faith that it would be useful; and although
we are less sanguine, yet the case is GER
tainly SO bad that no step should be neg
lected that any person entitled to judge be-
lieves will remedy the evil Half the
murders are probably due TO the fact that
the criminal has within reach so easy a
means to kill as the revolver in his pocket;
ind if there is any means that may prevent
this result by preventing the carrying of re-
volvers it should be tried. 1t is proposed to
license persons to carry reyolvers, and to
punish severely all who are found with such
weapons on their persons if they have no
license. 1t is thought that, as the authori-
ties charged with the duty of licensing
would have the right to discriminate, this
would result in keeping SO dangerous a
weapon out Of the hands Of persons not
known to have proper discretion but we
fear. on the contrary, that this law would

Dreams and Assassination.

Belief in dreams is far from being gen.
eral, and yet, even with people entirely
free from superstition and superstitious
fears, the subject has curious interest to
which circumstances sometimes give sin
gular effect. The dream of Rubenstein,
which led to his arrest upon the charge Of
being the murderer of Sara Alexander,
is q case in point, as is also the dream
of John Johnson, shot in Brooklyn
fortnight ago. that he was to be assassinated.
In the case of Rubenstein the reasonable
theory is that he dreamed too much, while
Mr.. Johnson's dreams are either to be ac-
cepted as facts or to be explained upon the
police theory of suicide. The whole subject
needs scientific exposition for if Mr..
Johnson really dreamed that he was to
be assassinated, and the assassination took
place in the way he described on his
death bed, the scientific theory of dream
ing is completely overturned. 1t will thus
be seen that the Brooklyn police have two
incentives to unravel the mystery of Mr..
Johnsons death-to settle the question
whether he was murdered by others or by his
own hand, and to show whether his dreams
came true. In any event, the curious con-
nection of his dreams with his subsequent
death will occasion wide discussion, and, to
say the least of it, the subject has interest for
the curious.

OvERcRowD1NG ON THE CARS How the villa

Although not approaching the infamous con-
dition of affairs on the Third avenue line it
will be seen that they can pack fifty on
a single car when necessary. 1t must be re-
called that the Elevated Railroad has drawn
off great deal of the through traffic on this
and other west side lines, and hence the OBJ
lection to enforcing the rule of seat for a
fare is decreased by the ease with which
it could be done. The chief objection OF
the grasping car companies is that the re-
form is impracticable; but, with law passed
compelling them to seat passengers, we have
heretofore shown that a month would find

will be stimulated the moment that cir
cumstances are 80 altered as to permit
them to Yegetate freely. Take again
! another case-namely, that of a piece
of pasture in which furze has been al
lowed to grow for years unmolested
When the furze brushes are cleared
away, and the land plowed up and put
under one Or more short rotations of
crops. the growth of young furze plants
will be kept down; but stock the land
down in grass for some years, and
there will be again vigorous growth
Of furze plants, which have sprung up
from seed that must have remained
dormant in the soil during the time the
land WAS under cultivation. When
calcareous materials, such as lime
shell mari, or shell sand, are spread
upon ground covered with heath, the
heath disappears, and in its place will
be a thick growth Of white clover,
fescues and other grasses. This occurs
without any further treatment beyond
the application of the lime, ETC., which
acts upon the peaty soil, changing its
nature and rendering it unfit to pro-
duce heath, but suitable for the growth
OF other plants, the seeds of which
have been present in the soil from
some indefinite period under circum
stances which did not allow them to
vegetate.

PICKING CABBAGE.-A lady reader
Of the Household gives her way of
picking cabbage. She says: My hus-

the nail on its head this year in picking
cabbage. [ first picked all the large
leaves off, then grated them nicely,
then put them on the fire and boiled
until tender, then took them out and
drained until all the water was out;
then | took vinegar, pepper, allspice,
etc., one teacup of sugar to every Quart
or vinegar, Or none if your vinegar is
not very strong, boil it five or ten min
utes, then pour it On the cabbage, put on
weight to press down and set away
for use.

seeds of Weeds in the Soil.

It frequently happens that when a,
field of old grass land has been plowed
up the oats sown have come up along
with thick growth Of charlock Or wild
mustard. It may, Of course, be alleged
hat the charlock seeds were sown
along with the oats; that in cases Of
this kind which have come under our
own observation, this objection would
not hold good, the seed oats having
been dressed perfectly clean before be-
ing sown. Some years ago we plowed
grass field which had been in perma-
nent pasture for O. period of between
forty and fifty years. Iii order to
square the field an old fence running
along one side was taken down and
about five acres added, which were
sewn with oats at the same time as the
oh grass portion of the field, and with
seed out of the same bags. The crop
on the most part of the land which had
chOked with charlock, while that grown
on the part which had been added to
the field was entirely free. We after
ward learned from an old man who
had lived all his life beside The farm,
and worked upon it, that the portion
which had been IN grass had been laid
down and left for pasture, in conse-
ouenee of the manner in which It was
infested with the seeds of the charlock,
which sprung up and choked the crop
whenever the ground was TILED. We
do not cite this case as present
ing anything new, because scores
Of instances of similar kind are ia.
naiIiar to practical men; but it afford
ed a sufficient proof-at least IN oul
opinion-that the seeds Of the char
lock may be dormant in the soil for AZ
Indefinite period, AS long as circum
stances are not favorable for their veg
efating. The vitality of all such seeds

Always use china eggs for nest eggs,
and never put eggs under a hen till she
has set one night On a china egg and
is found upon her nest the next night,
then at evening put the eggs under her,
eleven to a large hen and nine to a
small one. Let the nest boxes be OF
ample size, fifteen to eighteen inches
square, and first put d layer of dry
earth at the bottom, then make the
nests Of fine hay or straw, and sprinkle
a little -four Of sulphur among it to
drive away lice. Keep your henhouse
well Whitewashed, perches and all, and
remove the manure often. Put it into
a barrel and when filed or partly filled
take it into your garden and mix it with
about four times its bulk Of soil. Make
81 heap broad enough to contain the en-.
tire droppings Of the season, and here
compost your manure from time to
time, always leaving the top of the
heap flat SO as to retain rains, and GOV.
er with litter Of any kind, so that none
Of the heap will be exposed to the rays
of the sun. These compost heaps
should be shoveled over two or three
times during the season, to mix their
contents thoroughly; and the next sea-
son apply from q half pint to O. pint OF
this mixture TO hills of garden vegeta
bles, or to field crops of corn, and you
will fnd every pound Of the compost
equal III value to shoyelful Of barn

AGRICULTURAL.
Dig a Well Near Yorr Barn.

One of my neighbors has just been
digging well in his barn yard. The
digging and stoning cos5 him $1,00 per
foot The diggers boalded themselves
My neighbor collected the stone on his
own farm and delivered them near the
well. About fifteen two-horse wagon
loads were required. Two men dug
the we'll about fifteen feet deep, and
stoned it in three days. The foregoing
facts show the amount of labor re-
quired to dig well and stone it. The
earth was not as compact as it is in
some places. About half the dirt had
to be broken up with q pick. There is
about four feet in depth OF water in
the we'll. Hence, as we had no rain of
any account for about two months
past, the assumption is that the water
in that well will not fail for years to
come For about forty years past this
farmer has resided ON the farm which
he now owns. All his domestic ami
mails, except his hens, have been
obliged tie get their supply of water at
stream nearly one-eighth of mile
from the barn. In order to reach the
stream the gate at the barnyard had to
be opened, the highway crossed and a
pair of bars let down at one end. Now
that he is old and just ready to be laid
in his coffin, he strained point to have
a well made in his barnyard. There
are thousands of other farmers who
need wells at their barns as much as
the farmer just alluded to. Let one be
dug before cold weather comes on.
During some long evening let the boys
work out the following arithmetical
problem: We will say that from the
barn to the stream of water the distance
is thirty-fve rods and the same distance
to return, which equals seventy rods.
Now supposing one was required to go
to the stream three times a day to
water the horses and cattle, how many
miles would be travelled in forty years?
There is 800 rods per mile. IF a man
went only three time daily to water
horse he would travel 210 rods, which is
more than two-thirds of mile.
When we'll is dug near the barn let
it be borne In mind that it had better be
located at one corner or on one side of
the yard, SO that deep drain can be
made between the we'll and the yard to
prevent any liquid manure from soak
ing into the well water.-CW. N. Y.

A MYSTERIOUS Discovery.

From the Hudson(N. " Register, Oct. IL.
Mr.. Gilbert Vanderburg, of Phil
mont, while passing through the Rox-
bury woods, in Claverack, yesterday,
observed tive dead bears tied to two
trees, evidently having starved to death.
These are probably two of the three
performing bears that passed through
this way last summer, one of which
was shot few weeks ago near these
woods. Nothing has as yet been dis
covered of the men who attended
them, but the supposition is that they
have also persisted in the woods. There
is some mystery about the affair,
which a few days may clear up. 1t has
given rise to considerable excitement IN
the vicinity, and the matter will be
thoroughly investigated.
