t l u. . f R G. The-Largest Crab in the World. When the naturalists of California;- «have completed their collection of sharks g and sea serpents, British Columbia hasl a curiosity to present'i'or inspection that they will find lully as‘ worthy of their scientific attention. The specimen, 0r specimens, for there are twc.of them, are still alive, andâ€"although not yet inured to the chill of northern latitudes --at'e enjoying a fair measure of good health. “ It " is a giant member of the crab. family, dark green in colour and measuring upwards of four fee; in diameter. the largest crab that ever .crosscd a torrid sand or climbed a cocoa- nut tree, and rejoicing in a variety of names, of which “ the robber crab" is the most familiar, and ligcs latro the scientific. Strange to say, neither the specimens secured nor any of their kind have ever been known to enter the water. They belong to the purely land or tree~climbing l'amily.â€"San Francisco Examiner. - The Value 0 Intelligence. It is the market that takes the wind out of aconceited butter maker. It is the market that cuts the sand from under the feet ol the ignorant dairyman. What is queer about human nature is that no man full of blind conceit or ignorance ever for a moment believes himself conceited or ignorant. No mat- ter how much he fails to make a profit on his labor, somebody else is always to blame. If his cows are poor and ill conditioned it is sure to be hollow horn or something else. Tell him it is hollow belly, for which he alone is to blame, and he will not believe you. Let one of his neighbors strive to make an intell- igent dairyman of himself, the ignorant man will sneer at and ridicule him for spending so much money on books and papers. If the intelligent man's butter brings 30 cents and his only 20, he will tell you with all the sincerity in the world that “ it is‘ all luck.” Advise him to read and post up as the other man did andvsee ifit will help the price .of his butter, and he will tell you that he “ doesn’t believe in that kind of farm- ing." Dairymen who refuse to become intelligent make the most costly butter in the world. The butter that is sold the cheapest in the market almost in- variably cost the most. 0-0â€"â€" Mixed Grain Crops. From time to time we are advised to sow mixed crops, but for some reason 1h: advice falls flat, probably because of unequal time of maturing :nd the desire of farmers to have their several crops distinct and serviceable alone. The Ontario Government's Experiment station at Guelph has carried on trials with mixed grains for the past two years with very great success; from the many mixtures made these are selected as illustrations: Barley, wheat and oats gave seed when mixed 2122 pounds and single but 1310 pounds, and of straw as 2.19 tons is to 1.73 tons. Even barley and cats gave as 2316 is to 152] pounds and 2.05 is to 1.70 tons. This is im- portant and deserves attention as one of the values of using the principle involved in romtion. The report says of this ~ trial: “ The results show that in eight cases out of eleven the mixed crop gave a larger yield of grain per acre than the same crops when grown separately. In regard to straw, the mixtures gave the largest yield in every instance. The greatest yield of grain per acre was from barley and oats sown in combina- tion ; the sc00nd highest yield was from barley, oats llld wheat sown together; and the third higheSt was from barley, oats and pens sold as a mixture. Peas, wheat and oats sown together gave the greatest weight of straw per acre, and the average of the wheat and barley grown separately the least weight of straw per acre. These results are worthy of careful study, and it might be mentioned that the results of 1891 were quite similar to those of 1893. the mixed grains producing the greatest yield in every instance." Avoidable Expenses. It costs money to neglect repairing the fences while the ground is soft. It ecsts money to have a poor fence around pastures, for the cattle to break through. i It costs money to allow the manure to lie under the caves, and fertilize the roadsi-le or nearest stream. . It costs money, in the extra feed re- quired, to keep cattle and horses to gether loose in the same yard. It costs money to let the cows become poor during the winter, and take all summer to recover condition. It costs money to let the manure lie in piles all winter. when labor is cheap and work scarce. and draw it out in spring. when labor is high and work abundant. l The sweet potato is supposed to be an American plant, but is now culti- voted all over the world.

"Fare about the same on all oi them. I presume?" “ About the saline." - “ And there isn't much different‘e as to time ?" s H 0le a slight difference. sir." “You are, no doubt. quite u;ell at“ l quainted with the various lines ?" con- tiuued the strunaer. “ Why, yes. sir." ‘ ‘“ I supposed you would be. but am glad to kuow’thatyou really are. What =1 desire‘to know most of all is which line stands highestin public estimation as a moral railroad ?" “ Iâ€"I don’t understand you, sir.” stammered the ofiicer. “ Then I will explain. I am a re- spectafble, law-abiding citizen. I llOl‘I‘l‘ attend a circus, boxing match, deg fight- or horse race. I neVer'read novels or play cards. I. do not drink. smoke, chew nor swear. Now and then I have to patroniza an immoral railroad; but never when I can help it. The question »- is, which is moral 7?” “I know that the superintendent of _ one of them swears, for he d--d my eyes not a month ago." “ He did, eh -? ' I don’t want that line." ' " And the conductor onanothcr plays poker.” “ Then strike oil that line." “ And a brakeman on another took his whole family to the circus last sum- mer.” “ That's another line rubbed out." “ And on the only OlllI'l'," continued the officer, “ one of the firemen cm s a fighting dog which has licked everything in the state ofMichigan." “ I seeâ€"not a moral road among: the whole lot," replied the stranger. “ What is the distance from here to Chicago by the highway '2” . “ About 300 miles. sir." _“ Very Wellâ€"thank youâ€"I will walk. I trust you will not allow the brazen immorality of the railroads to affect your own demeanor. Doors swing out? Ah--I seeâ€"good-day." 0‘.- She Bosses All. There is a new Terror in town. It goeth forth like a lion, seeking- whom it may run down. It is more to be dreaded than a car of Juggernaut, because it. can speed around the square while Juggernaut is turning the corner. It is more terrible than an army with banners; you. than an army of nurses with baby buggies. ' It isâ€"what need to sayâ€"the Woman on the Bicycle. Pedestrians have some slight protec- tinu against the Man on the Bicycle when he goes on the rampage. They can scurry out into the gutter and kick mud at him. They can scramble upon the fence and hurl hard hunks of Ian- guage-at him. They can subsidize a teamster and sick a coal cart' on him. They can lug around baseball-bnt-walk- inc-canes and knock him out on the fly now and then. They can even Carry their guns at half-cock and bring him down on the wing, if quick enough on the trigger. But the, Woman on a Bicycle is another thing altogether. Tin,- publie has long since recognized the fact that it is at the mercy of the Woman on a Pavement, especially if she walk dou- ble or triple file, and more especially if she carry an umbrella. l’nt her on a bicycle and she is simply Devastation on Wheels. With face set as grimly as Fate's. with eyes as unsecing as the Sphinx’s. with pedals as relentless as the jaws which clamp her tolu. she swoops down the street, and when she docs let the beasts hunt their holes. the l'owls their roosts. and men and children hurry to the second stories, if second stories he in reach. ‘0 A Revised Version. â€"â€"â€"_.. It happened in Sunday school. The subject under discussion was Solomon and his wisdom. A little girl was asked to tell the story of Solomon and the women who disputed the possession of a child. She timidly rose 'up and an- swercd: “ Solomon was a very wise man. One day two women went to him quarreling about a baby. One woman said, ‘ This is my child,’ and the other woman said, ‘ No, this is my child.’ But Solomon spoke up and said. 'Nn, no. ladies; do not quarrel.
