In the driest weather our gardener was directed tG use a Iong, narrow ktiife in cutting off the roots of the dandelion plants at a point four or' live inches from the surface, with the viewv of de stroying them. Within sixty hours, without a drop of rain, anmI the soil without moisture, the plants sprouted from the root-stump and ocame up vig orously, and( covered the spot as before. The cutting of. the plants again, and covering the fresh incision with a few grains of salt, did not arrest growth; but a drtop of strong sul phuric acid applied1 directly to the wvouni apparently destroyed vitality. it is not certaiin, however, that in the spring they will not again appear in unusual freshness and vigor. W at has been stated regarding the dandelion and Its tenacity of life aJpples to tuost -noxious weeds. and the quest'on come~s * up: W by Is It that. plahts that we de not want, that are an Injury to the fields, have capabilities of growth, when valuable plants around them nre killed?

We enn see no good reason why wiorthless weeds should eixist at all; apparently they serve no0 good purpose in the world. If we could remove them from our fields as readily and as etlectively as we can the wheat or the maize plants, it would not be long before they would cease to annoy us.

He is content. with his poation. and Is lookedup to by the mass of the peopje. Such Is not the case, however, ith the Porte-Epeo-Fahnrich. This category of non-pommlssioned of,4 fieers Is entirely distinct from the oth ers. The Porte-Epee-Fahnrich are, in fact, all aspirant Omeers, and -the -rank that they hold is the first step that all must, take who desire to enter the corps of officers of the German army. This grade is conferred, In proportion to the number of vacancies, on young men who .have been six months in active service, who can roduce a certificate of excellence in studies from certain speci fled seat, of public instruction, or who have passed su'cessfully a prescribed examination before a military commis slon sitting at Berlin. In order to be admitted to this examination Or appli cant must be either a Cadet or must have enlisted as an avantageur; that is. an aspirant to the sition of an officer, and as a >rint* by this title, to the ie nent of certain priYLg-atteing to this par cuMEdition. These privileges vary according to the corps; a certain Iatl tude is allowed to the Colonels in the treatment of the avantaqeurs, who are in principle only enlisted men. In Germany the term Cadet Is applied to a student at the military schools that have been established to insure the fill ing of vacancies among the officers of the army. These schools are nine in number, of which seven are in Prussia, one at Dresden, for the Saxon army, and one at Munich for the Bavarian army. Of the seven Prussian schools, six are only primary; they do not finish theeducation of their scholars, who, at fifteen years of ago, are all sent to the principal school established at Licbter feld. The Cadet schools all receive the pupils at ten years of age and upward; the latter can enter only after an ex amainttion whose scope varies with the age of the applicant. Although these schools have a military organization, the time spent there is not counted as effective service; consequently, at the expiration of the required numbier of years of study, the cadets are dlstrilbuted among the regiments of the different arms of the service, where they commence by serving six months as enlisted men under .the same conditions as the mvantagurs. Once that they have been appolnted Porte-Ep ee-Fahnrieh, the aspirant ofli cers, whether Cadets or avantaeurs, must pass through one of the war schools (iKriegsselyulen) of the G~ernman Empire in order to be promoted ofi cers. It is only after live months' serv ice at least with the rank of ensign porte-epee, and, consequently, after eleven months of active service. that they can be sent to the war schools. There are nine of these schools; the course of studies is from nine to ten months. On leaving'. the students go to Berlin to undergo before the Military Commission sitting in that city a new examination that decides their fitness for the grade of Second Lieutenant. But before promotion they must stand another test; they must be accepted by the corps of officers they desire to join. In each regiment the oflicers assembled, with the Colonel presidng, dlecide upon the suitableness of the candidate as re gards character, honor, social standing, etc. Finally, for the special branches, artillery or engineers, ollicers must pass through the school of application at Berlin, where the duration of the course Is two years.-The United .Service. The Temato As a Dietary. It is worth noting that typhoid fever is most p~revalent among the poor, to whom this expecnsive vegetable is almost unknown. Sailors, too, just after land ing, aire particularly liable to typhoid, and In them wve may always expect a more or less scorbuitic condition. But the question of the protction ag'ainst (1iseas0 by certain diets, and by such habits as the use of alcohol, tobacco and ,opium has as yet been hardly mamlured into. Ex perinments are- now being miade on the tincture of the tomato 'which will help in determining its thierapeutic value. Mecawhile, eate~n cooked .with he ments,. andl in the form of salad after a cold lunch, it is a pleas ant andi useful addition to our ordinary repimen. The fruit-acids it con tamsj, combined w'ith the miechanic*al etfeet of the seeds and skins, render it to some e'xtent an enemy to seulrvy as well as a laxative, and the sutlphler, with its known power over sep~tic condi. ions, would probably con tribute to nmake its use a protection against, the poison germs of thonse dis. eases like typhoid, uthat find their way t into thme system p)rimnarily by the ahi-r muentary canal. ( ne caution is needed a to the lovers of this eculent. The taste C for it being an acquired one, it is thme t more likely to be indulged in to excess, and we have knowr, almost as many a tomato-maniacs as astro-maniaes. All t k'nds of raw fruit, it should be remem-t bered, except usedl with care, are liable to irritate, and we have known an in stance wvhoe a person working hard all day on raw tomatoes only, was seized with Inflammation of the bowels, which proved fatal In a few hours. As an ar ticle of diet, then, two or three toma toes will be found as effective as, and certainly safer thgn, a dozen. --Austra* lian& Mcedical Journal. Mr. Travers and Two Confidence Men. Mr. William R. Travers tells the fol lowing story on himself, and vouches for its being anew and true one: As he was learing his office on Thursday last a well-dr-essed man approached him and, greeting him very cordially, said: "How do you do, sir~P 1 am very glad to see you. When did you arrIve in the eity P" "E-er-e-ex---c-cuse me--me, sir," said Mr. Travers. "You--von have evidently mnis-mis-mistaken~ me for s5s-a-a-somebody else."4 " Are you not Mr, Andrews, of Pough keepsieP queried the man. " N-n-no, sir; my name is Tr-Tr-Trav era," he replied, whereupon the man, with many apologies, made off. Mr. Travers quietly walked up Broad way, looking in the shop windows, as is his habit, when he was suddenly stopped by a man, who,-rushing up to himn, of fered his hand and saId: 9 How do you do, Mr. Traverst 1lam so glad to see !Ih were In town and wheae. out for you every - p w-lro me, .ir," said Mr. blanely.

R On boar of English ships saling ty to Australia, On joining a ship the wh sailors an advanced a month's wages, ion with which they are slapposed to have bought a horse, which des at the end tio f or weeks. A dummy steed is pre- of pared in the forecastle, the body Wl ha i.n old Hlour barrel, the nock and h cIf canvas, stuffed with straw and Iainted. In place of a saddle, a hole Is sec sut through the body, large enough to or Ldmit the lege of the rider. an About half-past seven In the evening Yo 1% small procession, headed by a manI who carries a bato., furnished with a rude imitation of a human face. Issues ch from the forecastle. Following him is bu a sailor with long 4hite whiskers, who the h%-!ls a can for penny contributions. He dei Ia protected by a number of policemen, armed with canvas clubs like those used nip in pintomines, with which they lay n about them as freely as a Nn cork Th policeman, but with no other *idei- Ge than eliciting shouts of laughter. The wC procession is closed by a n-mber o Ir6 sailors who sing jolly sea songs dtiring He the march. After the collentin has - been taken up, the party ;turn to " forecastle. six iiIt'y -afte-vard a larger pro. tal oesion issues from the forecastle, the with a number of comic characters an in addition to those just men- bhe tioned, among them the auctioneer, in Th frock coat and tall hat, with a roll of m' papers in his hands, and attendod by a egl clerk. Immediately after the auction- Yo cer cofnes the horse, ridden, or rather carried, by a sailor dressed as a jockey, an sud led by a groom. The procession no parades about the deck, the rider mak- bu mug the horse prance in the most lively tw and amusing manner. ou The auctioneer then mounts a barrel ma o.n the quarter-deck, and after a long un wnd laughab!o harangue on the merits ha of the horse, puts u pthe animal for sale. ag Previous to all this the hat has been no passed round among the passengers and "J officers, and ten to fifteen pounds have mi been collected for the benefit of the sailors. The bidding is spirited and a aimusing, and cease when it reaches wi the amount eollected, which is then of handed to the sailors by one of the lady hI passengers. ,.1 After the auction, the leading eharao- i ters move off to the lee side, near the to mainsail, and a solemn dirge is chanted w about the poor animal dying suddenly, .,6 each verse ending with "Poor old hi Horse!" The horse and rider are then w hoisted to the end of the mainyard over gr the ship's side, blue-lights are let oif, pl giving a ghastly aspect to the scene, ye and at a given signal the rope is cut, and the horse falls into the sea, leaving the rider suspended in the air, and floats astern in the darkness. The pro cession again forms and marches around the deck, the sailors singing ''Rule Ia Britanna. '' w ye The Horn Industry. If ome of our humble friends with Pi" four feet could give expression to their sih thoughts, they would perhap~s accuseI' man of being a terribly rapacious ani-tc inat. Not only, they might say, does he pr eat our 1~csh, but he even utilizes our 7 skhti in various ways, and the very $ niorns of our heads are cut and shaped IS and polished and pieced together, until be they assume a hundred shapes whlich be nature niever intended they should take. Whiat a shockingly scifish and graspine o l -creature this man, as he calls hinmsel!' se must be! It may be urged that if our cli four-footed brothern could speak, they th might not have these or any other er thoughts to communicate. This, how ever, is a frivolous and superficial oh- to jection, for does not the powver of in' speech necessarily involve the ability is to thinkP But even if this is not so- ca and in our present mood we are not si fonlCernedl to dispute the point-it is at co least certain that if animals could think Ti' and speoak, t he reflections we have put into their mouths would be very natural and~ approp~riate, and from their point rej of view, oven reasonable. Tfime wvas wvhen, from this point of observation, we were much greater sin- L ners than we arc now. In former days, do and not so long- since, either, the horn industry was o considerable importance E in this country. T1here are, indeed, Su ploenty of people who are by no means wvillhng to confess themselves old, who rernember when this material was used teri for a multitude of purposes for which nic glass and various metals are now em- ere ployed. We are apt to think with pity v )f our forefathers, who used it for their J* amps, and lanterns, and windows; but t is as well to remember, on the other innd, that it possessed several recomn nondations, by no means to be despised. ['rue, it was not so transparent as could ave been wished, nor in those earlier lays was it turned out of hand so antis ically as it has been by the skill of aore recent times. But then it required good deal of breaking, and so our an estors were spared some of the irrita lonse which we unfortunate, mortals ave to endure. In other directions the ubstitution of glass for horn has more o be said in its favor. The modern umbler, for example, is a distinct im rovement upon the drinking-horn vhlich it has supplanted. At the present time-to come to sober acts-horn is used for the most pant in he manufacture of combs, knife-han lies, and mouth-pieces of pipes, al houghi it is employed also, to a limited txtent, for fancy articles. It is still ItilizedJ, too, for the hunting-horn, but he orchestral instruments denominated 'horns," are now made of brass. trnge to say, one of the best kinds of ora ior artistic purposes Is that for vleh we are indebted to the comely mud graceful rhinoceros, and it is so be -ause it is soid instead of being hollow, us most other horns are. It is worth toting, too, that although the braeder ins done much to improve the flesh of omesticated animals, it does not ap >ear that any improvement has been uperinduced either in the size or ter uire of the horns. It is sur ested, in-. heed, that the horns of w 1 animale are more permanent than thoefth lomiesticated races. o Good Taste.
