A Nocturnal Rambic and What Csmo

'Some geuius-we suspect him to be-
long to the jovial order of humamty-has
said: '.The day to drone and dream. the
night to learn and rsmble." We do not
propose to dispute thus worthys view OF
the matter, but present herewith the ex-
perience Of Philadelphia journalist, Mr..
William Ii. Cunnington, 17l2 North
Twentieth street, one OF whose nocturnal
rambles he thus refers to, beginning his
narration rather peculiarly, however: II
am not rheumatic, and have been trou-
bled vefv little with bodily pains. Last
Tuesday morning experienced very an
noylng stiffness of the neck, which grew
worse as the day wore on. Toward eve
ming it became very severe, and l could
scarcely turn my head in any direction.
Arriving home at tea time it was with
difficulty that could eat my meal. My
wife wanted to rub my neck with st,
Jacobs Oil, but refused, sayIg Thought
the affection would soon pass away. Tea
over, against the remonstrances Of my
family, left sme to ramble toward the
new Chestnut-Street Opera House, about
two and half miles from my residence.
l started IN the midst of heavy snow
storm, and remained at the theatre until
the close of the performance, although l
could feel my neck getting worse and be-
coming very painful. Leaving the play
the trouble came to reach home. The
storm continued; the car in which | was
became blocked in nearly every square, q
cold current of air swept through the car,
and l did not reach my home until toward
a. M, by which time my neck had be-
come absolutely rigid. Then consented
to the use Of St. Jacobs OIL, which my
wife applied two or three times before
arose. / continued its use that day and
by evening was free from pain. and the
next morning l amused myself by twist
ing my neck in any direction that suited
me, and not a vestige Of stiffness remained.

AGRICULTURE.

THINNING CoRN.-A farmer planted
some corn on a piece OF light, SANDY iana'
and to keep of the crows, resorted 70 tse
device of putting q string around the neid
There proved to be more land than string
and he enclosed as large an area as ne
could with that length of string In the MID
die of the field, leaving a margin on the
outside unprotected. The wary birds fearing
a trap, aid not venture inside the inclosure
but took liberties outside OF IT. When
crows thin corn they are apt to overdo tae
thing. but in this case 1t was go 1udlclous-
ly done that the owner found at harvest
that be had bet er corn where they thinned
1t SO thoroughly than where he neglected.
to do 1t himself. 1t often happens that
when you are planting corn. if you are In
hurry. you put all the way from focr 10
ten grains in hill, thinking, perhaps, that
some of it will not come up, and II there
happens to be more than necessary you
can pull 1t out when you are hocing. But
il takes time 10 thin corn properly, and
more than one farmer finds it difhcult To
get it done al all by those who are dong
his work. It Is generally thought that
where more than four stalks are left in
a hill there may be more fodder, but 1t is
at the expense Of the grain, and many far
mers who base their calculations on abOu!
the amount ot grain they will harvest upon
the amount of fodder growing, will be Ia

She Won His Money.

1t is not many years ago that all classes
of persons in the Southwest except cler
gymen, and, perhaps, prominent church
members, seemed possessed by q mania
for horse-racing. A stranger, If well
mounted, could scarcely ride Up to a cross
road store but half dozen loafers would
propose q race between his horse and some
nag Of local reputation 1t was during this
period that the Rev. Mr.. Pierson, an agent
of the American Bible Society, rode one
day into a celebrated watering place in
that section. 'Jenny" his horse attracted
general admiration.
MIR. Pierson wrote his name on the hotel
register without the prefix of ''Rev.," and
was washing himself, when stage driver
rushed up to him saying:
'Mr. PIersen, will you allow your horse
to RUM 1he money is up''-and he shook
in the unknown clergyman's face a mass
of bank bills.
mo, SIR" said Mr.. Pierson, startled at
the uHclerical suggestion, and turning
away to his room to prepare Ior supper.
When the supper bell rang, Mr.. Pierson,
as he stepped out on the piazza was met
W poiuy Hao, VIM, III d Scuticuudhy
manner SAID:
81 hope, sir, you will allow your mare
to run. As soon as you rode up offered
to bet two hundred and fifty dollars that
she would outrun anything here, and the
money is up. am judge of horses,
and if you will ,et her run, | am sure to
win"
DO you think, sir, it will do for s
Presbyterian minister 10 commence horse
racing so soon after reaching the Sprlngsl"
The men was too much surprised to re-
ply, and Mr. Pie, son went into the dining
room. 81 wish 10 apologize, sir, said the
man, as MIR. Pierson came out; 81 beg
your pardon. sir; l assure you, sir, that
nothing would induce me knowingly 10
insult clergyman.
II am CERTAIN" replied the minister,
that no insult was attended, and therefore
there is no pardon to be granted"
The following winter, Mr.. Pierson rode
up to blacksmith shop in another part of
the county. Wasn't you at the Springs
last summer with that marc,' asked the
blacksmith as he came out.
'.Yes SIR"
''Well," and the smith, leaning upon
the mares neck, patted her affectionately.
'tLey got her out, preacher, and run her,
anyway. And, preacher, she beat, she
did. She won his mOney!" and the smile
of pleasant recollection lighted up his
sooty face.

i Should Smile.

Mr.. Topnoody came in late to supper,
the other evening, and his wife had been
keeping it on the steve Tor him an hour, al
least: and she was not any happier for the
loving ministration. Topnoddy saw the
state of affairs, and when he sat down to
the table he thought he would make things
pleasant for her, so he cheerily began:
81 am little late, my dear, but was
engaged down town In a matter pertaining
to the city government, and couldn't get
home. By-theway, my dear, what do

ped Mrs. Topnoddy, like bunch of shoot

"Well, no." replied Topnoddy; ''not

That's a good thing for some poor
woman
'.But was not talking about that, angel
mine. simply asked what you thought
of his reform movements"
What are they? Is there anything in
them about reforming men who come late
TO their meals, who won't cut the kInclIng
wood, nor bring in the coal, nor carry a
bucket of water, nor fssten the boards on
the back fence, nor get the marketing,
nor stop talking city government when
they ought to talk home government, nor
read their newspapers while their poor
wives are Shaving their lives out cooking
for them, nor try TO boss the house when
the wife knows best what should be done,
nor do forty dozen other things they
shouldn't do2 l ssy, is this in them} If 1t
amt, he'd better shut up shop and retire,
and let a woman run the machine awhile.
| can tell you, Topnoddy, if was in there

Then she went out into the kitchen for
something, and, while she was gone, Top
noddy drew long breath and sighed:

When The Culture girls of Boston came

Nobody knows where the potato came
from originally. 1t has been found, appar-
emily iDdl genous, In many parts of the
world. MIR. Darwin, tor instance, found
it wild in the Chinese Archipelago. Sir
w. j. Hooker says that 1t Is common at
Valparaiso. where it grows abundantIy on
the sandy Ellis near the sea- In Peru and
other parts of South America it appears to
be at home: and it is a noteworthy fact
that Mr.. Darwin should have noted it both
in the humid forests of the Chinese Archi-
pelaso and among the central Chilian
mountains, where sometimes rain does not
fail for six months at a strelch. 1t was to
the colonists whom Sir Walter Raleigh
sent out IN ElIzabeth's reign that England
is indebted for potatoes. Herrlot, who
came out with these colonlsts, and who
wrote an account OF his travels, makes
what may, perhaps, be regarded as the
earliest mention of this vegetable.

To Grow Nut BEARING TREES The
black walnut and shelIbark hickory may
be successfully grown by planting the nuts
In rows, checked out both ways as for
corn, and dropping nut at each crossing,
and covering about three inches. Cultivate
the ground In some hoed crop if you choose
but give the tree-plahts as much cultiva-
ton as you would corn. When two years
old take up and transplant where you wish
them TO glow. Initiate natural forest as
much as possible IN setting them out. The
number of walnuts required To plant an
acre four feet apart each way is about
bushels with the huils on or a bushel and
three pecks If cleaned; shellbarks about a

DR.. Vincent Richards, who is expert
meniing ON the efficacy of perDangsnate
OF potash as sntidote for the poison of the
cobra, writes to the Indian Medical Ga
zette that he has obtained some very re-
markahle results. When pernanganate of
potash was mixed with cobra poison and
hypodermically mi cted no fatal result
followed, although fatal dose of cobra
poison was used and the mixture injected
INTO the vein. He adds, however; that be-
fore any definite opinion con be formed
many experiments will have to be perfor-
med, not only with the cobra. but also
with viper poison. The 81 James Ga
zette remarks that under the Vivlsection
act, DIR. Vincent Richard. could not per-
form experiments In England without a
couple of licenses from the Home Secretary
and running the risk of criminal prose-
cution and public vituperation at the hands
of the anti-yIvIsectionlsts- The Importance
of such investigations is shown in the
statement that between twenty and thirty
thousand people die from snake.bItes every

Coal ASHES FOR FERTILIzEG.-ILe use
coal ashes mixed into clayey soils has been
found of great benefit, and it's value is
vouched for by many agriculturists. The
Husbahdmdn reports an experiment
made with coal ashes, applied at the rate
of 2U0 bushels TO twenty square rods or
ten busbe Is 10 the square rod. The soil
was compact and heavy. The ashes were
drawn on late In the autumn and spread
on the ground, which had been recently
plowed. In the spring the blowing Was
repeated, thoroughly mixing the ashes
with the soil. The ground was planted
with garden vegetables. The beneficial
result was in the corree ion Of the heavy
character of the soil, the ashes acting me-
chsnically and not as manure, and pro-
duclrg a satisfactory Improvement.

GOATS FOR CHuRNNs Those persons
who have tried them say that goats are
the best Of all animals for churning. Be-
lrg naturally climbers the uphill move
ment on the power used for driving the
churn does not tire them as it does other
ANIMALS, in fact, they rather like the work,
as being special fun for them. Fewer or
more goats can be put on the tread power
to operate 1t as less or greater churnings
may require. As goats will subsist On
coarser herbage than any other gazing an
imal, they are doubtless the most econcmi-
cal of ali to use for churning; and those
who have dairies of only a moderate size
cannot do better than to use them for this
purpose. If. in addition, they select them
from milking breeds, they will be well
repaid for their keeping from this alone.
