FARM AND GARDEN.

GROWING PECAN NUTs.-It is certain
ly to be regretted that our people can
not more fully appreciate the pecan as
crop to be cultivated. Thousands
upon thousands of well-arranged and
carefully cultivated groves ought now
To be coming on in all parts of the low
er Mississippi valley; yet, strange as it
may seem, they are just about as few
and far between as angels visits.
Why? L cannot tell, unless it is mere
ly another case of the "prophet in his
own country" the pecan being "only
a wild tree" you know. Possibly we
would all have English walnuts, would
they grow with us as readily as does
the pecan, and yet there is always de-
mand for the fruit of the pecan, and it
is really more profitable than that of the
English walnut. We ought to put out
pecan trees. Neglecting to do so may
be wronging ourselves, and it is un-
doubtedly wronging the generation to
come after us. There can be no doubt
of the fact that the man who leaves to
his posterity flourishing grove of pc
can trees, leaves them a legacy almost
as good us a gold mine. That is what
they say concerning the olive groves
in the Old World, and Il pecan grove,
properly cared for, would be worth, all
things considered, just about as much
as an olive grove of the same size.
The pecan starts readily from seed;
most of the nuts offered for sale in the
shops will germinate promptly if care
fully planted. 1t likes low, rich, bot
tom land, not permanently wet, though
will a n M IN
word, any soil that will sustain an ap-
pie or peach orchard, will do for the
pecan; and it is a tree of much wider
range than is generally supposed. |

the woods along the Mississippi river,
one hundred miles above st. Louis, as
ever grew in the State of Texas.

Webster's Financial Weakness.

Persons who knew Webster intimately
in his early life were wont to SPEAK Of
him, to put it delicately. as entirely de-
void of business methods and business
ideas. Charles Sumner mentioned, more
than once, an experience he had with
the godlike Daniel, whose successor he
was Q850) In the national Senate. 1t
was while Sumner was practicing law in
Boston, years before he had acquired
any general reputation. He. and Web
ster had defended the Commonwealth in
suit, and had been allowed 81 900 each
for services. One day Webster stepped
into Summers office aud said, "I'm
going over to the State House, Sumner,
to get my 81, 900, and I'll get yours, too,
if you like Sumner, it seems, had
some knowledge of his associates pecul-
iarities, and declined the proposal with
thanks; and, when it was urged, de-
clared emphatically that he preferred to
let his money remain where it was. "All

An Unexpected Response.

Preachers in the frontier settlements
have had often ludicrous experiences.
They must hold. the attention of a con-
gregation in spite OF crying babies, and
keep their own gravity in circumstances
both awkward and ridiculous. Occa-
sionally the strain is too great, and they
surrender to the situation. An eloquent
Episcopal clergyman was ANONYMOUSLY
driven from the pulpit by donkey.
He was favorite preacher with the
frontier families, for he depended little
on manuscript, and used familiar
phrases and Illustrations which inter-
ested them in his sermons. In enforc-
ing the lesson of sermon, he was earn
est and practical, and made direct ap-
peals to his hearers.
On one occasion, during the summer.
he was preaching in crowded school
house. The windows were open, and
cattle were browsing on the shady side.
Among them was donkey, which,
having drawn one of the families to
the meeting, had been turned loose to
browse. The preacher was ending his
sermon with, "And now, beloved, what
think We of these things?"
At this juncture the donkey put his
head through the open window and gave
a most unearthly bray. The preachers

with a dead weight upon the healthy
action and growth of the social body.
He produces social indigestion and

him for lump of sweet and soluble SUI

in the wind or tea of life, it is only into
dregs of questionable deposit at the bot
tom of the glass. In all generous and
enthusiastic conversation he is q wet
blanket. You can't kindle him short of
petroleum or nitro-glycerine; but, if
you should kindle with the flame of any
unprecedented thought or feeling, he
pulls out patent formulated fre-extin-
guisher, and tries to put you out.

Turkish ClemencH to Yermin.

A Turkish family often remove from
one set of apartments to another IN
order to escape the feas and other yer
min. The insects take up their abode
between the badly-jointed planks and
under the rugs. They increase and
multiply. because the Turks are unwill-

familiar with Turkish manners, tells the

she would not be longer troubled in that

The danger of inhaling the vapor4o
turpentine has been long known, and its
pernicious influence on the health is be-
yond all doubt, as has been verified in
several cases occurring in persons sleep
ing in newly-painted rooms, some of
which have even proved fatal. Several
theories, more or less plausible, have
been propounded to explain the preju-
dicial effects of the inhalation of these
vapors; but, whatever be the correct ex-
PLANTATION, there is no doubt of the dan
ger Of occupying room recently paint
ed in which turpentine has been en-
ployed, before complete desiccation has
taken place. It was pointed out by the
Council of Hygiene, that a sudden death
which recently happened in Paris was
attributable t. tit: cause, it being shown
that it could not be ascribed to the lead
which entered into the composition of
the paint of the room in which the de-
ceased slept The lead, being fixed
and non-volatile, cannot in these cases
be accused of being the offending ele-
ment.

SOLITUDE. II
nY John IDIEwOOD.

And what is solitude? An echo says,
To roam away and hold communion sweet,
Alone with nature and with natures God,
Where sounds of revelry and din OF strife
Retreat TO nothingness; to seek the deep
And silent wood, and stroll the brook beside,
Whose silver waves but ripple forth song
OF praise to Him whose bound ess grandeur crown
The universe II thought and deed and truth n
With love g 4 III gent light; to go where man ~
Is not, nor ur mas been, nor stain OF sin
PoIlutes the fragrant air with incense dense
OF crime andswoe and pain; where grandly DOW
The giant oak and tender wildwood hower
To Him who reigns supreme-the King OF Kings.
Not 40 to me- To stand within the midst,
And hear the iostng sway that strife doth mete
To those who walk upon the thoroughfare
OF busy selfish gain; to stand where life
Is all aiame with love for power and pelf-
An ardent eager thronging mass OF clay
That qrinds humanity to dust for gold;
Where might is right and honesty 1s sin,
And he who would not be an intldel
To curse and loud blaspheme the God of gods,
Ia Stunned as though fool and lunatic-
The dregs of all created thought; to live,
To move and know no sympathiZing breast
Tn which heart doth dwell as virtue pure
Doth burn responsive to thine own wild hopes
To feel there is no heart that beats for thee,
Or loves to think or dream of thee as friend,
Or call thee some dear name, as in the past.
All this is solitude! A doleful state;
The widest, deepest solitude that comes
To human ken-the dregs of earthly woe;
The spell of death and blackness of despair.

Knew His Business.

A conductor on one of the Chicago
street-cars suddenly experienced relig-
ion and joined small flock in the neigh
borhood of his residence. None more
devout than he was to be found in the
country round, and every spare moment
from his business was put into some
thing energetic toward Strengthening
up the little church into which he had
projected himself. Noticing his interest,
his pastor, to encourage him, showed
him along all he could, and in short
time the new convert was shining light
among his fellow-worshipers, and the
Christian grace with which he passed
the contribution-plate evoked nickels
from what before had been barren
pockets.
One Sunday morning hoodlum was
noisy, and the conductor quietly ordered
him out. He went, but last Sunday
evening he appeared with mob of dis
solute companions. bent on difficulty
The conductor kept an eye on the leader
until the disturbance became unbear-
able.
Put on breaks moment, parson, F"
said he, "till / look after this fare"
Approaching the thug, he went for
him, and wiped up several yards of aisle
with him, and then stood him on his
legs. 'r
give cents for the kingdom of God p
he demanded.
The hoodlum said he did not have to
pay.
Five cents for this ride on the Cos
pei chariot, and he smashed the thug
in the countenance.
"But, BROTHER demonstrated the
pastor, you cannot compel him to con-
tribute"
"Never you mind that, parson You
preach and I'll collect. This man can t
dead-head on this orthodox through line
without putting up. Beside, I'm re-
sponsible to the company for his fare.
I've punched him and he's got to show
coin"

died indebted to his younger colleague
for that amount!
Webster's fame was that he never took
any notice of his debts, and that he was
totally reckless of money. All he wanted
was supplied by his Boston admirers,
and it slipped through his fingers like
quicksilver. He appeared to be SO fully
aware OF his idiosyncrasy as to jest
about 1t.

self-possession wavered, and hands and
handkerchief went up to the faces of
the congregation.
The silence grew oppressive but. the
preacher managed to add, Ct say, my
brethren, what think you of these
things ?" to which the donkey respond
ed by q second hideous bray. It was
too much for preacher and nearer. In
minute the sermon was. ended. the
congregation dismissed, and the people
gathered IN groups outside, convulsed
with laughter.
