JOHN STEELE, the "COal Gil Johnny"
whose astounding prodigality made him
notorious throughout the country, is
now a well-behaved and reasonably
prosperous farmer at Franklin, Pa. 1t
was in 1864, when he was 81, that the
striking of oil on farm that he had i'll
hcrited began to yield him an income OF
$1,000 a day. This wealth turned his
foolish head, and he began to spend the
money in the most reckless and gro
tesgue manner. He squandered all his
property in three years. His wife had
managed to get hold of S75, 900, but that
was lost in a bank failure. Steele grad
ually came to his senses, went to work
at his old tioncocnpa of a teamster. next
became a railroad baggage master, and
slowly saved enough money to buy the
farm on which he now lives.

ACVRE FOR CIT LIP.

Ants fight with the utmost fury. So
deadly is their grip that frequently the
whole abdomen of the enemy is torn
away; and vet, though little more than
an Infatuated head and legs, she still
keeps up the fight. Sir John Lubbock
states that he has frequently found an
enemy's head hanging on to the legs of
living ant, who, through the tenacity
OF the grip, is obliged to carry about
with her on the most festive occasions
this CHASTITY and inconvenient memento
of her victory. NJ. Mocqueys even
assures us that tine Indians of Brazil
Lake use of this tenacity in the case of
wounds, causing the ant to bite the
lips of the cut, and thus bring them TO-
gether, after which they cut off the ants
head, which thus holds the lips of the
wound together. He asserts that he has
often seen natives with wounds in course
of healing with the assistance of seven
or eight ants heads.

Mills for Marbles.

Almost all the "marbles with which
boys everywhere amuse themselves, in
season and out OF season, on sidewalks
and in shady spots, are made at Ober-
stein, Germany. There are large agate
quarries and mills in that neighborhood
and the refuse is turned to good account
in providing the small stone balls for
experts to "knu3kle" " with. The stone
is broken into small cubes, bY blows of
q light hammer. These small blocks of
stone are thrown by the shovelful into
the hopper of a small mill, formed OF a
bedstone, having its surface grooved
with concentrate furrows; above this is
the "runner," which is of some hard
wood, having level face on its lower
surface. The upper block is made to
revolve rapidly, water being delivered
upon the grooves of the bedstone where
the marbles are being rounded. 1t takes
about fifteen minutes to finish half q
bushel of good marbles, ready for the
boys knuckles.
One mill will turn out l69, 900 marble;
per week. The very hardest crackers,
as the boys call them, are made by /
slower process, somewhat analogous tt

to Violet of what had done.
The days passed, until one came and
brought Keath with it. We were both
in the hbrary-Violet and I-when the
door opened, and he entered unan-
nounced.
With a little cry Violet rose. He
stood for a moment and gazed at her,
looking in her black dress like pale,
sweet shadow OF her former self; then,
unable to control himself longer, he held
out his arms, while an expression of un-
utterable love and longing sprang into
his eyes.
"Violet, will you not come to me
nowP 1 know all, and that there is
nothing to part u.s."
And just as l discreetly vanished from
the scene saw Violet go slowly toward
him, and I knew that my interference
had brought the desired result.

Electric Freaks.

s. G. Dunham, f. lawyer of Hartford,
accompanied by the Rev. E. j. Lamb
and veteran guide, assembled Long
Peak, Col. just as the summit was
reached violent snow and ice-storm
enveloped the peak, and the cloud bear
ing the storm soon proved to be heavily
charged with electricity. The presence
of the fluid was discovered at the rude
m monument erected by Colonel Long and
his party when they explored the peak
in 1860. Under the lee of this pile OF
stones the party attempted to take shell
ter. They at once detected low sing
ing sound something like the buzzing
of an imprisoned insect. This rapidly
gathered in volume until It more re-
sembled fusillade of toJ ices. The
patty forsook this place, ana moved to
the open rock field. Ms. Dunham,
thinking he had discov cred through the
storm an avail able sh, tier, pointed it
out with his hand, which member be-
gan an exhibition similar to that seen at
the rocks. The fluid increased in activ-
ity. ..and Mr.. Lamb an6Mr. Dunham re-
ceiyed shocks which seemed to scorch
their ears and foreheads and singe their.
hair. They described the sensation as
similar to that which would be produced
by suddenly drawing heated wire tight
ly about the head just below the rim OF
the hat, accompanied by pricking OF the
head, shoulders, giddiness, nausea, and
display of blue, fickering flame. Mr..
Hubbell could distinctly see a blue light
playing about his head. During this
display, thunder unaccompanied by
visible lightning, was rumbling about
! the summit.

Rest and Repair.

1t may be safely assumed that those
have been mistaken who supposed that
rest consisted in inaction,
and that repair goes on during quies.
cence. Nutrition-and therefore repair
is the concomitant of exercise. Appe-
tite is one thing, the power of digesting
food another. A man may feelravenous,
and consume large quantities of mate
rial containing the elements of nutri-
ment, but be unable to appropriate the
supply furnished, or, in other words, to
nourish himself. 1t is SO with rest.
Mere inacton may be secured without
rest, and idleness without the restora-
tion of energy. The faculty of rec )very
and reeuperation after exercise is in di-
rect proportion to the vitality of the
organ rested. This faculty is not to be
called into action by inactivity. 1t fol-
lows that relief and recovery from the
effects of what is improperly called
"overwork" cannot be obtained by sim
ply going away for change, or by indul
gence in idleness. A new form of exer-
else is ne essary, and the mode of action
chosen must be one that supplies mod
crate exercise to the very part of the
system which is required to rest and
restore. Health seekers often err in
trying to recover their powers by simple
diversion of energy. 1t is popular
error to suppose that when the brain is
overworked the muscular system should
be exercised by way of counteraction
The part itself must be worked so as tx
stimulate the faculty of nutrition; bu
it should be set to fresh work, which
will incite the same powers to act in {
new direction.

Ned Kelly was the leader of a band of
outlaws in Australia. A large party of
mounted police surrounded the house
in which he had taken refuge. He sur
prised them by coolly walking out
among them. His head, chest, back and
sides were protected with heavy plates
of iron. Nine policemen joined in the
conflict and fired point blank at Kelly,
but, though many of the shots struck
him, he always recovered himself, and
tapping his breast, laughed derisively
at his opponents as he coolly returned
their fire. For half an hour the strange
combat was carried on. Then an officer
closed in on him and fired two shots
into his legs, and this brought the out
law down. When on the ground he
roared with savage ferocity, cursing tie

lMOMENTOUS MTTERS.

In England the cost of raising bushel
of wheat is in round figures $3.50.
From a number of records kept in Min
nesota and Kansas the average cost per
bushel, counting all material, labor and
interest on investment, was about forty
five cents per bushel Allowing iorty-
five cents for carrying the wheat to Eng
land. the cost would be ninety cents
delivered. Those figures are significant
and speak for themselves.

FARM AND HOME.
Farm and Garden Notes.

A pinch of cayenne, or red pepper
sprinkled over the exposed parts of cab
bage plants is sure death to the cabbage
worms.
A successful sheep raiser says that il
bell be put on one of the stoutest of
the flock it will protect the sheep from
dogs.
An English grape-grower stopped the
profuse bleeding of a thrifty young vine
by forming a sort of hard cement over
the cut ends by repeated dusting at
short intervals with Portland cement.
An Indiana farmer gathered old bones
and reduced them by placing them in
alternate layers with ashes, and the next
year used the mixture on a melon hill,
and raised the largest crop of melons he
ever saw.
Hogs ARE sometimes troubled by dis
ordered stomach. The best sntidote is
charcoal. Aside from ch arcoal, charred
corn cobs, or charred corn have lgood
effect.
There is nothing easier than to re-
move warts from cows teat. Pull a
hair out of the cows tail, tie it around
the neck of the wart as close to the teat
as you can get it. In a few days the
wart will drop off.
Potatoes, or any other root crops, may
be grown in a young orchard. 1t would
not do any injury to grow corn, but
grain crops should not be attempted.
T hey take from the soil the very ele-
ments which the trees require.
The Paris FEg1ro says: Do not waste
your orange peel, but make an incision
round it midway, and remove carefully
in two halves. Take the two cups and
place them hollow downward, one on
the grass and the other among the
plants or vegetables. At the end of a
few days you will be rid of all slugs,
black or gray. Every morning you
will find that they have taken refuge
under the cups of orange peel, and can
be destroyed.
To keep apples, ays the Germantown
telegraph, the fruit must be free from
bruise or blemish. The fruit must be
spread out on shelves or packed in bar =
rels, and kept in an atmosphere of from
forty to fifty degrees, b,tter from forty
to forty-fve-that is at temperature as
feauable as possible. Some cellars are
idst the th&mg, and preserve them beau
tifully; ot s are too moist. Where
this is the case few bushels of stone
lime should be used. Sliding shelves,
six inches apart, latticed bottom, with
a single layer of fir uit, are extremely
convenient, as they allow of constant
examination without disturbing the
fruit.

A Philadelphia dealer in terra alba
and other food adulterations sends out
circular in which he says: II desire
especially to call your attention to my
pepper stock and think, on comparing
it with pure pepper, you wi find it
fully equal in grit, quality and appear
anoe, hence requiring much smaller
proportion of pure red and black yep
per than in the use of cheaper stocks.
The latter have no grit "a distinctive
characteristic of ground pepper), and
very often contain SO much dust they
require large percentage of pure pep
per to bring them up to the proper
looking standard and condition" He
also has stocks for cloves and alls 5ice
which he recommends as the cheapest
mixtures in the mark et." A correspon-
dent of the New York Journal Of Com
merce asserts that single firm in the
upper end of Manhattan Island turns
out upward of thirty tons of terra alba
(Which is nothing less than raw gypsum
or plaster reduced to fine powder) each
week. Manifestly a national law on
the subject of food adulterations will be
one OF the necessities of the early
future.

1t yearly takes 100000 acres of forest
to supply cross-ties for the railroads of
the United States. 1t takes 100000
ties to supply the demand, for which on
an average the contractors get thirty-tive
cents apiece. making in the aggregate
$5, 1000. In building new road the
contractors figure on 1900 ties TO the
mile, while it takes 800 ties to the mile
to keep n constructed road in repair.
The average of good piece of timber
land is 200 ties to the acre and twelve
ties to the tree. White or burr oak is
considered the best timber for the pur-
pose, although cherry, maple. ash and
even locust have been used. The busi-
ness gives employment to an army OF
choppers, who are paid ten cents apiece
for each tie. A continued practice makes
the choppers expert in the use OF the ak,
and single man has been known to get
out thirty-fve ties in day, yet the
average is only ten, while an expert
will probably get out twenty.
