Corn
Is a vigorous feeder and re
sponds well to liberal fertiliza
tion. On corn lands the yield
increases and the soil improves
if properly treated with fer
tilizers containing not under
actual
Potash.
A trial of this plan costs but
little and is sure to lead to
profitable culture.

A Lesson in History
Wfl', Edith,, what or* you and
ftobert ho busy over now ?”
One of the lowered heads was
slowly ra'sed and its owner Baid :
"Grecian History, aunt.”
‘•Grecian H.story ! Well, which
f those interesting old Greeks is
claiming your attention ? ’
“Pythagoras,” answered Edith.
“And who might he have been, lit
tle woman? It was very long ago I
read shout him. Come, help me to
brighten my rusty history. What
di 1 h<> do ?"
“Aunt, you atwaye know every
thing, tit I am sure we couldn’t teach
von. But Pythagoras was a great
politician.”
“Indeed ! Is wisdom a quality of
great politicians ?”
“Now, aunt, don’t laugh at up,”
said Itober*, who was beginning to
tske a little interest in political mat
ters. “He was a little different from
our poll iciaus, I gues-, for, in the
first pi ice, he spent thirty years trav
eling ab nit from one country to an
other, that he might understand how
each was governed. Then he came
home and opened a school at Croto
na, where he taught many strange
things. But he was so opposed to
Ihe democracy that all his disciples
were driven out of Greece.”
"So everybody did not think be
knew so much, after all ?” said the
aunt.
“No,” answered Edith, “for be be
lieved such queer thihgs.”
“What, for instance ?”
“Well, he believed in the metem
psychosis.”
“Oh, my dear, please explain that
dreadful word.”
“You’re a very funny aunt. You
know perfectly well that it means the
transmigration of soula. And that
means tna‘, after death, the soul
goes wandering around from one an
imal <0 another—”
“Yes,” interrupted Kobert, “once
BOmeone was whipping a dog, and
when the dog crud, Pythagoras beg
ged that the whipping might be stop
ped. because, he said, the voice was
that of a dead friend cf his, and he
knew that his soul must huve gone
into the dog when he died. Wasn’t
that u terrible thing ? ’
“Yes, it was,” said ihe auut, “but
we have been better taught than
those old Greeks. Still, lie's very
interesting. What else cau you tell
me about him
“Well, he said numbers were the
principles of everything; aud he
said, too, that all the worlds made
music in their motion. I supp >se
that is where the expression the mus
ic of the spheres comes from, don’t
you, auut ?'
“Yes, 1 suppose so."
“But he really did kuow a great
deal,” continued Robert, “for he
lined to say that all the planets re
volvo around the sun. The people
laughed at buu for hia curious no
tions ; though a great many years
Afterwards —two thousand, I think—
it was found out that Pythagoras hud
been right and all the rest of them
wrong, all the time. And wasn’t it
too bad that he was dead then, and
couldn’t say, “i told you so.”
“Yes, poor uiau ; he was too far
advanced for bisage,'’answered their
aunt. “But is that all you cun tell
me about hiui ?”
“Yes, except that he was a very
old man when he died—nearly eigh
ty, 1 think. I guess that’s all.”
“Very well, then, it s my turn to
teach you something. Once, when
Pythagoras was talking to liin pupils
be told them life was like tue letter
“How. aunt? What did ho mean?”
‘I think lii-< meaning was some
thing Iko this. F r a few years—
just a very tew —we go on in a
straight hue like the eum of the y.
I hen when boys and girls grt oi.l
enough to ehou-st there are two paths
opening before them, the right and
the wrou,'. But of course you are
sure to choose the right. So 1 will
leave you to your other lessonF."’
There was silence f>r a few min
utes after she h.ul left.
“What are you thinking about,
Robert ? ’
“I was wondering whetLer aunt
was Lying to find out if wv knew
our hist rv lesson, or was preaching
ns a svnn.<n. What were you think
ing ub jut ?’
“I was wondering which path we
are going to take. Whim niv you ’"

Mr. Samuel Claytor, of Fleming

88. Hj took an active p’t in the
campaign of 1840 for General Wil
liam Harrison, and one o f his proud
est possessions in his old age was
the bat he wore during the cam

the occasion of her marriage to Gen

The country people of England, as
well 9s of several otoer countries,have
an idea that the red on a robin’s
breast was caused by a drop of blood
which fell upon it at the crucifixion.
According to the story, the robin,
commi-er..ting the- condition ofChrist,
! triad to pluck the crown cf thorns
{from his brow, and in so doing got
{its breast wet with the blood that
; flowed from the wounds. The color
became permanent, being transmit
ted from generation to generation,
and thus uceordiog to the legend,the
robiu is a perpetual reminder of the
suffering of Corist.

The number of horses killed last

Horse flesh is sold at stalls where no
other kind of im at is allowed.
The question, why is spool cottoc
numbered as it is, and why are the
figures ujt used in regular order, is
olten asked. The explanation is this:
The number on the spool express the
number of banks which are required
to wind a pound. The very fiuest
spinning rarely exceeds 300 hanks to
tue pound, while in the very coarset
there is about half pound iu each
hank. The more common qualities,
ihowever, those from which sewing
thread is usually made runs from ten
to fifty hanks to the pound, and the
spools on which it is wound arc num
bered 10 to 50 in accordance.
A recent issne of ihe London Times
coutuined the following unique ad
vertisement: “Young lady required

10. As she unhappily lost a leg, is
considered possible that more sym

similar positiou;preference, therefore
given to such.
Anew fryiug pau that eliminates
the possibility of the foed burning is

An eider duck was recently shot on

Twenty years is a considerable age

least 3,500 miles from the place
where first caught,to the spot

DON’T USE TOBACCO.
Don’t use tobacco in any form is
my auvic®, said Dr. Fuokhouser, but
then I am an extremist in this re
spect, and therefore will modify, not
my views, but my talk. .
Why am I oppose ltoit ? Be
cause nicotine, and inodine, the lat
ter ingredient being present in all to
bacco in variable quantities, are two
nox ous principles. They produce iu
uigesiion, cause palpitation of the
heart, and brmg about a condition
similar to irritability of the heart, act
injuriously on the nervous system
and mucous membrauce.
I am a crank on the theory of pre
natal and ante nat-l influences,if you
will have it so, and I believe that the
persistent use and abuse of tobacco
wrecks generations and predisposes
nature and temperament of the off
spring to other excesses.
It is often the case that men who
smoke to excess also drink to excess,
and gradually become inclined to oth
er artificial stimulants more harnful
than tobacco.
Take a person who uses m >rphine
for example : He may use nothing
but that drug for years, and finally
get down to chloral and cocaine, and
I am free to say that the moral sensi
bilities of insistent and excessive
smokers are gradually dulled. It is
so much the present harm if the
tobacco habit, but what it leads to,
that lam talking against. There are
plenty of cases where tobacco has ap
parently done no barm. Take Lord
Eldon, for example. He lived to an
age of nearly 90 years, and smoked.
He lived to see his grandson made
President of the Universiry of Ediu -
burgh. Both be and his brother
were ordinary smokers up to the
time they died, yet both grew old,
very old.
There may be cases, of course,
where smoking is a benefit. Men
tell me that it improves their diges
tion. That maybe so, but it is al
ways well for a smoker to have him
self examined in order that it may be
! established whether his heart is all
right, his digestiou unimpaired, and
that there are no other conditions
present that counter indicate the use
of tobacco.
What is good for one may be poi
son to another. A cigar smoked af
ter dinner often helps the digestion
of some peoph>, for it acts as a mild
cathartic. But unless the proper re
strainst is exercised, a man is upt in
time to abuse that which, properly
used, may aid him. It is this re
straint that is so often lacking, and
then fore I am inclined to stick to
my principle.
Don’t use tobacco in any form !
