eleven gentlemen OF the City Of Mexico tes-

Morgan, lately minister TO Mexico, asserts
that he left Mr. Sedgwick at the ball at

General Ceballos, governor Of the federal dis.

Sedgwick was guilty Of no improperly OF

He Iii So but the momont he touched tie
ground he found himself in the han Is OF
three strange mouse men. They were police
men, and thought he had been stealing, he
who was almost frightened to dea,h because
there were burglars in his room.
you are our prisoner said the largest,
in deep grulf voice. They bound him fore
paw and hind paw with cords till he squeaked
in pain. Then they went through his peck
cts and took every cent Of money from him.
Then two of them lei him TO prison He lay
all night upon hard lench in IA stone cell.
They tried him next day, and he had not a
friend in tn, crowd. They sentenced him to
go to prison an do all the meanest work for
the mice Fripsco was very unhappy, and
schened night and day how he could get
out He was quite satisfied now that his
own home was The incest place in the world.
But he was a cute, hri ,ht mouse, and was
too smart to let his cruel masters know that
he was thinking of escape He was very
good and doci.e, and did all he was told IN
the best way. 80 by and by they let him
have a little more liberty. He did not try to
run away, and next they gave him still more
liberty Then one fine morning Fripsco
skipped out and went home AS fast as his
paws could carry him. He had no rat horse
now, and had to trudge on foot, bat he was
very glad to do even that He reached home
all ragged and soiled, with his feet blistered
and the hair scratched OFF him. But they
were 81 glad to see him that they never
scolded HIM one bit As for Fripsco he
lived happy at home ever after. He had had
quite enough of seeing the world.

a square rod of grounl well exposed to
warmth and light of sun, is sufficient for
production of rs many cucumbers as family
W Il use. Sink n barrel, its sides well per-
forated Just beneath the surface of the
ground; I'll it with compost of stable manure
IF pOpll,ry droppings are mixed i'll all the
better: cover this with little straw. Then
plant on the outside, near the barrel, four
hills of cucumhers, the hills being well stirred
and enriched with good soil; give good Guilt
walton. Lay brush around for vines to run
over. Keep the contents of barrel we'll
watered. and an abundant crop may be ex-
pected. For usual mode of cultivation: Form
low, fat hills of rich soil; if not rich make
it so with compost of wel-rotted manure
and rich soil; that from the woods is best.
Poultry manure so .composted is as good ii
not better Thoroughly mix the compost
with soil The hills should be as much as
three feet across and eight or ten inches
deep and not more than four inches above
Ground. Plant about fifteen seeds in hill
one inch deep, the soil lightly pressed down
on them. When well up thin out to two or
three plants of vigorous growth Cultivate

a solution of salt and copperas, laid round

ton is perhaps the most etfectual against
the insect pests. Busting with gypsum is
very good.

The Y.oCo Weed.

Thousands Of cattle are killed annually in
Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico. etc, by this
loco weed. A stoc grower at Las Vegas, n.
NJ. says when his horses get a taste of this
weed, so bewitching is the taste, they will
eat nothing els, Horses poor in flesh seek
it more Greedily than those in better health,
And when once under the influence of this
weed the horse will refrain from all other
food, but is wild in seeking more of the loco
weed They are much like TIN slave to in
toxicating liquor. They become insane in
appetite for their destroyer.
1t is pretty positively stated that it is not
the poisonous nature of the weed, but that on
nearly all the stalks of this weed, near the
ground, there are found red specks, which
are the eggs of the loco worm, In eating the
plant the cattle and horses eat it so greedily
and thoroughly that they bite it close to the
ground, and swallow the eggs II the s.om-
ach these eggs are converted into worms, and
are the true cause of the animals death
The man says he finds the same worms in the
dead animals stomachs that he finds on the
loco weed after the red eggs are Matched.

Now that the season of cyclones and tor
nndoes has fairly opened, would it not be
we'll for those living in regions where these
destructive visitations are likely to occur with
the greatest violence to construct "cycIone
cellars" In an emergency such structure
conveniently at hand wonld often be the
safety of the family, and anyhow its cost
would be amply repaid 10y the reaSsuring
feeling that at the worst one would always
have place of refuge for himself and those
dear to him whenever whirling destruction
should threaten During the havoc wrought
at St Cloud, Sank Rapids and Rice's Sta
ton, MINI, little over week ago, many
who persisted would have had ample time
to find safety in such places had they

in an ordinary cellar A small brick-lned
room excavated from an ordinary cellar,
with an arched brick roof some distance
beneath the surface of the ground, would be
the safest and bsst protection. Where even
remote danger threatens the lives of all that
are dear. neither the prospect of thrilling
outlay of cash or labor. nor the small'es' OF
the risk. nor the fear of the neighbors' ridi-

every precaution. Although few such storms

Professor Oscar r. Gleason who has been
giving some remarkable exhibitions in the
way of subduing horses, has few simple
principles which he applies to produce his
astonishing results First, he says a horse
break an animal of bad habits the professor
begins by confusing him in some way till he
does not know what he is about Not know
ing what to do then, he gives in. Another
point is that people Gonot talk to their horses
enough. Mr.. Gleason says they can be l. y
to understand like children if they are talked
to. They are more intelligent, indeed than
people are sometimes, for they know when
they are subdued and give in all at once.
Often horse does not obey because he does
not know what is wanted of him. a horses
bad habits are always taught him by some
bad or ignorant person. He never has them
by nature BY patience, kindness, iirmness
and skill, the worst horse alive can be cured
of bad habits. Again, never whip balk-
ing horse after he has started. That VII
make him think next time that if he starts
he viii be whipped again, and he viii con-
clude not to bldge. When n horse has COM
pretended, and done what you have told him
to do, pat him, and talk to him kindly and
encouragingly. Professor Gleason has writ
ton a book, with pictures explaining his
methods. One curious thing which he does,
he says anybody may do He cracks a
whip to attract the horses attention. Then
he gees up close to him and looks him in the
eye. Then he backs off slowly, his eye fixed
on the animal still. The horse follows hin
all over the ground. Try it.

The Safest Way to Hive Bees.

think every first-fate bee keeper clips his
queens. the non clippers 10 the contrary, not
withstanding. When a swarm is seen
to'be issuing take little wire cage to the
swarming colony, and usually find the queen
just in front of the hive trying to fly. The
open end of the wire cage is put over her,
when she Immediately crawls up into i and
is shut in. Then, as soon as the swarm is all
out l close the entrance of the old
colony and turn it round facing the
opposite direction and two or three feet
from where it stood / then place my
hive for the new swarm on the old
stand and put the Gagged queen in it on top
of the frames under the quilt, and the work
is done. This occupies from thre TO five
minutes BY this time another swarm or
two may be issuing. when they can be treated
in the same way on the double quick. BY
this short and easy method have hived as
many as eigtH or ten swarms in about fifteen

BOYS GIRLS
FriDsco's Lesson.

l. am not sure that there are not some boys
like Fripsco for that was his funny name.
At least his story sounds much like that OF
boy oI<two whom l have known. fripsco
had good home and verythRg In plenty
His father and mother loved him very mnch,
for he was their oldest SON He had cheese
to nibble on and a nice run to gallop up and
down on all day if he liked, quite safe from
any monstrous cat But this unsrateful
mouse boy was not happy. He thought he
must see the world. He imagined it was
ever so much finer than his own snug home.
His father and mother entreated HIM to stay
with them. But no. he must see the world.
Go he would and go he did
When Papa and Mamma Mouse found
nothing would stop him they let him go.
His mamma wept as she babe him farewell

Replanting Corn and Tobacco

Cut worm ravages in corn or tobacco
fields may be made good by getting a few
hundred or thnu and two-inch flower pots
price about s. per 1000 When YOU plant
corn plant at the same time four kernels in
each pot, and where a hill is missing lift n
hill out Of one of the pots and replace it,
Transplanting out of the pots does not check
the growth. The transplanted hills will
come right on with the rest. With tobacco,
transplant into pots at the time you plant in
the field then fill up from the pots: it is bet
ter to start all your tobacco and cabbage
plants in pots; they can be transplanted any
time with safety without checking growth.

"ENGLAND's Glory

The cart horse is a cross between the
Flemish and old English draught breeds.
Selection and cultivation have made him the
leviathan that appears in the engraving. He
can draw a greater load than any other
horse in the world, is a very elephant of
strength, indeed. But he is slow, slower
than justice We give him as a natter of
information in this department. In prac
teal way, however, he is probably too slow
and clumsy for use in America. Here vast
loads are usually conveyed by steam machin-

therefore, is not 80 available as the Clydes-
