WIRES CARRIED OFF

2:30 Physicians complain that the

during the last interval. and think il
is no use to go on. but finally effect
a circuit by placing steel scissors TO
the battery and placing their hands
on the body, thus letting the elec
tricity pass through their own bod
les. DIR Jackson can hardly stand
the shock.
DIR Jackson-Wo it be better
to take little blood?
Ayes.
DIR Jackson punctured the medinu
cephalic vein in the bend of the FL
bow, and the blood spirits upon his
linen clothing.
Spectators think the arm filnches.
but it does not.
About three ounces of blood are
let out, and water is dashed upon
him.
Drs. Jackson and Mcdonald are
reinforced by DIR Sanders.
DR. Jackson-His mouth (which
was very frothy) should be kept

The crowd are very forward and

A New METHOD OF GRATING .-Hr
Sullivan Hutchinson. of Bristol, in this
State, has recently patented process Tor
mixing fruit trees from limbs. Mr. Hutch
tnson claims that BY this method such fruit
bearing limbs as may be conveniently spared
can be transformed into independent trees
that will continue bearing from the hrst year,
rernIarlv. as before. The process Is as
follows Into the limb which Is intended
for the fpture tree. small roots are grated,
or in some wav inserted under the bark
inst above where the linIp is to be severed
Sucb limbs are required to be from one to
two inches in diameter. Below these roots
the branch is girdled. A small box hlied
with earth is enclosed about the limb IN
nosition to embrace these roots. DURING
the summer these roots grow, and the con
nection is formed with the limb above. The
following fal! and box viii be hlled viii
roots. when the limb may be cut from th'
parept stock and set in the ground. 1t
claimed that the next year this new tree VII
bear fruit Just as though it had not beef
severed FROM the original tree.

To REJUvENATE OLD GRAPEvINEs-
The editor of the Practical FdrH'er says:
Having on our premises, planted by foSner
owners, probably twenty years ago, halt a
dozen old grapevines, with large weather
beaten trunks or stems, which made annually
but little new wood, and yielded but very
few poor grapes, two seasons ago We cut OH
the branches, and laid the main stems down
in trenches, covering with about foot OF
earth. Vigorous and healthy shoots sprang
up in great abundance, the weak ones OF
which were broken off, and leading ones, at
a proper distance, trained to the arbor.
The new growths are now clean, healthy
and strong-suficicnt entirely to cover the
large arbor the present season; we now look
for bushels of fruit from the new-bearing.
We see old grapevines everyw here doing 10
good, and which could be made young and
thrifty by this process.

CHECK REIN.-A good horseman will
always drive with tight Cein-just so tight
that the animal will feel gentle pressure
on the bit and if the check rein is not too
tight, this is the best safeguard against STUN
bling. The carriagehorse is often cruelty
punished BY the unmerciful tightness of
the check rein; his mouth becomes cal!ous
by the constant hard pressure of the bit,
and loses its sensitiveness to the gentle pres
