Washington asa Voter

Washington voted AT all the Fairfax cleo

supporting the Federal candidates. A
though living some distance from the Court
House, at the Alexandria market, he gener-
ally voted early The polls were reached by
a flight of steps outside which in 1879 bad
become old and shaky. When the General
reached the steps he put one toot upon
them and shook the crazy ascent as II to
try its strength Instantly twenty brawny
arms, one above the other, grasped the
stairway, and a dozen mems shoulders
grasped it. Nor did man move until the
venerable chief deposited his vote and re-
turned. 81 saw his last bow" said one of
them half century afterward "it was more
than kingly. ."-Harper's Magazine.

SOWING RYE IN DRILLs.--Persons whc
have only small farms or garden plots, and
wish to grow liitle rye, for the sake of Il G
straw or for other purposes, can do it very
successfully in drills, which should be al

culture. In this way, with little compoS
in the furrows, | have grown il, even or
rather thin soil, at the rate of twenty-five
bushels per acre, and the straw from five an
half to six feet in height. Such yield !

Pearl Divers and Sharks.

The pearl divers of the Coromandel Coast
are not unfrequently attacked by ground
sharks, as rule, shark will leave man
with dark skin alone but when hungry 1t
rarely makes difference between a Euro
pean an | u Hindoo. Knowing this the di
vers frequently arm themselves with stout
bamboo, in the shape of a cross, with the
exiremeties made sharp. With this four
pointed dagger they will dare any shark t.
seize them, for, as the monster turns on its
back and opens its mouth for the bite, they
dexterously thrust the bamboo cross between
the jaws.
Great care is taken of strength of the
bamboo the consequence is that the shark,
on closing its mouth to get the first taste OF
its anticipated m ssl, drives the spikes well
home between its jaws.
Fishermen say that once shark has q
sturdy, well pointed and placed bamboo
in its disteuted mouth, no Efforts of tn,
creature can rid it of the wood. Its efforts
are being described as being most curiou
and comic. Tue diver, as soon as he ha
impealed his enemy, has to get out of th'
way as fast as possible, for blow from th'
tail of an iuiuriated shark is no joke. A
f,r the comic side of the picture, it must /

see their dreaded, but now impotent, arch

BLOWING OUT 4 KEROSENE LAMP.

A very common method Of extinguishng a
kerosene lamp is to turn down the wick until
only minute flame is visible and then blow
down the chimney. This is very danger
Gus practice, being very frequently the case
of explosions. People who use kerosene
lamps should make it an absolute rule never
to attempt to extinguish a lighted lamp III
that way, however small the flame. Seen
tifc reasons might be given for such advice
but the best reason that can possibly be CIV
en- is the fact that explosions frequently re
suit from a neglect of it. 1t is just as easy
to blow into the lower end of the chimney as
the top the only difference being that in the
former case the person blowing is required tt
stoop little, while in the latter such an in
