The Turnip Crop. July is the period for putting in the turnip crop, and new crop seed should be used. The seed being small it is im portant that the soil be In the Guest possi ble condition, not a clod or lump to be allowed. The ground (as was recom mended previously) should hare been plowed and frequently cultivated be fore now, tn order to allow weed and crass seed to germinate, thereby rid ding the Geld of these nuisances before planting. The crop is especially a summet crop, and matures quickly. It can be grown on land formerly occupied by early potatoes or green peas, which is an advantage, the cultivation of the previous crops cleaning the land for the turnips. For a general croDthe rutabagas are preferred, as they keep well in winter and yield largely. The ed should not go in until the ground Is moist, and half inch covering is sufficient. The rows should be care fully laid off, and as straight as possible, in order to permit of the use of the horse-hoe after the plants are well up. The better mode of putting in the seed is In use a seed planter, as they are now constructed to open the rows, drop the seed at intervals, cover them, and then slightly press the earth on the feeds with a small roller. It also marks off the next row. ly this plan it is only ne cessary to use the marking line for the 3rst row. Use plenty of seed, as the fly readily attacks the young plants. A liberal nse of the wood ashes along the rows It is said to be a protection, but it is better to rely on the use of more seed than is really necessary, as the surplus plants can be easily removed if too thick after they appear. There are two methods of putting in the seed. Oae is to sow the seed thickly in the row, and after they appear, to thin the plants out by chopping rpaces between the stools required, and the other is to drop the seed in stools at distances suilicient to allow of the use of the hoe. The latter mode Is preferable, as the work can be done with the seed planter. In either case the hoe must be usod. If the land be rich, COO bushels. of turnips can be produced, and, considering the late season of production the crop and the keeping qualities of the bulbs, no root crop is grown at a less cost or is of more value as stock food on proportion to yield of crop. Turuips are not, re garded as a nutrtious diet in win?er compared with other foods, but they serve the place of green and succulent material, and can be grown on all farms. Used in connection with grain they are better thin grain alone, and the health and conition of all classes of stock will be largely promoted by their use In winter. The Urler of a ton boy Dog. A cattle man from Arizona. William Wilson by name, recently paid a visit to S.in Francisco, says the New 1 ork Sun, and brought with him a dog that would have delighted the heart of the authur of "Sartor Il--artus." For the animal fUunts a real Carlylean contempt for the fripperies of civil:zition and the useless adornment of clothes. Mr. Wilson ;nt Nucget, the dog, to board with a dog fancier In a canine boarding houst. and turn went to a clothing store and exchangea his cow boy's rig for new clothes of the latest cut. The next day he called on Nug get, but Nugget would have none of him. The master whistled to the dog, petted him, and made every effort to make hiru understand that affection was not changed, evea though clothis had been. The dog looked up at the silk hat which had taken the place of the bruadbrimmed slouch to which he had bten accustomed, sniffed at the dude-lika cane, and surveyed the light trousers from several points of view, and then walked off to the corner of ti e room, layed down, and gave a lonir, mournful howl. Mr. Wilson tried to coax him out of the corner, but could not. Nugget would lock up at him with a knowing expression in his eye, and occasionally give the feeblest little wag to the end of his tail, but he could not be induced to reconsider his evident determination not to recognize his tnasN ter in any such ridiculous attire as that. Mr. Wilson went to bis hotel, donned his cowboy rig again, and then return ed to Nugget's quarters. The Instant the dog saw him he was almost wild with joy, and bis delight at seeing his master again clothed as he thought a man ought to be was almost uuboui.d d. Palatable Way to Prepare Cherries. Select large cherries, have them per fectly dry. Tut ono pound of granula ted sugar and a gill of water in a sauce pan over the (Ire to boil ; stir io until the sugar is dissolved, not one moment longer. Boil continuously until thssyr- op thickens when drop into ice water, and it will form a soft ball wben rubbed between '.be thumb and finger. Watch the syrup carefully while boiling, and wK.h a sponge wipe the sides of the saucepan three or four times. This prevents granulation. As soon as you can form this syrup into a soft ball ; turn it out on to a large greased meat platter, allow it to stand a few minutes to cool, then stir with a wooden spoon rapidly until you have a white creamy candy called fondant. Now piece the fondant in a porcelain-lined saucepan, add your tHvoring, stand the saucepan in a pan of boiling water and stir the londant constantly until it melts. If it is too thick add water or flavoring to thin. Dip the cherries in the bot fon dant and stand aside to dry.

She has eaten pickles until she has dwindled from 200 to sixty pounds. She can no longer eat. Her tongue is as dry and hard as a piece of leather and ber phy sicians aay that the interior of ber stomach is as bard and smooth as the surface of polished class. The young: lady ia only 16 years old. Mrs. Julia Moore was run orer and killed by a train, at Henderson, North Carolina, on the 29th nit. Seeing the train approaching aha fainted from fright and fell upon the track. She was 01 years old. Annie Player, a colored woman, io Wilcox county, has attained the age of US years. She was the slave of 11. X. Player. She was blind at the age of 110 years, but at the age of 117 she re covered her eyesight. A little negro girl In Albany, Geor gia, is gradually turning white, the skin of her face and arms being now hardly distinguishable in hue from that of a Caucasian child. Her hair, too, which was jet black, has become white. A young woman, at Beloit, Kan., was recently paia the bounty on the scalps of nine young wolres which she captured while beiding cattle. A Savannah lady went to arother lady to leave some flowers to be placed on the grave of a friend who died a few days before. While returning home she was frightened by a severe shock of lightning, and was stepping into a store to wait for the storm to pass wben she fell dead. The flowers which she carried to place on the grave of her friend were placed upon her own. Mrs. Mary Xantz has a farm of 200 acres in Butte county, Cal. The wheat on it will give her a profit of ?2,900 this year. A ladv of Portland, Me., who was salmon fishing near the eastern shore of the Providence of Quebec, is said to have landed a forty-two-pounder after a full hour's fight. Mrs. James Ilarnisch, a Polish woman of Dorr, Allegan county. Mirh., gave birth last Tuesday week to four chil dren, three boys and a girl. The light eta weighs three pounds and the otners average four pounds each. Miss Sarah Xorcross has worked fifty years in cotton mill, at Lowell, Mass., with no break except a few weeks sick ness, e A South Carolina girl was married five times in seven weeks, and is now bothered to know which oue of the chapi is her true husband. She has been sent to jail to think it over. Oslando, Fla.. rejoices io a colored wnmauwbo says she is 105 years old. "For about ninety years she has used tobacco in some form or other, and ocs casionally takes a dose of spirits mixed with about one-third of beef's gall." The Crown Prince of Sweden has been robbed of f 100.000 worth of jewels. Th Duchess of Edlnburg was recently relieved of 510.000 worth of gems in Spain. South American Xosqnitoes. One of the pests of life in South America is the upiquitous mosQuito, which there attains such an enormous size and venom that his victims are numbered by the scores. Not long ago a herd of valuable cattle taken from the United States to a ranch upon the Magdalena River became so desperate under the attack of the mosquitoes that they broke fiom their stalls, jumped in to the water aud all were drowned. Passengers intending to make the voy age usually provide themselves with protection in the shape of mosquito bars, head nets and thick gloves, and when on deck are compelled to tie their sleeve around theii rists and pantaloons around their ankles. Even these pre cautions are not always effective. Large as the insects are they seem to have the power to creep through the smallest crevica, and it is of ten neces sary to chance one's clothing four or five times a day ou their account. Day and night they give the sensitive tkin ed travelers no rest. I have been sol emnly assured that very often when they have attacked a boat and driven its captain and crew below they have brok en the windows of the cabin by plung ing ia swarms against them and have attempted to burst In the doors. Al though this may be something of an ex aggeration it is nevertheless true that frequently horses and cattle, after the most frightful sufferings, have died from mosquito bites on board the ves sels. A Girl Who Could Dig. A younz girl was teaching in a public school. not a hundred miles from Poaton at the time money and supplies were wanted for the Sanitary Commission. She went on a committee to solicit for this purpose. It was agreed to take not only money but anything no mat ter what, that people would give. Among other thiogs she was given a hoe. She went to a market farmer and gardner, hoping to get something hand, some in the war of a donation. But he was too tight-fisted to give her any thing. Finally she told him she bad a hoe, and asked him to buy that, hoping to turn it iLto money. This he refuted to do. but told her she might have all the potatoes she could dig with a hoe in one day. Early the next morniDg she appeared, hoe in hand. It was a good year for potatoes, and the price was high. The farm Laods were in ber interest if the farmer was not. They tod her where the potatoes turned out lha best. She did such a good bus iness that the farmer wanted be to stop, and at toon offered her J 10 to quit. But she did not propose to quit, but held him to bis promise. She worked on till she had dug twenty-six bushels making for tb Sanitary Commission that day.

NO SMC W BLOCK ACES LJ pip l-Opf STEEL WIRE FEME. All Sorts or Paragraphs. Knowledge and timber abonld not be much used until they 'ate well seasoned. Volatility of words is carelessness in action. Words are the wines of action. Wealth may bring luxuries, bot lux uries do not always bring happiness. The certain way to be cheated is to fancy one's self more canning tbsn others. Xo snow falls lighter than the snow of age ; but none Is beaTier 'or it never melts. Grand temples are built of small stones, and great liTes make up of small events. To be In a passion is to punish one's self for the faults and impertinence of another. Nature is a rag merchant who works op every shred and odd and end into new creation. The affection of parents is best shown to their children by teaching- tbem what is good and true. A year of pleasure passes like a fleet ing breeze but a moment of sorrow seems an age of pain. Sleep is death's yonoger brother, and so like him that I never dare truat him without my prayexs. Great souls are always loyally sub missive to what Is over them ; only mean souls are otherwise. Love can excuse anything except meanness ; but meanness kills love, and cripples even natural affection. The hardest thing to empty out of the heart is conceit. As men -abound in conceit they depreciate in excellence. God has given us Sabbaths and Sat urday nights, that they may leaye busi ness In the office, and have a heart cleaning. As a mound of earth raised by the ants or the sands in the bour glass, so religion, learning and riches ic crease .only by degrees. Never retire at night vrithout being wiser than wben he rose in the morning, by having learned something useful during the day. Courage, the commonest of the vir tues, obtains more applause than discre tion, the rarest of them. The men who do things naturally. slowly, deliberately, are the men who of tenest succeed in life. If you love, love more. If you hate. bate no more. Life is too short to spend in hating any one. Tne man who violently hates or ar dently loves, cannot avoid being in some degree or sense a slave to the person be detests or adores. The smallest and the slightest imped iments are most annoying, and as little letters most tire the eyes, so do little affairs most disturb us. Censure is most effectual wben mixed with praise ; so when a fault is discov ered, it Is well to look up a virtue to go in company with it. The habic of resolving without acting is worse than not resolving at all, inas much as it gradually sunders the na tural connectioa between thought and deed. Many persons are purified and exalted by sickness, as if the band of disease naa been stretched out over tbem only to make the sign of 'the cross on their souls. I'erseverauce is one of the primitive impulses or the human heart ; one of the Indivisible primary faculties or sen timents which gave direction to the character of man. A Snake's Affection lor a St-boolmarm Miss Mollia Dinsmore. teacher of thi public school of Seymour, Ind., ia auf fering from the shock occasioned by 1 recent eneounter with a snake. Tb repine caused a scare among tne pupiia on the play ground at recess, snd Miss Dinsmore hastened to the rescue, wben the snake turned upon her, ran up her back, and entwined itself around her neck so tightly that but for the timely assistance of a young gentleman who was passing and promptly responded to the frightened calls of the little ones sbe would have strangled. Tbe snake whan killed measured over four faet in length. It was a black racer, a variety that is usually considered harmlea, and this is tbe first instance in which one of its kind has been known here to attack any person. Applied Arithmetic. It will not do to be careles3 in your statements in addreasiog a crowd of boys as I found to my chargrin some years ago, says a man who was often in yited to talk to the young. "I was vis iting a village school, and at the close of the study hour all the children were marched Into the assembly room. I was invited to say a few words, and in tbe coarse of my remarks threw out the old chestnut about 'any one of you can be .President if you are determined enough.1 At this point I was inter rupted by a little fellow on the front row, who jumped up and said : "Say, Mleter, how long does the President hold?" "Four years," I answered, wondering what was coming. "Then some of us fellows would have to be almighty old before we got there," he retorted. I gave one glance at the hundred or more laughing boys in front of me, and sat down in disgrace." A Chinese Farmhouse. A Chinese farmhouse is a curious looking abode. Usually it is sheltered with groves of feathery bamboo and thick-spreading banyans. The walls are of clay or wood, and the interior of the house consists of one main room fix tending from ono floor to the tiled roof, with closet looking apartments In the corners for sleeping rooms. There is aaliding window on the roof made out of cut oyster shells arranged in rows while the side windows are mere wood en shutters. The floor is the bare earth, wheie at nightfall there often gathers together a miscellaneous family of dirty children, fowls, ducks, pieeons and a litter of pigs all living together in de lightful barmosy.

PISej Money cannot make brains, but br-., can make money. 14 Of all thievfs fools are tbe worr they rob you of time and patience. Industry has annexed thereto th fairest fruits aud the richest rewardj. It is not true tnat love makf-s j, things easy ; it makes us choose what difficult. Act well at the moment, and have performed a good action to a eternity. Our prayers are sometimes t , swered when our desires are most cp posed. The great fact is, that life i3 a ser vice, the oily question, Whom we serve ? We are first of all, in all our prayers and in all our conduct to have re.pec'.tc God's glory. lie who steals a little steals wihv. same wish as be who steals much, t with les9 power. In buying, study cafefully the tfj of your trade, and buy with that end a;, ways in ylew. The Icjary of prodigality leads to this, that he who will not economic will have to agonize. If a man hope not for that which baffleth hope, he shall Dot find it ; font is past searching for and past findicg out. Iam a man of dei-perate fcrturi that is, a man whose friends are deid for I never aimed at any other fortua tban in friends. It is the true secret of a happy life; to live so that by our example, our fcmi woras and deeds, we may help sons one else. Of all things which man can door make here below, by fir the most rac ruentous, wonderful and worthy are the things we call books. As tbe principal of love is the heart of the real christiau, so the labor cf kvt 13 mo llto.j uusiue.vB oi me curisuan life. Tbe voices of old age have ihe si if. ness of it too ; and as it is tbe unfittes; time to learn in, bo the unfitness of itta unlearn in will be found much greater. Fear plunges the system into tU state of debilit which predisposes it to fatal impressions, while the mortal force of confidence enables it to repel contagion. Teach yocr boy a trade. He ran then always earn an honest and Eufi-cirr.t liv ing. Tbe tramp is tbe product of either laziness or lack of preparation foi earning. The bumble saw buck will always stand between its owner and want, which is more t ban can be said of learning and library. 'Contentment is better tban riches " That sounds like the despairing m ai! of a disappointed man. It is a patent medicine, intended for tbo.se who have tried for success and have failed. It u warranted to have the same soutt.irs effect that the conclusion aboift t:.e grapes had ou the fox. If ta):ea ia suf ficiently laree doses it will make arran a helpless nonentity. It is a raiejtic that does more harm tban good. 1. pats to sleep tbe very ones who need waking. Tbe fact is. contentment i batisSrd laziness. Those who better thfUilves and get the grapes do not tbir.k th-y are sour. A true man is not necessari'.lj discontented, but be is ever aspirins. He would do more be more pet in?rt. He does not care for absolute content ment, The utmost he will admit is that contentment, with riches, is better thu: without tbem. That "we must take people as we f.-J them," in this world, is unmistakeaj true ; but that we must leave people w we found tbem is to admit that our efforts in their behalf have been utterly valueless. Taking people as we fiad them, and leaving tbem a great ilea! better for our presence and labors, is the simple duty of all of us. To Avoid Contagion. Modern science attributes most of tbe contagious and infectious diseases to the propagation in tbe human sya'em of microscopic living growths. Tbe disease may be escaped if the j;erm3 of disease can be avoided. Whether the theory is absolutely correct or not. there is no question that by obserrii ? tbe following rules, which we cut fiom so exchange, the interests of health m? be greatly promoted : See that all members of the family are successfully vaccinate!. Keep away from any bouse in wtien disease is present, unless your services are need ed. In cases of epidemics, cbiidtea should be kept from school and from all assemblies. Be sure your drinkiag water is pure ; well-water is always to be suspected ; wheu there is any douDt about tbe water, it is always shftr to use boiled water. One who nurses a person sick with a contagious disease should be regular m eating, sleeping, aud in taking daily exercise in the open air, and should ul become over anxious respectng tbe danger of contacion. Avoid taking the bieath of tbe sick person. Keep the hands free from sores ami scratches. Avoid getting the ban" ooiled with discharges from the j'atieut, and if soiled, cleanse as soon as ble. Do not touch tbe jii's to any tb'cf that has U-eu used by or hiwut the r tient, especially 6poons, cup glasses. Do not wipe your f-' r hands with any cloth that has been on or near the sick person. The le of clothing that a person Las worn ju before, during or just f.fter illness, should not be worn by another. Tbe expectoration of consumi1" should be received in a vessel c-111' Ing a disinfecting solution, r(ulj rags, which should be burned ; it in no case be debited wheie it ci; reached by chickens or other Jou-ieS. animals, which have Ueu knt-wu come diseased by eatiuR it, Li contagion to thuse eating tUir il"-
