LICK OBSERVATORY. IT CONTAINS THE GREATEST TEL¬ ESCOPE IN THE WORLD. Its Eccentric Founder's Bomantic Lovs Affair, The traveler who visits California should not fail to go to San Jose and take the delightful ride up Mount Hamilton. There be will sec the famous Lick Observatory, with its great telescope, the largest in tho world. From Hnn .lose to the top of the mountain is a distance of twenty- seven miles, but the easiest mountain ride l ever bad the. good fortune to take. James Lick bequeathed $050,000 for the building of the observatory. It stands on the top of Mount Hamilton, the rock summit of which was leveled down over 200 feet to give suitable standing room for the necessary build¬ ings. The diameter of tlie great dome of the observatory proper is seventy- five feet. It is made of steel plates and weighs 180 tons, yet by the turn¬ ing of a little wheel the dome in noise¬ lessly moved so that its window opens to any part of the sky that is desired. The telescope is fifty-six and a half feet long and weighs twenty-four tons, yetis so poised that it can be movedtc point in any direction by the turning of a wheel or by placing your hand on the lower cud of the telescope. The entire floor of tlie observatory can lie lowered or i’fted a distance of seven¬ teen feet, so (hat the observer may sit in bis wheeled chair and follow the moving telescope fiom tho zenith tc the horizon. Under the massive iron pier 'sup¬ porting the te.escopc James Lick is buried. There is a little romance and “a woman in the case” that brought James to this magnificent resling place. Below him stretches the beau¬ tiful valley of Santa Clara, inclosed on the west by a range of low bills cov¬ ered with orchard and vine and be¬ yond the great ocean; to the east and southeast the snowy tops of the Sierra Nevada range glitter in the sunlight, although they are over 140 miles away. James, when a boy, worked in a mill in Pennsylvania, and fell in love with bis employer’s daughter. He asked for the band of his beloved, but wai informed by the stern father (bat $18 per month was far below his daughter’! ambition. James replied that if the girl would have him they would marry without his consent, but after time for reflec¬ tion the girl came to her father's view and James left in disgust, assuring the old gentleman that bo would yet own a mill, the hopper of which should coat more than his entire plant. James went to South America; made $40,000 in milling; came with his money to California in 1846; bought land in San Francisco and else¬ where in the state and became one of the first and greatest of California’s millionaires. Tart of his property was a mill of the greatest magnificence, with a hop¬ per made of every variety of expen¬ sive wood, highly polished and inlaid. Ho had the mill photographed, ex¬ terior and interior, but especially the hopper, and sent copies to his former employer, llis lady love had married in the meantime, but James remained single and left all bis millions to edu¬ cational and charitable purposes. Lot me give you a few figures that will show the relative size of the great Lick telescope. The “light- grasping power” of (lie four largest telescopes in (lie world as follows: Washington telescope, area 55i sqnare inche*, Vienna telescope, nren 573 square inches. Russia telescope, area 706 square inches. Lick telescope, area 1018 square inches. The width of the great lens in the Lick telescope is thiry-six inches; that of the Russia telescope is twenty- seven inches. 1 bad supposed that in the grinding of one of these powerful lenses the most perfect evenness of graduation would bo secured, but, on the contrary, there are in the great lens in the Lick telescope places where depres-ions of one-eight of nn inch are made to counteract the differing dens¬ ity of the glass, which could be de¬ termined only by the eye of the finish¬ er, who uses the hand and the eye al¬ ternately.— [Detroit Free Press. Another Festival Lost. “The new president of Columbia College is a reek’esi innovator and iconoclast,” asserts the New York Mercury, “and the boys and girls who dwell in fashionable localities aro ready to scoro him unmercifully. He has decreed that there shall be no more speeches hv graduates on Com¬ mencement Day, no lovely Latiu 6alutatories and heart-breaking vale¬ dictories, no showers of bouquets and pyramids of blossoms, no chance for tie new bachelor of arts to fire bis eloquence into tlie rosebud garden of girls at his feet—nothing but a tame and conventional conferring of de¬ grees, music and a benediction. Thus the old gods are overthrown, the ancient festivals are abolished, the crowns of myrtle and laurel become dust and the business idea ‘knocks the stuffing’ out of the dead languages- There is nothing ieft but to tender our respectful sympathies to the hoys and offer to ween with the srirls.” FOIl FARM AMD BARDEN. Ot TWIT SITU HENS. The egg eating habit in hens nifty be cured by outwiting them. Build the nests iu such a way that the bens can¬ not get at tho eggs, such as nail kegs stood on ciul, half filled with hay or straw, then tho ben cannot reach it when standing on the edge. Another way is to make nests in dark places where tlie hen can see to go into the nests, but not after she gets there. Feed plenty of crushed oyster shells so ns to make the eggshells bard. When liens are at liberty to have plenty of exercise they are less liable to contract this habit than when kept in confine¬ ment.— [Farm and Home. TKANSI’I.ANTING I.AKGP. TREKS. An English forester who claims to have bad large experience says: ‘•Sonic time ago I was surprised to find that those trees which lmd been dug round hikI lifted the same season, and general 1 }’ the same day as dug loui.d, were growing b tier than moit of those that lind been previously prepared. The only principle upon which this can be accounted for is that the one check, sudden though it be, is less injurious to the trees than the two checks, with an interval be¬ tween. If a tree growing upon a dry open soil and in full vigor be dug care¬ fully round, and removed forthwith to other suitable soil and set, the roots, cut, bruised and mutilated though they be, will heal up and recover better than if (be operation had been performed a( two separate periods, as commonly practiced and genera.lv recommenil- 9(1.” IIOW TO lilsow ROOT CROP. The greatest trouble in growing a crop of roots, viz., the singling of (lie plants, is avoided by this method: Tlie seed is sown in rows twenty-seven to thirty inches apart with a hand garden drill, which drops and covers the seed and rolls the ground, leaving a plain mark. For beets and mangels four to six pounds of seed are sown per acre. As soon as t he young plants are up, the drill is change.1 to a hand cul¬ tivator and net to cut ten inches Avide. This is run across the rows so ns to cut out the plants and weeds, leaving bunches three or four inches wide across the rows. If there are any va¬ cancies plants arc picked up by ahoy following and transplanted to fill tho vacancies. The horse hoc is then run along die wide rows as close as possible to the plants, and when necessary, the hand cubivator is used again on the cross rows. Iu this way the plants and weeds may grow together until the former are well rooted, when the weeds may be cut out with a very sharp hoe. If two plants are growing very close together, they should not be disturbed, as they will make good roots, anil to pull up one xvill cheek the other. All others nrc cut out with (lie weeds. Tho ground should be in good condition and tilth, and made tine and mellow before planting.— [New York Times. OSAGE ORANGE HEDGES. Tlie hedges one sees in passing over llie country are, many of them, con¬ structed—or grown—-on a wrong principle. They are close and thick at a height of three or four feet, where closeness is not required, and at the surface they are open enough lo allow free passage to the pigs. They havebecn allowed to grow im- til 't became apparent that tliev would soon be out of reach und become a nuisance wiihout some attention, and then they were rut down, not to the ground, as they ought to have been, but to what was considered a p-oper height for a hedge. Now is the time to right this, before growth begins. If cut down now to within one or two inches of the sur¬ face a groat, many sprouts will spring up at once and make such a hedge as no animal larger than a very small rabbit can get through. There need be no fear of hurting the hedge. The vitality of the osage orange is so strong that it often endures what is ten times more trying, viz., p:lining in July or August—a very i i ij n dieioit s j in iceed ing. After cutting down as above the growth should he allowed to go on at will all summer; then if thick enough below the cutting may he made next spring at the proper height. After this it will require a little pruning twice a year—in Julie, when the young growth is rs soft as cheese, cutting this soft new growth (the top only) with a quick, horizontal cut, a sharp corn-cutter being a good imple¬ ment for the purpose—then again in spring at tlie usual time, pruning more ar less as may bo required, and thus Jit. keeping the hedge in good condi¬ tion and under complete control. This double pruning, it will be un¬ derstood, is crippling, so to speak, but it is judicious crippling, and without this the hedge becomes unmanageable ind a nuisance—[National Stockman. l lTLItE OF HOUSE BREEDING. Most farmers, however small thrir farms may he, have one or more brood trares from which in add'tiou to doing their part of the farm work, oeca- sionally raise a colt “just to keep up ti e supply of horses on tho firm.” The time lias come when farmers as well as those engaged in most other kinds of business, have n strong com¬ petition in every bran oil of their busi¬ ness. It is a deplorable fact that n groat many fanners do not lake tlie trouble to inform themselves ns to wliat is going on in this busy world of ours. There are many Jartn homes into which a paper never conies, the own¬ ers being satisfied to plod wearily along with no other aim than to ac¬ complish as much work as possible eacli day. If any farmer, instead of romplain<> ing about the “hard times’* and every¬ thing overdone, will take the trouble to count the horses that arc necessary to carry on tie farms within a radius of say two miles, we venture to say he will be surprised at the number. When we realize the extent of our country, the demand for all classes of good horses in our great and constant¬ ly growing cities, the supply of which is continually being renewed, can we have any misgivings as lo the future of horse breeding providing our aim is improvement. The French Coach breed, alt bough hut recently introduced by importation from Franco, is destined to become a prime factor in tho improvement of our native breeds. They are the result of two hundred years of judicious breeding under the direct supervision of the French gov¬ ernment, ti e siarting point of which was the Arab and Barb horse, which history tells us were man’s compan¬ ions as well ns servants. They are the same intelligent, active, courageous animals they were two hundred years ago and (lifter with them only us re¬ gards size. They have been bred larger, the object of which was to in¬ crease their usefulness. They now range in size from 1200 to 1400 pounds. They are the trotting breed in France where they have very good records considering the distance, which is generally 2 8-4 miles. As they are larger (ban onv trotters, they can not hope to gain as low a record as some of them, but in their native country are tested more for endurance which is considered of more impor¬ tance. In the comparatively few sections of the country in which they liaye been introduced, they arc giving ex¬ cellent satisfaction among the farmers and Ireeders, especially in the Eastern and Middle states, where they arc ad¬ mirably adapted to supply all demands for a horse that will weigh upon an average 1150 to 1300 lbs. There is a demand for carriage horses that far exceeds the supply, and if we can get a breed of general purpose, farmers’ horses that will supply this demand, wliat need have we to look farther. — [American Rural Home. FARM ANI) GARDEN NOTES. The difficulty of keeping up fertility of light sandy soils under a system of cropping with grain lias led and will continue to lead farmers owning such lands to devote them more to fruit¬ growing. If you have a particularly fine plant of tomatto which shows qualities ahead of (lie rest, save the seed, but if you have a greenhouse do not depend on keeping it pure in this way, but late in the month strike cuttings from it and winter over in a cool greenhouse. Buy your trees and have them de¬ livered in the Fall, and then heel them in. This will he found much the bet¬ ter plan, while (ho additional cost is very small, being only the interest on the money and Ibo work of heeling them in. When you have had a long, hard day at plowing, come home late and find that your wife has done tho even¬ ing milking, nothing will rest her tired and aching back more (lmn your arm about her waist, anil the few words you whisper iu her err—just such words as you used (o say to her before you were married. Bolling the meadows before tlie soil becomes dry will help the grass. Roll¬ ing the plowed land will save one har¬ rowing and pulverize the soil as the burrowing cannot do. Rolling the grain fields after sowing clover may insure a good catch of c’over and set¬ tle the soil about the roots heaved out by the frost. The roller is one of the best tools a farmer has. How to Keep the Bed Trout Rocking. Lieutenant Beale of (he Signal Ser¬ vice, says that if parties who are dis¬ turbed by wliat is termed “recking beds” in the time of storms will open the windows of their houses on what sailors term the “leeward side," that is to say, of tho side opposite to that whence the storm comes, they will not bo troubled with it. “The rocking is the result,” be explains, “of a difler- enee between the air indoors and that on the outside. When a bigger puff comes tho bed, forced by the air with¬ in, which seeks to join that out-doors, moves in one direction and is forced back when tho putt becomes lighter. Relieve the pressure by opening the windows, and this so-called rocking ceases. Many a house that lias been blown down in a tornado would have been spared its owner had this fact been known. Tlie proof of what I say as to this pressure is shown in the fact that houses after great storms are frequently found wi.h the leeward wall only blown out and the other three remaining intact.—[Chicago Herald.

The London Zoological Gardens have just received several specimens of the umbretta, which has not been exhibited since the year 1884. It is, however, fairly common throughout the Cape Colony and other parts of Africa, and extends its range to Mada¬ gascar. It is one of those birds which lias proved a difficulty to the 6ystc- matist, for it does not fit accurately into any classificatory schema. It is half a heron and half a stork, with a general appearance which is unlike that of either. On the whole, its structure comes nearer to the heron, and it has the rather melancholy de¬ meanor of that bird. It lives upon fish and frogs. Curiously enough, it is looked upon by some of the natives of both Africa and Madagascar as a bird of evil augury. In Africa it is held to be sacred and to possess the power of witchcraft. There is something portentous and solemn about the behavior of all these herons and bitterns, wlfcli easily ac¬ counts for the origin of these legends Occasionally tlie umbretta relaxes the severity of its demeanor and executes a fantastic dance with outspread wings. It is also a bird of refined and (esthetic tastes, which are not shared by its immediate kinsmen, the herons and storks. It adorns its nest with buttons, fragments of pottery, bits of glass, and any other bright-looking objects which come in its way. The nest itself is enormous—nearly six feet across—and its interior divided into three chambers.
