About two miles from town he sud-
denly checked his horse, gazed intently
on the ground and said: . Some fellow
has lost his saddle-horse here this MORN
ing"
There was no advertisement on any
of the trees Offering reward for lost
horse, and as there was no lost horse in
sight we were at a loss to understand
how, if horse was lost, our friend
could know SO much about it
The doctor inquired: How do you
know that a horse has been lost?'
Il see his tracks"
Are there not hundreds of horses
pasturing on the prairies, and how do
you know that this is not the track of
one of them?"
because he is shod. and the horses
herding on the prairies do not wear
shoes"
"How do you know that he is
saddle-horse and lostn'
IL see rope track alongside his
trail; the horse has saddle on, and the
rope hangs from the horn of the sad
die"
but why may he not be horse that
some one has ridden over this way this
morning. and why do you insist that it
is lOst?'
because, if man had been on his
back he would have ridden him on a
straight course. but this horse has
moved from side to side of the road as
he strolled along. and that is plain
sign that he grazed as he went and that
he had no rider
After that it would not surprise me-
said the doctor. III YOU were TO tell us
the age of the horse. and the name of
the owner"
"Well. that would not be very hard
10 do. There are signs that have told
me the owners name, and there are
other signs that, if had time TO exam
inc. would tell me his age | know he
is one of old man Pendegrast's horses.
Pepdegrast has large bunch of horses
down in the bottom. and an old nigger
down there does all his shoe NJ, and
shoes no other horses except his. So We
know his shoe track Just the same rs we
know hisbrand."
After this conviction on circumstan-
;ial evidence. it would not have seemed
extraordinary if the Remnant had given
us his opinion of the life and character
of our great-grandmothers, drawing his
conclusions from an examination of
some of our physical peculiarities.
II is wonderful how expert these men
become in reading what they call
..signs" on the prairie or in the woods.
No sign escapes their practiced eve; all

sions. The peculiar movement of IN

some other animal in the neighbor-
hood. A broken limb of tree,

quickly brought 10 maturity, than one
Of the strap-lcavcd varieties of turnips.
And on almost any place where vegeta-
bles are grown can be found at this sea-
son a piece of land where this crop can
be conveniently grown. The turnip
crop is often considered coarse and
common one, but We learn to appreciate
it when it cannot readily be obtained,
as was shown by the high rates paid for
the almost worthless foreign turnips
which were imported the past winter.
If it is intended TO raise turnips large
", and do the work of cultiyating by
horse power, the sowing should always
be done with that end in view. as in
field where such a crop is grown there
can be no greater mistake than that of
having the rows too close together. thus
preventing horse cultivation.
In the cultivation of all root crops the
soil should be fine, smooth and rich, the
latter being highly essential to the pro-
duction OF fine roots. The land should
also be as free from weeds and weed
seeds as possible. A noted onion
grower said, a few years since. that he
who plants onions on weedy ground
will repent it all summer on his hands
and knees; and the same is true in 4
measure of turnip culture. Turnip-
growers who desire the best results pre-
fer to have the soil for this crop prepared
few weeks or months ahead, in order
to have it thoroughly settled. They

Center Church.

Rev. Dr. Smyth Called to the Pastorate.
 At meeting of the members of Center church last evening it was voted to call the Rev. Dr. Newman Smyth to the pastorate of the church. Dr. Smyth was unanim ously recommended by the Committee on the Sup ply of the Pulpit, by the deacons of the church, and by the members of the Society's committee. It was also stated that Dr. Bacon had expressed a wish that Dr. Smyth should be chosen as his successor. The ballot by which Dr. Smyth was called was larger, with a single exception, than has ever been given in the case of anyone who has been called to the pastorate of the church, and the number of votes in opposition to his call was less than the number given against Dr. Bacon when he was chosen. The rule Of the church in regard to voting is that only adult male members are allowed to vote.
 Dr. Smyth's home is in Quincy, Illinois. He is brother of Professor Egbert C.. Smyth, of the Andover theological school, where, we believe, he received his theological training. He was last year chosen a professor in Bowdoin College, and declined the call, He is man of much culture and great men, tai and religious strength. He is the author of several books upon religious topics which have produced a marked impression upon re- Ggious thought Among these books are ''Old Faith in New Form" and "The Ortho- dox Theology of To-Day." He is brilliant writer, and both his books and his sermons contain much that is original and impressive He has singular felicity of speech, and his personal qualities are such as to attract all who come in contact with him.

Chin Smiths CAsa

A new phase in James (Chip) Smiths case seems to have been reached. State Attorney Doolittle seems to doubt the legality of the writ of error promulgated by majority of the Supreme Court judges, because to it the State of Connecticut is not made a party. This view, however, is strenuously opposed by Judge Blydenburgh and MT. Fox, who say that should the sheriff hang Smith next Fri day he would be guilty of murder. The attorneys also claim that as four out of the five judges hold that there is writ of error it is the business of the sheriff to find out from the judges what course he shall pursue. This he has done or will probably do at an early day. It is not at all likely that Smith will be hung on Friday of this week.
