The Blue Grass oountry Not Rlue.

The term blue grass region of Ken
lucky is quite extensive in its applica-
ton, but in its popular sense it applies
only to the remarkable body of land in
the center of the State, which compris-
es six or eight counties surrounding
Lexington. This favored district,
which scientific authority has styled
''the very heart of the United States, !"
is underlaid by q decomposahle lime
stone, which imparts to the soil an unsur-
passed fertility, and gives to our grass,
known to botanists as Poe Ps'etenSiS, q
rich and permanent luxuriance which
it attains nowhere else. Hence the
term t'the blue grass region" q SYM
onym for the acme of fertility of a
district which also bears the proud dis
tinetion of ''the garden spot of the
world But why our grass is called
'.blue, when it never is blue, is one
of the unsolved problems! 1t is always
green except when in bloom, when the
heads have a brownish purple tint. If,
however, the term ''blue grass" is
meant for an abbreviation of blue lime
stone grass. then it will do, for certain
u it only reaches its highest perfection
on our wonderful blue limestone soil.

Once in a while some writer for the
agricultural papers arouses to the
greatness and multiplicity of the Vir-
tues of the mule and writes a para
graph on the subject. Then the mat
ter drops and the excellenees of the
long-eared musician are forgotten or
are remembered family by those who
believe that the great worth of the hy-
brid is tempered by yet greater cuss-
cdness pure and undefiled. Perhaps
this is the reason that so few farmers
in the north have seen their profit in
raising these long-eared embodiments
of energy and melody. The popular
notion seems to be that mules are OF
all created beings Except, perhaps, the
mules father) the most contrary, and
have the nimblest and most untrust-
worthy of heels. But there are those
who, knowing the mule well from long
acquaintance, declare that no better
beast of burden lives; that if properly
treated and well trained in the earlier
decades of their existence they are
good-tempered, quiet, and reasonably
obedient; that TO raise mule requires
less outlay of care and cash than viii
be required in raising colt of like
age; that when raised the mule viii
bring a better price than can be got
for the average colt of the same size
and age; and that the mule is tougher,
will live far longer, do more work, and
some time or other viii die harder
than will the best horse ever known

Uncle Peter Falls on a Dudeling.

A very high-toned looking young
man, in exquisite mustache. loud plaid
clothes. red necktie, low-crowned hat,
crushed strawberry kids, and knitting
needle cane, walked into Uncle Peter

days since, and, throwing a half dollar
with hole in it) down on the counter,
said: s'Well, this is the worst town I

"What kind?"

"Why, look at me. sir, moment,
and see for yourself what kind of
cigar would suit me; and ne drew him
self up gradually and gazed down ON
poor Uncle Peter.
Uncle Peter thought moment and
sized the lad up for all he was worth.
Then he took the half do1ar from the
counter and handed his 6;ghness a
cigar and forty-nine cents ID change,
and said: Il owe you halt cent, sin,

Well-CuItivatcd Land.

We once experimented by hauling
twenty-four large loads of the best ma
nure upon two acres OF clay-loam land,
had it we'll cultivated into the soil,
which had been well worked in the or
dinary way but was somewhat lumpy.
This and the adjoining two acres was
to be sown to corn for fodder Upon
the other two acres no manure was put
but it was plowed and cultivated until
the soil, four inches deep, was as fine
as a garden bed. One and a half BUSH
els of corn was drilled per acre on each
piece, drills IS inches apart When
this corn was in blossom and ready to
cut it stood Is inches higher than the
manured piece. On selecting two SAM
Piles in different places upon each piece,
cutting the green corn and carefully
weighing it, the manured piece gave
275 lbs. per rod, and the unmanured,
but finely pulyerized, gave $50 lbs. per
rod-the manured giving % tons per
acre, and the other % tons per acre.
The cost of extra working was 1926
per acre. Could there be any doubt
that the extra labor was well paid for9
It must be evident to every thought

A L,evel-Eeaded Crazy Man.

A rich old man named Dickinson,
down in Massachusetts, recently died,
willing his property to establish hos
pital for the poor. Having many
nephews and nieces who got nothing,
he was, of course, insane to think of
such thing 1t appears that he used
to say sharp, sometimes profane, things
about women; strip himself and take
sun baths in the middle of the day;
wash his body and scrape it with q
razor; was puzzled about putting out a
kerosene lamp-but at least never blew
out the gas; lost the key of his room af-
ter he locked il; washed his head in the
ice-water of the drinking fountain; sat
on the kitchen table and amused the
servants by singing songs; wore old
clothes and plush hat; distorted Bible
verses; and was evidently one of the
eccentric, whimsical, Independent old
''chaps" of which nearly every old set
tied community has one or more speci-
mems.
The usual expert was present, who
testified that man acting in this fash
ion must be insane, and unable to dis
pose of his property properly, especial
ly if he had numerous nephews and
nieces who thought he should have left
it to them.
Many business friends and lifelong
acquaintances declared either that they
had never seen any of these perform
ances, or if they had, they never knew
them to interfere with his shrewdness,
observation-disclosures, and good judgment
in business affairs Many of them de-
clared also that they had not noticed
any loss OF Intelligence as he grew
older. He was always calm and CO.
herent; frueal in his habits, simple In
his manner of living, close in money
matters, but willing to help any man
who was disposed to help himself. The
nephews and nieces might make
point, just here, for they are trying to
help themselyes-to the old mans
property.
He seems to have been aware that
his eccentricities attracted attention,
for he once referred to peoples talking
about his strange hats, and said that
as long as he bought and paid for his
hats he didn't see why he hadn't
right to wear what he liked. He found
his plush hat convenient and warm
and so he wore it.
He knew, too. that his relatives
would not be pleased with his will.
They viii be awfully disappointed, "
he said. s'But have so many heirs
that if I give them ali slice it will
cut up my property so fine that it will
be scattered to the four winds; and
want to see if it won't be of some use
in the world.
But as only one expert has yet been
examined. and ten or twenty are
coming, it is quite impossible to say
a leyei-headed man like this is
really crazy or not

He Knew Her Husband.

There are individuals who possess
the happy faculty of forgetting nobody,
but they are far less common than is
generally supposed. The value of a
hotel clerk depends very largely upon
his ability to salute travellers by name,
and promptly have the hotel beat fired
into the street by the porter. Some de-
tectives, by cultiVating this faculty long
and assiduously, have acquired it to q
remarkable degree, but the general run
of them would forget Ben Butler in a
month, and wouldn't know their own
mother if she should disguise herself
with their fathers coat and hat.
John i. Martin, the Superintendent
of the Poor, has, from his long service
in that Office, nearly fifteen years, be-
come so familiar with the features of the
poor and unfortunate that he is rarely
obliged to ask name, or refer to his
books. Besides the destitute, howev.

A Tree With Hands.

Lieut.. Houghton, who has recently
visited New Guinea and several other
groups of islands in the Pacific, re-
ports the existence of prehensile tree.
Il appears to be a species of ficus,
allied to the well-known banyan tree,
which throws out from its branches air
roots, that eventually reach the ground
and take root there, and in their turn
become new stems which perform the
same function; so that single tree
will eventually extend SO far as to
form a complete forest, in which the
stems are united by the branches to
each other. The prehensile tree in
question, similarly throws out from its
branches long, flexible tendrils, which,
touching the ground, do not take root
there, but twine around any article
that may lie within their reach. After
a time these quasi branches contract,
so that they fail to reach the ground;
but the finger-like processes continue
to closely grip the article round which
they have twined themselves, and
which are consequently suspended in
mid-air. In this way articles of con-
siderable weight may be picked up
from the ground and held in suspen-
aion

The Burial of a Giant.

At Shiffnal in the west of England,
there was buried recently a man of
grand stature named j. L. Stubbs.
His coffin measured thirty-seven inches
across the shoulders, seven feet in
length, and two feet in depth. 1t re-
quired the united strength of ten men
TO lift it when the corpse was placed in
it. Planks were placed against the
bedroom window, and the coffin lower
ed down to a truck, was thus wheeled
toI the church-yard. The ground was
cut away at the head of the grave TO
form an incline. permitting the coffin
to slice into its resting place Tie
weight of Mr.. Stubbs was about 375
pounds.
