An ENrsRow's FRelur.

ibe late Emperor Nicholas, Autocrat
Oh all the kuSsiss. tine most iron handed
OF modern times, held one thing In par-
aculaf aversion, viz, wealth coupled
Win avaIcs. lie WAS once travelling
with n great dignitary whom he had of
Ten baHteret because Of his stinv.ness.
AT one OF the stages their carriage had
70 undergo certain repairs, and the gen
tiefnen went forward on foot. Thev
came 10 spot where the road was hood
ed to considerable depth. The En-
peror called road laborer and asked il
he would undertake - carry him through
the water.
Why no.s' said the laborer, who
took the monarch on his back and con-
yeyed him safely over.
The Emperor gave him two gold pieces
and whispered:
Now go and fetch the other gentle
man, but, when you have got half way
through the water, stand still and ask
him how much he intends to give
you"
The man did as he was told, stood
still with his living load, aud inquired
IN the middle of the water how much
he was to get.
You rascalr' cried the miser: "the
other gentleman paid for us both: l
saw him. you impudent swindler. You
shall not have another farthine"
What il he going 10 stand.' called
out the Emperor.
Nothing"
Then throw him into the water"
The iaborer was about to do 80, but
his intended victim held on tigh er and
exclaimed:
will give you three roubles."
ASK three hundred inte.posed the
Emperor, laughing.
And now began a most comical scene.
The terrified rider chung still more close
l. to his bearer, whom the Emperor by
his gestures encouraged to remain firm.
The rage and terror depicted in the fea-
lures of the miser were indescribably
ludicrous, the Emperor meanwhile arg
ing him to come ON.
We'll, now" said the dignitary, at
last, carry me across. / will pay you
when we get there"
Don't trust himr' cried the Emper-
or, nearly choked with laughter. Make
him pay at once"
Oar anxious traveller had, while hang
ing over the water, to bring cut his
pocketbook and hand to the country
man the 300 roubles.

HE'D SCOOP A LITTLE.

About the time that Daniel Drew
began his Wall street career, he was
up the country one time to visit
some friends, and two farmers called
upon him to decide case. One had
sold the other five bushels of wheat,
and proposed to measure it in half
bushel, and sweep the top of the meas
ure with a stick. The other objected,
and Uncle Daniel asked to decide.
"Well, legally speaking, a bushel
is only bushel," he answered.
"And can the measure be swept
off"
81 think it can"
"What with?'
"Well, if I was selling wheat /
should probably use half the head of
a -four barrel"
(which edge of it?"
Gentlemen, that is a point can
not now decide on" sighed the old
man. eff was selling to a widow
or q preacher I am certain that !
should sweep the measure with the
straight edge, but if l was selling to
a man who pastures his cows in the
road and his pigs in his neighbor's
corn, Tin afraid / should use the cir
cular side. and scoop little to boot"

A drive in Pensacola, after leaving
the principal streets, is too much of an
effort to be exactly agreeable to either
horses or people. The sand, of which
the soil is composed chiefly, is so deep
and yielding as to make it necessary
for you to have an extraordinary team
for an ordinary load. And then there
smoothing to drive for in the way of
scenery, although Pensacolians will
tell you there is) as all that is worth
seeing in that line can be viewed from
the deck of steamer or sailboat, or
from the platform of an excursion
train with much more pleasure to per-
son than could possibly be felt while
pair OF struggling, painting horses were
pulling your carriage at the rate of two
miles an hour. The principal streets
have been McAdamized with the stone
and gravel which the ships bring in as
ballast, making them very firm and
easy to travel. We did, however,
drive around the city once to "take it
all in" as Polly said, and after that we
confined ourselves to the "easy roads"
only.
We started from what is known as
the Gill;" though why it is l never
could tell, as could trace no resem-
blance to hill in the whole place, save
that upon which the old Spanish fort
is situated. This is an old ruined fort
which it is claimed was built by the
Spaniards not long after the discovery
of the place. 1t is situated on an ele
walton commanding view of a good
portion of the city, and affording a

Experiments in Flowing.

New England Farmer.
Mr.. Knox, the veteran plow maker
of the Ames Plow Co., has called our
attention to the effect of deep blowing
of some soils to Offset the danger from
lack Of rains in dry seasons. Some
years ago, an experiment was made
by Western Massachusetts, farmer in
blowing portions of a large field at
varying depths. One part was turned
over seven inches deep, another ten
inches, and a third, after being plowed
ten inches, was SUBSIDIZED to the depth
of ten inches more, making soifCom-
paratively loose to the depth of twenty
inches. The next year, which was a
dry one during the summer, corn was
grown upon the whole field, which was
treated in a uniform manner through
out, and the yield of the three divis-
ions carefully measured, The seven

inch blowing yielded as well as the or
binary fields in the vicinity. That
part plowed ten inches deep was greener
all through the season, and gave a de-
cidedly better yield, but that which
was plowed ten inches and SUBSIDIZED
ten inches in addition, produced just
about one.third more corn than that
part plOwed in the usual way, seven
inches deep. The next year, the whole
field was, by agreement, sowed to oats,
as a continuation of the experiment,
the season proving even drier than the
preceding one, when corn was grown.
When the oats were about ready to
cut, Mr.. Knox being in the neighbour
hood, called to see them. Before
reaching the farm, the field came in
view from the car windows, and Mr..
Knox, who was on the lookout, said to
acompanion that the gentleman had
not done as he had agreed, for he could
see that he had sown different kinds Of
grain upon the different plats, the size
and color of the growth both marking
the lines, dividing the lands plowed at
the three different depths. But on ar
irving at the field, he found nothing
but oats, and as stated by the owner,
all sown on the same day, and treated
precisely alike in every respect.
+ On the shallow plowed section, the
growth was short, and the straw yell
low on the ten inch blowing, the oats
were taller and less yellow, while on
the SUBSIDIZED portion they we're green
and very heavy. The final tests show
ed full one>third more grain on the
SUBSIDIZED portion than on that which
was plowed only seven inches deep,
Now, it will not do for farmers tt
calculate that deeply stirring every
kind of soils would alone add fifty pei
cent to the yield of crops grown upor
them the following two years, for they
would doubtless be disappointed il
very many cases. Yet, as a rule, {
deep, mellow soil, from which surplus
water can readily settle without max
ing the land into mortar, and through
which the moisture can again freely
rise by capillary attraction, other thing
being equal, will always bring the far
mer the better results.
There are soils which are naturally
never too wet, and rarely too dry, ant
it will usually be found on examination
that they are in the same mechanics

two feet or more, that one likes to hav

alone will not be sufficient. Drainir

blowing.
