I Ho Living Mammoth.
For eeveral years the story has been
extensively circnlatod that the, natives
of Alaska are acquainted with living
mammoths. The probable origin of
the story was pointed out at a recent
meeting of the Diologioul Society of
Washington by Mr. C. H. Townscnd.
In 1885 when he was in Alaska, some
of the natives questioned him concern
ing the naturo of the giant animal
whose bones are not infrequently
found there, and ho drew restorations
of the mammoth in order to show them
how it looked when living. They were
greatly interested in the pictures, and
made copies of them. Tueee copies,
be thinks, have been widelv uifl
through Alaska, and, being found by
white men in tho hands of the natives,
have given rise to the belief that the
prehistoric) beasts still inhabit that
country.

Tenr blight is dtto to the nttnclis of
n microscopio parasite. It is purely
a locnl affection. It does not cuter
into the snp cironlnlion of tho troei
it has no cITect npon the tree beyond
tho parts attacked ; it never extends
through the organs or snp of the tree
from the effected parts to other por
tions of tho tree, bnt develops only
by tho extension of the local elicction j
the microbes work in the inner bark
only, and they continue to work nntil
sometimes large areas ore involved,
bnt they do not pass from ono part of
the tree to another except by pushing
out through the inner-bark from the
point of first attnek ; the injury lios
in the destruction of this inner bark.
Thus, by catting off beyond the liuo
of cfTcction the effected part, that
particular attack is forever gotten rid
of. In handling blight intelligently
the above facts as to tho Unturo of the
disease should bo kept in mind, and
nlso the farther fact, that the disease
enters the tree only through tender
growth nnd blossoms. The greatest
danger lies in the disease getting in
npon nnd destroying the. trunk or
main branches ; this can bo prevented
by keeping them free from new
growth and small branches, lly keep
iug the trunk and main branches free
from new growth by cutting off all
small laterals, twigs and spurs, the at
tacks will be co u lined to the terminal
branches, and can be kept in check
by removing those affected. The
most effective method known for pre
venting the spread of blight is cutting
off and destroying the affected parts
as soon s signs of blight appear. Q.

THE FAItMER'3 WOODriliC
The farm wood lot has not yet ful
filled the prophecy of twenty-five
years ago and vanished in favor of
coal, says A. C. Oliddcn, in the De
troit Journal, Whilo young, growing
should be carefully preserved, the
mistake should not be mado of keep
ing older trees after tbey have ma
tured. A tree that has begun to decay
never gives ont the sparkling, glowing
heat that Bound timber shows. If
there are more such trees in the wood
lot than farm necessities require, they
should be disposed of in some way. Of
course, the good farmer prepares his
wood a long time in advance of nse.
The idea that green wood w ill soon dry
out when exposed to winter air is not
correct. Mr. Gliddon once thus ex
posed twenty pounds of green oak
wood twenty days, and found it had
lost only one pound or five per cent,
in we'tght. Placed in an oven and
dried slowly nntil thoroughly sea
soned, it lost five poun U or twenty
five per cent, of its green weight. At
the outdoor rate it would have taken
neorly three months to season. The
experiment was with sixteen-inch body
wood, snd if the figures are correct, a
cord of Buch wood will weigh 1150
pounds green, and 1140 pounds dry.
To prepare wood properly for the
kitchen range, thestioks, whatever the
size, should be as nearly square as
possible. A flat stick is an abomina
tion. If not more than an inch thick,
split it again to make it square. Wood
splits better when it is green, and the
job is better done where the tree falls,
leaving bark nnd litter where it will
do most good. Slab the log straight
across, to thickness of sticks. Quar
tered blocks will give many three-sided
and Out sticks.
TO MAKE CLOVER CATCH AND GltOWi
Every where are heard complaints of
the difficulty of securing a good catch
of clover, and the trouble seems to in
crease from year to year. One explanation-
of this is that the humus is
gradually being exhausted from the
soil of many farms; and without
humus or some other material to start
the young plants, they perish as soon
as they germinate. This is illustrated
on some ground now nnder observa
tion. It bad being cropped for a long
time, nntil the humus was nearly all
gone. One portion of the field would
not grow anything of value. Last
spring the whole field being in wheat
was sown to clover. The weather
proved unfavorable, nnd there was no
catch at all except on the very poor
area where the wheat had been top
dressed with well-rotted stable manure.
There tho catch was nil that could be
dsired. After the wheat had been re
moved, a very thin dressing of manure
was spread over the whole field, and a
few days of rain coming, clover seed
was again sown and became established
before wintor ; but it would not have
lived had it not been for the manuro
on the turfaeo of the ground.
This result has now followed so fre
quently in our hands that we feel euro
that on thin lands the place to apply
manure is on the surface, there to re
main and not to bo plowed under.
Applied in this manuer and mixed
through tht soil with a cultivator, it
will cause a heavy staud of wheat on
thin soil, and the wheat will be fol
lowed by a good catch of closer. To
secure this result it is not necessary
to make a heavy application of ma
nure, but a very thiu application will
auswer.
Tho clover plant thrives on lime. If
thirty bushels of lime be applied per
acre it is almost sure to improve the
clover crops for a number of years. If
lime cannot be obtuiucd, three or four
bushels of land plaster, sown on the
fields in the spring when the clover is
just starting, will be followed by most
gratifying rebults. Lituo a i 1 plaster
should always bo placed t n top tho
ground and not plowed uu ..r, They
will work down soon enous-ii. It is said
that Dr. Benjamin Frnuklin iutro
duoed the ue of plaster on clover by
sowing it iu a field on tho principal
road leading into 1'hiladulphiu. It was
scattered so ns to form tho words
"This is Plaster." Tho growth of the
c'.ovtrwasso luxuriuut, that nil who
pasted clou-. tho road read the wonln
iu tho plants overtopping all in their
neighborhood.
(.'lover is benefited by being mowed
or toppod after it lias uiale a fair
irowtb, my a'lout tho middlv vf Au
gust. The tops fall down about the
roots and form a mulch and decaying,
produce just what tho plant needs to
force a greater growth. Tho ragweedt
which are such a nuisance iu stubble
fields are in this way gotten rid of nnd
at once put to a good nse, mnlohing
nud fertilizing tho ground about the
clover. Clover often fails because not
enough seed is sown. Now, if tho soil
is full of humus and quite fertile,
three or four quarts to tho acre will
answer; but if tho soil is thin nud the
humus is deficient then larger and
larger quantities will be needed, six,
eight And even ten quarts to the ncre.
There is no use at all in sowing thinly
of this seed on poor soil.
The proper time to sow is nlso an
important element in securing a good
catch. Some prefer very early seed
ing, others to wait nntil the weather
has become settled, It must be said
that when tho soil is Uu favorable, tho
chances are most in favor of the early
sowing, Borne sow on light snows in
March, trusting as the snow molts tho
seeds will with it enter the ground.
Others sow when the soil is opened
and porous from frost. Others when
rain is promised, this carrying tho
seed into the soil. If the ground has
become hard and dry, there is no no
sowing clever seed and expecting it to
Catch. Such ground must be opened
up with a harrow, when the seed may
bo sown with hope of soocoss. An
ordinary spike harrow may be run
over fields of wheat in tho spring with
out doing any material damage to the
gram plants.
(Jlovor should always be sown with
some other crop in order to furnish
shado to the yonng plants; if thoy
cannot endure the hot sun until estab
lished. 0. O. Qroff, in New York In
dependent. Jeflcrso i's Bjyhootl Residence,
Jefferson spent part of his early
boyhood at Tuckahoe on the James
Kiver, a fine house still in existence,
about fourteen miles west of Kich-
mond, which has not parted with the
traditions inseparable from an old
lrginia mansion, inoluding a bed
slept in by George Washington, a per
ambulating ghost who wrings his
hands before cock-crow, and stable!
where a stud of thoroughbred horses
consumed anuually "a thousand bar
rels of corn." Near tho flower gar
den, with its box-edged walks, stands
a little brick bnilding styled the school
house, wherein studied togetbet
Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Mann
Randolph, the boy heir of the estate,
to which his guardian, Peter Jeffer
son, had removed with his family, the
better to watch over his orphaned
charge. .This Thomas Mann ltandolph
married, first, Anne, daughter of Ar
chibald Cary, of Ampthill, the fiery
patriot of the Revolution, known by
the sobriquet of "Old Iron." The
oldest sou of this marriage became
Mr. Jefferson's eon-in-law. Very late
in life Colonel Randolph solacod his
widowerhood by taking to wife a boun
tiful yonng girl in her teens. Miss
Gabriella Harvie, of Richmond, an
event that soon scattered from her
husband's home the children of his
first marriage. One might go far
without finding advice so kind, so
temperate, iu such exquisite sympa
thy with the difficulties of poor human
nature in families of diverse elements,
as that of the letter written by Mr.
Jefferson to his daughter npon the
subject of this marriago of her father-in-law
in 17'JO. An odd outcome of
the much-discussed nuptials was that
the new Mrs. Randolph, imperiously
ignoring the fact that her oldest step
son was already in possession of the
name, bestowed upon her own son
also his father's name of Thomas Mann
Randolph. From this high-spiritod
and captivating Mrs, Gabriella Ran

Puper Railroad Rail.
A notable success is recorded by the
Paper Trade Journal in the introduc
tion of railroad rails in Germany and
Russia made from paper material. In
tho production of such rails wood
pulp has not been found adapted, but
ordinary pulp from rags, rope stock,
eta, is resorted to, the processes of
grinding, cooking, digesting and
working of these into a pulpy con
dition being accomplished in regular
order, with care, of course, to have
the stock in uniform preparation and
the fiber as well preserved "s possible ;
and, when in a pulpy condition, the
ingredients for stiffening the rail to
a proper toughness and efficiency so
as to stand excessive wear and friction
from the wheols, and for imparting
elasticity, smoothness and other re
quirements aro applied. Quantities
of borax, litharge, paraffine wax, tan
ners' prease, waterproof fish glue,
rosin and fine cement are nsed in cer
tain proportions, being added to tho
pulp while it is yet warm; mixing
follows, and tho ingredients are thor
oughly combined with the fiber; a
quantity of shellao and wood aloohol
is next put into the mixture, and tho
mass, alter being subjected to another
stirring, is then allowed to settle.

were tried it was fonml that all,
whether grave or gay, produced quick
ened respiration and increased notion
of the heart. The lively tunes pro
duced the greatest acceleration. The
subject also sometimes unconsciously
cudeavored tosy uchronize his respira
tions with those of the singer. In ral
lentando and d iminuendo paaaagos the
respiration was retarded. Where the
sound was wholly nnoomplioatcd by
emotional ideas, as in single notes or
chords, the heart's action was acceler
ated, but not in so marked a degree
as whon a melody either grave or gay
was played. During operatio pieoos
or those well known to the subject the
acceleration attained its maximum,"

"Ai in the daily wear and tear of
life a great deal of the snbstanoo of a
man's body is used np, it is absolutely
ncceesary that the repair to the body
be carefully and systematically looked
after," writoa Mrs. 8. T. Borer in tho
Ladies' Dome Journal. "Then, too,
man must create beat and force, ac
cording to the climate in which he
lives and thu occupation he follows.
A wise combination of food is thtie
fore necessary to keep the body in
working order. In cold weather we
need a larger amount of carbonaceous
foods fats, sugars, and starches
than we do in summer. In the hot
climates and during the hot months
fruit and green vegetables, containing
the salts necessary to keep the blood
in good condition, should be nsed
freely. According to our molbod of
living in this oountry, we should take
about two parts of repair food, such
as meat, eggs, milk, cheese, or in the
vegetable kingdom, the old peas,
beans, and lentils, to three parts of
carbonaceous food, such as wbito
bread, potatoes, rico, butter, cream,
and fats of all kinds. Then we must
have a certain amount of bulky or
watery vegetables, suoh as lettuoe,
spinach, cabbage, onions, and also the
fruits. In making out a daily ration
we should have at the beginning of
the meal some light dish that may be
taken slowly, to prepare tho stomach
for the food that is to follow, then a
meat or its equivalent. With beef we
should servo potatoes; with mutton,
rice. With chickens, either rice or
potatoes."

It has been ascertained by experi
ments that a number of pprsous who
nae the telephone habitually hear it
better with the loft ear than with the
riffht. Tho common praolioe of the
telephone companies is to place tho
reocivcr so that it will be applied to
the loft ear. In order to educato tho
right ear to the same point of efficiency
it is recommended that the receiver
be held in the right hand half of the
time.
