! - I . I l Subsoil Plowing. Subsoil p'.owibp, hu:h by many is considered fc. ureatly im;roviE(r the chances for a crop, has ceverU:le as yet not come into anything like general nsa in farm r.rsclicp. This arises, no doubt, from tbe fact that the benefit to be derived irom it are not common to all soils, and also larpely to the double caet of preparation which subsoiling implies. The theory is that it is beneficial in both dry and wet eaoc8 in the former by creating a eort of res rvoir fr water in the loosened soil below the ordinary fur row against a time of need, w ten the plant way be eoclied with moisture through capillary attraction that would otherwise Lave drained off from the sur face ; in a wet season thruun a breaking up of the subsoil, which allows an exceas from rainfall to pas- downward, where it would otherwise regain too long on or near the suri-ce, to the irj::ry of the plants. Whatever view may be taken of these proportions, it may safely be said that its advantages, or the opposite, cannot in all cases be predicted without putting it to the test of actual experiment on the f rin iteelf. In discussing this subject in a monthly report of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture, Mr. M. Motler.the secretary, recommends the following easy method of deteruiinio? whether subsoiling does or does not poses, in whole or in part,t!ie merits often claimed fir it. The plan proposed is to plow and sub soil tvo or three strips, about two rods in width, from sixteen to twenty inches deep, across the field selected for the ex periment and let ihe balance of the field be plowed the uual depth and not sub soiled, and let the sur.'ace preparation of lK)th be the same bef.re the planting. Then plaBt the field across the subsoiled strips so that there can be no difference in the time of planting, and give exactly th same care and treatment to the en tire field while the crop is growing. Keep a record and note every ten days the varying conditions of the weather and the d'.iferences, if anr, in the growth of the plants, and after harvesting the dif ference in the yield and quality of grain. In this manner the question of its use fulness for such a soil and under such conditions may be quite satisfactorily determined. Road Taxes. At the meeting of the county comn.it eioners of the State, at Lancaster, the fol lnwini? resolutions were presented : Whereas, The present depressed con dition of the farming interests of Penn sylvania is largely caused by the bad condition of the country roads at the time of year when farmers should have every convenience for handling farm produce. AVWm, That the road tax law of Pennsylvania should I so changed as to do away ui'.ii the rresent system of working out road Uses, and require all road taxes to be paid in cash to the prop erly authorized otlicers. By a vote of CS to 40 this was referred to the memorial committee to prepare an art in projer form for the consideration of the Legislature. The fallowing was adopted by a unanimous, vote: Ji.fJr.'!, That the men.U-rs of the Legislature be urged to repeal the act limiting the duration of the tax lien to two years from the time of the levy or assessment, unless the same be entered on record in the prothcnotary's oiiice. The follow ing was referred to the me morial committee to frame an act pro viding for the rejal of the law : AVfr.f, that we call upon the next Legislature to repeal the registry law of s73, which was rejiealed by this act. Ages Made to Order. A negro said to be liC years old was buried in Sew York last week. His wife, aaid to have been 110, died a few years ago. I have almays been suspicious of these 6torie of negro longevity, says a Jielroil Five V writer, since I met with Barney McCaffrey. Barney traveled ex clusively through the Sjuth for many years, selling fanning mills. Whenever be met an aged looking darkey be en deavored to make him believe be was extraordinarily ancient. I saw him oik it once. IIow old are you, uncle?" be said to a decrepit negro in Nashville. "Deed, sah, I denno." "Let me feel your pulse, and, laying Lis hand on the old man's forhead, he continued : "Io you remember General Jackson?" "Deed I does, sub." "Well, then, yon are 113 years old. Now, don't forget, uncle 113, remember, and if anybody asks how you know tell him the census teld you. I am the United States census, uncle, and I know w hat I am talking about." Two years later I satisfied my curiosi ty by asking uncle Low old he was. "I'se a bun'ud an' fifteen, Euh," said he, manifestly proud of it. Barney spent most of bis leisure time making this sort of archa-olgical remains, and said that not one in 30 of the old negroes knew bis age until be bad tcld it to biu) and stamped it with otlicial authoritv. They Cot Even. It is relat?d of a cjrtain lawyer named Ratcliffe, who was famous in bis circle o r bis skepticism and bis hatred of re igious things, that at one time he bad to go t3 St. Albans to take testimony in a law case in which be was engaged. He amused himself during the proceeding by continually alluding to tbe town as 'Aibacs" instead of St. Albans. I'res eently one of the local lawyers said to Lim : "Why do you call thu piace 'AlbansT "Because I don't like saints," said Mr. Hatcliffe. "Oh!" Nothing more was said on the subject, but bye-and-bye, the work lieing com pleted, the lawyer rose to take his de. parture. "Good-bye, gentlemen," he Slid to the three or four St. Allans men who were present. "Good-bye, Mr. Cliffe," tLey all an swered at once. "What do you mean by calling me Mr. CliSe?" Le exclaimed. "Why, we don't like rats," said oce of the St. Albans men. Jury. The Intense Brilliancy of Light ning. One consequence of tbe ebort duration of lighting is an apparent diminution of its brilliancy. It bas bwu proved that light can not produce its foil effect on the eye until it remains at least m iocg as one-tenth of a seond ;but lightning lasts only the ten-thousandth part of a second, and it follows from this that we see it cne hundred thousand times less bright than it really is. When we recollect that even thus d;niiniUed its brilliancy is much as to cause terojorary blindnesa if too closely wa'cbed, w e may fetl grateful that we can not see it in its tree vivid ness, Jor any bateau powers of visions would be too weak to bear such f ud dea and overwhelming illumination. Words of Wisdom. A man cannot be.truly eloquent if be knows not how to listen. Tact can aJord to smile while genius and taleritare quarreling. Both courage and fear owe much to tbe armed neutrality of prudence. The seeming length of a sermon is gen erally proportioned to its needs. It is expensive economy to make a part of the train suffice for tbe w hole. The baloon route to the top of Olympus has never been sucoei-fal'.y traveled. Virtue an i laziness tnay live together, but they sre not usually on tbe best of terms. All that is wise has been thought al ready ; we tauat try, however, to think it again. Money and property are costly knife, but do not ase ii to hurt, but to distrib ute bread. Beware of the vicious;' man who pro poses to reform his life on tbe instalment plan. It's a ood rule never to do for the sake of gain hat one wouldn't do for love or duty. Don't worry your brain about the man in the moon, but study the mil in your own overcoat. If a man could gain the whole earth it would begin to thnnk as soon as be bad possession. The only thing that walks back from the tomb with me mourners and refuses lo be buried is character. Don't Stand that Pain. It don't do to neglect nature's warning. Aches through the system cause rheum atism, neuralgia, backache and pain in the side ; a prompt and sale remedy is required. Red Flag Oil, the famous pain cure, fiiis tbe bill. Trice "3 cents, Are yon consumptive, or do you suffer with a cough or cold ? If so, use Tan-Tina Cough and Consumption Cure. Price o and 00 cents. Trial bottles free at G. W. Bedford's Drug Store. Carlyle and Some Young Men. When we think of bores we are tempt ed to wish that ail men bad something of Carlyle's rudeness. Tbe mighty Thom as was bidding "Good day" to a very conceited young man who bad favored him with a long sermon on things in general. He w ent politely to the doer and then said : -Well, Mr. B'snd, I've received ye for the sake of your father. Now good bye ; and I earnestly Lope 111 never sew ye again'." On another occasion Carlyle looked in a passionless way at a visitor who bad been holding forth for ever 60 long and said: "Man, but ye're a puir creeture !" The anecdote recalls one of a cobbler who once got rid of a tiresome taller by putting bis hands on bis lapstone and jiensively gazing at the talking nuisance saying : "I suppose, now, they tell you that God made you ?' The terrible insinuation was too much for the bore, and he fled, utterly routed. Inrk Ttiiut. Talleyrand's Sayings. Too much sensibility creates onhappi aess; too much insensibility creates crime. The love of glory can only create a heiojtho contempt of it only makes a great man. A rich man despises those who flatter him too mnch, and hates those who do not Hatter him at all. Truth and virtue can do less good in the world than their false, well acted semblance can do evil. A generous man will place the benefits he confers beneath his feet, those he re ceives nearest bis heart. General maxims applied to everyday life are like routine applied to the arts, god only for mediocre int-illects. To contradict and argue with a total stranger is like knocking at a gate to as certain if there is any one within. There are manv vices which do not de prive us of friends ; there are many vir tues which prevent our having any. In love we grow acquainted, because we are already attached in friendship we must know each other before we love. There are two things to which we never grow accustomed the ravages of time and the injustice of our fellow men. I was so much troubled with catarrh it seriously sleeted my voice. One bottle of Ely's Cream Balm did the work. My voice is fully restored. B. F. Leipsner A. M, Pastorof the Olivet Baptist chutch of Philadelphia, Pa. Figures and Facts.

Professor I.intner, an authority on en tomology, says that there are a million or more species of insects in the world. A single sheet of paper six feet wide ind seven and three-quarter miles long has been made at a paper mill in New Jersey. A Boston newspaper complains that the stoning of passenger trains by subur ban hoodlums is becoming too frequent, but neglects to draw the line atabich tae frequency would be acceptable to it.
