between Asheville, St Clair county,
and Gadsden. The shades Of
evening had closed decidedly, and
na ght was heard but the voice
of the katydid and the occa-
sional screech Of the owl. The solitary
rider, who Was Jour humble servant,
was tired and hungry. He had been In
the saddle since early morning, and had
not had = square meal the whole day.
1t was with feelings OF pleasure, then,
that he saw q light by the roadside. Al
he approached it he saw that it pro-

brought several Of tho natives to the
door. stranger, won't you light" ex-
claimed one Of them.
The stranger lit and fastening hi7

of revelry by night presented itself.
Tho room was lighted by Pine knots
burning in the fireplace. Tho AaQr
was made Of pupche0ns and was by no
means rs smooth as the surface Of tho
conven tional ball room. None the less,
about two dozen young men and maid.
ems were tripping it merrily. Tho music
was furnished by the young men in

some knowledge Of the fiddle. Tho
young ladies' from time to time would
go to tho fire to warm their feet, which
caused mo to make the astounding dis

On Robinson Crusoc's land.

Opposite the harbor of Valparaiso
stands the island of Juan Fernandez,
sacred to the memory Of Robinson
Crusoe 'sand his man Friday, who kept
things tidy and listened to the tales his
master told" There isn't boy where
the English tongue is spoken who
hasn't read description of this island
better told than am able to give it,
and it is only necessary to say that
Daniel Defoe. or whoever wrote the
book, must have studied the place with
great attention or had the island cre-
ated to suit the picture he gave OF it.
The little harbor is there, with the
rocks and cove, just as 1t was when
Robinson went ashore; the cave is in
good order still and the tfs up which
he aud Friday used to chase the noun.
tain goats. The goats are there. and
the armaGil.os. the birds OF wonderful
plpmage and the. craw6sh among the
rocks. Every boy in the United States
who has read the story recently could
go all over the place without guide
and find everything except Robinson
himself and the faithful Friday. The
island belongs to Chile. and is leased to
. cattle company, which has 20, 600 or
80. 600 head OF cattle and a. many more
sheep grazing over the hills.
There are about City or sixty inhab.
itants, ranchmen with their families,
under the charge OF a Frenchman
named Crave. and besides the stock
they raise quantity of poultry, and
ship chickens and eggs. with some veg.
etables. to the Valparaiso market.
The timber ON the island is said to be
OF an excellent quality. but is not much
used. No one ever goes there without
bringing away cane or two az a me.
mento, aud the brush from which these
canes are made is Of very beautiful fiber,
and pol:shes well. Excursions 20 over
frequently from Valparaiso. and the
interest in Robinson Crusoes exper.

Embarrassment Not a Distinguishing Char
acteristic of the Costa Isicans.
No Costa Rican lady or gentleman is
ever embarrassed. They always know
how to do and say the proper thing,
and while Their courtesy and good
manners are said to be only SKIN deep,
they are the most charming of com
panions, the most generous of hosts,
and the most polite of gentlemen. No
laborer eve passes a lady in the street
without fitting his hat, and he always
touches that always dirty and gcner-
ally dilapidated portion of his apparel
when % gentleman passes him. If a
lady approaches q group Of men Dig
ging Il cellar, repairing the street, or
what not. even though some of them
may be half naked, they always salute
her respectfully, and in the rural ois-
tricts no one ever meets you without
saying MAY God prosper the object of
your Journey" OR MAY heaven smile
upon Your GRAND" or something in
Spanish like that. The same man will
swIndle you out of your eye teeth if he
gets a chance, and it you ask him how
far it is to the next place he will un-
donbtedly tell you a falSehood. He
doesn't care a copper whether you ever
reach the end OF your journey. and has
no more regard for your welfare than
the flea in the grass. but he recognizes
a beautiful custom and says. God be
good to you," as if he meant
it for a blessing. And this
~politeness permeates all classes
and castles. If you enter a store with a
lady every man there will salute O
and remove his hat out of respect to
her. On the streets the people will
stand aside to let O pass. and it is
necessary to do SO, for the sidewalks are
often less than two feet wide. If YOU

With regard to the feeding value Of
dry sweet corn, as compared with COM
mon corn, the american Culavator
says we need not expect that it will
prove more valuable than ordinary
corn. The two, as feed, are much
more nearly alike than would be
thought, the sugar in one being chcmi-
cally identical with the starch in the
other. Both are %fattening. rather than
tlesh-forming foods. and. as sweet corn
weighs less than the other, it is proba-
bly, less valuable per bushel as feed.
The starch in field corn is converted in
to sugar in the stomach as a part of the
process of digestion. Most kinds Of
stock soon learn to like sweet things.

RHUBARB.
How 1t Is Cultivated and Propagatcd
Some Valuable Hints.

How 1t Is Cultivated and P~ropagatcd-
Some Valuable Hints.
Rhubarb is the first s'fruit'' of the
season. Its pleasant and healthful acid
makes it very desirable in the early
spring, and the long abstinence from
fresh fruit and vegetables during the
winter adds greatly to the value Of this
easily grown plant. The farm garden
which is without a bed of rhubarb
misses one of it's chief attractions. 1t
is easily grown, and when ones planted
will last Il life time without any further
care than an annual dressing of ma
nure AS the cost of a few roots
dozen will be ample for a large family
is but a tritle. the farmer who ne
elects to provide the family with q sup
ply of this vegetable makes an un-
pardonable mistake. While there are
several varieties of this plant, there is
really but n kind, the difference be-
tween the varieties being very slight
and hardly noticeable. The seeds
men offer three named varieties-Vic-
toria, Linn;eus. and Myers Colossal;
but with good culture these are all
colossal and equally s%ucculent and
well favored. The roots may be
planted in the spring or the fall, and
a small piece of the root will soon
make a large plant.
Rhubarb will grow in any soil; a
light loan is perhaps the best soil, but
when well MANFRED the lightest SOL
will produce as good stalks as any
other. 1t requires abundant manur-
ing, and can be forced to a very early
growth with the greatest ease. !he
roots should be planted four feeS
apart each way. The ground is pre-
pared by deep spading and digging IN
q liberal quantity of good COW manVre'
The roots are covered about two IN,
ches with soil, and the removal o.
weeds is all the cultivation or atten,
ton that is required a%fterwaM
for several years. After the roofs
have grown a few years they may
be divided by pushing a sharp spaas
down through them and transplant

beds. In the fall the plants should ~
