Singular Snakes Nest.

1t often puzzles young naturalists to
understand how snakes make holes in the
ground, without leaving pile of dirt in
front. Can they understand any better
how snake can make his nest in head
of cabbage. The Wilmington On. CO. Star
says: ri N.|I F
A lady who keeps clearinghouse
made most singular purchase on Satur-
day evening last. 1t appears that in driv-
ing past certain shop on the line of the
street railway she requested the proprietor
to pick her out q good cabbage. He did
so, took the article into the car and de-
posted it by her side, and retired. The
cabbage good solid one, to all appear
ances-was taken home and placed on the
table, where it remained until some time
the next morning, when the lady started
to prepare it for cooking. 1t was then
that she made a startling discovery
nothing more nor less than a snakes head
pcering out from beneath one Of the loose
leaves. Assistance was summoned, and a
large snake was found snugly ensconced
in the heart of the cabbage, which was
perfectly hollow. Ofcourse it is not pre-
sumed that the snake ate its way into the

Livingstone's Researches.

1t would be impossible to overstate the
importance of DR.. Livingstone s researches
and discoveries. By his own exertions,
beset with perils and obstacles which
would have driven back man less cour-
ageous and determined, he has filled up a
great space in the map of Africa; he was
the first European whose eyes beheld vast
inland seas whose existence had been
vaguely conjectured from native reports;
he laid down the course of hundreds of
new rivers, and noted their volume and
the velocity of their flow. Most impor-
tant among the facts recorded in his jour
nails is the discovery that Lake Nyassa be-
longs to totally distinct system of waters
from that which holds Lake Tanganika
and the rivers running north and west
With regard to the latter lake he leaves an
interesting problem to be solved by future
explorers. 1t may be taken for granted
that he would hardly venture the surmise
that Tanganyika may have asubterranean
outlet without having duly weighed the
probabilities in the scale with his elabo-
rate observations. But whether this lake
really pours its waters through the caverns
of Western Kabogo into the vast rivers
flowing northward is a problem which
must soon be determined by actual explo-
ration.

A Peddler's Wonderful Ride.
peddlcr named Jonas Marburger, has

A pedder named Jonas Marburger, has
for many years tramped over various sec
tons of this and neighboring counties
selling his wares; and by consistent
course he has won the confidence and es-
TEEN of large number of acquaintance.
On Tuesday afternoon, about five O'Clock,
the peddler opened his pack in the kitchen
of a man named Eshelstaub, in Albany
township. The farmers wife purchased
what she desired, and the peddler, accord
ing to the custom of that ncighborhood,
was asked to remain for supper, which he
did, and subsequently determined to stay
all night.
At about nine o'clock the peddler was
shown to large garnet under the roof,
where he was to sleep. The family retired,
and nothing unusual occurred until some
time near midnight, when the farmer was
awakened by the barking of watch dogs
and the tramping of horses hoofs. He
arose and looked out of the window toward
the barn, when an extraordinary sight met
his gaze. The dogs were in an adjoining
field, and, strange to say, there appeared
to be ghost riding about on one of the
farmers young horses. The farmer called
the hired man, and on going to the garnet
with lantern they found the bed which
had been occupied, empty, and the ped
dler gone, but his clothes still hanging on
a chair, where he had evidently placed
them. The farmer and hired man went
down stairs, and found that all the doors
were locked as they were before they re-
tired. Going out, they found the horse
still on full gallop under the direction
Of the mysterious rider. The hired man
watched his chance, caught the animal,
and upon closer examination found that
the rider was the peddler, and sat there
like statue, and was in a complete state
of somnambulism. He had nothing on
him excepting his shirt, undershirt, draw
.ers and stockings, and Notwithstanding the
GOODNESS of the night he was perspiring
freely when lifted down. They could not
waken him properly until he was led into
the house, and when he came to his senses
he seemed to know nothing of what had
occurred. He seemed startled at being
out of bed and down stairs in such appa-
rel. Subsequent examination showed that
the man, in his strange state, had worked
his way out of trap door to the roof and
thence down to roof of a back building
and thence to the ground.-Reading Eagle.

FARM AND GARDEN
Sixty.flve Crops Of Corn in Succession

A recent paragraph in some apricultu-
raj paper says that Mr.. Peter Simmons
of Bristol, Ontario county. New YorL
has a field which for sixty-four successiv ~
wears has been cropped with corn. That
the land continues fertile is shown Inv tho
fact that the crop this year is about ono
hundred and twenty-five bushels ner aero
and has averaged that for manv wears
This is a good showing, and undoubtedlv
the general impression is that such results
show excellent management, particularly
as every fall twenty-five two-horse loads
of manure are drawn and spread over tbc
field. This amount evidently keeps the
land we'll up, probably improves it YEAR
lv. but before we decide that Mr. Sim
mons, his father and grandfather have
taken the wisest course, we need to know
what has been the management of other
parts of the farm. Certainly all the land
could not receive such top-dressino
every year. Only think of a farmer with
a hundred acres making and APPLYING
six hundred and twenty-five loads of ma.
nure every year. The bare thought is
enough to brighten ordinary farmers. Pos.
sibly the farm consists of TWENTY-FIVE. ff.
ty or seventy-ive acres, and altogether
furnishes enough to manure this four-acre
corn lot. A corn crop of 1875 bushels ears
per acre would not make six wagon loads
of manure without liberal allowance of
straw and other feed. 1t is plain to see
that somehow this pet corn field has been
fed and pampered at the expense of the
rest of the farm. Admit this, and the
sixty-four successive corn crops are no
longer a mystery or even surprise. 1t
needs no special knack to grow corn or
anything else with an unlimited amount
of manure, or what is practically the
same thing, using all the fertilizers that
can be procured on a very small piece of
land. Yet this last is what most gene.
rally passes for superior farming. Men
will manure few acres highly, generally
along the road, and let the remainder of
their farms go barren. Really good farm
ing consists in making the most of ma
nure, using it so wisely that all crops re-
ceive some benefit and the entire farm
constantly increases in fertility and value.
Judged by this test it is safe to say that
sixty -four, or even six, successive crops
of any one grain are not indicative Of
good management An annually over
flowed meadow is the only exception
where successive cropping without rota-
ton is to be tolerated, and there the an
nual overflow provides, without cost, an
annual manuring. Country Gentleman.
