gXHK CUBANS BORN LOVERS, j
Their Fte of the Fan and the Strange Il
lation of Their Flirtation*.
Cuba is the latest hobby among her
freakish class of people, says a New York
letter to the Chicago Herald, and a trip to
the island is now a common occurrence. !
Little parties are made up for the excur- j
sion. and alreadv some of the distinctive
mannerisms of Ilavana belles are copied
in Fifth avenue. A bright New Fork girl
has just made the journey, and her ac
count of what she saw is entertaining,
besides possessing a sjtecial interest m
case American polite society is to be Cu- :
banized during the ensuing season at the i
summer resorts. |
“While I was in Havana,” she said, “I
was verv much amused at seeing the rush !
everv other American woman made to se- |
cure’a Spanish fan. It was as if after see- ;
in.’ Rita Bangali whirl down to the foot- ;
lights on one toe, with her unbusied pink ;
limb describing a circle at right angles to
her body, all the women at the theatre
should rush out for a pair of silk tights
and a dozen short gauze skirts. Not twen
ty American-born women in the States 1
can handle a fan like a Cuban girl. She ,
can make it whisper: she can make it
issue orders; it will talk love for her; in
her hand it is a pen that writes, yet
leaves no mark to be preserved and sent
to • father’s office, handed to a husband,
or used in a divorce court. The first few
times I saw a Cuban girl flirt 1
thought these women the most electric,
mischievous, sympathetic, ardent crea
tures in the world, yet I lived in a house
with some of them and visited enough
others to satisfy myself that they are
languid, indigent, heavy, and 1 had almost
said torpid. They were in !*ed the dark
half of each day, and in rocking chairs or
curled on window-sills the other half.
They wore shoes too small, and with the
heel'in the middle of the foot, so that if
they had wanted to walk they couldn’t.
But they didn’t want to. The hot climate
makes them pass quiescent, cxertionless
lives; and, seeing all this, I marveled at
the spirit of their flirtations. Suddenly it
dawned on me that it was all an illusion.
The erne and chic of each one’s flirtation
was produced with her tan. A smile is an
innocent thing, but aim it at a man behind
a fau,whisk the fan away,and then, just as
he sees it, cover it with a fan again, and
it becomes postively alarming in effective
ness. Take a roguish glance by itself in
plain sight, and it is either a frank
declaration of affectionate, trustful regard
for its recipient, or it is a guilty and a
dangerous plaything. But just imagine a
roguish glance used in connection with a
fan in the bands of a girl who can do as
much with her fan as a telegraph operator
can with the little lever beneath his fin
ger! But a Cuban girl can sit and talk to
you and send messages to her admirer
with her fan without your ever knowing
what she is up to. The idea of any of us
trying that sort of thing. Why, use for a
fail is very small, but if it was only to be
able to hold it in front of me to shield my
self from the sun as gi acefully as the
average Ilavana girl does It, I would give
|IOO for the accomplishment.
“1 am afraid it would be just as silly for
any of us to try to vie with these tropic
beauties in the degree ot affection they
exhibit. They have not got the same sun.
Theirs shines all the year round, and very
powerfully, too. They marry at 12 or
14, and half the time, when you are
wondering at the tender age at which girls
are intrusted with the care of babies in
the parks and streets, you are looking at
the baby's mother and not the hired
nurse. They are born lovers. Love is the
motive of ail their music. Each piece of
their dance music is a love song without
words. Every movement in their dances
is eloquent of affection tendered or ad
vances repulsed. Their whole lives are
thus contracted. The men keep them
shut up in the houses. Their girlhood is
si>ent In-hind the- iron-barred windows of
the parental home; their womanhood be
hind the iron-barn and windows of a hus
band’s bouse. They are not artists,
writers, sculptors, ppets, lawyers, minis
ters, school teachers, school commis
sioners, storekeepers, aud the like, as onr
( women are. The Cuban men are pas-
I sionate and jealous. I don’t like them at
j all. Their own code of morals is such as
' to make them suspect women, and so they
keep the sex locked up. Aud yet, in spite
I of this, l am told that the Cuban girls are
1 singularly modest and well-behaved—be
i fore they are married.
A freak of nature.
A New Orleans liirl with Many of the
Attributes of a Monkey.
Yesterday morning, says the Chicago
'Times of the 28th ultT, a reporter called at
the residence ot Mr. Alexander A. Bald
win, corner of Gentilly road and White
street, where a curious child was said to
have lately arrived.
“This curious child,” said Mr. Bald
win, “was in the house, but being ac
customed to live in the open air the room
seemed too close for her, and we have
placed her where she can have plenty ot
space.” Preceding the reporter, he
passed through the garden into a large
outhouse, where a sort of bed had been
arranged on the ground, and upon it lay
what appeared to be a bundle ot clothes.
“She is sleeping,” said Mr. Baldwin, ‘‘and
is unwell. N'orknowing yesterday wheth
er she required special food, I gave her a
piece of ham, and it has made her sick.”
He approached softly and removed the
covering. There lay, gathered up in a bun
dle, this curious being, with her knees
drawn up against her chest, and an un
usually small head with large ears bent
forward and resting against the knees, in
the i>osition usually taken by quadrupeds
when cold.
Mr. Baldwin gently cried out: “Rose,
Rose!" Hearing her name cried out.
the child opened her eyes and looked
strangely around. >he finally aroused
herself, and, being stood up by Mr. Bald
win, gave the writer a lull opportunity of
examining her.
>he is about thirty inches in height,
with no noticeable deformity in the for
mation of her body with the one excep
tion of having the right leg larger and
longer than the left, and her chest protrud
ing somewhat like that of a chicken.
The striking feature is the extraordi
narily small size of the neck and bead,
and its shape. It is in form more like
that of the ape than of a human being,
and is only ten inches in circumference.
At the summit of the head there appear s
to exist no bone, and a constant pulsa
tion is visible.
In stature she is very small, and Mr.
Baldwin thinks she is about 10 years old.
All her movements are quick and monkey
like, and she is particularly fond of biting
and pinching.
She appears to enjoy caresses, and
when Mr. Baldwin speaks to her sheclings
to his neck and tries to climb into his lap
and hug him closely, as if seeking pro
tection. She also appears very food of
music, and when anyone begins to sing
her face brightens up, and she at once
dances and jumps around on one leg.
Her eyes are very black and unnatural
ly bright, and her teeth remarkably fine
and strong.
She delights in biting at everything
looking like Ilesb, and yesterday,’ when
unobseived, seized a little puppy near her
and almost bit a large piece of its skin off.
This strange being was born in thepiney
woods in the rear of the Bay St. Louis,
her parents being Indians. Her mother
died when she was an infant, and shortly
afterward her father again married. Some
months ago both her father and mother
died, and Mr. Burgeois, of Bay St. Louis,
took her under his care. Having himselt
a large familv, he sent her to Mrs. Joe
Dourien, m this city, who in turn placed
her in charge of Mr. Baldwin Vlay be
lore yesterday, upon her arrival from the
Bay.’
Rose, for such is her name, is mute,
but understands when spoken to. and dur
ing the writer's visit, without hesitation,
obeyed Mr. Baldwin, and did ail she was
told to do. >he is certainly a very strange
being, and will undoubtedly prove an in
teresting subject for the medical frater
nity.
I'nclf liufe's Hotel.
San Fra nciico CkronicU.
The elegant hotel erected in the Yellow

other mechanics as security for their un

tents. This attempt to freeze out the
syndicate of amateur hotel proprietors
will probably fail, for they have an

for comfortable quarters would certainly
prove a bonanza to them, providing they
keep the house open and fix their charges

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 6, 1884.
AN INDIANA CAVERN.
Discovery or an ExtentiTO Cave Near
Merom.
One of the loveliest spots in Indiana,
says a Vincennes special to the Cincin
nati Commercial Gazette, is occupied by
Merom, a college town in Sullivan county,
about 40 miles above this city, on the
Wabash river, which, at that point at
least, is a pretty stream, that is not with
out its romantic, not to say tragic, asso
ciations. The town of Merom stands
high and fair upon bluffs that are impos
ing in size and beautiful in form, and
from the college tower that overlooks the
village a prospect of hill and valley and
winding stream is disclosed that capi
vates the eye and inspires the heart with
something of the rapture that
poets feel in the presence of the sub
lime. Merom has enjoyed some celebrity
as a point of interest to geologists and
students of paleontology, its cliffs and
hollows abounding in excellent mineral
specimens as well as relics of an antiqua
rian character. The hills have often been
explored by pleasure parties, as well as
by scientists, the one finding gratification
in their glorious scenery and the other
profitable employment in searching out
their varied secrets of rock and burial
mound; but it remained for two young
hunters, John Creager and Harry Blue,
to make a discovery that eclipses any
thing previously known in this section of
the country. On the farm of Wm. Cooper,
just north of the village ol‘ Merom, are
situated some of the most imposing of the
bluffs that have contributed to the
fame of the locality, and it was
about midway between'the base and sum
mit of the most precipitous of these that
the famous Lindsay rock was situated
until recentlv. This rock received its
name from Lindsay, the noted outlaw,
who flourished in that section years ago,
robbing and murdering and making him
self a terror to the country generally.
Some years ago he met his death near the
rock mentioned, and his name has since
been attached to it by local historians.
The fall of a mighty sycamore which
stood at the base of the cliff and the re
cent heavy rains loosened and carried
away the s'oil beneath Lindsay rock,
and * shortly after -it broke loose and
rolled with a tremendous splash into
the lovely waters below, carrying
with it a large quantity of soil, rocks ana
undergrowth, thus boring a hole in the
face of the cliff that was first seen by the
hunters on the 16th inst., as stated above.
This hole was very small, so small, in
deed, that the adventurous young men,
who provided themselves with bark
torches, and armed themselves with a de
termination to distinguish themselves if
they could, had trouble in crawling in,
but after crawling for perhaps fifteen
feet the passage opened into a large
! chamber,fully fifteen feet high and stretch
ing back in the darkness an unknown
, distance. The young men soon found
they could not do much without better
! lights, and so they returned to Merom,
told their story to the college people, and
in a short time returned to the cliff,
accompanied by Prof. Woodworth and a
couple of students.
The party were well equipped for the
exploration—candles, lanterns, axes,
poles, etc., being carried with them into
the mysterious cavern. No sooner had
the lights which they carried fairly pene
trated the gloom of the first chamber
than the ghastly outlines of two skele
tons, lying in a slight depression in the
floor, were seen. An examination proved
one of these skeletons to be that of
a remarkably large man, the other
that of a dog. Near the skeletons
were found flint arrows and
spear heads and a stone hatchet, these
articles indicating the skeleton to be that
of an Indian. Penetrating further into
the spacious chamber, a clear and cold
stream of water was encountered. It is
small and pure, entering at the north side
and passing across, disappears in the
south wall. It is supposed to supply the
spring at the base of the bluff, where so
many hot and thirsty picnickers have re
freshed themselves trom the bubbling
waters, little dreaming that it was iresh
from the mystery of an Indian sarcoph
agus. Pushing on, the explorers came
to a point where the cave divided into
two galleries, one bearing off south
easterly, the other directly north. At
the point of bifurcation, deep grooves of a
reddish color were observed in the ceiling,
the torches lighting them up and produc
ing an effect of color that was described
us delightful. Pursuing their way along
the southern gallery, the party soon came
to a huge heap of fallen rocks that ob
structed the way completely, so that fur
ther explorations in that direction were
given over for that time. Returning to
the north gallery, near the entrance of
which an Indian pipe was picked up, the
party proceeded to explore it, but they
were soon driven back by carbonic
dioxide that filled the ghostly place and
made breathing uncomfortable. That
portion still remains unexplored, though
several parties have since attempted
to brave its ioul air, and its size and
secrets are still unknown. Prof. B. F.
McHenry, who has visited the cave which
has been called the “Blue Creager,” in
honor of its discoveries, described its
beauties as equaling some ot those to be
seen in the famous Mammoth cave, and
he expresses the belief that when fully
explored, it will prove one of the most in
teresting natural wonders in the West.
The sou to eastern gallery contained rock
that held large quantities of copper, and
Prof. McHenry ventures the opinion that
the “Blue Creager” has a higher value
than its mere beauty and mystery give it.
It is being visited by scores ef curious
people, and it is expected that the official
geological survey of the interior will be
made very soon.
ADVENTURES OF A FAX.
An Innocent-Looking Objector hat Was
Free to Alt Comers.
Baltimore American.
It was nothing but a plain palm leaf
fan. It occupied a whole bench by itself
in a grove not far from the entrance of
Druid Hill Park. It had a lonesome look,
as if longing to be swung through the hot
summer air. Presently a portly gentle
man. with his vest unbuttoned, his neck
tie disarranged, his hat set back and his
mouth well open, tripped up the path. He
stretched his arms, wiped off the perspi
ration, and seeing the bench, made for it
and sat down. He grabbed the fan and
swooped it in the air. Right away he
gave a tremendous sneeze; repeated it; re
peated it again; repeated it twice more,
and thrice more again. Then he gazed at
the fau, dropped it, scowled at his hands,
and with steady stride made for the
pump; muttering curses with each breath.
Next came a sleekly-dressed swell. *He
was tanniug with his hat. lie saw the
tan.
“Lucky, by Jove!” he said, as he sat
down on’the bench.
He grabbed the palm leaf. He dropped
it. He sneezed. He looked at his hands,
and straightway made for the pump.
The park was now becoming full of
people. A portly young lady in white, at
tached to a slim young man in brown, me
andered up the path.
“Ab, ain’t we fortunate?” she said.
“Here’s a shady bench—and just look,
there’s a big fan,’too.”
They sat down. She picked up the fan
and shook it in her face. A look of sor
row came into her eyes and a sneeze into
her nose. The young man in brown
snatched it. He also dropped it. Then
the two showed each other their, hands.
They took their handkerchiefs and began
wiping. Presently they left the seat.
Then two small boys crept from behind a
near clump of trees, tne> grinning preten
tiously. They saw the fan. One of them
took it by the top and moved oft'. “Billy,”
said he to his companion, “we’ll git some
lasses ’en red pepper en’ try her agin.”
Measuring a Dream by a Name.
Letter to the Scientijio A merioan.
In vour issue of May 24 is an article on
“Speed ol Thought.” showing the rapidity
of thought as shown by an engineer dream
ing a long dream while traveling 250 feet
in four seconds. A case happened where
in the dreamer had an equally long dream
in less than one second. A telegraph
operator was one night during the Turco-
Russian war receiving a press despatch
regarding the war, in which the name of
Gortschakoff was being telegraphed.
Gortschakofl's name appearing so often in
such dispatches, the operator, as soon
as he heard the first syllable of the great
Sremier’s name, went to sleep and dreamt
e went to his mother's home in the
Indian Territory; went- hunting with
some Indian friends; had a great deal of
sport, and went through an experience
which would take days to perform, and
finally, after returning from the hunt
during the division of their game, he woke
up in time to hear the final syllable of
GortschakofTs name, and succeeded in
making a complete “copy” of the mes
sage. At the rate of forty words per
minute, at which telegraphing is usually
done, you will see the time of the dream,
which" commenced when the middle
syllable of GortschakofiTs name was being
made, was one-third of one and one-third
of a second, or forty-four one-hundredths
of a second.

Fertilizers for Oranges.
There is probably no fruit tree that ap
preciates liberal treatment more than the
orange. The fact that it will grow stea
dily in a good soil, and in the course of
time produce paying crops, is no proof
that it would not give far better returns if
supplied with a reasonable amount of
suitable fertilizers.
During a recent trip through the south
ern part of the State we saw illustrations
of the value of manure to the orange.
A gentleman having a suburban resi
dence on sandy land on the southern edge
of the town ot’ Los Angeles explained the
great superiority of the trees in a portion
of his grounds by stating that they hail
been manured. He claimed that with
proper attention to thi9 point he could
double the growth of his orange trees.
N ear San Gabriel, the largest crop which
we found in this oft year for oranges was
in an orchard whose owner has been very
liberal in the use of sheep manure, al- ;
though he has to haul it eight miles. A
certain portion of the orchard was par- 1
ticularly worthy ol notice, as the soil was j
there so poor that the trees were for some
years sickly and yellow. A dressing of ;
manure at the rate of a four-horse load to
eight trees made them vigorous ands
thrifty, atd they are this season loaded
with fine fruit.
Du Breuil, the French authority on ar- j
borculture, says: “The application of fer- j
tilizers is indispensable to hasten the de
velopment of the orange tree and maintain
its fertility. Without that it grows slowly,
it soon becomes loaded with fruits which
remain small, which exhaust the tree by
their abundance, and it succumbs long
before having given its maximum product.
The orange tree demands fertilizing during
two different periods of its existence—
during its first development, when the
dressing must be abundant in order to
hasten as much as possible the formation
of the framework of the tree and the ob
taining of the maximum product; then
afterwards during the remainder of its
existence. It is no more then than a dress
ing for maintenance, of which the fre
quence and abundance are indicated by
the state of growth of the trees.
“For the first period of growth of orange
trees it is proper to use fertilizers of rapid
decomposition, in order to furnish imme
diately and abundantly nutritive elements
to the roots. Such are well prepared ma
nures, pigeon dung, oil cake, guano, dried
blood, refuse from silk-worm nurseries,
fecal matters. For the dressing for main
tenance tertilizers of slower decomposi
tion are to be preferred, such as horn
pairings, crushed bones, woolen rags,
bair, tendons, leather waste. The effect '
of these last fertilizers is prolonged dur
ing five to eight years. Both classes are
applied over all" the extent of the soil
which is supposed to be occupied by the
roots, and particularly upon the points to
which the root extremities have reached,
that is to say, under the perimeter of the
head of the* trees. These tertilizers are
buried at the end of autumn.”
A gentleman at Riverside has sown a
crop of “cow peas,” to be turned in green,
as is done in the orange orchards of Louis
iana and Florida.
We have somewhere read of a similar
practice in the Azores, where lupin is
sown and turned under when a foot or
more high as the best manure for the
orange. Some of the native lupins of
California would probably be well suited
to this use.
Barnyard manure, to be used safely,
should be thoroughly decomposed and
pulverized, so to neither heat nor dry
out the soil.— Cultivator’s Guide { Cal. )
Take Care oT the 'Woodlands.
There are few things in which farmers
generally exhibit such waste and want of
foresight as in the treatment of their tim
ber lands. Dependent, as the great ma
jority must always be, for fuel and build
ing lumber; steadily diminishing as the
forests are in our’ section—as a large
proportion of the lands are timbered with
trees that farmers know do not grow
readily again—we still see the original
trees of wooded lands as carelessly and
uselessly felled as if they were not the
growth of generations, and, like Jonah’s
calabash, would spring up again in a
night. In traveling through the South
one cannot but be struck with the deso
lation caused by the devastation of for
ests. Year after year farmers think that
they have done no winter work unless
they have cut down and burned up the
timber off a certain number of acres—as
they say, “taking in new ground.” As
the old lands become worn out by contin
uous cropping without proper manuring,
by yearly drawing more from the soil than
is returned to it, the lorests are destroyed
to get at the fresh lands to take the place
of those that have been exhausted and
abandoned. This has been thecontinuous
practice of Southern farmers since the
settlement of the country, until in many
sections timber has become scarce and
expensive. The wretched system ol rail
lencing, which obtains in all of the South
ern States except South Carolina, com
bined with the leech-like demands of the
railways, are enough of themselves to
consume the forests in the course of time
without the farmers lending their aid to
these unsatisfijihle demands by willfully
destroying their own timber. The ques
tion of the railway demand will not be
discussed here, but there are two changes
which farmers can make to save their
timber—these are to abolish the fences
and cease taking in new land, but devote
their energies instead to improving that
which is already under cultivation—

Corn Meal Not a Proper Food for
Horses.
Corn meal is too heating, too concen
trated, too fattening, to be a proper food
for horses. If horse owners will persist
in feeding corn meal to their horses, then
wheat bran should .be fed with it. Meal,
from its large quantity of starch, packs
tightly in the stomach, and as horses when
hungry are apt to eat voraciously, indi
gestion and flatulency and constipation
are the immediate results, with “belly
ache” and inflammation of the stomach
as inevitable sequences. Means must be
adapted to the end desired. Fat is not
wanted on the horse; it is bone and mus
cle that are needed, anil oats or barley
furnish the necessary material for the
formation of both. It may be said, with
truth, that there are few horses not more
or less addicted to crib biting, and this is
indicative of restlessness, and a desire to
be relieved of internal suffering. From
considerable experience among horses in
England and America, I am confident
that the habit of crib biting is more uni
versal with us, and I know of no reason
why it should be. unless it is caused by
difference of food.— Coleman's Mural

Millions in Poultry.
During the two weeks of April, 1884, or
the two before Easter Sunday, there were
78,(167 barrels of eggs received in the mar
kets of New York city. Think of one city
alone taking 5,506,600 dozens, or 66,080,28 W
eggs in two weeks! This enormous de
mand cannot be supplied, it would seem,
i by our home producers, for we not only
I import from Canada, but France andGer-
I many send to us $6,000,000 to $7,000,000
1 worth annually of poultry products. The
i imports received in New York markets
i from January 1 to April 15,1884, were
alone over 14,000 cases of eggs. Again,
the value of poultiy produced in the
United States, according to statistics of
1882, exceeds the value of either hay,
wheat, cotton or dairy product, as the fol
lowing figures will show:
Wheat $488,000,000
Hay 4315,000,000
Cotton 410,000,000
Dairy product 254,000,000
Poultry product 500,000,000
The city of New York consumes over
100,000 tons of dressed poultry annually,
which, at the low estimate of 10 cents uer
pound, amounts to $20,000,000. — Herald.
.For Man and Wife.
The instinct toward neatness and beauty
dies hard in womankind, but it can be ut
terly destroyed by the slow process of dis
couragement and the fact that nobody
cares. The truth is, that human beings
need not only to see cleanliuess, but to
see freshness alid variety and change;
and the house defining should be no more
an object of pleasure and interest to the
woman than to the man. There is much
that she can do without him. She can
scrub the floor, but he could and should
whiten the celling. She cannot paper the
walls, perhaps, though many a farmer’s
wife has done even that; but give her the
money, and she will buy the paper and
find someone to hang it. After her will
ing hands have scrubbed away last year’s
fly specks, any man who can handle tools
i cau make the trames ior screens for her
| windows and doors. If, besides this, he
buys the prepared paints, and little by
little gives a fresh coat to the various
| rooms, it is no more than his share of the
I task.— Herald.

Farm and Stoclc Notes.
It is said that a solution made of water
and poultry droppings will prevent the
striped bugs from injuring squashes. The
mixture should be allowed to ferment,
and the application should be made fre
quently. It will also greatly assist in
hastening the growth of the vines.
The grab worm descends into the ground
on the approach of winter and lives three
years, feeding on the roots ot grass and
other vegetation. In the third autumn it
forms a cocoon of earth, coming forth a
beetle in May or June. It is not only de
structive as a grub, but the beetle forages
at night, doing much damage to buds and
tender shrubs.
Never use. from the stable on
lawns, as the seeds of weeds are thus
scattered, which germinate, grow up and
disfigure the lawn. A fertilizer made ol
200 pounds sulphate ol potash, 100 pounds
superphosphate and 100 pounds of ammo
nia will be found excellent. The quantity
is sufficient for an acre and should be ap
plied in October and April, half the amount
being used at an application.
A resident at Sheboygan Falls, Wis.,
fifteen years ago came into possession of
seventy-five trees from aa Eastern nurse
ry. No one there would buy them and he
set them out on his own grounds. A few
died the first year. The next year half
the remainder died. A flower-bed was
wanted on a part of the ground which
took in two trees. Like the rest, these
two appeared feeble and sickly, and, in
stead of grubbing them up, they were left
to take their chance and die in the flower
bed. The bed was made four feet wide,
sand and manure were copiously applied,
and the bed raised six inches above the
level surface. The two pear trees in it
were twelve feet apart. At the present
time, after fifteen years, those two are all
of the seventy-five that remain. They are
rank in growth, fifteen feet high and bear
abundantly.
The best way to handle young pigs is to
let them run with their mothers until the
mothers dry up, and to allow the young
ones to go into an enclosure by themselves
where they can be fed extra on milk or
wheat ground and mixed with milk or
oatmeal. Any ol these grains are good,
and so i9 barley ground and mixed with
milk or fermented slightly. By feeding
and suckling at the same time there is no
sudden change and the pigs will hardly
miss the mother, and, in fact, they may
be weaned when six or eight weeks old by
being fed in the manner described, and
they will be content in their feeding pen
when kept entirely away from the mother.
Wheat, oat or barley meal may be cooked
for the young pigs, but it is not necessary
to do so; but it is essential to have it fer
mented. The feedings should be often
and a little at a time, and this should all
be eaten up clean or less should be given.
—yew Yorker.
A Frenchman experimented on the depth
for planting wheat. He made thirteen
beds and planted 150 grains in each, at
depths beginning at seven inches, de
creasing to the surface. In the seven
inch bed five grainsout of 150 germinated.
They gave fifty-three heads, with 682
grains. This return kept on increasing
for each bed as it decreased in depth at
which the seeds were planted. At three
and three-quarter inches deep ninety-three
seeds sprouted, with 992 heads, yielding
18,534 grains. At 1 % inches, sp'routing
142 seeds, there were 1,660 beads, contain
ing 35,816 grains. At 1% inch depth sixty
four grains sprouted, growing 529 heads
and 15,587 grains. On the surface only
twenty grains germinated, yielding 1,600
grains. The greatest returns in grains
and straw was attained by the
bed. The sower should, therefore, endea
vor to cover the seed not more than two
nor less than one inch.
The ash of the apple tree contains 71
per cent. lime. That of the pear and peach
nearly as much. This fact, taken with
another, viz.: that it is rarely thought
necessary, and still more rarely prac
ticed, to apply lime as a fertilizer to fruit
trees, will be quite sufficient to account
for the wretchedly miserable appearance
ol many old orchards, as well as to ex
plain why orchards that are planted upon
lands rich in lime are so thrifty and bear
such handsome fruit. If we should follow
reason and analogy in respect to the man
agement of orchards, we should apply
lime every third or fourth year with libe
rality. Good farmers dress their fields
once in five years with fifty bushels of
lime per acre, as an encouragement of the
clover; why, then, should we not as pro
fusely lime oifr orchards, which require
so much of tbis element, when clover,
which contains less than halt as much, is
so liberally treated?— New York Times.
The sunflower is grown to a limited ex
tent in the United States—nowhere, we
believe, for any purpose except for orna
ment and for feeding the seed to stock. In
Russia ana India this plant has long been
cultivated for producing oil from the seeds,
and latterly this has been taken up in
Germany and Italy. With the rapid in
crease of population and the necessity for
a greater diversity of rural pursuits, may
not the cultivation of the sunflower be
come a profitable pursuit in this country ?
Fed judiciously, it imparts a glossy coat
to the stock, and is highly recommended
as food for poultry. It grows readily in
most soils, but prefers light, rich, calca
reous laud devoid of shade. In Great
Britain the rule is to plant six inches
apart, covering the seed an inch aeep, and
when the plants'are a foot high to draw
the earth up around them. Nosubsequent
attention is required. The yield of seed
is much increased by topping the plants.
Each plant usually produces 1,000 seeds,
chiefly on the main head.
A correspondent asks us for a remedy
for the leaf pest of the currant, saving
that he lost last year a fine crop of cur
rants by the sudden disappearance of the
leaves, which had been eaten by this de
structive worm. We know uot how r often
we have referred to the depredations of
this pest. Their operations are rapid,
and unless their first appearance is
watched they may do their work before
one is aw T are of it- There are several
remedies. We have used fine, sifted coal
ashes, first sprinkling the leaves thor
oughly with water, so as to reach the un
der parts; apply the dust profusely, and
repeat it once or twice if necessary, which
may be the case. But there is nothing so
effective as white hellebore, dusting it
over as well as on the under side of the
leaves, which never fails in destroying the
worm. It can be had at the druggists
and some general stores. The leaves
should be watched as soon as they ap
pear, as the worms sometimes get to work
very early. —Germantown Telegraph.
After grafting, says a writer in Farm
Home, all the new sprouts thatstart should
surely be kept off until the cions get well
to growing, arM if in that time any of the
old limbs or spurs should commence grow
ing very vigorously they should be clipped
to check their growth. After about
August 1 stop taking off any sprouts
or checking the growth of the oi*l limbs
in any way, for if they are allowed to
grow the cions will stop growing the sooner
and have a chance to ripen. The next
year after grafting, in May or June, take
off of the natural limbs and
sprouts that interfere with the growth of
the cions, taking care only to give the
advantage of space and sunlight. Then
no more training should be done until an
other year comes around, when all the re
maining natural tops can safely be re
moved. Where two cions are growing in
a hub one should be taken out when 1 or,
at moat. 2 years old; sawing off with a
slant, taking a portion of the old hub,
which will cause it to heal over quicker
and smoother.
The best chemical authorities tell us
that the main use of plaster to vegetation
is its power to attract ammonia from the
atmosphere and “fix” it in the ground for
the use of plants. Now, the more the soil
is pulverized the more its absorptive pow
er is increased, and therefore the better
enabled to extract fertility from the at
mosphere. This fertility consists of gases
emanating from decaying vegetable and
animal substances, but which, being
brought down by the rains and snows,are
deposited on the surface of the earth, ami
the more the absorptive power of the lat
ter is increased the more of its %*tilizing
matter it incorporates. It is evident,
then, that the greater the area of surface
pulverized the greater the amount of fer
tilizing matter absorbed, and which i* best
done by the use of the hoe; not in throw
ing the pulverized grouml into ridges, but
by mellowing the whole surface, as well
as in killing the weeds. Weeds in a corn
hill are like parasites on an animal,draw
ing the life-blood out ol it, and not to use
the hoe in their extermination is the very
way to establish them on the farm.—Bal

Whatever virtues condensed milk
may have had as a diet for babies it does
not seem to be a satisfactory substitute
for new milk fresh from the cow. A mother

to it exclusively.
Rice cake is made of one pound of
ground rice, one pound of sugar, half a
pound of butter and eight eggs, salt and
flavoring to suit the taste. Beat the eggs,
rub the butter and sugar together till like
cream, then add the eggs, and, last of all,
stir the rice flour in a little at a time.
Bake in sponge-cake tins or shallow pans.
A DELICIOUS SOUP is made in tbis wav: I
Boil three pints of green peas in three
quarts of water; when perfectly soft rub i
them through a colander, then put back
the pulp into the water, which is supposed I
to be still boiling; season with salt and !
pepper and butter, and thicken slightly
with flour. Serve with croutons and very
hot. ;
A GOOD breakfast dish is made bv
chopping some ham quite fine; put it into
a frying pan jwith a lump of butter, season :
with black pepper; when this is hot pour
over it enough eggs, that you have broken :
in a boWl,to cover the ham. When these are 1
done take the eggs and ham out on a plat
ter; do this carefully so that the eggs will
be on the top.
A FILLING FOR A LAYER CAKF. that is
gaining favor is made by boiliqg a pint
of molasses very slowly for twenty min
utes, stirring it constantly: then remove
lrom the fire and flavor with lemon and
stir three well-beaten eggs into it. Stir
this for three or four minutes to make it
light. If you wish to vary this, chocolate
or fruit or nuts may be added.
An excellent way to warm over pota
toes is to put a lump of butter into a
saucepan; as it melts add a tablespoonful
of flour, stirring it so that it will not burn,
then pour in a cup of sweet milk—if half
cream it will be all the better; season
with salt and pepper; stir it with a spoon
so that the Ingredients will be well mixed,
then put in sliced cold boiled potatoes; let
them boil for a few moments; send to the
table hot.
If it is thought better to give a sick
person bits of ice, instead of allowing him
to drink a great deal of cold water, wrap
a small piece of ice in a clean white flan
nel cloth, put into a bowl and let it stand
by the bedside; provide a long pin—a hat
pin is hpst; with this small pieces of the
ice can be detached with little effort, and
no one need touch them with the fingers,
as they can lie carried to the mouth with
a teaspoon.
A MOST EXCELLENT DISH FOR DESSERT
is made of a cake al'out an inch and a half
deep after it is baked. The cake snould
not be rich. Put a light meringue on the
top; brown this in the oven; cut the cake
in square pieces and serve warm with
wine sauce or with lemon sauce. The
sauce nmst be at the boiling point, and it
should be poured around the cake so that
it will penetrate It readily. If properly
made this is delicious.
Delicious fritters may have stale
bread for the foundation: if care is taken
In removing any or all of the crust that is
dark brown the fritters will be light col
ored and very inviting in appearance.
Eggs are a good addition in the propor
tion of four eggs to one quart of sweet
milk; a saltspoonful of salt, and four or
five slices of bread are also requited. The
bread should lie soaking in the milk for
two hours. It can be broken intokrnall
bits, and then it-will not be lumpy.
Shrimp salad is so delicious that the
man or woman who has not tasted it has
something to brighten the future. If
canned shrimps are used drain and air
them well, then rinse them. Pour vine
gar over them, with a very little oil or
clarified butter mixed with it. Let them
stand in this for three-quarters of an hour,
or, still better, for an hour; drain this off,
line the salad bowl with crisp lettuce
leaves, and place the shrimps within, ora
still prettier way is to make cups of the
lettuce leaves and put shrimps in them.
The dressing may be poured over them or
beservid by itself. Any salad dressing
that is suitable for chickeii or fish may be
served with shrimps.

together upon ribbon or tape an inch wide.
It can be tied around any part affected

Investigations concerning the effect of
different forms of artificial illumination
on the health show that the tallow candle
is the most unwholesome agent and the
electric light tlie oest. The incandescent

candle, while it gives out no carbonic acid
or water. One gas-jet in a room is said to
to vitiate the air as much as six persons.

The theory of memory is thus expound

it is conveyed by proper nerve filaments
to cells in the gray matter of the brain.
These cells vi6rate " from excitation and
undergo a change, say that of molecular
arrangement. If this impression is re
peated oiten enough the molecules are
permanently changed, and we have mem
ory cells and remember the impression.
Blit repeated impressions are not always
necessary to produce a memory cell. A
sudden, violent excitation will cause a
permanent change in a cell.”
