"I never read accounts in the newspapers of the pranks of college boys in 'hazing' the freshmen," said a white-haired, rosy-faced old New Yorker in the parlor of a big athletic .club the other night to a Tribune reporter, "but my mind reverts at once to a hazing scrape I got myself into in my salad days. Like all sophomores I was particularly intolerant of freshmen?much more so, of course, than the seniors. We had been strictly forbidden* by the faculty to do auy hazing at all, under penalty of expulsion, and so we could nor get together more than half a dozen adventurous souls who were willing to take the risk in order to punish the freshmen properly for daring to liye and presuming to come to college at all. We had to do the thing quietly, so after all the lamps were out, we would steal from our rooms, * meet in the corridor, and then make a descent on some lonely freshman and 'do him up' without unnecessary fhss. "We had operated successfully on two or three men, only one in a night, and were enjoying the sport thoroughly. The following night it became the turn of a long, rawboned man from Maine, who had little or nothing to say to any one, and whose only care seemed to be to keep his hands and feet out of sight. We anticipated some rare sport with him, and I remember now the haughty feeling with which I strode into his dark bed chamber, at the head of our gang, after we had pried his door open with one good twist of a real burglar's 'jimmy.' "The other men had generally cowered under their bedclothes or arisen tremblingly * in their night-shirts, and asked piteously to be let alone. This Maine man jumped out of bed, however, as if glad to meet us. He said not a word, he made not a sound, as he moved about in the dark; but, oh my! how he did 'swat' us! I never before experienced such fiendish strength as that fellow seemed to have. We were not familiar with his room and it seemed to be full of furniture, against which we stumbled, and over and under which he knocked us in the darkness, with the precision and force of a triphammer. He seemed to have a cat's sight, and he knew the room thoroughly, and the way he 'lammed' us was so unexpected that we got confused and lost our reckoning in trying to get out of the infernal room again. "I don't believe one of us hit him once. I know that after I had caught a terrific right hander on the tip of my nose, which sent me backward over an awfully angular coal scuttle, I kept on my hands and knees, and wabbled about in a blind search for the door, with the blood pouring into my mouth and over my shirt-front. He hit us with his fists like hams, he threw chairs at us, he kicked us when we went down, with his bare toes, which seemed as hard as iron; he mauled us, he pulled our hair out, he scratched us, he loosened our teeth, he broke our noses, he joggled our most internal organs, he utterly demoralized us, this whirlwind from Maine ; and when at last we all got out of this horrid den, more dead than alive, and had had time to collect our shattered senses and make a hasty estimate of our cuts and abrasions, I said: ' 'The Maine fellow must have gone out, boys, and left a gorilla in his bed instead.' "But just then we heard that vicious freshman, call out, with a mocking laugh : " 'Now go to bed, little men, and come again some other night when you're rested. This hazin's heaps of fun.' "But we decided that the sport was unmanly, anyway, and not the proper sort of thing for gentlemen to engage in." A HUSBAND'S RIGHTS. Clergymen are not always practical, but mkan their orlvirp )4 pnnd. tuuiu at o ttuivQ nuvu vuv?? ? 0? Here is the latest regarding the husband's rights. "Sir," he said, as he strode into the clergyman's study, "you are the man who tied the knot, I believe.". "I beg your pardon," said the clergyman, looking up from his sermon. "You performed the marriage ceremony for me, didn't you ?" "Yes, certainly, Mr. Willings. What, may I ask?" "Then you know what the rights of a husband are ?" "Why, yes, in a general way." "And the rights of a wife ?" "Of course." "Well, now, sir," said the caller, drawing a chair up to the clergyman's desk and taking a seat, "has a wife a license to torture her husband?" "Certainly not." "If she makes his life miserable he has redress, of course ?" "Yes, but I should advise?" "Never mind your advice now. We'll come to that later. My wife complains that I don't shave often enough." "Oh that's a small matter." "Is it, sir? Is it? Just wait? I informed her that that was my affair, and then she told the children to cry when I kissed them, so that she could say that my rough, unshaven chin hurt them." "That hardly showed a Christian?" "Just wait a minute! Yesterday morning I found them playing with the cylinder of a broken music-box. You know how that seems to the touch ?" "Certainly." "Well, she'd taught them to call it 'papa's chin!'" "Really, sir, I must admit?" "Now wait till I'm finished. Today one of them got up on my knee, passed his hand over my chin, and called it 'papa's musicbox.' "Now, sir, I ask of you, as a Christian man and as the minister who tied the knot, what shall I do ?" "Get shaved," replied the clergyman, softly as he returned to his work. Geography in South America.?Boston is a noble and famous city, but there are millions of people in the world who have never heard of it. Mr. N. H. Bishop, a boy of 17 or 18 years, was traveling across the pampas of South America in company with some natives of the Argentine Republic. Having said, perhaps a little proudly, that he was from Boston, he afterward heard this conversation between two of his fellow-travelers : "Where is Bostron?" asked one. "Bostron is in France, to be sure," replied the other. "That cannot be. France is a great way off, and has not got any moon ; and the gringo told me the other night that there is a moon in Bostron, and North America is in the same place." "Fool ?" exclaimed Number One. "North America is in England, the country where the gringoes live that tried to take Buenos Ayres;" "Look here, do you know I believe Parson Downycouch gambles?" remarked one gentleman to another. "Good gracious! I hope not." "I hope not, too, but a suspicious circumstance occurred last Sunday when he was reading out the service." "What was it?" "Well, instead of 'Oh, Thou, who hast the hearts of kings in Thy hand,' what do you suppose he read?" "I've no idea." "He read: 'Oh, Thou, who hast the king of hearts in thy hand.'" tST An old Highlander, rather fond of his glass, was ordered by his doctor during a temporary ailment not to take more than one ounce of spirits in the day. The old man was a little dubious about the amount, and asked his boy, who was attending school, how much an ounce was. "An ounce?sixteen drams, one ounce." "Sixteen drams!" exclaimed the delighted Highlander. "Gaw! no' so bad. Run and tell Donald Mactavish and Big Duncan to come doon the nicht." "There goes a man that we ought to go ; for," said one anarchist to another, pointing to a gentleman who was passing. "Do you know who he is?" asked the friend. "I do, for a fact," was the response. "He's a big capitalist, and he should not l>e allowed to live. "But he failed last week said the other, "and hasn't a cent." "Ah, that putsj a different face on the matter. He ought to i join us. Capital has tyranized over him, and ' he should try and get even."

If the young men of the rural districts want to amount to anything they should keep climbing one ladder step by step and not make too many changes. Going up two or three steps and then coming back and trying to climb some other ladder, is not j good policy. Young men, make up your minds deliberately which is the best ladder to climb, and then stick to that one. Talking with a young man last Saturday, J he informed me that the two necessary qualifications for success were "stick-to-a-tiveness" and "hang-on-a-tiveness." Two somewhat queer words, but with a world of meaning in them. Climbing the ladder of success is not the work of a month or of a year; but it requires a steady persistency in doing everything possible to win the prize. The slothful young man or the one who is hesitating will never reach the goal. That is out of the-question. Do not try too many things, but stick to thino- until vou have mastered the situ ation. There are "upper shelves" upon the farm as well as in banks or in newspaper offices. The young man who Is contented to live all his life in the cellar will have his ambition gratified. Success generally comes to toil and severe discipline. Sometimes, even these qualities do not command success for lack of something necessary to turn them to practical account. I)o not get into old ruts. They may have [ been good enough for those who lived in the | past; but your grandfathers' hats are, at , best, only curiosities. The -times have put them in the background to be hung up on pegs, only to be looked at occasionally. There are yet new paths to be trodden on the wellworn farm. And in them may be found both competence and fame. The coming farmer must be filled with new ideas, and yet must be careful what he does and how he does it. The people still continue to eat, and while they do, that farming is a necessity and should also be a lucrative and independent way of earning a living.?George R. Scott agricultural editor of N. Y. Witness. HORSESHOES AND LUCK. The superstition that associates the horseshoe with good luck is very old. It is said to prevail not only among English-speaking people, but in 'all the races of Europe and southern Asia. Antiquarians are undecided whether its origin has to do with the material from which the horseshoe is made or with its shape. The ancients believed that iron, as a metal, had great secret powers, and they drove nails into their walls as a | protection against pestilence. The Arabs, when overtaken by severe storms in the desert, cry out, "Iron! iron 1" which they think will propitiate the evil spirits who have raised the storm. The Scandinavian races think that spirits can be driven away and witches kept at bay by a knife stuck in the house, or nails driven up. These races have held from time immemorial the idea that it was lucky to find a piece of iron. As horseshoes are the form in which iron is most frequently found, it is naturally the form to which the superstition has longest clung. As regards the forms of the horseshoe, there is no doubt that among the ancients the crescent form was much favored as having lucky or preservative powers. Ornaments were shaped in this way to drive away evil spirits. The Chinese have their tombs built in a semi-circular form, like a horse-, shoe, aud the Moors use the same form in their architecture. It may be remarked that in the mythology of Europe, horses were also regarded as luck bringers, and superstition once supposed that a horse's hoof placed under the bed would cure certain complaintst The horseshoe, therefore, may be said to unite within itself three lucky elements: It is in the shaoe of a crescent, it is made of iron, and it has been taken from a horse. Some writers on this subject have surmised that the lucky quality of the horseshoe was derived from its resemblance in form to the pictured halo above the heads of saints, but this connection is improbable, since the superstition certainly autedates Christianity. Number of People Since Adam.?Did you ever make a calculation of the probable number of people that have inhabited our globe since the beginning of time? No doubt you will say that such calculations involve a loss of time, and are all ;r all barren of results. But let us take a few minutes' time and approximate, with a certain degree of accuracy, the number of souls that have been ushered into this wicked world since the time when it was "not good for Adam to be alone." At the present time it is believed that there are 1,400,000,000 huma) beings on the globe ; but let us suppose that there has been but an average of 900,000,000 living at any one time since the creation. .Next, to give room for any possible doubt, we will put the average length of life at fifty years. (It may have been much longer than that 5,000 years ago, but has been much shorter for the last 1,000 years.) With the average length of life as above, we have had two generatious of 900,000,000 each every century for the past 6,000 years. Taking this for granted this globe has had 66,627,843,237,075,266 human inhabitants since the beginning of time. To even bury this vast number the whole landed surface of the globe, every inch of it, would have to be dug over 120 times.?Philadelphia Press. Honesty in Prayer.?"Our prayers should be frequently examined to see whether we are asking for what we really want, or only for the things we have an idea we ought to want. There is too much of this unreality and practical dishonesty current both in the closet and the public prayer room. People sometimes get into a glow of pleasurable devotional excitement as they pray; their imagination works finely, they have a good flow of language and become heated with their own rhetoric, almost eloquent, uud as the fine phrases roll trippingly off the tongue they ask for things which they would not only be much astonished to receive, but actually sorry in their cooler moments. What we sincerely desire we shall be willing to pay the price for. And there is always a price attached ; that is a condition. If we want to sit on the right hand of Jesus we must be willing to drink of His cup. There is much more poetry than piety in some prayers. They sound well, but the Lord, who knows the heart, does not find satisfaction in them."?Christian Standard. A Country Without Rain.?A letter from LaSalle county, Texas, eighty miles southwest of San Antonio, on the Arkansas, International and Great Northern railway, gives a picture of the drought and desolation in that section. In three years it has not rained a drop. The prairies, once car- j peted with rich grasses, are as bare as a' billiard table. The streams have gone dry. j There is no water anywnere. rrom any i eminence, as far as the eye can reach, there I is not a spot of green.

All cattle and sheep have I been sold and shipped to other States. Many of the Mexicans are cowboys or soldiers. They have no means of subsistence and some of them have tried to farm it, but the seed sown two years ago remains I unsprouted and undeveloped in the ground, j From LaSalle county alone 72,000 head of sheep have been removed. #6T The popular vote of this country is i Democratic. The Dubnarn Herald truly says that the Republican party has been in the minority for many years. General Grant,' in 1872, was the last Republican presidential candidate, except one, who received more votes than his Democratic opponent.1 Mr. Tilden's vote in 1870 was 250,935 more than that for Mr. Hayes; Garfield hud only 7,000 more than Hancock ; Cleveland in 1884 had 02,683 more than Maine, and in j 1888 his popular vote was 98,017 in excess | of Harrison's. In 1890 the Democratic can-i didates for congress received many thousand i more votes than their Republican opponents. I Of the forty-four States in the I'nion, there are Democratic governors in twenty-eight.

SUMMER PRUNING. With all varieties of trees more or less pruning is necessary in order to secure a proper growth and shape. Just how much pruning shall be given can be determined only by the growth and thrift of the tree and the shape and form desired by the owner. There are so many varying conditions under which the work must be done that no set of rules can be laid down. The judgment of the owner must largely determine how and when to prune. Pruning when the tree is dormant helps the growth. Pruning during growth tends to check it, and with thrifty, growing trees this is often desirable in order to make an even development of roots and top. Trees should always be pruned when they are transplanted, cutting back the tops in proportion to the roots. Then, from this on, annual pruning can nearly always be given. One decided advantage in annual pruning is that the necessity for the removal of large limbs is avoided and a better shaped tree can be secured. As the tree grows it can be shaped as desired, with very little work and much more satisfactorily than if the tree is allowed to grow its own way for several years and then an attempt made to prune it into proper shape. Annual summer pruning has the advantage of discarding the use of the knife and saw, for nearly or quite all the pruning necessary can be given with the thumb and ' * * L! J - - linger, ana ruumng or pincning on me uiiaesirable growth. The work can be done easily and rapidly, and the nutriment that would otherwise be wasted in growing and maturing branches that will need to be removed later will be diverted into other channels. It is a good plan to go over the tree two or three times during the summer and give such pruning as seems necessary in this way. With small fruits this plan of pruning is especially good. With raspberries, pinching off the ends of the growing canes after a proper height has been reached, not only keeps them under control better, but induces throwing out of more laterals and will nearly always cause a stockier growth. Grapevines and, in fact, all varieties of I small fruits can be pruned during the summer to a good advantage, and in nearly all cases with better results than at any other time.?St. Louis Republic. CUTTING PEA VINES. There seems to be to my mind a mistaken idea as to the proper time for cutting peavines. Most writers on the subject advocate cutting when the pea is in full bloom. This is no doubt the time at which the viues would make the most tender and palatable hay, provided one had such a quantity as he could cure under shelter; but it is next to impossible to cure a large quantity of peavines cut at this stage unless we have an unusually fair spell of weather, and this we can never bank on in August. My experience teaches me it is best to wait until the pods begin to ripen before cutting the vines, when they will cure much more easily and rapidly. The hay will not be altogether so tender and juicy as when cut a little earlier, but I think it has not lost anything in nutri(Ir.nc valnp TTiirVilv fieri miloh rows will not eat it quite so greedily, but mules will eat it just as well, and will do better on it than when cut before the peas are on. The "Unknown" pea, sown this month, will be ready for cutting in September, when we can reasonably count on fair weather for most of the time. Cut in the forenoon, after the dew is ofT, and rake up and cock in the afternoon. No kind of forage should have more sun than is absolutely necessary for saving it. Make the peavines at first into small high cocks, aud in three or four dajs into larger ones, by putting four or five of the smaller into one. In this shape they can remain until ready for putting in the barn. I have a new method of sowing peas this summer which I think I will like. I plow the peas in with a square pointed scooter, and harrow smooth with the tooth harrow. I like this better than breaking land with turn plow and harrowing peas again. Another reason which was not considered in what was previously said, is this: I always sow the peas myself, and in this way can walk on the unplowed ground in sowing the seed, while in the former you have to foot it over the fresh plowed land.?Southern Cultivator. HOW TO UTILIZE COLD HAM. Cold boiled ham is one of the most convenient of things to find in the cellar. It is capable of being prepared in many ways, and the dishes of which it forms the principal portion are quickly and easily made. To cook a ham, boil it three or four hours, according to size. After removing the skin, put it in the oven for half an hour, then cover with bread crumbs and set back for half an hour longer. Boiled ham is always improved by putting it in the oven for nearly half an hour until much of the fat dries out. This also makes it more tender. Ham Toast?Grate a sufficiency of the lean of cold ham. mix some beaten yolk of egg with a little cream, thicken it with the grated ham, put the mixture in a saucepan over the fire and let it simmer awhile. Have ready some slices of bread nicely toasted and buttered, spread the ham mixture over the toast thickly and send to the table warm. Ham Patties?Chop fine six ounces of the lean veal and half the quantity of ham. Put them into a pan with an ounce of butter rolled in flour, half a gill of cream, a little grated nutmeg and lemon peel, salt and cayenne pepper. Stir the whole over the fire some tinre, then fill the patty cases. Ham Omelette?Take a slice of broiled ham and mince it as small as possible. Break four eggs and beat. Put a piece of butter into a frying pan and let it get hot. Add a little salt to the eggs and pour into the pan. As the eggs set, shift it from the sides with a spoon. Just before folding put in the ham, then fold it half over and let it slip on to the dish.?New York World. Rkmkijiks for Stikcs of Bkks.?As the sting of a bee is acid, an alkali should be employed to relieve it; therefore ammonia or soft soap would be found most successful; but in an emergency any of the following remedies may be applied to reduce the swelling and relieve the pain : Vinegar, olive oil, raw onion, a paste of clay or flour and water, salt and water, tobacco juice, tincture of arnica and water, honey or laudanum ; but if the person is not very nervous or excitable, cold water applied to the wound will generally be found quite sufficient, provided it is not rubbed or scratched. An individual who is badly stung by a swarm of bees must be kept cold and quiet for several days, as any active exercise or violent exertion by which heat is generated will make the poison active. fIt is a pity that more guinea fowls are not kept by farmers. Their quaint call and shy habit show that they are not far removed from game birds, which almost everywhere are disappearing. No kind of fowl lays so many eggs. Their meat is dark colored, and to those unaccustomed to game, it is sometimes not thought good ; but yet this wild flavor is just what very many like, and many more would if they tried to overcome prejudice..

We are inclined to think that by nature he is quite as clean as the cow ; yet no farmer would think of keeping the cow in as filthy quarters as are allotted to the hog.

How would they look, and what condition would the horse be in if you did not apply the comb and brush for that length of time?

Small children generally receive water only as they get it in their milk, or milk food, alike in summer and winter. It is probable that the fact seldom occurs to a mother or nurse that a child may be thirsty without being hungry at the same time. Certainly many a discomfort and even a sickness in a child is conditioned upon the fact that it has been compelled to eat in order to get its thirst satisfied, and often has to suffer thirst because the overstimulated and injured stomach will take no more nourishment at irregular and to short intervals. | litegisitU #iitherwgs.

I now consider it an indispensable linple-, J ment on the farm. Xo farmer who looks utter his own ; 1 Interest can afford to be without it. To give an Idea | J of Its value ut this time, when every farmer is so far . ? behind with his work, I will say that I can take my |1 Harrow, with one hand and four mules, and put :t00 ' to -tOO pounds weight on the Harrow, and break eight 1 acres of corn-stalk, cotton-stalk or stubble land In one I 1 day, and prepare it deeper and lietter in every way 1 than canoe done with eight mules and eight hands > In the ordinary way. (I have a weight box on my ' Harrow. It is the length of the beam, and Is 9 Inches j wide at the bottom. 11 at the top, and nl>out 10 Inches ' deep. It Is fastened on to the beam with bolts.] ' Last spring I plowed up my cotton stalks, and with 1 the Disk Harrow and two mules, cut up the stalks 1 nnd pulverized my land to the depth of five Inches at ' the sameoperation, and at the rate ofan acre an hour. 1 Wheat and oats can be put in with it much better 1 than in the ordinary way. One hand nnd two mules ' is ull that is necessary to put in eight to ten ucres a 1 day. The best prepared land I have ever had was a piece of weed stubble turned In the fall and cut up with the Corbin Harrow in the spring. In conclusion, let me say that the Harrow thoroughly breaks and pulverizes the land and leaves It in a , porous condition. Land that has been pulverized with a Corbin Harrow will not bake.

C.: Dear Sir:?I have owned a 10-Inch Corbln Disk Harrow for the post four : years and have put it to every possible test and It has given entire satisfaction. I had long felt the need of i a burrow that would pulverize the soil thoroughly from four to six inches deep, and realized that this could not be done by any drag or tooth harrow, for i they only pulverize the surfocc, leaving many clods | or lumps untouched, and these clods would be worked to the surfoce In cultivating the crop: and all lntelli! gent formers know that cloddy land does not give the j best results. Hence the great importance of a Harrow thut will pulverize the soil as deep as the plow goes. | My Harrow will thoroughly pulverize to a depth of ; seven Inches. 1 want nothing better in stalk land in : putting in wheat or oats than the Corbln Harrow, for ! It not only does better work than a plow, but it Is so ; much foster, cutting six feet at a time, end all formers know the importance of saving time at the season when these crops are usually sown. I venture the assertion that no former who o<tns a Corbln Harrow would be without it for twice its cost. Two great advantages the harrow possesses over most improved forming Implements Is its simplicity and durability. Any sleepy-headed free negro can operate it if he has senseenough to drlvea wagon. I have prepared stubble land for planting, where there was no rocks or stumps, with my harrow, by harrowing it twice, crossing the first work with the last, as well or better than I have ever done with a plow. Much more might be said about the Corbln Harrow but I think I have said enough to Induce formers to inquire Into its merits. All who investigate will be converted. Very Respectfully, Felix H.
