The Estimate ot Character.
It is one of the sorry truths in etbios
that the estimate of a man's character
depends almost entirely upon the character
of the people with whom he comes
n contaot. Nature, ever the same-,
bears utterly different messages to the
oheerful and to the melanoholy man, to
the scientist and to the ignorant, to the
artist and to the ordinary looker-on. The

world within. Social life, too,
is a response to character. The
selfish man is convinced of the
selfishness of his neighbors, while
the generous man sees only their kindness.
The cold heart thinks that humanity
is barren of affection, while the
loving spirit finds it overflowing all
around him. Deceit is ever distrustful,
while sincerity extends the cordial grasp
of confidence. The passionate meet
with violence and the rude with rudeness,
while the gentle and corteous rejoice
in the gentleness and courtesy
extended to them. Each quality has a
magnetic attraction by which it draws
out its like in others, the bad eliciting
what is bad, the good and pure drawing
out and developing goodness and purity.

From the gaps left by the two masses
of rock whioh last year fell from the
Risikopf upon the Swiss village of Elm
it is estimated that they formed only a
hundredth part of the whole mass of
the impending earth slip. A Geneva
correspondent writes that the final catastrophe
cannot be long delayed, but
that neither the preoise time nor the
direction of the inevitable fall can be
foretold. Much depends upon the
weather during the next few months.
Meanwhile, although the people of Elm
watch the mountain with extreme solioitude
and are always ready for temporary
flight, they show no disposition to
leave their homes permanently. A new
course has been made for the Sernf,
into which so much rubbish fell last
year, and roads have been opened over
the debris to the meadows and mountain
pastures that lie beyond it. Snowplows
have been brought into requisition
to push the rubbish aside?where
it is not too deep?and lay bare the cultivated
ground underneath; and new
barns and shippens are being built to
replace those that were destroyed.
Soie idea of the rapid growth of

obtained from the fact that the total
production, which was 675,000,000
pounds in 1859, has now risen to 1,300,000,000
pounds, or nearly doubled. In
Europe alone the consumption of
soffee is said to have inoreased 240,000,000
pounds in the single ^ear of
levy, as lor tne proauomg countries,
.t seems that Brazil now holds the first
jlace with a total of 560,000,00^ pounds
igoinst 330,000,000 in 1870. The eman- "J
cipation of the slaves is, however, ,
expected to lead to a falling off in the ,
rop, unless the Chinamen and coolies
imported from Asia shonld prove unexpectedly
well suited for the work of
cultivation. Next on the list come the 1
Dutch Indian possessions, which export !
ibout 150,000,000 pounds, the British
East Indies, now exporting over 140, 1
100,000, and Venezuela, producing 1
ibout 100,000,000. On the other hand *
;he Antilles Islands have long been '
declining in the scale. Jamaica does '
aot supply half as much coffee as in <
L805. Martinique has fallen still more '
entirely out of the raoe, and the Be <
mion coffee, which was once highly '
jsteemed, and is still deolared to be of 1
sxoellent quality, finds no longer any '
market in Europe owing to the unfash- '
ionable bitterness of its taste. <

In an article on the comparative ]
growth of nations, the New York Tri- (
imne remarks: Abont 800,000 inhabi- j
:ants have been added to the population (
jf this country daring the past year by (
amigration, and 1,470,000 since the last ]
census was taken. During the last de* \
jade the inorease was 2,812,190 by emi- j
jration, leaving 8,785,222 for the in- ,
jrease by excess of births over deaths ,
More than half as many emigrants as ,
crere received during the whole of that ,
lecade have arrived within the two fis- (
jal years which ended last Friday, and ,
the population of the United States
must now be about 53,800,000. Beoent
enumerations of population in Great
Britain, France and Italy enable us to '
contrast the growth of this with 1
other nations. In ten years Great
Britain has gained in population 3,400, ;
000; in two years the United States has
gained about 3,700,000. In ten years
France gained 1,200,000, having lost to
Germany a population of about 1,600,000,
or about 2,600,000 from other
causes, so that tue joint increase of both
Germany and France, with 77,000,000
of people ten years ago, has been less
than one-hall greater in ten years than
that of the United States has been in
the two y>jars just ended. Austria
gained from 1869 to 1880 only one
1,981,000 inhabitants, and Italy from
1871 to 1881 only 1,651,000, so that
their joint increase in ten years was
less than that of the United States has
been in two years. Europe has been
disturbed by wars, it is true. But this
country was also retarded in growth q
a great oivil war during the previous decade.

rOB THE FABM AND HOME*
A Steer's Eye*
The eye of a steer, when prominent,
bright and olear,with a.'mild and gentle
expression, is an indication of health,
with a quiet disposition and good feeding
quality. If the eye is dull and
sunken the capillary circulation will be
defective, and the functions of nutrition
imperieotly performed, and there will
not only be a deficiency in the ability
to fatten, but a lack of strength and
constitutional vigor. A restless and
wild expression of the eye indicates a
predominance of nervous aotion and an
unquiet disposition that is not compatible
with good feeding quality,
Worina and Bun*.
The Farm and Garden says in relation
to the attacks of worms and bugs: To
save all sorts of vines from the attaoks
j of bugs and worms requires constant
I watchfulness and a timely use of remedies.
There is no use in trying to drive
the yellow-striped cucumber bug off
after it has injured half the plants in
your patch. Prevent it coming on by
changing the natural soent of the vines.
Sprinkle your vines frequently, and
just as soon as they appear above
ground, with water in whioh a little
kerosene oil has been mixed, or with a
weak solution of carbolic aoid, or with
plaster scented with kerosene, or with a
real rank-smelling manure water.
Either of the above, if Applied daily,
will generally keep the bugs off. The
large, blaok squash bug must be hunted
up every day from among your vines
and killed. These bugs like to seek
shelter under some ohips, little pieoes
of boards, shingles, etc., whioh you
may place among your vines, so you
will know where to look for the pest.
A Seasonable Hint.
"The practice," says an exchange,
"of allowing grass to run to seed on the
? v ? lr #
land 18 very miscmevous. iiisay iarmers
do it under the impression that it
improves the pasture, bat it has exactly
the opposite effect. Grasses, If allowed
to grow unchecked by mowing, beoome
exhausted and soon die out. Indeed,
many varieties are not strictly perennial
and perish if allowed to ripen seed,
Mowing or grazing are indispensable
for obtaining and pieserving a good
pastnre. Those who cut grass for hay
shculd select that stage for mowing
when the earlier varieties are in full
flower. There is in all grasses, ar d especially
in clovers, a constant secretion
of saccharine matter in their stems
during their early growth, and the best
hay is made by those who select the
best time to mow, which is indicated
when the grasses are in flower and before
they begin to turn color." If you
want a close, well fliled lawn be especially
careful to keep it cut. Lawn
and pastura gflumea propagate-themselves
through their roots and not from
seeds dropped.
Food for Ilellcr Calves.
In growing heifer calves for the dairy
the important thing to accomplish is to
erow the frame ana mnsoruar system
without laying on mnoh fat. It is a
'angey, well-developed animal, with a
rigorous digestion, that is wanted in
the milch cow. The profitable milch
20 w must be a large eater and make the
best use of her food, in order to pro
luce a large yield of milk. In rearing
the heifer, then, she should be so fed
is to give her a fall development of all
the vital organs, and this will necessarily
bring her digestive organs into
special activity. Fat in the animal
body seems only designed to serve as a
cushion to the tendons and joints, to
fill up and round out depressions, and
lastly, as a reeerve of fuel to keep up
animal heat in case of necessity. It is
not the seat of any sensation, but little
or nothing to do with the vital proBesses,
and generally is merely inert
ballast in the body. The food given,
then, should not be designed to lay on
fat?food containing an excessive
amount of starch or oil should be
avoided in feeding heifer calves designed
for the dairy?but food rich in
albuminoids and the mineral constitusnts
of .the body is what should be

How to Train Tomato Vines.
in all my experience ana ooservanon
in the cultivation of the tomato plant,
says a writer for the Country Gentleman,
I have never seen so profitable a way as
is praotised by my next neighbor. When
his ground is made ready, he sets the
plants in rows about four feet apart and
three feet in the row. When about a
foot high, he places a stake about six
feet long firmly driven into the ground,
leaving about four and a half feet above
gr >und. To these stakes the stalks are
tied, pains being taken as the plants
grow to have a crotch at or near the
ground. As these two branches grow,
he entwines them about the stake.
When any branches start out of the
main stalks, they are allowed to grow
only a few inches long, then headed in
by taking off the terminal buds. In
that way many side branches are tarnished
for bearing. When planted in
this way, the plants are easily cultivated;
light and air freely oiroulate in every
part. The tomatoes being thus favored
grow very large, and being so far above
ground, are free from dirt, and all wash
ing and cleaning are avoided. They are
ready for market when picked. Where
there is not a suitable branch formed
near the ground one stalk is wound
around the stake, and does very wall.
When the stalks reach the top of the
stake they are not allowed to go higher
On plants set out in this climate about
the last of April or first of May,
the first ripe fruit appears about the
middle of July, and growth of vine and
J yield of fruit oontinoe until frost sills
( ./
j
the leaves?usually three months of ripening.
My neighbor Wis me that in
a good growing season 'he has piofced
from half a bushel to three peoks from
eacn average staxe, ana no larger or
smoother tomatoes than his appear in
market. He also tells ik^that he would
rather have the stalks taller than short- 1
er. In this way of training the stalks
the fruit is ripe two weeks earlier than
by the low way of training. The object of
this trimming is to indnce growth of !
fruit instead of unneoessafy branches.
When the stalks are in rapid-growth,
trimming is needed "bnce in fen or
twelve days. In this way he has raised
at the rate of 1,200 to 1,500 bushels per i
acre. .: *

"Golden Medical Discovery" and 'Turgative

swellings and open sores about the neck; and
your "Favorite Prescription' has accomplished
wonders in restoring to health my wifo who

It will do more than any other piece of paper
of its size and value In the world. It accomSlishcs

eemed impossible. That talismanic placard on
the corner of an envelope or package commands
the use of capacious and beautinil buildings
wherein to receive your letters, orders trains oi

deliver them. It brings Information from every
section of the country and tidings of pleasure as
well. But the crowning consideration is the feet
that a three-cent stamp sent tc A. Vogeler <5tCo.,
Baltimore, JId., with the applicant's name and
address, will procure a copy of St. Jacobs Calendar,
replete with interesting reading matter, and.
better than all, containing specific instructions
for the treatment and cure of rheumatism, neuralgia
