Never throw aside a variety of garden vegetable that yon know to be good until there is a dead cert ainty that yon have found something better. Branches of trees broken off by heavy loads of snow or by winds should be out back to the main branch aud the wound covered with paint or melted grafting wax. Engage the farm hands now for the year, and have steady employment for them. Do not let men be exposed in hard, eold rains, at the risk of a long sickness in the busiest time of the year. Clean the poultry house and sprinkle with ashes or plaster. If lice abound, apply kero- sene in small amounts to tb« percues, from which it will spread to the b-^ in effective quantities. Hanging batkets are best watered by plunging tbem in a pail or tub of water un- til the ball ef earth is well soaked. Allow the excess to drip, and when this ceases re- turn the basket to its place. Bemove the surface water from the tfdds by trenches before the ground is deeply thawed, and avoid wasteful washing of gul- lies. See that the outlets of all drans are clesr and working properly. Qdt All the seeds ready, and purchase any implements that will be needed later in the season.

A writer in the London Garden says he has discovered that grapevines in houses do better under rough rolled glats than under clear glass. The two most striking things he observed were the good quality of the fruit and especially its color, and the health of the foliage of the vines, which was less affected by red spiders than aay he had ever known beford. People Who Heyer Eat Bread. There we civilized nations a large propor- tiondi whose pea aitry eat little or no bread. Bakmr leaves of bread a?e unknown in many parts of South Austria and of Italy and throaghont the agricultural districts of Rou- mauia. In the viHsgos of tie Obersteier- mark, not very mifny mdes froui Vienna, bread is never 8e€n,lthe staple food of the people being sterz, a' kind of porridge male from ground beebh nuti, whicb is t»kAn at breakfast with fresh or curdled milk, at dinner with broth or with frind lard, ani with milk again for supper. This sterz is also known as heiden, and takes the pape of bread ont only in the Steiermark, bat in Carinthia and in many parts of the Tyrol. In the north of I aly the peasantry live chiefly on polenta, a porridge maJe of bod- ed maize. The polenta, lo^ever, is rot allowed tb granulate like Scotch porridge or like the Austrian sterz but is boUed mto a solid pudding, which is cut no and portion- ed out with a string. It is cat n cold ai of- ten as hot, and ai in every sense the Italian peasant's daily bread. The modem Ron- ban ans are held by many sohohttsto be de- scended from a Eomsn colony, m other words, to be the consini of the Itabaus; and, curiomly enough, a variation of the piien-:* called aamaliga is the national dish oi KiJ- mania. The m^mOiga is like; the^len" in tha*i it is made of boUed maize, but it is unlike the Uktter in one importsnt r.ispect, as the grains are no% aUowed to fettle into- a solid nis.. but are kept distinct, after the fashion of oatmoal porridge.

Such a sword wasthe ••.«Uohen«rie.' Thi. weapon W« JffS* vention of one of the extraordinary Swedish house of Kmiigsmark which produced the the Thirty Years' War, and after occupying a pretriy onspionoas place in Europe fo ' mere than a century, ended with the gentle- man who was mur lered for intrigu n^ with the wife of Gee rge I., and the Udy who wa^ the mother of Maurice of Saxony, and from whom George Sand descended. Probab x the mveitor of the oolichemarde was the Count Konigamark who fignres in our own Bute trials as fio murderer of Mr. Thynne. in the reign of Charles IL It was a trian- S" W'de, very thick near the handle, and suddeniyti^ring to a very'deUctte rap'er pomt. The oolichemarde is said to have be«i an admirable weapon to fence with, and to have fallen ont of use on account of its costliness and its supposed ugly look when sheathed. Judging from thedescrip- tions it is possible to find a better reason for its unpopularity. The delicacy for which it was famous must have been more apiparent than real, for it was gained by overweighing the "forte," that is the part of the blade near the handle, and therdore making it difficult to direct the point. Jacob's Well. The atate of Jacob's «7eU Is. doubtless, well knosm to the majority of our readers, even to those who have not- themselves visited the Holy Lwd. It^has again and sgain been described by the many snritors on Palestine, and all have mentioned their disapp}intment that instead of finding any aembfanoe to a well, or anything which could recall the interview of our I^rd with the women of Samaria, they have merely found a dark irregular hole amid a mass of ruins in a vaulted chamber beneath the sur- face of the ground. I have shaured this dis- appointment on many previous visits to Nablus, and again as, a fortnight ago, we stood beside the spot, it was with great regret that we were so utterly unable to picture before us the scene so graphically described by the Evangelist. We had clamb- f rjd down into the vault, and were vainly anempting to peer into the dark hole amid the heaps of stone and rubbish when we chanoeu to see a few feet from the opening of tnewell, a dark crack between the stonea. Fancying that possibly it might be anotiher openihg of the well, we removed some stones and earth, and scon were able to trace part of a carved aperture in a large slab of stone. Deeply interested at finding this, we cleared awaymorieearth and stones, andsOon distingnisl^ed the circular mouth o: the well, though it'was blocked by an immense mass of stone. Calling t} tvo men who were looking on, with considerabls labdr, we at lengtu managed to remove it, and the opening of the well was clear. It is impos- sibe to describe our feelings as we gazed dowiLthe open well, and sat on that ledge on wfiioh, doubtless the Saviour rented, and felt with our fingers the grooves in tae stones caueei by the ropes by which the pots were drawn up. .â€" ^^» â-  A Life's Bemance. How many, romances are olad in the homeliest and even most repulsive guises It is now discovered that a deaf and dumb knick-knack peddler, who for fourteen years attracted much attention on Lon- don Bridge, and who has just died in the poor-house, iras a Sims gentleman of for- tune and belonged to one of the best families in the republic. Just before his death he called one of the hospital attend- uits to him, confessad that his deafness and diumbuess had been feigned, and related his story. When a young man he was betroth- ed to a beautiful and accomplished girl. He had a violent tempar, and in a quarrel one day over a trifli, so wounded »he girl by the bitterness of his invective that she fell iU. Tne r«proachei of his friendf for his cruel condnct stung so that he became mel- ancholy from remorse and left home, fle t'eirs'olved to pnnish himself. He vowed to becomaa volontsry exile for twenty years, to earn his oim living, luve his for- tnne nntonohed, keep his relatives and triends iguorant ot his whereabouts, and go bareheaottd and barefooted in all weathers during the entire time and to listen to no one and to »paak to no human being during the last ten years of his taile. If he liveu tj complete his vow he meant to return home and use his fortune and the remainder of his days in making his betrothed happy, providhug ahe .were alive and unmamed, he rigidly kept his vow, but death cut short his progrMnme.

" I saved a bank trom bursting emoe my- self," remarked a seedy-looking old chap as he laid down a morning piper, which he had perused second-handed. "I admit I ain't very wealthy now, but years ago, before my troubles came on me, I \uA large interesto in msnufacturing and banking. I was President of the buk in our town where there was a little panic and people made a run. I went in to see how they were getting along, just as the excitement began, when I found they couldn't stand it until the close of banking hours. The director sranted to suspend, out I obj acted. I told him to leave it to me. Happened it sras piy-day at my shop. Hustled up there, put a flea in the engmeer's ear, an I in five minutes the enjna broks down. The men were glad to get a holiday, bas wanted their mon3y. I told 'em we didn't have the cu'r^noy ready, but would give 'em checks on the bank. My clerki made ont the checks in a hurry, end weren't over-particular about losing auy time figuring out odd cents. Well, my onn two hondred sni more men rushed f^r the buk and by tbe time tbe big depositors had heard of the run and had got round there wan a biglfns in fron" of 'em. It took three hours to pay off my men With currency from my rafe at the shop, which I carried in tha. bick door of the bank. la that three hoars we raised eniugh money to pay every dollar due our depositors, ani the bank was saved." â€" [Chicago Herald] " Train TcUk." m I â- â- * i â-  s Boman Boads In Englandi The four "great" Roman reals in Eng- land still run very much on t^o same Im^s as wera laid down by the conquer are, but it is a popular error to believe that they wera but four great roads. If we chose to put ourselves to some interesting -troable, we shall find that Englani an I Wales ar3 covered with a perfect netvcrk of Roman reads. The Watling street, tie Jiknield street, the Ermme street, and the Fosse Way were undoubtedly tie Imperal roads to which most of the oth.erd were.acoesso- ries but the unearned explorer is as- tonished to find Roman reals far away from any of the four, and of evident im- por anoe from the remains unearthed at different times en rr n'ar tiem. The famous Watling street is an instinoe of this. Most people know tba^ its regular course, which is still a broad, well used high road, is from Dover or Riohboroigb, through London, St. Albans, Towcester, Shrewsbury, snd Cheater t) Carnarvon, and they do not look for it anyvherj else. Yet the traveller hears it spoksm of at Chelmsford and Colchester he mettfcs with it running, through the ike Country he finds it almost in a straight line gom{ to Whitby, via Huddersfield and Yo k, anlhe is most of all aitonlshed to meet itcrMsing the Roman wall in Northumbe,-lanl on ite way to Sxitlani. The Fosse Way and the Icknield street do not present snob compli- rations in the way of branches, but the Erniina afreet pnzzlss him much in fie same way. A«^in. it is sometimes difficult for ^he explorer to e ay up n whst Raman road jk particnlv town stanls, n t from wane of evidence as to aiy road at) a'l. but Irom conflicting evidenoe. Thus, Winchester may stand upon any one of fie five R)man roads which converge upon it respectively from Silohester, Sausbnry, Santbampton, Parchest r, and Famham. A^in, fie modem high road does nA invanably stick close to that of Roman coiiBtmotin, which ocoasiemiUy dwindles into a mere count y lane, such as the Watlng straet between Dtrcford and Rochekt^r. ani the Ecmins ttreet between Caeshnnt snl Pack rid|;e^ while in other placfss it ditaip'^ars m1.o- gether. The solution of a I tnese difficil- tier, however, lends a z»t to a ta ik whicb need by no means be of a -iiry-as dutt nature. â- " The: Growtli «r the EngUsh LaBgaage.

A girl at work at Marshall Field's had bsen feeding a great dothine knife for ten year 4. Last week she watohed the knife ootne aown slowly upon her hand. Too late she woke up out of her stupor with one hand gone. Fvr a few seconds her mind had failed and she sat by her machine a temporary lunatic and hai watohed the knife approach her own hand. The man recently mnrdued on North Cark street of Ciioago saw the enemy come up with murder on bis face, sav him draw a revolver, and. instead rf making a light- ning spring at the man, he s ood bewildered and thus fell dead. H s reason left him in the second of his greateet need. O je of the distinguished professors in one of our colleges was te^aching near a canal. Walking alone one evening in summer he walked as deliberately into the canal as he had been wa^ktns along the path a second before. He was brought to his senses by the water and mud and the absurdity of the situation. He had on a new suit of clothes and a new siik hat, but, though the damage was thus great, he still laugbs over the ad- venture. Our mail- collectors fiod in the iron boxes along the streete all sorts of pspjrs and ar- ticles which hava been put m by some hand from whose motions the mind has become de- tached for a second. A glove, a p«ir of spectacles, a deed, a mortgage, a theatre t c let, goes in and on goet t le p irson holding on to t le regular letter which sboul 1 have been d p isited. This is caU )d abaent-mind- ednets. but this is a brief lunacy. A lunatic is a person whos 9 mind is tiabitually out of balance. How Wooden Pipes ani Made. The shoit day p;pa formerly used by smokers has of late years been to a great ex- tant supplanted by tbe wooden pipe, the manufacture of whijh is now an important industiy. Some information respecting these pipes is given in British Consul fnglis? trjide report on L^irborn, whence the ma- terial for making wooden pipes is now large- ly exported. Salectod roo^s of the heath are collected on the hills of the Maremma; where the planta grow luxuriantly and attain a great siza. When brought to the factory, the roots are cleared of earth, and aay decayed p^rts are oat away. They are then shaped into blocks 'of various dimen- sion« with a circular saw set in motion by a small st'am engine. Great dexarity is necassary at this stage in cutting the wood to the best advantage, and it is only after a long apprenticieship that a workmin is thoroughly efficient. The blocks are then placed in a vat and subjected to a gentle simmering for a space of twelvei hours. During this prooess they acquire the rich yellowish-brown hue for which the best pipes are noted, and are then in a condition to receive the fibal turning but this is doae elsewhere. The rough blocks ara packed in 8 icks contaiir'ni from forty to one hundred dozen each, and sent abroad, principally to Fruice (3t. Cloud), where they are finiihel inti the inous G. B D.,'or "p'pes de prnyers," known to smokers in Eogland and the United States under the name of "Briar* wood" pipe s. An Agreeable Boyal Pair. King Humbert is quite nervous in man- ner, and takes off l^s hat as though doubtful whether .to toss it to the crord, tiirow it on the floor of the oarriag) or keep it on his head. I think the last would sut him best. He smiles, of course: that he must do, but such a smile It is the mere • turning up of the comers of the mouth, and seems to say " Confound the mob I I'm tirad, if I am a king, and shall not break my neck nodding." The queen is simplicity itself. Her manners, however, approach nearer my idea ot queen- liness than I ever expected to find. I see her often. She is always simply dressed, generally in bhMik silk or satin, with seal- akia sacque and ^ealakia broad-rimmed hat. She makea no display of jewelleiy. So far aa dress goes, she is jost like every other woman in oomfortable circumstauces. In- deed she makea no effort to be diffarent. Her mannsr says plafady: "Circumstances have made me a Queen, but, after all, I am em'y a womanâ€" no worse nor better than you." ,.A A Noiva S.:otia paper stys: Halifax is exoitea oyer toe praeeace in that oicy of a ' real" Mormoo.
