FacetiOuS Talk.

MIR. Gregory told us that, going the other

went down to dinner he determined to
make him speak if possible, SO he proceed

Good Farm Gardens.

The little care on farm gardens by farm
ers is surprising. There is no part of the
farm any more important than the garden
is. It is pat, and an essential part of the
farm; yet it is fact that ut least three
fourths of the farmers pay no more atten-
ton to it than they do to the potatoe patch.
A garden needs special ttention and tilling
Make your garden no larger than you can
prepare and care for in the best possible
manner. Nothing is more essential for
good garden than good drainage. It is i'm
possible to raise supply of vegetables
without it. The soil of garden ought to be
SO rich and loose that it will fall apart when
etroked with light rake ar fork. In this
condition, where the seed was planted in it,
you need not wait long for returns. For
garden purposes there is nothing better
than we'll rotted stable manure, with which
leaves or any refuse vegetable matter may
be composed with advantage. This should
be plowed in unless the soil is quite san
dy and the manure very fine, when it
may be applied on the surface and harrow
ed in. If you are a farmer, your garden is
as much a part of your fields as the corn
field is. When you neglect the garden you
neglect one of the most important parts of
your business. Don't leave this most nee
essary work for the women to do. Much
of it needs the mans strong arm. But
whatever you do let it be well done and
have good gardens.

.sThe Play MAY 60 On"

The father of President Hill, Of Harvard
College, was man Of herculean frame, and
famous for his strength. It is told of him
that being one time ct theatre in Orange,
N. j., his attention was attracted by small
Frenchman who was trying to induce man
in front Of him to remove his hat. The
little foreigner leaned forward and in the
most deprecatory manner said several times,
will you please take off your hat?" The
man paid no attention to the request, and
Mr. Hill leaned forward and knocked off
the offending hat. The man jumped up in
. rage. The attention of the audience was
turned from the sags and tt the play ceased
ing justice of the peace. Towering to his
full height, he faced the irate man and said
calmly, but loud enough to be heard by all:
My name is Thomas Hill. tanner; my ad-
dress is so-and- so; any time that you want
satisfaction come to me" Then turning to
the expectant actors he said, with his usua
air of authority, THE play may go on"

War Stories,

Washington Cor N Y Times
held down a chair in a party few even
ings since in which Colonel Hatch, of Han
nibal, Mo-, who served in the rebel army,
and some ex- Union soldiers were relating
war stories. The colonel, who is now
member Of congress, told many good
yarn, but none that interested me more
than some Of the gloomy days Of the Con-
federacv during the winter Of 1884. He
said they had by some means gotten hold
of bundle of Chicago papers, in one Of
which they found paragraph saying that
some Of the farmers on the great prairies
Of Illinois had been forced to burn com for
fuel, on account CT it's cheapness and the
high price of coal. He said the paragraph
had more interest for them at that time
than all the other contents of the papers,
and it was generally shown about and dis
cussed through tho camp. Il remember, "
said the colonel, how SOMEBODY said:
What's the use offghting people who are
burning corn for fuel, while we are count
ing it out by the grain?' and we petty near
ali agreed with him."
well, said one Of the Union men, II re-
member when we took one of your men
prisoners at Charlottesville, and they

been terribly hungry. The men were be-
ginning to get weak from lack of food, and
almost certnin starvation stared the party in
the face. Hunger isn't "a pleasant thing.
I never want to feel it rs I felt it at that
time. The snow, as bright and beautiful
rs it was, became hateful to look upon.
There was no breakfast on that third day
and no dinner, and when the shadows OF
the fourth night began to fall
there was no supper. The
coal was almost gone. Another day would
leave us without fire. There had been no
sign of the Judge all day, and although the
men felt that he had gone for help, yet they
began to fear that he had never reached
Sn.ethrort. Every one was downhearted
and ready 10 rush off into the snow III the
hope OF forcing Il way out Of the horrible
place. IT,. young lady never once tlinched,
and although her face bore plainly the
traces IS hunger, yet she spoke not n word
Of con- INT. The men were in their most
Respondent mood, when all at once the
judge tumblea through the door with some
thing in his hun,,. 1t was a rabbit. How
he ca.c,,t IL /, one knew, for he was half

when he told ais story. He had struggled
through the SNOW al day and had by rare
good fortune caught the rabbit. The men
soon had the auimal skinned and nicely
roasted. and the judge himself carried it to
the youu, lady. She would take only her
share, however, and insisted that the meat,
scarce as it was. should be fairly divided
among the party.
In the afternoon of the next day gang
of railroad workmen, armed with shovels,
md reinforced by four locomotives, snow
plough, and a passenger ear, worked path
down the grade and came upon our engine
and train. There was no sign OF life about
the cars, and the rescuing party that had
started out from Bradford early in the
morning of the second day of the storm,
working toward us night and day, thought
that the relief had come too late. But the
snow-bound prisoners were alive, and the
very first man to rush into the rear car Of
our train was the young lady's lover. 1t
would be useless for me to attempt des-
cription Of the meeting, for the young lady
just threw her arms about his neck and
cried for very JOY. When he led her out of
her prison and carried her in his arms to
the passenger Car Of the relief train, the
men of both parties set up such cheer
that made the mountains echo and reecho
again, and the frightful way in which those
four locomotives joined in the chorus with
their steam whistles would have wakened
the dead.

A SNAKE STORY.
The Experience Of Il Man Who Had Some
Dealings With Reptiles.

The Experience Of Il Man who Had Some
Dealings With Reptiles.
From the London Field.
10 get snake out Of a bottle is tedi-
GUS job; in whatever way it is turned, tho
head will be directed upward, so that the
only way to induce him to come out is to
place the bottle upright or nearly so; even
then the head is withdrawn on the slightest
alarm and the position is by no means fA-
vorable to it's transference to box. If the
door or opening of the latter will admit of
it, the best plan is to put the bottle I'M
corked into the box and let the snake crawl
out at his leisure; first checking of" the
bottle with wedge Of paper or wood. lest
1t should roll over on the reptile, and fas-
tening string to it in order that it may be
removed without difficulty at the earliest
possible opportunity.
One of the most poisonous snakes ever
possessed was brought to mo in brandy
bottle, and after twisting it and shaking it
and tapping it for an hour without avail, I
grew impatient. The tail just then happen
ed to protrude about half an inch, SO
seized it with my fingers, and, rapidly
drawing the body through the other hand,
had the reptile safely in my grip behind his
death dealing jaws, now distended with an
ger. But the slide of my snake-b box was
shut over. and l could not draw it back
with one hand; SO 1 was obliged to let him
slip back into the bottle again. Having set
the box all in order for the newcomers re
ceptiOn, once more essayed to lay hold of
him by the tail; but now, most provokingly,
no amount of manmuvering would bring
that useful member to the top. Another
half hours unsuccessful angling converted
my Impotence into desperation, and at
length, when / saw the tail about two inch
es from the mouth Of the bottle, stuck my
forefnger in recklessly to try to secure 1t.
That was hopeless, as I might have
known; but it c rtainly did cool my spine a
little when I discovered on attempting to
withdraw it, that my finger was jammed!

might, for the brute was raising its head,
and it's Pickering tongue was rapidly ep-
pr oaching the unhappy digit that involun-
tarily corked up its prison. gave final
tug, the violence of which nearly dislocated
all my phalanges; but it was no use, and
with a yell I raised the bottle high in the
air, intending to smash 1t on tho head Of nay
bunk. I distinctly felt the snake, momen-
tarily inverted, fall on the end of my finger,
but as I flung my hand up the bottle slip
ped off and fell on the deck behind me,
fortunately without breaking. By the time
picked it up the snake WAS half way out.

I had just time to thrust it into the box. If
I had not been Hurried, I should probably
have been able to extricate my finger with

About National Debts.

France enjoys the unenviable distinction
Of having the largest national debt in the
world, namely, e930, 1000, 600 ($4, $50, 00O,-
000;. Before the Franco German war Eng
land stood at the head Of the list her
debt being 9775, 100000. Germanys debt
amounts to the trifing sum of e46 900, 900.
Ru saia has e380,000,OO0, part of which,
like the whole of that of Germany, repre-
sents expenditures in the building of rail-
ways, and guarantees in that connection
given by the government. Austro- Hungary
has debt of 1862 0OO, 900, and Italy of
1856 900, OO0
The amount of Turkeys debt can hardly
be guessed. Dividing up these debts
among the various populations of these
countries, the Indebtedness per capita is in
France, s25; Great Britain, e23 los; Aus
tria e1o; Russia, "a; Germany, 81, and
Italy, Gl3.
The debt of the United States, less cash
in the treasury, on the first of January was
$1,765, 991 TIT, against an aggregate of
$2,7S4, O73, 1873 on the LIST of July, 1865,
showing decrease of more than thou
sand millions of dollars during the inter.
vening fifteen years and half.

sayed to speak. But Fogg checked him

20 Bright Journalists OH Guiteau.

q. ". Grady in the Atlanta Constitution.
k;tilso Hutchins had said to me with that
fine emphasis for which he is famous: His
eye is wonderful one. 1t is not the eye
Of u wild beast, but it is the eye of hu-
man being with savage beast behind it,
glazing at you with it." I was at some
p'ias to justify this picturesque ststement,
but confess was unable to do do. I saw
10 savage beast behind Guiteau's eye, nor
any trace of one. I only saw a furtive, cum
mig eye, with scared, huated look in
it that the fearless Inconsistencies of in
sanity never gives to its subjects.
The other opinion with which found my
self burdened came from Henry Watterson,
who had written: HE is weird and
wizened apothesis of dead beatism." am
unable to say whether I saw this in Guiteau
or not. I don't think I would have known
what it was if had seen it. So that Mr..
Watterson may have been right. Certainly
no one can ever rove that he was wrong.
AS for me, it struck me that Guiteau was
IL e brightest man in the court room. That
Re should be hung there ia no doubt.
That he will be hung there is scarcely
less.
