They tell story of princely generosity
Of an Oakland millionaire in California.
He was in San Francisco with his little
son in carriage; had stepped aside to
converse with a friend a few minutes, be-
fore leaving town for the drive home, and
left his spirited horses standing with the
reins in the boys hands, The horses took
fright, and dashed off at full speed out one
of the roads. The father stood paralyzed
with terror, and he felt himself entirely
helpless, and the boys life in great dan
ger. A swarthy Spaniard saw the horses
start, and grasped the whole situation in a
twinkling. He mounted his horse, and
was after the runaways like flash of
lightning. He gradually gained on the
carriage, and finally came up with it. He
secured the reins in his hand in way
that none but Spanish vaquero could
have done, and succeeded in checking the
horses mad career. The affair ended with
his getting into the carriage and driving
the boy back to his delighted father unhurt.
The man was evidently poor, and the
Oakland gentleman, in cordially thank
ing him for his heroic act, invited him to
his country-seat the next day. After a
good deal of hesitation the Spaniard &C
copied the invitation. He had work that
was pressing, but the gentleman would
not take no for an answer. He went, and
was again both feelingly and substantially
thanked The Spaniard thought nothing
of what he had done It fell in his way
to assist fellow creature, and he did it;
that was ALL The Oakland gentleman
thought that it was not all He had moth
ing worth giving yesterday, but he felt
that the service demanded something be-
sides cold thanks. He took the Span
iard's hand and pressed into it the whole
weight of his obligations, two silver half
dollars, and hoped the savior of his son
might be happy. The Spaniard was so
ungrateful as to refuse the munifcent gift,
mounted his horse, put spurs in its TANKS,
and dashed out Of Oakland, leaving the
millionaire stupefed at this new exhibi-
ton of the mans ingratitude. The Span
lard having lost day, hurried about his
business, and the Oakland man is one sill
yer dollar richer than he supposed him

glycerine, and the chemical combination
thus forms an explosive of incalculable
power. So powerful and dangerous is
this article that not an ounce of it is al
lowed in the mandatory, while this little
tube, six inches long and half an inch in
diameter, is being filled, and this tube is
kept constantly swathed in ice during
the process. To make giant powder, this
nitro glycerine is allowed to drip upon a
clay 1similar to meerschaum) imported
from Germany. The clay is the only per-
feet absorbent of nitro glycerine known
AS Hercules powder is darker, it is be-
lieved that that explosive is manufactured
by the same process, charcoal, an imper-
feet absorbent, being used instead of said
quality of clay. If, in the manufacture of
nitro glycerine, a strong tube is kept
swathed in ice, and aquantity of the liquid
only six inches in length and half an inch
in diameter is allowed in the building at
the same time, no wonder that General
Won Bokkelen, with his preparation
twenty per cent more powerful, remarked
that he would have it handled thermom-
eter in hand !-Vsrgsfid City Chronicle.

Why Not Try 1t?

IF you believe, as thousands of farmers
do, that the moon has a powerful influ-
ence on the growth of plants and animals
which inhabit this globe, try and find out
just how far it extends, and not say this or
that is so, because my father or grand
father said so. Perhaps you believe that
pea-pods will not fill we'll unless the seeds
are sown at a certain time of the moon, or
that pork and beef will shrink in the pot
when boiled if the animals are killed when
the moon is on the wane. There are hun
dreds OF other things upon which the
moon is supposed to exert an influence,
and we suggest that the believers in these
signs make few experiments, and once
and for all settle the question whether
they contain a particle of truth or not.
But in making such experiments for the
purpose of learning the truth, man must
lay aside all his beliefs and go In only for
facts. Neither will it do to render de-
cision from the results of one experiment,
because variations may occur through
changing the time week or two, or the
weather may be more or less favorable.
This of course would only need to be
taken into consideration in putting in
certain kinds of crops The true believer
in signs and wonders is usually the last
man to seek the truth, for fear he may
find himself in error; hence the difficulty
Of getting ray of light into his brain.
SOWING GRASS SEED.
The almost universal practice of our
farmers is to SOW their grass seed with
some kind of grain when they wish to
seed down field for meadow or pasture.
The idea that the grass seed would do far
better if sown alone, seems never to have
entered the heads of one farmer in hun
dred. We mentioned this subject a year
or two ago, and endeavored to show the
folly of this double-crop system, and at
the same time referred to some of our
most intelligent farmers in the Eastern
States, who had pfacticed the sowing of
grass alone for years with the most salts
factory results A writer in cotempor-
AIRY journal, published not hundred miles
from New York, took us to task for talk
ing so fippantly about seeding down land
by sowing grass seed alone, and then ask
ed if anybody had ever done such a thing
and succeeded. If any farmer has doubts
in regard to this system, why not try it,
instead of living year after year without
giving it trial. If his faith is not strong
enough to carry him over ten-acre field,
let him confine his experiments to half
acre, and determine for himself it's prac-
ticability. The result may not be the
same upon all kinds of land or in all O.

ca1ities; hence the necessity of expert

calities; hence the necessity of expert
mentS e t su H3 ra
DEEP OR SHALLOW FLOWING.
This is another question frequently de-
bated without arriving at any satisfactory
conclusion, simply because soils and eli
mates vary, and system of culture which
may be very profitable in one locality
might be ruinous in another The farmer
has the privilege of trying both, and he
should do so, and decide fror1 experience
which is best for him, without regard to
the opinions of others. ss-
APPLICATION AND KIND OF FERTILIZERS.
Formerly the rule was to mix all kinds
Of fertilizers with the soil at the time of
application, but later school OF agrlcul-
turists advocate surface manuring instead.
1t is claimed that the soluble portions of
| coarse manure are carried down into the
soil, and more thoroughly and evenly dis
tributed by the rain when spread upon
the surface than when plowed under. It
is very simple matter to test the two
methods side by side, and determine
which is best A thousand times a year
come the questions-Is lime valuable to
spread upon land and how much can a
man afford to pay per bushel for it !?
What about land plaster ? and would you
advise a man to pay five, ten, or twenty
dollars per ton for the same to apply to
some particular crop? Our answers to all
such inquiries are: Why not try it? For
who can determine the value of such
things better than yourself? We have
known the application of few bushels of
lime per acre to produce most wonderful
results, and in other localities and upon
different kind of soil it had no apparent
effect. The same is true of plaster, salt
and many of the concentrated manures
sold in our markets, and man need not
act as though he was blind while he has
eyes and opportunities for deciding such
mooted questions for himself.
Every mans life is full of opportunities
for obtaining knowledge, and the farmer
especially needs to be on the alert, in gain
ing that which shall aid him in securing
the fullest return for his labor So varied
and variable are the circumstances under
which he is placed, that general princi-
pies must not be considered more than a
foundation upon which he builds the
structure. Even seed-time and harvest
vary in different seasons, and so must all
the operations upon the farm, which
should be occasionally varied to suit
varying circumstances.
Doubts should never exist for any
length of time when there is an oppor-
tunity for ascertaining the truth. There
fore, we urge farmers to make expert
ments in blowing deep and shallow, SOW
seed deep and others lightly, and find out
which system is really the best. Lay
aside all prejudices for or against this or
that system of culture, remembering that
mind and matter are progressive.-Neat

On last New Years day, a lad named
Sidney G. Bourne, whose parents reside in
Chicago, went out on the lake skating,
and yenturing out too far, his con companions
ice A few days ago dead body was
picked up in the lake and taken to the
morgue, and from the circumstance of a
pair of skates being attached to the feet.
the parents of young Bourne felt convinced
that the body was that of their son, which
upon examination proved to be the case
Of course they had long since abandoned
all hope of ever recovering the body, and
were thus strangely and sadly gratiied
