Regarding borers in peach trees, says the
Country Gentleman, 1t is usual to heap
peck of dry Stacked lime about the peach
trees after the grubs had been picked and
before the earth Is drawn back to the tree.
The lime kills any grubs that may be left.
If live grub is thrown into the dry lime it
will soon die; this may be tried to satisfy an
inquiring mind. Having used lime in this
way in 1877, the writer found no borers at
all in his trees in 1878, and therefore has
confidence in this means Of REFRESHING the

correspondent in the Rural World
shows some points of difference between
British and American methods of feeding
stock, as follows: In Great Britain turnips
are cut, reduced to a pulp and mixed with
cut hay or straw, and allowed to ferment.
Hay and straw are always cut up and mixed
with meal. Stock raisers in England buy
oil cake, which Americans consider too ex-
pensive. They wet and use it with cut hay
and straw and meal and pulped turnips. The
manure from such feeding is regarded as of
great value. --s---

Catching Trout by the Tail.

MT. F. French, an angler, writes as follows to the Buffalo Express regarding the habits of the trout: Almost any trout fisherman knows that the habits of the trout vary almost as much as do, the habits of those who fish for them, and this, too, in waters not remotely distant from each other, so that what MT. Prime says may be true in regard to the To- calities in which he has tished. 1 know that they sometimes strike q fly with their tail before taking it into their mouth, as I have seen them do it in three several localities, but I do not believe it is their general custom.
 In 1876, while fishing for trout in Lake Ely, in the Adirondacks, saw this done several times, and as it was the first time had ever seen it, l watched it with very clear, and my cast from thirtyto forty feet, so that l could see all their movements distinctly. I had taken several trout of one-half pound weight which first struck with their tail, and made another cast, when a large fellow rose and struck the tail-fy, 8. red Ibis, with his tail; 1 struck hard at the same time, and hooked him firmly through the roots of the tail, when he immedi- ately had business at the bottom of the lake, and with his first rush took nearly 1 ll1GJ ICCG LII lluC DClOIC COulu SlluD | him.
 How that reel did whizz Then fol- lowed a series of rushes and plunges that makes my blood jingle to think of. He leaped into the air again and again, trying to shake himself loose. but he was firmly hooked, and that hook evi- dently spurred him to put forth his best efforts continually, for he kept me busy for nearly half an hour, and still seemed as fresh as ever, when I determined to see which was the stronger, his tail or my tackle, and began reeling in.
 Tue rod, an eight-ou one, bent and quivered from tip to reel, and the line would occasionally twang like bow string as he jerked it taut in some of his fierce plunges; but line, rod and tail all held, and as I landed him on my raft-a plump beauty, weighing a trifle over two pounds-my shout of triumph awoke the echoes in the old woods for miles around

Roast Rats as Dainties.

Hunger stif1es multitude of preju- dices. A correspondent writing to the Cincinnati Enquirer from Paris says: The siege of Paris has elevated the science of cooked cats, dished dog and rat ragoa1t. Few inspectors of food now adays would turn up or turn in their nose on a tabby-tart, a doggy dumping or even a rat-pie. have a lively recol- lection of mule meat being a tough nor sel to swallow the first time I banqueted of it at Vicksburg, when Gen. Pember- ton could not go out for better food and Gen. Grant would not come in with worse. But ;et the second and third orgie took to the venerable and tough ened mule meat as if it were venison without cranberry sauce. I have done worse since in Italy and paid more. A gallant captain about the same time as the siege of Vicksbufg, and the chief officer commanding the fleet in Mobile bay, ate his roast rat every morning and enjoyed 1t.

The Ring Finger.

Each finger has it's distinctive and it's individual habits. The third finger, which has less independent motion than either of the others, has the compensat- ing honor of being the ring finger; and Dr. Humphrey believes it owes its honor to it's deficiency, and not, as tradition tells, to the belief of the ancients that it is connected by some particular nerve with the heart, so more readily to con- vey. or receive sympathetic expressions. "It cannot" he says, :" be bent or strengthened much without being ac- companied by one or both those next to it. This is partly because its exterior tendon is connected by means of a band of fibers with the tendon on either side of it. You may discern these connecting g bands work up and down under the skin on the back of the hand when you move the fingers to and fro. The ring finger is therefore always more or less pro- tected by the other fingers; and it owes to this circumstance comparative lm- munity from injury, as well, probably, as the privilege of being selected espe- cially to bear the ring in matrimony. The left hand is chosen for a similar reason, a ring placed upon it being less likely to be damaged than it would be upon the right hand.

SJuSt Like a R0y.S

Every well-regulated family should have a boy about fourteen years old, a lawn-mOwer and grass enough to set the boy to work for halfan hour after school. It is an interesting study to see a boy showing a laWn-mower around. No boy can strike a bee-line with mower. He starts out to do it, but he sees a boy on stilts up the street and he stops to rest. He has just started off again when he sees boy with ball down the street, and it is also time to oil the mower. He has just braced himself for new effort when 8 stray dog comes trotting along, and it is that boy's duty to watch that dog out of sight. He turns and shoves the mower along for about ten feet and then he must have drink of water. If the old gent is at home a boy can drink gallon of water and get back to his work in about twenty minutes, but all depends on circumstances. If he gets back he stands and wonders whether it is right or left-handed mower, and why it wasn't rigged to run itself.
 If a rap on the window admOnishes the boy that procrastination is the thief of time, he buckles right down to the business and rushes the mower over four brick-bats, a hoop and several coal clink- CTS, and then comes an examination the knives. Let boy get in the shade with a good brace for his back, and he can examine a lawn-mower from base ment to garret in about half an hour. At the end of the second cut across the sward it is the boys duty to scan the heavens and see if any kites are up.
 A good boy can do this in about fifteen minutes, and he can put in ten more | looking across the street at q white washed fence and a cat. By this time 1 he feels hungry, and when he has hunted the house over for cake it is high time tc go around the corner and see if thai Smith boy has got that bird-traI l finished. Detroit Free Press.

A Man who Can oWag his Left Ear"

A bout dozen well-known members of the Rhode Island Medical Society, says a Providence paper, met at the office of Drs. Hutchinson and Browning to witness q private exhibition of a re- markable nature by Charles B. Warren, of New York. This man met with an accident in his youth that caused q dis location of his hip, and, what was quite remarkable, succeeded himself in reduc- ing the dislocation. This power. if seems, led him to tests of muscuIa,. strength and elxertie e,-~. +ic.-e 1niaIiy ue- veloPod linn into man of extraordinary power. which gave him perfect control of all the muscles of the body. individu- ally and sectionally. But a few days ago he appeared before Dr. Bigelow, of Harvard College, and astonished the doctor by wonderful display of mus cufar movements.
 The exhibition in Providence was of a similar nature and produced no little surprise among the medical saoa7s who assembled to see him. He dislocated al- most any part of his body at will, and then resumed his natural condition in the perfect embodiment of physical de- velopment He first showed a disloca- tion of the hip joint of two and half inches, and just as quickly brought it back to its normal condition. Displace- ments of the wrists and the shoulders, by which he succeeded in lengthening his arms an inch or more, were next shown, following them with a disloca- tion of the jaw in a downward and for ward movement. The difference in the expansion of the chest from it's natural state was seven inches. He showed dislocation of the knee joint, and twisted his limbs about in almost every conceiv- able condition, >actually bringing both feet close together, bottom to bottom.
 But perhaps the most singular per formance of all was that done with his aural app"ndage. The expression, "Can you wag your left earp" has often been heard, though hardly ever" realized, but here was a man who gave an actual illustration of 1t in its literal meaning. The doctors were amused as well as as tonished. Altogether it was most re- markable exhibition, given perfectly free from all deception, before men of acknowledged medical learning, who found their subject one of interesting study. MT. Warren is in excellent health, and is a man, as might naturally be inferred from the foregoing account, of remarkable physical power and en- durance

4 Matter of Interest to Travellers.


 Tourists, emigrants arid mariners find that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a medicinal safeguard against unhcalthful influences, upon which they can implicitly rely, since it pre- vents the effects that all unhealthy climate, vitiated atmosphere, utaccustomed or un- wholesome diet, bad water, or other conditions unfav orable to health, would otherwise pro- duce. On long voyages, or journeys by. land in attitudes adjacent to the equator, it IS es- pecia1ly useful as 9 preventive of the febrile complaints and disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, which arc apt to attack natives of the temperate zones sojourning or travelling in such regions, and IS an excellent protection against the influence of extreme cold, sudden changes of temperature, exposure to damp or extreme fatigue. It not only prevents inter- mittent and renittent fever, and other dis eases of malarial type, but eradicates them, a fact which has been notorious tor years past in North and South America, Mexico, the West Indies, Australia and other countries

The Typical American.

There is one permeating quality of trade and commerce in America, that the life of the individual is concentrated upon business unrelaxingly until death intervenes. There is no retirement for anybody. The thirst to make more, and therefore to do more, aff1icts the mill lionaires quite as intensely as the dity laborers. Political life does not afford any real diversion of purpose. That also is a business. The earnest devotion of the American to vocation cannot be gainsaid. He works very hard, he reads turning his reading and observation to self with many trades. and he is skillful at not a few. A man of forty will very often have served in the army or navy been a printer. clerk, congressman, farmer, editor. frua grower, postmaster, purser, railway lrakenIan and railway conductor. Allthese gradations of en- ployment-with alike serenity of feeling that he is qualified for all-make the American, to say the least, an adaptable man to circumstances, and what he does he does with all his might and cheer fully, as if he loved work He is dan- gerous competitor to people who take no pride in their work, and stickle about pence while pounds are slipping through their fingers. Granted that he can do few segregated things as well or better than the poorly trained artisan at home, yet he has such a command of different lines of employment that he is never driven out of the field of industry HasdaDare Trade Journal
