Like the others, it is built of travertine, a hard durable stone' originally, but now browned by age, and hon'eyconibed by the effecta of heat and storm. The columns, though not 0 high,- are not in single pieces, but in several, laid one upon, the other, the flutings joined with exactness, and the e whole originally covered with stucco. In many of the capitals the stucco cov oring still remains. The structure is well elevated from the ground, and al e though the surface around it must have been raised, in the course of ages, by d the accumulation of debris, there is no such squatty effect as Is so common k with modern buildings. The princial ns effect, Indeed, is, as has been said, that a f I solemnity and strength of propor tions." It is architecture that com 8 mands respect, even awe and reverence. e We feel that wd are in the presence of d something majestic, powerful and sol emnn. A rellgion or a superstition could r not fail to take strong hold upon the it Imagination when so dignified and ex y alted by art. e The B isilica, so called, stands to the right of the 'lemple of Neptune, with a d space of 200 y4rds or so between, To my nind, it has not the simple majesty of its neighbor, though larger, and al e most equally well preserved. Its con it tral space Is elevated about four or five feet above the outer portion, and is di vided into two equal parts by a row of columns. The exterior columns are ' nine in number at each end, and sixteen 0 at the sides. They curve considerably, and taper toward the capitals, which d are lin the form of a flat button. k These temples are none of them large. The State House at Columbus is as great, or greater, in dimensiot.s than all three of them together, and is far more massive In actual construction. But it, is not their size that gives them It their impressiveness. It is their maj 1 esty of proportion; conveying the per fectexpression of strength and dignity. e We forget to consider whether they are ir large or small ; we only reflect that they ts seem large-In fact, iuch larger than Ie they are. t The iTemple of Vesta, about a quar. It ter of a 11110 to the left of Neptune, and fronting in the same direction, is truly a gem. It occupies higher ground t than the others, and though inferior to them in size, shows to good advantage. k it, l perfect. One feels that even the iron clamps and bar.i which have been placed here and there to support its do. L caying architecture, or hold crumbling pieces of stone together., mat its exqui si e proportions. It is even yet. in its decay, a sort of antique jewel, oin which Iany modern touch or addition, however kindly leant, Reemlls defacement. In lt fact, it is the rare property of all theso structures. but particularly of Neptune and Ceres, that the more you study S them the loss fault you can find with d them, arch itecturally speaking. There le is nothing too large or too small; noth y, lng that you would add or take away. de perfectlin ot-piroporI ion','and hiovi t10e'y mastered it so thoroughly, Is a perpetu xli al m)yster~y and.wonder, leA Ronmance from far Alaska. s-A young man who was in Alaska oseine fotur years ago fell in love with .the only young lady con the isiLand, a girl of 1lten,who was possessed of ~.extraordinary beauty, and wvhose hair 1. fell below her knees. hti e was un.. able to communIcate the "old, old se story" to her, for she did not under I- standc aL wordl o1 Eniglisht, nor did lhe a spea5k RIisslan. In his dlilcimmna the arrival of the p)ries ton his once-in-two Ityears visit was a God send, and to himn lie made known his love. The priest, ~knowing the young man to be possess8 0(1 of a high character andi a fair for tune, thought it was a lucky chane afor the young lady to escape fromt iire tof such isolation, and ho willingly perstuadedi the girl's mother (hier father was dead) to consent to the match, but t'Ld young lady herself was not to be gPersuaded. She argued that she had never spoken to the young man who expressed such a desire to be her hus ~band, and only seen him twice, and lie shad been on the isiand Only forty-eight Sdays, but her objections were over ruled, and the marriage took place. A fter living in Alaska for several cI months, the young man brought his brile to his home in Cleveland, Ohio. 'She was astonIshed at the fashions she s~ saw, and (detlared that nothing would induce her to wear her hair otherwise -than flowing--as shec had always wvorn [1 it.

Masses of stone weighing many tons are often dislodged in this way from the fanes of eliff-, and no one gives them more than a passing glance. When, however, the saniotity of the tomb is invaded, despite the graven Warning of the occupant the case is very difforent, and superstitious people are apt to think there must be some thing in It more than accident and the unconscious expression of the resistless force of growing vegetation. There is a monument in the Garten churchyard in Hanover, Germany, the invasion of which by a birch tree has been the oo casion ot much wonderment by count. ry people, who come from great dis tances to examine it. The monument, so unfeelingly dis rupted,, was erected In 1782, and bears on its base the following Inscription: 1 This grave, which was bought tot! all eternity must never be opened." A chance bird seed, lodging in a crevice of the monument, has displayed the Irony of nature in slowly yet surely thwarting the desire of the person who designed it for a perpetual memorial. All the joints are separated, the strong iron clamps are broken, and the birch tree has embraced the upper large block, which Weighs about one and a quarter tons, and the tree Is driving Its roots below, gradually but surely tilt Ing the structure. SOIL FOn THIE SU0A R-BEE'r. - For growing the sugar-beet the subsoil should be deep, to permit the root to penetrate deeply. If it be not deep, the rents will project above the grbund, and all the projecting portion will be deficient in sugar. There should be no standing water. The remedy is drain age. If too dry, of course growth is stunted or impossible. New or so called "virgin" soils are apt to contain injurious salts, which prevent either the formation of sugar or Its crystal Ization. This was one of the troubles in Illinois. Still, reports from new soil in Russia show excellent results. Sound land is not desirable. The soil must be.open and deeply cultivated to permit the beet to grow in the best shape-slender, and with only one tap root. Small stones cause forking,which is undesirable. Alluvial, sandy soils are excellent, as being open in texture and containing the proper nourish ment. Strong clay soils are not suit able, as apt to be wet and cold, and be come choked with fungus growths; a sandy loam does well. The more hu mus or mould it contains, the better. Lime may have the effept of preventing the formation of glucose In the root. Soil with, say, 25 per cent, of clay, 70 of sand, and 5 of carbonate of line, give good results. as being penetrable to air and water; 33 per cent. of clay, 45 of sand, and 22 of carbonate of lime, is also well liked. Clay soil generally gives a large yield of water beets,whilie liuy soil gives smaller crops and better, beets.

Farmers families who often depend upon thq ,butcher's meat cart for supplies ol .fresh meat, are annoyed by the bother and waste that comes of getting more beef or mutton than they can ' conve niently use up before It becomes tainted The most foolish waste It to eat mor of it than you need, with the idea ol "saving It;" the doctor's bill that ma result from overloading the dige*tiv( organs, Is ndt so good a show of econ on)y as fresh eggs yoiu might coax fron the hens by feeding them any excess oi meat. - The meat should first be wiped .iean and dry.
