Mr. J. Clark gives, in the Clerman
town Ttiegrcrph, the following experi
ment of plowing under brush and
manure, which illustrates a pomt
worthy of attention. The loosening
and eration of the soil, especially if
heavy, is not sufficiently cared for. The
beat crop of oate (80 bushels to the acre
we ever raised, was obtained by plowing
under all the straw the plow would
cover. This was good, sound straw,
and could not have decayed early
enough to produce such a result as a
fertilizer. It was simply the effect of
leaving an air space eight inches down
in a stiff, clay loam. Mr. Clark says:
My idea was that one great cause why
could not get as good crops from old
fields as when they were firstcnltivated,
was owing, in a great measure, to the
density of the x>iL I had observed that
the first eight or ten years after clear
ing off the forest, the land would give
good crops with very little care in plow
ing; the reason for this, I argued, was
the decaying of the innumerable root
lets of Uie trees cut down. In order to
test the theory, I cat down about two
tons of walerbrush, hardback and
other small bushes, and let them lie in
a pile exposed to the weather one year,
and then applied them to a hall acre of
land, and applied barn-yard manure to
another half acre adjoining. The re
salt proved the manure to be a little the
best the first year, which was corn.
Sowed grass seed in the fall after har
vesting the corn. The manured place
did pretty well far abont five years, the
brush piece did well for abont ten years,
proving the theory to be oorrect. I used
two cords of the manure as a balance
lor the two tons of bushes; the plowing
was six or eight inches deep. I have
repeated the experiment since, with the
same result
ValM A>hn for Potato**.
On a small patch of land which I
have cultivated this season to potatoes,
ashes were applied in the hill at the
rate of .sixty bushels to the acre, save
on the row, which was left for the pur
pose of comparison. On this no ashes
were applied. On digging the potatoes,
those from the row without ashes and
also those from the two adjacent rows
were weighed. Computing the yield
for an acre of each, the following is the
remit:
Largr %u*ll
Potato**. Potato**. Total
BtuhHa. Btsahrl*. Btmhrla.
Oue acre without *h I St Z
On*M with Mhe* ..W 3T Sfl
If we take into the account onlj the
large potatoes, the thirty-two bushels
gained by using ashes at sixty cents per
bushel would amount to £l9 20. litis
sum divided by GO, the number of
bushels of ashes to the acre, gives thir
ty-two cents per bushel as their value.
Allowing for the labor of applying the
ashes, and also for the excess of small
potatoes from the ground upon which
no ashes were applied, it would be safe
to regard the value of the ashes to about
twenty-five cents per bushel.
The ashes were from mixed wood,
about two-thirds soft wood and one
third hard wood. It is more than prob
able that from the dryness of the sea
son the beneficial effects of the ashes in
the soil have not yet l>een fully real
ized. During the growing season the
row without ashes could not have been
selected by the appearance of the tops.
The two lots of potatoes have not yet
been compared as te quality for table
use. Tboße, however, which have been
tasted from land to which ashes were
applied, are excellent. The Orono po
tato was used for the experiment.—

Tannin# Lambskin* Willi the Wool 111.
Wash the pelts in warm water, and
remove all fleshy matter from the inner
surface ; then clean the wool with yel
low soap, and rinse the soap thoroughly
out. When this iB done, apply to the
flesh side the following mixture for
each pelt: Common salt and alum,
one-quarter of a pound of each, and
half an ounce of borax dissolved in a
quart of warm water; add to this
enough rye meal to make a thick paste,
and spread the mixture on the flesh aide
of the pelt. Fold the skin lengthwise
and let it remain two weeks in an airy
and shady place, then remove the paste
from the surface ; wash and dry. When
nearly dry scrape the flesh side with a
knife, working the pelt until it becomes
thoroughly soft.
Girdled Tree*.
ibout the best preventive against in
jury by rabbits in the orchard is to
smear the bark with blood, batcher's
offal, fresh beef or hog's liver. Some
horticulturists wrap the tree stem with
heavy paper and apply over this a
cpflting of tar or raneid oil. Tar or
grease applied directly to the bark
would probably seriously injure if it
did not kill the tree. Where the bark
has been stripped or gnawed away, an
application of freßh oow manure, fast
ened on tightly with an old cloth, is
decidedly the best method of mending
the wound and inducing a fresh growth.
Milk.
The bept,issible way for cooling
tnilV iB to plaoe the vessels containing it
in a tank supplied with spring water,
which is always cold. It is equally
good if the tank be supplied from a
deep well, but in this case the labor of
pumping is considerable. The cooling
of milk by placing ice in the vessels
containing it is not advisable for several
reasons, one of which is that it dilutes
the milk. Another is that it does not
cool the milk equally.

A Beef Reform.
Texan beef has hitherto been under
a ban. It ha* been a synonym for
everything tough, tasteless, ami treach
erous. Hut the Texan steer has IMVII
ill used—not only in having lieeti utade
Hie subject of caustic sarcasm and dis
tnal jokes, but in having been so cruelly
and unjustly treated that the condition
necessarily precedent to this sarcastic
abuse has been forced upon him. He
has been driven from his free and airy
pastures upon the great Texan plains, a
long and dreary errsti mouths' jonruey
to the prairies of Kansas and Colorado.
I'pon his enforced journey he ha* been
chased, run down, lashed with whijs,
i and partially starved ; afterwards cx
i posca to the howling tempest* of an
intensely cold winter in Ins new pas
tnres he ha* picked his living upon the
dry gra*a and sedges along the banks
l of the Arkansas or the Flatte. Then
he has boon fed upon soft eoru -un
marketable ears—agaiust whieli hia free
soul has utterly revolted. When re
stored somewhat to his former self,
and brought more into a semblance of
just prop<wtion to his enormous horus,
lie has Wn crowded into the railroad
cars, in which, cabined, cribbed, con
fined, he has undergone all the tortures
of "the middle passage," Without
feed or water, wearied, sick, and sore,
this poor pilgrim has reached onr East
ern market* in a condition iu which life
ana death atrove together for htm.
Fevered, starved, and bruised, he goes
to the slaughter, hia wild tiatnre un
tamed, resisting to the last. Then the
housekeeper, with reputation at s'ake,
dubiously regards those bruised Quar
ters exposed for sale at the market*.
Klaek, blue, and yellow, the bruised
beef hangs upon the hoots, and thereby
hangs a tale of misery which touches
the human and seusitive heart.
And the victim of all this cruelty is
iusultcd by our unintentionally unjust
remarks. For the Texas steer is uo
snob hard caae. Theoretically, as a
grass-fed steer, he should furnish the i
beat and juiciest of beef. Practically
and truly he doe* this. We can vouch
for the fact because within a day or
two we have eaten a steak front a steer
which was slaughtered upon his native
heath. He was one of 426 head which
were slaughtered at Austin and Deni-'
son, in Texas, upon the 26th day of No
vember, and which upon the same day
were ahipj>ed upon refrigerator car* di
rect to the New York market. Hern
they arrived in perfect order, clean,
fresh, sweet, with the flavor of theii
native v grass upon them, without a
bruum and with no regretful coin
cidence attached to them to raise one's
sympathy. Under these favorable cir
cnmstances the Texan steer is a sweet
creature ; his fle&h is as tender as that
of the delicate antelope, with some
what of that succulence and flavor
which belongs to the best of onr game
annuals.
A company has now been formed,
which intends to ship 500 head tri
weekly from Deaisoe to New York,
whose success it is to be hoped will be
permanent, both on account of the al
most incredible suffering which may
now lie spared to the beast*, and of the
certain rednetiou of price and vastly
improved quality of the beef. Beef
thus brought to market can be sold at
an average price of six cent* ner pound
at wholesale. Allowing the nandsome
profit of 100 per cent, to the retailer,
the consumer should be able to pur
chase it an average price of 12 cents.
At precent the bruised and really un
wholesome beef we buy coatr double
this price. Here in this ago of reform
is a reformation that is far from insig
nificant. As iu all reforms there is op
position on aoocunt of vested interests,
which may suffer in the reduction of
price from 25 and 30 cents to 10 and 15
cents per pound. But poor purchasers
are in the majority and the few must
succnmb. It only remains to snpport
the hands of the reformers, by demand
ing of onr batchers that thev supply us
with the Texas-slaughtered beef, to
successfully realize the benefits of this
much needed reform, — Hearth and
Home.
A Rhode Island Samson,
There is living in Newport, R. I,
says a correspondent, a man quite as re
markable for his mnscnlai powers as
he who in olden times bore off on his
shoulders the gates of Gaza. When a
youth he was wont to shoulder a barrel
,of flour with his feet inside a peek
measure. On one occasion, on Htevcua'
wharf, as the resnlt of a 1 muter that he
could not shoulder an anchor weighing
550 pounds, he raised it to his shoul
ders, carried it np Bannister's wharf,
up four steps into the United States
Hotel (west door), carried it throngh,
down one step, out of the sonth door,
j down the wharf back again, and de
posited it on the scales for weighing. The
distance lie carried it must have been
from 300 to 400 yards. Tbe feat was
considered so remarkable that it was
placed npon the town records, where it
may be seen by any who may be in
credulons.
On another occasion half a dozen
men were tugging at a hogshead of
molasses lying on its bilge, endeavor
ing to place it on end, when he ordered
1 them aside and ended it np alone.
Though now fifty-seven years old, he is
1 ready at any time on a wager to lift to
l his shoulder a barrel of floor. Tbe
I same man (he is an out-and-oat tee
j totaler now) has been known to stand at
the bar ot the old Park House and
drink thirty-two glasses of liquor with
out turning round. On one occasion
he says that he and another man, making
'* a night of it," sat down to half a bar
j rel of beer, and drank it all np before
| morning. Yet no person ever saw this
man in the gutter, or even stagger from
the effects of"hi* potations. It was his
boast in his younger days that he could
ont-lift and out-drink any man in
Rhode Island. The reader may think
that in the dearth of " items" we have
been stringing together a bunch of
Mtinehaasiil tales for our and their
; amusement; bnt the man is Rtill living,
' and there are those among us who will
verify the statements above made."
Biblical Places.
While little has been written touch
ing the tombs of Palestine, there are
architectural, historical, uational, per
sonal and religious facts in connection
with them which should be studied
with great care before they utterly dis
appear. At present the Moslems hold
. the key to the Tomb of David and the
! secret of its exact location on Mount
, Zion. Bethel, eleven miles from Jeru
salem, is ruins of huts, on a ridge, cov
ering lour or five acres, a spot memora
ble for ever. This was the spot where
Abraham erected the second altar ever
built in Canaan, and where Jacob slept
and had his dream, and received the
name Israel. The ruin of the place was
predicted in these words : "Seek not
Bethel or enter into Gilgal, for Oilgal
shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel
shall come to naught." The ruins of
Bethel fulfill the prophecy. Bhiloh is
next, the region abounding in pictur
esque beauties,and being the spot where
the tabernacle of the Lord was first, set
up in Canaan, and where it remained
for more than two hundred years.
Shiloh, also, is now in utter ruin.
How the Indiana Climb Trees.
In South America even the weakest
woman may be, not uncommonly, seen
plucking the frnit at the tree tops. If
the back is so smooth and slippery that
they cannot go climbing, they use other
means. They make a hoop of wild
vines, and putting their feet inside they
use it as a support in climbing. The
negro of the west coast of Africa makes
a larger hoop ronnd the tree, and gets
inside of it, and jerks it up the trunk
with his hands, a little at a time, draw
ing hia legs up after it. The lahitian
boys tie their feet together, four or five
inches apart, with a piece of palm bark,
and with the aid of this fetter go up the
cocoa palms to gather nuts. The native
women in Australia climb the gum
trees after opossums ; where the bark is
iough they chop boles with a hatchet,
then one throws about the tree a rope
twice as long as will go around it, puts
her hatchet on her cropped head, and,
placing her feet against the tree and
grasping the rope with her hands, she
Eitohes it up by jerks, pulls herself up
the enormous trunk, almost as fast as a
man can climb a ladder.
The Mad Stone.
AM U|HN L.T> Hrlatrs ■ Mr* •)' 11.
A corrcsi>oudent writes from Oakland,
Oregon, as follows:
Heversl years ago I lived in northeaat
Missouri, and at that time had a son
aged at Hint six vears who waa bitten by
a rabid dog. The wound was att ugly
i one ttjsut the* arm, between the elbow
and the shoulder. We were greatly
frightened, as vou may imagine, and
were at a lo*s wliat antidote * to apply.
We had heard of two uiad stone* iu the
possession of a Mrs. Hardin, a lady
living at Council Bluff*, lowa. A* a
forlorn hope my hunband started I utter
these stones. He rode ou horseback
night and day, and returned from hia
tiii*aioii with the mad stouecou the tlflh
dav after the bite,
tYe had but little ooutldeuoo lu snob
remedie*. The wound had nearly
healed, and we were directed to shave
or scrape the surface about it slightly,
so that the pus would SUM out, but not
so that the blood would flow. We ap
plied one of the atone*, and, strange to
relate, it would seem to fasten itself to
the wound. For the first few days it
would remain upon the jwottud, absorb
ing all tlio ptts, or matter, which flowed
out, for about twelve honr* at a time,
and would then detach itself, and drop
off". After a time it took logger for the
(Hires to fill, and, consequently, the
atone would atiek for a correspondingly
greater period.
The last application was on the
thirteenth day after the bite, ami then
the stone Stuck fcr forty-eight hours,
and would adhere no lunger. After
each application we washed and
thoroughly cleansed the atone in warm
water. Gradually, a* the stone seetned
to draw the poison with the pus, it
made for itself a cavity in the arm,
sinking deeper at each application. At
last it had quite buried itself, and a
putrid aore formed, which had a very
offensive smell, hut which finally Leaf
ed. During the whole operation the
patient was quite siek, and grew very
pale and weak, hia whole nervous sys
tern seeming to be shattered.
He fully recovered at last, and never j
afterward manifested anv.aigus of the
malady resulting frota tiie bite. But
yon may inquire how we knew that the
dog wa* mail. 1 myself saw it manifest
all the symptoms of hydrophobia. It
was seen to bite two hogs, and both of
them became mad, one of them iu two
weeks and the other in three weeks.
We let thetn rave for a few days ami then
shot them.
The stone that we uaed wa* an inch
and a half long, half an inch in diame
ter, and of a light, gray color. It was
porous, resembling iu many ic*poets
pieces of coal that I have seen. Where
it wa* found 1 do not kuow, ner can I
give ita geological classification. Cer
tain it is it cured our boy, as my hus
band and other* can testify.

A Komautlr Stori.
At a short distance from Fort de
France, the seat of government of Mar
tinique, rise the celebrated hot mineral
spring* known as " Fontaine Chand."
These springs are said to possess great
curative properties. They flow in large
streams from the ground, and the
waters are conveyed to bathing-houses,
to which great number* of invalids re
sort. A romantic history is ootmeetcd
with this place. In the year 1837 the ,
springs were visited by a party, con
sisting of Mcnsienr, and Madame La
Rossare, Mile. Adele Monery, the maid
servant, and several other persons. One
day, while they were enjoying the bath,
and entirely unsuspicious of danger,
the embankment at the bead of tbe
springs, where the waters were confined
in a large reservoir, gave way, the tor
rent overwhelmed the bathing-houses,
and bore the inmates to destruction.
Among the victims was the beautiful
Mile, Adele. Tbis yonng lady con
sidered the most beautiful maiden on
the island, and we can uot refrain from
relating a story which illustrates the
power and fascination of her charms.
Her brother, who was engaged in ex
tensive commercial eutcrurise in Mar
tinique, suddenly fonnd himself in
volved, by the dishonesty of a man
with whom he was connected, in pe
cuniary difficulties, from which he was
unable to extricate himself, and be
failed for the large mm of one million
francs. Unable to make a true ex
hibit of bis tffairs without involving a
person whom he was unwilling to drag
befoie the public, he determined to
sacrifice himseif, and fled from the
island without attempting to justify
himself to his creditor*. Criminal pro
ceeding* were commenced against him.
He was summoned to appear at conrt,
and on his failure to do so, he was pro
nounced guilty, and sentenced to be
burned in effigy in tbe public square.
This sentence was carried into effect
His sister, the beautiful and fascinating
Adele, knowing him to be guiltless,
brooded long over tbe disgrace and
sorrow which had clouded the honor of
the family, and atlength she determined
to make an effort to clear her brother's
character. Obtaining an interview
with the governor, she sank npon bar
knees before him, and made an im
passioned appeal for clemency toward
the fugitive, who, she urged, had never
been heard in his own defense. Moved
by her beauty, her eloqnenee, and sis
terly devotion, the gallant old governor,
whoso heart was still young, gently
raised her from the ground, and prom
ised a fnll pardon for her brother if on
a new investigation it should appear
that he bad been too severely dealt
with. In a few weeks she bad the hap
piness to send her brother a full pardon,
and permission to return to the island.
N'or was the old governor oontent with
this simple act of justice. He gave the
yonng man s post of houor and respon
sibility under government, which he
held for many years. Bnt after the
tragical death of his sister his own life
was destined to end under a cloud. He
held a position in the Treasury, and on
one occasion, when required to prodnce
a large amount of gold, he discovered
to his horror that the money hail been
stolen from the vault in which it liail
been stored. Btnng to desperation, and
knowing too well that tht old story
would be revived, he shot himseff
throngh the head. A short time after
ward the real thief was discovered anil
brought to punishment. The memory
of the beautiful Adele and her un
fortunate brother is still tenderly cher
ished in Martinique.
Tiger Traps,
A writer in the London Tin if* tells
how they trap tigers in India, and de
scribes the trap in use in some parte of
the country. Strong posts are fixed in
the ground so as to form a circle of
pallisadcs ten or twelve feet in diame
ter. Another large circle is formed in
the same way ontaide the other, leaving
a space of a foot and a half between the
two. In the onter circle a small door in
made of a width eqnal to the space be
tween the cirrles. A geot or calf ia tied
to a post in the centre, and the doer is
opened, so that it stands across the
space between the circles. The tiger
comes and walks aroned the onter cir
cle till he finds the entrance. He
enters, and walks aronnd the space till
he meets the open door which be pnsltes
back into hia place. The apace is to#
narrow for him to tnrn round or exert
hia great strength, and he oontinnea to
walk round till morning, when he ia
easily killed, and the bait extracted un
hurt."
A PLACE WHERE AMERICANS ARE NOT.
—Joaquin Miller relates that, not long
ago, being in Geneva, he found the
town too full of his countrymen, and to
relieve himself of their presence he
drove to the nearest boat and went on
board. Boon the clerk came up and
asked him where he would be pleased
to go. The poet replied : " Monsieur,
take me to some place where there are
no Americans." The e'erk looked at
him for a moment, then hopelessly np
and down the lake, and away across
towards Mont Blanc, and at last shook
his head. Buddenly a new idea seemed
to strike him, and he lifted his eyes to
wards heaven !
" Tit* Barnacle ** at Washington.
There used to be a clerk in the Hog

For this brother, too, he was deter

" I have been to theat all," was the
answer.
" Hasn't yonr brother sufficiently re

Speculating Safely.
One of tlie favorite methods of specu
lating of tlie Rothschild* in ante-U-le
graph days was to notify their well
known brokers to sell a certain stock or
security. Every body on the Exchange
would lie aware they were selliug, and
as they invariably had the earliest in
formation, their action wonld have a
very depressing influence on the market,
The simple announcement, "The liotlia
childs are selling," let the security be
what it might, would pnt down the par
ticular seenritv from two to five per
cent. After tlie decline the brokers
wonld instruct their secret agents to
buy at the reduced price ; and the se
curity, suddenly disonverel to lie sound,
wonld mount to its old or perhaps to a
still higher figure.
They also set minora, afloat, as the
bnlla and bears of Wall street do, to
put down what they wish to buy, or
Cut up what they wanted to sell; and
aviug executed their purpose, the good
or two news of their invention would
fail to be confirmed. They have persis
tently denied that they were ever stock
jobbers, thongh it would be hard to tell
what they are if they are not such. They
have never been desperate gamblers on
the Exchange—they are too cool and
acute for that—they have never taken
great risks, but they have arranged
their programme with all tlie chaneea
on their side, and carried ont the pro
gramme to their entire advantage.
Chinese Method of RaLlng Mouejr.
Mr. W. Simpson, in a paper on
" Chin CHO Architecture," read before
ono of the English societies, describes
as follows the Chinese method of rais
ing money for the bnilding or repairing
of temples :
"In the streets of Peking I one day
fonnd a man in a sort of wooden sentry
box ; large nails hud been driven into
it, so that their points projected
through. This prevented the man from
leaning against the sides, and the only
rest he had was from sitting on a board
within, lie was a monk, and never
seemed to sleep, for he had a string
with which he night and day sounded a
large sonorous bell every few minutes,
as a sort of advertisement of his pur
pose. Tli is was, that the beuernleut
shonld come forward with money;
each nail represented a sum. When
any one pa'J that sum, his name was
stuck up on s bit of paper, and the nail
was pulled out, making it more com
fortable fur the hermit within. All the
nail* represented the necessary amount
for tho repair of a temple which was
close behind. This is a common pro
ceeding for raising the wind for snch
purposes. I was told that this monk
had beeii two years shut up, and that
he would likely be another year before
he got out of his eoooou of nails."
Flowers as Disinfectant.
Professor Mantegazza has discovered
that ozone is developed by certain
odorous flowers. A writer in Naturr
states that most of the strong smelling
vegetable essences, such as mint, cloves,
lavender, lemon and cherry laurel, de
velop a very large quantity of ozone
when in contact with atmospheric oxy
!;en in light. Flowers destitue of per
ume do not develop it, and generally
the amount of ozone seems to be in
proportion to the strength of the por
fnme emanated. Professor Mantegazza
recommends that in marshy dis
tricts and in places infested with
noxionß exhalations, strong-smelling
flowers should bo planted around the
house, in order that the ozone emitted
from them may exert its powerful ox
idizing influence. Ho pleasant a plan
for making a malarious district salubri
ous only requires to be known to be
put in praotioe.— Saturday Review,

MY OK. K. BHM.TON MAI KEN/IK.
Speculations aa to the origin uf
phrase* are very common. From time
to time I have received many luqnirien
on thin subject. To-day f ahall attempt
to answer a few of Uuim.
Bo common a piiraae an " Catehi* n
Tartar " ha* ita origin variously UiUni.
Oroec, the antiquarian, nays, that it oaiue
out of a atory of an Irish aoldier, IU
the Imperial service, alio, in a battle
against the Turka, called out to bis
comrade that he had caught a Tartar.
" Bring him along, then," waa Uie
won't come," answered Paddy.
" Then come along yourself," nan!
his comrade.
To which the Hibernian responded,
" Ati, hut he won't let tue."
This it alluded to in a recent work by
Professor Fttxgersld, entitled " Cau
tions for the Times," revised by Arch
bishop Whately, of Dublin, the grt-si
logician, in the sentcuoe, " We are like
the man who boasted of ' having caught
a Tartar,' when the fact was that the
Tartar caught him.'
The term is also applied by Charles
Dickens, in his story of " llaruaby
Rttdge." It may be remembered that
toward the close of that powerful ro
mance, one hue afternoon is mentioned,
on which Gabriel Varden, the jolly and
good-natured locksmith, is haviug tea
iu the little bark parlor, in company
with his buxom wife, his pretty little
daughter, and Joe Willet, her one-armed
betrothed, when, uuexpeetod, uninvited,
and unwelcome, that antique maiden,
Miaa Miggs, presents herself to the
company, sure of beiug re engaged as
Mrs. Varden' handmaiden. As she
gets the cold shoulder, Miggs becomes
saucy, pouring the vials of her wrath
upon the whole oompany, collectively
and individually. Her criticism upon
Gabriel Varden is conveyed in a rapid
succession of angry and sancy sen
tences, such ns " I have turrd the
neighbors make remark as sume one
they was acquainted with was s psor,
guod-uatur'd, mean spirited creeiur, as
went out (lahiug for a wife one day,
and caught a Tartar."
"Like a chip in porridge," meaning
a person or thing of small account or
nse, is a phrase that often turns up in
familiar cm vernation. Ouee, on enter
ing the wit news-be- 1, in a court of jus
tice, s persou summoned to give testi
mony said to the judge:
" i don't know why I am here, for I
am like * a chip in porridge.' I can say
nothing against the plaintiff."
The late Sir Charles Napier, a verv
brave soldier, and simply speaking sol
dier, ssid, in s general order to the Ben
gal army:
" The reviews which the commander
io-chief make* of the troops are not to
be taken as so many ' chips in por
ridge l*"
Many veam ago, at a contested elec
tion in England, one of the candidates
observed:
" It has been said that I liavo played
the game of Mr. Mclliah. I have, how
ever, done nothing toward his success.
I have rendered lum neither service nor
dis-serriee."
A iwureou in the crowd exclaimed:
" So, nor to anybody else. You're a
mere chip in porridge !"
The idea Wing that he waa utterly
inefficient- A bit of chip put into any
food, whether j>orridge, aoup or eauoo,
columnnie .tea uo flavor to it, and ia in
the MQC category with a man who ia
utterly unclean, ft ia a familiar, natural
anil intelligible comparison.
Putting the cart before the home i*
a well-known illustration. It can boaat
of great antiquity, having find been
quoted by Luciau, the great (ireeh
writer, nearly seventeen hundred years
ago. Francia Rabelais, the French
satirist and wit, whoae "Oargantua"
wan published in the rear 1533, has tlie
phrase, " He plaeed tlie carri igc before
tlio steed." So derivation of it ran be
given, but the manning ia
and refers to those who begin to do a
tiling at the wrong end.
"Fating humble pie"—meauiug that
the eouoeit shall lie taken ont of a per
son, that pride shall have a fall—is an
expression oft<-n used in conversation.
Tlie proper way of spelling the dish
would lie "humble pie," with the as
| pirate. It refera to a pie once more
common in England than it has been
for many generations. Two hundred
years ago, during the reign of Charles
11., the eondiiion of tlie people of Eng
land was so low thst, Lord M scan lay
says, wages were so low and nient "so
dear that hundreds of thousands of
families scarcely knew the taste of it."
Among the rich bilks, a venison pasty
was a favorite dish, bat the poor gentry
had to put up with a pie made of the
"ambles," or entrails of the deer, which
were the perquisites of the keeper. In
Ilailev's famous old dictionary, the
foundation of Johnson's great work, the
i word "nmble" is said to lie umbilicus,
the region of the intestines. If a person
who had afforded sneh a costly dish aa
• venison pasty were reduced to tho
meaner dish, it might be said that lie
was "eating nmble pie."
There are various derivations of the
term, " Mind yonr I"'s and Q's." It is
said to have arisen from the ancient
enstom of hanging a slate behind the
ale-house door, on which was written
P or Q—that is, pint or quart—against
the name of each customer, according
to tho quantity which lie hail drank, and
which was not expeeti d to be paid for
until the next Saturday evening, when
tin. wages were settled. Perhaps the
word tick, meaning rrxiit, mav also be
traced to this—a tick or mark being pnt
for every glass of alo.

The PoitDMtfr of Manassas, Ya.,
having resigned his position was asked
by the Department to recommend a
amiable person aa bin successor. Be
ing unwilling to reoommend'any one
without testing the desire of the peo
ple he ordered an election for the j>ur
jx>se. The voting waa withont refer
cnoe to party linea, and there were very
few of the w'ivea and daughters of the
prominent citizens of the village that
did not improve the first chance Vir
ginia ladies ever had to exercise the
righta of auflrage. The result of the
election WON much NA anticipated. A
larger vote was polled than waa ever
cast at any Presidential or Htate eon
test, and of the 828 votes east a yonng
lady by the name of Pine received 308
to her male opponent's 25.
A young man at Madison, Wisconsin,
who could not oolleot his wages from
his employer, owed a Hhylock merchant
$1.75. The latter commenced garnishee
proceedings against the employer, but
IU the meantime the young man called
at the merchant's store in his übsenee
and paid the $1.75. The costs of the
garnishee process was $3, which the
merchant was compelled to pay. He
wants to know what kind of a country
he lives iu where it costs $3 to collect
$1.75.
A genius is popularly supposed to be

The learned Illarksalth,
In his autobiography in "Ten Min
ute Talk," Klihn Hurritt tells how he
studied mathemnUoa. He conldn't
nff.ird tunc to attend achool, to he naed
to do certain problema "in hit head"
while hammeriug owsy ou his anvil.
Here is one of them " llow many

half an inch at each end for the Up,
would It require to reach from the cen

and how much would it all <*t at a

himself to make a single figure with
ckalk or charcoal in working out this
problem, and he would carry liunie to
his brother all the multiplications iu
hia head, and give them >*u to him and
his assistant, who took them down on
their slates, and verified and proved
each ssparate calculation, and found
the final result to be correct.

kind, but containing nothing that can offend tha moat delicate and scrupulous taste.

It Is a first-rate agricultural paper. The most fresh anfi" instructive articles on
agricultural topics regularly appear in this department.
It is sn independent political paper, belonging to no party and wearing no col
lair. It fights for principle, and for the .elactiop of the sett men to office. It es
