V. Bx I "Ir- LOTUS IN AMERICA. An Oriental riant llronght HUher In Piw historic Time. Seeing how forcibly this wonderful flower of tho lotus Impressed itself upon tho minds of the ancient Egyptians and tho East generally, how prominently it figures in Eastern religions "all idols of Huddha are made to rest upon opened lotus flowers" it is safe to con clude that when familiar to all, even in this utilitarian age, it will not be mere ly ranked as ono of mnny flowering plants; it is of too commanding an ap pearance for this, nnd to literature will prove a boon. Asters, golden-rods and buttercups can havo a well-earned rest. Years ngo the cultivation of tho American species proved a failure, and those who are now best capable of judging still record the curious fact that tho native lotus is much more difllcult lo establish in our waters than the Eastern, and does not grow with quite tho saino luxuriance. Its intro duction by aborigines along our East ern sea-board hsis been mentioned; per haps it has lost vigor sinco it lost their enre, and h:is disappeared excepting where its environment was peculiarly favorable. And tho question nrises, after all, is it in tho strict senso a native? May it not, indeed, havo been brought hither in prehistoric times? Tho quoslion of a superlatively ancient communication between tho continents is a tempting subject for study, and how appropriate when rest ing in the shade of tho Eastern lotus! Such a train of thought need not stir up any ghost of a mythical lost At lantis. Still tho American form has certain markod peculiarities. Tho ma ture torus has a decided constriction somo distance from tho insertion of tho htem, wanting iu tho foroign species, and the seeds of tho former are globu lar instead of distinctly oval. Whatov er tho history of the American form, that of tho Eastern, or Egyptian, as it is usually called, is too well known to need repeating, however brielly, and yet tho plant is still wrapt in mystery. A word, however, concerning the term Egyptian in connection with it. At present it is a plant of India, of China and (Japan, Australia, tho Malay Archi pelago and tho Caspian sea an enor mous range; but it is no longer found in tho valley of tho Nile. Tho use of tho namo rests upon tho fact that it was there, not only a cultivated plant, but held sacred by tho peoplo of that coun try, as t, is by the Hindoos. Egyptolo gists, lion vcr, are not of one mind as to tho relation of tho lotus to tho an tiquities of the Nile region, some ques tioning tho matter altogether, and con sidering tho sculpturing to represent tho lily of tho Xile. ono of the grandest of tho whito nymphajas. Quite recent ly, too, it has been ably argued to bo tho renowned rose of Sharon. "Of such a kingly llowor Solomon might well have said, 'I am tho rose of Sharon.' " Dr. Charles C. Abbott, in Harper's Magazine. THE CROWN OF THORNS. A Popular lror Which lists llcen Sanc tioned liy Artists. I know tho masters of painting from (initio in his wonderful "Ecco Homo" down to tho present time have depicted tho crown that rested upon the head of our crucified Saviour as a twisted branch of bare thorns, and that is, so far as I k iow, universally accepted as the true crown. Some years ago an incident that oc curred in the Holy Land caused mo to think that tills popular belief may bo a mistake. A parly of us who weio jour neying toward .Jerusalem at this season of tho year, which is identical with tho passion and death of tho master, had stopped to rest and lunch just after en tering the hill country, some miles be yond Hemloh, when a lady of the party who was gathering tho beautiful Mow ers that covered the landscapo on all sides wreathed an exquisite spray, and holding it up exclaimed: "The crown of thorns!" Our party wore dolighted with tho wreath and upon examining it wo found that long sharp thorns were concealed by the lovoly (link llnwers. Wo were convinced that this was the truecrown, and as we advanced toward Jerusalem we saw that the whole country, oven to tho walls of tho city, was covered with this (lowering thorn. Tho plant and llowor nro very simi lar to what wo commonly call tho flow ering almond, with tho addition of tho thorn. Tho bloom is very thick, so that by merely entwining a branch a wreath 1 niado, whllo tho long, sharp thorns sot out at right angles about an inch apart mako It a very painful crown to wear upon the human brow. When wo romoinbor that the soldiers who dressed our Saviour with tho pur ple robe and crown did it as a mockery, it is reasonable to holiovo that thoy choso this plant, which was so accessi ble and would mako a beautiful appear ance, while at the same time wounding his holy brow. Many who havo visited Palcstlno at this season of the year havo doubtless had this siiggosted to thorn, yot I have never soon comntonts upon It in any book of travels. Letter in N. V.

Through a larger part of thacouatt! than tho advocates of th gnt W will admit, tho moans of ioiproitjk worn-out or Impoverished land ai On most practical questions in farming. It is almost certain that in largo por tions of Dakota, even .before it is ad mitted to Statehood, successive wheat cropping has seriously diminished tins yield. In Minnesota this failure of the soil occurred several years ago. and so suddenly that it is recognized as an era by farmers and other business men. Talking with a farmer recently from that State, ho remarked that it was a common thing to hear events dated from the year of the wheat failure. It was at the timo thought to bo a tem porary a Hair, the result of bad season, drought and insects, but experience ha shown that the diminution In tho wheat yield then experienced was duo to more serious causes, as it has continued ever since. This condition of affairs is not an unmixed evil. It makes impossible tho spendthrift extravagance of fertil ity which has marked Western farming and has put the Eastern farmers at so great a disadvantage. Tho greatly improved machinery for harvesting grain crops has not only onnbled West ern farmers to exhaust their farms more rapidly, but has also obliged farmers in the East to pursue tho same system, lxiss stock has been kept In localities where grain can be grown, and tho deficiency in barnyard manure has been made up by tho purchase of com mercial fertilizers, good in thomsolvos, but not furnishing a lasting manure for tho Improvement of tho soil. Tho un syninietrical character of much modorn farming is shown by tho smaller pro portion of land devoted to grass and hay. Tlieso do not glvo the immediate profit that grain crops do to average farmers, but thoy are bettor for tho per manence of tho business. If a farm is plowed overy year, and tho product sold at low prices, as it has been of late years, it is scarcely possible for tho farmer to avoid financial ruin. Tho fertility of his land, which is his capi tal, is boing exhausted, and when that is gone ho has no way to easily replace it. Tho best of all restoratives of fer tility is clover. The farmer who sows clover seed liberally can hardly make a mistake. On, tho great majority of farms the distance from market is so groat that clover hay does not pay at the comparatively low price it brings to draw away, if fed on the farm it makes a valuable manure, and at tho sumo time tho hay crop is growing the clover roots nro deepening tho soil for future crops. Tho fanner who grows clover largely can afford to try the commercial fertilizers, for the clo ver roots fas ton the mineral fortuity in the soil. Instead of allowing it to bo como inert and worthless. American Cultivator. i POULTRY ON FARMS. Systciiuitlo Kulm Summed U In Seven teen Itriof rai'anniln. In raising poultry or stock of any kind it should lie tho aim of every ono to keej) it healthy and improve it. You can do it very easily by adopting some systematic rules. Theso may bo sum med up in brief as follows: 1. Construct your houso good and warm so as to avoid damp floors and alToi-d a flood of sunshine, is better than medicine. "2. Provide a dusting and place where you can bury Sunshine scratching wheat and corn, and thus induco tho fowls to take the needful exorcise. U.

Civo plenty of fresh water dally, and never allow tho fowls to go thirsty. li. Eeed them systematically two or three tlmos a day; scatter tho food, so thoy can't eat it too fast or without proper exercise. Do not feed more than thoy will eat up claim, or thoy will got tired of that kind' of food. 7. (Jivo them a variety of both dry and cooked feed; a mixture of eoolced meat and vegetables is an excellent thing for their morning meal. 8. (Jivo soft feed in tho morning nnd the wholo grain at night, except a little wheat and cracked corn placed in tho scratching placos to givo them oxoreisu during tho day. 'J. Abovo all things keep tho houst clean and well ventilated. 10. Do not crowd too many into one house; if you do look out for disease. 11.
