Tie stories that are told of Gushing.
who Is now In New Mexico making a
study OF Zuni traditions, are quite ro-
mantle. ] met last night a gentleman
who has just returned from a visit TO
Gushing. He y ''You know when
Gushing went down . New Mexico first
he attempted 10 make a study Of the
Zunis, but found out that he could make
no progress with them unless he himself
turned an Indian. Gushing addressed
himself 10 this task with his usual zeal.
and after a short time the transmogrii-
cation was complete. He tells me that
the Zunis have a hut In which they keep
the scalps of their enemies, and so long
as this hut has a certain number of scalps
the Zunis say that the god Of wal is salts
fed, and that he does not want war.
But unfortunately for the peace of the
Zunis the hut, which was built on the
banks Of the river, was swept away by a
sudden flood. The Zuuis were desperate.
There were no scalIs, and the god OF
war demanded nc leIst two to avert an
outbreak. Cushing saw a chance to pre-
ven this war. He lelegraphed for two
scalps, which he knew TO be in Washing
ton, and which arr ved in due time The
Zunis were still in great agitation wheI
the two scalps ARR sed. Gushing formally
presented them 10 the chief priest, and
the wal was averJed. When the chief
priest and the other priests had re-
covered from their surprise they began to
think that Cushing was a man who could
accomplish any wonder. They looked
upon him as a god, and, nothing being
too good for him, they Immediately ad.
United him into the priesthood. and he is
now n of their head priests.
This securing Of. the scalps turned mi
more fortunate for Gushing than M
would at first suppose. For it saved him
from matrlmony, So pleased we're the
Zunis with Cushing that they had deUer
mined q find for him a wife. A Stout
ZunI maiden was found for him. and
Gushing was told to prepare for his MAJ
rage. Needless TO say that Gushing did
not relish this proposition, and he fought
agains, the coming of the evil day He
would have surely zen married had II
not been for the opportune arrival Of
these scalps, and his being made a priest
excluded him from marriage, Gushing
has not as vet made public any of his re
searches, and it will probably be some
time before he does. The money that
has been gwen him foi this important
work has been subscribed by a very en-
thusiastic lady, who has set no limit upon
his time Cushing was lately on . visit
TO tins city and he SAID that he traced q
relationship between the Chinese signs
and the ZunI signs, and, m tact, he sand

any other kind, and always got good
crops, even including last year; and this
gentleman believes he can profitably use
ton to the acre when the average price
of potatoes In this section can be obtained
for his crop. Repeated experiments
will, however, be necessary to settle the
question of discarding any portion of the
potato as seed. The potato has the
habit of degenerating to degree that
has caused the best and favorite varieties
of former times to become obsolete, so
that even their names are scarcely re-
membered, and some of the more recent
ones, such as the Peachblow and Early
Rose are giving place to newer Seeding
varieties, to be themselves displaced
hereafter in the same way. If we were
dependent on the tubers alone for the
propagation of the potato, this would be
an alarming fact; but fortunately we
have in the seed the ready means of re-
juvenating the species, and the more
than five hundred new varieties, many of
them surprising the former excellencies
of the parent stock, attest the success Of
potato specialists in this direction.
In States, when the crop can be har
vested in May or June and sometimes as
late as July, it is becoming somewhat
common to raise a second crop by expos
ing the small potatoes to the air but L OF
to the sun for a couple of weeks or longer,
until they become dry and green in color,
when they are planted whole and are dug
in the fall, producing seed for the next
year, which has not the same tendency to
sprout in the winter from a warm cellar,
as is generally found in those fully ma
tured. As these partly grown potatoes
are slow in terminating, soon after being
dug it is we'll to start them to sprOuting,
which is done by putting them in bar
rel placed in a cool spot and sprinking
them every day, and covering with
damp cloth until they show signs of ger
mination, when they may be planted.
Flat and hill culture each has its advo-
Gates, and persons are more competent to
determine their own soils, than from any
advice that can be given, and for the
same reason no particular varieties will
be recommended for seed, except to say
that for the general crop select the one
which from your own experience and
that of your neighbors you know to be
well adapted to your soil and your mar
ket. This, however, is not to be under
stood as discouraging any one from test
ing in moderate way the new varieties
confidently recommended by we'll
known specialists, as it is only IN this
manner that the best can find their way
into general use.--Nea0 Y1rk World.

Potato Culture.

Not great many years ago 1t was the
practice to plant whole potatoes in such
quantities as to form quite a large per-
centage of the expected yield, which has
been succeeded at the present time by the
opposite extreme of planting single eyes,
leaving ample room between the two
methods for cultivatOrs to experiment as
to the amount of seed and the methods
of cultivation from which the best results
may be obtained. Owing to the short
crop of last year, seed will be high and
it will be a good time to plant whole
small potatoes, such as have been given
to the pigs in plentiful years and many
even now prefer them to cuttings, but
planting Irish and Scotch grown seed is
entirely unsafe, for the experience of
those who have experimental with them
has shown them unsuited to our climate.
There is a general agreement on rows
about three and half feet apart, with
hills twelve inches apart in the rows and
seed cut to one or two eyes In hill,
while at the same time occasional trials
with whole seed have yielded larger
crops Cutting the seed, however, re-
quires a much less amount, and so long
as it proves satisfactory will doubtless
continue in a ma jority of cases. 1t is of
no use to plant potatoes on wet, heavy,
sour soils; the ground should be not too
rich, but clean, warm, dry and mellow,
and be we'll fertilized either with we'll
rOtted barnyard manure, which is prefer
able to the same IN its green state, the
latter often causing scabby tubers, and
when this manure is not plentiful those
made by reliable fertilizer companies are
by many preferred to the domestic ar
ticle. Another quite good plan is to
spread the barnyard manure broadcast
and pillow it under, and at planting drill
the commercial kind moderately in the
rows, a method quite often followed IN
Nova Scotia, where potatoes are largely
raised for expectation, and by which the
tubers get the advantages to be derived
from both kinds Of fertilizers, first, from
the concentrated, and later from the nat
ural one, moderate application of both
being deemed better than to rely wholly
on one

many horses are kept, he can afford to
raise rye, not so much for the gram, but
for the straw, which is the most protlta-
bic part of the crop. Where there are
many horses, there is a good demand for
carrots. Watch the markets, and see if
there is any crop brought from distance

A LOVE STORY.

We leave the wintry woods and stand
Beside the old gray wall;
''Good-by," he saws, and clasps my hand
And leaves me-this Is all.
To him a walk meath cloudy skies,
The careless mirth OF friends;
To me, glimpse of paradise
That all too surely ends.
Why need /, standing in my room,
Recall his parting words!
Why dream of flowers and summer bloom,
And minstrelsy of birds:
know that not thought of me
Shall fill his heart tonight,
Yet, as the moonbeams on the sea,
Ger me he casts light.
His are the sunny ways of life,
The blossom and the vine;
The thorn, the struggle and the strife,
The aching heart are mine;
In his happy grace and ease,
A welcome freshness dwells,
That bids me dream of highland breeze,
Across the heather bells.
1 build my castle but on sand,
know it soon will fall:
a gay good-by, clasping hand,
A smile-and this is all.
A winter sunbeam faint and pale
That bends the snow to kiss;
A winter blossom, small and frail-
My hope is only this!

TRUE ECONOMY.

True national economy consists in
purchasing nothing foreign where au
equivalent of domestic manufacture
can be obtained, without,regard to diff
ference of price.-TSan Francisco
Chronicle.
If this proposition be true, how many
people can he found in the United
States who practice "true national econ
omy"p Where can you fnd a laboring
man, or any one else, who will pay q
dollar for an article of American manu.
facture when he can purchase the same
article next door for fifty cents, even
though it be of foreign manufacturer
Pursuing the same line of reasoning
adopted by the Chroicle, no man should
employ foreigner when an American
can be obtained, without regard to
difference of price" II this policy
should be adopted it would solve the
Chinese problem at once, and the al
mond-eyed heather would be obliged to
emigrate or sturve to death. EN- 10y
americans and purchase American
manufactures, without regard to differ
ence of price. Let the Railroads and
other industries inaugurate the good
work by discharging their Chinese en-
Ployes, and perhaps others may be in

Among the p1any silly propo ,tior 8
