All terrieie are good. They are all shrewd, game, loyal small chaps as ever stood upon canine feet or gazed at their owner with soulful, loviug eyes, and of them all I prefer the fox terrier, either wire haired or smooth coated. Those aristocrat®, diminutive gentlemen un questionably are today the most popular dogs in the wide, wide world, and there are many excellent reasons why this Should be so. From the palace to the eottago these dogs have proved their sterling qualities to the satisfaction of all concerned, and tin y are especially well suited to tbo conditions which govern in crowded centers. When the big St. Bernard, mastiff, Dane or other heavy breed is panting in the contracted back yard, howling on chain, pining for exercise and freedom, the terrier is merely having fun, busy ing himself about the house, warning off doubtful intruders and generally at tending to everything which appears to require supervision. Clever, alert and stout hearted, he never relaxes his guard, and he fears nothing. His clever uess as a rule is a safeguard against his making mistakes regarding the desir ability of visiting strangers. He seems instinctively to recognize persons who are not wanted about the premises, and woo to them if their mission be evil and their desire a stealthy invasion. Ho protests promptly and vigoiuusiy, and be will not cense until someone of his household has appeared and taken charge of the matter. —Ed W. Sandys in Outing. The Lion of Keog. There are lions and lions, but the lion of loul is the lion of Hellas, says Professor J. Irving Mannatt in The At lantic. The lions on guard above the gate of Mycenro may be older, but they have lost their heads and therewith their main majesty. The lion sentinel over Leonidas’ grave at Thermopyl® disappeared ages ago, though we still possess the inscription written for it by Simonides: Of beasts the bravest I, of mortals he, Upon this mound of stone now watched by mo. The lion of Chmroneia commemorates a great and definite event, but lio has beeu broken to pieces. Better luck has attened the lion of Keos. Couched here on his flank in the living rock, with re verted bead, 28 feet from tip to tail, every feature perfect, full of life and majesty, one can hardly think of him as a mere image made with hands. He looks rather as if in some prehistoric age—the colossus of his kind—he might have lain down here alive and turned to stone, possibly after clearing tbo island of its first occupants, for there is a myth handed down to us by an old writer that Keos was originally inhabit ed by the nymphs until they were scared away by a lion and fled to Karystos, leaving to the “jumping off place” the name of Lion point. At all events the monument and the myth make a perfect fit. Our lion is the very beast to strike terror into nymphs or any other unwel come neighbors. Horace Greeley’s Eccentric Ideas. Even his eccentric ideas were made plausible by his treatment. I heard him say once that what was then thought to be the Great American desert ought to be planted with Canada thistles so as to give nature some sort of a green start, when other vegetation might be made to follow, lint the trouble is Canada thistles, like any other thing inspired by “pure cussedness,'’ will only grow and thrive where they ought not to. Find a place where their presence would do some good, and, as in the Hnmpty Dumpty case, “all the king's horses and all the king’s ruen” could not fasten them there. This perverseness suggests in a certain way the sma’l boys’ con ception of good and bad- -in.- enchiridion of nature and life. “What’s fun,” he said, “is always wicked; what we don’t want to do is pious ” He Wanted Sailors. Lieutenant Carlin, the executive officer of the Vandalin during the tena ble hurricane in the harbor of Apia, Sa moa, was an enthusiastic ball player, and while the crew was at Mare island prior to tbeir Samoan trip be had given the preference in the selection of sailors to those who could play his favorite game. During the hurricane, after the vessel struck the reef and the men were clinging to the rigging, with the surf sweeping over the deck, many of the men were washed overboard. Lieutenant Carlin determined to make a desperate attempt to carry a line from one part of tbe vessel to the main yard. Into the howling wind he shouted, “I want some volunteers—good sailors!” And out of the darkness a voice re plied, “Lieutenant, there ain't no sail ors hero, but there’s plenty of ball play ers!” —San Francisco Argonaut. .

Question. Although I have suc ceeded in raising very large crops of to matoes, I have bad great difficulty in ripening them uniformly, and while some are smooth and evenly developed a large per cent are rough and uneven, which, of course, injures their market qualities. If you can give me some hints to enable me to overcome these drawbacks, I will be greatly obliged. Answer. —While tomatoes will grow and produce abundantly on any medium soil, there is ono essential to their suc cessful cultivation, and that is very thorough preparation. If the land is subsoiled so much tho better, and it ghou'd then be harrowed and lvkai - - rowed until not a lump remains. It is not necessary to broadcast the manure if a complete commercial fertilizer, with a preponderance of potash and phos phoric acid, is used. Use a handful of this, a handful of wood ashes anrl a tablespooniul of nitrate of soda to each plant, being careful to mix thoroughly with the soil, and to prevent any of these ingredients touching the plant. After the plants are set, that is in two or threo days, give them a thorough working with tho harrow, or cultivator, and, of course, the weeds are to be kept down throughout thp "’'owing season. When f hc fruit begins to set repeat the application of fertilizer. By this plan the plants are strong and stocky and tho fruit abuudant and evenly developed. Stable manure may be used, but it should be thoroughly decomposed, made fine and mixed with the soil. If the plants are troubled with insect enemies tkoy should bo sprayed according to the directions we have frequently given.— State Agricultural IVointment. To UiUi.ru V, ct I,mid. Question. —I have some wet land which is very rich, but 1 have never been able to"cultivate it with success. Can you advise me as to what plan I shall pursue to get the. best return from it? It generally dries off some time in May. Answer. —There are two or three plans by which you can make such land profitable, but the foundation of each is thorough preparation. As soon as it is dry enough to be worked, plow it, that is, break it up deeply and thoroughly and harrow until smooth. Now- sow it in peas, some upright variety which can be cut for hay. When those are taken off plow and harrow again and set in Bermuda grass. It will make a perma nent pasture, or royal hay. Some of the finest Bermuda hay is produced ou just such lands in this state. Another plan, which we have seen highly recommended, is the following: After the preparatory plowing and harrowing, keep down the weeds by harrowing cnce a week until the mid dle of June, then sow in millet, a bushel to the acre if grown for seed, a bushel and a half if grown for hay—the Ger man millet if the seed is to be used, the Hungarian if for hay. When this crop is taken off go over the field two or three times with a cutaway harrow ia opposite directions so as to thoroughly break up the surface. Repeat this op eration every week or ten days until the middle of September, and then sow timothy at the rate of a third of a bushel to the acre, with 250 pounds of fertilizer, ha—-owing it in lightly. By either plan you will have a permanent meadow, which can be grazed or cut as yon prefer—State Agricultural Depart ment. Effect of Mineral Mam res. Question. —Do mineral manures tend to exhaust the nitrogen in the soil? Answer. —The mineral manures ena ble the plants to make use of the nitrio acid that is in the soil. Indeed, if they are absent, the crops cannot take up this nitric acid, no matter how great the amount that is diffused through the soil. Therefore the mineral manures cannot be strictly raid to exhaust the nitrogen, for although they cause the plants to take up a larger amount than they other wise would, this decs not increase the exhaustion, as tbe the minerals only ar rest and hold for the use of the crops that which would otherwise be washed away.—State Agricultural Department.

Journal, “that General Lafayette made his memorable tour of tbe United States and paid his visit to Maine. It was on a Sunday that tho general concluded that visit and pro posed leaving the state from Portland. Governor Parris remonstrated with him for taking his departure ou that dry and said, ‘lf yon will postpone yo.ir trip until Monday, I will myself escort you to the s!iff,3 lino with all the military honors.’ But Lafayette, accustomed to the continental Sabbath, insisted on not altering his plans and left Maine on Sunday, while the Sabbath honoring governor of a God fearing state attended his church service as was his habit.” Ills Pointer. An eminent judge, being asked how he could turn with such facility from one caso to another, replied; “I learned that from what 1 saw at a colored baptism when i was a boy. Tho weather was very cold, so •'that to im merse it was necessary to cut away tbe ice. When one of tho female candidates was dipped back in the water, the cold made her squirm so that sho slipped from the minister’s hands and went down the stream under tho ice.

The whale’s nose is on the top of the head, at least his nostrils are situated there, through which he expels the col umns of water during the action known as “spouting.” Whales only spout when they are feeding. The average production of wine in France for the last ten years has been, in round figui'es, 080,295,000 gallons, and the figures as year’s yield in France and other countries indicate that France is again the largest producer. The greatest bane of Queen Victoria’s existence is the enormous amount cl original “poetry” sent to her from all parts of the world. On the recent birth of the royal grandson nearly half a ton of manuscript verse was received at Windsor. Julius Ccesar couldn’t eat n periwin Ido, and Alexander always fainted at the sight of a black beetle. Chaucer would be unwell for several days if he 1. :rd the cry of “Mackerel!” and Spell never saw a leg of mutton without shivering all over. New York ! ■ more t -mans in its population than any city of the Ger man empire except 12; more French than any city of France except 16; more Italians than live, in any city cf Italy except 8, and more Irish than livs in any city in Ireland except 2.

Hence they must have one in hand all tho time, and thus a while elephant may be said to be a purgatoiy tor the spirits if tbe royal family. An Old Idea. Every day strengthens tbe belief of emi nent physicians that impure blood is thi cause of the majority of our diseases. Twenty-five years ago this theory was used as a basis for the formula of Browns’lror Bitters.

CtYmp lu tho Left Many persons cf both sexes aro great ly troubled with cramp in one or boih of their legs. It comes on suddenly and ia very severe. Most peopla jump ouL of bed (it nearly always comes on cithel just after going to bed or while undress ing) and ask some ouo to rub the log. There is nothing easier than to make the spasm let go its bold, and it can b accomplished without sending for a doc tor, who may be tired and in need of a good night's rest. When 1 nave a pa tient wild is subject to cramp, I always advise him to provide himself with a good strong cord. A long garter will do if nothing else is bendy. When the cramp comes on, take tbo cord, wind it around the leg over the place that is .■rrmrped and take an end in each hand and give, it q pull—ouo that will hurt a littio. •- Instantly tho cramp will depart, and lha sufferer can go to hud assured it will not coins on again that uigkt. I have saved myself many a good night’s rest simply by posting my pa tients subject to spasms of tho logs how to use the cord os above. 1 have never known it to fail, and I have tried it aft er they had worked half tho night at .? the patient was in tho most intense agony.—New York Ledger. Peculiar Trade Customs. The Armenians, who divide with tbe Greeks and Jews the entire mercantile traffic of west Asia, are accustomed to sit down and weep bitterly when they have sold any article of value, declar ing that the purchaser has mined them. The Jews, on similar occasions, rend their garments, which are worn pur posely for such sacrifice, with still louder protestations of ruin. In Asiasic Russia the shopkeepers consider it in cumbent upon them to at first refuse to sell their goods to any customer, arid tho latter is expected to employ himself at least an hour in persuading the mer chant to deal with him. But tho most remarkable custom is Shat which prevails among tho mer chants cf Tibet, a regular band to hand fight being required to take place be- tbo seller and the purchaser on thvfdisposal of any considerable quanti ty cf goods, the former obstinately to fusing tho price to which he had first agreed, and tho laiter as resolutely forc ing it upon l;im. It is not considered businesslike to settle matters until a f6W blows have been exchanged, afte: which tliiy peaceably shakis hands and the bargain is concluded. L>ckauge.
