The HoRR1D BRUTE WOULDN'T START.
In the way most women manage horses
there is something that causes the aver
age man to believe that Providence does
protect US. A lady stepped into her
sleigh on Wabash street the other day,
and, taking up the reins, talked to her
horse like this:
"Get up"
"Go on, Billy"
sect up! Get up"
"Billy, why don't you go?"
"You horrid brute"
"What a stupid"
The horse, despite all this, stood stock
still. Then his mistress spoke to a gentle-
man who had been watching her:
"Can you make this animal start. sir?"
He politely bowed, came forward, un-
hitched the horse, and patted him on the
neck. Then the "horrid brute" and "stu-
pid animal' started.

pss- Rector w. H. Capers, of Trinity
Church, Lancaster, Pa, tells a story about
the black people of a town in South Caro-
lima, where he once lived. The Unitari-
ans built a church there, and they were a
new and novel sect, in the opinion OF the
negro population, who had been told that
the members of the new church were mo
hell" folks. The definition fitted the ne.
gro tongue better than didthe "Unitarian,"
and so the new sect got to be known to the
blacks by the words which denoted their
disbelief in eternal damnation. One night
the Unitarian Church burned down. 1t
was q night of great rejoicing among the
blacks, who shouted, "De 'No-hell church,
burned down! Now dem wicked sinners
will come into de fold. If dey can't stop
de fire in dis world, dey can't do it in de
next. Hallelpjah! De 'No-hell church

some question frankly and fully every

affirmative; and when last seen he had

CULLIBILITY.

The wild phantoms and ~shrleking cries of n worth
less humbug can make money by imposing upon the
credulity and ignorance Of an honest public, and The
supply of this species ofwork seems more than an ade-
quate demand. The enunclation of facts-facts that
have stood crucial tests-facts proven by BRAN force and
tangible evidence, should satisfy oil laudable enter
prlses; but the execrable practice of teaching false
ideas and doctrines for self ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Is truly
reprehensIble and should be scorned by all classes.
When one house tells you that Iodide Of Potash Is
a poison simply because their opponents use 1t, and
because they are pandering to your ignorance, as they
suppose, you should look upon all such as arrant
frauds and their remedies as unworthy Of public con-

A TRICK IN RIFLE SHooTING.-"No,
sir, I do not claim to be an expert at fancy
shooting" said Captain Jack Crawford, in
answer to an inquiry. There is too much
trickery-a sort of sleight of hand business
connected with it. I do pretend to be a
crack shot, and to excel in accuracy and
rapidity with a Winchester rifle. L have
fired twelve shots in three and a half sec
onds. But here let me enlighten you as to
one of the neat little tricks used in fancy
shots" Here the scout produced what
appeared to be, as he held it at a distance,
a brass shell tipped with a leaden ball.
sLooks like q bullet, don't it?" ne said,
with a laugh. swell, it isn't. 1t is SIM
DIV a papier mache protuberapce appro-
priately colored to look like lead: Now,
I'll show you what's behind it." Picking
D the end he disclosed to view a guam
tity of shot-about 200 he said were in the
she'll, with Just enough powder at the butt
to do the work. "How are these used ?
You have probably witnessed the feat of
cracking glass balls thrown in the air by
shooting at them with a Winchester, and
while riding a horse going at a gallop.
Well, that's the kind of a bali cartridge
that is used, and the spectators look on
with wonder and admiration, supposing
that it is done with a single ball, and that
is something, my boy, that no man in the
world has ever done, or will do, because,
it is a physical impossibility." -Buta0o

THE MAN AND THE SOIL.

After all is said, there is more in the man
than there is in theground. Some ground
becomes worn and run down, and gets TOO
poor to set flax without turning 1t w
often. When it changes hands, and is cul-
tivated differently, and manure and a nt.
tie fertilizer applied until red clover will
take root, then fine crops of grain will
grow, and you will hear some one say he
did not think there was anything in that
old field, when really there is as much in
one field as another if the right man takes
hold. There are old men, farmers for fifty
or sixty years, who don't understand how
to cultivate corn to make it a success: l
know some farmers who will not ploW
corn when it is dry weather simply be-
cause it has no weeds or grass in it. Their
idea is when clean it does not need STIR
ring. But as the dry weather increases,
the c%ultivator should 60 the more. II your
ground is we'll and deep ploWed early, and
your ground we'll mellowed before plant
ing, with the proper use of the cultivator
there can be fair crops made in the driest
seasons. Never plow too deep after first
blowing, for the roots need compact earth
to hold moisture. Where there is no
moisture there is no possible means OF
plant roots getting a drink, for that is the
Way they live, and if the one means OF
subsistence is cut off how soon you see the
effectin the parched blades. 1t don't mat
ter how rich your soil is, ifthe earth is not
in a condition to hold moisture your corn
will not grow. I don't mean water when
I say moisture, for this moisture can be
obtained to some extent without rain. l
am no scientist to explain how, but part is
done by the atmosphere coming n contact
with the ground often and not too long on
the same surface. [ had as o nave
rocks in nv cornfield as hard clods; they
will absorb all the available moisture at
night and the sun will extract it during the
day, so the plant is robbed by degrees OF
the supply. Drilled corn will stand cult
walton in dry weather with better results.
There is a strip of roots that is not broken,
and the moisture will meet from either
side to supply them. If you think it
won't just try it.-Honae and Farm.

WHEN Is A MAN DEAD DRUNK?-A
man is dead drunk' when the fluid
which circulates through the arteries and
veins contains one part of alcohol to 1875
parts of blood. Should the proportion be-.
come one part of alcohol to 100 of blood
death must ensue. In ordinary cases the
drinker loses consciousness before so great
a proportion of alcohol has entered the
circulation but the fatal dose is some
times taken when large quantity of alco-
holic liuuor is swallowed quickly.
