Played the Fiddle.

One of the Justices of the Maine Su- preme Court occasionally amuses him self, when he is alone, by taking down an old fiddle and playing on it. The Judge used to be an expert performer of jigs on the fiddle, but since his boyhood has not devoted much time to the violin He was born and raised in poverty, and the story of his life is almost romance. His father was the fiddler of the village, a nomadic and iovial soul. Said an old neighbor, the other day, "When went to muster, sixty years ago, used to see the Judge and his father playing the fiddle for dances at siSpence per tune. That was the regular price in those days. None of the dancers ever supposed that their little fiddler would become q Judge of the Supreme Court, ,"-Le,oistoR (He. ) Journal. .-.. . .... .......

Judgment on Feeding Hay.

We remember once weighing some hay that had been passed through 8 cutting machine, and that great big pile of it uncut measured only few bushel basketfuls after the machine had done with it, weighing seven pounds and a half to the basket, or just half the weight of coarse heat bran, weighed at the same time. It is possible in the practical operations of the farm to be strictly accurate in such matters, but whatever departure there may be should be so far as pos- sible controlled by calculation and not left altogether to accident. The farm CT cannot have a chemical analysis made of his hay to ascertain its exact nutritive value, and he cannot weigh out to each bullock so many pounds and ounces, but he can, considering the quantity of grain he is feeding and the average quantity of hay, make up his mind about how many pounds he should feed If he does this and finds a part of it wasted he can decrease the quantity, and if the quantity should be insufficient. his own practical ob- servation will soon disclose that fact to him. Having made up his mind about how many pounds to feed, he will have to guess and weigh a few times until he can approximate the de- sired quantity, and will have basis for starting point from which to in- crease or decrease his ration.-Cinci7e-

Acres of SunnOwers.

Very many of the spring chickens sold in New York city are raised on sum flower seed. At many points in New Jersey there are chicken farms where chickens are raised by the thousand. Many receive their first start in life from the incubator, and when large enough are put on a diet of sunfower seeds. The chickens are very fond of the seeds, which are full of oil, and very fattening. The sunflower gives little trouble to the farmer, as it is a hardy plant and grows without cultivation. Some farmers plant three and four acres of sunflowers, and such fields have surprisingly gaudy ap- pearance. The perfume is sickening, but when turned into spring chicken the sunfower becomes pleasing table orna- ment. .....' --a.

NIaryland Democratic State Convention.
 In the Maryland Democratic State Conven- tion J. Frank Turner, of Talbot, had no oppo- sition for the nomination for Comptroller, nor did Spencer Jones, of Montgomery, for Clerk of the Court of Appeals. Resolutions were adopted endorsing the Administration of President Cleveland and reafirming the plat form of the National Convention of 1884. They oppose the working of the present civil service system, and demand reform so that the subordinate positions shall not be filled by per- sons opposed to the appointing power. For the laboring men the right to combine peace atly for their own protection Is reafirmed.

Bone Meal.

A correspondent of The Journal of Horticulture gives his experience with bone meal, having tried 1t in compari- son with two artificial manures on a lawn. All of the manures were ap- piled at the same time in March, on separate parts of the lawn, and he re- marks "The two artificial manures had decidedly the best of it for the first season. The bone meal did not im- prove the appearance of the grass in the least, while that treated with arti- ficial manures displayed marked im- provement The bone meal produced more effect the second season than the artificial manures had the first, but the latter were evidently exhausted the first season. The third season, again, told in favor of the bone meal, and what will be the case this year remains to be seen. Similar expert ments were tried with peas, onions, lettuce and caulifiower, and other veg etables, which resulted in favor of the two artificial manures, the bones evi- dently making no difference. These observations and experiments prove that bones. however fine they may be ground, do not act in any marked de- gree during the first season, but prove an invaluable lasting manure" The conclusion was also reached, very properly, that for pot-plants, when an immediate effect is desired, bone meal is without value, and artificial manures that will act quickly should be employed In such cases.

THE GENEsTA WINS A CUP.
She Leads the Fleet in the Outside Tri-
 angular Race.

Once more the British cutter Genesta hoisted her sails, and this time she was a victor. Six times she had taken her place beside the starting point before the long looked-for success crowned her efforts. It was the race for the cups offered by the Com modore and Vice. Commodore of the New York Club, valued at $1, 900 each, one for schooners, offered by Mir. James Gordon Bennett, and one for sloops, offered by Mir Douglass.
 There was 8 moderate sailing breeze and tolerabie smooth water. The weather was ex- tremely favorable to the sloops and the result shows how easily the Americas Cup could have been taken by the British challenger had the Puritan not been built. The Grayling won the schooner cup, and her victory over inc Fortuna, much larger boat, was an ex- tremely credit4ble performance and makes the dfaytng the fastest schooner in this country. At ll:l0 the starting whistle was given. The Ulara, Genesta, and iIleen dashed over close together, followed by the Fortuna and Gray ling and the others . trihs later.

The Victim of Richardson.

A western friend of mine now in the
city, told me singular thing few days
ago. Said he:
''You know Daniel Mcfarland, the
hero of the sad Richardson tragedy? i
met him at Leadville some three years
ago, a poor waif and rapidly drifting to
the condition Of a physical wreck. He
was SO poor that I have known him to
be forced to sleep on the floor of one of
the lowest class of Leadville lodging
houses. talked with him q number
of times. He had wandered ali over
the Western states restless and aimless.
He was given to frequent spells of
drinking. On one occasion while in
Kansas City think he told me he had
occupied seat in one of the public
halls while his own wife, Abby Sage
was delivering lecture Of course,
she saw him; but no sign of recognition
passed between the two"
"Where is McF arland now"? asked.
In the cemetery at Leadville," he
replied, sadly. "Remorse, disease and
utter WEAKNESS of life wore him out.
He gave up the fight after while, and
he is now at rest. !" --'. r..
"'Tis sad conclusion to brilliant
life," said I. mcfarland was once one
of the brightest lawyers at the New
York bar. But such is life" > &.

Fertilizer for Cabbage.

II find,' says a writer in the New
England Homestead, "that cabbage
needs more hooing and stirring of the
soil than almost any other crop. Neither
do Iapprove Of too much stable manure,
except for an early crop, for it has a
tendency to dry the soil and does not
furnish potash enough, I had much
rather have tobacco stems or stalks,
cut up fine and plowel under broad
clst, with some chemicals in the drill,
for a medium or lite crop. As to
chemicals. whether to he used alone or
in combination with other manures. I
recommend this formula as being best
and cheapest, which every farmer must
make for himself: Two hundred pounds
of dry ground fish, 200 pounds
Of bone meal dissolved in sulphuric
acid, 200 pounds Of castor pomace and
100 pounds OF murlatic potash, or more
if the potash salts (kainit) arc used.
The fish and castor pomace furnish am
monia in quick an'? slow forms; the
bone, phosphoric acid; while the potash
is very necessary to a cabbage crop. A
ton OF this mixture costs about $40, and
is sufficient for all acre with light
manuring, or half the quantity if
manure is used literally. This is the
best cabbage grower I have found
With 1t and tobacco stalks, as described,
I raised cabbages that weiged over
twenty pounds. One dozen, as they
were taken to market, weighed over
200 pounds"

Case Of Inflammation.

A very peculiar case of infatuation
came to light recently says a Newport,
R. l., dispatch to The Boston Herald.
A few years ago lad came to Newport
and fell in love with young lady, whom
he married. The young wife died soon
aiterward, and the husband, who is now
scarcely out Of his teens, is engaged to
an estlmahle young lady. Since the
death of his wife, his wife's aunt has
been desperately in love with him, and
has logged a1m everywhere, in fact
making life burden to him. This af-
ternoon he called upon the sister OF his
tiancee, and as he was leaving. he was
accosted by the aunt, who had been
watching him. She upraided him, and
finally threw brick which she had
concealed under her shawl, at him.
Fortunately the brick went wide of the
mark. A policeman saw the incident.
and induced the furiated woman to cease
her annoyances. She went home, and
did not seem to mind the commotion
she had occasioned upon apublic street.
The woman belongs to q good family.

whaa to Cut Wheat,

Bad straw, must and mildew and the
loss Of much grain by Smelling out.
some or all Of these will be the penalty
for allowing the grain to stand until
it is dead ripe. AS to the quality OF the
kernel, the Germantown Telegraph re-
marks: 1T should be remembered that
wheat is composed Of gluten, starch and
bran. Gluten is the nourishing quality
Of the grain, which makes the -four
stick together in the hands of the baker,
and gives weight to the grain; and there
is the greatest quantity of gluten in the
grain when the straw is yellow two or
three joints from the ground, the head
turns downward, and: when you can
mash the grain between the thumb and
finger without producing any milk. It
NAV, therefore, be set down as an indis-
putahle truth that every day the wheat
stands after this stage Of ripeness The
gluten decreases i'll quantity and the
bran increases in thickness, and thus
uilninishes in value, in addition to the
danger from must and other risks"
