A woman's quick wit makes her.
when she has the courage to act upon
it. a valuable aid in ac emergency.
Some yeais ago, in the days when "road
agents" abounded in Montana, a wom
en was traveling by coach to join her
husband. One day a fellow ptssenger
said to her :
I have $1,000 in my pocketbook, and
feel uneasy about the road agents.
Would you mind concealing it in your !
dress, and returning it to me at the end
of your journey 7 If the highwaymen
do atop us they are leas liable to search
you than me.
She acceeded to bia request, hid the
money in her dress, and the stage drove
on without meeting a road agent
until toward evening. Then the shout,
'Throw np your hands!' was heard.
The driver promptly pulled up as four
men on horseback, with masked faces,
appeared in the road and covered him
with their pistols.
Two of the highwaymen then rode
each side of the coach and ordered the
passengers to give up their arms, which
they did promptly.
"Now shell out I " said the robbers.
The passengers handed out their pocket
books even the man who called in the
woman's aid gave up a few dollars.
lie was congratulating himself upon
his caution, when he heard the woman
say in a quiet way:
"I have got 51,000, but I suppose I
must give it up."
Suiting the action to the word, she
handed over the man's roll of fireen
backs. The robbers rode away, and then tbe
toan gave expression to his feeling by
abusing tbe lady and accusing her of be
traying his trust from sheer fright.
She smiled mysteriously.
"Yon will see. sit ; but I can't ex
plain now.
At the end of tbe journey she asked
him to stay all night at her house, and
said that her husband would be glad to
see him.
"Yes ma'am, I will come to your
house," be answered ia the tone of u
injured man ; "if 3 the least you can do,
ma'am, seeing that kou have left me
without a cent in tbe world.
At the lady's house he was treated
as a distinguished guest bus. neither
host nor hostess offered blm one word
of explanation that night, and he went
to bed a sad irritated man.
The next morning as he entered the
dining rocms. the tost shook hands
with him and said :
"Here is your ?l,000. sir, which my
wife ventured to borrow in a imergen
cy. She had ?20,000 hich she was
bringing to me concealed in her dress.
She thought by giving up at once tbe
? 1.000 intrusted to her by you she would
save herself from being searched by the
robbers.
"Her quick wit saved me from a
heavy less, acd I am much obliged to
you for the forced loan.
Breakfast was a far more cheerful
meal la the man than tbe supper the
night before. YvtUli's Cunijiiuun.
Walru-t-lluntlng ia the 1'ariflr.
Walruvhuntlng is by no means a
novelty in adventures, since in has been
carried on from time to time out of
mind, but in the past the beasts were
tUughtered merely for their tusks and
blubber, their hides being thrown away
as worthless. MoJern Ingenuity, how
ever, has discovered an important aw
for the walrus hide, and to-day that
which was one e regarded as offal is
looked upou as the most useful part of
the animal. Emery wheels, so gen
erally in use, are when constructeJ on
tbe old method, liable when ruu at high
speed to burst in fr&gmeats. endanger
ing the lives of those who work around
them, and consequently experiments
have been made from time to time to
devise some substitute for the ordinary
emery wheel. After various substances
had been tried, giving greater or less
satisfaction, it was ascertained that
watrus bide was the most suitable ma
terial for that purpose, possessing as tt
does the qualities of toughness, durabil
ity and suceptibility I. e. : it is strong
doea not weir out, and rapidly receives
and retains the emery powder. This is
applied by pressing it into the porous
. substance of this tbe entlreemery wheel
of to day is made. As these wneela are
ia great demand the price of walrus
hide has advanced in a corresponding
ratio until they cow sell for 13 ceuts
per pound, and, as a single hide will
weigh from 500 to 1.000 pounds, they
are well worth taking. Walrus bunt
ing has, therefore, become an ir.por
taut industry, and although now in its
infancy will, beyond doubt, become a
rival of whaling in the near future.
Nor is the bide the only valuable part
of the walrus, as a fine oil is obtained
from the blulbvr of tqual value with
whale oil, and with tbe great diminu
tion in tbe production of elephant
ivory the tusks are daily enhancing in
value as an Important article of com
merce. Your Destiny.

The pronunciation of the word "nei
ther" is very generally considered to be
a matter of taste. Most dictionaries
give both pronunciations, but good
speakers invariably give the long e
sound, although tbe long i sound is gen
erally supposed to have no more serious
objection than being somewhat affected.
It is. however, incorrect, as its origin
will show. It is well known tbat the
German pronunciation or ei Is long, as
der Fierd. the enemy, while the Eng
lish rule is to pronounce tbe diphthong
as long in receive. Tbe lone e sound
was invariably given in neither nntil
the reign of George I. or Eogland. Be
ing of the House of Iianover, and speak
ing English indifferently, be gave the
German pronunciation to the dlph
dipbtbong. Court parasites thought it
proper to ape the King and his pronun
ciation spread. Few people know this
origin, and hence tbe general mistake.

Farm, Field and Uarden.
There is no subject of more vital Im
portance to tbe farming interest at tbe
present time than tbat of manures.
IIow to suppliment tbe accumulations
of home-made manures with least out
lay of money und time and greatest
benefit to the farm, is as yet an open
question wirb some, though many far
mers have accepted commercial fertili
zers as an easy solution of the problem.
There are not a few cultivators who
assert that tbe commercial manures are
stimulents rather than fertilizers, and
ask tbe very pertinent question bow a
few hundred pounds or these made fer
tilizers can cause such a large increase
as has been gained, for Instance with
wheat, in any other wav than by forc
ing the soil to part with some elements
necessary to plant growth which it was
holding in reserve after having given
up all it could spare to former crops.
These objectors state tbe case with
plausibility and also with some truth,
nnless the use of tbe artificial fertilizers
is alternated with subs' ances of a gross
er and more material kind, when their
continued employment must be a posi
tive advantage. Tbe true theory of
successful farming is the rotation and
variety of manures as well as rotation
or crops, all beirjg useful and necessary
in their turn. When this rule is ob
served lands may not only be made to
make remunerative retnrns every year
in grain or gras, but a'.so increase in
general productiveness under good cul
tivation. At the head of all fertilizers stand the
product of the barn yard, not only on
account of its general distribution, but
also for tbe reason tbat a it has been
wholly derived from tbe land it contains
all tbe elements necessary to be re
turned to it. Clover in tbe north and
cow peas in the south offer to each sec
tion ready and reliable fertilizers.
valuable not only for their chemical
properties, but especially for their use
fulness in mechanically changing tbe
character of bard and compact soils.
Along with these are the numerous
kinds of commercial manures, the trust
worthy brands of which contain in fair
proportions the elements found in those
from tbe stable, with the important ex
ception that they cannot form vegeta
ble mold, which is just as necessary to
a well constituted soil as its mineral
and chemical elements.
The following formula, madt. by tbe
Mapes company, indicates about the av
erage chemical composition of
many of tbe well known commerc'al
brands, along with tbe other nesessary
ingredients. Ammonia, 4 to 5 per cent.;
phosphoric acid. 10 to 12. and potash,
4 to 5 per cent. Tbe analyses of scien
tists make it appear tbat a ton of aver
erage barn yard manure contains a bo at
10 pounds nitrogen, 12 pounds potash
and five pounds phosphoric acid. It
must, however, be understood tbat
these amounts will vary according to
tbe condition o! tbe manure and tbe
food out of which it was made.
Facts About Fleas.
T' !fln B lz-hwA A r ..,1 it, St- ilia. flAnpiok

and multiply most abundantly. But in !
spite of St. Dominic's curse and their
unclean haunts, they are inteiestlng
little fellows. Let me put one under
the microscope. It eeems to be clothed
ia a sort of armor formed of brown
over'apping plates tbat are so exceed
ingly tough as to be almost indestruct
ible. Its head is small and very thin
and it has a single eye upon each side.
This eye is black, and tbe lays of light
scientillate within it like sparks of fire.
Puget managed to look through one of
these eyes and he found tbat it dimin
ished objects in eize, while it multiplied
in number, a man appearing like an
army of faries and tbe same flimo or a
candle becoming a thousand tiny stars.
From tbe shape of its head acd for other
reasons tbe flea is supposed to use only
one eye at a time. Tbe offensive weap
ons of a flea are composed of two palpi,
or feelers, two piercers, and a tongue.
When it feeds it stands erect, thrusting
its suckers into the flesh, and it will eat
without intermission until disturbed,
for it voids as fast as it swallows its
foed. It is interesting to put several
in a glass, and, giving tbem a raw piece
of meat, see tbem all standing up on
their bind legs tc suck up its juices.
Tbe manuer of breatbirg is still unde
termined, but it is thought most proba
ble tbat they receive air into their bod
ies through small holes at the end of
tbe palpi. Tbe legs of a flea are mar
velous in strength and elasticity. They
are joined to tbe body by long tendons,
tbat act like wire springs. It making
its leap, which, it is said, can cover 20
times its own length, tbe flea draws tbe
leg close up to the body, and then
throws it out with great force ; but tbe
impulse proceeds from tbe first joint
alone, tbe others only increasing ic by
their stretch while the leap ia being
made. Ex.
The JHediral Use of L'ggs.
For burns and scalds there is nt thing
more soothing than tbe white or an egg,
which may be poured over tbe wound.
It is softer as a varnish for a burn than
collodion, and being always on band,
can be epplied immediately. It la also
more cooling than tbe "sweet oil and
cotton,'' which was formerly supposed
to be the surest application to allay the
smarting paiu. It is the contact with
the air which gives the extreme discom
fort experienced from ordinary acci
dents of this kind ; and anything which
excludes air and prevents inflammation
is the best thing to be applied. The
egg is also considered one of the very
beat remedies for dysentery. Beaten
op lightly, with or without sugar, and
swallowed at a gulp, it tends by its
emollient qualities to lessen the inflam
mation or the stomach aud intestines
and by forming a transient coating for
these organs to enable nature to assume
ber healthful sway over the diseased
body. Two, or, at the moot, three eggs
per day would be required in ordinary
eases ; and since tbe egg is not merely
ajmedicine, but food as well, the lighter
the diet otherwise, and the quieter tbe
patient is kept, the more certain and
rapid is their recovery.
Ok all thieves fools are thi worst ;
tbey rob you of time and patience.
