Traits Observed Among Sicilians
in Their Native Land.
They Rely Upon Themselves to
Right Private Wrongs.
The last British Consular roport
from Sicily remarks that there are
dark shades in tho Sicilian character
which contrast with the simplicity by
which ono might imagine the people
to be wholly possessed. They can bo
deceitful, reticent, malicious and vin¬
dictive; petty thefts and robberies aro
not uncommon; it is said also that in
gratitude they aro sometimes wholly
deficient. It is significant that to be
“scaltro” (cunningly clever) is with
them a meritorious quality, and that
advantageous lying is regarded with
favor even in childron.
Owing to the spirit of “mafia” nnd
“omerta,” which pervades all Sicily,
they combine to hide each other’s mis¬
deeds, and in the case of robbery, and
even assassination, it is generally im¬
possible to get evidence against the
wrong-doers, even from the victims
themselves. There is a secret under¬
standing among all that no one shall
assist the legal authorities in their ef¬
forts to bring criminals to justice, aud
the Sicilian, as a rule, relics on himself
and on his friends for obtaining retri¬
bution for private wrongs, and every
one who transgresses this unwritten
law has to fear the vendetta of his
One of the most disagreeable traits
in their character is excessive cruelty
to animals of which travelers in Sicily
frequently have 6een revolting in¬
stances. When remonstrated with on
account of this they simply shrug thcii
shoulders and say: “What matters?
They are not baptized.” They cannot
comprehend that any creature lias any
claim to consideration the outside pale
of the Church. Frightful raws in horse-
and donkeys go unnoticed, and are
fed on by flics; deep boles are plugged
with tow, and lame animals arc made
Rework with heavy loads as though
nothing was the matter with them.
As for relieving a horse or a donkey
of a heavy burden going up bill, sucli
a thing never enters their heads. To
see a country cart crammed with
people behind a horse which can
scarcely stagger under its heavy load,
and to observe that no one ever en¬
deavors to relieve tho poor animal in
the most difficult passage is a common
occurrence. Live poultry is carried
to the market slung on pack saddles,
or carried by pedestrians from the
hand, by tho legs. Tho birds keep
their heads up as long as streugth en¬
dures, till at last they can do so nc
longer, and die a painful death by a
rush of blood to tho head. Children arc,
it is said, taught cruelty to animals
from infancy, for one of tho common¬
est sights in town and country is to
see children playing with newly caught
robin redbreasts and goldfinches,
which they held tied by the leg with a
string, and pull back when tho poor
bird attempts to fly.
Another defect in the character and
habits of flic Sicilian peasant is lack of
cleanliness. But in spite of all theso
the eencral demeanor and habits of
the Sicilian nre so pleasing that one
feels inclined to regard his deficicn.

Auctioneering in Buenos Ayres.
,Thc auctioneer, martillero or rema-
tador, is a great personage in tho Ar¬
gentine, aud an indespcnsablo factor
in the commerce of the country. An
auction, or remate, is tho beginning,
the end, and the intermediary period
of almost every transaction. In no
city in the world i* tliero anything to
bo compared with tho remates of Bue¬
nos Ayres, and in no country lias sale
by auction become tho universal na¬
tional institution that it is in tho Ar¬
gentine. The moment the visitor
lands he sees imtnonse advertisements,
remate do terronos, a fine corner lot
here, so many leagues there; tho
fourth page of tho huge blanket-sheet
newspapevs is filled with advertise¬
ments of sales of land and houses;
the streets aie hung with flags, ban¬
ners, and scarlet cloths, with white
letters announcing gran remate of this
and that; along the Paseo dc Julio
tho clieap-jack shops have their auc¬
tioneer perched upon tho counter, and
other Tematadores are there under tho
colonnade ready to sell leagues of
land to the newly arrived immigrants.
Cargoes of imported merchandise,
ships, land, houses, crops, wool, the
products and fruits of the country,
cuttle, blood stock, furniture, jewelry,
things new and things old, all pass
under the hammer, and the auctioneer
takes his percentage, varying from
1 1-2 to 8 per oent., and becomes rich¬
er and richer as his voice grows hoars-
sr and hoarser.—[Harper’s Magazine.

VALUE OF VEGETABLE MOLD.
The scientific name of decayed veg-
matter is liutnu*. There has
great difference of opinion as to
value. The original popular idea
that black soil, or that filled with
mattor, must necessarily be
l'ct some of the grain crops,
winter grains, aro grown
bettor after the humus diminishes.
all localities a slight addition of the
mineral elements will en¬
grain to be grown successfully.
According to this, the humus is of
little value, except to improve the
mechanical condition of laud, making
light soil more compact and heavy
clays more porous. But further in¬
vestigation shows that vegetable mat¬
ter in tho Boil has much more than its
mechanical effect. It is always de¬
composing, always throwing off car¬
bonic acid gas, and this is the best and
universal solvent of minerals that
might otherwise bo locked out of
reach of crops. It is certain also that
tho decomposition of humus furnishes
certain proportions of nitrogen, vary¬
ing witli the materials from which it
is composed. Tims the humus of
clover hay is much richer than that of
wheat or other grain straw. [Boston

Mil.KING COWS IN CALF.
It has been advocated at farmers’
institute meetings in Eastern Ontario
that a cow should be milked right up
to calving, and, provided she was not
allowed to run down in condition, it
was not only no injury to either cow
or calf to do so, but it was of the
greatest importance that a milk cow
should in this way be taught her busi¬
ness. On this subject a German au¬
thority says: “With many the opin¬
ion prevails that a cow should be
milked as nearly up to the time of
calving as she will givo milk. Some
go even farther nnd maintain that it is
of importance that it should be ex¬
tended right up to calving. We dis¬
sent. In a majority of cases it is ad¬
visable to quit eight or ten weeks be¬
fore calving. To milk longer is at the
expense of tho development of tho calf,
to the injury of tho cow and her future
milk yield. Tho belief that a young
cow after her first calf should be
milked as long as possible, becauso a
long milking habit can in this way bo
established, is entirely erroneous.
The milk from a cow gets bad accord¬
ing as calving approaches, the cream
will not rise and tho butter not come.
The reason for this is tho absence of
lime nnd phosphoric acid (in combina¬
tion) which go to form tho bones of
(he calf. Even tho strongest feeding
cannot counterbalance tho injury done
by long continued milking. Such
strong feeding shortly before calving
could easily have most serious conse¬
quences. With many excellent milk¬
ers, who do not go dry easily, it may
become advisable to influence tho milk
yield by giving dry feed, and by pro¬
longing tho timo between milkings.”
— [American Dairyman.
STARTING SEEDS IN BOXES.
Those who lack the facilities of a
hot-bed or cold-frame may have early
plants by sowing their seeds in boxes
in tho window. Long, narrow boxes
about three inches deep aro the best.
Such boxes may be placed near the
glass, where tho plants will enjoy the
light, and their Bhallow depth will al¬
low them to dry out freely.
Fill tho boxes with fino, porous soil,
tho surface-soil being sifted, and the
whole well firmed nnd made almost as
smooth and level as a board by press¬
ing with n planed surface. If the
seeds are very fine, sow them in rows
over this smooth soil, and take groat
care in watering to avoid roughing the
surface. Keep tho soil moist, but
not wet, as too much moisturo de¬
stroys tho gorm of the seed. The
s ainc care is also necessary after tho
plants appear, to prevent them from
damping off.
If the plants begin to crowd each
other, remove a portion to another
box. A pen-knife can be used to pick
out tho plants, if very small. Plants
thus removed become stronger and
better rooted than those left in the
box, for the cropping of the roots has
the same effect as pruning the tops;
namely, an abundant, growth of new
shoots. Many persons transplant all
theiryoung plants to induce tho growth
of an abundance of fibrous roots;
and when this is done tho plants
are transferred to their blooming quar¬
ters.
Light, heat, air and a reasonable
degree of moisture are all essontial to
young seedling plants. Theso requi¬
sites being judiciously provided, any
one can succeed iu starting plants from
feeds; and, to have them early, a few
boxes in the house will produce jn*t as
good plant* a* the best hot-bed that
caw be constructed.—[Ladies’ Homo
Companion.
A NEW MILKING MACHINE.
After all the many labor-saving de¬
vices which have been introduced into
the work of tho dairy, tho tireaomo
milking by hand still remains. Several
milking machines have been devised
nnd tried, but so far without success.
Nono of them have performed tho
work in a manner consistent with tho
lacteal functions of the cow, and con.
sequontly have failed when put to a
test. A more promising effort has
been recently mado by a sanitary en¬
gineer, a Scotchman residing in tho
famed dairy district of Ayrshire,
which is certainly based upon reason¬
able principles, and is consistent with
tho natural process by which the milk
Is drawn from the cow’s udder by the
calf. This is by suction and by at¬
mospheric pressure due to a vacuum
provided by an air pump.
Soft elastic rubber cups arc attached
to the cow’s teats, which are held by
the air pressure, and these are connect-*
ed with a set of tubes nnd pipes,
through which the milk is conveyed to
a proper receptacle. The principle is
a scientific oue, and if the obvious dif¬
ficulties in the way of applying it to
practice can be overcome there is little
doubt of its final success. If this can
be assured, the most troublesome and
costly part of the dairy work will have
been done away with, and the whole
of it can be reduced to a simple method
by conveying the milk directly to the
separator or the butter extractor. Then
there will bo nothing between the
cows and the final product but this
mechanical agency. — [Now York

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Feeding troughs will always save
feed.
Y'oung ducks need careful feeding
at first.
Eggs a month old will not do for
hatching.
Guineas will almost invariably hide
their nests out.
Geese and ducks need bulky food
instead of 30 much grain.
To be a master of a farm a man
must be a master of himself.
Keep a watch on the turkey hens 01
some of the eggs will bo lost.
Supplying good drainage will aid
materially in preventing roup.
The best plan of stopping feather
eating is to kill those that begin it.
A number of foods may be used to
good advantage in feeding poultry.
Select your farm hands as you
would your seed—with extra care.
Generally it is the poultry for egg
product,ion that pays the farmers best.
In using artificial mothers care
should be taken not to keep too
warm.
Tho least thing on a farm, if once
neglected, soon grows to be the
largest.
A tablespoonful of copperas in the
drinking water for younger fowls
will bo found healthy.
Time is the farmer’s most assiduous
laborer, at work night and day, but it
needs a clear head to boss it.
Fresh eggs are in demand these
times. Are you doing your share
toward supplying the demand?
White bran makes an excellent food
for poultry; it should never be fed dry
or raw; always scald it thoroughly.
Rats are often very troublosomo
among young poultry, causing con¬
siderable loss; they must bo guarded
against.
Eight nverago hen eggs will weigh
a pound, but theio is considerable
difference between the largest and
smallest.
After the fowls can be given a free
range care should be taken not to
overfeed; very little corn is needed
from this timo on.
There is little in this world but what
is of use to the farmer. Even tho
blind puppy is often a better watch
than a big, strong mastiff.
Good, well-cured hay is an article of
food that seldom causes any ill effects.
All classes of stock may cat their fill
of it without danger of colic nnd other
complaints of the bowels.
Poor cattlo decline in value. If you
want to raiso cattlo to sell raise good
ones. If you are in tho business for
fun and raise cattlo to give away it
doesn’t matter how poor they arc.
Cities Born in a Week.
Some idea of tho immenso size of
London may be gathered from the fact
that there were registered during tho
week ending January 24, 2789 births
and"2212 deaths. The births were 12
below and the deaths 168 above the
average for the last 10 yeai-s.
Here wo have people enough born
into the world in one week to consti¬
tute a “city” in tho ambitious phrase¬
ology of Western English, and enough
deaths in a time of profound peace to
render memorable a battlefield.
But the most striking fact in this
table is that not one of all tjie 2212
died of small-pox. It is not a little
strange that, with so grand a record
to show, there is to be found a con¬
siderable number of really ablo and
well-informed people opposed to vae?
cination.—iLondon Globe,

A Sailor’s Strange Pet.
While serving on the Asiatic station,
on the old Monocacy, we had a man
just bad enough to be frequently in
durance on bread and water diet,
writes Thomas Gibbons, United States
Navy. On one occasion the sentry
heard tho man talking aloud in his
cell. Listening awhile, he crept noise¬
lessly to tho door nnd, peering through
the opening, saw the prisoner caress¬
ing and feeding a largo rat The sen¬
try called the sergeant, who witnessed
tho strange sight, and, subsequently,
at different times nearly all on board
who had authority to pass the sentry,
peeped into tho cell to seethe prisoner
and his singular pet. The rat acted
as a sort of guardian over his slum¬
bers, and kept other rats out of the
cell. This tho prisouor told me him-
self. Perhaps the strangest part of
this queer companiouship was tho
quick way the rat would answer tho
man’s call whenever he was taken
back to confinement after a period of
liberty; and afterward, when he had
managed to keep out of trouble longer
than usual, the rat found out tho ham¬
mock in tho gangway where the men
slept i.i hot weather, and frequently
visited him there.—[Times-Democrat.
IIow the Average Novel Sells.
If a novel by a tolerably well-
known author sells 8000 copies nowa¬
day* it is doing remarkably well, and
oftcuer tho publisher is satisfied if the
sale reaches 2000 copies. There are a
score of novels on the lists of leading
publishers today which I could name,
of which there hare not becu more
than 1500 and 2000 copies sold, yet a
person not conversant with the facts
would easily place their sales at three
times tiiat number. In the literary
world there is nothing so cruelly true
as the fact that all that glitters is not
gold. I have in mind as I write twe
authors who are, in every respect in
the public estimate, successful writers
who positions in the literary world
are envied by hundreds of young
writers. Yet I know in both of these
cases that their incomes from their
writings are not equal to that of tho
most ordinary clerk in any prosperous
business houso. Fortunately, neither
ano of my friends depend upon litera¬
ture for his living. In literature,
revenue is far below fame. Many an

secs but little of the former__[New

of the pot, and was thus euabled to
quickly plunged draw himself out. He then
into an adjoining pot of cold
water. His hands were badly burned,
but otherwi e he had hardly a scar on

he had on heavy wollcn underware and
outer clothing, and before it had burned
through Adams was in the pot of cold
water.
