Boys and Cigarettes.

The Philadelphia Times makes vigor-
Gus assault on cigarettes, and teAs tho
boys WHO indulge in them: ''rhe cheap
cigarette is a modern invention, and pc
culiarly vicious one. Twenty years ago
when the cigarettes all came from Cuba,
and were wrapped in rice paper, smoking
them did no great harm. Moreover, being
made of Honradez, or some brand of
equally strong tobacco, only a boy OF stout
stomach could smoke more than two or
three of them at time. But to meet the
bOyish demand cigarettes are sold nowa
days both cheap and weak. They are made
of mild, often bad, tobacco, and for the
most part they are wrapped in ordinary
white paper. Rice-paper wrappings neces-
sarily increase the cost, and the boy who
wishes to prove by the ordeal of smoke that
ne is not boy but man, much prefers
the article that he can get the nioss of
for his money. Moreover, the 10Y does
not know the difference apparent to the
sight between rice-paper and ordinary pa
per, any more than he knows that, while
rice-paper burns away with scarcely any
smoke at all, common paper burns with
foul smoke that cuts Ike saw into the
chest and throat. So he spends his pocket
money on cheap cigarettes, and makes
everybody around him uncomfortable, while
he smokes himself away into an untimely
grave.

Training Tomatoes.

All lovers of this delicious fruit do not
know how to grow them successfully.
When the plants are ready for the garden,
make considerable hill of good compost.
Chip manure is excellent, and quantity
of chicken manure is good. After the hill
is made, drive long stake through it.
The training will require attention. The
plant will Immediately begin to sucker, or
throw side shoots, just above each leaf
These must be cut off, and then the plant
will run up vigorously. Tie it to the stake
and do not be afraid to use knife Keep
on cutting each stem that appears in tho
axil of leaf, and keep on tieing. Tho
first bearing branches come directly from
training must be continued us long as the
plant bears. Thus trained, the fruit is SUI
perior in size, quantity, and flavor, besides
being less liable to rot or drop o1.-Coun-
try Gentleman.

The Horse.

The Horses Eye.-Examine the eye frs.
when the horse stands with his head to II
manger. Look carefully at the pupil q
the eye in the horse it is of an obion
form. Carry the size of the pupil in yo,
mind, then turn the horse about, bring lii
to bright light, and if the pupil of theos
contracts and appears much smaller tia
il was in the darker light, then you ma
lie sure the horse has strong, good cy,
Lut provided the pupil remains nearly H.
same size as it appeared in the darker lighl
the horse has weak eye, therefore hav,
nothing to do with him.
EGects Of the Epizocty.-The disease
known as the epizooty is an inflammation oil
the lining membrane of the air passages,
accompanied by fever and swelling of the
throat 1t often leaves those membranes
thickened, by which the breathing is rem.
dered difficult, especially when it is accele-
rated by work or exercise. The remedy is
to feed only dry oats and timothy hay and
no clover, and give half an ounce of gentian
root powdered, and half dram of iodide
of potassium every morning for two or
three weeks.

About NutmegS.

Nutmegs grow on trees which look
ike pear trees, and are generally over
twenty feet high. The flowers are very
much like those of the lilIYof the valley.
They are pale yellow and very fragrant.
The nutmeg is the seed of the fruit, and
she mace is the thin covering over the
seed. The fruit is about as large as a
peach. When ripe it breaks open and
shows the little nut inside. The trees
grow on the islands of ASIA and in trop-
ic:il America. They bear fruit for sew
enty or eighty years, having ripe fruit at
all seasons. A fire tree in Jamaca has
over thousand nutmegs on it yearly.
The Dutch used TO lave all the nutmeg
trade, as they owned the Banda Islands,
and conquered all other traders, and. de-
stroyed the trees. To keep the price up,
they once burned three piles of nutmegs,
each of which YVES as large as church.
Nature did not sympathize with such
meanness. The nutmeg pigeon, found
il, all Indian islands, did for the world
What the Dutch Ind determined should
not be done, carried those nuts, which
are her food, into all surrounding coun-
tries, trees grew, and again the world
has the benefit

Er,b,ns va Editor.

Soon after the completion of the plank
road between Detroit and Lansing, n pc
ricI OF twenty-seven or twcnty-eight years
o, the editor of newspaper located
spout half way between started for Detroit,
one evening, on the wagon of a teanister
After travelling about an hour, the vehicle
was stopped by highway-robber. The
5eamster shelled out about twenty dollars,
but when the editor showed up, the pot
,nly reached fifty cents.
you've hidden your money fin your
,ootsr' shouted the robber, and he made
the editor pull them Off, No more cash be-
ing found, the robber insisted that coat
and vest should come off for a closesearch ::
but at the end of the search he angrily
demanded:
"What sort of a man are you to set out
on q journey with only fifty cents in your
pocket?'

The robber presently moved off into the
woods, and as the vehicle once more rolled
,vcr the plank road, the editor rubbed his
hands together and chuckled:

The past two years have clearly
demonstrated the fact that eastern
Colorado has many advantages ever
Central and western Kansas as an
agricultural country. Here the eli
mate in winter is several degrees
warmer and the storms not so severe
or sting as on the plains further to
tie east. During the present winter
while the whole northwest was being
visited with the sevcrest storms, or
blIzzards, within the recollection of
the oldest inhabitants, the weather
here was no worse than the ordinary
winter of central and western Kan
sas. We are also protected in the
summer against the hot winds that
are so Obstructive to growing crops
and SO much dreaded by the settlers
on the prairies of Kansas. The alb
sence here of daily winds during the
summer months was noticed and
commented upon by almost every
land seeker who came here from Kan
sas to look up more favorable local
lty. The nights are also no cooler
here than in Wichita, Kansas. We
also receive numerous refreshing
mountain showers during the grow
ing season, Which exhaust themselves
before they travel many miles to the
east. These showers which are al
most wholly wanted 100 miles east
of here are of incalcuable value to
farmers as they assure him each sea-
son bountiful harvest. We might
mention many other advantages, but
will only say, come and see for your
selves-seeing is believing and we
will show you the finest soil, the best
water and the most desirable climate
on earth. --Ex.

Lima Bean Culture.

Plant the last week in April or rs early
in May as the season will admit. Make the
soil strong and rich. A good deep, fertile
loan is best. The best paying way is to
make the rows north to south five feet
apart, and from east to west three feet apart
Between the wide rows plant the earliest
maturing sorts of potatoes. After the po-
tatoes mature, turnips can be sown, or il
preferred, fodder-corn in rows. Ii poles
are used for the beans to climb upon they
should be at least nine feet in length, and
set firmly in.the hill to a depth Of fifteen
TO eighteen inches before the beans are
planted. Many plant four by four-feet and
keep the vines pincled back to three feet
in height and use four-foot laths for stakes.
In planting place the eye downward and
the narrow end the lowest, as the bean al
ways rises from the ground i'll that posi-
ton, and if not planted right it has to turn
itself over in the soil, ard if prevented by
reason of q cicd from doing SO is sure to
rot. A quart wlil plant about one hundred
and fifty hills, if planted four by four feet.
A little over twenty quarts Will be needed
to plant an acre. Put four seeds in hill,
as it frequently happens that not a single
nlant will be left; it is therefore good
plan to have so:-se additional plants
handy that can be Itted with the spade
Wood ashes and bone-meal or superplios-
phate OF lime will supply the soil with the
most necessary elements for the bean crop,

phate, or very small handful of the frs

to one of bone-meai, viii be sufficient ::
