Saved by Presence Of Mind.

"A man working on tho Huntington
bridge across the Ohio, near the foot Of
Central avenue, was standing on one OF
the piers at least twenty feet above ths
water. All around the base Of the pier
were broken stone, driven piles AMI all
sorts of debris, ON which falling body
would be dashed to pieces. Nowhere about
the pier was there any deep water, save
in q narrow hole, the upper part of which
had an area of not more than four by six
feet. While the man stood upon the ed &c
Of the pier, unknown to him, huge stone,
suspended from a derrick. was being
swung toward him into its place. 1t
struck his shoulder, and instantly he was
plunged head.ong. Did he strike the
rocks or piIing below? Not at all. He
made as neat dive as ever did the most
expert swimmer directly into the we'll
hole already described, and came out un.
injured. Had he swerved foot to the
right, his brains would have been spat-
tered upon the rocks.

CAPACITY OF FARMS.

A Subject Which Should be Carefully
studied by Agricuiturists.
Every farmer should study the ca,
pacitv of his farm. so as to be able t.
turn its resources to the best account
Some farms are naturally adapted te
grass production. and can be made tt
produce heavy crops of hay yearly for
long time. Other farms soon run out
when seeded to grass. but are good foi
cropping. On such farms a large ares
should be ploughed yearly, cropped
and fertilized. aud seeded down. Fol
few years good crops of grass can be
obtained, and then the land needs re-
seeding. The aim on such farms
should be to have from one-third tc
onc-half of the tiIlage under the pillow
all the time. 81 tat the grass land will
all be newly seeded. and the farmer
will be able to re-pIow rs soon as the
grass begins to run out.
Then there are farms that arc rocky
and rough. The soil is stony and fer
tile, but is not adapted to cultivation.
Applc-,rees, perhaps, will thrive with
remarkable vigor on such land. and the
farmer should accept the indication,
and plant it to apple-trec until he has
all he can take care Of. A man in East
Winthrop, Me-, had farm of that
character. 1t was of little value for
tillage, but he found that the Roxbury
russell throve remarkably well. and pro-
duced excellent fruit. He ''took the
hint" and set his farm largely to Rox-
bury russell trees until nearly thirty
acres were covered. Now. in some
years, he sells $1,000 worth of fruit.
He has made rocky and almost worth
less farm one of the most valuable in
town. simply because he used it for the
purpose to which it was best adapted.
That is what the farmer should try TO
do; study the capabilities Of his farm,
and then try SO to manage it that he
will draw out of it the best that it is
capable of aff,rding. 1t will not do to
manage farms all in one way. on ac-
count Of the great diversity in soils and
physical conditions. N Y. Err

LUCK IN A HUMP.
A Singular superstition Prevailing Among
Professional Gambiera.

II will let you rub my hump with

the remark, but she seemed SO much in
earnest and so DESTROYS of the small
piece of money that l gave it to her
and rubbed her hump for luck. put the
money on IA and-lost. 1t was the
strangest piece of tipping that ever
encountered in all my European trav-
els. yet there are three or four hump
backs who are habitues Of the gambling
saloon at Monte Carlo, and who make
. living by letting the superstitions rub
their lucky hump with money.
l remember an experience once in
America of the same kind. but it was
not for a tip that the hump was rubbed.
A friend once told me to rub the hump
of hunchback with money. not letting
him see you do it, and it was good luck.
1t was race week and / thought l would
try it; so, slipping up behind little
hunchback who was going through the
corridor Of prominent hotel in WASH
ington. pretended to be taking off my
coat, and, having money in my hand.
accidentally. as it we're, let that hand
hit the hunchback, sud thus rub the
money on the lucky hump. But. alas!
the man turned around and had to
apologize for thus seemingly assaulting
him.
or course 1 knew then that no luck
would come from the contact of the
money with the hump, and SO did not
put any on the races and perhaps saved
by 1t. But at Monte Carlo it seems to

edge Of the unfortunate. rub your
