Determining the Worlds Age.

tDGtfOlI free ifess'
At one of the towns in Mississippi where
we stayed over Sunday couple Of stran-
gers got into dispute about. the age of the
earth. They were the sons Of planters, and
neither Of them over % years Of age. The
dispute started In good-natured way, but
ended In one Of them springing up, pulling
out bowie-knife, and threatening to carve
the ether up II his word was disputed
again. The other was defenseless, and
wisely held his peace. The man with the
knife sat down, and conversation turned to
other channels. BY and by the derenselcss
man gotup and lOunged away, and next we
saw of him, half an hour later, he was rest
ing the muz2le Of a double-b0rreled shot
gun against one Of the porch pillars Of the
hotel, and had us all covered. The ham
mels were up, his fingers on the triggers,
and his eyes blazed like tigers as he said
TO the man with the knife

"The two first class lnsccd oil mills with

gallons of linseed oil aud not less than

cent authentic statistics show that the cot

convertible into oil, this product contains
the richest nutriment for fattcning cattle,

scantily clad for the rigorous weather, and
the woman removed one of her wraps to
protect the child The driver discerned
that she was growing drowsy, and warned
her of the deadly peril of falling asleep. 1t
was of no use, nor did the vigorous shaking
be gave her serve to keep her awake.
Finally the driver seized her, threw her out
into the road, ard drove of with the child
at rapid pace. This last expedent was
successful, Awakened hy the shock of the
fail, the woman saw the stage disappearing
with her child. Her maternal instincts
aroused. She ran after the stage as fast as
she could the driver siackened up little,
lut did not sop until he saw that the poor
mother was thoroughly warmed by the ex-
crcise. Her life was saved. An hour later
the stage reached station, where buffalo
robes were obtained to protect her against
the deadly cold for the remainder OF the
Journey.

At twilight, viS,a-vis with fate,

New York SIn.l
A curious document was found in the
possession of James Bray, tramp, who
was killed at Plymouth recently. He had a
long roll Of paper, and on the paper were
the names of over 400 other tramps with
whom he had come in contact during his
travels. Bray made 1t point to interview
all the knights of the road as to their pres
cnt condition and what led them to take the
road. Opposite each mans name was his
answer. One hundred and sevcnty-seyen
said that they were out of work because
there was no work to do. Three hundred
and seven were in favor of free trade and
against n high protective tariff. Thirty
seven said that high tariff meant
protection for the American working
men and that their poverty was due to over
indulgence In strong drink. Over 100 voted
Cleveland's administration failure so far
as making the times better and 215 put the
blame on Congress for not establishing free
trade and thereby making markets for the
productions of American labor and ma
clinery. For the next Presidency, sixteen
tramp printers predicted the election Of
John Sherman, and l04 "New York" tramps
believed that Hill would be elected.

Soils for Fruits,

The best, soil for the production Of
the apple, says the C0uAtrp H9~a, is Il
deep. rich, moist loam with a sandy
subsoil; although it :ucceeds moder-
ately well upon any soil not too dry.
The pear delights in a deep, yich.
warm loan, with a clay su1soiI.
The plum requires . deep, mis-.
soil, but there must be no stagaant
water in it.
The cherry grows best in a rich.
warm, sandy loan. IF mulch Of
leaves, straw or brush is put around
them they will be very much benefited
BY it.
The ounce should be planted in a
very moist clayey soil, but free from
stlgnant water.
The peach produces fruit Of a much
finer quality when planted upon light,
high land with a southern exposure.
In this latitude northern exposure IS
preferable. 1t is also much more
hardy and longer ligei than upog a
stronger soil and a more northern ex-
posure.
The grape delights in high, light,
rich, stony soil aid produces its sweet
est fruit in the driest parts. On very
dry soils mulch of old haT, leaves,
brush, etc, during the months Of July
and August will be found beneficial,
but should be removed ii September
to allow the vines to more fully ma
ture wood and roots before very severe
weather.
Currants and gooseberries succeed
best in the soil advised for the ounce.
Rlspberries and blackberries are
more hardy if planted upon light.
sandy loan, but if large berries are
desired mulch must be used in JuIv.
On more moist land mulching is not
needed, but the canes are more liable
to be .winter-killed.
The different varieties Of stra awber-
ries succeed upon a great variety Of
soils; on moist land the berries are
generally larger, few in number and
Of inferior quality, while on light land
more and sweeter berries are produced
but they will be smaller. T. over
come the last difficulty heavy mulch
ing or thorough irrigation must be re
sorted to.
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser., 1885-04-03

Any wko want hot bells would find
it an excellent plan to colIec. leaves.
During warm spells, when there is no
snow upon the leaves they may lie
gathered The leaves should be emp
tied into the frames and filled nearly
to the lower upper side edges. After
lying in the frames for while, very
heavy coating Of perfectly fresh horse
manure should be applied over them.
Heat is then soon generated, and when
ready for planting few inches Of soil
should be applied to the surfa:e of the
bed
