" Some Shaking. -

Tom is a queer genius. and let's off
some tall ones occasionally. He vis-
tied as the other day in our sane
tum with show do you do, old fell
low2
"Hello, Tom, " said we, "where
have you been to SO lOng2"
"Why sir, I've been down on
Severn river, in Anne Arundel coun-
try, taking Shanghai notes on the
chills and fever.
"Ah indeed, said we "are they
very bad down there?"
Rather bad, said Tom, dryly.
"There is one place where they
have been attempting to build a
brick house for eight weeks-wel,
the other day as the hands were put
ting up the bricks preparatory to fin
fishing it, they were taken with chill
and shook the whole building COM
pletely down, and kept on shaking
till the bricks were dust of the finest
quality. Just at that juncture, the
chills came on with renewed force,
and they commenced shaking with
such gusto, that they were entirely
obscuFed for hours, and the people
of the neighborhOod thought the sun
was in an eclipse. 3"
Gas!" said We.
"Not at all, said Tom.
"Why, was sixteen miles down
the river the other day, and saw
four men carrying a big pine log
from on board a schooner to the
shore. The chills came on, and
they shook the log, which was thir-
ty feet long, all up into pieces of
the proper length for frewood, and
then taking q reshske of it, gpi4
it up, at the same time shaking all
the knots out of it.
"Can't believe anything like that,
Tom.
"Its fact, said Tom, and he
resumed" there's a farmer down
there who, In an applepicking sea-
son, hauls his niegers out to the or
chrsd, and sets one up against each
tree. In short time the chill
comes on, and every apple in the
ground. +"
/" Incredible, said we, holding
our sides with our hands.
"Fact said Tom, they keep q
man alongside of each negro to
take him away as soon as the fruit
is of, for fear that he will shake the
tree down."
Tom continued "Mr. S-a
friend of mine, and a house-car-
penter, Was engaged few days ago
in covering the roof of a house with
shingles. Just as he WAS finishing,
the chill came on and he shook
every shingle of the roof. Some of
them are supposed to be flying
about yet "
Another gentleman near the
same place, was taken with q chill
the other day at dinner, and shook
his knife and fork down his throat,
besides breaking all the crockery-
ware on the table. His little son,
who was sitting on the table at the
same time, was taken with q chill and
shook all the buttons off his inexpres-
sibles, and then shook himself clear
of them"
We then prevailed upon Tom to
desist, who did so with the under
standing he was to give Us the 9th
or ct soIae other time.

Anne Arundel county viii please

THE size of Brazilian turtles may be
imagined from the fact that the flip
pers and feet of one, in crawling over
the sand leaves a track Of two irregu-
lar grooves three or four feet apart as
though great wagon with cog wheels
had been driven over the ground.
It is an easy matter to find turtles
nest by travels far up on the beach to
lay her eggs in the sand, digging a
hole foot and half or two feet deep
for the nest. Professor Aartt, who
was in Brazil with Professor Agas-
siz, says that he saw q turtle depos-
it one hundred and forty three eggs
in one of these nests. The eggs are
all laid at one sitting, then covered
up closely with the sand and left to
hatch. The eggs are rather larger
than hens eggs, round, and covered
with a tough white skin. The Bra
zilians eat the eggs, and also the flesh
Of the turtle. The creature is cap
tured in a curious way. Two per-
sons go behind it, and taking hold
Of the shell, turn the animal on its
back, In which position it is at the
mercy Gifts captors, as it is impos-
sible for it to tuFu oyer on its feet
again. The hunters are obliged to
creep up behing it cautiously, for
as soon az it Is alarmed it thrusta it's
fore paddles into the sand and
throws it behind, 80 that if the pur-
suers do not quickly close their eyes
they are hkelyto be blinded.

The Years. Product.

It is officially stated that the val
ne of all the farm products of the
United States during the past year
Excepting the live stock} amounts
20 81, 455. 100000. This represents
the years gross receipts, and it
looks immense enough. But great
deductions are to be made from it
before we can approximate to the
clear profits Of the year. The living
expenses Of our forty millions Of
people, for instance, are first to be
taken out /; and then all the taxes,
and the private debts falling due
and the interest at least OF the
others, must be deducted. We
should find on examination, there
fore, that the real prohts on las.
years production is not go great at
ter all We see that David A.
Wells, in q recent lecture, estimates
that if the whole annual accumula-
ton of the country was equally divi-
ded, each individual would receive
but $1T5. This shows how closely

A years cessation from work would
bring the greatest part of mankind
to starvation, even if they were as
well off on the average as the people
of the United States, which they are
far from being. Mr.. Wells also esti-
mates that the permanent aecumu-
lations Of the English nation for the
last eight hundred years amount to
thirty Thousand millions; those Of
the United States for the last two
hundred and fifty years amount to
twenty-five thousand millions. The
difference is owing to the greater
intelligence of our masses and the
superior natural advantages amid
which they are placed; while the
more general adoption of the labor
saving machinery here, especially
during the last fifteen or twenty
years, has also worked in our favor.

Corn Planting and Growing.

A correspondent of the Farmers
Union offers q few words on the sub
ject of corn planting and growing,
and as the time is at hand for far
mers to lay out their plans for the
forthcoming corn crop, we transfer
his ideas to our columns. He saws
In raising corn the crop should
be put in the ground not only for
his own profit, but also with view
to future crops that the farmer may
desire to raise afterward. I would
recommend to lay off the ground
for planting at least four feet and a
half the north or south way, so that
the sun may have fair chance,
which is the best Moderator that
can possibly be found, when the
conditions are right for its congo
NAL influence. The east and west
way / would lay out about two and
a half or three feet, and let remain
in the hill two stalks only. 1 would
recommend that planting should
be done earlier in the season, by
about eight or ten days, than the
majority of farmers are in the habit
of doing in this vicinity. I have
noticed that as a general thing ear
ly planting has produced the best
results by far.
Before planting be sure that your
seed is good, for if it is not, you
will be likely not only to lose your
crop, but your ground viii be neg
lected and your future crop viii be
affected by the neglect.
It is certain fact that working
land and exposing it to the elements
produces what I call q chemical &C.

Management Of BrOOms.

If brooms are wet in boiling suds
once a week, they viii become very
tough, viii not cut q carpet, last
much longer, and always sweep like
a new broom. A handful Of salt
sprinkled on the carpet viii carry
the dust along with it and make the
carpet look bright and clean. A
dusty carpet car. be cleaned by set
ting pail of cold water out by the
door wet the broom In it, knock il
to get off all the drops, sweep a yard
or so, then wash the broom as be-
fore and sweep again, being careful
to shake all the drops off the broom,
and not sweep too far at any time.
If done with care it viii clean q car
pet very nicely, and you viii be sur
prised at the quantity of dirt In the
water. The water may need chang
ing once or twice if the carpet is very
dirty. Snow sprinkled over q car
pet, and swept off before it has time
to melt and dissolve, is useful for re-
noYating a soiied carpet. Moisten-
ed Indian meal is used with good
effect by housekeepers. What is
said in the following is true:-In
many town aud city houses the
apartments receive but one thorough
sweeping week. Brooms wear out
carpets quite as much as feet do.

Hog Cholera,

A. G. F., Rockford, nl.-There are
many remedies for the cholera, and
several have been'pubished in theIl-
Illustrated Journal of Agriculture. As
q preventive to this disease, we note
that several extensive hog growers
IN Henry County, Illinois, say that
feeding steamed feed is a perfect

that no one there this season who

man in the United States lies be-

Vandebilt and A. Z. Stewart.
Probably neither of these gentle

supposed to be so much difference
between them. Sixty millions is q

are the following: A preachers wife was
invited to visit week among the peo
pie, and the price of her board was de.
Quoted from his salary. A missionary
with family and $400 year, cultivated
little garden. The secretary one day
asked him what the vegetables were
worth. Supposing the question one Of
mere curiosity, he assented to the esti.
mate of $lS. The amount was deducted
from his salary. At donation party a
paper of pepper was estimated at two
cents and deducted from the salary. So,
on like o, cnsinH, were ten cents, the
value Of Two fans. A stranger went to
an Episcopal church in Maryland, and
liked the sermon so well that he left five
dollars with the vestryman for the rec
tor. Deducted from salary. DR.. Prime
once preached for clergyman who had
sickness aud death in his house, and de-
clining the customary fee, told member
Of the consistory to give it to the afflicted
brother. The afflicted brother never got
the money. A minister preached extra
sermons at a watering place hotel, and
the boarders made up a purse for him.

augm ented to nine, because the inhabi-

tbe statues of those three muses., they
commissioned three celebrated sculptors
each 10 execute statues of the three
muses. in order that they might select
the most perfect. But when they were
brought before them, the whole nine were
SO beautiful that it was agreed to take
them all and place them IN the temple
of Apollo. under the name Of the nine
muses.. From this accident the tune
ful nine derived their origin, and six
other attributes of poetry were found Tor
