WANTED TO SUFFER.-A gentleman, who
was riding along lonely road in Arkansas,
heard some one groaning, and turning aside
he saw a man standing near tree.
"Wkat's the matter, my friend?'
"Oh, Lord, caught in bear trap! Go on
away from here!"
"Let me assist in getting you out"
"Oh, Lord! Go on away, l tell you"
"Don't you want to get out"'
"I reckon do"
"Then why won't you let me help you"'

the ordinary millet, and having dairy of

he has tried (sorg rghum, amber cane, or sweet
corn, etc.,, for making milk, whether cut
green for soiling or when first coming into
bloom for hay. He gets two to three tons
per acre, and will sow twenty acres this
wear. l have tried itrepeatedly on my poor
soil here, but never got a good crop-proba-
bly, because not matured enough. Millet is
cultivated like Hungarian grass. June is

suppose that Christians can impress the
world by agreeing with it. No; it is not

LEACHED WOOD DAsHEs.-Ashes from the
stove or furnace contain all the mineral con-
stituents necessary for plant growth and are
therefore very valuable as fertilizer to a
worn out, naturally poor soil. 4 large part
of the potash is removed from ashes in leach
ing, and as this constituent is a leading one,
leached ashes are of less value as plant food
than when fresh. The owner should save,
in a secure place, all the ashes made and ap-
ply them to the land in the spring. a top
dressing of twenty bushels per acre to an
old pasture or meadow will give good re-
turns for several years. The leached ashes
should be disposed of in the same manner,
only they may be applied at the rate of one
hundred bushels per acre. Leached ashes
have been bought and used for many years
by farmers and gardeners on Long Island
and near the shore towns in Connecticut
These ashes are brought mainly from Cana
da. Ashes are especially good for tobacco
land, and onion raisers find them profitable.
1t has been observed that where this fertili-
zer has been introduced, it retains its hold
upon the confidence Of those who use it,
Fruit growers are glad to get leached ashes
for their small fruit gardens, and even Or
chards of large trees are much benefited by
them. Save all the ashes, leached or un-
Ieached, and if there is a good opportunity
buy and apply them.-Ame/Ican 4Agr'cW'u-

MAKING SUGAR.-The cane-stalkS, from
| four to eight feet long, cut and stripped OF
their leaves, are brought to the mill. Then,
strewn on broad belt, working on the prin-
ciple of an endless chain, theyar passed be-
tween three great rollers laid very close to-
gether and worked by steam. Thence the
thin watery fluid, very sweet to the taste
and yellowish in hue, passes to succession
of boiling-.pans or round caldrons, when 1T
| is boiled down by slow degrees, until the
crystalization point is reached, much the
same as is done with the maple sap of our
country. When the last boiling act is end
| ed the product is a mass of crystalized su-
gar, soaking in molasses. TO get rid Of the
| molasses, the old plan, and the one still
adopted on unimproved Cuban estates, is to
pour the mixture into hogsheads and let the
syrup drain off for several weeks through
| the cracks. This produces the Muscovado
sugar, an article inferior in saccharine
strength to the ''centrifugal" product. To
make the latter the sugar and molasses mix
ture is placed in huge perforated cylinder,
This cylinder revolves on an upright axis in
another large cylindrical vessel. Whirled
then with an enormous number of revOlu-
tions minute, the liquid is thrown out,
leaving the sugar crystals dry, and doing in
few minutes, and far more effectively, the
work of weeks by the muscoVadO method.
The crystals left behind vary in size from
mere speck to a small pea. This crude su-
gar has burnt brown tint, and tastes much
like the rock candy of the confectioner. The
scum that rises during the various boilings,
the refuse juice and fermented molasses is
treated by distillation to make rum.

THE TEACHERS THAT TEACH IN ILL
NOIS.-It is by some persons considered an
open question whether education educates.
There is no question that educational ma
chinery, properly fabricated with cash,
moves smoothly, taking in at one end of its
curriculum thousands of bright-eyed ur-
chins, and turning them out duly at the 9TH
er after five or six years with more or less
of knowledge. But the machine seems to
be out of gear in Illinois, and the urchins
will have apOOr show, as the following an
swers given at an examination by several
teachers in Adams county, Illinois, holding
first grade certificates, would indicate:
One named as three living American pO-
ets-Shakspeare, Byron and LongfelloW.
One teacher thought Shakespeare Wasdead;
thought he died in Indiana about twenty
years ago.
Another said "Pilgrim's Progress" was
written by Longfellow.
Another said "Uncle Toms Cabin" was
written by. byron.
Another thought bicycle was musical
instrument.
Another did not know what a telephone
was.
Another did not know that Congress was
in session the past Winter.
Another thought that Frelinghuysen was
a machine.
Several had not heard of the Vienna or
United States floods, or of the star route
trial. Most of them are men teachers, and
these are only part of the answers.

PRESERVING POWER OF SOIL.-lt is we'll
known that in soil where lime abounds,
dead bodies are fossilized in few years, or
even in a few months, after burriel. In soil
where there is no lime, there are sometimes
other elements which often preserve the
features of buried body unchanged for
many years. The philOsophic Hamlet,
musing by an old grave over the fact that
man turns into dust, and dust into earth,
eXclaimS:
Imperial Caesar dead and turned to clay
Might stop hole to keep the wind away!
But what would have been his musings
if he had stood beside the disinterred body
of his father and form appearing as natural
as when he gave the world assurance OF
man? Yet this might have been, for there
are numerous cases on record where Dodles
disinterred for removal, and after years OF
interment, have been found to be as well
preserved as if they had been only few
days dead. General Washingtons features
were quite perfect when his body was taken
up to be put in the sarcophagus, where 1t
now repOses. The same was true OF Gener-
al Wayne, when his body was removed
forty years after death and of Robert Burns,
twenty one years after burial. But 1t seems
almost incredible that the body OF John
Hampden, who was disinterred POO years
after death, should have been in a similar
state of preservation. But Lord Nugent re-
cords the fact His word is not to be ques-
toned. Possibly the most remarkable fact
of all these cases is that the bodies crumbled
to dust soon after exposure.

How TO MAKE TEA.-The proper meth
cd of making tea ought always to be
observed, yet although so simple, few seem
to know how. People will spoil it by boil
ing, or they will make weak decoction of
the almost tasteless Oolong or Hyson and
adding few drops of milk, will swallow
cup after cup of the insipid stuff and i'm
agine that they are taking tea. Tea to be
good must never be boiled, as boiling kills
the fine flavor and the aroma. There is
but one way to make tea, which is to allow
one spoonful for each person, you expect to
water boils,) let the infusion stand on the
table (never over the tire) and in from three
to five minutes, it is ready for use. A cup
of rosy Favored English breakfast two
thirds tea and one-third milk makes bev-
erage fit for an epicure, a philosopher or a
king.

THE GOOD OF FALLoWING.-Nea all
the good of following is obtained by green
crop that is either plowed under, or fed to
live stock, and the manure returned to the
land. A soil gains in its stock of available
plant food by growing crops, if none of the
soil elements are removed. Pasturage is
one of the best methods of recruiting land.
Potash and phosphoric acid are brought up
from the lower soil by the roots, and finally
deposited either OH the surface or in the
turf. In like manner, the nitric acid that
might have escaped in the drainage water,
is captured by. the roots, and changed into a
fixed form in organic compounds. Aquick-
er method of renewing the estrength of fee
BILE soil is to grow some escavenger plant, like
buckwheat, and plow under the whole crop,
thus adding organic matter rapidly to the
surface soil This may be followed by clo-
yer, a plant that has a special renovating
power, and by growing throughout the
whole season is one of the best means of
gathering and holding fertility. The fallow
is valuable, but in most cases a growing
crop does larger and more lasting work OF

PAINTING HOUSE WALLs.-If q plaster
ed wall be new, and has not been white
washed, it will do to size it with glue water;
but if it has been calcimined or whitewash-
ed, which is often the case, no glue sizing
should ever touch it. Any preparation of
that kind is liable, sooner or later, to peel
off and spoil the surface for any future
finish. A safer way is to take oil and coat
the whole surface before painting, which
makes fast union of any wash to the wall.
On such base oil paints will adhere per-
fectly.
But the principle trouble in painting
walls is found in the defective character
of the plastering. If one is building a
house, he can place the studding twelve
inches from center to center, SO that strong
laths will not spring and break up the NOR
tar at every pressure. The laths, too,
should be spread one-fourth' of an inch
apart, and the mortar have twelve pounds
Of hair to the barrel Of lime. This will
make wall that will stand like the walls
of the houses plastered a hundred years ago.
The reason why the piastering falls OIL from
our modern houses is because the lathS are
laid so close that the immediate swelling
cuts off the clinch, and the mortar is usual
ly too sandy, and has but SIX pounds OF
hair. On such surface are laid three coats,
when the clinch will fail to hold one. Pro
fessional lathers or masons themselves ought
to lay the laths and be sure of large
spread; then if the mortar is strong or rich,
with plenty of hair, there can be no falling
off. / have seen many houses SO poorly
plastered that the entire surface had to be
cleaned off and replastered after few
wears. A person coming into possession OF
such dwelling, no sooner gets the walls well
painted to his taste than they begin to
break up and disfgure the whole work. If
you are sure the work is well done, the
ceiling as we'll as the side walls may be
painted to advantage. When any portion
becomes soiled or smoked, it will then be-
an easy matter to wash it off. Rooms once
thoroughly prepared in that way last for a
lifetime and always look substantial and
neat. In case of cracks, make putty of the
same color as the paint and fill up.
