WHILE every one has been speaking OF
the present season as remarkable in its
characteristics, The Boston Globe gives
some facts concerning the year 1916, known
as the ''year without SUMNER 1t was
the coolest season ever known throughout
Europe or America. The winter was
mild. Frost and ice were common IN
every month of the year. Very little vege-
tation matured in the eastern and middle
states. The average price of flour during
the year was $l3 per barrel, and the
average price of wheat in England was
ninety-seven shillings per quarter. Old

A Pleasing Incident of the War.

The Richmond Enquirer, speaking of
Gen. w. II. Lyle, of Ohio, killed while
attempting to reinforce Gen. Thomas in
1868, uses the following language:
He was killed far in advance of his
command, while CALAMITY leading an as
sault upon our lines. His horse bore
his corpse into our lines, and the steed
and his dead rider were both captured.
So soon as it was known that the author
of that rare poem, as familiar and as
greatly admired South as North, 6
am dying, Egypt, dying" lay dead i'll
the camp, officers and men crowded
around to take last look at the poet
soldier who had achieved so great lit
erary triumph.
There was no rejoicing over the death
of this fallen enemy but there was, in
truth, something on each soldiers cheek
that for a moment washed away the
stain of powder. Tenderly they took
him up, and when the battle was over
an escort of honor, appointed from
among the leading Confederate officers,
bore him back to his own camp, under a
flag of truce, on a rudely-constructed
funeral bier, with his martial cloak
around him. In life he had touched
that chord of human sympathy which
makes all the world kin-and in death
its harmonious vibrations silenced al
resentment, and thrilled the hearts alike
of friends and foes with a nobler passion
than hatred or revenge.

Clubs and Oranges.

An Eastern paper, speaking of the
Iowa Oranges, says: One-third OF all
the elevators and grain warehouses in
the State are now owned or controlled
by Oranges, and no less than 100000
bushels of grain were shipped to Chi
cago on Grange account prior to Dec.
/ last.
The number of cattle and hogs ship
ped in the same manner is enormous,
and the reports received from all these
shipments show an increased profit to
the farmer of from 10 to 40 per cent.
as compared with the amount received
at the hands of the average middle
men" in times previous.
In the matter of purchasing agricul-
tural implements direct from the manu-
facturers, the Grange purchasers of the
State have saved the farmers, by actual
computation and comparison at the i'm
plement store, 1866, 900. For instance,
one class of reapers ranging as No. /,
retailing at S240, was sold to the Grange,
in tours or more, at $140-a clean "save
of 500 on each machine.-Pacifc

Horrible Death.

Mr.. James Morgan, senior partner in
lumber firm of j. Morgan & Co., of
Glenn's Fall, met with horrible death
early yesterday morning. 1t appears
that Mr. and Mrs Morgan retired about
their usual time on Thursday night.
About o'clock in the morning Mrs.
Morgan was aroused by hearing loud
noise, proceeding from the barn. She
awoke her husband, and he heard the
noise. He Immediately dressed him.
self, and as the lantern he usually car
ried when going to the barn was out of
order, he Lit Kerosene lamp and hur-
ried to the barn. After he had been
away some time, Mrs. Morgan became
alarmed at his absence, and, jumping
out of bed, looked out of one of the rear
windows and saw bright light and also
distinguished that the noise was louder
than before. She called for assistance,
and, dressing herself, hurried to the
barn. On reaching there horrible
sight met her gaze. The barn was all
on fire, and her husband was lying in
one of the stalls, and the horses tramp
ling on him. Mr.. Morgan and the
horses were all on fire. Owing to some
misunderstanding the firemen did not
arrive as early as usual, and when they
did nothing could be done 10 rescue
Mr.. Morgan. 1t is presumed that when
Mr.. Morgan reached the barn one of the
horses must have knocked the lamp out
of his hand and set the place on fire.
After the fire had been extinguished,
the body of Morgan, burned to a crisp,
was recovered. The deceased was
wealthy and highly respected. He was
60 years of age, and leaves wife and
two daughters to mourn his loss.-

Speech and the Tongue.

In the latest number of the Academy
is an article by Mr.. f. Ray Lancaster,
on the supposed necessity of the tongue
to speech, in the course of which the
writer says "The Shahs of Persia
appear to be iii the habit of causing this
operation (excision of the tongue) to be
performed upon their subjects-to-
gether with that of burning the eyes
with hot irons-when they have cause
to feel ill-disposed toward them and it
is well known in that country that the
power Of speech is retained after the
loss of the tongue. 1t is curious fact
that speech is often less impaired by
the removal of large portion of the
tongue than by merely cutting away the
tip f; and persons in the East who have
been clumsily operated upon by the
public executioner actually submit
themselves to kind of homeopathic
cure for the impeachment to speech
which such an operation produces they
have the tongue cut second time.
There is, then, no ground for the popu-
lar notion that the tongue is the oagan
of speech in the sense that the eye is an
organ of sight"

A Lady who has Received Miraculous
Healing Powers.

Olney, Richland county, though a
small place, is the site of great sensa-
ton. About two years ago it was an
nounced that i'll consequence OF an error
made in the United States Land Office
the title to all the lands in Olney was
worthless, and now it is reported the
same village is the location chosen for
the exhibition of the direct power of the
Almighty. The wife of Hon. j. A. Pow
ell, United States Collector for the dis
trict, resides at Olney. She is lady of
education, high social position, and n
member of the Presbyterian Church.
About year ago it was revealed to her
by what means does not appear-that
she was to possess the power of healing
diseases by the apostolic means of lay
ing on of hands. She paid no attention
to the revelation for some months, but
being lately greatly affected by the suf-
ferings of friends and neighbors, she
was moved TO try her powers, and found
that she was successful. The fame of
these cures spreading into the city and
the country round about, other patients
were brought to her, and these were
speedily relieved of their Affections. On
Friday last not less than 125 persons
were at her house, either to be healed
or to witness the miracles worked. The
lady declares that the power she pos
sesses is conferred upon her by the Al
mighty, and for it's exercise she will re-
ceive no gift or reward. give the
story as it was given me, and can only
say that, whoever else may scoff, many
of the people of Olney firmly believe it.

Value Of Onions.

The Pacific Rural Press says The
onion deserves notice as an article of
great consumption in this country, and
it rises in Importance when we consider
that in some countries, like Spain and
Portugal, it forms one of the common
and universal supports of life. 1t is
interesting, therefore, to know that, in
addition to the peculiar flavor which
recommends it, the onion is remarkably
nutritious. According to analysis, the
dried onion contains from twenty-five
to thirty per cont. of gluten it ranks
in this respect with the nutritious pea
and the grains. 1t is not merely as a
relish, therefore, that the wayfaring
Spaniard eats his onion with his humble
crust of bread as he sits by the refresh
ing spring but it is because experience
has long proved that, like the cheese of
the English laborer, it helps to sustain
his strength also, and adds, beyond
what its bulk would suggest, to the
amount of nourishment which his simple
meal supplies.

ALL our exchanges are full of precau-
tons against cholera. Taking all the
advice given, we learn that if man eats
nothing, drinks no liquors, drinks no
ice water, drinks no warm water, drinks
nothing else, wears flannel, bathes three
times day, keeps his backyard clean,
pays his taxes, avoids water, drinks
brandy, eats ripe fruit, wears nothing,
does not smoke, and follows such other
methods of preservation as his common
sense may dictate, he need have no fears
of cholera.

Preparing the Land FOR Grass.

We are apt, very apt, to overlook that
land intended for grass should receive
more thorough culture than any other,
because for years while in grass, it has
not the advantage of the pillow and other
implements to stir the soil, but must
rest and pack, and get more and more
in condition to keep out the air, and
let in and pass off less readily the water.
We should, therefore, thoroughly pre-
pare the soil. Plow as deep as may be,
and subsoil well pulverize and enrich
the soil-enriching it will make it more
loose and mellow, and keep it niger in
that condition, as well as increase the
yield. Such land will "catch its seed,
and if plentifully applied, will be GER
tain under anything like favorable cir
cumstances to form thick set. A little
top dressing, aided by the aftermath,
which should never be fed close, will
insure good crops-two cuttings a year.
But let there be a cold, hard under.
soil, and the seed put in in the usual
way-little of it and on harsh, reduced
soil, without manure-what can be ex
pected of it? Just what we see light
crops, getting lighter each year unit
it will hardly pay harvesting. Sucl
land, when the pillow turns it down, viii
be found to be hard. The sod amounts
to but little, whereas, in properly treated
land, it will yield from sixty to seventy
loads of manure per acre. A mellow
seed bed, deeply loosened soil, well en-
riched, plenty of seed sown as early az
possible, are the points to be secured il
putting down grass land.

The Best Beehive.

Mrs. Upper, of the Iowa Homestead,
answers novice who inquiries what hive
is the best, as he is just starting in the
honey business, as follows:
Our friend opens a wide question,
and if give an honest answer / shall
bring down upon my head the maledic-
tions of worthless patent beehive men.
1 am getting used to that, however, and
venture to say that if real cheapness
and convenience be required, a simple
hive, such as "Novice" recommends,
and which can be made for one dollar,
is as good as the best. / am putting in
some of these now, and am well pleased.
Everything that is essential can be made
for one dollar. Some, however, would
prefer few extras in the way of paint
and finish, but these are to please the
eye, not to help the bees. The movable
comb principle you must have, and a
deep frame is far the best. Make &
frame about one foot square, and hav,
your hives arranged so that the hive
will hold eight, ten, and even twelve O
these frames if you wish. If the ex
tractor is to be used (and you will fine

Republican. He says:
From one colony of Italian bees we
have three new colonies and 412 pounds
of honey. We have placed 1870 pounds
in the four hives for wintering, which
leaves 2S2 pounds surplus. We have
sold the surplus honey at 20 cents per

Inflammation OF the Joints.

The Joints of the horse are the seats
of two kinds OF inflammation one the
result of constitutional disturbance,
and almost always of rheumatic char
acter the other coming on gradually as
a consequence of the battering of hard
work. BY disease of the joints We
mean such as occurs in those called
round-bone," stihe-joint disease"
grogginess," etc., and not in those
which are rather external to the joints
than occurring in them, such as SPAWN
and ring bone The kind of inhamma-
ton which occurs in the joints without
work is generally of rheumatic char
acter, and comes on after catching cold
from standing in a draft, OF from SINH
lar cause.
Lameness in the stife-joint is very
rare, except as connected with sprains
or dislocation of the patella, accidents
which sometimes occur. Whenever this
Joint is diseased, or is the subject of
accident, it may always be detected by
the tenderness of pressure OF the joint,
and by the heat and soreness existing
there. If there is a sprain only, a few
days rest will generally set it to rights,
together with the application to the al.
jacent parts of the following embroca-
ton. Best -four of mustard, six ounces
liquor ammonia, one and half ounces
oil of turpentine, one and half ounces.
Mix with sufficient water, to form thin
paste.
