P.,
Tlie Doctor's Story,
i Mrs. Rogers lay in her bed,
j Bandaged and blistered from foot to head,
Bandaged and blistered from head to toe,
Mrs. Rogers was very low,';
Bottle and saucer, spoon and cup,
On the tablo stood bravely up,
Physic of bigh and low degree;
Calomel, catnip, boneset tea?
Everything a body could bear,
Excepting light and water and air.
I opened the blinds; the day was bright,
And God gave Mrs. Rogers sonic light,
I opened the window; the day was fair,
And God gave Mrs. Rogers some air,
Bottles and blister*. po*vdors and pills,
Catnip, boiuset, rivup aud squills,
Drugs and medicines, high and low,
I threw thorn as far as 1 could throw.
" What are you doing V" my patient t ried;
"Frightening Death," 1 eoollv replied.
"You are crazy!" a visitor said;
I flung a bottle at her head.
Deacon Rogers he came to me;
" Wife is a comiu' round," said he,
" I really think she'll worry through;
She scolds me just as she used to do.
All the people have poohed and slurred?
And the neighbors all have had their word,
'Twas bet ter to perish, some of 'em say,
Than be cured in such an irregular way."
^ " Your wife," said I, " had God's good care,
And his remedies?light and water and air.
All the doctors, beyond a doubt,
fWii/Wt hnvf> <>nrf>d Mrs. Rogers without."
The deacon smiled and bowed his head;
"Then your bill is i.odiing," he said;
"God's be the glory, as you say;
God bless you, doctor, good-day! good-day !'
If ever I doctor that woman again,
I'll give her medicine made bv men.

FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH.
Tbe fiie burrs cheerily on tbe heart
the great logs crackle and flare up tl
wide chimney, up which it is n
wont to say yon could drive u coach-an<
four. I draw my chair nearer to i
with a shiver. "What a night!"
Bay.
" Is it still snowing ?" asks my wif
who sits opposite to me, her books an
Bp^work on the table beside her.
" Fast. You can scarcely see a yai
^ before you."
wS5?v Heaven help any poor creature c
the jnoor to-night!" says she.
gv MjWho would venture out? It begs
: ? MiowinK before dark, and all the peop!
about know the danger of being b
^Sighted on the moor in a snowstorm

*" frozen to death hereabouts before now
My "wife is Scotch, and this pleasai
Jfouse in the Highlands is hers. "S\
?re trying a winter in it for the fin
time, and I find it excessively cold an
a"somewhat dull. Mentally, I decid
T that in the future wo will only grace
with our presence during the shootin
TOJuon. Presently I go to the windo
an^ look out; it has ceased snowin
and through a rift in the clouds I see
star.
"Itis beginning to clear," I tell m
wife, and also inform her it is half-pa:
11 o'clock. As she lights her candle i
tho side-table I hear a whining an
scratching at the front door.
"There is Laddie loose again," saj
she. "Would you let him in dear?"
I did not like facing the cold wine
but could cot refuse to let the poor an
mal in. Strangely enough, when
nnario^ fVin dfirr nnrl PftllAd llim. li
urui" ~? > wouldn't
come. He runs up to tt
door and looks into raj face with dum
entreaty; then he runs back a fe
steps, looking round to see if I am fo
lowing ; and, finally, ho takes my cot
in his mouth and tries to draw me on
"Laddie won't come in," I call out t
my wife. " On the contrary, he seem
to want me to go out and have a gam
of snowball with him."
She throws a shawl around her an
^ comes to the door. The collie wa
here before we were married, and she i
almost as fond of him, I tell her, as sh
is of Jack, our eldest boy.
"Laddie. Laddie!" she calls; "com
in, sir." He comes obediently at he
call, but refuses to enter the hous>, an
Eursues the same dumb pantomime h
as already tried on me.
"I shall shut him out, Jessie," I sai
"A night in the snow won't hurt him;
^ and I prepare to close the door.
"You will do nothing of the kind!
she replies, with an anxious look, " bi
^ ybu will rouse the servants at once, an
follow him. Some one is lost in th
'snow and Laddie knows it."
I laugh. "Really, Jessie, you ar
r- absurd. Laddie is a sagacious animal
it*i no doubt, but I cannot believe he is p
clever as that. How can he possibl
know whether any one is lost in th
snow or not?"
"Because he has found them, an
oome back to us for help. Look at hii
now."
I cannot but own that the dog seem
restless and uneasy, and is evidentl
endeavoring to coax us to follow him
he looks at us with pathetic entreaty i:
L. his eloquent eyes. "Why don't yo
. believe me?" he seems to ask.
' "Come," she continues, "you kno^
you could not rest while there was
possibility of a fellow creature wantin
y your assistance. And I am certai
Laddie is Dot deceiving us."
What is a poor hen-pecked man t
do? I grumble, and resist, and yiek
*\s I have grumbled, and resisted, au
yielded before, and as I doubtless ofte
shall again.
-'Laddie once found a man in th
Fi-tW before, but he was dead," Jenni
says, as the lnirries off to fill a fias
with brandy, and get rer.dy som
r blankets for us to take with us. In tl
meantime I rouse the servants,
VhAv aro all English, with the excel
' * tion of Donald, the gardener, and I ca
see that they are scoffingly skeptical <
Laddie's sagacity, and inwardly dii
" gristed at having to turn out of thei
warm beds and face the bitter winter
blast
c* " Dinna trouble yoursels," I hear ol
\Z, Donald say. "The mistress is rigl
I" enough. Auld Laddie is cleverer tha
r, mony a Christian, and will find som<
S . thinw in the snaw this night."
"Don't sit up, Jossie," I say, as vi
start; "we may be out half the nigl
on this wild goose chase."
" Follow laddie closely," is all tl
h* answer she makes.
The dog spriDgs forward with a jo;
ous bark, conetantlv looking back to se
if we are following. As we paf
through the avenue gates and emerg
on the moor the moon struggles for
moment through the driving cloud
- and lights up with a sickly gleam th
snow-clad country before us.
" It's like looking for a needle in
bundle of hay, sir," says John, th
coachman, confidentially; " to think c
we should find anybody on such a nigl
as this. Why, in some places the sno'
is more than a couple o' feet thick, an
* it goes agin' reason to think that dum
animal would have the sense to com
k-' home and ask for helo."
" Bide a wee, bide a wee," says ol
L*i Donald. "I dinna ken what yor
English dogs can do, but a colli*
* though it has na been pleasing to Pro1
idence to give the creature the gift i
speech, can do mony mair things tha
them wad deride it."
*41 ain't a deridin' of 'em," says Join
" I only sajs as how if tbey be so ver
clever I've never seen it."
" Yo wull, though, ye wull," says ol
Donald, as he hurries forward aft<
Laddie, who has now settled down int
a swinging trot, and is taking his wa
straight across the loneliest part of tl
bleak moor.
The cold wind almost cuts us in twi
and whirls the snow into our faces, near]
blinding us. My finger tips are b
coming numbed, icicles hanging froi
my mustache and beard, and my fe<
. and legs are soaking wet, even throng
my shooting boots and stout leath(
leggings.
The moon has gone in again, and tl
light from the lantern we carry is bare]
sufficient to show us the inequalities i
the height of the snow, by which ^
are guessing at our rath. I betrin t
?N wish I had staid at heme. " Lhumv
propose, mats la femme dispose," I gig
'to myself, and I begin to c rasidi
whether I may venture to give 'ip tl
- search (which I have undertaken pure]
; to satisfy my wife, for I am like Johi
and won't believe in Laddie), whei
suddenly, I hear a ehout in front of m
and see Donald, who has all the tin
been keeping close to Laddie, drop c
his knees an d begin digging wildly in tl
4 snow with his hands. We all rush fo:
1 ward. laddie has stopped at what a;
pears to be the foot of a stunted tre
and after scratching and whining for
moment, sits down and watches, leavir
the rest to us. What is it that appea
when we have shoveled away the sno?
T A dark object. Is it a bundle of ragi
* Is it?or, alas! was it?a human beint
We raise it carefully and tenderly, ai
wrap it in one of the warm blank?
with which my wife's forethought
had provided us.
" Bring me the lantern," I say, huskily,
and John holds it over the prostrate
form, of not as we might have expected,
some* stalwart shepherd of the hills, but
over that of a poor, shriveled, wrinkled,
ragged old woman. I try to pour a little
brandy down the poor old throat, but
the teeth are so firmly clenched that I
cannot.
" Get her home as quickly as may be,
sir; the mistress will know better what
to do for her nor we do, if so be the poor
creatare is not past help," says John, j
! turning instinctively, as we all do in j
| sickness or trouble, to woman's aid.
So we improvise a sort of hammock
j of the blankets, and gently and tenderly i
the men prepare to carry their poor, I
I helpless burden over the snow.
" I am afraid your mistress will be in j
bed," I say, as wo begin to retrace our
j SIL'I'S.
"Never fear, sir," says Donald, with j
a triumphant glance at John, "themisI
tress will be up and waiting for us. i
She kens Laddie dinna bring us out in !
the snaw for naethiug."
"I'll never say noxight about believ- |
ing a dog again," says John, gracefully i
striking his colors. " You were right, !
and I was wrong; but to think there |
should be such sense in an animal j
passes me!"
As we reach the avenue gate I dis-!
patch one of the men for the doctor, j
who fortunately lives within a stone's
throw of us, and hurry on myself to
prepare my wife for what is ccming.
She runs out, into the hall to meet me.
, "Well?" she asks, eagerly.
"We have found a poor old woman,"
I say, "but we do not know whether j
she is alive or dead."
My wife throws her arms around me j
and Rives me a great hug.
"You will find dry things in your !
dressing-room, dear," she says,and this is |
:h the revenge she takes on me for my skep- j
ie ticism. The poor old woman is cav- >
iv ried upstairs and placed iu a warm :
:1- bath under my wife's dv oction, and be- !
t, fore the doctor arrives jlie lias shown |
I some faint symptoms of life; so my |
wife sends me word. Dr. Bruce shakes j
e, his hea l when he sees ber. "Poor old i
id soul," says he, "how came she out on ;
such a fearful night? I doubt she has I
d received a shock which, nt her age,
she will not easily get over."
in They manage, however, to force a
few spoonfuls of hot brandy and water
in down her throat; and presently a faint
le color flickers on her cheek, and the j
e- poor old eyelids begin to tremlde My j
wife raises her head and makes her
le swallow some cordial which Dr. Brace
has brought with him, and lays her!
it back among the soft, warm pillows.
re " I think she will rally now," says 1
st Dr. Brace, as her breathing becomes !
d more regular and audible. " Nourish- ;
le ment and warmth will do the rest, but j
it she has received a shock from which, I 1
g fear, she will never recover." And so ,
w saying, he takes leave.
g By-and-bye I go up to the rcom, and
a find my wife watching alone by the i
aged sufferer. She looks at me with j
iy tears in her eyes. "Poor old soul,"
5t | she says, "I am afraid she will not rally 1
it | from the cold and exposure."
d I go round to the other side of the
j bed and look down upon her. The aged
8 ] face looks wan and pinched, and the
j scanty gray locks which lie on the pil1,
low are still wet from the snow. She
i- is a very little woman, as far as I can
I judge of her in her recumbent position,
le and I should think had reached her alie
lotted threescore yeai-3 and ten.
b "Who can she be?''I repeat, won- ;
w derinrrlv. " She does not belong to I
1-1 any of the villages hereabouts, or we
^ should know her face, and I cannot ;
t- imagine what could bring a stranger
? to the moor on such a night."
8 As I speak a change passes over her
e face; the eyes unclose, und she looks
inquiringly about her. She tries to
d speak, but is evidently too weak. My
wife raises her aud gives her a spoonful
is of nourishment, while she says, soothe
ingly: "Don't tiy to speak. You are
among friends, and when you are
? better you shall tell me all about your!r
self. Lie still now and try to sleep."
d The gray head drops back wearily on
e the pillow, and soon we have the satisfaction
of hearing, by the regular resr
piration, that our patient is asleep.
<" "You must come to bed now, Jes- 1
sie," I say. "I shall ring for Mary, :
and she can sit up the remainder of;
^ the night."
^ But my wife, who is a tender-hearted
e soul and a born nurse, will not desert
her post, so I leave her watching and :

' When we meet in the morning I find j
s that the littJe woman has spoken a few '
y words, and seems stronger. "Come in j
8 with me now," says my wife, "and let j
, us try to rind out who she is." We find
her propped into a reclining posture j
II with pillo s, and Mary beside her, I
feeding her.
8 "How are you now," asks Jessie,
\ bending over her.
l' "Better, much bettor, thank you,
a i good lady," she says, in a voice which
u j trembles from age as well as weakness;
? i "and very grateful to you for yourgood71
! ness."
a I hear at oncc, by the accent, that she
^ is English. " Are you strong enough
11 to tell roe how you got lost on the moor, j
and where you came from, and where i
P yon are going ?*' continued my wife.
" Ah ! I was going to my lad, my poor i
lad, and now 1 doubt whether 1 bhall
n ever see him more !" says the poor soul,
with a long sigh of weariness.
(e "Where is } our lad, and how far have
k youcomo?"
"My lad is a soldier at Fort George,
lp and I have come all the way from Liverie
pool to see him, and give him his old
mother's blessing before he goes to the
}' Indies." And then, brokenly, with long
? pauses of weariness, the little old
woman tells us her pitiful story.
:r Her lad, she tolls us, is her only re>s
maining child. She had six, and this!
the youngest, is the only one who did
j not die of want during the Lancashire ;
^ cotton famine. Ho grew up a fine, |
n likely boy, the comfort and pride of his j
jm mother's hc-art, and the stay ot ner declining
years. But a "strike" threw
,e him out of work, and unable to endure
u the privation and misery, in a fit of des- j
peration he "'listed." His regiment,
ie was quartered at Fort George, and he !
wrote regularly to his mother, his let.
ters getting more cheerful and hopeful
,e every day, until suddenly he wrote to
jg say that his regiment was ordered to j
,e India, and begging her to send him her
a blessing, as he had not enough money
[g to carry him to Liverpool to see her. ;
e The aged mother, widowed and child-!
j less, save for this one remaining boy, !
a felt that she must look on his face once \
e more before she died. She begged from
^ a few ladies, whose kindness had kept,
(t her from the workhouse, sufficient
v money to carry her by train to Glasgow, i
and from thence she had made her way, j
h i now on foot, now begging a lift in a i
[e j passing cart or wagon, to within a few
; miles of Fort George, when she was
(| caught in the snow-storm, and, wanderlr
ing from the road, would have perished ;
in the snow but for Laddie.
7- My wife is in tears and Mary is sob- 1
d' bing audibly as the little old woman i
,n | concludes her touching and simple story,
j and I walk to the wiudow and look out :
i. for a moment before I ask her what her i
y ; son's name is As I tell her we are but j
a lew miles from Fort George, and that j
d I will send over for him, a smile of ex-:
;r treme content illumines the withered
,o i face.
y j " His name is John Salter," she says,
ie I "He is a tall, handsome lad. They '
| will know him by that."
a, | I hasten downstairs and write a
[y | h ort note to Colonel T eeman,whom I
e- ! know intimately, infor jng him of the
on ' circumstances and begging that he will
st i ailow Jchn Salter to come over at cnce,
h and I dispatch my groom in the dogjr
cart that he may bring him back without
loss of timo.
ie As I return to the house after seeing
|y him start, I meet Dr. Bruce leaving the
n house
re " Poor old soul," he says, "her trou;o
' bles are nearly over; she is sinking fast.
ie j I almost doubt whether she will live till
h her son comes."
ir 1 " How she could have accomplished
ie j such a journey at her age, I cannot
ly understand," I observe.
a, "Nothing is impossible to a mother,"
q, answers Dr. Bruce; " but it has killed
e, her."
ie 1 go in, but I find I cannot settle to
>n my usual occupations. My thoughts
ie are with the aged heroine who is dying
r- upstairs, and presently I yield to" the
p- fascination that draws me back to her
e, presence.
a As Dr. Dr Bruce says, she is sinking
ig fast. She lies back on the pillows, her
rs ! cheeks as ashy gray as her hair. She
j ? clasps my wife's hand in hers, but her
j? eyes are wide open, and have an eager,
j? expectant look in them.
id " At what time may we expect them T
ts whispers my wife to me.
" l "Notbefore
four," I answer, in the
same tone.
" He will be too late, I fear," she says,
" she is getting rapidly weaker."
But love is stronger than death, and
she will not go until her son comes. All
through the winter's day she lies dying,
obediently taking what nourishment is
given her, but never speaking except to
say, "My lad, my lad! God is good; He
will not let me die till he comes."
And at last I hear the dog-cart, j
lay my linger on my lip and tell Mary to
go and bring John Salter up very |
quietly. But my caution is needless; I
the mother has heard tho sound, and !
with the last effort of her remaining
strength she raises herself and stretches
out her arms. " My lad! my lad !" she j
gasps, as with a great sub he springs ;
forward, and mother and son are clasped j
in each cth<?r'? arms once more.
For a moment they remain so. Then
the little woman sinks back on my j
wife's shoulder, and her spirit is looking
down from heaven on the lad she i
loved so dearly mi earth.
She lies in our little churchyard un- j
der a spreading yew tree, and on the
stone which marks her resting place are
inscribed the words: "Faithful unto
death." Our Laddie has gained far- j
spread renown for his good works, and |
as I sit finishing this short record of a
tale of which he is the hero he lies at j
my feet, our ever watchful, faithful j
companion and friend. ? Chambers' Jour- j
A Boiling: Lake.
Professor Henry A. Ward, formerly j
of the University of Rochester, N. Y.,
is writing letters touching his travels in ;
New Zealaud, some of which detail j
singular experiences. In his last he
says: I came from Auckland by j
steamer south for 125 miles along the
east coast to the town of Tamanga. I
hired a twenty-ton cutter and started
to visit the sea volcano. Wc :ailed all
night and at daybreak we had before us
a great mountain of black scoria, S30 |
feet high, from the top of which, with j
much force, went white clouds of vapor I
to a height of fully 2,000 feet. Reaching
the shore it was not easy traveling,
for in places the black pebbles of the j
heanh wflre all astir with water belling |
up through them?water so hot chat a
misstep might scald the foot senously.
At this poiut the crater wall has been
broken down almost to the sea level and
we could look into the great hollow island.
The crater is circular, a full mile
in diameter, and hemmed in by walls
many hundred feet high and very precipitous.
The crater floor was an uneven
plain of volcanic ash and scoria,
with many little fumaroles or blow
holes, through which hot sulphur vapors
came wheezing out, while every few
minutes there was beneath our feet a
smart trembling and a low, dull rolling
roar. The smoke of vapor began to
thicken as we went along and we soon
found the cause. We were stopped
short by a great lake of steaming
water, quite filling this end
of the crater, and being, as we could
see when the clouds lifted, nearly half
a mile from either side. The water was
too hot to comfortably bear the hand in
it, and was farther insupportable to
either touch or taste by a strong infu- '
sionofalum and sulphuric acid which bit
painfully at any scratch or sore upon j
our skin. On "the further border of the !
lake and half around its shore was a
row of the most violent solfataras I ;
have ever seen. They hail built for ]
themselves little pillar-Iiko cone3 from j
teu to thirty feet high and a yard or i
two in diameter at its base, and through
these open chimneys they were trumpet- j
ing steam and roaring sulphuric gases j
with a violence that was frightful to con- i
template, and such demoniacal screech- j
ing and din as afflicted our ears, even as I
the long distance where we stood. We j
dragged the rowboat along the volcano's
floor and launched it upon the |
boiling lake. The water of the lake j
was of a milky opaque cast, but wo J
could feel with our oars that it was in j
most places not over ten feet deep.
Lines upon the shore showed that it
daily rose and fell slightly with the tide
of the sea outside. In many spots the
water was boiling furiously with so-l
much froth and foam, while still its heat :
was much below the boiling point of j
212 Fahrenheit. These were dangerous J
places, the abundant air in the water
diminished materially its buoyancy, and \
our boat sank alarmingly low in cross- j
ing them. We landed across tho lake !
at one of the solfataras nearest to the |
beach and proceeded to demolish it |
with our oars. It was a chimney about i
two feet in diameter, clay without, and j
within it was lined with crystals of sul- I
niinr of <1 beautiful straw-vellow, '
splashed with vermilion spots. Pushing
in the top of this chimney the frag- ,
ments would first fsl.' down its throat j
and then come flying nut into the air, j
with explosions that were amusingly ,
like a prolonged stentorian cough.
True Wealth.
The demand to be rich is legitimate. '
Men are urged by their very natures to !
acquire command over the forces about I
them. Every man is born for improve- j
merit; no individual can stand still, !
either physically, morally, or in the {
matters of daily life and business. The ;
true man craves advancement, not nec- |
essarily in the mere possession of clol- |
lar?, but in enlarged knowledge, in- j
creased capacity to grapple with the j
forces of nature, broadened views of i
life and its purpose, greater control over j
his own mind and faculties. The man
of resources is the man of strength.
The successful farmer is one who is rich
in experience, in hope, in energy, and
in that quiet assurance which enables ;
him to deal on even terms with men of
every condition.
The world is a tool-chest, and that
man is richest who can draw the greatest
assistance, comfort or happiness
from his surroundings. The manly
part is for each to do with might and
main what he is best adapted to accomplish.
Nature requires each man to
feed himseif. Each man is a consumer;
henco ho should feel it his bounden
duty, either to become a producer, or
assist .some one else in the legitimate
work of production. No person can
feel rich or strong or self-satisfied who
has nothing to do. A pocketful of dollars
would be no compensation for a
man to lose his leg or his mind. Money,
without the f-kill or training to iise
properly, is the merest bauble. A contented
mind is a continual feast.
Povery demoralizes, yet a man in !
debt is so far a slave. More distress ;
arises from inordinate ambition to '
reach too far, to accomplish too much, j
to bear burdens beyond the strength j
of the individual tiiau irom oilier
cau-es. An absolute success in some
humble undertaking is far more satisfying
to the average man than a perilous
chase after castles in tho air. '
True wealth consists in pleasant sur- 1
roundings, and in that state of mind \
which seeks enjoyment and improvem?nt
in every legitimate channel.
Grand opportunities, brilliant openings
are not absolutely necessary to the man
who would seek true wealth. Specula- 1
tive eras ruin and demoralize a thousand ;
men to one enriched.
Many a man has money who is not |
rich. He who hoards and hides is not j
possessed of true wealth. They should ;
have wealth who have the faculty of i
administration, who can benefit whole !
neighborhoods by a little timely aid, j
who have the power to lead others to j
success. The truest charity consists in j
helping our fellows to sustain them- j
selves, not in making idle paupers of i
them. True content consists in com- j
paring our situations with those who I
are worse off than ourselves, rather !
than instituting comparisons with those
few who have superior advantages and
possessions. Afrer all, true wealth is
commonly an acquirement possessed
only by those whose self-control and
self-poise are in harmony with nature
about them.
A >'ew Soporillc.
An Austrian chemist is said to have j
devised a soporific, of which a few
drops sprinkled on the head and face ;
will stupefy a man in a few seconds, j
He gave it the name of "Tamer," and
offered to sell the secret of iis prepara- '

others.
Some people don't believe in advertising.
We have tried it, however.
Yesterday we lost a roll of bills containing
about $100. "We judiciously advertised

Grafting the Grape. 1
The past twenty years I have grafted J
and propagated many thousands of
grapevines in my greenhouse and in
the field; have tried almost every month
in the year, and I find April or May the
best time, or when tho buds are just ,
bursting or pushing; then no sap Trill (
trouble or drown out the graft, as is the ]
case when the grafting is done in the ,
fall or early spring, as heretofore recom- (
mended. Such grafting will most sure- (
ly prove a failure. I use no wax; clay (
is much better; but the scions must be ^
kept baik. Graft below ground on j
young, thrifty plants. No good grafter (
would ever think of grafting old snsgs ,
or old trees that ought to be cut down; j
and so with old vines that have been j
neglected and not renewed, they are no |
better than old snags, and it is time j
lost to try to improve such self-exhausted
and worn-out plants. Nor can grafting
be done by every one without
experience. No grafter is always sue- i
cessful in grafting the apple or pear, i
much less in grafting the grape, as it is 1
quite a different process, although quite i
simple to ono who knows how.?Canada .
Farmer. i
Liberal line of Mnnure. i
J. Bridgeman, of the Elmira Farmers' \
club, illustrates the value of the liberal {
application of barnyard manure by tbo j
following story: A story of my early j
observation comes to my mind. When j
I was eighteen years old my father was j
going away from tho farm for a few \
days, and he gave me a task to perform i
in his absence. It was to draw out ma- ]
nure to a lot assigned. I had a young j
associate, Perry Stowell, to help me, j
but neither of us knew how closely the j
loads should be placed, so we drew j
seventy-five loads with a yoke of three?

team, and when we had finished it was
found that we had put all those big '
loads on an acre and a half. That was
more than thirty years ago, but the j
ground that was dressed so heavily has
in all that time never forgotten the ap- !
plication. If I plow it for grain I get a j
bigger crop than from any other like ]
area in the field, it brings more corn, 1
more grass; in fact, it feels that manure
to this day, although I cannot suppose 1
any of its substance is left. The fact j
is it made that aero and a half so 1
much better than other land alongside
that bigger crops were a matter of !
course, and the very fact of raising bigger
crops implies more refuse matter to
decay in the soii and so maintain fertility '
in the first place imparted, in this case,by J
the seventy-five loads of manure. There
is always a stiller sod, stronger growth :
on that land, making it worth enough 1
more to pay for what at the time was
considered wasteful use of the manure.
American Sheep.
It is a reproach to the farmers of i
America that we are compelled to import
much of the wool with which to make i
our necessary wearing apparel. Wo j
want more and better sheep than we
have ever had before, and instead of
this being a market for foreign wool
the current should be turned the other
way. The best we can do, however, it
will be a long time before wo can spare
any of our wool in foreign markets, and,
indeed, we may feel proud when our
production is sufficient to fairly mee
the home demand, which it must be remembered
is being very materially aug- 1
mented by emigration to our shores, |
while upon the other hand there is a
corresponding decrease in the demand ;
in the countries from which these emigrants
come, owing to the same cauge.
One obstacle to a more general sheepraising
has been the seemingly depressed
condition of the wool market for many
years. In view of the fact, how- 1
ever, that the losses of sheep dur.ng I
the last winter were greater than of any 1
other kind of stock, the gradually
strengthening demand at the present
time would seem to warrant the general j
belief that floekmasters will not have to
accept mean compensation for their ,
labor.?Drovers' Journal, j
The So-Cullctl Hog Cholera.
If there is any one subject upon
which people have muddled id6as it is j
that of diseases of swine, and conse- (
qucntly if from any cause a number of |
hogs in a herd or neighborhood die iu (
the same week or month the statement ,
is mado and circulated that "cholera" ,
prevails. The term ia comparatively a ,
meaningless one and io made to apply j
frt nnv r\t n dn7on GT77?litnmH. H'lien in I
reality hogs do not liavo any disease (
that rightly could bo called cholera; i
hen 'e when our farmora lose some of j
their hogs we hope they will investigate j
and see if the loss is not due rather to ]
some mismanagement of their own than |
to any epidemic. Of course it matters |
little to the loser by what name the dis- (
ease is called which robs him of the \
best of his herd, but no man in his j
right mind can suppose the hog becomes }
sick or dies from mere stubbornness.
Some law of nature has been violated,
and nature's penalty, disease, follows. ,
Nature points unerringly to the fact J
that the hog as well as any other animal
requires a variety of food, and no greater ,
mistake is made by breeders than con- ;
fining him to corn day after day throughout
the year. For fattening purposes
nothing better than that can be produced
for the same money is likely to ,
found, but for healthy, vigorous growth ,
and making it is far from a perfect ,
food. It is too 'carbonaceous for bone c
ormuscle production, and without these ^
an animal cannot have vitality, activity
or endurance. The unvaried use of it
causes a feverish condition of the sys- ,
tem, constipation, suspension of growth,
and a general debility which make the j
animal a ready and easy prey to other
and more malignant forms of diseases.
Tho Canadian and Yankee farmers do i 1
not lose their hops from cholera: with j
some corn they ie?'d potatoes, pumpkins, i'
1 l.Ll... 1 I 1
waslo appies, vegeiuuxe^, ums, uciine, barley,
bran, shorts, millstuff, peas, j
etc., a variety that produces a remark- r
able growth of healthy hogs at a mini- 4
mum cost. j
In the Western States, where farmers
raise hogs by hundreds, the most practicable
means of supplying a change of
feed is to grow clover, beets and artichokes.
llightly managed, either of
these will yield on r.n acre an enormous
quantity of food on which pigs, shoats
and breeding animrJs thrive amazingly, ,
with little dauger of the numerous ail- j
ments that cholera i* a handy but non- ,
sensical name for. Coin is gocd, well '
nigh indispensable, but our farmers '
will be better ofl' when they fully realize
that something else is better to
raise pigs on.?Kansas Fanner.

Of Miss M.iria Mitchell, professor of q,
istronomy, it is related that at the time ^
of the appearance of the last comet she
had left Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and got
is far on her road lo Boston as Provilence
when she became aware of the
jomet's discovery. Immediately she
liscontinued ber journey and returned -r
to Vassar to make a series of observations.
For five nighta these were unjualifiedly

The Chinese and Japanese build In
nost of their vessels of teak. This wood m
;s very durable, and will stand the water pi
setter than any other wood that is used bl
'or sliipbuiidihg. According to the
A ttstralasian Shipping News, there lies a
it the bottom of Dusky bay a large ves- ti
5el that can be plainly seen in clear ^
ivater. She has been there for centuries,
and tho Maois have a legend jf
ibeut her. They say that their grand- g(
"dt.bors tobl thorn that in their child
hood a large vessel sank in Dusky bay; "
ihat the crew managed to reach one of
the small islands and after living there '
for years died off one by one. Who they
were or where they came from the A
Maoris conld not say. A diver is said S
to have recently examined this mysterious
old hulk. He reported that she B
is built of teak and appears to be still
perfectly sound and firm. 5
Black birch is pressing its claims to
succeed black walnut as an ornamental
wood. It is much the same color as
sherry, and can bo stained so as to look K
[ike walnut. Where the land is high
ind dry the fiber is firm and clear, but "
in low, wet soil it is soft and of a bluish 11
liue. It is already used largely for the a
perforated chair bottoms. The Toronto
Globe says that it is very abundant in 13
Ontario. It is so solid, however, that 11
it does not float after soaking a few days a!
in water, and unless it is so situated as li
to be rafted with pine logs it has to be *i
dragged great dist ances by horse power, p
In consequence of its prospects in su- s
perseding walout, it is already rising in ai
price. Probably, however, says a West- tl
ern paper, its reign will be of short du- ?
ration, as the cultivation of black wal- j
nut is rapidly becoming a regular in- p
dustry. It is regarded as one of the ()
most profitable of crops?if one can af- jj
ford to wait. 8(

How Easy It to to Me, " ' *
"If I had strength to hold a pen, 1 Aj

That the painlessness of death is getl
wing to some benumbing influence on t
cting on the sensory nerves may be in- jB tl
irred from the fact that nntoward ex- the
jrnal snrronndings rarely trouble the han{
ying.

In the Quarterly Review there is re- gdi
ated an instance of a criminal who esaped
death from hanging by the break- [
og of the rope. Henry IV., of France M
ent his physician to examine him, who
eported that after a moment's sufferng
the man saw an appearance like fire,
cross which appeared a most beautiful
.venue of trees. When a pardon was
aentioned the prisoner coolly replied
hat it was not worth asking for. Those
pho have been near death from drownng,
and afterward restored to consciousLess,
assert that the dying suffer but
ittle pain.
Captain Marryatt states that his sen- .
ations at one time when nearly drowned /a
