A Wild Garden.
ON the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Gardening Includes many branches.
Some of them are flower, fruit, window,
aquatic, bog and the wild garden. It
is of the latter we wish to speak at this
time. BY a wild garden we do not mean
a border where nothing but wild plants
from the woods and fields are grown, as
some have understood. The wild gar.
den, so called, is produced by making a
mixture of a great many Of the more
hardy seeds and sowing them from the
middle of April to the second week in
May. A five cent paper will SOW
a large bed, OF an ounce, which
will cost twenty-five cents, will be am
pie enough for a square rod of ground.
In these seeds which Ihave mixed for
the purpose, are hardy ANIMALS, fra
grant Mignonettes, peas, phlox and
morning glory, curious gourds, some of
them resembling hens eggs, dippers,
clubs, etc. and also the seeds of some
p%erennials, the roots Of which live on
from year to year.
All that is necessary is a piece of
ground well dug, and brought into
fine filth by raking. The seeds should
not be sown too thick. Keep the
weeds down, and our word for it, you
will be we'll pleased with your wild
garden.

Avoid Debts,

If it were not for the present indebt-
edness of farmers, these times of low
produce are very good. Wheat and
corn, i'll exchange for goods and gro
c%eries, have a greater purchasing power
than they have heretofore had in TWEEN
ty years. While wheat and corr are
low, hardware, cotton and wooden goods,
and groceries are much lower. But
farm produce commands a very diminu-
tive sum towards paying debts And
this is a strong argument against con-
tracing debts. Men seldom run crazy
in hard times, and buy everything they
see, at enormous prices, to be paid for
when money is plenty and produce high.
But they go wild in flush times, ard
contract immense debts which have to
be paid for probably when everything
is down at the lowest notch Avoid
debts. -Des Moines Register.

called the cacum. If q horse be fed
first, the water passing through the
stomach would be likely to carry with
it PARTICLES of food, and thus bring
about collie.
Whatever a groom may say, let o
horse drink just as much as he likes.
If he be watered tour times a day, he
will never take very much, or toe
much to be good for him. A horse, ii
must be remembered, is fed on dry
food, and this, with the strong work
done by a hunter. always produces
feverishness, which a suficiency Of
water tends to allay.

The Resources of Our, Country.

"Well, the fruit crop might be set
down as a total failure said the SUI
perintendent of the largest canning
factory in the State; ga total failure,
you might call it,
THAT will almost close your estab-
lishment, them" said the visitor.
''Oh, no, no." replied the superinten-
dent ION the contrary, we will have
to employ an additional force. Years
when there is no fruit we turn our at
tention almost entirely to putting up
jellies, and then, little later on, if
the potato crop turns out as we expect,
we will can about three million pounds
OF pears.
And as the visitor, silent with the
great awe that falls upon common
people when they stand in the presence
of genius, went softly out of the office,
he saw carload of hoofs and horns
unloading at the doors of the jelly de-

TYPE AND PRESSES.

Interesting Statistics of the Composing
Rooms of the Country.
The tables prepared for the last
United States census respecting print
ing, although both curious and valu-
able, have received only little attention
from the newspapers of the day. Part
of this, no doubt, arose from the fact
that the volume was published during
the heat of the last political campaign,
when all other subjects were dWarfed,
but part comes from the fact that the
results were not clear to many writer's,
who had not been bred to the art and
were not in the habit of analyzing sta
tistics. One of the tables which have
been least noticed is that showing the
number of pounds of type used upon
the newspapers of the United States,
and the quantity of type regularly set.
New York has 1,242,649 pounds of
type, or enough to fill cases for 81, 900
compositors, her proportion being one
fifth of the Union, which has $3.50, SIS
pounds. Five States, New York, Penn
sylvania, Illinois, Ohio and Iowa have
nearly one-half of all the type, and set
one-half of the number of ems. A
pound OF type sets elghty-three ems.
and assuming that the average size is
BREWER, there are for each thousand
set about |, 200 ems left in the cases.
The largest average set on dali es was
in Louisiana. 10000 ems, and the
smallest in New Mexico, $4,000 ems,
the average being 74,147. The average
on weeklIes was 57,197, the largest be-.
ing in the District of Columbia. $4,000,
while in Wyoming it was the smallest,
$4,000. Of the long-settled States,
Alabama had the smallest, $4,000 1.-The
total amount of type. set for one issue
would make 2 7S5 duodecimo Volumes,
and that done on the dailies in, a. year
would fill 10000 volumes to match

AN INDIGESTlBLE NOTE.
How Joker Was Compelled to Take a
Veritab1e Choke.

How "a Joker Was Compelled to Take a
Veritable Choke.
a Prussian army officer, stationed
at Berlin, frequently had occasion to
borrow money from an accommodating
israelitish friend, who only charged
three or four per cent. month. AS a
general thing, the officer, Baron Won
Pump, was able to meet his obligations,
but on the occasion TO which we allude
he was not able to do so.
Moses Levy was promptly on hand
to collect the money. He called at the
Baron Won Pumps room, and presented
the note.
"Moses, [ have heretofore always
been able to meet my note, but have
no money to pay this one. You will
have to wait
81 don't Wait at all. Ven you don't
bay dot note right away, I goes and
prings dot note shustus of der peace
pefore, and sues you on de spot
Baron Won Pump quietly locked the
door and put the key in his pocket,
whereupon Moses legs began to wob-
ole about for he was afraid of personal
violence at the hands of his creditor
The Baron produced pistol, and To-
oussed the unhappy Israelite with it.
Now, Mr.. Judas Iscariot, 700 take
that note of mine and eat it.
''Scheneral vas schoost jokin' NIT
you. | can Wait so long as you wants"
Il can take joke as well as any
body, and now it is your turn to take
a choke. Chew up that note and swal-
low it, or you are dead man." and the
officer pressed lightly on the trigger.
In vain did Moses protest that he
didn't feel like eating; that he was in
no hurry for the money.
"Down with it," Numbered the Off
Ger,
Although Moses was in no danger of
perishing for lack of food, he clearly
perceived that he might prolong his
life by the collation. to which he was
cordially invited. He chewed up the
note, principal and interest, and cram
ing out his neck he managed to get it
down.
Nov, you can go and bring suit on
that note, if you feel like it. Perhaps
the clerk of the court will put you on
file when you tell him where the note
is, said Baron Won Pump.
A few days afterwards the Baron re-
oeived some money from home, with
which he promptly paid Moses what
was coming to him.
"Scheneral, de next times ven you
wants some monies, schoost come to
your old friend, Moses Levy, who will
never 90 pack on you"
''All right, Moses. Next time l need
money I'll let you know"
Not long afterwards Baron Won
Pump needed some money, and mott
fed Moses to bring the amount desired
to his room. Having counted over
the amount, the officer took a sheet of
paper and began to write out his note
at ninety days for the amount.
IF you please, Scheneral, schools
tstop dot right away. l would not have

forth large cake of gingerbread.
