Farmers, in preparing their land for
wheat, should remember that mistakes in
this preparation cannot be corrected by
after cultivation, as in corn and other
crops. Put the ground in good condi-
ton and use only good seed. Never sow
wheat when the ground is too wet.

Take the MisaultO Treatment.

An Elwood, n. j., correspondent in
letter to The Boston ITaCeIer says:
We have case which goes to the
credit of the prescribed misquito,
which at times is incomfortably abun-
liant in this region. A young lady
rom Pennsylvania was sent here in a
7ery feeble condition as last resort
oy her physician. The result was not
particularly encouraging till, by an
unusual visitation of the musical in
ect, she was so bitten on all parts of
Ter body accessible as to cause a pain
'ul illness. When this disappeared
she rapidly recovered from the former
disease to the enjoyment of perfect
health. The doctors declared that
he misquito treatment saved her.

Men Who own Horses.

Men Who Own Horses.
There is no mistaking the owner Of
a fast horse, or a road horse of any
kind no matter whero you may meet
him in New York." said the proprietor
of a big livery stable up town. sin
the country nearly every man OF rea-
sonable means can afford to keep ut
least one horse, but in New York it is
rather an expensive luxury. To be
the owner of Il roadster argues that
you're n man of means, and, rs every
one wants to appear wealthy, / sup
pose that is the reason one hears SO
much horse talk. They talk about
yachtsmen being unable to talk of any
thing but their own particular form of
sport, but that's nonsense compared
to the enthusiasm of u horseman.
Yachts are out of commission six
months in year, but horse is always
ready.
THE horse fever usually affects
men about as it has affected a friend
of mine who started in year ago.
He has charge of a department in a
big commission house down town, and
his salary was increased from SO, SOC
to 50, 600 year. Then he decided to
keep a horse. He bought light
wagon, looked about, took the advice
of half dozen friends who didn't
know anything about it, and finally
secured horse that was worth about
$500 to $500 cash. His expenses for
keeping the whole outfit here amount
to about $50 month, but that's the
lghtest part of the entertainment.
hoc.i,,C ahAun ri 'n,,, - q
dam bridge. For the first two months
the young commission merchant was
up here every day about 5 o'clock,
wearing frock coat, a high hat, and
driving gloves, and regularly took
some young lady out to drive. The
young ladies worked pretty lap robes
for him, and he was quite n go with
them for time.
Then one day he went up the road
alone, and after that he never took a
lady with him. Now he has the regu-
lar horseman manner. He wears a
big linen duster, a low hat, goggles,
aud rides with bent shoulders, and his
head pushed forward. One would
think, to look at him when he stalks
out, that he is driving Maud ). He
sits with round shoulders and an in
tent look, and nothing new comes up
in the way of fixings for horses that
he does not adopt. His slang is as
steep as Jockeys and his knowledge
so profound that the oldest horse
doctor in New York seems like q
novice when compared with him.
You can't learn all about horses in 9
year, nor be good Judge of horsehesh
without immense experience and
study; still, every New Yorker that
owns Il horse apparently knows it all,
and to sit on Gabe Cases or Judge
Smiths porches and hear the one
year-olds talk about trotting stoch
makes us veterans feel SO ashamed
hat we all 90 of in corner and talk
20 ourselves. "-NeW York. San.

The Aristocracy OF Worth.

The young man who knows how to
ny off com and cotton rows, and to
'egulate the distance of the same so
rs to get the largest crops, is worth a
,ow-pen full of nice, kid-gloved,
iancy coated fellows, who may
know how to lead the german or caper
around at n fashionable waltz. Siding
cotton, setting plow just right, and
adjusting gears SO that shoulders and
Dacks of horses will never hurt, are
worth thousand-fold more to the
country than knowing how to pose in
parlor or how to adjust the shade of

Parson Downs Up Again.

Boston, December 22.-To-day the suit
brought 10y the Rev. ". W. Downs, of the
Bowdoin Street Baptist church, TO recover
81, 900 Of back salary, was begun before
Judge Aldrich. Mr. Downs was arrested
some eighteen months ago on charge of
criminal intimacy with one OF his female
converts, and since then he has been arrest
Cd on at least half dozen other charges,
none of which has ever been brought Ia
trial, and last Saturday all the charges
against him were dismissed. Now he turns
the tables by bringing the suit as above
stated. He has for counsel, besides Law
yers Coffey and Hayes, Gen Benz. +. But
Ter. General Butler occupied the first
half OF to-day's session in outlining his
case and after briefly outlining the history
of the case he stated that il was not his in
tentiOn to refer TO the charges which had
been trumped up against his client but that
ifthey were brought up by the opposition
he was ready To meet them with counter
charges against some OF the church mem
bers which would, he believed, create a
sensation. The rest of the session was
taken up by discussion over the right of
the plaintiff to have the church records ad-
mitted as evidence and the court adjourned
before the discussion was concluded.

MR.. PARNELL SPEAKS.
CONDITION OF IRISH TENANTS WORSE
THAN WHEN He INTRODUCED
His Anti-Eviaion BIl-IppobaNs That the Plan
Of Campaign Has Procured AbatsnenS in
RenS-He viii Strongly Oppose the
GOvernment-GsnsralP Foreign News

DUBLIN, December 22.-It can be au-
thoritatively stated that Mr.. Parnell is
convinced that the position Of the Irish
tenants is worse now than when he intro.
duced his anti-eviction bill. That the
plan of campaign has, as asserted, procur.
ed abatements in rents where everything
else has failed, he regards as improbable.
He thinks it remarkable that the govern.
ment should propose a coercion bill, as the
entire absence of crime leaves no
excuse for coercion. The suppress
sion of the Irish National League
would inevitably result in the formation
of secret societies that would rival one an
other in the commission of crimes, and
necessitate the landlords asking Parliament
for further coercive powers. The present
situation, "says Mr.. Parnell points strong
ly TO the probability of the Government
being obliged to introduce bill reducing
rents to the standard fixed by the recent
decisions of the Land Commissioners, also
admitting lease holding
The Governments illegal method Of re-
ducing rents through General Buller's
action, failed except where assisted" by
mOonlighters.
Mr.. Parnell will lead strong attack
upon the whole policy of the Government
towards Ireland at the opening of the conf
ing session of Parliament.
LONDON, December 22.-Mr. Gladstone
denies that Mr.. Parnell has ever visited
him at Hawarden.

reaches total of 2,3l4. 400 cases of two
dozen tins each, or total Of 81, 5i7, GiO
cans. Great as is the quantity it Is below
the cUnsumptive requirements Of the coun-
Try. 1t gives every family offve persons
only five cans per annum. The average
price OF the year for reliable brands has
been o. cents to Sl.05 per dozen, against
- TO 76 cents in 1855. The industry was
never in healthier condition than at the
cluse OF 1886. Old stocks have been dis
tributcd and the visible supply is barely
sufficient to meet the wants OF the next
six months without a marked advance in
price.

terms to Murphy aud cast reflections upon
his family.
Murphy appealed to the chairman for
protection in the committee room, saying
he could protect himself elsewhere and
would hold Garduer responsible. As soon
as they were ont Of the door Mr.. Murphy
approached Gardner and said IN show
you whether I'll hold yOu responsible, ="
and planted his fist on Gardner's jaw
Then he rained three or four blows upon
his face in quick succession. Gardner
staggered and fell heavily. Immediately
members of the committee interfered and
stopped all further fighting. Great efforts

MANCHESTER, ENG, December 22.-
The Guardian, in its commercial article to-
day. SAYS: The tone of the market il dull.
Although a fair amount Of sales were
made, they were limited TO miscellane-
ous business for the Levant and other
smaller foreign markets. There were few
sellers at yesterdays market. An aver
age Tuesdays business was done. There
is not much inquiry for India and China
staples. The lOwness Of merchants offers
are often infeasible Probably the slack
ness Of the demand is partly owing TO the
holiday season, although there does not
appear to be any important mar
ket except the home market
the present ana early future wants
of which are not provided for. Home
houses expect a more active trade shortly.
The cold weather will encourage rapid
lessening Of the stock of wOolens, the re-
tention Of which interferes with the busl-
ness in c0ttons The sale OF export yarns
have been light and prices are unchanged
although spinners are anxious for ireh
business. Cloth is unchanged. China 5
heavy demand appears 70 have been salts
fed. There is some demand for India
shirtings, though most Of the offers are in
feasible Good printing cloths and higher
reeds Of finishing goods are steady, with 4
moderate inquiry.
