Y*>rk TrHtitw. I have known in
stances. wb*re plaster sown on cloyer
in irfegular streak* showed Its effect
as f|$ as one could sse the fleld ; wb*e
ao: application of 200 pounds per a?ye,
!! no doubt made a gain of one ton of
bur per Acre. On other fields and
otnqj Mil* tffrice that quantity bad no
perceptible effect and it apparently
was thrown away* No -one can fore
cast results by looking at the soil, or
by ally other means ; practical test Is
thfc.ope and only way. 1 have some
times sown early in spring on clover,
and then again when the plants were
foyr or Ave indies high, and tHough it
is p olity jobl prefer to have tho work
dooeia?tae-d?wy morning. Apply at
tty rate of about 200 pounds^ per acre
. and if all at once put it on broadcast
by band, or by plaster-sower, about the
time the plants begin to cover the
ground* and leave plots here and there
all over the field without any, and one
yraUr will tell plainly whether it will
pay on your* soil.
For ?eorn it should be put on the
hills when the plants are two or three
inters high. Take it in a bag over
one shoulder, or in a pail on the left
arm, and with a little practice you can
ftick up with tho thumb and Angers
he Tight quantity for a hill and by
timing Ft *p and motion of hand you
?toqn get to go as fast as you can walk,
tame take two rows and take sufficient
in the hahd for two hills, throwing
to tho right- and left as they p&*s
a'.ong. Try this in the same way as
recommended for clover, and one sea
son will tell very clearly whether or
not plaster will pay on that kind of
soil? though this fact should be borne
in mind, that plaster has much more
and a much' better effect in some sea
sons than in othors. in a season quite
dry with frequent and light showers,
plaster has always given mo tho be3t
results.
But the fact should be remembered,
that plaster is in no sense a manure, and
in and of itself has little or no value
as plant-food. Just how it helps we
cannot say, and yet the fact is indis
putable that on certain plants on cer
tain soils It does exert a wonderful
lufluencttgjilpecially on clover, peas,
potatoes WjLaometimes corn. Since,
however, iW not a manuro but a
stimulant, anytricrease of crop by its
us$ only so much more and so much
faster impoverishes opr land, and un
less we follow such a system of {arm
ing that we put back in real plant-food
as much greater amount than ordinary
as we remove in the increased crop,
we shall And we are none the richer
forcing plaster, but have only drawn
our deposits from tho bank so much
the sooner. But by so farming that
we use the inbrefwe^ ctop of clover or
other plants to feed the more stock
and to make the mo^e manure, then
the application of plaster will be one
of the means to profit.

Incidents In a Philosophers Boyhood.
Professor Jo3eph Henry, one of the
most eminent of American scientists,
died May 18, 1878. Recently his
memory has been honored by the un
veiling at Washington of a mag
nificent bronze statue, made by W. M.
Story, and costing $15,000.
Among the interesting reminiscences
of his boyhood is the story of his first
pair of boots ? a true story, often told
by himself in later years.
When he was a boy, it was the uni
versal custom to .have boots made to
order, and his grandmother, with
whom he was living, indulgently al
lowed him to choose the style for him
self. There was no great variety of
styles. Indeed, the choice w^s limited
to the question of round toes or square
toe7. Day after day Joseph went to
the cobbler's- and talked over the
matter without coming to a decision,
and this even after their manufacture
was begun, unt 1 at last the shoe
maker, fairly out of patience, took the
dejislon into his own hands and made
a most remarkable pair of boots? one
boot round toed, the other square toed.
Later in life Profossor Henry often
came deliberately to his decisions, with
the advantage that he seldom if ever
had occasi* n to abandon them.
While Joseph wa< a Bchoolboy he
aoqu<red a taste for reading in this
peculiar way: One day he chased a
pet rabbit through an opening* in the
foundation wall of the village meet
ing house. While crawling about
among dirt and rubbish a gleam of
light enticed litta through the broken
floor, and he found himself in a room
containing titer1 opfcn tookcasr of tho
town library. The title df ' one of ' the
books struck his fancy and ho took it
down. It was Brooks' "Fool of
Quality," and he read, coming again
and again through the hole inthetloor,
until access by the door was granted
him. From this first book thathe ever
read with relish, he passed on eagerly
to other works of fiction in that
library.
A few years lata*, in ft way almost
equally accidenm'- his mind was
turned to an entlroly different class of
reading, 'Sarfo ?
Confined at home by * temporary
illness, he tooltip a book.casuallv left
on the table bV ft boardeV, and entitled
"L,ecturea$ on?*|&xperimontal philos
ophy, Astronomy and Chemistry, in
tended iptyefl? ;fpr the Use of Young
Persons*. By & /Gregory.'' It began
with amir questions : "You throw
a stone* Qr shoot ^an fir row into the
air; why does it n6t go forward in the
line ;or direction that you give it?
Why does noWlame or smoke always
mount dpwaid, though no force is
used tqi riend them in that difoctlon?
And why should not the flame of a
tandlo df op toward the floor ^hen you

the whole c<ftrse of this.
After bis death this be
in Professor Henry's llbr
following entry upffctir* .
written in his own hand ; x
??This book, although by no lbeftns ft
profound work, has, under Providence,
exerted a remarkable influence upon
my life. It accidentally fell into my
hands when I was about sixteen years
old. and was th3 flitat work I ever read
with attention. It opened to me a new
world of thought jtad enjoyment ;
invested thing* before almost unnoticed
with tho hlgheat interest ; fixed my
mind on tho study of nature, and
caused me to resolve at the time of
reading it that I would Immediately
commence to devote my llfy to the
acquisition of knowledge."

n.The Spree waid 1? a district about
sixty miles from Berlin, where k Sclavic
race, called- Vends, with different'man
ners, customs and language from the
Germans, exist. They are a branch of
the Russian family of races which was
mead over much country in Saxi&y.
Thsy have a different language, and
though there la but a' ?ma)lpa$ of it
written, vet the Bible baa ben printed
In IK They live now in the marshy
lands of the river Sprte, and there is
no more picturesque country in Ger
many. -Very few travelers go to see
it, but it will amply repay a visit. You
go about in boats, as the country is
entirely cut up by canals, and much of
it is Inaccessible In any other way.
? An hour and a halrc hard walking,
says a Berlin corresp< n lent, brought
us to Bepg, where, after a dinner of
kalbebraten (roast veal) and a glass of
beer, I found a man who consented,
for $1, to row me In to the Spree forest
He procured a kahn, a long, narrow,
flat-bottomed boj\t, e ght Indus deep,
and throwing some hay into it, told
me to lie down. Then, standing up,
he pushed the boat along with a
pole, dodging around >:orners and
passing other boats with indescribable
skill. He was a\ end, was this rower,
and a peculiar-looking genius lie was.
His broad straw hat came low down
on his jovial face, sun-browned and
red. His white cotton shirt was
open at the neck. His feet were bare
and red. His pantaloons were rolled
half way to his knees, an 1 his arms
were destitute of sleeves. A trembling
black pipe hung between his teeth,
and this shook as though about to fall
whenever his muschs swelled in a
hiavy push of tho boat.
He was a Jolly fellow of forty, and
I shall not soon forgot my visit to his
home before starting. It was a small
affair of two rooms, and a garret
reached by a ladder. It was made of
wood, and its roof was of thatch nearly
a foot thick. Suth a ro^f he told me
will Inst thirty years. In this little
den he llve.l with his father and
mother, and his wife and hisdaughter.
The women jivere pla nly dressed in
the Vendish style, and the daughter, a
strapping girl of twenty, wa< quite a
beauty. Her arms and fest wero bare,
bhe wore a red skirt, and a velveteen
bodice of blue, cut very low in tho
neck and having sit eves not over an
inch long, out of which came a pair of
arms of red and white? enough color
to have been one of Ruben'a models.
Her eyes were brown, her fa e was
rosy, plump and op^n. Her hair showed
a forehead of Groi'k cast, and it was
gathered back into a knot under the
very picturesque cap peculiar to the
Vends ? half hood, half bonnet,
adorned at the end with two long
strings, which floated down the back.
Such is a Vendish beauty in her every
day costume.
My host asked me to eat with them,
and though I had just had my dinner
the affair was so novel that I took my
seat with the others at the table.
There wero no plates, knives or forks.
The sole eatables were a pot of mush,
very like that we make of corn meal
in America and a di?h of lettuce.
The mush was put on the table in the
same iron pot in which it had bee n
boiled, and we ate it with iron table
spoons, which each dipped in from
time to time. The salad was eaten in
the same wjw. A spoonful of mush
ariti a spoonful of salad, they worked
away until the pot was as clean as the
famous platter of Jack Sprat t and his
fat-eating wife. Remember this was
the big meal of the day, the break fast
and supper In Germany I elng less than
the noon meal. The fathor made no
apology for his scanty table, and he
ivM^ntly thought it good enough for
one.
x laid down in the boat and com
posed myself- for the journey. Now,
we would go through the luxuriant
meadows, on which, for it was harvest
t'me, the young men and the pic
turesque damsels were cutting the
ffrass, loading it on boats and pushing
t on tho cnnals to their barns. The
banks of tho smaller canals are so near
that you can almost pick the flowers
that adorn them as you go .'az.ly
through. Now you shoot off into a
great forest, and f< r miles your eyes

leafy trees which make an arbor over
you. Houses and villages are passed
now and pgain, and every human soul

Two gentlemen were conversing the

when one of them remarked: ?? There's
just one superstition (hat clings to

happen. **
"I agree with you," replied the
other, " and my experience has war
ranted my fears. I have never broken
a mirror but I have met with some
bad luck the same day."
"Is it vossibleV" asked the first,
with an open mouth.
"Yes," replied the other gentleman,
" there never was a day on which I
broke a mirror t' at I did not lose
from two-to twenty-five dollars."
" You don't say."
" And more than that, J,he amount
lost has always corresponded with the
value of the mirror broken."

tronized by some aristocratic old ladies
in Vienna, and was invited to play at

whose brilliant intelligence was not
exactly an ornament to the line of
