The London Daily Mail announces that Mr. Alfred Harmsworth has deci ied to abandon the Sunday issue of that paper "as a concession to those who object to Sunday journalism, and in consideration of the appeal of his employes, who objected to a rest day other than Sunday." The public will also gues3 that another reason for the discontinuance of the Sunday edition is that it was a financial failure. The demand for Sunday newspapers in England is rery limited.

On going nearer we saw, what we bad not noticed before, a pigeon, sitting on the branch, about a yard from the snake. It was perfectly motionless, not crouched on the bough, but standing up, and made not tile slightest attempt to fly away. We shot the snake, but neither the fall of the creature nor the report seemed to "unfreeze" the pigeon, at first. Then it did not fly, but slowly walked along the bcugh isto the centre of thi? tree, where I suppose it remained until it had recovered from the shock to its nerves.?The Spectator, N?

That is a "c reminiscence of days when stamps ce and stones obstructed the surface and 01 made it impossible to do neat work in ev marking out. A strong horse, easy on w< the bit, is neceesary in doing good co work in marking rows. Still more is a clear sight to the end of the field on "J the part of the man driving the horse. ?* Unless the surface is very uneven w four marks can be made at once, of which the inside one will follow the mark made in going round last time. ? This makes three rows for planting gained in going aoross the field, and ?* six in going and returning. It does w not take long to mark out a large field e? in this way.

The roots of quack run milch deeper in sand than in heavier land, and they are more g] persistent in liv.'ng. If you cover i0 qnack leaves witl sand/it does not w smother as it would under the same hi bulk of the more compact clay. It is gi impossible to plow sandy land deep p] enough, except by having one plow e2 follow another, to turn the quack ei grass roots to the surface. In heavier qi land nearly all the horizontal roots bi are found at about the usual depth of si plowing, and lettiugthe plow down ah p3 inch deeper will bring most of them to fr the surface, where thev may be raked m up and thrown on hot fires. But if I si this were to be done ou,sandy land it ! 0t would reduce the soil to sterility. It ti ig better to havo a growth of quack _ grass on sandy soil than to have nothing. If kept closely pastured quack grass is sweet, tender and nutritious. If allowed to grow large the plant becomes less palatable, aud some of the plants will throw up seed 8talks. The scythe will, however, keep these down. Some farmers who have sandy land claim that for tliern quack gra9s is a ^ ^ i V? i . T f nvoronf a frnm f^UUU lUXU^.

Tho asparagus rust has done in- _ creasing damage in the asparagus growing sections of the Northeast and the Atlantic coast States the past two yearB. In 1897 the loss in Massa- ? chusetts was from fifteen to eighty cc per cent, of the yield, averaging fully tb twenty-five per cent. This pest has to been made the subject of elaborate in- tb vestigations by the New Jersey, fl Massachusetts and other experiment I jD stations. The Massachusetts station pj (Bulletin CI, by G. E. Smith and R. 6t E. Stone) concludes that the practice 6j of burning the affected tops iu the t,v summer has resulted in injury, and tb no benefit has manifested itself from ai burniug in the fall. This is in line 9t with the experience of the most sue- j( cessful asparagus growers in Massachusets. It is also true that the et results obtained by spraying aspar- fe 1 agus are not encouraging. The ; most encouraging features of this st Massachusetts investigation are the followiug conclusions: g( The various asparagus beds on p( moist soils do not appear to be aiFected p] with the summer stage of the rust and iu a.Uln a??a nnf inin rnd Kmnrr ' I CUliSCljllCU li J U& VJ Ui/w 1UJU?VU, h(j I able, as it were, to resist the summer ai | stage, although the tops of the plants w ! are affected with the fall stage during m their period of natural death.

From a knowledge | ! of the occurrence of the rust in Europe i iu ami from observations made iu this | b( State, we are led to believe that the I S outbreak of the asparagus rust is of a J tb sporadic uature, and is not likely to cc j cause much harui in the future, pro- m ' vided attention is given to tlieproduc- 0I tion of vigorous plants.?New England i>( Homestead. p( How to Load a Wagon. S1 Dvnometer tests made at Cornell w show that the distribution of the load on wagons has little effcct on the draft. The tests were made on nearly If level sod with a wide-tired wagon If weighing 1260 pounds and loaded with hi e ton of pig iron. The average of ur testa showed the following reIts: ad evenly dlstrlbited 239 lb. draft required ad over front axle..254 lb. draft required lad over bind axle..255 lb. draft required This shows no appreciable differice in the draft, whether the load is er the front or hind axles. But it es show that the draft is 6.6 per t. greater with the load placed at le end of the wagon than when it is enly distributed. The four tests sre uniform, showing that under the nditions tested the results were iry accurate. In tests that have sen reported by Professor Sanborn, Utah Experiment Station, the draft as found to be ten per cent, greater ith the load over the front axle than Hen it was placed over tue rear axie. tie difference in results at Utah and arnell was probably due to difference conditions under which the f '* ere made. Bat the results of j. 1 itablish the fact that a load placed rer the front axle does not draw isier thau when evenly distributed even placed over the rear axle. Tests were also made at Cornell to jtermine whether the commoc ethod of high hitching to bnggie! as as advantageous as a direct hitcl i the frout axle. The test was made 1 a level floor with a phaeton weigh* ig 360 pounds, and the power furished with a rope attached to a wind88 at a height of about four feet sis ichee, the ordinary height at which arses draw at the collar. The averse of six tests showed that when the fn f.ViA fmnt UOO mnutuou uuvuv w ?MW cle, tlie draft was 18.7 per cent, reater than when attached to the hiffletree. Tests were then made on 1 incline to determine whether the irect attachment wonld be more adxntageous, but it showed that the \ irect attachment required 18.8 per snt. more draft than when attached > the whiffletree. But when tests ere made with an obstruction one ich high before the front wheels, the, snal method of high-hitching only lowed an advantage of six per cent, rer the direct hitch to the front axle, his shows that the usual manner of itching to buggies is probably the ost advantageous method of attachient. The effect of oiling wagons was very arked in tests made. The wagon 3ed was one that had not been in ;rvice for several months, and the kindles had become dry and gammed. he total weight of the wagon and load as 2980 pounds, and when drawn np slight incline it required 224 ponnds raft. The wagon-wheels were then iken off and the spindles wiped clean id oiled, and then drawn np the ime incline, and the draft required as 174 pounds. Or, in other words, le wagon with dry spindles required venty-eight per cent, more draft than le same wagon when well oiled.? ountry Gentleman. A Model Fralt House.

Protective mimicry, that cunning uevice of nature to preserve animals from their enemies, is well shown in the eggs of certain fishes notably the Californian shark, kno^n as Gyropleurodus francioci. The shark is of a sluggish habit, lurking among rocks, and its dark egg resembles a leaf of ke'p or seaweed folded up spirally. It is deposited among the beds of kelp. ?.nd clings to the leaves by tbe edges :>f the spirals. ' The young shark bursts open the end of the egg and jwims away. Another shark'n egg of :he Pacific Coast has tentacles, which ;lasp the seaweed, and also imitate its appearance. Among the investigations conducted by Professor E. Dorn on subjects connected with the Eontgen rays, has been a series of experiments to de- I termine the sensitiveness of a totally solor-blind person to this form of radiation. According to his theory, the light seen when the eye is exposed to the rays is due to a peculiar aptitude of the eyes for these rays, and not to fluorescence in the retina. The light excited is greatest at the periphery of the eye, seeming to indicate that the rods of the eye are sensitive to the Eontgen rays. The cones also were found to be sensitive, and fclioi'A is no central blind spot in the totally color-blind eye -which is insensitive to the rays. It is believed by Dr. Dorn that the hypothesis that total color blindness can be ascribe'} either to failure or to the aptitude of the cones of the eye may be disproved by these experiments. We should hardly expect to- have a handsome and accurate portrait bust of an upperclass lady from Neolithic times, says Dr. D. G. Brintou, in Science. But the marvels of science Uo not diminish.

The members of the Flemish Academy of Anvers recently determined to frame a word which woald be readily intelligible to all who understand the language of Flanders and who have ever seeu a horseless carriage, and the result was that after much deep thought they framed the following word: "Snelpaardelooszonderspoorwegpetrolrijtuig." This euphonious word signifies "a <mrriftcre which is worked by means of petroleum, which travels fast, whicb lias 110 horses and which is not run on rails." That is, from one point of view, a fine example of multum in parvo, but it may bo questioned whether one extraordinary long word is preferable to half a dozen short words.
