The NECESSITY OF DRoUGHrs.- State
agricultural chemist of Maryland, Mr.. Hig-
gins, publishes paper, showing the necessity
Of droughts to replenish the soil with mineral
substances, carried off to the sea by the rains,
and also taken up by the crops, and not re-
turned by manure. These two causes, always
in operation, would, in time, render the earth
a barren waste, in which no verdure would
quicken, and no solitary plant take root, if
there was not natural counteraction by
drought, which operates to supply this waste
in the following manner. During dry wea-
Their continual evaporation of water takes
place from the surface Of the earth, which is
not supplied by any from the clouds. The
evaporation from the surface creates vacuum,
so far as water is concerned, which is at once
filled by the water rising up from the subsoil
Of the land /; the water from the subsoil is
replaced from the next strata below, and in
this manner the circulation of water in the
earth is the reverse to that which takes place
in wet weather. With this water also ascend
the minerals held in solution, the phosphates
and suphates of lime, carbonate and silcate
Of potash and soda, which are deposited in
the surface soil as the water evaporates, and
thus restores the losses sustained as above
stated The author of this theory appears to
have taken considerable pains to verify the
fact by number of interesting experiments.
The subject is worth the attention of men Of
leisure and of education, who pursue the ra.
tiona system Of blending chemistry with
agricultural science.

APPLES, AS AN ARTICLE OF FooD-With
US, the value of apples as an article Of food,
is far moderated. Besides containing large
amount of sugar, mucilage, and other nutri-
tive matter, apples contain Vegetable acids,
aromatic qualities, &C., which act powerfully
in the capacity of refrigerants, tonics and
antseptics; and when freely used at the sea-
son Of mellow ripeness, they prevent debility,
indigestion, and avert, without doubt, many
of the ills which flesh is heir to-" The
operators of Cornwall, England, consider ripe
apples nearly as nourishing as bread, and far
more SO than potatoes. In the year 1901
which was year of much scarcity-apples,
instead Of being converted into cider, were
sold to the poor; and the laborers asserted
that they could stand their work" on baked
apples, without meat ; whereas, potato diet
required either meat or some other substan-
tial nutrment. The French and Germans
use apples extensively, as do the inhabitants
Of all European nations. The laborers de-
pend upon them as an article of food, and
frequently make dinner of sliced apples and
bread There is no fruit cooked in as many
different ways in our country as apples nor
is there any fruit whose value, as an article
of nutriment, is as great, and so little appre-
ciated.-Aibany Journal.

A FACT IN MANURINe.-A person carrying
some orange trees from China to the Prince
of Wales island, when they had many hun
dred fruit on them, expected good crop the
next year. but was utterly disappointed. they
produced but few. A Chinese, settled in the
island, told him if he would have his trees
bear, he must treat them as they were accus-
toned to in China and he described the fol-
lowing process for providing manure ga
cisterD, SO lined and covered as to be air-tight,
is halffled with animal matter, and to pre-
vent bursting from the generation of air, q
valve is fixed, which gives way with some diff
fculty, and let's no more gas escape than is
necessary the longer the manure is kept the
better, till four years, when it is in perfec-
ton it is taken out in the consistence nearly
of jelly, and small portion buried at the
root OF every orange tree-the result being
an uncommony great yield" A person hear
ing of the above fact, and wishing to abridge
the term of preparation, thought that boiling
animals to jelly might have similar, if not
so strong an effect. Accordingly, he boiled
several puppies, and applied the jelly to the
roots of sterile 6g-tree; the benefit was very
great-the tree from that time for several
years bearing in profusion. Hints Of this
kind are well worth preserving, for though an
English farmer may neither have the appara.
tus of the Chinese, nor puppies enough to
become an object of attention, yet the rcduc-
ton of manure to mucilagnous state ough,
perhaps to be carried further than it is.-Er

LEGISLATIVE PRgoocITY. the early his
tory of the State of Indiana, Sullivan county.
portion of the State famed for its inAexible
adherence to Democracy, elected Sol. Tur-
man, of Turman's creek, to represent it in
the Assembly. 1t was his first experience in
legislative life, and the mantle Of its dignity
at first sat but uneasily upon his broad shoul-
ders. He got along pretty well, however, by
dint of saying nothing, and always voting as
Mr.. A. did, whose name was called
first, and who was bright and shining light
among the faithful, until one day he " took
down the house" as follows -
He happened to come into the Hall in the
midst of some business which rendered it ne
cessary to know the population of several Of
the counties, and the Speaker not having the
documents at hand, was asking the members
for the information. As soon as his eye fell
upon Mr.. Truman, he addressed him -
"Ah, Mr.. thurman, what is the population
of your country?'
Dir. Truman, taken entirely by surprise -
"Sir, we have scarcely no popular in the
country the timber is all oak, hickory, birch,
and maple, with very small. chance of popu-
lar in the bottom"
Mr.. SPEAKER" You misunderstood me-
What is the census of your country 2"

Cork, if sunk two hundred feet in the ocean,

Of two miles. We ourselves heard across

WASHING SILVER WARE-It seems that
housekecpcrs who wash their silver ware with
soap and water, as the common practice is,
do not know what they are about. The pro-
prieter of one of the largest and oldest silver
establishments in the city of. Philadelphia,
says that " housekcepers ruin their silver by
washing it in soap suds; 1t makes it look like
pewter. Never put particle Of soap about
your silver, then it will retain its original
lustre; when it wants polish, take piece of
leather, and whiting, and rub it hard"

A recent savant touches upon the chrono-
logical decadence Of mankind since the crea-
ton, in the article of height. He tell us that
Adams was one hundred twenty three feet,
nine inches Ewes one hundred and eighteen
feet, nine and three quarter inches; Noah's
one hundred and three feet; Abraham's,
twenty-seven. feet; {" what a falling off was
there p') that of Moses, thirteen feet; Alex
ander's, ten feet and Julius Caesars five feet.
BY the same scale of decsdence, suggests this
author, if Providence had not been graeiously
pleased to arrest it, we, in our day and gener-
ton, would have been no bigger than beetle
hn0s

LET GO MY TA1L."-At Newton, Upper
Falls, Massachusetts, recently, COW, while
quietly grazing beneath = revolving shaft,
about six feet from the ground connecting
two buildings at Petee's machine shops, got
the end of her tail entangled and began to
wind up. Poor "Mooly," became aware Of
the trouble in the camp, made vigorous
spring, which dissolved her connection with
the treacherous iron leaving her with stump
about six inches long-greatly to the conster-
nation Of the Hiberian who held her by the
rope.
