AGKICULTUKE. Th Fakvir a Chemist. The oll we cultivate is formed, lor the nool part, from the rock whioii constitute the cruet of the earth. Under the chemical influence of air and water these rocks crumble. The seeds of plants, wafted by winds and scattered upon the loose material, germinate and spring up. Animals come to feed upon these plants; soon both plants and animals die, and their remaiua mix with the crumbling ruck, and the soil is formed. Soils dif fer in quality according to the nature of the rock and the kind of vegetable matter which mixes with It. Geologists call these rocks stratified and unstrate lied, the largest portion of which are stratified. These are composed ot lime stone, sandstone and clay. When liuie simie crumbles it tortus a calcareous soil, sandstone gives us a sandy soil and a clay rock a clay soil. These constitute three of the leading qualities of the soil best known among practical farmers, la many instances, however, the crum bling rocks are of a mixed nature, and hence produce a mixed soil, which i neither calcareous, sandy nor clayey, but an open, fertile and valuable loam. When uustratiried rocks crumble, they produce a soil more or less productive, according to the kind. Granite rock produces a poor soil. Trap rocks pro duce a rich and fertile soil. The mixed soil is mostly produced by the water falling upon the mountains and wash ing the tiuer and lighter portions of va rious rocks iuto the valleys below, and leaving the coarser material on the hills and slopes. The winds also play an iin portatit part iu the loroiaiiou of local soils. A they sweep over the country they take up the tine dust and bear it tar away to other regions; or. rushing from the sea, they bear inland the sand of the shore, and render soil which is naturally ricn and productive, barren waste. .Such are the agencies which form and modily the soils made by tne dillerent rooks. The alluvial soils which border on rivers are produced through ' the agency ot water, while the sand downs of European countries and the dt-scrt regions of Africa and Asia owe their existence to the winds. The cul tivation ot the soil, to be successful, must be conducted on chemical princi ples, bolls on which we grow plants are con-iiojecl or organic and inorganic substances. Heat a portion of that soil to redness in the air, and the organic part will disappear. This consist of two groups of matter, viz : the one con taiiiiiig the element of nitrogen, and the other without it. All plant-producing soils must contain a supply of these sub stances. The important iaorgauic ele ments in tne soil are potash, soda, mag nesia, oxyde of iron, sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid. Every one of these substances exist in a healthy, plant growing soil. It one kind of crop is re peatedly grown upon the same tield, some ot the elements will be exhausted, and must be restored, or that crop will not prosper. Hence the utility and iui oruuce of frequent change ot crops upuu the same soil. The late residential contest engen dered much "bad blood" which coolness and judgment will correct. The "bad blood" induced by a persistent violation ot Nature's great but simple laws re quires not only coolness and judgment, but obedience to hygienic measures and the proper use of lr.

A young fellow iroiu one of the wood ranges came Into town on the Fourth, rigged himself up in a suit of clothe-, and boiled shirt, and promenaded Main i street, and was the subject ot "who I he?" from several ladies. One fair one in particular thought he was very inter esting, and quite distinguished looking and, in resjionse to her "who is he?" was told by a wtiggish male friend that he was a scion of wealthy family tour ing It through the country for pleasure and recreation a guest of the Superin tendent of the Manhattan, to whom be bad brought letters of introduction aud of credit from the Eastern banks. "Have you met him?" "Yes Intro duced to him at the mill office yester day." 'Oh, do please Introduce me; I'm dying to know him; 1 never saw such an interesting looking man in my life." The Fourth over, the young man went back to the hills, and re cently, dusty, dirty and ragged, he was engineering a bull-team up Main street. He had jut ejaculated, "Whoa, Bally, your onery heart," when he recognized his lady acquaint ance of the Fourth passing on the side walk; and; as any well regulated bull whacker would do under like circum stances, he politely raised his hat to her. She cast a glance at him that, had he been made of ordinary clay, would have shriveled him into a cinder, and crossing over to a store on the other side of the street called out one of the clerks with whom she was acquainted, pointed her finger at the bullwhacker, and said, "Who is that impudent wretch?" "That?" said the clerk; why, I thought you knew him; I saw you tail ing to him on the Fourth." She did not faint, but she registered a solemn vow to get even on the chap that had introduced her to the bullwhacker from Boston, Jackdic-k.

Truly there is no end to the uses of our Petroleum The latest novelty is its employment In the manufacture of Ice. C mogeme and rhigolene are petroleum products. obtained during the refining of the crude oil. Crude -petroleum gires off exceedingly volatile, vapors and gases, which, when mixed witn air in suit able proportions, produce extremely explosive mixtures. In the refineries where cymogeme and rhigolene are produced, these vapors aud gases are passed through long colls or pipe, ana condensed by cold and pressure into exceedinelv volatile liquids. Cymo geme ia the liquid thus obtained by the condensation of the first portions that pas- on from the oil. It is consequent ly more volatile than rhigolene, the liquid obtained by the condensation of the next portions of the distillate. Cymogeme boils at the temperature ol veiling ioe. A small quantity, when kept in a moderately good conducting vessels bursts, it is said, almost ex plosively into vapor, by the mere ap proach ot the human body. Khigoleue is less volatile; Its boiling point is ibout sixty-five degrees Fahrenheit. These lighter products of the distillation ot ciude petroleum being exceedingly volatile, and yet readily recondensed. serve admirably the pari ot abstracting heat trom the water whicu is lo D converted into Ice. The vapors which both of these substances so readily give off form, however, with air, a mixture which is as highly explosive as gun powder. The lower part of the ice- making machines contains the liquid of cymogeme. The coils dipping iuto the liquid are wetted by it, and a rapid eva poration of the volatile liquid occurs, which is insured by connecting the uper part of the cylinder with power ful exhausting pumps. The non-con-gealable liquid, thus greatly cooled. passes to a suitable tank, where the freezing is accomplished. The vapor from the cymogeme, or other volatile liquid, carried from the cylinder by the pumps, is driven by them Into a strong vessel, in which it is again liquefied by cold and pressure, and carried by pipes back again to the cylinder which con tains the revolving coils. This process, it will be seen, is coutinous. Thecyino geme is evaporated and recondensed, and the noii-cougcalable liquid used over and over agaiu. The apparatus, therefore, if very careful constructed, might safety employ any very volatile liquid since none of it is necessarily al lowed to escape into the air. The practical difficulty, however, is ab solutely preventing the escape of highly condensed gases or vapors. One of the disadvantages connected with the use of iron ships has been the extent to which such vessels foul or be come covered with marine incrustations on long voyages, especially in tropical climates, it has been estimated that in the case of sailing ships this fouling causes an average dill ere nee of from one and one and a half knots an hour between the speed maintained on the outward voyage aud that when coming home. It is true that fouling could be prevented by first covering the iron with a layer of wood, and sheathing this with copper, but the process is very costly. .It is now claimed that by the use of paper this puzzling problem has been solved.

A Virginia City mail who formerly a tight school in the Honey Lake Valley has been telling Dan De Qullle why he left that rural region. While employed as teacher it seems he '-boarded round," and one night while at the house of an old ranchman, gave one of the boys some extra lessons in geography. The old man overheard him telling the boy that the earth turned around once In twenty-tour hours, and "kicked' against it. He said be had heard such stuff talked, but there was nothing in it, as he could prove. He filled a tin cup with water and set it on top of his gate-post saying: "Now, young feller, if the world flops over as yon say, the water will be all out of the cup in the morning, and you will be right, and the world don't flop over." The water was found In the cup, ana tne old man triumphantly ex claimed : 'Thar, give me common sense any time against book larnir.'." Word went forth to the neighborhood that the teacher was an ignoramus, and be was invited to take a walk. A re porter asked the ex-teacher If that was the only reason for bouncing him. He said that it was not, that it had in curred the deadly hostility of one of the school trustees by laughing up roariously at a question pot by the old man. The honest farmer got hold of his son's geography, he appears, and there had read that the earth had a rotary motion.

Homb Madb Lamp Shades. Among the pretty things tor the parlor which may be easily be made at borne are lamp shades and window transparencies cut irora orisioi Doard. for a lamp shade, take five pieces of bristol board, three inches wide at top aid five at the bottom and sloped like a dress gore on both aides. On each of these sketch lightly in pencil (or, if your skill is not equal to tnu, trace with Impression paper) any simple picture vou please, Flowers, leaves, a spray of any sort, a vine with leaves, grapes and tendrils, are aii enecuve and pleasing patterns. After the pattern la traced, take a sharp penknite and cut through each line, taking care to leave enough ol the board intact at the base of each, so as to pre vent any part trom Deing wholly rt tached and so falling out. The design may be colored on the reverse if desired, aud for this no skill is necessary ; bold strokes and dashes of color answer per fectly, provided there is no blurring of the lines. We have seen some such shades where, instead of using a knife. the designs were pricked with a pin or with a large needle. When the parts of the shade are all done bind them w ith narrow or gilt paper, pasted on, and join them together. This may be done by making a bole at each corner of each gore and tying them together oy means or narrow ribbon pa-sed through the holes. If a larger shade is desired, six pieces may be made, but five will De suthcient for the ordinary sice. The effect of such a shade will, when the lamp Is lighted, be found equal to the finest bisque or porcelain trans parencies. For windows, cut the board in rectangular shape and proceed in the same maimer with your picture. We have seen a head of Christ and a Madonna and Child beautifully executed in this easy art work. Your knife must be sharp and your hand steady. It is well to fasten the work to a drawing board, as artists do their drawing paper, to hold It in place while doing this, since this insures taore regularity in the strokes. Wateri.no Flams. A well-known horticultural editor says the objection against watering when the sun shines on the plants is a purely theoretical one, and appears only in the writings of those who have had but little actual experience. Nevertheless, the evening is the proper time lor watering, when the best results in the converstiou of moisture are expected. Actual experi ence has taught that plants wilting from the enects of heat should be shaded, as well as watered. Experience has also taught that superficial watering does but little good. The water given should reach the roots of the plants. The great objection to watering under a hot sun is that the exhalation is so strong that much of tne water given is quickly evaporated. To color a switch, take a rusty kettle. if you have it; if not, gather rustv nails and bits of iron, and put into any iron kettle with a quart or mare of soft water; boil a few minutes and then put in the switch (previously washed, if oily), and simmer on the stove till the color suits.

Englishmen aud Americans ride well as long as they ride a trained saddle- horse and meet with no accident. But a South American or an Indian will ride a wild horse, and encounter an accident with a skill which seldom per mits them to be worsted. An English engineer, while engaged in a deer-bunt In Southern Brazil, saw a feat of horse manship which, though involuutary, shows how mind and limbs can be trained to meet an emergency. A slave had been ordered to the top of some ris ing ground to look for cattle. He was going at a sharp gallop when his mule suddenly put a fore foot in a hole and went down as If shot through the heart. An English or American rider would have instinctively gripped the saddle with both legs and attempted to stick to it. No so this Brazilian. He threw back bis body, opened his legs, alighted on the ground and started on a run. In a few strides he stopped himselt and re turning caught his mule Just as It got upon its legs again. Remounting he rode off as if nothing had happened. "That's a trick," remarked a Brazilian to the engineer, "you English could never do with your 'monkey' style of riding." The English rider keeps his seat by the "grip" of the muscles of his thighs; the Brazilian retains bis by "balancing" himself. His stirrup only admits the Insertion of his biir toe. an that he cannot be entangled with It In case of an accident. HUMOROUS. EXFERIENCa WITH A FxMAU BOOK Agent. We thought everybody iu the State knew we were deaf, but once in a while we find one who is not aware 01 the tact. A female book peddler came to the office the other day; she wished to dispose of a book. She was alone In this world, and bad no one to whom she could turn for sympathy or assist ance ; hence we should buy her book. She was unmarried and had no manly heart into which she could pour her sufferings; therefore we ougat to in vest in a book. She had received a liberal education, and we could not, in consequence, pay her less than i for a book. We had listened attentively and here broke in with. "What did you say? We're deaf." She started in a loud voice, aud went through her rigmarole. When she had finished, we went and got a roll ol paper, and making it into a speaking trumpet, placed one end to our ear and told her to proceed. She nearly broke a blood vessel iu her effort to make her self heard. She commenced : I am alone in the world " "It doesn't m ike the slightest differ ence to us. We are a husband and a lather.

Gather ing her robes about her, givi:ig us a glance ol contempt, she exclaimed : "1 d believe if a 3J0-pnunder was led off alougside that deaf fool's head he'd think that somebody was knocking at the door." Yon should have heard her slara the door when she went out. We heard that. He Was the Last or the Familt. A friend ol ours met a tramp on a high way out in the suburbs the other day. "Cau you give me a quarter to pay for a dinner?" asked the dusty wanderer. "What, you, an able-bodied man, begging?' "You can call - it begging, if you choose," whined the tramp, "but Tarn hungry and haven't a cent." "Tug farmers need harvest help why don t you go to work ami earu your living?" "Well," replied the wanderer, "the fact is, I'm an orphan my name Is Sinithson am the only one left of a once large and respectable family, and it's so awful hot that I'm afraid, if I should go to work in a harvest field, I'd get sunstruck, and you wouldn't have the last of the family of the Smith sons snuffed out of existence in that way. would you?" Our friend, whose name was Smith, gave poor bmlthson a quarter, and passed on. Their Circus. The boys were ar ranging for a circus, a la Barnum and Cole, aud most of the preparations had een made, when some one discovered that no clown had been engaged.

A writer on Nova Scotia life says: " 'Fulling frolics' are often given with a view of obtaining a large amount of manual labor gratuitously, as at the raising of a building, digging or wall ing a cellar, moving edifices or stranded vessels, Ac. A 'fulling frolic' for the finishing of the web of strong thick homespun which forms the usual cloth ing of the male portion of every family is a common occurrence. The web, duly wetted, is stretched upon long, rude benches or tables, on each side ol which stands rows of young men and maidens, bare-armed and strong-handed, who, grasping the fabric with both hands, raise, rub, and pound the same, with great exertion, in rhythm to the accompaniment of some rude ballad iu Gaelic, Irish, or the dialect of Lowland Scotch or English county. In an ad joining room the balance of the party are relieving their arms by dancing to the music of pipe, fiddle, or concertina, or, it may be to some lively air Milted' or sung by one of the number, who, as the phrase goes, is willing to jig for the rest.

YOUTHS' COLUiiy. The Feterkin Fourth. Mrs. Pete rk in had always beeu much afraid of tire works, and bad never allowed the boys to bring gnnpow ler iuto the house. She waseven afraid of torpedoes; they looked so much like sngar-plams, she was sure some of the children woald swallow them, and explode before any body knew it. She was very timid about other things. She was not sure even about pea-nuts. Everybody exclaimed over this: "Surely there wait no danger in pea-nnts!" But Mrs. l'eterkin declar ed she had been very much alarmed at the Exhibition, and in the crowded corners ot the streets in Boatou, at the pea-nuts, stand, where they bad machines to roast the pea-nuts. She did not think it was safe. They might go on any time, in the midst of a crowd of tieople, too! Mr. l'eie. kin thought there actually was no danger, and he should be sorry to give np the pes-nut. He thought it an American institution, somethinir real I v belougiutr to ihe Fourth of July. He even confessed, to a quiet pleasure in crushinif the empty shells with his feet un the sidewalks as he went along the streets. Agamemnon thought it a simnle iov. In consideration, however, ot the fact that thev had no real celebration ot the Fourth the last year, Mrs. l'eterkin had consented to give over the day, this year, to the amusement of the family as a Ceutenuial celebration. She would prepare herself fora terrible noise-only she did not want any gunpowder brought into the house. The little boys had ix-gun by firing some torpedoes a tew days beforehand that their mother might be used to the sound, and had selected their horns some weeks before. Solomon John had been very busy in inveuiiugsouie tire works. As Mrs. l eterkiu objected to the use of gun powder, he found out from the dictiou ary that the different paits of eunpow der are-saltpeter, charcoal, and sulphur Charcoal he discovered they b:ul iu the wood-bause; saltpeter they would find in the cellar, in the beef-barrel; and sulphur they could buy at the apothe cary's.

Minnie patted Topsey a nose, aud said, "No no; pony can't have any more now;" and Topsey looked quite sad for a ininnte, and then went back to finish her dinner of grass. One day a pile of diy leaves near the stable took tire from a lighted match which a careless person had thrown on them.

Sparrows are good-hearted little e real arcs after all, though they do wrangle a little among themselves I heard two of I hem holding a joy meeting over the good deeds done by some of their fellows in New York how they make a habits of going to the great town stables where the car horses are kept, and comforting the tired beasts with their cheery voires and nimble, playf j1 ways. Some of these horses, it seems, have to jog back and forth every day along their rail-tracks for nearly the length of the great city touchiugthe Battery at one end of the route and Central Paik at the other, without ever once Iwing allowed to go into either. Now, that must be pretty bard. Sever to ruu over soft grass or rest under the green trees' lint the sparrows make np for the privation as they can. They hop into the stables, hop, hop along the stall to the horses' ears, tell them all about the grass, the trees, and the cool, sweet shade; then they hop, hop to the tWr, and the pjils, eat their little "till," and hop out aain. Bless the little sparrows! A Brave Cat. One day, when some kittens were at their romps near a barn, a large hawk flew that way, aud longed to make a dinner of one of them. In a moment, he caught a kitten in bis claws; but before he could fly away, the mother-cat sprung on the bold bird. There was now a great tight. Poor pussy was mnch torn: and the blood flowed from her head and side. But she would not let go her hold on the bird, and kept up the tight. At last she broke a wing of the hawk, and, af ter a bard battle, laid him dead at her fee:. Pussy then turned to her kitten, licked ita wounds, aud began to purr with joy at having saved it from claws of the wild bird. Troplrl Rain. As the tropical rains, though gener ally confined only to part of the year and then only toa few boms of the day, fall in so much greater abundance than under our skies, it may be naturally supposed that the single showers must be proportionally violent. Descending in streams so close and so dense that the level grouud, unable to absorb it sufficiently fast, ia covered with a sheet of water, the rain rushes down the hill sides in a volume that wears channels surface. For hours together, the noise of the torrent as it beats upon the trees and bursts upon the roofs, occasions an uproar that drowns the ordinarv voice and makes sleep Impossible. In Bom bay, nearly nine inches of rain have oeen known to fall. fedltk'a runt Latter. . Everybody knows that mothers lay by as a precious store the first little stock ings the baby wore, and regard them with even-increasing pride if the baby lives, . and cherish them as sacred souvenirs if the baby dies; and the Major has often wondered whether men have any joy that is the counterpart of this one that seems peculiar to women. When May days began to lengthen and brighten, Mrs. Shottgun took the baby off into the country, w here it might have, during the eventful second year of childhood, the benefit of fresh air and food and ample playground, with green grass to roll upon. Daily the Major re ceives letters containing bulletins show ing how the infant Is flourishing, and detailing also some of its remarkable ad ventures. For instance, one day last week came this : "This morning Edith strayed into the kitchen while I was in the dining room, and the first I knew I heard an awful scream, and little Edie came running in with her right hanJ dreadfully burned. How she did it I don't know, but she must have put her hand right on the -tove, for the whole palm is one great blister. She takes it bravely, and I have got the hand all done up in cotton batting and flannel, and every now and then she holds it np to me like a tiny white boxing glove, and says plaintive ly, "Burner, burner."' Baby's hand must have healed rapid ly, for two days later this came: "While Edith was standing on the back steps this morning, trying to catch a butterfly, she fell off, and it didn't hurt her a bit, but mother says it will cost as much as seven dollars to replace the pots and plants that Edith fell upon, baby is so heavy, you know. And she is developing traits that in other people's children would doubtless indicate an alarming and precocious ferocity, but which in this case seem only te show a rare degree of courage. Here is a bulletin that says: "Biby caught a fly this morning, and tore it in pieces." Another: "Edie stepped on in ugly spider and crushed it;" and on the same day it is recorded that she "said 'Papa in her sleep." Yesterday there came letter that was bulkier than usual, and the Major, as he opened the envelope, wondered what was in it. A little piece of brown paper dropped out, covered all over with pencilling of no character or meaning, but softly drawn, evidently by the baby; and reading alon down the letter the Major came to the daily bulletin : "As 1 sit here writing the baby is on the floor, quiet, for a wonder, and busily engaged with a piece of brown paper and a pencil ; and I ask her what she is doing, and she says 'Write papa;' and here Is the baby's letter, enclosed in mine." So this little piece ef brown paper, scribbled all over with soft pencilling, is Edith's first letter, ami to papa; and it must be confessed that the Major is very proud of it, and he puts it care fully with the picture of Edith that he carries in his pocket, and thinks to himself that he has, may be, found the counterpart of that peculiar joy of wo men, and been admitted to tne highest order of humanity. Cynthia treasures the little stockings; Philip treasures no loss the letter written in a hand that none but him can decipher, and as he reads it over again he thinks between the lines that, after all, this is a very pleasant world to live in. He Wanted to live. Timothy Iloldeu suddenly uiai'.e his appearance at a dye shop, and wanted to know if he could have his share of the skj , colored pea green. The proprietor refused to take the job, and Timothy departed, to return after a few minutes and posed bini-elf in the door and say : "At lut The dye Is cast. Oh! death, where is your sting! I cannot dye in spring !" He was ordered out, but he returned and wanted his left ear dyed red, and his thumbs dyed sky-blue. He was chased out this time, and he was arrested while trying to hire a boy to paint his eye bulls the color of a green gage plum. "Timothy, vou must always wash fa brics liefore dyeing," said his Honor, alter hearing the story. "Yes'r." "I'll have yon washed and hung on the line, and the grease spots taken out, and then if you want to be dyed, I'll paint you up like a bird of paradise." "Then I'm sent up, I s'pose?" "Exactly." "And a million dollars couldn't buy me off." "Xo, nor twice that.-" "Then load np the corpse !" The ''corpse" hadn't been seated on the nail keg over a minute before it was heard singing : "I'll dye my hair a red, I'll paint my ears a blue, I'll varnish my nose, also my toes. And my chin it shall shine like dew." A Tried Keniedy lor ttilia.nvness.
