A TKRILLlNG EPISODE.


n IutOIuOlNc Engineer lUSllHVt- HOW nc
Saved A Train and How he Saved Himself
On one of the darkest and stormirst

headlight threw Il strong reelection in
advance, but the storm was so blind
ing it was almost impossible TO dis
tinguish anything even at n short dis
tancc. Under such circumstances in
stinct necessarily takes the place of
sight. All seemed to he going well,
when, in an instant, the engineer re-
ycrscd his engine, applied the air
brakes, and came TO n full stop. Why
he did so he could not tell any more
than any of us can account for the
dread Of coming disaster and death,
and to the wondering inquiry Of his
fireman he simply said: II feel that
something's wrong Selling Ian
tern he swung himself down from the
cab and went forward to investigate.
Everything appeared TO be right, and
he was about TO return to his engine
when his eye caught sight of apcculiar
appearance ut the joint of the rail next
to him. Brushing thr accumulated
snow away, he looked II moment, and
then uttered mn exclamation Of horror.

SHEEP HUSBANDRY,
Platform Adopted at the WOol-Growers'
Convention at Chicago


mos, MISSOURI, New lOrk, Wisconsin |
and Iowa, Representatives were pres
ent from twenty-threc states. Hon.
Columbus Dclano, of Ohio, called the
convention TO order, and said that the
object of the convention was TO take
action toward restoring the duty of
1867 on wool. The wool-growcrs of .
the United States, whether they be-
long to the National Wool-Growcrs' |
Association or not, should be aroused |
to II knowledge of the danger which
threatened their industry. He pre-
dictcd that within five years the wool |
growers would be II power which con
grcSs could not afford to ignore.
Hon. Columbus Dclano, of Ohio, |
was made permanent chairman, and
X. 7. McCulIey, of Missouri, pcrma-
ncnt secretary. In his speech of ar-
ceptancc Mr.. Dclano urged the wool
growers throughout the country to or
ganizc in order to protect themselves.
They should insist Oh the restoration
of the tariff of 1867, and the politi-
clans, when they understood that
l,OOOOOO votes were at stake, would
acccdc to such u demand. The only
substantial encouragement ever given
to wool-growing in this country was
under tho tariff running from 1861 to
1883. In 1860 the wool clip was
10000, 600 pounds. In 1880 twas 300
100000 pounds During the same
period the number of sheep increased
from 2O,OOO,OOO TO jO,OOO,OOo, This
tarin' was abolished in 1888, and all
ready the depressing effect on the
wool-growing industry was apparent

Sunny Rooms.

Those who build houses, do SO for the
income they may yield. They are not
especially interested in the welfare of
those who may inhabit them. AS a
matter of observation we must insist
that shaded houses are unhealthy, that
every dwelling in which the
young aud growing live should have
sunlight pouring into some of its rooms
duriha~every hour of the day. The i'm
portance of admitting the sunny rays in
dwellings can not be too highly esti-
mated. These rays promote health and
strength. We are apt to feel that good
health depends on pure air more than
or. the influence of the sun. They both
have so great an influence on life and
growth that they should be allowed to
ill every room occupied by animals or
plants Light may be so direct and
brilliant As to be Injurious to the eyes,
then let its penetrating rays be softened,
but let them enter in such a way. as to-
de good and no harm. -
- Much has been said in recent times
about the value of sun bath. No
doubt it does produce and retain a
healthy condition of the body. Ii costs
nothing but the means of exposing the
nude body to the sunny rays in such a
way rs to exclude prying eyes. A few
aged persons. we have known, who
built n small room npon the top of their
dwelling in such way as to admit
freely the sunny rays but exclude all
eyes but His who lives in the space far
above. These men lived to see their
ninetieth year and more. They did not
hesitate to proclaim the great Influence
OF sunlight upon health and life. Others
will find, if they search,Athat sunlight is
worth more than gold-and pure water,

sunny house, always dry. win secure
health and strength. Any one who has
eyes and uses them may see that those
who live in the open air and under the
sunny rays are healthier and stronger
than those whose days are chiefly spent
in the shade: The feeble should seek
the sunny rays; many become feeble by
excluding from their homes the life
giving sun They do all they can to
exclude the source of all strength and
health. Let all pale. weakly women
court the sunny rays. and become robust
and strong. &c. n Alsea, u D., ~

Rhubarb Culture.

Rhubarb. like currant bushes, will
grow almost anywhere and under any
treatment, and Consequently receives
more iu-usage than any other '.green
thing growing" But for this reason it
should not be supposed that when grow
ing under neglect and abuse It will
do its best and produce as abundant
crops and of equally good quality as
when good treatment is given. .-
After-it is once planted rhubayb re-
quires little cultivation, but it must
have at ali times deep, rich soil, the
richer the better In field culture the
roots are planted about four feet apart
each way, and cultivated like any hoed
crop. In the family garden they should
be planted two TO three feet apart. in u
single row, at least four feet distant
from other plants.
Ii may be raised from seed, but as
there Is little reliance in the seedlings
being of the same variety as the parent
plants, division of the roots is the meth
oil of propagation usually adopted.
Any piece of root with bud or crown
viii grow if planted about two inches
deep in mellow soil firmly pressed
around it. Roots may be planted in
autumn or early spring. Plantations
are usually renewed every four OF five
years, yet when a LIBERAL dressing of
manure is given every fall the roots
will produce a crop for an almost in
definite period. Heavy manuring.
clean cultivation, and liberal space are
the essential requisites for raising large,
sueeulent rhubarb. The varieties best
known are:
Iinn9uS, grown extensively for
market as well as home use. 1t is early,
very productive, and of brisk, spicy
flavor. Its principal fault is that it
seeds so freely that unless all flower
stalks are cut oil as soon as they appear
the crop deteriorates rapidly.
Victoria is later, has larger leaves and
stalks, and requires very rich, rather
heavy ground for its best development.
Paragon is a. new variety, originated
in England, and now introduced here.
The stalks are bright red, heavy. and
produced in quick succession and great
abundance. 1T is earlier, of more deli
cate favor, and decidedly less acid
than any other variety we are ac-
duainted with But its most remarka-
bic and most valuable qualification is
that Il does not produce flower stalks,
In which fact its great PFoductiveness is
mainly attributable, all the strength of
