The Chinese Army.

The organization of the Chinese army is still based on that of the militia corps which were originally raised by the prov inces which remained faithful to the Mantchou dynasty The army is divided into two parts, the largest of which, un- der Lii Hung Chang, protects Pekin and the eastern coast of the empire. It con- sists of two army corps, one of which numbers 46, GOO men, and the other 55,- 900. The infantry and artillery have been trained according to the Prussian regulations, and are armed with modern breech loaders. In 1881 these 100, 900 troops (S5, ,OOO infantry, 13,OOO artillery, and 2, 1000 cavalry) were stationed at the mouth of the Peiho and in the Tientsin district, where extensive works have been constructed, ,and armed with Krupp and Armstrong, guns of heavy calibre. The remaining portion of the army in- sists of O,OOO men, armed with breech loaders and trained by European con- structors; it is under the command of Tso Tsung Fang, and is stationed in Mantchouria and northwestern China. The artillery attached to this force is provided with Krupp breech loaders.

CANAAN, CONN.,, WEDNESDAY, 4,

ufactured for the purpose, but never put 1t down. Two years later the first pipe was laid. It extended from Pithole to the Allegheny River, distance of about fifteen miles, but the joints were so defective that it was used only few weeks. It served to show, however. that the general plan of pipe transporta- ton was practicable, and it was not long before number of pipe companies were formed. Their object was only to take the oil from the wells to the nearest railway line or to the Allegheny River, on which it was then foated down to Plttsburg in tanks upon flat boats. For number of years the pipe lines were in bad odor, owing to numerous failures among the companies and to their lack of efficiency. The system gained ground, however, from its evident supe- riority, and in 1876 the consolidation of a number of lines formed the United Pipe Lines, corporation which grew in power from year to year, and finally absorbed all the old concerns. It now owns over three thousand miles of pipes and over five hundred iron tanks, with a storage capacity of from 10000 to 35, ,O00 barrels each.

Gen. Sherman's Remarkable Dream.

Gen. Sherman denounces as false the story of his having once seated himself beneath the unbrageous shadow of a weeping willow and combed cannon balls out of his hair while fierce battle was raging. One night, however, he took refuge In an old farmhouse near Mill edgeville, Ga., and had fallen into a deep sleep when he was visited by an exciting dream. He thought the house Ill which he slept was surrounded by a band of guerillas, that dug 8 hole be- meath the wall next which he lay, filled the hole with powder and touched it off. The explosion that followed was terrible. and the General thought he saw himsel flying through the air in sections. With howl he sprang out of bed, rubbed his eyes and hastily dressing himself went down the stairs. To his surprise his body-guard was nowhere to be seen. The inmates of the house were appar- ently asleep, but the General felt that something was wrong, and slipping qui- etly out of the back door he walked cautiously to the barn. He had no sooner got there than lurid flame shot into the air, followed by a terrible explosion. Turning to see the cause the General was astonished to find the side of the house he just left blown completely away, and congratulated himself that he had not been blown away with it. Since that time the General says he has been firm believer in dreams.

Corn Fodder.

In consequence of the prospective lighter yield of grass, fodder corn should
 be extensively grown. It may be put in any time up to July 10th, in this latitude, and mature. As the present season is about two weeks later than usual. we can reasonably expect proportionately longer time for ripening in the fall Every farmer has some piece of pasture or thin, light meadow which can be turned to good account for fodder corn, enough to enrich it by scraping the barnyard and gathering up the fertiliz- ing material in different places. The ashes will go 8 good ways and it will pay, if there ishothing better, to pur- chase commercial fertilizer for the fodder corn. Itcan be put in so rapidly that the time required is of little account. When the ground is plowed, harrow it until the ground is mellow, and where there is a drill, take out teeth enough to make the rows sufficiently wide to run cultivator between them or, lay the ground out in furrows from two and a half to three feet wide, large corn re- quiring wider rows, and scatter the seed in the furrows. A man can do this almost as fast as he can walk and then the seed may be covered by running harrow lengthwise of the furrows. If the ground is cultivated as soon as the rows can be seen, no hoeing usually is necessary, as the corn grows so fast when planted late, it gets the start of the weeds. On this account many farmers do not put in their fodder corn until quite late in the season, as they save labor by so doing. The seed should not be put in too thickly, as greater weight of stalks and far more substance can be had with thinner seeding. Some allow ance must be made for waste of seed, but two bushels is ample to an acre, although most seedsmen recommend four.-F. D. CURTIS, Kirby Homestead, N. Y.

FARM NOTES AND HINTS.

SUMMER FALLows. once so common, are now considered questionable value
 as means of bringing up the fertility of an over-cropped soil, It is cheaper either to apply some commercial fertili- ger, or grow scayenger crop, like buck wheat and blow it und CT as green ma nure. There is considerable loss of solu- ble plant food ill bare faliow, that growing plants will take up and hold. The mechanical improvement of heavy soil by following is not to be overlooked, and the killing of the weeds in foul land by the frequent stirring of the soil. is another important advantage gained by a summer fallow. Nearly all these good 1 results are, however, obtained by 8 quick-growing crop, that is turned under before weeds have time to form seeds. EARLY POTATOES should be harvested as soon as ripe, lest wet weather cause them to sprout and rot A second crop may be grown by planting the early and quick-growing kinds by the first of the month. The late crop should be kept free from weeds and the destructive Po- tato beetle.
 RooTs. .-Ruta-bagas or Swedish tur- nips may be sown until the middle of the month. The ground cleared of early po- tatoes is especially fitted for crop of turnips. The soil must be rich, deep and mellow, and the seed, three pounds to the acre, sown' in drills thirty inches apart.
 WHEAT-To be of the best quality wheat should be cut when the grain, crushed between the finger nails, breaks into flour and shows no signs of dough. If there is 8 heavy harvest, it is better to begin the work little before this, than to have any cut after it is "dead ripe" Improper shocking of the sheaves is great source of loss. Each bundle should be set firmly upon the ground The best way to do this is to take one in each hand, bringing the two down with their heads close together. After three pairs have thus been placed in row, two more set on each side, making an oval shock. The heads of all the bundles are brought close together, and the cap-sheaf adjusted. A larger shock may be made of four pairs of bundles, with three sheaves on each side. The cap will con- sist of two sheaves, and the whole shock of eighteen bundles.
 OATS may be cut while the straw is somewhat green. If fully ripe cut in early morning and rake and bind the following afternoon to avoid shelling. Shock carefully, as the straw must be well cured before being housed. When wheat follows the oat crop, the stubble may be stirred with cultivator, to give the scattered grain 8 chance to sprout be- fore blowing.
 FODDER CROPS. Fodder corn may be sown from week to week through July to furnish an excellent supplement to the pastures, that are frequently short and dry in the late summer. Golden millet is 8 productive fodder crop, and on rich soil is ready for cutting in a few weeks from the time of sowing. If there is any left from green feeding, it may be cured into excellent hay. Hungarian grass may be sownlearly ill the month of July, but the soil must first be made rich and mellow.-Anoerican AgricuJturSst for JaGLH.

AN ANCIENT FORT DISCOVERED.
Earth-wOrks Containing Many Skulls Found
 in DakOta-A SuppOsitiOn.

A special from Redfeld, Dakota, says: | Several parties at work on farm four and half miles south of Redfeld have | discovered an od fort, which occupied nearly two acres, and from which nearly 200 human skulls have been exhumed, On an elevation of ground nearly 150 feet higher than thesurrounding country, and at a distance of one-h half mile west of the Chicago and Northwestern Rail- road, is Q fort nearly round. and no doubt years and years ago it was the means of defense for some tribe which was eventually overpowered and massa- cred. This earth-work was thrown up with a ditch on either side, and at one time three feet wide and of the same depth. At point on the south there is an open ing, and the intrenchments were dug about 20 feet to gulch that led to small lake a quarter of mile distant. The human skulls were found at the western side of the fort, and the mystery cannot be solved by any one. In 8 space 3 feet deep by IS inches square there were over dozen skulls found, as if they were thrown in together. No other bones were found, and the only solution is that the party were massacred and left where they fell until the wolves had picked the bones, when they were picked up and buried in one grave.
 "There are three theories advanced. First, it is stated that party of nearly 700 people started from South ern Wisconsin, and before they reached the Missouri River were met by the sav- ages and many were massacred and the survivors turned back into Minnesota; second, from the skulls one would judge that the people were taken prisoners and slaughtered. The reason for this con- lecture is that on nearly all the same side of the head is smashed in. Third, the trench where they were found is only 10 feet long and feet wide, and it is not known how many have been exhumed. some saying that over 250 have been taken out, and almost all of them have double teeth all around on the lower jaw, and as neither Indians nor Europeans as a rule have teeth of that description, they probably date back to the mound build CTS. Some of the skulls have no fore heads, and look like those of the "mis- sing link" being shaped differently from any ever seen at this age, while others are finely shaped. The correspondent had an interview with Drifting Goose, sub-chief of the Sioux tribe of Indians. but nothing was learned. Not stone. hatchet, button, or anything that could assist in identifying the race they be- longed to has yet been found.

HIS ANSWER.

The Detroit Free Press is authority for the story that the Rev. Newman Hall who once published very popular trac called Come to Jesus," took another 8 very bitter attack upon an opponent toDr. Binney, a clerical friend, and asked his advice about publishing it. | "I see you haven't got title for it, , said Dr. Binney,f ''If you will accept my advice about a title, I will advise its publication. Z
 ''What titlegwould you give it ?' asked Hall. \
 "l would call it," answered Binney, "'Go to the Devil" by the author of | Come to Jesus.'"
 Hall tore it up then and there. k BIG NAMES FOR CHILDREN.
 There ought to be some punishment for parents who burden their children with big names. Sometimes a boy has the gumption to change his name rather than submit to the outrage. Advised by some old women 8 pair of Kentucky parents named a boy Gamaliel, and when the old women would come the old wo- men would say: "Where's Gammy? I want to see little Gammy!" "Gammy." " filled with disgust, avoided the old wo- men, and one day he was sent to school ''What is your name, little boy?" asked the teacher. "John P boldly spoke up the boy. The spell of the old women was broken. "John' became his name at school, then at home, and to this day he is. ''John.

BABYS EYES.

A baby's feet, like sea shells pink Might tempt, should heaven see meet, An angels lips to kiss, we think,
 A baby's feet. Like rose hued ca flowers toward the heat. They stretch and spread and wink Their ten soft buds that part and meet No flower bells that expand and shrink Clean half so heavenly sweet As shine on life's untrodden brink
 A baby's feet. A baby's hands, like rosebuds furled Whence yet no leaf expands, Ope if you touch, though close upcurled.
 A babys hands. Then, fast as warriors grip their brands When battles bolt is hurled, They close, cleneh hard like tightening bands. No rosebuds yet by dawn impearled Match, even in loveliest lands, The sweetest flowers in the all world
 A baby's hands. baby's eyes, ere speech begin, Ere lips learn words or sighs, Bless all things bright enough to win
 A baby's eyes. Love, while the sweet thing laughs and lies, And sleep flows out and in, Sees in them perfect Paradise. Their glance might cast out pain and sin, There speech make dumb the wise, By mute glad godhead felt within
 A bsby's eyes. SwINBoURNE.

A Woman with Faculty.

Letter in Denver Inter Ocean.
There is something we must cultivate be-
fore we can make the most of our homes.
That something is 'knack," which may be
defined as making the most out of lutte.
My impression is that every person has the
talent, if may call it SO, of "knack,' but
everybody has not the perseverance to de-
velop it. For instance know lady whose
knack was developed by experience. She
was to receive some relatives for week or
ten days who were taking "trip" She had
pretty room to spare. but no furniture to
furnish it. She never ran in debt and,
counting her spare finances, she could not
afford to expend much over $40. With it
broad strip of the floor round
the walls black, at an expense of about 20
cents. A remnant of small figured, bright
ingram carpet, two breadths, three yards
long, and some pieces of Brussels carpet
were bought. The pieces of Brussels were
raveled out and made pretty fringe when
tied round the mat. This mat was tackled
down to meet the black strip. A pretty,
cheap cottage bedstead in oak and a spring
bed were bought. Balance on hand, $3.50,
This was expended in white dotted null and
undressed blue cambria. A toilet frame was
made, with square-cut front, like a dresser
Two upright pieces of wood were nailed
to the back and a glass borrowed from an
other room was made stationary by a
brace from each strip. The rough frame
was then covered with the blue CAM
brio, and then recovered with an old
blue and white null dress daintily frilled
and futed. Blue ribbon bows finished it.
Another frame was made, three cornered,
and htted into one corner OF the room by q
brace attached to the corner of the base
board. This frame was covered with the
remains of blue and white null to match
the toilet. The drapery was fastened at the
foot of the brace by ribbons. dainty
splasher was made of blue cambria and
gathered dotted muslin. White dotted null
curtains were placed at the window, with
rowed from bed which had two, with futad
pillow shams and sheet and snowy spread.
Three pretty chairs were borrowed from diff
ferent rooms, and an old stand was prettily
draped with scraps. A few pretty engravings
were framed with straw frames and
some pretty, inexpensive trifles were
made for the walls and toilet Some bright
Japanese fans were used to brighten the
corners of the walls. The toilet articles were
borrowed from other rooms. A dainty toilet
set was made OF dotted muslin and blue
cambria. The effect of this simple, charming
room was so exquisite that the guests, who
were used TO elegance at home, declared that
they never had such restful sleep in their
lives. Now this is what mean by "knack-'
No matter what emergencies arise, make tine
best OF everything How often we hear
people say, 81 might do such thing, but it's
so much trouble" Is anything worth having
in this world without trouble? These same
ladies would not deem whole week devoted
to a new dress as trouble" How often we
hear, 81 am just going to have the prettiest
dress you ever saw at small expense" But
how rarely we hear the same idea expressed
in the furnishing of a room.
