Vigorous Life,—A strong plant digests its food totter than a weak one, and its appetite, so to sfieak, is more vigorous, preciiwly as is that of a strong, healtuy young aiumal. It is with the plant as with the animal; early feeding, and vigor of growth, bring early and vigor¬ ous maturity.

The fear that we posed may of, produce more than «an be dis¬ is a bug-bear and a phantom. It has been conclusively shown, that at a certain price, we can control all the Eu¬ ropean markets, and that this price, while it |mys us fairly, is too small fora profit to the European farmers, who have t* pay large rents, heavy taxes, employ expensive labor, and use costly fertili¬ zers. Our Need.—The present necessity is proportionate larger crops at the same cost, or a less cost, than our present small ones. This result can only to se cured by additional fertilizing. The present average of our crops is not more than one-fourth of that which the soil is capable three-fourths of producing, and this extra msy be produced without any more labor by the use of fertilizers or additional manures; ’ but fertilizers chiefly. --- _ Bur ( „ roter.—A correspondent of the Kura!

She passed the real points of difficulty and danger, and was with iu 120 miles of Behring strait on the 2SUi of September. 1 Sfg, when the ice closed in upon her, and she was unable to move till the 18th of the following July. the Ihe region in which she passed winter is well known to explorers and wba'ers, many of whom have paused through the same waters, encountering no ice, even as late as the 1st of Novem tor.

But question of an open pas-age is one that Lieutenant Palander is not prepared to answer.

'Isoa4on Times. J At a meeting the Royal Society, Dr. C. W. Siemens, F. R. H., gave a detailed description the above of some experiments upon ducted subject, last which have been con the two months at his house at Bherwood, and exhibited specimens, the method pursued was to plant quick growing seeds and plants, such as mus tard, carrots, swedes, beans, cucumbers and melon., in pot*, and these pot* were divided in four groups, one of which exposed was kept to entirely the influence in the dark, of the one electric was lght only, one to the, influence of day light only and one to day-light and electric light in succession. The electric liifht was applied forMx hours each even ing trom fi to 11-—and the plants were fi n .eft in darkness during the re malnder of the night. Ihe general re suit was that the plants kept entirely in he dark soon died; those exposed to electric light only or to daylight only throve ajioutequany; and those exposed to both day and electric light throve far better than either, the speciminsof mustard and of carrot* exhibited to the societv remarkable showing this difference in a very way. Dr Siemens only consider* himself aa yet on the threshold of the inveaiiga tun, but thinks the experiment already made are sufficient to justify Ihe follow ing conclusion: hirst, that electric light is efficacious in producing a chlo ropfayl in the leaves of plants, an i in promoting growth. Second, that an electric center of light equal to 1,400 candies placed at a distance of two meters from growing plants ap peared to be equal in effect to average but daylight at this f-easop of the year ; that more econimical effects can be obtained by more powerful centers. Third that the carbonic acifl and nitrogenous compounds generated in diminutive quantities in the electric effects arc produce no sensible deleterious upon Fourth, plants inclosed in the same space. that plants do not ap¬ pear the twenty-four to require a hours period of rest during of the day, but make increased and vigorous progress if subjected light, during the daytime to sun¬ and during the night to electric light. Fifth, that the radiation of heat from powerful electric arcs can be made available to counteract theeflectof night frost, arid is likely to promote tbe set¬ tling and ripening of fruit in the open air. Sixth, that while under the in¬ fluence of electric light plants can sus¬ tain increased stove heat without col¬ forcing lapsing, by a circumstance favorable to electric light. .Seventh, that tht- expense of electro-horticulture de¬ cal pends mainly and upon the cost of mechani¬ energy, is very moderate where natural* sources of such energy, such as waterfalls, can be made available. Before concluding his observations, tulips Dr. .Siemens full placed brightness a pot of budding elec” in the of an trie lamp in the meeting room, and in about forty minutes the buds had ex¬ panded into full bloom.

The Big Pay of French Cooks. The French cooks, meaning the chefs in this city, says the New York Timet, are said to occupy a very enviable posi tion, and to have a most exalted opinion of themselves. They represent art, in j their own judgment, as much as painters, sculptors, poets, or composers do, and I have a pride in their vocation which they are fond of discussing, explaining and French glorifying. A number of so-called cooks are Swiss and Italian, and the members of the “profewnion” have increased of late, particularly within a year. The high salaries attainable here tempt chefs even from Paris, which they regard which as tbe center of the universe, and would induce nothing but prospective riches them to surrender. They do not earn there one quarter what thev earn here. In Paris 5,000 or 6,000 franc* a year la considered a handsome recompense; but in Xew York, they the are paid munificently, far more so than majority of salesmen, accountants, journalists, clergymen. physicians, literatteurs, «r Their salaries range from $2,._>00 to $o,000 and $6,000. Many pri vat* houses as well as leading clubs and hotels, have chefs of the cordon blou order. Ihe Lotos Club pays its chefs, says York a ( correspondent, lub, $4,000; the $3,000; Union the league, New $4,500; the Manhattan, $4,700; the Union, 16,060; the Knickerbocker, $5,500. Among the hotels, the Brevoort pays $4,000; the Buckingham, $4,000; the Clarendon, $4,500; the Metropoli tan, $4,500; the Astor, $4,200; the Bt. Nicholas, $4,000; the h ifth Avenue. $5, 000; the Bristol, $4,300; the West minster, $4,4^0: Delmonico, Broadway and Twenty-sixth street, $4,000. Thete figures must be exaggerated; but there is no doubt that the pay of French cooks is disproportionately large. Rapid (.rowth of the West. Says the Yankton Press: The move¬ ment of population from East to West shows no indication of abatement^ but rather swells in volume as the years go by. Kansas has grown 100,600 to 1,000,(KI0. in less than twenty years, is still receiving large accessions, while beyond flowiag it the tide plains of immigration of Colorado is across the and climbing Nebraska its agentiferous moun¬ tains. free lands have been in great part absorbed, but it is daily wiil growing in number at a rate that soon place it side by side with its southern sister. And Dakota, where five years since the organized counties would number less than twenty settle¬ ments were few and far between, is now ihe home of 150,000 people and is aug¬ menting its population with great should rapidity. If the signs of the times double not fail, our territo.y will nearly its numerical strength during tbe present year, and civil zation will have penetrated its most remote corner.

Still there will be room lor millions more, and in the light of the past we can safely feel that the room will be occupied. A Warning to Belles. A young lady, one of Baltimore's society belles, living on Dolphin street, near Boltin, made a painful and terrible mistake, bhe was about retiring to rest, and had turned out the gas. She had been using glycerine for chapped lips, and, recollecting that she had neg¬ lected to use it, she went to the wall down pocket, what where she she kept it, and took the glycerine thought, bottle. in the dark, was It seems, however, there was a bottle of about the same size on the shelf containing nitric acid, which her mother had been using for some purpose, and it was this that the unfortunate young lady got hold of. She did not discover her mis¬ take until she had applied the dangerous fluid to her lips with a piece of flannel, and even then for a few minutes she at¬ tributed the burning sensation to the effect of the glycerine upon her chapped lips. In a very short time, however, the intense pain taught her that she had made some mistake, and she commenced to shriek loudly for assistance. Her mother running in, realized what was the matter, and, with wonderful pres¬ ence of mini, she snatched up a large sponge, filled it with water, and delug¬ ing the young lady’s mouth and face with it, at least stayed the progress of the acid. Medical aid was then sum¬ moned, and everything possible was done to alleviate her sufferings. The sad to disfigured. probability i< that her mouth will A Baby Born Beneath the Alps.

The workmen at the Airolo side of the tunuel are suffering more from smoke and heat than they w ere before the meeting of the galleries. lower Owing to the north outlet being at a level than the south, the atmos¬ pheric the pressure is greater there than at other end. Hence their is a con¬ stant current of air toward Airolo, which carries the smoke of the lamps and the foul air in that direction; but as yet is not sufficiently powerful to carry them out of the tunnel altogether. . _ Now to Train the Memory, Your memory is bad, perhaps, but 1 can tell you two secrets that will cure the worst memory.
