A Chinese missionary says he think

"A Chinese missionary says he think
that it will be many years before rail
roads can be built in China because Of
the superstition of the people. Chine
be says, is one vast graveyard. On every
side there are to be found the mounds of
those who have died. The Chinese will
not allow these mounds to be disturbed
under any circumstances. Their super
stitiou forbids the removal of body or
the interference with the grave of any
person once buried with the proper ceres
monies. Twice year they visit the graves
of their ancestors in the spring with Of
ferings of the first fruits Of the season and
in the fall they repair to tho graves and
burn incense. Ifa railroad should attempt
to enter the country some Of these
mounds would have to be removed or
else the rails would have to wind in and
out among them.
"A case that has puzzled the physi'
clan isreported from the Miller township.
Mrs. Mary e. Myers, an aged woman
ofMcAlery's Fort, for the last three weeks
has been confined to her bed with pneu-
monia, and on Tuesday last her life *as
despaired of. During the temporary
absence Of her attendant, Mrs. Myers
while laboring under an alteration of
mind, arose from her bed and wandered
out of the house. Four hours afterwards
she was found three miles from home in
the wood with no other covering tha her
night dress and thin shawl wrapped over
her. She was taken home, and has al,
most entirely recovered from her attack
of pneumonia. In travelling through the
snow Mrs. Myers feet were badly frozen.

Debts on the Bank of Sense.

The way to bave a coed credit is to
keep out Of debt.
To be intelligent is to be honest, kind
and good.
You have as much right to put your
hand into another mans pocket as your
nose into another mans business.
a kind word costs you nothing, and
the retnrn Of it may come at time when
you need Utmost.
Trust no mans appearance. The
toughest bark covers the soundest tree
and the thinnest ice has the smootheat
surface.
He who longs after good precepts is
quickened in his imagination and
strengthened in his expression. The
vine which grows in the sun is the
fullest of sap and sweetest of fruit.

Spring Oats.

The acreage sown in fall oats is much
less than usual. The freezing out of a
large portion of the crop of 1886 by the
hard freezes in January 1887, had most
discouraging effect, which was augment
ed by the unfavorably dry weather which
prevailed in some parts of the. country
during the sowing season. z. The oat crop,
however, is too valuable, and in the long
run too reliable to be given up. Spring
sowing costs little more than the seed,
even if the crop fails from drouth and
good breadth-eight OF ten acres at
least to each plow run-should be put
in. In our judgment-founded upon
experience and observation-oats sown
in February are much less liable to In
jury by freezing than if sown in January.
Sowing in the cold twelve days" smacks
more of superstition and sentiment than
sound reason. Our hardest weather is
usually from December Is to February l,
and it is not often that oats sown in Feb
ruary are killed by freezing. The soil
for spring oats, if not already fertile,
should be we'll manured and deeply and
closely plowed-the latter to guard
against drouth as much as possible. If
the land be cross plowed, SO as to leave
the furrows partly open, the seed may be
sown broadcast and narrowed in with
good results. Cotton seed, or the meal
alone, or in compost with acid phosphate
and potash, makes an excellent fertilizer
for oats. The crop requires rather more
ammonia and potash than the percentage
usually found in commercial ammoniated
phosphates.
& Undoubtedly the Burt oat is the safest
for spring sowing, as it will mature in
100 to 120 days when sown in. February
or. March, according to latitude. Sow
plenty Of. seed; the later the sowing, the
heavier should be the seeding. Allow
for yield of twenty fold, Is a pretty safe
general rule, unless the expected yield
or capacity of the land is small, in which
case the seeding should be somewhat
|, heavier than ssthis rule would indicate,
and vice versa.-Southern Cult;uator.

All bout Fans.
Dru Goods Chronicle,

NIB 'VOA9 Nfta
Kan 81 was the first lady who carried q
fan. She lived in ages which are past and
for the most part forgotten, and she was
the daughter OF a Chinese mandarin. Who
ever saw q mandarin, even on q tea chest,
without his fan? Ia China and Japan to
this day every one has a fan and there are
fans of all sorts for every body.
The japanese waves his fan at you when
he meets You by way of greeting, and the
beggar who collects for aims has the ex-
ceedipgly small coin made on purpose
for charity presented to him on the tip OF
the fan.
In ancient times, among Greeks and
Romans, fans seem to have been enormous;
they we're generally made Of feathers, and
carried by slaves over the heads of their
masters and mattresses to protect them
from the sun, or waved abaut before them
10 the air.
Catherine de Medici carried the first
folding fan ever seen in France, and in the
time of Louis XVI. the fan was a gorgeous
thing, often covered with jewels, and
worth a small fortune.
In Eugland they were the fashion in the
time Of Henry VII. A Ian set In dlafnonos
was once given to Queen Elizabeth upon
New Years Cay.
The Mexican feather fans which Cortez
had from Montszuma were maryels OF
beauty, and in Spain a large black fan is
the favorite. 1t is said that the use Of q
fan is as carefully taught in that country as
any other branch of education, and that by
a well-known code Of signals q Spanish
lady can carry on O long conversation with
any one, especially an sdmirer.
The Japanese criminal Of ranks politely
ex ecuted by means OF a fan. On being SEN
fenced to death he is presented with q fan,
which he must receive with q low bow,
and, as he bows, presto the executioner
draws his sword and cuts his head of. In
fact, there is q fan for every occasion in
Japan.
