Books, too, lie here in profusion, and many pens, and numerous bottles of ink, and a patriarchal sofa that never saw better days than it sees now, when all the chilâ€" dren prance over it, and love it, and make much of it, as being their very own. "Well, it is," says the vicar, with his broad and rather handsome smile, that works such miracles in the parish and among the mining people, who look upon him as their own special property.

Now, the last young woman was so different, has arrived, and will no_doubt. be ove joyed to see her. â€"The vicar himself opens the door for Clarissa, and tells her Miss Broughton down on Friday to the Redmonds‘ to welcome her. She (Clarissa) had taken it. rather badly that pretty Georgie will not come to her for a week or so before entering on her duties ; yet in her secret soul she cannot help admiring the girl‘s pluck, and her determination to let nothing inâ€" terfere with the business that must for. the future represent ber life.

This may be accounted for by the fact that in the progress of science of late years such important inventions as the teleâ€" graph, telephone and phonograph all deâ€" pend upon the hearing for their very exâ€" istence; and when this sense of hearing is educated by long practice in these and other directions, very important and surprising results have been attained. By way of illustration, the telegraph operator can, by ‘sound, recognize an acquaintance at the ke‘g'a who is sending a message from a distance, simply by his or her style of sending, on the same principle that one can recognize anâ€" other‘s _hgmdwri.tini with which they are familiar by sight, while to the orâ€" dinaxzt observer the clicking of the soun: would be the same, no matter how many changes were made in the senders. About four years ago Henry Lewis, a confectioner, who lives with his wife and six children at 52 Floyd street, Brooklyn N.Y., found an aged woman sitting on the stoop of his house. She was poorly dressed and evidently withâ€" out funds. As she showed evidence of culture, he invited her to his home. Sbe acceptéd, and Mrs. Leowis refused to let her go. The aged visitor remained with them until six months ago, when Lewis found it a difficult matter to support his family. Then she told him she would not continue to be a burden on them, and insisted on gging to the poorhouse at Flatbusb, where she reâ€" mained until a few weeks ago, wnen she returned. . She had gone away comparaâ€" tively a pauper, but returned worth $300,000, which she has turned over to Lewis for his kindness in taking her in and caring for her when she was without a friend. ‘The discovery that she was heir to the money was made when the surrogate of San Francisco inquired for her through the Brooklyn surrogate, and it was discovered that she was an inmate of the poorhouse. Thers she bids them goodâ€"by, and, passing through the gate, goes up the road. Compelled to look back once again, by some power we all know at times, she sees Georgie‘s small pale face pressed against the iron bars, gazing after ber with eyes full of lonely loagâ€" " But lessons will be over at two o‘clock," says Cissy, who likes going to Gowran, and regards Clarissa as "a thing of beauty." ‘"‘Why not walk up afterward " "I shall _ expect you," says Clarissa, with decision; and then the two girls teil her they will go with her as far as 'l.]he vicarage gate, as she must now go ome. ‘‘We begin lessons toâ€"morrow," sni': the new governess gravely, who loo always so utterly and absurdl{) unlike a governess, or anything but a baby or a waterâ€"pixie? wilg her ggllow bair and gentian eyes.

Do {ou. have an ox roasted whole occasionally, for his special benefit f" ue Cissy Redmond, at this juncture, summons up sufficient courage to open the door and come in again. She ignores the fact of Georgie‘s red eyes, and turns to Clarissa, Snfie bas Miss Peyton‘s small dog in her arms,â€"the terrier, with the long and melancholy face, that goes by the name of Bill. The traces of her late emotion are still wet upon her cheeks. Perhaps she knows it not, but, "like some dewâ€" spangled flower, she shows more lovely in ber tears." She and Clarissa are a wonderful contrast. Clarissa is slight, andâ€"tall and calm; she, all life and brightness, eager, excited, and unmindâ€" ful of the end. ‘‘Never do," says Clarissa, giving her rich encouragement. "It is ever so much nicer bere." As she has never seen the smoky town in question, this is a somewbat gratuitous remark. "And the children are quite sweet, and very pretty ; and the work won‘t be very much ; andâ€"and I am only just an casy walkingâ€"distance from you.‘ At this termination they both laugh. Georgie seems to have forgotten her tears of a moment since, and her pasâ€" sionate burst of grief. Her lovely face is smiling, radiant ; her lips are parted ; her great blue eyes are shining. She is a warm impulsive little creature, as prone to tears as to laughter, and with a heart capable of knowing a love almost too deep for happiness, and as surely capable of feeling & hatred strong and lasting. 3 n tb egne ui I wl "I gave my aunt forty pounds, on the fairâ€"haired beauty, glad t somebody in whom she can safely fide and to whom her troubles m made known. .

The lastâ€"mentioned piun is perhaps the worst of all systems of feeding roots, as they are cut into 1rrc$ul.arly- sha?ed chunks, provided with plenty of angles, that tend to their impaction in the gullét. Cattle biting a mouthful out of a big root have to chew it, and it is generally small roots and tubers, and irregularlyâ€"cut picces, that cause choking. If you have had much trouâ€" ble with cows choking it argues a bad system of management, for where orâ€" dinary care is taken choking is )])Jx;ao- tically unknown; unless, as we have said, from accident or discase of the oeoophnfu.s, causing dilation or stricâ€" ture of the gullet. _ It is not customary to féed potatoes whole, nor is it desirâ€" able, for of all food material the class able to maintain, but to constantly inâ€" | crease the productiveness of our soils, which is the only safe basis on which ,wc may build, even hope for continued | success in the business of farming. For [if we keep on taking away and adding | nothing to the soil, we will soon have |not enough left to let our friends know where we are. A man witha limited : capital has as good a chance of drawing indefinitely on his bank account, as the !fnrmer has of reaping an indefinite number of grain cropsâ€"from his land, [wibhout the certainty of getting both |his land and himself in bankruptey. 'Summer fallowing, which has usually been looked upon as a firstâ€"rate way ‘ of adding to the fertility, is, in the | main at its best, only a means of renâ€" dering more quickly available the dorâ€" mant stock of undeveloped ferultgf | which nature has slowly accumulated. | A moderate application of barnyard manure is frequently found equal to Occasionally a case of choking occurs, perbaps from cattle accidentally obtainâ€" ing access to the whole roots or tubers, or in a case where, from disease of the cesophagus, other food material may cause choking, but for the most part among breeders who do not use a pulpâ€" fallow as a stimulant to the producâ€" tion of a paying crop of wheat. But the underlying secret of success of both methods is that the capital account in the shape of fertilizing material is being worked off, and nothing put back to replace the perpetual drafts made upon it. The rapid exhaustion of decayed and decaying vegetable matter, tends to alter very much the mechanical conâ€" dition of the soil, and the alteration is always in the wrong direction. Rotaâ€" tion, the best way by which crops can be had with the smallest waste of ferâ€" tility, is not only the best course for preventing soil exhaustion, but the best means for preventing the multiplication of weeds and insects. My rotation is ;l&ve‘x;.) i'?.;"’ oats, wpealt; It is bardly safe. «down a singleâ€"ruleâ€"orâ€" mode for every body, or for all kinds of soil. Care should be exercised in adopting a rotation to know that the crops grown are of such a character that your soils are well calculated to produce. It will be the wisdom of a practical farmer, if he gives need to the truths which science demonstrates, and realizes the results deduced by the scientific invesâ€" tigator alike from science and observaâ€" tion. _ And it is of the highest importâ€" ance that we should look far enough abead to avoid shipwreck _A week or two of severe drought in the growing season means failure more or less disâ€" astrous, for every farmer who underâ€" takes to produce a succession of grain crops, even with the help of occasional summer fallows. This is the age of specialties and specialists. The most successful business men are they who altend strictly to their own particular business instead of venturing into numâ€" erous outside enterprises or speculaâ€" tions. _ So in the agricultural world, we must make our~â€"work a business, and conduct: it on business principles if we would make it pay. For to succeed nowâ€"aâ€"days we must be complete masâ€" ters of what we undertake, and unless we devote our entire time to it cannot achieve the necessary mastery. 1‘{“{% held, in which clover (that lifeâ€"giving and healing. balm for old wornâ€"out soils) should always be given the first place.

The landward side of the city of Stamboul is bounded l?' the walls of Theodosius, rebuilt in 447 A. D., and now in a ruinâ€" ous state. its bazaars, public baths and manufacâ€" tories. It will be remembered chiefly by ljlmilmh readers on account of its hospital having been used by the Anglt» French army in the winter of 1804â€"5 and by reason of its beautiful English cemetery with its monument to the heroes of the Crimean campaign. Its population is now about 60,000, that of the whole capital being about one milâ€" lion and a half, by the limpid Sea of Marmora on the south, while the swift current of the Bosphorous flows past its eastern front. Scutari, although a suburb of Conâ€" stantinople, is practically a separate town, the distance across the water being about two miles.

I was astonished at the racter of the speeches, quesâ€" tions _ and demonstrations I hbeard. They proved above all that these much maligned men are of studious habits and take their profession very MUCH IN EARNEST. © Fatalists, as most of them are, they know that safety lies in knowledge. As to the Moslem military spirit, it is as strong toâ€"day as ever during the last two centuries. The Turk is a most enduring creature, hl;gly and capable of withstanding great bodily inflictions. His courage has never been doubted.

"But it has been asserted, ‘the Turks have no reserves.‘ That was " This state of things, reminding one of medieval times, has totally changed. Ever since 1886 have large detachments of Turks, after receiving preliminary instruction at bome, taken service in the German army to return aftera year or so of hard work and dessimate the knowledge gained among their‘ comâ€" rades. In the same way, but merely "It happens frequently that foreign officers entering the a)rvÂ¥oe of a friendâ€" ly mation, do so on account of difficulâ€" ties at home. They seek a change of air to escape ersditors or on account of differences with their superiors. The Sultan very properly declined to receive men so situated as instructors. . His friendship with the Kaiser guaranteed the character of ail the officers enâ€" gaged for his army ; they were all pickâ€" ed soldiers, tried teachers, men of stamâ€" ina and exremnoe. The majority had served at least part of their time with the Engineer corps. _ e forâ€" instructive purposes, have exemâ€" plary German officers taken position with the Sultan‘s troops. 0g3 "The book of instruction newly inâ€" troduced into the Turkish army is simâ€" ilar to the German military code> Sami Bey, Turkish military attache at the Berlin embassy, is responsible for the greater part of the instructions which he has se ried out. "The world knows only of Moslem defeats in our days; Purkish officers and generals have a bad name, not beâ€" cause they lacked in aggressiveness or courage, but because they had little else TO RECOMMEND THEM. _*"‘The strength of the army is enâ€" urelg sufficient, considaring that one word of the Sultan suffices to call the entire male population, as far as they are believers to arms. 4 * You may doubt it or not, these modâ€" ern Turks are hard workers, and in their military duties, which they hold sacred, they neither hesitate nor falter after the Lead of the I:.m&)ue and of Islam has ordered new and special efâ€" forts to be made. That the Sultan was in earnest with respect to the army reforms needs not to be set forth. Ever since the last year His Majesty has been anxious to do all in his power to put his army on the most modern footing. His friendship with the Gerâ€" man Emperor is the consequence of the personal interest both feel in their respective armies. "The Sultan, being satisfied that German drill and strategy are superior to any other system, he allowed myself and brother officers full sway in our departments. We reorganized his standing army down to the last gaitâ€" er‘s button, as the phrase workâ€" ing harmoniously with the 'f\u'k.iah auâ€" thorities, who gladly recognized us as teachers.

"I say the above is not only an erâ€" roneous but a dangerous assumption totally at divergance with THE TRUE FACTS. *"Since the last war the Sultan‘s r,rqulps have immeasurably advanced in drill, as well as stragetic respects. It is no longer a force subject to antiâ€" quated methods and motions. . It is entirely untrue that the reforms &ro- posed by myself and the s‘aff of Gerâ€" man instructors were executed only on paper, as has been repeatedly asserted. To the contrary, they have been reâ€" ligiously put into practice and theoâ€" retically studied with that zeal ordinâ€" arily credited only to German profoundâ€" ness. ‘"During the past few weeks a great number of people who have never set foot on Turkish soil, and are seemingly entirely unacquainted with the condiâ€" tions and institutions prevailing in the Orient, have aired their views, and have launched fulsome criticism upon the Imâ€" perial army, intimating that it would be quite easy for any European power to vanquish the Musselman forces.
