Uuldo's Model.
When Guido sent his picture of St.
Michael to the Cappucini iu Rome, he
wrote as follows concerning it: "I wish
I had the wings of an angel to have as
cended into Paradise, and there to have
beholden the forms of those beatified
spirits from which I might hvo copied
my archangel; but not being able to
mount so high, it was in Tain for me to
search for his resemblance here below;
so that I was forced to niske an intio
spection into my own mind, and into
that idoaof beautv which I have formed
in my owu imagination." It is said that
this was always his method to try
represent some ideal btanty rather than
to reproduce the actual loveliness of any
living model. Ho would pose his color
grinder, or any persou at his cou uiand,
in the attitude he desired, nud, after
drawing the outline from them, he
would supply the beamy aud the ex
pression from his owu imagination
This accounts for the sameness iu bis
heads; his women aud children are
pretty, his men lack dignity; and we
feel this especially in his representations
of Christ. .
It is said that ou one occasion a noble
man, who was very fond of the painter
Guercino, went to Guido, at the reqnest
of his favorite artist, to ak if he would
not tell what beautiful woman nus the
model from which he painted ail the
graces which appeared iu his works. Iu
reply, Guido called his color-grinder,
who was a dirty, niily-lookiug fellow;
be made him sit down and turn his head
to look up at, the sky. He theu sketched
a Magdalen in the same attitude, and
with the same light und shadow as fell
on the lijiiy incdel; but the picture bad
the beauty and expression which wight
suit a i angelic being. The noblemuu
thought this was done by eomo trick,
but Guido said: "No, my dear count;
but tell your painter thut the beautiful
and pure idea must be in the hcail, and
theu it is no mutter what the model is."
Considering the work of this artist
with tho cooler and more critical jnilg
meut made ossiblo by the lapse of so
many years, the truth seems tj be tli .t
Guido wus not a truly great painter,
but he had a lofty cr.cepti"U of beauty,
and tried to reach it in his pictures.
In his tt-t Work there is no full dej tli
of meaning, und a great sameness of ex
pression marks them as the pictures ol
an artist lucking originality and inven
tive power. f. St. Nicholas

He pines after his grandmother, who

Of ( lassie Origin.
Few ladies who wear polka dots have
any knowledge of their classic origin.
The polka dot, we are told by a learned
correspondent, is a copy of the ancient
chrysoolavus, or golden nail head,
which in early church times was one of
the emblematic ornaments embroidered
in ecclesiastical vestments and lobss,
and later a purple patch like a broad
nail head was worn upon the outer gar
ments by the old Roman dignitaries.
At first it was observed as a mark of
dignity, and "ola'i" of gold on rich
silken textiles of Tyriau dye could be
worn only by the nobles. Imbued by a
spirit of emulation, the wealthy then
demanded silken tuffs sprinkled all over ,
with large round spotr; and so, from the '
sacred chrysoclavus, or golden nail
head, we have come in modern times to
bestrew our cotton dresses with polka
dots.

.Illtiiiikea Iu I'alug Manure.
In my method of using stable manure,
mainly to help the clover, I aim to
make a little go us far as possible. If
I had a good deal I should certainly
apply it all ; but 1 wish to cover or par
tially cover as much ground as possible. '
If I had only a loud per acie, I should
try to spread the load over as large a
part as possible, rather than dump it in
ouo comer. Yet I find the contrary
prcutieo quite prevalent. The drawing
out of manure is mostly entrusted to
hired help, and it is one of the things
that most employes -will not do well.
Only yesterday I saw a man and team
drawing ruanurj for wheat at the rate
of fully twenty-two horse loads per
acre, uu amount that I should be glad
to get for my corn and potatoe ground.
Close by this throe ucre piece thus
heavily manured is another field of ien
acre", owned by the sumo furmc r, that
will get nothing except a dressing of
phosphate drilled in with the wheat.
What will bo tho result ' Whore sixty
loads wt re Hppliot to threo acre's the
wheat will fall down, probably fill im
perfectly, and p irtly smother the clover
seeding. Ou the ten acres not top
dressed tho clover will be stunted and
poor. The sixty loads of fine manure
would huvo made a fuir top-dressing for
thirteen acres, would have given more
wheut, aud probably twice the clover
growth a year hence that there will be
now. In the spring there is loss disad
vantage in concentrating tho manure
ou a small pait of the tilled field, and
there may often be good reasons for
making a small tie hi as rich as possible ;
but iu the fall, for top-dressing wheat,
and especially where clover is to be
sown iu the spring, tho advantage is
altogether iu covering the whole sur
face us nearly as possible. Cor. Coun

The whi it plant requires three things
t i bring it, to perfection, viz ; heat. air.
Hid moisture to withhold either of
which is to defeat the jnd ia view. Y'on
may sow wheat in dry dust, and it will
fuil to germinate. Subject it toa slight
legrce cf moisture, aud, ulthough it
will vegetate, it will come up sickly
and wt.ir a sickly appearance, from
which it rarelv if ever recovers. Aud
so, by subjecting it to too much moist
ure, the excess of wuter will dilute it to
such a degree us to destroy whut little
amount of plant food the kernel con
tained. Give a kernel of wheat all the
soil, light, und air that it needs, and
keep it iu a temperature of thirty do
glees or under, aud its germinating
principle will be held in suspense ; and
so, on the other hand, too much heat
will destroy the germ as realily as too
much cold or too muoh moisture. From
the above facts wo may learn some use
ful lessons in regard to tho depth of
putting in wheat, us well as to the
proper time of sowing the former de
pending somewhat cn the dryness of
the ground aud tho latter on its tem
perature. As soon as germination takes place
two sets of organs are set to work, the
one (the spire) rearing its head above
ground to get light and air, and the
other (the root) groping its way under
ground and throwing out its tiny fingers
in sesrch of food, and in doing so per
f rmiug the work of the most practiced
chemist ; for, on meoting with a combi
cation of too I elements (some of which
nre exactly suited to the wants of the
plant, while others aro not), it deftly
separates the good from the bad, assim
ilating that which Is desirable aud re
jecting that which is hurtful.
To s'udy the effect of water upon the
plunt is also instructive. No substance
is available as plant food unless in solu-1
ble condition, and therefore if water is
wanting, the plant suffers aud dies, be
cause the little rootlets canr.ot absorb
its nourishment unless in liquid form.
And so, if the water be in excess, it
dilutes the plant food to such an axtent
as to destroy its nourishing effect, con
sequently the plant bocoms enfeebled
and perishes ; or when the water be
comes stagnant, it renders the food so
repulsive that the plant in rejeoting it
suffers for the want of proper nourish
ment and dies.
The process of the tillering of the
plunt has much to do with its produc
tiveness. As soon as the parent ctem
forces itself above ground and throws
out its first leaflet to the light and air,
a slight enlargement of the lower end
of the stem takes place, from whioh are
thrown out a cluster of little rootlets,
which, finding more nourishment than
the plant requires, foroe np otker
sprouts to appropriate the excess, form
ing what is called a "stool" of stems
from the same roc t. This "stooling"
has muoh to do with the successful
growing of wheat, and may be effectu
ally promoted by careful selection of
the seed and giving it the
room.

A Georgia Coin-Sliiuking.
The farmer who proposes to give a

lot, conveniently near the crib, rakes

shuckers iuto two par'ies, later comers
reporting alternately to ouo side or the
other, so as to keep the forces equally
divided. The next stop, which is one
of great, importance, is to divide the
corn-pile. This is done by laying a
fence-rail across the top of tho corn
pile, si that the vertical pluue, passing
through the rail, will divide the pile
into two equal portions. Laying tho
rail is of great importance, since upon
this depends tho accuracy of the
division; it is accompanied with much

which to cheer their followers, is one

Japanese Houses.
A Japaueee house is really a double
affair. The most expenso is put into
the roof, which is of splendid houvily
tile in all the towns and villages. On
the isolated furm houses stra1" thatch is
used more extensively. The roof is
sustained by uprights framefl into it,
which have their foundation ou the
gronud. The floor is generally about
two feet above the ground, and is
divided into rooms by paper partitions,
which are in sections and slide in
grooves. They can, at pleasure, be
eutirely removed, leaving, if necessary,
the entire area in one room. The sides
of the building, or at least one or ruoro,
are also in sections, which slide in
grooves and are removed during the day,
if required. Generally there is a space
left for a passageway between tho out
side and the inner partitions forming
tho rooms, so that in wintor the rooms
enclosed only by paper screens aro made
warm and comfortable by tho protection
of the outer shell when slid into posi
tion, while in summer the facility with
which all partitions are removed insures
good ventilation. Very many cf the
houses are built with an iuterior court,
devoted to ornamental shrubs and
flowers, showing an admirable degree ol
n'sthetio taste in tho people.
I'eter Cooper's Tips.
Nearly every day Peter Cooper drives
down to his office, and stays there for a
few hours. As he comes ont to his
coupe he is surrounded by a bevy of
seedy-looking men. Each in tarn steps
up to him with a "Good day, Mr.
Cooper," and an expectant look in his
eye, and just as regularly the benevolent
old gentleman puts his hand in his
pocket, and gives him a piece of money,
and "Good day to yon."
"Wh ' do you let theso people annoy
yon, Mr. Cooper?'' asked an impatient
young man the other day.
"They don't annoy me at all," said
the philanthropist. "They are old :
friends of mine, poor follows. Many of ,
them have seen better days. They I
don't want much just enough for a !
