The Commodore Ahead.

A gentleman was riding with w. H,
Vanderbilt on Harlem lane, New York,
while the old commodore was still alive.
A pair of very speedy horses whirled the
wheels of the light road wagon SO swift
iy around that they ate up the distance
between themselves and whatever wheels
were ahead of them. Atlenyth, how
ever, the sound of hoof taps approach.
ing from behind grew clearer and clearer.
"C-l.e-ck," said Vanderbilt to his
horses, and he smiled rs he made the
noise, Tor instantly they started ahead
faster than before, and left the approach
ing hoofs sinking backward. But no
thump thump, thump thump came tn:
sounds nearer. The millionaire looked
anxious Out came his whip and down
fell its lash with flick, flick on the
neck of each horse. What followed was
described as being like the sudden
lengthening of closed telescope, sc
suddenly and far did the startled team
leap ahead; but it was of no use.
Thurp ,hump thump thump came the
still approaching horses, and presently,
as Vanderbilt sat frowning and biting
his LIP, their heads were up to the tails
of his steeds and in an instant he wa.
passed. He looked out the side of his
eyes to see his rival, and suddenly heavcd
sigh of relief. "Why," it's father"
said he. 1t was the old commodore,
bumped up behind Mountain Boy and
Mountain Girl, and smiling broadly.
"Good road team you've got there,
Bill" said he; "but you need another
pair if you're going racing"

Farm and GarIen NOteS,

In laying out q garden: For vege-
tables. make it long aud narrow, plant
in drills running lengthwse, cultivate
with horse, leave no weeds and manure
high.
A very poor and aged man busted in
planting and grating and apple tree,
was asked, "Why do you plant trees
wi en- you cannot hope to eat the fruit Of
th,m?"
A. S. Dyckman, of Michigan, saved
his grapes from the rose-bug, by employ
ing boys to gather the bugs, and one
smart boy caught as many as four quarts
in day.
To cultivate among trees, use Whit
fetree as short as the horse can walk
with, or about sixteen inches long;
round the wood at the end and turn the
hooks in.
For tree labels, use strips of sheet
zinc, rust them with water or acid, write
on them with common lead pencil
when moist, and they will last and be
1egible half century.
After trying many different ways,
vineyardists now find baskets with
covers, and holding ten or twelve pounds
each, the best packages for sending
grapes by rail or steamer to market.
Many seeds don't come up because
they are buried too deep. AS general
rule, no seeds should be painted deeper
than five times their diameter; less is
lbetter il the soil is mellow and moist.

A Practical Joke On Mark Twain.

Robert Fulford, an ex-printer, tells
this story of Mark Twain's early life as a
reporter in Virginia City, New: "There
was little town or camp just outside of
Virginia City, aud the two places were
separated by deep gulch, and the road
that crossed this was the scene of many
a midnight murder and robbery. Some
of the boys laid plot to give Sam
Clemens good scare before he left for
San Francisco. The plan was to way
lay him some night as he passed along
this lonely road and take his watch,
pistol and money away from him and re-
turn them day or two later. The night
came. He was coming home pretty late
from the other side. The boys knew he
had pistol. and that it was a danger ous
joke; but that was the sort of practical
jokes we all INDUCED in at that time. 1t
would, of course, be necessary to get t he
drop on him, otherwise somebody would
get hurt. The plan worked all right.
They rushed out from behind rock.
with pistols cooked and lcveled, and
commanded him to throw up his hands,
which he did very promptly.
There was nothing. else to
do. Of course the boys were
masked. They took everything be had,
including a very common old silver
watch, and he seemed to be right glad
to get away with his life. The next day
he wrote thrilling article for the Enter
prise, giving a detailed account of the
affair, abusing the supposed robbers with
terrific vengeance. The secret was kept
dark till he was going to leave on the
stage for San Francisco. Just as Clemens
was about to get onthe stage, a commit
tee of the boys with very solemn coun'
tenances walked up to him and with q
very formal speech presented him with
neat looking case, which he supposed
contained some pleasing memcnto by
which his Virginia City friends wished
to be remembered. You can imagine h!s
surprise and the yell that went up from
the crowd when he opened the case and
found inside the watch, pistol and small
amount OF money of which he lad beer
robbed few nights before. The driver
