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

tionl. Site is as proud of 1:er priteely
ancestors as If thcy bore the protd

Since the loss of lils I Id Ian wife, A bra

much material. If crawflsh soup Is
too much a delicacy, tae humble b ..

kind adaptation to the tastes of common
humanity. It may be remarked, in

All that Is of value in it Is extracted

VT is notan easy thing to wash win
dows so that they will look clear and

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

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

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,

Iseases of the ear, states that vulcanite
lates produce results that are more g

Isease than any other worn. They
ave been in use for over twenty years,
id their adoption is very geneal. D
he constituents of these plates are ft
toutchoue, tho sulphur required li the
alcanizing process, and vermilion or ,
ke sulphide of mercury, used foA the v
ilor it imparts. The quantity of the *

om dentists elicit the fact that at
ast one-third of all those who attempt re

frequently accompanted by hyper
