Goal Ashes.

Coal ashes as fertilizers are said
to be very beneficial for tomatoes
and potatoes, and, to Il less extent,
peas and beans. Moreover they
improve the mechanical condition of
the soil, and are therefore especially
beneficial to claycy and rigid land

in very deeply and uniformly in
the proportion of, say, about one
part of ashes to two Of mold. AS

inasmuch as they are generally CON

A Household Fruit Dryer.

A Michigan man has invented a
fruit evaporator, Which is simple
addition to the household stove.
The dryer is long tin pan, which
may be from three to six. eight or
ten feet long, as may suit the con-
venience Of the room in which is the
kitchen stove. In width it is made
so that it covers one end Of the sur
face top of an ordinary cook stove.
as it rests on and operates by the
heat of the stove. The machine
may be kept at work all the time
the cooking or baking is going on,
rs it occupies but two holes. This
long pan, as it may be named, has a
tight compartment or chamber, which
is partly filed with water, and on
the top surface of this compartment
is placed the fruit or vegetables pre-
pared for drying. The hot water
and steam in the lower compartment
dries the fruit, without danger of
crisping. A peck or half bushel
of fruit may be dried in from one 20
two hours. The fruit when dried
and packed is then in perfect condi-
ton to put away beyond the reach
of flies or anything that will i2jure

Diseases of Farm Stock.

The new Commissioner Of Agri-
culture appears to be trying to make
himself generally useful in Lis de"
partment. He has recently issued
a circular asking for information
from all parts of the United States
in regard to the causes Of diseases
prevailing in all classes Of farm
stock. He thinks that by proper
investigation into these diseases and
their causcs, timely remedies and
prcvcntivcs may be discovered that
will save many millions Of dollars
annually to the farmers of this
country. lie therefore asks for III
formation in regard to such facts as
may be known about the diseases OF
horses, cattle, . eep, swine AMI
poultry, requesting that complete
diagnosis of the disease be sent him,
stating the duration of the attack,
its average fatality, what remedies,
if any, are used, and with what sue
cess. This information will be laid
before Congress, as the basis for Sc
curing an appropriation to meet the
expense of a thorough investis s,tion
of diseases of all classes of farm
animals.

Indians Opposed to Giti .enship.

There seems to be quite general
opposition among the differ mt Indian
tribes to the bill now p ndins in
the Senate, which propose to make
citizens of them. Reno 1stranccs
against the bill have alreldy been
sent to Washington by delegates Of
several of the more ciyiliz,l tribes,
and additional ones are sail to be on
the way. The objection is male tia!
the measure would be a fruitful
source of discord among the Indians
and result in no benefit. Attention
is called to the statement that two
thousand Indians who were male
citizens in Kansas through railro ID
influence have, after a trial of citi-
zcnship, gone into the Indian terrific
rv and cndeavored to become rec M
structed as Indian tribes. 1t is
proper to say. says the Washin ton
correspondent Of tie Baltimore Ser.
that belief exists that much Of tins
opposition is manufactured and got
ten up by white men, spectators aad
others, who would lose the chan es
Cor big Indian contracts, etc., if the
Indians were made citizens.

Strength of the Human Arm.

The powerful force of the hnman
arm when propelled by hale, hearty
stalwart man, is almost incredible.
The damage it may inGict is sim"
ply astounding. and we have recent
iy had a sad. but striking demons:ra-
ton of this krI in our very midst.
A few months since, when Frcizc
hit Andrew Weidner upon Fayette
St, fronting City Hall, it is said that
the latter fell as suddenly as if he
had been struck in vital part with
an AK. The bridge of his nose was
broken, he ceased to breathe in less
than ten minutes, and within u quar-
ter of an hour was as dead rs though
a bullet had penetrated his heart.
1t is stated that Frcize told an
officer that the force of the blow
was so powerful, he came near fall
ing from the rebound, and when he
discovered that the man was dead he
could not realize the fact. We see
it stated in a Virginia paper that
one of the celebrated Randolph fami-
". a near kinsman of Thomas JEFF
ferson. when in his prime, could lift
a thousand pounds. Our shows and
circuses generally exibit man who
displays wonderful fcats of strength,
but we have rarely or never known an
instance where q single blow from
the human arm so instantaneously
produced death. as that inflicted by
Frcize upon Weidner. 1t should
prove a sad warning to all possessed OF
such muscle to be extremely guarded
as to when and how they use it.
