Abraham oohnson. Just beyond the Moosio Mountains, a few miles northeast of Scranton, Pa., In the frimitive village of Salem, there lives a 9entenarian whose history roads like a page plucked from one of the Leather-stooking romances. Abra ham Johnson Is now 100 years old hale, hearty, unimpaired in intelleot, and gifted with a remarkable memory. His family rocord shows that he was born in the State of Vermont, early in the year 1772, near Lake Champlain. His father was a Revolutionary soldier and was killed at the battle of Still water, a short time before Burgoyno's surrender, Oct. 13, 1777. Abraham Johnson was Captain of a Company of Oneida Ind ans in 1814, under General Macomb, who commanded at Plattsburg during the absence of General Izard. He reers with great pride to the battle of Plattsburg, and shows two wounds which he received on that occailon. One of them is a bayonet thrust below the knee, the other Is a sword out on the neck. le says that after lie was struck dow4h by a gigantic "Red Coat," another thrust a bayonet through his leg to ascertain if he was dead. lie says he bore the punishment rather than suffer the indignity of being taken prisoner, and was accordingly left for dead. The Ilndians carried their bleed ing and battle-scarred coimander to their village, where lie was ittrsed and cared for by Oneida, the beautiful daughter of an Indian chilef, whose gentle care restored him to health and strength. But while sie hetled his bloody wounds, sho inflicted one still deeper on the warrior's heiart and Ito fell desperately in love with her. She eventually returned ils affection and they were married after peae had been restored between the United Sta es and Great Britain. They niate their home in Sussex county, Now Jersey, where tho dark eyed daiughter of the foresi taught her soldier-Iusband how to earn a livelihood by baskot-maki ng. A daughter was born to them, and they named her Martha. She is at present known as Mrs. Ellsworhi, and I ives I t Madison township, Laukawanna coutin ty, Pa. As years went by, Abr!thamit Johnson's Indian wife began to pine for her old home and the rude :.ssoula tions of her childhood. She gradually failed in health, and, finally, in re sponse to her repeated longings for her people, her husbilnd carried her back to the Oneidas, where sho died, ini was buried as became the daughter of an Ir'lian Chief. Little Martha foumd a home and shelter for a t.ime with ai unle in Sussex coun(y, but when sie grew up she Joined fhie onvilda in1dian.s. and lived among het moitiher's kindred, where she married a man by the unro mantle 1)11110 of' Brown. After hlis death she tmarried Ellsworth, Iter pres ent husban ', and returned to civiliza tionl.

DOMESTIC. WATER AND FRUtT IcXs.-A n innova t tion lately adopted in okolce circles for the heated weather is to serve water and fruit ices as the opening course be fore soup. Before you protest --gan.st this as a violation to which your ex cellent taste could never be reconciled, madame, please to observe tNat the ices are the pure juice of acid fruits, pint apple, gooseberry, white currant, rasp berry or lomons, frozen, with very lit tie sugar. Slowly sipped It is refresh ing to the a-t degree. It satistles the craving for acids, and gives ices to the stomach, when it Is best prepared to benefit by it, instead of bringing them After a full ineal to reduce theenergies 6f digestion. Following these, the proper thing for a Summer day is crawflsa or lobster soup, or one of tlie many other relishing shell-fish soups for which our markets have so much material. If crawflsh soup Is too much a delicacy, tae humble b .. excellent elam Is ever at our doors, and as good as it is cheap, whiuh shows a kind adaptation to the tastes of common humanity. It may be remarked, in parenthesis, that all we want of the chaIn Is its Juice, flavored with shreds of browned onlos, in,soup or chowder. All that Is of value in it Is extracted by a few minutes boiling, and what is left of him is so much India rubber, lit only to be strained out and thrown away.

VT is notan easy thing to wash win dows so that they will look clear and well polished, and, If soap-suds are used, it Is quite impossible to do it. The old-fashioned wity of taking out all the windows, and washing them In soap-suds, and setting them aside to d - y, after the suds have been rinsed off, is, to be sure, the easiest way of cleaning them, but it also is the worst way to make them look clear and bright. lr-t brush then off well with a sponge or brush that comes for the pur)ose, dmi then wrap a bit of cloth about a sharp-pointed stiek, and wipe out the dust that adheres to the corners then take some weak tea, boiling hot, and add to it. a table-spoonful of alcohol and a few drops of aqua ammonia, or a bit of carbonate of amimoni,a the size of an English walnut.

ROTATION OF CRos.-The fact haj long been known that it is not best t grow the same kind of crop on the sam [and for a number of years in succes, slon. Tfns, the yield of corn, wheat oats, tobacco, or other crops, if grown ot the saine land without change wil gradually diminish, while if tl'ese oropi e made to alternate, that is, first ont then another, the aggregate produc will be much greater. ihls change li called rotation of crops. The advan. tages of rotation, or change of crops, result from the following considera tions: In the first place, differentoropi require elements iI difterent propor tions; one requires more potash thaii another, or lime, or phoiphorte acid, or nitrogen, or some other constituent, P"otiatoes require more potash thai wheat or corn, while these require anorE phosphoric acid; clover and tobacc need a great deal of lime, and so with other crops. A number of crops of potaitoes in succession,. without the addition of potash in some form, will use up the available supply, un less the quantity be very large. Before t is comes to pass, another crop that re qulrs less of potash but more of some other element mi: hit grow well, while the potatoes would not flourish. In the second place, rotation ofe rops gives thne for thedisintegrating action of the atinosphere, rain and frost to prepare new mnaterial from the rock partioles in the soil, and get It In a form to be used by the plant. One crop may use tip the available food of a partictilar kind faster than it can be prepared by those natural ageneies. Il the tilird placp, rotation, or change of crop, when properly man agel, enables one plant to prepare food for another. Thus clover sends long nap-roots deep down IlIto the soil, and brings up food to the surface. When fite roots detcay, the whCat-plant that has surface-roots mainly call use the fool prepared by the clover. In the fourti plae different crops require di111erent. modes of etltivation, so that Clho physical properties of the soil are improved by rotation. Grass lands iII a fosv years become hard and require to be looiened upI), whici call be done by the cultivation of a crop of cori, followed by one of wheat. and the re sowinz of gi ass. Not only is a ohange of erops desirable, but an occasional change of seed Is found to be a' great benitit. Wheat grown oil stiff clay lian"ds for s01110 Years will be improved by getting seed from that; grown on sand.V sol1, and that oin saintly soil by obtallinig wheat grown On stiff clay. A nI occasional eliuage of seed from one lilitide to another is also found to be beiefliolial. Crop)s thit re(uire the same elelaltIl n II about tile Samtile proportions should not follow each other, nor those that are Aimiliar inl their modo of growth. Wheat 1111d corn whilh de pond mainly on surface-roots will do well a er clover, cotton, or tobacco, whileh have long tap-roots that extend downi inito te sub-soil. The greater the ii-lerence in the constitution and claracter of t wo crops, the more likely are they suited to follow eaich other. Clilate aidt soil have muchioll to do in de terining the best rotation. A good reLation for three years is: First year, corn ; secold yar. wheat; third year. clover A good four years' rotation is to III low t he clover to rem1ain two years. In iKigiaid, where corn is not raised, a1 1op111ar f0tlour years' rotation is: First year, turnips or otier root crop % sec 01Rn year, barley; third year clover; foiurth year, wheat. A six years' rotau tion: clover, wheat (tWo years), lover, coral, wheat,.
