A PENNSYLVANIA Farmers EGIIy.

At Doylestown, Pa, on Mr.. L. Blacks
farm are over 100 hay and grain stacks,
the accumulation Of sixteen harvests. Mr..
Blacks farm consists Of 1873 acres. 1t is
carefully worked, and as productive as
any farm in Bucks county. Ever since
1862 the crops have been harvested and
stacked up in the fields, and what has
not been consumed on the farm stands as
it was left at the close Of each harvest
season. In all that time not ton of hay
or a bushel OF grain has been sold from
the place. By actual count the stacks
now number 1913, and are in all stages Of
preservation, from the bright ones Of this
wears harvest down to the rotten and
vermin-eaten ones Of longer standing. A
number Of the latter, from exposure to
the q! -, storms s Of many years have rotted
have luXurlant grOwthS Of weeds flourish
ing on their tops. Were they all in con-
ditOn, the aggregate value of these stacks
would not be less than $4,000 or $50
coo, but at least one-half of them are
worthless from the ravagcs Of the weather
and vermin. The motive that actuated
Mr.. Black in thus stacking up the pro-
ducts Of his farm is said to have been
originally desire to hold back for high
prices. The breaking out of the war of
the rebellion was the signal for a rapid
rise in the prices of all farm products.
and in 1862 Black stacked up his crops
in hopes Of realizing extraordinary prices.
Prices reached almost fabulous figures,
but still Black held back his crops for
higher prices. Many offers were made
him, but all were declined and the stacks
went on accommodating. Prices since have
steadily declined, but Black, embittered
by disappointment, continues his stack
ing up mania. Mr.. Elias Black is assist
ed in his management Of the farm by his
brother and sister They live entirely
alone, making no visits and receiving nc
visitors The brothers and sister own the
farm in partnership. 1t was left to them
by their father. Elias is the oldest, and
rules the others in all things He is prac-
tically the master, they servants. They
have entirely secluded themselves from
society. They do not even attend divine
worship

"DruinmerS."

Many of the large commercial firms in
the United States are discovering from
actual experience that the sending out of
'drummers to solicit trade is a very cost
ly way Of doing business, and is in fact
entirely unified for hard times Several
tirst-class New York firms have already
dispensed with their travellers, putting
part OF the money thereby saved into ad-
vertising, and giving their customers the
benefit of the remainder. Some of the
largest firms in Milwaukee have followed
the example and others are preparing to
do SO. The case is also mentioned where
Chicago grocery house, which a few
months ago had sixteen "drummers" out
at yearly cost of $4,000, has abandon
ed the system, and has taken to spending
Onc-tOurth of that amount in ADVERTISING
and the remainder in marking down the
price OF goods. AS result, instead of
doing a proftless business as they were
doing under the drummer system, their
net profits last year were $4,000, and
tins year they expect to make better
showing still. Their customers are saved
a good deal Of Fostering, and are pleased
to find that they can buy on orders from
prices current from two to twenty pcr
cent cheaper than they ever could from
the "drummers

Steam on the Common Roads.

a prediction made about ten years since
by an eminent civil engineer, that the
time was not far distant when the business
OF railroads would be confined to the
transportation Of passengers, mails, and
costly freight, and that all produce and
other heavy or bulky merchandise would
be transported by means of steam road
wagons over the common roads, or over
roads graded especially for the purpose,
does not, by the lights of the present
times, appear SO visionary as it did then
Indeed, 1t seems quite possible that before
another quarter OF century has passed
the prediction will be verified 50 far, at
least as concerns all.roads running through
the thickly settled parts Of the country
and to all the feeders of the grand trunk
lines.
The public need of some cheap and
practical substitute for horses on highways
and farms induced the Legislature of Wis
consln, two years ago, to offer a reward of
$4,000 for one who would do certain
conditions.
Though the most nearly successful of
the competing machines cost but 1000,
and could be run at an expense from So
TO SO per diem, according TO the work
performed, weighing but 5000 pounds
loaded with water and coal for an eight
miles run, hauled wagon and load
weighing $500 pounds over POI miles
OF ordinary country roads at an average
rate of 6 miles per hour, and over some
parts OF the road at the rate of 12 miles
an hour-the average speed of our rail
road freight trains-and although it was
pronounced by the judges TO be of un-
questionably great advantage in plowing,
thrasiling, hauling heavy machinery from
one farm to another, and for heavy team
ing on the highway, it failed to obtain
the prize because something in every way
superior is looked ior.-.Scfsatifc lmeri-

What Smoking Does for Bows.

A certain doctor, struck with the large
number Of boys under fifteen years of age
whom he observed smoking, was led to
inquire into the effect the habit had uDon
their general health, says the British
Medical journal. He took for this pur-
pose thirty-eight boys, aged from nine to
fifteen years, and carefully examined
them, and in twenty-seven of them he
discovered injurious traces of the habit.
In twenty-five there were various disor-
ders Of the circulation and digestion, pal
pltadon OF the heart, and more or less
marked taste for strong drink. In twelve
there was frequent bleeding Of the nose:
ten had disturbed sleep, and twelve had
sIght liberation of the mucous membrane
OF the mouth, which disappeared on ceas-
ing from the use of tobacco for some days,
Medical treatment was of little use till
the smoking was discontinued, when
health and strength were soon restored.

StNre.nOGm and SiNrps,

A clean, tidy, well-arranged store-room
IS one sign Of u good methodical house
Keeper. When stores are put away at
hap-hazard, and taken out at any time
land at any quantity, disorder and extray-
lagance prevail. \ store-roOm ought TO
be large, airy, cool and dry. Such room
lis l<)t always to be had, but even il
closet has 10 be put up with, it may be kept
clean. Shelves should be ranged around
the walls, hooks fastened to the edges of
the shelves. The driest and coolest part
OF tie rooms should be kept for jams. icl-
lies and PICKLES. All the Jars should be
distinctly labelled at the front, SO that
they will not all need to be taken down
every time particular jar is wanted. Bis
cult or cakes should be kept in closely
covered tin boxes; lemons should be hung
IN nets. Soap should be bought in large
quantities, and cut up in convenl ent-sized
pieces so that it may be dry before it is
used. Coffee, when roasted, should be
kept In small quantities; if unroasted, it
will improve with keeping. Stores on no
account should be left in the papers in
which they were sent from the grocer's,
but should be put into tin canisters or
earthen jars closely covered, and each jar,
like the jam, should be labelled. Stores
should be given out regularly, either daily
or weekly. In order to check their con-
sumption, the housekeeper viii do well to
keep III the stoTe-room g memorandum
book, with a pencil fastened to it, and in
this book she should enter the date on
which all stores were brought in or taken
out. By means OF these memoranda she
can compare one weeks outgo with an
other, and Immediately discover any ex-
travagance. \ hammer, few nails,
little gum, ball Of string, a few sheets
OF foolscap, and pair of scissors, should
always be kept in the store-room.

Partial or local debility is generally the
cause Of horses legs swelling over night
in the stable, says the Prairie Farmer
When swcIled legs occur in a horse that
is thin and impoverished, debility must
be counteracted to promote a cure, by
feeding somewhat literally. 1t is aided
also by giving tonics such as half
lrachm Of powdered suiphate of iron, and
two drachms Of powdered gentian root,
mixed in the food once daily. Sinart
hund-rubbing and bandaging should be
employed, for which purpose strong wool
en- cloths of any kind may be made use
Of, but flannel forms the best bandage,
when evenly and firmly applied by means
Of roller four yards in length, and four
inches in breadth. Such bandage may
DC applied every evening as long as need
,d. Its application should always be
preceded by smart friction of the limbs,
and instead of fastening them with strings,
t is better to use strong pins.

EeacoESiieia'S Wealth,

A London correspondent of the New
York Tribune in a recent letter SAYS:
a story is in circulation in America
that Lord Beaconsfield gave $4,000 TO the
Princess Alice fund. Which of his Amer
lean admirers invented that2 His actual
contribution was Just One-fiftieth of the
sum pOrteG-$i00, which is, for him
quite as liberal gift as the hundreds set
against other names less known than his
in the political world but better known
in the city. What is said in the same
paragraph Of Lord Beaconsfield's large
fortune and the generous use he has al
ways made of it is purely imaginative.
He never had large fortune. The ne
cuniary embarrassments of his early wears
are notorious. He has himself said that
it was only his marriage with the rich
widow Of Mr. Wyndham Lewis, in 1889,
which enabled him to pursue his political
career. This aid to his ambition was one
chief source of the loyal gratitude which
he showed throughout her life to this
lady. But her fortune consisted iu a lib
eral jointure, which died with her, and
after her death her husband Quilted the
well-known house in Grosvenor gate,
to keep, as good house for the chief ola
party, and for a man of still unsatisfed
social ambition-a thing which it sounds
odd to say OF a parsonage so distinguished
rs Mr.. DisracH then was, but which is
true nevertheless. lie kept his place at
IIughenden; that was the pedestal on
which he loved, and still loves, to pose as
the fine old English country gentleman.
When ont of office Ire had his pension as
eX-minister of $4,000 year, a pension
obtainaDle only by what is equivalent to
4 declaration of poverty. A minister who
applies for ii must certify that he not
only wants II, but needs it. In office. he
found his $2J,000 salary as first lord so
far from adequate that, on the retirement
Of Lord Mahnesbury, he made himself
lord privy seal, and drew that salary. too,
until a few months ago, when political
reasons induced him to surrender his lu
crative plurality. Lord Bcaconsfeld's
private affairs are, OF course, nobodv's
business but his own, but if they are to
be discussed they might as well be dis
cusscd accurately. As for what is stated
above, it has long been known, has been
repeatedly printed, and concerns rather
his public than his private life

Pats Cherry Coiored Cat.

P. T. Barnum, about twenty years ago
when he was in San Francisco, advertised
for a cherry colored cat An Irishman
answered the advertisement, and offered
to bring him fine Tom cherry coiOred
pussy for two dollars and a half. Bar
mum was so delighted that he sent the
man the money at once in order to hold
him TO his bargain; but his delight
changed to unmitigated disgust when the
lrishman came and ierIled a wall-eyed,
sickly-looking black cat out Of the bag,
and told him that its name was Billy, and
that it was very fond of fish.
''Wnat dye mean by bringing me this
thing!" yelled Banum, Didn't you say
you had a cherry colored cat?n
Il did that, Mr. Barnum." said Mr..
Michael McGuifin, "and didn't OF bring
yez wan? Didn't We iyer ate black cher
res, asthore!"
The great Snowman has never adver-
Used for cherry coIored cat since.

Scientific Notes.

Mr.. Lewis Swift, of Rochester writes to
Nature confirming the observations OF
Prof Watson with regard to the new
planet Vulcan.
They make up furs without sewing
now, by applying a solution Of india rub
ber and benzine with a stiff brush and
passing the material between rollers.
1t has been discovered that wasps and.
bees when subjected to chloroform invari-
ably bring their sting 10 their mouths and
suck the drop Of poison at the end.
There has been dispute in the French
Academy of Sciences about the phono-
graph, a certain number Of the members
contending that the instrument was ex-
hibited by ventriloquist.
The scheme for an observatory on the
summit of Mount Etna is again pushed
in the English scientific journals. The
atmosphere there is peculiarly clear, and
it is thought some important results might
be arrived at by series OF daily observa-
tons.
