Dividing the Farm.

A writer says that for farm of eighty
to one hundred acres, upon which the
usual rotation Of clover, corn, oats and
wheat is followed, and stock, chiefly
COWS, with small stock of sheep, is
kept to consume the bulky portion of
the crop, a pasture of twenty acres will
be found sufficient This should be
divided into Mt least three fields. One
would be grazed by cattle, followed by
the sheep-for these should never be
pastured together-but the latter, being
close feeders, may follow the former with
advantage, while the former could not
find subsistence i'll field that had been
cropped by the latter The third field
would then rest while the others were
being fed off. The alienation would be
beneficial for both the grass and the
stock. The rest of the farm should be
divided into fields or plots of proper
size by bands of grass, which can be
moved, or by simple paths. The most
convenient division is into six fields,
which would give each year one each of
corn, wheat and oats, and three of hay.
One of the latter three fields might be
appropriated to provisional crops, such
Us potatoes, roots, corn-fodder, buck
wheat or millet. The orchard, garden,
barnyard, with the building sites, and a
few paddocks around the baTnyard for
calves and colts, will occupy at least
five acres upon farm of The size here
described. All these must necessarily
be permanently and safely inclosed, and
the whole farm will be surrounded with
a substantial fence. However much the
abolition of fences may be desirable, it is
improbable that it will soon be found
practicable. Such fences as are here
mentioned may be taken as the least re.
quirement in that way of any well-man-
aged farm under our present circumstan-
ces. Outside fences may certainly be
done away with if general understand
ing is arrived at to that effect.

Falllncr Island, i'll Long Island sound,
who saved the crew of the steamer Work
man, is about ffty-four years old, and
has been in his present position for over
twenty years. He has received a gold
medal from the New York Society for
the Preservation of Life as reward for
former bravery, and few years ago the
citizens of New Haven presented him q
silver set to testify their appreciation OF
his services. The two daughters, who
have shown themselves as brave as their
father, were both born on the little
island, and are well educated and cult
waited. They are provided with many OF
the luxmies Of the city, and they enter
tanned the sailors in their little stone
tower with musicon the pianoand guitar.
They say they are perfectly happy in
their strange, sea-washed home, and pre-
fer it's quiet, monotonous enjoyments to
the pleasures of the.soial world The
captains wife, with nephew in his
teens, complete the household. Capt.
Brooks is somewhat lover of science,
and he has in his museum probably one
of the finest collections of stuffed birds
in the country. He was a sea captain
until he retired to FallSner Island.

A correspondent of the Scientific
Amerjcttn, who resides i'll Norway, states
that, in the eastern part of that country,
large quantities of ice are gathered and
stored in the ordinary manner during
winter, for shipment abroad. Last sum
mer a company tried to make the vast
glaciers near Bergen supply the ice; to
that effect a shoot of spars was built,
starting at an altitude of 1900 feet, run
ming down to the ford, the whole length
being 5000 feet; the incline varies from
one in three to one in four feet. At the
lower end the shoot runs level for n
short distance and terminates in shed,
at which the vessels are loaded, The
blocks of ice make the run in four
minutes, although the speed is checked
at several places. The average velocity
of the ice blocks is twenty-four miles an
hour. The ice is of fine quality, and
the supply is, Of course, next to mex
haustible.

A Funny Man.

G. p. Lewis is the wag of the Detroit
Free Press, says an exchange, referring
to the funny men Of the press. During
the past three years he has written somo
of the finest touches of sentiment and
human nature in his police court pro.
ceedings that have ever appeared III the
United States. Unlike Bailey, he did
not inherit his wit unlike Mark Twain,
it did not come to him through associo-
tions. The truth is, it was blowed into
him. He was an ordinary stupid couu-
try printer about Ann Arbor and LanS-
ing, Mich, till he took 1t into his head
to go on q tramp" After footing 1t
to Louisville he engaged to work his
passage on n steamer TO New Orleans.
The first day out the steamer blew up.
Lewis, one of the victims, was badly
Scared and crippled; but Us soon as he
got able to write he sent an account OF
his experience and sensations in being
blown up to the Detroit Free Press,
which at once established his reputation
as versatile genius. On his return
home the Free Press took him on its
columns as items man. The leading
editor said the other day that he had to
watch him like hawk, for about half
the time. Like old Milton, he clings
lovingly TO the latest emanations Of
his brain. Lewis writes a good deal for
4 the Eastern weeklies over the signature
of "M. Quad"-"a bourgeois EN-
quad, " he says, " as it is worthless IN Il
printing office except in its own line, for
it won't Justify with any other type"
Lewis will probably last some time.

How 1t Feels.

A Parisian who attempted to hang
himself, but was cut down in time to
save his life, gives this account OF his

and the only defined sensation succeed
ING that of the blow was sensation of
weight upon my head. My head seemed

,,in the lower part of my body, and thon
sharp pain where the rope was tearing
my mock, and then-nothing.

PREVENTION OF INSANITY. - Some
years since the superintendent of one of
the Massachusetts hospitals, while com
menting on the causes of insanity, said:
The more we see OF mental disease, in
it's various forms, the more we are con
vinced that the study of the prevention
is infinitely more important than even
the study of its cure, and that the dis
semination of more correct views of the
true way of living, and more rigid OBJ
servance of the laws of health and ma
ture would greatly diminish its fire.

Laughter has often dissipated disease
and preserved life by sudden effort of
nature. We are told that the great
Erasmus laughed so heartily at satiri-
cal remark that he broke tumOr, and
recovered his health. In singular
treatise on ''laughter," Joubert gives
two similar instances. A patient being
very low the physician, who had ordered
a dose of rhubarb, countermanded the
medicine, which was left on the table.
A monkey in the room, jumping up,
discovered the goblet, and having tasted
it, made a terrible grimace. Again
putting only his tongue to it, he per-
ceived some sweetness of the dissolved
mamma, while the rhubarb had sunk TO
the bottom. Thus emboldened, he swal =
lowed the whole, but found it such a
nauseous potion that, after many strange
and fantastic grimaces, he ground his
teeth in agony, and in violent fury
threw the goblet on the floor. The
whole affair was so ludicrous that the
sick man burst into repeated peals of
laughter, and the recovery of cheerful
ness led to health.

A Good RetOrt.

The creation of woman: A prince
once said to Rabbi Gamaliel: "YOur
God is a thief; he surprised Adam in
his sleep and stole rib from him."
The Rabbits daughter overheard this
speech, and whispered word or two in
her fathers ear, asking his permission
TO answer this singular opinion herself.
He gave his consent.
The girl stepped forward, and feign-
ing terror and dismay, threw her hands
aloft in supplicaiton. and cried out my
liege, my liege, Justice revenge"'
'.What has happened?" asked the
prince.
"a wicked theft has taken place, y
she replied. "a robber has crept Sc
cretlv into our house, carried away a
silver goblet, and left a golden one in
its stead"
'.What an upright thief" exclaimed
the prince. "Would that such rObberies
were of more frequent occurrenee!"

our Creator was; he stole a rib from
Adam, and gave him beautiful wife
instead"

This is the ''nevermore

Here was life's fairest CLEAN.
This Was q heaven come down below,
And in it Was left Gods smile;
Yet how must the green grass over it grow,

Such little while, like an island bright,

Which on some morrow we find the night
Has changed to q memory.

And oftimes / wearily pray
That it may again, il it be Gods will,
Come back to my life some day.
But it cannot come Oh, my dead, dead past
You are silent forever and still
But the sunset glories that fade so fast

And I'll touch the stone with q gentle hand,
And train DER it flowers fair;

Cellar Drainage.


If the ground be at all inclined, even
in the wettest seasons, to be wet or
springy, whatever other precautions
are taken, drain should be laid all
rour,. the cellar inside of the wall. and
at least a foot lower than its lowest
bed stone, and carried away to free
and sufficient outlet. This drain may
be made of gravel or broken stones.
but ordinary land-drainage tile with
open joints is usually cheaper, always
better. especially as preventing the in
gress of vermIn. For the largest pri-
vate house, the smallest sized land
dram tile will be sufficient. IL the soil
is unduly wet, at any season, similar
drains should cross the cellar at inter
walls of not more than fifteen feet. All
of these drains should be securely
covered by having earth well rammed
over them. the whole cellar bottom
being then coated with concrete. For
small! houses, where cobble-s stones or
gravel are plenty. if the foundation

Haste and Health.

Ii is not at all wholesome to be In
hurry. Locomotives have been reported
to have moved a mile a minute for short
distances. But locomotives have often
come to grief by such great rapidity.
Multitudes i'm their haste to get rich are
ruined every year. The men who do
things maturely, slowly, deliberately,
are the men who oftenest succeed in life;
people who are habitually in hurry
generally have to do things twice over.
The tortoise beat the hare at last. Slow
men seldom knock their brains out
against a post. Foot-races are injurious
TO health, as are all forms sofcompetitiye
exercise; steady labor in the field Is the
best gymnasium i'm the world. Either
labor or exercise. carried to exhaustion
or prostration, or even great tiredness,
expressed by Gagged out, always does
more harm than the previous exercise
has done COED. All running upstairs or
TO catch up with vehicle or ferry boat,
is extremely injurious to every age, sex
and condition of life. 1t ought to be the
most pressing necessity which should
induce person over fifty to run over
twelve or fifteen yards. Those i've
longest who are deliberate, whose actions
are measured, who never embark IN any
enterprise without sleeping over 1t,
and who perform all the everyday acts
with calmness. Quakers are proverDi-
ally calm, quiet people; and they are
thrifty folk, the world over.

Girls Fishing.


A tells us how ladies fish. He says
he saw four of them who had succeeded
in landing little founder. No sooner
had the poor fish struck the ground than
all exclaimed i'm one voice:
"Ouch! Murder. take it away. Ugh,
the nasty thing!'
Then they hold up their skirts and
gather about that fish, and all the time
the ore who caught the fish is holding
the line in both hands, with her foot on
the pole, as though she had an evil
disposed goat at the other end, which
she expectedtO butt her at any moment.
Then they talk over it: ...-.-.s
''IIowever will we get ii OFF,"
"Ain't il pretty?"
'.Look how it pants"
"Wonder if it amt dry?"
''Poor little thing, lets put it back"
Show will We get the hook from ii ~
"Pick it up" says a girl, who backs
rapidly out of the circle.
''Good gracious! I'm afraid of it.
There, it's opening its mouth at me-"
Just then the fish wiggles of the
hook and disappears into the water, and
the girls try for another bite.
