STRAWBERRIES. s How Every One Who Has a Garden Maj Be Supplied With the Delicious Fruit. Every one having a garden mav secure delicious fresh strawberries with very little trouble, if he so wills. One of the most successful growers for the market in this country is Mr. Parkei Earle, who writes as follows: Now to begin with the beginner at the begin ning of a strawberry plantation: First. ,take good land if 3-011 can get it; if no! take poor and enrich it if you can. Il ,you are planting for home use, bo sure you plant on some kind of laud; if you can't get good, take poor. You can and should grow strawberries for j our own table. If for commercial purposes, it is desirable that the conditions should be favorable. Select then the bt soil you can command such as would grSw potatoes or corn. Mow well in fall and spring: good common plowing will do. Don't fool away money in trenching or deep sub-soiling unless you like to. Mant in fall; not in spring or summer. In setting plants don't follow any aristocratic directions. Don't dig a hole, then make a mound in the hole, then spread the roots equally all around that mound and then sift in the earth through a sieve, as some good people say; 1 say don't do it that way unless vou greatly enjoy the fun of the thing. Tliat will do for a dozen plants, but it is too slow for large quantities, and a fast, easy way is just as good. Your ground being well prepared, plowed, harrowed and rolled, mark off carefully for rows. Your plants, being well trimmed, should be dipped in water and placed in a pail. An active boy should take the pail of plants and place them deftly in openings which you make with a ood spade. Thrust the spade in before you at an angle ox forty five degrees, the boy puts in the plants while you withdraw the spade and press the earth firmly over the roots of the plants with your foot. This is easy to do. and a man and boy can set four thousand or live thousand plants in a day in good shape. Cultivate carefully and thoroughly, but very shallow next to the plants. l)o this all summer, let no weeds grow Let as many runners grow as will make a narrow matted row, cut the balance; keep the middles clear. Mulch in the fall heavily be tween the rows, lightly over the plants. Don't disturb them in the spring. If you pick for market, pick everv day; pat no poor ones in the boxes. If you eat these berries you will be glad you planted them. If you st'll tht-m 1 hope 7011 will get well paid- I'ruiri. Farmer. DR. EDSON AND THE ROOSTER. An Amitsinjr Story of the President of the New York Health ltnarrf. An amusing storv is told of Dr. Cvms LMson, of the Health Board, which has as yet never appeared in print. It was durin" his service as an undergraduate, and before his father, ex-Mayor Ed-on. bad been raised to the chief oflice in the niunicipalit- that the episode re ferred to occurred. The family raided at the time at Fordhani Heights, atid to a certain extent enjoyed the advantages of rural living. That is. they would have enjoyed it had it not been for the, Iir'ule of the barnyard of a near neigh bor. This rooster had the ill manners and bad grace to disturb the matutinal slumbers of the Edson family every day. With the first streak of dawn he would hop down from his perch on an old soap-box and crow until the very hills reverberated the sound. Dr. Edson and other members of the family ex pended lung-power, old boots, soap dishes, and other pieces of portable bedroom furniture in their etlbrts to silence the feathered firnd until they were well-nigh exhausted. Then Mayor Edson tried to buy the precious bird, but the neighborly neighbor would not sell him. Finally the young disciple of ..Esculapius determine I that through him should the family find peace. Ac cordingly one morning he arose just before daybreak, and gliding cautiously down into his nerghbors back-yard, he succeeded, by the blandishments of voice and the liberal use f sweet corn, in getting h's hands on the rooster. This done the rest was easy. Taking his dissecting case from his pocket, he se-. lected u keen-edged scalpel and tweezers, and holdinjr the bird between his knees. sought the animal's throat. Taking up the vocal cords witu the tweezers, it was but the work of an instant to sever them and let the rooster ro. That da- and ever after the sleep of the Kelsons was undisturbed. Young Cyrus, however, lost more rest than formerly. He could not resist the temptation every morning thereafter of getting up and watching the disabled bird us it Hew from its perch to the top of the fence, and Happing its wings. tried to crow. For him it was better than a circus. .y. Y. Mail and Express. A COUNTRY DOCTOR. Pen. I'lcturo of a Self-Reliant and Self Sacriurins Old-Time Worker. He was an excellent specimen of the country doctor, self-reliant, self-sacrificing, working a great deal harder for his living than most of those who call themselves the laboring classes as if none but those whose hands were hard ened by the use of farming or mechani cal implements had any work to do. He had that sagacity without which learning is a men? incumbrance, and he had also a fair share of that learning without which sagacity is like a traveler with a good horsbut who can not read the directions on the guide-boards, lie was not a man to be tae:iin by names. He well knew that oftentimes very innocent-sounding words mean very grave disdrders; that all degrees of disease and disorder are frequently confounded under the same term: that "run down'' may stand for a fatigue of mind or body from which a week or a month of rest will completely re-tore the overworked patient, or an advanet d stage of mortal illness; that ' seedy" may s:gnify the morning's state of feeling, after an evening's over-indulgence, which calls for a giTiss of soda-water and a cup of coffee, or a dangerous malady which will pack off the subject of it, at the shortest notice, to the south of France. He knew too well that what is spoken lightly of as a 4 'nervous disturbance" may imply that the whole machinery of life is in a deranged condition, and that every individual a organ would groan aloud if it had any other language than the terrible inarticulate one of pain by which to communicate with the con sciousness Oliver Wendell Holmes, in Atlantic Monthlu.

The Texas Man Who Had the Best of Iteaaona for Doubting That a Person' Peculiarities Can Be Indicated by Either. "I tell you it's all humbug about an expert bJing able to tell all about a per son's character by his handwriting," said Raymond Smythc. I don't atee with you. The bold aian writes a b ld, reckless hand. Just look at the signature of the great Na poleon. It looks more like a Hash of lightning than a signature. Hie busi ness man writes a business hand. The close, stingy man can be detected in hU handwriting," replied Andrew Wells. That's what these experts all say. I gave the matter a practical test, and I am in a condition to .sav that it is a fraud." "How did you make the test? ' "For more - than six months I had been paying serious attention to Miss Birdie McGinnis, one of the belles of Austin. As far as I could judge, she was the right kind of a girl to make an excellent wife. She was as mild and as gentle as a lamb whenever I called on her. I wanted a meek sort of a woman for, a wife, for I like to have things my own way. She was, moreover, very in dustrious, which is a very desirable habit in a woman nowadays. She peemod to be very economical, which is another good thing to have in the fam ily." "You seem to have found a mo lei woman." "That is what I thought, but I had my doubts, for one day as I was rid ng past I saw her chase her grandmother through the yard with a broom-tick, but I thought th'y were only playing, although she hit tfie old lady some pretty solid whaeks.-"' "What did you do to verify your -us-picions?" 4 . "Well, just about that time I read in a New York papjr that Prof. Smith, on being furnished with a specimen of the handwriting of a person and six dollars in advance, would furnish a perfect analyses of the writer's character. 'I sent on the six dollars and one of Birdie's letters, and in a hoi t t'm re ceived an answer to the effect that the lady who wrote the lines was a female; that she was of a demure, quiet dispo sition, whose character. could be eas ly molded; that she was economi -al, and incapable of deceit. On the strength of this I dism'ssed my doubt. I pro posed, was accepted, and we were mar ried." "Your wife turned out just as von ex pected?" Smythe fixed a stony gaze on Weils, and then he yelled: "No, she didn't by a blamed sight. Shakespeare's shrew was a lamb com pared to her. She will fight a c oss-cut saw. She is the raot extravagant woman I ever saw. She has bank rupted me. And, as for deceit fuhies-, she beats the mischief. Everything is false about her, from her ha r down. That's how you can t el 1 all about a per son's character by handwriting." "Why don't yon put your foot down? Whv don't vou make hc-r behave her self V" "I did try it once. I'd rather go into a cage full of tigers. "No, sir; this" finding out all about a person by the handwriting is a humbug.

" He said 1 was a man of undoubted firmness a born ruler of men: that 1 had a will that would break, but not bend, and that 1 was brave even to rashness." "When did 3011 have your head ex anrned?"

An Observation Having Pathological Bear ings on the Subject. Instructive experiments on the rat at which a deaf breed of animals could be formed, might be made by breeding deaf cats, who are by no means h;cl)i- cient mousers, and who show no sign of discontent at their lot. I may men tion an observation of my own as having some possible pathological bearings. It was this: During a country walk I lunched at a roadside inn, where 1 saw a female cat with blue eyes, and aked and found that she was quite deaf, but was told that her kittens heard perfectly. The only one of them that had been kept was in the room, and she certainly noticed ray voice and other noises I made to attract her attention, just as readily as other kittens. Then it oc curred to ire to try her with the shrill notes of one of my little whistles, which I had in my pocketbook. She was absolutely deaf to the-e, and 1 doubt if she could have heard a note as shrill even as the chirp of a sparrow. Cats, as I have c-Newhere observed, are em inently sensitive to shrill rotes (-o that the deafness of this kitten was a note worthy proof that the imperfect stages of the form of hereditary deafness to which she was subject consisted in the degeneration of that part of the audi tory apparatus which is concerned in hearing shrill notes. I am told that no thorough anatomical investigation J: as yet been made into the-e matters, owing to insufliciency of subject-. It would therefore .veem that a breed of deaf cats might be very accept able to physiolo gists, and I have no doubt that such a breed might be easily established on any small and sparsely inhabited island from which every heal ing cat had been removed. Cats will not breed in strict confinement, and their roving habits at night make it impossible, under ordi nary circumstances, to ke -p their breed pure; but in small islands, under the Internal despotism of a popular land ord, this and many analogous experi ments in breeding varieties of small and hardy animals and plants, such, I mean, as would take care of themselves, migiit be carried out. I have often envied the facilities attorded to such projects by the geographical and social condition of the Scilly Islands. Francis Gallon, in Nature.

WHAT IS CATARRH T Cut arch is a xauco purulent discbarge roused by the presence anil development of the vegetable parasite amtX'ba in the internal lining membrane of the iioro. This parasite is only ilevelupcil under favorable circum stances, and these' are: Morbid state of the blood, as the blighted corpuscle of tulercle, Mie germ poison of syphi lis, mercury, toxieiuea, from the retention of the effete matter of the skin, suppressed perspiration, badly ven tilated sleeping apartments, and other poisons that are germinated In the blood. These poisous keep the internal lining membrane of the nose in a constant state of irri tatimi, ever ready for the deosit of the seeds f these germs, which spread up the nostrils and down the fauces or luick of throat, causing ulceration of the throat; up the eustachian tubes, causing deafness; bur rowing in tile vocal cords, causing hoarseness; usurping the proji-r structure of the bronchial tubes, eliding in pulmonary consumption and death. Many attempts have bwn made to discover a cure for this distressing disease by the use of iidialents and other ingenious devices, but none of these treatments can do a particle of good until the parasites are either destroyed or removed from the mucous tissue Some time since a well know n physician of forty years standing, after muck exierimentiig, succeeded in dis covering the uecessauy combination oi ingredients which never fails in absolutely and jieyiiiaiiently eradicating this horrible disease, whether standing for oue year or forty years.

La Correspofidencia (the Correspond ence) of Madrid, Spain, has the largest c'reulatiou of any paper published at the capital. Everybody reads it, and, from the universal ty of its perusal, it is facetiously called the "Spanish night cap," beeau-e no one is supposed to have gone to bed without having read it entirely through. And it must be read through, for it is the most ex traordinary hodgepodge and olla po drida ever printed as a newspaper. It is a new-paper rather than paper ol op'nlou. The staff consists of a dozen bright reporters and no editor. Tho reporters scour the capital and pick up every ite n of interest, Cabinet resigna tions, the accident to jour washer woman, the illness of the King, the latest earthquake news, the price ol eggs, the .opening of a new cafe, 'a Carlist rising in the North, the burg lary of a shop, an excursion party s adventures in the mountains, the latest club scandal, the running away of a horse, a convention cl wine merchants everything, in fact, that occurs and can be put in print This is La Correspondence. The re porters bring in their newsl keso many bees coming home honey-laden. They put their copy, written at the clubs, oi hastily penciled in memorandum books on the streets, into a black leather bag at the ollice. When the composing room runs out of copy to set, tho fore man goes to the black bag and helps himself to a handful of manu script. It is all set and all printed without any regard to order or typo graphical display. You read it be cause you know that m its crowded columns is everything of note occurring at the capital. You read every line, for, if you skip at all. the very bit of news you want may be the. one skipped. The circulation of'this paper is rated at 200. 0(X daily, and on occasion at 300,000.
