Tronf. Flitting at srigbt.
One evening in June, when seated In the infancy of cricket there were
by the fireside of the Weldon Bridge, \ no stumps at all; instead of wickets,
Charlie and I fell into a discussion I the early players cut in the turf two
about night fishing with worm for' circular holes, and the batsman was
_ trout in warm weather, and we agreed put out in running, not, as now, by
that it would be well to give it a trial
and asoertam how far our Flews were
correct. ‘‘Well, then,” said I. “no
time iika the present.” But Charlie
was too comfortable and too sleepy to
respond to my summons; so, preparing
my rod and line, off I started to a
stream about half a mile down the
river. The night was very dark, and
I found my way with difficulty.
Arriving at the intended spot, I waded
across a somewhat deep stream to
reach one still deeper near to the
further bank. Standing in the water,
I placed a lively bob on the hook and
cast my line up the stream; the worm
scarcely touched the water when I feU
a tug and succeeded in drawings large
trout toward me. Having basketed this
I threw again with the same result,
and now astonishment awaited me.
There was not a breath of wind, the
water was flowing gently, and caused
but little sound, when, all at once, my
ears were assailed by such a tumult of
fish spattering and Epiasliing as I never
had before heard; the river seemed
alive with large fish. My heart beat,
for there seemed something uncannr
In the affair; still I persevered, and
succeeded in Securing four more fish.
Suddenly all was still; not a fish was
heard to move, and not another bite
was to be had. I could neither see nor
hear anything to account for the sud
den change, so home I started, proud
of my six fish, considerably larger than
any we had taken in the river by day
light. The unpleasantness of angling
with worms in the dark is so great that
I have never tried the experiment
again, but of its success there can be
no doubt. One night at Gernsback, in
the Black Forest, Mr. Henderson
writes, a strange fancy took such strong
possession of me that I felt constrained
to bow to it. The night was pitch dark,
and distant thunder gave the proverbi
al warning that all fishing was out of
the question; still, mad as the idea
seemed. I determined to make an e a eay
in front of the hotel. So black was the
night that a lighted lantern was nees-
sary to guide me in arranging my rod
and tackle at the door. This done, I
sought the edge cf the lawn, by the
side of which rushed a rough, rapid
stream, which sped from a mill immedi
ately above.
Scarcely had I taken my position
near the top of the stream when the
lightning blazed forth, illuminating
the pine-clad hills and making a sud
den glare far exceeding that of bright
est sunshine. Each tree of the fo.est
might be distinguished while the
lightning quivered in the sky, and then
followed a darkness so intense that I
could not see the rod, and could scarce
ly distinguish my hand. The dark in
tervals between the flashes might be
five minutes, and it was during these
that I cast mj flies straight across the
mill stream. The instant flies tell upon
the water there was a tug, then a rush,
and all was quiet. I was amazed, but
at length concluded that a passing stick
had struck my hook. Another cast of
the line, and there wa3 no room for
doubt—a heavy fish was pulling violent
ly. It was long before the strength of
the current allowed me to land my
prize; indeed, it was only by tlielight-
ning’s flash that I could judge where
or how to do this. 1 fished the stream
steadily downward for about 100yards;
the lightning showed me where to
throw my flies; all around was inky
blackness. I cast, and_ qq, e
ft'rength of the current enabled many
a fish to getaway, but at the end of
half an hour my basket held eight fish,
and when these were tabled at the
hotel they proved to be three trout,
three graylings and two fish resembling
chub. The least was three-quarters of
a pound in weight and the largest
pound and a hal f—altogether a beauti
ful dish, and the fish by far the largest
In size I had captured during my
week’s angling. What speculations
these two experiments force upon the
angler’s mind as to the feeding of fish
on dark nights, when they are com
monly supposed to be at rest! I am
compelled to theonolusion that in these
night banquets is found the true an
swer to the fisherman’s too common
question, “Why do the fish not take?
The water is In good order, the wind is
right, and everything bespeaks a good
day’s sport, but they won’t take.” The
response should he, “Dined already
and requiring time for digestion.”
Tbe Sancy Diamond.
AGRICULTURE.
The “Sancy” diamond was a fine
stone of 5S> s ' carats. It was picked up
on the field of Nancy by a Swiss soldier
who sold it for a florin to a priest; it was
unsuspiciously redisposed of by him
for a scarcely larger sum, and trans
ported by the currents of chance or
trade to Portugal, where it figured in
1489 among the crown jewels of the
unlucky Dom Antonio. This monarch,
in difficulties first pledged and then
sold it for 100,000 livres to Harlay de
Sancy, a French nobleman, whose de
scendant, Nicolas de Sancy, was in
duced to place the gem in pawn for
the relief of a pressing exigency ofthe
crown in the time of Henri Ill. For
this purpose it was intrusted to a ser
vant to be carried to a jeweller at Metz;
but neither servant nor jewel reached
their destination, and the conclusion
seemed inevitable that the temptation
had proved too strong for the man’s
fidelity. De Sancy alone never waver
ed in his reliance on the devotion of
bis dependant and maintained that only
with his life would ho have separated
from the precious charge comm.t ed t„
him. And. in fact, after ssme further
search had been made, the murdered
body of the messenger was found by
the roadside, it was opened, and the
diamond was discovered in tbe stomach!
Waiting for Navigation to Raopeo,
putting down a wicket, but by the ball
being popped into tbls bole (whence
“popping crease,” says Mr. Pycroft)
before the point of the bat was ground
ed in it. It is most probable that orig
inally tbe single stump was placed at
the hole to point it out to the bowier
and fielders, very much as the “flags”
used for this purpose at the holes in
goli. In process of time the frequent
disputes as to whether bat or ball
reached this first, as weU as injuries
received in the unseemly tussles, would
naturally suggest that tbe beacon
st^rap should be made more useful, and
that the runner should be out if this
were displaced, as well as by holding
the ball, it is uncertain whan the
second stump was added, but it was a
very obvious step irom a single stump
to one on each side of the old block-
hole. In 1700 we find Mr. Gale’s
‘.‘skeleton hurdle” only a foot high,
though two feet wide. There was no
middle stump till, in a match of the
Hambletonian Club, in 1755, it was ob-
seived that at a critical partof the game
the ball went three times between the
stumps without knocking off the ball;
then a third Btump was added to the di
mensions of the wicket, till, in 1817, it
attained to the size at which it has eyer
since remained. In 1797 the Earl of
Winchester, a good Cricketer and great
supporter of the game, attempted to in
troduce a fourth stump, that “the game
might be thus rendered shorter by eas
ier bowling out;” but nothing came of
this except on one memorable occasion
when, in July, 1837, Mr. Ward proposed
as a method of equalizing the Gentle
men and Players, that the former
should defend wickets t f 27 by 8 inches,
the latter four stumps 36 by 12. This
was called the “Barn-door Match,” or
“Ward’s Folly,” and, notwithstanding
the great odds against them, the Play
ers won In a single inning by ten runs.
Undoubtedly the greatest and most
pregnant innovation in cricket was the
introduction ol round-arm bowling.
The credit for its invention appears to
be due to Tom Walker, a professional
ofthe old Hambletonian Club; but his
“throwing” was pronounced unfair,
and was suppressed and forgotten, till,
about a quarter of a century afterward,
it was again introduced by Mr. John
Willes, a Kentish amateur, who, it was
said, learned the delivery from his sis
ter, who used to throw the ball at him
in practice. Mr. Willes’ bowling fig
ured in one or two great matches, nota
bly in one on July 20, 1807, thirteen of
All England against twenty-three of
Kent, for a thousand guineas, on Pen-
enden Heath. Kent won by 162 runs,
and Wilson's bowling greatly helped
to bring this about. As with Tom
Walker, so with Mr. Willes. He and
his bowling “were frequently barred
in making a match,” says Mr. Pycroft,
“and he played sometimes amid much
uproar and confusion. Still, he would
persevere till the ring closed in on the
players; the stumps were lawlessly
pulled up, and all came to a stand
still.” It was not till Mr. Knight, of
Alton, espoused the cause ot round-arm
bowling in 1825, that it became a per
manent instution, after much contro
versy though, and no little ridicule of
the “throwing” style.
Captured by Devils.
Three Chinamen of I street San Fran
cisco have been driving a thriving busi
ness of late picking wild berries three
e ii ot the city, and
selling them in tovm.. * f CT / oaa»
since, while they were in the black
berry region, one of their number, Ah
Hoy, got lost, and the other two, after
making considerable search, came home
without him. The next day they re
turned in search, but, nothing was seen
or learned of him till the tuira day,
when they found him Bitting in the
shade of a large tree, and apparently
oblivious to everything about him.
Upon going up to him and asking where
he had been, he aroused from his
thoughtful mood, and said he had been
there under the tree all the time and had
plenty of company; and lots of people
had been with him all the time, and
brought him all he wanted of nice
things to eat. Thus aroused the super
stitious nature of those who had found
him, and they at once solved the mys
tery by concluding that devils had
caught him in the bushes and had him
in their control and keeping for the
three days, and fed him upon their
lood. This was sufficient watchword
for those who had discovered his
Satanie Majesty was numerous in that
region and they made excellent time
in getting out with the victim and has
tening him to Chinatown. He is now-
well, he says, but cannot account for
three days, only as he related when
they found him, and the Celestials con-
inue to look upon him with much
caution, fearing there may be still
some devils lying around loose in his
clothes. The man was evidently over
come with heat and probably suffered
partial sunstroke, as similar experi
ences and imaginations are frequent
from that cause.
CXDiaDEZISINO WITH Sio**.—The
best time to construct underdrains is
In the spring of the year, when the
land is soft. When made @f stone, they
not only last for all time, but carry off
any surface water much sooner' than
tile. In cutting a ditch for a drain,
the most expeditious way is to first run
a furrow with a two horse plough, as
straight as possible, where drain is to
be, and on this first lurrow backfurrow
another of equal width. Then, after
shovelling to one side the earth ol
which this double furrow is composed,
repeat the ploughing and shovelling
by attaching a short chain between the
doubletree and clevis, to increase the
distance between the two, and thus
cause the plough to run the required
depth. By this means, i. e., is oy re
peated ploughing and shovelling out,
a depth of irom fifteen to twenty in
ches may be obtained, and of the prop
er width the drain is to be. This much
done, hitch the two horses, one in front,
ot the other (tandem fashion), to a sin
gle-coulter plough, with which rip up
the sub-soil and throw out as beiore—
repeating the operation until the prop
er depth s had. In finishing the bot
tom of the intended drain, care should
oe taken to have it of unilorm smooth
ness throughout its entire itngth, on
ly sufficiently inclining towards the
mouth 10 cause the water to flow with
equal freedom through every part ol
the drain; otherwise little depressions
will be left in the bottom of the dram,
in which sediment will accumulate to
such au extent as to obstruct tbe free
passage of tbe water, and thus choke
up the drain and render it useless,
ine next thing then is to prepare the
stone lor constructing the drain—should
be broken iute pieces not larger tliau
goose eggs, the smaller ones to take
tueir place in the bottom of ihe drain
and tbe larger ones to be thrown in
promiscuously until to within a loot
or so of the surface, and, covering the
same w.lh a lew leaves from the woods
to fill the balance of tbe drain with
the excavated earih. Where low pla
ces occur m a field, on which water is
inclined to stand so as to interfere with
their cultivation, and for which no
outlet can be conveniently had by
means of a drain, a very good substi
tute will be found by diggiug a hole
through the clay, some three or lour
leet in diameter, filling the same wKh
stone to within a lew inches of the top

How to- Mask and Usb Glu*.—
Break the glue up small, put it into an
iron kettle, cover the glue with water,
and allow it to soak twelve hours; after
soaking, boil until done. Then pour it
Into an air-tight box; leave the cover
off until cold, then cover up tight. As
glue la required, cut out a portion and
melt it in the usual way. Expose no
more of tbe made glue to the atmos
phere fore any length ot lime than is
necessary, as the atmosphere is very
destructive to made glue. All the glue
received from the factory requires the
addition of water before It will melt
properly, and eve-y addition of water
(while the glue is fresh made) will, up
to a certain point, increase its adhes
iveness and elasticity. Some glues will
bear more water than usually falls to
their share, and that, too,- with a
greater increase in the quality of ihe
work. For glue to be properly effec
tive, It requires to penetrate the pores
of ihe woud, and the more a body of
glue penetrates the wood, tbe more
substantial tbe joint will remain. Glues
that take the longest to dry are to bs
preferred to those that dry quick, the
-low-drying glues being always the
strongest, other things being equal.
Never beat made glue in a pot that is
subjected to the direct ht-ai of tbe fire
or lump. All 6uch methods of heating
glue cannot be condemned in terms ton
severe. Do not use thick glue ft r
joints or veneering. In ail cases work
it. well into the wood in a similar man
ner to what painters do with paint.
Glue both surfaces of your work, ex
cepting in the case of veneering. Never
glue upon hot wood, or use hot cauls
to veneer with, as the hot wood will
absorb all the water in the glue too
suddenly, and leave only a very little
residue, with no adhesiveness in it
whatever.

Wood Posts.—The decay of wood

increase the durability of posts put in

simply by taking care that the wood is

as that in which they grew, top up

Meerschaum Mines In Asia Minor.
The most extensive deposits of meer
schaum in Asia Minor are about
twenty-four miles southeast of the city
of Eskischer, formerly Dorylea, the
inhabitants of which, numbering about
twelve thousand Armenians and Turks,
are principally employed in collect
ing or detling in this mineral. It is
obtained down in the earth, shafts or
pits being sunk to a depth of twenty-
seven to thirty-three feet. Forty to
fifty miners work in one mine and
form a company, dividing the profits
among themselves. The stones gener
ally irregular in shape, and vary great
ly in size, being from the size of a nut
to a square foot or more. The largest
pieces are the most in demand, and the
dearest. The mineral, when freshly
dug, is of a yellowish white color, and
covered about a finger thick with a red,
greasy earth, so soft that it can be cut
wlthaknile. Tbe treatment which the

An Efficient Disinfectant. — A
disinfeclant ingeniously composed of
one part of rectified oil of turpentine
and seven parts benzine, with the ad
dition of five drops of oil of verbena to
each ounce, is recommended by Dr.
Day, an Australian physician, for de
stroying the poison germs of small-pox,
scarlet lever, and other infectious dis
eases in hospitals. Its purifying and
disinlecting properties are due, he says,
to the power which is possessed by
each of the ingredients of absorbing
atmospheric oxygen, and converting
it into peroxide of hydrogen—a highly
active oxidizing "agent, and very
similar in its nature to ozone. Articles
of clothing, furniture, wall paper,
carpeting, books, newspapers, letter;
etc., may, it is stated, be completely
saturated with it without receiving the
slightest injury; and when it has been
once freely applied to any roug’i
porous surface its action will be persist
ent for an almost indefinite period.
Chocolate Jelly.— Grate enough
ceivable variety, and lately one was
exhibited made entirely of champagne
corks, with a stout wire passed through
them. The handles have many more
sources to boast, as there are many
materials not large enough to make
whole sticks, such for instance as the
teeth of the giraffe, the walrus, the
elephant; and, in fact-, most large teeth,
and elk horns are useful for the pur
pose. It is a remarkable fact that wo
men are seldom employed at stick
making, and boys but little, there be
ing so much knowledge and skill re
quired for the various processes that
men are chiefly employed. It is also
singular that steam power is not in
use to any large extent; machinery
has the power of turning out large
quantities of goods all alike, but can
not vary thorn. There must not be two
alike, and if nature is humored, as it is
by skUled workmen, there canuot be;
It will readily be seen that a fixed
method cannot be applied to all, as
each
peoallar to itself.
Should not be too sweet.
Goodell Cake.—Three-fourths cup
butter, one cup water, two cupsjsugar,
two and one-half cups flour, four eggs,
two and one-half teaspoons baking
powder; take sugar and butter, work
with tbe hands; th’n yolk of eggs,
flour, water and baking pewder, then
whites beat to froth.
Rice Cakes.—Boil rice until It is
sofr, and while warm make it into
cakes or flat balls. Dip the balls into
a beaten egg, and then roll them in In
dian meal until thoroughly coated.
This done, fry them in lard, which is
better than butter for this purpose.
Serve them with eauce, or with butter,
or with cream and sugar.

remained there until death should have
come to my relief, but for a friend of
mine at Weldon, N. C , recommending

most happy result. I am now well,

“8. Gaston P. O., N. C.”
Diagnosis by the Microphone.—The
principle of the microphone in medical
anil surgical diagnosis has recently
been lectured upon by Sir Henry
Thompson, London. He showed how
a small aeousti; wave is converted by
it into a large electrical vibration,
which is reconverted into sound at the
diaphragm of the telephone, where it
is received by the ear of the operator.
Thus, in the case ol stone In the blad
der, tbe minute wave transmitted
through the sound on its impact with
a very small stoue is so magnified that
the operator is enabled to determine
with certainly on the presence of the
smallest stone or particle of atone or
other foreign substance. These expe
riments, it appears, were conducted
with a couple or steel sounds, each fit
ted with the microphone, and an arti
ficial bladder, iu which was concealed,
in turbid fluid, a naturally formed
uvic acid stone, about as large as a
pea.
From observing the effects of petro
leum upon the heads cf operatives at
the wells came the shrewd Pitts-
ourglier’s great discovery Carboline,
a deodorized extractor petroleum. This
is the only article that will produce
new hair on bald heads. It never fails.

A Busy Life.
The World’s Dispensary at Buffalo,
N. Y., is a great institution having its
auxiliary Invalids’ Hotel, for accom
modation of patients, costing its foun
der nearly half a million of dollars,
ind its branch in London, England, of
-dmilar proportions, where Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery, Pleasant
Purgative Pellets and other remedies
ire manufactured for the foreign trade,
which extends to the East Indies, China
and other far distant countries. All
obis mammoth business has been or
ganized, s.vstemized and built up by
Dr. R. V. Pierce, who lias associated
with himself as a Faculty, under the
name of the World’s Dispensary Medical
Association, a most competent staff of
physicians and surgeons who annually
treat many thousinds of cases of
chronic diseases, not by prescribing any
set lot of remedies but" by using all such
specific remedies as have, in large ex
perience, been found most efficacious.
Besides organizing and directing this
mammoth business of world-wide pro
portions, Dr. Pierce has found time to
write a work on domestic medicine—
entitled ‘‘The People’s Common Sense
Medical Adviser”—1,000 pages, 300
Illustrations, selling at $1.50, aud also
to serve a term as State Senator and
later as a member of Congress. Surely
he must be competent If he were to take
the lecture platform, to discourse upon
“the ieoolleotions of a busy life."

A recently publ ished German work gives
some interesting details of the precau
tions taken to preserve the health ot
tbe workmen in a large manufactory
of coal-tar coloring materials, on tbe j
river Main, where more than a thou-
and workmen are employed. The
men are not only requested but practi
cally required to spend twenty-five
minutes a day in the bath and this
time is reckoned as a portion of the
working hours. Bath tubs ot special
construction are provided for the use
of those engaged in the violet and green
rooms, while ail the workmen actually
occupied with colors receive clean suits
of clothes every week from the pro
prietors. These statements certainly
indicate that noxious substances may
easily find their way into the coal-
lar colors now so extensively employed
tor ’dveing dress fabrics, and -that
the greatest care in the manufac
ture ot the coloring material is es
sential.
M. Fautrat has been convinced, by
his studies ofthe influence ot forests
upon the moist currents that pass over
them, that pines and other needle
leaved trees have a strong attraction
Tor the vapor of wat r. He believes
that ihe resinous trees perspire twice as
much as other trees; and has also ob
served that when they are exposed to
uoist air they absorb vastly more water
than tue latter.

All accessible information in regard
to the climate of New Soutb Wales,
since the settlement of that Australi
an colony, about ninety years ago, is
said to indicate that the climate of the
country is characterized by a nineteen-
year period of variation; that is to say,
the weather exhibits a similiar series
of changes every nineteen years.

An interesting experiment in nerve
gratting has been performed by a Buch

replaced it by a similar portion of tbe

recovered its power.
Professor Asa Whitney, writing upon
the rapidity of cell formation, cites an
instance where a century plant increas
ed six inches in diameter and »ne foot
in height in twenty-four hours, to do
which 2,000 000,000 cells had to be
formed, which required their formation
at the marvelous rate of 331,481 per

The St. Gothard Tunnel furnishes an
other striking example of accurate sur

of the tunnel is nine and a quarter
miles, ttie two galleries were bored
with such precision that they met with
a difference of only four inches in level
and a lateral deviation of Jess than
eight inches.
Sicedish meteorologists nave furnished
material for unlimited speculation by

riod from 1722 to 1799 auroras were ob
served on 4,245 uight.
