The Dkummlk Got Left.?A Scotch story is that of a diminutive drummer in a local brass band, who was in the habit, when out parading with his comrades, of walking by sound and not by sight, owing to his drum being so high that he was unable to see over it. The band, on Saturday afternoons, paraded usually in one direction, but the other day the leader thought he would change the route a little, and turned down a by street. The drummer, unaware of this movement, kept on his accustomed way, drumming as hard as ever be could. JBy and by, after finishing his part and not hearing the others, he stopped, and, pushing his drum aside, he looked to see what was the matter. His astonishment may be imagined at finding that he was alone. "Hae!" he cried to some bystanders, "has ony o' ye seen a band hereabout ?"?The Argonaut. Thank God. She's Lit.?a commercial tourist informs the Anniston, Ala., Watchman that as he was coming over from Atlanta a few days ago, an old lady | boarded his train at Tallapoosa, occupied a seat near him, and from her actions, was experiencing her first ride on the cars. The train was moving at a high rate of speed, when it ran on the high trestle between Anniston and that place, where it seemed as if the train was suspended in mid-air. The old lady convulsively grasped the seat and seemed to hold her breath nntil the opposite side of the chasm was reached, wnen she gave a deep sigh of relief and exclaimed: "Thank God, she's m _____ Chicago Education.?At a Chicago breakfast table: Husband?Frightful blizzard that in the East, wasn't it?

What Would Stop Them.?A particularly vigorous speaker at a woman's rights meeting waving her long arms like the sails of a windmill, asked: "If the women of this country were to rise up in their thousands and march to the polls I should like to know what there is on this earth that could stop them ?" And in the momentary silence which followed this peroration, a still small voice remarked : "A mouse 1" "I could gaze at the moon for hours, Mr. Sampson," she said, in a voice full of sweetness and pneumonia. "I never tire of it." "Ah I" he responded, "would that I were the man in it!" "Yes," she assented softly. "And why, Miss Clara ?" he asked, gettingready to take her hand. "Because, Mr. Sampson," she said, shyly veiling her eyes with their long lashes, "you would be 4,000,000 miles away." An Extravagant Suggestion.?

The Position of Agriculture.?Ed ward Atkinson, who has given much at tention to forecasting the agricultural future of this country, recently made the following remarks: "Thefactory, themine and the metal works have their true place but their relative importance must not be exaggerated. The collective work which can be carried on by the factory principles of great subdivision of labor, and by bringing together of large numbers of people under one roof or under one control, now gives occupation to less than one in ten ol all those who are occupied for gain in this country, the workers numberingabout one in every three of the population.' The other nine work with brain or hand where the work is to be done, and each one depends upon the farm, as on his own personal capacity for his success. The product of the dairy exceeds that of any single branch of textile industry, and it is nearly equal to that of the whole. The value ol the hens' eggs consumed every year in the United States is greater than that of the pig iron." Green Oats Not .Wholesome?An English agricultural paper says that "there is one curious point in respect to the ripening of oats that has never been accurately studied. As all horse keepers know, new oats and are not fit for working horses. They loosen the bowels, make the flesh watery, or "soften them down," as the term is; that they render the animals aDt to sweat easily, and put them gener ally "out of condition." How, or why the new oats produce these effects Is not known, but in the course of a few months after harvest, and especially after cold weather has set in, the oats undergo a change of some kind, either of after ripening or of fermentation, and are thereafter fit for feeding to horses. Probably this difference between new and old oats depends upon a change in the chemical composition of some one peculiar and, sc to say, medicinal constituent of the oal grain." The Grasses.?The grasses, for convenience, may be ranged in two general divisions. The first division comprises all the true grasses or plants with long, simple, narrow leaves and a long sheath divided to the base which seems to clasp the stem; or rather, through which the stem appears to pass. The artificial grasses are mostly leguminious plants with a few stems which are cultivated and used like the grasses, although they do not properly belong to this latter class. In general, grasses ought to be cut not long after the time of flowering, for although there is a great deal of nourishment in the ripe seed, it is harly enough to make up for the loss in the stalks and leaves, which are most valuable before the soluble materials, such as starch, gum and sugar, are gradually changed into woody fiber. How He Made Manure.?Students of agriculture are familiar with the experiments made by Jared Eliot in 1747. He made a long, narrow yard into which his cattle were turned at night. Once a month the end fences were taken out and the whole surface of the yard well plowed. The end fences were then replaced and thecattle turned in on the plowed ground. TKio tiro a Iron* im thrniicrh t.hfi Slimmer and in the fall the bottom of the yard was carted out and spread upon the fields. When any field needed special manuring, this yard was made as near to it as possible. The system of folding sheep on plowed ground and "cow-penning," as practiced in parts of the South, are outgrowths of this old system of spading poultry yards frequently and carting out the surface soil for use in farm practice.? Rural New Yorker. Pigeons on the Farm.?Pigeons seldom do as much injury as they do good. They destroy a good many insects, and though fond of seeds, never disturb the plants after they have started. Even during the season when the seed cannot be injured they keep busy hunting for insects as they begin a new brood almost as soon as the previous one is fledged. Old pigeons are not sought, but the squabs are delicacies, and bring good prices. In proportion to cost, pigeons are very profitable. B6r* If an apple tree has a sound trunk and roots, it is a pity, says the American Cultivator, to destroy it under most circumstances. It takes many years to get a young tree into bearing, and when it does bear it will not furnish nearly so much fruit as one fully grown. By grafting with the Northern Spy and liberally manuring, an old apple tree may be made much more certainly productive than young trees of this variety, which are usually shy and tardy bearers. Great Effect of Drainage.?Experiments conducted at the Experiment station at Uniontown, Alabama, according to a bulletin recently issued, show that the average yield of corn on drained land was 36.84 bushels to the acre. The average yield without drainage was 24.02 bushels per acre. Drainage therefore caused an increase of 52.04 per cent. There was neither excessive rainfall nor drought during the season. Bgf Ten tons of superior Texas cottonseed were shipped from Galveston, Texas, on January 25, consigned to the German East African Colonization Society, Zanzibar, Africa.

This event marks the introduction of cotton on the east coast of Africa. *@"Not only will coal ashes furnish fine places for hens to roll, but if allowed free access to them they will eat the small partly-burned bits of coal that come through the sieve.

A most impressive funeral scene, and - one which rarely ever occurs, was witness ed by a large concourse of people at the - El Bethel Church, Chester county, on the 4th instant. ? Two aged sisters, Mrs. Mary Cherry aud ? Mrs. Julia Perkins, had died, the former t in York county, on the evening of the 3rd 3 instant, and the latter, at Lancaster, on the following morning. The relatives and - friends at the one place, knew'nothing of the sickness and death at the other place, - when the sad circumstances occurred. 1 The funeral services of Mrs. Cherry had just begun, on Thursday last, the Rev. * Mr. Brown, of Chester county, conduet3 ing the service, when it was announced t that the corpse of Mrs. Perkins had been brought upon the ground. The^services * were suspended, and the two coffins were i* placed side by side when a joint service - was held by Rev. Mr. Brown and the Rev. f S. T. Fuller, of this place. The body of Mrs. Cherry was then taken - to the grave and interred, Mr. Brown, of) flciating. Afterwards the body of Mrs. Perkins was buried, Mr. Fuller closing I the services. Mrs. M. C. Cherry, was 82 I years old. She had united early in life i with the Associate Reformed Presbyterian ' Church at Union, Chester county. She remained a member of this church until about 10 years ago when she joined the * El Bethel Methodist Church, Chester county. Mrs. Perkins was Go years old when she * died. She united with the Hopewell > Baptist Church, Chester county, when ? about 15 years of age. She lived a devot* ed Christian for 50 years. She had been ' sick about one week of catarrhal pneumo' nia, when suddenly she grew worse, and died at 7 o'clock on the 4th instant. She > was the mother of Mrs. Graham and Mrs. ' Perkins of this place. These two sisters 1 leave a wide circle of relatives to mourn * their loss.?Lancaster Ledger, May 9th. > ? ? > 1 Singular Accident.?The case of Ab1 solum Frierson, a white boy living in Clarendon county, this State, is one of the most remarkable in the medical science. [ The doctors who have sben him say there f is no such case on record. One day the ' latter part of last April, the boy was care; lessly loafing around the mill, when he ! was caught by the gearing and pulled up 1 against the revolving wheel. His head was drawn against the wheel just where the head of an iron bolt was projecting, | and before the machinery could be stop* ped, this wheel had possibly revolved a hundred times, the iron bolt each time tearing through his forehead. When re1 leased from tne machinery, his head was ' a terribly mangled object. The bolt had ) torn a passage through his forehead from [ the top of his head to the middle of his ' nose, about five inches long, an inch and a " half wide, and an inch deep. The brain . was exposed in this passage for about three ' inches by one and a half inches, and small ' parts of it were destroyed. The nasal 1 bone, except a very small part of it, was k torn out, and a cavity an inch and a half ; deep is made where the nose should be. It was a fearful sight and there is no par1 allel case on record where a person survived such a shock to his nervous system, 1 to say nothing of the wound itself. The * patient has to be kept on his back, for, ' should his head be turned face downward a slight jar would probably throw his brains out. A fit of vomiting would prove fatal. Both the membranes that cover the brain have been torn away, and the only hope is that nature will supply another. The cool weather has been favorable to| wards suppressing inflammation or blood ! poisoning, either of which would prove fatal. The wound appears to be healing. The boy says he feels a great deal better, and it is possible that he may get well. He has about one chance out of a hundred thousand. I The very earliest bricks were not ' baked, being used for mud walls, and it is probable that the difficulty of drying such walls first led to the idea of dividing the material composing them into comparatively small blocks. These unburnt bricks were at first cubical, but gradually became oblong. Later the practice arose of mix1 ing rushes with the clay in order to make a more complete and rapid drying. Then , it became customary to insert pieces of ' reed into the outside faces of the bricks so that this face might dry rapidly and form a hard surface to the wall. The drying probably took at least two years, even under the Eastern sun; but after this period the brick became exceedingly hard and were perfectly secure against any atmospheric changes, especially when covered with some impermeable substance such as | bitumen or vitrified glaze. Such bricks, uninjured by the lapse of ages, are lound in the pyramids of Central America and at ; Bagdad. The Fisheries LisPUTE.-The agitated fisheries dispute is: 1. Whether the United ! States have a right in the British fisher: ies, independent of treaty provisions. 2. ' What are the rights of the American fishermen under the convention of 1818, and j under the laws of navigation and trade ? ; 3. The "headlands" question, which is in- 1 cidental to the other two questions. The British hold that the line must be drawn from headland to headland, three miles from shore. This interpretation would exclude American fishermen from the bays ' which indent the coast deeply and are the < resort of fish. The Americans say that three miles from shore means three miles ' distant at every point, consequently all : bays more than six miles wide at the mouth would be open to American fishermen. The importance to vegetation of an : abundant water-supply is shown by a con- i sideration of the amount of moisture which | is perspired by healthy plants. A sunflower, only three and a half feet high, with 5,516 square inches of surface exposed < to the air, gives off as invisible vapor < from twenty to thirty avoirdupois ounces \ , of water every twelve hours. This is more j than passes through the skin of a man. Most of the common cultivated plantssuch as wheat, beans, peas and clover? 3 exhale during five months of growth more i man two nunurea times tneir ary weignc of water while twice its weight of water passes from the Cornelian cherry in twen- ( ty-four hours. ^SrThe oldest tree on earth, so far as . any one knows, is the "Bo" tree in the sacred city of Amarapoora, Burmah. It was planted, says the Timber Trades' Journal, in 288 B. C., and is, accordingly, 2,171 years old. Its great age is proved by historic documents, according to Sir James Emmerson Tennet, who says: "To it kings have dedicated their dominions, in testimony of belief that it is a branch of the identical fig tree under which Buddha re| clined at Urumelya when he underwent ! his apotheosis." Its leaves are carried I away as streamers by pilgrims, but it is too sacred to touch with a knife, and there^ i fore they are only gathered when they > ! fall. 1ST A child's attractiveness is in his be' ingachild. If he seems like a little old man, he is not so attractive as either a ,1 real old man or a real child would be. ! Yet there are parents who are afraid that ' | their children will seem like children in what they say or do; and so they are ' j afraid to let them be themselves in their saying or doing, in their writing a note, or in their expressing their thanks by ; J word of mouth to one who has done them ' i some special favor.
