The Pear to Plant.

garden, a* well a* a valuable one to him
who has hi* acrea of tree* It takes but
little room, bear* early.and in *"cce*sion
from July until November, and it ia a
fruit that most persons like. While
there are sol* which ripen in July, but
few peraon* plant them, as raspberries
and blacklierrics are in season then, and
varieties to lie ripe to eat in early August
are considered early enough. There are
aorta peculiar to certain localities, doing
better in them than any others, and but
little known elsew here. The Jones, for
instance, so justly valued in Wet Phila
delphia and here by those who have
grown it, is unknown iu some parts of
New Turk, an order recently sent to a
firm in that Stale bringing back the re
ply that it was the first inquiry they had
ever received for the pear. A Philadel
phian, well acquainted with the subject,
says if the popularity of kinds can bo
judged of by what are planted it rui.a
about as follows, for they are bought in
about the order named: B ari lett, Heckel,
Hlieldon, Howell,Clapps, Anjou, Flemish,
Boussock, Lucrative, Lawrence, Kieffcr
and Superfine. After these there ia not
much choice, aorta being ordered to come
in between others without regard to what
they are. —Grrmantoten Itvlep rulont.

Cutting tho fodder ha* the effect of
reducing the muscular work of the cow.
Kvery movement of the cow’s muscles,
every motion of the lung* ns the animal
breathes, consumes some of the muscu
lar tissue and require* some food to re
pair the waste. Kvery digestive function
is also carried on ut some cost of sub
stance for the repair of which food is
required. Ti e proper preparation of the
food, then, is a raving of labor for the
cow, and a saving of food for tho owner.
Thus, tho grain food should be ground
as finely a* possible, and after being
mixed with the cut and moistened fod
der, i* eaten with less exertion, and is
digested with tho greatest ease. Moro
of ik too, is digested, because of tho tine
condition of it, by which it is more com
pletely subjected to the action of the
aolveut tluids of the mouth (the saliva),
stomach, and intestines. As the fat and
oil of tho food exists in exceedingly tiuo
particles distributed in the cellular tis
ane, the thorough grinding and the per
fect mast icatlcn of it tend to its most
economical disposition in the body of the
animal.
The results of feeding vary with cir
cumstances. The character and quality
of the herbage varv, and necessarily, as
grass is the Imsis of a cow’s feed, any va
riation in this will affect tho result of
the grain feuding and make some modi
fication necessary. Ta-nbservo tho ef
fect of feeding, some tests will bo found
useful. A dairyman should bo very in
3uisit ive and observant, for bis profit
epends upon it. He should count,
measure or weigh everything; amL the
quantity of food given, its cost ana its
results, should all be carefully uoted.—

It is printed that a favorite method
among boston gardeners of storing cab
bage is to lack them away in a broad,
shallow nit, cover with straw or hay, and
then with <!iit, and then with seaweed.
The object ia all these different ways is
to so cover them s* to keep them warm
enough'not to freeze much—a little freez

enough, not to heat and decay.
Ensilage seems to be growing in favor
with dairymen. Mr. T. I>. Curtis, good
authority,’ says that good silage, prop
erly fed,’is nourishing, reliable, and pro
duces good results. The milk from it is
sweet ami rich, and it improves the
churning quality of the (ream, while it
doe* not injure, if it does not actually
improve, the quality of the milk. It
may also be justly claimed to increase
the production of troth milk and butter.
There is certainly strong testimony in
favor of silage for dairy cows.

while that from wood ashes, having been

Analysis shows that both are potash, but
plants know better than to accept them
alike. It is a point worth the attention of
all cultivators who employ artificial
measures.

Dr. If. of Portland, Oregon, be
gan digging a large well some time ago
and it promised to furnish an unlimited
supply of cold water. Indeed thcwatei
came so fast that one pump could no.
keep it out of the way of the workmen,
and a second was to be put in. But in
one night the tem|>erature of the watei
changed, and in the morning clouds of
steam rolled up from the well, which
was found to contain about twenty-five
feet of water almost boiling hot At
last accounts the temperature had not
lowered.
During midsummer in Northern Alas
ka, according to a recent traveler, the
sun shine* twenty-two hours out of tbe
twenty-four, and on the high mountain
peaks for a period of several day* in June
it is not entirely out of sight during the
twenty-four hours. In July and August
the weather becomes very warm. After
this time the days gradually shorten
until the sun shines but four hours out
of the twenty-four, but at this peiiod
the aurora is exceedingly intense and
helps very materially in dispelling the
darkness.
At a recent meeting ot the Academy of
Natural Sciences the uresideut. Dr. Leidy,
stated that he had recently received
for examination from the Geographical
Survey in Washington a collection ol
bones from ton miles cast of Archer, Levy
county, Florida. The specimens are
generally much broken, although th
original texture is mostly preserved and
they show no trace of being rolled ot
water worn. They consist chiefly of the
remains of rhinoceros, mastodon and
llama. Anew species of horse was also
indicated by teeth and ankle bones, for
which the name Hippotherium plicatile
was proposed.
From various experiments made to de
termine the force ntul effect of terrestrial
contraction it has been calculated that a
mass of sandstone a mile in thickness,
rais'd in temperature some 200 degrees
Fnrcnheit, would have its upper surface
elevate I ten feet; and that a portion of
the earth’s crust fifty miles thick, raised
1100 to POO degrees, might produce an
elevation of 1,(100 to 1,000 feet; cooling
again would reverse the result; suen
cooling having actually taken place, and
the contraction lias given the earth its ir
regular surface and gigantic mountain
wrinkles,' and that the process is still go
ing on frequent evidence is thought to
be afforded in esrthquako phenomena.
According to this tlioory, the earth’s
shrinkage, iu changing to a solid form,
must have been much greater, as the
common minerals lose from 8 to It per
cent, in hardening from a molted state.
Pphtl Oyster*.
The business of getting jhc pearls out
of oysters is a tolerably tlisukrctuiblo one.
The oysters tiro thrown into larjfo vcasels
htitl loft to dio, when the shell* open of
their own accord. Tito rhi’lli arc then
removed, hut the oysters themselves, are
left in buckets till they become deeom
poiod, when they re well stirred. The
pearls sink to tl e bottom, ami the re
mainder is poured off. It may be readily
inferred 1 hat the odor in the camp of
peirl seekers is more powerful than
pleasant.
The pearl inis it*origin in theefforts of
the oyster to protect itself from the irri
tation caused by the presence of some
foreign body between the shell and its
mantle, ns the soft skin of the oyater is
technically termed. To mitigate the suf
fering caused by this vexacious intruder,
the oyster deposits thereon a coating of
the same material as that, of which the
shell is composed, and when once this
process has begun, it continues, till in
time the pearl grows large enough to kill
the oyster.
To the fanciful minds of Oriental
nations no such crude explanation has
ever occurred, and they still attribute to
pearls much more poetic origin. The
oysters, they say, rise by uight to the
surface of the water, and opeuing their
sheila, receive therein a single drop of
dew. This in time becomes n jiearl, and
if the dew has been pure and clear, the
pearl wid be a lieautiful one; but if the
droii of dew has been soiled with im
purities. then the pearl will be opaque
and of no value.
Linnnus <he "father of naturalists,’’
received the honor of knighthood for
demonstrating tho possibility of arti
ficially inducing the formation of pearls
in the" |icarl-l>earing mussel. But, as has
been the case with other European inven
tions of which we have thought a good
deal, it has since turned out' that John
Chinaman has been doing this thing for
a couple of thousand years or so. The
Chinese method is to take the mussel from
the river, carefully force the shells a little
way apart, and insert between the mantle
of the oyster aud one of the shells a few
little pellets of clay, tiny pearls or foreign
bodies of some kind. When this has
been done, the oyster is turned over, and
the poor fellow is obliged to submit to a
simitar uncomfortable process on his
other side. He is then put back into a
pond, where he is kept well and fat by a
diet more ntßirishingithan nice. After a
few months, or sometimes a year or two,
he is again taken from his bed, his pearls
are token out, and he is eaten.

(Superstitions About Marriage
Three young society ladies whose
wedding had been announced to take
place within the past fortnight were
obliged to have the proposed ceremony
indefinitely postponed on account of
their illness. Iti* no wonder that many
young ladies become ill as the great day
for them draws near, as tbe amount of
work they have to do in preparing for
the event is enough to wear them out en
tirely. The worry and bother of dress
making and constant shopping and the
incidental excitement might well pros
trate a delicate bride. Just think of the
dresses the young woman of moderate
ideas generally starts off with! Of course,
there’s the wedding gown, upon which
no end of work is expended, thon the
traveling frock for the tour, and, say
four morning dresses, with a like num
ber of tea gowns and reception toilets;
then house dresses aud tw o tailor made
walking suits with one slightly more
elaltorate for special occasions. This is
only a part of the outfit, for undergar
garments, household linen and the thou
sand and one etceteras must be pre
pared.
As the fall is the rushing season in the
marriage mart, it is well to recall one or
two interesting superstitions that were
religiously noted in the timo of our
grandmothers. In the- first place, ac
cording to an ancient and reliable chroni
cle# there are th|rty-two days in the ycat
that are especially unlucky for mar
riages and journeys. They are as fol
Iowa; January 1. 8,4, 5,7, 10 and 15;
February 0, 7 and 8; March 1, (1 and 8;
April 0 and 11; May 5, 0 and 7; June 7
and 151 July 5 and Ift; August 15 and
Ift; Peptemlrer 0 and 7; October 7; No
vember 15 and IH, en l December 15, 111
and 17. Kverybody knows that Friday,
ia the most unlucky day for a wedding,*
while Wednesday and Thursday nrc the
luckiest. Our grandmothers believed
that it was* most unfortunate thing if
the bride, after tiuiahing her toilet and
leaving her looking glass, should turn
around Hgain for a last glance at herself.
It was also bad for her to sec the man she
was about to marry after dressing and
before the time had come for the cere
mony.—Note York Star.
Gems for Society nolle*.
One of the sensations m Washington
•omety during ilio last season, says a
letter to the New York Sun, was the ap
pearance of a notod dealer in precious
stouos, who created a furor among tire
ladies of the Cabinet and high officials,
and in social circles. He approached so
ciety with his gems from a now direc
tion—a social one. A handsome and
courteous gentleman himself, with u
beautiful wife, both accustomed to good
social usages, the diamond merchant was
able to reach the inner circles of society.
He had quarters at the Arlington, ami
within a tow weeks after his arrival lie
had Washington ladies in a fever of ex
citement over the splcudid gems with
which he da/.zlcd their eyes, and all the 1
husbands in Washington going down into
their pocketbooks, and wishing the Cin
cinnati merchant was in Jericho. \\ lien
tlie season closed neuily SBOO,OOO had
passed into the pockets of the ileuto in
precious stones,mid Fell and rare were the
gems that flashed upon many a white
neck and arm in the great society crushes
of the isttcr part of the season, whoso
owner hail trusted before tlmt to tlio
power of their own beauty unadorned.
One of the first of the many stories set
afloat about the era o for gems was of
the purchase bv the Whitneys of a $,-
(K)0 necklace. In the necklace were forty
stfmes, graded from the great center stone
.pach way to stones of the weight ot a
thistle down. All the diamond markets
in the world had been searched to ac
complish the graduation. Soon afterward
th< re was a story about some unpleasant
ness in th* household of a Western poli
tician of national fame on account of a
loving wife opening a letter to her hus
band containing a bill for diamonds
which she had never received, and there
were a good many explanations and
friends called in and a peace patched up
by the purchase of more diamonds which
did go to the wife and not to some other
person.
It was told of the wife of h far West
ern Senator, tl at while sitting in the
parlor of a hotel, after having sent up
her card to the wife of another Senator
living at the hotel, her attention was at
tracted to a little group of ladies gath
ered about the diamond men hunt, who
had spread his wares on the piano for
their inspection. She listened' to their
“ ahs” snd “ohs,” and little screams of
ecstatic admiration, and then crossed the
room and joined the group. She handled
. the gems with an appearance of indiffer
ence blended with the air of n connois
seur. The other ladies, wives of Con
gressmen and Government ofticia’s, stood
back respectfully Finally she picked
up a great carbuncle pendant set in a
double row of pearls snd diamonds, and
said:
•’ What do you value that at f”
*• Seventeen hundred dollars," was the
reply.
The lady opened her reticule, took out
a check book, made out a check for the
amount, put the pendant in her pocket,
aid calmly resumed her chair. She had
)>aralyxed that group of ladies, trad at
the same time added another jewei to a
collection which is already one of the
richest owned by any American la ly.

of Warner's safe cure are curing so many dis

enriches the blood, thus preventing 1 the recurrence
of the disease. These facts warrant us in urging
you. if you suffer with rheumatism, to give Hood’s
Sarsaparilla a trial
* Having been troubled- with Inflammatory rheu

CATARRH IN THE HEAD.
STMPTOIHS OF THE DISEASE—DuU, heavy headache,
obstruction of tho nasal passages, discharges failing from the
head into the tliront, Sometimes profuse, watery, and acrid, at
others, thick, tenacious, mucous, purulent, bloody and putrid;
the eyes are weak: there is ringing in the ears, deafness, hacking
or coughing to clear the throat, expectoration of offensive mat
ter, together with scabs from ulcers; the voice is changed and
has a nasal twang"; the breath is offensive; smell and taste
Impaired; there is a sensation of dizziness, with mental depres
sion, a hacking cough and general debility. Only a few or the
above-named Byv.ipt.ims are likely to be present, in any one case.
Thousands of oases annually, without manifesting half of tho
above symptoms, result in consumption, and end in the grove.
No disease Is so common, more deceptive and dangerous, less
understood, or more unsuccessfully treated by physicians.
I f you would remove an evil, strike at Ut
jDMmOK utKsE root. As the predisposing or real cause of
- catarrh is, in the majority of enses. some
IRPITUPUT weakness, impurity, or otherwise faulty
inuimuiia condition of the system, in attempting to
euro the disease our chief aim must be
directed to the removal of that cause. The more v,-e see of tills
odious disease, and we treat successfully thousands of cases an

we realixe the importance of combining with the use of a local,
soothing and boiling application, a thorough aad picrsistent inter
