The general in command ordered Il

will laugh when they read of the in

where a belt buckle or Il button out OF
place is marked against the soldier,
and often the soldier think it Il little

In all companies there are few men
who look upon discipline rs useless, if
not foolish. A man in company,
who, when the order is "cyes right, "
will look to the left because there Is q
girl to the left that he wants to see, is
not fit for a soldier, though he may be
one of the best private citizens in the
world, and the sooner he gets out OF
company the better for the company.
Let the militia be allowed TO drill and
to parade, and TO become proficient,
and let every private soldier learn his
duties and perform them with pride,
and if occasion ever arises for large
army to be put into the field, each pri.
vate will be qualified to take a posi-

Among the patients at the New Jersey
lunatic asylum at Morris Plains is man
who is subjected To very little restraint and
whose insanity is only occasionally mani

Converse in an Unknown Tongue

A Louisville correspondent writes: An
evening paper few days ago prints the
following remarkable story from re-
liable correspondent at New Haven,
Nelson county, this State: IA respect
able farmer, Mr.. j. Knox Ice, who lives
seven miles northwest Of here, on the
Beach ford, has two sons Alexander,
aged Is, and Nicholas, aged 12-who
speak an unknown tongue which they
alone understand, and which is wholly
unknown to the parents or the rest Of
the family. It is . still more singular
fact that each boy speaks different
language, but they understand each
other. 1t was not until recently that
Alexander could learn to speak En-
glish, and Nicholas can't '.catch on''
yet, Alexander acting as interpreter be-
tween his younger brother and the
other members Of the family. The boys
are od-looking and endowed with
average intelligence. Mr.. Ice married
a Miss Boone and the families Of both
date back to our first settlers. The boys
have never travelled twenty miles from
home and have never been associ-
ated in any way with foreigners Of any
CLINE, and / doubt il they ever heard
any other language than the English.
Mr.. Ice has FIVE other children, two
older and two younger than these boys,
all Of whom speak their native tongue
plainly and always have, but know
nothing whatever Of the language spok-

Something has already been said
about the vineyard Of tho Scala Brothers
on Vesuvius. The yintagc was in pro-
2ress when l visited II. and saw the
t1cading OF the grapes and the first
stages OF wine-making. The room used
for crushing was n part Of the family
mansion. and was scarcely more than
Is or 20 feet square. The platform for
the treading was, perhaps. 8 feet high, 4
or feet wide, and built entirely across
one end Of the room. The front Of 1t
was raised few inches to prevent the
escape of the grape-juice, and it was
carefully cemented in every part There
was but single person treading, a stal-
wart peasant who ostentatiously washed
his feet before beginning in a small tub
OF water standing near; as he afterward
explained, out Of Difference to the stran-
ger. His feet were uncommonly broad
at the base Of the toes His dress was a
calico shirt and short trousers, which he
rolled up little, probably because he
wished to keep them dry. and not out Of
respect for the wine. Half ton of
grapes were put on the platform, and the
treading began about the edges and
then systematically all over the pile,
which was kept as well as possible to-
gether. The juice soon began to flow
freely across the platform and out at a
spout made in the little barrier of
cement into large tub. 1t was intend
ed for champagne, being the first. It is
the usual arrangement for trcading
where wine is made in large quantities.

How Many Hours for sIeepa

There is an old saying that has
frightened great many people from,
taking the rest that nature demanded
for them, mine hours are enough for 4
fool" They may be; and not too many
for q wise man who feels that he needs
them. Goethe, when performing his
most prodigious literary feats, felt that
he needed nine hours; what is better, he
took them. We presume it is conceded
by all thoughtful persons that the brain
in very young children. say three or
four years Of age, requires all Of twelve
hours in rest, or sleep. This period is
shortened gradually until, at fourteen
years of age, the boy is fonnd to need
only ten hours. When full grown and
in healthy condition; the man may
find night Of eight hours sufficient to
repair the exhaustion of the day and
new-create him for the morrow. But II
he discoUer that he needs more sleep he
should take ii. There Is surely some
thing wrong about him; perhaps for
gotten waste must be repaired. His
sleep, evidently, has not been made up;
and until it has and he can spring to
his work with an exhilaration for It, he
should sensibly conclude to let his in
stinct control him and stay in bed. ---

see o big train OF coffee was made
up at New Orleans for this market, the
coffee coming from South America.
This is great industry. Coffee is the
principal product of Brazil. growing in
the mountain country, being better as
the hills are sleeper, and amounting
to 100000 bags annually. Coffee
growing is an interesting industry The
seed is first sown, and when the bush
is about two feet high it is transplanted
in rows about. four feet apart In four
years the bush bears fruit and thereaf-
ter for forty years, the tree being in full
vigor from its tenth year until it decays
at forty. The plantations present their
most beautiful and attractive appear
ance in September and October, when
the trees blossom. The blossoms are
white and very fragrant, and are sue
'ceeded by small fruit, green at first,
and which is not ripe for gathering un-
til March, and from that to August. Ii
often happens, that the gathering is con-
tinued the year round, many trees pro-
ducing more than two crops. The labor
Is done by slaves, many planters owning
hundreds of them. After the fruit Is
gathered it is thrown into large, open
yards, paved with rock and stone, and
on a grade sufficient to run the water
away. After some days exposure to
the sun. the berries being perfectly dry,
/ they are put into the crusher to sepa-
rate the coffee from the husk The coffee
is then passed through large and small
sieves, one under the other, with large
fan at the back Of them, by which
means the coffee is relieved of the husks
and graded according to the size of the
grain. The best is sent to the burnish-
er, which gives it an additional market
value, and to obtain still fancier quail
~, though this is in reality only ques-
tion Of the eye, the grain is placed in q
tank half full Of decoction of green
coffee-beans and water. After remain
ing there several days this dyed grain
is dried and FURNISHED and sold as extra
fancy, though it is not really better than
the other as far as the quality or taste Is
concerned. This work is all done by
appliances on the plantations and I
was told very recently that several
planters have as much as $25O,OO0 in
vested in machinery Of all kinds. This
system Of getting the coffee ready for
the market is of course only employed
by the wealthy planters. There are
many who are still very backward and
retain all Of the primitive methods. NJ

week, it was an enjoyable one, being the
furtherest west I have been on the Southern
Kansas All u
The country ID the vicinity Of Medicine
Lodge is quite broken but there are large
tracts which are capable Of being turned into
fine farms. I'll claimed that the hill-sidea
will make the very best kind of locations for
the cultivation Of the vine, and that in very
few years Southwestern Kansas will be COW
cred with vinyards. Experimenting in the
cultivation Of the vine is going on now, and
should it prove successful there is no doubt
but it will introduced very extensively.
! saw very fine wheat along the route which
looked as if they would give large yield il
the remainder of the season is favorable II
is Thought that wheat suffered q good deal
from the severity Of last winter, but am in
clined to think there will be more Of yield
than was expected. But little reliance can
be placed upon reports sent out Just after q
hard season and before things have begun to
turn green, for then is the time when people
are prone to look ON the dark side Of every
thing, especially as to the prospective yield
in wheat. n iss IN ssaS a u ii +
