•VENUE OF CEDARS.
A Wonderful Railroad That
Leads From Tokio to Nikko.
Forty Miles of Trees, Imposing
In Their Grandeur,
The Japanese, when they entomb'd,
at Nikko, lyeyasu, one of their greatest
•talesmen and heroes, the founder <f
the Tokugawa drnasty of military rul
era, whose power cam# to nn end only
with the revolution of 1HRH, after la*!

they knew when they built in a m<>st
straight road from Tokio to the mni 1
ground at Nikko, lined the g <'dor di<
tanre on either hand with pines and
cedars, whoso fragrant hreatli and giant
top* p-rfumo and shadow, the path.
Hi nee then 300 yean liavo cornu and
gone,adding y,:nr by year ring growths,
till now these forest ghats guard the
way, mature and vigorous, as if age
only added to their strength. This
avenue of cedars inches almost f..rty
miles of the way from Tokio to Nikko.
I have aecn avenues of oak at Windsor
and Buckingham maybe two miles or
over long; but think of it! u roadway,
graded level, about twenty feet wide,
curbed at lioth sides with living water
running, and with steeply-sloping
hank* from aix to twelve feet high, and
ti|*on these in an cndlost procession the
great cedars of Japan. 1 wonder if the
world elsewhere can match it.
Noble trees impress most people;
with m**, never before had f Mt the
dignity, tho majesty, that trees liko
these could give as an expression of
human emotion. The desire which tho
descendants and successor* of the great
lyeyasu had to embody in a fitting way
their reverence for his—to them—god¬
like powers could not possibly have
been displayed in a grander m mu ,*r
thnn is aeon to-day in this wonderful
avenue nf cedars. They stretch along
mile after mile, sometimei only singly
iti a straight line close together, the
swelling bases quite touching each
other, and then they stretch out in
couples nud tr<plots. Often twin trees
seem to spring from one base. No.
where is there absoluteness of straight
line, ,Vtff everywhere that delightful un¬
balanced ay mine fry peculiar to Japanese
nrt and which Nature only Vs*6 lie*.
Tho cedars vary in diumeU i from
feet to aix feet. Tho bark is reddish,
thin and etoso set in rather narrow
parallel atrip*. The trunks ore straight
and uniformly round, reaching 50 to 75
feet in height before branching much,
and reaching an altitude of 130 to ISO
feet. Tho branches are not large in
proportion to tho trunks, so that trees
stand clou* together, interlacing their
shade.
Wo entered this avenue from the
railway station, Tlsu-no-tniya, ut about
3 o’clock in tiro afternoon, having ar¬
ranged for jm-riki-shas and extra men
to pull us all tho way to Nikko, ex

23 English miles, and a modornto up¬

solemn as night settled down and noth

riki-shnmon seemed to feet their way
with their feet; a paper lantern with a
tallow candlo lighted the space that a
firefly would. The banks of the road¬
way were quilo above our heads, but
one after another we could see the great
trunks of the cedars loading up till lost
in the upper darkness, Every now and
then tho “riky” men would startle m
by “Ha,” then “Sh,” ‘'8wya," tk«

A New-Found Organ of Sense.
During the last few years certain
physiologists have been working out a
curious puzzle, nnd have found that a
remarkable organ—existing not only in
man but in all mammals and iu bird*
and moat fishes—is the seat of a special
Mnse. This organ is a membrane of
the hoad, lodged in a bony Nabyriuth
consisting of a vestibule aud threosem
circular canals and continuous with the
cavity containing the heating apparatus.
The organ was long supposed to play
tome part in the perception of sound,
but it has now been demonstrate! that

tmr ROT IN POTATOES.
What is called the dry rot in the po¬
tato is probably really the common
form of this disease, that under certain
conditions has been arrested before com¬
pleting entire destruction of the potato.
The fungus cannot grow in an atmos¬
phere unfavorable to It. A hint on this
subject is given in the experience of an
old potato grower, who as soon as rot
is discovered in his potatoes places them
in some tight compartment where they
are kept in an atmosphere charged with
the fumes of burning charcoal. It will
not do to clry thh in a house cellar, for
the carbonic r.cid gis thu* developed is
a most deadly poison. Hi find* that
not only are potatoes preserved sound
when tliin treated, but when it has be¬
gun the rot is arrestcl, an 1 remains
only a form of dry rot that progresses
no further. But it is important that
potatoes thus affected he not used for
see 1, as in moist ground the dormant
sj> »res come to life again and propagate
»upidly. — American Cultivator.
CUT KODDEIt FOIt SIIEKP.
Professor K \V. B.ewart fed twenty
five mcdium-sizcl Merino shocp 50
pound* of long, early cut timothy hay
per day for one week, and on gathering
up the fragments of each day found
that the avernga was 12 pounds par day
left uneaten. Jt was found also that
the hay left uneaten was not left be¬
cause of overfeeding, for when 75
pound* per day were fed they ate the
same proportion of it. They were then
given lift/ pmnds of tin same hay per
day, cut three-eighths of an inch in
length, for one week, and on carefully
g ither.ng up wlmt was left found lets
than two pound* average per diy un¬
eaten. On increasing tho cut hay to GO
pound* it was found to he all that they
would cat. This was continued till it
was concluded that 0) pounds nf cut
hay was equal for sheep to 75 pounds
of the same hay uncut. It wa» also
found in regard 1o fodder-corn . that
when cut three-sixteenths of nn inch in
length twice as much of it w’as eaten by
sheep as when uncut. These experi¬
ments show that cutting fod ler for
sheep well repays cost in saving of
food.

The grower of such perishable articles
- oerries subject to a constant ner
vou- '.kciin while the season lasts, and
should, in tiifMiiriMAC'i^of thing*, be bet¬
ter remunerated than the er
or tho producer of non-perishable prod¬
ucts. Bomo fruit growers are so happily
situated that they can employ worneu as
pickers, and then there is no need oi
fort m mi or tickets, a* each picker cau
keep her own accounts aud pick in sepa¬
rate crates, subject to inspection at noon
or night.
The trout l • with children is gouer
ally lack of mature judgment, but some
are tricky and dishonest. Most every
extensive fruit dealer i* subj ct to
strikes when the picking gets poor, sivs
a writer in WcVs Magazine, and 1 have
fi un i it best to have a contract with
heir parents, subjjct' to penalty if
broken. This is enforced by withhold¬
ing pay until the close of the season,
with forfeiture of a portion if contract
is broken.
1 once visited a largo berry-growing
firm near Philadelphia, who had erected
a cheap two story barrack of twelve
rooms, where wore housed their sixty
pickers. They cooked for themselves
on an old stove iu tho opeu air, and the
escape from the hot city to tho open
fields and profitable employment was a
rare picnic for them.
FAI L AND WINTER IN TIIK CORNFIELD.
Which i* better, fall or winter
ploughing, for the corn crop? depends,
like most questions in farm economy,
upon more conditions than are often
mcntionc !. As a general rule, and in
tar tho greater variety of soils and con
ditions, fall ploughing and the prelim
mary fitting o' the soil, so far certainly

the joints between or through the fur

no other method by which a given
quant ty of manure can be made to pro

and the fi-sure* closed up, the s*il be¬

HOW TO KEEP HONEY.
All surplus should be removed from
hives at close of honey season, If left
it will soon become da k and have a
solid appearance, and bees cannot pro¬
tect a large surplus so well, and unless
the hives are very close robbers will find
their way to the honey. Comb honey
should he carefully stored in a close
building, so that bees cannot find it;
not in cellars or under-ground reposito¬
ries of any kind, but ab >ve ground, and
have plenty of light and air, and at the
lame time prevent bees from entering.
Oonib houcy can be kept free from ants
and other insects by placing it on ta¬
bles, the feet of which may be set in
basins of water and kerosene. Ants are
very destructive to comb honey; they
| tincture the cappings and destroy its
appearance. Extracted honey should
not as yet le kept in air-tight vessels,
as it is still in process of ripening, aud
if tho gas that is produced canint es¬
cape it will burst the packages. Hence
they should have a small opening at
least. Extracted honey may be kept
together in any quantity if pretty well
ripened; if not, it should be in small
quantities. Earthenware aud tin are
probably best for keeping extracted
honey In, although keg* and barrels can
be u*ed, but should first receive a coat¬
ing of bcesw.ix inside. Tit’s can be
easily done by pouring in melted bees¬
wax and running it over the surface.—

Morbid Craving After Sympathy.
Curious instances arc related of this pe¬
culiar attitude of mind. A young lady
once waited upon a surgeon for treat¬
ment of a wound upon the arm. lie gave
her a lotion and an ointment, neither of
which had any beneficial effect, The
origin ly and the obstinancy of an apparent¬
last trifling he injury puzzled the doctor. At
L nd the curiosity to take a piece
of the black matter that covered the
wound aud submit it to analysis. To his
astonishment he found that it was noth¬
ing more than liquorice or Spanish juice.
Once upon the right scent, he made
inquiries that confirmed his theory, and
was soon able to inform the mother that
her daughter made the .wound by scratch¬
ing the skin deep enough to draw blood,
and then rubbing in Spanish jutce. The
should lady, naturally indignant that her child

apologize await with to the local practitioner, and to

daughter’s with craving for sympathy, and

flicted wound.

“Fierce’s Favorite Prescription.’*
Br. Pierce’s Favorite Proscription is a
legitimate medicine, not a beverage; care
fully compounded by an experienced phy
sician, and adapted to woman’s delicate
organization. It is purely vegetable in
condition composition and perfectly harmless in any
of the system. Contains no
ftlcohol to inebriate; no syrup or sugar
to ferment in tho stomach and derange
digestion.
As an invigorating tonic, it imparts
strength worked, to the whole system. For over
“ worn-out,” “ run-down,” debili
tated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seam
stresses, mothers, “shop-girls,” housekeepers, nursing
and feeble women generally, Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is tho greatest
earthly tizing cordial boon; and being unequaled as an appe
restorative tonic.
As a soothing and strengthening nervine,

“Talking Shop.”
To talk about one’s business in a mixed
com ipany is 55 complete variance with
goo d taste, C5 those who do it make
themselves disagreeable. They do so, as
a rule, however, thoughtlessly. Better
swear off and talk socially about anything
else. Mosquitoes, yellow fever, highway
robbery or ballet dancers are better and
more interesting subjects to discuss.
If rivers come out of their prison thus
bright and immortal, shall not I, too, re¬
new my spring life with joy and hope?
Have l no hopes to sparkle on the surface
of life's current? It is w'orth while to have
our faith revived by seeing where a buried river
swells and eddies about a half
rock.
