HURRIED THE WORK. Pccallar Eifcrlcaee of a Tirklrt Literary Mao. Once upon a time u certain Turkish literary man living In Constantinople arranged to translate for a dally news paper a novel, then popular In Eng land. Each day he rendered a suffi cient part of it into the Turkish lan guage to fill the apace reserved for it One day his peaceful home was enter ed by the police, who peremptorily ar rested the man of letters and dragged him off to prison. No explanation was given for Ills arrest, the novel reflected in no way against the politics of the state, and he had broken no laws. lie was not even given time to bid fare well to his ittmlly, but he was com manded to bring the work under trans lation with him. Arrived at the prison, he was given pleasant quarters, good food and drink and sternly command ed to complete his task. So for sev eral days the frightened translator worked arduously, says Town and Country. When the work was done, he was, to his astonishment, Instantly liberated and presented with a large sum of money. Upon further inquiry as to his treatment it was explained that the sultan had become interested in the story as It appeared from day to day and was too Impatient to wait for the end. He wanted to read all the rest of it at once! Truly, there are certain advantages in being a sultan. The Tallest People. In a comparative table of stature, ar ranged according to nationalities, the United States Indian stands higher than any other race of the world, though the Patagonlan runs him very close. The white citizen comes next. The United States negro ranks four teenth In the scale, and of all the coun tries of the world considered the Portu guese are found to be the shortest. It has always been proverbial among anatomists that blond nations are greater than their darker neighbor*. This Is due to the geological iwsltlons of the blond races. They are charac teristic of the north and on account of the lower degree of temperature are induced to take more exercise, which throws them more in the open air. At the top of the list of countries, ar ranged in order of stature, the first seven after the United States white men are Norway, Scotland, British American, Sweden, Ireland, Denmark and Holland, all northern nations.— Detroit Tribune.

A Wisconsin correspondent sends the Farm Journal a model of a convenience for use In hay time. In wide mows or bays when tbe fork delivers the hay In the <-enter in the usual lnan ner- It must lie \ forked laborl ously to the sides. To rem | 6 tills the cor § respondent has a board platform, DUMPIJiO PLATFORM. „ by 9 fwt nailed to a 4 by 0 Inch piece turned at tbe ends and pivoted at A, In blocks nailed to the plank, C. A rope Is fas tened to each end of the platform so that it can be tipped to either side as desired. Planks can be laid across each beut and sockets fastened ou each oue, so that the dumping platform and Its attached roller cau be moved eaally. In order to be effective the hay must drop every time near the center of platform. On a wooden track this can be effected by boring a hole in the track and putting an Iron plu through it On an irou truck the same end can be secured by a clamp screwed on. A Wlrrw«ra Car*. I have found nothing better for wire worms than buckwheat. Had Sub scriber seeded buckwheat in his corn last year at last cultivation he would have had nothing to fear from wire worms in this year's crop, as It is a worm exterminator. There Is nothing better to feed a horse for worms and bots, etc. Feed at night after a day's drive or work while the stomach Is empty six to eight quarts and no other feed for two hours or more, and follow up for a month. It Is harmless and yet certain to remove worms. Now," If Subscriber will plant a few grains In each hill, say a doseu of buckwheat. It will be a great help If not a com plete preventive for this year's crop, aB wlreworms have no use for buck wheat; also It Is generally a paying crop to raise, besides freeing the land of wlreworms. When land falls to catch In clover, raise a crop of buck wheat and seed to clover or to wheat and then to clover In the spring, and 1 never knew it to fall of a catch. I)ou't plant too early.—Cor. National Stoi-k --mau. A Good Lawn Graaa Mlxtare. The following mixture of the very best recleaned seed has been found to make the most satisfactory permanent lawu under nearly all conditions in the north as well as in tbe south and in California: Redtop, thirty pounds; blue grass, thirty pounds; white clover, six teen pounds per acre. In the south and In California tbe Bermuda grass has more extended use, but while it makes an attractive cushion-like turf It is al most impossible to eradicate It from walks and beds, into which it spreads With the greatest facility.

A captain of a Massachusetts regi ment, stationed in Washington at the time of tbe civil war, was noted for his love of good things to eat and on* day dispatched one of hla soldiers, a man named Bailey, to Alexandria to get adme freab oysters, giving him Instruc tions not to return without them. Tbe man started, and no mora was seen of him for nine days. Tbe Washington Times prints tbe story of hla return: After a lapae of nine days Bailey came Into camp leading a train of four horse wagons, loaded with oysters. Approaching and respectfully saluting the amased captain. Bailey said: "Here are your oysters, captain. Couldn't find any In Alexandria, so I chartered a schooner and made a voy age to Fortress Monroe and Norfolk for them. There are about 200 buabela. Where do you want 'emT' Bailey did really make the trip, blrad hla men and sold oysters enough In Georgetown before "reporting" to pay all expenses and leave him a profit of about 9100. The 200 buabela were di vided among the member* of tbe regi ment, and Bailey returned to his duty. Paper MakUr aai the Bent'*". Tbe art of paper making la almost prehistoric. It la believed that the Egyptlana Invented tbe AM crude proceaa. This la ahown in the name Itself, which la derived from tbe word papyrus, a reed which grows In Egypt and other warm countries. The ancient Egyptians made their primitive paper from this plant by tak ing tbe amooth, flbroua layer between the rough outer bark and tbe Inner flesh of the reed. This they dried and glued together In long rolls, which served as a meana to convey their thoughts In hieroglypblca. This proc eaa has been so Improved upon during the aucceedlng agea that today the most perfect paper can be made from the meanest substances. Trtatan«.
