THE little island Of Ayios Strait, stu
ated to the south of the island of Lem
nos, has for some years past been
troubled by an annual invasion of To-
Gusts. The plague Of these insects has
become so intolerable that the local au-
thorities Of the island lately instituted an
investigation Of the matter, and dis
covered that the nuisance was attribute
bic to sorcery. A council was immedi-
ately held, and presided over by the
Turkish Governor, at which it was de-
cided to make an example of the guilty
parties. Seven women suspected of
witchcraft were at once taken into Gus
tody, and, failing to produce any salts
factory proofs of their innocence, were
condemned to be cast into deep pit in
an ancient building. The witches. one
of them being an old woman Of ninety
and another young girl of sixteen, were
kept alive during month with pro.
visions which their relatives were al
lowed to lower to them by means Of
ropes. Two of the women were married
and their husbands were imprisoned and
heavily fined for being united to witches,
In the meantime Emin Bey, the Caima-
KAN of Lemnos, who has Jurisdiction
over Ayios Strait, hearing of these meas
ures, and also hearing that, notwith-
standing the imprisonment of the witches,
the locusts were as numerous and troub.
lesome as eyer, gave orders for the re.
lease of the captives. One Of the women
died shortly after her release, and the
affair has, according to the Dardanelles
correspondent Of the Lecant Heroyd, led
to legal proceedings. The released
witches and the two husbands who were
and fined cited their perse-
cutors to appear before the Medjliss Of |
Lemnos. As, however, }, the parties cited

Fall Plowinq.

TILLERs of the soil are often made the
butt of ridicule because of their diversity
of views and teachings in regard to their
calling. Few fundamental principles
seem to be settled and accepted as laws
Of agriculture. 1t is even questioned
whether agricultural knowledge is
worthy to be dignifed with the name Of
science. Every man seems to be law
unto himself. One man arrives at con-
illusions that are wholly at variance with
the long practice Of his neighbor. 4
close observer is able to trace in great
measure the causes of this diversity of
opinions and practices. Take the subject
of Fall Flowing 1t is often discussed
in the agricultural papers, and the
farmers are divided in their practice.
Some argue that it Injuries the land and
renders il less productive than when
plowed in the spring. Others affirm just
the opposite. The truth is in nutshell.
The circumstances of soil and weather
determine the result. And the man who
does not look beyond his reading and be-
yond his neighbors' practice for his
guide will likely 60 astray.
Heavy, sticky soils may be injured by
fall blowing. If soil has the quality of
a mortar-bed when soaked with rain it is
questionable if fall blowing is advan-
tageous. Such soil seems, when dis
turbed in the fall, to melt together
through the action of the SHOWS and
rains and become more compact and
hard, and does actually receive positive
injury, from which it will take twelve
months to recover.
Again, ordinary light soils, which usu-
ally are benefited by late fall blowing,
may receive positive injury when the
fall Of rain is excessive, especially if the
rains are driving and beating. If the
frosts Of winter had not the effect to
finely pulyerize the soil, which We be-
lieve ii has on the American Bottom, we
can see sufficient advantage for utilizing
the obnoxious grasses and weeds BY rot
ting them in the burrows.
We would say, then, to the agricultu-
rists OF the country, don't be frightened
from the good practice of blowing
your lands. Ordinarily it will succeed
TO your satisfaction. Failure is the ex-
ception. The safe rule would be for
every farmer TO test the two methods |
upon his own SOIL and thus intelligence
will direct his labor.-St. Loufs Repu5li-

The Last Rat Story.

The Cincinnati I'imes speaks OF war
Of determination made upon rats in a
certain establishment in that CITY. and
touches for the truth of the following:
Il was about ten o'clock this morning.
while the workmen were engaged in
cleaning out the cellar aforesaid. they
came across rats of all colors, sizes. ages,
that numbered by actual count 1000 to
an aught. The rodents, when they saw
their enemies, who came upon them IN
awares, had pressing business in other
parts of the building All Of them
started out at rafting rate on an excur
sion, but about 800 or less never reached
the secure retreat of friendly holes.
They dropped by the wayside, and
breathed their last. When the lively in
terest Of the discovery had ebbed to
wondering talk over the affair, fresh
impetus was given 10 the establishment
Of the workmen By the finding OF one of
them Of large bottle with a capacious
opening. In this bottle was a rat of IN
common size. living as snugly as if he
desired no other happiness than to re-
main there always and look out on the
risky sports of his kind 4 very good
reason for this wish can be offered in his

upon his companions TO bring him such
delicacies as very sick rat would crave.
His disease being prolonged, owing to the
lncompetency Of his doctors, nature used
her own restoratives, and the afflicted
rodent became well again. But he found
that in the meantime he had reached
maturity, and. through the unceasing at
tention Of his nurses and the good things
which were provided for him, that he grew
to be of large, vigorous frame and had a
superabundance of muscle for an ordi-
nary rat. So we'll did he fare and grow

lection of his glass palace he could not

Viviseetion-Do Animals Suffer?


The discussion growing out of Mr..
Bergh's opposition to the practice of yivi-
section, on the ground that animals suf-
fer intense pain under mutilation for
scientific purposes, has resulted in the
publication of some very curious and
interesting facts from men authorized to
speak on both sides of the question, and
none more SO than we find in a recent
letter from DR.. Crosby, NJ. d., of New
FORK, TO the Tribune.
The sense of pain, according to the
doctors theory, is designed for the self
preservation Of al animals, each being
endowed with this quality to the extent
OF insuring this result. Some animate
when mutilated suffer much, while others
suffer but little or not at all al.

How to Use a Grindstone.

COMMON grindstone spindles, with a
crank It one end, are open to the great
objection that the stone will never keep
round, because every person is inclined,
more or less, TO follow the motion of his
foot with his hand, which causes the
pressure on the stone TO be unequal.
The harder pressure is always applied TO
the very same part of the stone and will
soon make it uneven, so that ii Is impos.
sible 10 grind tool true To avoid this
put in place of the crank small cog
wheel to the spindle, say with twelve
eogs: have another short spindle, with a
crank and a cog wheel of thirteen cogs
to work into the former. The stone will
make about 07 of revolution
more than the crank. and the harder
pressure of the tool on the stone will
change to another place at every turn
and the stone will keep perfectly round
if it is good one. This is very simple
continuance, but it will be new to many
of our readers-C Cabinet Maker.
