The cherry is about the only fruit tree which can be recommended for shale in pasture along roadsides, as the hardy va rieties of cherries are not affect® 1 by t ie tramping of stock or passing of vehicles, which would prove injurious to most other fruit trees.

A spring of water is better than a well for farm use, b •eniiss it is always accessi ble, and wa'cr from it may be conveyed readily to other points. Then, if drain age suitably regulated will support con stant. flow, it establishes provision better than a well for watering farm animals. For erect growing trees the head should be formed at about three feet from the ground; but spreading trees should have th" hen I live feet high. A tree with a low head is less likely to bo broken down with tho wind, and the branches will then beable to keep off the scorching r'ys of tho sun from the trunks.

Place all tho polos at the same elevation. Potatoes do well on corn land that has been manured for tho corn crop. Good sod land can also be used. A deep mel low seed bed should bo secured by deep ploughing and thorough pulverizing. Manure and moisture are essentials. Old manure can be ploughed in.

A New Hampshire fanner has marked •ucccs.s with bln berries by transplanting them Iroin their native localities by cut ting sod* and setting iu sod ground.

Hough Sport. Every nation has its own peculiar games, which, to a certain extent, indi cate the ruling character or disposition of the people. A recent traveller in Ilussian Central Asia thus describes a game which he witnessed near tho frontiers of China: As we approached Yany-Kurgan, ws saw what looked in the distance like a company of Cossacks exercising, but on nearer approach, proved to be a hundred or more of natives playing their favorite game of Kok-Bari, or gray wolf. It was market day, and on such occasions, when horsemen congregate, a goat or a kid is good-naturedly seized upon, be longing to one who has had some piece of good fortune, and the animal is killed. The president of the game then takes his position, if possible, near some steep or elevated place, and hands the goat to a horseman, who dashes down the slope at the risk of breaking his neck, and is | immediately pursued by the field, each 'of whom tries to snatch away the goat before the man can bring it back to | the president. Men of various ages were on the : ground, and some had mounted their | boys before them to see the fun, which was in some respects not unlike a game 'of football. The race goes on till the i carcass is torn in pieces, whereupon it i “goes to pot,” and is boiled for a feast, i Then the company is ready to seize j another goat and commence ag.in. Severe I’niiisliment. In tho primitive jurisprudence of Rus sia ordeal by boiling water was enjoined in cases of minor importance, and in the eleventh century we find burning iron ordered “where the matter at stake amounted to more th in half a grivna of gold.” A curious survival of ordeal superstition still prevails to a very large extent in Southern Russia. When a theft is committed in a household the servants are summoned together, and a sorceress is sent for. Should no con fession be made by the guilty party, the sorceress rolls up as many little balls of bread as there are suspected persons present. She then takes one of these | balls and, addressing the nearest servant, uses this formula: ‘lf you have com mitted the theft, the ball will sink to the bottom of the vase; but if you are innocent, it will float on tho water.” The accuracy of this trial, however, is | seldom tested, as the guilty person in variably confesses before his turn ar rives to undergo the ordeal. Effect of Hot Drinks. By direct experiment on human sub jects, and the use of a tube for examin ing the contents of the stomach, at in tervals, Dr. V. E. Nyeshcl, of St. Peters burg, has ascertained that a healthy per son may drink three tumblerfuls of hot tea after a meal without perceptibly af fecting digestion, but that a greater quantity of hot drink retards the diges tive process. N® difference could be de tected between the rate of digestion of hot and cold food. On a plat of ground containing less than an acre, located in London and n nrly sure unded by high buildings, a garden continually raises mushrooms that are lold in Covent g>4.ien marked for $3,500. They are not protec.ed by glass, and the manure required to raise them is collected from the streets. RUBY MIXES. A District in Burmah Where the Gems are Found. i Vast Quantities of Precious Stones Un earthed by a Little Digging. The London Standard gives some in teresting information in an article com , menting on the announcement that the Indian Government has resolved to ex tract a revenue from the ruby mines of i Burmah. It says: For ages this district, situated about seventy miles northeast of Mandalay, and j extending over an area of 100 square miles, has been regarded with something ' almost approaching to veneration. No stranger has ever been permitted to ap proach the spots where the precious j stones are dug; and, except that they are obtained by sinking pits in the gem miferous soil, very little is known con cerning this portion of the kingdom. It is certain, however, that vast quantities of blue sapphires, red (or Oriental) rubies, purple amethysts, and yellow to pazes,beside' different varieties of chryso beryl and spinellc are found. Tee dis trict was looked upon at the special ap- ■ panage of the crown, and one of the most highly prized of King Theebaw’s titles was “Lord of the Rubies.” The g iverninent, however, did not work it. AH they did was to let out the mines to the peas ints of the province, who, after paying so much a month in the shape of rentage or license, were permitted to carry off all they could find, except when a stone discovered exceeded £lO in value. In that case, it was seized by the officials who superintended the washing of the gravels, and was supposed to be by them sent to the Royal Treas- j ury. Pr .ctically, this law’ gave the i King almost a monopoly of the mines; ' for a ruby w-hich is worth less than the ; sum named may be considered of trifling j importance. Actually, many of the best ' gems were embezeled by the “Wons” and other functionaries through whose hands they passed, while a considerable number of the stipulated value never catne under the eyes of the superinten dents. Naturally, xvhen either a sapphire I or a ruby believed to bo worth £lO i reached the surface the finder consider- I ed it more to his interest to break the ' stone into two and so be able to claim the fragments as his owm perquisite. In I this way many of the best stones were j ruined. Still, vast numbers did reach Mandalay. When the late King de sired to impress a visitor he permitted 1 him to thrust his arm into the great jars i of rubies and sapphires which stood about the royal apartments like bric-a brac in a London drawing room. In the treasury were some or priceless value; and when the fallen monarch and his consort left the country, they carried with them as their pri- vate property, some gems of rare worth. But during the interregnum many of these jars of rubies were looted. Prudence ha< as yet counselled their con i cealment; though no doubt in due time the jewellers in London, Paris, and Amsterdam will have the opportunity of estimating the amount of plunder which was last year snached from the palace of the “Lord of Rubies.” When the prim itive methods of the natives are superse . ded by others better fitted to turn over ■ large masses cf soil, the precious crystals will be discovered in greater numbers, and the owners of valuable rubies will begin to tremble for the value of their gems. Diamonds took a downward ten dency as soon as the South African dig gings began to yield plentifully, and oftee the market is flooded with the wash ings of the Burmese gravels the “hold ers” of rubies may find that it is no longer possible to make a “corner” in these glittering bits of corundum. The finest red (or Oriental rubies) have hither to come from the neighborhood of Syriam, in Pegu. In Ceylon great num- I bers are found in the alluvial deposits; but the original rock out of which they decomposed has not been searched. Were this done, there is little doubt that i many more, and much finer quality, , would be obtained. Rules for the Aged; When old age has really commenced, its march toward final decay is best de lay's! by attention to those rules of con- ■ servation by which life is sustained with the least friction and the least waste. The prime rules for this purpose are: To subsist ou light but nutritious diet, with milk as the substantial food, but varied according to the season. To take food in moderate quantity, four times in the day, including a light meal before going to bed. To clothe warmly but lightly, so as that the body may, in all seasons, main tain its equal temjierature. To keep the body in fair exercise, and the mind active and cheerful. To maintain an interest in what is going on in the world, and to take part in reasonable labors aid pleasures, as though old age were not present. To take plenty of sleep during sleep ing hours. To spend nine hours in bed 1 at the least, and to take care during cold weather that the temperature of the bed room is maintained at CO deg. Fahren heit. To avoid passion, excitement, luxury. —Bo»ton Budget. Fraud iu Oil Paiutiugs. The Brooklyn Kayie has interviewed an art publisher, who tells how cheap pictures are made. “A fine oil paint ing” ticketed at $1 was made in 1. minutes. The Eoje continues: “Are not many buyers defrauded by cheap pictures painted in the manner which you have described I” “Os course, the uninitiated are sometimes badly bled. I will tell you a good story, lot the truth of which I can vouch. Some years ago, while in business in Newark, N. J., there came into my store an elder ly gentleman, well dressed and bearing all the evidence* of prosperity. II" was a resident of Newark, he said, but was about to break up housekeeping and gc West. Among his household effects were many handsome paintings, worth on an average SSOO each. These he intended to sell at auction, and wanted me to send him half a dozen cheap oil paintings worth $lO each. 1 sent him the pictures, which he received with the others and sold the entire lot under the hammer. A day or two after the sale I saw my visitor, who said that he had sold his pictures, including also the ones which I had sent him. Imagine my surprise when he told me that the six pictures which I had sold him for $6 each had brought an average of $35 each. This incident only proves that place and circumstances alter the value of cheap oil paintings. The seller of the paintings was supposed to be a man of wealth; he was known to be a patron of high art, and his collection of paintings was known to be of the best. All these circum stances permitted the connoisseur to de fraud the public. Many oil paintings of merit by unknown artists can sometimes be purchased for a song. This is owing to tae fact that the artist is in poor cir cumstances and is compelled to sell the product of his brush to obtain bread.” Rules lor Correspondents.

He Wanted an Explanation. Rev. Dr. Brown was recently called upon to marry an out of-town couple at the Guild House. Iu the course of the Episcopal service the bridegroom is re quired to use the expression “plight my troth.” The husband expectant followed the good rector of St. Paul’s through the service without hesitation until those words were reached, when he sharply in quired : “What’s that?” Dr. Brown was somewhat nonplussed by the unexpected question, but, adapt ing himself to the exigency, explained that troth means fealty or fidelity. “Oh, well,” said the cautious candi date for congenial honors, “if that’s all, I plight my troth. The only kind of a trough I know anything about is the one we feed the pigs out of, and I thought maybe you meant to insinuate we are going to live in a hog pen.”-— Buffalo Courier.

Thursday morning Messrs. Jake and Tom AVatson, two brothers who live at Sweetwater, on the Jacksonville & St. Augustine railroad, went out to hunt deer, which are plentiful in the swamps around this new and grow’ng settlement. To better accomplish their purpose the brothers separated, Jake taking six dogs with him. Soon the deep musical baying of the hounds testified that they were on trail of something, which Mr. AVatson thought was deer and he started in eager pursuit. A T ery soon the continued barking oi the pack assured him that the animal was at bay, and judge his surprise when ’ on dashing through the thick under brush a gigantic bear was seen fighting with the dogs. It took but a second to bring his gun to his shoulder, and soon the animal was filled with a load of buck shot, but this only made bruin more fu rious, and he dashed toward Mr. AVatson with blood in his eye. A close and deadly encounter seemed in evitable, and Mr. Watson drew his long, keen hunting-knife, which he grasped with a nerve of iron, knowing that his only chance for escape was to plunge it up to the hilt into the heart of the desperate brute; but just as the bear was almost on him, as he felt the xvarm, panting breath on his cheek, one of his courageous dogs, seeing his master’s peril, threw himself on the bear, aud made a furious attack at the brute’s throat. As soon as bruin felt the fangs of the hound he closed the form of the dog in its pow erful arms and crushed the poor animal so that its back was broken. By this time Mr. AVatson had his gun ready again and a second shot brought down the monster, which weighed over 400 pounds. When the body was examined six bullet holes were found, and they were all in vulner able places, too. But the victory was a dear one to Mr. Watson as he sadly gazed at his faithful dog, which lay piteously moaning at the feet of the master he had saved. Tenderly was the animal carried home and eared for, but this morning the gallant, faithful animal expired, and now Mr.AVatson is inconsolable. — Ja tsoMille (Fla.) Herald.
