A German biologist says that the two sides of the face are never alike. In many cases the eyes are out of line, sometimes one eye is stronger than the other, and the right ear is often higher than the left. ‘ A young woman who had never learnt ‘the gentle art of cooxery, being desirous of impressing her husband with her knowledge and_ diligence. managed to have Kuuwzcufiv use“ u..-b----- her kitchen door agar on th; day after their return from their bridal trip, and, just as her lord came in from his office, exclaimed loudly, “Hurry up, Eliza, do !

It is also stat- ed that oneoquarter of the people on the earth die before the age of 5, one-half be- fore the age of 16, and only one person of eadh 100 born lives to the age of 65. The deaths on the earth are calculated at 67 per minute, 96,480 per day, and 35,215,- 200 per year; the births at 70 per minute 100,800 per day, and 36,792,000 per year. Enemies of early rising will be glad to hear the opinion of a German doctor, who has been collecting information about the habits of long-lived persons, and finds that the majority of long-livers indulged in late hours.

Indeed he con- siders that getting up early tends to ex- haust the physical power and to shorten life. while the so-called invigorating early hours are, he thinks, apt to produce lassi- tude, and are positixely dangerous to l some constitutions. The average yield per acre of the wheat crop in Great Britain in 1891 appears to have reached 31.26 Imperial gallons. Gather the eggs daily. Wash any that may be dirty before putting upon market. Till washed keep them from the clean ones. A cauliflower can be grown in the same space and with the same amount of manure required to grow a. cabbage, and even in much lighter soil. Any plan by which a pasture is tea on evenly is a good one, whether it be by movable fences, or by a mixture of animals or one kind following anotherâ€"as sheep following cattle. Ten eggs are enough for early setting, 1 and if the hen is small give her only nine. In the middle of July or August a hen 1 may hatch out most of the chicks on a 1 setting of fifteen or more. Oustave J ovanavitch, the greatest cattle breeder in Russia, and called the “ King .of the Steppes,” owns 600,000 acres of of land, possesses more than a million sheep, and 34,000 shepherd dogs. The Cheyenne Indians are driving white settlers from their allotments on the Chey- enne and Arapahoe reservation in Oklaho- ma. The Indians say they never signed the treaty for the sale of their lands. Horses should never be entirely without exercise. Even when'not at work every day they should have enough to do to call‘ upon the nutritive organs to furnish the ' waste necessary to keep the animal in alth. If there is no waste of nutrition it simply remains without change. and is therefore of no account for strength or activity. Since 1888 134,000 acres have been added to the woodlands of Great Britain. The increases areâ€"96.000 acres in Eng- land, 31,000 in Scotland, and about 7,000 in Ireland. Nearly one-fifth of the total woodlands of Scotland is reported from the county of Iverness, which contains no less than 169,000 acres. The total for the British Islands is 3,007,000 acres. 1 In Italian cities the cleaning of streets is sold to the highest bidder at a public auction.
