 FACTS FOB^FARMERS. Prepare for Early Tegetables. Plants sufficient for the family garden can be easily raised, osaally of better quality than in a hot-bed, as generally managed, and they will interest the young people who always like to see things grow. Boxes for the purpose are made of half-inch stuff well nailed together. Their length should be suited to the width of the window, a foot wide, and the depth of three or four inches. In modern houtea window sills are rarely wide enough to hold euch a box, and it is well to suspend it by means of a wire at each end. Drive in a screw ntar the upper edge of the end of the box, and near the side farthest from the window, and a correspond- ing screw in the window casing. A piece of copper wire twisted nround the screw in the box, and its other end made fast to tuat ia the casing, will hold the box securely. Those who regularly use such boxes provide the soil fcr them the autumn before. The lack of such provision need not deter any from trying to raise plants in this nranntr. Earth from the woods is a most excellent material fcr filling the boxes. This collects in the hollow places, and can usually be gathered in a mild time, even in winter. If woods-earth is not to be had, take advant- age of a thaw, and scraping up some garden soil, place it in a heap in the cellar until it is dry enough to use. If at all heavy, it may be made porous by adding sand, or what is better, fiue moss. I'tccure some spha£;num or peat moss, such as nurserymen use for packing dry it thoroughly, and rub it through a coarse wire sieve. One part of this fiae sifted moss to four or five of soil makes an excellent material for seed boxes, and it will not become packed by the needed waterings. As a rule the seed should be sown in them about six wefks before the plants can be safely set out in the open ground. When the seedlings are large enough to handle, usually when they have made two rough leaves â€" those are the seed leaves â€" they will need transplanting into another box of similar soil, setting them an inch apart each way. Plants in the boxes n.ust have water as they need it, and on warm days they may be set outside in a sun- ny, sheltered place, bringing them in before the air becomes chilly. The vegetables usu- ally started in window boxes are early cab- bages, cauliflowers, lettuce and tosratoes in April egg-plants and peppers may be thus sown. Agrricultural Value of Sewage. 1 here is no one who will deny that it is a ere at pity that so many millions of dollars' worth of fertilizing rraterials are annually allowed to go to waste through the sewers of our towns and cities, and yet very few are ready to believe that this waste could be economically saved and applied to the land for raising food either for man or beast. If reports are true, the new town of Pall- man, near the city of Chicago, has solved this question in a most eatisfaccory manner. Pullman is built upon level land, where it would be impossible to secure perfect drain- age by natural flow. To overcome this diffi- culty, the drains were all carried to an arti- ficial well sunk deeply enough to receive all the sewage of the town. From this well the drainage water is pumped by steam power, through a large pipe which delivers it upon farm lands three miles away, where it is utilized for the production of ordinary farm crops. It is claimed that the arrangemtnt; proves highly satisfactory in every respect, and that the investment pays a good anaual interest. If tDe market gardeners around Boston are finding it profitable to erect costly apparatus for watering their ground with pure well water, pumped from the bowels of the earth, why might not the city and country make a gain at both ends by joining in erecting pumping apparatus for delivering the richer waters of the sewera upon or under the cul- tivated fields in the suburbs 1 It is believed now, that the true way to water gardens and fields is through the porous pipes, laid enough below the surface to be entirely out of the way of cultivation. This question of modem civilization how to get ria of its own wastes, is but just be- ginning to at* ract public attention. With our present light, it appears like a great question, but the time is rapidly coming when it must be met, and we doubt not it will be met successfully. The most that country people can do at present is, individ- ually, to take the best care possible of their own house drains and cesspools. The pro- blem is much more easily solved in the country than in the city or large town, â€" N, E Farmer, FARM OTES. Ashes and gypsum have proved very bentticial to potatoes in many sections. No excess of animal matter should be given to poultry, either in the shape of meat scraps or pressed cake. "Z Rye will grow at a low temperature and continue to grow later and start earlier than most other grains. One acre of ground in lawn and garden ia sufficient to maintain the family cow in any village or rural locality. Professor Cook says light Brahmas have proved even better layers in winter than his brown Leghorns their eggs are finer in quality, larger and of richer color. The Country GenVeman recommend ever- grefn boughs as being the best protection to the strawberry bsd in winter, saying they never smother or other wis 3 injure the plants. The want of pure and fresh water ac- counts in many instances for the lick of eggs during the winter season. Fowls require a constant supply nf water, and without it will not lay. One of the best methods, says M, H, de- Gasparin, of preventing the ravages of the phylloxera is to keep the soil of the vine yard continually moist, and in the south- east of France this is efifected by kee^ ing the vineyard submerged during tl a winter. For the comfort and well-being of the sitting hens they have ahonll have space in which to turn and flap their wings, and scratch and take all needed exercise, provid- ed the weather is favorable. Bat if cold, do not tempt them to remain too long from the nests. Says the Amenccm Cuitivator: In the winter, while the ground is covered with snow and the soil is frozen deeply, it is some- times cnrioua to note the eflfect of openings leading down to deep nnder-drains. The snow will be melted away by the warm air coming up from the unfrczen earth. Even in an uncovered drain three feet deep, a lit- tle straw or loose earth will general- ly protect the bottom from severe freez- ing. If you are going to set a new orchard next spring remember that it is an excellent way to prepare a p'ai of the orchard, showing the position of each tree, its variety, etc. If a tree dies it can be replaced by one of the same sort. Some fruit raisers keep a book in which they register the age and var- iety of every tree in their orcharJ, together with any items in regard to its grafting, prof'uctivenefs, treatment, etc., which were ti ftht to be deairable. Married to a Lunatic. Judge Phelps, at Baltimore, passed a de- cree declaring void a marriage celebrated January 24, 1883, between Helen A. North and Francis W. North. Tfie bill alleges that the husband at the time of the mar- riage was a lunatic and not competent to contract a marriage. It appears from the bill of complaint and evidence before the court that the couple were married without the knowledge of their fnends and only after three weeks' acquaintanc. Mrs, North was boarding at a Hotel where young North, who was travelling South for his health, stayed. They took a bridal trip to Cincinnati, where the bridegrooih began to act queerly, and thinking him unwell, Mrs, North 8uggeEte(^hat they proceed to Cleve- land, where his uncle was living, which was done. North suddenly became possessed of the idea that he was being pursued by some im- maginary foe who wanted to separate him from his wife and threatened that he would kill her rather than part with her. Toe uncle telegraphed to Mr. North, sr., who lives in Utica, N. Y., and he came at once to Cleveland with several ofiicials of the Middleton insane asylum, where his son had been imprisoned before, and forcibly carried him off. Mrs. North, attributing the supposed abduction to another cause, attempted to follow on the same train, but, according to her own statement, was rough- ly ejected therefrjm by Mr. Ncrth, sr., having a narrow escaped from being run over. Realising his condition she was com- pelled to abandon har effjrts and then sought to have the marriage declared void. Her husband's family are said to be wealthy, but decline to recognize her, as they con- sidered their son's marriage as the freak of a madman, I.ivliigr, J el Dead. In Germany, every man, from the lowest to the highest, is oblicjed to serve in tha army nominally tor twelve years. He must be in the standing army for seven years, from the close of his twentieth yeft.r until he is twenty-eight. Of these seven years three must be spent in active service, and the re- maining four in the army of reserve. After leaving the army of reserve he must form a part of the Landwehr, â€" or practically the militia. After his active employment in the army he cai engage in civil life. But if war breaks out, he is again called upon to resume his place in the ranks. The theory on which this law rests is that every citizen ought to aid in defending his country, and that to do this efficiently, he requires the training of a soldier, A young Prussian doctor, having served his time in the ranks, was placed among the ••reserves." He went to Paris, and in a few years built up there a lucrative practice. In the height of his prosperity Prussia engaged in war, and the doctor was summoned to return home and fill out his term of ser- vice. After much trouble he hired, for a large sum, a man to serve in his place. The sub- stitute was killed on the battle field. A few years after this event, the physician received another summons from his Govern- ment to return and engage in military ser- vice. He protested that as he had, in the person of his substitute, died once, the Gov- ernment had no more claim upon him tor additional service than it had upon any other dead person. The case Wits referred to high authorities, and after long and learned discussion it was decided that in the eyes of the law the phy- sician was dead. Was It a Boy or a (iirl.

" When I was at Constantinople," re- mark e I the Hon, G. J. Goshen, "I had a conversation with a Turkish pasha, who said that the female slaves were treated with ex- ceedingly great kindness in Turkish famil- ies, and that their morals were looked after much moie satisfactorily than those of fe- male servants in any European communities, I did not entirely agree with him. German papers record the discouragine fact for book collectors that the library of M. Korch, the former editor of the St, Petersburg Gazette, who recently died at Heidelberg, was sold by auction for the ridiculous sum of 2-5 roubles, although it consisted of about uOOO volumes. If most of the books were in K issian the melancholy fact might, in some degree at least, be ac- counted for. The late Abraham Hayward, the brilliant reviewer sui conversationalist, was, like Disraeli, of the Hebrew race, and brought up in a solicitor's office, He had the most bitter personal hatred of Disraeli, which was as intensely returned, and in the Morn- ing Chronicle, of which he was editor while it was the organ of the Peelite party, wrote articles against him of the moht virulent acerbity. *â-  For the last five or six yeari," observed a distinguished American architect, "I have been occupied almost exclusively with pub- lic buildings.

My temper in consequence has been comparatively sweet, for nothing is so trying to an artist's soul as to be subjected to the aesthetic whims of charming women who desire his professional services," Julia Hatcher, of Mamhull, near Salis- bury, England, has received a medal for her bravery in rescuing a boy who was being tossed and gored by a bull. The presenta- tion was publicly made by the rector of the parish, the Rev. K, K. Kennard, described aa " the well-known breeder of abort- horns."

The climate of tropical Africa is deadly to the white men. At four missions recently established in that country more than twenty white missionaries have died within the last five years, and almost every month news comes of severe illnesses but during the whole of that time the colored missionaries from this country have been able to live and work there.

Two ChUdren PerUh In the Flamesâ€" i Brave Fireman. Advices from Three Rivers, Que., convey the sad information of the death of two young children which occurred under the most distresainglcircumstances. Mrs, Chas, Carcn, living on the second and third fiats of a house situated on Notre Dame street, left her domicile for a few moments, recent- ly, locking in her two ycun^ chil.lren, Flora aged four and a half years, and Henri, aged two and a half. It is thought that immed- iately after their mother left, the children went to play with matches and set fire to the house, for she had been gone only a few moments when the cries of Fire fire were heard in the street. The poor mother rush- ed to her house, but she fainted going up stairr and had to be carried away. In the meantime, the fire was making rapid pro- gress inside and before the brigade arrived the poor little ones could be seen knocking on the window with their tiny fists. The firemen had arrived by this time and no time was lost in trying to effect an entrance into the burning building. After much difficulty, one of the men, Louis Hamel penetrated mto the house at the peril of his own Iffe and soon came out again carrying m hw a ms the dead body of the little boy who had alraady been suffocated and partly burned. All hopes as to the little giil had been giren up, when suddenly the crowd was terror stricken by the most appalling and piteous cries from the interior of the building, and Mr, Caron, the father of the children, appeared at one of the windows holding the luanimate body of his young daughter Flora, who also had been suffocat- ed and pardy burned. The poor exhausted father was helped down a ladder with his preoions burden, and the bodies of the un- fortunate httle victims were taken to the re^enoeof their grandmother, Mrs. Dauph- inais.
