where tbey was all skin and bone. Has anybody guessed mat tins bog will weicb 6007 "No." Well, thats a leeile steep, but I've kinder sot my idea on 260." By this time ihe crowd has increased to a hundred and tbe excitement is intense. Tbe 'Squire lays half a dollar on 250, and the owner of tbe bog rakes in several bets on "between 220 and 225." The porker is driven to the bay scales and the silence is almost painful as the weighing takes place. "Two hundred ana twenty-three," calls the weigher. Growls and lamentations smite the eve ning air, and stakeholders pass over the wagers to the iucky guesser, chief of whom is the owner of tbe hog. " VV ell, I'm clear beat out, " says the 'Squire. "I felt dead sure he would weigh over 30O." "Oh, I knw you were all way off," ex plains me guiieiess owner. "When we weighed him here at noon he tipped at ex actly 323, and 1 knew he couldn't have picked up or lost over a pound. " Temperature of tbe Schoolroom Teachers should be careful in ventilatin g the school rooms during school hours. It is not a very good policy to open the win dows from above and below at the same time and permit the damp, cold air to rush over the warm bodies or the scholars, chill ing them and causing tbe children to take a heavy cold. The teacher may be com fortable enough while moving about the room, but it is certainly a different matter with the scholars who are compelled to sit quiet. j AGRICULTURE. The Fecsino or Old Thus, -It is hard ly necessary to explain that old tree re quire more cautious treatment than young er ones, which may, if necessary, be re modeled. In pruning an old tree it it not a question of a leader or of increasing the rze, and It la only desirbie to regulate tne shape of tbe head somewhat by shortening when necessary, such brandies as inter. fere, by their length or position, .with tbe equilibrium of tbe tree itself, or injur ot ti er trees in its vicinity. Tbe beads of old trees should, as far as possible, be reduced to a more or less rounded ovoid, tbe lower branches being the shortest. The main branches should be left nx to twelve feet. or even larger if they are furnished with sufficient shoots to regulate the flow of sap, although it may be well to repeat that tlie branches of the beach should not be short rued, unless it can be done in such a man ner as to insure, by abundant foliage at their ends, the supply of aap necessary for the regular development of the tree. In shortening its branches it is Qimcult, espe cially for beginners in the art ol pruning, to determine the point at which the oper ation is best performed. Practice and ex perience soon teach this, however; ana, even if a few branches die under the oper ation, ni very serious damage has been done. Two or three large branches can be safely removed at one time from old trees, and, although tt is not desirable to make many wounds on the trunk, they are less injurious than dead and decaying bwakche. which produce cavities in the trunk Ihtt should be avoided at any cost. The blanches of an old tree should not be allowed to interfere with tbe growth of a younger tree standing near and intended to replace it. In cases of this sort tne branches of the old tree should be out in on the side nearest the young tree much more severely than if it stood by itself. How to ilovx Sim One year ago we moved aa apiary of 185 colonies just Otteen rods, without the loss of a bee. Again in May we removed our entire apiary about ight rods to another yard, with the same result. Not to exceed twenty-five Dees ever returned to the old yard, and before night they were all at home and at work. The rules we followed in both cases were as follows: Remove just after dark in the evening, and after giving the colonies plen ty of room in the hive (by putting on an empty upper story ), conline them. When you remove them shake them up, so that they may realize all night that they are prisoners. Leave no colonies on the old ground, which smooth off as aa level as you can, and remove everything you ran handily that would be an old familiar "landmark." If a bee is to recognize the yard, make it difficult for him to locate the position be once occupied therein. Keep the bees confined the nxt morning till the sun gets well up, and they begin to get quite uneasy. Then go and place a board, say a foot or eighteen inches wide, up against the entrance end cf the hive, and lean it away so that it will be, say, about one foot rrom the entrance; then open up, and as soon as the bees emerge they will discover at once that tbey are la a new place, and must fly out sidewise, and every one will mark the new location, and even if one in a hund-ed should go to tbe old yard from the blossoms, be also knows of another location, and will then try that on. and stay where he finds his old hive and home. I believe in this theory, and know it in practice. TiaTise Seeds. We have noticed on former occasions the very useful eiDeri ments of Prof. Beat, of the Michigan Agri cultural College, in testing various garden and farm seeds, and thus determining be forehand their germinating quality. The disappointment and positive loss in plant ing bad seeds and losing a crop for a whoie sec son greatly exceeds tbe labor of testing. A counted number may be placed in pots properly filled with fine, mellow earth, in a warm place; or they may be put between several folds of spongy brown paper in a warm place and kept damp by daily sprinkling. Gjod seeds will not be many days in snowing their quaatv. writer to th? 1'bactical f a&MKa says he tests his feeds with little trouble in large pots in a small greenhouse, and has thus tested in tbe past two months up wards ot 8 (JO samples of vegetable seeds, and he wonders why so many farmers omit so easy an experiment on their farm seeds. G aedes Walks. Old tan bark makes a cool and delightful walk under the shade of trees. It must be laid on a dry bottom, or it becomes very unpleasant In wet weather. Slag from furnaces ground up witn ashes is tne very best material for garden walks, and the color it fur more agreeable in hot weather than gravel. Not withstanding its dark eolor, it is not so hot and it does not pack quite so hard as tbe regular road material. Sand, on the other hand, though it does not pack at all, very hot, on account of the very hard na ture of its panicles: Tie husbandman reports an expetunent made with coal abacs, applied at the rate of 200 bushels to 20 square rods, or 10 bushels to tbe square rod. The ashes were drawn on late in the antumn and spread on the ground, which had been recently plowed. In the spring the plowing was repeated toorougbly mixing tbe ashes w;th the soil. The ground was planted with garden vegetables. The beneficial result was in the correction of tne heavy charac ter of the soil, the ashes acting mechani cally and not as a manure, and producing a saiisiaciory improvement. Wrebe to Plast Shade Trees. -Sbade- trees are oiten planted too near to our dwellings and too thickly, so aj to make the bouse dark and damp and cheerless. Large evergreens are very much out f place on the sunny side of the house, while tbey form an appropriate screen a&d wind break along the cold and exposed sides of our buildings. Set out tree it is a duty; but set them ludicie.uily.

Kakuebs aie often at a loss bow to clean an old pork barrel, making it fresh and sweet. We have seen the following plan recommended. It is simply to till the tainted cask or barrel with Ireth earth; let it stand a couple of days, when this should be emptied out and more earth put in. Af ter two or three days empty this out, and to make assurance doubly sure, invert the barrel and burn under it tome bits of cloth saturated with solutions of sulphur brim stone. CovBBiNO or Stkaweebkies. Ine cov ering of a strawberry bed should be re moved as toon at the growth begins.

It would be better te remove the covering wholly at once than to permit this to happen.

He adopts Holmgren's classifi cation of color-blindness according to which complete color-blindness it divisi ble into three kinds: Ked-blindneas, green- blindness and violet-blindness Of these, he says the first two are overwhelmingly more important than all the other varieties whether of complete or partial color-blind ness. The violet blindness is compara tively rare and is not known to be a source of harm or danger in any way. fossibly, however, it may cause some errors in paint ings, decorations and dress.
