Burned Herself to Death.

A shocking and singular suicide was com mitted near Bakersville, Ohio, Wedne sday. While Mir. Joseph Powell, wealthy farmer, was near the house at work his wife, who was in the kitchen, saturated herself with kerosene and then set herself on fire. Her screams brought her husband to her rescue but he could not control tho flames although he threw water on Ter and endeayored to tear her clothing off. He was therefore compelled to see his wife burned and charred to a crisp before his eyes without being able to relieve her. Mrs. Powell's whole body was bIackened and scorched beyond recognition. and the flesh in places dropped from the bones. She lived only few minutes and died in great agony. She had attempted suicide by poison ing, and also by burning some time ago

Grnsshopper Tales.

Since the invasion of Northern Cali fornia by grasshoppers, there has been a marked revival in the literature apper- taining to this interesting insect.
 q remember in Fl, said a member of the Grain exchange yesterday, ''I was coming across the plains. We'll, sir; 1 was seated in car reading news paper about noon, when suddenly it grew quite dark, and thought sure a terrible storm was on us. It WAS a cloud of grasshoppers; so thick that when they settled on the car track they stopped the train. There was a good feed where we were just then, and it brought the 'hoppers to a halt. We were blocked for twenty-four hours, un- til a snow-plow was telegraphed for, and when it cut the way for us, it left a bank of 'hoppers on each side higher than the smokestack of the locomotive. !"
 "That was pretty bad, said another broker, "but l have seen worse. We were camped one summer in Kansas, making a survey for new town. The 'hoppers struck us at night, and in the morning we thought the end of the world had come. They were piled, sir, twenty feet deep over our encampment, and we were nine hours tunneling out of them. If we didn't happen to have afew giant powder artridges to blast out airholes we should have been suffocated before we could have struck a shovel into the mass"
 Didn't you hive any of 'em7" in. quired warehouseman, who had seen a good deal of Western life.
 'fWhat do you mean3n asked the bro- ker.
 ''Just this: was caught Tn the same fix you have told about, once in Kansas was in charge of a mule team, hauling supplies to a railroad camp. Among other things we had several thousand yards of canvfs for tents for the men. As soon as the grasshoppers struck us I put my gang to work, and in a short time we had canvas sack made, balloon fashion, only bigger than any balloon you ever saw. We'll, sir, we filled it chock full of hoppers-live hoppers- hitched it on to the wagons, and when the swarm started to go our caged hop pers went with them"
 "And took of your balloonn
 'tNo, sirree; they hauled our wagon for over seventy eight miles, when they broke down, and we bagged new lot. It beat mule power all hollow. Then it has occurred to me" But bis audience had gone, and the Western man growl ing, 'I suppose these blamed fools thiul I'm green" walked of to find mor, credulous and attentive auditory

Large fields of corn, standing on an average of eight inches high, looking fresh and green in the morning, before night became withered and dead Examination discloses in each hill myriads of worms, ranging from an inch and a quarter down to ope-eighth of an inch in length. Apparently they become completely distributed over e field, then begin simultAne- ously to work, and within very short time the whole is devastated. Nearly every piece of corn is more or less infested. The eggs from which the worms are matched are supposed to be deposited by a small yellowish-white miller. The worm is by the farmers termed the wei

BURIED ALIVE.
Nearly Two Hundred Men Imprisoned in
 the Pendlebury Mine.

terrible explosion took place in the Pen- dlebury colhery, near Manchester, Eng. Sixty persons have been rescued alive. Seven dead bodies have been recovered. The cages in which the volunteers were proceeding down to the bottom of the pit got stuck in the shaft and it was two hours before the party could get to work exploring the mine for the missing men, Those who were rescued state that when the explosion occurred they fled to the bottom of the shaft, and that they are ignorant of the late of their companions. The explosion was caused by tire-damp. There were working in the mine at the time it occurred 349 miners. One hundred and sixty of these were at work in the level in which the explosion occurred. They are still in the mine and cannot be reached owing to the masses of coal thrown down by the explosion and which closed up thelr means of exit. Great excitement has been caused by the disaster,

Household Hints.

Roll puff pastry from you, or all one way.
 Pickles or vinegar wilt not keep in a jar that has ever had any kind of greens in it.
 A red pepper dropped into the pan in which salt meat is boiling will pre- vent any unpleasant odor.
 Old-fashioned mirriors over the mantel are again in style, with the ad- dition of bronze or gaily- painted frames.
 Straw mating willfnot turn yellow if 1t is cleaned with large. coarse cloth dipped in salt water, and then wiped dry.
 It is said that piece of zinc placed on the coals of a hot stove will clean out the stovepipe. The vapor pro- duced carry off the soot by chemical decomposition.
 So highly decorated are the rattan chairs in the fashionable drawing rooms that it is hard to tell which is chair and which is ribbon.
 If moths are at work at the edges of the carpet, it will sometimes suffice to lay cloth and pass hot flatiron over it; but better way is take the carpet up, clean it, wash the floor with ben zine, and scatter red pepper on it be- fore putting the carpet lining down.

Recipes.

Beef Fritters.-Beef fritters are nice for breakfast; chop pieces of steak or cold roast beef very fine. Make batter of milk, flour, and egg, and mix the meat with it. Put lump of butter into a saucepan, let it melt, then drop the batter into it from a large spoon. Fry until brown; sea- son with pepper and salt and a little parsley.
 Potato Pancakes.-Two large pota- toes, three heaping tablespoonfuls flour. one teaspoonful baking powder, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one or two eggs, two teacupfuls of boiling milk. The potatoes are peeled, washed and grated into little cold water (which keeps them white), then strain off water and pour on boiling milk; stir in eggs, salt and flour mixed with the baking powder; if agreeable flavor with a little fine chopped onion; bake like any other pancakes, allowing little more lard or butter.
 Wab7es toith Sour Cream. pint of sour cream, two eggs, one pint of -four, one tablespoon of corn meal, one teaspoon of soda, one-half of a teaspoon ot salt. Beat the eggs separately, mix the cream with the beaten yolks, stir in the flour, corn meal and salt, add the soda dissolved in little sweet milk, and last the whites beaten to stiff froth.
 Bedn Soup. -Parboil one pint of beans; drain off the water; add fresh; let boil until very tender; season with pepper and salt; add small piece of butter; when done skim out half of the beans, leaving the broth with the remaining half in the kettle; add a teacup of sweet milk, dozen or more crackers broken up; let it boil up, and l serve.

Pressure in corn-Plantins.

A.recent bulletin of. the New York experiment station, inNdiscussing this point. scys: OftentimeS. corn that is planted early Is put ini the ground while the land is in a lumpy condition, and no pressure brought to bear to bring the soil in close contact with the corA The open spaces thusleft about the seed tend to retard, and under the varying conditions of heat and moist ure often destroy, the germinative pro cess. So marked is its influence that the per cent of germination by actual trial, as observed between two plats, both of which were planted at the same time. but upon one the soil was firmly pressed upon the seed with the foot, and upon the other the seed care fully covered by means of hoe, in the ordinary method, was largely in favor of the trodden plat. This trial was in accordance with a practical experience in farming, whereby it was found that the gain in crop through the use of a western corn-planter, whose wheel compressed the soil over the seed, as planted, compensated largely for the additional first expense of the machine, so much so that even it may be said that, under conditions of the locality noted, a farmer could better afford to himself plant his corn crop with a machine than to accept the gift of the planting with a hoe.

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
PlaGteF for Peas.

The Hon. F. P. Root, writing to Mir. Reynolds Rural of'the pea as farm crop, speaks of the effect upon the plant of land plaster-gypsum-as wonderful, even greater than on clo- yer, doubling the growth, and some times more"
 "No fertilizer I have4tried is so ben- ef1cial. It should be sown as soon as the plants show above ground, in quantity about the same as for clover, from one to two bushelsper acre. It Is quite remarkable that the effect of plaster sewn on peas should be so diff ferent from it's effect on beans, ,on which I have not been able to discern any effect whatever. The plants are alike leguminous and @analysis shows them to be quite similar in their compost ton, though the bean contains a some what greater mineral element, 1t being 8.45 per cent. whilst the pea contains but 2.87 per cent, showing that the pea is less exhausting to the soil The yield of peas is usually about the same or perhaps more than,that of beans"
