It Cured Him of Kindness.
./. Gould, in a Recenl Letter.
“I found a cockroach struggling
in a bowl of water. I took a peanut
shell for a boat. I put him into it,
gave him two wooden toothpicks for
oars and left him. The next morn¬
ing I visited him, and he had put a
piece of white cotton thread on one
of tiie toothpicks, and sat the tooth¬
pick on end as a signal of distress.
He had a hair on the other toot hpick,
and there that cockroach sat a fish.
• ng. The sight melted me into tears.
I had never to chew leather to get a
soul; I was born with one. I took
that cockroach out and gave him a
spoonful of gruel and left. That an
imal never forgot my kindness, and
now my house is chockful of cock¬
roaches. I have never attempted
since then to do any disinterested
kindness.”

A Short Cut.
The other night on an Arkansaw
railroad train a passenger called the
conductor and asked:
“Are we on time?”
“Yes.”
“Glad. Are we on the track?”
“I don’t know, but I’ll go forward
and ask.”
He went away'and, returning,
said: I am informed that we lift the
track about five miles back. Wc are
now running on the country dirt
road and if we don’t meet a wagon
we’ll be all right. You see that there
is a big bend in the road back here
and we save time by taking a shoit
cut ”—Arkansaw Traveler.

SCIENTIFIC FASHING.
AN ABLE PAPER niBCUSSINC, TRUCK
FARMING, WRITTEN FOR ANP REAP
BKFOJKE THE RICHMOND COUN¬
TY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
GENTi.KMEN-Your subject for dis¬
cussion to-day is truck farming, a
subject of great importance. It re¬
quires knowledge, intelligence, ad¬
ministrative and mercantile ability
to become successful—to produce
the maximum result at the smallest
possible outlay. The object of this
discussion is twofold—first, the pro¬
ducing of o crcp, and, second, (al¬
most more important) the disposing
of the same to the best advantage..
Farming is a science, governed by
the lawfi of nature; intelligence con¬
quers the forces of the same and as¬
sists by the work of the brain the
work of the laborer.
Science teaches us hour to use those
forces; it teaches us how, by proper
application of those laws, the farmer
can and will be successful. Those
laws are so positive, so true, so in¬
fallible that they cannot be disputed
Plants require certain conditions and
food to reach perfection. The food
they require is partly of an organic,
partly of a mineral nature. The or
ganic elements are hydrogen, oxy¬
gen, nitrogen and carbon, and con
tained in the air and the water; the
mineral ones, coming frora'the soil,
are principally phosphoric acid, pot¬
ash and lime. Let the plant decay
and nothing will remain but its min¬
eral constituents; the organic ones
disengage iu the air, to continue their
round of creation, They are indes¬
tructible—they are the creating and
sustaining'power. What those min¬
eral constituents are wa learn quick¬
er by reducing the plants to ashes
and analyzing the same. Those elc
ments change with the nature of the
plant; some contain more of one than
of tho other. They arc found in eve¬
ry plant—the combination, the dif¬
ferent grouping of them, forms the
different plants. In the knowledge
of those laws and their application
consists of the success of the farmer.
The absence of one of those elements
in our fertilizers endangers the pro
duction, while the surplus of any re¬
duces his profit. TFhat those ele
merits are that each individual plant
requires as food has clearly and of¬
ten been proved. Rutabaga leaves,
instance, contain, in 1,000 pounds
4 6 nitrogen, 3.7 potash, 8.4 lime,
2.6 phosphoric acid. Turnip leaves
contain 3.0 nitrogen, 2.8 potash, 3.0
lime, 0 9 phosphoric acid. Rutabaga
rootB, 2.1 nitrogen, 4.7 potash, 1.3
lime, 1.7 phosphoric acid. Turnip
roots, 1.8 nitrogen, 3.3 potash, 0.8
lime, 0.9 phosphoric acid. This clear¬
ly shows the difference of plant food
we have to furnish the soil to grow
the different plants. Let me mention
here, also, the composition of pine
straw and oack leaves; the deduc¬
tion as to the manural value of the
former is appareut. Pine staw con 5
tains, in 1,000 peunds, no nitrogen,
0.6 potash, 4.3 lime, 1.4 phosphoric
acid; oak leaves, 3.0 nitrogen, 1.4
potash, 20.3 lime, 3.5 phosporic acid.
Does this need any comment to the
thoughtful farmer?
We have seen what elements we
have to furnish to the soil; let us
consider, now, what is furnished by
nature. As we have shown, the smal
lest part of the constituents of the
plant comes from the soil. The larg¬
est part is furnished by the three or¬
ganic elements, carbon, hydrogen
and oxygen, contained in the water
and air, and supplied by nature iu
inexhaustible quantities. They never
j fail; are alwajs ready to serve us,
provided wo follow its laws.
What I have stated is no theory;
they are facts, clearly proved and de¬
monstrated by science and experi
ence.
The lawi of nature are supreme,
they are infallible; but having a
knowledge of those laws we are in *
position to profit by our knowledge,
knowing that a plant requites cer¬
tain plant food; the laws of nature
teach us how to supply it, knowing
that air and water is indispensable
to vegetable as to animal life; those
same laws teach us to pul our land
in such a condition as to receive the
utmost benefit.
The relation of this knowledge is
apparent to the farmer. The highest
fertilization and tillage are the two
secrets of the planter—to give to the
soil a liberal and judicious supply of
the food the plant requires, and to
put that soil in such a condition as
to receive the full benefit of the ele.
ment and forces which nature in its
boundless liberality has so nobly
supplied us. Nature produces, but
human skill direers those natural
forces, and makes them an auxiliary
to his pursuit.
If the secret to commercial suc¬
cess, to turn over the capital as of¬
ten as possible, is true, truck farm¬
ing will be the means to lead the
farmers in the South on the road to
prosperity. Its climatic situation en¬
ables him to produce two or three
crops the same year on the same
land, it increases the returns on his
investment. The farmer cannot pro¬
duce too much; to double the pro¬
duction of his land augments his in¬
come; it enables him with larger re¬
turns for his labor to bring his land
to higher state of cultivation; it will
make him independent; it will make
him a “power in the land.”
'1 he question of marketing and
disposing of the produce arises; a
purely mercantile problem; natural
forces are not available; it is a ques¬
tion of demand and consume, a fac¬
tor which can and should not be
overlooked. If the local consump¬
tion is small, overproduction is ruin,
if no other channel is open to utilize
or dispose of the surplus. But, gen¬
tlemen, farmers cannot produce too
much; the cry of ovcrpaoduction
is as fallacious as the prophecy of
Wiggins—production is wealth.—
There never was, nor never will be
too much wealth. With the elec¬
tricity, wind and steam at our com¬
mand, the world is open to our pro¬
duce; what is in abundance here is
in demand elsewhere.
Overproduction of raw material,
incites the inventive genius to utilize
the surplus and make it marketable
in a different form and combination;
this creates manufactories, factores
increase the population—increase the
demand and consumption.
The South is an agricultural coun¬
try. We have shown what it needs
—manufactories and increased pop>
ulation to utilize the enormous wealth
hidden in the earth, that feeds and
clothes tis, and which, at the end of
our pilgrimage through life, will af¬
ford us a place to sleep and rest
forever. Aesculapius.

The Pitiless Cyclone
St. Louis Sayings.
Whence it cometh or whither it
goelh no man can tell. It lurks in no
particular latitude or longitude; it is
partial to no section or season; it rci
gards neither station nor condition;
it respects neither morals nor man¬
ners; it swoops without warning,
and its path is marked by desolution
and death. No man is strong enough
or swift enough to escape its fury;
no mother may supplicate its mercy
no babe so innocent ar so helpless
that it can command from heaven or
earth protection from its relentless
and indiscriminate wrath. Temples
of worship, places of vice, haunts of
misery, asylums for the sick are lev¬
eled alike; and among the dead the
strong and the weak, the old and the
young, the sinful and the sainted lie
side by side. All the signs by which
the human mind is capable of judg¬
ing—all the indications or the doom
swept waste—point to the potency
of a God, but to the temper of a
fiend. The pitiless cyclone! Whence
cometh it? Whither goe.tb it? Hath
it a purpose as the expression of Al¬
mighty Power! Who can interpret
it? Who can make it seem consistent
with the idea of omniscience and
love? Who can reconcile mankind
to its visitations? Who can foretell
its approach? Who can provide a
s>fe refuge/j'pin its parages?

A Wild Man Like An Ape.
Philadelphia Aotcs.
Crugkk Dam, N. J., April 23.—
Two sons of Archibald Tyson, a far¬
mer, returned from a liunt last even¬
ing leading by a rope a frightful
spectacle,of humanity in the shape
of a wild man. Both thG Tyson boys
are full grown and tell the follow¬
ing story of the capture: About
noon, when they were climbing the
Ramapo mountain on the north side
they heard a shrill voice howling as
if in agony. Approaching the spot
where the voice came from they en¬
countered what appeared to be a
huge ape.
One of the boys, Shileman,raised
his gun to fire at the object, but was
stopped by Ins brother. They then
advanced closer and discovered that
the object was a man. Scarcely a
whole article of clothing covered his
body. His hair and beard were long,
matted and partly gray. They spoke
to him and he jumped toward them
in a threatening manner. Both drop¬
ped their guns and grappled with
him. After a terrible struggle he was
overpowered and bound. He uttered
a few unintelligible words and quiet 1
ly allowed them to do as they pleas¬
ed with him.
After searching iu vain for a hut
or a cave they led him home, where
he was exhibited to the neighbors.
He appeared to understand the Ger¬
man language, ami whenever a wo<
man approached would run and try
to escape. It is thought that he must
have escaped from some insane asy¬
lum and wandered wild in the woods
When a piece of raw meat was of-,
fered him he grabbed it and ate it
ravenously. Mr. Tysou locked him
up in a barn and is waiting for some
relative to claim him.
All Cared by Their Faith
Chicago, April 18.—The faith
healers’ meeting was again crowded
yesterday at No. 15 Washington
street. A young man who had his
face muffled up in a large handker¬
chief rose to testify to the wonderful
healing powers of the Savior. He had
a large cancer on the side of his fact*
and he said that all medical tcsources
had been exhausted. The doctors
gave him up, but the Lord directed
his steps to the meeting. A few days
ago he v*ent to Sister Brown’s faith
home and there his soul found ex¬
traordinary peace. The pain hasn't
returned since, he says, and he ex¬
pects the cancer to be healed sho.it>
ly. A woman who seemed to weigh
about 400 pounds said she had a very
sore throat. A friend advised her to
to “take it to Christ*” which she did
praying for two hours. She can now
sing like a little bird uj* in a tree. A
young man who had come from Wis¬
consin to be healded of catarrab
wanted the pi ayers of the meeting
in his behalf. His modest request
was immediately granted and he
joyfully left.
Blended Goods Up in Name.
Lewiston {Me.) Journal.
In old times George Smith was %
well-known trader in the village of
Wayne. All store keepers sold rum
at that day, and Smith peddled a lot
of it. He drew it rrom a hojjshead,
in which a plug took the p/;,\ Jot a
modern faucet. A piece ofAualher
under the plug shaped the course of
the stream. Some of Smith’s custo¬
mers occasionally bantered him
about watering his rum, but Smith
always good-naturedly replied that
he never put water enough in it to
hurt ’em. One morning a customer
came in very early and asked for a
quart of the liquor. It happened
that the rum was low in the hogs¬
head. Smith canted it up, drew out
the plug, and only a few drops came,
j but a frog jumped through the hole
I and hopped around as lively as ever.
“Gosli!” said Smith, “that’s the first
West India frog I ever saw.”

Satn ran short of plug and had to

the case no wonder he i» cured.—

From the Detroit Free Press.
A boy was crossing the W. Grand
Circus Park yesterday with a dog.
At the fountain he met another boy
crossing the park with a dog.
The two boys halted and surveyed
each other, and each one uttered a
“humph” of disgust.
The two canines stopped at ten
feet away and scratched up the bud
dinggrass and uttered blood-curdling
growls. *

“Kin your dog fight?”
“Kin he? Why, he licked a Hon
last summer. Kin your dog ffght?”
“Oh, no! He didn’t grab one o’
Barnnm’s Bengal tigers which got
out of a cage! lie won’t fight—oh,
no!”
“I’d let my dog chaw your’n all to
pieces, but I’m afeeid he’d' git the
hydrophobia.”
“I’d let my dog fight, but maybe
yours has fleas.”
“Humph!”
“Humph yourself!”
“I’d lick you if my shoulder wasn’t
lame!”
“And it’s good thing for you that
I hurt my back yesterday!”
“Pooh!”
“Bah!”
They jumped at each other and
the dogs followed suit, but next mo¬
ment each boy, followed by his dog,
took a run for it, and didn’t halt un¬
til a block away. Then they stop¬
ped to shake their fists and call out:
“You just look out for me the
next time.”

Charify Begins at Home.
From the ltockland Courier- Gazette.
“Uncle Stead” is what they called
a shrewd old gentleman who used to
live in Winlhrop, a little way out of
the village, up the side of the pond
hear Readfieid. One of his fellow
citizens was a man named Lovejoy.
Uncle Stead met Lovejoy one day,
and said to him: “Lovejoy, there’s a
poor woman lives out on the edge of
the town that needs some provisions.
I’m willing to supply her, but I’ye
sold my horse and have no means of
getting the stuff to her. Now, I’ll
buy her a barrel of flour and a ham
and some other supplies if you’ll car¬
ry them out to herewith your team.”
Lovejoy said certainly, he’d be
vary glad to do it. Accordingly,
Uncle Stead bought a barrel of flour,
a ham, a bucket of sugar, etc., and
telling Lovejoy where the woman
lived, sent him off on the errand of
charity with the good things in Ins
pung.
Lovejoy easily found the house
where the woman lived. Re unload¬
ed the goods, putting like a grampus
as be rolled the barrel .of flour in,
and said to the woman: “Mr. Stead¬
man sent you the provisions. He’s a
mighty kind-hearted man to send
you all these things.”
“Well, I don’t know, why ho
shouldn’t send them to me!” exclaim¬
ed the woman in surprised accents.
“He’s my husband!”
--
Tiie Talbotton New lira tells of
“a little woman in Talbot county
who is the mother of eight children,
and besides doing all her domestic
work’save the washing, she is edu*
eating her children at home, each
one of the older ones being now ve¬
ry well versed iu the rudiments of
an English education, received en¬
tirely at home. They do not live con*
ient to a school and the good mother
has gotten over the difficulty. She
is one of the brightes and most in¬
telligent ladies in Talbot county.”
A Buffalo man was surprised the
other morning when he saw a very
rich and very stingy citizen out ou
his lawn with a pan of bread crumbs
feeding a big flock of sparrows. He
at onee decided that there was a soft
spot in the old man’s heart and that
he had been misjudged, and as bo
bid him “goodmorning”said: “I see
you are up early and engaged in a
most humane and kind-hearted act.
Feeding bread to the little brids,
eh!” “Kindbearted be d—— d,” an¬
swered the rich man. “I’m feeding
the blamed things poison, d—n ’eta.”
