back in a couple Of months with the Pres
ident's letters OF reply to the Queen, and
when get there l hope to get years
leave, in which to start some plans for the
benefit of the people. 1 have had some
very aattering offers. The Queen wants
me to found a royal college at the capital
and has deposited $4,000 with Barring
Bros. in London to make the start, and
hope to be allowed to carry out her wishes
in the matter. It VIII be necessary TO
purchase a great many scientific instru-
ments and books, ETC., with which to
make beginning. Yes, sir, Madagascar
is wonderful country, and if the proper
course is pursued she will make a name
for herself and be of incalculable benefit
TO the commercial world. Her resources
seem unbOunded.v
MIR. Shufeldt left Washington last night
for New York, where he is to speak before

A Great Crop.

a Northern journal writes: From day
to day in every mail the evidences Of a
great crop now being rapidly harvested
with good weather, are coming to hand,
showing the great mercies of a bountiful
Providence. Reports from the great grain
growing States show an enormous in
crease Of grain, which ripened so rapidly
that it can hardly be harvested fast
enough. The reports from Cincinnati and
other points West show that the railroads
can scarcely find cars enough to supply
the necessary transportation

HOW TO NIESMERIZE.
An Experiment which Can Be Easily
Tested.

will show you the method of mesmer-
izing which is, perhaps, on the whole,
most effective; it is very nearly that de-
scribed by Braid. 1t is the method only
which L wish to show you. With one
hand bright object, such as this faceted
piece of glass, is held thus, 8 to u inches
from the subject, so that there is a con-
siderable conveyance of the eyes, and
rather above the level of the eyes, so that
he is obliged to look upward. The sub
ject is told to look steadily at the piece of
glass and to keep his whole attention fixed
upon it. This position is kept up from D
to 10 minutes; during this time the pupils
will probably dilate considerably, often
assuming a slight rhythmic contraction
and dilatiOn; when this is the case, the
fee hand is moved slowly from the object
toward the eyes. If the subject is sensi-
tive, the eyes will usually close with a
vibratOry motion. In some cases the sub
iect is then unable to open them and the
usual mesmeric phenomena can be OBJ
tanned. If, when the operator brings his
hand near the eyes of the subject, the SUBJ
ject instead of closing them follows the
movements of the fingers, the whole pro-
ceeding is repeated, but the subject is told
to close his eyes when the fingers are
brought near them, but to keep them fixed
in the same direction as before, and to
continue to think of the object, and that
only. The operator then for some min
utes makes passes bringing his warm
hands over and close to the face of the
subject in one direction. When the sub
ject is inclined to pass into the cataleptic
state, an indication OF his condition may
be obtained by gently raising his arm; if
heis beginning to be mesmerized, the arm
remains in the position in which it is
placed. If the arm falls, the mesmeric
state may not infrequently be FASTENED
on by telling the subject to keep his arm
extended while he is still gazing at the
object or while the passes are being made.
And that is the whole of the process. The
man thus mesmerized sinks from man.
hocd to a highly complicated piece of ma
chinery. He is a machine which for
time is conscious, and in which ideas can
be excited by appropriate stimulation;

Farmer" in the person Of Col. j. c. Rich
ardson, also a successful lawyer of Green
vile, Ala. He was acquainted with the
Old-tIme farming, but reads all accessible
agricultural literature and has wonder
fully improved on the old methods, so
that he is not ashamed to he called book
farmer. He recognizes the fact that the
farm books and papers of this day are but
vehicles conveying the thoughts and ex-
periences of the most intelligent and sue
cessful farmers of the country, gathered
up, condensed and sent out to instruct the
inexperienced. As it is "human to err"
farm books and papers may err, but COM
mon sense will generally be able to sift
and gain much valuable knowledge from
that source at extremely small cost.

Grafting-How To Do It.

Every farmers boy should learn how to
graft. Few occupations give more pleas
ure or a greater reward. To convert a
wild and thOrny tree into one bearing
large and delicious fruit is wonderful
and fascinating process. The kind OF
grating most likely to be practiced on
the farm is that known as cleft grating
The process is a simple one. Saw off the
limb 10 be grated where it is an inch or
less in diameter; trim the edges of the
''stub," smooth and split it with large
knife or cleaver made for the purpose.
The cleft should not be more than four
inches deep at the most. A wedge is now
inserted in the centre of the cleft and a
cion is set on each side of the cleft. The
ciOns are made of twigs of last years
growth. They should be cut before the
trees show any signs of starting in the
spring. When the ciOn is prepared ready
for sestng it should contain about three
buds. The lower end is cut wedge-shaped
by slicing off each side Of the cion. On
one side of this wedge-shaped portion,
and midway between its top and bottom,
should be left one of the buds.
When the ciOn is set this bud will be
deep down in the side of the cleft in the
stub and will be covered with wax; but,
being nearer the source of nourishment,
it will be the most apt Of any buds to
grow, and it will readily push through
the wax. The cion is set into the cleft
by exercising great care that the inner
surface of the bark ON the cion exactly
matches the inner surface of the bark on
the stub. A line between the bark and
the wood may be observed. This line on
the cion, in other words, should match
this line on the stub. Wax the whole
over carefully and thoroughly. Do not
leave a crack exposed.
Grating wax is made as follows Melt
together rosin, beeswax and tallow in
equal parts and spread on cotton cloth.
Tear into strips and wrap round graft.

From repeated experiments l am con-
WINGED that vines should have the branches
of trees to climb on for the first few years.
Even when in bearing condition in the
vineyard with wire trellis they will show
their choice when a branch or vine can
catch hold of the branches of tree, dead
or alive. 1t will grow twice the length
that one will on the wires. My young
vines when set in the vineyard usually
get a young peach tree with the side
branches on it. The second year larger
one or a thin pole. The third year wire
trellis. IL a person could get Usage orange
or locust trees with the limbs left on,
believe we would grow more grapes than
on wire trellis. Such grape supports, if
we'll secured before setting, would last
many years. never saw finer crop of
Concord grapes than when a 4-year-old
peach tree was used for stakes with the
branches stubbed back. 1t was beacti-

Gambling may be the unanticipated
destroyer of modern civilization. The
riots of 1877 have sometimes been
debited to stock gambling. San Fran
cisco, rising like another Ilium, let in
the Trojan horse Of the Comstock lode,
and next was Kearney, Kalloch and the
sand lots. Another instruction in
Spain lately was charged to a stock
gambling coterie between Paris and
Madrid at the same instant we were ap.
prised of it. The French war in Anam,
which may be string to pull all Asia
together. is charged to schemes to
launch stock projects on the Paris
Bourse and pluck France of her
plethoric wealth. Macmillan died for
stock bubble and for the
same the Napoleons went out.
Egypt revolts and Alexandria turns

tuition or bylaws of the Lime-Kiln club
for member to hold position under

Influence of the Soil on Heath.

The influence Of the soil upon the
health of those living upon it, is very
plainly brought out during the preva
lence of epidemic diseases. That ma.
larial diseases dixie intermittent fevers,
originate from the soil, is already ac,
cepted and recent Investigations show
pretty conclusively that the germs OF
Cholera, Abdominal Typhus, Yellow
Fever, and the plague arein some way
connected with the soil, which is daily
corroborated by letters from all parts
of the country, stating the marvellous
effect Feruna has on those diseases, and
in their convalcscent state. JOHN E

Eject or Mineral Waters.


From experiments upon dogs, Lewas-
chew and Klikowitch have concluded,
that the effect of ordinary natural min
eral waters is to increase the quantity
of bile and to make it moro fluid and
watery. This increased flow is bene-
fetal in freeing the gall-bladder from
stagnant bile. The action of artificial
solutions of alkaline salts. as we'll as of
hot water, was found to be similar to
chat of the natural mineral waters.
