Spells Words Backward.

In the plantation of OaEfieId, ARGOS
took County, Ne, there is a girl who
possesses the faculty Of spelling difficult
words backward without hesitation. Her
name is Hattie NJ. Drew; and she is Just
past her twelfth birthday and resides
with her parents in Oakfeld. They are
people of moderate education, living upon
a farm in a rural community. While
this girl Is bright and smart as the aver
age Of her mates she never attracted par
ticular attention until, little more than
a year ago, it was discovered she pos
sessed the singular gift of spelling any
word she was acquainted with, backward
and without hesitation. At a spelling
match recently held in the school which
she attends, without any warming, she
stood before the audience for some ten
minutes, spelling words selected at ran
dom, some for their difficulty of combin-
alton, but without any previous knowl-
edge of what they were to be, rapidly
and correctly, except one or two words
which she could not spell in the proper
way, and when prompted in the correct
spelling Of these, she Immediately re-
versed it. Among the words which she
spelled were: Galaxy, syzygy. astron-
omy, robin, photography, difficulty, at
tendance, indivisible, etc. All of these
We're spelled as rapidly as the eye could
follow, without a single displacement of
a letter. Has any other person without
any training been able to do this OF sim

upon the testimony OF the girl, that ''she
can see the words in her mind, and knows
no reason why she should not read the
letters backward as in the usual way"

turns at the cooking. The gentleman III
question did not take kindly to this Work,
and when the remainder Of the party re-
turned from the chase he was invariably
asleer. not having prepared a meal.
His companions became somewhat DIS
turbed at this Iaziness, and declared that
he should go out and bring in some
game. This he proceeded very gladIyto
do.
In few minutes, however, he was
seen at the top of his speed rushing
franticaIIy toward the camp with an I'M
mense bear in hot pursuit. He dashed
into the shanty, the heavy doors Of which
were at once barred against the would-be
intruder. the frightened hunter eNclalm-
ing, between gasps in trying to catch his
breath:

After some dozen shots had been fired
from the roof of the shanty. where the
gallant hunters had managed to crawl
through one of the numerous smoke
holes. the bear was killed and the men
descended and soon were enjoying a
hearty dinner of bear steaks.
THEN HE CONTINUED.
Several men were seated in Detroit
drug store the other day with their feet
on the stove and a cigar in each mouth,
when a boy looked in and yelled out:
"Some OF you had horse hitched out
here ?"
81 believe I did, quietly replied one
of the sitters.
"Well, he's gone"
''Did he walk off,"

here's a quarter for you.
The boy went out to pick up the kind

relighted his cigar, got a new brace for
his feet, and said:

Farm Work for February,

SEEDS of all kinds should be procured
now, that they may he on hand as soon
as spring opens. Dealers are overmln
with orders just at sowing time, and thev
do not then give the quickest and most
careful attention. 1t is of the greatest
Importance that only the best seed Of the
choicest sorts be used. Canvass the
whole subject of seeds with much care,
and it will be time well spent. There is
no economy III sowing cheap seeds, and
when there are weed seeds present it is a
great mistake and a source of much fu-
ture trouble.
MANURE. The making and saving of
manure are among the most important
labors on the farm in winter The value
of this product depends upon the char
acter Of the food given to the animals !;
the kind, age and care of the stock, and
the attention that it receives after it is
dropped. Manure from the stables may
be put in square, compact piles, which
will retain sufficient heat to keep out the
frost and rot rapidly. By adding to the
top, and forking in the sides, the whole
heap will be in fine condition for use in
the spring, and will give quick returns
on any field crop. The worst arrange
ment is to have the droppings scattered
over a large open yard, to be frozen and
trampled into the mud.
FARM ANIMALS should be kept neat
and clean. Examine young cattle for
lice these pests may be found along the
back and neck of the animal. Rub the
infested parts with kerosene oil, diluted
with an equal quantity Of sweet oil, or
lard.
Horses that are idle may be kept in a
yard with an open shed for shelter, and
if fed with q few ears of corn for their
grain, will keep in good condition. Work
horses need good stables and an album
dance Of wholesome food. Use the cur
rycOmb and brush daily, thus keeping
the surface Of the skin in a vigorous and
healthful condition. A sharp cunycomb
is to be avoided, as it irritates the ami

PICS thrive in dry, warm and we'll
ventilated pens. \ large portion Of the
swine troubles come from too much
dampness and filth. The brood sows
need special attention, and should be
provided with a large, warm room, with
the litter. Give them a mixed diet.

The Cholera i'll Chiapas.
FRIGHTFUL MORTALITY OF THE PLAGUE
1000 DEATHS IN \ TOWN OF 5000

The Government organ of the State of
Chiapas, Mexico, publishes a long arti-
Gle on the cholera, which has scouged
the southern part of the State and which
has not yet disappeared. The general
Government is implored to render as
sistance, as the number of victims is
immense and the misery is great. The
IlcbIo Li6rc says:
"Our State Of Chiapas has suffered
series of misfortunes. Floods first swept
away part of the capital, and, in the hot
zone (ticrra caliente) crops and fields
were destroyed Then in 1881 the To-
Gusts devoured everything that was green
and left our farms and forests a perfect
desert. Then they returned and played
the same havoc in 1882, to be shortly
followed by the cholera scourge."
4 letter written from the same State
early in December says: Sanitary cor
dons were established round the terra
cuIiente- the hot regiOn-where this
sporadic outbreak of cholera ragged with
fercest intensity. The cold and temper
ate regions were not affected Whole
families died in a single night. On
some plantations there are only three or
four people left alive.
Many bodies have been devorred by
the dogs because those who were stricken
were at once abandoned. The town of
Tuxtia had 5000 inhabitants, 600 of
whom are dead. Of the 5000 in Tonala
upwards of 200 are dead. This town
suffered most severely, twenty to thirty
persons dying daily. This horrible
epidemic broke out III July, 1882, on a
farm bordering on the river Chiapas.
Thence it extended to San Bartolo, where
it worked havoc for a month, and then
moved onward, shifting Chiapas and
TuXtia almost on the same day.
cit remained III those towns about
ten or twelve days, and then it went to-
ward Tenuantepec. Thence it penetra-
ted to the Atlantic and caused many
deaths in Tabasco and other places. 1t
is certain that it is a disease that only af-
fects the hottest regions, as not a case
occurred in San ChristObal, Las Casas,
although many moved there from the in
fected region. Some think the outbreak
occurred owing to an immense number
of locusts having been buried at the
farm near Chiapas River, where the cp-
idemic broke out. They were not suf-
ficiently covered. The hot weather
cracked the ground and pestilential ex-
halations followed which may have bred
the disease"

MeteOrS al Sea.

According to the Panama Star and
Her0ld. two vessels have narrowly es-
capped destruction by meteors. One was
the steamship Lima Of the Pacific Steam
Navigation Company, and the other was
the United States man-of-war Alaska. A
meteor which plunged into the ocean
close by the last-namcd ship lust after
sunset ON Dec. y is said to have terrified
everybody on board by exploding with a
great noise and a burst of flame Just be
fore it struck the water. This is not the
first time that meteors have fallen near
ships, and there is nothing impossible in
the suggestion that vessels may have
been sunk by them.
Meteoric stones have fallen on land
which were heavy enough, aud endowed
with sufficient velocity, to knock hole
through any ship. Within the last forty
years more than twenty vessels have dis
appeared Mt sea. How many of them
may possibly have been struck and sunk
by one of these flying missiles from the
sky, some of which follow in flocks in
the tracks of comets, while others are
lone wanderers i'll space until they fall
within the earth's attraction, and plunge
through her atmosphere with planetary
speed?
