after a storm and found his dog kennel
buried under drift high as church.
He worked half an hour to dig his dog

his clerks what he had done, adding
A merciiul man is merciful to his

neighbors saw his wife and daughter
shoyeling out paths through the snow

Charcoal as an Absorbent.

CHARCOAL has been reputed to act as a
fertilizer because of its absorbent power
for ammonia. 1t does, in fact, condense
in its pores fifty to one hundred times it's
bulk OF ammonia gas, when its pores are
perfectly free from air moisture and all
other gases, and when the ammonia gas
is also unmixed with other gases. But
these conditions never exist in nature,
and the fact is that charcoal exposed to
the air never contains or absorbs any inn
portant amount of ammonia, and does not
fertilize by acting as ameans of collecting
and storing this gas. Charcoal is pow
erful Oxidizing agent, and this quality
may not unlikely come into play usefully
when it is mixed with the soil. DR.. STEM
house was the first to show that the offens-
i've gases which escape from purifying
animal matters are deodorized and de-
stroyed when made to pass layer of
charcoal dust, and that the result is
brought about by the oxygen gas condens-
ed in the pores of the charcoal A dead
rat nicely buried in cigar box, so as to
be surrounded at all points by an inch of
charcoal powder, decays to bone and fur
without manifesting any odor of putrefac-
ton, so that it might staud on a parlor
table and not reveal its contents to the
most sensitive nostrils. The gaseous pro-
ducts of decay under such conditions are
carbonic acid, ammonia and water, or the
same that would result were the ordinary
effluvium of purifying flesh burned in a
furnace. The soil often. if not always,
contains nitrogen in combination with
some form of humus, which is inert, or
at least not Immediately available as food
to crops. Charcoal, we should anticipate,
would hasten or set up oxidation of these
matters, and might liberate a portion Of
this inactive nitrogen in the form of am
monia or of nitrates, and thus enhance
the fertility of the SOIL This is, however,
but a speculation, bit of theory, and
while probable enough to warrant inves-
tigation, must not be accepted as fact
until it has proved to be such.-N. 7.

A Spiders Appetite.

IN order to test what a spider could do
in the way of eating, we arose about day
break one morning, to supply his fine
web with fly. At first, however, the
spider did not come from his retreat, so
we peeped among the leaves, and there
discovered that an earwig had been
caught, and was now being Toasted on
The spider left the earwig, rolled up the
fly, and at once returned to his "first
course" This was at halfpast five a. m.
III September. At seven a. M the earwig
had been demolished, and the spider af-
ter resting a little while, and probably
enjoying anap, came down for the fly,
which he had finished at nine a. m. A
little after nine we supplied him with a
daddy-long-legs which was eaten by
noon. At one o'clock a blow fly was
greedily seized, and with an appetite, APP
parently no worse for his previous indul-
gence, he commenced on the blowfy.
During the day, and toward the evening,
a great many small green flies, or what
are popularity termed midges, had been
caught i'll the Web of these we counted
100, all dead, and fast prisoners in the
spiders net Soon after dark, provided
with lantern, we went to examine
whether the spider was suffering at
all from indigestion, or in any other
way from his previous meals; in
stead, however, of being thus affected, he
was employed in rolling up together the
various little green midges, which he then
took to his retreat and ate. This process
he repeated, carrying up the lots in little
detachments, until the whole web was
eaten, for the web and its contents were
bundled up together. A slight rest of
about an hour was followed by the most
industrious web-making process, and be-
fore daylight another web was ready to be
used in the same way. Taking the rela-
tive size of the spider and of the crea-
lures it ate, and applying this to a man, it
would be somewhat as follows: At day
break, small alligator was eaten; at sew
en- a. M, a lamb; at a. M, a young cam
eleopard; at one O'Clock, sheep; and
during the night, one hundred and twenty
larks. This, we believe, would be very
fair allowance for one man during TWEEN
ty-four hours; and could we find one gift
ed with such an appetite and such di-
gestion, we can readily comprehend how
he might spin five miles of web without
killing himself, provided he possessed the
necessary neutrality-suspicious..

Why He Did not Attend the Meeting.
Hearth and Home tells the following a

Hearth and Home tells the following as
true story:
Our district was thrown into wonder
fully animated condition when our dele
gate returned from the caucus held in
New York City to determine upon a can
didate for the Gubernatorial office. Mr.
Steele was possessed of eloquence; we
had seen him bring whole meeting over
to his side, and we never doubted that the
man whom he proposed and commended
for would be the successful candidate.
We were then almost ready to tar and
feather him when he informed us that he
had not even been present at the caucus
and knew but little of its proceedings.
"Where were you them" some one de-
manded in an excited tone.
SIN bedp Mr.. Steele answered in the
coolest possible voice, and if it had not
been that we really esteemed and respect
ed the man so highly, can not vouch for
the consequences of that answer. II owe
you an explanation" he said presently.
II should say sop was the response in
half dozen different tones II reached
the city very late the night previous" the
gentleman began, "and repaired at once
to the hotel. On calling for room
learned that all were engaged except one
or two on the upper floor-nOt very desir-
able ones, the landlord was kind enough
TO assure me. Twas, however, too wearied
to look farther; and, as the night was al
ready half spent, concluded to accept of
the apartment, such as it was, and make
the best of it. | was surprised to find it
roOmy and pleasant in every way, much
better than l had anticipates"
"What has that to do with the meeting p"
some one interrupted.
"Wait and you will see," Mr.. Steele re-
sponded. II got to thinking over my
speech and the probable remarks of my
constituents to which I should reply, and
somehow I could not get to sleep.
Finally [ fell into a doze, from which l
was awakened suddenly by great deal of
CHATTER outside. l looked at my watch; it
was three O'Clock, and then / remembered
that [ was near the servants department,
which accounted for the noise I found
it impossible to sleep again, and lay pa
tiently waiting for the morning. The
commotion on the outside continually in
creased, and I began to pity the servants
who had to be up so early, and to CUES
ton why in the world il was necessary.
At five o'clock wondered why there was
no ray of light in my room, and began to
calculate degrees of longitude, but being
wearied with my vigils determined to
get up and dress myself. | opened the
door to get my boots, and flood of SUM-
light burst into the room. Irushed back
to the window, pushed it up, and saw that
it opened on to a solid brick wall. For
heavens sake then, what time was it!
ran to the door, called waiter, and asked
in as calm voice as l could command,
What the dinner hour was" "We've
had dinner, sir, long ago." he answered ;
''it's five o'clock in the afternoon. /
slammed the door to quickly; the meet
ing was over, the candidates chosen, and
| had slept during the entire day, while 1
thought | was only taking doze."

agent looked anxious. swell, no." NUT

Gas think / have just the article YOU

the superior advantages which this

said the Major. Suppose you jump in
the carriage with me and take a drive
over there. / should like to see it." The
adaJor consented, AID getting his overcoat

"Can you wash, iron, and bake?" q
YES, sir; l have worked out ever since

with nine small children. All who could

her age. Had never been to school.
Couldn't read word. And that baby

could do homework and earn a little
money with which to clothe herself and

Mushroom Culture.

An English mushroom grower writes
the Practical Farmer: The mode of cul-
ture which is the best adapted for a
farmer to carry out, is that which the
market gardener practices, who collects
short litter from the stables Gin town, y
throws it into heap, turns it over occa-
sionally till he sgets the fire out of it."
then makes his beds into a long ridge,
spawns and molds his bed, when ready,
in the usual way, and to protect the bed
from the two extremes of heat, he puts
over it matched hurdles, propping them
some few inches above the surface of the
bed. On these hurdles he adds straw,
long litter, or any other fbrous refuse at
hand, in thickness according to the exter-
nal temperature. In early alitnmn ths
