The Lord and the Shilling,

The following episode, which hap
pened lately at one of our fashionable
hotels, proves that virtue is more SUBJ
stantially rewarded than the old adage
seems to indicate. One evening rather
late gentleman, great admirer of:man's
best friend, saw some magnificent
dogs in the care of the hall porter. Hav-
ing entered into conversation with the
temporary keeper of the Cereberi, he
learned that the owner had left no in.
struction as to their being fed. He
therefore took upon himself to order a
repast for them. They were still en-
joying it when the owner returned, and
the good Samaritan, going up, told
dogs, and had ordered them to be fed.
"Oh, thank you! Here, take this" and
the owners gratitude took the tangible
shape OF the coin recruiting sergeant's
dispense in the queens name. The
gentleman smilingly took the proffered
reward, and said: lam Lord and
most heartily thank you for the first
shilling 1 have ever earned. I shall
have a hole drilled in it, and wear it AZ
charm. It may bring me luck" ooh
my, lord! cannot tell you how sor.
ry am at my blunder. Pray give me
hack the shilling, and accept my most
heartfelt apology!" 81 beg you not t.
apologize. You have made me ieel
quite proud man, and, as to the shil.
ling, you must allow me to keep it, that
it may become an heirloom in my fami-
~, where we have never had an oppor-
tunity of earning money. london

PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
Of the body, and unless it is pure
and sich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTE2s willtho
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.

Close Planting.

The Farming World believes in close
planting. It says: every farmer must
know that to produce the heaviest pos
sible crop certain number of stalks
must be upon the ground. It is often
observed that the great sin OF
American agriculture is too thin sowing.
Grass is nearly always sowed too thin,
and the same is true of small grain. In
England they SOW four and five, and
sometimes six, bushels of oats to the
acre; in this country generally not more
than a bushel or a bushel and half.
Hence in England they yield three or
four times as heavy as in this country
we never hear of an extraordinary crop
where less than three or four bushels to
the acre are sown. Now, we venture to
affirm that no very large corn crop was
over grown unless it was planted more
than usually .thick. In the crop of
George w. Williams. of Bourbon county,
KY, the corn was planted in rows two
feet apart, with 4 stalk every foot in the
rows. This crop produced 1877 bushels
to the acre. Yet there is another adj
vantage of close planting. The corn
very soon becomes so dense that the
ground is shaded and the, growth Of the
grass is prevented AM! the moisture re-
tanned in the soil. BY this method of
cultivation no grass is ever allowed to
absorb the moisture from the earth, or
to take up the nutritious gases which
ought to be appropriated exclusively to
the corn.

into the Crossman house this afternoon.
He had q basket of trout that get every
one crazy. Some New York fishermen
were stopping ct the hoteland the land
lord was anxious to find out for their
benefit where the trout had been cap
tured. Hence his query as above, and
the extremely satisfactory response of
the boy. ''Do you want to sell emp
asked the landlord. Eyes, I'll sell 'em, !"
said the boy; "but the price i've sot on
'em nebbe won't suit you. They'm go
a pound, these u.s." "1'll give you 70
cents pound if you'll tell me where you
got EN-" said the landlord. The boy
Scratched his head. He looked his trout
over, as if he was bordering the ques.
ton as to whether or not it would be a
good stroke of business to sell his secret
with them. Finally he said: "If you'll
make it rs, I'll 60 you" It was bar
gain. The trout were weighed and the
money counted out to the boy. "Now,
then, where'd y catch 'em?" said the
landlord. II said I tell you where got
'em," the small boy replied, as he
walked to the door. II didn't ketch 'em.
I traded six fly hooks an that chestnut
fish pole O. mine to Bill Smiths boy for
'em."-Milford, Pa, Letter.

Usage Orange hedge.

Secretary Chamberlain, of the Ohio
State Board of Agriculture, thinks Of all
fences Usage orange hedge is "the cheap
est nd certainly handsomest, Improperly
tended, and has several advantages that
I may point out at some other time. But
let no shiftless, or slack, or untidy farm
er:plantia hedge. He will constitutionally
and inevitably neglect it; he will not re-
place the sets that died the first year;
he will not braid or 'plash' it at the
proper time; he will always be going to
to trim,' and never trim, and his hedge
will be anything but a thing OF beauty
and Joy forever Nor will it keep his
steers out of his corn. And even the
tidy farmer will find places and circum-
stances where hedge cannot be grown
soon enough, or where it is not best for
other reasons to have one" The ordin-
ary wire fence he considers too danger
gerous to stock, 50 he has adopted q
combination of wire and board where
fences are unavoidable. One board is
put between the two upper strands Of
wire, which acts as a brace the whole
length of the fence. It should be nailed
on firmly, and each with its ends close
to those of the next boards, 80 that there
may be no "give" when the wires
are stretched. The board is placed down
one space from the top, so that the wire
above it may protect it from the cattle
reaching their heads over and crowding
with their necks and breasts, and break
ing it as they will single pine board CD
top without a cap.

Care Of the Plough.

Ifyou have very ruety pillow, says a
writer in the Cincinnati Times, pour
about eight ounces of sulphuric acid, as
purchased at the apothecary's, into a
quart of water; do this slowly and very
carefully, for it will burn hands, cloth
ing or almost anything else; also use an
earthen or crockery vessel. rather than
a tin or iron one. Apply this to tho
rusty surface two or three times, making
each application as soon as the former
one is dry. Then wash with clean water,
and repeat the process. Give some Of
the worst spots rub with a Bristol
brick; wash again with water and wipe
dry. Put little kerosene around the
bolts, and take the pillow to pieces, scour-
ing each piece to get off the remaining
rust spots if necessary. This sounds like
a formidable process, but the whole
operation ought not to take over an
hour. Oil all exposed surfaces with
kerosene when you set the pillow away,
and when you do your spring blowing a
very few turns will finish off the bal
ance of the rust.

FARM AND HOUSE,
Farming Brevities.

g s.. Err -=.-
This insane attempt, says Mr.. slosson
in the Western Rural, to raise from one
to three hundred acres Of corn, when
only half the number of acres can be
titled as they should be-, is beginning to
dawn upon the minds OF some from the
few examples here and there practically
given. -
If there is any difference made in wa
ter given to various kinds of stock, it is
obvious that mich cows should have the
greater care, for it is we'll known that
the milk is more or less affected by the
food and drink of the animal, and when
used it must in turn affect the user, as it
is more or less near purity.
The winter radish should be sown
about the middle of summer, and, like
the turnip make its best growth in the
Autumn. Pitted out of doors or buried
in earth in cool cellar, it will keep
crisp all winter. An hour before r,siny
place the winter radish in cold water.
Be kind to your help. They will re-
spect you for it and work the harder.
Retire early. Take good rest after
dinner, no matter how pressing the
work may be. After working and per-
Jpiring all day, do not sit down to rest
and cool yourself in q breezy place.
Colds, rheumatism and malaria are con-
tracted in this way. It is better first to
strip off the damp clothing, rub the body
and put on dry clothing.
The officers ofthe DEPARTMENT. of Agri-
culture at Washington, declare that hog
cholera has been practically extermina-
ted. Good news for the farmers of the
county, if true. It seems that for weeks
past unsuccessful attempts have been
made by the Department to secure virus
from infected hogs for experimental
purposes on the place which Dr.. D. E.
Salmon, D. V. NJ, is experimenting.
The determination of hok cholera would
save millions year for our farmers, and
should it really turn out that we have
got rid of the plague, the greatest pre-
cautions should be taken everywhere to
prevent the recurrence of it.

Some 'sBloated BOndhOlders."

The semi-annual payment of interest
on registered United States bonds, which
occurs in January and June, is now be-
ing made. While it is very difficult to
obtain exact information as to the largest
receivers of interest from this class of
United States bonds, yet, like almost
anything else here, it can be had if one
wants it badly enough. This year the
largest single bondholder the treasury
department knows of is Mr.. Vanderbilt,
who will receive heinterest on $27 ,0OO,-
900. A year ago he had $4,000, 600, but
he has disposed of $l3 100000 for some
purpose. The. next largest owner is
Mrs. A. T. Stewart, who has about $780,
100000. As some of hers are coupon
bonds, the amount of her holding can
not exactly be told, Ten years ago Mr..
A. T. Stewart had $40, 600 900 in bonds,
the most of them being : SIS.
Mr.. Gould has $l3, 00O, 600 in registered
bonds and q large number OF couron
bonds, which. he keeps to use as collatr
erals in Wall street when he needs large
sums of money. A California million
aire, Mr.. Flood is the next largest bold
or. He has SIS, 900, 900. Then there is
an estate In Boston and three or four
persons in New York would have each
SIC, 00O, 900, and a lady in New York, I'M
married, TOBIAS S., 700 900, and the es.
tate of Moses Taylor in New York has
100000 and D. 0. Mills Whitelaw
Reid 8 father-in-law, $4,000, 600. I was
surprised to learn that so few wealthy
men held any large amounts of United
States bonds as permanent Investments,
but was told that the rate Of interest is
now SO low that other securities are pre-
ferred that are considered just as safe
and pay higher in erest. i -, IA.
On the other side of the water Anheri-
cal securities are very popular and far
cause the rate of interest is higher than
that paid by any other greater power.

The Popularity OF Great Men.
It is all nonsense to say that because
the people at large love cakes and ale
as of course, they do-they will not tol-
crate any one who does not love cakes
and ale too. They will not tolerate any
thing that looks like ostentatious virtue.
But they will love all the better, the
man who, not being in love with such
delights himself, shows himself simply
as he is, without the smallest deprecia-
ton of those who care more for such in.
dulgencies than he cares. The popular
mind is wonderfully catholic in its tastes.
Greatness of any kind. even of the
purely intellectual kind, easily s'fetch-
es" as the phrase goes. Prince Bismarck
is popular in Germany, General Grant
in the United States, Lord Beaconsfield
and Mr.. Gladstone in England, Garibal-
di was popular in Italy, all without any
well-marked sympathy for the pleasures
of the people, just because all of them
managed to show strong character
strongly identified with the national
| welfare.-London Spectator.
