Certainly He Would. The other evening, as a muscular citi r.en was passing a house on Montcalm street, a lady who stood at the gate oalled out to him : “Sir! I appeal to you for protec¬ tion!” “What’s the trouble?” he asked, as he stopped short. “There’s a man in the house, and he wouldn’t go outdoors when I ordered him to!” “lie wouldn’t, eh! We’ll see about that!” Thereupon the man gave the woman his coat to hold and sailed into the house spitting on his hands. He found a man down at the supper-table, and he took him by the neck and remarked: “Nice stylo of a brute you are, eh I Come out o’ this, or I’ll break every bone in your body! ” The man fought back, and it was not until a chair had been broken, and the table upset that he was hauled outdoors by the legs, and given a fling through the gate. Then, as the muscular citi¬ zen placed his boot where it would do the most hurt, he remarked: “Now, then, you brass-faced old tramp, you move on or I’ll finish you.” “Tramp! tramp!” shouted the vio tim, as he got up, “I’m no tramp!

Persons can not live cheaply if they de sire to. Every article that will help support life in man or the inferior ani¬ mals commands a good price. At pres¬ ent every one takes an interest in the reports of condition of crops and is de sirous of obtaining the latest informa tion respecting them. There is anxiety on every hand in respect to the weather and the extent of the damage by storms and by the attacks of insects. Dealers in other articles than grain and provi sions are deeply interested in the pro duction of these articles. They are careful to gain the fullest information possible about the prospect for crops in every section of the country before they value sell iarge bills of day goods on credit. The of every of sunshine is care fully estimated in a thousand inflicted counting rooms. The damage by a severe in and the long protracted storm is calculated same way. The worth of sun and heat is fully appreciated, A larger proportion of the inhabitants 0 f this country are directly engaged in agriculture than can. be found in almost an y country in the world. In the g rea t markets where the commerce of all nations center we exchange grain, meat, cotton, and tobacco for manufac tured articles. If we do not produce them in abundance we have nothing with which we can carry on foreign trade. Our tariff laws, designed to build up do mes tie manufacturers to supply local consumption, have an injurious effect 0 n the manufacture of articles for ex¬ Manufactures 0rt .

We never im port com, and it is difficult to find a substitute for it in the articles we are in the habit of manufacturing from it. The prosperitv of our manufacturers depends indireotly, as welt as directly, on the prosperity of our agriculture. A large proportion of our people depend on the crops they raise for the means to purchase manufactured goods of every kind. They must restrict their con¬ sumption to their ability to buy and make payment with the product of their fields. If crops are small, only manufactured articles of necessity can be purchased by people living in the country. If they ticles are large, they can indulge in ar¬ that conduce to comfort or minis¬ ter to luxury. People in the country adapt themselves to their incomes bet¬ ter than people who live in cities. They are more secluded, and on that account can get along better with poor furniture and articles of clothing. The prosperity of all our great trans¬ portation companies depends on our ag¬ ricultural pi'osperity. The lai’gest pro¬ oarrying portion of our freight cars are built for grain, Many live stook, and dairy pro ducts. of our leading railroads were constructed for the transportation of farm products. Several of them could not pay the ordinary running expenses if they relied on passenger traffic and the carrying of manufactured goods good the for support. When crops are trains run on them are many and long. When crops are poor the reverse in both particulars is true. What is true of railroad transportation is also true of steamboat and vessel transportation. The latter, no less than the former, were built for the most part for carrying farm products and farm older supplies. its As the country ‘more becomes prosperity depends and large more on portion agriculture. of people At one time a our were en¬ gaged in the marketing the natural produc¬ tions of country. They killed wild animals and. sent their skins to market. They cut down forests that were not planted by the hand of man. They washed surface gold out of gulches, and became rich chiefly through the opera¬ tions of nature. Many lived on the product of the chase. They ate the flesh of wild animals and birds, and sold the skins of the former. In many parts of the country civilized men produced the articles they ate and wore in the same way that savages did. The natural products of the country supplied many of the articles that in most parts of the world are obtained only by continu¬ ous and persistent toil. On this account many supported life by hunting and fishing. At present it is necessary to plant feed in order to reap, to breed and cattle in order to have meat, to till the ground in order to have crops.

Hall, in Chicago Inter- Ocean . Growing Uelery. The seed-bed should be made very fine, and well fertilized with the finest of manure, and the rows marked oil about ten inches apart. The seed should be covered very shallow, and often pass¬ ing a garden-roller over the rows will cause sufficient covering. When the plants appear, they should be carefully weeded out; and when they have reached the height of nearly a foot, they should be pruned down to a few inches, so that a thick growth may be insured. It is also claimed that the when transplanting thus shortened in¬ jures them far less of their leaves. The celery beds should next be thor¬ oughly stirred to a good depth, mixing make the soil as thoroughly from lumps, as and possible give to it free so the roots the best chance to attain their food. The plants, when set in the rows, need not exceed eight inches apart, and should have the earth firmed about them, as anything which contributes towards retaining moisture is a benefit to the plants. Setting eight inches apart, in rows three feet distant from each other, gives not only ample room for working, but allows all the space necessary for their development and final breaking up. After some weeks of the fiat culture, a change will be neees sary in order to blanch the stalks, which is done by bringing the soil up about them. The stalks are closed together by the hand, and the soil is again firmed about them, care being taken to keep it around the plant, but notallow it to get upon the “heart” of the stalk, as this would defeat the ob¬ ject sought. As the soil is washed clown, and is otherwise removed from about the stalks, the process of banking up will have to be repeated. The final banking close up may be delayed until the approach of winter, as the frosts of the late fall seem to give the stalks an With especial the crispness and tenderness. dwarf varieties, the lessened labor of preparing them for blanching is the best argument in their favor, as a much less amount of eaith is required, with consequent diminished work. As winter approaches, the soil is loosened up between the rows, and is then thrown up quite to their tops; but if they are to be secured so as to be accessible for win¬ ter markets,the trenching process of pres¬ ervation method, will most likely be the best but for early use, the banking up, and covering with a coating of straw, will answer quite as well. In covering in the trenches, the precaution of heat¬ ing must be avoided, which can be best accomplished by gradual covering, in¬ creasing winter demands, the depth as the severity of so that altogether a foot or more of straw may be required. — Cor.

How a Tiger Strikes Down Its Prey, It is a disputed point how a tiger strikes down its prey, and, although I have lived in and roamed jungles for the greater part of my life, and have had two ponies killed, I never saw an animal struck down, though I have come upon the quivering carcass not yet cold. Opinions differ. Williamson says: “The tiger’s fore-paw i 3 the invariable engine of destruction. Most people prived of imagine its claws that if a tiger were de¬ and teeth he would be rendered harmless, but this is a great error. The weight of the limb is the real cause of mischief, for the claws The are rarely extended when a tiger seizes. operation is similar to that of a hammer; the tiger raises his paw, and brings only it Gown with such force as not to stf 11 a common-sized bullock or a buffalo, i* it even crushing the bones of the skull. I have seen many men and deer that have been killed by tigers, in most of which no mark of a claw could be seen; and when scratches did appear chance, they were obviously the effect of from the claw sliding down¬ ward, and not from design.” Johnson is of a contrary opinion, for he says .* Cbittra “During a residence of nine years in I have never seen a man or an animal killed by a tiger that had not the mark of claws, yet I admit that the force with which a tiger generally strikes is sufficient of itself, without the aid of his claws, to kill men or large animals, and I believe that it occasion¬ ally described, takes place in the manner I have but never from its weight, like the fall of a hammer.” Of my two ponies, the first was seized in the stable and by the throat and the windpipe severed, I also saw a bullock thus treated at Papicondah, on the Godavery. My second pony was killed by a grip of the upper part of the neck, by which the jugular was severed, and though the tiger was driven off, the pony bled to death.— London Field. TFork.

It may seem at first ridiculous to pre¬ tend to teach grown people how to walk infancy. as though But they had not learned this in the assertion we that are willing to venture not one person in twenty knows how to walk \yeU. How few people there are who do not feel slightly walk embarrassed when obliged to across a large room in which are many persons seated so as to observe 'veil each movement! How many pub¬ lic speakers there are who appear well upon the platform so long as they re¬ main standing still, or nearly so, but who become almost ridiculous as soon as walkers they attempt to walk about. Good are scarce. As we step along the street, we are often looking out for good seldom. walkers, and we find them very What is good walking? Wo Nearly answer, all easy, the graceful, natural walking. will be found good walkers there are fashion insists among gentlemen, sineo that she cannot on so walk trammeling well, a worn* an can scarce¬ ly make a natural movement, in fact. To walk naturally, requires the harmo¬ nious action of nearly every muscle in the oody. A good walker walks all over; not with a universal swing and swagger, pendulum as though each bone was a. with its own separate hang¬ muscles ing, but easy, gracefully. Not only tlnise the of the lower limbs, but, of the trunk, even of the neck, as well as those of the arms, are all called into ac¬ tion as natural wa’king. A person who keeps while his trunk and upper extremities rigid walking, gives one the im¬ pression of an automaton with pedal extremities set on hinges. Nothing could ing, wriggling be more ungraceful gait than the minc¬ which the majority of young ladies exhibit in their walk. They are scarcely to be held responsi¬ ble, however, since fashion requires thorn to dress themselves in such a way as to make it impossible to walk other¬ wise than awkwardly and unnaturally. We cannot attempt to describe the numerous varieties of unnatural gaits, and will lea ve the subject with a few suggestions Hold the about head correct walking. 1 . erect, with the shoulders drawn back and the chin drawn disagreeable in. Nothing than looks more awkward and a person walking with the head thrown back and the nose and chin elevated. 2. Step lightly and with elasticity— not with a teetering gait—setting the foot down squarely upon the walk and raising it sufficiently high to clear the walk in swinging it forward. A shuf¬ fling gait denotes a shiftless character. But dc'not goto the other extreme, stepping along like a horse with “string halt. A person with a firm, light, elastic gait, will walk much farther without weariness than one who shuf¬ fles along A kind of measured tread or rhythm in the walk also seems to add to the power of endurance, although, for persons who have long distances to travel, an occasional change in the time will be advantageous. walking, do keep 3.

The object of this is to maintain the balance of the body, as also by the gen¬ tle swinging motion to aid in propell¬ ing 1 he body along. Correct walking should be cultivated. It ought to be taught along with arts and sciences. In our military schools it is taught; but these schools can be at tended by but few. Invalids, especial¬ ly, should take great pains to learn to walk well, as by so doing they will gain more than double the amount of benefit they will otherwise derive from the ex¬ ercise.— Home Hand-Book An .

The only way to conquer them, if way there be at all, is to learn their whole life-history; to know them in the egg, in the larva, in the pupa, in the full fledged insect; to crush them in every stage with whatever weapon the subtle¬ ties of chemistry or mere todonoth- ingenious brute force can suggest; and ing which can in any way give them 1 single extra chance of life. Nothing, in fact, could better show the intimate in teraction ami reaction of knowledge and pvactice than this interesting stwfy. On the one hand, no moans can be devised for getting rid of injurious insects ex¬ cept by a thorough scientific acquaint ance with their origin and metamor pi loses; on the other hand, no such care ful observations on particular undertaken, iite-his- prob tones have ever been ably, except with the stimulus ot some practical advantage to mankina m view, Thus science and agriculture both gain by the conjunction Even buttertly hunting has its special commercial to bo uses, the when the butterfly turns out parent of the gooseberry caterpillar, or to lay the eggs from which a warm .>un will hatch out the destructive cabbage worm.
