as they are pitched down. The air in the
upper part Of a high building is much
dryer than that near the ground, and on
that account orkers in wood often place
their material under the ceilings of their
stables so it will become more thoroughly
seasoned. If a farmer has limited barn
room, but large house, portion of
which is unfinished, he cannot put that
portion to a better use than that of stor-
ing farming Implements They require
and should receive as good care as most
articles that are usually kept in a dwell
ing. Almost as much pains is now taken
in finishing and ornamenting machines
used in the fields as in decorating house
hold furniture. and the cost of the former
is much greater than that of the latter.
II farmers would take better care of the
implements they use in the fields they
would be able to furnish their houses
much better than most of them do. No
other class Of Workmcn are so careless in
the use OF their tools as farmers. \ me-
chanic who would allow his implements to
remain unprotected when not in use as a
farmer does his would be ruined the first
season he engaged i'm business.

The scene OF the surrender has long
been much-neglectcd spot. Yorktown
is not reached by railway, and is OIL the
line OF progress. Some day it may revive
its old-tjme prosperity: at least it ought
to become more accessible as a point for
future pilgrimage, Before the Revolu-
ton the town was quite an emporium, the
only port from which the Virginia plant
ers shipped their tobacco to England.
Baltimore and Norfolk gradually reduced
it by competition. Some two centuries
or more ago We first heard Of it us one of
the few oUtpoStS OF forts in the colony. In
l123 it was the center Of 4 thriving
county an Episcopal parish of sixty com
municants, with a church. Williamsburg,
the capital, with its House Of BurgeSSes
and growing colleges, attracting thither
the wisdom and fashion of the Dominion.
WAS scarce a dozen miles away. Until
CornWallis stationed himself there, York
town had escaped the rayages of war on
the Virginia coast, and after its surrender
it still contained about seventy houses,
not more than two or three having been
wholly destroyed. = Fifteen years later it
had not extended its limits. and we find
its population, more than half of which
was composed of negroes, numbering
about 500 souls. The last war, it need
hardly be said left it in d depressed CON
dition, almost beyond recovery, and to-
day it contains not mere than 300 inhab-
itants, among whom are to be found but
few descendants of the ancient proprietors
In fact, it seems to be the lot of Yorktown
that the more it becomes historical spot
the less it becomes anything else. Harp

The Small Boys Explanation

1t was Sunday evening. Angelica had
invited her best young man to the even
ing meal. Everything had passed off
harmoniously until Angelica's sevenyears
old brother broke the blisstul silence by
eXclaiming.
'Oh, ma yer ought to seen MIR. Light

Angie to the drill, he looked 50 nice sit

And the boy was permitted to return,

The Induction balance used to discover
the location Of the bullet in the Presidents
body, consists of two coils OF insulated
wire, connected with battery, and fitted
with an interrupter or circuit breaker in
the form Of a vibrating tongue, which emits
musical tone. These coils are so bal
anced that the lnterrupter is motionless
and silent but it is very sensitive to the
approach of metal, and a piece of lead
within four or five inches of the coils will
elicit Il faint note. which is conveyed to

no means recovered all we shot. Out of
fourteen we took in but eight, but we
learned ashore that this was a very good
proportion. Vt three o'clock we knocked
off work and turned homGward, followed
by man in a dory with six or eight
prizes aboard. With anxious hearts lest
our scores should have been beaten we
went aboard the yacht whittier the other
parties had already returned, summoned
home by the pangs of hunger. Their
game was hung from the main boom,
each with dripping pan under him to
catch his blood Said game for two boats
consisting of three seal. We then led our
friends to the side and drawing off the
canvas with which the corpses had been
decently covered exhibited to their en-
ylous eyes our eight prizes. After dinner
we divided into two parties, one going to
the ledge tried by us the night before.
While the other went to a new one, for
the knowledge OF the whereabouts of
which we were indebted to "'Lish.' We
followed his instructions and found that
they We're sound. AS soon as a seal had
got comfortably settled high and dry on
the ledges he was shot or shot at. In two
hours one party bagged nine and the
other ten, making 4 grand total for the
days work Of thirty seal. The men took
the pelts off roughly, and tomorrow they
will be handed over to the Indians at
Mount Desert to be properly dressed
Next morning returned my rifle to its
owner. He was as pleased as a child to
hear Of its good shooting, returned me
my deposit, and, to my surprise, refused
to take cent for the hire of it. Amiabe
rustic, large hearted IIepzibah Coleman,
may your shadow never grow less. May
it rather flourish till next year, when |
will come again and borrow your rifle Of

Notes on Killing Weeds.

Grass and weeds Of every description
growing in gravel walks may be eXtermi-
mated the most eXpeditiously and cheaply
by the application of common salt in lib
elal quantities If one dose is not sut1i-
cient apply a second. Two applications
Of salt viii not only kill the weeds now
growing, but will prevent their springing
up next season. \ barrel OF salt, costing
but trihe over a dollar. will destroy
more weeds in a gravel walk than a man
can kill in the COURSE Of week \ gravel
walk entirely free from weeds is highly
ornamental as we'll as useful but its value
and beauty are both destroyed by the
presence Of weeds and grass, Plantain
is most ettectually eradicated by pulling
it up with the hands after a heavy rain.
1t may also he destroyed by running
sharp spade an inch or two below the
surface OF the ground. TO destroy bur
docks and mullen it is advisable to cut
the stalks two or three inches below the
surface and to drop a handful Of salt on
the portion Of the root that remains in the
