The Plains of British America.
In relation to the differences between the soil and. vegetation in our Northwestern Territories and those of British America Ernest Ingersoll writes to Science: N orth of the line the grass is dense and long, and the flowering herbage is profuse. West of the South Saskatchewan this gives place to a greater, more plains-like scantiness of vegetation, to be sure, but nowhere is the bareness and aridity of the southern plains equaled. This is due to the greater moisture in earth and air, and/ to the extraordinary fertility of the soil,' Manitoba producing an average of 21j to 22 bushels of wheat to the acre, or 4 to 5 bushels in excess of the average of any other similar space on the continent. The soil is‘coal-black, and declares its richness at first sight. Dr. Robert Bell, of the Canadian geological survey, discussed the causes of this fertility before the Canadian Royal Society May 23, 1883. He pointed out that the materials were the bestpossible, having been derived from the glacial drift of the north, mingling sand and X gravel with the cretaceous marls spread over all British America. Having this favorable constitution, Dr. Bell assigns to the moles the chief agency in the formation of the thick top-layer of vegetable mold which is now the joy of the farmer. In the Assinaboine valley the moles have thrown up almost every foot of the soil into hummocks, each containing a large shovelful of earth, and burying completely the grass and vegetation over a space a foot or more square. The vegetable matter thus buried decays and becomes incorporated with the soil, so that the process is analagous to plowing under the soil. This work of the moles not only enenriches but refines the soil. In making their burrows, they select the fine material and cast it up to the surface, leaving behind the coarser. The effect of this is similar to that alleged by Darwin of the earthworms (which do not exist in the Northwest Territories), since, in the course of time, all the stones are buried. Their labor is supplemented by that of the gophers, sper--inophiles, and badgers, the last-named digging deeply, and heaving up large quantities of gravelly subsoil, which the moles work into and improve,while all bury much vegetable rubbish as nests and food. This beneficent animal agency nearly ceases, however, when the elevated, hard, and stony “third steppe,” called the Grand Coteau du Missouri, is reached, and when the mountains are approached, where the soil is clayey. About one hundred species of trees and shrubs are recorded as growing on the Northwestern plains, while the list of herbaceous plants is a very long one. A good many noxious weeds have been introduced with civilization, and some flourish most aggressively. The worst pests are Canada thistles, wild mustard, oats, and buckwheat. The Thlaspi arvensis, 6r mithridatic mustard, commonly known as “penny cress,” is a great nuisance in the Red River valley, where it sprouts and flowers in spring, surrounded by. snowbanks, and exposed to severe frosts. Sunflowers rise abundantly wherever the soil has been disturbed, and ought to be utilized. Insect and fungiod pests to crops are remarkably scarce*, though the Rocky Mountain locust has at times invaded the Red Rivervalley. The grasses are mauy, and those called “buffalo-grass” attract the first attention. True buffalo-grass, however, is not found north of the boundary. The buffalo-grasses of that region are Butchelona oligostachia, representing the gramina grasses of the Southwestern United States; and Stipea sparta, more often called “spear-grass, ” or by several names indicating what Dr. Holmes calls its “diabolish” characteristics. The young spring leaves of the Stipea sparta are the most succulent and nutritive of all the prairie grasses, which; as a rule, are harsh and sedgelike ; they are short, and form themselves into tussocks (most notably in dry uplands), which, though useless in making hay, provide a very valuable pasturage. It spreads over the entire Northwest, and is most plentiful on the buffalo plains, where it stood as the staff of life to the of wild cattle once ranging those limitless opens.
A Recipe for Pumpkin Pies.
A subscriber writes to his favorite journal asking how to make the same kind of pumpkin pies that were made when he was a boy, and eaten on Thanksgiving Day. We regret to chill his desire for knowledge, but it is our duty to do so. They can’t be made. They don’t grow the same kind of pumpkins now. The sun never shines down on the old corn-field the same way it did thirty odd years ago. ' There has come some sort of change over the climate that scientists all recognize and that bears a polysyllabic name that he wouldn’t understand any better than we do. If he doesn’t believe it, let him walk out, some summer afternoon, between the towering rows of nodding corn-stalks, and note the difference. Jt is hotter than it used to be, and not half so invigorating. Then, the soil has changed, too. It sticks to his boots in a way that was unknown to his bare feet in those days of the very long ago. The pumpkins are still there, we suppose. Market reports and the columns of country newspapers stdl chronicle their growth and the enormous sizes they attain, as of yore; but the flavor I That has gone as irretrievably as the mud-pies which used to turn their brown sides up to the sun when all of us were young. The pumpkins of the present day are squashlike in taste, thin, watery, and unsatisfactory. The crust of the pie is hard, soggy, and indigestible. The flour and the ovens are changed. And although this is an age of progress, the art of pie-making has not kept up with its fellows in the march of,,improvement. Perhaps this is owing to the introduction of the stove, and the abolition of the old-fashioned brick oven. There was something about those old brick ovens that gave pie-crust a flakiness and tenderness which is noticeable in modern pies principally by its absence. No, the old-fashioned pumpkih-pie has passed away. It belongs to a bygone age. In its place we have machine- , made pies, put up by the gross and
carted around in wagons. The only way for our knowledge-thirsting friend to taste again those viands of the past is for him to seat himself beside his grate, some cool fall evening, light his pipe, close bis eyes, and dream of the old farm-house among the hills and the Thanksgiving dinner of his boyhood, when his grandmother presided over the table, and the pumpkjn-pie came on in a tin dish, square at the confers, and deep enough to hold ten dozen bf the pie-plates of the present day.' This may not satisfy his hunger and sustain life, but it is the only way that the man of thd present can ever hope to taste the pumpkin-pie of the boy of the past generation. — Puck.
Eugenie’s Sorrows Her Own Work.
Of all the mistakes made by Napoleon 111. in his imperial career, that of his marriage was "assuredly the most fatkk-i., It was Eugenie that wrecked the empire by bringing about the war with Prussia, prompted by her fervent Catholicism, that would not suffer her to brook the spectacle of the rise and prosperity of a Prqtestant power. It was she that drove by her narrowminded exactions her unhappy son out to the war in which he perished. Never came Nemesis to a sovereignty or a dynasty clad in a fairer or more alluring form, yet verily it was Eugenie that avenged' the victims of the coup d’etat. And it seems as though fate itself was leagued against the second empire, so strongly . did events shap& themselves to bring about the ruin of the last hopes of his adherents. Only eight months after the death of the Prince Imperial, the demise took place of an aged and wealthy lady, a Mme. Auban, which, had it occurred one year earlier, would have saved the life of the hapless young Prince, and might have brought about the restoration of the empire. This lady had made a will bequeathing her entire fortune, some 8,000,000 francs ($1,600,000). to the Prince Imperial. It is a well-known fact, and one not denied by the most ardent Bonapartists, that the poor boy entered the British army and undertook that fatal campaign into Zululand to escape from the intolerable existence to which his mother’s narrow-minded-ness and jealous fears had condemned him. She denied him an income sufficient to enable him to maintain the appearance necessary to a young man who associated on terms of equality with the princes of the blood royal of England. He was not able even to keep a second horse or to take rooms in London during the season. Often, when he was invited to some of the ducal or princely homes of England, he was forced to decline the invitation, because he could not afford to pay the fees to the servants. His mother’s dream was to keep him constantly at her side, going to mass and confession daily, and passing the remaindef“of his time between prayers and conspiracies. No youth not born a monk by nature could have long submitted to such a regime, and surely not one who had been born and bred the heir to a throne, and in whose veins flowed the fiery blood of the impetuous Hortense Beauharnais. The inevitable catastrophe arrived at last; the young man broke the leading-strings and rushed out into the world, only to meet death face to face, and to consolidate the republic of France beneath the spears of a horde of savages.— Lucy Hooper, in the New York World. ,
Not Even a Fire-Cracker.
Two negroes, one of whom had formerly worked for an Episcopal family, met in the street. “Helloa, whar yer holdin’fofe?” “Libin’ down in de country now,” replied the Episcopal negro. “How’s times down dar ?” “Da ain>’t rushin’. How’s da up heah ?” “Oh, da ain’t run erway wid nobody yit. Whut yer doin’ up heah, nohow?” “Knockin’ roun’ er leetle, Beein’ es dar’s any discussion gwine on.” “Wall, dar ain’t none at de present. De Gubner an’ de Seckertary o’ State is outen town an’ I ain’t been stirrin’ erbout much o’ lately. How’s church matters down in de country ?” “Peart. How’s da up heah?” “Sorter slow.” “Mighty tine wid us. Pse er big man in de church now.”
“Oh, go on.” “Yes, I is, fur er sack. I’se er canon in de church,” said the Episcopal negrq. “Er whut?” “Er canon. ” “Yer doan tell me?” “Yes, I does.” , ■ ' “““Er'canon?” , “Yas.”
“Now, look here, Sam, I knows yer, an’ I bet yer ain’ no mo’ den er pistol in dat church. Er haw, haw, I bet yer ain’t er fire-cracker. "—Arkansaw Traveler.
Wheel Grease Stains.
Rub a little clean lard on the spots, and let it remain over night. In the morning wash with cold water and common soap, rinse well and dry quckly, and press withawarm iron. If the color is likely to change by using soap, then use naphtha or alcohol in>stead of the soap and water. It will remove grass stains as well as wheelgrease stains.
In Keeping.
“Harr Professor, how do you like my new tragedy?” “Very much, indeed. Especially the robbers—they are first rate. In fact, they are the very best thieves I ever heard of; even the words they speak are stolen from other books.”—Swabiscker Merkur. In are not allowed to sell miscellaneous articles, on the ground that such sales are likely to divert the clerk's attention from the delicate duty of compounding medicines. There are drug-stores where miscellaneous articles are for sale, but no prescriptions can be pfepared, under severe penalties. Poisonous articles are kept in a room reserved exclusively for them. / Our alarms are much more numerous than our dangers,.and we.suffer much more in apprehension than in reality. - " An Italian astronomer claims to have discovered that Mars is peopled with intelligent beings. He ought to sign the pledge.
A Rural Belle.
Did you ever see a 'genuine rural belle ? As a study, a vastly animated study of the bonhomie unrestraint of nature in its variable mood, the rural belle occupies a pedestal of her own, and, what is more to the credit of this bird of changeable plumage,she created that self-same pedestal herself. Novelists are in the habit of calling this sort of a creature Hebe. Why they do I cannot say. Hebe of the latter-day order of romance, is something I cannot surround With any degree of satisfaction. I may mention right here that I did try to surround a rural once, but the result was far beyond my utmost anticipations. Other fellows have tried to do likewise. The returns thus far received prove conclusively that it requires something more than cheek and checked pants to attain the proper modicum a ]a circular about this coy though willing belle of the rural parts. The romance-grinder delights to call the festive belle of the meadow unsophisticated. No man was ever more mistaken in all his life than the putativa.chai> of the fashionable walks of life who endeavored to woo the belle from the chrysalis of reluctancy by the allurements of the divine passion, pure and simple. The rural belle isn’t that sort of a bird. She is of different material. She knows more about the requisite amount of red pepper properly added to soft mush for hens than she does of taffy. Still, there is no gainsaying it—when she does drop to taffy, she is quite capable of roasting the supposed-to-be-ensnarer upon the-gridiron of her unmitigated scorn.
A man who falls in love with the rural belle must have the patience of Job, the grip of Tantalus and stoicism of Prometheus. The belle of the rural parts is variable in her temper. One minute she will smother you with her warm caresses, and the next she will want to brain you with a three-legged lacteal tripod. One day she will want to romp on the greensward, and the next day she will tie you down to a dose of L ongfellow’s “Evangeline. ” In the morning she will feed you on milk and honey, and in the evening she will leave you all alone under the wildgrape arbor while she goes riding with the russet-cheeked son of brawn who owns the adjoining farm by right of legacy. Right here I might just as well say a few words about this scion of a hay-making race who owns the adjoining farm by right o.f legacy. He is the acme of manly perfection in the estimation of the rural belle. When he lays down his hand no others need apply. The queen of the dairy is not sordid, but she is a woman; next to reigning supreme over her father’s farm, from boundary line to boundary line, she looks forward with blissful anticipation to the time when she can reign in undisputed glory over a farm of her own. This is the reason why the russet-cheeked son of brawn, who owns a farm by right of legacy, is so often a stumbling block in the path of the city youth who would a wooing go with more cheek than ducats. Still there is a charm about, having your wings singed a la proverbial moth that is utterly irresistible. That is the reason why so many city youngsters come back from the rural parts with chalky complexion and sad eyes. They have been singed. The greater portion of them commit matrimonial suicide and fasten themselves down to a carameldevouring machine in silks and satin, with a pug-dog attachment—simply through pique. Oh, yes; there is no mistaking it. The rural belle carries , a superabundancy of female loveliness, about her. She also has a great amount of the handy knowledge known as tact. She can win a fcan’s heart, and send his peace of mind to the four winds quicker than the most cultured darling of fashion. But, love a rural belle, and be loved in return, and, well nd matter. Immense.— H~ 8. Keller.
The Juvenile Tormentor.
“Popper, wot do they have the policemen watch the block where they had small-pox for?” “Oh, to keep the disease from spreading. ” “The policemen’ll keep ’em from breaking out, won’t they, popper ?” —— “Yes, yes.” a “Is small-pox dangerous, popper?” “Yes, quite dangerous.” “It’s catching, ain’t it ?” “Yes.very. “But you’re vaccinated you won’t catch will yon, popper?” _ “No, I s’pose not. ” “You were vaccinated when you want off with Mr. Brown yesterday, wasn’t yer, popper ?” “Why, what makes you ask that question ?” “Koz mommer said she knew you wouldn’t catch anything if you stayed fishing for a week.” Springfield Homestead.
The Difference.
Fannie is a little girl who has a big wax doll as a companion. A few days ago a new sister came to her house, and after a few days she went over to a' nighboFs “Well, Fannie,” said the lady, “where’s your wax doll?” “Oh,” she answered, turning up her nose, “I don’t have nothin’ to do with wax babies any more. We’ve got a meat baby at our house now, and that takes np all my time.”— Merchant 1 raveler. i In Chili and Pern the men and wo.ni!en‘ in the churches sit in different parts of the congregation, as was formerly the custom in the Methodist churches of this country. The women far outnumber the men. Each lady worshiper brings a little carpet on which she kneels or sits during the celebration of the mass. The women are especially devout, the men not so much so. The women wear in’ chufch the manta, which has long been the favorite dress of the Chilian and Peruvian women. A peculiar custom prevails in the churches of these Countries as to bell ringing. The bells from the towers announce to those who are without as well as to the congregation within the elevation of the host and other portions of the mass where the devout Catholic is expected to kneel and to cross himself.

Land and Sea.
The continents, according to Mr. John Murray, of the great Challenger expedition, have an average height of .about 900 feet above sea-level, and occupy five-sixteenths of the earth’s surface. The seas’ “abyssmal regions” occupy about’ half of the earth’s surface, and have an average depth of three; miles. In the Pacific the greatest depths are to the south and east of Japan, where there are abysses of over five miles; and in the Atlantic the greatest depression of a little over four miles is to the north of the Virgin Islands. The great ocean basins—once so dark and mysterious—have been rapidly becoming familiar to man during the last twenty years.
A Gentle Stimulus
Is imparted to the kidneys and bladder by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is most useful in overcoming torpidity of these organs. Besides infusing more activity into them, this excellent tonic endows them with additional vigor, and enables them the better to undergo the wear and tear of the discharging function imposed upon them by nature. ’Moreover, as they are the channel for the escape of certain impurities from the blood, increases their usefulness by strengthening and healthfully stimulating them. In certain morbid conditions of these important organs they fall into a sluggish stat#, which is the usual precursor of disease. What, then, can be of greater service than a medicine Which impels them to greater activity when slothful? No maladies are more perilous than those which affect the kidneys, and a medicine which averts the peril should be highly esteemed.
