Aftex trait trace have hem plentea they Should be thoroughly and frecmently culti- vated. In short, the belie garclem should be werked in mucih, the someway as the farmer works his oorn or pole,toee when he de ekes an extra fine cop. The trees sbeuld be cultivated for fear or five years, when after this time the ground may be seeded in clover, but the small fruit muse be cul- tivated every season, early and late, and the ground kept entirely free from weed, if good crops are desired. While trees and bushes are mull, the ermine' between the rows may very profitably be occupied by summer crops of veeetables, as potatoes, cabbage, or ;meet corn, the only precaution to be remembered being to replace with fertilizer all which such crops may extract from the soil. The best plan of pruning trees is to remove a branch whenever it is seen to be out of place or to be crowding others. The earlier this is done the better, as it will produce less injury to the tree. There is probably not much difference as to the time when a regular pruning is given the orchard. Same prefer the +sena* to the autumn or whiter. Poedbly the early spring is the sititesf; time for this Work. Pear trees peed Very little pruning, and cherry trees do not endere severe pruneng. Slickers must be carefully removed from the apple trees. Peach trees may haye from one-third to one-half of each yeat's grovoth removed with profit every spring. Peach trees, like grape vines, stand a good deal of pruning and are benefited by it. Raspberri' es blackberries, gooseberriel and mamas all do best when thoroughly prun- ed. Stake e are unnecessary for may of these bushes if the young shoots are cut off when they reach the height of tete or three feet. Extra fine crops are to be ecured only through the use of the pruning knife. The soil in the fruit garden should be fairly good before the trees have been set. After - woad thestable manures should not be used In large quantities except on the berry bushes. Wood ashes, bone duet, and the seats of potassium will give the best results applied to grapes, apples, pears, peaches and plums. These plants are little beftefited by stable manure, as wood is produced at the expense of fruit. Many persons do notgrow fruit on their farms, thinking it is no longer possible to coutrol the ravages of insect poets. In this they are mistaken, for at present al - meet every form qf tweet may be quite perfectly controlled. The fruit trees should be examined every spring for the eggs of caterpillars, and then by seraping the earth away for a few inches around the trunk of each tree,search should be made for borers, If the ground is kept loose and free from weeds about the trunks of trees'and heaped up three or four inches at the base of each trunk, there is usually very little trouble from borers. The current worm is easily combated by dusting both the currant and gooseberry bushes with powdered hellebore. This substance destroys the worms com- pletely, and is not poisonous to human be- ings. For the cumuli° and the codlin moth the best treatment is to spray the trees just after the blossoms fall in spring, and two or three times subsequently during the growing season. In this way these pests can be kept in control. Some growers still practice tarring the ineects off the trees upon sheets spread upon the ground to re- ceive them.

A rivid er lite EaradaY ot interview With Mr Siemewa When the firet cable steeauer visited a Cenedian port, laying the eleetrio link that gave almost instantaneone oommunioation between the old world and the new, she wee the wonder of the age. The whole population floeked to see her, Deed the cable and the equipment for layieg it were sub- jects of intense interest. That was less than 30 years ago, At present the cable ship Faraday majestically rules in Halifax harbor, engaged in laying lox the Gommer, dal company the finest cable ever manufae- tured and with improvements aver the first cables almost as wonderful as was the first cable itself, and yet the arrival and presence of this magnificent vessel aud her mission is regarded 0,s ouch a common matter in Halifax as scarcely to excite oomment. The Faraday is mmananded by Capt. Lafaun, an Irishman with e French name, Etna manned by a crew of 180 men, On board are some of the most famous cable and electrioal ex'perts of the day, including Mr. Siemens, the WORLD-YANIED DIANUFA.CTIIRER of the commercial cables. After laying 143 miles of the Irish end of the esdile, the weather got so bad thea the cable was buoyed and the Faraday prooeeded on her voyage across the Atlantio to lay the Can- adian end. She experienced strong head Vinde all the way, but the voyage was very uneventful "We saw no sea serpents,' said Mr. Siemens to a reporter, "both Sydney and Cane° being blocked with ice, We came on to Halifax for coal. We ebs.11 fill our bunkers with 750 ton of coal, and then, as soon as the inc will enable us to get into Canso, we shall proceed there and begin laying the Canadian end of 600 miles to the Grand Beaks. This section is of an especially heevy type. The depth of the water between Cal2E10 and the end. of the 13anks runs fr?nn 30 to 300 fathtims, over a bottom. of greet hills and deep valleys, but this id shallow water °compared with the great depths in the 1,450 mile deep Sea sec- tion. All the cablea crossing the Grand tanks have suffered greatly from the fish- ing fleet at anchor there. When they pull up anchor they have often booked up a cable, and sometimes, rather than lose an anchor, they have The usual reason for delaying the plant- ing of a crop is because the season is loaok. ward, a matter which man cannot control, or because the land is wet, and is slow in getting into a sufficiently dry condition to plant. It is, of course,, possible that press of farm work, by trying to do more planting than one has facilities for doing well and quickly, causes some 4eces of ground to 130 left until the seasoaes far adeganced, but, whatever is the ceo4ait ,nikaisfeetly becomes necessary to make eaerything bend to the rapid growth of the °kepi:titer-it is planted. It is unfortunate that the vait) cause, wet, cold land, which operates to keep crops from being planted in good time, operates also to keep them from growing rapidly after they begin to germinate, Lor land that is wet and - heavy in the spring is not, without great effort, put in such order as to provide the moat perfect seedbed. The man who plants late must take special pains. The soil must not be touched until is is clay, for nothing is gained, but nincliie It, by attempting to work a wet soli; but when once the eon is in seeondition to work, it should be so thoroughly tilled a. ae to rhake the seedbed fine and light, for m this will assist germination, and will Jeb in the air and sunlight, to carry forward the chemical changes that provide the growing crepe with food. Teams should be kept off wet land, but surface drains can often be made that will hasten the process of drying, thus providing a temporary expedient against the time when the wet field can ,be tile -drained, when late planting will not be necessary. Thorough mechanical prepara- tion and care of the soil is needed in giving late -planted crops a start, and for the purpose of maintaining a siteady and rapid growth, but even where the land is fairly well dressed, it is advisable to make wie of some concentrated and quick.acting fertil- zer at the start, that the crops may be able to make up, to some extent, for lost time, that fun maturity may be had before the arrival of the early fall frosts, and for this purpose some reliable commercial fertilizer, poultry dressing, or 80Me specially well-preserved and well -rotted barn dressing, will be found most excellent. Coarse stable manure, as food for late - planted crops, is decisiedly inetatisfactery.

This, of course, was disastrous to the cable companies. The Commercial cora- palsy, however, owing to their wise and generous policy, have suffered less in this respect than there competitorainasmuch as when a fisherman hooks up their cable they are induced to let go the anchors, and are rewarded for so doing, instead cif cutting the cable. The new cable is so heavy that there is little danger of its being hauled up by fisheemen's anchors. The route across the Grand Banks will be about 200 miles north of the existing commercial cables. If the weather is favorable we shall lay the entire cable at the rate of about 10 miles an hour. As soon as we finish ,laying the - Canadian end we shall continue right across the Atlantic, take on board the deep sea section, steam to a point 143 miles off Waterville, where we bouyed the Irish shore end, splice the cable there, and mediately continue westward with the deep sea Pection until the connection is codipleted at ' the easterly edge of the Grand Banks. The time in which all this will be accomplished depends, of course, -upon the weather, but with ordinary weathereawithin the next three weeks, the Commercial third cable, the finest and most rapid in the world, will be in complete wording order, and be able to transmib 33 per cent. more business than any other cable under the wean. KABASEGA DEFEATED. A British Expedition Sent Against Dim ..t,Ender Maier wen.

India& under the command of Col.CnIville, Bent against the Kabarega, King-ofUnyoro, has completely defeated, the King's forces. In November last Kabarega attacked a chief at Lora, who Was a British ally. The chief applied to the 13ritish for aid, and a force of 200 Nubian soldiers, contrnanded by Major Owen, was sent to his assistance. This force met the force of Kabarega, and after a fight that lasted three hours, the letter fled, leaving at least 50 dead on the field. War Was then declared on Kabarega, and a force of 700 Nabia,ns aadi10,000 Way,ande natives Were sent again t him. 'Five thousend of the letter carried lire This force was too strong for Eaba- foga, and though he gave battle he was mated. The expedition has established a chain of forts from the Alberb Nyanza, on the banks of *which Kabarega's head -quar- ters was situated, to Uganda. It is ex- pected that the emcees of the expedition will prove a death blow to the slave trade of that region, and will bring Arabian in-, flueece to an end.

PULVERIZED PEARLS AS DRUGS. -- a Chinamen Outdo Cleopatra Much to the rrost or Englishmen in India. More is likely to be heard shortly of the mother-of-pearl industry at Mergui. A recent visitor to Mogul sawthree pearls which are described as perfect in size, shape and color. They were valued at £250 each. The good pearls are sent to London. and the inferior ones to China, where they are sold by the ounce, to be ground into pow- der and used as medicine. But the staple of the, new venture is mother-of-pearl, which is found in very considerable quanti- ties. This enterprise is being run by a few gentlemen who think they are entitled to some concessions frorri the government such as a facilities for prosecuting thieves and fishers breaking their contracts.

Great improvements bave been made in the constructions; sanitation, and general healthfulness of prison building% THE RIGIDITY OF ',Imola Disonmitca. has grown more and more relaxed. Pris- oners get better food than formerly, see their friends oftener, hear from the outer world ahnost as they please, and are allowed to receive books, newspapers, aoft bedding, and nice things' to eat, in practi- cal abundance. Numberless statutes have been enacted providing for the tender treatment of criminals, such as those ere- ating reformatories and houses of refuge for youthful offenders, providing a large commutation of sentence for good behavior, and so limiting the terms of confinement that pritoners are not discharged at an unfavorable period of the year. The pun- ishments suffered to be inflicted on refectory and mutinous prisoners have been decreased in number, and only those felt to he mild ones are allowed to be retained. Tales of prison abuse s are found to win popular credence easily and excite indignation, and the proprietors of sensational newspapers have long recognized as a standard article of trade, whose sale is ready and profitable at any season, ;mounts of the. horrors of homes, asylums, prisons, and other insti- tutions maintained by the publics funds. The cause of this is the general civilizing and humanizing character of our century, in which we all take a just pride. Yet there is a growing conviction on the part of intelligent people that society is getting 1�01ITOO TOLEBANT of offences against itself, and has divested Of a good deal of their proper terrors the influences which deter and correct evil- doers. The Anarchist with his torch and bomb has been fostered up to his present state because society has been slow to interfere with freedom of speech andaction. The murderous crank walks the streets with leering face and cocked pistol because a hair-splitting' definition of his sanity has been allowed by the law, and there is an extreme desire not to unduly trespass upon the liberty of the individual. When he kills some one a bevy of philanthropists rush forward to defend him. That there iS a reaction spinet the state of things is plain enough, and part and parcel of it is the protest of European sociologists, against an turther coddling and cosseting of the social outcasts who are inmates of our pen- al institutions. Criminals should not be regarded merely as unfortunate individuals to be pitied rather than punished, who have sinned by force of heredity or too strong temptation and hardly by their own fault at all ; but as wicked creatures who have deliberately assailed law and order, whose punishment should be made dreaded, and terrible ; men who are, for the most part, thoroughly desperate and hardened, lump - [tide of reformation, who oughtto be than that society has mercifully spared to them their wretched and, abandoned lives.
