Thirteen Years without Sleep.

Thomas EcElrath. of Maiboro, whose
case attracted wide attention three years
ago because he said he had not slept q
wink in ten years, is still living without
sleep. He says he has not closed his
eyes in sleep in the last three years, and,
indeed, that he has not slept at all fol-
thirteen years. His neighbors say that
they have been at his house at all hours
of the day and night, and have invaria-
bly, found him alert and wide awake.
He is member of the Presbyterian
church of the place, and his word is
trusted by all who know him. He is in
good health and weighs over two hun
dred pounds. He Is over seventy and
does not work, except on small jobs
about his house. He says he takes nc
comfort at all in life, but has given up
taking all medicine, and waits "for the
the coming of the Lord. Utica Herald

Mixed Farming.-In discussion al
farmers club meeting in Chautau.
qua. New York, the president sensibly
said: We cannot always follow the bus
mess that suits us best. ] prefer grain
raising; but on my farm think there is
more money in mixed farming. We
need sheep to pasture our orchards and
the waste places on the farm; also the
cows to eat the refuse fruit, and to keep
mp the condition of the soil. In raising
fruit alone the soil would have to be
kept good by fertilizing. which would
be too expensive. Combine the three
and when one fails we have the others
to depend upon.

There is no question of more vital i'm
Christians, than that of education.
Hence, among our highest duties is one
we owe to our schools. Too many
,1beople think that they discharge this
duty if they pay their school tax
promptly, are civil to the teacher, and
perhaps visit the school semi occasion
ally; and with them to visit the school,
IS to spend few minutes, possibly half
an hour in the school room, seated in
the post of honor, to be entertained, and
this must be public day.
It is not sufficient that every parent
and citizen use all his influence to Sc
cure teacher competent to give good
instruction mentally, morally and physi.
cally. '7e
he must then seek to show both
teacher and pupils that he is deeply in
terested.
One of best ways of showing this, is
by visiting the school frequently. Few
people understand how to do this. The
only way to visit the school is to visit it,
not make fashionable call. If a school
visitor wishes to know what kind of work
the school is doing, he must take seat
among the scholars or in some out OF
the way corner and become q learner; he
must spend half day or a whole day
thus, and he must go frequently enough
to remove the constraint which the pres
ence of a stranger would naturally throw
over the scholars. In this way he can
learn the true workings of the school,
and its strong and weak points. Thus
he will soon be in position to sympa-
thize with both teacher and pupils, and
also to offer friendly criticism to each.
He will thus learn the needs of the
school, and can make his efforts for it
etfectual. because in the right direction.
Moreover, by thus visiting the school.
he encourages the teacher, and i'm
presses the scholars with the importance
Of the school work, and thus strengthens
the teachers influence.

A Fighting Octopus
over.

The octopus Is, without doubt, the
mot disagreeable creature to be met
with in the ocean. They are found in
nearly all waters, from the Coast of
Maine in and on the borders of the Gulf
Stream to the cold waters of the North
Pacific Ocean. Imagine bag of flesh,
over which waves of color are constant
ly sweeping, and from which eight arms
radiate like the arms of a gigantic spi-
der, their under sides lined with sharp
suckers, and between them, where they
join the body, two parrot-like bills. On
each side of the lower part of the bag
put two fierce green or yellow eyes,
give the whole mass n tremulous mo-
ton, and you have a general idea of the
appearance of the octopus a second
cousin of the giant squid. In size they

Several years ago party from New

flow to Prevent Forelt Fires

The destruction wrought by forest
fires on Long Island lately shows again,
and for at least the thousandth time in
the HISTORY of the present generation,
how careless the American farmer is oi
such of his ground as is covered with
trees. The "forests" that burn are
generally small tracts of wooded land
which are parts of farms, but as they
are utterly let alone except when the
farmer wants fire wood, they are full
of underground, brush heaps and dead
leaves. Forest fires are scarcely ever
heard of i'll Europe, for the poorest and
busiest peasant who owns a bit of wooded
land finds time TO cut away the uhder-
growth, remove dead trees ana fallen
boughs, and even to cart away some of
the leaves to his compost heap. German
and English farmers who come here
begin by preserving their wooded lands,
but too often they fall into the shIftless
American way, and frequently they pay
the penalty. Any farmer can prevent
fires on his own forest land; he can clear
away underground and leaves, the work
being easiest done in winter, when he
has little to do on any other part of his
farm, or he can fence this ground and
turn his cattle into it to eat or break
down small growth and trample leaves
to pieces and into the ground. Both
plans have been tried with great success
and neither is costly. Of course in
great wooded tracts of hundreds and
thousands of acres such preventives
would be impracticable, but these are
not the lands most frequently burned
over.

A Hard Trial.

Last winter a great religious revival
was held in a certain Ohio neighbor-
hood, and several good men brought
all their influence to bear on a certain
farmer named Harris.
After many efforts he was brought to
the anxious seal. and then they had the
happiness of Learing him announce that
he felt himself saved. In the course of
three or four days the minister met him
and asked:
"Weu, brother Harris, how do you
feel?"
"Oh, kinder plaguey mean" was
the reply.
"You do! What is the trouble?"
"Well, hadn't found the Lord over
twenty minutes before I run across
fruit tree agent who beat me out of fif.
teen dollars last year. There I was,
ready to fly into the gates of Heaven,
anduthere he was, chucklIng to think of
how he worked offa lot of crab-apple
trees on me for new kind of pear! I
couldn't even break his neck, and the
old woman she got In and said I was
allus gittin' in box and the hull thing
has sorter stirred me up till I can't say
whether I'd rather lick lightning-rod
man or be an angel"

Wine I'm Virginia.

Virginia is another State in which
wine growing has become promising
industry. The industry was commen-
ced in 1869 by two Germans on favora-
bly, located hill sides of the Blue Ridge
range, and the crops were disposed of
in New York. By 1877 these pioneers
were producing nearly 5000 gallons of
VINE annually. Last year they had
thirty-seven acres under cultivation, and
turned out $500 gallons. This year
they expect to make out OF their own
grape crop, combined with those of
neighborlng vineyardists who have had
the good sense to initiate their example,
from 5000 to 10000 gallons, at first
they sold their wine through agents,
but now they have determined to be
their own middlemen, and are doing
we'll at it. The two counties of Nelson
and Albemarle at the present produce
together from $4,000 to 10000 gallons
annually.

Two-Handed Swords.

The cIaymore, once famous in Scottish
HISTORY, was very long sword, with
q bilt so large that it could be grasped
by both of the hands of the warrior
who welded it, when there was every
reason for the opposing soldiers to want
to get as far away as possible. Long,
two o-handed swords were in use in vari-
GUS parts of Europe during the Middle
Ages, but it is from Scotland that we
have heard the most about them. Some
of the German swords, used by the mer-
cenary soldiers in the French religious
wars, were enormous two-handed wea-
pons, with sharp po nts, jagged edges,
and great spikes near the base of the
blade; but these heavy swords were
used only by soldiers who were uncom-
monty strong and skillful; for any
awkwardness on the part of a man
swinging such tremendous blade was
apt to infict as much injury on his
companions as on the enemy. Some
of the long swords of the Middle Ages
were used more for show and Ger remony
than for actual service. The sword of
Edward the Third, which is preserved
in Westminster Abbey, is seven feet
long, and weighs eighteen pounds.
This, it is said. was carried before the
King in professions, and was probably
never used in any other way.
