IllrtW that Help the Farmer.
The ni.itcri.il is is laigelv in hand in
the newly organ i.ed division of economic
Ornithology of Ule depart nit lit of agri
culture for a soiies of bullet inn tipou the
rel.t'. ions of several common s.eei'3 of
bird in this count ly to agriculture. Dr.
C. II. Merriam, the heart of the division,
plc1!. the English .sp.uiow as chief of
the pests which threaten deatructiot: to
the valuable, brunches of agriculture.
This bird, which was imported for the
protection of shadd trees from catf rj'il
ars. etc., has multiplied to such an ex
tent as to became a greater scourge than
the one it wts expected to coutterae'..
The new territory which it invades ia
estimated at more than 1:U,0U0 t-quare
miles annually, and its destruction of
fruit is almost incomputable. The lb
'olink of ttie north is found 10 be help
ful to grain growers, as it lives upon
field insects and the seeds of destructive
weeds, but in the south its ravages in
the rice ileitis nr estimated to cost the
planters from ;i ..i,u) to ?1,ii,nJ
annually. Ir. M?rriatn says that orni
tbologists nre convinced that the services
of huwks-u.:d owls are of great value to
farmers. N'ul more than three out of
upward of thirty different species prey
upon domestic fowl, and evtn these
more tr.an remunerate the farmer ly
killing lield mice. The other species
live entirely upou field mice, gras.-hop-pers,
beetles, and other vtrtniu which
are great dt-st r overs of grain. The crow
has received considerable attention friin
the doctor at.d his correspondent, but
the evidence in hand is not sutlicient to
warrant a verdict. So far an it goes it
crea'es impressions in its favor. It is a
C.tii thief to bu sure, but its pilfeiirps
may be guard d against, whit on the
other hiind it !estros some kin J o' lit; d
Vermin in gre.it nuniU-rs, to say nuih vg
of its work as a scafvnper.

Cimi'se hae a medical liUl'.ifure o a
kind, but they know nothing abir
evi n the the elenie!uary principles of
anatomy and physiology. A Chinaman
who wishes to liecome & d ictor d-iej no:
go through any training on.pend nit -ny
in buying a practice ; h lias only to
purchase a pair of spec! a -es and gather
some herbs, a few sp .lt-rs -u .:,

the C '.inlaw of his shop. Ttie K-.fles
are his idvcrt iseti.eiit ; they tell all -.vho
are in need of Iia'it;g to come to him.
II is favorite prescription is a hrri;.Ie
pill, compounded of parts of snakes,
wasp;;, ceiitip"is, toads, and scorpions,
ground sm.ill and mixed with hoi ey.
Another p:'.l, supposed to be of extra
ordinary etlicitcy in cases of extreme
weakat ss, is made of the bones of tigers.
Ttie belief in u ina-rii is bused on tl.ts
Strang piece .t reasoning. "Tee tier

The True story ot Maztppa.
blins Fins in th Life f the HiJer Crletrattd in
Pvm. I'jiitiBi ui th( Prami.
A portrait of Mezeppa. painted fir-tn
life has been discovered at Kief, in
Southern Russia, and is being engraved
by the Russian academician, Demery
Knwkosky.
It will surprise nearly every one who
hears that Mazeppa was & real, living
man who could sit for hie portrait he
seems so like a purelv mythical beinp
like Bellerophon or like one of the Am
azons. Vet be was a real man and cut
quite a figure in his part of the world
2 years aeo.
John Stepbanovitch Mazeppa was a
C3o&sack, who made a successful war
upon the savage Tartars who desolated
Southern Russia, driving them back to
the Caspian.
This so recommended him to Peter
the (Ireat that he invited the Cossack to
his court and covered bim with honors
and gifts. But when Ptter sent bim
against the invading Swedes under
Charles XII he betrayed the Russian and
weut over with bis followers to the
enemv.
Peter defeated them both. and drove
them iLto Turkish territory, where,
fearing to fall into the hands of his for
mer relentless master, Mazeppa killed
Mmseir.
lie had before this hidden all the trea
sures which he bad amassed in bis wars
and through gifts from those be had
served, in caverns in the bills around
Kief. The portrait now discovered was
probably bidden at this time.
The incident by which we know him
actually did occur.
Tie was by birth a Cossack, but when
very youcg he was sent to serve as a
page in the court of the Polish King.
There his beauty and bravery won bim
great favor, especially with tte ladies.
AV'.th one of them, the wife of a cer
tain noble, he was suspected of too
great an intimacy and the jealous hus
band in revenge ordered him to be bound
naked to the back of a wild horse, that
had never been ridden. The horse was
a Tartar horse, from the Steppe, and
w hen loosed be rushed madly back to ,
his native country with the unwilling
rider bound to bis back.
The Cossacks received the unhappy
youth when nearly dead from exhaus
tion, and be grew up among them, re
markable for strenght and bravery.
Byrpn got his story out of Voltaire's
"Life of Charles XII," ar.d worked it
up into bis dashing and attractive
poem
A story so dramatic was at once
seized upon adaptation to the stage and
it was prsented here as early as ls2." by
an englishman name 3 Hunter. He also
was a very hansome man and made a
great stir in the town. This was at the
circus which is now the alnut Street
Theatre.
The picture of Mazeppa bound to the
horse's back, which everybody koows
so well, was painted by Horace Veruet,
one of the greatest of French artists.
Vernet, of course. grt his inspiration
from Byron, to whom we ail owe what
ever knowledge we may have of the
brilliant Cossack rider and soldier.
Mazeppa'a real motives for betraying
Feter are not ceit&inly known. The
Poles, who look upon bim as a hero,
always have maintained that he had in
view the welfare of the Polish nation,
and they point to the fact that he stip
ulated with the Swedish King for the
independence of Poland.
If this be the truth, it gives a certain
dignity to the act, but the Russian story
runs more in accord with what other
wise is known of bim. They say that
be was led to go over to the enemy by
the blandishments of a certain Polish
princess. This would better correspond
with the rest of his adventurous career.
Ftvr men, however, who are simply
adventurers get their actions recorded
by a historian like Voltaire, and celebra
ted by a poet like Byron, and painted by
a master like Vernet, and get to be
known by all school boys who speak the
English language, and ail this not from
any act of doing, but one of suffering
merely. rhilmJt Iphia Times .
A natural Lawyer. A man
dropped in on a Stocton lawyer the other
day and wanted to borrow ten dollars.
"Haven't got it," said the lawyer.
"Well returned the modest man,
"can't you borrow it for me f '
"I might ; but you must pay back
that Gve dollars you borrowed of me a
year ago first."
He left. The next day be came again,
and brought the five dollars.
i "Thank you. thank you," smiled the
J member of the bar, pocketing the piece.
J "That ain't the proper thing to say;
; 'thank you' is too tame."
j "Yes ?'
: "Yes."

j "Wny. you ought to say, .Come on.

j The Future of Fanning.
Nothing is more sure than that tae
futur of fartxinc in thia country if it
is to be made to pay at al! can be made
remunerative only by a complete change
of system. The change can never be
brought about so long as wheat growing
ia made a specialty. It is already pro
ving itself to be the bane of American
agriculture, not only in yie'.ding no pro
fit to the grower, but in taking the life's
blood out of the soil and shipping it oil
in the grain. It cannot bat be observed,
even by the common run of farmers,
that farming in this country is carried
on to a ruinous disadvantage by reason
of growinsr low priced and soil exhaust
ing crops, coupled with the expense and
perishable machinery required to save
and repair them for market ; and that
these are the sources which operate as a
Perpetual drain on the farmer's income,
liuc. as before said, the charge must
come, and come only through the aid of
grass, and in growing such animals as
will produce the highest priced meats,
not only in the markets of this countrv
but of the world, whether on the hoof
in carcasses or casks. Instead of im
puverishine the soil, as do crops of wheat
and mrn, grass performs the part of an
improver of lis fertility. It is for the
butcher, and not the miller, that the
farmer should now be growing crops.
Another thing, land that is much till
ed must necessarily be well marfured,
and as this is very expensive the farmer
has no other source to look to than grass
and stock. lie shculd, therefore, quit
raisii g so much wheat and raise more
of such crops as can be fed on his land,
and thus convert them into beef and
mutton. Even if there should be no
more money in it, it is better than losing
on wheat, beside it will enable him to
support bis family, keep him owl of debt,
and above all, maintaiu the fertility of
his land, and thus be taking no step
backward. But the farmer who relies
up wheat a? his principal crop uot
only fails to make any mony by it, but
is wearing out his land as well. It
hr.rlly needs any argument to prove
the?e facts, ard that the men who are
improving their opportunities are the
the men who give more of their atten
tion to grazing stock, and thus not only
lay the foundation for an easier system
of farming, but keep up tho fertility of
their land. Baltimore Sun.
Names of Southern Negroes. A
YaDl-ee friend of mine in speaking of
the Limekiln club, says :
"It is inimitable, only that the names
of the members are so exaggerated."
When 1 wrote her a list of tht- queer
names that nave become bo familiar to
me from much hearing Bhe declared
t'.Kit she would retract her opinion of
the Limekiln names lieing exaggerated.
The negroes generally take their names
either from their surroundings or obtain
them from the white people, often mix
ii.K up carries in the most incongruous
fityle. Lilly is the favorite name for
the blackest pickaninny among them.
Our old washerwoman named her only
child M-iry Mndy Selioa Tieasant De
lightful. A tow-.egged young descend
ant of llm rejoicts in the name of Shad-rat-h
Meshach Aldnego though he is
general.'y known as Shad.
A fond young mother could not decide
what to call her Cist son, ao :u her dilem
ma applied to a young lady, who t.jld
her to call him Willipus allapus.
The name tickled her fancy, and new
WiHipus Wallapus ia added to the ii.st.
lhe same negro has since become th?
mother of a daughter, and in speaking
of her a short time ago, said : "I ain,t
sot on no name for her yit, but I'll
either call her Queen Victoria or Mrs.
Cleveland." She also has a etepson, an
overgrown fellow of 17 or IS, who bears
the sweet name of Hosebud Tab. Cut
perhaps the most ridiculous names are
found in those of the children of a half
witted negro in Alabama. There are
three of them, named resieclively
Heaven, Hell and Moses Smote the
Water. A party of picnicers were
very much startled in passing her house
one day to hear the following command :
'Look hyar. Heaven, you niggah, you
go down to Hell and git dat ar dipper
wot dey got down dere." It was only
after a thorough investigation that she
could be understood.
something Aboct Bats. The larg
est of the bats are the ao-calld flying
foxes specimens of which are often
landed at San Francisco and shipjied
east. The face and head mueh resem
bles that of the fox, the eyes being
large and lustrous. They are especially
common in the Indian peninsula, and
occasion so much damage in some of
the islands which contain large fruit
orchards that the planters are obliged
to cover the trees with nets. Tho bats
are exirmeiy large, ana when seen
barging from the trees present the ap
pearance of black fruit or seeds. Olteu
as many as 100 will be seen clinging to
the same tree, and so powerful or pene
trating is the musky odor which they
exude that their presence is announced
long before they are seen.
These bate are famous for their haliits
of intemperance, and a party of drunken
ones is often met with. Their condi
tion is due to their love for the toddy,
which they obtain from the chatties of
the cocoanut trees. So intoxicated do
they become that they are often found
at the foot of trees sleeping off the
effects of their debauch, and so fall
victims to the vice. Temperance lec
turers often use the argument that man
of all the animal kingdom is the only
one that takes to the flowing bowl, but
the bats, monkeys, and elephants are
certainly exceptions.

Tbe Old Man Had to Wait.
On a Michigan Central lra:r, t.1 e
other day, as the "bntcher'' came into
the car with a basket of crangs an
old man, whose wife sat beside x ra
was very anxious to buy half a ly.;,'
but she waved the boy on with :

"Shoo ! but I want two or three
Hanner," he protested.
"You behave yourself. You wuu i0
get cramps and raise a great row, don't

The boy soon returned with box
figs, and the oM man beckoned to Lim
and legan to lick his chops.
"I'ass iigbt on," said the woman to
the boy. "He haint eat a fig for thirty
years, and I gufss he can go thirty
more."
The loy passed on and returned with
peanuts. The old man was ready for
him, but the wife protested :
"He cant eat 'em. It'3 be(-n ten
years since he had a tooth in his head
and he'd have to swallow "em whole
No, Keulx-n. you let ieanuts aloi;e."
Twenty minutes later the boy wa3
back with candy packages in which
there were prizes, and the old cun
exclim'd :
"I'll hev one o' them or Lust ;
Tnen you'll Lust." she replied, as
she motioned the lr.y to pass on. "lfs

CiEOiiok "Washington'- Aiviix
ItAZoit. A lady residing at l'eorlu, 111.,
has in her possession the razor U3ed by
(ieorge "Washington. The Saturday
Evening Call of that city thua dtbcrihes
it :
"The razor consists of a bh.de about
six inches long, an inch and a quarter
wide, with a very thick buck, and a han
dle composed of wood on oi.e side and
bone or? the other. It is heavy enough
to cut a chicken's head off at one blow,
and looks 83 if it might also be made
useful as a butcher's cleaver. The art
of making hollow-gi ound razors was ap
parently uuknowr. in the days of the
il!utruus George.

Effect of a Ckvel Joke. IleaMe
Miles, aged S years, a daughter of a
blacksmith living m ar Harrow's ( reek,
Kentucky, was on Saturday night, the
4'.h icst., the victim of a crael jo'r:e
which caused the los? of her reason.
On the light in question the little giri's
mother took her to the residence of
Mrs. Herman Gtandt, where a private
spiritual seance was being held. The
gul was very much frighiened, and
frequently begged her mother to eo
hom. The company laughed at her,
and finally a son of Mre. Giandt, it: a
spirit of mischief, crawied behind the
girl's chair and gave utterance to s
diemal groan. The ioor girl fell from
her chair in convulsions. Even body
was now thoroughly frightened and the
girl's mother wai nearly distracted
with gnef. There was no physician
near, but everything that could be
thought of was done. The tl.iid re
mained unconscious until Dr. Ilu! !'.
of Nashville, arrivod thereat 4 o'clock
or. Sunday. Then she opened her eps,
but there was a wild, unnatural lip! t in
thorn, and the doctor thinks ht-r reason
has been dethroned. Thf shock was
a'so so great to her nervous system tint
she may not recover.
A Disi'ATCii from Washington s:iys:
The count of the cash in the rnited
States Treasury, which is now in pro
gress, has developed the fact that the
vauit capacity is entirf-Iy inadequate foi
the handling of the silver. The ailver
vault was filled to its utmost capacity
some time ago, and theie still rewaii'.nd
about S,(Xi0,0o0 standard dollars which,
for want of a better place, were piled in
bags in the passage way leading to tho
vault. In making the count these batS
had to be removed to an ontside hall,
where they now remain, protected from
outside interference by nothing but a
pine board partition. It, therefore, has
to be guarded all the time by watchmen
i emmovea in tne iiuiicim
who are arm
ed with revolvers during the day and
with reneatinr rifles dur'nir the nijht.
Every precaution has been taken to pre-
vent its being tampered with while in
it. ..-,.; : 'ta n.ninl will

last fi-e weeks more, and the silver cmi-
not be returned to tho vault-room until
that is concluded. In the meantime
! work is being pushed on the new silver
! vault authorized by the last Congress.
1 It will have storage capacity for ItiJ.iM,
000 st ande.rd dollars, and will probably
i be ready for uee in September.
