Another. Fire.

About two O'Clock on the morning of the
Fourth our town was Weakened by an alarm
of fire to find the frame buildings occupied
by Mrs. lockwood and Mrs. Kingsley in
flames. The fire department was promptly
on hand, and by the greatest effort sue
ceeded in confning the fire to these two
buildings, though at times it seemed that
Mr.. Trips carriage shop must go. As it
was, the windows and roof on that side
were ruined. Mrs. lockwood had gone
to Elyria the day previous, and there was
no one in the building. Building and
goods were a total loss. Her goods, furni-
ture, clothing, etc, were insured for $4,000,
which will probably nearly cover the loss.
A portion of Mrs. Kingsley's goods were
saved. She had about 5000 insurance on
building and goods. The frequent rains
of the last few days, and light shower
prevailing at the time, aided materially in
preventing the spread of the flames.
The management Of the fire company
was worthy of great praise, and the wis:
dom of the organization of the fire depart
ment was again demonstrated, as many
thousands of dollars worth of property
must have been destroyed but for its
efforts. The origin of the fire is unknown.
When discovered it was mostly in the
north part of Mrs. Rockwood's building
1t was undoubtedly the work of an incen-
diary, as have been all the large fires we
have had for the past year and, hall,
though the motive is hard to divine.

WHY The Fixture D


Thirty years ago the Iowa farmer had
no trouble in raising twenty bushels per
acre of plump, heavy wheat. The
inquiry is made, what is the cause of
the gradual failure of this cropP Has
the climate changed, or Is the failure at
tributable to deterioration of tho
wheat? 1t is not either. 1t is the exhaus-
ton of the soil by cultivation and by the
washing of rains. For unnumbered
ages an annual coat of ashes had been
deposited upon our prairies by the
prairie fires. The alkali of these ashes
has been largely Incorporated in the
soil This Is one of the important fac
tors in successful wheat growing. The
exhaustion of this element in the soil,
which is rapidly done by the cultivation
of the cereals, causes weak stalks,
shriveled grains, blight, etc. But, says
a farmer, when new prairie is now
broken up, it ia to raise such wheat
as it did twenty years ago. This is
true. But the Improvement of the
State has mainly ont q stop to prairie
fires, and the an. al deposit of ashes Is
not made on the broken prairie. The
alkai which wa deposited in the soil
twenty years a;-o has .eyaporated or
been carried Of by the heavy rains, a
little each year, and none being re-
tanned, it is now i!eaTly as devoid of this
essential element rs the cultivated fields.
So it may not be expected that, so far
as small grain is cp2cerned, our soil will
ever again produce profitable crops.
81 The same causesare destined to make
the situation in the future far worse in
Minnesota apd Dakota. Il The alkai
deposited by the autumsl fires in those
vast regions will soon be exhausted by
constant crops of wheat Reason and
the whole history of agriculture teaches
this. But when their soil is exhausted, /,
they have nothing to fall back on. 1t
is not corn region. Grass may flour
,ish there, and though grass may be
king, yet, grass alone makes poor
empire. To replenish these immense
fields with commercial fertilizers is i'm
possible; hence, until science shall ena-
bic us to make drafts at will on the
nitrogen of the skies, when ono
exhausted those fields will have to be
abandoned forever for the rich product
which is drawing the world into the
Northwest.-{0VG State Register.

When Grass should be Cut.

When we consider that in an acre of
grass, yielding a good crop, there is, If
cut at the proper time, generally over
two tons of water, there need be no
surprise at the tardiness with which this
water is got rid of during hay harvest
in average weather. When the atmos-
phere is damp, evaporation goes on very
slowly, if ut all hence it is well to con-
sider whether, as mere matter of con-
venince, entirely outside of the question
OF the greater value of early-cut as
compared to Iate-cut hay, it is not the
wiser plan to cut grass before the sum-
mer showers set in. 1t is well known
that prior to the excessive heat usually
present between the first day of July
and the middle of August we are quite
likely to have clear skies and fair good
drying weather. 1t is found infinitely
easier to save early-cu5 hay in such
weather, though containing over two
tons of water to the acre, than to save
it later in the season when showers are
more frequent.
AS an example take timothy, in a
climate where it blossoms in June, cut
ting is just as it is about to blossom, and
before the summer heat aud rains have
set in, it will be more easily made, and
yleiu lnnnltely DetIer nay, tnan Wnen
. allowed TO approach ripeness. Low, fiat
lands, such as are frequently devoted to
timothy, are quite liable to hold water
upon the surface after the summer rains
commence, greatly to the .detriment of
the prospective hay crop. On all such
lands grass should be cut early, for the
reasons above given, as well as for the
added reason that when low-lying
meadows are flooded, a greater or less
amount of sand and soil is incorporated
with the crop, greatly to its detriment.
When grass is cut in the lowering
stage, the very large amount of water
contained therein holds nutritive ele-
ments in solution. These remain in the
plant, though the water is evap-
Grated in the curing process Rules
that apply 10 the grasses apply equally
to the saving of wheat, and other small
grains, though we are held within a
close limit as to the latter, being COM
PEELED to cut when the grain is in the
proper stage of ripeness. With the
grasses there is more latitude within
which good hay may be made, yet we
give ourselves too great range in this
particular. Li0e Stock Jour

Aids for Deaf Persons.

In store window in Broadway,
where dazzling collection of spectacles,
q variety of ear-trumpets, and several
dozen opera-glasses are displayed, a
number of ordinary-looking canes and a
commonplace-looking umbrella stands
in the corner. A placard affixed to one
of the canes deSignates it as an acoustic
cane. Another placed on the umbrella
conveys the information that with the
assistance of the acoustic umbrella a
deaf person can hear conversation when
the person speaking is at a distance. A
second inspection of the canes after
reading the placards discloses the fact
that they consistof bamboo sticks with a
vanished black metal top and very
small horizontal piece for q handle.
A salesman in the store exhibited a
cane to a Tribune reporter, and twisting
it in his hand disclosed a row of holes
encircling the black metal. Placing the
same horizontal piece in his ear, in the
eazy and natural way that some men
put the handle of cane in the mouth,
he assured the reporter that his voice
was so loud that he could hardly endure
it. He then showed small aperture
through the horizontal handle. This con-
nected with an ear-trumpet ingenious
ly arranged In the top piece of the cane.
The rep rter then held the handle OF
the cane to his ear. 1t sounded as o
sea shell would. When the salesman
spoke his voice was increased several
times its volume. The chief value OF
the invention lies in the fact that the
cane or umbrella may be used without
/ betraying the fact of the owners deaf
ness.
"It is wonderful" continued the
clerk, how much people dislike to ad-
NIT that their hearing is defective.
They come in and ask to look at ear
trumpets for friends. We know that
they want them for themselves. People
who are hard of hearing are just as
numerous as persons who are near
sighted. If the wish to ignore deafness
was not so pronounced, ear-trumpets
would be as common as spectacles.
"We have sold thousands of these"
continued the storekeeper, showing a
miniature silver ear-trumpet, calculated
to fit inside the ear. s'They are popu-
lar because they can be used without
exciting remark"
Another miniature ear-trumpet was
shown, made from two metals, the union
of which produced electricity intended
to have vivifying influence on dead or
dying nerves. The Appliances for the
relief of deafness are all costly. The
canes are $50 q piece, and the miniature
ear-trumpets 50 a pair.-N. =. Tribune,

Obituary.

LEW WESLEY FrrT was born in Riehland County,
Ohio, October 8, 1883.
He was the eldest son Of Wesley and Roseltha
Pitts, and with his parents removed to Pittsheld,
Lorain County, Ohio, in 1865. He was drowned
while bathing in a pond near Wellington, June
% 1882.
His education was received in the district schools
and in the public schools OF Wellington. BY dill
gent application during the several terms spent in
the Wellington schools he mastered the science OF
accounts and laid the foundation of thorough
business education. Adding to this scrupuious
honesty and integrity, he was not only adapted to
manage extensive business interests successfully,
but also inspired all with whom he came in con-
tact with the implicit confidence in his ability
and honesty
The greater part Of his life was spent with his
parents upon the farm, but during the summers Of
1850 and 1881 he was employed in the ice business
in the city Of New York. During the latter season
he had the entire management OF the business OF
his employer. His change of life from country TO
city was not attended by any of the disastrous
suits moral character frequent in the cases Of
young men making such q change of residence.
Persons acquainted with the demoralizing infu-
ences existing in New York will more highly ap-
preciate his moral character from the following
remark OF an old resident OF the city who was &c
quainted with him during his residence there:
New York does not possess attractions enough
10 turn Levi aside from the high standard OF morals
established in his rural home in Ohio under the
training and influence of his parents"
During the past winter he had the management
OF an extensive lumber business in Massachusetts,,
from which he was called by the illness Of his
grandfather, Mr.. Levi Rowell, Of Wellington, who,
at his death in March last entrusted him with the
management and settlement of his estate, which
position he filing TO the entire satisfaction Of
all concerned until the occurrence of his untimely
death.
In January, 1881, he made profession OF re-
ligjon, united with the NJ, L. Church at Pittsheld
and up to his death continued, both by profession
and life, to give evidence OF his true Christian
character.
In the death OF this young man it may be truly
said the family has lost faithful SON and loving
brother, the Church an earnest and promising men,
Der, and the State respected and worthy citizens.
But while we mourn the loss Of one so true and
noble, our consolation is that he has thus early
reached the goal Of truest manhood-the rest and
glory Of the Heavenly Jerusalem, the city OF our
God
Thou art gone to the grave, and its mansions for
saking
Perchance thy weak spirit in fear fingered long;
| But the mild rays OF Paradise beamed on thy
waking
And the song which thou heardst was the sera-
phims' song.

PIMA INDIAN AGENCY, June 16, 1882.
DEAR ENTERPRISE. - Grandma Trip

boys and girls in Wellington to read, but
! am only seven years old and it may not
be good enough. We live right among the
Pima Indians. The white people are
many miles away, but we are not afraid.
There are mountains all around. Those
far off look blue. In the level places it is
sandy and it rains only in August and
December. On the desert nothing grows
but cactus, sage brush and mesquit trees
They are all small, you can look right
over them and see great ways off, and
everything looks near. The Apache noun
tains are 100 miles away and we can see
them. The Indians farm and work just
as they do at home, but they don't make
cheese. They dig bitches from the Gila
river to their land and this is the way they
get water TO make their wheat and barley
grow. They raise a great many beans and
their water-melons are very big and nice.
They use old fashioned plows, as old as
Moses. The Chief, Anton, and a few
others have wagons. The rest have 10

ponies. They ride 80 miles day and do
not get tired. / used TO think all the In
dians lived in tents, but the Pimas don't
They get poles out of cactus trees and with
sticks and mud, make houses. They only
have one door and they have TO stoop
down to get in. They have no windows
or ehimneys, but they are warm in Win
ter and in Summer they live under a mud
roof open on all sides. The squaws do
most all the work. They brown wheat

tween stones. They put this in water and
eat it. They call it pinola. They like
meat and eat horses. / go to school with
the Indian boys and girls. When school is
we all go in swimming in the Gila river,
even little bits of Indians can swim like
ducks. They do not quarrel or fight.
They make bows and arrows to kill snakes
with. They can run very fast. They
like to rob birds nests. In most things
they are good. Grandma Trip has sent
Us THE ENTERPRISE for long time. 1t
comes every week, and we like it.

A Talented SMindIer.

A few days ago an elegantly dressed
lady called on one of the best known
mad-doctors in Paris, and in a voice
broken with sobs, exclaimed: "Doctor,
you are my only hope now- Ny poor
son is n monomaniac; he is quite harm
less; his idee fire is that he is cashier
in bank, and to everybody he meets
he presents bill or account and de-
mands payment. He has already got
himself and me into serious difficulties,
and don't know what to do" And
here the tears began 10 course each 9TH
er down the fair pleader's cheeks. The
doctor did his best to cheer the unhappy
mother, asked her various questions,
and finally gave some hope of curing
the boy. She dried her tears and said
she would leave her son in his hands.
ssI will bring him to you tomorrow;
but, oh doctor, the separation will be
cruel.'' Next morning she appeared
with the boy. ssTen your MASTER" she
said to the servant who opened the door,
ssthat the person he expects is here,n
and, taking a parcel from her sons
hands, told him to wait few minutes.
She then retired by "a side entrance
which the doctor had shown her and
had advised her to pass in order to avoid
q mournful, and, perhaps, exciting fare
well with her son. Quarter OF an hour
passed, the doctor entered the waiting
room, and the young man presented his
account. "Quite right, my lad, l will
settle it with you directly" and he felt
the young mans pulse. "Normal
pulse" says the man of science. "My
aocount," says the young man. "My
master will be uneasy; please give me
the money at once" But the doctor
gazed fixedly at him, and tried to feel
his pulse. ''Let gol" exclaimed the
monomauiac, getting into passion.
"Pay me at once, and don't make fool
of YOURSELF" "Yiolent attack" says
the doctor, calmly, and he pulled his
bellrope rather violently. 'The shower
bath," he explained to his two attend
ants; and in twinkling the young man
was stripped and q stream of ice-coid
water pouring over him. He howled,
| he kicked, but uselessly. When the
doctor came to see the effect of the
| operation he was much surprised TO
| find his patient madder than ever, VOW
ing vengeance at one moment and the
next imploring his torturers to send to q
| jeweler in the Rue de Ia Paix and ask
him to come and release him. When
| the doctor heard the word s'jeweler' a
| light broke upon him. BE dispatched
an attendant to the Rue de la Paix, and
In few minutes the jeweler appeared
upon the scene. He turned somewhat
pale when matters were explained TO
him, for he saw himself robbed of 25, 900
francs by a most ingenious chevaliere
dindustrie. She had chosen jewelrY to
that amount, but, not having the money
with her, she had said: "Let your clerk
come with me; I live in the Avenue
t'Eylau, and my husband will pay the
account. ."-London Life.
