Lickshingle's Fish Story.

"That reminds me, /" observed Grand
father Lickshingle, when the girl
brought him a piece of broiled mackerel
at the breakfast table" that reminds
me of fish that me and your grand
mother had. 1t was goldfish. reckon
it was the most remarkable fish that any
body ever heard tell of. We never
noticed any thing peculiar about it till
one bright, sunshiny day, when it jump
ed up on the aige of its globe an begun
to sing for all the world like nightin-
gale or q oriole. We had a canary
hangin' close by, an you never see such
q astonished bird as it was. When he
heard the fish singin' he wilted right
down, and seemed to say:
"sWell, I'm blessed if that don't
beat mel After he had finished his
tune the goldfish yanked his head aroun'
under his fin an scratched hisself like
bird would, an then the canary, that
hadn't got over his surprise, seemed to
say agin:
"Nex' thing you know, old feller,
you'll be layin' q pigeon-egg."
swell, that fish used to jump up on
the aige of its globe an sing as reg'lar
as the day 'ud come, sometimes as often
as dozen times a dly. When we wanted
it to sing for company, all we had to do
was to set a sheet of music where it could
see it, an out that fish 'ud come an
tackle it, whether it was Yankee Doodle
or an aria from an italian opera.
"I could a got it a situation in the
church choir at a good fat salary" con-
tinued grandfather, after pause, only
for one thing. We never could teach
the blamed thing to turn its own
music. ~ Cincinnati Enquirer.

An Alligator Story.

Mr.. W. W. Ocain, living in the neigh
borhood of Huntsville, six miles north
east of Lake City, Fla, has for years
been troubled by the depredations of
large alligator. His track as he made
his way through the fields has been Of
ten seen, and the frequent disappear
ance of hogs occasioned this gentleman
to make offers for his teeth. With the
hope of destroying this pest, he put out
bait and poison several weeks ago. The
bait was taken. but still the alligator
took in additional shotes. A large hook
was obtained and baited, but bait and
hook were taken, the latter by gnawing
the rope which held it. Things were
becoming desperate, and the recent dry
weather favored Mr.. Ocain. Last Satur-
day the alligator was traced to his hole,
and, finding it muddy, it was concluded
that he had just ought retreat. A negro
was sent in, but was Immediately seized
by the leg, and with difficulty was res
cued, badly bitten. However, the party
succeeded in killing the alligator, which
measured ten and half feet. He was
skinned and opened, and in him was
found the hook, a large pig, and several
other things. Having been fed so well
it was thought good time to try alli-
gator steak, but this was prevented by
tha suggestion that the meat might be
poisoned. "A dog, however, was per-
mitted to eat his i'll, II, and, strange to re-
late, in short time vas oeso'-0dcS-

Bank of England Notes.

The financial editor of the Philadel-
phia Ledger states, on the authority of
official report, that the notes of the
Bank of England are made from pure
white linen cuttings, never from rags
that have been worn. They have been
manufactured for nearly two hundred
years by the same family, the Portals,
Protestant refugees. So carefully is the
paper prepared that even the number
of dips into the pulp made by each
workman is registered on q dial by ma
chinery, and the sheets are carefully
counted and booked to each person
through whose hands they pass. The
printing is done by most curious pro-
cess in Mr.. Goes department within the
bank building. There is an elaborate
arrangement for securing that no note
shall be exactly like any other in exist
ence. Consequently there never was
duplicate of a Bank of England note
except by forgery. According to the
City Press the stock of paid notes OF
seven years is about 94,000,O ,OCO in num-
Der and they fill 1000 boxes, which, If
placed side by side, would reach three
miles. The notes placed in pile would
be eight miles high; or if Joined end to
end would form a ribbon $4,000 miles
long; their superficial extent is more
than that of Hyde Park; their original
value was over $4,000, 900, 900, and
their weight over one hundred and
twelve tons.

The coinage of the standard silver dollars
for July fell some $500, 900 short of the mini
mum amount fixed by law, s., ,0O0, 900 month

run night and day during the present month
to make up the deficiency.
The Cabinet has decided that the money
appropriated by the recent act making ap-
preparations for rivers and harbors should
not be withheld. The full amount, nearly
5000, 900, will therefore be expended this
year.

A large number of farmers are una
Bile To understand how it Is possible to
better the condition of lands hy pl0w-
ing in clover, rye, buckwheat, etc., in
green condition. The difficulty is
i'm comprehending methods 10y which
crops that are supposed to draw their
sustenance from the soil in which
they grow can return anything more
to the soil than they took away in
their growth This point is cleared
up when ii Is known that all plants
draw nOurshnent from the Amos.
pbgre as well as from the soil, and this
ia one source OF gain. While the
leaves are accumulatlng stores Of fer
liltv from the air, the roots are busy
searching for it in the soil. and thus
the wo distinct parts OF plants work
together. 1t ia probable that crops ab-
sorb i'm some way nitrogen from the
atmosphere; at least IL has never been
satisfactorily proved that they do not,
and epce from that source one of the
most valuable of the various forms of
plant food may be derived If this
noint is in doubt, II Is certain that the
leaves gather from the atmosphere the
elements of organic matter, and or
panize them so as to form the great
body of the plant; aud when we turn
under the clover il leaves its organic
matter in the soil, and this is in an
important sense manure.
But the excellent effects of blowing
under clover or other green crops are
dul alone to elements OF fertility 0b'
taned from air. The great deep'pen-
etrating roots 20 to point lower than
most of the cereals, and hence they
draw supplies Of mineral food from
sources inaccessible to other valuable
plants, and further, II is to he observ-
ed that these roots Of coarse texture
disintpgrate and loosen the soil, so
that air is let in, and in some sense
the work of the plow Is performed by
them. When these roofs decay, they
form considerable portion Of organ
10 or vegetable matter, which combn'
ed with the mineral gives II good COM
post for better plants to thrive in.
From these brief considerations II
will readily be seen how 1t is possible
