If you hud planted another crop of cut-worms aud used commercial fertilizers itlerally uo doubt your cut-worm harvest would have been abundant and profitable. Most fertilizes contain ingredients especial ly adapted to the growth of cut-worms. If you had placed abuut a tablespoon ful of fertilizer under each i.abbage and tomato plant the older of the gu ano would have kept the worms away until the plants would have taken root aud grown some. It fwems that your greatest difficulty was in keeping a supply of the plants on hand, so I thiuk you can readily see that if you had adopted this plan your success would have been entirely different. Your cut-worms ate the tender plants ' before they contained much nourish ment, but if you had bought some gn- j denty anJ boldlv, ventured to say to auo it would have frightened them jjjn . away and the plants would have grjwn , uir wj you picase tell me where rapidly.

The requirements for the com fort of the inner man, too, have not been forgotten. Kitchens, storerooini, ice chests and t..e like have been fitted up in the most handy m.inn r imuiag inable. Each one of the four c.ifes is provided with a cellar capable of stor ing 2J0 tuns of wine. Everything about the structure i ab solutey fireproof, foriion is the ouly material that has been used in its con stiuctiou. Two thousand persons per hour can ascend and descend the stair cases leading to the platform, and 4,000 can find seats to res upon in the cafes at one time. The second story, which is sixty me ters above the first one, is also reached by four staircases built inside of the supporting columns which mak a sharp in want curve, leaving but 1.400 square meters ot surface for the niatfonu aud promenade. Here, too, is the com mo- dious and handsomely decorated cafe for thirsty and ti l Mzlvee-is m .v find I something more potent than Seine wa- ter to recuperate his strength. This s.ory is ninety-one meters above the tip. of tiie Notre Dame steeple, and uigher than the tower of the palace of the Troc;.dero, on the other side of the nver and, as may easily be imagined, the view of the surrounding country to j be had from such an altitude is almost j indescribable.

It has been es- tiraated that the ordinary eye can di- sceru objects seventy miles away, The tower terminates in what is known as the lantern, twenty-five me- ter above the third section, but this Pe has beeu set aside tor the use of the scientists for making observations. Vosiche Zeitung. 8b e Saw the Procession. The Germans have a story about a little girl named Jeanefte, wqo ouoi went to see a grand review. She found a capital place from which to see the soldiers pass; she noticed a poor old woman in the crowd- trying very hard to get where she could see; Jeanette said to herself: MI should like to see the soldiers march; but it isn't kind in me to stay in this nice seat and let that old woman stay where he can t see anything. I ought to honor old age aud J will. So she called to the old womm, and, plat ing aer in the nice seat, fell back among the crowd. There she had to tiptiie and peep, and dodge about- to catch a 'Iiruuse of the splendid scene, which he might nave seen fully and e.tsuy it she had kept ber place, borne of the oeoule said she was a silly girl, aud laughed at her; but Jeanette was re- warden in her heart for ner kindness to- old are. A few moments later a man, covered with lace, elbowed hit way through ti e crowd, and said to her: "Little girl, will vou come to her ladyship? bhe could not image who her ladyship-was. but she followed the man to the scaf fold within the crowd. A lady met her at the top of he stairs, and said: My dear child, I saw you yield your seat to the old woman. You acted nobly. Now sit down here! by me, you can fee everything here. Tnqs Jeanette' was rewarded a second time for honoring old age. The Holy Family." Good Hen ia Horway. I like the Norwegians. AIL travel ers here declare them ierfectly honest.
