It is many years since, says an Aus- tralian paper, we first advocated the light harrowing of wheat crops when the plant was a few inches high. For a long time many farmers were scep- tical about the results, and some of them contended that the young wheat plant was too delicate for such appar- ently rough treatment. Several farm- ers, however, especially those in the southwestern portion of the colony, were determined to give the harrowing a trial, and after some years of ex- perience are now thoroughly convinced of the benefits arisi::o from the opera- tipn and are the strongest advocates of the principle. Many of the harrow- ed crops are said to have yielded sev- eral—from five to seven—bushels more grain per acre than the uncultivated areas did. This, of course, was in nor- mal seasons. Those farmers who may still have some doubts as to the benefits to be derived from harrowing the young wheat plant may easily test the matter for themselves by cultivating a few aures in any paddock and allow- ing the remainder of the crop to take care of itself.

I am fatted the least one voice in this kingdtipe is not afraid to tell me what it't of me." probably to be attributed the common belief waning farmers that old wheat and rye are better for seed than new. In the old grain the freezing of the winter and the subsequent thawing have made the seed nearly wholly free from moisture. Yet all these experi- ences are not absolutely `necessary. If the grain is thoroughly 'dried in the fall that it is grown it is not Only as fit, but more fit, for seed than; it is after being dried out by winter freezing, wherein its germinating powers are more apt to be injured than they are by being thoroughly dried out the previous fall. We have here- tofore advised the greatest care in drying seed frain for fall sowing. But it is far better, we believe, to thor- oughly dry the seed even by artificial Means. We have over and over again dried seed fgrain in fruit evaporators such as are used for drying apples, and always with the best results in a large proportion grown of the seed that was sown. We believe that it is best to dry. all grain used as seed ►,y the heat of fire. It may be by braid- ing tbe seed corn and hanging it be- side the chimney, so as to secure the heat of the kitchen fire. But however it is dried, the seed that has !fire iheat to dry it is sure. to produce the .most vigorous growth and the largest crop of grain. farms, to judge for himself whether. r•rowing the ' ahad benefited his crop /� the results had justified or not, or if e the outlay. The total expense of har- rowing one 'acre With another has been estimated at about 2s 6d per acre—not the price of a bushel of wheat. The best time to harrow the crop Is when the plant is from tee? to three inches high, and when the soil is dry on the surface and easy to work. The imme- diate effects of the operation will be to destroy any number of weeds, which, if allowed to grow, would not only rob the land of some of its fertility !but greatly hinder the development of the wheat plant, loosen the surface soil which will met as a mulch and prevent a too -rapid evaporation of moisture from the subsoil, and leave the land in a good condition to receive the full benefit of any passing shower. Of course the operation will destroy a few wheat plants, but this will be fully compensated for by the great vigor of those that are left, and the crop tillers much more readily when harrowed': On many'soile a second har- rowing has often proved of the greatest possible benefit to the crop .This opera- tion should be carried out about one month or six weeks after the first harrowing took place.

Fine -skinned, smooth Bartletts still seem to hold their own for the late summer and fall trade. The heavy yield of these trees, and the ready market which they find, make them a profit- able pear to grow, writes S. W. 'Cham- bers. Bartlette are not by any means the best pears for bonne use, for the common Seckel, Flemish Beauty and many dwarf varieties far surpass them in my estimation, but owing to the handsome appearance of the former fruits they will always command good prices. The buying public still judge of fruits largely from their outside appearance. The Bartletts are juicy and sweet, but one soon sickens of them if plenty are to be had. They ripen so rapidly, and then become so soft and squashy, that one must use haste in selling them. They should be pull- ed off the tree when quite green, and allowed to ripen in a dark room tolget the hest results. The old Flemish Beau- ties are bright, red-cheeked pears with a dark, greenish color, hut of late yeails they crack open and spoil in many sections, so that they are un- fit for market use. The flavor of these LONDON'S ROUGHS. One of the most illiant teenlep;iii. London society during the past ° seas., son was Lady Margaret Scott, the daughter of Lady Cadogan. Lfady Scott is a handsome woman, with dark hair and luminous brown eyes, a clear olive complexion, toweled with the glow of health and youth. She married Sir Samuel Scott, the rich English hanker. She was, however; enormously wealthy in her own right, since in the United Kingdom there are few fam- ilies possessing greater riches than the Cadogans. With beauty, birth and an enormous income it was hardly to be wondered at that this favorite of fortune should tame the leading posi- tion in royal society. The Princess of Wales is especially fond of Lady Scott, and her name almost in- variably appears in the list of those guests whom the princess may desire invited to the private houaes where royalty is to be entertained. Epidemic or Ruffianism to the streets or the British Metropolis. Despite the increasing public atten- tion which is being devoted to the prevalence of ruffianism in various parts of London, there appears to be no diminution in the cases of violence heard at the police courts. An excep- tional number of charges of this de- peription are daily brought before the magistrates, not only at Southwark and Lambeth,—which are apparently the principal districts affected — but also at other courts, such as the Guild- hall, which were previously free from "Hooliganitsea." The Horne Secretary, when question- ed in the House of Commons, adopted a strictly official view, although he ad- mitted the matter was one of some im- portance, and one, moreover, to which he was giving attention. At the same time Sir. M. White Ridley was not sa- tisfied that "such a condition of law- lossnesse%prevailed "that the existing force of police was unable to cope with it". This of course is perfectly true, but the statement is so obvious in its character that it will hardly remove the alarm of those citizens who aro peatered by organized ruffians. The trend of all opinions is that the mere imposition of a fine or the 'in- fliction of only a few days' imprison- ment is quite inadequate for offences of this description. To the credit of London magistrates be It said that they are already exercising to the ut- moat the powers which the law con- fers upon them. There were two or three.. instances on Monday .where a. renitence of two months' Imprisonment which is the maximum punishment for this particular offence, was passed up- on "larrikins," This penalty appears' The Worm's Triumph.—Old Grinders —See here, young man, bow do you account for the fact that you were .seven minutes late in getting to t.he office this morning:? Weary Employee —I don't account, for it at all I've just Succeeded in getting another job. • An English magazine relates an in- cideut in the life of the Princess of Wales which shows how accuracy and thoroughness were the means of avoid- ing a possible catastrophe. The prin- cess is an enthusiastic photographer, and with her daughter, the Princess Victoria, is in the habit of taking pic- tures of the scenery, people and ani- mals in and about Sandringham. The princess also develops and mounts her own photographs. Several months since while in the park, she took a snap -shot of the railroad -bridge at Wolferton while a freight train was passing, When the picture was printed she ob- served a slight curve in the bridge. She went to the place from which she had taken it and carefully inspected the structure. There was no such curve in it perceptible. "I held the camera at a wrong angle, no doubt," she said, and. waiting until another train cross- ed took another picture, developed and printed it. Again the depression ap- peared at the same point in the bridge. She carried the picture anxiously to the Prince of Wales, who sent for the superintendent of the railroad. On enquiry it was found that the engineer of the train had perceived a vibrat- ing motion when crossing the bridge. It was examined, found unsafe and con- demned. The persistence of the princess in seeking to make a perfect photo- graph and the intelligence that noted the alight deflection probably prevent- ed a catastrophe, and a possible loss of life to be totally inadequate. Before Mr. Dickinson, for example, at North Lon- don, one euffian who received such a ,sentence simply laughed at it. More- over, the case was one of exceptional brutality, as the fqllowing extract ;shows :— WOULD "OUT HIM." Two gentlemen came forward and gave evidence of the assault,- each one agreeing as to the exceptional viol- ence of the prisoner. They said that the prisoner appeared to take up some- body else's quarrel, and declaring that he would "out him," picked up the pro- secutor and threw him right over his head. The prosecutor fell on his back on the road with his head on the curb. He got up and tried to get away when• the prisoner hit him another violent blow on the head and knocked him down, the aide of his face corning in contact with the curb. One of the 'wit- nesses remonstrated, and said he thought the prosecutor had had suf- ficient, but the prisoner, replying, "I have not killed the — yet," made an- other rush for the prosecutor and again threw him on his head. The prisoner alleged that he was first attacked, but Mr. Dickinson said he had acted in th'e most brutal fash- ion, and would go to jail for two months' hard labor, which was all the law allowed, though he deserved six months. The prisoner left the dock laughing. In some instances the effect of the punishment which (be Magistrate im- poses is of an entirely different char- acter. Thatwas the case with a young ruffian named Penfold, who was charg- ed at Lambeth with assaulting a con- fectioner named Thompson ie East Dulwich. The circumstances were of the uusal kind. A gang of young roughs had pestered the shopkeeper, and when 'Thompson asked them to leave the prisoner struok him violently in the eye. Later in the day an ap- peal was made to Mr. Hopkins, who had passed a sentence of Iwo mont hs' ice rrisonment, to reconsider his de- eisWon on the ground of the prisoner's "respectability." The answer to this was prompt and emphatic. Mr. Hop- kins declined to make any alteration in the sentence, and remarked t.hnt this was one of those cases concerning whicb there was so much complaint .just now. pears is delicious, and beyond com- parison. They never sold well in the general market, and of late years the cracked surfaces have caused them to fall into great disfavor. Those who know them, however, would always prefer one to almost any other variety of pears, cracks and all in- cluded. The cause of this cracking open of the fruit must be due to the soil in some way, but the weather id partly responsible for their injury. In very wet seasons the cracking is a great deal worse than at other times. The Anjou come in later in the sea - sun, and owing to their tough skins are enable to stand inclement weather. They are very seldom knotty and cracked, and they sell pretty well in the average market. 'They are abun- dant producers, and should not be ne- glected in any orchard. The stings of insects cannot injure these pears as much as t he Bart let ts or Flemish Beau- ties for t heir skins are so tough and thick that the stings hardly pene- trate through to the meat of the fruits. Good fall and winter pears are always in demand, and owing to the small quantity grown the prices are generally high. They should he ready for market justat the elose of the season for summer fruit. This is generally when the grape supply is beginning to dwindle down. There is a demand for fruit then, and it can he supplied with the late fall pears; but if one watts too long the hot- house fruits come in and cause prices to deoline. Some of this fruit: can be kept for the holidays, hut only such pears as have fine, fair outside appear- ances. DRYING WHEAT FOR SEED.

At an entertainment Meld at a French court Beatrice, Countess of Savoy, and wife of Charles of Anjon, the brother of Louis 1X. of France, was removed from the superior range of seats occupied by her two younger sisters, the Queen of France and the Queen of England. Mortified by flee hu- miliation, she returned to her apart- ments and burst into tears. Upon learning the cause of her chagrin, and her saying that she would be willing to give her life to confine her tresses for one hour beneath a diadem. Char- les embraced her affectionately , and "S•e't e'etir'"'meet at 'rest; cotintess for before long I well make you a greater queen than either of your sis- ters." He defeated Manfred, the last of the Norman kings, and caused Con- radino, the greatgrandson of Emperor Frederick to be mercilessly slain, he himself and Beatrice witnessing the scene. Upon the death of his brother Charles became King of Naples, thus fulfilling the cherished desire of his wife for a diadem. FASCINATED SEA -FISH. The Prince of Monaco, describing his researches among the inhabitants of the deep sea, says that many sailers wrecked on the Atlantic who have per- ished of hunger might have saved themselves if they had,possessod sim- ple fishing apparatus and known how to use it.. Various kinds of sea -fish, according to the prince, are strangely fascinated by any foreign object, such as a log or a boat, floating above them. They will aeeampany such an object in large numbers for days at a time, occasionally being lured in this way entirely across the Ocean.

The exhibition was a great success. One of the moat interesting features of the Neuwield exposition was the number of groups contributed. The costumes of many countries were re- produced with painstaking exactness. Boyars and Bohemian peasants predo- minated. But " Carmen Sylva " did not forget that she was a queen in an- other kingdom than Roumania and therefore saw to it that the world of fancy was well represented by fairies, undinee, gnomes, sprites and others of imagination's elves. Among the royal contributions to the exposition were Welsh fishermen from the Empresa Frederick, Tcherkesses fn bejewelled costumes from the Czarina, Servian peasants from Queen Natha- lie, Italian peasants from Queen Mar- guerite, and the model of the interior of a Netherlands peasant's home, from Queen Wilhelmina. A doll represent- ing Charles XII., sent by the King of Sweden, was much admired. There were also twelve hundred groups of dolls reproducing the cos- tumes of all periods from the Jews in the time of Moses clear down to tbe modern wheelmen and wheelwomen. Many historical scenes were also re- presented. The flight of Henry II. was one of the subjects, and a reception given by Louis XIV. another. The pa- tricians of Nuremberg and the "grand dames" of Venice were to be seen am- ong the groups. From Paris an entire wagon load of dolls was sent to the exposition, and these were among the most admired. " Carmen Sylva " herself played the part of " cicerone" as well for the roy- al guests as for the poorer visitors. THE QUEEN'S DOLL EXPOSITION. Neuwield, a sleepy little village couched along the banks of the Rhine, has had greatness thrust upon it, for Neuwield has' had a doll show, and a royal one at that. Ordinarily, Neuwield basks in the re- flected glory of Coblontz, which is only a few miles away, but the sleepy lit - the village has at. last set up in busi- ness for itself, and beasts an event all its own. To properly understand, however,that Neuwield has never been utterly for- saken, it must be remembered that the house of Wied, boasting among its members Queen Elizabeth of Rou- mania, in literature "Carmen Sylva," has always maintained a sort of head- quarters at Neuwield in the shape of a great chateau to which the inhab- itants point with pardonable pride. The size of the chateau, the rows of trees, and the spreading lawns made the ancestral homestead. of the house of Wied an ideal location for a doll show. At least so thought Queen Eliz- abeth. So the Queen decided to ar- range the affair on a large scale and make the doll exposition, the culmin- ating event in a long series of fetes. Now, Queen Elizabeth was ssio situ- ated that any project she might have in mind was assured of royal support. Either allied to or a close friend of all the reigning houses of Europe, Queen Elizabeth certainly felt that she could count upon the most princely contribu- tions -to flier fete And not one failed her—neither the crowned heads of Europe nor the e Itidnegs are the seat or the starting point of many maladies, all of them serious, all more or less painful, and all of them tending, unless cured, to a fatal end.
