A correspondent of tile
Tallahassee Floridian says:
••It may be a matter ol in
terest to your many read**rs
to know how to produce the
seedless watermelon. Vs
soon as the vine ha attain
ed the length of three feet
or move,place under it,about
midway the vine, the
amount of compost you
would put in a hill, to do
which it is best to excavate
the earth, and bring to a
level with good e< mpost. —
Place the vine over this a.nd
cover to a sufficient depth
to prevent drying, leaving
out as much as possible of
the bud. As soon as it has
taken root eat it loose from
the parent stem. If then
should be a bloom, or bloom
bud. before it takes root, in
the place of seeds there w id

How to Dissolve a Gyelene.
Dr. C. M. llitelieoek, a
seientitie (Georgian, now in
California, has a very novi!
and jdausible theory by
which cyclones may be ar
rested in their progress. —
Says he: ‘ I believe that a
cyclone can be headed in
its destructive charge: and
demolished by tiring a can
non. heavily loaded, once or
twice in the vicinity of the
thing. The discharge of
the cannon creates a con
cussion of the atmosphere,
and the vacuum left by it
will destroy the force of the
blow. A volley of musket
ry would have the same ef
fect. On two occasions I
have seen ships at sea sav -
ed from water-spouts that
would have carried them to
the bottom, by simply tir
ing a cannon, heavily load
ed. The water-spout, after
the discharge*, would break
and fall in a shower of rib
bon-like streams. The cy
clone and water-spoilt, in
my opinion, can be treated
with identically the same
success.” —Ex

t hat Ids conclusions and de

to err with the pen as with
the tongue. Remember that
for two men to give the

of which both are witnesses
is extremely rare. Remem
ber that no conscientious
author can read what he

will make him squirm and
feel like hunting for a hole

is searching for the truth
must give up his mistaken
convictions, no matter how

When a negro woman

if at any time she is told to
do something which was

no matter how light a | ieee
