A starter. It was a red-haIred, gritty-complex loned man that got Into a Pawtucket car whIle it was Ia waitIng on the turn out., With hi5 long hair, capaciouls felt hat and a beard like a bitrning bush, he resembled a reformed Calliorniaitn. and probably was. There was an am-. inous asllence when lie took his scat, for somehow or other there was about the man anl air of uitisial desperate busl ness. Theio wits a speck of blood on the ball of' his fItil hazel eye. le con fronted the Manl 1 opposite h1im and scru tinized him severely, and then, In tones like a young cataract, demanded "'Ain't your nam Archibald Cusk?' "That is it, captali,'' replied the nan questioned, looking about him liuneas ily. "I was sure on't,'' thundered the stranger, taking a canvas bag from one pocket and a revolver ron the other and placing one each si(e of him "Eight years ago I got into this ear with inflammatory rheumatism in my right foot. I made a crotch rest for it by laying my cane crossways over my crutch. You came crashing Into the car and kicked my foot without an apol ogy. While I was wincing in hot-Lear ed agony, you said.

As tile stranger reiched for his re volver, the mani he had marked for im molation sprang to the car door, leaped to the side walk and shot dow n tie street "I liln't quito certain,'' observed the stranger, "thiat he is the eial that tred on my foot, but I was sure that ie had trod on sonic other feller's foot, and kinder thought, I had better fix him for a starter till I struck my man.

AGRICULTURE. STOnING POTATOEs.-very inethod has been tried by farmers to store and preserve their potatoes through the winter, and we may say until ,potatoes comei again. It Is the most valuable of alt vegetables, though here and there we find a writer who undertakes to tell us to the contrary. But the fact is It 18 universally consumed in all civilized countries, and where it cannot be grown It is imported, whlh canl be done long dIstances without injury, when ventil ation Is attended to. In storing pota toes several methods are adopted, yet they are all practIcally the same, the object being to protect then against freezing, whether buried In pits, or stored in cellars. The first considera tion Is to keep them in perfoctdarkness; Cihe next is, the bims should not be too (feep--not over three feet-to prodlice warmth and cause them to sprout. When stored In the field, straight tren dhes are dug, say twenty foot in length and four or ive feet wide, which are illied to the depth of three feet with potatoes, then well covered with stra w, on the top of which put eighteen or twenty Inches of earth. In a pit twen ty feet long there should be three gas escapes or ventilatimg openings, which should be plugged wfith straw and cov ered with board set atangle to turn the rain. If in cellars, barn or otherwise, the bins should be covered with rugs, old carpeting or straw. Those intend ed to be kept for the late spring sales should be frequently examined and all sprouts removed; lor as soon as i pota to begins to sprout It loses its solidity, dryness and (iality. rFFECT OF DFFEnENr MANURES ON GRASS LANDS.-A Yorkshire corres. londent of the London Agricuffural Gazette gives the following bit of exper ience, which shows that one should not be too hasty in judging of the conhpara Live effects of different kinds of man ure:--"Last January I dresset a Very poor plain, or sheep run (twenty-one acres), with about fourteen loads of farm yard manure (not very rotten) on four acres. Tihe rest of the pasture was sown about three weeks later with spe cIal dissolved bones, at the rate of tour hundred pounds per acre. The ell'et of the first dressing was soon visible andl the four acres were distinctly mark ed out. from the rest, showing where the manure was applied. As this re ialued uinchanged till the beglning of A pril, and the artifcial manure the appeared to have been used In vain, judgment was givemi in favor of the yard manure. Aftur this, however, we had some warmer weather, with line growing showers, which soon altered matters, and the line of demarkation became each day less distinct, till at length the superiority of the bones be came manifest. I have now (Junle 19th) got ia most luxuriant mixture o' gras ses, (chlefly red and white covers) from the portion sown with artifllial manure. On the four-acre piece there is scarcely any clover, an( only a. poolr share of rye-grass and other common varieties. I have used dissolved bones on a good deal of grass this year, and the result iII each case was astoniishing. My land Is a strong loamy clay.'' CROssING CTr'rLE.-M. Jullus Kiuhn, (lirector of the Halle Agronomical Station, Is well known for his experl ments on the profitable breeding of stock. Ile Is now occupied in feeding with the grunting bull of Tartary, or Yak, and a common cow, From ihis crossing a eIf is the result, which ex hibits iII a marked manner, the charac teristles of the sire. It is not very clear as to the practical advantages resulting from the experiment, and in a scienti tic sense tihe qjuestion Is unsolved. In Th'libet, and the regions of Upper' AsIa, thec Yak lIves in a wild state, and also in herds like ordinary domestIc animals. it Is empilloyedi as a beast of burden, andl the lesh Is reportedl to be savory. Its long hair Is ellpped every year',and. spun for the manufacture of a coarse tissue; the tail, resembling that of a horse, formas an implortant article of exporta tion. Crosses between the Yak an-! common ox ar'e not new, but it is ques tionable if' any Intermediate forms re sulting can pr'esent any superiorlty for: local p~urploses. In the event of' thei cmrossmngs themiselves proving prod ut ilve, there wvill be fresh evIdence on be half of the law of heredity, establishing| the facts whether the results be hybridsi or simply crossIng. CARE OF U.Ows.--.Iaving mnade tihei p~ropier selection of cows the next im-| lportanit step to success In dlairying is care and feed. There Is an old1 and trIte -adage that tile "best cow In the herd is tuhe one that you love the best." This |5 mnay not be always true, but the point wvhich the adage teaches Is that what you love very muceh Is likely to get goodi care and treatment. Nothing pays better than kind treatment to milK stock. Cows should be driven leisure ly, never faster than a walk, xiever whiippaed or beaten under any circumi stances. They should nob be worried or fI ightened by dogs, and a uniform kindness should be shown, extended even to the tor.es of the voice. Let thme attendants pet the animals (hilly, hand hing them tenderly, and gaining, I fpos sible, their entire confidence andl affec tion. These points may seem to some to be "far-fetched," but the advice is gIven as the result, of long experIence, and must be observed In order to attain the highest success, Hard Ltreatment, neglect and want of care not only lessen the quaratity of milk, but not unfre quently the mil1k is rendered unwhole somne and positively poisonous from such treatment. A solid, compact, hard or densely paeked soIl holds little or no air', hence is a powerful conduictor of both heat anid cold ; whIle a lhght, loose, porouis soil holds a large volume of air, andl is a poor conductor, is not liable to ex tremes of heat or cold, retains moisture weoll, but not water, is warmer In cool seasons, cooler in hot ones, and thus is nore congenial to plant growth at all -.imes. A LEGAL brushel of eats in Ma'ne, New Hlamnpshire anid Newv Jersey must weigh thirty pounds; In Canada, thiir ty-four pounds; in Oregon, thirty-six pounds; in Missouri, thirty-three pounds; In Iowa, Massachusetts, New York and most other States, thiirty-twoa -pounds.

'Ithy are often so slight ats to be of little moment, Init oceasion ally they are so severe acto require the most prompt and- energetic treatmn(t Whei a burm does not break the skin, It ts of little konseqitice, and should be treated like aif ordinary inlamma tioi. Keeping cold water upon the part tiii tih smarting ceases, and then the application. of glycerine, or, if this Is not ,tolerated, common lard rtubbed upon the burned surface, is all the treatment necessary. If blisters are formed, they should be pricked to let out the water, and. then a poultice of slippery ei bark and water, or a mixture of beeswax and 1ard melted together and spread upoi a cloth, may be applied with great comfort to the patient. But If the Injury is more ox tensivo, covering over a large surface, and especially it' the tis.'nes beneath tile skin are destroyed, the difficulty IS nacessarily distressing and often dan gerous. In such cases the nervous system may become alrected so that the patient will have severe cills, the pulse may be small, frequent and tee ble, the breathing become oppressed, there is a tendency to delirium, and death may occur as a result of the shock to the nervous system, In gen oral, if one limb Is entirely involved, or a greater part of the trunk, the prospect of recovery Is small. The treatment in the severest cases should be both constitutional and local, The Shock to the nervous system Is best re lieved by a prolonged hot full bath. The patient should be inmliersed in wn ter alt 100 degrees, save the Injured part, and the temperaturo of the wa ter should be increased until it cannot be tolerated any hotter. The bath should be continued until tile nervous prostratioil is relieved, or from thirty to forty minutes. If the burns are deep, a good application is a thick sol ution of gum arabic, which may be prepared i a few mintes by dissolv ing tile giin II hot water. Alter It is applied, it may be dusted over witlh dry powder, and so the tissues under neath will be completly protected. An other good remedy Is collodion and sweet oil, in tihe proportion of one )art of tile oil to two pmarts ol' collodion. This may be kept Il an air-tght bottle for any length of time, and may be ap plied by a camel's hair brush. It im mediately forms a firm covering to the exposed surfaces, and so takes the place of the destroyed cuttele. If these sub stances are not at hand, common dry flour may be elusted upon the Injured part to the depth of half an Inch or so. All liniments to '"draw out the fire" tire worse than useless, for there Is no lire to d'aw out. Itshould be borne Il mind that these, as wA'ell asall other in Juries, are healed by the action of the vital forces alone, and all that can be done from without is to protect tile ex posed surfaces from the irritating in l11011ce o' tle atmosphere, and to bal ance the gereral circulation, should it become disturlbed, People in general trust too muhel to external agencles, and too little to tile onily true source of healing, the vitality wI thiu. SEA WATER GARGLE IN CH RONIc CA 'rAnitu.-Profe-ssor Mosier of Griefs wald says, Iin the Berlin KlInische Wochienschtrift, that he has for soic years most Successfully treated pa tients with chronic catarrh of the tih roat by gargling with sea-water. Special rooms for gargling have been erected on the seshlore in some water ing places, accordling to his dIirectIOns. It is, however, essential that the p)a tlints should be given special diree tions how to gargle. As the aff'ectioni is generahlly located ini the naso-phar yngeal space, it is nece.nsarv that par't o1 tile wvater' shmouldi come in contact with tihe inasal cavity. In order to at tainl this. the gar'glinug movements must be combined with movements of degi uti tion. A marked inprovement in tile state of tne patient follows as soon) as thme latter has1 reqldired this 'particular art of gargling. ECONOMICAL FUEL.--Preparation: Mix coal, charcoal, or' sawdust, 0one part; sand, of' any kind, two parts; arl, or ('lay, one part, In qumantity as thought proper. Make the mass5 upl wet into balls of a convenient size and when tile fire is suffielently strong place these balls a~c( ording to Its size a little above tihe top bar, and they wvill produce a heat co'nsiierably more in tense than common fuel, and ensumre a saving of one-half th~e quantity of coals.

I found the gentlemen next to me, on the right, a well-informed persinage, and I entered into conver sation with him. I had never seen him before, but lie was a good talker and I eiijoyed it. Suddenly, Just as lie was giving me his views upon the future religious aspect of Great Britein, our ears were assailed by a deafening storm of applause. Such a clapping of hands I had ntver hearl before. It sent the blood to my 'head with a rush, and I got terribly excite&. I straightened up and commenced clapping my hands with all my might. I moved about ex citedly in 1m1y chair, and clapped hard er and harder. 'Who is it?' I asked the gentlemen on my right. 'Whose name did he read'?' "' Samuel L. Clemens,' lie answered. "I stopped applauiding. 1 didn't clap aimy more. I kind of took the life out of me, and I sat there like a mummy and didn't even get up and bow- It was one of the most distressing flxes I ever got into, and it will be many a day bofore i forget it.'' Plug up the Pipe. T1hie other night, about ten o'clock, a constable, who was walking up Maple St.., D~etroit, on business, was hailted by'- a weak looking little nmn who was a bit agitated. The officer suspected a family'row, but it didn't turn omut that way.

Sure enough, therc was two feet of water in the cellar andc more rushing in. "It is my humble -opinion," remarked the little man as the two looked through the cellar window, "that some thief has cut off thme 1)ip) aind the 'drain is stopped ump. Perhaps you dion't wan't to see this prop erty damaged." Tlhme constab~le didn't. .In Ils phihan thropy lie dleeided to open~ the drain and the little man having procured a candle, the oflicer waded in water up to his knees, poked( around for ten minutes with a stick, andic fInally opened the drain. "Now, -'then, It .is my humble opinion that we ought. to lug up1 the 1)11)," ob served the little man, and the oflcer drove a lug into it at the expense of a shower 1)ath which wet, him all over. "'A good job-a good job!" chuckled the citizen, "but, seeing that you are gestain to be (down) town in the morning it iemy hum ble opinion that you'dl better call at sthe Water Ollice and leave word to have the water shut off." The oflecer agreed. Next morning, as lie wvent past the ollice, a red rag round his neck and a cold hii hils head, lie left thme iessage and learned that the house belong edi to the little muan of humble opinlonal If the constable catches himn some (larkngh look ouit.nih ilgures Dlon' Lie.
