Spiridon Gopevich, in his amusing
book upon Upper Albania, accounts for
the dilapidated state of Scutari Castle
by the following narrative, the anthem
ITCHY OF which he guarantees: In the
spring of 1874 the Vail Scutari happened
to hear that hundred years or so ago
Giaour named franklin had invented
an instrument by the judicious use of
which lightning strokes might be rem
dered harmless 10 human life and prop
erty. Forthwith he resolved to be pos
sessed of one of those wonder-working
contrivances, but, upon inquiring its
price, he found that the resources of
his exchequer would not avail to defray
the cost OF a complete apparatus. He
therefore ordered from abroad the SUI
perfcial portion of lightning conduct
or, deeming its subterranean compile
ment of wires superfluous, and when it
arrived caused it to be set up exactly
over the powder magazine of the castle,
in order to insure perfect immunity
from electrical dangers to the explosive
contents of that repository. An I'M
usually long spell of fine weather sue
ceeded the erection of the instrument,
much to His Excellency's vexation but
at length, one sultry day, heavy clouds
gathered rapidly over Scutari, and the
exultant Vail, fortunately for himself,
hurried down the citadel to the town i'm
order to watch the effect of the first
flash from window of his seral. COM
handing a fine view of the lightning
conductor. He had not long to wait
for coup that surpassed his widest
expectations. A fiery streak darted
from the sky, followed by tremendous
conclusion, and when the smoke cleared
off it was the Pasha's melancholy privi-
lege to behold his beloved citadel in
ruins. The Wallis modification may be
better imagined than described, espe-
cially when it reached his ears that a
leading notable of Scutari, commenting
upon the result of his scientific expert
ments, had observed: ''God is Great
and the Vail is an ass He has swal-
lowed the Giaour's dirt. and paid them
for it to boot. His face is blackened
forever. Allah's will be done!"

-"Can't hurry Nature, can't wep
We'll, we can, then, and we do. 1t is
true you can't make . hen set before
she is ready, but there is an artificial
hatchery on the Hudson River that dis
counts all the hens in America getting
pullets for the market, and matches out
IA chicks before the natural hen in the
nearest barn-yard can get a nest
scratched into shape to suit her fastidi-
Gus taste. And we hustle Nature with

Wood Ticks.

VI these large number attack men
and animals. The most common is the
cattle tick (Leodis bovis, Lzodis Ameri-
cana), which is so constantly found on
the hides of Southern cattle, and has
gained certain notoriety in connection
with its alleged causation of the Texas
fever. These are oval, eight-legged in
sects, furnished with barbed probos-
els, which they sink into the skin and
suck the blood until distended to reple-
ton and increased to many times their
former size. In this condition thev
withdraw their proboscis, drop off on
the soil and sleep off their gluttonous
condition. When once more hungry
and shrunken they climb on the stalks
OF grasses and bushes by the cattle
tracks and attach themselves to the first
animal that passes, to once more gorge
and intoxicate themselves with blood.
1t is difficult to deal with this parasite.
since, when an attempt is made to pick
them from the skin the body will come
IN pieces sooner than the barbed pro-
boscis will come out. II smeared with
any oily agent, however. they are stu
pefied for lack of air and quickly let
go their hold. so that q beast may be
cleaned if first well oiled. Benzine also
is promptly destructive to them. For
animals that pasture in wild. bushy
ground. an Injunction of all containing
a little tar would prove a sufficient pro-
lection. A more permanent one would
be the clearing of the land and the cul-
tivation OF it for series of years.

Broad Tires for Farm. Wagons.

1t was formerly the custom in some
parts OF Massachusetts-end possibly is
so still-to remit the toll on farm wap-
ons having a certain width of tire. The
theory was that they mended rather
than married the road bed, and hence it
was good policy to encourage the use
of broad-tired wheels for heavy lumber
wagons. The same principle is recog-
nized in England, where the rate Of
tolls is less for wagons with broad
wheels than for those with narrow
ones. The roads in this country ere
generally so poor that it would be well
if the use of broad tires could become
more common. The reasons in favor
of them are thus stated by the Ameri-
can CulttUGt0r:
In our opinion tires three and half
inches in width would prove of easier
draft than those measuring but two
inches wide. OF course the load is no
heavier With the use of the wide tire,
and it is distributed over a surface of
three and half inches in place of two
inches. The resistance would be about
the same in both cases, though in the
case of the wide tire distributed over
nearly double the surface. The de-
preston caused by the broad tires
would not exceed one-half that caused
by the narrow ones. This cutting made
by the narrow tires increases the draft
to an extent far beyond the common es-
innate As the cutting up of the roads
is lessened through the use of broad
tires. the cost of their maintenance is
considerably diminished.
For farm purposes broad tires are de-
cidedly preferable to narrow wheels.
No one cares to have his grass lands cut
up by wheels if it can be avoided, an
injury which is less likely to be inflict-
ed by broad than by narrow wheels. A
team supplied with the broad tires will
draw load of manure with far greater
ease over fallow ground than that with
the narrow tires. by reason of the di-
minished amount Of cutting in the
ground.

A South American Earthquake.

Here, as in other South American
towns, the inhabitants are slow to re-
build after earthquakes. Owing to the
peculiar situation ofArica, in blight on
the coast. the volcanic waves coming
from the North and from the South met
here in 1868 in sort of confluence,
sweeping everything before them. One
OF the principal sufferers at the time was
the late United States Consul, Mr.. w.
IL. Nugent,, who gave the following ac-
count of some of the Incidents:
g Il had hardly time," said he, % to
get my wife and children into the street,
when the whole of the walls of my house
fell. Fell is hardly the word to use, for
they were blown out as if they had been
spat at me. At the same time the earth
opened, probably two or three inches,
and belched out dust, accompanied with
a terrible stencil, as of powder. The
air became darkened. and l could not
see my wife, who was within two feet
of me, with the children. Ii this had
lasted any time, so to speak, we must
have suffocated, but in a couple of min
utes it cleared off. Collectil Q my
household together we started for the
hills. How we passed through falling
houses, where we saw men struck down
some stone-dead, others maimed--is
to me mystery, but a merciful PrOvi-
dence was over u.s. We wendell our
sad way as well as we could towards the
hills, with earth shaking. making us
stagger like drunken people--when a
great cry went up to Heaven from all
the town, The sea has retiredp | hur-
ried on, but before / got to the outskirts
| looked back, and saw all the vessels
in the bay carried out. irresistibly to
sea, probably with speed of ten miles
an hour. In few moments the great
outer current stopped. Then arose a
mighty wave-I should Judge about fifty
feet high-which swept in with a re-
sistless rush. carrying everything with
it in its awful majesty. 1t brought back
all of the shipping-some of the latter
turning in circles, but She whole speed
ing on to an inevitable doom. Mean
while the wave had passed in. crushed
the mole into atoms, swallowed up my
Office at a bite, in its great mouth,
gulped down the custom house and,
rushing along the same street, carried
everything. before it in its irresistible
force. All this was done quicker than
the changes in Christmas pantomime.
The United States steamer Wateree,
being high-draft vessel, was taken up
on the top of the wave and landed
nearly mile inland. Since this occur
renee another tidal-wave has changed
her position considerably, so that now
she lies within quarter of mile of the
beach. The United States storeship
Fredonia was turned bottom upwards,
and every soul on board lost. The Cap
tain, Surgeon and Paymaster happened
to be out of the ship and were saved.
The Peruvian man. of-war America lost
about eighty-five souls. Scarcely ship
in the harbor escaped"
Listening to these tales does not i'm
press one with the desirability of africa
as a permanent abiding place, and even
the casual visitor is usually content to
continue his journeyings after a few
hours spent in this vicinity. -Arica Cor.

weeds are grown. 1t is the same with
root crops. And there is no excuse for
this. Put the rows farther apart and
cultivation can be continued late enough
TO prevent weeds from ripening, and if
the cultivation-stirring the surface soil
be frequent and regular, and begun
before any weeds see the light, dating
from the time of blowing, little or no
foul stuff will make its appearance.
This is laying out more labor than usual,
save with few careful and successful
farmers, yet it pays in the increased
yield of the cultivated crop, to say
nothing of the Improvement of the land.
But the fallow is the best means for
successfully clearing the land, working
the soil often enough to prevent any
plants from seeing the light. An OBJ
lection to this mode is the loss of fer
tility from exposure to the heat of the
sun, especially in valleys and land in
clined TO the south, and worse in sandy
than in clay soil. In such case the land
should be protected by a crop shading
the ground. The pea is excellent for
this, even on poor soil, if plaster is used
where plaster has its effect, as it shades
the ground and affords rich mass to
turn under. which should be done when
in blossom. Or buckwheat may be SUBJ
stituted. Each shades the ground so
that not q weed or a grass blade will
appear. But the work wants to be done
well, the entire surface made mellow.
and all covered by the crop. the growth
being the better for the pains taken.
The enrichment and mellowing of the
soil which are thus secured are worth
more than the profit (net) of a crop
grown for the grain. Besides, the land
needs the fertility which crop of grain
would remove; this to start we'll the
forage crop, for all must admit the i'm
portance of agood start in seeding down
land. Sow the enriching crop early in
the spring, so that no foul stuff gets q
chance to appear before the ground is
shaded. The crop turned down when
in blossom, pillow again when the mass
is rotted, using cultivator and harrow
as necessary after that keeping thus
