The Death of Solomon.
There it a legend concerning the death of
Solomon alluded. to in the Koran and found
in the chronicle of Talaari, which is to the
following effect : Solomon employed the
genu in building the temple, but, perceiving
that his enol was night at band, prayed Gad
that his deaths might be concealed, from the
genii until thatwork was completed for Solo-
mon knew that if lie died and the genii'
know of his death they would leave off build-
ing. Therefore, he made himself a staff
1 mu a tree in the garden, and, leaning upon
this staff, with his head bowed in adoration,
he died in the temple. His soul was taken
so gently from him that the body remained
standing, so continuing for a whole year.
Those who saw him thoughthe was absorbed
in prayer, and they dared not approach him.
Still the genii worked night and day until
the temple was completed, thinking they
were watched in every detail by the master
whose eyes had many weeks before closed
in death. But during all this time little
white ants had been gnawing at the staff,
and when the temple was finished, a long
year after the death of Solomon, the stat -
crumbled under his weight and the body
fell to the ground. llahoment alludes to
this curious legend in the following (Koran,
Sura xxxiv) : "When he (God) had decreed
that Solmon should die, nothing discovered
death unto them (the genii) except the creep-
: ing things of the earth, wlrieli gnawed his
staff, and when his body fell down the genii
plainly perceived that if they had known
thatwhich is secret they would not have
ontinued in a vile punishment."

In the meantime, almost everybody else
had heard the news. Mabel's little house
could scarcely contain the costly presents
that poured into it from all quarters ; main-
ly, indeed, from Mr. Winthrop's friends,
who were personally unknown to her, but
valao until you have deigned to accept it."
The composition of this high-flown senti-
ment—not to be found in the most Complete
Letter-writer—gave him a deal of trouble,
and clid not please him after all. Mabel lanc-
ed her eye over it when received, without
paying it much attention : she could not, also from her own. Lady Moorcombe, for

make her his wife.
Martha Barr, though loath enough to lose
her darling, was almost out of her mind with
joy at the good news.. The intelligence that
the marriage was to take place immediately,

Seed .'otateos,
For our seed potatoes last fall, writes J.
II. Reed, to Ohio Fanner, we dug a pit five
feet deep, large enough to hold :seventy-five
bushels, and only filling to within two feet
of the surface of the ground.
As soon as thoroughly dry after digging,
we put them in the pit, filled and rounded
it up well with straw, covering with a few
inches of earth, being particular to leave it
so no water could got in from the .surface.
At the commencement of cold weather we
put an more straw and earth. Inwe place of
the tile for chimuoys we put in two com-
pact bundles of long straw. Wo loft them
in this shape till our ground was ready for
planting, tito last week in April, when we
opened, finding the potatoes as solid and
fresh as when put iu, not a decayed tuber
and scarcely an eye started. The field on
which the seed was planted adjoined the
ono where it was raised, with the pit be-
tween.
The amount of labor by hauling, neither
after ?liggmg nor before planting, was very
considerable, and we never had seed in as
good condition by managing in any other
way. We like our method of planting po-
tatoes, for the few acres we raise. Instead
of an expensive potato planter we took our
corn planter, removed the check -rower,
placed a section of stovepipe, pressed into
funnel shape, down through the corn box
so that the potatoes dropped into it will
fall in the proper place behind the planter
runner. A boy with a box of potatoes in
front of hint drops the pieces into this
funnel. A smart lad will manage both sides,
thuslanting two rows, but eve are usually
satisfied to put in one row at a time.
How Fax the Sound of Cannon May be
Heard.
The greatest distance ever recorded at
which the sound of cannon has been heard
was on the 4th December, 1832, when the
carrion of Antwerp were heard in the Erz-
egebirge mountains, at a distance of 370
miles. A Swedish physician stated that he
heard the guns fired at Stockholm, on the
occasion of the death of one of the Royal
Family of that country in 16S5, at the dis-
tance of thirty Swedish, or 180 English
miles. In 1809 the booming of the cannon
in Heligoland reached Hanover, a distance
of 157 miles ; in 1760 cannon filed at May-
ence were beard at Tiribeck, a village 148
miles off. The noise of the artillery at Wat-
erloo was heard at Creil, 115 miles from the
scene of the battle, and also at Dover ;
while the fire of the British on landing in
Egypt was distinctly heard 130 miles off on
the sea. The report of cannon travels such
great distances over land because the vibra-
tionis communicated to the soil. The great-
est height upwards in the atmosphere at
which the sound of cannon has been heard
was 20,000 feet, when Mr. Glaisher, at that
height over Birmingham, heard the firing of
the guns being proved there.
Canada's Cheese.
The Department of Agriculture at Ottawa
has been advised that Canadian cheese stood
in the front rank and received the highest
awards at the annual sh ow of the British ])airy
Farmers' Association. The 4'imes, speaking
on the subject, said For foreign and colonial
soft cheese and for a collection of dairy pro-
duce, Mr. Jabal Webb, of Kensington, took
the first prizes. Mr: Webb's stand was a
most attractive one. On it could be seen
not only the familiar cheddar (some weigh-
ing two cwt. each), the tasty Gruyere (up
to two and a half cwt. each cheese), the
well known Canadian (as handsome looking
as the big cheddars), Gorgonzola, double
Gloucester Wilts loaf ceese; Stiltons, etc.
Mr. Webb's handling ofCanadian cheese,
it may be stated, dates from the time of. the
Indian •and Colonial Exhibition, and he is
now one.. of the leading representatives of
Canadian dairy produce in the mo her
country.

Force of Habit.
Here is a pretty story, and it comes from
Alabama,: " A remarkable instance of the
effect of habit on a horse was witnessed in
this state recently. The owner, a merchant,
lives two miles in the country. For four
years, every day except Sunday, he rode the
same horse to his store in the morning,
hitched the animal to the same tree, and
rode him home at night. The horse is a
sorrel, with a white face, and is known as
Baldy. One day the owner was quite ill
and unable to come down to the store. His
horse was turned into a pasture early in the
morning, but when the hour at which
the owner usually started to the store
arrived, Baldy jumped the pasture fence
and walked up to the front gate. Ho stood
there several• minutes, evidently surprised
that he was not bridled and saddled. Then
ho turned and walked off a short distance
and came back to the gate. This time he
waited only a few moments, when, with a
low whinny, he turned and started to town.
When he reached the store he at once walk-
ed around to his accustomed hitching place,
where he remained until evening, when he
went home. Next day the owner was un-
able to conte to town,: but just to see what
the horse would do, Baldy was agaiilsturnedi
into the pasture. He again jumped the
fence, waited a few minutes at the gate, and
again walked into town and took his posi-
tion under the bitching tree."

Where is the Summer girl so fair
Who, charmed us in pique?
We do not see her anywhere
About the town to -day.
The beauteous maid in frills and lace—
Has she who so much cheered
The gazer with her lovely face
Entirely disappeared ?.
Oh, no she has nob left the town ;
She's with us still to -day,
But wears a heavier, darker gown
Than muslin or pique.
Her smile's as sweet, her cheek as bright
With beauty's rosy flame,

I medicinal merit, which it positively

2 It is most economical, being the

Proportion and Process Peculiar to

and by which all the medicinal value of
the various ingredients is secured.
4 It effects remarkable cures where
other medicines have utterly failed
to do any good whatever.
5 It is a modern medicine, originated
by experienced pharmacists, and
still carefully prepared under their per-
sonal supervision.
�It is clean, clear and beautiful in
• appearance, pleasant to take, and
always of equal strength.
It has proven itself to be positively
the best remedy for scrofula and all
blood disorders, and the best tonic for
that tired feeling, loss of appetite and
general debility.
p It is unequalled for curing dysp sia,
® sick headache, biliousness, caSi rh,
rheumatism and all diseases of tile kid-
neys and lifer.
It has a good name at home, there
being more of Hood's Sarsaparilla
sold in Lowell, Mass., where it is made,

.
honest, and thoroughly Uackedeilp
by the medicine itself.
