Without it clvilia tloo would be at a "-tandatill, and the atone hummers Mini the tliut arrow heads ujruiu be the needed implements and weajMina of the race. It is the n.etalnioJionary that mak?a civilization practicable. Yet it is more probaly that Id the near coming time iron will be displaced. This king and and servaut that controls and yet serves will have to abdicate to a new, potent and more capable ruler. The metal of the time to be is "aluminum." Iron, aa strong as it is, is fatal in its weakness. i mobture gnaws its surface with de- fun .t 'wn rrr.in r i und. t. wt. i-mn no km tructtve rust ; the hammering that I J.; lentMhena ita crvsta) into fibers md , o changes it from cast to the toughness of wrought if the vibrations and pound ing be contiuned, as iu the axles of rail road wheels jars it back to weak crys tals again. The sun streatchea it and the col J shrinks it. Excellent aa iron is it is very fatliable, and the broken rail and snapping bridge girder makes It a Moloch satisfied only with the sacrifice of human life. A new metal, however, baa quietly, modestly and almost without recogni tion made its advent. Hidden away in every bed of clay and in every block of seemingly worthless and friable rocky slate this new-fonnd and wonderful metal can be found. Like Bethlehem's star, it proclaims the possibilities of oew civilization. Aluminum is very plebeian in its affinltes. It bas never yet been found alone. Dirt and rock every rock, in fact, except limestone I are its holder and companion. When Franklin was curious to learn by experiment if ihe lightning was of the same force as that of the crude elec tric machine he little dreamed that the tiny wire twisted in the string of his kite was to be the parent of the tele graph and cable that over the land and ( under the sea would, like Shakespear's j Tuck, in forty minutes put a girlie round the earth ; that with a cobweb of wire the human voice would bridge apace, our streets be lighted with the little nerves of electricity, and our homes galddened with its globules of daj!ight. So when some forgotten chemist, found in the dull dirt this new metal Le discovered a contiueut of possibilities whose let.gth and bredth Le never knew. It was next to silver in luster. liust will not assail fc or gases attack.

It Is ou.y within i half century that the existence of this metal las been sur- j mtsed ; only within thirty years has it been definitely known, and only within a few years that it has been utilized. At first a shy and hardly conquerable product of the labratoiy, recent and newer methods have lowered the cost of Its production from $3:2 '.o $13 per pound. It only needs some fortunate j and skillful alctemist to coax alumin- J nm .conooiically from its hnmble uso- , ciate. the common clay, to revolution- Ire the world A Virginia Proliant .eventy-flTe Years Ago. Here is what Thomas Jeffeisoa wrote of Eastern Virginia where our soldiers durlLg the late war found mud and reb els to be the only indiijeous crop. Un der the date of November 9-,h, 1S13. Mr. Jefferson writes: "From the fork of James River and the falls of other rivers , upward and westerly, we have had the j xuoet calamitous year since 1773. After , keeping my tlour till the approach of , the new harvest. I was obliged to sell it, j lest It would spoil on my hands, at t price which netted me only 47 cents a bushel for my wheat, of course a total sacrifice.

I bHii heard much ot the wot.derfui turdical ike, sixteen miles west of here, and bo drove out to pe it among the clouds of dust, gusta of wicd, and tiroil mg u:i alternately. This trip out and back was pleasant, however, a con stant change of scenery ard succession of surprises. M e found there were three lakes in stead of one, all the same water, said to contain "life's elixir," a cure for human ailments. No doubt there are valuable properties in the water, as attested by the analysis and the numerous testi mony of those relieved by its use. "We were prepared for a butt, but time and inclination both forbade ; time because of the inclination, from the presence of certain dead reptiles in the water to be seen a thing, as the attendant said, "never before known." I said reptiles ; these were at tte bot tom of the lake, which seemed half lizard, half fisi, with the Cos of a fish ; the arms of a lizard, the body of neither, with the Cos of the tail horizontal, in stead of perpendiculer as with a fish, a sort of mongrel, like a salamacdes. In fact, these must have bad peculiar ten acity of life to have lived in these wat ers at all, charged with suits like lye, out of which near by they were making soap. The tiny waves of the lake bad lashed the water Into a heavy foam, precisely ia appearance like a heavy soap suds, the frothy suds piling up In some places a foot deep or more. Washing or the Soil. The washing of the soil by heavy rains is one of the most potent causes of the changing of the surface of uneven or hilly not to mention the mountain ous lands into gullies or bare and bar ren gravel beds or rock.',. The damage thus caused in the Southern States is enormous. Almost every farm has its washed and abandoned fields, ruined in this way. How to ayoid it ia one of the serious problems of the Southern agriculture. With some experience in this direction upon a Lilly Southern farm the writer has been led to believe that feeding the most sloping lands to grass or clover and deep plowing are the best remedies for the evil. A badly badly washed Geld plowed eight inches deep with a good hilside plow and eown with oats and mixed with grass has been subjected to one of the most sweeplog and injurious rain torrents known for some years back. The field escaped practically without injury, a small part of it sloping two ways to a shallow gulch or cove only being at all washed, and this no more torn a few furrows where the water, which the soil cculd not absorb, flowed off to the lower level. A tleld ou an adjoining farm, plowed with the common bull tongue was bejeftof all the plowed soil, which flowed In torrents of mud down the slope. It in as important to prevent damage and. wate of land as to improve It. Washington's Farm. r General Washington possesea 10.0X acres of land in one body, where he lives ; constantly employs 2o0 hands ; keeps twentyfour ploughs going all tbe year when the weather will permit ; ' sowed, in 1767, GO) bushels of oats, 700 I acres of wheat, and prepared as much j corn, barley, potatoes, beans, peas, etc ; has near 500 acres in grass, and sowed l 150 with turnips. Stock 140 horses, j 112 cows, 223 working oxen, heifers, and steers, and 500 sheep. The land about his seat is laid down in grass, tbe farms are scattered at the distance of two, three, four or five miles, which the General visits every day, unless the weather is absolutely stormy. He is constantly making various and exten sive experiments for the improvement of agriculture. lie is stimulated with that desire which always actuates him to do good to mankind. In 1786 he killed 150 bogs, weighing 8,500 pounds, for his family use (!), (exclusive of provisions for his negroes), which war made irto bacon. An Almanac c 17CO. A. Way They Have In Mexico. A Mexican custom which is extreme ly pleasant and convenient to us women folk is their way of leading a lady up and down stairs, and American men would do not only a courteous but a hu mane tbing in imitating them in this re spect, writes a Mexican correspondent. In descending stairs the Mexican goes a step before his companion, and, taking bee hand, holds it up in such a way that any misstep or failure on her part would be sustained by him. I think the most courtly illustration of gallant at tention I ever saw was the way in which Genera Ramon Corona led his American wire down tbe broad stair way of the house my family occupied in Durango when I was a child. I then and there resolved that when it came my time to 6elect a husband I would subject him to that test of grace. In ascending tbe tedy takes her escort's arm and la thus assisted by bim. I have often bad an utter stranger, seeing me about to mount tbe stairs alone, step forward and offer his arm. Accept it ? Certainly. Why should one be brutal enough to reject a courtesy ten dered in all good faith and kindliness ? Arrived at the top the man would tap at the door I was to enter, reply to my thanks that he was happy to have been or even 6uch trifling service, and with 'I am at your feet,9tnorita," bow him self away.

XotwitLstandiDg the loathing; which most races of men have always felt for the whole serpent tribe, there was a email sect in the early days of Christian ity who did not share this feelitjg. In fact, these people actually worshiped serpents. They belonged to the large and more intellectually dignified and important body of schismatics called Gnostics. The serpent worehipeis be lieved that the snake which tempted Eve performed a highly beneficial ser vice for humanity. If the serpent Lad not taken advantage of his opportunity, they contended, in effect, onr Grst parents wonld bare remained in tha Garden of Eel en to the end of tbeir days, and all the . succeeding generations would have remained in a condition of primeval nakedness, innocence and sim plicity. Such a condition of things, in the opinion of this particular sect of Gnos tics, woald not only be highly monoto nous, but would also be degrading and iujurious to the last degree. There wou'.d be dull, dead sameness through out tbe world. Life would be tedious, colorless and insiped. The picturesque and pleasing diversification in language, garb and physical and mental character istics whidh now differentiate one race and nation from another would be ab sent, because there would be but one race and one nation on the whole globe. No exertion would be made to provide food or taiment, for one won'd be provided without exertion, and tbe other would be unnecessary and unfashionable. There would be no incentive for ambi tion, aa all mankind would be on a dull, dead level. Progress wonld be undesir able, and, indeed, impossible even were it desirable. Some of the Gnostics were perverse enough to honor Cain, Judas Iscariot and other wicked personages, but the serpent worshipers literally re vered snakes, and took them to their bosom not figuratively, but really and actually aud kissed them. TorGn Bed Bugs. One day they wt?re talking in Uncle Hank's grocery about loige bed bugs and tough bed bugs. 'I boiled a bed bug nine hours and it swam around on top all the time,' said old GiiTord. 'I put a bed bug In a kerosene lamp,' said Chailey Cam bell, 'kept it there four years, and it hatched out twenty seyen litters of bed bus right iu the kerosene.' Old Hank Allen, who had been listen ing as an outsider, beie ga in his ex perience in corroboration of the facts. Said he : 'Some years ago I took a bed bug to Wood's iron foundry and dropped it into a lad Id where the melted iron was, ar.d had it run into a skillet. Weil, my old woman used that skillet .for six years, and here tbe other day she broke it all to smash ; and what do you think, gentlemen '( that 'ere insectjust walked out of his hole, where he'd been layin' like a frog in a rock, and made tracks for his ole roost up stairs.' But he ad ded by way of parenthesis, 'by ginger, be looked mighty pale.' Poor machinery. There is a great deal of money lost every year by using poor tools and ma chines or those that are not properly cared for. "With g oor tools a man works at a disadvantage and can not accom plish so much or do bis work so easily as when provided with those that are in first class order. Let two men be set at tbe same kind of work, the one with a bright, sharp spade, for instance, and the other with one dull and rusty. The difference in tbe amount of work done will show plainly, and will give an idea cf what is lost each vear on the farm by carelessness in this respeet. It is not economy to work with a poor machine when one can be pi ocured that will do the work more rapidly and with less fatigue for the workmen and horses, and at the same time put in or secure tbe crop in better condition. The propel preparation of the ground for seeding will make a difference in tbe crop suffi cient to pay for what is needed to do tbe work as it should be done. The best machines as a rule require fewer men and horses to operate them and thus a large saving is made at the start. This, with the the better way in which tha work can be done, shows very plain ly that it is economy ts secure the best, even should the price be higher than that charged for what is less perfect. Tbe way in which the machines are Cared for is important, too, not only in the way of getting the work done in the easiest manner, but also in securing the wear of them as long as possible. See that they aie kept well oiled, clean and in every way In condition for rapid work. When the work is done for the season, then see that the machicesare put away in good condition for the next year. The best machines when not used prop erly, or not cared for afterwards, will rapidly depreciate. Neglect in this di rection has worn out more machinery than the use of it. If the farmer has not already a proper building iu which to protect his machines from the weath er, he will find it economy to build one. This will not only protect his invest ment but will Insure against delay when the machines are wanted for use again. Next year will be the centenary of of the colony of New South Wales, the first convoy of convicts having'reacbed Botany Bay on Jan. 20, 17SS. And the colonists are debating how best to cele brate tbe event. But none of them are anxious to trace their origin to these first settlers. Tiie Devons are thought by some authorities to come aa near the compro mise of beef and milk as the licvine race can produce. The milk has the reputation of being very rich, although they aie not noted as persistent milkers. For Aaimalii. Mange, Distemper, Diarrhea aud Worms in dogs quickly cured, Scratches.

"For two days," says Tick, "I saw tte rat lying on his back, under a string piece, as though dead. One of Luddy Keid's horses was spilling oats nearby and the sorrows were filling themselves. The third day the horse had a tantrum and shook the oats all over ti e rat. The spairows ate the scattered oats first. They were evidently suspicions of the rat, although he had teen 'y.zs there at their dinner-hour for two days.
