a QUAKER IN WESTMINsTER AB.

Az Westminster Abbey Isaac Hopper

the Friend, with an affectation,pf ignor-

"Your coat /" responded the man, smil-

in church, SIR" answered the door
keeper. "I see no church here" re-
joined the Quaker; "perhaps thou mean
est the house where the church assem-

is the people, and not the building, that
constitute q church2" The idea seemed
new to the man, but he merely repeat
ed, "You must take off your hat, sir. "
But the Friend again inquired, "What

knowest Scripture commands US not to
worship craven images" The man per-
sisted in saying that no person could be
allowed to pass through the church
without uncovering his head. swell,

conscientious scruples on the subject;

doorkeeper were not strong enough to
compel him to that sacrifice, and he
walked away without saying anything
more on the subject.

TWO FAMOUS CATES.

The Mammoth Gave is in Edmondson
county, near Green river, about seventy
i've miles from Louisville. It's entrance
Is reached by passing down wild, rocky
ravine through dense forest. The cave
extends some nine miles. To visit the
portions already traversed, it is said, re-
4uires $50 to 200 miles of travel. The
cave contains succession of wonderful
avenues, chambers, domes, abysses,
rottoes, lakes, rivers, cataracts and
other marvels, which are too well known
10 need more than reference. One
chamber-the Starts about 500 feet
long, seventy feet wide, seventy feet
high, the ceiling Of which is composed
Of black gypsum, and is studded with
nnumerable white points, that by dim
light resemble stars, hence the name Of
The chamber. There are avenues one
and half and even two miles in length,
some of which are incrusted with beau
hful formations, and present the appear
ance Of enchanted palace halls. There
is a natural tunnel about three-quarters
Of mile long, 100 feet wide, covered
with a ceiling Of smooth rock forty-fve
teet high. There is a chamber having
IN area Of from four to five acres, and
there are domes 200 and 300 feet high.
Echo river is some three-fourths of o
mile in length, 200 feet in width at some
points, and from ten to thirty in depth,
and runs beneath an arched ceiling ot
smooth rock about fifteen feet high;
while the Styx, another river, is 45O feet
long, from fifteen to forty feet wide, and
from thirty to forty feet deep, and is
spanned by a natural bridge. Lake
Lethe has about the same length and
width as the River Styx, varies in depth
from three to forty feet, lies beneath a
ceiling some ninety feet above its sur
lace, and sometimes rises to a height Of
sixty feet. There is also a Dead sea,
quite somber body Of water. There
are several interesting caves in the
neighborhood, one three miles long, and
three each about mile in length.

the number and variety of its stalagmites

Harvesting Beans.

Just as soon as this crop has sufficiently
ripened together, which may be known
by the pods turned yellow, the vines
should be pulled and spread out thin upon
some Stats or open platform, where the
air can have free circulation above and
below, and the sun shines directly upon
them, and as soon as dried taken to the
barn for threshing.
If this crop is left exposed to heavy
rains, the vines are beaten down into the
dirt, where they remain wet for some
time and the grain greatly injured. Every
farmer knows this to be so, and knows
also that sufficient care in harvesting is
not usually exercised. A greater portion
of the beans in the market show this, for
there are but few lots found free from
black or damaged kernals. This need
not be so, for no plant grows and natures
its seeds more perfectly, and all imperfec-
tons come from improper management on
the part of the husbandman.
One great difficulty arises in getting the
vines ready for the fail after pulling, as
the pods on some varieties, ripen before
the leaves and stalks 60 out of the succu.
lent state, and in cases of this kind, the
advantages of spreading them on an open
platform will be seen over the usual mode
OF stacking around an upright pole. When
the vines are staked for curing the process
tor drying is so slow that the grain is sub
ject to very great deterioration in quality
and flavor for the table use, especially if
moistened by rain during the time.
When bean vines are harvested in good
condition, they make an excellent feed for
sheep, and the grain is also very valuable
tor the same purpose; they are tull of rich
farinaceous matter. and exert healthy
and vigorous effect. They are especially
good for ewes in the spring, and for sheep
that have been reduced in flesh at any
time. Mouldy beans may be fed to stock
but should first be washed in warm water
in which a little salaratus has been dis
solved. This will remove the bad influ.
ence in part, and although the grain be.
comes softened and swollen, they are
rather improved than otherwise, to suit
the taste of animals.
