The deserted Mill.
Drip. drip. drlp.

The eager flow is still,
And only drops of water fall
Beneath tue unused mill.
All moldy are the bags of meal,
And moss is grown upon the wheel,
So silent and 80 still.
Drip, drip, drip,
Upon the fruitful fern;
Tho silent timbcrs of the wheel
Are powcrless to turn,
And where 4 blade OF grass is seen,
The gaping joints it grows between,
Parted, will not return.
Drip, drip, drip,
Into the stagnant pool
Where glldes the spotted water snake,
Among the crosses cool,
And, silent in his coat of mail,
All Shiny creep the cautious snail
Upon the window stool.
DRIP, drip, drip,
Upon the oaken floor,
And broken from its rusty lock,
Hangs, silently, the door,
Save, when a gust of wind goes past,
It groans upon one hinge still fast,
Then silent as before.
Drip, drip, drip,
Upon the rotten deal,
Between the timbcrs in the roof
The shadows softly steal;
And from a corner Of the house
Slyly peeps forth the cunning mouse
That eats the moldy meal.
Drip, drip, drip,
Upon tho wcll-worn stone,
While bluetiics .. the window buzz,
Monosonous in tons.
No more the miller Srinds his corn,
For lie, good man, is dead and gone,
The mill is Lev alone.

Rom Pruning.

The experiments were made On the
apple and pear. An apple tree eight or
ten years old, which had scarcely made
any fruit buds, had done best when
about half the roots were cut in n sea-
sou and half three years later, by going
half way around Oh opposite sides in
one year and finish at the next pruning,
working two feet underneath to sever
downward roots. 1t has always an
swered we'll, also, to cut on such trees
all the larger and longer roots about
two and a half feet from the stem, leav-
ing the smaller and weaker ones longer
and going half way around, as already
stated. The operation was repeated
three or fous years later by extending
the cut circle q foot or two further away
from the tree. By this operation n
productive fruit trees became com
pletely studded with fruit spurs and
afterward bore ~profusely. This short
ening of the roots has been continued
in these experiments for twenty years
with much success, the circle of r. OTIS
remaining greatly circumscribed. The
best time for the work has been found
to be in the latter part of August and
beginning of September, when growth
has nearly ceased and while the leaves
are yet on the trees. causing greater in
crease of bloom buds the following year
than when performed after the leaves
have fallen. London Garden.

croix, the distinguished painter, to sit
for him as the model of q beggar, as
much by the way of q joke as because
of his capacity for excellently assuming
the appearance of q mendicant. While
he was thus disguised one day in the

friends and disciples entered, and was
so completely deceived by the models

out he stealthi}y pressed a coin into the
old mans hand. Rothschild greatly
enjoyed his success in his assumed
character, and took the money; but he
afterward made inquiry concerning the
young man, and learning that he was in
needy circumstances and eking out an
existence by teaching, became a very
useful friend to him and the source OF
substantial p%ecuniary aid.

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Paralysis In Pigs,

Pigs are subject to q weakness of the
spine by which the nerves controlling
the movements of the hind limbs are
paralyzed. This is often constitutional,
and arises from breeding pigs so de-
fective. When Young sucking pigs are
affected in this way it no doubt comes
in this manner. The treatment is to
apply O counter-irritant to the loins,
snch as tu%rpentine,r rubbed freely upon
the back; apply once q day and give the
pigs a teaspoonful of powdered ros;z in
the food for each two or three, once a
day for a week. Pigs so affected should
never be used for breeding.

rhe Mint Investig.tion.

San Francisco, July 27.-In the mint
investigation to-day, Alexander Mar
tin, melter and refiner, when placed on
the stand, testified that the Northern
Belle bullion was sometimes fit for
coming and sometimes otherwise; the
coiner had frequently complained OF it.
When found unfit it was returned. If
proper deductions had been made, the
great losses of 1880 would have been
avoided.
The question Of admitting evidence
regarding the previous administration
of the mint was argued at length, and
decided in the affirmative, the counsel
for Dodge claiming that it would dis
prove leading charge of the page, that
Dodge had received low grade bullion
from the Anglo Californian bank with
out making proper deductions, by ar
rangement with the president of that
bank.
Witness continued saying that the
Northern Belle and similar low grade
bullion had been received during the
previous administration, and that he
had received no special instructions
from Dodge relative to Northern Belle
bullion but what were dispersed over all
low grade bullion received. Knew Of
nothing leading him to believe that
favoritism had been shown the Anglo
Californian bank.
On cross examination witness testi-
fed that there was nothing secret in
the fact Of losses being sustained on
low grade bullion. The losses Of 1880
were about two thirds Of the legal al
lowance for wastage; the earnings Of
the refinery department for that year
more than covered the losses.
