"A man who gave the name of John
Barrett, and who had an emigrant ticket
to New York, stopped over at Winnie
mucca, New, recently, and sought pro-
lection from the Sheriff. He fancied
that there were highwaymen on the
train, who were robbing the passengers
of everything valuable that they could
get away with, and as he had a fine gold
watch he thought they would take it
from him. A nights sleep restored his
senses, and he left for the East. This is
only one of several instances known
there where men have been made tenn
porarily insane by riding on emigrant
cars.-DenUer Tribune.

Selling for Sick Horses.

The common custom is to turn horses
out to pasture when they are sick or
lame, or recovering from sickness or
lameness. This is especially true Of
those cases in which the animals are suf-
fering from overdriving. The plan has
had and still has many advocates, but
the more thoughtful veterinarians and
horse owners now question its utility.
In the Journal of Comparative Medicine
is an article in which the ground is taken
that horses turned put from warm stables
to run at large in pastures not infre-
1uently catch colds, which sometimes
end in serious maladies. They have been
carefully housed, fed and groomed while
in health, but when ailing are turned
into fields. where they are exposed to
chilling storms and scorching SUM-; to the
attacks of insects, to accidents, and
sometimes to fatigue from travelling over
much ground in order to get enough
food. The results of such treatment,
which might do well enough for a horse
in good condition, can scarcely be other
than harmful in many if not in most
cases where horses are weakened by
sickness.
By the soiling system these evils may
be avoided, while all the benefits of past
uring may be obtained. The invalid
should be confined in a lot of about half
an acre and there ted and watered regu-
larly and carefully. Underthis plan the
food could be frequently changed, the
exercise needed could be secured, pro.
lection from inclement weather and
from the annoying attacks of insects
could be given, and a generally efficient
supervision over the ailing animal could
be had without trouble.
Zone acre of rich ground" says the
article mentioned, will produce nor
food. whatever the crop may be, than a
dozen acres of the non-productive land
that is often used for pasturing, and the
quality as well as the quantity will be-
greatly improved" 1t is, or should be,
well known hat many pastures heal
great cities produce only solu soft grasses
unfit for food for a horse ever when he
is in health and totally unfit, of course,
for the use of a horse out of condition.

Cremation of the Dead in Japan.

As men and women are born into this
world, so sure is it that they shall die ;
and as death has that about it that is
mystery unfathomable, 1t is not strange
that it should be attended with all the
puthp and Ceremony the occasion will
admit Of. The Japanese have rites Pc
culiar to their religious faith that are
observed In consigning their dead to
earth, there to await the unknown that
may be. After death the cadaver is
taken by the friends to the cremating
grounds at evening; it is taken to the
house of the priest attendant upon the
place, who offers prayer for the dead.
The body is then cremated, burning all
night. On the following morning the
relatives collect what particles of
bone they car find rncon-
sumed and place them in a
fine jar, which is securely sealed, 1t is
customary to place d number of coins
and some leaves Of a plant sacred to that
tse-known as the Shikibi-in the jar to
insure the passage of the dead across the
Sandst or Sty1, as it is supposed that
there is an old woman who has charge of
the ferry who must be paid ere b will al
low any soul in her boat. A square
bier is used to transport the coffin jar
upon as it is being taken to the place
of sepulture, on each corner of which is
affixed a branch of the Shikibi plant.
The bier is covered with white garments,
such as are worn by women when they
are being married. All who attend the
funeral are dressed in white. In front
of the bier there is carried a wooden tab.

New Mode Of Treating Tomatoes.

My practice is to excavate in the early
spring time as many fiat turnips as are
needed and having filled the cavity with
earth, plant two o. three seeds in it,
selecting the best plant, when W. inch
es or three inches high, to remain,
and pulling out the others; when it is
time to set them in the garden, place
the turnip, with its contents undisturbed,
in a hole deep enough to the tur-
nip two inches or three inches. Setting
out in this way, there is no cutting away
of the roots and little need of water, as
the plant has not been in the least dis
turbed, especially if Injured to the air
out of doors for a week or two before be-
ing set in the garden. 1 have started
tomatoes out so early that the plants
were in blossom several days before be-
ing set out, not being at all checked or
retardedin growth thereby. Cucumbers
started in the same way l have had in
bloom when set put with the same result.
After being put in the ground the tur-

instead of being at the trouble of procur-
ing sharpening, and setting stakes, and
pulling and taking care of them at the
end of the season, l started into growth
some sunf1ower seeds. To prevent too
much shade I cut off the leaves of the
sunflower as far::above the tomato plant
as is necessary to give it all the air and
sunlight desirable. The Russian sun
flower, because of its very tall growth,
is the best for this purpose. The u n
flower makes the best and most profit

breaking of stakes when loaded with

SOME OTHER DAY.

Though all your dreams ave been shattered
Your idols been overthrow,
though all our hopes ave been scattered
Like leaves by the tempest blown,
Grieve not as If broken-hearted
Ger pleasures that come no more,
For the sunshine with which you parted
Some other day willrestore.
Though the path that your foot now traces
Has wandered way, no doubt,
From the smooth and flowery places
Where early you started out;
Though the vessel that bears your treasure
Makes ~grievously long delay,
Let patience fill up her measure,
And wait-tll some other day.
Some other day will be brighter
Than this that is full of gloom.
The clouds in the sky be lighter,
The roses in perfect bloom;
The thorns that beset you way,
Will have no power to 9 o u
Perc. 'uce, on some other day.
Though TO- you are passing under
The rod that is harsh. yet kind,
Some other day you will wonder
How you could have been 30 blind
AS not TO have seen the token
That on to the eastward lay,
IN sign OF the promise spoken
Atthe darkest hour of the day.
For Grief and Joy have their season;
They flourish and then depart;
And for all these trials the reason
Will appear to each aching heart
Some day. So, I pray you, remember
When grieving Ger lost delight,
The year is not all December,
Some other day will be bright.
