The typical two -acre farm in that country contains a patch of wheat or rye and another of barley ; another fair portion grows potatoes.

On the Farm. 1O GROWING POTATOES IN DRILLS. mac All of the new varieties of potatoes that attain popularity grow their crops in compact. bunches that can be easily forked out by a single thrust of the flat -tined potato digger. Stich a vari- ety as the old-fashioned Peaehblow po- tato, whose roots spread so as to in- terlace with those of hills three Leet apart. and with more or less potatir s even in the middle of the sows, woaid not be grown by anybody now. \Ve can well American Cul- tivator, when 18 per acre was the usu- al price for digging Peachblow potatoes while the Early Rose potato, yielding as many bushels. would be dug for 15 per acre. And the man who got the , 18 per acre earned his money, even if he did miss some potatoes on the outer edges of the hill or between the rows. It was the necessity of confining the Peachblow to reasonable bounds that justified the practice of hilling up the potatoes so as to confine the tubers in- rs sown at the first favorable opportuli- tty in the spring. FEEDING POULTRY. Give in winter all the cut clover your hens w ill eat --arid they'll eat a deal of it—and make them scratch for the grain in big heaps of litter, and my word for it, you'll get eggs, says a writer, 1 ]lave been surprised to find how largely green grass niters into egg production. My Brabmas go out and graze much like a flook,of sheep, and come in w•itb crops distended, and that, too almost wholly with the green grass they have eaten. A very little grain in addition keeps abeam laying finely. Second -crop clover, or lawn olippingp, cured in a green state, as second crop hay can be cured, answers finely in winter as a substitute fox green grass. Run it through a cutter, twice if the cutter is of the size used for ordinary stock, soak over night, and let the fowls help themselves. Cabbage may be useful as a green food in winter, but to my mind it is not "in it" with clov- er in the production of eggs. ,With Bra.hmas, very little, if any, corn can be used, for the fowls will surely get fat and stop laying elf corn is used in winter.

But if the rows are made straight, and a potato coverer drawn by horses is used to cover them, a ridge is piled over the seed, doing the work much faster than it can be done by hand, and also better.

Tie a dry season it is claimed by the advocates of hill cul- tivation that the borrowings of the surface both ways help to preserve the moisture better. Where long droughts preveal we should prefer to plant po- tatoes in hills, rather than in drills. GROWING ONIONS. With a rich soil thoroughly prepar- d in a good tilth, with good seed sown good season and with thorough oui- ivation onions give a good yield and re usually a profitable crop to grow. They are gross feeders and on this .,count: it is usually difficult to get the oil too rich. The objections to using resh, coarse manure is the weed seed hat it usually contains. On this ac- ount where stable manure is used it ould be thoroughly rotted so that its an be thoroughly innorporated with e soil. Onions feed near the surface, so that the fertilizer sbotild be worked n'near the surface. A very good plan of management is to plow the ground deep in, thorough- , in good season, and then apply the manure or fertilizer on the surface and work it into the soil with a cultivator or harrow, and then the seed may he sown. Wood ashes are a good fertiliz- er for onions and can often be used. to B advantage as a top dressing, ap- plying just before or just after the seed 1H Spun).

Two well dressed men from Paris drove up to the best hotel in a coun- try town in the Department of the Eure recently, and engaged a double bedded room. They deposited a very heavy trunk in a corner, and then went to see the town, telling the landlady, a wid- ow, that they would return at night. But night came and the two men did not come back at the time specified. The landlady waited, much surprised, and kept her establishment open after the usual hour for closing. This was soon observed by the local gendarmes on duty, who entered the hotel, and re- minded the proprietess of the place that the curfew, or its modern substi- tute, had tolled the knell of departing day, and that it was full time to ex- tinguish lights in all inns and cafes. The widow said she was waiting for two men who had left a big trunk be- hind them. This caused the gendarmes to reflect a little. One of them well versed in criminal annals suddenly re- membered the Gouffe case. He also thought of the young stamp collector who was murdered in Paris a few years since, and whose body was thrust into a. trunk. Anxious to secure all the credit of a discovery which might lead to promotion and glory, the gendarme learned in dridninal lore asked the wid- ow to let hirm see the trunk, and told his companion to wait for him at the bar or buvette of the hotel. The land- lady accordingly led the man to the room, and he began to gauge the weight of the big box when suddenly the lid flew open and out jumped a wiry lit- tle anon wtbo brandished a Oig revolv- er in his right hand he 'widow derearmed, and the gendarme wag tem- porarily thrown off his guard., but he soon pulled himself together and grappled with the person who had been acting jack-in-the-box.

Manila, the capital of the Island of Luzon and of all the Philippine Islands is a city of about 100,000 population, not including the adjacent suburbs, which have a total population of about 60,000 additional. The name of the city is pronounced by the Spaniards as though It were spelled Mab -nee -la, with the an - cent on the middle syllable. It is the see of the Roman Catholic arcihbis- hop and one of the great emporiums of the east. It is located on the bay of the same name at the mouth of the River Pasig, latitu,de 14 degrees 36 minutes north, longitude 121 degrees east. The city proper forms the segment of a circle between the river and the sea, and its suburbs extend over nu- merous islets formed by the river and its branches. The Pasig is prolonged into the bay by two piers, terminating, the one in a small fort, the other in a ligihthouee., Vessels of some hun- dred tons may come up as far as the bridge. On -the south side stands the city, having a dilapidated look, but strongly fortified, On the north is situated the Biondo suburb, more popu- loaLs• than' the city itself. It is the refeidijnoe of the foreign, merchan is and'the great center of trade HAS ORIENTAL ASPECT. The aspect of the whole is at once Spanish and oriental.: Long lines of heavily- mounted batteries, somber churches, ungainly towers and massive houses of solid masonry mingle with, airy cottages in groves of tropical trees raised on posts to permit the free pas- sage of the waters in the rainy season and so constructed as by their elastic- ity to stand the shocks of an earth- quake. The streets • are straight, but for the most part unpaved, and during the, rains ,.e,tost impassable. In the cityl the houses are two stories high and each has its central court yard. Here reside the beads of the statethe church and army, and all who would he thought to belong to the aristocracy. A bridge leads across the river into the Biondo suburb, where a street, cal- led the Escolta, runs to the right and the left, lined with innumerable shops and stalls and crewdetl with a strange and motley population of various races Beyond the Esoolta a swarm of Chinese. Indians and half castes appear as gold- smiths and jewelers, painters and en- amelers, oil and soap merchants, oonfecltiobers and keepers of gambl- ing -houses and 000kshops. Other suburbs have each its special character. San Fernando is the seat of great cigar manufactories, and San- to Mesa of a cordage manuYactory.

It appears that it is quite possible for the heart to break, People who die of broken hearts, so called, do not ac- tually succumb from disruption of the structural arrangements. In this re- gard the phrase is a misnomer. Ih is generally applied to people who die owing to intense mental suffering, from blighted affections, or the loss of friends. Thackeray has said that no man ever dies of a "broken heart" in his love affairs, and it is very certain that in this respect the term has no actual meaning. The heart, however, does physically break, either from sud- den shock or from over -strain. A captain on a vessel, who had set out to marry a lady, on reaching his destination was abruptly informed that she was married, and the man fell to the ground and ea-pired. The heart was discovered to be literally rent into two pieces. Again an instance is on record of a lay, very strong and healthy, who, in attempting to raise a sheaf of corn, fell dead in the effort. In this instance the post-mortem disclosed a large rent in the heart. The sudden propulsion of blood upon the left ventricle, which is the hardest -worked portion of the heart, and where the rupture generally takes place, forces the tissues asunder. Coughs and colds need nli* be endured; they can be cured, and that quickly. Many mixtures are tem- porary in effect, but Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypophosphitcs .is a permanent remedy. - The oil feeds the blood and warms the body ; the hypophosphites tone up the nerves; the glycerine soothes the inflamed throat and lungs.
