AGRICULTURAL,
HE FIELD, THE FABK, THE GARDEN
ORCHARD MANAGEMENT.
There are some fanners that think
frui trees do hot like much manuring.
They stanre their trees as they do their
poor ch^s'ahd sheep. Where manure is
applied as a top dressing to fruit trees, it
proves a decided stimulus and benefit.
We have heard of trees that did not
bear, and the reason assigned was that
they grew too luxuriously. We never
saw tne trees: A cheap material to top
dress under orchard trees will pay. If
the farmer has no material for top-dress
ing, he should run his harrow through
the summer to keep down weeds and to
permit the roo s to have the benefit of
what littls food there may be in the
soil.
Orchard trees often receive too much
pruning. In young tress o ly thin out
so as not to have the main leaders cross
ing or interfering one with ano her; or
when a few shoots are observed to be
growing much stronger than the rest cut
them away. By a long series o' bearing,
branches will often get bark bound, and
stunted, preventing a passage of sap to
the leaves. In such caseS the sap seems
to revenge itself by forcing out vigorous
young shoot a long way down from the
top of the tree. It is down to these
vigorous young shoots that it is recom
mended to cut the bearing branches
away. Of course, much of this work
can only be left to the judgment of the
grower. If the tree bears as fine fruit as
ever no such severe pruning i • necessary;
but if it fails to yield satisfactory crops,
now is the time to do the cutting.
HORTICULTURAL NOTES.
A pear tree, when it is bearing fruit,
emands a great deal of water. If pear
demands a great deal of water. If pear
trees are watered daily with liquid ma
nure, or water from the house sewer,
and chamber slops, the fruit will increase
in size and quality.
New York pear-growers regard the
duchesse as the most profitable dwarf
pear that can be grown. They are
planted twelve feet by six. In culti
vating, the plow is run between the rows,
and the loose soil thrown upon the grass
under the trees, thus keepmg down its
growth.
In trimming off branches they should
be cut close to the trunk so that no dead
stumps shall disfigure the tree, also that
the bark may readily grow over. Many
fruit trees become hollow or fall into
premature decay from the rain pene
trating through old saw cuts made in
pruning. Scars should be painted or
tarred, or otherwise protected from the
rain.
An application of lime, wood-ashes
and old iron put around the roots
of fruit trees that are not doing well,
will restore the trees to a healthy con
dition and improve the quality of the
fruit. A good wash for nursery trees—-
Heat an ounce of sal soda to redness in
an iron pot, and dissolve it in one gal
lon of water, and while warm apply it
to the trunk.
Apples, in addition to being a de
licious fruit, makes a pleasant medicine.
A raw, mellow apple, is digested in an
hour and a half, while boiled cabbage
. requires five hours. If baked apples are
eaten frequently at breakfast with coarse
bread and butter, without meat or flesh
of any kind,' it has an admirable effect
on the general system, often removing
•onstipation, correcting acidities an;
cooling off febrile conditions more ef
fectually -than the most approved medi-
•ines.
FARM NOTES.
To keep the striped bugs from cucum
bers saturate ashes with kerosene and ap
ply a handful in a hill.
Persons using nitrate of soda as a fer
tilizer ought to bear in mind that of all
fertilizers it is the easiest washed out
from the soil.
To destroy bugs on squashes and cu
cumber vines, dsisilve a tablespoonful
saltpeter in a pailful of water, put a pint
of this around cadi hill, shaping the earth
so that it will not spread much. It is
also good to kill grub in peach trees—us
ing a quart to each tree.
To prevent young pigs being killed and
eaten by the mother while farrowing,
feed the sow with plenty of root,, raw or
cooked, and season them with salt. An
other—Give the, sow a slice of fat salt
pork daily for the last few days previous
to farrowing. Bran mashes sal ted are al
so goorf. Green clover might be fed daily,
and salt be put where she can get what
the wants.
PLANTS AND FLOWERS.
We have one or two letters asking
questions about certain plants and flow
ers. The writers apologize for writing
by saying that they love flowers. Why
should not everybody learn to love these
beautiful objects of nature? “In all
places and in all seasons, flowers expand
their light and soul, like wings, teaching
us, by persua ive reasons, how akin they
are to human things.” From the
“Wte modest, eiimson-tipped daisy.”
of Burns, to the magnolia, who does not
love them ?
The verbena can be easily grown fr. m
seed, and the flowers produced from seed
are nearly always fragrant, besides being
produced far more plentifully than on a
plant raised from a cutting.
To keep insects off of plants indoors,
use tobacco dust freely.
The lantana is an easily cultivated
plant, growing freely in any good soil;
the best compost is a good light loam
and old manure or leaf mould with the
addition of sand to keep the whole
•pen.
By constantly removing decayed flow
ers before a seed pod can swell, the
f rowth of the plant and the continued
evelopment of new buds and flowers
upon the new growth are matters of
•ourse.
To destroy insects on roses, mix a table-
teaspoonful of white hellebore in a pail
of water, and apply it with a sprinkler.
This destroys the insects and the roses
■ re clear. Another effectual remedy is
whale oil soap, one pound of soap being
added to eight gallons of water. It is
applied at night, the plants being thor
oughly drenched every two or three
days.
Fuchsias after being exhausted with
blooming, should have the terminal
shoots of all their branches clipped off;
then set aside for two or three weeks,
giving very little water; then repo - in a
soil composed of well-decomposed leaf
mould, mixed with a sprinkling of good
garden soil, a few rusty nails, and a layer
of charcoal at the bottom of the pot to
secure good drainage. In a few weeks
new shoots full of flower buds will start
all over, growing very rapidly.
SOMETHING OF CHEMISTRY.
To the best of our ability we will re
ply to a letter signed “ Chemistry,” writ
ten from Coweta.
In the formation of soils, oxygen is
.-he primary agent. It combines with
•alcium, magnesium, aluminium, silicon,
and forms respectively lime, magnesia,
alumina and silica; these four solids,
from the basis of our soils; the princi
pal constituents of soils are clay, lime,
sand and organic matter, or the decayed
parts of animals and vegetables, and the
three alkalies, ammonia, nitrogen, and
hydrogen.
Soils differ greatly in the proportion
of their constituents and in their origin,
and so have names indicating some
special element they contain that give
a character to the whole mass. Ana bo
we have clayey soils—meaning not that
they are composed alone, but that they
contain a large per cent, of that dense
earth. What is ealled clay by farmers
is a combination or mixture of pure
clay and sand. Then we have silicious
soils, meaning not that snch soils con
tain not only sand, but that this consti
tuent is so abundant as to give a sandy
character to the soil. Then again we
recognize calcareous or limey .soils, not
indicating bv that term that such soils
are composed entirely of lime, but that
this constituent abounds in quantities
unusual in other soils.
Clayey soils are not free from sand;
silicious soils are not free from clay.
Calcareous soils may. contain silicia and
and. clay, so that in fact these several
soils mingle with each other.
In examining the soils of any fields we
can easily make an approximation to
their composition. We can easily distin
guish a sandy from a clayey soil, or from
a calcareous one. We can easily distin
guish organic matter from clay or sand.
Even fields that yield paying crops vary
greatly in their composition. The best
way for a farmer to examine soils and to
determine their capacity for raising spe
cial crops is to sow patches of different
seed ana ascertain by actual observations
wbat plants grow the best—what fields
yield the most remunerative crops.
Other circumstances exist that add
fertility to nearly ev. ry soil. Drainage
may often render an acid soil sweet. Few
rootlets are able to withstand the harm
ful action of long soaking.
WHAT FERTILIZER?
A farmer must learn by observation
and experiment what his soil lacks and
what his special crops require, before he
can understandingly apply any special
fertilizer. Whenever stable manure is
applied to hoed crops, the nearer you
can keep it to the surface the better.
ITS IMPORTANCE.
The cotton crop this season is half a
million hales greater than ever before.
Tobacco is in excess of all former esti
mates by 12,000,000 pounds, sugar 200,-
000 hogsheads, the excess of wheat is
20,000,000 bushels, and corn 100,000,000.
And yet even farmers themselves cannot
realize the importance of the agricultu
ral interests, and not only farmers, hut
politicians, legislators and the public
generally. There is no industry so de
serving the fostering care of the govern
ment.
How She Served Twe Masters.
[Camp Meeting Corrsapondsne*.]
The sweetest oratory that I have lis
tened to on cliff of in forest was when I
awoke from a twilight dream which had
overtaken me asTsat leaning against
the base of a monster tree. They were
upon the opposite side, and I could not
run. She said: “Since we were chil
dren I have felt a deep interest and
friendliness in your welfare, and since
I came to know the blessedness o' hope,
I have longed to share my joy with you.
Will you give your heart to your
maker?” He said: “I can’t do that,
Molly. I would if I could, because you
wtsh it 1 gave it to you last winter
during our meetings of the ‘Jeu
’d eaprit,’ and if you really don’t want to
keep it yourself, and really don’t in the
least care for it, you may give it to
whoever you like, for I shall never have
any use for it. I would like, you know,
to share a blessedness of hope, very
likely much the same as yours if you
would only arrange things so that I
might have you all the time to divide
the joy with which I hope you mean;
can’t you, Molly?’’ She said: “O
Johnl” and then there was a fumbing,
and if he didn’t kiss her and she didn’t
kiss him, why “ Katydid” and the
woods are full of them. Then Bhe
said: “ You must tell Da how you
feel;” and he said: “Isn’t it too soon
after getting a new heart to tell a fel
low’s experience?” and she said: “Not
at all. It is proper and I am very
happy.” He said: “Not as happy,
Hclly, as if I had given my heart to the
Lord, are you?” He asked his ques
tion in a pathetic and apprehensive
i/ina unrl all A ranllAfl • 13 flll t.llfl
tone, and she replied: “It is all the
same, John. I’ll see that the good
Lord gets it at last.” Then they went
off to inform pa and get an earthly
blessing from him, for John is in the
leather business and very prosperous.
An Old-Fashioned Hotel.
[Turner’* Fall* BeporUr.]
It waa one of those old-fashioned ho
tels where "every thing runs itself.”
The landlord was a jolly old fellow who
had to be hunted up when anything
wanted by a guest. An eccentric drum
mer came along one night, and gave
orders to be called at five o’clock in the
morning to take a train due at that time.
The landlord was thunderstruck, but in
a moment the effect of the shock passed
away, and he began to nod in his chair
again, while the traveler put his valise
under the counter, “Did you say that
I should be called at that time, land
lord ?*’ queried the traveler; “I mu3t go
if possible.” The landlord yawned,
stretched himself and scratched his head
all at one time. “O-o-o n-o-o-o, we
never call anybody here,” he yawned.
“Haven’t you an alarm clock, then ?”

asked the impatient traveler. “Oh, yes,
we can fix you out that way,” said the
sleepy old Lowlow as he rubbed his
eyes, yawned and disappeared through
a door. The traveler arranged the
alarm to strike at 4:30, and turned into
bed.^ After he had fallen into a sound
sleep, he was startled by a vigorous
knocking at his chamber door, and
asked sharply “What’s wanted?” The
landlord’s voice came through the pan
el, “Stranger, seeing as you’ve got the
clock all fixed, I wish you’d call the
other chap in 85, who said he’d like to
take that early train if I could find any
way of waking him up in time.” The
traveler was displeased, but be was the
only one to complain of the manner of
conducting the hotel in forty years, the
old fellow told us. ,--■■■
Activity Is not Always Energy.
There are some men whose failure to
succeed in life is a problem to others, as
well as to themselves. They ars indus
trious, prudent and economical; yet
after a long life of striving, old age finds
them still poor. They complain of ill
lack. They say fate is alway against
them. But the fact is that they mis
carry because they have mistaken mere
activity for energy. Co’founding two
things essentially different, they have
supposed that if they were always busy,
they would be certain to be advancing
their fortunes. They have forgotten
that misdirected efforts is bat a waste of
activity. The person who would suc
ceed in life is like a marksman firing at
a target; if his shots miss the mark,
they are a waste of powder. So in the
great game of life; what a man does
must be made to count, or it might al
most have been left undone. Every
body knows some one in his circle of
friends, who, though always alert, has
this want of energy. The distemper, if
we may call it such, exhibits itself in
various ways. In some cases the man
has merely an executive, faculty, when
he should have a directive one; in other
language, he makes a capital clerk, for
himself, when he ought to do the think
ing of the business. In other oases
what is dons is not done either at the
right time or in the right way. En
ergy, correctly understood, is activity
proportioned to the end.
We extract the following description
of Edison’s late invention on electric
light, from a late issue of the Cincinnati
Commercial: It will be recollected that
a premature announcement of this dis
covery agits ted England in the fall of
1878, and caused a panic among the
holders of gas stock. This happened
owing to the unauthorized publication
of a few enthusiastic phrases from a
private letter. As a matter of fact, at
that time Mr. Edison waa far from the
solution of the mystery of producing
and diffusing light by electricity. He
had not then earned the splendid suc
cess he has now achieved.
Then there were interviews of Edison
by enterprising newspaper correspond
ents of American and English journals,
all expressing great expectations and
giving picturesque accounts of the
mighty inventor and his mystical work
shop. After a period of almost total
silence, as Edison began to refuse to see
interviewers, for the reason that they
took time and strength, and committed
him to inaccuracies that excited the
meckery of men of science, we heard of
the lamp in which platinum was em-
ploved, and its complex gearing to pre
vent the flow of too much electricity.
The general effect of this was to re
duce the anticipation of Edison’s suc
cess to minimum. The panic in gas
stock passed away altogether. The ap
peal to American miners to find enough
platinum to make it a cheap metal ex
cited amusement rather than alarm
among the holders of investments in il
lumination. The point of the discovery
we make known this morning, is that
carbonized paper anewere the purpose that
it wai thought platinum alone could terve,
and is not only as cheap as ashes, but
better than precious metal. All diffi
culties but this of the composi
tion cf the wick of the elec
tric candle had been overcome. The
generation of electricity ha* become
familiar. There are many well-known
electrical machines. The divisibility
of the current has been found possible.
It is as divisible under Edison’s process
as a volume of gas.
Wbat of the Edison lamp? It can be
made at a cost of twenty-five cents.
In the simplest form it is as cheap as a
gas tip. It is a plan glaBS globe, about
the : size of a small .orange or large
lemon. In the bottom is fitted a metal
lic stopper, through which the copper
wires pass, and a strip of carbonized
paper, shaped like a horseshoe, connects
the wires. The air is exhausted in the
globe. Turn on the electricity, which ,
is quite as simple an operation as turn
ing on gas, and the carbon becomes and
remains luminous, giving out a soft,
brilliant, powerful light, and the wick
endures. No limit to its endurance has
been found. No matches are needed to
strike a light.' You touch the key and
there is your illumination. The glass
globe dees not become heated. It grows
warm, but by no possibility can there
be any combustion. Break the glass
and the light is instantly and ut erly
extinguished. The moment the air en
ters, the light is out. It would be per
fectly safe, therefore, to use snch a
light in a powder magazine. It will be
of inestimable advantage on shipboard.
It can be applied with the happiest re
sults in mines heretofore extra hazard
ous. It will, by at once abolishing the
use of matches in our houses, and intro
ducing a light that neither heats nor
enkindles, vastly reduce the liability of
fire, and thus speedily pat down the
rates of insurance. This light will do
away with the necessity of heat in well
lighted apartments. One can produce
a dazzling illuminatian without chang
ing the temperature.
As there is no combustion, there is
no smoke, so that this is the light long
sought for picture galleries. W herever
a wire can be stretched, light may be
cheaply produced, so there will be no
excuse for dark alleys. This will be the
terror of the burglars, for by the noise
less touching of a key, not only an
apartment, but an entire house, may be
instantly flooded with light, to the ter
ror of all who seek darkness that they
may do evil.
It is a light that does not harm the
eyes, and that may he shaded and
regulated at pleasure—combining the
softness of the oil lamp with the splen
dor of the burning of carbon points.
The opinion is not entertained that an
entire city could be supplied with
electricity from a single establishment.
New York, for instance, is to be divided
into twelve districts, each receiving the
magical current from an independent
center. From four to six districts under
this system would comprehend the com
pact portion of Cincinnati.
Edison’s favorite theory on the sub
ject is that the gas companies will he
glad to buy the right of lighting under
his invention, and that the wires will
be conveyed through the gas pipes, the
new lamp being simply screwed on
where the gas tips are found. Very
fine insulated wire will suffice. All the
appointments are simple.
Agents are already here for the pur
pose of introducing the Edison lamp.
The object is not to sell the right to in
dividuals, hut to employ capital in sup
plying districts. It is Edison’s careful
sti mate that the cost of the electric
ight, according to this system, will be
omething less than one-half the cost of
coal gas. He is sure it will not exceed
that figure. Beyond that, he proposes
to use electricity as a motor, to run
sewing machines and the like, and has
prepared a meter for the exact meas
urement of the electricity furnished to
each house. We need not dwell upon
the importance of this discovery. It is
revolutionary.

Not a week later Mrs. 8|
seated herself again at
black dress had suffered _ ..
contact with muddy roads en the way.
The black Bun-bonnet was limper and
rustier than ever. Their wearer drop
ped into a chair, and crossed her hands
dejectedly on her knees.
“ Recon ye done heered ’boat my gal
bein’ married,” she said, without raising
her eves from tie floor.
' “Yes,'I was much surprised to hear
it,” tne mistress replied. “She must be
very young.”
“ Yes, she it tol’able young, is sis—
goin’ on fifteen. But now, I was married
at thirteen—I was sol”
She looked up quickly, but, catching
an expression of disapproval on the mis
tress’s face, she cast her eyes again upon
the floor. .
“The wust on it is,” continued she,
“ he ain’t got a cent, nor he can’t make
one, nuther.”_
*• Why did you let your daughter take
him, then I”
“ Well, he come a-dwellin’ round sis,
an’ he’d alius a powder-horn a-hangin’

“Not earn any more!” cried the mis
tress incredulously. “ What is the
matter that he can’t work and support
your daughter properly ?*’
Mrs. Spriggle pushed back her bonnet
and crossed her knees before she an
swered. Then she shook her heSd
mournfully.
“ 1 never found out,” she said, “ till
they was done married as how he’d

gust, “he’s the powerfullest no account

“ You must feel badly to let your

“Oh, law, she ain’t gone! Did ye

Why, don’t you know? They’s a-livin’

This amazing piece of intelligence
nearly took away the mistress’ breath.
Before she could reply, Mrs. Spriggle
continued:

“ But how could you let her marry

Bemarkable Spots on the Sun.
Some large and remarkable spots iiave
recently been seen on the sun, and it is
worth the whi.e of those who have tele
scopes to watch closely the solar disk.
Sun spots are interesting objects, even
when they remain substantially un
changed in appearance from day to day;
but when, as sometimes happens, start
ling changes are seen to take place under
the very eyes of the observer, the inter
est rises to the highest pitch. What
student of nature would not willingly
spend hours at the telescope with the
chance of seeing, for instance—what
was once actually observed—a great spot
on the sun suddenly split in two, the
pieces gliding rapidly apart as though
sliding over smootn ice?
Sun spots have an especial interest on
account of the unexplained connection
between them, or their cause, and the
phenomena of terrestrial magnetism.
As a general rule, when sun spots are
numerous, the mystic curtains of the
Aurora are frequently seen waving
noiselessly in the northern heavens. It
is not unlikely this brilliant auroral
display may be seen this winter.

Mrs. Spriggle’s face, which had

A Sad Story.
A very singular case of loss of per
sonal identity has been discovered at
Bellair, Ohio" and has attracted much
attention from medical men, who all
admit that nothing just like it has ever
before come uuder their immediate ob
servation. Some nine months ago, a
man, apparently about 50, rather
slender, of good address, and neatly at
tired, found himself standing od the
platform of the railway station of that
town, a little money in his pocket, and
a valise in his hand, containing under
clothes and toilet articles. He had no
idea of his name, and nothing furuisl»ed
any clue to it except the one word
“ Ralph,” written on a night shirt.
For two or three hours he tried to trace
some connection between himself and
the past, but without avail. Eveiy-
thing was blank to the moment when
he seemed to have awakened from a
long, oblivious sleep. He went to the
nearest inn; informed its keeper of bis
peculiar mental condition, and retired
early to bed, persuaded that his memory
would soon he restored. The next day
a temperance lecturer came to the house
and getting acquainted with Ralph in
vited him to hear his discourse in the
evening. Ralph was present, and while
listening attentively was seized with an
uncontrollable desire to run out-doors
and break the windows of an adjacent
groggery. This brought out a number
of its patrons, including the barkeeper,
who, after falling upon him and beating
him very badly, caused his arrest.
Several prominent citizens became in
terested in him and labored in vain to
learn something of his antecedents.
The physician of the county (Belmont)
infirmary made his acquaintance, ana
after a while, seeing that he was very
intelligent, quick-witted and trust
worthy, appointed him his assistant.
He has far more than average capacity,
has a good knowledge of business and
is a very expert penman. He is men
tally sound in everything except per
sonal identity. Many people thought
him feigning" at first, but nine months
of close observation has convinced them
of his absolute sincerity, and Dr. He-
wetter of the infirmary has reported the
stransre case in full to the Hospital
Gazette.

“Now, I sent a long letter myseli to

The reporter was duly impressed.
(Reporters are an impressible race, with
an exterior system of nerves.) He re
plied to the disappointed author that
these were precisely his sentiments, and
that he would have sacrificed a week’s
salary any time to have read that paper
on the “ Philosopy of the Ancient Art
in Greece.”
The amateur author and the sympa
thetic reporter parted affectionately,
and the reportorial intellect strayed into
the house of a leading publisher.
It was evident that something had
slightly disturbed the usually fine equi
poise of the man of books. He looked
interrogatively at the reporter, whose
mercurial sensibilities perceived the
variation in the intellectual temperature
of that leading house.

The Uninformed Yisitor.
[low* State Register.]
The funniest scene of the year oc
curred at Gen. Sherman’s headquarters
Tuesday. A Senator was showing the
sights of Washington to a country con
stituent, and introducing him to dis
tinguished men. Among other places.
1 he took him to see the General of the
Army. The constituent shook hands
with Gen. Sherman, and remarked, in an
innocent way:
“ You were in the late war, were vou
not?”
The Senator says that Gen. Sherman
was never before nonplussed in his life,
and as soon as he could do so, decently,
the Senator dragged his friend out. It
is understood in “official” quarters that
the man was from Keokuk.
Drunkards’ Wives.
If there be a lonely woman amid the
multitude of lone and sorrowful women
more to be pitied than another, I think
it i| a wife looking upon the one she has
promised to honor, lying upon the bed
with his hat and boots on. Her com
forter, who swore at her as long as he
could speak at all. Her protector, ut
terly unable to brush a fly from his
own face. Her companion, lying in
the stupor of death, with none of
its solemn dignity. As he is entirely
unconscious of her acts, I wonder if she
never employs the slowly passing mo
ments in taking down her old idol, her
ideal, from its place in her memory and
comparing it with its broken and de
faced image before her. Of all poor,
broken idols, scattered into fragments
for the divine patience of womanhood
to gather together and cement with
tears, such a ruin sis this seems the
most impossible to mold anew into any
form of homeliness. And if there is a
commandment seemingly impossible to
obey, it is for a woman to love a man
she is in deadly fear cf, honor a man
she can’t help but be ashamed of, obey
a man who cannot speak his commands
intelligently.
The theory of recognizing our friends
in a future world is a beautiful one,
and worthy of much thought, but I
think it is commendable to try to keep
our friends in a condition to recognize
us in this world, try to keep a man
while he is alive so he will know his
wife and children, and not, as often oc
curs, turn them out into the storm of a
winter midnight, or murder them in his
frenzy.
What to Teach.—Rev. Charles
Brooks, father of the State normal
schools in America, wa3 asked by a
teacher this question: “ What shall I
teach my pupils?” Ha answered, “Teach
them thoroughly these five things: 1. To
live religiously. 2. To think compre
hensively. 4. To reckon mathemati
cally. 4. To converse fluently; and, 6.
T< write grammatically. If you suc
cessfully teach them these five things,
you will nobly have done your duty to
your pupils, to their parents, to your
country, and to yourself.”—Sdentific
American.

tional news instead of those magazine
The book publisher listened atten
tively, and it was evident that his
wounded feelings were - somewhat
soothed.
“ Of course I do not blame any one,”
he said, “ still there is reason in all
things, and you see it is book reviews
that the people want. Now the Semi-
Daily Trumpet is a very good paper, as
newspapers go, but a little more atten
tion to literary matters would do a great
deal for its circulation. Literature is
the bread of life.”
“ Certainly,” responded the reporter,
“ I agree with you. If I were the edi
tor of the Trumpet I should make book
reviews the leading speciality of the
paper, and”—but just here the reporter
caught Bight of an insurance man, and
fearing to be told that life insurance
should be the leading topic of the
journal of which he was the unworthy
representative, he hurried his oreide
watch into his pocket, picked up his five
cent handkerchief, which in his conster
nation he had dropped, and made the
best of his way to the obscurest corner
of the office of the Semi-Daily Trumpet,
where he mediated upon the capabilities
for differentiated tastes presented by the
human race, and he wondered why that
fellow Huxley didn’t write it up.
Men TYlio Require Presence of Mind.
Many railroad accidents are pre
vented by a presence of mind on the
part of engineers. A passenger train
on the Chicago, Burlington &. Quincy
Road was rounding a sharp curve, just
under a piece of tall timber. The
watchful engineer saw a tree lying
across the track Bixty feet ahead of the
locomotive. The train was running at
the rate of thirty-five miles an hour,
and to check its momentum before
reaching the obstruction was out of the
question. The engineer took in the
situation at a glance. He threw the
throttle wide open, and the engine shot
ahead with the velocity of an arrow
and with so tremendous a force that the
not so cool a head would have made
the best possible use of those sixty feet
in the way of checking the speed of the
train. That would have caused a dis
aster.
Bradford, an engineer, was bringing
an express train over the Kankakee
line from Indianapolis. As the engine
shot out from the deep cut and struck
a short piece of straight track leading
to a bridge, a herd of colts were dis
covered running down the road. The
distance to the river was only 100 feet.
Bradford knew he could not stop the
train, and also knew if the colts bent
the locomotive to the bridge they wouid
fall between the timbers, and the ob
struction would throw the train off and
probably result in a frightful loss of
life. It took him only a half a second
to think of this. The other half of the
second was utilized in giving his engine
such a quantity of steam that it covered
that one hundred feet of track in about
the same that a bolt of lightning would
travel from the top of a lightning-rod to
the ground. The colts were struck
and knocked down the embankment
just as the were entering the bridge.

eel as if they would be more comfort
able to get up than to remain in bed;
that is the only true measure of suffi
ciency of rest and sleep. But one who
gets up in the morning feeling as if he
“ would give anything in the world ” to
remain in bed a while longer, does vio
lence to his own nature, and will al
ways suffer from it—not immediately,
it may be, but certainly in later years,
by the cumulative ill effects of the most
unwise practice. In any given case,
the person who gets up in the morning
before he is fully rested will lack just
that much of the energy requisite for
the day’s pursuit.
As a people, we do not get enough
sleep, we do not get enough rest, we
will not take time for these things;
hence our nervousness, our instaDility,
our hasty temper, and the premature
giving out of the stamina of life. Half
of us are old at three-score, the very
time man ought to be in his mental,
moral and physical prime. Half of our
wives, especially in the farming dis
tricts, die long before their time, be
cause they do not get rest ana sleep pro
portioned to their labor. Nine times
out of ten it would be better for all
f iarties if the farmer should get up and
ight the fires and prepare breakfast for
his wife, she coming directly from her
toilet to the breakfast table, because it
almost always happens that she has to
remain up to see things right long after
the husband has gone to bed. This is a
monstrously cruel imposition en wives
and mothers.

Meteorological observations have
now become so extended that evidence
is rapidly accumulating to enable us to
determine positively the source of the
cold aerial waves v*ich sweep across the
country during our winter season. The
indications are that we owe them to the
great area of high barometer in North
eastern Siberia, where the pressure
sometimes exceeds 31.50 inches and the
temperature falls as low as 76 degrees
belew zero. The pole of the greatest
cold is in the neighborhood of Yakutsk,
on the Lena, where the average ther
mometric reading in January is 41
degrees below zero, and where the sever
est cold exceed* by ten degrees that ex
perienced by explorers In high arctic
regions. This is also the region of the
highest barometric pressure known in
winter, and from it, doubtless, proceed
the waves of intense cold which play so
large a part in our winter experiences.

An Editor’s Dream.
He fell asleep after a time, and lo I he
dreamed again. And it seemed to him
in a vision that, having armed himself
with certain papers ana books, he turned
his stepB once more toward the place
and knocked at the gate.
“Hello, is that you againf’ said
Peter. “ What do you wish?”
“ Let these persons again come forth,”
replied the editor, and Peter this time
made them all pass through the gate and
stand outside.
They came as before and uttered the
same cries as before.
“ Why didn’t you notiee that big egg
I gave you?” yelled the first.
** It was rotten,” replied the editor.
“ Why didn’t you write up my soda
fountain ?” cried the druggist.
“You had your tickets printed at the

“ Why did you write about old Tom
linson’s hens and never gpaak of my new

said the editor.
“ Why did you snell my name wrong

“ Take a look at this manuscript of
yourB&nd see for yourself,” said the edi
tor with a grim smile.
The rest of the company yelled their
complaints in unison, and the editor
calmly sorted out a series of bills for un
paid subscriptions, and presented each
with one; and it was so, that when they
had received them, they all tore their
hair and rushed violently down a steep
place into the sea, and St. Peter, taking
the editor calmly by the hand, led him
within the gate and said:
“ Come, friend; these chaps managed
to slip through here in spite of us, but,
thanks to the press, we now know, what
sort of fellows they are. Come in and
stay; we need a few such men as you in
here.”
