with no sparing hand. The expendi-
ture of time ana money in "fixing up"
the place so as to render it beautiful is
often quite large, and if the-results ob-
tained are not the best possible they
lire after all very good, as taste and
skill In decoration are only obtained by
. careful study and practice.
Creditable as are the attempts of
farmers to beautify their places, it
must after all be acknowledged (bat
- tney could be directed in other way to
much better advantage. Trees are the
ubeapest as the most beautiful orna-
ments of country as well as of town
place*. The original cost of them is
generally very small, and they are self-
iustaining after they are once estab-
lished in their new positions. A large
sum is annually required to keep orna-
mental buddings, br djje.t, and fenoes
in repair. Paint wears off in a few
rears, wooden fences rot, and wooden
bddgMfall Eveu brick crnrables and
most kinds of stone disintegrate. A
well constructed walk calls for con-
itant care and labor to kcop it In good
condition. A road ditch requires at-
tention to prevont it from becoming
nnsightly. . But trees ordinarily re-
pair the injuries that are donu to them.
lTiey grow While other things deoay.
rheir beauty increases while that of
most objects diminishes. No proteo*
tion is required for their trunks and
brunches. Their foliage presents fresh
colors every spring far more beautiful
and varied tbau any painter can apply.
In most places it changes in the fall
to be in harmony with the other ob-
jects that comprise tlie landsoape.
rhat of evergreens does not change, as
it is one of which the eye never tires!
Dm beautiful green needles of the pine,
Sr, spruoe, ana hemlock stand out mid
the sunshino of June, the darkness of
December, and the gloom of March;
There is no occasion for changing the
perfection of beauty.
Deciduous trees gire a charm iu plao-
is even when their brandies are de-
nuded Of -foliage. Each variety has
lome distinctive characteristic which
heightens the beauty of others both by
so-operation and contrast The oak,
uh, hickory, aad walnut are always
grrand and statefv, while the olm. birch,
ind Willow are ¿¿ways graceful. Trees
form the most laaltng-ttliractlous of any
plaoe. They are the delight of child-
hood, the for of middle life, aud the
toláce of old age. The memory of
them is carried to distant lands, and it
la always a pleasant one. A tree is
beautiful in every stago of Its growth,
and it constantly grows in beauty from
&e time the seed-sprout appears above
ground till its branches aro stretched
aver rods of land. The most charming
places in city or country arc those that
tre beantifiod by trees. The roads on
which people most delight to ride are
those that are bordered by stately trees,

Poor Crop of Corn.
' The yield'of corn in moat of the
western states is not what it should be,
nor what it would be, if more care wm
aes towed on the crop. The average
yield per acre it about thirty-three
bushels, or one-third the amount that

make every exertion to secure a largo

.A. variety of causes combine to re-
duce the yield of ooifo'in the western
states far below -what it ahonid be.
There is too much machine work and

the seed and for oovering It, and a
ing cultivator performs all tha work
once done by the hoe in the handa of an
i^teJligont workman. That machiuea
areik great aid in doing field work ia
not to be queationed, but it ia certain
that tbey should not entirely supersede
band lab.jr. Not only every bill of
corn iu a field, but every stalk should
como under the observation of the culti-
vator more than once during the grow-
ing seasou. It is very hard to find
anything approaching a perfect row of
oorn or eveu a well-managed weatern
farm. Some hills will contain mojre-
stalks than can grow and producé
good corn, while others will not con-
ta n tho requisite number. Quite likely
there will be h Us in which there aro no
stalks, for the rcasou that the seed did
not germinate, or waa eaten by birds or
squirrel*. Sometimes the seed sprout-
ed, but the young stalk came iu eon-
taet with stonos or pieoes of turf and
their growth was stopped. No mao'iine
can be relied upon for planting corn in
inning sti"
for removing things that obstruct the
'missing" hills, for thil
stalks, or
growth of young and tender stalks.
Sufllcient care Is not taken iu obtain-
ing suitable Varieties to plant,or in pro-
curing that which Is reliable. Many
Who plant the seed jihev raise are at ho
pains to cure it property. They select
ears from the crib at planting time, and
never test the vitality of tne grains.
Quite likely the cobs and kernels were
full of moisture when they were thrown
into tho cribi If this was the case the
chances are that the water froze before
the com become dry and destroyed the
germs. The surface of the ears looked
well, but there was no vitality in many
of the graink The losses resulting
from planting varieties of corn not
suited to tho locality or seed not mature
or proj>erly cured are very large every
yoar. Every corn-raiscr should en-
duavor to obtain the variety best suited
to the climate and soil Where lie lives,
and he then should endeavor to im-
prove it by judicious selection of ears
and. kernels Ears intended for seed
should be selected while tho stnlks are
still stand ng in the field. They should
not remain exposed ■ to the rain and
frost till tho snow flies. They should
l>e traced up, hung 'in the snow under
an open shed, or placed in a warm, airy
chamber where they will bo kept dry
and out of the way of vermin. A hop-
curing Itftuse or a chamber used for
seasoning lumber is a good place for
drying seed corn.
Many western farmers entertain the
idea that several' successive crops of
corn can be raised without de-
creasing tho fertility of prairie soil and
they are only convinced of their error
when tho r Hi lda fail to make a fair re-
turn for the labor that is cxpondod on
them. Corn ranks among the grass-
feeders. and ts supply of food should
not be stinted. Land devoted to corn
should receive Nome plant food every
yeftF; If there is not suffioiept Stable
and bnrn-ynrd manure for the purpose,
clover and other grain crops should be
ra'sed and turned under. Cornstalks,
if out and buried by the plow, will aid
in keepliiir up the fertility of the so L
it is as easy to cut upa field of corn
that .yields seventy bushels per acre as
one that y elds but thirtv bushels, and
the labor of husking is scarcely greater,
as the ears are larger. The larger the

The Value of London Land.
It has been ascertained with regard
to tho Imperial Institute that tho s to
of about five acres recently secured for
tho now admiralty and war offices is
valued at £320,000, or rather oyer
£160.000 per acre; that qow vacant iu
Charles street, oppoüito the Ind a
office, is less than an acre, and would
cost at least £125,000; probably an-
other acre might be secured by private
contract, so that the value of a limited
site in this position would not be less
than £250,000.
It has been snggestod that a single
acre not far from Charing Cross might
be obtained for £224,000. Two and a
half arres on the Thames embankment
have been offered for £400,000, and it
is stated that six acres maybe pro-
cured from Christ's hospital at £600,-
000. Another good central position
has been auggostéd, consisting of two
and a hair acres, which haa been
valned at £668,000.
Even if a reduced prioe were aocept-
ed, no site in that direction ia to be had
for leas than a quarter of a m'ltion.
This explanaron ia offered for tailing

commiaaionen of the exhibition of

genious method of redwing danger to
* minimum In traversing unfriendly
parte' of Africa.
Before going for from Albert Nyanza
he ascertmned that there waa, no hope
of his getting through the territory of
tlw Wagamia and one or two other bos-
u a prisoner. Now and then an Arab
trading caravau started for"tho coast
hut the Araba woro afraid to appear to
befriend him, at they oould not afford
to inonr the ill will of the native kihgfl.
In thia emergency the novel idea oo-
surred to Dr. Jtiukor to sell hlmscif aa
á alaye to oue of the Arab traders, A
bargain was struck, and he ofltunaijbiy
became the property of the trader. Tho
contract stipulated that the Arab, for
the sum of 1,600 Austrian dollars, was
to deliver the traveler alive at Zani bar,
where upon the presentation of the con-
tract the money would be paid to him
by a firm doing business there. It hap-
pened that Dr. Junker had with him an
arder written in Amble by the firm, au-
thorizing iiim to make any desirable ar-
rangements with, the Arab traders of
Central Afriea.
So Dr. Junker set out with his Arab
saravan, which took him straight Into
the tlon'a den, or, iu other words, into
the chief toWn of M'wunga, the cruel
iespot Uganda. ' The chief trader rep-
resented that Junker was not his friend
Or traveling companion, but was his
•lave, whom ho had bought of a negro

Any ono who had seen a likeness of
Dr. 'Junker, taken since his return to
Egypt, can not fall to have been*stsftok
by the deep lines of care and anxiety
that the past seven years of llfo in s|V-
age wilds nave stamped upon lit* face,
Dr. Junker is a very exceptional man,
for lie has wealth, aud oould, if he
wished, lead a life of ease; but his de-
votion to science has lead him to deny
himself ull the pleasures of civilization,
and for years subject him<olf to re-
markable hardships and deprivations.—

SHUTTING UP THE PAST.
Tho I.a to Josh millings' First Experi-
ence ou the lectura lMutform.
The. late Josh Billings, says a writer
iu The Chicago Mail; told me onoe that
his first experionce on tho lecture plat-
form was tho making of him. "I liad
been writing a good deal," ho sa'd,
"and the stuff was pretty well receiv-
ed. At least I thought it was. I got
it prnlod and a good donl of it was
Caid for. I Imagined 1 was a little the
iggest man in New Vork. and certain-
ly the best-known "man outsido the city
except Greeloy. I had made a so rap-
book of my writings and concluded I
would give readings from these. I
made an engagement to give such a
reading at a small town in "New Jersey.
I carried my book with mo ami put up
at the one hotel in great style. Tho
landlord did not seem remarkably
overawed by my presenoe, which was
dampen i ne. I gave
thi
■omewhat dampening. I gavo him a
htlf-dozen tickets for tho locture.
When I came on tho platform there
were but seven persons in the hall, six
Of them bdng from tbe hotel, atid the
seventh a small boy who oame in free.
When I got back to the hotel I called
tho landlord Into my room aud had
him bring me all the old newspapers
he could find and a ball of cord. I
took out my book, wrapped a dozen or
io of newspapers around it, and then
began winding the cord. I wound that
entire balj about the bundle and tied
thé puds in .'ft double knot. ' ¿
'•The landlord had watched the pro-
Oeedings intently, and when 1 had fin-
ished my wrapping he inquired what
the proceedings meant 1 told him I
was going back to New York to go to
work, and I did not propose to onto
that book nntil I could do so in lila
town and before an audience that
would fill the hoitao. 1 went back to
the city," continued Mr. Shaw, "aud
struck out on a new lead. Two years
after I received an invitation to Iccture
in this same towq. | had been waiting
foy this. | took qut my old book and
took it along to see how things looked
When I came on the
platform I found
packed that the
his cane in tho
an audlenoe so ti¡
last man had to leave
vestibule for lack of room. I took out
my book and unwrapped it before
tbom, telling the story, as I did so. It
was this shutting up of the past and be-
Ífinning again that saved me—or at
east made me what I am."
An Insane Woman's Strength.
"One of the most striking things
about insanity is the wunderfal strength
pf the lunatics," s^id an e^-employe
pf t^e Buffqlq state insano asylum
while detailing his experience with thu
demented. Une day 1 was assisting to
carry a trnnk through ono of the wards
when a little woman pat ent laid hold
of my coat and expressed the intention
of putting me in tne trnuk. I tried to
pull away but her delicate hand held
on with an iron grip Force was the
only alternative of remaining there un-'
U1 some other whim took posession of
her, so we resorted to muscular per-
suasion. Would you believe that it
took three strong men and one woman
to make hér let go? We ppllod hej
sleqder fingers back one by ono, each
man clinging to a single linger, uhtll
finally the parting of the thumb and
first finger released the garment To
bend back a single finger was like
bending a heavy telegraph wire. It
appears as though a lunatic has tha
power of concentrating all his strength
in a single part of the body at" the ex-
pease of other portions In a manner
impossible to a rational person.
