o,A Crash inYesemite.

Capt. Utter informsus that on Friday
of last week in the Yosemite Valley
detached rock of hugedimensions. some
eight feet thick, sixteel wide, and about
twenty feet long, whiih has stood ever
since the days of Noah's remarkable
flood as guard upon the outside of
Sentinel Rock, which Werhangs the val
ley opposite Leidig's btel, by some un-
known cause desertedits lofty position
and came laundering and crashing down
the precipice, carrying everything be-
fore 1t. In its descent it crossed Nc
Cauley's trail three or four times, cut
ting perfect swath through the trees,
until it struck giant pine, which, al
though it yielded, was sufficient to stop
its great force, and the huge bowlder
rested within two or three hundred yards
of McCauley's house and residence.
Had it not been for thelarge pine, which
the rock spent its force against, it is
quite probable that McCauley, with his
family, would have been crushed to death
without the least warning. The falling
of the rock and the terrible crash, smoke
and dust which lined its pathway at
tracted the attention Of quite a number
of inhabitants of the valley, many Of
whom Immediately visited the locality,
where it is said they found Me- auley APP
parently unconscious of the great dan
ger he had so miraculously escaped. He
said he heard the noise, but supposed il
was caused by large bodies of ice which
form on the waterfalls above and have
an occasional tumbling off into the val
ley below. McCauley is said to have
stated that at the moment the rock made
its rapid descent he was fondling those
twin. brother babies Of his, with one upor
each knee, and his attention was so alb
sorbed that he failed to notice the noise
and disturbance above more than usual

Culture of Cucumbers For Pickles.

The ground should be plowed once or
twice in the spring, and if sod land it
should be turned over the previous fall.
After the middle of June furrow out the
field, having the burrows from four to
five feet apart; in these burrows, make
the hills, and in each hill put shovelful
of well-rotted manure, over which throw
q little earth, and on this plant the seed.
The cultivator may be used in cultivat-
ing, though the work around the hills
requires the hand-hoe. When the vines
begin to run, pinch them off at the third
joint and the crop will be increased.
For pickles the seed should be sown the
latter part of June or the first of July.
The best variety for this purpose is the
Green Prolific. 1t is well to plant plenty
of seed, as the "striped bug" may de-
stroy some; and when the vines begin
to run, all but three plants to a hill may
be pulled up. Fine bone-four sprinkled
on the hills every day or two often rids
the vines of these pests. A solution of
tobacco put on the vines in the early
morning and then sprinkling of bone
dust are effectualp but there is nothing
better than flour of sulphur mixed with
plaster or finely-Sifted coal ashes. We
have no statistics at hand concerning
the yield, cost and profit per acre,
further than that large grower on
Long Island realized profit of from
Sl25 to $3.50 per acre when the cueum-
bers were contracted for atSl.75,a thou

"A woman named Galligan, who re-
sides in Castle Grove, was struck by
lightning last Friday. She was engaged
in her household duties about the cook
ing-stove. The electric fluid seems to
have struck the chimney, tearing and
setting on fire the end of the house, de-
molishing the stove, and, striking Mrs.
Galligan' foot, tore tito pieces and then
escaped through the floor. The foot
was mutilated and shattered as though
blown to pieces by dynamite or some
other terrible explosive. The heel Of
one of her shoes was driven half through
the floor. The most singular feature Of
the affair is that Mrs. Galligan was not
stunned or shocked by the stroke, and
with great presence of mind dragged
herself to a tub of water, extinguished
the flames, and then crawled to the door

A Ship Canal Across the Florida Pc.
ninsula.

Now that the Philadelphia capitalists
who are about to reclaim the immense
tracts of land in the State of Florida
known as the Everglades" have COM
pleted their contract with the State, it
is no longer secret that one of the main
features of the gigantic scheme is the
building of ship-canal across the State
of Florida. This project almost equals
in importance that of retaining u, 000,-
600 acres of the richest land in the world
south of the frost belt. A ship-canal
across the State of Florida has been the
dream of engineers for many years. II
would not only shorten the distance be-
tween the American porls on the At
lantic coast and all European ports to
New Orleans, Mobile, and all shipping
points on the Gulf of Mexico, but il
would avoid the dangers of navigation
which are experienced on the countless
keys and coral reefs off the southern and
southwestern coast of Florida. All ship
captains know of this danger, which is
often aggravated by hurricanes which
are common to the southwark of Florida,
but which are comparatively unknown
on the west coast in the region of Tampa
Bay. 1t is well known that number
of New York capitalists have been en-
deavoring for some years to get a char
ter from the State of Florida to build a
ship. canal, but the Philadelphia COM
pany, with great deal of shrewdness,
have got ahead of them. 1t is believed
that in connection with the Isthmus
Canal, now in course of construction I'M
der M. Ferdinand De Lesseps, the Flor
ida canal must at once attract the atten-
ton of the capitalists not only of Am
erica but of Europe. AS to the feast,
bility not only of building ship-canal,
but of draining the Everglades" the
opinions of eminent engineers and army
officers of the last generation are quoted
by those who have this work in charge

Getting Potatoes Early.


To get potatoes early dry, we'll
drained piece of ground should be Sc
lected, a rich sandy loan seeming the
most suitable at all times. If an early
crop is desired sprout the tubers, or cut
the potatoes in light, warm room,
from four to six weeks before planting,
or in hot-bed two weeks before they
are wanted, then lift carefully and plant
out-during this time you will procure
strong, vigorous shoots which as soon as
planted out in the open ground will send
out roots and grow more rapidly than
those treated in the ordinary way. All
planters have doubtless observed in
planting that where a set with a long
shoot has been planted it has been up
above ground week earlier than the
rest, and this shows the benefit of first
sprouting the sets. There is no use in
planting while the ground is wet, as o
lumpy bit of ground will not do for po-
tatoes. Plant as early in the spring as
the ground can be thoroughly worked,
for healthy, vigorous growth, and a
crop free from rot, in hills or rows three
feet apart, and in the rows one foot
apart covering in light, warm soil about
four inches, and in cold, wet ground
three inches deep. Cultivate to keep
down the weeds, and draw the earth to
the plants. The practice of killing or
earthing up potatoes has been long con-
tinued, and we must allow with satisfac-
tory results, or it would not still be
almost universal. 1t is claimed that il
entices root growth, besides allowing Of
more cultivation than otherwise, the
earth holding up the tops. There are
many persons however who have tried
level culture, and who claim the yield
was just as good as under the earthing
up system.-C0r. Philadelphia IrIbunt
