Brain work costs more food than
hand-work. According TO careful
estimates and analyses OF the exere-
tiOns, three hours Of hand study
wear out the body more than a whole
day of severe physical labor. An
other evidence OF the cost Of brain
work is obtained from the fact that
though the brain is only oBe-fOrtieth
the weight OF the body 1t receives
abODt one-ffth of all the blood sent
by the heart into the system
Brain workers therefore require a
more liberal supply Of food, and
richer food than manual labOrers.

mies.-Germany is about to increase
her military force by 100000 men, aud
Russia, whose army, including irregu-
lars, has hitherto numbered 1.309, ,0O2
men on a war footing, expects under
the new system TO have a force of g.
992, ,809 men at her disposal, not reck-
oning the local troops and the militia.
The new military organization of
France is not yet decided upon, but it
is believed that its result will be in
creased to l 100000 men. Italy, whose
war establishment hitherto amounted
to 5lS.6S0 men, Including reserves, pro-
poses, by the plan of reorganization,
which has been adopted by her gov
ernment to raise force of from 750,-
900 to 100000 men. The Turkish army

the ni2ams or militia is to be increas-
ell to 600,0 men. Finally the mill
tary force of England at home is to

SO warm that the hens were holding
their wings from their bodies for the
wind to cool them. Then we have
thunder showers closing up with cold
chilling rains, SO the farmer cannot
push his spring work to speedy
completion.
The wheat crop is not growing as

but it is not discouraging.

CoNCERT.-A troupe of nine gentle
men and ladies, (bell ringers) gave,
perhaps, the most Interesting concert
in the Town Hall last Saturday even
ing that we ever had in this place.
The music was made up of vocal, in

pieces received enthusiastic cheering.
One piece was performed by ringing
the bells and singing at the same time
by the'sa persons. Where ever this
troupe goes all should go and hear

Local items are scarce with us, un-
less can be permitted to run into the
Sabbath Schools and Missionary soci-
eties. where. undoubtedly something
might be picked up that would inter-
est a portion of your readers. The
pulpit, too, offers lengthy items for
some locals, but, inasmuch as / have
not seen one for several years, and as
our pulpits are about as other pulpits,
and as our ministers all preach from
the same book, it makes it very diff
cult to get stray item from that
source, unless by mousing around for
that especial purpose.
The prospects for a good apple crop
is very fiattering, and unless some dis
aster hereafter occurs, there will be a
fair peach crop, Notwithstanding the
predictions to the contrary. A large
number of f nit trees have been plant
ed in our vicinity this spring, perhaps
more than any one season before.
The 8. first whippoorwilPs song" last
week brought our farmers to a real
izing sense of the lateness of the sea-
son, and all hands and teams are
pressed into active service in getting
in spring crops. A larger breadth of
oats will be sowed this season than
usual.
Last Friday was class-dayv at
College, and notwithstanding the cold

witness the ceremonies. Perhaps 1
ought to explain what is meant by
ssclass-day." For several years it has
been customary for the graduating
class of each year to plant a tree in the
College yard with appropriate cere-
monies, and the occasion is considered
kind of intellectual holiday, if Il
may be allowed the expression. The
following announcement was made on
printed cards:

not being present the addl ess was de-

After the exercises in the chapel pro-
cession was formed and preceded by

the tree was to be planted. Every
member of the class assists in the
planting process, and when completed
the procession was marched around
the tree and returned to the chapel.
In the evening banquet was served
to invited guests, at which all had an
to display their talents,
by extemporaneous responses to toasts
and sentiments, which kept the party
busy till the wee sma hours" began

PLoUGHING ExTRAoRDINARY.-O
Monday, April 29th, from seven o'clock
and fifteen minutes, a. NJ, to four
o'clock and fifteen minutes P. NJ, Mr..
James De Long pleughed, with one
span of horses, owned by Mr.. William
T.Davis. three acres and sixteen rods
of land by actual measurement by
Martin A. Holcomb, Carson B. Nc
Lane and Brainard Selby, the ground
being cat and wheat stubble of 1871.
The ploughing was done in the best
manner, the burrows one foot wide
and well laid. The team was allowed
to rest one hour at noon. The time ac-
tually employed in performing the
work being eight hours. Another acre
could have been pIoughed before sun
down without injury to the team. Mr..
Davis challenges the whole commu-
nifty to furnish span of horses that
can endure to plow more ground in
dry season than his and do it as well.

set fire to the bedding of his bunk,
and when his cries brought assistance
he had nearly smoked himself out
