corn matures, and should be planted about tbe
UU1C IIUIC.
QCAUTY.
The meat . should be red. close, tender and
sweet; the rind thin and brittle. Some of the
large, coarse, thick rinded melons are good
when in high culture, but they too often are
second rate, when the meat becomes coarse, full
of tendons and tough. They hybridize ery ea
sily, and but one variety had best be planted by
any one; but if more be planted they ahonld be
many hundreds of yards apart, and even then
the bees ami winds may mix the pollen.
SOIL.
I have given care to melons from my youth
up, and hae neer succeeded in getting two
first-rate crops from the same ground in succes
sion. I have found the blue-grass sod, well
turned nnder, tbe best soil for them; and next,
newly cleared land, though they may be raised
on any good corn land.
ctxTcne
At the first of May, in this latitude, tbe ground
should be checked by the plow, or other marker,
10 feet by 10, or, with large varieties, 12 by W
feet. If the proper land is used no manure is
needed; but, if old land or manure Is used, the
best is sand mixed with the vegetable debris of
forests, or well-rotted sods taken from fence cor
ners or highways. I have not found stable ma
nure to answer well, nor have I tried gnauo or
ground bones. In each cross of the lines a hill
shduld be made, one foot deep and three feet
Ml n are and four inches high, in which a dozen or
more seed should be pUnted, and then covered
over with the same soil (a little sand mixed
with it is letter) two inches deep. The weeds,
with light plowing, should lrt kept down through
tbeHeatou, never removing the iues from their
place, as the roots run under the shade of the
vine near the surface, and will perish with the
sudden exposure to the sun.
As soon as the seeds are planted and etmck
with the shovel to compact the surface, in order
to prevent the escape of moisture, I place shin
tries tinon each hill to tran the striped bug, the
great enemy of the vines. They seek tbe shelter
oi tlie suiugiea in tne cooi mguu, wuen wcu
eveninr- aud carlr mornine they must be turned
over and tbe bugs killed with a paddle. Many
crsons lail to raise melons uecause oi metm
buffs, which conceal themselves in the ground
and suck the juice of the young plants, and may
neerbe even seen till the whole crop is destroy
ed. An old melon raiser told me that he was in
the habit of making blazing fires in his melon
'round at nisht and that tbe bugs would fall in
to the flames and be killed; I lie, er tried it, fin
ding tbe shingle trap sufficient.
As soon as the plants are well np, you may be
gin the thinning, till, as they get pa-st the
chances of destruction by tLe bngs, and their
leaesare well formed, they must 1ms thinned to
tno plants in a hill. As the plants ad vauce, the
weeds must be kept well under before the iues,
but never touched behind tLem, as the ines
will not ndu.it of bchig handled or moed. I
think nearly the same weight of fruit will lie
produced without topping or bhorteuing the
linen, but if large specimen are wauted, after
the fruit is set the ends of the side shoots and
the matu runner ma lw piuehed off, s as to
force all the sap into the few melons left for ma
turity. It U best to cultivate the vines late iu
tlie afternoon, so that the roots Injured by the
cultivator, plow or hoe, can have the whole
night to recoer before the sin comes upon
tbem.
When ripe they should lj gathered early in
the morning, when cool, for the sun gives them
the dull sound whuh maturity produce. They
should lie thumped lightly with the fingernail,
when, if they sound with a mettalic ring, seam
ing to pass through the whole melon, they ar
et green; but if the ftotind is dull and seemingly
confined to the rind, the melon Is ripe. When
tlie belly next the ground is white, or the curl of
green fresh vines dead, the are also indica
tions of ripeness. The stems should bo cut Ioug
with a sharp knife, aud the melons placed in a
cool place till eaten, when they should lie cut
through the long axis into equal hahes, and
eachgneft furnished with one half and a silter
spoon, so they may all have some of the bent
parts of the melon", which in a good ripe melon
is the core.
Melons may be kept well till Xovember in this
latitude, in a cool cellar, and ou ice ery well
till January f el lowing. But I am in favor of
eating all things only in their regular time, as
the good Providence gives us some luxuries for
all seasons.
1EEI ANI VARIETY.
The seed should be saved only from the best
siiecimeus, well ripened, and en red in the bhade,
without washing, then put in bags and hung up
in a place of moderate temperature till planting
time. The best variety, after a life-time of trial,
I find, in this clime, to be what Gregory of Mas
sachusetts calls the icecream watermelon the
same I have from other sources heard called a
Persian melon size medium, ovate, rind green,
very thin and brittle; meat'purplUh nil, solid,
and ery sweet and delicate, seed small and
w hitc. There is an old Kentncky variety called
the ice-rind, with the same qualities as the Per
sian; rind not so green and seed brown: inclined
to be longer, and meat not so deep a red. These
are the best varieties I have ever tried, aud I
have tried tens of tens. The Mountain Sweet,
Mountain Sprout, and Jessamine Yellow seed,
aud other large varieties, are well for market,
but not forcpicure.
CAUTION.
As the frequent walkiug to the hills to kill
the bugs solidifies the surface, it ought to lie
lightly hoed toward the end of this operation.
No carcle persons shonld be allowed to cuter
the melon grounds, as a vine trod upon is nseless;
and the one who gathers the fruit should have a
Ioug stick to steady himself, and to displace the
leaves to find a place for the feet. It also often
happens that the ines on clean surfaces find
nothing to take hold of with their tendrils, and
are blown over by the wiuds and severely injur
ed. In such caethey should lie uprighted, aud
clods plared on the leaves to steady them, or
small sticks set near the ines for the use of ten
drils to lay hold of. Avoid walking on the
ground when quite wet, and never hill up or re
duce the height of the soil about the stems of
the vines. Make a blind near the melons, and
be seen there at times with a double-barreled
shot gun, but never shoot.
. ..
Kill the Potato Bugs.
It is important to destroy the first brood of po
tato beetles. This brood tomes from the ground
in early spring, aud the beetles soon lav their
orauge-coloreu eggs in clusters on the under side
of potato leaves. These eggs are readily found
by turning up the foliage with a hoe'handle,
aud picked off and destroyed. If this is omitted,
the larva or grnbs, soon hatch out, and begin
their rapid destruction. Poison iu some form
must now be need. The two leading insecti
cides are Pans Creen and L-oudou Purple, ltoth
are arsenic compounds. The "green is a manu
factured article, while the "purple" is a by-product
or refuse compound from the de factories,
aud therefore cheaper. These substances are
ued either dry or wet. Iu the former thev are
mixed with 30 to 00 times their balk of Hour or
plaster, and dusted or sifted on best while the
dew is on, or soon after m rain, that the wet fo
liage may retain the substance. Iu the wet me
thod, which is now generally preferred, the poi
siu is stirred in water a large tablespoonful or
so to the pailful and appliedthrough a sprink
ler, stirring it very frequently as it dues not dis
solve. The "bugs have have been in the pota
to growing regions so long that a full discussion
of the subject is unnecessary. It Is important
to rememlier that these arsenic comjiouuds are
deadly poivms, and to be ued with great cau
tion. Any "green" or "purple it is fortunate
that they have marked colors in the house,
shonld be put where no one cau ne them by mis
take, and outof reach of children. America Jgm

Haying Machinery.
The modern progressive farmer has many labor-saving
machine within his re-seh to aid him
iu making hay. The scythe is serviceable iu
cutting the grass in fence comers and around
trees, bnt further than this it docs best when
hanging out of harm's way in the barn. A rough
field is now seldom a giNMl excuse for not using
the horse mower. Ground too rough for this im-
1 dement, shonld be put in proper condition, or
eft as a nastnre. A "tedder" is a valuable aid,
as it facilitates drying, and therefore the qnick
houtingof ha, thus escaping storms that ruin
much hay made in the old slow hay. All of
these machines, from the mower to "the hor;
fork, shonld lie iu pMid trim for work before the
time for using them. Every holt, screw, hinge,
pnlley, ought to 1ms exaniiucd now and put in
place. This is proper work for the rainy davs,
le fore the grass is ready to cut. See to thre

BACCARAT.
The Game Which is Taking the Place of
Poker ! the Enl.
In certain circles In Xew York baccarat has,
to some extent, taken the place of our great
national game, loker. Baccarat is the fairest
f;ame that can be played against a bank. Therd
s uo zero aud double zero, as in roulette, nor U
there the "splits" of faro. The banker has ab
solutely notfiing in his favor except the "guess
ing" which his antagonist has to constantly
tierforoi. There is a general belief that it is
imiKMsible to cheat at baccarat, but this is quite
a mistake, although in clubs and gambling
places the possibility of cheating is reduced to a
minimum by the use of cards with monograms
upon them. Ilaccarat is played in Xew York
clnbs with four packs of cards, and before deal
iug, these cards are carefully shuffled by the
dealer. When the play begins, the banker gives
one card to the right, one to the left, and one to
himself, and then he repeats the operation;
court cards and teas count as zero, and if, with
his two cards, he can get nine, he wins all the
stakes placed upon the cards given to tbe players
on the right and left.
The cheating banker puts all the packs lieforo
him, with their backs to himself and their faces
to the players. Supposing that there Is a three
facing the player, the confederate notices this
as the "banker" nio.ea it to the topof tbe packs,
and as soon as a six appears at the liottoui of
the pack, the confederate makes a sign to the
"banker," who at once moves it to the top of
the packs taking care to place two cards be
tween it and the three and two cards above it.
When he deals, his own two card are conse
quently six and three, meaning nine, lie thus
arranges a herics of consecutive coups which he
Is certain to win. The cards are then haudled
to be cut, and by a trick, which consists of
pinching some cards and slipping others, which,
although impossible to explain, is not diflkult
in practice, lie annuls the cut, leaving his series
at the top of the pack, where he had placed It.
Au admit cheat can arrange a series without
anvverj lengthy shuffling.
The Jdajer cheats the banker in this way:
He puts a nine up his sleeve; when ho is given
two card, he takes the chance of one of them
being a ten or a court card. Supposing that he
gets a ten and a three, he taken the card up,
throws the three up Ins sleeve, and brings from
it the nine; then he exhibits a teu and a nine,
and thus wins. Any one with a very small
practice as a conjurer cau do this without fear
of detection.
Quite recently an pflkcr of the Itritidi army
was detected in cheating at bacarrat at the
Koairt Club. lie was in the habit of putting a
o uote just outside the line on which the
stakes were placed. If his card lot, he with
drew the note; if it won, he pushed the note
within the line. The club expelled him, as did
another club of which he was a member, and he
killed himself. His previous losses at baccarat
had been considerable. .Yrir York ionr.

ly diminished by its passage through a great
depth of atmosphere, or at any time of day
through a dark glass. It may also be seen in
the image of the sun formed when his ravsare
allowed to pax through a pin-hole and full upon
a sheet of paper at a considerable distance, and
has, in fact, tteen frequently noticed in the ima
ges formed by accidental apertures in the win
dow curtains, etc. Its appearance, as projected
from the eyepiece of the great equatorial at Al
legheny upon a screen, is that of a gigantic
whirlpool in the brilliant envelope of the sun.
Long filaments of light project into it, curving
with a spiral motion toward a central vortex,
which appears black in contrast with the daz
zling brightness of the surround iug surface.
XnmrrouH smaller spots surround the principal
one, aud several smiller group appear ou other
parts of the disc. The area of tho large spot,
determined from measurement of the image, is
in round numbers a thousand million square
miles.
Although the connection lietween the sun
spots ami the various phenomena of the aurora
is one of the most occult and mysterious in na
ture, that such a connection does exist, has been
confirmed by too many observations, to justify
us in considering the tremendous disturbance in
the activities of the sun indicated bv the an-
pearauce of this sjHit, and the magnetic storm of
ine morning ox tne i-tti, as intreiy cnance coin
cidences. Xearly every exceptionally brilliant
aurora which has appeared has followed some
such outburst of solar energy. Both have prob
ably their origin in the same hidden canse,
which remains one of nature's deepest myster
ies. The Great Pyramid.
IEichard A. I'roctor. who has been expound
ing his views on the nse of the great Py ramid of
Clieops in knowledge, claims that tne structure
was both a tomb and an astronomical observa
tory. When we remember, he says, that the as
tronomy of the time of Cheops wms essentially
astrology, and astrology a mort important part
of religion, we begin to see how the erection of
the mighty mass of masonry lor astronomical
I imposes maybe explained or, rather, we see
low, lieing certainly astronomical, it mnt lie
explained. Inasmuch as it is au astronomical
building, erected in a time when astronomy was
astrology, it was erected for astrological purpo
ses. It was in this sense a sort of temple, erec
ted, iudeed, for the ieculiar benctit of one man
or of a single dynasty ; but as be was a King in
a time wheu being a King meant a great deal,
what benefitted him he donbtless regarded as a
Wnefit to bis people; in whatever sense the
(Jreat Pyramid had a religions significance with
regard to him, it had also a national religious
significance.
There is no other theory of the Great Pyramid
which comes near to giving a common sense in
terpretation of the combined astronomical and
acuuUhral character of this wonderful structure.
Kit is certain m the one hand that the build
ing was built astronomically, and was meant
for astronomical observation, it is equally cer
tain that it wms meant for a tomb, that it was
closed in very tuion after the King died for whom
it wa built, that, in tine, its astronomical val
ue related to himself a lone. As an astronomi
cal edifice, gigantic horoscope for him and for
him only, we can understand its purport, much,
though we may marvel at the vast expenditure
of care, lalwrand treasure at which it was erect
ed. Granted full faith iu astrology (and we
know there was snch faith), it was worth while
to build even such a structure as the Great Pyr
amid; just as, granted the ideas about burial,
we can understand the erection of so mighty a
mass, and all save it special astronomical char
acter. Of no other theory tlinn that which com
bines these two strange but most marked char
acteristics of the Kgvptian mind can this be
said.
Mrs. Job.
The world has been sympathizing with Job
for two thonsaud vears, and pitying hi suffer
ings and tnbnl. itious, but hardly a thought
seems to have been taken of Mrs. Job and her
trials, which mutd have been of no ordinary na
ture. True, she didn't have any boil, her hus
band, with true masculine selfishness, appropri
ating them all to himself, but she had to wait
on him, and listen to his complaints day aud
night. It would have tried the patience of a
saint to have been compelled to live In the same
house with a man burdened with such a wealth
of afflictions as Job was And it is hardly to lie
woudervd at that, goaded to desperation, his
wife ue clay advised him to throw up the game
and pass in his checks. Almost any woman
would have done the same thing, nnder the cir
cumstances. There see mi to have been a con
stant stream of people coming to see Job to con
dole with him. Xot only did the-aeighbor drop
in continually, to see how he was getting along,
each one with a different remedy fur boils, but
relatives came from a longdistance, and of
course, they had to be entertained aud fed.
This made a great deal of work for Mrs. Job,
who, on account of her husband's extraordinary
losses, couldn't afford to keep a hired girl. Had
she not been a remarkable woman, she never
could hare gone through with it. CYa. Saturday
