Hanuring Corn in the Hill.

If one has good supply of manure
and can afford to give the whole
ground "a thorough dressing it may do
very well to let the hills alone; but
We are quite sure that where the sup
ply Of manure is limited, it will be
found far better to put part of it at
least in the hill before dropping the
corn, and We have little doubt but that
even when the whole surface is abund-
antly MANFRED, it would still pay in
many cases to manure in the hill.
If even the mere size of a seed gives
it an advantage in its first start IN
life, how much more valuable must
be a good stock of nutritious food
ready to hand as soon as the young
plant is in a condition to use it, 1t
is indeed their first early start In life
which makes all the difference between
good crop and poor one. If plants
once get behind, it is very hard for
them to pull up again. There are
but few months of growing time
and good start is great gain.
For the same reason, it is an error
to bury manure in the ground at any
time, when the crop Is annual one to
be sowed in the spri ng and taken off
in the fall. And yet this is a very
common practice. Manare is spread
On the surface, plowse down and the
seed sown on the surface with the
manure several inches away 1t would
be far better in most cases to pillow the
ground first, and then spread the,
manure on the surface and harrow it,
before sowing the sesd.-G ermantoaos

How Far TO the Sun.

All the evidence at present attain
able makes the distance Of the sun from
the earth 92,SS4,000 miles, says Prof.
Young, with a probable error Of one
quarter of one per cent, or 235,000
miles.
But it is one thing to state these fig
ures, and quite another to understand
what they mean. Prof. Young is at
the pains to translate them into the
terms of common experience, SO that
they may be partially realized. He
says: "If one were to try to walk such
distance, supposing that he could walk
four miles an hour, and keep it up for
10 hours every day, it would take $50
years to make single million of miles,
and more than $500 years to traverse
the whole. If some celestial railway
could be imagined, the journey to the
sun, even if our trains ran so miles an
hour, day and night, and without a
stop, would require over 175 years.
Sensation, even, would not travel SO far
in human lifetime. TO borrow the
curious illustration Of Prof. Menden-
hall, if we could imagine an infant with
an arm long enough to enable him to
touch the sun and burn himself, he
would die of old age before the pain
could reach him, since, according to
the experiments Of Helmholtz and
others, nervous shock is communicate
ed only at the rate Of about 100 feet
per second, or 1857 miles day, and
would need more than 100 years to
make the journey. Sound would do it
in about fourteen years if it could be
transmitted through celestial space,
and cannon ball in about nine, if it
were to move uniformly with the same
speed as when it left the muzzle of the
gun. If the earth could be suddenly
stopped in her orbit and allowed to
fall unobstructed toward the sun, under
the accelerating influence Of his attrac-
ton, she would reach the centre in
about four months. have said if she
could be stopped, but such is the COM
pass of her orbit that to make its
circuit in year she has to move
nearly nineteen miles second, or more
than fifty times faster than the swiftest
rifle ball, and moving twenty miles her
path deviates from perfect straightness
by less than one eighth Of an inch"

General Garfield is quoted as saying
in letter written ten years ago to a
lawyer who had opposed the insanity
plea in a murder trial: "The whole
country owes you a debt of gratitude
for brushing away the wicked absurdi-
ty which has lately been palmed off on
the country as a law on the subject
of insanity. If this thing had gone
much further, all that man would
need to secure himself from the charge
Of murder would be to rave a little and
tear his hair little, and then kill his
man."

of relief that he got out of it so easily.
Johnny thought that ship wasn't going
very fast; but Brown told Johnny not
to trouble him any more; he was very
busy. And then Brown glanced at
Mrs. b. again, and guessed by the sweet
smile on her face that she HAD been
listening. Now he wishes she hadn't.
