status of the War In Egypt.

The English are waging their war
in Egypt in lively manner. This
is the way Of it. On certain Tues
day lately Sir Garnet Wolsely, the
English Commander in. Chief, reach
ed Alexandria. On Wednesday he
reconnoitered and inspected. On
Thursday he perfected his plans. On
Friday a ruse was practiced. 1t was
announced that Aboukir would be
attacked on Sunday. On Saturday
afternoon the feet steamed away for
Port Said, at the entrance Of the
Suez Canal, with 5000 men; and be.
tore Sunday morning the British held
possession of Port Said, Ismalia,
Kaatara and the whole Suez Canal.
This was business. It was general
ship. Arab Pasha can now be, and
is being, attacked in the rear. Cairo
will soon be in the hands of Sir Gar
net; and then retreat into the desert
or a surrender seems only to await
Arab and the Egyptians.

That Number al Trial In Hungary for
PsIsszInE Their HlsbandA.
The sxrestof over one hundred women
In little district Of Hungary, charged
with poisoning their husbands, and the
eouvicti0n Of one-third of the number
is startling, but not without q parallel
IN history. In the seventeenth century
an old fcTtune-teller In Italy carried on
the business of selling poisons to such
an extent that the attention of the
authorities vas attracted to her place,
and il Vas discovered that the poisons
were supplied to young married women
Who were desir0us of getting nd of
their husbands The courts IN those
days were little better than Judge
Lynehis tribunals, SO that 1t is impossi-
BILE to say whether their judgments were
we'll founded, but 9 dozen or more
women were hanged, and scores of others
we've whipped through the streets.
About the same time there was asimilar
outbreak Of poisoning In France, which
was not controlled until over one
hundred prisoners, chiefly women, had
been sent to the stake or the gallows.
Early m the eighteenth century woman
IN Naples carried on 3 large trade in
pOisO1<. and u supposed to have been
coEes.ned N bringing about the deaths
of over SIX hundred persons. She was
tortured TO confession and then
strangled In every instance If whole
sale poisoning, such As that reported
from Hungary. there has been found
some seller Of pois0ns responsible alike
for supplying tia means and the sug-
eestion Of murder. The poisons used
were always slov-acting. frequently
administered. and so gradually under
mined the health of the victims that
their deaths excited no suspicion until
the aggregate grew so large as to cause
Investigation.

FARM. GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Sowing Glover in the Fall.

Probably nine-tenths of the farmers
in the United States SOW their clover
seed in the spring, without being able
to give any better reason for doing so
than that they have always done SO, and
their fathers before them. Having
never done otherwise, they do not seem
to be aware that in all that district of
country including the Middle and
Southern States clover sown in the fall
will, in nine cases out of ten, succeed
much better than if sown in the spring,
the reason of it being that, as clover is
a hardy plant when once established, it
is not very easily Injured by frost, the
start it gets when sown in the fall
enabling it to become so well rooted as
to endure the severest cold of winter
without detriment. It is not the frosts
of winter so much as the hot suns of
midsummer that it is to be feared. But
what, asks one, is the advantage of SOW
ing in the fall? Why, Just this A
man can then devote the greater portion
of his farm to wheat exclusively, with
an increased rather than diminished
yield, the clover making sufficient
growth by the coming fall to- be turned
under, and thus not only supply the
necessary vegetable matter to the land
and which, with the addition of the
mineral matter usually found in all COM
mercial manures, would insure its in :
creased production-but the clover hav-
ing already gone to seed, would. in all
probability, reseed itself. And when q
farm is once brought to that degree of
fertility when its pyoductiveress can be
maintained without the aid of CONNER
cial manure, clover will be found to be
the most effective fertilizer the
farmer can use, and which, with the
addition of the resources Of the farm
itself-properly husbanded and applied
will maintain the fertility of the land
indefinitely without the aid of CONNER
cial manures.
Try the experiment, then, brother
farmers, of sowing your cloverseed in
the fall at the time of sowing your wheat.
and ii you have any doubts about the
risk of sowing all your cloverseed at that
time, select an acre or two in one of your
wheat fields which you intend for clover,
and note the difference between it and
the other portions of the field the ensu-
ing fall. 1t should be borne in mind.
however, that the earlier the wheat is
sown the better for the fall-sown clover.
OF course the clover must be sown
broadcast Immediately altar sowing or
drilling in the wheat.

/. Among the boarders in the house Is
Japanese student. He is q neat,
bright, good-natured young man, and
appears anxious to learn the ways Of
Americans.
Mr.. Mitchell and friends have been
playing tricks on him. Not long ago
they got up q game of baseball They
kept the Jap" as they call him. at the
bat by refusing or purposely failing to
catch him out, and he ran around the
bases all the afternoon. Next day the
muscles of his legs were so sore he had
to remain in bed. When he reap
peared he climbed up tree to look at
young owls in q nest, and discovered
rotten apples.
On Monday morning the Jap, while
out rowing, came upon q multitude of
fish OF all sizes and varieties houndering
in The water. They showed their fins.
and appeared to keep within q certain
space. The Jap thought he had struck
fish boranza, and he resolved to keep
his /" find ~ q secret. That afternoon
Mr.. Mitchell and q number Of the
boarders were walking along the shore
talking about fishing. The Jap said
that it was cruel and unfair to catch
fish with hook, line and bait. sin

he exclaimed in good English. All his
hearers, with the exception of Alderman
Strack, were astonished. The alderman
said that he lad read about Japanese
diving into the water, and chasing and
catching fish Just as fish-hawks do.

how to catch fish without hooks. "
and he got into boat, and roEed out
about two hundred yards. He pitched
the anchor over, and pulled of his
coat, vest and shirt. He was next seen
to lie down in the boat while he peeped
carefully over tbs sides. Every now
and then he would plunge his right
hand into the water, and would haul up
fish.
''Look at himI" yelled Mr.. Mitchell
" He is catching fish with his hands. by

The Jap continued yanking up the
fish for over half an hour, much to the
amazement of the other bcarderS
When he rowed In the boat contained
about fifty fish of all kinds
"That's the way we catch fish In
Japan" he remarked. as he pulled the
boat on shore.
Mr.. Mitchell had nothing to say, and
Alderman Strack said that the Jap
must have mesmerizsd the fish as they
swan by.
Thst evening the boardsrs were On
the balcony of the house listening to
versions of the fishing exploit, vhsn
the path gate was violently thrown
open, and q big Irishman IN 9 blue

dow a Rebel Major Got His Pardon.

nOW q hoUcA MdjVE UOe HIS EAAu0Aa
A few days after the war had been
declared at an end Major DreVTy went
to Washington, and, without the usual
ceremony of sending in his name, lest
he should be refused an interview,
made his way into the presence Of
Secretary Stanton.
"Mr. Secretary" said he. ST want
my pardon as soon as possible. I've
fought against you as long as could,
and I've been whipped, and now i
want to go home and go to work I've
got hundreds of acres of land that have
been living fallow for the last four
years, and want to get seed into every

he talked so fast that Mr.. Stanton
couldn't get in g word but, being
amused and rather pleased by Msior
Drewry's bluff manner, he asked at
last:
son what grounds do you expect to
pardon, sirP
son the ground, sir, that 1 showed
you how to build q navy. You sent
your feet of old wooden ships I'D to
Drewry's Bluffs, and We knocked 'en
all to pieces and showed You, sir. that

And then you went to work, and got
navy that was worth something; and

your needs to you that / want .

The Secretary laughed, and told the
honest rebel to call next day, as he
would like to talk further with him.
Next day Major Drewry got his pardon,
and in return gave Mr.. Stanton great
deal Of valuable information concerning
the South and its prospects. He went
back to his pleasant home on the
James, and remained wise, enterpris-
ing, prosperous citizen.

Many farmers make pork-raising o
considerable part of their business with
out being able to give more satisfac-
bors do SO and make money by it. They
do net seen to consider that all farms
are not equally adapted to the business
that on some farms pork can be raised
at one half the cost it can on others. On
bottom lands, where corn can be raised
without much detriment to the soil,
pork can be raised at profit, but on
billy lands the damage to the soil is
often much greater than the profit on
the pork. Then, again, to make cheap
pork the hogs must be kept in thriving
condition from the time they are pig
ged-not that they should be kept fat
all the time, for that would run away
with the profits. The first six months
of pigs life should be devoted to the
growth of bone and muscle, for which
purpose they should be fed literally,
but not to such an extent as to be kept
continually fa.. The hog is naturally
grazing animal, and will make much
cheaper pork by being raised partly on
grass than on corn alone. Not onlv can
q pound of pork be made cheaper on
clover than on corn, but the great gain
lie in the fact that hog. after a summe--
ing on clover, is in better condition
to assimilate grain food than when fed
exclusively on corn, Pork can be made
cheaper, too, from pigs eight to ten
months old, than from hogs that have
been wintered and fattened at eighteen
. to twenty months old-the former being
often made to weigh from 200 to 300
pounds (heavy enough for any use)-
besides saving the cost of whitening, as
well as getting the use Of the money so
much the sooner.
Another considerable item of expense
in raising hogs-and one that is rarely
ever noticed-is the extra amount of
fence required. This is often SO great,
indeed, that on farms where the soil is
liable to be washed away when turned
in corn, enough hogs only should be
kept to consume what swill and waste
there comes from the kitchen and dairy,
and they to be kept in pens with the ex-
ception of few for breeders-it being
found much better that brood-sows
should have plenty Of room for exercise,
with access to the soil at all times. A
SOW shut up in psn, with no exercise,
will be very apt to disappoint you at
iarrowing time; and the pigs, too, if
deprived of the necessary exercise of
following their mother, as soon as they
are able, are more or less liable to be
affected by lung disease. The man,
then, whose land is broken and not
particularly adapted to raising corn,
should have . lot near the barn for his
sows aud pigs to run in, and thus save
himself the trouble and expense of
keeping up pig-tight fence on the rest
Of his farm.
