with strangers. The rear-guard Of

Land Washing.

One of the greatest objections TO our
farming operations in this country is
the tendency of our rich soil TO wash
off and rapidly deteriorate in fertility
Another misfortune is the difference
with which many farmers treat this i'm
portant subject 1t is plain to any OBJ
serving mind that field of rich, fertile
soil will yield double the amount of
one that has been thus neglected, and
suffered other malpractices. / have in
my mind now the case of a so called
farmer who allowed an old roadway, n
quarter of a mile in length, TO wash so
deep that a plough could hardly cross
il, when ten minutes work with spade
would have prevented it. And often
we see large, impossible bitches form
through valuable land, with no effort
to stay the fearful waste. This, wit
fearful voice, verifies the old saying, ga
stitch in time saves nine"
A few hints in regard to re nedies arc
in order. First, the land can be plowed
so as to help the case by running the
burrows crosswise of the rills. / pre-
fer to have the water flow in straight
rills at regular intervals, and to pre-
vent these from washing deeper, back
corn-stalks, large green weeds, fine
straight brush, etc, in the bottom, and
allow the grass AMI weeds to grow in
these bitches. Thus the water has
something to wear on, and with a little
care much soil can thus be saved. Bat
the best manner to preserve the fertili-
ty of the soil is, as any intelligent
farmer knows, to seed down to grass,
especially clevers, not forgetting the
importance of the proper use OF ma
nure CIR. WesterTl Farmer.

Actors and Society.

A writer in an English paper says
"No doubt the stigma imposed upon
the stage since the time of Thespis is
due to some suspicion in the public
mind that the social morals are never
observed with all the exactness possible
by the professors of the dramatic art.
In France the church for ages brutally
refused them christian burial, and even
among ourselves acts of parliament
treated them as vagabonds. But / have
been assured, on eminent authority,
that such suspicion is groundless, and
that the attitude of society towards
these children of the sock and buskin
has arisen from misconstruction of
their conduct and behavior. The levi
ty it condemns is only the outward ex-
preston of an artles5 nature, unencum-
bered with the conventionalities of life.
OF course men and women of the stage,
as we'll as other people, make casual
slips. According to tradition, some
even among the angels have fallen. But
as race the theatrical profession is dis
tinguished for higher code of morals
than any other class and it is contend

her desire to cultivate art and virtue.
The world always treats its best people
uniustly, and thus scandal misappre-
hends and misinterprets the ingenious
ways of the actor and actress. The life
they lead, regarded in its true signif.
cance, is therefore to be regarded as n
protest of nature and impulse against
the hard, cruel, and absurd laws of So
ciety, and as such should secure sympa-

Ideal Feet

The celebrated anatomist, Prof. Hyrtl,
of the Vienna university, recently open
ed one of his lectures to his class with
the singular question, Which is the
most beautiful foot, considered from
the anatomical standpoint p and then
said "It is remarkable that there can
be so many divergent opinions on this
subject. While the sons of men look
upon a small, slender and graceful foot
Gf a ladys foot) as an ideal one, the
anatomist utterly rejects it as beauti-
full, and only the large, long and broad
foot is the ideal one in his eyes. Even
the greatest classical writer's of antiqui-
ty-Horace, Catullus and others-who
had great appreciation of feminine
beauty, never mentioned. in the de-
scriptions of their beloved, their small
feet. The people belonging TO the Gel
tic race have small feet the Hindoos,
especially, have such small feet and
hands that they may be envied by many
European countesses. The native
troops of the English army in India
possess in England their own armory,
where peculiar kinds of weapons are
constructed for them. The sword hits
made for them are much too small for
us to grasp with ease. The greatest
beauties of Europe-the Italians-have
really long and broad feet"

Suicide in a Fiery Furnace.

The Scranton Republican of recent
date says: "The men working on the
night shift at the blast furnace of the
Lackawanna Iron and Coal company
were Mortified by one of the most
shocking cases of self-destruction that
has ever occurred in this city. The vic
tim of the suicide was a young man
named Theodore Marone, who, while
the workmen at No. 5 furnace were en-
loving short respite from their labors,
took advantage of their temporary ab-
sence and plunged into the seething
furnace, which at the time was at a
white heat. His cries attracted the at
tention of one of the workmen named
Duffy, who, together, with his compan-
ions, ran to the furnace and looked
down, only to see Marone gyrating
amid the liquid fire, and waving his
hands and feet in the mo st intense ago
nv. A long handled shovel was lowered
to him, but he was unconscious of its
presence. One of the men ran imme-
diately and stopped the blast, but
human aid was of no avail to save the
unfortunate man in the furnace, and
he was dragged up as quickly as posi-
BILE by means of large hook a charred,
di.fgured, and unrecognizable mass.
He could not have been in the furnace
above few minutes, as his first lshrill
cry was heard by the workmen who has
tened to his assistance, but the intense
heat of the place was sufficient to de-
stroy life if he had been there more
than a second. Marone was a native of
Pomarn, East Prussia, where his father
occupied position as professor in one
of the gymanisums or schools of
place, in which Theodore was also
employed as teacher. He was sub
sequently engaged in the war. that

Austria, and emigrated to this country

Mrs. President Polk During the War.

Mrs. Sarah Polk, widow of President
James K. Polk, in her application to
congress for 81, 900 to reimburse her for
property taken during the late war, says
that at the beginning of the rebellion
her whole sympathies and feelings were
with our government, and she thought
secession and rebellion were wrong and
talked against it. After the war began
her sympathies were with the southern
people as relatives and citizens but she
never sympathized with efforts to break
up the Government, and in her actions
and sympathies she adhered to the
government throughout the war. The
court of claims. however, was not salts
fed with the evidence. The deposi-
tions of two colored servants were the

How they Kill Cattle in Texas.

The ordinary plan of drawing the
steer down to the block, and striking
him on the head with an axe, is too
slow for the wholesale butchery carried
on here. About one dozen head are
driven into q small pen, just suffi-
ciently large to hold that number
closely packed, and a gate forced to
behind them. This pen has an open
slat platform across the top of it, upon
which two men are stationed with poles
with sharp pointed knives fixed on the
end of them. With a rapidity acquired
by long practice, they plunge their
spears into the necks of the affrighted
and struggling animals, cutting the
iugular vein, and each successfully falls
as if struck down with an axe. The
blood spurts out in streams as if from a
dozen fountains, and in less than min
ute the whole pen full are down culver
ing in the throes of death, and covered
with blood. The door of the pen lead
ing into the rendering room is then
thrown open, the animals drawn out in
succession, a knife rapidly splits the
skin around the neck and down the
stomach. A rope is attached to the
upper part of the hide by a clamp, to
the other end of which is mule, which
Ieisurely walks off down the yard car
rying the skin of the animal with him,
and leaving the carcass still quivering
with animal life. A tackle hoists the
body up to a level with the mouth
of one of the immense caldrons, and
in less time than we have taken to
describe the process, it is in the seeth-
ing and boiling mass. There are four
or five of these caldrons, each large
enough to hold a dozen beeves, and they
are kept constantly going during the
killing season. The tallow is drawn off
into large hogsheads, and the remains
of these great soup kettles are carted
out on to what is called the "hash
pile" consisting of bones, horns, and
the animal matter from which all the
fatty substance has been extracted.
