Nor MUCH OF Loss.-A young lady
went to drug store Monday, located not
100 miles from the market house, and had a
prescription made up.
"How much ?" inquired the lady.
"Fihy cents" said the clerk.
"But have only forty FIVE cents with me, "
replied the customer; cant you let me have
it for that? ?"
"No ma am" said the clerk, "but you can
pay me the FIVE cents when you come in
again"
But suppose 1 were to die" said the lady

"Well, it wouldn't he very great loss. -

SALT ON WHEAT LANDAU experiment
with salt on wheat, the Indiana Farmer says,
was made this year by James A. McMurray of
Boone county. On one tract he applied ire
fuse colt," which lie purchased for fifty cents
per barrel, putting it on at the rate of a
thousand pounds to the acre on one tract on
another 500 pounds; on another 25O pounds :;
and the remainder of the field which contained
better soil than any other portion salted, was
left untouched. All the grain was sown Oh
the same day, and the blowing and narrowing
was the same in each case. The result was
that the heads from the tracts not treated with
salt were shorter and greener than the others.
The heads from the land receiving 500 and
1000 pounds of salt were from half to three
quarters of an inch longer than those taken
from the unsalted land and had three grains
to the line, while the other generally had two
the former grains also being heavier. The
advantage of salt in soil is thus made apparent
to the extent that each one may figure out
for himself.

Cow PEAs.-Drlling peas is the best way
to plant them this mode permits their cult
walton, and this keeps down the grass and
weeds. A good plan is to bed up the land as
for cotton say in rows about two and half
to three feet apart, and then plant it in the
water furrow. One plowing will insure good
crop. If they are TO be used as a winter feed,
cut, just as the pod is formed. Peas are
nutritious and good for horses, mules and
COWS. The regenerating effects of the soil
by turning under the peas are we'll known.
Chemical analysis has proven that in all the
essential elements of plant food, the pea is
very nearly as rich as clover. Peas are great
resters of worn out soils. They will flourish
where the soil is too poor to grow clover; they
gather as much ammonia from the air as
clover, fatten stock rs well, are grown in less
time, with less labor and expense, and on
poorer soil. In the green state they make
a good dish for the table, and dry peas make Il
good soup.

WHERE COFFEE GROWS.-lhe fOur great
coffee countries of the world are Brazil, Java
Sumatra, and Ceylon. Hitherto 250,000 tons
have been considered as good yearly figure
for Brazil, but last year. the export alone
amounted to $4,000 tons. But the con.
sumption of coffee in the country itself now
amounts to $4,000 tons, raising the total
yearly product of Brazil to 333, 900 tons
Fortunately for the planters in other parts
of the world, coffee has grown into necessity
to the United States, and the price has
risen. Although the soil of Brazil, especially
for coffee culture. is very extensive, yet the
difficulty of obtaining labor daily becomes
greater, and this renders it doubtful whether
the above figures can be exceeded. The crop
in Java and Sumatra was estimated at "a 600
tons for export; the consumption of the In
habitants although the population is double
that of Brazil, is not half of that of the latter
country. The production of Ceylon, though
greater than that of 1878, shows falling of
when compared with former years there were
in all Al, 200 tons exported from the island
the native consumption being very small.
THE HUMAN FIGURE.-The proportions o1
the human figure are six times the length oi
the feet. Whether the form is slender OF
plump, the rule holds good any deviation
from it is a departure from the highest beau
ty in proportion.
The Greeks make all their statues accord
ing to this rule. The face from the highest
point of the forehead, where the hair begins,
to the chin, is one tenth Of the whole stature
The hand, from the wrist to the middle finger,
is the same From the top of the chest to
the highest point of the forehead, is a sew.
enth. If the face, from the roots of the chin,
be divided into three equal parts, the first di'
vision determines the place where the eye
brows meet, and the second the nostrils The
height, from the feet to the top of the head,
is the distance from the extremity of the fin.
gers when the arms are extended.

CONFIICTTNG DIAGNOsEs.


The popular mind is still confused by
the conflicting rumors which find their
way into the public prints in relation to
the health of Mr.. Tilden. The enter
prise of ascertaining his exact physical
status is beset with manifest obstacles,
ment for the average citizen of Ohio,
whose investigating impulses have been
frequently known TO penetrate even TO
the grave, the sacred privacy which
enshrines the sage of Gramercy Park
was last week invaded by brace of
Buckeye lawyers, who, after an inter
view with the great defrauded, brought
away encouraging accounts Of the
extreme decentralization of their host,
declaring that he was on the edge of the
grave, and that it would not take much
To tumble him into it. Subsequently,
however and before John Kelley could
call convention of Tammany for thanks
giving services, Mr. Tilden was waited
upon by Mr.. Moller, New York sugar
rehner, who pronounces the Claimant in
first-class health, and while he comedies
that the left arm of the sage Is slightly
paralyzed, he represents his right hand
as being in high state of efficiency, and
equal to the task of maintaining his
grip upon the Democratic party till the

the air with mercantile argot, and as you
held your way westward, you got into

finery, and tank and drill, and rigs, walk

and Least.

in his own country, and have been
translated into every language of the
civilized globe, purposes remaining in
this country until May next. not wish
ing to cross the Atlantic IN winter, and
desiring besides TO see the beauties of
spring III the new world. In the course
of recent conversation, Herr Won Bod
enstedt was asked to say frankly what
one popularity of American life pleased
him most, and what most displeaSed
him. He said:
what pleases me most, and what
greatly astonishes me, too, is the manner
III which the people here govern them
selves without soldiers to make them
behave, and the good order, security and
propriety that characterize the street
life. Here young girls can go every

Why, even III our smaller German cities,
like hanover, q lady would not venture
TO walk single square at midday
Now, If you insist that l shall tell you
what most displeases me, l will say that
it is the rapIdiiy with which people
move about. Everybody seems to be in
hurry, and to have no time to enjoy
life. To an old man like me it is not
agreeable to see all the world rushing
past him and away from him."
Are you not annoyed by the lack of
politeness in American
mo, because l see that people here
have no time for all the forms of Euro
pean manners, and because | find that,
while the bows and grimaces and pro
testations required by our European ETH
quette are omitted, there is more genu-
inc courtesy and kindness of feeling here
than there
The only journey Herr Won Bodenstedt
has made since he came to this country
was TO Washington, where he was the
guest of Secretary SchurZ. In narratIng
his experience at the capital, he speaks
of his surprise at the absence of court
restrictions and fOrmalities at the white
house. When Mr.. Schurz proposed
to take him for a call upon the Presi-
dent, the poet asked what he should
wear, supposing that there must be
some particular toilet prescribed for
an audience with the head OF the nation.
'Wear?' repeated the secretary, "why,
just what you have on now" They went
TO the White House and were admitted
by servants who wore no livery, and
who informed them that the President
would see them at once. What shall
we do with our overcOats 81 asked the
poet, seeing that his guide, whose peck
cts were stuffed full of papers, and who
carried a bundle of letters and kilograms
in his hand, made no movement toward
laying aside his outer garment. "Never

''cOme right in" They went straight TO
the Presidents room. Mr.. Hayes greet.

down, drew chair up beside him, and

at this reception.-New York Tribune

This cereal has been attracting very
general attention since the last report of

The kernels grow in tufts, like sor-
ghum. The Kernel is smaller and nearer

Its chief value however lies in its abil-

WHO'S AHEAD2

The man who has been taught To hold
10 the good old orthodox maxim that
figures don't lie is naturally somewhat
confused To- witness their won
derful fiexibility in the hands of
such facile mathcmaticians as the cdi-
tors Of the papers representing the re
spec i've presidential factions of the Re
publican party For instance, "a recent
issue of the Chicago Inter Ocean report
ed the Illinois delegation so far as heard
from up to that date as standing 10 for
Grant and G3 for Blaine; while the Tri-
bune of the same date with equally good
facilities for ascertaining the situation,
gave Blaine 104 and Grant So
votes. The same and even
wider discrepancies are observed
on the part of many prominent journals
who are striving TO cast the horoscope
for the Chicago conventiOn, the friends of
Grant claiming II walk-away, and the adj
vocates of Blaine on the other hand show
ing by mathematical demonstration
that the Plumed Knight already has II
majority of the instructed delegates
with a number of states still to hear
from. This condition of affairs argues
either great impcrfection in the meth
DDS employed by the metropolitan press
for gathering news, or that the intelli-
gence which it sends forth to the world
savors less of truth than of the partisan
flavor and personal bias impaired there
to by its editors, Certain it is that the
current newspaper reports aud comments
so far from simplifying the presidential
problem have rather tended to mystify
the public mind, as to the result at Chi
cago, which, with all the speculation that
is rife concerning it, must after all await
the developments of the future to decide
the question which is absorbing so large
a measure of public interest.
