Bismarck and the Driver.

In 1862 Prince Bismarck, then ambas-
sador Of Prussia at our court, was invited
to the imperial hunt. Being an enthusi.
astic hunter, he went to the designated
place on the evening before the appointed
day, in order to have a little sport by
himself. Game was abundant, and Bis.
marck had a good time, but somehow he
lost his way. When the time for the i'm.
perial hunt approached Bismarck found
himself fourteen miles away from the
place. A peasant offered his services to
take Bismarck to the right place. He
appeared with q team of ponies and
village sleigh. Bismarck doubted that
the Russian driver could get him there
IN time to engage in the hunt.

'Nitchego!" answered the moujiK
quietly. ('Nitchego' is Russian for

"These are rather rats than horses, ("
remarked Bismarck, taking his seat in
the sleigh.
"Nitchegol" was the answer.
The peasant whipped his horses ant
they went as swiftly as pair of falcons
Bismarck could hardly keep his seat.
"You do NOT spare your horses at all, ~
remarked the famous passenger, gasping
FOR breath.

The road was hardly distinguishable
through the forest, but the peasant con-
tinued his mad run. He brushed against
the big trees and went on and on. "You

Bismarck, scared in good earnest.
"Nitchego" answered the Russian,
with a bit Of smile on his face.
Presently there was smash. Bismarck
flew against tree and bruised his face.
He jumped up very angry, snatched an
iron rod from the sleigh, and rushed at
the peasant, swearing vengeance. The
driver coolly picked up handful Of
snow, with which he good-naturedly
wiped the blood stains from Bismarck g
face. "Nitchego" he uttered, as hp
finished the operation.

Drought and Deep PIowIng.

All observing farmers are aware of
this effect of the drought, and the guard
against it which drainage and deep, mel
low culture afford. Where the tilla5le
soil, say six or eight inches deep, is thor
oughly fined, it forms mulch in good
soil that will save the crop and afford a
profit on it in our average dry seasons.
If, further, the undersoil is pulverized it
will serve as protection against the worst
drought with most crops. Short root
ing plants are less able tn withstand
drought, such as timothy and some of
the other grasses, including buckwheat
in the start before it forms shade
Corn, although classed as shallow
roofing plant and suffering on shallow
ground, will, in dry season, on deeply
fined soil, make a good growth, and
even a profitable return in a severe
drought, if the ground is good, especially
if sod turned down, rotted and replowed
and fined. Experience of late years has
demonstrated this. Hence, as the corn
crop is such an important one, it is
equally as important that this point be
considered and practiced at least in a
small way at first, by way OF experiment.
All our spring grains, including hood
crops, require this condition of the soil.
Potatoes especially demand deep and
mellow culture, as well as deep planting
to secure them against the effect Of
drought and heat the twin enemies Of
the potato, which requires compare
lively cool, moist soil. With wheat the
case is different, and its growth is made
in the fall and spring and early sum-
mer, thus avoiding the severe drought
later on in the season. 1t needs but a
mellow surface to start it well and aid in
protecting it during the winter, and har-
rowing in spring for further melowing
TO favor its growth; this, in addition to
WITHDRAWING where required, and
avoidance of direct exposure to the win
ter winds.

How to Cure Obesity.

In the fourth congress of German ply
sicians the first subject discussed was
corpulence. Ebsten advanced the
opinion that drugs were of little service
in reducing the amount of fat, and that
an entire change of the regimen-includ-
ing both change of diet and of the man
ner of living-was necessary.
Any method which reduced the
general nutrition, and thus removed fat,
was failure; the fat alone must be re-
moved. The method must not require
the individual to give up his business
during treatment, else it would not be
generally applicable. The method must
be capable of being continued Indefinite
ly without producing unpleasant results,
for individuals predisposed to corpulence
by heredity or constitution must keep
mp the diet for long time.
One method is to cut off all fatty
goods. But as carbohydrates may be
changed into fat in the body, this is not
reasonable. The object is rather to pre-
vent the formation of fat in the body.
To secure this it is necessary to regulate
the proportion of albuminous, starchy,
and fatty foods, SO that perfect nutri-
ton shall be secured, but no excess of
fat produced. The necessary amount of
fat for healthy man is 142 grains per
diem.
If this is reduced one.h half a part of
the amount necessary for nutrition will
be taken from the body to compensate
for the reduced allowance in the food,
and thus the excess of fat may be re-
moved. Under this system the individual
does not suffer the distress which is felt
bythose who are cut off from al fatty
food, and the results are more successful
and agreeable than those of the Banting
system The amount of carbohy drates
is to be reduced so that no surplus above
bodily needs shall be taken
In the Banting system the diet is Chief
ly heterogeneous, which often causes indi-
gestion. Ebstein gives heterogeneous
food, with the reduced allowance of
starch and fat in sufficient quantity to
keep up the general nutrition and work.
ing strength, but not in such amounts as
to overload and embarrass the organs
which digest proteids. The necessity of
muscular exercise Of sufficient force to
produce free perspiration is insisted
upon. This system has met with APP
prevail in Germany on account of its
success.
Henneberg, in discussing the subject,
approached it from different side, and,
by a review of the methods adopted in
fattening cattle, sought to reduce the
rules necessary to be observed in avoid
ing the accumulation of fat in man.
The general discussion elected varying
views upon the physiology of digestion,
but all agreed that the use of medicine
for reducing corpulence was to be
avoided. Science

for the horses and chariots were dis

lengthwise down the course, so as to
form barrier by which it was divided
into distinct parts, and at each of its

chariots turned, the one nearest the
stable being called meta prima and the

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Perfect Pasture.

A perfect pasture should last forty
yews. 1t will not wear out unless it is
allowed to be cropped too close OF
trampled or cut up in wet weather.
Here is list of grasses that is said to be
the most approved formation for pasture
sod; Timothy, six pounds; medium
clover, six pounds; alsike clover, three
pounds; blue grass (poa pratensial, one
pound; orchard grass Ccoctylis CLONE
RATA, four pounds; fat stalked blue
grass poa eompressa), four pounds; red
top (agrostis vulgarisl, four pounds
perennial rye grass, five pounds; rough
stalked meadow grass, two pounds /;
sweet vernal grass, one pound. This
list ought to establish an excellent per-
manont pasture on good land. Now, to
keep the pasture good, a dressing of
wood ashes every six years is necessary,
and, if inclined to be sandy, one bushel
of plaster will greatly aid it. Pastures
should have generous treatment as we'll
as meadows.

The Mexican Financier says that one
of the greatest disappointments to the
projectors of new railways in Mexico is
that the country through which the lines
run does not attract settlers. Immi-
grants are rushing by the thousands to
the Northwest, but the fertile lands and
favorable climate of Mexico have little
attraction for them. And they will not
settle there until land may be had at low
rates. They know that the land of
Mexico is owned in huge tracts by few
people; in fact Mexican authority states
that the land of the country is in the
hands of some so, 900 out of 10, 600, 900
of people. This monopoly of the soil is
the cause of the backward state of things.
