Manure.—The making and saving of manure are among tie most important labors on the farm in winter.

The larger the tree, the more the roots are injured in transplanting: it is also easier to bring a young tree into good form by early proning. Other things beins equal, Buy of the nearest nurseryman.

Books.—There ave excelient books on fruit- _ growing in which all the details of the work are - giren by successful men, aad now is a good etolook up tiese points and profit by the experience of others. Such works give lists of the varieties, with descriptions, that aid greatly im making the selection of sorts a3 well as direc- _ tions for cultivation. - Insects wust be looked after. The clusters or at caterpillar may be easily seen on a dull day: they form a ring or more wide. “The canker-worms €ome out of the ground in early spring—some- times during this month, and ascend the trees to lay their exes. The females are wingless, and may be kept from the trees by putting Bands of tarred paper—coarse brown paper @meared with tar or with printer's ink—closely ground the trunks of the trees. Put on these bands betore any sizns of the moth appear. Mice and Rabbits may do mischief, especially heavy ws, and trees should be guarded against their cnawing teeth. For mice, tramp the snow down closely around the trees. that they may not be able te work under it. Smear the trank with blood to drive away the rabbits.

Selecting Fruits, Trees, ele.—That which has ‘Been said on this subject under the “Orchard and Garden” applies with equal force here. Select with care, and order early ot the most rustworthy dealers. There are new sorts each at and the only safe way is to buy only a few @f these, and rely upon well-tested varieties for » the bulk of the order. Pruning that was omitted last fall should be to now, oF as soon as the weather will . Grape vines need to be pruned long he buds begin to swell. The currant and department during winter. When heavy snows come, as they frequently do in February, the snow needs to be removed from the evergreen trees. This should be done while the snow is fresh, before it bends and breaks the limbs or beeomes frozen on them. Make all the plans for drives, walks and flower-beds, and if these are at all extensive it is well to have @ chart drawn up to follow when the out-door work begins. It manure has not been applied as a top-dressing to the lawn it may be put on now. It should be well rotted and free from any seeds of weeds. The seeds for the flower-beds should be seiected, and those for early growth may be started in the window boxes. GREENHOUSE AND WINDOW PLANTS. The plants of the window and greenhouse are most appreciated during this month, and pre- vious care should be giving its best returns. Bulbs of hyacinths, narcissus, etc., are now brought from the cellar and forced into bloom. It is time to make the necessary preparations of boxes, sand, ete., that will soon be needed for the cuttings of verbenas, geraniums, etc. Water and Ventilation—The plants should have water as they need it. There should be an abundance of fresh air, and at the same time any undue exposure must be avoided. The sashes left open for a half hour may so chill the plants as to injure them seriourly. Insects.—The green fly 1s killed by tobacco water; thorough washing destroys the red spl- der. The mealy bugs are best treated by hand picking, or by using a pointed stick to remove them. Worms in pots are removed by turning out the ball of earth, when the worms may be found and picked ou Notes im the Pulpit. From the New York Tribune. The number of churches throughout the country that are invariably full, not to say crowded, on each recurring Sunday is not large. We doubt if it reaches one-quarter of one per cent of the agzregate. The majority of churches are never more than two-thirds full. A great many are never more thana third full. Not a few are uniformly as “‘sparsely settled” as a very new country. - Various explanations have been suggested to account for this state of things, all of which are plausible. But it occurs to us that one of these upon which no unusual stress has ever been laid is worthy of the serious consideration of the ministry. We ean the explanation which refers the smallness of the average at- tendence upon church services to the fact that sermons are either entirely read or are preached from more or less copious notes. The lawyer addressing a jury, a politician on the atump, are not contined to notes; why should ministers be? Is not the method employed by lawyers and stump speakers better calculated to engage and hold attentic Obviously so. It is a human instinet to believe that when a man is earnest, when the messaze he has to deliver comes from his heart as well as from his head, he will find any but the most casual and infrequent. refer- ence toa manuscript impossible. since he real- izes that It can only be accomplished by breaking the chain ot attention that connects the pulpit with the pew. A well-known lawyer once said to a friend: “When I was young in the profession I was as- signed to the defense of a man who had been indicted for murder. When I came to sum up, being profoundly impressed with the importance to my client of what I had to submit to the jury, I departed trom custom and read a carefully prepared speech. No sooner had I done so than I regretted that I had not thrown aside my notes. I found that I could not get at the jury.” Scores of ministers are constantly complaining that they cannot “get at” their congregations, They are not ministers who are independent of their manuscripts. Show usa minister who Is reckoned the most successful and we will show you one who preaches without notes. There is much sense in the eulozium passed upon a pop- ular divine by an old hunter. “I like him,” said Nimrod, ‘because he shoots without a rest,” The preaching that is philosophic, reflective, metaphysical, possibly without serious disad- vantage may be done from the closely followed written paze. So, too, may that preaching be which is to interest a cultivated audience as a fine lecture would. But the preaching which is calculated to arouse and quicken must follow not that method nor yet the extemporaneous method, which, e: pt in rare instances. has its outcome in loos nd inconsecutive thought, but a method which leaves the preacher as free to come into personal, persuasive relations with his hearers as if he were a lawyer or a stump- speaker. We are aware that some ministers say that they cannot trust themselves to get up in their pulpits without a firm reliance npon thelr notes. The tmpl'cation of course is that they hold that they had better preach with notes than not preach at all. But it is a question whether poor preaching, preaching that does not take hold. is not worse than no preaching. No man ! wonld feel that he had a call to be a jury lawyer who found that he could not “shoot without a rest” in court. Why should a man with similar limitations feel that he has a call to address his fellows in relation to matters of the first import- ance? A few weeks ago a minister ina neigh- boring city who preaches to more empty than occupled pews took for the subject of his dis- course the decline of religion. He proved the decline by reference to amass of suggestive statistics and concluded by an urgent appeal to his hearers to join him In supplications to the throne of grace for a revival. The matter of the sermon was excellent, but the manner! From first to last the speaker was closely con- fined to his notes, and the urgent appeal with which he concluded was shorn of nearly all its force since it came from the lips of a man not leaning toward his hearers, but bending over his desk; not looking into the eyes of those whom he desired to touch, but upon the printed page. The sermon ought to have produced a deep im- pression. Apparently it produced none. There Was no magnetism in it. A poet of the florid school was once criticised as having nothing to say but saying it magnifi- cently. The trouble with so many ministers is that they have much to say but they say it with distressing effect. If a public sentiment could be organized Intolerant of the reliance of minis- ters upon notes, the effect would doubtless be to exclude some very worthy men from the pulpit. But it would certainly lead to the survival of the fittest, And in this field above all others none but the fittest ought to survive. ‘The Diamond Rattlesnake. From the Toledo Blade. Ordinarily the jingle of a handfal of rings Is not an unpleasant sound, but whemit happens that these rings are fastened to six or seven feet of serpent as thick as aman’s wrist, and that serpent is armed with the whitest and sharpest of fanzs, nearly an inch in length, with cisterns of liquid polson at thelr base. the music does not seem cheerful or inspiring. The snake fam- ily are known to have but little regard for the doctrine of moral suasion, are apt to be rash in their conclusions and hasty in their actions. as well as profoundly indifferent to argument or apology, reason and politeness being en- tirely wasted on them. Only distance or brute force suffices to restrain their insane pro- pensity to probe every living thing within reach of those delicate needles of worry. As the “big Indian” among his lesser braves, so is the dia- mond rattlesnake of the southern states among | other American serpents. Dressed in a brownish colored coat plaided with lighted linesin diamond shaped blocks, and with dignity and independ- ence stamped on every curve and motion, the sleek, oily-looking rascal glides slowly through “hamok” and “scrub,” a terror to man and beast, turning aside for none, nor going out of his way to attack any unless pressed by hunger, which seldom happens in this climate where animal life abounds. As he moves quietly along, his wicked little eyes seem to emit a greenish light and shine with as much brilliancy as the Jewels of a finished coquette. Nothing seems to escape his observation, and on the slightest movement near him he swings into his fighting attitude, raising his upper jaw and erecting his fangs, which, in a state of Tepose, lie — packed in the soft muscles of his mouth. This snake is not as active as his copperhead cousin of the north, nor so quick to strike, but one blow is almost always fatal. His fangs are so long that they eon deep into the muscles and veins of is victim, who has little time for more than a single good-bye before closing his eyes forever. The writer has measured these fangs, and in one -Instance found them seven-eighths of un inch in length, and though not thicker than a common sewing needle, yet perforated with a hole through which the greenish-yellow liquid could be forced in considerable quantities, and in the case above mentioned each of the sacs contained about half a teaspoonful. The fangs are only plerced about two-thirds their entire length, and are always double. a smaller pair lying im- mediately under the others and ready for use in case of accident to the prineipal ones. +02. «A New York doctor has been figuring for the last twenty years, and has reached the conclu- sion that very smali feet on a woman means a B~ bushes start growing early, and 3 east oe pened before they begin to pst should rich; and manure, ashes and fertilizers need ‘De applied freely, when most convenient.

The recent observations made on the planet Venus during her transit across the sun appear to confirm the Impression derived from the last transit, in 1874, that she has an atmosphere not less dense than our own, and aqueous vapor and cloud within that atmosphere. This conclusion would have grieved the late Professor Whewell. who, in his ingenious essay to disprove the plu- rality of inhabited worlds, took for granted that “we discern no traces of a gaseous or watery atmosphere surrounding her (Venus),” and built on this negative evidence one of his arguments to prove that In the whole universe the earth is not bag raat the only habitable globe. Pro- fessor Whewell did his best to slfow that the earth held a very singular piace in what might be a very unique solar system; that it occupied what he called the “temperate zone” of its own sun’s system, and that there is no particular rea- son to suppose that any other sun has planetary attendants at all. In orderto make out the sin- gular position of the earth in its own sun’s sys- tem, Professor Whewell was compelled to make the most of the intensity of the light and heat in Mercury and Venus, and the most, again, of the comparative cold of Mars. In point of fact, however, it is prevents teat a very slight modi fication of our human organization—even if any structural modification at allof that organization were necessary—would enable creatures of the same general structure and habits as man to live: with ease in either ot the planets nearest to the earth, in either Mars, which should, caeteris pari- bus, be colder and darker, or in Venus, which shoald, caeteris paribus, be lighter and hotter than the earth. We know, to some extent, the the configuration of the continents in Mars, and our astronomers have at times watched.the area of the polar snows of that planet increasing with the approach of winter, and dwindling with the approach of summer. Of Venus we know much lesa, the intense brightness of her reflected light being a very unfavorable condition for minute observation. But the apparently clear evidence for an atmosphere of a good deal of density, and for the presence of cloud and aqueous vapor in that atmosphere, disposes completely of the late Professor Whewell’s assumption that no creature resembling man, now has, or could ever have, his abode there. There now seems no reason to donbt that in Venus the conditions of physical existence are such that elther there now may be there, or may havé been, or may be in future, a being whose physical existence might, like that of man and the animal natures nearest to man, exist under something closely approaching to those of terrestrial life. The length of the day in Venus is nearly the same, the weight of any given mass Is nearly the same, the atmospheric conditions are probably not very different from our own; the only material differences being probably the length of the year, which Is not very much above the half of ours— or, say, about seven months instead of twelve— and the amount of light and heat. which unless mitigated by special atmospheric conditions, as they easily might be, would probably be twice as intense as terrestrial light and heat. We insist onthis analogy, however, only for the sake of those who, like the late Dr, WhewelJ, made the argument from analogy so all-import- ant, though in relation to a question on which, as it appears to us, the argument from analogy has really a very slight bearing indeed. There is ro reason in the world why spiritual beings, much more like to us in their thoughts than it is at all probable that birds and tortoises are like to us in their thoughts, should not exist everywhere—in the pure ether, in the hottest flaines of the sun, in the dininess of the darkest recesses of rpace, in the heat of the volcano, or in the depth of the ocean. Ignore the reasoning from analogy and we can hardly have a less se- cure basis for reasoning, where observation is limited, as it is in this case, to one minute cor- ner of the universe, and we shall find no more reason why we'should confine the Creator's power to Working within conditions closely re- sembling our own than there is why we should assume that he will work at all in regions where we have uo evidence of that work. Drawing-Reoom Decoration. From the New York Times. — ~ Nothing, or as little as possible, should be admitted in the room that, is not itself a good background to humanity. No chair or cabinet of ugly color and ungainly ‘shape, no sofa or table-cloth that an artist would disdain to paint, ought to oceupy a place in the living picture. Keep chairs and cabinets that can bein any way made to look pretty; choose (If you cannot get old marquetry and carved oak) simple forms in sofas and tables that you can treat with nice draperies and vases ot fresh flowers. Of course the piano is always atrial, for it is never -less than ugly, though it is often more; bat-even that can be screened off or draped so as to be bearable. Bookcases allow of imaginative treatment, with niches for pots and fancy glass; and Oriental carpets are now so cheap that they are within everybody's reach. All darkish walls are more becoming than pale ones, because the light which falls on the furni- ture and on the living folk brings out bright por- tions and edves that lose their importance if seen against a pallid background. Light- upon light is as ineffective as dark upon dark, and in a picture an artist makes the surroundings sub- servient to whatever he means should catch the eye first. Surely that ought to be the people, when people are present ! Gold is a good background, therefore gilt objects are always effective, but not too many nor too bright; above all. not in vulgar masses OI Coarse moulding, like the chairs and consoles sold to an ignorant Croesus. The Queen Annites protested very properly against too much of anything, when they ta- booed great mirrors and gilt frames; but they went immensely too far. They are the rabid tectotalers of art. They condemn useful ele- ments overmuch, demanding total abstinence where they should have merely taught us to be temperate, and rooms furnished on their princi- ples are always cold and unsympathetic; dull as a table without wine. Let us learn to make a proper use of all good things; and a bit of old gilding (old gold tones into a darker tint and loses somo gloss) isa beautiful ornament when understood, and I un- hesitatingly add, so is a big mirror. One of the little old Indian caskets and cab- Inets, of ivory or whitewood, delicately carved in lace-like patterns, gilt like sun-lit threads on milk, gives a to any room. So does a piece of Moorish Renalssance work whereon gilding forms a prominent part. One fine gilt chair is never ont of place; and well-chased and hammered brass-work (originally a mere sub- stitute for the richer metal) is always a useful bit of color. No doubt brasses—even old brasses—may be overdone, like masses ot cheap gilt stucco. Everything is bad when you get too much of it. Even gold plate, of which few of us have an overplus, may vuigarize a dinner table when in too great profusion and mixed ill with other elements. Never be afraid of a little bit of nice gilding ina dark corner. It brings light, defines dis- tance, accentuates a desirable angle, as nothing else can. Avoid flimsy curtains hanging over the fire- place. They are bad in taste, for they suggest @ conflagration, even if they don’t lead to It. They are too short and tubby to add anything to the “background.” But long curtains at win- dow or dvor, and especially when cleverly arranged about a large mirror immensely add to the grace and comfort of a room, and often magnity its size, though I have known people object to such use of @ mirror on moral grounas —as they would object to padding their dresses and replacing lost teeth and hair. These people, however, don’t rule the world, and the world has happilly concluded to do without their rale. A curtain, wherever it is, is a valuable oppor- tunity for and many of the modern copies of old hangings area tf splendid ornament. Draperies are not enough used. Competi In an Introductory lecture in physiology at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, Prof. Pettigrew strongly denounced cram and the competitive examination system. Among other things he said: “‘The ancients belleved that men varied as _to intellectual capacity and endow- ment, and that it was the (peyiice of education ‘to draw out’ of the man that which naturally inhered in him. The more modern—and he be- leved the less philosophic--view takes for granted that men vary little to begin with, and that eveything might be put into them by a rocess of cramming. The ancients aimed at Poaching men to think and judge; the moderns had no soul above passing examinations and getting on in the world, Asa physiologist, my sympathies are wholly with the ancients.” per al ee ‘Trying to Get Used to It.

Y., in 1839. From his parents he inherited English, German, and Hebrew blood. His father, a man of some culture and ability, was 8 professor in the Aloany Female college. Some years after his birth his father died, and in 1854 the family moved to California. Living In the rude mining settlements of the interior, and mingling with the rough characters that peopled them, the boy absorbed from actual ex- perience many of the incidents which afterward grew under his magic touch into the now fa- millar idyls ot the embattled diggings, the law- leas flat, and the immoral bar. The first three years of his life in California he had all the mixed fortunes of a pioneer, and tried his hand at many means of livelihood. Fora time he was a compositor in a hewspaper office at Eu- | Siz reka; then he mined for himself, without largely increasing his fortune. As a school-teacher he was able to indulge more liberally the literary taste awakened by his work as a printer. These latter experiences afterward grew, with all their natural color and textures, into the déll- cate study entitled ‘M'liss.” A year’s work as express messenger gave him the clear-cut pic- tures of Yuba Bill and other knights ot the stage. In 1857 Mr. Harte came to San Fran- cisco, taking his place as a compositor inthe office of the Golden Era. A few Bohemian sketches written as copy brought him under the favorable notice of the editor, and he was at WILLIAM BALLANTYNE & SON, JalT 428 SEventH Sreecr.
