The Professor and the Snakes.

Prof. Yerkes, once of Waterbury,
Conn, is one of the ab!est tellers OF
snake stories in the South. One after
noon he was crossing u branch of the St.
Johns on fallen log. Right ahead of
him he saw the biggest moccasin he had
ever seen. He went back and cut thick
pole, and with it he dealt the snake a
trcn endous whack. He noticed before
hitting him that the snake made no at
tempt to strike, and he thought it queer.
He dragged the moccasin home, knotted
a cord around his tail, hooked the steel
yards into the loap, mounted barrel.
and no sted the snake up till lis head
cleared the ground. While trying to find
the right notch on the steelyards he was
astounded to see moccasin slip tail fore
most out of the original snakes mouth.
He got down from the barrel and reached
for the stick. 1Ioccasin No. 2 made no
attempt to twist and strike, and he was
despatched with one whack. The Pro-
fcssor thought lie would weigh the snakes
separately. 20 he knotted a cord to No.
2's tail, mounted the barrel, hooked on
the stcclyards. and lifted him up. If he
was surprised when he undertook to
weigh No. ], he wa> more than surprised
now, for third moccasin's tail appeared
from the suspended snakes mouth. AND
in n jiffy this snake, which had been
doubly swallowed, lay wriggling on the
sand. This one was lath. r feeble. and
the Professor despatched him with h I'd
ly an effort. Then the Professor laid the
three snakes in string. heads to tails
and mca "urcd them, and afterward he
weighed them. Tho only thing remem-
Der about the figures is that the second
snake was I:ust five inches shorter than
the first, and the third snake just three.
I have given only bare outline of the
story. You ought to hear the Professor
rut in the details. Yo1'G Sun.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Long or Short Stubble.


Whether the stubble should be left
short or long must depend upon circum-
stances. Hay, especially clover, should
be cut as close as possible to the ground.
1t sprouts from the root, and long stub
BILE is only dctrimeut to after growth:
Where grain stubble is to be plowed and
followed by wheat it should be cut short.
The dry stubblc is worth nothing as 4
manure, and when buried under the fur
row rots slowly, and keeps the soil too
light for wheat to do we'll in the Winter.
Unless cut very short the next best way
is to leave stubblc very long and then
burn it. This is an excellent plan when
wheat follows wheat, as Burning the stub
be destroys many injurious insects. But
wherever grass or clover seed has been
sown, burning stubble or plowing it un-
der is out of the question. In such cases
it is best to leave rather long stubble as
protection to the young plants from the
heat of Summer and the cold of Winter.
A stout stubble zen inches high will hold
the Stow to that depth, and be worth
much more in the field for that purpose
than it can be in the barnyard. We
have seen the difference of few inches
in height of stubble make all the differ
encc between success or failure in the
clover crop on the land the subsequent
season.-Cultira or.

The Origin of Cyclones.

In a recent paper on the "Conservation
of Energy in the Atmosphere" DR.. Wer-
rer Siemcns gives the following theory
of the origin of cyclones: The compari-
tive vacuum formed at the c, ntre of o
cyclone caL produce suction only in the
direction of the axis of the cyclone, thus
either Rising the water upon the surface
over which it rotates, or drawing down
air from the higher regions of the atmos-
here. The existence of such q descend
ing current of air within o tornado is
confirm; d by the clear sky a:.d quiet air
often Observed ut its centre. We must
imagine, says DR.. Siemens, a local cyclone
as produced by all impu Sc of super
h ated air, due to some local cause or
other, gwen at the boundaries OF an up
per an lower tract of disturbance of the
neutral equilibrium of an atmosphere at
rest, which reaches tie boundary of the
upper cooled strata of air, which have a
tendency to descend. We must thus
have an outer decending current formed
round the ascending one, by means of
which rs much air d:scends rs has been
carried up by the ascending current. If
the disturbance Of equilibrium embraces
extended upper and lower strata of air,
the descending masses will produce an
incr. ase of pressure in the neighbor-
hool of the cyclone, gradually extend
ing to the surface of the earth, and on
the 9th r hand into the highest regions
OF the air, and transfer its vis oira con.
tinaally into new superhe tied masses OF
air which ascend in the cyclone, while @
part of the dc cending ext, rnal cyclone
circulating in the same direction ascend:
again with the inner, and tranfers it tc
part of the cis RIGA gained in the higher
regions of the air. The course of tht
centre of the cyclone is then determined
by the direction of the mean velocity O
all the air masses forming the cyclone
and its duration is that of the disturb
ancc of the neutral equilibrium of tn,
atmosphere which calltd it forth ano

StOnewall JackSOn's Courtesy.

When Harper's Ferry surrendered to
'Stonewall' Jackson in Sc, tember, 1852,
General Jackson halted his horse in front
of the Ninth Vermont, and, taking off
his hat, solcnnly said: ".'oys, don't feel
bad; you could not help it; it was just
a. God willcd it,
One Of .IackSon's staff kcI Colonel
Stannard, of the Ninth crmont. il he
had anything to drink. Staunard cour-
teously handed him his flask, and the
Young Confederate Captain poured out a
horn and AFRO antlv said: '> 'o!oncl, lerc
is to the health of Ihc Southern Confcd-
erary."
Stanna.d answered: "To ask and ac-
cent courtesy OF n prisoner IN then
insult him is an act that an honorable
soldier would scorn."
Jackson turned on his staff officer and
gave him severe scolding, saying the
rcpctition of such an insult 10 a pri oner
would cost him his place. Then turnir 6
to Colonel Stannard, General Jackson
apoloeizei for the conduct of his officer,
saving that it was an exceptional act of
insclence on the part of a young and
reckless man; and, bowing gravcly, the
famous Confederate General rode away.

MiserS

Ostcrvalde, the rich Paris banker, q
few days leforc his death, refused to
allow his servant to buy meat for broth.
True, should like the soup" said the
dying m;scr, "but I have no appetite for
the meat. What is TO become of that1
1t will be sad waste"
An English miser used to go about
drcs cd so shabby as to annoy his az
quaintances. At LAST, he was persuaded
to buy an old hat, "better as new,' from
a Jew. He pad shilling for it, and
the next day sold the hat for eighteen
pence.
The same miscr never took snuff 10
titillatc his nostrils, but he did take a
pinch out of every snuf-box proffered
him, whi:h he carefully placed in his
own box. When it was filled, he bar
tered its contents for farthing rush
light.
Lord Chancellor Hardwick was nick
named "Judge Gripus," on account of
his avar.ce, though he was Il learned
lawyer and an excellent Judge. When
visited on his estate by country gentle
men, who came to pay their respects to
the Lord High Chancellor, he compelled
them to send their horses to an inn, half
mile distant, that he might be saved
the expense of batting them. Yet he
was then worth four millions of dollars,
but dreaded to part with q shilling.
Marlborough, the great soldier of his
age, who left letween seven and eight
millions of dollars at his death, would
not hesitate at any mcanness to save a

Onion Culture.

Professor C. V. Riley believes that the
onion crop can be grown successfully,
even in a marked cut-worm season, by
adopting the following measures:
AS preventive treat the land early in
spring with mixture of lime and ashes,
preferably wood ashes. This mixture
should be lightly spread over the land
after ploughing and narrowed in. II,
after the seed is sown and the plants
begin to come up, the worms appear and
threaten damage, employ the po soned
ball system, which. in brief, consists in
placing along the rows, at distance OF
fifteen or twenty feet apart, small lunches
of fresh cut grass or other green plant /;
cabbage leaves answer a good purpose.
These punches of grass or green plant
should be previously sprinkled with Paris
green or London purple. Should the
worms still app ar in great numbers by
migration from surrounding fields,
sprinkle the ground at night, while the
worms are at work. with dilute emul-
sion of kerosene. A Goshen grower has
used pure kerosene for killing the worms,
simply blackening, not killing, the oni L
tips. The free use of pure kerosene may
injure the plants, hence an emulsion is
recommended as safer and cheaper. The
kerosene is emulsihed with soap or milk
in order that it may readily dilute with
water. There is little doubt bat that by
little spraying of tie fields at night with
this mixture the worms can be destroyed
by wholesale. 1t should be used most
thoroughly at the points in the field
where the worms are first noticed at work
and from which they spread to surround
ing points.

Warm Land for Corn.

The corn crop needs tropical heat Tor
O time to reach perfection. Many facts
90 to show that much of the benefit from
cultivation and manu:ing for corn IS due
to the effect these means have in making
the soil warm. In carly spring the more
frequently the ground is stirred the more
permeablc it is to the entrance of tn
air. Which at this season is always much
warmer than the soil In fact, blowing
ard cultivation turn under considerable
air spa es together with warmer soil on
the surface The heat from this rises as
the soil settles, thus warming the whole.
Coarse manure helps in the same way,
and by heating at the bottom of the
furrows it continues to warm the soil
through the season. Every farmer knows
how vigorous growth is given to corn
by rotting sod. This may be hastened
by frequent cultivation early in the sea-
son. In this way the worse the sod the
greater the advantage of frequent cultl-
vation. Good corn is thus grown on
land invested by quack grass, the cult
vation being then necessarily performed
once, and if possible, twice o week.
After rains, especially On heavy soil,
the cultivation can hardly be too frc-
qucnt, providing the soil does not pack
together. Every time it is stirred it is
opened to admit more warm air. Every
blade of quack grass put under the soil
helps to furnish more warmth, and this
il turn makes latent fertility available
for corn roots.
Soils for corn should be as loose as
possible, and this condition is sccu: cd
wherever they are full of vegetable
matter. A dark color also adds to the
warmth and for this relson the black
prairie soils of the West, full of decay
ing grass roots, were long unexcelled for
corn growing. 1t is probable that every
where, rs it he ONES more compact by
long cultivation, the best conditions for
growing corn easily will be more infre-
Gucnt; but knowing what tie corn crop
requires it will not b. difficult to supply
them. A CO er sod rots Immediately
after bel g turned under. Besides this,
its roots penetrate the soil deeply, and
as soan as severed from the top by shall
low plowing, their decay keeps the soil
both moist and warm Corn rarely suf-
fcrs from drought on clover sod, if we'll
cultivated during the growing season.
There is moisture in the subso!l until
late every season, and the very tap-roots
of clover make it available.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Turn the pigs iuto the orchard. They
will clear up the fall,n apples, worms
and all.
Every farmer should have a big patch
of rutabagas or Swedes. They are good
for the cattle, hogs, and sheep. They
require but little work when the land is
we'll prepared and enriched.
The hogs should have undisputed sway
in the orchard during the fruit season,
and they will eat up all the fallen and
wormy apples, and hunt out many OF the
grubs, ETC., which are in ,urious to the
trees. In this way they destroy many of
the enemies of sound fruit and sound
trees, and in other ways greatly benefit
the orchard.
Nerly oil fruit growers make the
mistake of sitting out Il greater number
of kinds than can be marketed with
profit. For family supply number of
varieties is admissible, though, even
then, nearly the entire supply will be
procured from n few favorite trees. For
market, at pre- cnt. god size and snowy
appearance are more important than
guilty, 50 that if fruit be fairly good
there is no paying demand for the very
best.
II n COW after repeated service fails to
get with calf keep her carefully from the
bull tn! &c months or more ard then try
again. Let her take the bull as near as
may be to the end of the heat. The eX-
citemcnt of this period often causes COWS
to discharge or destroy the vitality of h r
semen. Throwing pailful of water on
the cows back and sides after the service
is said by old farmers to be sure

Reduced Estimates OF the Probable
Yield-Damage by Drought.
A report prepared for the Chicago Far.
mer's Re,ic,r, indicates that tn. prolonged
drought will have very serious effect upon
all the late crops. The spring wheat outlook
has been in nowise impro Iel and the average
condition Of the cror has declined since July
!, when it was exp 81 tlat the probable to-
tai wheat yield of the United States would
not exceed r. und total OF 420, 0J0, 900 BUSH
els. The tenor Of the :t!cr reports indicate
that this estimate will have to be reduced by
from ten to lift zen million bushels The re-
ports from Nebra ska Iowa, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and Dakota do not indicate an average
OF six To ten bu shells to the are, with many
field; entirely ruined. Corn iSreported very
uneven in Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Iowa and Nebraska: aud, while looking
clean, is in need Of rain, and q shortage in
the yield is threatened. In Minnesota corn
is looking well, but is beginning to feel the
effe It OF the drought. The oat crop will tall

Tests for ARMY Swords.

Here is the test to which the famous
swords manufactured Cor the English
army are subjected at Solingen: The
blade has first of all to supi ort weight
of sixteen Kilograms placed upon its
point without showing the least defec-
tion. This pressure is then increased to
such all extent as to cause tie bending
b'ade to shorten by sixteen centimeters,
and on its removal to snap back per
fcctly straight. A hard blow is then
given, first with the edge and next with
the back of the blade, on an iron block.
the prescribed curvature being carefully
measured. Then comes tie bending test,
in which the blade is subjected to bend
of 'nety de- rees, firm which it has to
spring b'ck into the straight line.
Finally it is weighed, and not until the
centre of gravity is carefully adjusted
docs the receiving officer put his stamp
on the blade. Paris. American Register.

FATAL RIOTS

Twel.ty HoIlandcrS Killed and
Eighty Wounded at Amsterdam.
More than twenty persons have been re-
ported killed and eighty wounded in riots at
Amsterdam, Holland which commenced on
Sunday and lasted all through Monday. The
riots originated with the prohibition of the
''eel-killing' games, which the people re-
sented by attacking tie police, who tried
to prevent them from carrying out
the ancient custom. The soldiers were
then sent to tie a'sStance Of the police
aud serious conflicts took place. On Sunday
night the soldiers fire into q large crowd of
people, killing ton persons aud wounding
many others On Monday the people began
to erect barricadeS AMI conflicts with the
police and the so dicrS w:re renewed, with
the result above >tat:d.
The soldiers and police seem to have Suf-
fered quite as mu h in CO ualties as the mob,
for the wounded includ. no less than forty
two of them. 1t is not thought that the
figures given represent fully the casual
ties Of the riots, as many of the crowd
who were wounded escaped to their
homes or weru removed by their friends from
the scene Of the troubles. 1t is asserted that
the Socialists are fo:renting the disorders.
The games above referred to are peculiar
to Holland, where the sports of the people are
principally of aa aquatic character, and eel
killing is very popular. A line is stretched
across q canal, from with are suspended
numerous live eels. The line is either level
with the water or just below the surface.
Natives armed with forked spear about
eight CT TIN feet long, with two or three
barbed tines, s"ull d-wn to the target
Of sinuous appendag-s. If sportsman
drives tho tine; into an eel he can
easily wrench it from the line, for the
barts hold it firmly. But as the ee's are con-
tinually wrigglinS and s1uirming about it is
difficult matter to hit one. He who sue
ceeds in capturing the greater number is the
winner. Regular tournaments are orr sanized
and the competition is as sharp as at rifle
