Biorrr-Ka are generally ascribed to Scotland, where they hnve been in use for a long time, but it was an Instru ment upon which the ancient Greeks and Komuns played. Accokhino to the Hartford Times, Mike Nolan, tho author of "Annie Rooney," received 114,0(10 from the copy right of that song, and "1 Whistled and Waited for Kate" brought J10.000 more. Ehik SmoNi, music teacher of the princess of Wales and czarina of Russia, while yet they were unmarried and liv ing in Heiiniark, has just died at the r-go of sixty-four. He was the son of an talian tenor, but was educated at jeipsie. "Tonic artists" are rare even among vell-known performer, so that J'ade ewslti's ability to distinguish "each leparalo set of vibrations that goes to nuke up that variable quality we call tone" is, perhaps, the most marvelous attribute of his genius. "It is a puz.lu to me," writes Ruben stein in his recently published reminis cences, "that music, of nil the creations of the mind of man, the noblest, most beautiful, most refined, and spiritual, is so uuuttainablc by woman, who is a compound of all these qualities." EXPOSITION PICKINGS. Denmark has made u world's fair ap propriation of HIT, 000. More thnn ISO exhibitors are chroni cled from I'hiladclpliin alone. Tub world's fair appropriations by foreign countries, as fur as reported, ag gregate more thun $4,500,000. T UK Sill; Association of America and the Silk Industry association have de cided to combine in making the finest possible exhioit of silk goods and prod ucts. , A ouorai. building, HIO by M0 feet, and costing 1100,000, will be erected near Horticultural hull. It will be de voted to musical uttmctioua, chioily large choruses. Ir is reported that a number of In dians from the Peruvian forests and a large collection of native Peruvian puiutings will be included iu the exhibit which Peru will make. Tu primal principle of economy in steam engine practice is simply to use the steam as hot and as dry as possible, and after it has done its work to get it out of the way as quickly as possible. This is tho simplest way of expressing it Sout experiments iu connection with the artificial production of clouds by burning cases of resinous matter were lately made in Paris, but were only par tially successful on account of tho wind carrying the clouds away as soon as formed. EN ORNAMENTAL POULTRY HOUSE Varying lii Design from the Usual Mn.lel and Surmounted by a Pigeon Cote. The ornamental poultry lioune illtirv. truted in the accompanying cut from Btoddurd's Poultry Architecture is tu shape polygonal, and may be built with lix, eight or more sides, according to the taste of the builder and the require A POLYGONAL POULTRY HOUSR. tnents of whatever group of buildings it is to be associated with. The greater the number of sides the more roomy will lie the interior. The roof is made of shingles, which if a little extra pains lie taken in laying can be made sufficiently water tight, and is topped with a pigeon house which is quite an ornamental feature If pigeons are not kept the floor may be left open, thus ventilating the fowl house below more completely. But ventilation is pretty well provided for hi' Vt.t starlike openings in the alternate siA:i, which are fitted with shutters fo' vijie in cold weather. Increase of Hfles by Dividing. On the subject of increase by dividing Root tells us in Gleanings iu Bee Cul ture, for the benefit of amateurs, that there is much danger in spreading brood Many times we have cold nights and days, even after we think the weather is settled for warm. The result is the brood is killed and the colony is set back. A a general thing it is best for beginners to let nature take its own course. He says: We prefer to divide in this way: Put tho queen, one-third of the brood and two-thirds of the bees on the new stand A large part of the bees, not used to the new stand, will return to the old one The consequence will be that each stand will have alxmt an equal division of bees. The new stand will have one- tliird the brood, but it has the queen, and therefore the power to go right on with brood rearing, while the old stand with two-thirds of the brood, will have to wait until they can raise a queen therefore they ought to have the more brood. We tried this plan of dividing last season and it worked very nicely As a general thing we secured about an equal division of the bees, and both col onies would increase to about the same strength, both having equal advantage in the first place as near as we can make it. The Clover Seed Crop. John M. Stahl sayB, in The Country Gentleman: If the first crop of clover be cut early, the second crop or seed crop will bo heavier and better. 1 cannot understand the prejudice that many farmers have against the clover seed crop. I And it one of the most profitable crops 1 van grow. In nine years out of ten clover seed brings a good price in the spring One is much more certain of getting a good price for, it than he is for corn, wheat, oats, hay or farm animals. The demand appears always to be fully equal to the supply, 1 have always found the local demand fully equal to the local supply, giving a good market at home. The cost of the clover seed crop is comparatively small. Thrashing it is not so very disagreeable when the work is rightly managed. It does not exhaust the land so much as other crops of equal valne, but of conrse land from which much is taken must be well manured, whether the land is in grass or culti vated crops. Though it is not desired to cut a Beed crop, if the crop for hay is cut early the aftermath for pasture or fertilizing will be heavier than if the cutting is delayed. The increased after math will compensate for any loss in the real value of the hay crop. Silos and Sllttgc. Each season's experience, while add ing to our practical knowledge of how to make the best silage, also adds to the general appreciation of ita inestimable value to the dairyman. As a conse quence each year a large additional number of silos are built. More were built last year than during any pre ceding year, and more will be built this year than last year. The most impor taut lesson gathered from experience concerning silos is that when bnilt of wood the wood needs to he well protect ed from the moisture of the silage by one or more thick coats of paint. Just what kind of paint is best has not been agreed upon. But it is manifest that as the silo has come to be one of the essentials of every well equipped stock farm, it is true economy to make it out of the best material and iu the lest manner known. No reasonable expense should In spared in making it. Jersey Bulletin. fiiernila Oil. There are hundreds of moist places on this Coast near the ocean exactly suited to the peppermint plant both m soil and climate. Nothing could be better, even made to order. The mints have found many such places without any help and they flourish wonderfully. Mint cul ture is very simple. The land is cleared and put in condition by summer fallow ing or growing any garden crop on it one season, cultivating thoroughly so as to kill out any perennial grasses or weeds. Then to be safe ia this climate plant root cuttings of the peppermint quite thickly in rows about twenty inches apart. Cultivate well the first season. The next season it may be cut same as hay, allowed to wilt and placed in cocks. Then put it iu steam tight vats with water heated by steam coils or fire. The steam from tho boiliug mint is carried through a coil or worm Immersed in odd water. Then the oil is collected from the sorfa.ee of the water at the end of the worm. The oil brings a good price anil it is a good pay ing business. A COWBOY'S PRAYER. fhe Effect of Mut.ier'a Inflnenoa tjpo an Oregon Itancliman, Writing in the Princess of a mother, who, though "no angel," was "a dear er beinr, all dint in an?el instincts, breathing paradise," Tennyson ex claims: Happv he With suh amotwi fa't I worn in'tlna Beats wila Ills blouJ, una trust in all thing Comes easy to him, and though he trip and ' 11, Be shall not bind his soul with cloy. The poet's thought is illustrated by a little story told by Rev. Joshua Cooke in an article on the mule-deer, contributed to The Big Game of North America. "The clergyman's oldest son, a ranchman In Oregon, stands six feel and an inch in his stockings, and is a powerful man, a good shot, a fine hunt er, warm-hearted ana generous, one day a fellow ranchman came to hii cabin and said: " 'Mr. Cooke, my old mother is dead. She was a Christian woman, and 1 don't want to put her in the ground like the cattle we bury. There isn't I minister within thirty miles. Youl father is a minister; you have taught in our Sabbath school. Would you come and say a word over my mother? "It was a new experience; the big boy thought a moment, and then said: " 'Whitehead, I never did anything oi the kind, but if it was' my mother and I have one whom I worship I shoulc feel as you do. Your mother shan't be buried like a dog. I'll come.' "Afterward he wrote to his father: " 'I recalled the words I had so ofter heard you pronounce over the dead. All alone I read a passage of Scripture, sang a verse of a hymn, said a short prayer, said "the dust to the dust,' and all was over. It was a tight place, father; all the men and womer of the valley were there, but I though! of mother, and it carried me through.' "A rough young ranchman said t this son one day: 'Bates, we notice that you will take part with us in oui sports up. to a certain point, and ther you stop. We wonder why.' " 'Jerry,' he answered, 'when I left nome I made up my mind to go nowhere nd take part in nothing that woulc iisplease my mother.' " DEVOTED TO SPIDERS. A. Lifetime Spent in Collecting and Study ing the insects. "One of -the curious things of this life," remarked an ex-congressman tc a Pittsburgh Dispatch man, "is the de votion of some men to an idea without regard to the opinion of the rest of tht world and without hope of reward. J know of a man from my state who has devoted a lifetime to spiders. He diet in tho Alps, where he had been for twe years collecting specimens of spiders lie sacrificed his life, to spiders. lie has left a collection of some twenty eight thousand distinct varieties. Yot would hardly think there were manj more spiders in existence. This mar, had them stuck up in sections, iii classes, fully labelled. "He began fooling with spiders when a boy. lie had a room that he woulc allow no one to sweep or clean, and en couraged the spiders to such an extent that they would come to him and fcec out of his hand. He discovered that by repeatedly destroying a web c spider reached a stage where his powei of reproducing web is exhausted. When that stage was reached the spider at taclte.l another spider, killed him, and took his ball web from him. Just like a human being, don't you see? Before this man died he embalmed 1ns knowl edge of spiders in two volumes, lie was a spider crank." A MEXICAN LEGEND. Indiana Who Believe in a Wonderful In land City. "During1 the frequent visits I have made to Mexico,'' said a mining" engi neer of I'll iludolph in to nn Inquirer man, 'I have come in contact with many of the Indians resident there and have heard some very singular stories. One, which all the Indians unite in tell ing, Is that far in the interior exists an fsnormous city, never yet. visited by white men. It is described as peopled by a race similar to the ancient Aztecs, who are sun worshipers and offer human sacrifices to their diety. "Tho race is said to be in a high state of civilization, and the Indians say that ' the city is full of huge structures which are miracles of quaint but beautiful architecture, and are situated on broad, paved streets, far surpassing those of the City of Mexico. "One Indian, I recollect, assured me that he had seen the city and its inh ab lauts with his own eyes, but had been afraid of !e.ing captured and bad fled. Of course, I did not believe him. but, all the same, it is not a little strange that the accounts of the Mexican lu dians relative to the mysterious and mairnificeut interior city agree per fectly.
