Salt fol Wheat Fields.

Salt is used rs fertilizer, and usually with
beneficial effect on crops. 1t Is known, how,
ever, that a too liberal application of 1t will
destroy vegetation. 1t is applied sometimes
on the growing crop in spring, but usually on
the field and worked into the soil previous to
seeding. 4 much larger quantity may be
used when worked into the soil than when ap.
piled directly to the erop 800 or 400 pounds
per acre may be sown broadcast on the crop,
though one barrel of $50 pounds is about the
usual quantity used, aud three or four times
that quantity may be worked into the soil with
safety. Used in this way it is beneficial in de
stroying insets and worms IN the soil, as well
as TO promote growth and maturity OF the crop.
II is not claimed that salt Is direct fertilizer

plant food to any great extent Last season
one of my neighbors used over four tons of
salt on thirty acres of wheat land, worked into
the soil before seeding, for which he thinks
the crop was much improved; the yield was
over thirty bushels per acre Of superior quail.

with salt is usually brighter and cleaner of

A Scorpion Under the skin.

There is q colored man IN New London
Mo-, who for years has claimed to have a scor.
pion under his skIn and that 1t crawled from
place to place over his body few .ays since
Drs. Sprague and Rails, of London, a couple
of scientists, coaxed the man to submit to a
surgical operation for the removal of the AMI.
NAL. They distinctly traced the animal under
the mans skin from his waist over his left
shoulder, and thence back again to q position
between the thigh and knee of the right leg.
Clasping the limb above and below where the
animal seemed TO be, they administered chloro
form to the man, and making an incislon in
the leg, took therefrom living reptle-not a
scorpion, but something like lizard. 1t was
placed IN a vial of alcohol, and ihe doctors
have had several offers for Its purchase.

sprang up.
Mrs, Mackay, the Partisan lady whose hus'

Don Cameron, whose wife Is considered to
be one Of the brightest ladies in Washington,
if not the leader of the administration society
there, was the poor daughter Of Judge Sher.
man, of Cleveland.
George Riggs, who recently died in Wash

Gil, Lord Baltimore
Old Commodore Vanderbilt married his
cousin when he was rough cat boat sailor IN
the creeks and coves about New York. HIS
wife was devotcdly attached to HIM and bore
him many children; but his treatment of her
was very variable.
The late Colonel Thomas A. Scott, havr
married early in life and become IA wdowUI
with children, married considerably later the
daughter of respectable editor in Plttsburg,
who was very well bred, but had | think,
earned her living for a while as an amateur
artist.
Jay Gould has plain, sensible family, to
which he gives all the attention compatible
with his vast schemes and specuIations. He
seems to have adop'ed the policy of bringing
his children up simply and naturally, instead
OF Haunting their names in the newspapers as
bridesmaids, best men, party queens, etc.
Stephen Girard, the rich Phlladelphian, who
was a curious compound of the miser and the
philanthroplst, the lnfidel and The Quaker,
married unhappily, and according to general
tradition was very unkInd to his wife. Yet
ne left the hest handled estate ever given in
this country, or perhaps in any other, to a
charitable need.
Senator Gwin, who is still living, is sale TO
have discovered his wife in Kentucky at the
washtub as he rode up to his house to get his
dinner on his way TO Tennessee and Mississp.
pI Gwin after he had ridden a whole day on
the way toward home, drove back again, in.
troduced himself, and proposed to marry her
then and there.
Commodore GarrIsOn's marriage in New
York attracted great attention. He was quite
an old man, but a splendid looking one; and
meeting at Saratoga Il young lady of ST. Louis,
who was considerably younger than either of
the commodore's children, he proposed to her
and was accepted. Yet, notwithstanding the
disproportlon of age, the commodore is IN
probably as robust health as his wife today.

The icemen Will have TO work hard To Sc.
cure u harvest tor rain wall fall before Sunday
There will probably be sleighing on Friday
of this week.
February will be month long to be remem
bered on account of its frequent and heavy
snow storms and sudden falls Of temperature
More snow will fall during that month for
this section than has fallen for the past two
years combined. 1t will enter warm and
slushy till the 9Th, when 1t Will change sud.
denly, Snow storms will occur about the 9TH,
sth, 10th, 18th, ODD, and eth. Rain will fall on
the Sd, l1th 18th, oath. The average tempera.
ture will be lower than during the previous
month The winds will be very high from
northwest, shifting suddenly to northeast,
The ladies would do well to take few inch
es off the rims OF their hats, or they will need
an extra pair of hands. Parties having goods
to chip west should hurry them off before the
snow bockades set H. Rubber boots will be
IN great demand. There will not be much
skating on account OF frequent storms. Shows
will increase in the Ohio Valley, and the
heavy rains will move to the South Atlantic
states, anu the temperature In that SectlOn VIII

will be from the southeast. In the Eastern
States the prevailing winds Will be from the
north, with very cold weather and heavy
SHOWS
In Canada the weather will be very severe,
and the temperature will be lower than 1t has
been tor many years, and railroad traffic Will
be nearly suspended The coal dealers should
hasten the transportation OF coal without de
lay.
All heavy gales will be preceded 4S hours
by northern lights, aud, If the bright rays
drift from east to west, the gale will be north
east; but it they drift from west to east the
gale will be northwest. The weather will hs un-
usually stormy throughout the country, except
IN Colorado, where 1t will be very cold. The
temperature will he unusually high except in
the Gulf States, with heavy south winds.
The following rules may be of value to
many If they will observe them: First, when
the wind shifts from west to north and from
north to east, it Will ram IN less than AZ hours,
no matter how cold II may be- Second, when
the wind shifts from west to south and from
south to east, there will be n snow storm, and
although it may be warm, the temperature will

medicine, and the art of preserving the health
So numerous were his works that his rooms
were filled with them, and 80 successful was
his practice that he was applied to for counsel
and advice from all parts Of the kingdom. At
last, after long and useful life, he lay upon
his death bed, and his great library of hun,
dreds of hugh volumes was about to be be.
queathed to and divided among the royal doc
tors surrounding his bedside one volume 10
each, with the injunction to study 1t carefully.
The doctors, each in his anxiety to get the big
gest book, rushed pel.mell to the great man s
library, and very soon nothing was left for the
faithful physician who had renamed with his
master but the Oldest and smallest book of all,
containing but a single leaf.
The royal doctors hurried home, elated with
their heavy loads but what was their surprise
and chagrin on opening them to fluid nothing
at all written inside. Blank paper only! In
the smallest or one leaf book was written all
that the great man had found really worth
preserving, and this was simply these three
