A Maine farmer is reported as nutting the -"-ase alius tUrongly in fa vor of the abolition of fences : "If I lial iny way I wouldn't Lave a fence on the tarm. There are over C4.0O0 farmera in Maine. Their farms have an aggregate over 42.0iJ0,(XX) rods of fence, or rising 131.UU0 miles. This is outside of ornamental fences, and does not include some 2,000 miles or more of railroad fencing. There are 11,01X1 rods of highway fences, 1G,HJ,1!00 rods of partition fences, and ioiue 15,000,000 rods of division fences. Ei-ti mating; the cost of these fences at 81 tr rod, and that would I think he a fair estimate, and the total cost of fences in Maine is over ti2,W,Mf). This is nearly as much as all the farms and their buildings are worth. It is more than twice and a half the value of all our live stock, and nearly as much as the en tire capita! of the State invested in manufactures. We have no means of verifying the rtatktic, here presented, but it ia fair to presume that they are measurably correct The immense eavirg to agriculture that would fal low the removal ot fences, as sug- ostid in the forefroine remarks, is purely a matter worthy of consider ation. A work of this kind has been anii. i on for some vcars in small towns and villages where front yard fences have been discarded, and of ten the rear and side fences as well. In most States the laws in regard to cattle and other animals found at large, if enforced, are suQicient to protect unenclosed grounds from depradations from this source. If it came to be the general practice to trust to these laws entirely and promptly punish violations of them it would soon be quite unnecessary to go to the expense of building fences around lawns and gardens. The expense of keeping cattle iu bounds, or compelling tnetu to be kept there, would be insignificant iu comparison with the amount spent in building fences mainly for the purpose of protection. While it seems idle to talk of dispensing with fences altogether, it appears as though it would be entirely practi cable to do away with them except for the purpose of limiting the range of domestic animals, if the grazing lands, yards and pens for cows, sheep, etc., were securely guarded there would seem no longer any need of division and highway fences nor of partition fences intended merely as such. The farms in many parts of the country are divided up to a much greater extent than is nec essary in any case. In places where the ground is very etony, about the only way to dispose of the surplus rocks and cobbles is to build them in walls, and this may sometimes afford a sufficient excuse for cutting up a farm into a great numlier of small enclosures. Hut whete such reasons are apt to be adduced, it ap pears like a waste of time and labor to divide up a small farm into three and five and ten acre lots. It costs money to obtain the material and put up the fences ; it costs to keep them in repair.and last but not least it costs time and labor to let down and put up a pair of bars every few rods in going from one part of the farm to another. And then there is a waste of land that always goes with fences. If the farmer who computed the statistics we have quoted had added to them the amount, in acres, of land rendered useless by the proximity of fences, and thus practically withdrawn from the area of tillable soil, the results of his computation would have bean still more astonishing. Especially bo would they be in a district where the zigzag rail fences are still in use. But even with the best construction and the most skill and care in culti vation, there is always a wide bor der of land along every fence that is practically wasted. And to these items are to be added the trouble and annoyance of cultivating small enclosures, the diflicuity of plough ing them properly, following all the turns and sharp comers, and the damage to such crops as corn and po tatoes that is almost unavoidable where the rows are short and crook ed and the pluming done close up to the fences. When a horse culti rator is used in such small fields the growing crop must always suf fer more or less dan: age by tramp ling. Other reasons than these might be given why fences are often a positive loss to the farmer and a great hindrance to the successful cultivation of his land. Without go ing bo far as to Bay, with the Maine farmer that fences should be discard ed altogether, it certainlv seems as though it would be a measure of wisdom and economy to hare as few ot them as possible and restrict their use mainly to enclosures for stock and gruiug purposes, ' MaaoM Biota.

A convenient plan is to strain the tea and add bay rum in the proportion of one-third rum to two-thirds tea. The rum keeps the liquid from spoiling in warm weatner.

On a lonely little island called Memaloose, in the Columbia River, sixteen miles below the Dalles and about one hundred from Portland, Oregon, lie bleaching the bones of thousands of Wasco and Kilckitat Indiana The island, further back than reaches the memory of the old est pioneer, has been a burial place for these tribes. Boxes of bones and grisly skeletons, lying prone up on the ground, may be seen on ev ery band. Uere Mulatowack, Pow ensha, and other chiefs sleep their last sleep. On the death of any of the Indi ans they are wrapped in their finest blankets, adorned with trinkets and trappings, and wafted over the wa-t-r in rjinoes to the inland. OU the surface of which they are placed and left face upward. Here tney remain in the open air until the wind and rain md birds of prey have done their work, and the bones lay ghast ly aud white. Then they are gath ered and dumped miscellaneously into boxes, some of which hold a bushel, while in others a cord can be stowed. In these sarcophagi they are supposed to remain until the last trump sounds. But, as a matter of fact, every young doctor and every collector of fossils, ambitious to in crease the size of his cabinet, hies himself thence for a skeleton. Still, there are bones to spare. A strange freak was that ot ictor Trevett, a talented man of the Dal les, who had held some ot the tiigu- er offices in Oregon. lie died about a year since, prior to wnicn he maae an earnest request to be buried on this desolate, rock-ribbed island. II is are the only remains of a white man interred there. Ghosts are now said to flit to aud fro among the dome-like rocks, striking terror to the lonely boatmen and the few gardeners along the banks of the Columbia. They tell hhiud -curdling stories of having seen several times, just after nightfall, the form of a wan looking white man, arrayed in white, striding hith er and thither among the skeletons, and of the ghostly form of a stal wart Indian astride a black pony, galloping among the outstretched hones and bodies. Judge O. S. Sav age, oi aseo county, is reyuncu, among others, as having at divers times seen glimmering lights and and wif rd forms among the trees and rocks there. Ts.e people in the vicinity hive grown so superstitious of the spooks of Memaloose Island that they can not be persuaded to visit after night fall. If obliged to do so during the day, each carries with him an ar mory to defend himself against the hobgoblins. What with wierd lights, dark shadows and romping spook.?, the lonely island has grown more dreadful than the traditional locali ty of the Witch of Endor. Health Hints. Only a small quantity of cither food or drink should be given to a sick person at a time. A clean newspart-r often renewed makes a better table cover for a sick roorj than cloth. Common baking soda is the best of remedies in cae of scalds and burns. It may be used on the sur fice of the burned part either dry or moistened. The French method of adminis tering castor oil is to pour the oil in to a pan over a moderate fire, break an egg into it and stir it well ; when it is done flavor it with a little salt or sugar or currant jelly. The IL diral Journal states that a few handfulls of common salt scat tered daily into closets, aud an occa sional handful thrown into basins, goes far toward counteracting the noxious effects of the omnipresent sewer gas. A little daily change in the ar rangement of the furniture, a little planning for such pleasant surprises as an invalid can bear in the way of food, company and amusement, will often be more effectual in hastening the convalescence of a patient than a score of tonics. An agreeable dish for an invalid's tea can be prepared by toasting dry crusts of bread in a moderate oven until they are brown. .When cold pound them in a mortar until reduc ed ta a coarse meal, then sift it through a flour sieve into a dish. Serve with milk, or cream and su gar, if desired. To Check Bleeding. The natural process by which the flow of blood is checked iB the for mation of a blood-clot, which plugs the orifice of the divided vessel. When an artery isdivided the cut end retracts or shrinks so that the for mation of a clot is facilitated, but the blood-current is so strong that unless loss of much blood has di minished the force of the circula tion, that it binders the coagulation. It should, therefore, be the aim of an assistant to check or 6top the flow of blood from the artery in or der that the beginnings of clot-formations may not be swept away by the current. This may be accom plished by pressing upon the orifice of the vessel in the wound, or bv pressing the edges of the wound to gether, or in cases where this is not easy and efficient, by compressing the artery which supplies the part from which the hemorrhage is tak ing place in some part of its course between the heart and the injury. The main arteries supplying the bead lie in the neck, one on each Bide of the windpipe, where their i pulsations may be readilv felt. In case of a wound of an artery in the I neck Uie cut ends of the vessel should be compress with the finger, if possible, or the artery, both below and above the wound, should be pressed firmly against the backbone. Unless skilled surgical aid can be speedily obtained, there is little hope of saving life in case these great vessels are wounded. t Stand Up, Yoang Ma a. The young man who was raised a pet is becoming a nuisance. He is seldom of any good. What is want ed now-a-days is a practical man who can do something else besides smoke cigarettes and twist a cane. The time to learn to work and to learn business habits is in one's youth. He who leads the life of a butterfly until he is twenty-five or thirty years of age and then recog nizes the fact lhat he has made an ass of himself, has precious little to recommend him when he applies for a job. This may be a chestnut, but it fits not a few young men of every city of the Union. The boys at the Reform Farm are better off, if they only knew it, than thousands of the boys who are at large. There is nothing like being practical, and there is but one way to be so, and that is to be so. Acquire business habits and train yourself to good, honest, hard work. Don't waste your time learning to tie a cravat; you can buy one already tied. 1 Thing Wortb Remembering, That a hot bag of Band relieves neuralgia. That warm borax water will re- move dandruff.

A Sea Bat. Some years ago some devil-fish appeared in a harbor where several schooners were lying, and the sail ors, who were Swedes, and had never seen one of the fish before, saw them playing around in the harbor, and thought it would be a good joke to spear one. So they took a light skiff and a pair of old whale harpoons and ropes that belong to the schooner and started out, and were joined by the other boats. In a short time one of the boats got alongside of a sea bat, and a rouser it was too. W hen they struck it you'd have thought the whole bot tom bad been hit, and a second later that boat was rushing ap the har bor at a rate she never went before. It was a blind lead, though, and the fish had to turn, and the skiff was jerked around so quickly that she hall filled, and one man was turn bled overboard. Up the channel they went, some veiling for the boat and the others to cut the line as it was evident that she would fill in a moment : but it happened that the only man who had a knife had been dropped over board, and as they couldn't get the lino untied they had to let it go. They 6aid afterward they were about to jump overboard and let every thing go, when the fish changed its course and headed right for one of the schooners. They had to jump then, anyhow, and, as they went overboard, the fish dived under the vessel, and the 6kiff struck her side with a crash and was knocked all to pieces. The end plank, as they found out later, to which the line was made fast, went off with the fish. The men were picked up and two days later the devil-fish floated ashore. It measured about eighteen- feet across and was estimated to weigh a ton. New York Sun. Robbing a Stage Coach. Helena, M. T., August 31. The Marysville coach was stopped by two highwaymen about eight miles out of Helena on Saturday, and the treasure box, containing about 812, 000 in bullion from the Drumlum mon mine, taken. The passengers were relieved of their valuables. One of the robbers had given the plot away to officers, and when the treasure box was being broken open the Sheriff and a posse captured the robbers and recovered the booty. The passengers were made to stand in line at the muzzle of a gun held 1 ... oy one oi me nignwaymen while ttie otner on went through them in lue oiu-iasnioueu manner. The prisoners are named Jackson and Gordon. Gordon will be re leased and get the reward of $G00. Jackson has served several terms in the California Penitentiary for stage robbing. He claims that Gordon has worked the same scheme before giving away plota for robbery and getting rewards. Tomato Soap. Take one quart of tomatoes, one pint hot water, a tablespoonful of sugar, one teaspoonlul of salt, four cloves, four peppercorns, one table spoonful of chopped parsley, one tablespoonful of butter, two" table spoonfuls of flour. This is a soup without stock. The tomatoes are first put on with the hot water, the sugar, salt cloves, peppercorns and onions, and let it Btew till all is soft enough to strain. It will require from fifteen minutes to half an hour. A little sugar is always a good thing in tomato soup, not to give it a sweet taste, but to take off the edge of the acid. Add the parsley to the soup. Put the butter and flour together as for white sauce ; add to the soup, let it cook a moment, straind and serve. Corn, starch may be used instead of flour, one half the quanti ty being necessary. " Strain at once in a bet tureen and serve. A pair of panto Two tired legs. General Grmat'a Reticence. He was never a secretive man un til the position of responsibility in which he was placed compelled him to be chary of giving expression to hiB opinions. He then learned the force of the phiiosopner s maxim that the unspoken word i a eword in the scabbard, while the spoken word ia a sword iu the hands of one's enemy. In the held there were constant visitors in camp ready to circulate any intimations of the commander's movemenU, at the risk of having auch valuable information reach the enemy ; in the White House, every encouraging expression to an appli cant for favors was apt to be tortur ed into a promise, and the President naturally became guarded in his in iKxxm with teneral visitors. If ones, toned be von d the bounds of propriety, his lips closed like a vice, and the obtruding party was left to supply all the subsequent conversa tion. These circumstances proclaim ed him a man who studied to be uncommunicative, and gave him a reputation for reserve which could not fairly be attributed to him. He was called tho "American Sphinx" and "Ulysses the Silent," and he was BODuIarlv supposed to move about with sealed lips. When accompanving him through New England the summer after the close of the war, it was soon seen that the stories of his reticence had nreceded him.

As the General stood in 'the doorway of the rear car, a tall, gaunt-looking woman elbowed her way through the crowd till she got near the platform. Here she stopped and put on a pair of spec tacles with glasses in them that look ed about as big as the lenses in large telescopes, and taking a good look at the General, eaid, gasping for breath as she spoke, "Well, I've come down hyere a-runnin' right on the clean jump, nigh on to tew mile, juit to get a look at the man that lets the women do all the talkin'." UarjH'r't Mag, for Sept. Muakea Barred the Exit. A party of Northerners who have been prospecting for minerals near Chularinee, Ala., report the findin by them of a remarkable cave, and give a graphic account of their meet ing with the inhabitants of the cave The entrance to the cave is near the head of a small ravine, about one mile from the Tallapoosa River, and is barely large enough for one per son to enter at a lime. The party en tered the cave at 4 p. M..and spent to hours in exploring it. The cave is about 400 feet in length, vaiying in width from ten to sixty feet, with an average height of 15 feet, and is dimly lighted throughout by small fissures in the rocks extendidg from the roof to the ground above. When the explorers were about to leave the cave they were terrified at finding the exit blocked by a writh ing mass of big rattlesnakes. The noise made by the party had doubt less roused the snakes from their hiding-places among the rocks, and they had gathered in large numbtrs near the entrance. Deeming discre tion the better part of "alor the par-, ty retreated to that part of the cave most remote from the entrance to wait for the snakes to return to their hiding-places. The explorers were compelled to remain in the cave un til morning. Soon after dark one of the party struck a match to light a cigar, and after lighting it threw the still burning match on the bottom of the cave. He was startled at see ing a bright flame flash up from the the rock where the match had fallen, which rose to the height of four feet, burning brightly all night, and was still burning when they left the cave. A small fissure could be seen in the rocks beneath the flame, and the supposition is that a volume of nat ural gas was escaping through this fissure. Daylight came at last to the great relief of the explorers, the en tire party having remained awake all night. Going forward to the en trance of the cave tney found that the snakes with the exception of one or two, had gone back to their hiding places. Those that remained were quickly dispatched with stones, and the explorers made their exit from the cave in safety. Yonng Italian found Mardered. Scranton, Pa., Aug. 29. A mur der was discovered by D. O'Brien in an eastern suburb of Scranton, this afternoon. In a clump of lau rels near where O'Brien was passing the dead body of a young Italian was found. The head had been crushed by a number of stones, sev eral of which lay on the ground near a pool of blood about twelve feet from the body. The throat had been cut also. The coat which was under the man's head showed that he had been dragged into the bushes by the heels after life had left. In one of his pockets was a letter ad dressed to Andrea Giacomino, which is supposed to be the dead man's name. Everything goes to show that Giacomino, while going from the city to a place on the Erie and Wy oming v alley rail ro id with two or three companions, had been mur dered by them.

Mechanical lorms are common for that purpose, and moti of our rich customers keep them with us, but they are not so good as a living model, which can change her position, walk about, sit down, and in other wavs demon strate perfectly the effect of the rai ment under process of making. Mrs. Yanderbilt will not endure the fa tigue of the thing herself.even when in town, and it was her own sugges tion that a duplicate of herself be employed. On her order we sought and found a perfect counterpart a girl who was working in a cloak-shop con nected with our business and she has served in lieu of Mrs. Yander bilt for nearly a vear. Not onlv in dimensions is she suited to the re quirements, but in movements and carriage she is wonderfully like her employer; and so it is possible for the latter to see herself in the mat ter of dress.
