Singular Freak Of an Engine.

An accident occurred on a local
railroad in Illinois. that is probably
without a parallel in the history OF
railroading. As a train on the even
ing of that day was near Giassford,
going at the speed OF nearly forty
miles an hour, a cow suddenly
bounded in front of the engine.
There was no warning whatever, the
front of the engine passed over the
animal, and in doing 50 was lifted
clear of the rails uncoupled the ten
der. Going at such a high rate Of
speed, it continued some twenty
yards on the ground, tearing it up
and even uprooting a stump in its
mad career, and, what's very strange
kept on it's wheels until it came to a
stand still, where it stood clear of the
main track. The remainde: Of the
engine and train kept on the track,
and passed the engine about aquar-
ter of a mile, when it was brought to
a stop with brakes. The jar of the
engine was 80 light that but few pas
senge1s was made aware of the acci-
dent until told. The engineer sat on
his seat throughout the affair, a mere
spectator of the quer freak of his an
CINE, and no one was hurt or even
scared.

Reading With Thinking.

We quite understand the ambi-
ton of men engaged in intellectual
pursuit to keep up with the worlds
thought But it is this effort that
fills all the professions with cram
med men, and leaves them scant of
thinkers. Bailing the ocean with a
dipper is a work for those only who
do not realize the shortness of the
time and greatness Of the task.
There is so little ultimate truth in
the world; Science is pulling up her
stakes and setting them forward
SO frequently; religion herself is
changing her lines SO much On every
thing save a few great facts, hat not
Il ilf SO much would be lost, as the
average student now pressed and
puzzled on all sides would think, if
Pie should intermit his battling pur-
suit Of knowledge for a few years,
and go to using what wisdom he hae.
The daily press will keep a MIN from
getting rusty. A few Of the old clas-
sics-including first the chief classic
of all, the Bible-will give him food
and stimulant enough; and nature
aud his own heart will give him the
best themes and thoughts.

Showing How Grapes Feed.

We had planted a row of Daleware
vines, one Of which was placed about
three feet from the hole in which a
quantity Of bones had been buried.
The vines all made a healthy growth,
but the one referred to was specially
vigorous. This however, was attri-
buted to its general vigor, and not
t. special influence, hav ng forgotttn
all about the buried bones. But one
day, after digging near this hole, we
noticed that our healthy, vigorous
vine was willing as if it had been
pulled up by the roots and exposed
to a hot sun. Unable to account 70.
this strange circumstance, and sus.
pecting some new enemy, we dug ii
up, carefully following all the roots
to their extremity.
To ouf surprise, however, there was
only one.root Of any consequence,
and this led directly to the aforesaid
hole. Following it up, we came te
where we had cut it, and there tax
ing up the severed end, and follow
ing that, we found that the pit tull
of bones was one mass Of roots. il
was evident, therefore, tlat wher
first set out, one Of the roots had
pushed off in the direction of the
bones, and on reaching them hae
found such a supply OF hutrl
ment that it alone was competent tt
carry to the vine all the food wanted
The other roots, therefore, dwindlec
away, or, at least. made but a triHlnG
growth, and the vine, depending
wholly upon the single root JUS
described, persisted when it was GU
of.
We may add that the root was al
most tare Of fbrils, or branches, II
its course from the vines to the bones
but once there, it divided ane
branched i'll every direction, running
int the interior Of the hollow bones
and claspiug both internal and exfer
nal surface with a perfect network o
| fbrils. To us it showed severa
points. Bones r evidently n o
| the best manures for the vine, and "
we wish them to last for years, they
need not be broken up. As it IL
well to have the roots of the vine
spread over a considerable space
bones for other very rich manufs
should not be placed in holes, bu.
distributed through the soil,-Co'm

RaiSia- Making in America

The raisin crop ofCalifornathi year
amounts to about 600 tons, or 10000
boxes of twenty pounds each, which,
produced at 81 per box, will sell at
wholesale at $3.50 per box. Though
the business is new, an improvement
has been introduced superior to the
Spanish method, where in drying, the
grapes are placed on the ground and
every bunch turned over separately.
The California plan is to place them
on a cheap wooden tray on the
ground. When they are to be turn
ed, two men come along with an ex-
ira tray, put it over the first, thus
holding the punches in their places
and lifting up the two trays together,
turn them over and put the. under
tray down in the same spot. The
upper tray is then taken of, and thus
they go through the vinegar !, turn
ing every grape at a small expendi-
ture of time and labor. Some ex-
periments are to be made in grating
ON the wild California vine, which,
it is supposed, will be secure against
the %phylloxeras. Some progress has
been made by the disease in a few
districts north Of San Pueblo bay,
and the only step taken to arrest it
has been to dig up and burn the dis
eased vines from some hundred
acres. 1t has not made its appear

A MODERN WONNER.
A Chicken with IT'S Head Cut or Alive
and Well.

Isaac Hileman, OF Mclean county,
Illinois, is in Cincinnati exhibiting a
rooster whose head was cut off about
four months ago. The chicken is
alive and we'll, and is fed through
the aperture of the throat Follow
ing is an account by the Cincinnati
Enquirer Of last Saturday:
Hileman, who has the rooster in
his care, relates the following history
Of it: 1t is a black brahma, about a
year and a half old. 1t was raised by
Bart Honston, rear Joplin, Henry
county, 10. On the Goth of March
last he went out into the yard to
catch a chicken to kill for dinner.
This rooster was selected. 1t was caught
by Mr.. Hohston, who laid its neck Oh
a block, cut off its head with a hatch
ct, and threw the body on the ground
to bleed. The chicken 1uttered
around for an instant and then get
ting upon its feet, a under the barn.
1t could not be reached, and suppos-
ing it would lie there and be eaten
by the rats, another chicken was
ought and killed in place Of it.
Nothing further Was thought Of the
chicken under the barn until two
daya later when Mr.. Houston and
his family Wore startled to see the
headless rooster wandering around
in the yard. The neck where the
head lad been severed from it by the
stroke IF the Ratchet was still bloody.
Tne chicken was of course blind. 1t
was Kicked up and found to be strong
and lively. The aperture of the
throat was visible after the blood and
feathers had been removed, and some
soft foud was inserted. By introduce
ing the food about half an inch into
the throat, the chicken was enabled
to swallow it. He was given about
as much food and drink as chickens
usually require, and would have taxi
en- more. After that lie VAS fed reg
ularly and tended with great care.
Five days later it was purchased by
Nathan More, u gentleman living in
the northern part Of Eenry county,
who recently sold it to Isaac Hile-
man, or to persons whom he repre-
sents, who brought it to this city.
Hileman says that when the chicken
made its appearance from under the
barn, minus its he'd, that member
was then huutei up aud preserved

Be'contented, my son. You need
not be dissatisfied with what you are /;
you don't want to live without ambi-
ton so long as you live, strive to be
something better, and higher and
stronger tomorrow than you are to-
day, but don't worry 4; don't fret.
Wear your ready-made clothes with
the air Of a Prince. until you a do
batter; eat your twenty-five cent
dinner with the manne of a man
who ia accustomed ofare sumptuous-
ly every day on course dinners, and
like this sort of thing for a change
Keep the sunshine in your heart and
it will shine out of your face. The
world is always grateful to a sunny
tempered man, just because he is
good enough and gracious enough to
live in it. Laugh, my son, if Your
stomach is SC empty that you can not
tell whether your pain is in yourliver OR
your back bone; wearyour hat jauntily
i'it is 80 full ofholes that you can't see
the grease and weather stains that
cover il; speak cheerily, though you
have to wear your over.coat every
time your shirt gees to the laundry.
1t won't BE- SO easy a thing to do right
along; the days will come when e
good Indulgence in the "blues
would seem like paradise there will
be hours when you would rather swear
than laugh, when you would rather
growl aid wall than look pleasant;
there will be times when, in spite OF
your strength. and manhood and
6 'od resolutions, you will 60 away by
yourselfand groan and bury your face
in your hand sand cry like agirl; know
it, son. But don't make a habit of it,
and don't let any one see you do it.
1t is a d angerous luxury, and should
ouly be 5ndulged in at very long in
t~ervals and on rare occasions. Cul-
tivate contentment; if you have no
gloves, put your hands in your pock-
cts; if your coat is out at the elbows
back against the fence if you have
no hat, you will eve become bald
And when prosperity comes-not il
bat when-you will be prouder o.
your good nature in the dark days
Of adversely, my son, than you can
be of your honors, and all the fame
and position that prosperity and..suc-
cess can bring you. Never worry,
son, d,n't fret it will make you
thin and your hair turn gray.
