The spring and summer in Japan is full of picturesque beauty, and yields an atmosphere of delightful comfort. The skies drop gladness, and the earth teems with loveliness. Its garden pictures aro changing as a kaleidoscope. Tho terracod hill-sides, rank with verdure, vio with wheat fields bending 'neat their load of just cut and supplanted by rice, in Holds Hooded with water, while others, green with 'the tender shoots, are ready for transplanting. When tho seasons aro unusually, dry nothing is loft to sulfur.

The reservoirs aro so large, and tlio irrigating system so complete, that Japan's wondrous garden smiles on beneath scorching rays. Tho trees of Japan are a wonder. Hero is the "mockuugi," with its pur-plo, boll-shaped flowers; also tho magnolia, with its rich whito and purple clusters. Queen among tho trees towers tlio camellia. Soma of those aro sixty feet high, and aro covered with blossoms from January to May, of many varieties, from the large pure whito, resembling a double rose, to various shades of pink and pink.

The cherry and plum trees aro cultivated solely for their blossoms, and aro trees of raro beauty. Tho former grows thirty feet high and as many broad, its branches covered with red and whito blossoms, two inches in diameter aud perfuming tho air at a great distance. Its petals of snow and cream, falling in showers, spread many a carpet for the feet on the stone-paths leading to tho temples, verifying the native poet when he says: "There aro snow showers which do not descend from tho skies." Tho plum tree is par excellence the poet's tree. Often it is seen standing leafless in the snow, yet adorned with blossoms like a bride.

Prairie Farmer. DRAMATIC REALISM. The Whole Spirit of the Drama Assuming- a KeiilMIc Air. The play in verse has been completely defeated by the play in prose; the play dealing with former times has cleared off before the play dealing with our own days; and, on the raro occasion when tho past is put upon the stage, no effort is spared to realize it in every detail to turn it in a fashion into tlio present. Above all, the art of acting has become merely tho art of reproducing reality.

In the account left to us of actors and actresses of former davs, from ltcltertou to Talma, what strikes us, and what evidently struck contemporary audiences, was tho pathos and passion with which certain capital passages wero delivered. The excellence of the actor depended upon his power of exciting the audience at a given moment; the stories of Lekaiu and AdriennoLccouvreur, even of the actors mentioned in Lessing's "Dramaturgic," clearly show this to have been tho case; even if the structure of the plays elaborately worked up to certain dramatic points, and all the rest of the business left rather vague and conventional, did not force upon us the conclusion that complete realization of a situation, a scene or a person, absolute and uniform life-likeness, is a very modern conception indeed. In the middle of the last century Lessing, tho most realistic playwright and dramatic critic of his day, commended tho actor who performed his Odoardo Gallotti for picking nervously at the feathers in his hat while listening to tho recital of Emilia's shame. Nowadays there is not a third-rate provincial aetor nay, scarcely an amateur who would not have recourse to devices like this, which a hundred years ago seemed little less than a stroke of genius. Even upon the opera stage it has become unusual for ono performer to look on quietly without any sign of feeling while another is detailing his feelings in an air; and even in an Italian serious opera that is to say, in the most idiotically un-dramatic drama of our time ono can notice gestures (that, for instance, of seizing hold of a woman's two hands and then hurling her aside) which would, probably, have created a tremendous sensation if risked by Talma.

EtEGANT COSTUMES. Description of Dainty Kvenlng Dress, Kaney Wrap and Tailor-Marie liownt. A dainty dress recently worn at an evening feto was mado of palest mauve foulard dotted with white silk figures. The round skirt was kilted from skirt to hem with wide insertions set between every third plait of cream-white lace. Tho long cuirass-bodieo of the foulard was cut out heart-shape in the neck, tho opening veiled with creani-whitesilk fusion laid in soft folds.

The sleeves were short, with butterfly bows of violet satin on eaeli sliouldcr. A broad sash of voilet satin, laid in three deep loops, touched the lower edge of tho corsage on tho right side of tho skirt, crossing the front the long ends caught up lightly one over tho other. At the point where the seavf-ends met was a large silver buckle, sot with mock amethysts. A dog collar of silver coins, laid over a band of violet velvet, completed this very charming toilet. In tho list of fancy wraps are those of golden-brown yak lace lined variously with surah silks in yellow, poppy red, or dark blue.

The mantle is made with short back and stolo fronts. There is a high upright collar covered closely with glittering bronze beads. In some cases similar beads are used to head tho lace, which forms the edge of tho wrap. Imported lace coats aro also opened to view; these are to be, worn far into tho autumn season, over skirts of various sorts. They are made of black Spanish guipure, matelasso and other handsome lace designs, with linings of cardinal satin, mauve faille Francais, deep garnet and gold-shot satins and deep maize satins.

Tho skirts to these coats fall considerably deeper over the hips and back than tho generality of wraps, and it is imperative that the garment shall have tho perfect fit and style of a tailor-made jacket or it will prove a failure. A recent elaborate display of tailor-made gowns proved that the demand in America, as abroad, remains unabated. Tho newer models are far less severe in stylo. They tit even more accurately, but there is more ornamentation visible upon all styles except those to be devoted strictly to utility uses. Light-weight wools have also taken the place of the heavy cumbersome cloths first employed, and in their stead aro used tho softly draping London diagonals, camel's hair serges, with threads of silk and arrasene intermingled, and boOrrettos, armures, homespuns, and canvas goods, pale-toned etainines, Lincolnshire Bel-gravia, Scotch tweed meltons, and other extra line suitings.

The hosier Is wise enough to understand this state of affairs, and so has a large supply of Dolors that do not absolutely contradict the fashion and yet are not black.

The possibilit ies of tho pale-gray shades so far as regards tho milling "of one's temper are unlimited, and the feelings of ti.i' shopman when a buyer wishes to match a gray can be imagined. Tho favorite grays in stockings are silver, dove and steel.

Fine lisle thread is chosen oftener than silk, and the stockings are quite devoid of ornamentation, the simple clocking at the sides being conspicuous by its absence. Another color fliat obtains for stockings is a tan shade just about the so-called "medfcim tan in gloves. It does not hint of yellow, is not as dark as brown and is dainty in effect. Like tho grays, these stockings are plain, though to show the certainty of their dye tho soles and the tops are usually white, making possible the old-tihio pun: "Lotus be white soled." In stripes, black and gray, black and white, blue and white, and cardinal and tan, are in vogue.

Mr. Loening, United States Consul at Bremen, in a report to our Government on the condition of the wage-workers of that city, speaks of tho intelligence of a 'class of shop hands. He nays "they are well posted in the current news and are good politicians," and then proceeds to tell how it happens that tho shop hands in that city are so much above the average mechanic in intelligence and information. He says: "Kvery morning in these large factories a good reader is picked oat to read tho morning papers to them tho workmen, while the other workmen contribute so much to make up his aniountof work while he Such a plan does not cost each laborer probably one-tenth what he would pay for a copy of the paper, and he also saves the time he would otherwise spend in reading it.

There are many trades in which such a plan could be adopted in this country, like cigar-making and others where thure is little noise to disturb the reader, and it is worthy of adoption. Indeed, we believe it has been adopted hero in a few shops. It is belter than tho individual reading of a paper, because in the latter case the reader will skip articles not of special interest to him, while in the former the whole paper is read and lie is obliged to hear things he would rot himself read. It might be objected that in some trades the reading would disturb the workmen, but an hour or an hour and a half devoted to reading by one could not bo much of a disadvantage, even If it took the workman's attention somewhat; and if there is any truth in the saying that labor is valuable in proportion to its intelligence all such loss would be more than compensated for.

Henry Donnelly, of New Haven, heard cries for help coming from Mill river, ran quite a distance at full speed, reached the water in time to see a small boy sink for the third time, plunged in, breathless as he was, without removing even his shoes, failed to get the boy at the first attempt, dived again, and just managed to bear the apparently l'rfe-less body ashore, when his strength gave out.

The Monte di Pieta was long of being established in France, chielly owing to Die oppression of M. l)q La Heynie, chief of the polled in Paris. Numerous projects were put forward during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

but they fell through, though Colbert anil other prominent statesmen favored them. In 1705 the Council of Finance declared it would bo to the "Glory of God, the service of the state and tho public interest" were Monts do Piete ettablishcd. Necker took the saino view, and protested against the conduct of avaricious Jews and others who practiced on tlw cupidity of the public and successfully fleeced them. It was not until December, 1777, that Louis XIV. sanctioned the Monts de Piete.

Soon after this the first was opened at Paris. It was under the charge of the chief of police and four administrators of the general hospital. The rate of interest charged was 3 and 4J per cent. The concern was a tremendous success. In tho year 1788 there were 600,000 different articles pawned.

At the time of. the revolution the Mont de Piete was suppressed on the ground that, it was a monopoly, and immediately the Jews and the Lombards stepped in and carried on a flourishing business. The republic, considering Clio condition of things intolerable," re-established the Mont de Piete after live years, and with sligbtehanges now and then in the administration, it has continued ever since with increasing success.

This is the principle I wish to impress upon tho reader's mind; suppose yu go to work some strong lanu and you flap it over (cut nnd cover) sixteen ur seventeen inches wide, and the same thickness that the majority plow. Do you think you could get any kind of a cropP 1 am doubtful. Of course there may be room for argument here betwixt strong land and nice loamy land, bnt there is very littki to my mfnd. In fact, I think light and loamy land really requires more care and skill in plowing. Its nature requires mora than strong land, and there is mv reason.

Light and loamy land, if plowed thin and put down flat, will run together with tho lirst heavy rain, which will preclude any of the land receiving the full action of the weather except just the top side. On the other hand, strong land will stand up through many rains. I will allow that strong land" takes a lot more pulverizing than loamy land, but the difference in the time it takes to resuscitate the two soils is only small. By plowing a light and loamy land a little deeper, say six inches, and not wider than twelve to thirteen inches, and running the plow a little on her head you can set it up and open so that it will open and look rough for a length of time, at the same time presenting a much greater surface to the action of the weather. Front is a fine thing when the land is exposed to the action of the air and sua also, bnt a poor factotum without them, and my opinion is that it applies equally to loamy soils.

"Just try it." Plow deep in the fall, so that there shall be plenty of mold for the roots of crops to work in. At the same time you will have more soil full of nature's forks which will give you better crops, and can then safely leave the weeds to look after themselves. VrmlwA and kindred subjects.
