TO BREAK UP SITTING HENs.-Do not
drench them in water, nor put them IN i
barrel with an inch or two of water in the
bottom, nor tie them by one leg TO tree,
nor any OF those cruel practices, which
our fathers in their ignorance used, to
quenrh the natural instinct. But take
them from the nest, put them in large
coop in the open air, under a shade tree,
if the weather is warm, and feed them
largely with everything, including baked
beans, that you give to your laying hens.
In many cases the fowl commences to sit
when she is in good condition to keep on
laying eggs, if we can but get the notion
out OF her head that she must be a cluck-
ing mother.
She needs perhaps the material for egg
shells, which may be easily supplied.
Furthermore, she should not be put In 4
small coop, where she will sit down and
not obtain exercise; better put her in a
pen having no floor, but loose earth,
where she may scratch for a living. Ac-
tivity will tend to forgetfulness of the sit
ting fever or desire to sit. 1t is well to
provide also for social activity, and to this
end Il cock may be introduced to pen
where sitting hens are kept. He will talk
in his own language, scratch with the
wou,d-bc sitters, and soon eggs will be
found when you may be sure that the
time has come for more freCdom.-Poult,y

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

PorATo SEED.-A farmer planted in his
garden ten rows of Irish potatoes, each
row consisting of four hills. His object
was to ascertain the amount of planting
material requisite to reach satisfactory re-
suits. Here is the result;
First row-One eye in each hill. Pro-
duct, forty pounds of well-developed po-
fatoeS.
Second row-Two eyes in each hill.
Product, fifty pounds of tubers, rather
mixed rs TO size.
Third row-Three eyes to each hill.
Product, fifty-six pounds of mixed sizes,
many small ones.
Fourth row-SeeG end of medium po-
tato. Product, siXty-three pounds, very
few small tubers, mostly large.
Fifth row-Butt end of 4 medium po-
tato. Product, fifty-one pounds; few
large tubcrS, mostly small.
Sixth row-Oue small potato. Product,
sixty pounds, mixed as to size, MANY
small ones.
Seventh row-One medium-sized potato.
Product, sesenty-three pounds Of tubers,
very fine and large, few small ones.
Eighth row-One large potato. Pro-
duct, one hundred and two pounds of
uniformly large size.
Professor Roberts reported to the New
York Farmers Club that he had found
that under the same conditions small po-
tatocs for seed gave the poorest result, the
middle part of large potatoes next, the
seed end next, and the stem end the best.
n whole large potato, with single eye,
was the best possible seed. More work is
needed, but better crops are secured by
cultivating in rows Or drills rather than
in hills,

Oscar Wilde on America.

A large audience assem- bled at the
Crystal palace yesterday to hear Mr..
Oscar Wilde's lecture on his impress
sions and experiences of America. Mr..
Wilde (who has discarded knee
breaches and reassumed the prosaic
trouser) said that the Americans are
the nOisiest people in the world, whose
national occupation is catching trains.
Pennsylvania, with its rocky gorges
and woodland scenery, reminded him
of Switzerland; the prairie of piece
of brown blotting-paper. Everything
is twice as large as it should be; every
where is twice as far rs it should be.
He visited Leadville, the chief charac-
teristic of whose inhabitants is the
constant use of the revolver. He lee
tured to them upon ''Benvenuto Gel
lini, His Life and Works." and was re-
proved by his hearers for not having
brought that artist with him. The ex-
PLANTATION that he had been dead for
some little time elected the inquiry.
who shot him?" Among the more
elderly inhabitants of the South he
found q melancholy tendency to date
every event of Importance by the late
war. How beautiful the moon is to-
night he once remarked to a gentle
man who was standing next to him.
Eyes, was the reply, ''but you should
have seen it before the war" SO in
finitesimal did he find the knowledge
and appreciation of art west Of the
Rocky mountains, that an art patron
one who in his day had been miner
actually sued the railroad company for
damages because the plaster cast of
Venus of Milo, which he had imported
from Paris, had been delivered minus
the arms! And, what is more surpris-
ing still, he gained his case and dam

Education Fifty Years Ago.

One cold winter night long time ago,
we'uns was all 2 settin' round the fire
roastin' sweet taters to eat longer sim
mon beer; and pap he lowed says he:
"Maw." What" says she. EFF it
takes the last bottom dollar" says
he, Pm gwine to gin Betsey little

she. You'd better lay out your money
for vittles and clothes. | don't believe
in too much book iarnin'. Education
is the ruination of some folks. Let 'em
git little smatterin' Of books, and
they haint fifteen for nothin' else on the
face of the yeth. You've got that gal
spilled now" He was sorter tight that
night, and NAV she's alters mad when
he's drinkin'. Jist then the dogs bark
ed and somebody hollered and axed to
stay all right, and it was the new
teacher, Mr.. Westfeld, q huntin' up
scholars. He bargained longer pap
to do some carpenters work for him,
and agreed to wait on him for tOther
part of his pay, and so on Monday pap
he sent us all three to school. me and
buddy and sister Flurridy Tennysy.
Pap he went around the settlement
and helped him make up his school.
Some wanted him and some didn't.
You'd have to make a teacher and
hand him down from the skies to suit
every body in this settlement; and then
some would find fault of him. Some
lowed he was too highfalutin and
mought put big notions in the chilluns'
heads. Pap told 'em he'd better put
big notions as none at all for some of

ours lowed she alters got along mighty
well without books herself, and her
chullun could do the same; they wasn't
no better'n she was.
Well, she was right, they wasn't
bit better, and wasn't likely TO be. Old
man Lofts lowed he'd send Jake and
get him to larn him how to fgger a
little, so as to keep folks from cheat
in him; but fur as his gals was con-
surned it would ies be q THROWN mon

never had no schoolin' in his rasin',
and he didn't see but what he got
along about as well as your hi h
larnt geog'phy and grammarnary,

enough to count all the money he could
make, and that was as fur as he seed

@-@-SSn~------------------
The Southern Negroes Dog.

When you come to study the matter
Oh will find just as much difference
between the Southern negroes dog and
the white mans dog, as there is be-
tween the canine owned by an Indian
and one which comes when q Senator
snaps his fingers.
The Southern colored man who is too
poor to have mule, OK, pig, fowls,
doors, windows, or fireplace in his
cabin, has q representatives four or
five. When he comes to town at least
one follows him. When you pass his
home the whole family of CANNES bark
at you from a distance, or silently gaze
at you from the doorstep.
The negro's dog is SLOUGH. He is
built on wrong principles to begin with.
1t would seem as if half of him had
been on earth for q year or two before
the other half was hitched on. He
seems to realize that he isn't ''purtv,"
and he behaves accordingly. He is al
most invariably of Z dun-color. He
sidles along where other dogs trot, and
If he isn't stump-tailed he is lucky ca
nine. He follows along in humble
manner, as if begging pardon for being
on earth, and the smallest whiffet can
scare him until his eyes hang out like
peeled onions.
You never saw one misbehaVe in
town. He sits under the wagon, if
there is one; if not, he follows his mas
ter's heels up and down and around in
AFFECT humility, ready to run at the
slightest aIarm-ready to return as
soon as danger has passed. Step on
him and he will not show a tooth; speak
to him and he skips out with his tail
dragging. The master may be ever so
independent, but his dog has no bust
ness on earth. He is an interloper.
He feels this, and he sinks and
slouches, and if perchance he happens
to utter bark as stranger rides I'D
he is at once seized with the most
dreadful remorse, and away he goes
for the swamps to do penance and con-
vince himself that it was purely acct
dental. Detroit Free Press

LeopoId's Presentiment.

A most extraordinary presentlment
on the part of Prince Leopold is now
related on the highest authority. On
his way to Cannes the prince was
conveyed on board the fine private
yacht owned by his private companion,
Extra Equery Captain Alexander Glen
worth Paul Clinton Perceval. 1t is
not generally known that this yacht
was wrecked with the royal party
aboard in the gulf Napoula ana when
but short distance off Cannes. The
wreck of the craft was complete but no
life was lost as help was near at hand.
But the young prince was much pros
trated by alarm, and upon his recovery
issued the strictest orders to keep Sc
cret the accident, because he feared
the result of the intelligence upon the
health of the princess. That afternoon
when Leopold had safely reached his
private apartments in the villa Nevada
be lay down to sleep away his nervous
ness. When he awoke he sent for Cap
| tain Perceval and talked with him
about the wreck. Leopold was unusu-
ally melancholy. He sat at u window
overlooking the beautiful bay, and cast
ing q sorrowful look toward the place
where the accident occurred, said plain
lively:
'.Perceval. don't know why it is,
but have the most gloomy forebod-
ings. / have such ill-luck. | would
not mind it if it affected me only. But
my evil fate seems determined to make
my friends share my misfortunes. l
believe / am doomed to bring sorrow
and disaster to all those / desire to be
with me as friends. This feeling OPP
pressed me inexpressibly to-day, and l
have been unable to rid myself of the
thought that | would rather die here
than anywhere else / have ever been.n
Captain Perceval tried to argue the
prince out of his melancholy, but failed
to effect his purpose. Leopold
died in PerceYaPs arms in the very
window where he confided to him his
forebodinps

An Ancient Medal.

a medal was found last week by Mr..
Henry j. Bleckman while working in
the garden at home. 1t is now before
us and is the size of a silver quarter.
After cleaning the rust off, on one side
is seen a vignette of President w. II.
Harrison, and circling this is the in
scription Maj. Gen. w. II. Harrison,
Born Feb. 8, 1873" On the other side
are the inscriptions: The Peoples
Choice" and 1.-The Hero of Tippe-
canoe" In the center stands Major
Gen. Harrison's log cabin on the Ohio
river, with only one door and one
window. From pole extending up
ward from the apex of the roof the
United States flag is flying in the
breeze. At each end of the house
stands a tree, and under one of these
lies barrel. which, no doubt, contain
ed cider. The gourd which was used
as a dipper, hangs on the tree above
the barrel, and can be plainly identified.
General Harrison was inaugurated
president of the United States on the
4th of March, 1871. The medal de-
scribed above was found April 4, 1854
forty-three years after the death of Mr..
Harrison. A hole in the medal shows
that it was once worn rs q charm
