Just in Time.

John Russell (coloredJ was engaged
in blowing near Fredericksburg, Va.
and had set fire to the stubble so 1t
would burn off. While the fire was
burning near the bank of Hazel run,
he says, it occurred to him that he
ought to unhitch his horse and shelter
himself behind g tree near by from
some danger, he knew not of at the
time. This thought so impressed
itself upon him that he did unhitch
and took a stand near the tree. He
had been there but few minutes
when a loud explosion took place, fol
lowed by another and another in rapid
succession, until the eleventh one had
taken place. John says he was terri

The Origin Of Crowns.

The crown was originally a reign
Gus rather than civil ornament. The
first mention we have Of such an or
nament is to be found IN the history
of the Amalekites bringing Saul's
crown to David. The first Roman
who wore a crown was Tarquin, G
SIC. Originally it was only a fillet
tied around the head; afterwards it
was formed of leaves and flowers. and
also of stuffs adorned with Jewels.
Later emperors varied the style accord
ing to fancy. The royal crown was
first worn in England by Alfred, in
S71; it is said to have had two little
bells attached.

The best and only way to grow
cheap corn is to increase the yield per
acre. There is a fixed cost in growing
an acre of grain, let the yield be what
it may, and every bushel that can be
added to the yield per acre reduces the

perience several years ago.
''When | lived in Illinois, one of
my neighb0rs. lost good many hogs
by cholera, and being scarce of water
when ready to fatten his hogs he
built rail pen around an old we'll in
his field, After his hogs bad been in
his new pen week or ten days he
noticed that the old clay anG gravel
that had been dug out of the well was
disappearing very fast, and he watched
his hogs when they were not eating
corn and saw they were busy eating
the clay and gravel. Before the hogs
We're fat enough for market they had
cleaned up all the old clay and all the
ground. He never had hogs do as
well and lost none that fall. The next
fall when he was ready to fatten his
hogs he dug trench,s two or three
feet deep, by thirty or forty feet long,
and built his pen around these bitches
and fattened his hogs there. He had
not lost any more in fattening up to
