The World's Food Supply. From present indications the probabilities largely are that Europe will be an a extensive importer o' eeivals at the end r of this year s harvests. In England, France and Italy in particular the crops have been seriously damajred by an ex- 0 cess of rain and cold. The silk crop has r not escaped the harmful intluence of the * , unseasonable weather and the yield of hay is reported as a low average.

The first necessity of the future. J li political and social, is the amalgamation v of this emigration with the resident j p native-born population. To one who { A notes that om'-hfth of this foreign popu- , y lation was grouped in five cities in 1870, a and who is familiar with the fact that| S in these cities foreign-born citizens i r< are extremely apt to live in particular | gi streets and wards, the chance that this j 1} ? ...:ii T Muj'U!tllll'II nui, ill ti|i; i.u^ ciiuo) vi> < increasing without mixing with native I d born Americans.appears not improbable, i h There is unquestionably a strong ten- I lc deney among those who discuss this sub- : f;i ject. without feeling much confidence in ai republican institutions, to consider the j r< - foreigh-bom population of our large i u cities as likely to remain in all essential j n particulars foreign. The most effectual ' s< solvent of these fixed crystallizations of j s< population must be the intermarriage of Ii the different nationalities with each si other and with that part of the popula- a tion born in this country. .Recent re-j y urns of the marriages in New York city, I ,j< nearly one-half oi whose population is j si ' foreign-born, show that this amalgama- i si tion is in progress at a rate which must i tl in two generations put those of pure j s: German or Irish descent in a great mi- a nority, and in three leave comparatively J tl few who are so, the intermarriage of e these races with each other proceeding tl about one-half as fiistas the marriage of tl their members with those of American j h birth. I t< The mere fact that the adult males of i ii certain races showed i larger proportion | o of marriages than their proportion in | c the population would lead one to ex- j g pect. would in itself indicate that race ! c lines were not perpetuating themselves j u in the marrijiges of the city. The mar- j o risiges recorded in New York for three j 1) years?1874, 1875 and 1878?as given by j the New York Herald from the official i v register, were 23,000. Of the husbands i si thirty-seven per cent. (8,732) were j n Americans, about five per cent, more i si than t lie ratio which adult Americans , li bore to the total number of male adults. I c< The proportion of German adults mar- j p ried was over one-third, while Germans si constitute but one-sixth the total popu- a lution of the city. The Irishmen mar- ll ried were but one-tenth of the whole fi number, or one-half the number of mar- tl riases to which their proportion of the h population, one-fifth, would entitle s< them. The remainder of the foreign f? population, less than a tenth of the-total 1< inhabitants of the city, furnishes a fifth c of the marriages, twice its share. In a other words, the native bom population p give asixth more marriages than would li be expected,the Germans twice as many, o the Irish half as many, and the miscel- s; laneous population twice :is many.? ti Springfield IlcpuOlican. o A Summer Idyl.

I 1 Many farmers labor for years ignorant i: )x* of the fact that a close, well-set sod is if the foundation of good farming and the 1 in b:isis of trood crops. Soil that will pro d duce an immediate and firm set of grass i ,e will bring a good crop of any kind, j it There is no better way to test the pro- i' it ducing capacity of soil than by its grass I' 10 production. If a field yields a scant j 1. jjrass crop and is uneven or full of bar- I j. ren spots, it will not be safe to 'epend | J d on such soil for any other crop without, I extra heavy manuring, and even then j ie the crop is not of so great certainty as if i y the ground was covered with a firm sod j1 ,e at plowing time. There is something in i a a heavy sod that will perfect a crop i- even in an unfavorable season. I never ; r. have failed of a good crop on such land, j; Soil will soon be renovated after partial >t deterioration if grass can be densely set c on the surface; and this mode of renovation, I claim, is the quickest, su:est ! >t and cheapest of any. There never was 1 v a mistake made so full of loss to the 1 t, farmer as to allow naturally good soil to ; it deteriorate at all; and when the farmers j ,v understand and act on this principle our 1 >r productions will never fall below an 's average, or even to this point,?CorrclC spondence Country Gentleman. 1 D Treatment of n Worn-out Meadow. y Meadows that have been run down, ie become sod bound orcovered with moss. sorrel or other weeds, may be renovated rs without plowing.

' " Many persons may not be aware that ] glass can be cut under water with great 1 ease to almost any shape by simply using ! a pair of shears or strong scissors. In " order to insure success two points must ! ? be attended to. First, and most im- 1 portant, the glass must be kept quite j ? level in the water while the scissors are J applied; and, secondly, to avoid risk it ? applied; and, secondly, to avoid risk it 1 , is better to begin the cutting by taking ? off small pieces at the corners and along ' the edges, and so reduce the shape grad,e ually to tliat required, :is if any attempt is made to cut the glass all at once to the 1 v sliape as we should cut a piece of card- 1 f board, it will most likely bre.k just where it is not wanted. Some kinds of ' glass cut much better than others, the j 11 softer glasses being the best for this j 11 purpose. The scissors need not be at all sharp, as their action does not appear to 1 depend on the state of the edge presented to the glass. When the operation goes | ' on well the glass breaks away from the scissors in small pieces in a straight line ! with the blades. This method of cutting ' " glass has often been of service when a diamond has not been at hand for cutlj ting ovals and segments, and, though the edges are not so smooth sis might be desired for some purposes, yet it will an?wer in a great many ejises.

FOE THE FAIR SEX. Mri, Lanstr;. The New York Tribune's London correspondent writes: "Thereis a report I really cannot say at this moment whether well or ill founded?that Mrs. Langtry is going to America in the auLumn. If it be true, then you will be ible to test for yourself the English standard of beauty. Mrs. Lanetry, though subjected during two seasons to the severest competition, remains the acknowledged queen amoug tnose jaaies to whom society pays homage for their ?ood looks. She is still at the head of professional beauties, as people choose to i:nll them. The name is misleading and lias an odious sound, but it is conveni2nt and has passed into general use. > It must not be understood as conveying liny reproach whatever. It is to be said of Mrs. Langtry?but for the word professijnal it would not require saying? that her name has been for two ^ears or more on everybody's lips and in every gossiping paper without being associated with any scandal. This is true, absolutely true, although it was the Prince of Wales who first took note of her attractions, and who first brought her into notice and made her the most famous woman in London. Mrs. Langtry's beauty by daylight is at least equal to her beauty as seen in the glare of wax-lights. What you will say of her in America I cannot predict, but it is certain that one secret of her attractiveness in England may be found in the extreme delicacy of her loveliness. Traveling Britons say that this deiicacv is more comruonin the United States than here.

The face has faults which it ie easy to criticise, but the beauty of it as a whole is beyond denial. It is of some one of her portraits that I ought to say ail this, but the original is so much superior to tile portraits,^ and so much more constantly on exhibition, that it seemed more convenient to speak of that.

Care of the Hands' A handsome hand is a charming object in itself, and seems to indicate refinement to its owner. To be perfect, the hand should be delicate and somewhat long. The back should be just plump enough to prevent the veins from being too prominent. The fingers must be long and tapering, forming little graduated columns of perfect proportion. When the hand is open there should be little dimples at the knuckles, which ought to be slightly prominent when the hand is closed. Much of the beauty of the fingers and hand depends upon the proper care of the nails. These, if cut too close, deform the fincer ends, rendering them stubby. The upper and free border of the nail should always be left projecting a line or so beyond the extremity of the fingers, and should be pared only to a slight curve, without encroaching too much on the angles. Soap and the finger brush are all that is necessary for cleaning and polishing the nails. The habit of biting the nails is as ugly as it is fatal to them. When the skin of the hand is hard and rough, they should be kept almost constantly gloved, and washed frequently, but not too often, with lukewarm water and fine soap, to which may be :idded a little bran. A little cold cream before going to bed is a common and useful application. The skin of the hands should always be soft and flexible. ?Syracuse Journal. Sparrows as Wheat Destroyers. Sparrows are again indicted as nuisances by a correspondent of the LciU/er, who sends to this offce heads of wheat stripped of the grain, as evidence of the mischievous work of the little pests.
