A Horse Commits sulcide.

A remarkable story of the death Of a
horse by suicide is told by Mr.. Peter
Gumaer, a reputable citizen of Port
jervis, N. Y. lie owned handsome
brown mare, notably intelligent, kind
aud fast, for which he had refused an
offer of $1,000. The mare was suffering
with a painful and fatal disease. One
day recently two veterinary surgeons
visited her. and their treatment appar-
emily augmented her pain and sutTcrings
When she was again turned loose in the
field, where she was kept she immedi-
ately trotted of to shallow str, am of
water that ran through the lot, and,
wading into one of the deeper pools, she
plunged her head under water and held
it there until she sunk down. first upon
her knees and Their upon her side, and
was drowned. Her owner insists that
the sagacious animal knew what she was
doing, and that it was clear case of
suicide to escape intense physical suffer.

How Homes are Wrecked.

A brief dispatch in the Daily Neics throws
another high light on social evil which,
while it works untold misery, is almost en-
tirely disregarded or ignored. A prominent
citizen of Kansas City applies for divorce
from his wife and the mother of his children
on the ground of confirmed and ncurable
drunkenness. The unfortunate woman adj
mits the justice Of the action and only pleads
in eXtenuation that she contracted the love
for liquor by taking it at first as a medi-
cine.n
Tne physician who so prescribed it has a
heavy account to render at some bar, either
here or hereafter And there are numbers
of others equally culpable in every com
munity. In Chicago hundreds of homes
have been desolated through this medical
crime which is not linn ted TO prescribing
whisky, but all forms of stimulants aud in
toxicants-either chloral, hasheesh. NOR
phine, bromidia etc.
The dipsomaniac is bad enough, but the
slave of the opium habit or chloral is in
finitely worse. There is nothing too de-
grading no trick or art which human in,
genuity can invent no crime even, toe
monstrOus, to which the devotees of these
internal drugs will not resort TO obtain the
stimulant, narcotic, or intoXicant. And in
immensely the greater proportion they have
been led to their terrible fate by the pre-
scription OF the family doctor.
A writer in the September number of thS
Popular Science Monthly, describing how
the opium habit is acquired, suggests certain
means of preventing the spread of that form
of this social evil. We would extend his sug
gestion so as TO include alcoholic liquor, a,
well as opium, and require that no pre-
scrlption calling for any of this class o.
agents should be filled more than once by q
druggist without having the doctor specially
renew the prescription This would un
doubtedly do much to check the spread o.
these enslaving and insidious habits -

The autobiography has n curious and

Two or three years ago; but the natural

weeks before his DEATH at a meeting of the
New York Authors Club, whom this kindly
gentleman had invited TO his CHEEKY home
that he informed the editor of LipDincors
that he was at work on the autobiography.
Two weeks later the manuscript arrived in
the magazine office. On the morning of July
20 the managers of Lippincotfs received a

The Fatest Train in the World.

The Mail and Express declares that no
train in the world averages a mile a
minute including stops, There are
many that average much higher than a
tnile a minute, between stations, over
long distances. There is no train that
can be called the fastest in the world,
because some trains develop their re-
markable speed over short courses, while
other expresses, travelling hundreds of
miles, show even greater speed at points,
but do not present as high an average
over the entire distance. The fastest
short distance express in the world is
what is known as the forty-fve minute
train, between Baltimore and Washing
ton, over the Baltimore and Ohio Rail.
road. II goes over from Baltimore to
Washington in the middle Of the morn
ing and returns in the middle of the
afternoon. 1t is veritable thunderbolt,
and usually consists of engine, two first
class passenger coaches and parlor car.
The 45-minute train covers the &c miles
of its journey, from station platform to
station platform, at an average speed of
.33 miles per hour. The real speed
average in the clear country, between
the two cities, is about 20 miles per
hour.

The Carrot as n Farm Crop.

The carrot can be grown upon any
good, mellow, loamy soil, but requires
liberal feeding, aud its cultivation should
not be attempted in soil that is ex-
cessively weedy, or the labor at first will
be so great as to become discouraging,
as they must be kept clean in order to in
sure even average success. The carrot
is, however, when fairly rooted, o rapid
and vigorous grower, and its spreading
foliage greatly assists keeping down any
growth of weeds. Several hundred bush-
els may be grown upon the acre. They
should be harvested lefore they are in
jured by frosts and put in root cellar
that is secure from freezing. With dry
hay they form a most valuable supple
mentary food, and are especially liked
by horses. which seem to thrive under
them. Some farmers consider them fully
as valuable as oats for horses, and will
not be without them. They are also ex
cellent for milch cows, giving a rich,
wholesome color to the cream ard but
ter. 1t is a crop worthy of cultivation.

Spearmint and Peppermint.

A Minnesota correspondent in Ameri.
can Garden gives the follwing advice aud
information concerning the culture of
spearmint and peppermint; Select the
dampest piece of land you have, thor
oughly cultivate, clean and dress it lib
orally with farmyard manure, well
rotted, and work it thoroughly into the
soil to good depth, for mint likes a
deep, rich, damp soil. Get as many
roots as you require, then plow out fur
roughs across the field, or dig holes one
foot apart each way and three or four
inches deep; into those drop the roots
and have some one to follow and cover
them Immediately, so they will not dry.
Make all level, keep clean of weeds by
hoeing, and at the end of the two fol-
lowing seasons plough the field. This
cuts and separates the roots, which will
soon start again and mat the ground
completely with new growth. Keep
clear of weeds. After you cut the green
mint in July or August give the land a
top dressing of well-rotted manure; do
not disturb the root again and you will
have good crops of mint for many years.
Mint can also be grown in heated pits,
or frames under glass during the winter,
if well watered.
When you have once got a plantation
of mint you can enlarge it to any extent
by simply cutting the green stalks close
to the ground, take them to the land
prepared, stretch line across and dibble
them in as you would cabbage plants.
Firm the soil well to each cutting. Do
this IN damp or dull weather. The cut
tings will soon root and eventually make
better plantation than by the other
mode of planting

FARM AND GARDEN.
The oat Crop as n Fertilizer.

Oats do not enrich the soil to a great
extent, and it is not advisable to SOW oats
twice in succession on the same field un-
less the ground is previously plowed in
the fall, and it is not always advisable to
do this. Oats stubble grows excellent
wheat, it is true, and it undoubtedly is
true that the wheat crop from oats stub
BILE is better than it would have beer If
sown year previous, or before oats had
been grown from the land. Given the
choice of two fields for corn. one a timothy
meadow of six or eight years standing,
the other an oats stubble of average fer
tility, and the oats stubble is much pre-
ferable for the corn crop. Oats rather
tend to prepare the soil for other crops,
while clover enriches both for itself and
other crops. - NetO Tort Witness.
