About Roses.
All roses llower more profusely if vig
orously pruned. It is best to cut tho
old wood with an unsparing hand, for
he hand-omest blossoms will spring
Horn fresh growth and young shoots
com the roots will bear the largest
cluster of buds. Hybrid perpetuals re
quire to be pruned as soon as their first
(lowers have faded so as to produce a
good display of buds and b!o-soms in
September. They have no claims to the
title “perpetual” as they never bloom
but twice iu the year and rarely that,
unless they are highly fertilized and
closely cut back when they have ceased
to bloom in early summer. They are
the most desirable of summer roses be
cause they have so luxuriant a growth
and possess the charms of brilliant col
orings and fragrance. Great advance
iias been made during the past few
years in their varieties, wluoh are now
numbered by hundreds in <he English
and French lloral catalogues, and our
own florists offer them in large numbers
and at very low prices. Ten cents will
often buy a nourishing young plant
which, in two or three years if properly
treated, will become a large bush.
“Gen. Jaequemont” is a perpetual
whose flowers are known to all lovers
of roses and are in much demand lor
winter bouquets. Among other desir
able varieties are “Anna Sloxieft,”
“Beauty of Waltham,” “Boule de
Nieze,” “Coupe d'Hibe,” “Edward
Morreu,” Jules Margottin,” “La-
France,” “Mabel Morrison,” “Mme.
Lacharme.” “Mme. Charles Wood,”
“Mar e Baumann,” “Baronne de Roths
child,” and “Reynold’s Hole.” The
last mentioned was named for the
famous English rosarian who cultivates
some of the finest roses in England and
takes the prizes at all tlie rose exhibi
tions in his vicinity, and it is a rose of
remarkable beauty. None of this class
of roses require protection during the
winter, but they will do better another
year if they are covered about the roots
with manure which can be dug into the
ground early in the spring. Large
bushes of roses should be lied up to
stakes made either of small pine-trees
or of wood painted green. Watering
with liquid manure will increase the
beauty of roses at this season. That
made from the horse stable or the hen
roost will be more fertilizing than any
other. Do not put it on too strong,
dse it will do more harm than good. It
is a good plan to iill a half-barrel one
quarter full with manure and add a
pound of copperas to it to keep the
worms away; till it up with water and
put it on the plants twice a week, tak
ing care not to touch the leaves. Make
the water thw color of weak coffee if
horse manure is used, the color of weak
tea if hen manure is preferred. Spring

Only One Life.
Too many farmers appear to be only
skirmishing around during the present
life without any of the real enjoyments
which this world offers to everyone who
will gather them. In the first place, if
he does not marry a good wife (and
there are a plenty of them running around
loose) the fatal mistake is made which
can never be remedied. If a man in
tends to be a farmer, and through that
channel of industry enjoy all of the
comforts and pleasures of life, he should
surround himself and family with as
many of Ihe conveniences of life as his
means and industry can command. He
should keep in mind that on his farm
and with his family is the best place for
contentment and happiness. And the
best wav to be happy is to make Ijjs
family happy and his home pleasant.
Every hour needlessly spent away from
the home of domestic happiness-is just
so much lost in the great sum of life’s
comforts. One life —one home—one
w jf e —one aim—and one end to all of
life’s struggles and hopes. Without
happiness ail work is a burthen, and
life a failure. — lowa State Register.

Traveling by Hand-Car.
For several days past railroad men
on the Buffalo division have been both
ering their heads over a strange charac
ter whom they have seen running a
hand-car all by himself, and behaving
in a singular manner. Monday night
train No. 12 was stopped to avoid run
ning over him. Other trains have come
close upon him within the past few
days before he got his “special” off the*
track. Yesterday Officer Mahar found
him near Dalton with his car. 11c was
brought to Hornellsville, and now oc
cupies a cell in the lockup, where lie
was interviewed by a Tim s reporter.
He is a young man apparently not over
twenty-five years of age, of medium
size, with black hair and eyes and dark
complexion. He said that his name
was Martin Kaslel, and that his home
was in Omaha, from which place he had
come on a first-class passenger-car.
Somewhere between Hunt’s and Daiton
he purchased his hand-car of a young
man, whose mother ratified the bargain.
On being asked what his plan was, he
replied that he thought that a nice way
to spend the summer would be to travel
around by himself on a hand-car. He
had intended to move gradually along
to New York, gathering curious stones
and weeds by the way, amhJiaving a
quiet, restful time all by himself# lie
said he had no idea of this trouble
when he started, and now he was will*
ing to trade his hand-car for some prop
erty in this town if he could. On being
asked if he did not know that it was dan
gerous to travel as he had been doing,
he replied that there was no danger at
all. “Why,” said he, “I never let a train
get within half a mile of me unless I hap
pen to meet one on a curve. Then I
just lift niy car off in two seconds. If I
had some chairs in here 1 would show
you how Ido it. lam safe if a train
gets within half a block of me before I
see it, and it is easy to get out of the
way if a train is two blocks off.” The
young man asked the reporter how soon
the examination would take place, sav -
ing: “I want to get out of this place
as soon as possible.” —Hornellsville (A r .
Y.) Times.
Superstition in Massachusetts.
There is a great deal of superstition
yet remaining in the most civilized
States of the world. One of the most
recent illustrations of this comes from
Massachusetts. At Fall River, about a
year ago a house belonging to an aged
blind woman was sold under a foreclos
ure of mortage, and the old woman
cursed the parties concerned in the sale
ami prayed that whoever took the house
might become blind. The purchaser,
another old lady, was deeply grieved by
her threats, and was never happy in the
house. Her health rapidly declined and
she took to her bed. For several weeks
before her death she was blind, and
some of her friends have thought that
the agitation caused by the old woman’s
curses worked upon her imagination and
finally caused her death. —Ex.

—The crop of Indian corn is one of
the most important and valuable iu the
United States. The crop of 1880 was
estimated at 1,717,000,000 bushels; the
wheat crop of the same year was esti
mated at 198,000,000 bushels. It must
be considered the staple crop of the
Western and Southwestern States. In
1880, Illinois produced 240.000.000
bushels, as against 60,000,000 bushels
of wheat. The acreage of corn in Kan
sas the same year was 2,995,070 acres,
and the product 108,701,927 bushels,
against an acreage of 1,520,659 acres of
winter wheat, with a product of 17,560,-

—lt is estimated that nearly 2,000,-
000,000 pounds of paper are produced
annually; one-half of which is used for
printing, a. sixth for writing and the
remainder is coarse paper for packing
and other purposes. The United States
alone produces yearly 2i>0,000 tons of
paper, averaging seventeen pounds per
head for its population. The English
man comes next with about twelve
pounds per head; the educated German
takes eight pounds; the Frenchman
seven pounds, whilst the Italian, Span

pounds, one-half pound and one pound
annually.— N. Y. Sun.

River salmon all go to England direct
from Victoria. Last season the Fraser
River sent 146,000 cases to Europe. It
is expected that as many more will be
canned there this season for the same
market. 'TheColumbia River sent 380,-

As Sensible as Most Duels.
Sheep’s-head, although hardly a flat
tering epithet or tenn of endearment,
is hot regarded between man and man
in this country as an insult of so deep a
dye that the stain indicted upon the
honor of a gentleman to whom this
compound noun may happen to be ad
dressed can only be washed out in blood.
That such, however, is the view taken
of its German equivalent, “Schafskopf,”
in the Fatherland is conclusively demon
strated by the following lamentable oc
currence: A few days ago, in the an
cient City of Oldenburg, one Herr Jan
sen, an elderly barrister, called upon an
acquaintance, the upper story of whose
dwelling was occupied by an infantry
Lieutenant named Fischer, the proprie
tor of a handsome pointer, upon which
he had sportively bestowed the name of
Scharfskopf. The dog was lying
stretched on the door-step as Jansen
came up to the door, and that very mo
ment the Lieutenant, thrusting his head
out of his second-floor window, shouted
at the top of his voice: “Sheep’s-head,
come up, will you?” Jansen took the
summons to himself, anu, instead of
entering the house, waited by the door
unt 1 Fischer made his appearance,
when, exclaiming: “ Sheep’s-head
yourself,” he lent the Lieutenant a
hearty box on the ear. Fischer, who
was in mufti, retorted with a walking
stick. and the result of this misunder
standing was a hostile meeting. Jansen
fired first, inflicting a slight flesh wound
upon his adversary, whereupon Fischer,
in no way rallied by his hurt, stretched
the too-hasty advocate dead upon the
ground with a bullet through his heart.

Odd Moments.
It is often the odd moments that are
the most valuable and offer the best
privileges for acquiring knowledge, or
doing some little act of charity. It was
Schliemann, whose books on Troy and
Mycen.e are much sought by the learned,
who said that he never went on his er
rands, oven in the rain, without having
his book in his hand and learning some
thing by heart, and he never waited at
the post-office without reading. Some
who read this may complain of their
odd moments being so few, and seem to
look upon half an hour as a trifling thing
to gain any knowledge; but it is these
odd moments and half hours that are so
valuable, and give such rare opportuni
ties for improving the mind and heart.
The odd moments of most men are, in
reality, the only time that they can call
their own. All the working hours are
occupied in making a living. These
belong to their employers, and the even
ings and an occasional rest-day are the
only times they have to secure intel
lectual wealth. But, rightly improved,
great things can be done in the odd mo
ments. — Baptist Weekly.
