good education, and when | am called
away shall leave them enough to keep

which received only the same amount
of labor used on one.
g One COW, horse, mule, sheep or
hog well fed is more profitable than two

Chicago Hospitality,

Mr.. Wendell Phillips, says the Boston
courier, in talking the other day upon
the truth and falsity of history, says:
San amusing incident occurred to me
once, showing the way in which truth
may spoil good history, Years ago,
when ! spoke nj the opera-housc in Chi
cago upon slavery, the crowd became
very much excited and threw various
unsavory missiles at the stage and
speakers. Fortunately nobody was
hurt, or, 50 far as | remember, hit, but
the drop-curtain was heavily slreaked
and discoored so as to be fairly ruined.
Some time ago, | met western man
who recalled the circumstance, and he
told me that the owner of the opera
house had, through all these years, kept
that curtain as testimony against the
people, refusing to have it changed.
Now there, you see, was II beautiful in
cidcnt, and | thought of using it in one
of my lectures, but | very foolishly took
the precaution TO inquire about the
truth of it, and | found that in reality
the curtain was replaced the very day
after it was spoiled

Resolving Whore Grass Seed Failed.

Many inquiries are made this year
how to treat the land where the grass
seed has failed to GROW. Half of my
seeding on wheat last year was almost
a failure. To plow up and raise anoth-
or crop Of grain is ont of the question.
We cannot have the regular rotation of
crops through our fields deranged,
without the most serious Inconvenience.
And the partial loss of n crop of grass
for three or four years hat is, till the
next corn crop--would be greater than
the loss Of our crop of wheat would have
been. I propose, therefore, TO rc-seed.
AS early in the spring AS land can be
narrowed, | shall sow clover and timo-
thy literally, and harrow repeatedly
with sharp harrow, and make at the
same time very liberal application of
plaster and some other commercial fer
tilizer. suppose there is no danger of
overestmating the importance of Sc
curing good crop OF grass on that
land, for three or four years, and | sup
pose that it can be confidently expect
ed, at an expense greatly less than the
value of the grass. This value is not
limited to its worth as forage, but it in
cludes its suppression of weeds and its
contribution to the fertility of the soil.
] shall spare no reasonable cost to
avoid the sight of "a naked piece OF
land.

Pan for Deadening Pain.

The last number of the Medical
Record contains new and curious
method of deadening pain discovered
by DR.. Bonwill n dentist of Philadelphia.
The operator merely requests the patient
to breathe rapidly, making about 100
respirations per minute, ending rapid
putting expiration, AT the end of from
two to five minutes, an entire or partial
absence ofpain results for half a minute
or more; during that time teeth may
be drawn or missions made. The
patient may be in any position, but that
recommended is lying on the side, and it
is generally best to throw II handker-
chief over the face to prevent distraction
of the patients attention.

nouncement that the government of
Schaffhausen are about to propose TO
the great council of the canton the sale
of the famous Schaifhausen onyx, for
which a rich collector has offered a
large sum. The onyx, being part of

regarded as national trophy. 1t is,
moreover, gem Of great size and ex-
traordinary beauty, superbly set, and
of Greek or Roman origin. An ener-
