Alabama Postmaster refused to send a postal card because the message was written in telegraphic characters, on the ground that he was not permitted to forward any postal card which he could not read.

It is unlawful in Massachusetts to keep a drinking bar in any place not visible from a public street, and screens or other obstruction to the view are prohibited, as well as any arrangement of bottles and casks to effect the same purpose. This law is now strictly enforced in Bos ton, where, in many instances, tho bars have to be removed to front rooms, and windows cut through the walls. The Hetailer, speaking for the liquor (rade, says that the law lias not lessened the sales atall. At first there was a slight hesitancy on the part of some drinkers, hut that quickly passed away, and the general result is to make the traffic more

open, and respectable.

It makes no difference what kind of greens one has— whether spinach from the garden, or “cowslips, or dandelions from the streams or Helds, don’t cook either with fat meat. The fact that vegetable food tends to correct evils from the long continued use of salted meat has given rise to the notion that greens should be cooked with the meat. Cook the greens in a separate vessel, with only, if need be, a little salt. Thus treated, every variety of greens will not only be more acceptable to the taste, but vastly more digestible.

A soil may thus bo exhausted or deficient in only one of the several food elentents, and yet it is not much better, as far as plant growth Is concerned, (ban if all the elements were equally lacking. All crops do not exhaust soMs equally—some remove more potash than others, and one requires a greater amount of nitrogen than another. This is very clearly shown in the long extended experiments of LaWes and Gilbert at Rothamsted, England, ft is found by them that the plots upon which continuous crops of clover, beans and roots have been grown without any manure, have declined more rapidly than the land devoted to cereal grain crops. This is surprising, in so far as clover, etc., are generally considered as restorative rather than exhaustive crops. A judicious rotation of crops is as much needed to preserve the even fertility of the soil as to keep it mellow and free from weeds.—American
