All efforts to recover either the body or the mult, were fruition; but thirty-four year af terward, In 1W, the Kinder east forth It prey many miles -lower down the Valley, nnd the Ionic-lost letters were delivered to iir many of the nililivsscs ni eonld be traced.

In July, 1MM, a postman who carried the malls on foot between the villages of Hospello and 1'iiKet Thenlers was fa tally mauled by three of such birds. Of two men who attempted to nrciiRP Ids death, one was killed outrlnlit, and an other Injiirpd so severely that bin life was for n long time In thinner. The eamPl postman of the Rnhnra -Hlntprland Is nnothpr letter carrier who has need of plenty of pluck. The wild tribesmen of the desert look upon him as their natural prey, so that he never knows, w hen hp sets out In the morn I lie, whptlipr he will reach his des tination nt night.

In Formosa also the mails are carried to this day by n man on foot, who Jogs alone with n paper lan tern and an umbrella. Siberln, except along the line of the new- railway, has to rely on pot sledges; nnd there are towns, nnd fair sized towns, too, where more than two deliveries a ye.jr would be exceptional. The postmen of the I.nndes, in south tvestprn France, strike across the waste on gigantic stilts, their feet a fathom or more nbove- the ground. In the interior of China, except In a few districts, there is no regular letter delivery, and consequently no post men. But many of the mandarins nnd taotals maintain semi-public services of their own, nnd keep their runners up to the murk by the Bimple expedient of beheading laggards. Youtb'n Com panion. A STRUGOT.E WITH THE ICE. The last ernft to get through nt the end of the season often gains some thing of a reputation,. Traction I ren tong prevent any stoppage until the Inst moment possible. The longer a vessel runs, the greater the freights earned, and often ebunees nre tnkcnS No boat ever had a more typlcnl nnd exciting trip than the Hutchinson In the year just passed. On the evening of Noveprher ".'ft the Hutchinson, in a high sea nnd driving snow storm, ran on an uncharted rock in Lake Supe rior. The shorn points tore a hole through the bottom of the big vessel. In midden error some of the, firemen and crew mndc for the small boats, but were driven back by the captain. Itockets pierced the dnvkness, nr.it a huge bale' of Inflammable stuff soaked In kerosene was set flaming nt the masthead, l-'lres were lighted on the stool decks, and all r.iglit long the sig nals of distress burned. With the notification of the. life saving station the life savers put off through the win ter sens. During two days the crew nnd the life saving men renmined upon the sh;p. hi the meantime the underwriters hr.d learned of Hip wreck; nnd the Hutchinson being abandoned by the owners, Captain Charles jr. Davis, a lake veteran of seventy, a famous wrecker, wns sent to tuke charge. Wrecking outfit were ummoned from the "Soo," and a work ing party engaged. At once the work of Jettisoning the cargo began. Kix Inch centrifugal pnmps poured wnter Into the holds filled with flaxseed, un til fourteen inch pumps could suck up the vnluable stuff nnd force It over board. Fifty thousands bushels, worth fno,0(K), were pumped Into the lake In thirty-two hours. A wrecking tug then started to pull the Ilutchln sou off, but so violent a storm came on that the immediate breaking up of the vessel seemed unavoidable. With this apparently Inevitable, the crew and the wreekeri left her. He. fore leaving the heavy anchor vm let go. On the following duy, however, with the subsidence of the tempest tlie .astonished wreckers found that the wave, lustead of destroying the Hutchinson, hnd lifted the bnnt off the rock and that she was riding iu safe ty. , - Then lipgnn one of the runs to be celebrated in hike history. Nineteen feet of water wns in one compartment nnd fourteen In another. The rcninlm Ing cargo bad to be stowed so that It would not shift in the heaviest seas. The pumps were kept going the entire (line, in this condition the Vessel plowed steadily through the heavy waves, the thickening Ice. At one time, In nero weather and with n blind. Ing snowstorm a fifty miip gulp blew about the boat. Hhe rolled heavily, nnd because she was so weighted down with the thick coaling of Ice tba water broke over her nt every plunge. Two ferry boats opening a way wero needed to help her to make l'olnte nil rel". At the port of destlintlon the appear- mice of the battered warrior of the waters aroused the greatest entliusl nsm. The whistle of everything tbnt had stc.ini up was set g"lng. The walling sirens of the g.eat lioiilr, Hid tooting of the smaller, welcomed the arrival in a cacophonous chorus. Three hundred nnd fifty thousaiuN dollars were saved to, the underwriters by the exploit nnd the last beat of the year was "In."-lieorgo lllhbiml, In Har per's Magazine. i:i:ckmsm:sh in midair. That familiarity breeds contempt of danger Is shown by an article printed In the rutsbing Leader. "Sep thatV" asked nn engineer of the Fast Kiver bridge, pointing to a small ladder set into one of the steel piers nt nn eleva tion of more than 2il) feet nbove the street. So closely did the ladder sling to the smooth surface of the steel that It seemed nlmost Impossible to get the lingers between the rungs mid the pier. "lhose steps were Intended to be used only under the most pressing i.r cunistances," continued the engineer, "and only then with great care. Yet the men would leap for the ladder from n platform about three feet nway, snatch at a rung mid climb, up rather than use a safe nnd guarded scaffold ing erected for the express purpose only a few yards away. Warning notices were posted that any one did It would bo discharged, yet the very day the decree went forth a man Jumped for the ladder. He struck the side of the steps with bis head and was dashed to the ground. Of course he was killed Instantly. "That stopped the ladder climbing, but the men still do nil sorts of reck less tilings. For Instance, they climb out on a narrow beam projecting over the river from the very top of the structure, nnd Btand there on one leg to be photographed. "Not long ngo one of our foremen found a mini taking an after dinner nap on a girder at a height equal to that of n twenty. story building. The gird er was Just wide enough for him to lie on, and there was nothing but air be tween hi m nnd the ground. Yet he was quite indignant when the foreman woke him up nnd threatened to dis charge him." "Our window cleaners nre as rash ns any workman," said tiie superintend ent of a skyscraper. "Kach of our win dows Is lilted with heavy iron eyeliolts. Into which the cleaners are expected to snap stool honks attached to broad canvas belt that are buckled about their waists. "You would not Imagine that any man would dare to stiiuil on the ten Inch window sills without seeing tbnt the belt Is booked into the eyebolts ns firmly a It will go. There Is. absolute ly nothing else for the cleaners to bold on to, nnd in front of them Is the smooth face of the glass. The men stand bolt upright, nnd even lean back n little. Yet every day we catch one or more of them climbing out on those narrow sills, twelve stories and more nbove the sidewalk, with the belt un hooked." FT.EE AFTER FORTY YEARS. . In 1S74 I wns traveling In the Ans trallau bush New South Wales whan I enme acroes a respectable old man, over sixty years of age, who told mo an extraordinary story. He said his name wns Edmund ; alley. He and a man mimed Oliver were tried nt Exe ter In 18:1(1 for the murder of a yeoman farmer named May, on July 10, 1835. They were botli convicted and sen tenced to be executed. Oliver, lu the dock, turned to the Judge nnd said: "This man, Oalley, Is quite Innocent." Mr. Coi-Uburn, afterward Lord Chief Justice, who deieuded Galley, and a shorthand reporter, who wns also pres ent at the trial, made such strenuous efforts that Galley's sentence of deatli wns not parried out, but he wns trans ported to New South Wales, where fcs arrived in 180!. Oliver wns executed. Many years afterward, a tnf.n named John Longley, on bis deathbed, con fessed that he nnd Oliver were the murderers of May, nnd Galley was In nocent. . A number of people, nnd I among them, wrote to my fine old friend, Sir Kardley Wllmot. M. P., who took up the case and presented it to the House of Commons In a simple, clear and ef fective manner. Galley did not like to marry until be received a free par don. The proceedings In the House of Commons are fully reported in Han sard, especially the great speech of John Bright, After un exciting de bate. It was Tesolved to recommend tho Queen to grant a free pardon to Galley, which wus accordingly given In 1879, forty-three years after the con viction of this poor old Australian shepherd. J. H.

Frank Aiken, In the American Ayl eiiltrrist, writes: Ths'nr.wll fruits I grow nre red and bl.icl; ras;brrrlos, blackberries, cifi'ants, gooseberries, and strawberries. The jear'j care of nil these rxcepi ntrnwbrrriea be gins with taUng cut of tho dead wood la March. With, raspberries r.n:l blackberries a'. tho wcod that fruited laat fumncr li taken out with a sharp l'.ork made of a largo tlat file and at tached to a handle a'joiit three feet long. With this tcol I cut olT all dead canes and pull then out between the rows as I pass olong. Then n week or two later I go over th? rr.no rows and cut back oil the new wood tbnt Is to frrdt this year. My raspberries are pinched In sn:nm:?r. o this growth Is mostly lateral end in trluimed to nbout two feet long. Plants tct the year pre vious are out ebont one foot. This leave3 tho dead wood nnd trim mines In t'je nlddlcs, where after ward they era pulled to ends of rows with n cue-bores rnk?, then piled and burned. This leave the plantation really for cnlllvatlo.i. which begins rows ti'r.o lu May. I us? a one-horse line wiLv a viae sweep fcr the back I tcoill. .

Gooseberries nnd currnhts nro gone over In the same way, ex cept tliat usually thero is not much t'.end wood to remove nnd tot so'mueb trimming is .necessary. I shorten tons of the longest growth and thin old wood where too thick. The cul tivation Is tho same as'for raspberries end blackberries. Tho only Insect enemy of these fruits Is the currant worm, which will rat all leaves from currants, and goose b?rries If not prevented. These worms appear soon after the bushes are In full leaf. They are easily killed with Paris green and wnter put on with a Cno spray. I use weak Bordeaux mix ture and Tnrls green.

Rye la not a profitable grain crop on good wheat hind. It will not yield with whent, and Its long, soft strnw Is difficult to bnrvpst. It will not pay for the grain alone on good land. If the soil Is a depleted clay, heavy and cold, rye 'Will prove more prolllable than w heat. It Is a soil Improver. If sown In the full on very thin hind and per muted to mature, the grain, remaining iinhnrvpslpit on the ground until the next full, then nil turned under, the poorest, saddest land. If well drained, Will grow clover .fairly well, Rye will furnish considerable pas ture for sheep and swine iu early spring, nnd Is not only nn excellent cover crop, but Is probably (he surest crop for fall and winter pasture. "(?"' HORSE TECHNICALITIES. A white spot on the forehead Is a star. A white face from eye to eye Is a bnld face. A strip between the nostril Is a snip. A white eye Is n glass eye. A horse has pasterns, not ankles, nnd there Is no s'":h point ns a hind knee or fore shoulder. White around the top of the hoof Is n white coronet. White below the pastern or above the pastern Is a white leg. A snip cannot be nnywhere but on Iho nose. Amble Is a gait like pacing, but slower. In which the two legs on the sciue Bide nro iroved together. Tho croup is that part of the ho.se buck of the saddle. The forearm Is that part of tho leg between the elbow nnd the knee, nnd the elbow Is the Joint of tho foreleg next to the knee r.nd not t ) t'i3 side. When the horse forges It strikes tho toe of the forefoot with the too of the hind one, and this is sometli ics the result of bad shoeing. Every one should know that the hand, a term commonly used iu desc. lblug thp hplght of n horse, Is one-third of a fojt, or four Inches, APFLYINO MANURE. Fnrners will have their own views and practices bow to apply the uauure. Circumstances and coiu'ltlons will make more or less difference. A farmer should study tho matter carefully nnd by experimenting on bis own hind try to find tho best methods. RotU methods of plowing nanv.ro un der and surface iippllcution nro prac ticed, and each will bnvo its advan tages. Coarse, strawy manure should produco the be:;t results by plowing under, as It Is dllllcult Incorporating it with the surface soil to uny satisfac tory degree by harrowing. Turned under It will be cut cf tho way cf culti vation, decay and furnish food for tho roots of the plains as they extend downward. It will also serve to lis'-iten tho sail, and furnish vegetable matter which Is of importance. The writer used to have an idea that surfueo r.ianui'lng, nt least on his cwu In. id, was nit i gctlicr tho best, but later developments rather ludleato that plowing the inr.n uro under has its advaulaes, and is to bo preferred.
