Wonder* o{ the Oil Region
.A remarkable phenomenon has
fehneared in the oil regions of
lVbhle City, Pa. A fire broke
^Aetently in one of the wells,
wnicli has since been constantly
horning Tb quench it all the
wells in tbo neighborhood were
laid nnder contribution. These
were quickly pumped out, and
about 8 o'clock next morning a
man went to his putnp for water,
but imagine his surprise when he
pumped up pure petroleum.. The
news quickly spread, and crowds
collected, and all day long the
f>rocess was kept up, the pump
ifting ont pure oil of a specific
gravity of 42 degrees. An engineer
who visited the spot thought
the oil came from a leak in the
Miller Farm putnps, which pass
but a tew hundred feet from it,
but this theory has been disproved
by later developments. All the
wells in the neighborhood were
immediately pumped dry, when
the precious liquid began to ilow
in each, which was carried away
in bottles, buckets and all sorts of
articles by the people. Tho first
well " struck " belonged to a Mrs.
Rickets, a widow wotnan, who
has heretofore earhed a living by
washing. It is at the depth of
sixteen feet, and' was only pumped
at intervals, but the oil came freely
in answer to the pumping, and
would fill a barrel in ten minutes.
It was not worked more on account
of a difficulty in getting barrels
to put the oil in.
Mrs. Rickets was offered, at
first, $1,000 for it, and then $2,000,
until at Inst aa gentleman secured
the refusal at $5,000. Meanwhile,
the well which is on fire can be
seen at a great distance, the flames
rising sixty feet high, and the
crackling of it can be distinctly
heard a mile off. At times it
i a 4i i L_ _i
uuniB uorcer muri usual, oreaitmg
and roaring, and threatening to
burst the earth and engulf all
within its reach, and formibg a
scone beautifully grand and sublime.
The ground around ihd
well tor nearly five hundred feot
in every direction has been thoroughly
baked by the heat, and at
a little distance the trees are budding,
and sotne hare actually put
forth leaves. In somq places the
grass Iims grown two inches high,
forcibly reminding one ot summer
on a small scale. The well is
owned by parties in Rochester,
New York, and was'Strnck some
four weeks ago. It commenced
flowing oil and water, with a very
strong force of gas, and so continued
until the fire.
"Rkmedt for tub Cut worm.?
Dissolve from 1* to 2 "ounces ot
copperas in an ordinary sized pail
! (or bucket) full of water. Pour on
the planting corn enough of the
solution to cover it and two or
three inehes over, to allow for the
ft weiring ot tne gram. Let it re
main 85 to 48 hours; plant without
letting the' grain become dry.
If the weather should prove unfavorable
for planting at the end of
48 hours, it may remain in the so
lution longer, without risk ot injury.
I have planted, with perfect
success, corn that had been immersed
nine days. I have used
this preventive for mfcny years,
and have no hesitation in saying
that tho farmer who trios it once
will never omit it afterwards. A
weaker solution of the sulphate
will exterminate lice and other
vermin from rose bushes and other
plants I have used it on delicate

Frame Building Twenty-two
Mile* in Length.
Persona who pass hastily over
the Union Pacific Railroad hat dly
giro a thought to the immense
amount of work which has been
performed by the coiniwuiv.?
From the Bacratnento to* the present
terminus of tho road, at Elko,
the trains are once more running
regularly. The immense amount
ol money and labor ox ponded in
catting through mountains, opening
tunnels, grading the road, and
laying the track, can with difficulty
be realised by those not famil*
jar with the business. Not the
least of the problems to be solved
was that of protecting the track
from the heavy falls of snow
which were to be anticipated dur
ing the winter months. To obviate
this difficulty as far as possible,
the company determined to*
erect a series ot sheds, or rather
one budding, which should protect
the road over the snow line.
Accordingly, they have erected a I
building which is doubtless the
largest' in the world. It is twenty-two
miles in lengtfr, sixteen
feet in width, and sixteen feet in
height, not including the pitch of
the roofr It is put up in tae most
substantial manner, all the timbers
used being of the best quality
to be obtained. The sides are
enclosed, and were it not for tiio
fact that daylight penetratos
through the interstices between
the boards the whole affair would
be very like a |jnge tunnel. The
building is braced together in a
most peculiar manner, and is, in
addition, firmly bolted to tbo
rocks wherever the road is near
tho face ?f a cliff. Whe?re snow
slides are to be feared, an exten
sion of the roof has been carried
t9 tho cliffs, ao that the full ins
mas?es shalhpas* over tho building
and lodge on the other side.?
In many places, where side tracks
are located, the building is wider
than the figures given ab >ve ?
More than 40,000,000 feet of lnm-.
ber have been need in its construction.
It covers an area ot more
than 1,800,000 square feet, or
ne.rly forty-four acres. One ot
the best proofs of the stability of
the structnre is in the fact that,
with the exception of a few miles
which had not been really completed,
it thoroughly answered
the purpose for which it was designed
during the recent severe
storm, in which it was subjected
to the most severe tests.?Han

Woman in the Home,
What is It makes a bouse bright 3
pleasant to go to-?to stay in?

if fate totally annihilates it we recall
tenderly for years its atmosphere
of peace, cheerfulness, loving-kindness?
nay, its outside features?down
to tlte very pic'urea
on the walls, the pattern of the
papering,, the position of the furniture!
While other houses-we
shiver at tho remembrance of
them, and the dreary days we
spent in them?days of dullness,
misery, or strife?these houses we
.would not revisit for the world.
Why! If a house with fair
possibilities of home comfort is
thoroughly comfortless?if there i
is within it a reckless iinpossibili- I
tv oi ge ting things dono in the
right way or at the right time? i
or if, on tho contrary, it is con 1
ducted with a terrible regularity, j
so that an nninvited guest or an <
extempore meal sends a shock
throughout tho whole abode; it
the servants- novor keep their
places long; and the gentlemen ot
tho tamilr are prone to bo " out
ot evenings"?who ie to blame!
Almost invariably, tho women
of the family. The men make or
mar its ontside fortunes: but its
internal comfort lies in the women's
hands alone. Until they feel
this?recognize at once their
power and their duties?it is idle
for them to chatter about their
rights. Men may be bad enough
out of doors; but their influence
is limited and external. It is women
who are in reality either the
^Alvation or the destruction of a
household.?Miss MulocK.
i'btvtkr's Wrr.?Printers as a
class are a sharp set, and their
wit is often leveled at persons who
write for the press?especially
those who 44 write had hands."?
Wo know an editor who Was
dubbed 41 BeUhazzar" by the
printtrs in the oflico. " Why do
you call him Bulshuzzar f" wo asked
44 Because his manuscript re
minds us of the writing on the
wall at Belshozzar'a feast." 44 How
so?" we again asked. "Why,
because nobody who is not qos
sensed of the gift ot Daniel, ortho
concentrated guessing powers of
the Yankee nation can tell what
his manuscript means." The late
Judgo Saunders of North Carolina,
says the Raleigh Standard,
was noted for his illegible manuscript.
On one occasion a printer,
who had been perplexing his
brain in deciphering an article of
tlio Judge's, said : ;* I am in favor
of sending Jndgo Saunders to
China." 4,Why sot" asked a
young typo, 44 we have no minis
ter to that country." 441 don't
' propose to send him as minister,

Beets.?I will try to give you
my plan of planting and culture
of beets. In the first placo, I
have mr ground broke up deep :
then I have the ground covered
over with stable manuro; then
have it plowed in tolerably deep;
level the ground with a hoe or
rake; thou I got hen-htmse ma
nure ; scatter it over lue ground ;
hoe it in deep with grubbing hoe ;
level it Again; lay off the rows
eighteen inches apart, and the hills
one foot apart; and then they will
grow without any trouble. In
cultivating them, I have the graftal
id weeds cat up botwcen the
rows, in order to give them a good
chance to grow. I have raised
beets on the above plan that
weighed five and aix poun d 8
apiece.
