A Jersey Joshua.

DIR. j. X. Yeager, of Burlington, N.
J., is known as the "Weeping Prophet"
He believes the mysteries of the future
are revealed to him, and mingles his
prophecies with tears. He does not
practice medicine, and 1t is doubtful
whether he deserves the title of doctor
at all. His business Is that of religious
book agent, and he maintains that he
can get the power at any time from
Heaven to make q person purchase one
of his books. Every sale he makes is
attributed by him to divine favor. One
of his claims is that he can stop a clock
at any time by merely commanding it
to cease ticking. He drives around in a
sulky, behind q worn-out horse which
he says he never has to harness. He
merely stands outside the barn-door and
orders the animal to come out. The
door at once opens, and the horse ap-
pears drawing the wagon already har-
messed. He relieves his wife from cook
ing meals, so he says, by simply re-
questing the meat to cook and the pota-
toes to boil. He took q great deal of
interest in the resent Guiteau trial and
became very much perplexed over the
testimony, spending several days in his
room seeking guidance in the matter.
Suddenly it flashed upon him from
above. The message informed him that
the assassin of the late President had
been crack-brained for two years. He
at once addressed letter to Judge Cox
conveying the information, and offering
to testify IN behalf of the prisoner on
the strength of his inspiration. He is
very much surprised because he has not
received a reply, and feels sure that the
answer must have miscarried.-N. Y.

Self Reliance on the Farm.

1t becomes the farmer to initiate ma
ture as far as he can successfully in her
best work, and take the hint from her
to improve the rest, which has been
done 70 some extent by observation and
practice. The philosophers invariably
90 to nature for instruction, and so
must the cultivator of the soil, who has
so much to do with nature, and in so
many ways. The physical progress of
the age is the application of nature s
principles; in other words, nature Is car
rying on her work more expediously
through the agency of man.
In this work which is now more than
ever demanded, the farmers interests
is the greatest, covering a larger, more
diversified field and requiring the en-
ployment of q greater number of prin-
cipals than any other department.
Every intelligent farmer can do some
thing here, whether on a small scale
specially directed. or in the regular
work of the farm. Indeed, the study of
ones farm, its varieties of soil and situ-
alton, and the products adapted to it, is
q necessity, and compels personal at
tention and investigation by the occu-
pant. Unexpected results are not un-
common in farming. The causes of the
results are to be inquired into, whether
favorable or unfavorable, so as to adopt
the one and avoid the other, which cam
not fail to be of advantage.
Armed with knowledge of the gen.
eral principal of farming, much can be
dope-in this way, especially where there
is a variety of soil and climate, as in the
eastern section of the country. The
prairies are more uniform. vet rnuch is
to learn there also. Every farne,
therefore should be his own instructor
must be to a certain extent-or he will
find himself left behind in this fast ad-
vancing age.-Country Gentleman.

St Nicholas for March.

The circus is ever fascinating sub
ject to young people, and the second
part of Mr.. Stoddard's article, "Men-
and-Animal Shows" in which he gives
a vivid account of one of these amuse-
ment towns on its travels, is, with it's
many elegant illustrations one of the
most prominent and entertaining fea-
lures of the March st. Nicholas. Poems
are contributed by Rose Terry Cooke
and Celia Thaxter. The present INSTALL
ment of ''The Hoosier School-boy" is Of
unusal interest, detailing how Jack and
his friends did 90 to school, spite of all
ODDS, and giving thrilling account of
a foot-race, in which the hero runs for
q five hundred dollar prize. ''The Drum-
mer-boy, +" IN the rifle-pits before Peters
burg, and "Donald and Dorothy" in
q novel fencin match, still closely hold
the attention of their friends. Mrs.
Clement, in her "Art and Artists
paper, writes of the painter Titan, and
. beautiful reproduction of his famous
portrait of himself forms the froutis-
piece illustration to the magazine.

The Louisyille Courier-Journal of a

The Louisville Courier-Journal of q
recent date says 1t is understood on
good authority that Harriet G. McLain,
the contralto of the Litta Concert Com
pany, Is negotiating with Mr.. S.aytons
the manager and proprietor of the same,
to permanently retire within a few
weeks from this fine organization. Miss
McLain's remarkable voice, splendid at
tainments and lovable character have
attracted the attention of some of The
leading musicians of the country, who
are deeply interested IN her future. It
Is confidently pi edicted that she will
equal, or indeed surpass, Cary. whom
she greatly resembles. 1t is stated that,
through the interest awakened in her
probable musical future among influen-
tial people, arrangements have been
made which will insure Miss McLain
seveaal years of study under the best
masters abroad and splendid career
on her return to this country.

Ihave known persons on market day
to go out and Kill twelve or fifteen fowls,
and to bring them into a room where
there would be half dozen women and
boys pulling a few feathers at time,
between their thumb and forefinger, to
prevent tearing them. Now, for the
benefit of such, 1 will give our plan:
Hang the fowl by the feet by small
cord; then with small knife give one
cut across the upper jaw, opposite the
corners of the mouth; after the blood has
stopped running in a stream, place the
point of the knife in the groove in the
upper part of the mouth, run the blade
up into the back part of the head, which
will cause twitching of muscles. Now
is your time, for every feather yields as
If by magic, and there is no danger of
tearing the most tender chick. Before he
attempts to flap you can have him as
bare as the day he came out of the egg.
