college for the session ending June %, 1888,
has been published. 1t overlooks College
station, eight miles from Washington, and
thirty-two from Baltimore. In addition to
the ordinary college curriculum it adds the

tiOn by wagon road with Hillsboro,

mosa. IL was the universal opinion
that the lower country should put the
line through to the Rio Acequia nearly
half the distace. while this end would
build down to meet them. BY this
route it will be no more than t~hirty-fve
or forty miles to Hillsboro from Chic
ride with the line continually through
4 rich mining country. If this line Is
made practicable for travel 10y vehicles
the citizens here are assured by Alex.
Rogers, general agent, that the South
Western'Stage company will put on a
line of coaches at once and a mail
route can easily he established. This
arrangement would be of incaculable
benefit to all quarters Of the Black
Range. When thisline is established
visitors to n end a easily see ali

of the range and 20 out at the other
instead Of rushing into n section and
rushing out again as they usually do at
present. The road must he built,

to find their opinions and desile s in the

SMOKING IN THE PRESENCE OF
WoMEN.-The woman who does not
require of a man the form of re
spect, invites him to discard its
substance; and there is one viola
tion of the form which is recent
and gross, and might well be cited
as striking illustration in the de,
cay of manners. 1t is the practice
of smoking in the society Of ladies
in public, and in private places,
whether driving, walking, sailing or
sitting. There are preur eheoallers,
who would be honestly amused if
they were told they did not behave
like gentlemen, who, sitting with a
lady on a hotel piazza, OF strolling
in a public park, take out cigar,
light it, and puff as TRANQUILITY as if
they were alone in their rooms.
Or young man comes upon the
deck of a steamer, and blows clouds
of tobacco smoke in their faces
without even remarking tobacco is
disagreeable to some people. A
man when he unconcernedly sings
false betrays that he has no ear for
music; and a man who smokes in
this way shows that he is not q

TACKS.

! A tack is q simple, unpretend-
ing sort of a young nail, noted for
its keen reparbee when pressed for
a reply, and possessing the peculiar
power when standing on it's head,
of causing the cold shivers to run
down the back of man in mere
anticipation of what might be.
Tacks are in season all the year
round, but the early spring is
usually the time selected by them
for grand combined effort, and
then they flourish everywhere for
at least month. Since the in
auguration of the time honored
ceremonies of house cleaning, every
thorough housekeeper, with long
experience in the line of duty,
so takes up the carpet as to retain
all the tacks in their original
places, thus preventing it slipping
from the shakers hands, unless
the tack breaks or his fingers give
out. But the triumph of the tack
is not complete at this early stage;
it patiently abides its time, and on
the relaying of the carpet issues
forth with double force. After
searching the entire house for
paper of tacks, without success, the
unfortunate man drops Oh his
hands and knees to begin, and i'm
mediately discovers four tacks at
least, and as he rolls over and sits
down to extract these, finds the
rest Of the paper directly under
him, and then unless he is man
accustomed to put up stoves and
join stove pipe the chances of lay
ing the carpet on that evening are
slight In selecting tacks from
saucer he always inspects the
points with his fore-fnger, as the
tack instantly loses its head when
they come to blows. In argument
the tack is sharp and pointed, but
the display of either or both, de,
pends largely on the amount OF
pressure employed by its oppo-
nent. In direct contrast to good
joke the amusement generally be-
gins before you see the point, and
this fact is easily demonstrated by
walking the floor in your stocking
feet, a well.kept room on such an
occasion averaging two tacks the
square 1oot
The future of the tack gives
great promise of more extended
usefulness and unlimited possibil,
tiles, as several of our most emf
nent college professors having
carefully studied the effect OF a
sharp tack of reasonable length
placed properly in a chair or under
a cot, are about to introduce tacks,
and do away with spring boards in
our college gymnasiums.

The BLACK PEA.-The pea crop is
the cheapest crop we can raise in
this section. The yield is very
great with little labor, and that on
very ordinary soil. I have been an
observer and experienced cult
vator OF this crop, and my ex
perience gives preference to the
black pea. It grows luxuriantly,
yields abundantly on new or old
soil. In handling there is little
waste, as the hull is soft and high
ly elastic, allowing few OF the peas
to escape by packing or removing.
The vine is most excellent fodder,
being soft to the very root, never
hardening even when dead. Other
kinds I find generally woody, SO
much so as to be unfit for fodder,
great part being rejected by stock
the hulls brittle and subject to
great waste in handling, the loss in
gathering serious. Stock unused
to the black pea will at first appear
somewhat reluctant to eat on sight,
but will soon learn to give them
preference, at least such is the case
with this kind I cultivate. They
yield abundantly planted with corn
or alone-by latter method far bet
ter. In cultivating them I adopt
the same method of culture others
do. One plowing issuficient.

ONE SQUARE AcRE.-The number
of square feet in an acre is 1850.
In order to have this area the piece
of land must be of such a length
and breadth that the two multi
piled together will produce the
above number. Thus an acre Of
land might be 1850 feet long by
one foot broad; 21,7SO feet long by
two feet broad; 14,250 feet long
by three broad and SO on. If the
acre of land is to be exactly square,
each side must be as nearly as pos
sible $50 feet II inches. The near
est you can come 70 an exactly
square acre with an even number
of feet on the sides is to make it
220 feet long by $50 broad.
