A DISCOURSE UPON NOISE.
A Humorous Paper says Noiso
is Man’s Delight.
Various Elements Both Pleasant and Un¬
pleasant of the World's Noises.
Man delights in noise. lie gives ev¬
idence of his taste for noise at
birth. He comes crying into the
world and when lie acquires strength
lie “drums on the table with his spoon,”
in those rare intervals when he ceases
(quailing. Boys have secret love of
thunder, even when they dread it, and
what other passion can equal that of
aboy for pounding on an empty tomato
can? In him is exemplified human
fondness of noise. He whistles shrilly,
he screams, he imitates the cries of
birds and animals, he produces ear
splitting sounds with many varieties
of toy instruments. His drum is a
panacea for all the woes that befall
him. Everything we hear is noise.
In fact we cannot possibly hear any¬
thing but noise. All intense excite¬
ment or passion causes him to raise his
voice and to produce noisa Observe
how he takes pleasure in music, which
is simply harmonious noises. The ori¬
gin of concerts and dreadful customs
may be traced to this desire to listen to
noise. Man has been defined as th,
animal that laughs, and laughter as
we know, is a noise, and sometime* a
very unpleasant one. il.st women
are fond of noise. They r refer cue
declamation of aa orator -tali i j
sound, fury, signifying z::is.z' to

Dr. Johnson preferred the n-xses of
London, and the rattling of a coach to
the pleasantest rural sounds, “and all
the live murmur of a summer dav,” in
’
the country. Another literary man
studied best near the uproar of a ser
vants’ hall. The bell has always been
a much venerated producer of noise.
The poets have sung its praises, and
l’oe has devoted one famous poem to a
description of the noise of bells.
Cowper is the poet of noise and
praises even the hoarse notes of the
cawing rooks and the boding owl. Cer
tain savages endeavor to propitiate
their gods by the noise of drums and
trumpets. Uncivilized mail goes to
battle with loud shouts, and'in Greek
and Roman literature there are many
accounts of the strange results of fierce
war cries in terrorizing the foe.
Cato, the Elder, boasted that he had
gained more victories by the throat ol
his army than by their swords. We
cannot wonder that the Scots have been
generally victorious in battle when we
consider the terror imparting charact¬
er of their national band of music, the
bag-pipes.
Among unpleasant noises we may
mention: The excruciating tones of
an amateur vocalist; the voice of a
needy acquaintance requesting the
loan of ten dollars; the mournful jin¬
gle of one’s la3t cent against one’s
keys, and what Whitman would term
•‘the soul-harrowing yawp of a babe
in the night.” And yet, the most sue
cessful and the most envied man is he
who makes the greatest noise in the
world .—Texas Siftings.
Honesty is the Best Policy.
Mr. Blacke, the eminent and
wealthy coal dealer, called one of his
oldest drivers into the office ami ten¬
dered him quite a large sum of money.
“What is this for?” asked the aston¬
ished driver.
“Merely a token of appreciation for
services rendered,” replied Mr. Blacke,
kindly.
“But, sir, you’ve always paid me
well for my services, and that W88
appreciation enough.”
“There is really more than that In
it, John,” continued the gentleman;
“I really owe you the money.”
“I don’t understand.”
“Let me tell you,” and he dropped
his voice to a whisper, “you have been
with me for twenty years, working
300 days every year, and averaging
three loads a day; that makes 18,000
loads. You weigh about 120 pounds,
John, and we have never failed to
weigh you in every load of our supe¬
rior coal; that makes 2,700,000 pounds,
or 1,350 tons. This at $3.50 per ton.
John, represents $4,725. The package
you hold in your band contains
$472.50, or 10 per cent, which we
think is yours by right. We are hon¬
est men, John, and don't desire to
defraud any man out of what is justly
his.”
John bowed in humble submission,
and is now waiting for the next divi¬
dend.— Merchant Traveler.

The Treatment of Sod in the Fall.
In tnc ordinary rotation of the farm,
sod land is usually plowed for corn.
Opinions differ in regard to the advan¬
tage, or otherwise, of the fall plowing
of sod. The truth of the matter is,
that like all other farm work, this de¬
pends very much upon circumstances.
One of these is, the manner in which
the plowing is done. If the dry, bare
sod is plowed under thoroughly, and
so left until spring, when it is cross
plowed, and th9 sod cut up into pieces,
and turned this way and that, and for
the greater part reversed, the work had
certainly been better left undone. This
way of treating sod, too common, we
are sorry to say, is a most mischievous
one, and leaves the land in a wretched
plight for corn planting. The better
way is, to spread what manure is
ready for the land, aud leave it until
November, and then turn the whole
under with an even and regular lap
furrow. If this is well done it leaves
the soil in the very best condition for
spring work. The furrow slices lie
with the manure between them, while
the manure is not buried under the
sod, but both standing, in part, on
edge, allow tho air to permeate through
the crevices, and cause thorough de¬
composition. The crests of the ridges
break down by the action of frosts,
and the land is gradually consolidated
by settlement, through the winter.
When the harrow is passed over the
land in the spring, the fine manure,
and the soil, and the decayed sod, are
thoroughly mixed on the surface, leav¬
ing a mass of plant food below, as
deep as the land has been plowed. The
roots of the young corn plants find
food wherever they penetrate the soil,
and an abundance of it within reach
to carry them to the end of the grow
Ing season. In the culture of every
crop, very much depends upon the
preparation of tho soil, but this is
most especially true as regards corn,
which occupies the ground for only
about three months. IIow necessary

of the most effective ways of making

In the course of a recent address on
The grasses, Air. J. R. Alcott said : “A
town flock of sheep, with a shepherd
an(i bush scythe, would be a grand
thing to keep down brush and weeds
along our highways, and would bring
in our native grasses that would be a
real ornament to every country road
side.”
It is always bad policy to crop bear¬
ing orchards, and one reason for this is
that it generally prevents their pastur
ing by pigs, which are the best scaven¬
gers for destroying wormy fruit with
its contents. The apples in our mar¬
kets would be fairer if pigs had the
range of apple orchards, and the pigs
themselves would be more healthful
food. If not ringed pigs will give an
orchard all the plowing it needs, with
no danger of injury to tree roots,
Few farmers would think of turning
stock on their timothy meadows in the
spring. But they should remember
that fall feeding is even worse, as it
destroys the growth needed to protect
the roots during the winter, when pro¬
tection is most needed. Every pound
of feed thus stolen from a timothy or
clover meadow is offset by the loss in
next season’s hay crop, Insides the
chance it gives for noxious weeds to
fill vacancies where the grass is killed.
The mysterious disease known as
blight comes on potatoes from causes
little understood. It generally attacks
potatoes just after they have been set
and as the vines turn black and die
the further development of the tuber
is arrested. It seems to attack pota¬
toes most freely in hot weather accom¬
panied by rain, and is generally more
destructive on potatoes planted shal¬
low, or whose natural growth is near
the surface. Entire fields are often de
stroyed in a single day.
In the old times the nuts of beech
and other trees, called must, were a
great help for farmers in growing and
fattening hogs. These nuts, from
their oily character, made a soft pork,
which needed considerable corn to
harden it. Probably a feed of peas,
barley or oats would be even better for
hogs fed on mast than corn would be.
Bred hogs are not, however, adapted
to hunting their living in the forests,
and almost certainly would lose rather
than gain flesh by such an experi
ment.
Household Hints.
Do not make jelly on a warm, damp
day; choose a cool, clear, dry day.
Cayenne pepper is one of the best
tilings with which to rid a house of
rats.
Glaze the bottom crust of fruit pies
with white of an egg and they will not
get soggy.
The best way of cleaning gilding is
with weak ammonia and water, well
sponged on.
Roiled starch can he much improved
by the addition of a little sperm or a
little salt, or both, or a little dissolved
gum arabic.
When the burners of lamps become
clogged with char, put them in a
strong soap-suds and boil awhile to
clean them.

feed your bird with hot food; their beaks
are very sensitive. By no means give your
parrot any animal food, not even a bone
to bite, as some people say, for amuse¬ bird
ment, Animal food renders the
savage, ill and unhappy, It causes the
bird to pluck out its feathers. What
for? Why, to chew the quill to procure
a taste of the animal food when the mas¬
ter or mistress is not inclined to give it
any. The bird is taught to become veritable a
cannibal, and he becomes a
lover of flesh, which he is not particular
in seizing hold of, whether it be upon
the thumb or finger bone. The practice
of giving the birds bones to bite is not
at all a good one. It teaches them to
destroy their perches, or tear anything
they can lay hold of. The parrot re
quires no more amusement than to be
taken notice of. spoken to, sang to,
whistled to, and caressed by those whom
he has a preference for; no one else
should be allowed to touch him. A tea¬

in his cage. Never give your parrot the
least particle of butter, fat, milk, ot
greasy food of any description.
When you see your parrot continually

it renders us, careless of it. Keep your

Japanese Table etiquette.
The usual dinner hours are 4, G and 7.
As soon as the guests are seated on the
mats, two, and sometimes three, small,
low lacquered tables are brought to each.
On that one immediately in front of him
the guest finds seven little covered bowls
with (next to his left hand) rice, (next
his right) fermented bean soup; the
others containing roast fish, roast fowl,
boiled meat, raw fish in the vinegar, and a
stew of vegetables. On second table
will be five other bowls, consisting of
two soups (one of carp), more raw fish,
fowl and kurage— a kind of jelly-fish.
The third—a very small table— should
hold three bowls, of baked shell fish,
lobstev and fish soup. Except at great
set feasts, a beginning is made with the
rice; and here the etiquette is very strict
and ns coinpiicatid as the old forfeit
game. "Here’s a health to Cardinal
Puff!” Take up the chopsticks with the
right hand, remove the hand, cover of the rice
bowl wjth the same transfer it to
the left and place it on the left of the
table. Then remove the cover of the
beau soup and place it on the rice cover.
Next take up the rice bowl with the
right hand, pass it to the left, and eat
two mouthfuls with the chop
sticks anil then drink (the word
drink must be used here) once
from the soup-bowl. And so on with
the other dishes, never omitting to eat
some rice between each mouthful of
meat, fish, vegetable or soup. Rice
wine goes round from the beginning of
the meal. The most trivial breeches of
etiquette are unpardonable sins,and they
are all gibbeted by special names. One
is drinking soup immediately on receiv¬
ing a bowl of it, without first depositing
it on the table; another is hesitating
whether to drink soup or eat something
else; a third is, after eating of one dish
to begin on another without going back
to the rice. For cakes the guest must
be provided with pieces of paper ad
hoc. He should pick up a cake with
the chopsticks, place it in a piece of
paper, break it in two, and eat the right
piece first.
These minuthe are nothing to those ot

erly takes place at noon, and the ritual
