The place where royal falcons were housed in the early days of falconry in England, therefore, was known us \the mews.\ From the time of the second Richard kings kept a private mews. In that same Kicuurd'a time Sir Simon Burley, Knight of the Garter, was falcon-keeper of tho royal mews, and tho name has ever since been passed down without a single break in the office. The position is an ancient one, and in early days was a valuable gift of royalty. Tho practical ma £ at the mews is the superintendent, Mr. Norton, who comej next to the crown equerry, Colonel Sir George Maude, K. C. B., at the royal mews, or, to explain, the royal stables, Buckingham Palace. His duties are to atteud to tho general working details of tho establishment, and the position, as there are nearly eighty men bu9y con tinuously, is no sinecure There are half i dozen coachmen, live irregular helpers to them, five-and-tliirty livery men and 13 many more outlivcricd ones. This is outside the Windsor coachmen. The royal stab.es shelter an almost in- sredible number of horses as well as car riages, and the royal riding-school, where ill the children of the royal house learn ;o ride very early in life. Of course falcous are no longer tho teasoa for the existence of acy raews. Instead, there arc 350 horses to be looked iftcr, outside of the Queen's private itock of thoroughbreds. In 1825 George IV. built the present :ommodious quarters at Buckingham Palace, on the north side of the Buc'i- .uguain P.ilacc road They are not par ticularly attractive from an architect's itundpoint.

Let us now leave the school and glance briefly at a few ot the coa ;'Uc3. Naturally the first coach to view is the \state coach \ Tins vehicle has figured for over a hundred yeurs in England's pageants It is au elaborate, unwieldy old affair, with panels painted by one of the greatest artists of the eighteenth century. To an American it looks like a circus coach in a menagerie sawdust play It is undoubtedly splendid, as it cost altogether tiearly £S0UU, or, in our Yankee reckoning, about $40,000—a tidy sum that It was used at the crown ing of George III , Geor.'e IV , William IV and Queen Victoria. Tnose sov ereigns generally employed the coach to open Pailinmeut. Qneeu Victoria never took to it much. She used it when she dined with the Lord Mayor of London soon after her marriage. Jt was also used at the opening of the Great Crystal Pal ace Exposition of 1851 It was drawn by eight cream-colored horses, with har ness trappings of red morocco and blue ribbons. It was such an uncomfortable old uff lir that the Queen had to have the seats made thicker and softer, and foo:-siools provided for her feet. It rumbled along on its too-strong springs, and made the Queen by its motion as seasick as a Calais steamer across the channel would have done. Therefore the Prince Consort arranged ,i semi-state conch on the royal visit ti Dublin in 1852 The Lord Mayor of Loudon was a retired couch builder. The Prince Consort ordered this carriage buill at once It is n grand coach, and is painted and deenrated in most exquisite design 5, and, more to the purpose, it is delight fully comfortable Never since the Prince Consort died has the Queen used any but this for extra state occasions. Its last use was on the marriage of the Prince of Wales's eldest daughter with the Duke of Fife. It was then drawn by two favorite bays of the popular PriDce of Wales. The dress coaches are used generally, and of these there are eleven very like the semi-state, save that they are le33 decorated They were used by the Shah on his Londou visit, also the German Emperor. Of all the ccacbes the \public landau\ is the most interesting to those Ameri cans wh o were in London during the jubilee summer and who saw tho Queen drive to Westminster in that landau. This celebrated vohicle is a posting landau, and drawn by B'IX of the cream- colored horses so dear to her majesty. It is driven by postillions. Along with the landau there arc seventy other carriages for private use. These are driven by postillions as well.—San Francisco Chronicle. Water Care for Bats. A Country Gentleman correspondent has bad great success with the following plan Fill a barrel one-third full of bran and water, mixed stiff enough to bold A rat on it; let them feed a couple of nights, then make them another mess in tho same barrel of nearly all water. When one goes in down goes Mr. Rat, and the next, not knowing his brother's Valuable iiolcs. A hole is a hard thing to put into o collection of minerals, but there are o few holes in certain cabinct9 that are among the most prized of their contents. It must be added, however, that thej have enough surrounding material tc prove that they are holes. They arc- called fulgurites, and they are made by lightning. A thunderbolt striking into a stmd heap or sandy soil is sometimes hot enough to vitrify, or turn into glass the silicious matter that it penetrates,so that you have a glass tube just as big around as a lightning flash. The largest of theso tubes known is about three feet in diameter, but commonly they are less bad luck, follows suit. In the morning j than an inch in thickness.

A s Bee r Grow Scarcer Kattlcsnakes Become More Plentiful. \Everybody who lives in the wooded counties of central and northern Penn sylvania knows\ that rattlesnakes have ' been getting thicker and thicker, everjrj year-for-years-past,\ said a Lycoming | County lumber operator, \and observant ' woodsmen say and insist that the cause ! of this is tho thinning out of deer iu the woods. A blacksnake, as much as it hales a rattlesnake, doesn't hate it more than a deer does, especially buck deer. Deer will hunt rattlesnakes as persist ently as a good dog will hunt birds. When a deer once gets his eye on a rat tler that rattler's fate is scaled, as sure as he is a rattler. A rattlesnake seems to know that it is no use trying to get away when a deer has spotted him, and he prepares for a fight at once. The deer knows the snake will fight, and waits until the rattler throws itself into its coil to strike, and then literally gets on to it with both feet. The deer rises on its hind feet and comes down on the snake with both of its sharp forefeet,and seldom fails to kill the rattler instantly. After killing the snake, if there are no other rattlers near requiring its atten tion, the deer will cut it to piecc3 with its hoofs \In tho fall of the year, when tho snakes are returning to their dens, and in the spring, when they are leaving them, deer station themselves at the entrances of the dcus or near them and kill rattlesnakes by the hundred Thus, wheu deer were numerous they undoubt edly kept the rattlesnakes population greatly reduced in numbers every year. \Old hunters say that even if a rattle snake succeeds in biting a deer the poi son has no effect upon it. That may bo truo as a rule, but I have good reason to believe that there may be exceptions to it. I came upon the carcass of a big buck, one fall, lying in the woods in Clinton County. It was greatly swolleu. I at first supposed that the deer had been mortally wounded by some hunter, and bad escaped the dogs and died without being discovered, but, looking closer, I saw a rattlesnake's fang in one of the dead deer's no3trils, fast in tho flesh. The deer, to my mind, had attackoJ a rattlesnake,and the snake had succeeded in burying its fangs in his nose. The deer, jerking his head back, had torn one of tho fangs from the reptile's jaw The venom had been injected, however, and the deer died froai its effects \— New York Sun. A HOME-MADE JKCOBATOrt. An incubator may be made of any simple box with double sides and lined with flannel or felt to retain the heat. The beat is provided by a tin box to be filled with hot water, and the eggs are put in a woolen-lined box or a shelf above the heater. Care is to be taken to regulate the heat so that it does not ex ceed 101 degrees or fall below eighty degrees. The latter can only be per mitted for a short time once a day.— New York Times. TRUNIXO THE noots. When a tree has reached a fruit bear ing size and shows no symptoms of lruit bearing disposition, but instead throws out vigorous branches, root pruning is a very efficacious mode of checking growth. In highly cultivated gardens where trees are planted and the roots have access to the rich soil.au immense crop of btaoches will he produced and little if any fruit. Root pruning will check such growths most effectually aud render the trees fruitful. If done in August the supply of sap will immediately be lessened, the wood maturing principle accelerated and fruit bmis formed. The operation has been performed in spring with very little benefit, but if done in the autumn can not fail in producing the desired results. —Horticultural Times. The Highest Inhabited Spot. Until within the pa3t few years the highest inhabited plice in the world has beeu credited to Thibet, where people dwell at an altitude of 15,117 feet above the sea level. Tuis is about the summit of Mount Blanc, the highest mountain iu Europe. South America then came to the fr„i, with its claim La Paz, Bolivia's capi tal, 12,220 feet above the sea level, and Potosi, in the same country, is 1000 feet higher. P.isco, Peru, which his OT al titude of 15,000 feet, was considered the highest iuliuoite I spot in South Amer- ica> Tho village of Galera, also in Peru, was shown, however, to be 15,G35 feet above the sea, and it has, until within a few weeks, boasted that its altitude ex- I cceded that of any other d.veiling place I in tho world | It can no longer make this boast, for 1 word has just been receive 1 in this city | that Mr Arthur E Poarcc, au engineer I who has been prospecting aud making | meteorological observations in the Andes, lias come across two mining camps which are even higher thau Galera. They are named Vicharrayal aad Mus- capata, the former 15,950 feet above sea level aud the latter 1G,15S Each camp has a population of about two hundred miners the year round. Galera owe3 its existence to the Galera Tunnel of the Paraua and Oroya Hail- road, of Peru, whicn pierces the moun tain at that poiul, which is the summit of the road. This railroad, however, is to bo sur passed by a nurrow gauge road, which is now being built to connect with it, and which will reach au altitude of 15,850 feet at it highest point Near Galera there are five mining cauip3, all the property of one company aud connected by telegraph lines wnicn, are said to b'j tho highest ia tho world. These lines pass over two summits of more than 17,000 feet, and the mean height of the lines is more than 10,000 feet. — New York Herald. no w TO CATcn A SHEEP. Catching a sheep requires more sense thau is usually practiced by unthinking, careless, and ignorant people. It is usu ally done by grabbing tho wool and holding the scared, struggling animal until worried out. This is all wrong, and is cruelty personified. The pain is akin to pulling the hair, and the blood shot under the skin would astonish the | thoughtless catcher. A noted Vermont : sheep-breeder had n boy who had been l instructed how to catch a sheep, but had I failed to remember. In the presence of I the breeder one day he caught u sheep in ! the old way—by the wool. Ths breeder ! gave him another lesson—he took the I boy roughly by the hair of the bead and I yanked him out of the barn in a Jltfy\. j The boy was indignant, and wasytold it I hurt him no worse than he had hurt the ! sheep. Such a lesson should be given j everybody who has no more sense.— ' Atucr can Farmer. commercial fertilizers can bo drilled I D with tho seed. But oats are a grain crop so low priced that it pays less for extra fertilizers than any other. Most farmers prefer to use commercial manures on wheat or barley, letting the oat forage for itself on what fertility can bo dovel oped by good preparation of tho seed bed. If oat roots are stimulated by a little phosphate in spring, they will leave the ground poorer for the follow ing crop of wheat thau it would bo t o postpone tho pho3phating until the winter grain is sown.—Boston Cultiva tor. Writiu? Willi the Left Hand. The number of mea woo cau write legibly with the left haad is very small in this countiy, where the fact of being ambidexterous is not appreciated at its full worth Sir El win Arnold remarked while in St Louis that in Japin every child is taught to write with either and both hands, and he hititel that this was not the only evidence of sound common sense he met with while in the kingdom of the Mikado. I learned to write with my left hand some years ago, in consequence of the impression created in my mind by read ing the arguments of Charle3 Reade on the subject, and now I change my pen from hand to hand on the first impression of weariness. There have been many remedic3 sug gested for what is known as writer's cramp, and many writers alternate be tween the pen aud the typewriter, but the simplest plan of all is to acquire the art of writing with either hand, and change from one to the other oa tho first suspicion of fatigue. It is quite easy for a child to learn to write with the left hand, and although after the muscles have got set with age it is more difficult, almost any man can learn to write with bis left hand in a week, and to write about as well with one hand as the other in less than a year —St. Louis Globe-Democrat. '• now T O SPOI L noser. Iloney without flavor is the rule and not the exception So common is it to find honey only sweet that it has little more popularity than molasses, millions of persons not being aware that perfect honey, like the best butter, should have a delicate and delicious flavor—an indi viduality which nothing else can obtain. How is it that so much poor honey is abroad? Do the bees make it or is it artificial? Neither Man's ignorance or csiitltssuess damage good honey, antici pate its maturity or prevent its proper ripening Sit down to ntciost any bee keeping farmer's table, and if his honey is not devoid of flavor it is tainted with mustioess or impregnated with the odor ol something worse, ninety times out of a hundred. It was removed too soon from the hive, or, taken at the proper time, was put in the cellar, or allowed to freeze or granulate. None of these conditions should be allowed to occur if the owner expects an extra article and price to correspond. Removed in good order from the hive, put it at onco in a clean, sweet place where it cau absorb no odor, not even that of new pine or paint, keep it from currents of nir, from light and from freezing. The cetlar,dark or light, is among worst places.—Now York Tribune. POTATO DEGENERATION. Except with those who desire to originate new varieties,the potato is pro pagated from the tubers, and with some sorts this is kept up so continuously it is sometimes said that if fuvoralle con ditions of culture and soil were always oflered, a variety will not run out from natural degeneracy. Whether this be true, theoretically or not, experience has shown that under the common methods of culture aud selection of seed which have been practiced by farmers, varieties that were once the best known and most valued have degenerated or run out to such an extent that their numcs are scarcely ever mentioned. Among some of these old-!imer3 may be named the Nashanncck and the Long John, the first not surpassed for general excellence, nor the latter for great pro ductiveness and long-keeping qualities by any of our newer sorts Later came the Penchblow, to bear the palm for a few years and then fall into comparative obscurity. N o better evidence of habitual degeneration in the potato can be adduced thun the fact that our pre vailing types are seedlings of more mod ern origin. Another characteristic of the potato plant deserving of mention and difficult to account for is the scarcity of bloom and seed oalls in most of the new varieties as compared with those of fifty yeurs ago.—New York World. eOWTNG OATS BY HAND. Since the drill came into use i t bos be come the fashion to sow all grain with it. An exception may, we think, prop erly be made of oats. If the ground hi s been properly fitted it is almost impossi ble to drill oats without covering the seed too deeply. The oat ground ought always to be rolled after the crop comes up. If it has been drilled this breaks down tho ridges and covers the seed deeper than ever. On the other hand, sown carefully by hand by a good sower tho oats can be distributed as evenly as with a drill. After dragging the plowed surface to level it down sow the oats by hand and cover with the smoothing har row. It will cover them at a nearly uniform depth of one inch. If rain comes so as to paek tho ground, go over it with the smoothing harrow again. Thus treated, oats will yield as large u crop as the land is capable of producing. The only advantage of the grain drill for oats is that with a fertilizer attachment FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Feeding tho hens sulphur helps tho batching. Lice and rats are the two worst ene mies of the setting hens. Exclusive corn feeding often causes leg weakness- with young poultry. The London Garden claims that wind and showers as well as sunshine promote color in apples. It is difficult to get cattle ready for market early now unless they have been wintered in good condition. With young pullets it is often a good plan to let thesu set a day or two before putting the egg3 under them. Until tho steer is two years old he should be fed with the view of promot ing growth rather than fatness. To thoroughly know what ration you can make up and feed to the best advan tage a careful test is necessary. Too much grain is often fed at a loss; this is often tho case especially in feed ing whole grain to fattening cattle. Sending stale egg3 to market is a good way to get a reputation that will stick to you after you are tired of it. Tho estimate for the cost of tho food of the confined fowl is the equivalent of a bushel and a half of corn per annum. Whole straw i3 better than hay as a hen material, but either one is preferablo to that which is run through a cutting box. When your birds have bowel disease, change the food a day or two.and change grit, one-half the troubles arc from lack of sharp, hard grit. You can raise more chickens with tho same labor later in the season, but they will not bring as much money if intended for the market. J. H. Hale, whose success in fruit culture is well known, recommends check row culture for strawberries and rasp berries to all who have the land. Don't permit hogs and fowls in tho same yard. If the fowls don't eat tho hogs, the bojjs will eat the fowls. In either case the food costs more than it comes to. Wheat is one of the best feeds you can give your fowls to produce eggs; it is also good to feed young chicks after they are a week or two old, for their cveniug feed. Many beginners get discouraged m at tempting to improve the quality of their hogs because prices get low, but this should only be an inducement for further development. The nests of sitting hens aro often tho prolific breeding places of lice. Keep them clean, dust with insect powder, and burn the nest filling as soon as the brood is out. Do not try to keep too many breed 8 of fowls. You will succeed better with one or two varieties, with good atten tion, than by trying to keep a dozen sorts and' neglectiDg them Milk is the be3t article of food we can give our fowls, and for farmers to feed it to their hog3 is a mistake, as the re turns will not equal one-half what would be received if the milk wero fed to the hens. Air-slaked lime, dusted freely about the poultry yard, is au excellent pre ventive of disease in warm weather. Another is to have a good supply of clean drinking water always where tho fowls can help themselves. The recommendation is often made that the boiling of small potatoes in a kettlo of wuter and applying tho liquor therefrom on all stock troubled w*ih lice will destroy the parasites. A writer says that he washed his cattle with it fre quently and in ten years' experience never found it to fail. The Paradise Fish of Chinn. The oddest of all piscatorial rarities is the paradise fish of China. Like the German canary and one or two other species of bird and fish, this little finny beauty is the production of cultivation only, there being no place in the world where it is found in a wild stato. In the land of the dragon they are kept and cultivated in ornamental aquariums, each succeeding generation of the little oddi ties exhibiting more diversified colors. The male is the larger of the two sexes, measuring, when full grown, three and a half inches. The body is shaped very much like that of a common pumpkin seed sun fish, its color surpassing in brilliancy any fish heretofore cultivated for the aquarium. The head cf Macro- podus (that is his generic name) is ashy gray, mottled with irregular spots. The gills are azuriue blue, bordered with brilliant crimson. The eyes are yellow and red, with a black pupil. , Tho sides of the body and the crescent shaped caudal fin arc deep crimson, the former having from ten to twelve vertical blue stripes, while the latter is bordered with blue. The upper surface of tho body is continually changing color—sometimes it is white, at others gray, black er blue. The dorsal and anal fins are remarkably large, hence its genoric name: Macro, large; pod us, fin or foot. Both fins aro shaped alike, and are striped with brown and bordered with a bright blue. Tho dull colored ventral fins are protected by a brilliant scarlet colored spine, extend ing three-fourths of an inch behind tho body of the fin. The pectoral fins are well shaped, but transparent and color- lees.—Chicago Herald.

It regulates and promotes their ac tion, and removes the obstruc tions and Suppressions which cause trouble anil misery. At the two critical periods m a woman's life — the change from girlhood to woman hood, and, later, the \ change of life \ — it is a perfectly safe and an es pecially valuable remedial agent, that can produce only good results. It's a powerful, invigorating tonic, and a soothing and strengthening nervine ; a legitimate medicine — purely vegetable, perfectly harm less— and carefully adapted, by an experienced physician, to woman's delicate needs. For all the derangements, irregu larities, and weaknesses peculiar to the sex, the \ Favorite Prescription \ is a remedy so certain that it can be f/itarantecil. If it doesn't give satis faction in every case, the money is returned. No other medicine for women is sold in this way. No other medicine can bo. »flakes Child Birth Easy.; , * Shortens Labor, * I!
