TarniSh.

A Milwaukee paper describes an anus
inc scene at one of the churches in that
city on q recent Sunday. During the
vacation season the seats had been newly
vanished and were terribly sticky.
When you pull anything off of sticky
varnish it cracks. The audience had all
got seated, when the minister got up to
give out the hymn, and as his trousers
let loose of the varnish of his chair there
was a noise like the killing of fly on
the wall with palm leaf fan. The min
ister looked around at the chair to see if
he was all present and if his pants had
escaped. and read the hymn. The choir
rose with a sound of revelry and after
the tenor had swallowed lozenge and
the base had coughed, and the alto had
hemmed, and the soprano had shook
out her polonaise to see if the varnish
had showed on the south side, the audi
ence began to rise. One or two deacons
got up first with sounds like picket firing
in the distance on the eve of battle; and
then few more got up. and the rafting
of the unyielding varnish sounded as
though the fight was becoming more an
mated, and then the whole audience got
on its feet at once with a sound of rat
ting musketry. The choir sang ''Hold
the Fort" When the orchestra had
concluded the people sat down gingerly,
the services were short, and all went
home praying for the man who had
painted the seats.

Give Culture in California.

Ellwood Cooper, of Santa Barbara,
the leading olive-grower of California,
saws that he has trees eight years old
that have produced two thousand gallons
of olives to the acre. This would be
equivalent to $50 gallons of oil to the
acre, and the oil finds ready market at
50 gallon. The yield of one acre
would thus be 81 $50, which for hun
dred acre ranch would be a pretty fair
income. But these figures are not repre-
sented to apply to any but the very
choicest trees and an uncommonly good
year. But even computing the profits
of olive culture at as low figure as one
tenth, a twenty-acre ranch would sup
port family very comfortably after six
or seven years of waiting. One of the
great advantages of olive culture is the
fact that irrigation is not needed. In
climate where there is often such a scar
city of rain as in California, this is 4
matter of much importance. The olive
tree also grows very old. There are
trees in Asia Minor that are known to be
over ], 200 years old. and are still in full
bearing. In considering the profits of
fruit culture, however, the danger of in
sect pests, disease and over-production
must be kept in mind; and these are
usually passed by without mention in
glowing descriptions of southern Cali
fornia-EIchdnge.

The Corn Smut.

The smut in Indian corn, so noticeable
at this season, is a fungus, or minute
plant of 3 very low order, that feeds
upon the juices of the corn and finally
makes itself conspicuous by the forms-
ton of Z vast number Of small, duS-hke
bodies in masses, upon the ears and
other parts of the corn plant This dark.
purple dust is the congregated spores or
seeds of the smut plant, and II IS this
which carries the fungus through the
winter. Ii is difficult 10 determine Just
how or where the minute spores effect
an entrance into the young growing
corn; nevertheless it is important that
thew should be destroyed. This can be
best done by picking of the snutted
parts before the corn is cut. If this work
IS neglected. care should be taken to sep
arate al the smut at the time of husk-
ing. and bum it; otherwise the spores
viii terminate the following year, and
continue the pest. Corn smut is injurious
TO animals, acting both as poison and
mechanical irritant. For this reason the
smut should be kept from the feeding
stalls.-Tse Agricttlssrist,

Indian Girls.

Indian girls are not allowed to mingle
freely with the braves; never 90 out
walking or riding with them; nor have
they anything to say TO each other.
Even in counting the same strictness is
observed. A young brave takes 4 notion
to marry young girl, but cannot do so
until he has been declined. The woman
removes from the rest of the family to a
small wickeup, or lodge, where she re-
mains one month by herself, abstaining
from flesh and living on seeds or berries.
She must be very industrious during that
time. going out every morning at day
break to gather wood and logs. which
she arrays in FIVE different piles. This Ia
Dor is repeated at noon and at shutdown.
Every five days she is acknowledged by
the other women and men to be q young
lady ready to marry. and at these times
the wood is set on fire, she jumping over
the piles while they are burning. Eat
ing. drinking and dancing are INDUCED
in every fifth day. Then at the end of
the month she returns TO her father.
casting away all her old clothing, and
appearing before her parents in new
robes made of buckskin.
The ceremony OF courtsnlp IS as 1ol-
lows: The brave seeks the place where
the Indian maiden is at rest. If she dis
covers him she gets up and goes away.
He never follows her, but comes again
the following night, and so on indefinite
". Then when her parents give consent
to their marriage, she is given feast at
which he is invited to partake. At no
other time is he allowed to eat with the
family. The ceremony of marriage is
very simple. The lady passes the brave
some food in dish. He takes it and
sets it down; then they are considered
man and wife. They remove to a lodge
by themselves, if able; if not. they re-
main in their fathers lodge. When the
first child is born, they go by themselves
and work for others, remaining that way
one month. They do not eat meat of
any kind during this period and battle
every five days. After that they return
to their old home again. Deformed
children among the people are almost
unknown.-Cor Detroit Free Press.

The New England Farmer Then and Now.

The Introduction of the spinning
Jenny, soon followed BY the invention
of the cotton gin, was the beginning of
a new era in the industries of this coun-
try, and more especially in Massachu-
sets: for the manufacture of cloth for
clothing BY machinery, so lightened the
labors of all classes that they had time
to devote to the production of those
things which lifted them above the tread
mill, that merely supplied the pressing
wants of the body: this created a demand
for variety of manufactures, so great
that il was soon found necessary to have
workmen who could devote their whole
time to manufactures; thus came d.
vision of labor At first the mechanic
exchanged his wares with the farmer for
the product of his farm. While this
CO ntinued it did not very materially
change the condition of the farmer; but
when the labor-saving machines We're
introduced TO an extent that enabled the
manufacturer to sell his wares abroad
for the cash. it very sensibly affected the
farmer. The ease and the cheapness
with which the goods could be manufact-
ured enabled the manufacturer to pay
prices for labor that created an uneasi-
ness among the farmer sons and daugh
tiers, and one after another left the farm.
to work in the manufactures, until
so many left that large numbers of
farms had none to care for them. except
the farmer and his wife. whose declin-
ing years compelled them to gradually
diminish their labors on the farm:
thus the weeds, the briers, and the
bushes crept in, and the farm presented
q neglected appearance. At one time,
to such extent was this carried. that
many believed that farming in Massa-
chusetts must be abandoned: but the de-
mand among the mechanics for perish
able articles, that could not be transport
ed long distances, was such as to raise
prices to a point where the farmer could
get fair price for his labor, and get the
cash when sold; this encouraged not
only the farmers but also the sons to re-
main on the farm; in fact it drew some
from the workshops, as soon as they
were convinced that by the exercise of
intelligence they could get as much or
more for their labor in the field as they
could in the factory. But these men did
not buy hill farms, but farms with rich
productive soil.
At first the mechanic seemed to step
above the farmer, because his labor was
cash every Saturday night, giving him
an opportunity to spend it once for lux
uries, while the farmer had to invest the
most of his surplus labor in permanent
improvements on the farm. In time
the mechanic learned that while the
