THE SHAITS TOUR. Tenia's Potentate Will Visit Europe This Summer. Gjod Results From Previous Trips to the Continent. Tlic Shah of Persia will visit Enropo for tho fourth time this summer. In some respects hid Inst vihit was not wholly gratifying to tho Shah, thongh its effects nro said to havo been salu tnry. .TiiKt before ho left Teheran ft number of soldiors, whoso pay was luiu in arrears, crowded around his -majesty's carriagjo to present a peti tion. Tho police undertook to dis perse tho crowd, thoro was a slight scuIMj and two or three stones hit tho royal carriage. Tiio police arrested a il ;:cii soldiers, and nt tho Hlinh's com man I thoy were brought before him. Ho was terribly inclined nt tho indig nity his throne hud stifL-red, and al though it was not shown that tho sol fliers had thrown tho stones or wero guilty of intentional disropect, thoir sovereign, without hearing a word from them, sonteuccd tho poor fellows t iiumedinto death, and they wero thereupon strangled in his presence. Tho shocking story reached Europe in advance of tho Shah, and every Court ho visited made it very plain to his Oriental majesty that tho western world was not pleasod with such dis plays of despotic power. Mr. Benja min, then American minister at Tehe ran, siys that tho indignation so gen orally expressed in Europe had an ex collont and abiding affect upon tho SUnh's character. After his return home his subjects were not afllicted by tho Khan with similar displays of bar barism. IYrsia and her eovoreign lnve been, without doubt, considerably influenced by constantly increased contact with weHtern civilization. The Shah is said to be far more hu mane than any of his pedecessors. 'Tho keopors of tho royal stables no longer lose their heads if tho Shah's horses fail to win in tho races. Tho Shah has tho reputation, on tho whole, of ruling his people merci fully, and, though they suil'or many wrongs nt tho hands of greedy and corrupt agents of his power, thero is no doubt that tho Shah personally has tho ntt'ection and tho rcspoct of his subjects. Tho purpose of his coming journoy is said to be to visit tho chief indus trial centers of Europe It is known that tho Shah favors tho introduction into Persia of railroads and other fruits of western civilization. Tho homes of the wealthy throughout Per sia already abound with rich furnish ings, transported at a groat cost from Europe. When a powerful and intel ligent rnlor like the Shah of Persia, who is furthermore very desirous to promote the material advancement of his country, visits Europe to study its industrial systems and enterprises, the fact is significant and gratifying. It is not unlikoly to have a far groator result in promoting civilization and trado than tho prolonged efforts of many missionaries and com mercial agonts. The Fans of Japan. The Japanese nchiwa, or fiat fan, nt homo and in history is a very much more interesting objeot than the mod ern specimon of its kind in an English room. One of its most curious varie ties is tho iron war fan, inventod in the eleventh century fur tho use of military commauders, either for di rection and signalling, or as a shield Jul' defense. Those war fans woro made of leather and iron, one sido being varuishod with red lacquer, with the emblem of Buddha und some othor native device. Tho water funs aro made of bamboo and thinly lacquered, so that they m ly bo dippod in water to soouro ex tra coolness while funning. To harden these fans they are dippod in shibu juice, which also acts as a dye, turning red when exposed to the air. Another kind of uchiwa is the revolving flat fun, which whirls round its stiok and can bo rolled up. Another strong flat paper fan is used as bellows to blow tho charcoal fire iu the kitchen. Among tho folding fans, or ogi, the hi wood funs are the most beautiful ; thoy are painted with flowers and tied with whito silk. Anciently they were hung with artilluial flowers made of silk. These were the court fans, and difl'eront flowers wore appropriated by different great fuinilies, so that fan answered tho purpose of armorial bearings. . Sometimes these beautiful ooiivt fans were made of ivory and partly lacquered, thus becoming groat works of art. Folding fans also served tho purpose of ensigns in war, and au enormous fan, mita ogi, giant fan, was carried in processions in honor of the sun goddess. Children and dolls have funs of their own, as exquisite as they aro tiny. Ibmrers and jugglers ctrry peculiar fins; thoro is a tea fan, rikin, used at tho ancient tea ceremony, a solomn feast among tho Japanese. This is hot for tho nudignifled purpose of fan ning, but Jfor handing littlo cakes, Tho ogi fan is vulgarised nowadays by being covered with European adver tisements, and till newspapers fonnd their way into Japan it was tho only gnzotto. It was also nsod as a medium for caricatures, chiefly of Western manners. Tho Spectator. Odd Eyrs of Poop Sea Fish. Tho eyes of deep sea fish aro very varied. Some have neither eyes nor sight. Others have greatly enlarged eyeballs, so ns to catch tho least glimpse of light. Their eyes tend either to disappear or to bo unusually efficient, but since no ray of sunlight cm penetrate to any great depth, Bnd nt it is probably quito dirk beyond a depth of some 200 fathoms, of what uso can eyes be? Chamber's Journal says that fish have been captured at a depth of near ly 3000 fathoms, whero thero must be not only absolute stillness but also to tal darkness, except for the fact that some of these deep sea creatures are phosphorescent, and therefore lumin ous. This fact was ascertained in tho Challenger expedition. Siuce then Mr. Alcoek, of tho Indian marine sur vey, has found that some deep sea crustaceans have a similar power, ono largo prawn quite lighting tip a buck etful of wator in which it was placed. Fish with largo eyes hive, therefore, a hotter chance of finding food and mates, bnt they cannot wholly depend upon sight, since some have quite aban doned all attempts to sec. Some, again, have luminous organs on thoir head or body or tail, which nro under their control, so thot they can actually throw light at pleasure on their prey or extinguish it at times of danger. Thus the angler, among othors, attract) its prey by moans of those colored lures or phospoorescont lights. It has been well said that these "vaHt profounds of the deep havo becomo a sort of nlmshonsa or asylum, wherennto antiquated forms havo retired, and amid the chnngclosa environment havo dwolt for ages unal tered." Open Air Ethics. "Keep in tho open air as much as possiblo," is tho first and great com innndmeut that should bo urged in the spring. During tho winter wo necesmrily livo a more or loss unnatural life We breatho tho air vitiated by furnace boat, with all the vital qualities baked out of it, and hence during the winter we subject ourselvos to a gradual pro cess of slow poisoning, Tho antidote for this poisoning is fresh air. So this universal instinct to get out of doors during tho spring of the year is a natural instinct which, liko all natural instincts, has a causo based on the eternal condition of things. It is nature's offort to expel tho stored-up poison accumulated during the win tor. Man is naturally an open air ani mal. But climatic conditions render open-air lifo sometimes impossible. As soon, howover, as these conditions are removed tho old primal instinct to got out boneath tho sky usserts itself, and this instinct cannot be disregard ed except at tho peril of heulth. Get out in the open air every day and stay thore as long as possible. It will make you better physically, men tully and morally. Bostou Globo. His Namo on a Turtle. John Neubert of tho Teton, while chopping ice near the shore for a wa tering place for the cattle, struck through tho ice and the bit of the axe was embedded in the mud at the bot tom of tho stream, which wai very shallow at thut point. Mr. Neubert thought he felt something moving whon the axe struck iu the mud, and, pursuing his investigations further, he pulled out a good-sized mud turtle bearing on its sholl, "J. N., 1857," and "J. N., 1871." Mr. Neubort remembers having pnt the first initials on a turtle at the mouth of Milk river in 1857. and the latter initials in 1871 upon the turtle when he found it twenty-three years ago on a sand bar in the Missouri at Doveroaux bottom, just above Fort Benton. The turtle meandered up and down through two decades until it finally brought up at the rauoh of its old acquaintance. Mr. Keubert again pnt an inscrip tion on its shell, which read; "Hon. J. N., pub. adm'r, 1894," and return ed it to the river. ' Where he finds it again only time can tell M'jutuua Biver Press. FOR FARM AXD UARUEX. TO MARK FENCE PORTS Dl'ItADLE. Fenco posts aro made very durable if tho part to go in the ground is stooped in limo water. This is most easily dono by putting tho posts, butts down, in a pit two foot deep, with fresh limo mixed in among them and some nnder thorn.

ONIONS IX SUCCESSIO!. Tho onion crop is the one that al ways used to be the best grown on the same land year aftor year. But since tho pomiug of tho old onion maggot this plan is not so safe as it used to bo, Tho advantages of growing on the samo land were that in this way whon onco cleaned of weeds it could bo kept clean, and much of the fertil ity of ono year remained for the next season. It is best to use considerable mineral fertilizer in growing clover, and nitrate of soda is preferable to stablo manuro for furnishing nitrogen. No coarso manure should be used in any event, and by tho timo stablo manuro is roducod iu bulk by com posting it costs more to manuro an onion crop in that way than with the commercial fertilizers. Onion ground should be fall plowed, or else follow n crop of potatoes.

THE PROFITABLE DAIRY COW, Ono very common mistake with dairymen, writes H. Hamilton in tho American Agriculturist, is to reckon the value of a cow by hor yearly yield of milk or butter. Perhaps, as a gen eral rule, such a standard would more often be right than wrong, but at the same time it very often proves a false standard. At the Ponsylvania experi ment station some very elaborato ex periments were carriod out, testing the profit of cows in milk and butter making. All the food was carefully weighed and charged. Marguerito produced 0,512 pounds of milk and 296 pounds of butter, whilo Ramoua produced 5,459 pounds of milk and 279 pounds of butter. Ordinarily the dairyman would pronounco Marguerito tho hotter cow of the two, but ac counts had boon kept with thorn, and it was found, at the end of the year, that Marguerito hud made a profit of only $31.50, while Ramoua returnod a clear profit of 3d. 50. All cows have what is called a nor mal appetite ; that is, they will con sume food up to a certain point, with a return in the pail of profit, but all fed beyond that amount is not only lost, but actually injures the cow. Every man who handles cows Bhould test each one for at least a week dur ing the fourth month from calviug, and by using settle on the feed and a Baboook test on the milk, find out where the normal limit of each cow stands. One testing will probably last the cow's lifetime. This individ ual testing it particularly valuable, owing to the remarkable variation in the appetito and assimilating powers of different cowi. ' ' The writer once ownod two Jerseys, One was the largest oow, the largest eater and the smallest milker i while the other was the smallest oow, tho smallest eater and the largest milker iu the herd. Another oow was the fattest and among the. 'smallest milk, ers, bat so steady, was her flow , from end to end of the season that she aver aged Urge when thoy oaf's figures were tummed tip. One of tho interesting features of dairying is finding out these queer creatures, to say nothing of the lhrk sheep you ft ml in the herd, and that nro profitably parted with to the first butcher who fancies them. AVOID IXBREEMKO 1! TOfLTRV. Improvo your stook at every con venient opportunity, by a change of blood whenever this is needed. In troduce among your hens fresh sires, nt tho very least. This change will always prove beneficial, mora or less, if caro bo taken iu selecting the new male birds you bring into your yards. Tho clllcicy of this syatom has been proved timo and time again by old cockers, who rarely or never breed a game cock two years iu succession to their game hens. Tho pernicious effects of in-and-in breeding is seen nil over tho country at the present timo. It is almost im possible to find a strain of any kind of domestic improved poultry stock, in the hand of our breeders, that has not among its numbers on the place, or near by, "its sistors, its cousins and its aunts," as well as its brothers or sons, "too numerous to mention." This is inbreeding. And it is a stylo of breeding that constantly has a de teriorating effect, although this fact is in the main realized by our poultry fanciers but iu few instances. It is, nevertheless, true thnt the chief difficulty experienced among us in reproducing tho best birds in suc cession lies in our neglect to make fre quent and judicious changes in tho males we breed our hens to. And now that so many flno birds are raised every year in locations separated by long distances from each other, why will it not bo found of mutual advan tage to leading breeders of tho princi pul varieties of fowls to exchange male birds annually, whore the stock is known to have come from distinctly different families, and tho representa tives of each of which are similarly of prime quality? This plan wo havo no doubt would provo a clear improvement lor botn parties, whenever such oxchango is niado ; aud we BUggost this idea to all who havo for years past boon breed in,; ouly from a single known line. "But "take heed lest yo fall" into tho error of introducing fresh blood that is discordant, and will not "tucklo kindly" mid confirm tho points you have already accumulated. Many a brooder has ruined his strain by buy ing breeding stock and uot knowing what ho was getting. American Poul try Yard. FARM AND OA 11 DEN NOTES. Cut clover hay is of little valuo for fowls not worth the cutting. Plenty of milk put boforo tho poul try makes very littlo moat nocessary. Keep chickons away from low.dnmp places, if you would avoid tho gapes. Nearly all kinds of garden poas will yield better if planted reasonably deep. If yon have good cows, food them nil they will assimilate. If they then produce fat instead of milk, thoy aro more fit for boef thau butter. Give tho horses an airing whenever tho woathor will permit. This and a change of diet will do much towards keeping thorn in good heulth and spir its. There is nothing that affects tho yield por acre of potatoes so much as tho soed. More depends on tho selec tion of seod in potatoes than iu any other crop. Professor Henry shows by experi ment that it costs $2.61 to produce 100 pounds of gain with lambs, and $3.03 to produce the same gain with pigs of about tho same age. Hons need limo for the formation of egg shells. Old plaster, broken lime, stone, and crushed oyster shells are about equally good for this purpose. They get most of tho lime used foi shells out of their food and water. Clover is by far the best hay for cow. Timothy is a quito inferior bay for making milk. Corn meal is the boBt single grain for a cow. It will be choaper to buy a hay cutter, which may cost only 33 for a small one, than try to make one. No stock are more seriously affected by storms than sheep. This has been shown plainly and repeatedly. If shelter is easily accessible sheep will soek it during storms and wind. Their iustinot will often bring them to tho burn before their ownor is aware of approaching raiu. Burnt corn is reported to be a sure cure for hog cholera.
