Penlntnla Superstition.
A belief in the supernatural and in
the forecasting of ovcuts by nml slgnl
fication of signs anil oracna Is not, an is
gonerally supposed, restricted entirely
to the nogro raoo of the Maryland and
Delaware ponlnMiln, writes a Washing
ton correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times. Superstition la prevalent to a
considerable) degree among the whites,
and it is a curious fact that In many
families where wealth and intelligence
predominate, an implicit belief is placed
in eicns and tokens and what the v nor
tend. They are sinccro in this belief
and will cite numerous Instances where
a inystorous knock upon the door, tho
itartling rattling of a window sa'sh
when the air was calm nnd serene, or
tho dismal howling of a dog havo been
iouowcu oy "bad luck, to givo ap
parent strength to It.
Among the whito laboring classes
Buporsnuon holds their minds with o
wondcrfnl power. Anv stranno phC'
noraena in tho heavens, any abnormal
condition of the weather, or any un
usual commotion on land or sea, each
havo their own special significance, and
wnne moy au exercise an undue in
fiuence upon tho minds of these people
each ono lormulatcs his or ber own
opinion, and draw tholr own personal
conclusions as to tho probable scquenco
of these signs. A lady, vencrablo in
yoars, prominent in society, living in
aflluence, and residing in a Maryland
town, onct dismissed a most dear and
intimate acquaintance vith a scvoro
reprimand for trenching upon her Ideas
with" regard to this belief. Tho subjcot
of superstition was under discussion
and a largo circle of friends woro prcs
cnt. This lady friend was ridiculing
such beliet as preposterous and lgnor
ant, and it was commented upon ad'
versely by several othor members of the
company. IJut tbe hostess was in'
vulnerable to their attacks and humor
Otis, pans, and good-naturedly rebnttcd
them by several incidents whioh oc
curred which wero in fresh recollection
bv all nrcsent. nml inr.uli'ntnllv mention
cd her horror of a person looking over
her shoulder whilo sho was standing
before a looking-glass. Tho evening
wore on, and when the company was
about to disperse the hostess aroso to
arrango her hair before a small toilet
looking-glass. Her friend came up be
hind her suddenly and peered over her
shoulder. A remarkable tableau en
sued. With blanohed features tho
hostess threw up her bands, and with
a wild shriek fell swooning to tho floor.
Tho proper restoratives were resorted
to, and when sho recovered conscious
ness sho aroso to her feet, nervous and
timorous. Pointing her finger ac her
heretofore bosom friond, sho said in a
firm, determined voice :
"Wo are frionds no more, Go I"
Expostulations were utterly useless
sho would listen to no explanation, and
with a wounded heart and ber face
bathed in tears, tho lady took her de
parture. This occurred twenty jears
ago.- They have never oxahanged
words since. By a strong coinciaence
of circumstance? a month or so after
ward intelligence of the death of the
only brothor of the hostess, who was in
India, was received.
On' the first day of tho new year tho
negro is debarred tho privilege ot en
tering a white person's house, as their
presence is regarded as an omen of bad
luck throughout the entire year. Woe
be to -any -person with a black skin who
crosses tbe threshold of a whito man's
honao on tho first day of the new year.
A negro man camo near paying the
penally of his forgetfulness in this re
spect with his life. Ho started in the
gate of a house and was advancing to
ward the door, when ho was confront
ed by the resolute and angry occupant
who stood ready to receive him with
a wood-ax. The frightened negro end
denly collected his senses, and, reraem
bering the day, turned to flee. As he
did so the ax was hurled after him, and
went whizzing over his head, tho
helve knocking off his hat.
There is to-day living in lower Deta
ware an old gentleman, onco conspicu
ous in publio life, who constantly keeps
Ins gun charged with old-tasluonci
silver 3-cent pieces, who has an im
pliciti beliet in their virtue to destroy
tho power ot negro conjurers when
fired at them. Thero are Beveral more
who keep their revolvers loaded with
the same metal for tho same purpose'
Why tho annihilating qualities of sil
ver are more superior to lead or gold
they are unable to explain. Yet thoy
are profoundly sincero in their belief
that a volley of the jingling metal fired
at, not into the body of a conjurer, will
dissolve his mysterious power, and pre
vent him from committing harm.
Superstition in the negro is proverb
ial. Wo can CLsily understand that
tho root from which springs his absurd
ideas is ignorance But why it should
hold men and women of brilliant minds
and of high social distinction In its
grasp is a psychological question we
can not answer.
In some parts of Maryland the
people will not havo the house k ek, a
small green plant bearing a pink flow
cr, upon their premises. This plant
blooms, according to their theory, but
onco in seven years, and should one of
them be in or near tho house at the
I'ine. of blooming, when tho tiny bud
begins to develop someone will bo tak
en sick, and as it continues to expand
they will grow worse, and when it ha
bloomed into tho perfect flowor thoy
will die.
Another superstition characteristic
of this ostracised plant is that so long
as anyone can les a leaf about with
them adversity will be close at their
heels.
There are countless numbers of signs
and omens of ill-luck, sickness, death
disappointment, cto , that makes a curi
ous and interesting category. The
howling of a dog is a sure sign of death,
and when throwing your shoes on the
floor, should thoy turn upside down,
tho grim spectre will claim some mem
ber of tho family ere tho year has pass
ed. Tbo dropping tbe dish-rag foro
tcllstho coming of a stranger ; to meet
a funeral on tho street is an ill omen,
and many will go squares out of their
way to avoid meeting an approaching
conego ; to go out ot tbe house and tor
getting some simple article, havo to ro
turn tor it presages disappointment
and yon must sit down and cross you
legs if you would dissolve the spell and
bo successful in your errand, These
and many other equally absurd notions
aro prevalent among the people ot tin
lower peninsula, aud it seems as though
the advancing elements of enlightened
civilization and intelligence will never
be ablo to ddtroy them.
An unknown exchango pays this
tribute to Winter:
"It snows and blows ana stings your nose-makes
all creation kbl ver.
It bites your toes, Increases your woes, and
frmes up trie rlrer.
Tbe frost nips all,both great and bmall.thls dismal,
dreary Winter;
Freezes type, bursts water pipes, and vexes aoro
tbe printer.
So let. br roll we mom the coal-It takes tbo
cash In winter;
And now please be Und and mato up your mind
to nettle with tno printer."
ADOBNMENT OF FARMER'S DOMES.
an xssay nv tviNTiinoi hhyiooi.k at
VAKMKUS INSTITUTE ON KIM
HAT JAN. 10, 1838.
This woik bolongs to Horticulture
and why should not Horticulture aud
Agrlculturo go hand in hand. Aim-
oulltuo is to us" as a foundation is to a
uouso whllo Horticulture is to lis as
its dcooratlons. Man was placed in
tho Garden of Eden nnd to him wss
given tho carlh as bis domain to keep
ami make it beautiful, Tho adornme'it
of our homes is a subject that is sadly
neglected by tno agricultural cias.
rho majority ot Ibis class of people
aro vety negligent in tho ndornment of
their homes nnd tho beautifying of
their properties. Our homes should bo
ornaments to tho beautiful hills and
valleys whioh Qod has provided so
abundantly with works of nature; but
instead in' most agricultural districts
our homes aro as a soro placo in tho
face of nature thus obstructing tho pro
gress of horticulture Wo should ro
novato tbeso homes and mako thorn
correspond with these beautiful works
of nature. What would be moie
nloasititr to tbo eve. what scenerv could
be more grand than a rido through a
beautiful valley in summer and see the
farmers' homos adorned and beautified.
It makes our homes pleasant and obcer
ful and not only that if you want to
disposo of your properly it will bring a
belter price.
It is a true saying that a farmer
Bhonld bo judged by his buildings aud
its surroundings, for instanco imagine
a beautiful dwelling with correspond
ing out buildings wbilo tbo surround
ing aro grown up with tall grais and
weeds, tbo farm implements lying in
every direction, wagon sheds used for
roosting places, piles of lumber and
rubbish soattered around making it
difficult to reach tho bouse; now take
these same buildings, clean tho yards,
put farm implements in sheds to save
unnecessary repairs and havo a place
tor overything and in its placo. Uora
pare tho two. Will you not eay at
onco the lattor is the farmer.
Order is heavens first law and let
this bo our law. Around tho farm as
well as in the house. Why should not
horticulture be studied enough to dec
orate our yards as well as agriculture
in order to make farming a succors.
It is easily understood. Tis truo it is
work without financial return, but
thero is enough beauty in it to pay
you for the time spent. Every farmer
or somo member oi jtlie family can
spend from four to five hours -of each
week for tho trimming and cleaning
of his yard and I am sure the result
will bo highly appreciated. Sinco lawn
imwera havo oomo into existence the
keeping ot our vards and lawns is so
simple that no farmers homo is com
plete without tne any rooro than t
farmer could do without a reaper.
Thero is no excuse for allowing grass
to grow tall in our yards any more
than to have cobwebs taking possess
ion of our rooms in our dwellings. We
occasionally see some queer individ
nals even now who remembers that his
grandfather allowed grass to crow tall
for food for his cattle and so he keeps
on in the same old rut thinking it
would almost be wicked to change the
routine while in the house he may have
costly furniture where none but the
family admiro. "Would it not be bet
ter to do wtihout the hay, cut from the
yards, and make the outside correspond
with the inside thereby tempting the
passer by to admiro our homes.
It is gratifying to know that people
aro becoming more enlightened in that
direction. There aro many ways to
make a perfect lawn but I will attempt
to describe tho one that takes the least
labor and most inexpensive. Wo will
tako a yard where every thing is grown
up with weeds, dock and planting as
farmers yards generally are, also full of
stones, tin cans nnd hollows. Givo it
a thorough cleaning, mow it with
common grass soy the, fill up the holes
and mako the surface level. After this
it should be raked off so that tbo sur
face will bo smooth and all stones re
moved for the action of the mower.
If it be a small yard and whore sod can
be obtained it wonld-be best to sod it
but before doing this tho ground
should be beaten down particularly
where it has been fided in so that there
may be no danger of settling to form
hollow places. The sods Bhonld be
cut the samo thickness. When laying
placo edges neatly together and beat it
down. If it is dry weather at the time
of laying, the new lain sods should be
drenched with water for a week or so.
If the yard is too large to be sodded
and too much expenso to dig it up givo
it a good c.oat of well rotted manure,
sow it with a mixture of lawn grass
ced and whito olover twice in tho
summer. Mow it every week to keep.
tbo weeds trom growing and to pro
tect tho grass as it grows. Many peo
pie through ignorance or short sighted
economy use the hay seeds taken from
the hay mow If from good hay tbe
eed principally will bo timothy and
red clover. All attempts to get a
smooth lawn from such a source would
bo vain. During the winter a lawn
should bo covered with well rotted
manure. In tho spring rako it off,
role it with a roller so that the surface
will bo smooth for the mower. If tho
ground is rolling terraces could be
made which would add to the beauty
of the lawn.
Now this yard with its beautiful
carpet of green is an ornament to a
home without anything else, but this
vard can be laid out with flower bods
of different designs acoording to the
linancial standing of tbo owner. All
yards should havo a direct walk from
the gate to the tiouse. This
walk should bo kept clean and freo from
gras. The edges should bo trimmed
once a month with an edging tool
which will keep the sides of the path
straight. Walks around tbe honse
may have curves and nngles to suit
tho tasto of tho owner. 'Tis not con
venient for us all to own conservator
ies nor is it possible at all times for us
to buy Uowers and now the ques
tion how can wo get flowers to adorn
our yardsr nearly every lady ot a
homo has plonly ot tlowors in her win
(lows. She can tak cuttings from theno
plants and thereby grow enough to fill
a nlco flower bed to put through the
yard or along tho walks. Take
common plate or saucer, put sand in
it to the dopth of an inch or so, place
tho cuttings in cloeo enough to touch
eaoh other, then water tho sand till it
is of tho consistency of mud. Placo
on the window sill of tbe sitting room
where it will be fully exposed to tbe
sun but never shaded. Ono thing
must bo kept In mind, never allow
them to become dry; because exposed
to the sun as they are, they will wilt
verv easilv and all would then bo lost.
By this method you can grow nearly
all plants that grow from cuttings and
they will bo more healthy than those
that aro forced in greenhouses. Be
sure your cuttings aro takeu from
healthy plants. If you have no flow
era from whioh to tret outlines, vou
can grow annuals, plants which grow
from seeds, such ss inlcuonctte, sweet
alyssum, asters, dummonds, phlox,
sweet Williams, Ao. These may bo
sown separately or two or tl.rco kinds
may bo sown In rows as cany in spring
as tho ground oan bo worked. Each
lady should got a catalogno contttnlng
a list of annuals seeds, it costs nothing
simply the trouble of sending for them.
From theso catalogues selections can
bo made to form beautiful beds witli
llttlo cost.
Where thero is a will there is a way
and I am sure if wq coonomizo in oth
or directions a little, wo will bo able to
purcbaso a few things for tho dcoora
tion of our yards. Yards may bo de
corated with evergreens suoh as Nor
way spruoi', arbor vitae, Irish junipor,
cetlar, &o, planted through tho lawm
If you canuot afford to buy trees, go to
tho woods and select trees of good
shapo of cedar or bemlook, Plant
them and trim them in mound shape
whioh will mako them very thick and
very pretty. Shrubbery of all kinds
kept well trimmed will also add to the
decoration of our yards; This is a
slmplo way of beautifying our farm
yards with liltlo expense
As tho farmer of to-day docs not
mako ten per cent, wo do not caro
about spending much for ornamental
plants or shrubbery but there is no ex
cuse for not adorning in a slmplo way
and I sincerely hope that tho day will
come when the farmer will take as
much pride in adorning' bis home as ho
tries to mako farming a success.

EXPERIMENTS IN rSTCIIOLOOY.
Chicago, Fob. 5. There is said to
bo a young woman now lving in a
trance at Alamo, Mich., from whioh
oniy one man, wnoso wnereaoonts aro
unknown, oan release her. According
to the story, the peoplo of Alamo havo
boon amusing themselves with mosmer
ism this winter, and several persons
havo beoome quito profioiont in tho art.
Among them was a young man, named
Dwight T. Holmes, who seemed to bo
more successful than any of the others.
On,lho evening of Jan. 0 Holmes and
another young man wero at tho house
of A. J. Rood, when Miss Kitty Rood
and another young woman wero there.
Mesruprisin was experimented with and
Holmes succeeded in influencing Mies
Rood so effectually that sho fell into
a faint on tbo floor. All efforts' to re
vive ber failed, and convinced that be
had killed her, Holmes pledged the
others to secretly aud fled.
A doctor pronounced tbe young lady
dead, and ber funeral occurred Jan. 13.
The body had been lowered into the
grave, when tho young woman who
had been present at tho mfsmerism
went into hysterics. vVhen she revive d
she told about Holme's experiment.
Tho people rushed to the cemetery ana
found the sexton iust beginning to
throw the clods upon tho coffin. The
casket was opened ana doctors were
summoned. They finally concluded
- 1 1 ' . , I . I

awakened from her trance. Various
doctors experimented upon ner ana
mesmprists tried to restore her, but
without avail. The mesmerists then I
declared that only tho person who put I
her into the tranoe could bring her out
of it. Efforts aro now being made to
find Holmes, who'has not been beard
of since tbe night of bis exploit.
Yesterday Detective Mabaffy, ac
companied by Mr. Rood, camo to
Chicago in search of Holmes, who they
had reason to believe was in hiding
here.
Hallway Mileage of the World-
Europe has 121,205 miles of railroad
and America has 155.757 miles: Aia,
18,761; Africa, 4,285, and Australia
9,045. Thus tho total of tho world is
303,093 miles. These figures show
that America popsesses more miles1 of

The Protest Against Free Lumber.
Tho West Branch LumberExchango
net at tho Exchange Building in
Williamsport, Pa., on tho 3rd inst., to
consider the qui stion of repealing thf
duty n Canadian lumber. Tho rco
utions unanimously adopted "ptotest
against any change in the pre.oi t tnr-
u in relation to lumber that will add
to our already overburdened industry."
Tho reasons given lor maintaining
he present tariff on lumber are first.
that tho difTerenci' between the liibot
cost of production in tMs countty and
in Canada is greattr than the present
intv of S2 tier 1,'00 feet: second, that
the wages of labor here aro double tin
wages paid in Canada; third, that there
is nothing in tho appeal for the pro
ection ot forests, as tanners are denud
ing our hemloek forests for the bark
alone; fourth, that everything the lum
ber trade uses, such as saws, axt b.
hains and iron of all kinds, are highly
protected and cost'y to tho lumber in
erest; bllh, that a large supply ot
Canadian lumber is in stock watting foi
trco Irado to flood our markets; aud,
sixth; that tho lumber fields of the
South greatly need protection.
Ueneral Hancock truly said thai tno
tnnif'is a local issuo. The lumber pro
ducer wants protection against free
lumber; tho coal and iron regions want
protection against free coal; tho salt
producing regions want protection
against frre salt; South Carolina ami
Georgia want prottctiun against fit
riee; Louisiana wants protection against
freo sugar; Kentucky and Missouri
want protection against freo hemp, and
so on to tho end. How are theso con
