The Sent ry of the World.
A special correspondent says-desiring tc
get the oilnion of that celebrated amateut
aatttiomer, Mr. Samuel Longhorne Clement
on the new comet, I visited his house thit
morning just before daybreak. fis pasa:
stonate fondness for observing celestial plie.
noinena Is well known. I was confideni
that I should find him at his telercope it
the turret that caps the northeast corner 01
his extraordinary mansion. A few dlr(cteot
pebbles ' brought him to the window.
"llelloi" taid he. "Come up but don't
wake the baby. Mind the sixth stair or
the s(cond flight; it creak; a hades of v
falsetto." So saying, lie lot down lils doo
key at tho end ot s string.
When I reached the turiet my friend wai
no loqger inside. i1e was sitting in an
open Fcultic leading to the roof, smoking 1
cigar. With both hands he grasped a long
pole. When it grew light I pIe ceived that
It was a boat-hook. ils face had a iaggard
look, and his long legs hung listlessly
through the Fcattleway "You loolk tired,
blark" said I. '-Have you bheen at it all
night?"
"All night?" said he, with it groan that
consisted of a vowel and two consonant
sounds. "All night?" This nakes the fourth
consecutive night that I haven't closed
half an eye. It's wearing on me. This
constant responshibi li'y is undermisnig my
constitution. ly senses of (Ilt is as strong
as the next man's but sometimes I feel like
letting go my grip, e'ven if the condemned
planet slides into the revised version of
brimstone. All night? Good night! Some
other night!"
There was a degree of exasperation in
his tone which the circuiistanices did not
seem to warrant. . "Well," said 1, ''there's
no occasion for anger. Nobody compels
you to sit up here in the malarious morning
atmosphere and early dew."
le looked for a minute as if he was
going to broak out with a toirent of objur
gation. Then lie miatetsed his wrath and
gazed down upon ime with an expression of
melancholy pity.
"TIhe tail of that cniet, " said he, sadly
waving the end of his pole toward the nor
thern sky, "'as, according tomy calculations,
a trifle over forty-two million miles long;
yet it wouldn't reach more thani a quarter
way through the skulls of sonie pecple that
I know. The reckless ignorance of man
kind amazes me more indiimore the older I
grow. Why don't I go to bed? Yes it
would be a perfectly easy land naturally
thing to go to bed, wouldn't it, now I Per
haps I had better go to bed." -And lie
laughed deri'lvely.
" Walit in the name of coimnion sense are
you driving at Clemens ? " I demanded.
" Oh, nothing at all," he replied, with a
sardonic wave of his pole. "Nothing cx

goes on below, and the ii.ulittide pursues
its wonted avocatio :s precisely as though a

one solitary watcher sits up here in his
lonely tower, braving danger and incurring
great fatigue for the rake of his infatuated
fellow beings. There have been exaniples
of such devotion to duty in hktory, but
they are rare, and it has always been left to
posterity to recoqnize them. At the present
moment I fill tie post of lookot to the
planet, young 11man. loul will find set
down in the (Censis the exact number of fel
low citizens whose exIstence depends upon
my vigilance. Thait's all 'm driving ai "
I saw now pretty well low things were
with any I riend. So, to humor him, 1
gravely remarked :"I always knew your

AGRIOULTURE.
Eous vs. MEAT. - Would it not be wise
to substitute4nore' eggs for meet in our
daily diet I About one-third of the weight
of an egg is solid nutriment. This ia more
than (an be said of meat. There are no
bones.. no tough pieces that have to be laid
aside. A good egg Is made up of ten parts
shell, eight parts white and thirty parts
yolk. Tie white of an egg contains sixty
six per cent water, the yolk fifty-two per
cent. Practically an egg is animal food, and
yet there is n. no of the disagreeable work
of the butcher necessary to obtain it. The
vegetarians of England use eggs freely,
and many of these men are eighty and
ninety years old, and have been remark
ably free from .iess. Ergs are best when
cooked four minutes. This takes away the
animal taste that is offensive to some, but
dots not harden the white or yolk so as to
make I hem hard to digest. Au egg if cooked
very hard Is difiloult of digestion except by
those of stout stomachs; such eggs should
be eaten with bread and masticated very
fluely. An egg spread on toast is food fit
for a king, if kings deserve any better food
than any body else, which is doubtful.
Frierd eggs are less wholesome than boiled
ones. An egg droped into hot water is not
only clean and handsome, but a delicious
morsel. Most, people spoil the taste of their
eggs by adding pepper and salt. A little
sweet butter is the best dressing. Eggs con
tain much phosphorus, which is supposed
to be useful t those who use their brains
much.
PUT C.oviRm ON YO'R LAND. - An Ohio
i)a)er say that by clovering hundreds of
farms that were about woithless have been
resctied fron dilapidation and ruin. It Is
an accepted truism that as long as "clover
will catch," the farm can soon be restored
to pIaying fertility, and by agcod rotation is
evea getting more productive and profitable;
for atter some years of such treat mont the
land will bear harder farming; that is, two
or three crops may succeed a good coat of
clover before lying down to clover again.
Rough new land should be subdued by
the use of new clover. Nothing so ef
fectually roots out stumps and kills weeds
and sprouts, and prepairs the land for the
plow and good paying crops. Wild new
land should always have it sown on the
first grain crop down. It sa res a vast
amount of labor, for in a few years i1 so
tames the ground and clears it of enemies
to the plow that it works like, old ground,
and is good for full crops. One great error
is often fallen into, a-id that is following
the o'. tradition that a bushel of clover
seed will do for eight acres. That may have
beeni enoIglh to cover land partially when
it wi.s new, but whoever aims at getting
up his land in a speedy and profitable way
should sow a bushel on four acres, so that
his laud may be thoroughly shaded.

corn is likely at no distant day to revo

A process has been discovered by which I
the flnest and most delicious flour can be
inade fron the seed to the extent of one
half its weight, and leave the other half a
valuable food for making beef and milk. t
iie average yield per acre is three hun
dred bushels, and in many instances five
hundred bushels, or thirtythousand pounds,
have been secure(. Nor does it exhaust
tihe soil as Indian corn, from the fact that
it feeds from the (deeper soil, and assimii

W -:-r llk:(-rs. - We give the following<
advice to farmners, wholi next to fishermeni, 1
are apt to get their boots wet through:
WVhen the b)oots are taken ofT, liii them'
(quite- fli with dIry oats. This grain hmas a
great fr aldness for (lamp, anzd raildly aib

in tabut a tarredl rope maintains a'
high avierage of tenacity nmuch longer thani
aimnunturredl one, by re-ison of the protec.
tioii the tar affords againist atmospheric
and (Iber causes of deterioration. The
quantity of tar found most suitable is about I
l5 per cent. rf tha~ weight of tihe rope.

Th'iis loduices a large growth of roota close
Io-thec trees, for roots grow where the soil
is richest. Oichards need lime and ashesI
more than muaniure, and thiese soon produce
healthy, smooth bark.
P~osition and distlance. -That persons
haivig thec use of one ey e~only can estimate
distmuicc nearly as wvell as t host liavitig two
eyes, is a wvell known fact. Where a per
son has lost the sight of one eye, the power
of judlging by the other has to be acquired.
Two things, says Professor Hlehnholtz,
have~ here to be taken into account-fhust,
the apeaance of the objects in relation to
other hbjets ; amid secondly, the paralhax
of muotion. The outlines of the more (di8
tant, (ajects are always covered by those of
the neanrer onies where they cross, and
hence the ddlhculty of recognizing that the
image projectedl by a convex lens or a con
cave imor is nearer to the observer than
time lens or the mirror. Further: the oh
jedt projecting a shiadow on any surface
alIways lies before that surface. These t wo
things make ump the appearance of the ob,
jeets, anmd they are rarely overpowered by
others ; for example, stereoscapic combina
tiomis, as is demonstrated by Dove's pretudo
scope, composed of t wo rectangular prisms,
andei howing to each eye a reflected Image
inivertedI from right to left. Tihe parallax
of nautioni is seen as a shifting of the ob.
ject, especially if it is near, and mioving
tihe hieadt from sideO to sidle, or up or down.
'Tlis elemient also overpowers the stero
5scop)c e >mubumat ion of the image of the two
eyes.

R~ccent investigations have shown the
incorm c. ness of the pretty stories of insect

given. Inisets are. often catught by the
sticky . exudations of certain plants, or
otherwise, but no evidence caii be found to
show that the plants digest or eat the in

13E TEA FOR CamLREN. -The best way

Soup meat without bone, from the skin or
he neck. Cut the meat into dice with a
rery sharp knife ; to every pound of meat
iso one pint of cold water. Cut up the
neat on a dish, not on a board, as the lat

HUMOBOU,
THERE was a social gatherlat at a fash
ionable residence on Austin avenue. They
were talking about Carlyle and other great
inen'. One gentleman remarked that Oar
lyle had done a great deal to intluence'his
age.
"Did he lye his hair?" asked Gus Do
Smith who was present.
"Why do you ask."
"Well, that's the way some of the old
men In Austin influence their age," res
ponded the unsuapecting Gus, who didn't
mean anything. Three elderly gentlemen
got up to leave, and did leave, notwith
standing Gus explained that present com
pany was excepted, and that he never sus
pected them of Influencing their age.
Tua gentleman who Is taking the school
census called at a house on Austin avenue,
and was met at the door by the lady of the
house, who asked him what be wanted.
He said he was going. around taking the
school census. "What's that I Some booK
you want to sell I" she asked. "1 am as.
certaining the number of children old
enough to go to pchool that people have,"
replied the man with the book and pencil.
"Well, you want to go away right oft.
You are thumping the wrong watermelon.
You are whistling after the wrong dog, you
be. We don't belong to the people at all.
We belong to the upper class. My husband
is an office holder." He went.
No Hospital Needed.
No palatial hospital needed for Hop Bit
ters patients. nor large salaried talented
puffers to tell what Hop Bitters will do or
cure, as they tell their own story by their
certain and absolute cures at home.
"DocTon, what can I do to get rid 6f
my biliousness?" asked an inebriate of a
plain-spoken doctor.
"Quit drinking beer and whisky.
"But If I quit I'll collapse right off,
won't I?'
"Certainly."
"It don't seem to me that it makes much
difference, then. If I keep on I'll be bil
ious us long as I live, and if I quit i'll be
bilious until I die. If that Isn't a bilious
outlook, I'll give it up."
SAFE AND RELIALE.-There is no dis
ease of the human system for which the
VEGETrNE cannot be used with perfect
safety, as It does not contain any metallic
compound.
REv. Dr. Howard Crosby says that the
old versioh of the New Testament has some
"little insidious absolescences," running
all through it. We had noticed tben, but
said nothing about It, taking It for granted
that the revisers would se e them and mash
them on their theological thumb nails.
