Immersing the lower ends of fence posts In hot-coaV tar will "preserve tho outside foe years, hut It "very "frequently happens that In using small trees from four to eight Inches In diameter tho heart wood Is the first to decay.- Tills often occurs with chestnut' posts that aro set bofore they aro thoroughly sea soned. To -prevent this decay at tho center, ns well ns of all that part of tho poit placed below the ground, by-the uso- of wcod preserving solutions, my friend and neighbor, J. J. Suckcrt, I'll. D., suggests a system which strikes me as being not only-novel," but exceedingly al liable, as well. It Is to havo a" hole in the Centre of the post, frorii tho bottom upward, to a point mat snail be aiiovc the ground when tho post Is in position." Then boro another hole. In the sldo of the-post with a slight inclination down ward, making an opening in the centre hole, which will allow freo passage. A wooden plug, two or thrco Inches long, should be driven snugly into tho hole at the bottom of the post, In onler to pre vent the escape ol.any liquid that may bo used In the "operation. How when the posts aro set In an upright position, preservative solution. may bo intro duced into tho holo in the sido and tho ccntcr-ono filled with It, after which a cork or plug of some kind should be inserted in tho side hole to prevent evaporation, as well as to keep out dust and Insects. The solutions thus intro duced will gradually be absorbed by the surrounding wood, until all parts along the entire length of tho central .cavity must become completely saturated When tho solutions used havo been taken up by the surrounding wood, it will only be necessary to withdraw the cork, or plug, and apply more, if It is thought desirable. A common watering pot with a slender spout will be a handy vessel to use In distributing the solutions'. Petroleum, creosote, corrosive subli mate, or any other of tho well-known wood preservatives may be used In this way. Telegraph posts might be pre pared In the same way, and if the central reservoir wcro kept filled with petroleum, they would last a hundred years or more. Where a largo number of posts or poles aro to bo prepared, it would be- cheaper to have the holes bored by steam or horse power than by hand. With very open and porous wood it Is quite prob able that a hole bored in the side of the post and above the ground, and deep enough to hold a half pint or more of creosoto or some similar solution, would answer, but I think a central cavity reaching to the bottom would be best, A.

Probably "hut few who admire tl e largo, velvety, dark-crimson crests of tho cockscomb, aro aware that these are due to a malformation which has become fixed by ' cultivation. These combs or crests are sometimes of enormous size; soino ocn have' 'measured eighteen Inches across. They show no distinct flowers. It not rarely happens that the parts of a plant,that arc usually distinct and separate, grow together; It Is not rare to find twin cucumbers, formed by two which aro united for their whole length. This union often takes place with stems. Squash vines arc some times found grown together for some distance, and a similar growth is often seen In the asparagus. The Cockscomb, Cclonia cristata. is an annual, a native of the East Iwdlcs. and in its normal slate produces numerous erect branches, terminated In time bv long spikes of flowers. Tho numerous flowers Hum selves aro small, and not at all showy, but aeli has at Us laso several bracts, or loral leaves, which arc highly colored. These aro usually dark-crimson, but here aro white, yellow, and rosc-colorcd varieties. In the form cultivated as 'ockscomb, the stems and blanches arc mitcd and soldered together, as It were, nto a coufusscd mass, which Is some lines very wavy on tho top. In tho branching form, only the Cowcri on tho lower portions of the branches are fertile; accordingly those 'on the lower parts of thu crest only, produce sccdr. t'he velvety .texture, of tho crests is caused by. tho .ends. .of. the -numerous bracts that appear - at tho surface. Though, these crest? .are : monstrosities, he peculiarity Is well llxcd. This is ono of tho oldest of gard.cn .plants, hav ing been cultivated in English gardens for over thrco hundred years. Tho variety known as Japanese, Is peculiarly rich, in color. To-raiso the largest crests, and of tho most brilliant color, the- soil must ba excessively rich. Tho finest And largest specimens- are produced by growing the plants hi pots, and shifting them Into larger pos tts"thcy need It iliii. Agriculturist: Mora thin a million. Nnw Qn'tEANa, 'La.

Cangbt a Severe Cold in Jerusalem. On a west-bound Michigan Central train the other day wcro a delicate ap pearing young woman and an intelligent looking young man, evidently husband and wife. Immediately behind the couple sat the mau to be found on every train who would die If not per mitted to hear the sound of his own voice at all times and in all places. Tho young lady had a troublesome- cough, a fact which seemed to bother the talking machine behind her greatly. At last ho leaned forward and addressed her escort: "That gal's got a bad cough." "Yes." "Ever try catnip tea?" "Sho hasn't drank anything else for more than 200 years. Sho caught severe cold In Jerusalem in 1C08. 1 had fifty barrels of catnip tea put into the baggago car for her to use between hero and Chicago. (Pause.) "Lungs?" "No, bunions. That's purely a bunion cough, yon will notice, if you watch her closely. 'Ain't the draft a lectio strong from that window?'1 after a long pause. "No, sho has to have It.

"Did you ever know how Booth passed the pickets on the bridge on the eastern branch of the Potomac that fatal night?" said my friend. I will tell you as it was told to me by the old sentinel who was that night on duty there. A half hour before the time agreed upon by Booth to meet Harold the latter, who had lived in the neighborhood of the bridge all his life, and who was across the river in the little village of Uniontown then, crossed tho bridge to come over on tho Wash ington side. 'Who coes there?' said the sentinel on the bridge. 'A friend, going for a doctor,' replied Harold. 'Pass,' said the sentinel. Ho quickly rode up Eleventh street to Pennsylvania avenue and Eighth street, and thcro in the dark ness waited until tho thundering hoofs of Booth's horse were heard coming down Pennsylvania avenue. Tho two horsemen then started down Eightli street toward tho bridge on that rldo for their lives, which ended In Garrett's burning barn In Virginia, a hundred miles away. 'Who goes there?' wng out on the air from tho startled scrlry as the two horses camo rushing toward tho bridge. Harold was ahead and cried out, 'A friend, with tho doctor.' The two men passed over the bridge, end it was perhaps several hours after the reverberations of tho horses hoofs died away beforo the sentry knew who the iperv In such a hurry -really were, and when ho found it out ho was nearly scared lo death for fear ho had failed to do:hlsjUity." . .
