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.

A Itullw hacker from ltastoo.
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

and recreation a guest of the Superin

bad brought letters of introduction aud

"Have you met him?" "Yes Intro

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

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

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

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

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

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 kind of paper

Why a Schoolmaster Went Abroad.
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

school-master to ease his mind in regard
to an agricultural problem this bad
suggested.

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.

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

"What did you say? We're deaf."
She started in a loud voice, aud went

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. He explained to bis mother
that these materials hail never yet ex
ploded iu the house .and she was quieted
Agamcuion, meanwhile, reme.ubered
a recipe he had read somewhere for
making a" fulminating paste" of iron
til i ncs and powder of brimstone. He
had it written down ou a piece of paper
in his pocket-book. But the -iron
tilings must be finely powdered. This
they began upon a day or two before,
aud. the very attcru'oon before, laid
out some of the paate on the piazz.
Hut the best laid plaus are often
doomed to disappointment. The Pe
te! kins were not destined tt celebrate
successfully the glorious Fourth. A
match, accideutly dropped, tired pre
maturely the whole blast aud the pyro
technics went off altogether in a blaze
of glory, and on the morning of the
celebration the faniilv were all laid ap
with singed eyebrows, burned hands,
swelled faces and hairless heads, to
meditate at fieir leisure ou the risk of
playing with lire.
Tomry. Minnie's father has a black
mare called Topsey. She is very kind
and gentle. Sometimes Minnie's father
leads Topsey out of her stall, fastens her
to a ring which hangs from the ceiling
of the stable, and puts Minnie ou her
back. .Minnie pats the horse's n.-ck
with her little hand, aud says, "Go a
long. Topsey."
Topsey walks round in a circle as far
as the length of the rope she is fastened
with will allow, and when Miunie savs
"Whoa!"' she stops; but, at the first pat
of Miuuie's hand, she starts oft again.
.Minute calls tuts playing circus.
Topsey is fond of apple, and if any
one k'oes into the stall with an apple iu
his pocket, she smells it at once, and
holds up one of her forefeet. and whin
nies, as if she meant to say, " If you
please, 1 would like that "apple very
much,"
Minnie's papa sometimes lets Topsey
walk about the yard and crop the grass.
One day, as she was grazing io the yard,
she came towards the side-door. Miunie,
who was in the house, opened the door,
aud held out an apple. Topsey saw it,
and walked np to t.ie piazza, and would
have come into the house if Minnie
haii not closed the door quickly.
She opened the window, ami handed
Topsey the apple. Topsey stood and
munched it, and, when it was gone,
stuck her head in at the wiudow. ana
looked all about, as if she were saying,
"Is this where you ktep your apple's! 1
would like another." 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. The stable was soon tilled with
smoke, and, while Minnie's papa ran
with pails of water to put the tire ont,
Minnie cried bitterly, spying, "Oil, my
dear Topsey! She'll be burned! SLe'll
be burned! '
The little girl would not lie still until
her papa led Topsey out of the stable
and tied her to a tree in the yard, a long
way oil troui the lire; aud It was not un
til the lire was ali out, fund the smoke
had cleared away, that .Minnie was
contented to have her pet taken back to
the stall.
SjMirrotrs anil Horse. 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.

. 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."
