The politicians in Massachusetts, are
thoroughly disguised with the lack Of
appreciation of practical politics by
the candidates for governor. The
Republicans nominated Lieutenant
Governor Ames and the Democrats
selected Millionaire Andrew, and thus
the politicians thought they had pro-
vided for a battle Of bar'ls, during
which the dollars would fly like hail
in a hail storm. But Millionaire
Andrew persists in basing his CAM
paign on his record as an honorable,
upright private citizen, qualified in
every respect, except experience, for
public office. His refusal to touch off
his bari leaves Millionaire Ames with
nothing to do but hold his purse
strings. Left in this condition Of
'inoccuous desuetudo," the Massachu-
sets voter is actually in danger of ex-
pressing his honest convictions at the
polls

LITIGATION over the estate of "Blind
Tom,' the musical prodigy, develops
the fact that he has been adjudged by
the courts an idiot. His general APP
pearance and every lineament of his
face indicates utter absence of brain
and nerve force, and that demented
state that produces unconcern even
about the physical man, yet his touch
of piano key is the most delicate ev-
err heard and his power of imitation
truly wonderful. Just what enables
him to magnetic piano is what has
puzzled the world.

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.


There are only few breeds of geese
raised in this country, and in fact only
two which arc of practical value to the
poultrymen-thcsc are the Toulouse and
Bremen or Embdcn geese. consider
the Toulouse tho best of the two be.
cause they are heavier and produce more
eggs when special care and attention are
given to their feeding and housing. As
to the management of geese some Of the
following hints should be observed, if
they are being raised for the market.
one gender to four or five geese is gen
orally considered the limit. 1t is advis-
able to let hen set on the eggs and
raise the goslings. The feed in general
is about the same as for chicks, except
that oatmeal, wheat and vegetables
should be fed little mora freely. There
should be regular time set for feeding,
and be careful not to give them too much;
for this is detrimental to the laying on
of fat. 1t is good plan to have the
hcn-house darkcncd for several weeks
before killing, and not give them too
much exerci,c " T. Farmer.

The Care of Farm Wagons.

During every dry season the wood
work of most of the wagons shrinks
enough to loosen the bolts, which, if
not frightened, will permit the frame of
the wagon to start in the joints, and thus
rapidly wear off the lemons and enlarge
the morticcs. Should the wagon hold
together until wet weather comes, the
open joints thus made will be filled with
water and frightened; but water having
once got into the interior of the wood,
uncovered by paint, it softcns it and
decay will begin, and when once begun,
it will be but a short time before the
frame of the wagon is beyond repair
But if a few moments had been spent in
tightening the bolts at tic right time,
this would have been prevented,
The wheels of Il wagon usually receive
more attention than the frame, but even
these are often neglected, because when
affected by dry weather they cannot be
repaired by the farmer himself, forwhen
a tire is once looscncd it required
blacksmith to tighten it. AS tins is
somewhat costly, the farmer often
neglects it, hoping each week that the
weather will change and the roads be-
come wet enough to tighten up the
wheels, and thus save the expense of
resctting the tires. We have often seen
men try to economic by wetting their
wagon wheels when used. thinking thus
to tighten them, and save the expense
Of resctting the tires, This is all wrong,
and far from economy When a tire
gets loose it should be at once frightened,
even though it should be known that it
rain the next dry. In fact, wheel
with loose tire should always be kept
from water, for the joints being opened
the water pcnctratcs where it softens the
wood, and causes 1t not only to wear
rapidly, but to decay.
To keep water out of the joints OF a
wagon, it is important that the wood
work should be kept painted. This as
long as the joints are kept tight by the
ironwork, will prevent any water from
penetrating the wood; but the moment,
for any reason, the iron work fails to
keep the joints tight, the paint cracks in
the joints, and thus lets the water in
For this reason it is important to be ever
on the watch during dry weather for
loose bots and loose tires on the wagons
that are in daily use,--.NtssachmettS

experiment was made from tug at a
distance Of half mile from the fort.
On discharging the rifle distinct echo
was heard from the fort by those on
board the tug When boat intervcncl
between the tug and the fort two echoes
were heard, one after the other. Til,
sound was reflected back from both boat
