right at you, is the most dangerous thing
you can possibly hit, but the rails this
time, instead OF piercing every part of the
boiler and engine, swerved off and did
little injury. The dinner kettles of the
laborers flew up like pop corn on frying
pan, and crowbars, shovels, pickaxes,
tamping- bars and spikes, made com
plete Kaleidoscope in the air. One Of the
axles of the car, to which was attached
one wheel, bounded over the smoke-stack
and came crashing through the cab win
dow, ON the fireman's side, who was ear
~ killed in his great hurry to get out of
the way. The most of the car landed on
the front of the engine, and before
Hughey could stop he had carried it
through one of those old-fashioned COW
cred bridges, nearly a quarter of a mile
off. In all my experience" concluded
Carpenter, "I don't think l ever heard
tell of such miraculous escape as
Hughey had. He must have been going
through the air like an electric current
when he couldn't stop an empty engine
before hitting such dangerous thing"

Profitable Pork Raising.

My experience the last few months
convinceS me more than ever that we
must raise pork as cheap as possible if
we are to sell at present prices at any
profit. l have been in the habit of feed
ing my young pigs soaked corn pretty
freely; but have come to the conclusion
that bran and shorts or rye and oats
ground together and fed as thin swill
is better. | think it is better cooked,
and, in cold weather, fed warm. Feed
no more each time than they will eat
clean. I am we'll pleased with my ex-
perience with the Red Brazilian Arti-
choke as a cheap food for swine, and
shall this year increase my fields to
twenty acres Last year was poor
year for them, and yet mine yielded 800
bushels per acre. am well satisfied
that they sometimes yield 500 bushels
per acre. The hogs seemed to like them
as well as corn, and, where they have
plenty of them, will not only grow but
fatten in fact, will leave their corn to
eat them. | think them the cheapest
hog food we can raise. Besides the tops,
Of which they produce a large amount,
can be used as fodder. Cattle, mules
and horses are very fond of it. Last
season | raised 500 bushels Of ,Mangel
wurzel beets, which I am now feeding
to my brood COWS. They eat them
eagerly, and I have no fears of their
eating their pigs when they come.
tried to secure a nice lot of clover, (sec-
ond growth) but the "best laid plans of
mice and men gang aft aglee." Twice L
cut it and cured it carefully, but lost it
with the storms before | could stock it.
[ think if had such stack of clover
now [ could make good use of it, cut
short, dampened and mixed with ground
feed. To fatten with or finish, admit
corn is king, but my experience con-
vinces me it is not the best food for
young growing hogs. They need coarser
or more bulky food, and some exercise
to develop large forms, with plenty of
muscle and healthy digestive organs
When they have reached this stage, they
are ready to receive finishing touches
that the corn and leisure can give, and,
if placed on a cheap market will still do
the breeder some good.

The Great Wall of China.

The great wall of China was meas
ured in many places by Mr.. Unthank,
an American Engineer, lately engaged
in a survey for Chinese railway. His
measurement gave the height of eighteen
feet and width on the top at fifteen
feet. Every few hundred yards there is
tower twenty-four feet square and
from twenty to twenty-five feet high.
The foundation of the wall is of solid
granite. Mr.. Unthank brought with him
brick from the wall, which is supposed
to have been made 200 years before the
time Of Christ. In building this i'm
mense stone fence to keep out the Tar
tars, the builders never attempted to
avoid mountains or chasms to save ex-
pense. For 1900 miles the wall goes
over plain and mountain, and every foot
of the foundation is in solid granite, and
the rest of the structure solid masonry.
In some places the wall is built smooth
up against the bank, or caRons, or preci-
pices, where there is a sheer descent of
1000 feet. Small streams are arched
over, but on the larger streams the wall
runs to the waters edge and tower is
built on each side. On the top of the
wall there are breastworks, or defenses,
facing in and out, so the defending forces
can pass from one tower to another
without being exposed to an enemy from
either side. To calculate the time of
building or cost of this wall is beyond
human skill. So far as the magnitude
of the work is concerned, it surpasses
everything in ancient or modern times
Of which there is any trace. The pyra-
mids of Egypt are nothing compared

Barley.

There are 100000 bushels of barley
imported into the United States every
year. AS the successful cultivation Of
barley is only possible with good farm
ug the reason of this large importation
must lie with our poor farming. It is
both spring and winter grain, but in
Ihis country it is generally sown in the
spring, In selecting seed choose that
which is of pale, lively yellow, intermix-
ed with bright, whitish cast, and free
from blackness at the tail if the rind be
q little shriveled it indicates thin skin,
which is desirable. 1t is necessary to
change the seed from time to time for
that grown in different soil, as this
grain becomes coarser every year. The
principal varieties are the two and six
roWed; in Europe the latter is preferred
for its productiveness and hardness. In
this country the two-rowed is generally
cultivated on account Of its superior full.
ness and freedom from smut. Of the
subvarieties the Hudson's Bay is very
productiv and ripens early; the Cheva-
der and Providence are both luxuriant
growers. The soil for barley should be

clay and well drained Sow in the spring

fall /; it may also follow a.well manured
and Clearly herd crop. If sown on sod
pillow in lightly, and afterward harrow or
roll. See that the soil be well pulverized,
and SOW from one and a half to two and
a half bushels per acre. Barley should
never follow or precede the other white
grains. A lengthy departure from this
rule will cause serious detriment to soil
and crops. On Indifferent soils a light
dressing of compost may be applied, or
in moderate quantity after the plants
have commenced growing in the spring,
If the ground is dry and not compact
rolling will be of service when the plants
are four or five inches high. 1t gives
support to the roots, destroys insects,
multiplies seed stalks and increases their
vigor. When too luxuriant barley may
be fed off, but not too closely. Cookie,
wild mustard and other weeds should
be pulled before they are in blossom
Barley is inferior in nutriment to wheat
and rye, but superior to oats. There is
no better feed for horses; when ground,
it is excellent feed for cows, producing
rich milk. When barley is mixed with
boiled potatoes and fed to pigs it pro-
duces more pork, and of better flavor,
than any other food. 1t is also excel
lent for poultry.

Becoming and UIoeesallng.

To lovers of the beautiful, it is really
trying to observe how few women under
stand the method of arranging the hair
in a way most becoming to them. No
woman should follow a fashion which is
unsuited to her simply because it is the
fashion. Let every woman study her
face before she dresses her hair, as she
studies her hand before she buys her
gloves. IF she finds her forehead mar
rowing above the cheek-bone, let her
never fail to insert pads in her hair at,
the side. If it be 3 broad forehead, while
her face is narrow, let her avoid this
style rightly whatever be the fashion
If her forehead be ill-shaped, let her Gull
tivate fringe )" if she possesses a fine
brow, she should not so disguise it. II
her head be slightly fiat, a coronet of
plaits, or the hair turned over cushion,
are the only alternatives but if natural
ly too high, let her dispense elsewhere
the fullness of hair. And should the
head be perfect in shape, let her dress
the hair as plainly as possible, and make
a point of showing a charm that is ex-
ceedingly rare. 1t would be simply waste
and ruin to pad it into all sorts of shapes.
In wearing false hair, great judgment
should be exercised. As much should
be used as looks natural, and no more.
Great cables of hair, and masses of ring
lets, are not natural, and therefore, weary
the eye, while nobody is imposed upon
by them.

The Heart.

Throb, throb, throb. Never sleeping.
but often tired, loaded with care. chilled
by despair, bleeding with wounds, often
inflicted by those who do not understand
it, or burdened with affection, it must
beat on for lifetime. Nothing finds a
lodgment in its chambers that does not
add to its labors. Every thought that
the mind generates steps upon the heart
before it wings its way into the outer
world. The memory of the dead loved
ones are mountains of weight upon its
sensitiveness; the anxieties of the soul
stream to the heart and bank themselves
upon it, as the early snow drifts cover
the tender plant; love, if it loves, fires
it with feverish warmth, and makes it
the more sensitive; hate, if it hates heats
it to desperation and fills it with con-
ficts. Still it works on. When slum-
Der closes the eye-lids, the heart is beat
ing-beating beneath all its burdens; it
works while We sleep; it works while
we play; it aches when we laugh. Do
not unnecessarily wound it do not add
to its bleeding wounds. Speak a kind
word to cheer it; warm it when it is
cold; encourage it when it despairs.-
Good Words.

When the curtain rises on the third act

smugglers, although energetically prod

efforts compatible with the stage decorum
made to awaken him. Finding their en- /.

noise of the proxlmate chorus would

course, laughed loudly, and the smugglers,
gathering round the PROSTATE producer of
these stupendous sounds, belabored him
to such purpose that Carmen herself
pleaded that some mercy might be shown
him. Finally, he was dragged off into

, IF YOU LOVE ME.
BY lucia CLARK.

If you love me, tell n not,
Let me read it in your thought;
Let me feel it in the way
That you say me yea and nay;
Let me see it in your eye
When you greet or pass me by;
Let me hear it in the tone
Meant for me aDG. ne alone.
lfyOu love me, there will be
Something only shall see;
Meet or miss, stay or go,
Ifyou love me. shall know.
Something in your tone will tell,
Dear, love you, love you well;'
Something in your eyes will shine
Fairer than they look in mine.
In your mein some touch of grace,
Some swift smile upon your face
While you speak not, will betray
What your lips could scarcely say.
In your speech some silver word,
Tuning into sweet accord
All your bluntness will reveal
Unaware the love you feel.
If you love me, then, pray,
Tell me not, but, day by day,
Let love silent on me rise,
Like the sun in summer skies.
