Does the World Move.


The Rev. John Jasper, of Virginia,
says, "De sun do move, for in de NOR

Mr.. Jasper's logic, we yet believe the
world moves. " hen Mr.. Jasper's ideas
constituted the popular belief, people
thought that 10 die of smallpox or chol-

AGRICULTURE.

The VALUE OF LEACBED AsHEs.-This
refuse from the asheTies contains con-
siderable quantities OF potash and phos-
phorie scit, which have wonderful
effect upon exhausted soils. We notice
that when this fertilizer is once intro
duced il retains its hold upon the con-
fidence of cultivators, and they buy
ashes every year, frequently Increasing
their orders. The onion growers along
the Sound makes large use OF leached
ashes-buying sometimes By the thou
sand bushels. This is one OF the best
indications OF its value for that crop.
Fruit growers are much pleased with It's
effect upon the growth OF their trees and
shrubs, aud upon their productiyeness.
IL improves the size and quality OF all
the small fruits. Ii is especially bene-
hcial upon strawberries and grapes
The use OF this fertilizer is gradually
increasing among the farmers who are
more remote from the harbOrs where
The ashes are landed. Their effect Is
Immediately visible upon old pastures
and meadows, spread brOadeas., as top
dressing; but they act more satlsfactor-
lily ii applied to the crops at the tire OF
seeding down. They not only largely
Increase the crop with which the grass
seed is sown, but their influence Is visl-
bic for many years afterward in the in
creased yield of grass. A farmer who
hss used ashes freely for twenty years,
upon a hard, worn granite soil, says
they will give an increase Of bay upon
. meadow newly stocked, for eight
years, ana then, if the field is plowed
again, they will show the effect OF the
ashes for six years longer. He applies
about loo bushels 10 the acre on land
that he designs TO keep in meadow, and
about a5 TO pasture land. Tie considers
leached ashes his most effective helper
in Transforming an exhausted, worn out
farm into one of great productiveness,
giving fair reward for his capital and
labor.

YOUTHS COLUMN.

A PotcGer mill.-A powder mill Is
not in the least like other mills. In
stead Of one great building, it is com
posed of many r0ugh-looking little
sheds,-sometimes as many as seventy
or eighty. These are long distances a
part, separated by dense woods and
great mounds of earth, so that if one
'house" is blown up, the others will
escape like fate. OF some the walls
are built very strong, and the roofs very
slight, in the hope that If an explosion
happens, its force will be expended up
ward only. Other houses have enorm-
Gus roofs of masonry covered with
earth the roofs of others are tanks kept
always full of water.
The constant danger rinseparable from
the work would be greatly increased
were there not strict rules, always en-
forced. No cautious visitor can be more
careful than the workmen themselves,
for they know, if an explosion happens,
it will be certain, instant death TO them.
So no lights or fires are ever allowed !;
no one lives nearer the mills than can
be helped; some of the buildings are
carpeted with skins, and the floors are
kept always flooded with an inch or
two of water and in front of every door
is a shallow tank of water. Before en-
tering, every person must put on rub
Der shoes and walk through this water,
for the nails in boot-heel might strike
a spark from bit of sand or gravel.

100, every one is expected to keep his
wits about him; there is never any loud
talking and laughing, and no one ever
thinks of shouting. Yet, with all this
extreme care, explosions sometimes oc-
cur, and then there is seldom any one
left 10 tell how it happened.

Some Practical Remarks.


A Girl that is never allowed TO sew,
I'll OF whose clothes are made for her
and put on her until she is ten, twelve,
Hiteen or eighteen years Of age, says the
''Lady's Journal" is spoiled. The
mother has spoiled her by doing every
thing for her. The true idea of self re-
straiut is to let the child venture. A
child's mistakes are often better than
its no mistakes; because when a child
makes mistakes and has to correct them,
1t is then on the way toward knowing
something. A child that Is walked up
every morning, and never wakes itself
up; and is dressed, aud never makes
mistakes in dressing itself; and is wash
ed, and never makes mistakes about be-
ing clean; and is fed, and never has
anything to do with its food; and is
watched, and never watches itself; and
is cared for, and kept all day from do
ing wrons-such a child might as well
be a taliow- candle, perfectly straight,
and solid, and eomely, and unvital and
good for nothing but TO be burned up.

WATERING HORSES AFTER FEEDISd.-
Another common fault in the ailments
tion of horses is the leading TO water
just after full feed of grain. The first
effect of this is TO largely distend the
stomach and the result may be as seri-
Gus as if the material were masticated
grain and saliva. But should this dam
ger be avoided, matters are not neces-
sarily LETT in better state. The sudden
and incessive influx of water is likely TO
wash much of the contents of the stom-
ach into the intestines before the nitro
genous principles have been digested,
and fermentation, exrication OF gases,
oyer-disteniiOn, colics and inflamma-
IioLs result. Even that Is not all. The
application OF an excess of cold water
on the mucus membrane of the stomach
and intestines causes vascular contrac-
tious, 50 that all tend 10 digestive disor
der of dangerous nature. CopiOus
drsughts Of Ice water are dangerous
alike 10 man and beast. If it must be
taken, it should be taken in small guam
titles only, and frequently. But a
drink OF water of moderate temperature,
just after feed of grain, IS full peril TO
the animal. Thirst should be allayed
before the feed is given: and if any wa
ter Is allowed after, it should be merely
= mOuthful until the lapse of two or
three hours time has been had for gas
tric digestion. After feed of hay there
is comparatively little danger. From
the excessive salivary addition 10 the
hay, and comparatively ANAL amount
u iis albumiBOids. these are rapidly
dissolved out and digested, ana the fur
Jher addition Of water is rather favor
able than otherwise in fastening its
progress into the bowels, where the d.
gestion OF the starch, sugar, fat and
other respiratory elements may be COM
DletSd.
