from the fort on a private foraging eX-
petition. This morning his mangled
remains were brought in. His body
was found in a piece Of dead wood
about five miles from camp. He had
been shot and scalped by the Indians,
bis ears cut Of, and his body otherwise
horribly mutiliated. But when you tell
the story Of his death, tell also that he
died a. an American should-with his
face 10 TIE foe. And nigh him was
found the evidence that he had sold his
life dearly, and before he had been

FERTILIzING THE ORcHARD.-1n reply
to queries upon this subject, the ScieR-
tifc Fumer advises, as the flesh of most
fruits contains much potash as we'll as
lime in combination with the fruity
acids, and the seeds phosphoric acid,
the application each year per acre Of
from 800 to $50 pounds of bone dust,
800 to 400 pounds of sulphate Of potash,
the latter guaranteed to contain 35 to 40
per cent. of sulphate of potash. This
would give us 20 to so pounds of potash,
80 to 60 pounds of phosphoric acid, and
60 to 20 pounds of lime from the
bones), 10 to 20 pounds of nitrogen, and
some magnesia in the potash and fertil-
izer. Such treatment has been found
successful by fruit-growers, in both this
country and Europe. We should apply
broadcast in the Fall to the surface, and
leave it to the rains to incorporate with
the soil, or, at most, only harrow the
fertilizer in. A ton of dry, unleached
hardwood ashes per acre would furnish
nearly the same Ingredients. The same
amount of mineral phosphates furnish
more phosphoric acid, but in o more in
soluble condition.

WHAT AN ENTERPRIsING Boy DID,
At this season of the year the boys out
of school are taxing their wits to the
utmost tension to find something to do
to procure pocket money, if not to as
sist their parents. One of the happiest
and most original devices for this end
that it has been my chance to hear of, is
that of lad who invaded Brooklyn,
and, noticing the unusual number of
kerosene lamps in use in that city las a
result of practical war on the gas COM
panies) he solicited the job of taking
care Of the same for several storekeep-
ers. His price was modest-ten cents
per week for each lamp-f0r which sum
he agreed to trim and keep clean the
lamp, brush ont the chimney, etc. His
success surprised him. He soon got
fifty lamps to look after, and then his
work increased so that he engaged an
assistant, paying him a stated salary,
while he as "boss" took the orders.
This young man has the care of several
hundred lamps on Fulton street alone,
and employs two other lads to help
him. His weekly income and profit
amounts to $25, which is far better than
running errands or attending stores, as
many lads do in this city for a pittance

The SoHooLBoY. = The Burlington
Havkeye writes of the deceptive little
boy: Passing by one Of the city
schools yesterday, we listened to the
scholars singing, Oh, how 1 love my
teacher dear There was one boy, with
a voice like tornado, who was SO en-
thusiastic that he emphasized every
word, and roared, Oh, how love my
teacher dear with a vim that left no
possible doubt of his affection. Ten
minutes after that boy had been stood
on the floor for putting shoemaker's
wax on his teachers chair, got three de-
merit marks for drawing a picture of
her with red chalk on the back of an
atlas, been we'll shaken for putting a
bent pin in another boys chair, scolded
for whistling out loud, sentenced to stay
after school for drawing ink moustaches
on his face and blacking another boys
nose, and soundly whipped for slapping
three hundred and thirty-nine spit-balls
up against the ceiling, and throwing
one big one into girls ear. You can't
believe half boy says when he sings"

Yield and Cost.

The problem for the agriculturist is
to get the highest yield per acre from
the smallest cash investment, and the
practical mode of solving this problem
makes the whole difference between the
thriftless and thriftful farmer. Just
here arises a very important inquiry:
Does the largest product from an acre
necessarily give the lowest net cost per
bushel for the article raised, and if not =,
is there any definite relation between
these two factors? The obvious answer
Is that, though the largest yield does
not always give the lowest cost, yet the
chances are greatly in its favor, if rea-
sOnable care and economy are used.
There is, of course, limit of outlay on
every crop, beyond which it will not be
profitable; but inside of this limit it is
safe to say that, as q general rule, the
more bushels or tons you get from an
acre, the less each bushel or ton will
cost.
The reason of this is so perfectly
plain, it seems incredible that our farm
ers do not give more attention to the
principle, and take advantage of it to
increase their profits. The usual ex-
PLANTATION with most Of them is that,
capital being limited, they cannot put
more than a certain amount of expense
in each acre of ground, even though ev-
cry additional dollar should bring back
hundred fold.
This is plausible enough at first sight,
but it does not meet the case, as may
easily be made to appear. Nor is there,
in fact, any sufficient reason why farm
ers should not raise much larger crops,
and at much lower cost, than the aver
age of the present, or of recent years.
This topic is very prolific. and full of
interest to the husbandry of this coun-
try. The prolific possibilities of the
soil, under a proper system of treat
ment, may we'll challenge the attention
of farmers, for it offers the readiest and
surest, if not the only means of render
ing their acres productive, and their
calling thrifty.

The PROBABILITIES OF SICKNESS
The business of life insurance is largely
based on purely mathematical calcula-
ton, involving the laws Of probabilities,
the object of which is to determine, by
careful comparison of extended statis-
teal returns, and like information, the
probable duration of a persons life at
every year of his existence. On the
tabulated results is found the scale of
premium charges, proportionate to the
risk assumed. While every one is, Of
course, interested in knowing how long
he is likely to live, he has more imme-
diate and vital interest in learning how
often he is likely to be sick, and for how
many days per year he will probably by
Ill health be incapacitated for work.
DR.. Reginald Southey has recently
been delivering a course of valuable lee
lures on Individual Hygiene" in
London, and in one he introduced a
table OF Expectation of Sickness, "
which he had prepared, and which is as
follows:
At 20 years of age, calculate on 4 sick
days yearly.
At 20 to 80, 5 or days.
At 45, Z days.
At so, 9 or 10 days.
At 50, IL or 13 days.
At 60, 16 days.
At IS, 81 days.
At rs, IA days.
OF course this refers to people of
average good health, and not to those
who may be afflicted with any ineradica-
BILE or chronic ailment.

HE CURIOSITY OF FIsH.-The curl
osity exhibited by fish is worthy of re-
mark. Like nearly all the animal crea-
ton, fishes are inquisitive. Workmen
IN diving-bells and submarine armor,
tell some interesting anecdotes illustra-
nye OF this propensity. A diver who
was engaged in tunneling for the water
works of an Eastern city, whose labors
at the bottom of the river occupied him
ior several days, became suddenly
aware, one day, Of the presence of a
larger fish than he had seen before-a
sturgeon-which he thought at least
would weigh eighty or ninety pounds.
II visited him for several days in sue
eSession, and eventually became so fear
less as to approach within little more
tnan an arms length of him, although
as hrst it was quite shy. Along the
southern shore of Lake Erie, and in
some other places at the North where
lee forms of sufficient thickness, fish are
atIracted to openings through the ice
