Spring Oats. The acreage sown in fall oats is much less than.usual. The freezing out of a large portion of the crop of 1886 by the hard freezes in January 1887, had a most discouraging effect, which was augment? ed by the nnfavorably dry weather which prevailed in some parts of the country during the sowing season. The oat crop, however, is too valuable, and in the long run too reliable to be given up. Spring sowing costs little more than the seed] even if the crop fails from drouth ; and a good breadth?eight or ten acres at least to each plow run?should be put in. In our judgment?founded upon experience and observation?oats sown in February are much less liable to in? jury by freezing than if sown in January. Sowing in the "old twelve days" smacks more of superstition and sentiment than sound reason. Our hardest weather is .usually from December 25 to February 1, and it is not often that oats sown in Feb? ruary are killed by freezing. The soil for spring oats, if not already fertile, should he well manured and deeply and closely plowed?the latter to guard against drouth as much as possible. If the land be cross plowed, so as to leave the furrows partly open, the seed may be sown broadcast and harrowed in with good results. Cottonseed, or the meal alone, or in compost with acid phosphate and potash, makes an excellent fertilizer for oats. The crop requires rather more ammonia and potash than the percentage usually found in commercial ammoniated phosphates. Undoubtedly the Burt oat is the safest for spring sowing, as it will mature in 100 to 120 days when sown in. February or March, according to latitude. Sow plenty of seed; the later the sowing, the heavier should be the seeding.. Allow for yield of twenty fold, is a pretty Bafe general rule, unless the expected yield or capacity of the land is small, in which case the seeding should be somewhat heavier than'this rule would indicate, and vice versa.?Southern Cultivator? AaRiddled Teteran. A very "remarkable application for allowance under, the wounded soldier ac* has been sent to the executive .depart? ment. The applicant, Mr. S. A. Gade, ? of Richmond County, who, during the war, was a privatelin company E, Cobb's legion. The man was literally shot to pieces, and has lived through all these years, and now applies for a pension. Here is an inventory of his wounds: A minnie ball entered bis right leg, cutting the sciatic nerve and paralyzing the limb below the knee. A fragment of shell struck him on the right arm, near the elbow, breaking the bone aod destroying the joint. A minnie ball entered the muscles Of the right arm, tearing them apart. A fragment of shell hit him on the left leg below the knee, crushing the small bone and scaling off several parts of the main bone three inches in length. A minnie ball passed entirely through the left leg below the knee. Another minnie ball passed through the centre ?of the left hand, shattering the bones and breaking the joint of the middle fin? ger, entirely disabling the hand. Besides all this he was struck in the right side with two' fragments of a shell, making two distinct wounds. This variously wounded man is in fair health and seems to enjoy life.?Atlanta Constitution. The Importance of Personal Cleanli? ness. Very many people do not keep the skin active and healthly as they ought; the fear of catching cold leads them to neglect to maintain perfect cleanliness of the body, and as the, functions of the skins are impaired, the work of throwing out waste material, which rightfully be? longs to it, falls upon the internal organs. They will bear the imposition for a time, and will labor to do the work forced upon them, but,: sooner or later, they become weakened by the strain, and then the waste of the system accumulates within the body and assists in depressing the vital forces. Thus by -neglect to keep the skin in a healthy state, many a per? son becomes dull and sluggish and disin? clined to mental or bodily efforts; all the cfgans concerned in life share in the dis? turbance, and become indolent and tor? pid. The need to maintain perfect clean? liness of the body is, if possible, greater in winter than in summer, a fact which but few appreciate; and to the neglect of this essential ^may be attributed much of the sickness prevailing in the cold weath? er, which really ought to be the health? iest of the year.?Boston Journal of Health.

The Gates Wide to Thoso Who Enter, trat Narrow to Those Who Seek to Go Oat?Scenes at tho Cnstotu House. Swarms of Officials. When, a few weeks ago in New York, I determined to visit Russia, and called upon some acquaintances for information on the subject I was to investigate, I was told that my trip would certainly be one of great pleasure and supremo delight; that the stories concerning the despotism in Russia were false; that I need have no fear of dungeon horrors and Siberia, and that I should proceed with tho same de? liberation and uninterruption I would traverse any other portion of the con? tinent. At London my English friends looked aghast, and declared that I took my life in my hands when I entered Russia, and remonstrated against it. The English know more of the country, the customs and the alleged laws, I find, than the Americans; but being more ex? citable and prejudiced, they are less likely to do justice to the subject. The English bave said and done so much against Russia that, as a general rule, they do not receive the few civilities and privi? leges granted strangers. I thought it quite exacting to have my passport vised by tho Russian minister at Washington, or tho consul at the point where I entered the country, before I could see Russian soil, when a passport, plain and simple, is required in no other country a man visits in all Europe; but when I learned that even the natives of Russia must take out a passport every year and have it regularly vised by the local officer before they are exempt from contempt of the emperor, I concluded that strangers were quite as well favored as the czar's own subjects. The object in requiring natives to have passports is rev? enue, while aliens are put to this trouble and expense for the purpose of inducing them to stay out of Russia. All Russians must be naturalized if they remain in the country, and their passports, which cost them ten roubles a year (about $4.50), is evidence of their naturalization. At the frontier the stranger encounters little in the forms different from other countries. The modes of inspecting bag? gage and withstanding personal scrutiny do not vary greatly from the usual. But as everything in Russia is distinctly Rus? sian, and therefore exceedingly strange, the most experienced traveler is possessed of a sense of concern, if not fear. The through trains from Vienna, Berlin and other popular points of departure for Rus? sia laud one on the frontier at night. The place is small, and the station swarms with Russian officers, big, burly fellows, with swarthy, unintelligent faces covered with long,' fl wing beards, and all dressed in the most elaborate uniforms. There is a clanking of swords, a rattle of spurs, n din of voices and a rushing hither and thither that is appalling. Timid women traveling alone have been overcome with fear or lost their heads in this bustle. The gendarme in charge is the first officer who approaches tho incomer. This is the highest ranking miUtary official, and he takes up the passports. He is ar? rayed like a Napoleon?abroad topped cap of red, white and black; dark green frock coat, trimmed with white and decked with brass epaulets weighing pounds; a huge belt and a sword, which is bung to strike the ground at every step and rattle like musketry; pantaloons with a deep white stripe and tucked in knee top boots; spurs of enormous proportions, and a re? volver of sufficient size to gun for buffalo. The passports and gendarme disappear in the direction of the office of the Russian consul, where ? the documents are ex? amined. On the heels of this diplomatic officer come the customs lackeys, who, without ceremony or invitation, pick up tho Bachels, bags and bundles, exclaim in Russian, "Custom house 1" and put out. The trp* M?r follows. He finds his trunks already .he counters inside the station, and if . y are unlocked they are open and the contents are being dumped on the floor. The terror to the Russian govern? ment is printed matter. Every newspaper, circular or book found is taken out and sent to the gendarme and the consul If anything abtrat free government, free schools, or other free institutions, criticism of Russia or her form of government is found it is retained; and should it appear among the possibilities that the bearer has any design upon the Russian way of doing things he or she is detained for ex? amination. It does not appear in history or tradition that persons "detained" have ever proven their missions clear. They simply have been heard of no more. Trains entering or emerging from Rus? sia do not pretend to respect their time card, for the reason that they are often detained on the frontier. Two hours are. always taken, however, being the time re? quired for exannhing baggage and pass? ports, long or short. On this occasion tho train was light and the baggage was soon inspected But the passengers were not permitted to resume their place in tho train. As soon as they escaped the cus? toms officers they were led into the adjoin? ing restaurant, men, women and children, where were all classes of people in every condition. All outer doors were locked, and were guarded by officers. Timid, delicate women hovered in tho corners and waited for the end of the two hours, while half intoxicated Russians crowded about, smoking nasty cigars or drinking steaming tea at the tables. In all the multitude of Greeks, Slavs, Persians, Swedes, Russians, Germans, not an Eng? lish voice was heard; and seldom did one see a man who could interpret even a Fign. The women were more ready and bright and divined the wishes Of travelers more readily. Finally a Russian rushed like mad from tho station and began ringing a bell. There was commotion inside. The bell ringer moved up and down the long plat? form and made much unnecessary noise. The doors were unlocked and tho pas? sengers passed out, an officer being ready to see that each parcel bore the stamp of the custom house. An hour and a half of unnecessary, disagreeable waiting made one appreciate tho atmosphere, chilly even in August Just before the train started a jinglo of spurs and sabers was heard and two gendarmes appeared. They entered the carriages and handed out the passengers. Each passport bore a simple and short signature?that of the consul or governor?and the seal of tho officer. Two or three passengers did not receive thtir passports because the documents were not vised and they were obliged to remain and explain. As the train rolled on from the frontier toward Wnrsaw and St. Petersburg the proverb, "The gate* of Russia are wide to those who enter, but harrow to thoso who go out,?'-lingered in my mind.?St. Petersburg Cor.

Nevertheless there are general rules of mental dis? turbance that may safely bo followed. Paresis is the disease that puzzles us all. It has a limitless variety of manifesta? tions, and may go on for years without the sufferer being anything more than what we call eccentric. But it will break bounds sooner or later, and declare itself in melancholy or dangerous madness. I know of hundreds of paresis patients who would pass for sane in any crowd, yet not one of them is safe to set loose, for it cannot bo foretold at what moment they may become entirely irresponsible and dangerous. You must remember that paresis is a disease that is never cured. It must increase with time. I have known people to take a patient away from the asylum apparently cured, and a month or two later beg us to tako him back.

A Chinese missionary says he think8 that it will be many years before rail? roads can be built in China because of the superstition of the people. Chinr i j he says, is one vast graveyard. On every side there are to be found tbe mounds of J I those who have died. The Chinese will f ' not allow these mounds to be disturbed under any circumstances. Their super? stition forbids the removal of a body or the interference with the grave of any person once buried with the proper cere1 monies. Twice a year they visit the graves of their ancestors in the spring with of? ferings of the first fruits of the season and in the fall they repair to the* graves and burn incense. If a railroad should attempt to enter the country some of these mounds would have to be removed or else tbe rails would have to wind in and out among them. ? A case that has puzzled the physi? cian is reported from the Miller township. Mrs. Mary E. Myers, an aged woman of McAlery's Fort, for the last three weeks has been confined to her bed with pneu? monia, and on Tuesday last her life was despaired of. During the temporary absence of her attendant, Mrs. Myers while laboring under an aberration of mind, arose from her bed and wandered out of the house. Four hours afterwards she was found three miles from home in the wood with no other covering tha n her night dress and a thin shawl wrapped over her. She was taken home, and has al? most entirely recovered from her attack of pneumonia. In traveling through tbe snow Mrs. Myers' feet were badly frozen. ?Philadelphia Times. Wbat Is Ulis Disease that is Coming Upon Us? . like a thief at night it steals in upon us unawares. The pa tients have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes I in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach; sometimesafaint, all gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and clammy. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is attend? ed with a greenish-colored ex ' pectoration. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirl- J ing sensation in the head when rising up suddenly.' The bow? els become costive; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the w\ites of the eyes become tinged with yellow; the urine is scanty and high colored, de? positing a sediment after stand? ing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food, some tmies with a sour taste and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is frequently at? tended with palpitation of the heart; the vision becomes im? paired, with spots before the eyes'; there is a feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of onr popu? lation has this disease in seme of its varied forms. It has been found that phy? sicians have mistaken the cause of this disease. Some have treated it for a liver complaint, others for kidney disease, etc., etc., but none of these kinds of treatment have been attended with success; for it is really constipation and dyspepsia. It is also found that Shaker Ex? tract of Roots, or Mother Sei ^el's Curative Syriip, when properly prepared will remove ? this disease in all its stages.
