CROP NOTES.

Sow onions seed thickly in July, and
when the size of beans pull, dry and store
away for next seasons sets.
The hoe, although a modern invention,
has served a good turn in keeping the
hired man out of mischief during the time
fields were too wet TO work in with team
and cultivation.
Oats may be sown among blackberries
and raspberrieis in July or August. When
the frost kills them they will fall down
around the plants, furnishing an excellent
winter protection TO the fruit plants.
A writer in the American Agriculturist
says that by winding string tightly
around the body or limb in June or July
will cause barren fruit trees to yield the
following season. Let our readers try the
plan on single limbs and alternate trees
this summer. The string should be cut off
next winter, and dontt you forget that,
else you might be short of trees in few
years.

An EnqIish E' Crank. "

Mr.. Gladstone had strange visitor
enough at the dinner which he gave to
his tenantry at the recent rent audit.
He entered the room quietly and took
his seat near the head of the table,
among the principal guests, many sup
posing him to be clerk. Of the wine
he partook freely, and before the speak
ing began, he handed to the prime min
lister, which was read and then quietly
laid aside. When the dinner was ended
the strange man followed Mr.. Gladstone
out of the hall, tugged at his coat-tails
and seriously impeded his progress.
Finally, he was arrested, and the letter
he had given Mr.. Gladstone being OBJ
tanned, it was found to begin with the
following address: "My Dear Satan. ("
The writer went on to say that he had
just come up from hell, > and desired to
offer Mr.. Gladstone his services, adding,
if you require birthstone can give it to
you cheap"

Gin and Its Origin.

Nearly $50 years ago the Count de
Merret, son of Henry ~, OF France, in
vented or brought into palatable con-
dition juniper wine, which was found
cheap and easy to make, pleasant to
drink and very useful as a medicine for
every one suffering from dropsy or any
other disease which require that the kid
neys should be encouraged to do their
work efficiently. The wine soon came
into use, but, being found 10 be too
much of a medicine for persons who
were not invalids to care about taking it
in large quantities, Dutch professor,
Mynheer Sylvins, of Leyden, who died
two centuries ago, discovered process
for converting the juice of the juniper
berries into a liquor which had all the
medicinal properties of juniper juice and
grape wine, and was at the same time
more suitable fer general use, and, as
the French word for juniper is genievre,
the new spirit came to be called Geneva,
the capital of Switzerland. The inven-
ton came, not from Switzerland, but
from Holland, and to this circumstance,
and to the fact that for very long time
it was principally manufactured in that
country, both it and the similar liquor
which now goes with us by the name of
gin are often called Hollands. The orig
inal Geneva is very different from both
Hollands and gin. 1t is d spirit formed
by the fermentation OF juniper berries by
themselves, which contain a peculiar
saccharine principle, yielding alcohol to
the extent of 33 per cent. of the entire
substance fermented, along with about
one per cent. of very powerful essential
oil, which is the real medical element of
the liquor. The old Geneva soon came
into fashion. and from being made and
sold exclusively by the druggists, began
to be sold in larger quantities by ordi-
nary distillers, until they found it con-
venient to develop new trade by adding
certain quantity of juniper juice to or
binary formed spirits, and thus to pro-
duce yet more palatable beverage for
the use of healthy people. This bever-
age also took the name of Geneva, al
though to separate it from the juniper
spirit, The more appropriate name of
Holland was applied to it, and its manu-
facture rapidly became very important
branch of business, especially in Schie-
dam, where now there are about It's dis
tilleries, nearly as many as are to be met
III Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Gonda and
all the other Dutch towns. Every gin
distillery has recipe of it's own, which
is usually kept a secret, A large variety
of substances is employed in the flavor
ing of gin. Among others may be men
toned bitter almonds, turpentine, creo-
sote, cardamons, garlic, Canada balsam,
horse-radish, grains of paradise, cayenne
pepper and many herbs and seeds. Per-
haps nothing used as diet by men is
liable to greater and more injurious adul-
iteration than gin, and the difficulty OF
getting it pure from any poisonous drug
should induce every one to abstain
from it.

brandished above. In second more,
the glittering steel dropped from his
hand, and with a groan he fell to the
ground.
Albert had performed the work in
which had failed.
But few feet behind the CORY body
were two savages to take his place.
"Get on get on - exclaimed the scout,
as he set the example.
| In a second we were seated on the
craft, and in it began to move gently for.
ward.
The two braves were at the brink, and
one had his hand upon my shoulder.
The quick wrench [ gave precipitated
the toboggan forward, and we began tC
move faster. A couple of shots rang
through the startled air, one of them
striking the rear end of the now swiftly
moving sled.
/ We dared not to look behind, but we
heard the cries of the foiled savages, as
all breathless they gathered at the brink,
and hurled volleys of balls and yells OF
rage after us.
The speed with which we were descend
ing the mountain-side was momentarily
increasing.
The toboggan, with it's CLASSY surface,
was flying over the icy path.
The forest trees on either sideappeared
to be rushing madly upward, while we
seemed to stand still. So rapid was our
flight that the heavy garments we wore
we're like sieves through which red-hot
needles were thrust into our cold flesh.

whirlwind, like the mountain tornado, we
sped. Behind the snorting iron horse
we had never gone SO fast.
1t was with difficulty we could breathe.
The circulation of our blood ceased, and
our hearts throbbed like the pulsations
of steam engine.
The race was terrific; it was madden
ing. When we could think, we pictured
ourselves dashed Against the rock, ou1
mangled bodies tossing down into the
black depths below.
About two-thirds of the way down, was
jagged rock, against which our frai]
bark was wildly speeding. The throb-
bling in my heart stood still. I closed
my eyes in terror, but the horrible fas.
cination of that certain death was upon
me. did not dare to keep them closed
Just before we reached the rock the
scout struck the snowy crust with the
butt of his rife, and the toboggar
swerved safely around the obstacle. The
impetus of our motion tore the weapon
from his grasp, and it went spinning
downthe incline.
At last we had reached the foot of the
descent, and were gliding, at greatly
reduced speed, upon the frozen surface Of
the Huerfano.
We were safe
Outlines I lie awake at night, hearing
the whistle of the winters wind, but its
shrillest blast seems as a whisper COM
pared with the wild shrieking which
sounded in my ears as l rode down the
"shoot" on the Huerfano River.
