Jay Gould's Son as a Pugilist.

N. Y. Letter TO Washington Star.
Young Gould is becoming quite a
man-about,town, and may be seen at
boxing matches and similar places of
amusement. His tastes are SO strong
in this direction that he is under the
instructions of professional pugilist.
Billy Madden, Sullivan's trainer, in
the manly art of self-defense. lhis
may not be altogether a matter OF
taste, as his fathers misfortunes NAV
have suggested it as wise precaution.
This expert does double duty. Be.
sides instructing young Gould in his
art he shadows Jay Gould himself
and the man who would attempt te
waylay the railroad magnaUe wonld
fall into horny hands. This nervous.
ness on the part of Mr.. Gould dates
from the time Major Selover avenged
himself by picking him up and
throwing HIM over the railing in
front of barber shop. He has moi
yet recovered from the fright, although
he and Major Selover were friend,

always the resort which is made bv

the Levy Court must live up 10 the

law. There is no use in making a Law
and then not enforcing the penalty
The penalty for the non-payment o.

Let the Frost Help You.

Few fully appreciate how much a
freezing of the ground does to set at lib-
erty the plant food locked up lla almost
oil soils. Water, in freezing expands
about one-eighth of its bulk. and with
tremendous force. Water, if confined in
the strongest rock and frozen. will burst
il asunder The smallest particles Of
soil, which are in fact only minute bits
Of rock, as the microscope will show, If
frozen while moist are broken still finer
This will go on all winter in every part
of the field or garden reached blythe
frost; apd as most soils contain more or
less elements that al growing plants or
crops need, good freezing is equisa-
lent to adding manure or fertilizers.
Hence it is desirable TO expose as much
of the soil as possible to frost action, and
the deeper the better, for the lower soil
has been less drawn upon, and is richer
in plant food. Turn up the soil this
month wherever practicable. If thrown
into ridges and hoIlows in field or gar
den. the frost awill penetrate SO much
deeper. Further, plowing or spading the
soil now exposes insects and weed roots
to killing by freezing. Still further,
soils thrown mp loosely viii dry out
earlier IN spring and admit earlier work
ing. which IS often great gain when a
day or two may decide IN favor of sue
cessfnl crop. American Agriculturist.
