The Desert ot Iahar. This trail of country so far from be. Ing a desolate plain of moving sand, as t populary believed, the fiahara is a cul. tivated country, fruitful as the Garden of Eden. Like our "great American desert," it has been greatley belied. El Sahr, as the Arabs pronounce It, is indeed a vast archipelago of oases, off ering an animated group of towns and villages. A large belt of fruit trees surrounds each of these villages, and the palm, the fig, the date, apricots, pomegranates, and vines abound in the utmost profusion. Ascending the Atlas mountains by a gradual slope to the f region of high table-lands, we come to the land of the Mozabites, or Bon Mozab, and then comes a gradual descent for three hundred miles to the vast stretch of treeless country known - as the great desert. The rivers have an Inclination of about one foot in four hundred. Many of the streams are dry, except after rains, when they deluge the country. Gun-shots are fired as soon as the torrents appear ; all I objects are removed, and soon, with a terrible noise, the Rood rolls on. The baharian city stands as if by magic on the banks of the waters which rise to the tufts of the palm tree; but a few days only elapse ere all disappears, leaving the district rich and fruitful. The inhabitants are not a migratory people, and unlike the tent dwellers of the northern slope, live In substantial houses with thatched roofs and ceilings of cane laid upon Joists of oliye wood. These house generally consits of but one room, and have no furniture except mats on the floor and upon the walls for three or four fiet high. Beds aie sometimes found, but no ono thinks of sleeping on them. The walls are white washed and inscribed with verses from C the Koran. The inhabitants are made up of genuine Arabs. and Berbers, or Kabyles, as the French call th em. .J ews are found in every oasis, and all very prosperous and influential, doing much I of the trading and making up of the great caravans.

Ac the Nile sometimes fails to reach its annual high-water mark, so the greit. Cloud gathering of the Indian Ocean occasion ally disappoints the anxious people of the peninsula and pases away with in. sufficient gifts of moisture. It is how ever, of excellent omen when as in the present season, the sca-borii vapors collect thickly and in goo(l timie, and break with a iast convulsion of the atmosphere. There Is no longer any such mystery about this yearly phe nomenon as prevalled in old days,when Sinbad navigated the Arabian waters, or when liippalus the Greek made bold to spread his sal before the strange winds which blew so steadfastiy toward Muzeilis, the "port of spices.' The southwest monseon ia now as weill understood by science as the move ment of a church clock.

But tihe hot months of April and May heat the surface of southern Asia so that the atmosphere above it expands5 and rises. T1he colder air from the India O.can thereupon flows up to supp)ly the vacuum. TIo the north of the eqjuator the revolution of the earth lends this cu rrent a westerly deviation andl tihe result is a long and( steady stream of wind, wvhiich laden with the clouds raisedl from tihe wide Arabian Sea, drives and piles these water bearing masses in serried ranks against the Western Ghauts of india, where, about the beginning of .June, they gather In a dark canopy, cover-I ing the sky far andi near.

Gning West. in the law ?filee of John S. Spencer, at Canandaigua, New York, in 1831-32, were four young law students, to for -tune and to fame unknown.

IIere lie stuck fast, and whiile waiting tihe expiration 01 tile six mionths prescribed by the Ohio laws before a citizen of another State can he0 admntted to plrae tice in her courts, hue was surprised by a call from his fellow students.

"Well one of you1 can atay here with me; another of you can go further to the little French villaige called Ddtroit, andi the other Can push81 on to a new place they call Chiengo, on the site of old Fort Dearborn." After a little consultation this plan wais agreed on. Th'le one who wenit to the "little French viilage'' was George C. Bates; lhe who went further on was Stephen A. Douglass, who went to Springfield Instead of Chicago, making a miistake, while lie who remained inl Cleveland was Henry B. Payne.

WHAT THz FARMRS RAZS.-In IfI eon years the production ot wheat an arley in the United States has trebled orn, cotton, aud tobacco more th'a loubled, oats increased nearly 140,000 00 bushels, potatoes nearly doublej Ind hay increased more than one hird. The report gives the figure or the chief crops in 1805 and 186M zcording to which the product,io of wheat has increasedfrom 144,553, 00 bushels in the former year to 48,757,000 in the latter; corn rom 704,427,000 to 1,044,899,000; oats rom 225,252,000 to 304,203,000; rye rom 19,544,000 to 22,640.000; barley rom 11,291,00 to 40,184,000; potatoes renm 104,032,000 to 181,3139,000; ha; rorm 23,638,000 tons to 35,648,000 obacco from 184,317,000 pounds to 884, 59,000, and cotton from 2,223,000 bale * 5,020,000. Tihe remarkable increas n the production of cereals*has 'beej argely owing to the settlement an levelopment of the western and north vestern states. Within the presen ,eneration the centre of corn produc ion has shifted iroin the south to thi vest, and of wheat production from thi Riddle states to the far west. In 1849 0 per cent., and in 1859, 52 per cent of the corn crop of the country wa )roduced in the southern states.

Thi norease of the tobaco crop has beea hietly in the south, where tie produc Ion increased 100,000,000 pounds fron 870 to 1878. D:riIg the same perIo4 lie yield of cotton increased from 5 12.000 bales to 5,216,00. This increasi vas mainly in Arkansas, and Texas he crop of the former state swellin) rom 111,000,000 pounds In 1870 to 318, 00,000 In 1878, int that of the latte tate irom 157,000,000 in 1870 to nearl1 OJ,000,000 in 1878. According to tho uporG already cited, only about 9 pe ent. of ou ientire grain crop Is export i, including 24.76 per cent, of thi vieat and 6.49 per cent. of the cori iroduced. The exports have rapIdJ3 ncreased in the past few years, and an ikely to increase In the future, espec ally If the co.st of transportation shal i> reduced. Thus, the total exports o ,11 ereals Increased fron 39,000,001 usihels in 1868 to 189,000,000 in 1878 bout 3 per cent. of the national prod ct was exported in 1863, and nearli I per cent. in 1878.

Two things, however, are neces ary for success: First, the glass tuat be kept quite level in the water rhile the scissors are applied; and eeondly, to avoid risk, it Is better to erform the cutting by cropping off mall pieces at the corners and along he edges, thus reducing the form radnally to that required-for If any ttempt be made to cut the glass at nee to a proper shape, as one would ut a cardboard, it will most likely racture where it is not wanted. The ofter glasses cut best; and the sois ors need not be very sharp. When he operation goes on weil the glass reaks away from the scissors in mall pieces In a straight line with the lades.
