A New Disease.

Among the curious maladics which
advancing civilization seems destined
to bring in its train not the least re-
markable is that on which Partisan
doctors are bestowing a good deal of at
tention just now-the obliquity of mind
which has been called peur deS eSpaceS.
The sufferer is usually man in appar-
emily good health, and is affected with
no premonitory symptoms, although,
on the other hand, there are cases
where the malady results from other
diseases, and is introduced by feel
ing of weakness and sickness 1t gem
orally comes on suddenly, when the
patient arrives at q particular place or
is brought into the presence OF a par
ticular person. He then is observed to
be in mortal terror without any appar-
ent cause. The earth seems to him to
open into chasm before his feet, or he
finds himself isolated by an immense
and impenetrable space from the rest
of the world. If he is on the pavement
he dare not for his life step onto the
roadbed, but stands stock still to be
jeered at by the street boys If he is
on step, he is afraid to move up or
down for fear of being dashed to pieces
in some imaginary abyss. All this
time he keeps his wits-or, at least, q
great many of thom-about him, and
is sensible of his absurd position Some
times he has enough sense to avoid pla-
ces where the attack has come on be-
fore, or seems likely to do so again.
Another popularity is that most OF the
sufferers belong TO the liberal profess
sions, and to the higher ranks of socc-
ty. BY examination into a consider
able number of cases in the hospitals,
it was found that men more often SUI
fer than women, in proportion of
about four 10 one. London GEOOG.

Had Something Left.

Two or three years ago one of the
appropriations in the river and harbor
bill was the sum of $4,000 for inn
proving Goose Creek, Habana. The
government engineer for that district
succeeded in finding the said creek the
other day, after search of twenty-six
months. He found a rivulet three
miles long, six inches deep, and three
feet wide, and Oh the banks he found
solitary settler.
THE government has appropriated
$4,000 to improve this creek OBJ
served the engineer
81 know it, and Eve been waiting"
was the reply.
Il don't see what improvement is
needed or can be made. y
Reckon not, being as you are q
stranger, but this ere cash was appro-
priated to shovel down this ere bank
so that my old mule could git down to
water without breaking his Internal
back"
The Improvement of Goose Creek
was made nj Il cost of So, and the en-
gincer will either have to turn the cur
rent up stream or send the rest of the
appropriation back to the Treasury.

Burdette on the Farm and Garden.

This month is good time to pay the
interest on your mortgage and renew
the notes you gave a year ago. 1t is
also a pretty good time to take up the
notes you unwittingly gave to the cloth
peddler last Christmas under the i'm
preston that you were only signing
contract
Oats thrive best in an elevator. A
farmer who has 10000 bushels Of oats
in an elevator need not worry about tho
weather. Always raise oats in good
elevator and keep out of deal with the
Chicago man.
Look after the bean poles you had
left over from last year. You will look
n long time before you find any. They
have gone, partially into the insatiate
NAV of the all-devouring fireplace,
and the neighbors have stolen the rest.
Raise chickens. If you have got
nice little garden by all means raise
chickens. Your neighbours hens are
the best ones to raise. You will find
them from $50 a. N. until 600 p. m.
on your lettuce, onion, radish, and
flower beds. You can raise them high
err with a shotgun than anything else.
n. Railways eat the hen you raise.
?. S.-Cook the hen before eating.
p. SS.-Before eating the hen, that is.
Crush egg shells and feed them to
your own chickens, if you are foolish
enough to keep any. II the whites
and yolks are removed from the
shell first, they will crush more easily.
If good horse shows symptoms Of
going blind and is developing few
tirst-class spavins, it is time to sell him.
Sell him out of the country if possible.
Beware of the deacon who has q little
blaze faced "pacin' mare that he
wants to trade for 'just such boss.
Eternal vigilance is the price of the
potato crop. About ten hours day,
devoted to crushing potato bugs with
hard sticks, will probably save the up
per part of the patch for you. BY
the time you dig the potatoes you will
be so disguised with everything per-
tanning to potato culture that you
couldn't look potato in the eye with
out feeling of nausea, and as for eat
ing one. But this enables you to sell
the whole bushel without pang.
Young hens lay more eggs than old
ones. This is because the giddy young
things have not yet learned their value.
In few years they will know just how
to stand around on strike when eggs
are $l.1 dozen, and then rush out
and work double time. When eggs are
so common the tramps won'te them.

Singers love newspaper critics very
dearly, and make it rule to repeat in
their presence what they say behind
J their backs. Two famous artists
were standing on Broadway the other
morning tearing out their hair over q
criticism which had appeared in one Of
the daily papers in which they had
been likened to pair of "braying
jackasses.
"Nlio carol shouted the tenor, lie
hairs of whose mustache stood up like
so many pikestatfs; "do you efer read
somesing like a zatp'
.Dot loafer vas so trunk lest hide, "
erowled the baritone. carving the air
in his fury, ''zat he don vas apl tosaw
re stage. He don't know no more
aloud re moosic of re gr-rand mnstaire
IAN re horse-car!"
'Eef efer zee Eat fel," exclaimed
the baritone, 81 will smcsh re nose in
his face"
Just then the critic came along, and
the worthy melody murderers fastened
toward him with outstretched arms.
"Mio nio!' exclaimed the tenor;

"Eef could write likr.a Eat Would
no more sing-a,' said the baritone.
Then they hurried away and pledged
