Kentucky Superstitions.

A writer in the Louisville Courier
Journal gives some of the current super
stitions of Kentucky negroes. Ii a
person passes through funeral process
sion he will die before the oldest one in
it. If dog lies on it's back and bowls it
presages an early death in the family If
the longest. snake killed in days search
be suspended from the tree nearest to a
parched field it will bring rain. IF it be
necessary to turn back after starting on
an errand, the consequent bad luck may
be averted by making cross in the
path with the left forefnger. A sufferer
may be cured by creeping up behind
him unawares and knocking him down
with a raw beef tongue just taken from
the beast by an unmarried butcher under
21. A bloody knife, bottle of alcohol,
and bag of live lizards are an effective
outfit for bewitching an enemy: but the
intended victim is often warned of the
danger by an OWLS screech close to his
cabin. The recipient of a poisonous
snakes bite drinks pint of whisky, and
then, If sober enough, kills the first
black chicken with white tail feathers he
can find, picks the feathers out and
burns them.

Cute Little Yellow Birds.

Mr. Daniel G. Beard, writing in the
Scientific American, says that our sum-
mer yellow-birds, though confding lit
tie creatures, are not readily duped or
imposed upon by the COW black-bird
which deposits it's eggs Unfortunately
among the nests of smaller birds, SO that
it's young are Matched and reared with
out any care from the real parents.
" The instinct of the yellow birds are
sufficiently near reason for them to de-
tect the diferen ce between their own
little, fragile, prettily- marked, greenish-
colored eggs, and the great dark-colored
ones the vagabond COW black-bird has
surreptitiously struggled into the coy
nest. The domestic little couple cling
to the spot selected for their house, and
will not leave it, neither will they hatch
the obnoxious eggs which they are APP
parently unable to throw out, but the
difficulty is soon surmounted, and SO are
the gratuitous eggs, for the indefatiga-
BILE workers proceed at once to cover up
the COW black-bird's eggs, constructing
a new lest on top of the old one, build
ing second-story, as it were, to their
dwelling.

A Queer Community.

Nicodemus colony, in Kansas, is a
prosperous place, although the residents
thereof get along without gold, silver or
greenbacks. It contains 365 homes, and
is located In Graham County, the dis
trict being known as Solomon's Valley.
Two churches are there, one public
school, one subscription school, post
office and several stores. The people
raise corn, pumpkins and vegetables,
and meet every Saturday night and ex-
change commodities. They give vege-
tables and other productions for drugs,
clothing, and SO on, and actually live
without money. For three years after
the colony started there was not team
in it, and the men worked entirely with
picks and spades. The colonists were of
the worst class of negroes from Ken
lucky. Many of them went in order to
live easily off the community. Now
they are said to be transferred into hard
working farmers. Nicodemus has a
regular township government, the prin-
cipal officer being township trustee,
who is negro.

The Dancers of Ignorance.

benjamin v. Abbott, in Popular Science Monthly.
One cannot judge from the brief &C
counts given what are the precise causes
of such disasters, but there is reason to
believe that ignorance is prolific; that
many persons have only vague knowl-
edge of the qualities of nitro-glycerine,
cannot recognize it when they see it, and
are not acquainted with the various
forms in which it is compounded or with
the peculiar dangers of handling it care
lessly. Nitro-glycerine itself is dense,
yellowish liquid, but, in order to dimin-
ish the danger attending its use, fine
earth, ground mica, sawdust, or some
similar power, is saturated with it, and
thus the various blasting powders known
as dynamite, mica-powder, dualin, rend-
rock, etc., are formed. These COM
pounds can be transported with compar-
alive safety. But the nitro-glycerine
easily drains off from the powder and
oozes from any crevice in the vessel in
which the compound is kept. Drops of
it thus believing the edges OF a box
may very easily be mistaken for Oh es-
Gaping, and If workmen ignorantly en-
deavor to nail up the box tighter or to
open it for examination there will be dis
astrous explosion. Several have occurred
in past years in this way. The victims
knew, no doubt, that nitro-glycerine Cor
| the compounds) may be exploded by
| blow Contact with fire is not needfuD,
but they did not suspect that innocent
looking oil was nitro-glycerine. Why
should not youth be taught in schools
somewhat Of the practical dangers of
these substances which are coming into
such common use? They would pursue
the study with interest, especially if
there were judicious experiments. A Mis-
souri, story is that a teacher confscated
small metal box which pupil was play
ing with in school hours, and, thinking
it contained chewing gum, tried to break
it open with hammer. 1t was dyna-
mite torpedo of the kind used on the rail-
road track as danger signal, aud large
bits Of it had to be cut out of the ladv's
cheek. Would it not have been we'll If
she mad known somewhat of the aspect of
torpedoes? Was it not more important
to the journeyman plumber who threw
lighted match into the pan of cam
phene, installing it for water, by which
the great Franklin Square printing es-
adjustment was burned some twenty
eight years ago, to know camphene by
sight than to have memorZed many OF
the matters prominent in public school
course? Surely workmen, especially
''raw hands," in establishments where
these things are used, should be system
atically instructed IN advance, and the
courts are now enforcing this principle.

and studio, but no reward is offered for
pasture that will support the largest
amount of stock. Many things In Ameri-
can agriculture are bad, but our pastures
are perhaps the worst of ALL
1t is quite as easy to obtain a supply
of water on many farms by digging in
horizontal as well as In perpendicular
direction. 1t is much easier to dispose
of the earth, as it can be removed On
wheelbarrow. The time spent IN dig
glng well would often secure spring.
FROM the former the water must be
raised IN bucket or by means of a
pump, but from the latter it will flow
without the labor of man. IF the stream
is very small it will afford in the course
Of twenty-four hours all the water
large number of animals will require to
drink. By means Of pipes large troughs
IN different parts of the pasture may be
Kept full of pure water during the entire
year.
In the northwest, spring is the best
season for transplanting apple trees,
giving the plant full vitality for the win
ter siege, which is, otherwise, apt to
wlnter-kill for lack of root nourishment.
The trees should, however be dug and
buried beyond the reach Of frost, in the
fall, after the seasons work is done.
Digging trees in spring in principal and
apt to produce sunscald, if not black
hearted IN the next fall. In planting,
be sure and get the earth we'll worked
about the tree. Mulching is advan-
tageous in winter Use forest leaves,
decaying hay, straw, or moss, but never
wood chips. A young orchard should
never be lnterfered with by grass, weeds,
or crops.
A CERTAIN degree Of moisture is nee
essary for the Matching of eggs. The
biddy which hides her nest away in
some secluded spot on the ground usual
ly comes out with fine brood of chick
ems, while the one which has her nest
made high up from the ground ia some
high place very likely failed to hatch the
most Of her eggs. Generally the hen
will hatch the most OF her eggs when
her nest is placed upon the ground. If
it is not practicable to build the nest
upon the ground it is advisable, in order
to maintain certain degree of moisture,
to place few shovelfuls of earth in a
box and place the nest upon that. When
nests are made of straw and placed upon
the floor the air circulates throughout
the nest SO readily that the eggs become
too dry to hatch well.

The morning of the year
Flushes again these northern glades. Awakel
O slumbering branches. The remembered cheer
And comradeship of other summers take
On your mute faces. Answer me again,
And tell your Winters dream of ecstacy or PAIN.
Then first the Naples stirred,
Their pendant blossoms trembling with delight,
And said: The night is over. We have heard

Of stormy pain, but all undaunted sung the Pines.'
The Elm returned:
''Of summer was my dream the long night
through:
OF sunset fires where myriad roses burned,
To give their beauty back in the morning dew;
Of interlacing boughs
Festooned in arches meet for lovers vows;
And of the golden robins nest that chung
Close to my heart, which throbbed whene'er the

Tup BILL VETOED =.

As was expected 81. Arthur, the
apology for President of the United
States, has vetoed the chinese Bill. In
his message he gives as his most vital
objection, the 20 wears suspension; but
perusal of that document exhibits
only fimsy argdmsn. in favor of the
im migration of Chinese TO this coast.
The PEOPLE here will bo accused Of act
log from passion in their unqualified
condemnation of the course OF
the President in placing a bar
barous horde of Cslestials Lofore the
will of large and important section of
country, over which bs is supposed to
have authority; bat we know that the
opposition to Chinese emigration is
actuated by the greatest deliberation and
the most careful thought. In Califor-
MIA out of 10000 votes there were
only 500 in favor of immigration, and
Oregon would show the same difference.
The veto of the President is declara-
ton that this vast number of people
along this coast who feel themselves
injured by tho influx Of Chinese into
this country, have no rights which he
is bound 10 respect. His whole course
is based on ignerence. Having had no
knowledge of the effect the Monsolian
race have on the Pacific Coast, he
places his own prejudices before tbs
declared will of as intelligent people al
can even be found around the White
House. BY doing this he has made
himself infamous in the eyes of an i'm.
mense number of people whose blood
is purer than his own. Not only thai
bat be 6egrades himself farther BY
slowing himself to be the puppct o
unstable element. The result o.
this will be to make tAe Pacific Coasi
solid for the Democracy, for it is vel
known that under Democratic rule The
result would have been entirely differ
ent. It was the Democrats that took
the bill through both houses, and nov
it is for them to carry it over the
Presidents head if such thing is
possible.
