-1BOCT TIE EYE.

To those who can read Alright, the eye is
wonderfully expressive. FullnesS of the
eye, causing bullying of the lower eye
lid, is the well-known sign of Language
Persons with this sign have not only
speaking eye, but also speaking tongue;
whereof their fellows do not long remain
in ignorance. A general projection or
fullness of the eye above and below,
which brings the eyeball forward on a
line with the face and eyebrow, denotes
the quality of physical perception, or
the capacity to see quietly whatever APP
pears upon the surface of things. A
person with such an eye, on entering a
room for the first time, would note rap
idly the shape, size, arrangement, and
general appearance of the different ar
ticles of furniture in it, the color of the
walls, curtains, etc. take in with equal
facility, the features, the color of eyes
and hair, size and appearance, of any per-
son who might be present. In looking
OF picture such person would at once
incline to examine the details of color,
number, grouping, attitude, and costume
of the figures composing it.

TILTON-BEECHER TRIAL.
Fiffy-fosfrfh Day.

Fifty fourth Day.
The direct examination of Bessie Turner by
Judge Porter for the defense was concluded,
and the witness Was passed into the hands of
Judge Fullerton for cross-examination. Her
veracity suffered somewhat by the keen ques-
tioning of the great inquisitor. who involved
her in several contradictions. She was made to
acknowledge that her version of the narrative
had been arranged BY the aid of astenographer,
Brother Sherman, and Judge Porter.
FIffy-JiTfh Day.
Bessie Turner was still undergoing cross
examination. She is regarded as a splendid
witness by the defendants side, and Tilton's
counsel accuse her of ''evading questions I"
with remarkable skill. Numerous controversies

A BANGOR fruit dealer has been pay
ing bet recently, with the making of
which he had nothing to do. A couple
of well-known gentlemen stepped in Ole
afternoon. and beginning to eat oranges,
II formed the proprietor that they had
made bet of the oranges on a certain
question, and that after the bet was de-
cided the loser would pay for those
which they were eating. To this the
dealer in fruits agreed, and the Gus
toners ate all they desired. The next
time they were in the store he inquired
which one was to pay for the oranges.
Don't You know yetl' was the reply;
"I bet that when the Brewer bridge is
carried away the..Brewer end will go first,
and Smith bet that the Bangor end will
20 first" The oranges were charged to
profit and loss.

SUrToN's King of the Caulifowers is
said to be the best as well as the largest
and most delicate kind of caulifower, and
to withstand drought remarkably well.
DEEP soil should be deeply stirred !;
shallow soil should be made somewhat
deeper from year TO year, and when
stiff should be made TO hold moisture by

crops, coarse litter, and, as far as posi-
bic, with ashes.
THE horse most in demand is the gen
tleman's travelling horse-good figure,
spry, trappy, and of kind disposition.
In rearing a good horse care should be
taken while young. Good hay and some
shorts or oats should be given. Apart
ments should not be too close colts like
open air. They should be halter-broken
while young.
THE Industrial Monthly teaches that
shingled and metallic roofs are preserved
for an almost indefinite time by being
well painted every few years; that the
shingles should be painted on both sides
to begin with; and that the paint for the
outside should be of light color, as a
dark color, absorbing more heat, is more
destructive to the wood, and produces
discomfort in the rooms below.
If short-horn breeding is not to sink
into an association of half a score OF SO
of millionaires buying in one another s
cattle at fabulous prices to set folks talk
ing, it will be necessary for breeders to
look at the pursuit from wider point OF
view than that now taken up by the
purists and Landed by the press. If all
that is to be aimed at is obsequiously to
copy the herd of some dead breeder who
earned reputation, it would seem more
rational to adopt dead mans method
rather than to scramble for what are left
/ of his tools in the condition he left them
To Judge by some recent observations, il
would seem as if some leading breeders
thought the object of breeding was to
confine an admirable breed of animals IL
as few hands as possible. = London

Plants live double life. They have
q twO-fOld nutrition-mineral and or
ganic. Their mineral food is derived
from the soil and the organic from the
air. While the organic constituents of
plants are generally uniform, by a
strict analysis of their ashes it is dis
covered that the different classes are
marked by the prevalence of certain
mineral elements. Some abound in
potash, others In lime, some in phos-
pilates, and others in silica. Different
parts of the same plant have also their
preponderating elements. Thus it APP
pears that the reason why all crops are
not suited to the same soil. is a varia-
ton of the mineral elements. All crops
are not suited to the same soil, mainly
because it is deficient in certain mineral
elements, or they exist In too large guam
titles.
The fertilization of soils is the addi-
ton to the soil of suitable pabulum for
the growth and development of plants.
If allowed sufficient time, plants can
extract organic materials from the sur
rounding atmosphere to attain vigor-
Gus growth yet if we apply to their
roots manures yielding ammonia, car
bonic acid, nitrogen, etc, we supple
ment the atmospheric supply and
hasten their development. Liquid ma
nures are, therefore, of high value, as
their action is immediate and powerful.
But if this policy is long continued, it
will exhaust the soluble mineral ele-
ments in the soil and render it compar-
atively worthless. Hence, in all perma-
nent systems of agriculture, mineral fer
tilizers can no more be dispensed with
than organic.
Long-continued cropping removes
from the soil all the available mineral
constituents of plant food, unless we re-
store to the soil, in the shape of manures,
cAdCtly Wlitt 10 lOoG III VIC OAop. LILO,
then, is the golden rule of agriculture.
BY failing to heed this important prin-
ciple, millions of acres of the choicest
land have become worthless, and millions
more are now undergoing the same ruin
GUS process.
We should economic every source of
fertility. Manure heaps should all be
sprinkled with some absorbent, such as
gypsum or diluted sulphuric acid, to pre-
vent the escape of ammonia, LIQUID ex-
cretions preserved in tanks that none of
it may be wasted, ashes saved and spread
on the fields. Compost heaps should
be formed where all refuse-animal or
vegetable-may be utilized and while
the accumulation of filth and noisome
odors is prevented, the soil is enriched
and farming made remunerative. With
fertilizers the careful farmer can accom-
plish much without them, he can ac-
complish nothing.-COr. american

PowDERING CAMPHoR.-The methods
for powdering camphor anu retaining
this refractory body in its powdered state
have not alone been numerous but curl
Gus. Glycerine is the simplest and most
efficient substance to keep camphor in a
finely divided state. Take camphor five
ounces, alcohol five fl. drachms, glycerine
one f. drachm Mix the glycerine with
the alcohol, and triturate it with the cam
phor until reduced to a fine powder.
Fec BREAD.-Take one pint of fine,

A MoTHERLY woman writing in the
: SHf tctCtNt -hONttOf, oOSAelAto bAlttt o1AC
fully agrees with any thoughtful woman
who spares her boys the humiliation OF
wearing great round or triangular patch
es, when her own skill and generous
supply of pieces make the reseated pants
look almost as well as new ones. May
they hold her in grateful remembrance
long after they shall have outlived the
era of torn trousers. She suggests that
when pants need repairing over the knee,
it is a good way to rip the seams each
side of the worn part, cut'it out, and in
sert new piece, pressing it nicely before
closing the side seams again. Neither
boy nor man need be ashamed to wear
garments neatly patched, if it be neces-
sary, and every girl should be taught
that mending well is an essential part of
domestic economy.

QUEER TEXTS.

Ecery one remembers Lorenzo BOWS
"Top-not come down ;" and many will
remember the preacher who took for his
text, 81 feared thee because thou art an
oysterman," Luke-xix., 81. Having
himself been an oysterman, he was able
20 illustrate and enforce the text with
wonderful power.
Another favorite text OF his was ''The
double-minded man is unstable III all his
ways" This, of course, refers to horse
without stable. He is exposed to the
elements, and goes ungroomed, unfed,
and without water. Whereas the stable
horse is amply provided for. The one is
lean and weak, the other is in full flesh
and good condition. Perhaps it was the
same divine who found so much instruc-
ton and admonition in the text, "Thou
makest my feet like hens feet. 1t was
a beautiful picture he drew OF the moth
erly creature deity and industriously
scratching the ground for the benefit of
her offspring. -Scribner for I5DTI.

times into admissions that would overturn some
portion of her previous testimony. George l..

Connecticut ON the day that Mrs. Moulton al
legged he had visited her house and confessed
his guilt.

Three colored persons prove that Tilton was
familiar visitor of Woodruff long after April

with Woodruff. 1t was sworn that he instigated
the publication of the scandal; that lie was in
the habit of visiting the house occupied by the
Woodruff family, where he did considerable
writing.

A BLOODY ard unparalleled tragedy is
reported from Taquerville, Utah. A
man named Richard Fryer, who has for
a long time labored under the hallucina-
ton that he was second Jesus Christ,
entered his house in the evening, and
found Thomas Batty, friend of the
family, lighting fire in the CRATE. Be
heving that Batty was an emmissary of
the devil, who was trying to burn his
premises, the lunatic rushed for pistol
and shot him through the head. Mrs.
Fryer, paralyzed with fear, crouched In
a corner, and was shot through the heart
by her demoniac husband. The next
thing he did was to go to a cradle, where
his infant child was lying asleep, and de-
Eberately blow its brains out. This was
the browning act of the most unparalleled
tragedy. Fryer then sailed forth into
the village, armed with revolver and a
gun, proclaiming himself the Lordandsay-
ing that he had slain the devil and several
of his imps. The Sheriff, being unable to
arrest Fryer, and fearing that still other
lives might be sacrificed, killed him with
a shot from navy revolver. Batty, Mrs.
Fryer, the babe, and the slayer of them
all, were buried ON st. Patrick's day
from the same house.

THE United States Supreme Court, in
a case appealed from the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia, has decided
that a claim for services as lobbyist
cannot be collected. The agreement was
that complainant should receive 25 per
cent. of the amount claimed, which
should be recovered In the event of the
passage of a certain bill. The bill was
passed. The Court decided that such a
contract created no lien upon fund !;
that it is void under the act of Congress,
as the transfer of an interest within the
meaning of the statute that it is con-
trary to public policy, since the employ
ment depended upon personal influence
