Lands are not drained simply to add

or to place your lands in condition to be
TILED by the least possible expenditure Of
time and means. These would indeed
be commendable objects. and might wei
engage your earnest and constant atten

farm well drained has gained o partial il
not entire immunity from certain dis
eases, and every farmer who builds hin
home, where he may eat and drink and
repose under his own vine and tree, =
on well drained land, takes thereby ar
extended lease of life, and adds security
to the happiness and health of wife and
children. -Dr0jaage Journal.

A Novel Wolf Trap.

Siberian wolves are caught in various
ways, sometimes by poisoned bait, and
again by traps. One of the commonest
kinds Of traps now in use is q large cir
cular pen, surrounded bya high wooden
fence. Outside Of this fence is another
similar one, perhaps two or three feet
distant from the first, and running en-
tirely around it. In the center of the
pen is placed a live deer or pig. In the
outer fence is small opening, the door
of which, swing inward, is left conyen-
iently and seductjvely open. The wolf
scents the live bait in the center Of the
pen, and after vainly endeavoring to leap
over the protecting barrier and get at it,
finds the door standing open, and at
once enters in. The passage between
the inner and outer fence is wide enough
to allow him to move ahead comfortably,
but is too narrow to admit of his turning
about.
Once in, he must keep going straight
ahead, and very naturally thinking that
in this direction lies his prey, he presses
on, licking his chops in anticipation Of a
rich feast. Having completed the circle
of his pen, he arrives at his starting point
andfinds his further progress completely
barred by the door which still stands
open as when he entered. Pushing
against this, he shuts it close in order to
get by. and has effectually made himself
prisoner. Then the crafty huntsman,
who has all the time been con-
cealed within, shoots or spears the
animal from the top of the
fence, draws his carcass within. so as to
save il, and opens the outer door again
SO as to welcome the next visitor.
When wolves are plenty. two men or
more ia one Of these pens have q very
busy time for number Of days, and are
scarcely able to slaughter or skin the
animals rs fast as they would like to rush
in unconsciously to their death. 1t not
unfrequently happens that the men are
kept in these pens for q number of days
at time, being unable to get out on &C
count of the wolves which surround
them, and would tear them to pieces the
moment they made their appearance. The
only thing for the men to do under such
circumstances is to consider themselves
in state of siege and to keep on trap
ping and slaughteriug until the animals,
starved out and disappointed. abandon
their position aud skurry off to another
part of the COT -ntry.--B Boston CONNER

back to his seat.
A recess was declared, and Smithers
hurried to the hotel to find every seat in
the dining-room full, and hundreds of
hungry delegates waiting outside. He
managed to get in after tedious waiting,
succeeded in getting ten cents worth
of dinner for one dollar, and hurried
back to the convention again. hungry
and tired. More motions and more
crossing the platform followed; rcsolu-
tons that he did not hear, and which he
would not have been able to understand
il he had heard, were passed amidst
much hand-clapping; few pantomime
speeches were made, and the conven-
ton was thing of the past. .
When Smithcrs got home, late that
evening, half furnished and utterly worn
out, and reflected upon the vicarious
part he had enacted in the drama of
Governor making, and upon his days
work lost, his railroad fare and hotel ex-
penses. he began to think that public
honors we're not altogether to his liking,
and he begged Mrs. S., who received
him with hundred questions on her
lips. not to say another word about the
distinguished honor that had been
vouchsafed them. He had had enough
of it, aud henceforth he should be will
ing to let others pluck the honors of pub
lie emolument.- II Boston Transcript.

Water as a Drink.

Many persons drink ordinarily as little
water as possible, and none at all at meal
times, because they suppose that water di-
lutes the gastric juice. Experiments, how
ever, show that diIution does not diminish
the power OF the gastric juice; and further
That water alone, as well as solid food,
awakens its secretion. A paper read by
DR.. Webster, Of Boston, at a meeting of a
learned medical society, took the ground
that water, used moderately at meals, is
beneficial, and that a large class of persons
drink too little. The result is, if too little
water is drank-especially if the person
eats heartily-the perspiration and the
kidney secretion are diminished. Not on
ly they; but the waste of the system, which
can be removed only in state of solution,
is not eliminated with sufficient regularity
and fullness, and the system becomes grad
ually clogged by it. The accum uation is
slight from day to day, but in time un-
pleasant symptoms are developed. These
symptoms are Of all Indefinite character
discomfort. even pain, sometimes in one
place and sometimes in another, constipa-
ton. and unhealthy hue of the skin. Pa
TENTS, said DR.. Webster. who drank no
