Some OF the Popular Tunes Of Forty
Years Ago RecalleA.


The "Arkansaw Traveller" like "Grey
Eagle" and 'Wagoner" named for the
rivals in the great Kentucky horse race
half century or so ago-and Clip Coon, !"
"H-ll on the Wabash" "Rackback
Davy," ''Natchez Under the Hill. !"
"Sugar in a Gourd," and fifty other
dancing tunes known to old-time tiddlers
and dancers, had no composers in the
sense that the better class of music has.
Each 'growd," like Topsy, from two or
three pleasing musical phrases that some
fellow had accidentally struck IN his
practice, and repeated till others learned
them and added to them. and finally
made complete air of them.
The origin of many popular songs was
much the same. Nobody knows who
was the author of the Hunters of Ken
tucky," or "Perry's Victory" or ''St
Glars Defeat Poor Old Maids,
or "All on Hobbies" or the "Great
Sea Snake" or "Poily Hopkins,
or any OF the old songs that the
grandfathers and mothers Of the present
generation entertained themselves with in
their young days. Now the songs are as
completely lost as their origin, except
where some bald headed old fellow, who
was . sort of society minstrel in bis
youth, can recall . verse or two. or
where some collector of rare old books
has preserved copy OF the "Western
or the ''Columbian Song
Book, or some similar collection of the
''folk songs Of half century ago, be-
fore negro minstrelsy in its crudest form
had appeared in such songs as "Jenny,
Git Your Hoe Cake Done. "Walk Jaw

"O!d Zip Coon" and "Clar De Kitchen. "

The Parrot and the Earthquake.

At 10 O'Clock on the night of Aug. 81 was
seated near famous parrot Its cage was
covered I was reading a newspaper. Sud
denly the bird dropped from its perch in
great excitement. Sand and gravel flew in
all directions, and water was thrown from
the little cup and sprinkled against the wall.
l snatched the covering from the cage. The
bird hung by its feet from the top bars. Its
eyes were wild and it seemed dazed. Under
the supposition that an ant had bitten it
tried to soothe it, and searched the cage with
out result The parrot answered no ques-
lions, and beyond a contraction Of the pupils
of its eyes made no motion. At last, after
ten minutes had passed, in clear and startling
accents it asked "What is it?" From that on
it was dumb until daylight. The cause of its
terror was learned on the next morning when
the newspapers were filed with accounts OF
the great earthquake. The parrot had felt
the shock, which had been unnoticed by those
near it-New York Letter

yield that gives the profit In growing

potatoes ia about $50 bushels to the

If sold at fifty cents per bushel would
be SIS, deducting the cost it leaves $35

THE WOMEN OF SCOTLAND.
The Scotch Girl-TaH People-Healthy
Physiques Rule-Head Dress.

The Scotch Girl-Tau People-Healthy
Physiques as q Rule-Head Dress.
These Scotch people are very fine looking,
and their faces have great strength of feature
and at the same time much refinement. The
Scotch girls are exceptionally fine looking,
and even among the lower classes you see
very many refined faces In the stores there
are lady clerks who would pass muster as
well-bred girls anywhere, and many of the
barmaids in the whisky shops are beauties.
The women of Scotland do a great deal Of
work A white-capped, middle-aged, rosy
checked lady usually presides over each OF the
largest hotels, and nearly all of the railway
restaurants are managed by women. Both
sexes in Scotland have, as rule, good healthy
men than in America. They have better COM
plexions, more active walk, and are, as a rule,
stronger and healthier.
Speaking of Scotch girls, saw great num-
bers of them in the trip took down the
Clyde to Rothsay, which is the great summer
watering place of Scotland. They, as q rule,
dress very well, though I don't think they
show the style of our American girls. Their
head gear is especially queer, and sometimes
in bad taste. The fashionable thing here
seems to be to wear mems caps and to choose
the ugliest shapes and styles you can find. A
favorite one is fiat skull cap with a long
rim behind and in front. 1t hides the eyes
and is not at all pretty Another style is a cap,
used great deal When on the right girl
it is not bad, and the same may be said of the
Scotch turban. This turban is used both by
men and women. Still another style has long
ribbons hanging down the back, and it is of
the same style used by the soldiers of some Of
the Highland regiments. These soldiers are
bare-legged fellows with short plaid dresses,
and they form a queer sight as they strut
along, working for glory at twenty five cents
day.
These soldiers of Great Britain you meet
everywhere, and very pompous fellows they
are. The Highlanders are less so than the
others, who come from the low lands, some of
whom dress in red coats and white panta-
looms, and others who have short red waists
and little caps stuck on the side of their heads.

ABOUT POTATOES.
A Note ~orthy Experiment With Eight Va
rieties on One Acre.

A Note --orthy Experiment With Eight Va
rieties on One Acre.
In the spring of 1885 1 noticed there
was to be test trial for large yield
Of potatoes and by = number of scien-
nfc potato growers. then concluded
20 test one acre with some of my best
yielders, selected from seventy-five va
rieties, and to plant eight varieties on
one acre evenly divided, 2-9 each. The
soil chosen was rich sandy foam, un-
derlined with mari. l plowed the same
fall ten inches deep. Then l put 400
pounds of kainit and twelve cords OF
Vell-rotted stable manure, spread
evenly on the same. / then narrowed
and cross-plowed again about eight
inches deep. Then narrowed deep and
thoroughly, and had rows marked
three feet apart. Trenches were now
opened with one-horse pillow eight
inches deep by going through twice in
each row. Then with hoe l graded
the trenches to about six and one-half
inches deep, when it was fitted for
planting.
! The seed had been cut to single eyes
four or five weeks previously, busted
well with plaster and spread on boards
and with more plaster to keep them
from heating. Now in planting dis
card all pieces that are not spronted;
aiso pieces of the seed end that has two
sprouts on. This gives me a full stand,
with no hills missing, and much earlier
potatoes than if cut and planted at the
same time. / have used about eleven
bushels to plant this one acre. Gener-
ally, l only get forty good one-eye sets
from one pound of potatoes, and this
makes 1872 in eleven bushels, and
this is the amount / used. BY dropping
in the trenches first one set, then two
sets, alternately, ten to eleven inches
apart, | now, with hoe, cover the
sets two inches deep. For an extra
yield in this case I scattered in the
trenches 600 pounds of Mapes' potato
manure and $50 pounds of plaster,
mixed. The trenches are now left
open to receive the dews and rains ON
the trenches it would do but little
good, if any, if dry season.
As soon as the buds appear begin
ouftivating and filling up the trenches
as fast as the vines grow, until the
vines reach above the surface. After
tAis they were cultivated and hoed
fbree times each, cultivating each time
twice in each row, and the last time
through widening out the cuhivator in
order to cultivate close up to the vines
liter this I cultivate again, and then
hill up with hitler. Thorough and fro
goent cultivation for potatoes is worth
as much as one thousand pounds of
common commercial fertilizer with light
cultivation. have said eight varieties
were to be planted to the acre Each
variety had 2, 156 hills to one-eighth Of
n acre. Their names and amount of
bushels grown from each variety and
First, 1 will say the average yield per
hill for the acre is only three and one

Nipped IN the Bud.

For eleven years have suffered
from cancerous sore on my throat.
At times it became very angry in ap
pcarance, discharging large quanti-
ties of matter and giving me intense
pain. / used the ordinary house
hold remedies only, and it would dry
up and scab would form over II,
then it would increase in size again
and discharge freely. Thus for years
1t has been annoying me. A cancer
doctor in Atlanta decided 1t was a
cancer, and wanted 10 cut 1t out. |
could not muster courage to let him
use the knife on my throat. About
that time l saw the advertisement of
Swift's Specific, and the statement Of
some one suffering like myself. !
determined TO try 1t, and in May,
1884, commenced its use. My gen
eral health began to improve from
the first. ! was unable to eat any
thing scarcely, and become quite
feeble; but my appetite increased,
and / can eat anything now. The
sore has healed up and am in per-
feet health. The only sigu is a
small red spot about the size of a
pea, but it gives me no pain. Am
sure that few bottles more will even
remove that. 1t has done more for
me than all other remedies used.

The cordial aud earnest endorse
ment Of President Clcveland's ac-
tions in regard to old veterans by the
G. A. r. OF New York, is testimo
nial highly cred:table to the chief
executive, and it will take more than
the snarling, snivellng and whining
clacking of the republican organs to
disprove it in their efforts TO show
that Mr.. Cleveland is not friendly to
the veterans. These organs have
wasted vast amount Of ammunition
in blazing away at the administra-
for appointing rebels to office" and
everytime republican veteran has
been removed from office, even
though his place has been promptly
filed by veteran who is democrat,
the sniveling organs have lost no
time in abusing the president. But
here comes $4,000 patriotic veterans
Of the empire state, members OF the
Grand Army of the Republic from
all stations in life ard political faiths,
and in few words cordially endorse
the acts OF the president and cheer
fully attest that they believe he is
honestly in favor of acting fairly and
honora5ly towards all old soldiers,
and that the letter and spirit of all
enactments in favor of the veterans
shall he faithfully carried out. This
is fitting rebuke to the bowling
and whining organs who are con-
stantly alleging that the democratic
president is hostile TO the veterans.
