Story of an Orphan BOY.

1t has been, for some time past, the pri-
yate opinion of Gould, Vanderbilt and other
noted American Ihilanthroplsts, that it was
a sacred duty Congress owed the American
people to pass some stringent law protecting
monied monopolists from the schemes of
poor, but designing, men and boys.
The Standard Oil Company, which is be-
lieved 10 be the biggest monopoly out of
Jail. so to speak, has been very much morti-
fed by a sixteen-year-old boy named Mike
Keatlngs, who is a carrier of kilograms in
Oil City. He has been carrying dispatches
ever since he has been able to run. The
operators IN petroleum send their
dispatches in cypher, which nobody
bat themselves can read, Mike
excepted. The brokers did not teach Mike
to read the CIPHER, but from carving so
many of their dispatches. and keeping his
eyes open, Michael became so proficient that
he could read the cabalistic CIPHER as read
lily as the sign OF corner grocery store.
Mike is modest boy, and did not go to the
oil brokers and boast openly of having
taught himself to read their dispatches, but
they found il out themselves.
Not long since there was an extraordinary
rise in oil, and in few days it rose from
fifty cents TO 81 30. The monopoly had laid
its plans to boom the market. Nike discov-
cred this from the dispatches of the Stand
ards brokers, but what could poor orphan
boy sixteen years old do without any capital,
except his aged parents, who had to be sup
ported out of his scsnty earnings? Mike
went to one of the largest operators in oil
and offered to give him private lessons in
reading The merchant glanced disdainfully
at the youth, but when Nike explained that
he was qualified to impart instruction in the
art of residing the CIPHER dispatches of the
Standard Oil Company, then the broker con
ceived great admiration for the orphan boy
who had to support his aged parents. The
next message that fell into Mixes hands wa:
carried into the brokers office and trans
lated. The broker took in Mike as silent
partner, and they together took in the Stand
ard Oil Company for about 100000, o
which Mike, the poor little orphan boy. got
half, which goes to show that knowledge i;
power, and that the time spent In learning
TO read cypher dispatches is moi
thrown away. The Standard Oil Com
pany brought influences to bear on the
Telegraph Company, and Mike was dis
missed under the civil service reform rules
and now the poor orphan. having lost hi'
salary of IS a week, has to use some of the
$50, 600 he got out of the Standard Oil PEG
ple all of which goes to show that Congress
should take measures TO protect monied mo
nopolies from the schemes os designing or
phan boys who are trying to learn, all by
themselves, how to read CIPHER dispatches

Turnips as q Farm Crop.

+. ID. Curtis is a strong advocate OF root
crops, and writes as follows in the American
Agriculturist for February:
A turnip crop will FL a meadow for corn,
as the sod will be rotted, ready for giving
the maize a vigorous start, and the ground
will be more mellow and all the richer on
account OF the turnips The sod should be
turned over as soon as possible after
the clover or hay crop has
been taken off, IL would be
we'll to roll the ground and fiatten the
sward to hasten Its decomposition, and
few days before sowing time harrow it thor
oughly. Addressing of inely-rotten manure
should then be spread upon the surface,
and cultivated into the soil, the ground be-
ing pulverized and made as mellow as pos
sible. If wood ashes can be procured, they
will help the crop if they are thinly scat
tered on top. A pound and half OF seed
sown broadcast is ample for an acre. The
seed should be covered with a
brush rag. As soon as the
turnips are up, they will be benefited by
dressing of plaster (sulphete of lmel at the
rate of two bushels TO an acre. Good phos-
phate will make turnips grow, il narrowed
into the ground with the seed, using 100
pounds to the acre. The advantages of q
crop of turnips for the latter part of autumn
are many fold. If the farmer does not wish
to harvest them he can turn on his entire
stock, and the hungry animals that might
have roamed over frost-birten, barren fields,
will luxuriate in plenty.

A Perilous Situation.
IWinnepeg SUM-

When the regular train which left Rat
Portage yesterday morning was nearing the
bridge over the Winnipeg River, the driver
noticed man walking on the structure.
The train approached the bridge by a curve,
so that the man could not see his danger.
The bridge is too narrow to permit person
to stand on one side till a train should pass
and it was impossible for him TO reach the
other side before the train would ovsrtake
him. To jump from the bridge was
certain death. The only course open was
to clutch the outer board, and. suspended
between life and death, await the result
This the man did, and the train, which
could not be stopped came laundering on.
The conductor, recollecting that the steps
of the Pullman Car were very low, and
would probably strike the mans head,
rushed to the rear of the train and uncoup-
led the car, which, by the prompt applica-
ton OF brakes, was stopped in time. The
man pulled himself up and reached the
other end of the bridge.
At this instant freight train was observed
backing around the curve, and there stood
the Pullman car in the middle of the
bridge, filled with the terrified passengers.
for the front part of the train had gone off.
The engine OF the freight train was attached
to the rear end, so that it was impossible for
the engineer to see the Pullman car. To
| leave the Pullman car was certain de ath, as
the passengers had no means OF escape, aud
Notwithstanding the shouts of the train Of
| ficials the freight tram came thunder
| ing on. 1t was q forlorn hope,
but it was the only ore, and quick
as fash Conductor Tredden, of the pas
senger train, signalled the engineer, who
had gone off with the front part Of the train,
to back up. He saw the danger, but, true
to his calling, reversed his engine and sped
back over the bridge on his mission oil
mercy. He reached the car, the coupling
was made, the lever thrown backward, and
not an instant too soon the Pullman car and
its precious load were drawn from the
threshold of death. Silently and with awed
faces the passenge rode to the city, each one
realizing how close had been their call. The
caboose attached to the freight train was
also filled with passengers, but when they
saw their danger many OF them jumped
from the car into the snow-drifts.

The father of Washington lawyer guilty
of escapades has recently given the follow
ing explanation of the cratic victim /:
Thinking Il safe thing to do, NV son has
been in the habit for months of carrying
quinine in his pocket, and taking it in small
but frequent doses, and the result is an ella
ted, sanguine state of mind, quite beyond
the bonds of reason. His memory is not yet
impaired, and the marked improvement al
ready consequent upon being deprived of
the drug, gives his friends reason ID expect
complete restoration in short time. Mean
while, let this ease be one of many others to
teach us all that, excellent as qninine may
be in many cases, it is, like chloral or opiuIa
or alcohol, exceedingly dangerous to trifss
with" The question which naturally arises
in the mind of the physician, on reading
this, is whether Guinine has ever been re-
ported Is causing insanity. There are at
least two such eases ON record, both of them
reported in the Journal of nervous and
Mental Diseases, July, 1881. In both, inssn-
ity always followed upon the use of euinine,
and from the character of the two reported
cases, il seems certain that in some predis-
posed cases brief, durable insanity may fol-
low upon the use of quinine.

green fodder in the silo II is not only cut
finely but is harvested when in the most nu-
tritious succulent condition, while fodder,
as we usually treat il, is cut when past its
best stages. and only when time per-
mits, on some farms. Ensilsge, however,
must be cut at the right stage,
and receive the most careful attention from
the time of planting TO its storage in the si-
10. Let corn-fodder be cut exactly at the

its value, ano euSilsge is always prepared,
while fodder is led in any manner. There
is much dependence on the working OF the
cutter in this contro vezsy. So far as our
own opinions go we prefer fair trial OF its
merits; and, while but little faith is placed
in it by some, its advocates claim that most
complaints are only by those who have not
tried it. III no more facts can be gained re-
garding ensllage, something, at least, may
be learned as to the feeding value Of proper
ly cured and prepared corn-fodder, which Is
q very important matter, judging from the
manner in which it is sometimes wasted.

Steaming Fodder.

Taking the word fodder" in the broadest
sense, as any kind of food for graminivorous
animals, we may say that il will always pay
TO steam or cook foed for swine. aud often
for COWS in stables containing twenty-five
head or more, while for sheep and horses it
will be of doubtful expediency, and usually
not advisable under any circumstances
The cooking of feed for fattening swine is so
important as matter of economy that it
will pay, even though done with lit
tie regard to the saving of labor and fuel.
On the other hand, to cook the feed
for neat cattle with profit not only should
there be animals enough to IRake il pay but
the rati0ns should be so carefully planned
that by mingling of palatable with less rel
ished and coarse fodder a saving may be
effected IN that way. Beside, the object for
which the cattle are kept is an important
factor to be considered in the feeding. The
flow of milk is increased by stesming the
fodder; the color Of the butter is, however
injured. The same ration will prove more
fattening, while, at the same time. there
will be little or no waste il the steaming Il
well managed. Ii is best to have the steamed
ration composed of variety of feed, such
as corn-fodder. roots, hay or oats
straw, with bran and corn meal, OF
cotton seed, or hnseed oil cake or meal
The substitution of one kind of fod
der or meal for another gives variety and
relish. The coarse fodder is cooked soft
and the flavor of the roots and of the meal
pervades the mass. IL is not likely that any
of the small agrcultaral steamers can be
made to economically cook the food for as
many as twenty-five or thirty head of cattle.
When boiler OF several horsepower is en-
ployed to do other work, as pumping. thresh
ing, saving wood, grinding, cutting hay and
corn fodder, etc, steam may be economi
cally used for cooking fodder. OF this there
can be little doubt. The steam-box in
which the fodder is placed for cooking, If il
is big enough, need not be filled oftener than
twice week. and if, as already intimated
every pains is taken in the operation To save
In the items of hard labor and fuel, steam
ing fodder for cattle will be found profitable

FertiIiziDg Fruit Trees.
Pacific Rural Spirit

Many orchardists in California are awaken
ing TO the necessity of maintaining the fer
tility of their orchards by the application of
manures of different kinds, and IL will be
timely to introduce some facts concerning
the method of application. There is wrong
way and a right way, aud fortunately the
proper method can be shown by series OF
systematic experiments. A writer in the
Country Gentleman gives the following: A
rule adopted by old writers gave the length
OF the roots as equal to the length OF the
branches above. 1t is safe to say that this
rule does not indicate generally more
than q tenth OF the ground which the
entire roots really occupy. Many years
ago l made an experiment on a row
of peach trees planted in grass
and within few feet of each other. They
had been set three or four years, and were
eight or nine feet high. Within few feet
of one end ofithe rows the ground was very
rich with heap of manure. It's stimulat-
ing effect on the nearest tree was such that
the shoots made in one season were two feet
and half long. The tree which stood seven
feet from the msnured ground made shoots
fifteen inches long, ana at eleven feet dis
lance the shoots grew seven or eight inches.
At fifteen feet no percepnble effect of the
manure was visible, the growth not exceed
ing three inches. The experiment showed
that decided benefit was gained to the tree
at eleven feet distance through the few
roots on the one side, and that the roots
formed radiating circle at least twenty
two feet in diameter. The absurdity of the
practice of applying a small heap of manure
at the base of the trunk of the tree is obvious.
