Newspaper Page Textr DONE IN A MINUTE. What is Accomplished Every Sixty Seconds. A Marvelous Array of Facts That Momentarily Occur. “Well, well, don’t fret; I’ll bo there In a minute.” But, my friend, a minute means a good deal, notwithstanding you affect to hold it of no consequence. Did you ever stop to think what may happen in a minute? No. Well, while you are murdering a minute for yourself and one for me, bcioro you get ready to sit down to the business we have in hand, I will amuse you by telling you some things that will happen meantime. Ia a minuto wo shall be whirled around on the outside of tho earth by its diurnal motion a distanco of 13 miles. At the samo time we shall have gone along with the earth, in its grand journey around the sun, 1,080, miles. Pretty quick traveling you say? Why, that is slow work compared with tho rate of travel of that ray of light which just now reflected from that mirror made you wink. A minuto ago that ray was 11,160,000 miles away. In a minute, over all the world, about eighty new-born infants hava each raised a wail of protest at tho fates for thrusting existonco upon them, while as many more human beings, weary , with tho struggle of life, have opened their lips to utter their last sigh. In a minute tho lowest sound your oar can catch has boeu made by 990 vibra¬ tions, while the highest tone reached you after making 2,228,000 vibra¬ tions. In a minute an express train goes a mile and a Cleveland street car 32 rods; the fastest trotting horso, 147 9-13 rods, and an average pedestrian of tho genus homo has got over 10 rods. In each minute in the United States, night and day, all tho year round, twenty-four barrels of beer havo to go down 12,090 throats, and 4,830 bushels of grain havo come to bin. If there were a box kept at tho city hall in the city of Cleveland into which every minute a sum sufficient to pay the interest on tho city debt had to be droppad, the sum so dropped each min¬ ute of tho whole yoar would bo 85 cents. How about the national finances? Well, sir, in tho same way, each, min¬ ute, night and day, by the official re¬ ports for the year 1880, the United States collected $039 and spent $401; $178moro than necessary. The intorest on the public debt was $90 a minuto, or just oxactly equal to tho amount of sil¬ ver mined in that time. Now, in the residuo of figures I give, you will remember that they represent so much fot every minute in the year. AU the preceding figures should be so considered, And remember, also, that we are all tho time, hereafter, talking about facts connected with tho whole United States. Tho telephone is used 595 times, the telegraph 130 times. Of tobacco, 925 pounds are raised, and part of it has been used in making 6673 cigars, and »omo more of it has gono up in tho smoke of 2,292 cigarettes. But I am afraid that you will forget that we are talking about a minute, sixty seconds of time. No? Well, then, every minuto COO pounds of wool grow in this country, aud wo havo to dig sixty-one Ions of anthracite coal and 200 tons of foituminous coal, while of pig-iron we turn out twelve tons and of Bteel rails three tons. In this minute you have kept mo wait¬ ing fifteen kegs of nails have been made^ twelve balos of cotton from tho fields and thirty-sir bushels of grain gono into 149 gabions of spirits, while $66 in gold should have been dug out of the earth. In tide same time the United States mint tinned out gold and silver coin to tho Jtl\a jmlua of $131, and forty-two acres of S public domain havo been sold or given away.—[Cleveland Press. A Dramatic Mode of Execution. A Liipsic inventor has devised an ex¬ tremely dramatic mode of execution for criminals which possesses the addition¬ al advantage of being painless. Th* machinery consists of a platform, nine metres square, approached by five steps. In tho centre of tho platform is a chair for the condemned man. Behind it stands a figure of Justice holding a pair of scales in her left hand, the scales be¬ ing movable. Under the platform Is placed an electric battery, from which wires pass through the legs of tho chair into the seat and back, terminating in platinum plates. If the patient objects to seating himself in the chair he is simply tied in. Then, after the sen¬ tence has been read, tha executioner takes a stick, breaks it, and places the pieces in one of Justice’s scales. This desceuds, puts the battery in motion, and ends tho matter. Death is instan¬ taneous and painless. The machine has been tried on animals and in the pres¬ ence of large number of invited guests and is pronounced a success. Cuban Cigar Etiquette. In the Cuban Islands there ara special and strict forms of etiquette relative to the universal practice of smoking. Should a gentleman stop another on the street to ask a light, he would construe a refusal to oblige him into a direct and intentional insult But having once held between his fingers the partly consumed cigar of whose fire he had been borrowing, tho owner thereof would bo as deeply hurt and offended were he to offer tn return it. No, he must, instead, open his cigar case and Aft J,offer a fresh weed in return for the FOR FARM AND GARDEN. Feannf Culture. The peanut requires a light, sandy ■oil and plenty of warm, sunny weather. It is claimod that by selection of quick growing varieties the peanut may be grown in New England or wherover Indian corn will mature, but as with sweet potatoes there would be little profit and much work. In Virginia the seed is not usually planted till all danger of frost is passed, and tho farmers then like to have five months for producing the crop, It is very es sential that the soil contain an abundance of limo and i3 light colored, so tho peanuts will not bo stained. Heavy clay is unfit, as it not only yields dark colored nuts, but is apt to induce mildew or rot. Tho plant resembles tho garden pea, but the vines cling close to the ground like white clover. The fruit is borno on stems, which after blooming pierco the earth, thus matur¬ ing the fruit or seed boncath the surface of the field. Whon ripo tho vines are loosened by plou thing each side of tho rows, when the crop is lifted with and piled in small stacks to dry. two or three weeks of good weather pods will dry enough to pick from v.ines,—[New York Herald, Ik« Iieat Poultry If aril, Tho best poultry yard is a plantation. The fowls love the shelter and scenery of a spreading spruce or pine, and wal¬ low in the dry soil under the branches with evident enjoyment. A turkey is a forest bird, and, although somewhat un¬ manageable by reason of her wild na¬ ture, will readily take to a nest made for hor in a more suitable place than she herself may choose, if the nest is mado of dry leaves under the shelter of a brush pile in a grove. A grovo of plum and cherry trees, with a few evergreens interspersed, will make the best poultry yard; for there will b3 full crops of iruit and tha curculio will be banished. A row of cherry trees on ono side of the writer’s lawn, nestled among a double row of Norway spruces on tho north side, havo never yet been touched by a curculio, whilo the shelter of tho spruces Beam to give an idea of con cealod enemies to the greedy sparrows and the cat birds, which strip tho trees in open ground where an undisturbed view may be had of approaching foes. Fruit and eggs become complimentary to each other; tho fowls protect tho fruit, aud tho shade pleases and encour¬ ages the hens to make nests. —[New York Times. Yellow* in the l*eacli. Numb.re.1 with other interesting mat¬ ter contained in the recent report of the Pennsylvania IIorticulturai association is what J. F. Smith has to say about tho yellows in tho peach. Ho asserts that thorc aro moro failures from poor cultivation than from this disease. He gives liis trees gooi culture, careful pruning, plants on high ground and has excellent success. As soon as a tree is found to havo tho yellows it is removed root and branch, liis orchard of 1100 trees had two or threo with tho yellows the second yeur, which were prompt.y dug out and two moro when bearing began, and in all up to the present timo thirty five, a loss of 3 per cont. in nino years, lie knows of no other cure, although many remedies hava been tried by him. This orchard boro 1800 crates when four yoars old, with an averago some¬ what less ia subsequent years. Tho va¬ rieties arc Hale, Troth, Mountain Rose, Crawford’s E irly, Old Mixon, Stump, Smock and Salway. Lato varietios pro¬ duce most profitably; three-fourths of those now planted arc thoso of tho two last named varieties. Mr. Engle, refer¬ ring to tho fact that premature ripening of tho fruit was ono of the first evi¬ dences of the disease, said that when it is reached tho troo will never recover. Mr. Mecch said tho only euro was to dig out root and branch. Cure of (Up A up-.i rag'll* Bed, No matter how much care lias been given to the proper planting of aspara¬ gus, it is easy to injure, if not to render worthless, the best bed by beginning to cut too early, and by cutting too late. In planting, wo havo advised to set strong, vigorous roots, each with many good strong buds. Tho futuro treat¬ ment of these plants should be to keep the roots strong, and to keep them so well supplied with buds that a part of them, or tho shoots from them, may be cut aw’ay without injury. If we draw water from a cistern we provide means of refilling it. The asparagus root is like a cistern; we draw upon it by cut¬ ting the shoots, and we replenish it by allowing the green tops to grow and to form buds to lie dormant When a new bed ha3 been planted, the advice is given to not cut it until the third or even the fourth year, ia order that each root may get so strong that it will stand the annual cutting. The best and most productive bed ever made may be ruined by cutting it too late ia the season. For family beds, the advico is given to stop cutting when green peas come. The grower on the largo scale for market judges by the character of his crops when to cease cutting. In no other gar don crop do we make so permanent an investment as in asparagus; aside from the first cost, we invest three years of time and care; but if we manage prop¬ erly tho returns coatinuj through an in¬ definite number of years and are paid each spring. No garden should bo wit h out an asparagus bed. [American Agri culturist. vioUe, of App: 7 i n|r w annr p. It is not an easy matter to lay down general rules with regard to the appli cation of manures that will be wise ia all cases. Opinions differ somewhat as j to the economy of spreading farmyard manure upon the surfaces of fields or lawns in late autumn or early winter. Circumstances alter cases hero as else* where. It seems, however, reasonable to maintain that winter top-dressing should be restricted to level fields, for both rain and snow must sweep manure from frozen hillsides before it3 con¬ stituents have had any fair show to soak into the earth. | There are advocates, both at home and abroad, for the practice of carting out fresh manure from the barnyard as fast as it is made and spreading it directly on the fields. The chief gain in such practice is doubtless tho saving of labor. . The spreading of short manure upon grass in tho spring, or in the autumn even, is no doubt commendable in many instances, as a means of maintaining the same. A chief objection to the system of surface-spreading, which applies es¬ pecially to light beachy soils, is that the non-soluble portions of the manure, as they lie on tho ground, are likely to dry out to a poat-like substance that is not specially useful to tho growing crop. However manuro may bo applied, it is of importance to secure its equitablo distribution in tho soil. In a general way, it may bo said that horso drop* pings and manuro from sheep pens should bo applied by preference to cold, clayey loams, or to moist soils rich in humus. These hot manures tend to warm and enliven the land. On the other hand, the slowly fermenting cow manure is preferred for warm, light soils. On light saady soils it will be found a good plan whon using horso manure to mix it with somo slow sort, as cow or swine manuro.—[New York World. Farm and (Jardnii Vote,. Sowing foul seed may bring to nood. A chubby sow makes a poor brooder. Butter unfit for tablo uso is not fit for cooking purposes. Good corn-stalks, well curod, are about equal to hay for milch cows. Beans, shorts or oiimeal are hotter for feeding with silage than cornmeal, and dry c'ovcr hay is an excellent sup¬ plement. Dry caustic lime scattered over as¬ paragus plants in the morning when wet with dew is a remedy ia extensive use for tho asparagus beetlo, which some¬ times occasion great loss to growers. Daniel Bachelor says that when or¬ chard grass and tall oat grass aro sown together, at the rate of a bushel of seed each to tho acre, they make “a tremendous crop,” and may be cut twico in the sea¬ son for hay or frequently for soiling purposes. Tho Live Stock Indicator hopes that tho practice of washing milk-ewes be foro shearing may be given up as a bar¬ barism of tho past. “It is Bimplo cruelty to animals of the worst nature, without one redeeming feature or any compensa¬ tion, after causing unknown loss to flockmasters.” Those who feel that breeding is of ittio consequence, says an exchange, should look at Southdown sheep. Originally they did not shear more than two and a half pounds of wool per head, and were not fit for the butcher until between three and five years old. Now^ they make good mutton when eighteen months old and furnish from eight to ten pounds of fleece. It is best to uso rock salt for animals, keeping a pieco under shelter where they can lick it any time they choose. Salt given once a week in the fields is mainly wasted. It is eaten in such quantities that it acts as a purgative by irritating the stomach, and this gets tha animal out of sort9. With freo access to a lump of rock salt stock will lick it nearly every day, taking this necessary condiment much as men have learned to do in the quantities daily required by them when eating various kinds of food. Where tho ducks aro confined they are usually fed too much, and being ap¬ parently always hungry the owner is often tempted to feed them liberally. A duck will easily fatten, and this should be guarded against when they are lay¬ ing. During the day they should havo no food but chopped grass or vegetable tops, but three times a week they should have meat, or animal food ef somo kind, such as ground fish or ground meat, which may be given in their evening meal Mashed potates and grounds oats at night may be al¬ lowed. The Mysterious Boomerang. Some German scientists, seeking to discover the secret of tho boomerang’s curious flight, caused a psuty of Austra¬ lian natives to give an exhibition of boomerang throwing at Munster. The instruments used were of two sizes, tho larger being a slender crescent about two feet long, two and a quarter inches wide and a quarter of an inch thick, made of an extraordinary heavy Austra¬ lian iron wood. This boomerang was jerked up into the air about one hun¬ dred yards, when it flew straight away, then turned to the loft and returned in a curved line back to the thrower, whirling around constantly and whiz¬ zing unpleasantly. One badly directed ^ projectile fell through a spectator’s hat with a cut as c.ean as that of a razor. A Weim; r manufacturer, who has mado gome eleven thousand toy boomerangs, be¬ lieves that the mystery of shapo lies in the sharper curvaturo ia tho middle, with unequal length of tha two arms, which must be made of equal weight by unequal thickness. Tho peculiarity of motion is due to the difference in tha length of the arms which diverges the j curve of rotation from the circular._ [New Orleans Picayune. QUAINT AND CURIOUS. Joan of Arc, the Maid of Orleans, died in 1431. Mrs. Jonathan Drake of Rockford, UL, is ninety-six years old, and has 143 living descendants. T wen tv-one suicides have taken place from Clifton suspension bridge, Eng land. since its opening in December, 1804. John Hondricks of Catawba, Ohio, has a lamb with three perfectly deve, opod cars—two on tho sides and ono on the top of tho head. In 1601 LaSalle discovered tho Mis¬ sissippi, and just 100 years later Robert Raikes established the first Sunday school at Gloucester, England. A man in Detroit was saved from a horrible death by the courage of two pet cats, which clawed him awake barely in time to escape from a burning building. Sinco 1789 all lighthouses oa the United States coast have been main¬ tained by tho national government. Previous to this light dues were levied upon commerco. A queer flower which grows in A uca tan is tho manito (little hand) of tho guarumo. It is tho exact shape of tho human hand, with four fiager9, thumb, nails and knuckles all complete. An animal hiving a head and fore¬ feet like a squirrel and hind feet like a coon has been killed near Augusta, Ky. Several hunters of that section, when shown tho carcass, declared that they had not seen ono like it before. Among the various prizes offered at a dog show in San Francisco was ono for the quietest animal. Tho surprise of the judges wrn great whon they found that tho winner was a dog which had died and been stuffed two years before. Thero is a very remarkable apple tree in Rockingham county, 8.

The most valuable manuscript in this country, judging from the price paid, is in tho possession of John Jacob Astor of New York. It is the Sforzi Missal, for which $15,500 was paid. It is dated in the fifteenth century and comprises 484 pages of vellum bound in red moroc co. Berry Miller, of Dade City, Fla., had a hard tussle with an immense alligator a few days ago and killed it. It weighed 600 pounds and wai fourteen feet iu length. When he cut it open ho was surprised to find within it another alligator six feet long. Swallows havo been making their home in the chimneys of the First Ward school-house at Appleton, Wis., and when a fire was built in the stovo tho other day, hosts of dead birds camo tumbling down the chimney. Altogeth¬ er 850 birds were picked up and re¬ moved in bushel baskets. Canine Smugglers. Tno shooting of a big dog by a French Custom House officer in the north of France tho other day, has given rise to some queer dog stories ia the French papers. The officer shot the dog because he was suspiciously fat. The post-mortem examination revealed the fact that the animal wore a leather coat made to look liko his own skin, and skillfully fastened at the shoulders and haunches in such a way as to completely conceal the ends ia tho hair. In this coat the dog carried several hundred cigars. On the Belgian frontier smug¬ gling with the aid of trained dogs is said to he a flourishing business. Cigars, jewelry, and laces constitute the trade. Tho animals receive a special training for their profession. Tho practice con¬ sists in traveling from ono place in Belgium to another in Franco and vice versa, avoiding tho high roads and tho revenuo mon. The latter they are taught by bitter experience to avoid, for the smugglers who train them keep a good supply of uniforms of revenue officers on hand. These uniforms are donned by confederate, whom the dogs have never seen, and these fellows beat and stono tho dog3 unmercifully. The result is that the dogs run whenever they see a genuine officer. When the dog is started off oa his journey with hU load the smuggler sets out for the same place, but he takes the direct route, or travels bodily by rail, caring, of course, nothing for any inspection of his baggage. There was a famoui dog of this kind in Maubeuge, He made the fortune of his master by carrying laces across the French frontier. His natural color was white hut he wore all sorts of disguises. Sometimes he was black, sometimes ho was brown and sometimes he was a mighty thick, shaggy fellow. He was called Cute (Miiin) and ho was worthy of the nam:. A price was put upon his head and all sorts of trap) and ambus¬ cades were prepared for him. It is said that once ho crossed the frontier dis- I guised as an innocent sheep dog travol iag with a flock of sheep. His death j was quite tragic. Cute died in harness like a hero, lie was chased bv the rev- 1 enue officers and repeatedly fired upon, | j In swimming across the Eiccnt he was mortally wounded but he managed to j reach the shore where he died, Laces valued at 33,000 francs were found in his reversible overcoat.—[N tv York Sun.

Certain have had to be changed in Outer Mongo¬ of lia on account of the honey-combing of the whole country by myriads rats, the who have burrowed and eateu up pasturage so extensively that tho supply of food for camels ami horses is greatly diminished, and tho burrows are danger¬ ous to all mounted travelers and couriers. The prize offered by the Australian Gov¬ ernment for a riddance of the rabbits which infest that country may afford a suggestion to the authorities in China to offer inducements which M. Pasteur or some unknown Whittington may find advantageous enough to undertake the task of ridding the country of these vermin. Centennial Exposition. Cincinnati will be filled with visitors until the last of October. In quick suc¬ cession, the May Musical Festival, the National Encampment Knights of Pyth¬ ias, the Patriarchs Militant of the Odd Fellows, from all parts of the country’ and Canada, play their parts in that city. Beginning 4th of July, the Centennial Exposition holds a hundred days’ jubi¬ lee in honor of the 100th anniversary of the settlement of the Northivest Territory.

Good Reading. There is no matter of such importance to young men as the early acquirement of the taste for good reading. Sir John Hersehell says: “If I were to pray for a taste which would stand me in stead un¬ der every variety of circumstances, and be a source of happiness and cheerfulness to me through life, and a shield against its ills, however things might would go amiss be and the world frown upon me,it a taste for reading. Give a man this taste and the means of gratifying it, and you can hardly fail of in making with a happy the man. You place him contact best society in every period of history, with the wisest, the wittiest, the tender est, the bravest, and the purest charac¬ ters who have adorned humanity. You make him a denizen of all nations, a con¬ temporary of all ages. The world has been created for him.” John Half, of Westbrook, Ga., named his first child First Half; his next, Second Half; his third, Other Half; and his fourth, Best Half. He says that his blessings come in halves. Was America Ever Discovered? At the time when Columbus started In search of tile New World, nearly every man, woman and child in Europe insisted that there was no New Wor.d to discover. When lie came back, crowned with success, a largo pro¬ portion of ttiese good people adhered to their theory; and If they were alive to-day many of them would doubtless insist that America had never been discovered at all. A man will give up anything in this world more readily individ¬ than a pet theory. For example, look at the uals who still maintain that consumption is incurable. I)r.
