Killing the GrasshOppers.

An exchange encourages the farmers
of the other pest-ridden States to initiate
the example of their brethren of Mime
sofa in fighting the hoppers, where
trenches and rollers have been used with
excellent advantage, while by scattering
straw in those sheltered places where the
grasshoppers take refuge on cold and
windy nights, the torch has been en-
ployed with admirable results. 1t will
never do to sit down in despair. Bad as
the case may be, it might be great
deal worse. Besides, it is well to bear
in mind one or two facts that must be
considered exceptionally favorable in
these later experiences. The insects
have made their appearance unusually
early. Two or three years ago they ap-
peared in Missouri during May in count
less myriads, but were gone in less than
month. There is no reason to hope
that they may do the same this year.
Wherever they have eaten down the
young wheat, that crop is of course de-
stroyed. There is plenty of time yet to
plant corn and raise full crop. Pota-
toes, turnips, buckwheat, beans and
other vegetables may be planted after
the first of June and have plenty of
time to mature, unless the pests stay all
summer, which is altogether unlikely.

California Farm Life.

There are few cozy, comfortable, mid
dle-class homes. The house is either a
country residence, or
mean, implanted redwood shanty, though
either may be occupied by man i'm
wealthy. Everything seems
put there, adventurous; nothing grew
out of the soil. There are no ancient
trees, no strawberries, no grass. In
stead of homely farmer-messes, you eat
urban fare of beefsteak and hot biscuit
made with Boston yeast.powder. You
hope for pumpkin pie, and get can of
Baltimore oysters. There are Oregon
apples, Cincinnati hams, and stewed
prunes from Germany. A man may be
worth 100000 and have no milk to
whiten his coffee. The COW runs on the
range and comes home when she lists.
A boy may be dispatched for her on his
tough little shaggy cow-horse, and a man
must be sent to bring the boy home
The yard fences all look imported, as
they are; all things have a contractor
like look, little tawdry, little cheap.
Everything is so naked and SO new,
that no one can hang tradition on it.
There is no moss on the fences; the newly
sawed boards and posts and the houses
stand out painfully ugly and prominent
beneath the lovely sky.

A Man Dies from Sheer FrIght.

Alexander V. Brewer, of Schenectady,
New York, lacerated finger by means
of corn-cutter. He was attended by
physician, and in due course of time the
wound healed, leaving a mark for
while of a pinkish indigo tint. While
attending church subsequently fellow
pew occupant asked to see his hand.
Observing the partly healed wound, he
whispered to Brewer in his opinion the
wound had mortified. Brewers father
sat in the seat with him. His son took
a piece of paper and wrote thereupon,
and handed to his father request that
they leave church. The father on
reaching the outside, asked the cause of
the sudden request. The answer was
that he (the SOM was going to die. Mr..
Brewer ridiculed the idea, but pro-
ceeded home. After time following
their arrival, the father found the son en-
gagged in prayer, and was again told by
the latter that his end was near. The son
had to be soon removed to bed, and
the doctor was again summoned. The
latter on arrival found his patient with
high pulse, much excited, and showed
symptoms of typhoid fever. The former
wound on his hand was found in the
same condition as when last seen-that
is, everything presaging rapid and per
manent healing. A few days after young
Brewer died-an evident victim of
fright.

One of the Heavy Weights.

A stranger with no guile in his face
and no overcoat on his shoulders, wan
dered into clothing store in Newport,
the other day, and asked if he could be
fitted with spring overcoat. The pro-
prietor promptly answered in the affirma-
tive. "You speak very positively"
replied the stranger. 81 am bigger
than You take me for" The storekeeper
was still confident that he had coats that
would answer. 81 am pretty heavy
man., said the stranger. 81 will bet
you five dollars that you can't guess my
weight into one hundred pounds" The
man wasnot particularly large, and thisas-
founding challenge entirely diverted the
seller of clothing from the ordinary
course of his business. He took the
wager, named his guess-about a hun
dred and sixty pounds-the money was
put up in the hands of third party, and
all started off for pair of scales, and
the stranger balanced two hundred and
ninety pounds of weights. The store
man looked sad and puzzled. With a
smile that was childlike and bland the
stranger took his money and walked off
without saying anything more about the
overcoat. 1t has since been learned that
this man wears lead jacket, and has
been making an honest living by playing
his scurvy trick on unsuspecting dealers
in clothing.

The Young Mans Clock.

A young man out West was counting
a pretty girl, but her mother would not
permit him to stay after ten o'clock,
greatly to his and her daughters dis
gust. Last New Years day that young
man presented the old lady with patent
clock of great beauty and ingenuity.
The prospective mother-in-law was
greatly pleased, and gave her old ticker
to poor woman who lived in the neigh
borhood. Now that young couple are
happy, for this new clock is so con-
structed that it will lose three hours be-
tween eight and ten o'clock in the even
ing, and make it up all right before
morning. The old lady watches the
clock carefully, and cries "Ahem y as
usual when it gets to be ten. And yet,
she says, she can't understand what
makes her so sleepy before ten, and
hate to get up so bad the next morning.

The Highest Mountain,

For many years past Mount Everest,
in that portion of the great Himalaya
range which occupies the western part
OF the strange kingdsm of Nepaul, imme-
diately north of India, has been re-
garded as the highest mountain in the
world. 1t is known to the Nepaulese as
Gaurisankar, but the English named it
Everest, in honor of distinguished
officer of the British Indian Topographic
cal survey. Its snow-capped summit is
29,OO2 feet, or nearly five miles and a
half above the level of the sea. OF
course no one has ever assembled it to this
height, but its altitude, like that of the
other lofty peaks of the Himalaya, was
ascertained by triangulation; and until
the present time it has not been sup
posed that any higher land existed on
the earth.
Ii the news be true, however, which
has lately come to us from the more dis
tant East, there is loftier peak than
Mount Everest in the great island of
Papua or New Guinea. This vast region,
extensive enough to form six States as
large as New York, is as yet almost
wholly unexplored, except along its
coasts Lying close to the equator,
where the Indian ocean and the Pacific
meet, it is the home of the cassowary
and the bird of paradise, a country
grand i'll its scenery, rich in its vegeta.
ton, and Astounding in curious and
beautiful forms of animal life-the veri-
table wonderland of the globe. An at
tempt to explore the unknown interior
of the island was made from Torres
strait, which separates it from Australia,
by Captain J. A. Lawson, in the year
1872; and if we may believe his pub
lished narrative of the journey, which
has just appeared in London, he ad-
vanced several hundred miles inland,
and about midway between the north
and south coast discovered q mountain
80, 1888 feet high, which he named Mount
Hercules.
The height of this mountain-over six
miles-is not the only remarkable thing
about it. It's apparent elevation is but
little less than its actual elevation; for,
instead of rising from lofty table land
like the plateau of central Asia, it stands
in comparatively low plain only about
two thousand feet above the ocean, and
this gives clear of more than 10000
feet above the surrounding country.
The traveller standing at its base could
look up and see its snowy peak towering
10000 feet skyward from where he stood.
Under such circumstances the altitude of
a mountain is appreciated.
