A DIsGUsTED TAR.

A clergyman was supplying a pulpit
by the seaside. Thinking to impress the
truth more distinctly upon the congre-
cation, many Of whom we're seamen, he
drew the figure Of ship trying to enter
barbor against head wind.
Unfortunately for the success of his
metaphor, he knew little of seamanship.
After putting the ship In several singular
positions, he cried out in voice intended
TO be emphatic:
"What shall we dc next?"
"The Lord only knows" exclaimed
. Disguised old tar, sunless you let her

GRAFTON CO LIFE AFTER FREEZE
lLu.

A pRIRND residing in Baltimore had IN
Aix possession q small alig tor, which had
ben sent MIN from Florida Its habita.
zion was tub partially filed with water,
Kept outdoors During one of the cold
snaps OF the past winter, in the night, the
water became completely frozen, imprison-
lng the reptile in the ice, with but small
portion Of his body protrudins therefrom.
10 al appearance the animal was as dead
- one of tho stuffed specimens seen in .
museum collection. The want of time pre-
eluding its extxioation in the morning, IL
vas allowed to remain frozen, and was soon
eorgott.n IN the maze Of the cares Of the
GAY.
For forty eight hours the reptile thus 70
nsined frozen and lifsless, at the end OF
which time, being thawed out, vitality be-
came yisble, and in short time it was a.
animated as ever, with no evidence of hav.
tn9 in the least suffered by the prolonged
frieorific confinement. Here is an instance
IN which che vital spark seems not to have
been q einguished by the freezing, nor the
animals organism to have been mutilated,
but that vitality merely remained torpid OF
dormant during the freezing, and ready to
respond to its functions whenever the ami.
nal's organism returned to its normal con-
aition. --------.

Leather Scraps as Manure.

The unreliability of chemical tests
alone to determine the value of ma
nure is strikingly Illustrated by leather
scraps, which by chemical analysis
show large percentage of ammonia,
but in soil tests are found practically
worthless. The ammonia which exists
in the skin of the animal from which
leather is made is not destroyed by
tanning, but is offset by the astripgent
substances used with it. Probably
experiment would show that oak or
hemlock bark is deleterious to vegeta-
ton. Oak land is commonly sterile
when first cleared, but grows better as
the country becomes older. Oak
leaves have some astringent properties
and may ininre vegetation by being
blown on cultivated lands far beyond
the reach of the roots OF the trees on
which they grew.

and soon breaks it down. With til
ends OF each alternate rail on OPP
poslte sides of the post and held in
place by fence wire, the weight of fine
rails helps to keep the post down.
Unless pigs are to be excluded, q fence
three rails high surmounted bv a
barbed wire, will prove an efficient
protection against stock, especially if
couple of burrows have been thrown
up against the fence so that animals
are obliged to stand with their hind
feet down hill when trying to inmp.
The advantages Of having low, firm
fence are many. It is not wrecked by
winds, does not have q bad snow
bank in the field to smother winter
grain, and by the roadside does not
pile snowdrifts in the highway to OBJ
struct travel.
A straight fence of this description
saves several feet in width that the
crooked rail fence would cucumber,
and 1T has no corners to be filled with
stones, stumps and noxious weeds.
The only attention it will need will be
an occasional resetting of the wires
when broken or thrown out of place
by frost. With twelve-foot rails the
posts may be set eleven feet apart,
and three lengths will make fence
two rods, using less rails than a.
crooked rail fence half the length, and
making much better fence.

The Corn Root Worm.

This plague to the great staple corn
crop is still g. menace to unskillful and
careless farmers. 1t says to them
palmer than any agricultural writer
ever has, that there must be rotation
of crops. Mr.. Clapp, careful farmer
Of Illinois, says that this beetle not
only works on the roots, but that they
go up on the stalks later in the sea-
son, and feed on the leaves, husks and
silk at the end of the ears. In some
sections of Illinois and Iowa, for the
past seasons, they have been numer-
GUS and have done so much damage
where corn has been raised three or
four times on the same ground, that
the crop was nearly a failure. But no
case is known where they did any con-
siderable damage where it was the first
crop for two or three years, except
where the year previous they became
so numerous that they spread out on
adjoining fields of grass or other
crops. But the corn field Is their
natural home, and corn roots and
blades their natural food. And their
presence is an admonition to farmers
in the right direction-that of the
rotation OF crops. There has been no
other way devised to destroy this
pest, except to starve them out by
removing the corn to another field.
The worm is not a great traveller, and
yet by some process it has managed
to spread over considerable territory
In q few years. Or it has been spon-
taneously produced to teach farmers
their duty.-Iowa State Register.

New Process for Making Wire.

The interesting process by which
wires and bars are now produced di-
rect from fluid steel, viz, by pressing
it out through dies, in q manner SINH
lar to lead pipes from lead, is charac-
terized by great simplicity. AS de-
scribed, an iron vessel, lined with re-
fractory material, is provided with a
manhole and cover at the top, and
securely closed, and at the bottom,
opposite the manhole, there is a cast
iron outlet pipe, through which passes
q steel tube with water circulating
around it, exactly like 81 tuyere, by
which the steel pipe or die can be
cooled; the inner end of the steel tube
is lined with fire clay where the very
hot fluid steel meets it; the tube is
plugged up by a steel stopper, and the
LIQUID steel is filled into the vessel with
LIQUID carbon dioxide above it; the
stopper being withdrawn, the liquid
steel is forced out by pressure of the
carbon dioxide into red-hot rod or
wire, which goes from the vessel into
the rolling mill while still hot, and is
there finished off.

If there was any reply. Mr.. Molyneux
opened the envelope half-absently,

THE LIGHTHOUSE ROCK.
BY WILL WALLACE HARVEY.

Over the shing'e and down in the lane
The wave breaks over the light house rock,
Lived a lady they called the beauty of Spain;
For the south brings sorrow, the west brings
rain
But the dead can never come back again,
When the wild sea chickens begin to flock
Over the shinge in sixty mine,
The wave breaks over the lighthouse rock,
The sun came up in a bath of wine,
And the reef was ragged and Jagged and bare,
With scrOwl on the sea and q MT IN tne air,
And the wild sea chickens began tC flock.
The wind blew west and the rain was black,
The wave breaks over the lighthouse rock,
And ship came in on the starboard tack
But the wind turned south and the rain was
whites
And the ship was a splinter of chips by night,
When the wild sea chickens began to tock.
over the shingle and over tie sand,
The wave breaks over the light house rock,
A corpse took hold of my ladys hand.
It said, "You have come for your salvage
a'am,
The south brings sorrow and here am,
Where the wild sea chickens began to flock"
She made him a shroud of her satin gown,
The wave breaks over the lighthouse rock,
She brought him in state into lighthouse town;
This was my husband cruel and cross,
But the south brings sorrow, and life is loss,
When the wild sea chickens begin to hock
over the dead mans ship they passed,
The wave breaks over the lighth house rock;
They kinded the corpse candlest on the mast,
But the Magdalene sea in its christen trough
Hath secured my sin d his sorrow OFF,
When the wild sea chickens beg in to flock
And he lies like a nobeman in his shroud,
The wave breaks over the lighthouse rock,
And the heart within me was glad and proud,
FOR this as the salvage owe to him,
OF the keeper who let's his lamps burn dim,
When the wild sea chickens begin to flock.
For death brought the dead love back to life,
AS the waves broke over the lighthouse rock,
And am dead mans own true wife,
For the mad sea, stricken with passion ana
pain,
Has brought me my true love back again.,
When the wild sea chickens begin to hock.
When the winds blow into the harbor mouth,
The waves break over the lighthouse rock,
And the rain turns white in the windy koutn,
Like ghost on earth or wrath in air,
Is the song of the lady with snow white hair,
'The wild sea chickens begin to flock"
*The storm rains of the tropics come in a thick
white mist.

WIZ Gs
Slowly; slowly falls nights curtain,
over all the wide, spread land
AND the angels of the twilight
AT the gates of heaven stand.
Lo, they come band of angels,
CAD In robes of tender gray;
And before their gracious presence
Fades the suns last lingering ray.
IN the west. blaze of glory
Turns the sky molten gold:
In the east, the faint gray shadows
OF the coming night unfold
Twilight brings us loving, tender
THOUGHTS of dear ones passed away,
Who have gone from out earth's twilight
Into everlasting day.
Twilight memories are saddest,
Twilight hopes are grand and strong,
And the ships we long have waited
Come to shore at even song.
In the quiet hush of twilight
We may rest both heart and hand;
We may dream of gorgeous castles,
Raised in Spains far distant land.
Life has much of sunlight glory,
Days whose splendor blinds our sight
Tt has much of sorrows darkness,
When all seems the blacklist night.
SO, with loving hearts and trusting,
Should we prize the twilight time;
When the stars in siivery beauty
Up the heights of heaven climb.
