Improving Seed Wheat We have often insisted that if farm ers would take the same pains to save the largeet grains and heads of wheat for seed that they do to save the best ears of corn for seed, there is no reason why wheat should deteriorate by years of culture any more than corn. The following from a writer in the Jiural New Yorker, proves onr theory : Sow none but the largest aud most perfect kernels. It has been my practice for ine last sixteen or eighteen years to run my wheat for seed over a very coarse seed-screen, so as to sow none but the very largest kernels. By so doing have improved my wheat so that I have Bold nenrly all my wheat at hoiue for seed. But in 1871 1 hit upon a new plan. I had a piece of Tread well wheat that was injured by insects in the pre vious fall and killed by freezing in the winter, so that there were spots not worth cutting. After harvest I ob served a few scattering heads of unusual size. It occurred to me that there was wheat that had withstood the ravages of the insects and the rigor of the win ter. I gathered enough to sow one rod square, from which I realized twenty pounds or wneat oi unusually large even berry, which was at the ratio of over fifty bushels per acre ; last harvest had twenty bushels which weighed aizty-siz pounds per Dusiiel. it is my opinion mat we realize tne best crops irom tue uesi ana most perfect seed in the vegetable as well as the animal kingdom. Breeding Stock It is not au unworthy ambition for any larrner to cultivate to establish bv careful breeding and judicious crossing a breed of animals of his own of cattle, sheep or swine adapted to his locality and wants, filling his ideal of what his experience may have taught him a desirable animal should be for his locality. Of course in making such an effort he should study thoroughly tue diiierent existing breeds and have their merits and demerits well defined in his mind ; and the objects he is to attain by his breeding experiments should be equally well defined. But there is so little effort made to improve upon or retain the good qualities of our native breeds and yet add to them those desirable iu the imported, that we really have few or no -independent and original breeders that is, men with original ideas that have beeu for mulated from the generalizations of experience aud Knowledge of the need of this country, with its varied climates, soilH, aud conditions of animal growth, mere is a wide neid hero for some enterprising young American farmer to occupy.

There was a little incident in the See ond National Bank of Winona, Minn Dome time during the forenoon man called in and got some large bills exchanged. At noon, while the occu pants o; the bank, with the exception of Mr. William Garlock, Jr., were gone to dinner, a stranger entered and asked to see the manager, but on being in' formed that he was out, the stranger asked it lie could step into the three tors' room and wait for him. Mr. Gar lock didn't exactly like the idea, but consented, and the stranger stepped through the open door and took a seat iu the room, from which another door communicates with the interior of the bank. Presently another man came in ond was instantly recognized by Mr. Garlock as the one who bad the bills changed in the morning. He stepped to the counter and made a singular in quiry as to what a certain sum of money would amount to if deposited for a minor child of thirteen years, and left at compound interest for a term of years, which he stated. As this prob lem was propounded, the individual in the directors' room moved over to a chair commanding a view inside of the counter. Garlock in an instant sus pecting a ruse from the actions of the man, quietly took a revolver from a drawer and informed the individual at the counter that he had no time to figure on any such question, and the fellow dropped his bead and walked out. Singular enough, in a minute or two, the stranger in the directors' room also passed out. Garlock was present ed with a handsome new revolver by the directors of the bank. A Hint. To cleanse a oomfoit, tie it tip loosely and plunge it in scalding water for an hour or two, then spread it on the grass, and let the rain fall on it till it is thoroughly rinsed, and dry in the sun, turning it two or three times a day. Blankets are far more wholesome than comforts, and can be cleaned much more readily. In the coming civiliza tion of our race " comforts " will be unknown, . A Fearful Adventure, T Atn ft doctor livinar on twentv-third street, New York, and last winter I had fearful adverture witu a mamao, tne account of which I have not before made pnblio, from the fact that I have so shuddered to think of that night of horror that I have not before summon ed courage to recall the oiroumstanoes at the point of my pen ; but my nerves have grown stronger, and I give this to the publio as an evidence that truth, if not stranger than fiction, has at least a more fearful realization. The follow ing is the story: One stormy night in December, dur ing a visit of my family to Pongheepsie, was all alone, the servants even being away at a wake, or a wedding, when a ritig at the door-bell summoned me to the hall, and, on opening the door, was confronted by a large fine-looking man, well dressed, and of pleasing manners. " Good evening," said he, in a splen did voioe. "This is Dr. B- is it not?" "That is my name, sir," I replied blondly. " Will you walk in ?" " Thank you, sir," he returned, in a manner that showed him to be proficient in politeness. "Are you disengaged for the evening, doctor ?" " 1 am, said I. " I am very glad that you are, sir," he replied ; ""it gives mo au opportuni ty I have long desired of conversing with you upon anatomical science, with, perhaps, some practical illustra tions : and with this he followed me into my office and seated himself before tho comfortable grate. As he had apparently forgotten to leave bis hat on the rack in the hall, I requested him to take it off, and offered to carry it to the hall for him, aud while he rose to take it off it gave me a fine opportunity to observe his splen did physique. He was apparently over bix feet in height,and of musoular pro portions, a very Apollo in form, witn handsome, regular ferturea, a fine mus taohe, and luminous black eyes that at times had a wonderful glitter in them. " Who have I the honor of meeting ( said I, when I returned from the hall. "Ah I 'be replied, with a smile, "as to the honor, you are raising a question; as to the name, I am answering one in the card I have the honor of presenting to you. On a handsomely-written card I read the name, "John Dalhousie, M. D., No. 75 Lombard street, London," and immediately I entertained a higher feel ing of respect for my visitor, and at tached more importance to the visit. A lecture of mine upon anatomy had been read nnd favorably commented upon by the Board of Surgeons in Lon don, and I was vain enough to think that this had induced the visit ; so I extended all my hospitality to my visi tor, and placed before him wines and cigars, and we entered into an animated conversation, in which 1 found him well read and deeply versed in medicine and surgery, and the appearances were that I had more to learn from him than to impart. 1 noticed, as he sipped the wine irom time to time, that the gleam of his black eyes grew more intense, but I supposed this came from bis deep interest in the subject of our conversation, lie then proposed that we should go to my dis secting-room, which 1 had located on the top floor for the benefit of a fine skylight, and with pleasure I led the way, and lit a fire in the stove, which I always kept ready to touch off, so that we soon had a hot hre, and tne room warm, while I threw on a flood of gas light, which made the room brilliant. indeed. He examined my surgical and dissecting instruments, and his eyes glistened as he remarked how be stiould like an opportunity of using thorn, and I expressed my regrets that I had not a subject to place at bis disposal. He then told me he had an original plan for testing the strength of the human heart and its highest degree of pulsa tion, and if I would lie down upon the dissectiug-table he would practically demonstrate it to me. He said it would be best ts remove my clothing to the waist, so I stripped them off and-laid down upon the table. He then went to my head and leaned over me, and in moment, before I was aware of his purpose, be had my arms pinioned back with a rope that he had evidently taken out of lils pocket, with slip-noose all prepared. As he bound me more nrmiy, he told me that if I made a noise he would stab me to the heart. He then went to my feet and bound them firmly, and I had an opportunity of looking into his face : insanity gleamed from his eyes ; I saw that I was in the power of a maniac. Utterly helpless, I dared not make a noise, knowing he would kill me the moment I did. My agony of suspense was awful. What was he going to do? He took up my dissecting instru ments, and his eyes gleamed with fiendish delight. All hope died in my breast ; I saw his purpose. He said to me, with a demoniacal laugh that made my blood run cold, as if freezing in my veins : " Ah, doctor, you regretted not hav ing a subject for dissection at my dis posal j you see how asily I have se cured one. It is my old plan of securing living subjects ; I like to operate on them best, and study the vitality of each particular part of the human body, and how long life will last under dis section of any one of its parts." "My God I I exclaimed, in my agony j " you are not going to dissect me alive ?'' "Why, certainly I am," he said, with a laugh. " You owe that much to Rcience. You know Paul said, ' though I give my body t j be burned,' and sure ly you can give yours to be cut up. You have passed your age of useful ness, and have drifted into the old-fogy ideas ; you are not a progressionist as am ; you belong to the old school, which, like the Bourbons, never learns anything and never forgets anything, and it is better for you to be anatomized than fossilized ; fossils are nothing to science, anatomy is everything. "But," said I, in the most appealing voioe, "my dear sir, we owe something to humanity as well as to science ; we owe something to hospitality. Remem ber you are my guest ; I have treated you kindly and well ; you surely cannot violate my hospitality thus. Think of my wife and dear little ones, who would return to a home of desolation if you were so cruel." For a moment his'eyes softened, and hope rose in my breast ; but be looked at my keen instruments again and the gleam came back to him, and I felt as one might feel in the power of a lion.as he replied : " Soience, my dear doctor ; science is everything. All lesser considerations must give way to science. Our mar riage and domestio relations in this life are, after all, but demonstrations of scienoe." He then took the poker and stuck the end of it in the red hot stove. What horrible torture was he preparing for me I O, heavens I could nothing move this maniac from bis bobby of soience ? " You see, doctor," he said, " I am studying the human heart and its vital forces, and you can understand how neoessary it is that life exist in it for tho purposes of a satisfactory investiga tion. I am now heating this poker to a white heat, and I shall slowly approach your heart with it, and particularly note its pulsations, until, by plunging the hot iron into it, it ceases to beat. Ah. that will be a splendid triumph for . i-r 1 41 - sctenoe. riarvey aiscovereo uie circu lation of the blood, but he never ran a red-hot iron itto a living human heart." It was the awful moment of all my existence when he drew that iron from the fire at a whita heat and began slow ly descending its point to my naked breast ana neart, wnicn would soon cease to beat, as the white-heated, hiss ing iron would be burried in its quiver ing valves. O, my reader, may you never have such a moment of intense agony, not even when you rise on the morning of that last day. "Ah, me," said he, suddenly, "I had forgotten a most important part of the investigation. Have you a pulsimeter ? I desire to note the exact pulsation of your heart." A ray of hope lit up my soul at this inquiry, as a slender chance of salva tion presented itself, just as drowning men catch at straws, and I replied : " Yes, doctor, you will find a very fine one in that closet to the right ; the door has a combination lock ; turn the knob three times forward and twice backward, and it will be unlocked. You will find the pulsimeter on the upper shelf." In this closet I had a wonderful skele ton, so arranged with strong springs and connection with the door and lock, that any one opening the door by the knob would be caught in the arms of the skeleton, and held with an iron grasp, so that no man of ordinary strength could break away. The maniac placed the iron again to the stove to regain its white beat, and went to the door, turning the knob as I had directed him. In my young days I had practiced ventriloquism, and just as he opened. tne door and the skeleton grasped him in its cold, deathly em brace, I threw my voice into its rattling jaws and exclaimed in a sepulchral tone : "Ah, my fino fellow, I have you at last, have 1? One by one I gather you in 1 Come with me. I'll give you some practical demonstrations of science." With an unearthly yell of terror he broke away in his great strength from the skeleton, and with a deathly fright in his formerly gleaming eye he rushed witn streaming hair down the steps, and the slamming of the front .door came faintly up to me, and then I knew uo more until tho servant girl came home, and, searching for me, found me tied upon my dissecting table, from which she rescued me, and I slowly re covered from the fearful nervous strain. About one month after this occurrence I saw an account of a body having been found in tue water at one of the East River docks. The inquest was " Death by drowning," supposed to be acciden tal or suicidal. The body was taken tc the Morgue for recsgnition. The de scription attracted my attention ; I went to see it, and requested that if not re- cognized and claimed I might have the body for the disseotiug room, as it was such a fine specimen ; and I now have in my room the magnifiont skeleton of Joiin Uailiousie, ju..

A confidence man tells hows stran gers are taken in New York as follows : "Having all things ready," he sayo,"we go on our 'graft.' We always go to one of thoflrBt-classhotels.flnd we never pick up the wrong man. There is no trouble in telling strangers from city men. It isn't because they stare at the store win dows and eigne, for lots of city men do that ; nor is it always their dress, for sometimes the countryman swaggers along in the latest style, But there is always something about him he can't disguise which says he's a stranger, and it s almost as certain that he shows whether he's crot money or not. jnow suppose you and 1 are on tne Kraft. Nobody, though, sees us speaa to each other or in any wav recognize one another, but for all of that eaoh of us keeps a sharp watch on the other, Maybe.well hang around an hour or two without finding a sucker. Some' times we don't find one at all. If we do find him I give vou a signal you under stand to watch sharp. I then keep my eve on the sucker until be goes into the Btreet. 1 step briskly up in front oi him as if I bad just turned up, and hold out my hand with great cordiality, saying: 'Sly dear Dr. Smith, lm de lighted to see you. When did you come to town ? flow did you leave an tne folks iu Zanesville?' I say all this so quickly that the suoker hasn't a chance to open his moutn until 1 get inrougn. Even then he isn't usually very fast about it. You see I'm a person of gen tlemanly appearance and address, and the sucker don't know at first exactly what to make of it all. When he does recover from bis astonishment of course he says bis name isn't Smith. General ly, he is very stiff about it. and says very grandly :' Sir, you are mistaken; I am not Dr. Smith. Sir.' "men comes the finest point in our lit tle game. It used to be that the sucker would always follow this up by giving his name and place of residence, but lately it has to be wormed out of them in most cases. If he don't give it, why 1 say : Kaally, I beg your pardon, sir ; l would have sworn you were ur, Smith ; never saw such a striking re semblance in my life. Now. really, sir. if it's not asking too much, I would like to know your name, so that I may tell ur. Hmith, the next time I see him, who his double is.' This always fetches the sucker. He gets friendly all at once, and says : Certainly, sir. I am Mr, Thomas Brown, of Brownsville, Texas, or whatever it maybe. That s all we want to know. 1 beg pardon, ond turn away while he goes oil, and, in a tmn- ute, has probably forgotten all about me and Dr. Smith. Now, you have been standing near all the time, and heard him give his name, or, if you cidn t, you push ag.tinst me by accident like, and 1 tnrow it at you in a sou whisper without attracting any attention from the bystanders. Then you go off in an ordinary way. If the sucker has gone up street, you go down half a block or so, and then cross over. You've taken particular notice of his features and dress, so that you can't mistake your mau. As you go down, you look at a list of national banks you always carry in your pocket, and get the name of the President or Oashier of a bank in the town. When you get on the other side of the street you walk up briskly, keep ing your eyes sharp all the time, lou pass him, and when you get about half a block above him you cross over and walk down street and meet him. When you come up to him you stop an oi a sudden ; then you seize mm by tne hand, which you shake like an old friend and say : Why, my dear Brown, I'm delighted to see you. How are all the folks in Brownsville ?' You must be particular about the last, for it's that which always gets the sucker. But you musn't give him a chance to speak yet ; lor you see be don't know you how could he, when he never set eyes on you otilore and you say: "Xsow that s too bad ; 1 see you don t know me.' Why, I am Jones, nephew of Ephraim Jones, Cashier of the national bank in your town. Don t you remeni' ber when 1 was at your place ? J. was a youngster then but I remember you perfectly.' All this goes to make you 1 solid with the sucker; if you are the nepnew of a liauk Cashier you must be somebody, and if you have carried him in your mind so long vou must be a clever fellow. But he is forced to say that he don't remember you, and you think it's too bad that be should have forgotton you so entirely. But you am determined he shan t do it again for now you ve met him once more you'll give him cause to remember you, which you are pretty sure to do, but not in the way be thinks. You ask him to take a drink, and teu to one be does it, for these suckers are nearly always ready to drink at somebody else s ex penso. If be goes into the bar-room with you your 'graft is easy after that: if be don't you propose a cigar, and if be dou t smoke you insist it s lunch' time, and you drag him off with you, wuei ever you take him you open'on him at once. You do all the talking. for it won't do to give him a chance. except to answer questions, so that you may nave the 'olhue as to las business. family, friends, and all that, so that in a little time you know almost as much about him and the place where he lives as he does himself. Then you get to talking about yourself, and you always make it appear that you ve been a won derful lucky fellow, and very soon the man has so much confidence in you that you can easily rope him into any little game you have, and his money is yours. The Church of England, A clergyman in Wales has been preaching very strongly against the practice of purchasing church livings, He said that 6,600 parishes in England were thus made a subject of bargain and sale, and be added: " You see how it is that parishes are saddled with incumbents who are thoroughly unfit for their office.

These cards disappeared with wonderful ra pidity, so much so that the doctor had ins suspicions aroused that ins new boy was using them up in a clandestine manner. " Jo," eaid the doctor, one morning, " what has become of those cards which I placed on the table in the outer office?" I took 'em," replied the boy, proudly. "What have you done with them ?" demanded the doc tor. " Well, my mother told me before left home that I must make myself useful to my employer, and so most every day when I haven't anything else to do I just throw them into tho horse cars as they passed the corner." The scene that followed cannot be described, but after tearing out two handfuls ot his own hair, the doctor took one grab at the red head of the enterprising lad, and nearly scalped him. Thus it was that the well-meant endeavors of the voung man to promote the interests of Lis employer were rewarded. Success Based Upon Merit.
