New Story of Garfeld.

A gentleman who knew Garfield well
tells a story which has never before
been published of that remarkable man.
"We were sitting" said this gentleman,
sin the Office of the Secretary of the Navy,
MIR. Thompson Of Indiana, waiting to be
heard on some matter OF routine business,
when Garfield took his seat at a vacant
desk near by and commenced writing
with both hands upon scratch pads on
either side OF him. He seemed to write
with one hand as freely as with the
other. Both hands, in fact, appeared to
move automatically. The only differ
ence was that the lines on the tablet
written with the left hand, were rover
sed from the usual order. The conse-
queuce was that the writing on the left
hand tablet could not be read except by
an expert, or by holding up to a light
or before q mirror. / looked at the one
written with the left hand on it's upper
side, and while the lines seemed re-
arhably uniform they conveyed no
meaning, but holding the thin paper up
at the light | saw not only that the
words written were the same rs these
II Ine luoiet written Win inc lSlf
hand. but that every popularity
III the formation of o letter which
was found on the tablet was
exactly Reproduced on tho left
hand. The achievement was n marvel
to me, as / had never heard of it before,
although / have since heard that many
people do it. Garfield said that he
often wrote that way, whenever he
wished to preserve en- exact copy OF
what he was writing without having a
copy made by letter press, and that in
this manne he saved a great deal of time
without any more appreciable fatigue.
| asked him how he got into that habit.
He said that while teaching school once
he had occasion to use his right hand to
point out something and that uncon-
sciously he kept on writing upon the
blackboard with his left. Upon turning
to the blackboard to look at what he
had written, he observed that the writ
ing was reversed, but that he had full
use of his left hand for writing, and
from that time he made use Of both
hands. He was, in fact, completely
ambi-dextrous.'

The meeting called up a host of rec
objections. and the contrast between
their situations was so great that the
old drnnkard was sobered rs he realized
it. He was offered work, but he had
become too broken. The stick and tho
rule were no longer for him. He was

the Detroit Free Press.


Twenty years ago two Detroit attor-
neys, both of whom are still living to-
day and pleading for criminals entangled
in the meshes of law, we're returning
from Pontiac by the highway. About 8
o'clock in the evening they were stop
ped by O highwayman some three miles
from the city, and at the command of
Your money oryour life" both shelled
out. This is, M of the pair handed out
two or three dollars in wildcat zone
while the other was robbed Of about
500 in gold and a valuable watch.
Both were highly indignant, andth one
who lost most at once set the sheriff
after the robber and soon had him in
jail. He had made the complaint indi-
vidually, and a few days before the trial
was to, come off he remarked to his
partner:
Il supposed shall have to summon
you as a witness. You can, of course,
identify the fellow"
"N-o, l think not" was the reply.
"Whatl 1t wasn't Il week ago that
OOO!"
"Yes but he has since employed me as
his council, you see?"
Would yon take his case against me
when you, too, were robbed?" asked
the complainant, MS his face grew winter
than moonlight.
"Why not? You've lost your money
anyhow, while he will give me S75 to
clear him. If you have any witnesses
you'd better hunt 'em up, as we are pre-
pared to prove mn alibi!"
When the trial was called the defend
ant had no trouble in proving by his
WI lawyer that it was a case of mis-
taken identity, and those attorneys have
never spoken to each other since.

Hints for tn. Guest Chamber.

A square of oilcloth in front ofthe
oilet stand may save your carpet from
spots.
A spare newspaper one does not al
ways think to bring to use while comb
ing the hair. These are little things,
but "moighty convaneyant."
Pretty bedroom match safes can be
made out of two small baking-powder
tins. Remove the outside paper and
" with pale blue, pink or white
paper, on which paste birds or flowers.
Or they may be painted and vanished.
The v should be placed on the bot
tom, where it gives the safes q more
finished effect.
In the guest chamber always have a
copy Of the Bible printed in large. clear
type, also a few books or magazines.
The writer once passed several days,
the Sabbath included, with a friend.
Not knowing the custom Of the family,
in the morning he rose early as usual,
and waiting three and one-half long
hours brfore breakfast was announced,
with nothing but meditation to employ
his time.
Vacate one or two drawers in the bu-
real for the use of your guest, and see
that there are spare hooks in the closet

ct containing a few NEEDLES, spools of
cotton, threads of bnpk and colored

as many do, to make cuttings root by
cutting them from the bushes in the
Spring after the buds have started, will
very often result in failure; but if the
cuttings be cut in the Autumn and
buried ina sand bank until Spring,
success will be much more certain.
Before the cuttings are placed in the
sand they should be cut in such lengths
as are desired for planting out. From
six to ten inches may be considered
proper lengths. When cuttings are
left until Spring to be cut up, the top
cuttings, will not do so well, because
while in the sand numerous roots are
thrown out at the lower end Of each cut
ting, thus giving it the advantage of G
newly-cut cutting; but if cut in proper
lengths in the Autumn all will have
roots when taken from the sand. The
cuttings should be set in good rich land
that has no tendency to dry up during
the hot weather; if a portion of shade
can be afforded so much the better, but
if not they will do very well in the sun.
In setting the cuttings they should
never be set perpendicularly, but on an
ttliblc u loIey -hNe ueSlccS, suo oeO WV
enough so that only one or two buds
shall be above the surface, in cultiva-
ton tile greatest care should be taken
not to start the cuttings, for unless they
are we'll rooted it requires but very lit
tie to move one enough to kill it,
or at least to prevent rapid
growth. Cuttings properly set and
we'll cared for will rarely fail to grow,
and if the soil be rich and thoroughly
prepared, will make growth the first
year of from six to eighteen inches.
To get good strong roots they should be
permitted to grow two years before
transplanting, when they will be from
two to three %feethigh, if they have been
well manured and well cultivated.
Careful watch must be kept during
the months of May, June and July for
the currant worm, and as soon rs he
makes his appearance hellebore should
be freely busted over the bushes; a
neglect to do this for single week will
be fatal to the life of the cutting, at
least during the first year. In fact,
whatever be the age of a currant bush
the worms must keep off to secure sue,

How Ear Apart to Plant Potatoes.

1t depends upon the variety and it.
habit of growth. AS a general rule the
early kinds require less room then the
later ones for not having Vines so rank
and spreading they need to be planted
closer, that they may abont cover and
shade the ground at the time of full
growth, which the later varieties, with
their heavier growth of top, will do
equally well if planted several inches
apart; besides, these later and
heayier-yielding sorts require .
broader hill for the tubers to
spread in, which is only possible to
have by the width of the rows
apart. To test this question I took
three or four varieties, ranging from
the earliest to latest that 1 planted that
year for the field crop, and planted all
OF them at about so many different
breadths apart from q to 81 foot rows,
and by carefully noting the results,
found that the Peerless, and other late
varieties, yielded best, besides being of
better uniform good size when grown in
3 feet and 81 feet rows; but the same
varieties planted only2t feet apart gave
small samples and less weight of yield,
reckoning by the acre.
On the other hand, the Early Rose
and similar early kinds yielded just as
we'll by the row, in the 81 feet rows, as
i'll the 81 feet rows, or about as 6 tod, or
nearly once and n half better yield blythe
closer planting. AS a practical result of
thisexperiment Ihave since adopted the
gauges in planting, which are: % feet
rows for the early varieties, and 3 feet
3 80 inches for all the late kinds. At
these two gauges I have just six rows
to the rod Of one, and five rows to the
rod of the other, or SO hills to a square
rod of the Rose, and % hills of the Peer
less. makingit easy to reckon at any time
how the seed is boiling out in planting;
how much is being cultivated, or hoed
in a day, and what the yield is of any
variety, and in any part of the planters
business, which are generally LETT to be
guessed at, unless the farmer has this
handy way of making an exact c%alcula-
tion.-Henry Ives, Genesee Co, N. Y.
