A Close Shave.

A picturesque incident is related con-
corning General Chanzy during the time
of his imprisonment under the Paris Com
mune. He was closely watched, and
when one morning he asked Tor barber
to shave him, that individual was only al
lowed to enter escorted by two national
guards. The day was dull and the light
bad, and the knight of the basin moved
the genera about several times, complain
ing that he could not see and that the
guards were in the way Grumbling, they
fell back little, and the barber began
his work. Presently he observed that he
had never seen a man more difficult to
shave, and adding, how hollow your
cheek is Come, general, a la Promenade! ~
he thrust his thumb into the generals
mouth to press the cheek outward. The
prisoner was for the moment naturally
enraged, and was about to protest when
he became aware that some small object
was lying on his tongue. The shaving
finished and his visitors gone, he placed
himself in the only position in the cell
in which he could not be seen, and took
from his mouth what proved to be little
roll of paper, on which was written,
"Keep up your courage; you are not
forgotten; this will not last long. Saisset.' =
1t was a true prediction. In few days
the general was liberated by an order
from the Central Committee.

English Summer.

If one may judge the climate by the
glittering July, England is a land of
sunshine as we'll as flowers. Light comes
before three o'clock in the morning, and
it lasts through dreamy, lovely gloam-
ing till ten O'Clock at night. The morn
ing sky is light blue, dappled with slate
colored clouds. A few large stars are
visible there, lingering to OUTAGE the
dawn. Cool winds whisper, and present
ly they rouse the great sleepy old elms;
and then the 1ooks-which are the low
comedians of the air in this region-be-
gin to grumble; and then the sun leaps
above the horizon, and we sweep into a
day of golden breezy cheerfulness and
comfort, the like Of which is never known
in New York between June and October.
Sometimes the whole twenty four
hours have drifted past as if in dream
of light and fragrance and music. In a
recent moonlight time there was scarcely
any darkness at all; and more than once
or twice have lain awake all night
within a few miles of Charing Cross
listening to the twitter of small birds
and the song of nightingale, which is
like the lapse and fall Of silver water. It
used to he difficult to understand why
the London season should begin in May,
and run through the summer it is not
difficult to understand the custom now

until the next morning. At last accounts
Mr.. Farris was still in somewhat critical
condition.

Poultry OH the Farm.

Breeding and rearing poultry, the pro
duction of eggs and dressed fowls for the
market, has been a neglected industry
throughout this country. Deemed insig
niticant in It's character, many farmer
has devoted his attention to occupations
far less remunerative. No we'll ordered
farm should be considered complete with
out its complement ofpoultry, while the
selection of breeds should not be a hap
hazard matter, but conducted with the
same intelligence and investigation as
the choice of mich cows, steers for feed
ing, sheep or pigs. With some persons
the sale of eggs would be desirable
speciality, with others the production of
chickens, each governing his action in the
premises in accordance with his particu-
lar market and with the circumstances
by which he Is surrounded. In travelling
through the country, even among our
best and most favored farming districts,
one is surprised at the general absence OF
interest in the poultry business among
our general farmers. Yet it is difficult to
name any animal fed on the farm that
gives better returns for outlay in food

can always be marketed with such salts
factory results. In keeping poultry, like
any other branch of husolandry, it is only
the best that 1nsures profit. There IS
title difference in the outlay of time and
money, whether one or another breed is
kept, but in the returns the balance is
vastly in favor of the improved specimens
That which is worth doing at all is worth
doing we'll, and nowhere is this more
manifest than in the poultry line.
In this brief article it IS not intended
to recommend any particular breed, but
to call the attention Of such of our read
ers as have not Of late given this subject
the thought it deserves, to the desirabili-
ty Of letting poultry occupy even small
place in their thought and attention; to
impress upon all the importance Of cult
waiting every source of income from the
farm or village lot. Nothing about the
farm will yield so good returns for care
and judicious management, and whether
for use at home or for sale at market, moth
ing is better appreciated than the choice
productions which are sure to result from
proper selection Of fowls, generous feed
ing and skillful preparation of their pro-
ducts for consumption.-American Quilt

HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN
Save The Straw.

Straw is worth m oney on the farm; first
for bedding animals, second for throwing
into the feeding and barn yards, and
third, if there be surplus, for rotting
where it may happen to lie. All t. is Of
course with reference to its ultimate val
lie as manure. Yet large class of farm
ers in t West, yearly burn vast quaint
ties of straw, thus reducing it simply to
its inorganic elements. $50. -
English analysis shows that good wheat
straw contains quite as mucC nitrogen,
almost as much potash, and three fourtrs
as much phosphoric acid as stable ma
nure Of average quality. Yet as these
substances exist in the straw in insolu-
bic forms, the necessity of it's undergoing
fermentation before being applied to the
land is evident.
So far IS the mechanical action ON the
land is concerned, straw or other hitter
is valuable in its natural state on all our
stiff prairie loans and clays. This me-
chanical division is important. It is not
always IN easy matter however, to pillow
under long straw nicely. If half rotted
however, this objection is not met If
the straw is put on the land to the ex
tent OF ton per acre, as it comes from
the thresher, or after being tramped by
stock as it is pulled from the stack when
feeding, good plowman will find but
little difficulty in managing it. This
would have considerable effect in loosen
ing the texture of the soil. Every farm
er must of course understand the nature
and capabilities Of his soil. Course m a.
nure must not be allied to lioht DOrOus
soil. It needs binding, and therefore
those manurcs, called cold manures, as
the dropping of cattle, are preferable,
while the manure from the horse stable is
proper for heavy scI.s. But to return to
the straw.
Sooner or later the fertile prairies Of
the West and Sc th-west will need ma
nure, Just as the older settled timber re-
gions Of the cal settled states. do need,
and for long TIME past, have needed
manure. Even now some OF our timber
soils need it, Il indeed the same may be
said of some Ct the older settled portion
of the prairie region Of the West. The
way to keep up the fertility Of soil is to
take it in tine and every farmer who
wastes valuable fertilizlng material be-
cause the lard now may not seem to need
it, commits error; for just in proportion
will it, however rich it may be, exhaust
itself 1t is cheaper to feed year by year
with what naturally accumulates, than to
wait until exhaustion appears, and then
gradually and tediously bring it back
through a long series of years Of nursing
to something of its normal fertility.

them where they will do the most good,
but the birds are very largely benefited
by this means. Secondly-this spading
freshens their floors and affords them a
footing for two or three weeks. The top
soil, tainted from long use, is turned un-
der, where it will be out of the way for
uture harm. Once month during the
summer, if your stock is still confined to
the same limits, go through with this
digging and spading process again. 1t
will pay you, every time you do it.

Deathbed Preparations.
How General Dodge Made Good Bargain in
Mining Stock.

San Francisco Cor. Virginia City Chronical
Apropos of the rise in Mammoth, they
tell capital story about General Dodge.
Some time ago A. G.. Brown, we'll
known operator here, bought 900 shares
of Mammoth from General Dodge at So
a share. This was when the Company
was first organized, about eight or nine
months ago, and So was bed rock. The
thing hung fire for long time. The
Sierra and Nevada excitment came along,
and nobody gave Mammoth a second
thought. 1t was not on the Board; it
had no value, and you couldn't really e i've
it away. Invent by the name of "Dodge's
pup" Assessments were levied regular
ly. Brown talked long and loud, and
the street resounded with his curses. He
swore that Dodge had swindled him, and
by the gods he was going to get even
with that warrior some day, come veal,
come woe
The day before the news of the strike
in Mammoth leaked out Dodge, who
was lying very low at Oakland, sent a
telegram over to Brown that he would
like to see him at once. Brown had heard
that the General was at the point of death
and feeling Of sympathy prompted him
to respond at once, SO he took the next
boat. Arriving at the Generals elegant
home he was shown up to the invalid's
chamber. Nobody was there but Gener-
al Dodge and his secretary. The Gen.
eral lay propped up by pillows, looking
the picture of gastliness. He was very
feeble-his breath came quick and short,
his eyes were glittering and his hands Law
helpless beside him.
81 have sent for you, Mr.. Brown said
the General, with much difficulty of
speech, 'to say-that-that-I am very
ILL; and-1 fear | may not get over it.
With view to that contingency-I-I-
have been arranging my business affairs.
Here the General was overcome with
weakness, and pause of five minutes en-
sued>t to enable him to recuperate. I am
-told-that you are not satisfied with
the sale-I made to you Of that NAM
moth. Now I don't want-to go-out-
of-the-world feeling that I leave any
body-behind who believes that I--have
-ever-wronged--him. surely did not
mean to-wrong you'll believed the
stock-was worth the money, and l be-
lieve-so yet, but do not want any body
now-to say that have got the better of
them. l am-very-ill. I don't know
what-the stock-is worth, or if is worth
any thing-but if you like will call our
trade off. Give me your stock, and will
give you your $4,000 back" Here the
General sank back utterly exhaqsted.]
In very pity Mr.. Brown would not pro-
long the conversation. In a few words
he expressed his sympathy for the Cen
eral; and then, with the remark that
though he did it with some reluctance,
he would accept the offer.
"Antone," gasped General Dodge, faint
~, from the pillow, to the secretary,
! give Mr.. Brown check--and take his
stock" The next morning at nine o'clock
every body knew that big strike had
been made in Mammoth, and before night
$40 was freely bid for the stock. To-day
fifty shares all that could be got we're
bought at $16 share. General Dodge is
slowly recovering, and on Monday was in
his office. 4
