Of coarse, he was not always a' boy. and as he grew_ up the freakish antics ofJais stomach took many varied twists. On ooe occasion, when a druggist's back was turned, Tarare hastily swallowed a couple of dozen of corks of all siaes. At last, his stomach being full of such indigestible matter, he became tbe^ictim of violent attacks of colic and was finally compelled to seek the advice of M. Girard, of the Hotel Dieu. Girard called* council of phy sicians and Tarare's <mse was thoroughly discussed They triel to explain to the what would be the final outcome of performances, buf^were greatly sur \ if not angered afc^chagrinecL, to he had actually swallowed a chain, seals and all, beside a bunch seven keys and a glove hook which Were on an ivory ring nearly two inches in diameter; ail this while the learned gentlemen were lectuuag him f At the time of this examination he regularly ate twenty four pounds of beef a day, be tides otber victuals io proportionate tjoantifces. He now entered the French Army, being first attached to the Ninth Regiment of Hussars, Major Courville retaining him as a freak. He was daily allowed the regular rations of three men *- j and the right to the refused scraps and .other pickings. When on the march he would catch eels aod serpents and swallow them whole. On one occasion he ate a cat, bones, fur and all. Colonel Marpel . and Oeneral Beaujqarris both make affi davit that they saw him eat thirty^-pounds of. liver at one sitting, and others declare that he once ate fourteen months old child! ?

There is a great diversity ofjyginion. as to the best methods ot outdoor" cu!tf-~ ration for violets. T. D. Halfied says in the Garden and Forest: * 'My experience lias shown that violets Inxoriate in rich soil, plenty of moisture and full exposure. Some growers take their stock plants in winter, try rooting the runners, which is a good plan when there is danger of disease, but generally old plants are divided into two or three crowns. Until last year had kept all runners clear off during summer, but I fcund where a few had been left, when transplanted into the flowering bed along with the old plant; they bloomed well, and will make very good plants for out doors this season."! BSKS W THE ATTIC. Make a small, dark, frost proof .room about 4*6Jeet, a? may suit your conveni ence, in the upi>er part of the house. Erect a scaffold inside of this room about four feet high, and within six inches cf the stde where you wish the entrance, which should be about six inches wide by one-half inch high. This may be enlarged or contracted to iuit the season of the year. These entrance? should be on that side of the house which is used the least, fur bees some times get too familiar. Now put the l&ive on the scaffold, about six inches from the entrance. Make a little board for them to travel out and in on. A hive should contain about 2tH)0 cubic .inches and have holes in the>bottom. It is said that bees will seldom swarm from such a place, and will winter well there, even in as ceid a climate as Wisconsin. Of course further north the rosm must be warmer. Bees will build comb under the hive in large quantities in favorable seasons in such a room, and the owner when he wants honey may go with a light placed at one side, smoke the bees and cut off what honey he wants. This plan is not a mere "castle in the air,& but a practical qne. ? American Bew Journal. CULTIVATION AND MOWCURE. ^ Moisture is one of the essential and moat necessary requirements ftr plant growth, but from the general ^bit of relying upon seasonable rains for rtqup ply too little attention is often givenSs^ conserving and making use of what the ground already contains. Thus the dif ference between watting for rain in a dry $ime and "catching" the moisture by frequent cultivation, which without it would escape from the soiHnto the at mosphere, may often be measdred by the difference between success antt failure. There are but few seasons so unfavor able frpm-4routh that a stirring of ^the soil frequently while it continues will notygreatly mitigate its effects. By this jprtcess moistureMs saved to the plants in two ways; ll If cultivation is begun in early morning the dewfatt-ef the pre vious night is 'Captured and pattly saved. 2. The moisture remaining deeply in [the soil in a dry time is always ascend ing towards tfc* surface, to be quickly evaporated mo the air. Hence the, hard, dry cn*t always found at such times where the ground is left undis turbed. By often pulverizing the sur face a mulch is found which arrests the moisture ascending by capillary attraction and holds it at the right point to be ab sorbed by the root* of plants. ?

Walking orer an arewga seeded field one find* many cure places, or only sarpd from bareness by the in evitable weeds which occupy where the valuable grasses hare faiied. Part of thb.iailure comes from imperfect prep aration of the see i bed and deficiency of seed sown. Beside*, there is not enough variety of grass to secure the largest crop. . Two, three or four kinds growing together will yield a greater amount of . hay and of better quality than any one alone. We hare often thought that if farmers koe> the value of thor ough seeding they wouia rase greater pains to secure it. jtfot long ago we saw such * field kept as pasture for a herd of Jersey cows.

It was soft and spring y, ifts if one walked on relret, and not s bare place nor a weed was to be seen ex cept near the fence, where some shade trees had led to trampling the grass rbots immediately around them. The field had been seeded two years after two years' cropping with potatoes well manured. As the cows pastured are grain-fed be side, the fertility of the soil constantly increases.

Several small pastures are always bet tor than one large one. ! ^ C Early sown beets make a good feed for the liens and chickens. * The transcendent is a beautiful variety of the Siberian crab-apple. Whole wheat and corn mixed form the best grain food for fowls. Fowls to do best should hare a plenti ful supply of earth, grass and gravel. - The best plan is to feed tke, poultry only so much as can be eaten Sp clean. Successful experiments have been made in forcing early v^etables by the use of electricity. ' Regularity in management is as im portant in poultry raising as regularity in feeding; both are necessary. A good farm-yard fowl must have stamina and vigor, as it is supposed to pick up a good portion of its living. If you leave the stable doors open these .nights be sure the^granery door and feed boxes are safely closed and fastened. t There is a way of making each cab* baje stalk do double duty in provid ing material for sour-krout and cold slaw. Fowls are so provided that they can grind any kind of fool eaten. It is not strictWnecessary to grind their food for them? ^ Op the mijoritv of farms durin^fe* A spring, at lea3t, there is more of less milk thai can bs fad to t ie ho^s to an advan tage.

They5r*too wasteful and expen sive to compete with silos and concen trated food crops. ""v Sour feed is no better for pigs than-for other animals, and many diseases can be traced to its use. Among theae are black teeth and blind staggers. . Bjth Yorkshire and Suffolk pigs are white, but tho Yorkshire is heavier, stouter, and has a very short snoot. Its hair is longer and coarser. Itis often the case that if the hens are well fed during the spring and summer they will moult early in the season and make good winter layers. If you have not brush handy for the peas, spread strawjjetween the rows for them to fall on. It will ^keep the pea3 clean and the ground cool and moiat.

Correct! n* the Slant of Japanese Eyes. "The Japanese are not only adopting American social and business customs, but they are also trying to cootorm their pbysicial features to the appearance of Americans," said H. D. Neumann, of San Francisco, at the Southern Hotel. "1 was iu Yokohama recently and I met there several American and German doc tors who were getting rich by straight* ening the slant- in the Japanese eye to make it look like tbe beloved Caucas ian's optic. The Japanese, you know, show the traces of thefe-Mongolian ori gin more plainly in the chape of their eyelids than in the color of their skin, and those who san afford it are ridding cfal Ttloe to the student Loui* Globe- Demo jhemselves of this unmistakable evidence of their despised ancestry by submitting to a simple and comparatively painless surgical operation, which consists in the surgeon splitting the outer rim of the eyelids in a straight, line for the barest ^ofioitesimal part ol. an inch.

Co me it seems impossible to iiv plain the constant revolution of the eye* ball on any other hypothesis exoept that given, viz. : Tliat the opfioal axis ex* tends forward instead of adewiae. When a fish wishes to eat anything, either at^he bottom of the pond or at the surface of the water, it swims directly toward the object; and in this case the eyes are instantly adjusted in line with the body, so as to bring the> image of the particle desired upon the posterior portion of thetetina. ? In this case they lose their usual horizontal position. If a lish wishes to turn to the righfc or left in the water, says Professor Af>gar in the American Angler, the first more* ment is that of the eyes in unison in the - direction of the turning. This would be entirely unnecessary if the apparent axis was the axis of most distinct vision, as one of the eyes would see all that was to be seen on the side of the turning. After this movement of the eyes the body turns enough to bring the eyes into their normal position, then there isagain a movement of the eyes and next a move* meat cf the body. This causes a peculiar ?jerking motion of the eyeballs during the whole time of the turning of thf body. Chinese Hospital Pat!e<ifs.
