A Very Little in Bank.

Among the subscribers to Audubon's
magnificent work on ORTHODOXY was
John Jacob Astor. He was ALWAYS ready
to encourage such works, and he put his
name down upon Audubon's book for one
thousand dollars. During the progress
of the work, which proved to be more ex-
pensive than had been at first anticipated
Mr.. Audubon often found himself obliged
to call upon his generous patrons for
assistance: but he did not call upon MI.
Astor until the letter-press and the plates
had been made, however, he called upon
the great merchant for his thousand dol
lars.
''Ah, Mr.. Audubon" said the owner OF
millions, "you came in very bad time
Money is scarce and hard, and 1 have
everything snugly and tightly invested"
And so the ornithologist called. time
after time, and was often put off. 1t was not
because Mr.. Astor did not wish to nav.
out it was from that strong desire, grow
ing stronger with his years, to keep his
property intact and see it increased.
When he had paid away ahundred thous-
and dollars for really benevolent pur-
pose he felt good, as man feels good
who has got rid of an aching tooth. 1t
was only the wrenching away of the
money that hurt him.
At length Audubon called the sixth
time. Mr.. Astor had commenced to be-
moan the low, cbb condition of his cash
in hand, when he caught a disappearing
look from his son William, who happened
to be present.
But" said the old man, after pause,
81 suppose you want your money, and,
really, should like to let you have it.
I may have a very little in the bank
William, have we any money in the
banke"
i. Evidently John Jacob had expected
his son to answer simply yes; and it may
be that William B. thought his father
wished to know something of the bank ac-
count. At at rate he was Just fresh from
the cash-on-hand page of the ledger, and
he answered.:
Yes-we have little over hundred
thousand in the Bank Of New York;
eighty thousand in the city Bank; ninety
thousand in the Merchants; ninety eight
thousand four hundred in"
"That'll do, William! That1l do! l
guess, Mr.. Audubon, William can give
you check for the money

awake, standing upon the seats with thc
conductor dancing about like one de
mented on the floor, in his enGeavors to
keep out OF the way of the rats that were
scampering about in every direction. The
ssslstant, instead of keeping awake and
shaking up the bag from time to time
had fallen asleep, and the rats had gnawed
their way through and escaped into the
car. The door once opened and there
was q rush for it, in which rats and hu-
man beings struggled for exit. In the
meantime Dick calmly concealed the
bag and kept his seat.
Upon another early morning, with
dark lantern in one hand and the pin-
GERS in the other, with his assistant hold
ing the bag of rats, he stood upon the
corner OF the street waiting the coming
OF car. A vigilant guardian of the
peace passed: His eye caught the dark
lantern and the pincers, which he imme-
diately concluded were burglars tools,
and especially when he saw the bag in
the hands of the assistant, he was certain
it contained the plumber. As he ap-
preached they moved off. He called up-
on them to stop, but they needed him
not. He ran after them, and catching them
demanded to know what they had in the
bag. Dick refused to tell him. Finally
he determined to investigate himself.
selz5ng the bag and opening it he plung-
ed his hand into the seething mass Of
rodents, whereupon an old rat resented
his otticiousness by securely fastening his
fangs upon one of his fingers. With an
explosive oath the officer withdrew his
hand, shook off the rat, and went up the
street nursing his fingers and vowing
vengeance upon the practical jokers.

The Yield OF q Single Ear.

A farmer in Ohio has recently made an
experiment which suggests an idea. He
mad procured an ear of very fine yellow
corn, and wishing to procure seed from
it, planted it in good soil, having first as
certained that there were about 500 grains
on the cob. The corn produced from
these 800 kernels measured nine bushels.
or about 900 ears from one. The seed so
obtained was as good as the specimens
planted. If farmers in this state would
strive to obtain improved scotland i'm
proved seed does not necessarily mean
new varietes-they would make money
by the operation. The truth is that lit
tie OF no attention is paid to saving seed.
When wheat is to be sown the farmer
goes to the store and buys his seed wheat,
not knowing where it comes from, ig-
norant, perhaps that one sack of GOOD
wheat may be mixed with two sacks of
bad, and ignorant or careless of where it
comes from.
BY such carelessness the field is often
seeded with thistles or weeds, which re-
quire years to eradicate. We have case
in mind of little wheat-growing valley
which ten years ago was innocent of weeds
or thistles. But since that time one of
the farmers bought his seed wheat with
out taking proper precautions in regard
to where it was raised, and the following
season he found his field with very little
wheat and great many California this
ties. The next year the wind had scat
tered the seeds broadcast over the valley.
and to-day it is almost useless to SOW
grain o. any kind in that valley, for the
thistles choke il out completely.
It would be en- excellent idea to 90
through the wheat fields in the fall and
pick out few choice heads, we'll filled
out, and thresh them out by rubbing in
the hand. Put the seed in water and
skim off the floating grains which are not
we'll filled out. Save the balance care
fully and in the spring SOW or plant in
some good mellow ground, and not so
thick but that the soil around each stalk
can be stirred with the hoe, and where it
can be watered if necessary. A quart of
seed planted in this way would produce
large amount of grain superior to a
large majority of the seed wheat in the
country. In this way the crop can be
renewed, and not only higher-priced
grain, but more of it, will be the result.

A Singular Tradition.

st. Stephens day, in the Isle of Man,
IS given over, among great part of the
population, to cruel custom, that of
hunting wrens with sticks and stones ;
and when they succeed in capturing, it is
tied to the end of long pole, and car
ried around the country. The custom
arises from superstition, dating far into
the past, of a fairy so beautiful that all
the youths of the island went to look at
her, an l then she would sing such Won
derous songs and they followed where
she chose to lead them, which was into
the sea: for she was cruel and wicked,
and led them, one after another, to their
death, until at length scarce young man
was left, and trouble was in every mans
home for the brother or son that was miss
ing. At length there came knight,
who, vowing vengeance, laid deep plot
for the destruction of this wicked lady.
He seized her by her long hair, but as he
TODD over her with his drawn sword, she
suddenly changed into tiny wren, flv-
ing away from under his very fingers, and
80 escaped with a hooking song of tri-
umph; but by some power greater than
her own, the wicked lady fairy was COM
PEELED once in every year to reappear in
the island in her assumed form; and this
is on St. Stephens days when the young
men of the superstitious island hunt after
her with vivid memory of their ancient
wrongs. s.t

Late Beans and Peas.

The Germantown Telegraph has the fol-
lowing suggestions on this subjec::
There are few garden luxuries more
sought for than good peas and tsnap-
short beans; but it is extremely rare
that people know what good peas and
beans are. The peas are generally as
hard assshort, and the beans have to be

~ In cool countries peas and beans are
almost always tender and nice; it is our
hot soil that gives them the tough ter

In old times good part of the winter
in the Irregular gardens" where CAMDEN

winter for particular crops. This prac-
tice consists of turning up q piece of
ground about two feet deep; in farm prac-
tee: subsoiling. It is found that for most
crops this practice is unnecessary. With
good manure and ordinary digging or
blowing, the average Of crops can be we'll

To have good tender stuff the earth must
be deeply loosened as we'll assrich. This
is important even for spring and earlier
crops; but it is essential for fair crops.
It's generally said that it is useless to
try to have good peas and beans in this
country in the fall, and it is usually at
tempted; but in deep cool soil it is very
different thing.
Good deep soil encourages the roots of
vegetables down into cool climate, in
which in summer they luxuriate. This
may not be good for trees, as we want
hard, solid wood and not 1uxurio growth.
In vegetables it is just the reverse. We
do not want bard fibre here, but, soft, ten

drives it from haunt to haunt, from cove
to cover, until finally the rats take to open
spaces, where they fall an easy prey to
Dick and his pinccr. But through the
agency of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals he is compelled to
forego this process in New York State.
In most of the other States. however, he
still employs the ferret. 1t is by far the
most etfectual means of driving the rats
out of the house. The introduction of the
ferret into bulldog three or four nights
in succession, will compel the rats to COM
