scarcely ever mention the subject for

The First Cultivation of Corn.

1t is important while corn is small
that the earth be drawn away from rath-
er than towards the plant. If the seed
has been dropped in deep check made
by marker, and thus comes up be-
low the level surface of the field, almost
any stirring of the soil will throw some
dirt around the roots. The fair pre-
sumption is that they are deep enough
already. Corn loves warmth, and too
much soil over them keeps the roots too
cold. This is often one of the difficult
les i'll the first dragging of corn as it
comes up. The seed has been put in
hole SO that the drag will not tear out
the young plant. If left on the level
surface heavy drag will scarcely dis
turb hill, unless it is planted on a
loose sod which the drag can upturn.
In loose soil the drag teeth pass between
and around the corn plants, loosening
the soil, but not tearing up the grain.
Then when the cultivator is first set to
work, soil may be thrown away from the
plant into the centre of the row, and a
day OF two later thrown back again, but
without making hill around the plant.
The shovel plough, scooping out the
loose earth in the centre of the rows and
piling it around the stalks in ridge,
has never any place in the cornfeld,
Yet we have seen this implement used
exclusively by farmers from the begin
ming of corn cultivation. because they
could, with it, cover up weeds in and
around the hill with the corn.

A TROUT-STEALING BEAR.
She Meets Her Fate at the Hands OF
an Angry Fisherman.

COSTELLO, PENN.-A. Il. Barton of
this place went trout fishing few days
ago on Derrin's run, one of the tributa-
ries of the famous Sinnemahoning. He
camped along the creek at big spring.
He captured 2C0 fine trout the first day,
and at night placed them in the cold
water of the spring to keep them nice
and fresh. When Barton went out to
the spring next morning only dozen of
the smallest of his fish were there. There
was no way for them to get out of the
spring without help, and Barton sus-
pected that some fishermen who were
camped mile or so up the creek had
carried off his trout. He made up his
mind to watch the spring the next night,
believing that the thief or thieves would
pay it another visit. He placed his Sec
ond days catch in the spring, and when
night came, he wrapped himself up in
blanket and lay down near the spot be-
hind some bushes, to watch his fish, armed
with shotgun. He lay there fol an
hour without any thief making his APP
peaance, and was about dropping off to
sleep when he heard the noise of some
thing approaching the spring, He
grasped his gun and waited. In q few
seconds he was surprised to see, not o
thieving fellow fisherman approaching
to purloin the trophies Of his skill,
but the dark and ponderous form of
bear, accompanied by two cubs, stealing
toward the spring.
Barton is man of courage and some
thing of hunter, and he resolved to
bag all three of the bears. He waited
ont of curiosity to see if they were really
responsible for the loss of his trout. The
old bear went straight to the spring,
thrust her paw in the water and dipped
out trout, which she divided between
her cubs. That was all Barton cared to
see, and before the bear fished out
another trout he blazed away at her with
both barrels of his gun. They were
loaded with duckshot, Barton having
gone out prepared to shoot wood-duck,
which are plentiful along the creek He
was but a few feet away from the bear,
and the charges struck her with good
effect. She fell bowling to the ground,
while the cubs ran confusedly about,
whining like puppies. Barton rushed
up to where the bear lay butshe was not
dead and jumped to her feet, she at once
attacked him. He retreated to his tent,
the wounded bear following him closely.
Entering his tent, he found his axe, and
meeting the bear at the door, killed her
with two blows of the axe. The cubs he
captured alive, and has them now in
his yard. The old bear weighed 300
/ pounds.

Kindness Thrown Away.

The Council Bluffs street car company
has recently imported from the rural
districts about fifty cayuse plugs, whic,.
for some days the drivers have been try
ing to break in. The breaking in pro-
cess has not thus far been dazzling
success, mainly because the cayuses OBJ
lect to a life of servitude. Occasionally
an enterprising mule, for the sake OF
variety, turns about and tries to occupy
box seat with the driver, thus creating
a painful scene.
Yesterday afternoon q plucky little
mouse-colored mule attempted to play
the reverse act near the transfer. The
driver protested in his weak way, and q
shocking disturbance ensued. A gentle
man of clerical appearance, who had
viewed the alteration from a distance
and who had evidently studied works on
''conquering by kindness, drew near and
blandly asked the driver what was the
''mattah.'
The driver replied that the blanked
mule was so inconsiderate as to want to
ride in the car with him.
"You should not use such violent Ian
guage," said the clerical stranger severe-
~; II you Will allow me l will show
you what can be done by kindness.
'Kill the brute eff you wanter |" ex-
claimed the driver, stepping aside.
"Woe-ho-o-o-o," murmured the
clerical gentleman, soothingly, taking
the fiery cayuse by the bride.
The mule glared uncompromising de-
fiance at him. The clerical man moved
toward the dangerous part of the mules
anatomy to untangle the harness. The
mule concentrated his energies for the
supreme effort of his life. As the cleri-
cal man stopped the unrighteous brute
suddenly let drive with both hind feet,
catching the man who believed in con
quering by kindness on the head, little
above the ear.
When last seen the clerical man was
on his way uptown in search of sur
geon. He was observed to pause as a
car neared q switch, and when the driver
got out, blinded the mules, tied ropes
around their necks, and by main force
dragged them past the switch, the man
who once believed in kindness softly ap-
plauded. Omaha World.

The Pool of Bethesda.

A letter from James Glaisher, of the
Palestine Exploration Fund, to the Lon
don Times says: 1 have great pleasure
in communicating discovery recently
made in Jerusalem by Herr Conrad
Schick. 1t appears to be nothing less
than the "Pool called in the Hebrew
tongue Bethesda" (Bethsaida or Beth
zatha, st John ", 81. An apparently
uninterrupted chain Of evidence from
the years A. ID. 1873 to the year 1850
speaks of the Probatica Piscipa near
the Church of st. Anne. The place
spoken of is said by the earliest writer's
to have formerly had five porches, then
in ruins. Nothing was known of the
pool described by those writer's until
quite recently, when certain works car
ried on by the Algerian monks laid bare
large tank or cistern cut in tine rock to
depth of 80 feet 1t lies under, but
not Immediately under, a later building,
church with an apse at the east end.
The cistern is 55 feet long from east to
west; north and south it measures 123
feet in breadth. A flight of "a steps
leads down into the pool from the east
ern scarp of rock. Now, the first re-
quisite for the site of the pool of
Bethesda is that it should be possible to
have five porches. The only way in
which this requisite could be satisfied is
that the pool should be what is called
twin pool, such as that discovered close
to the Convent of the Sisters of Sion
that is to say, two pools lying side by
side, having one portico on each of the
four sides thus formed, and one between
them on the wall of separation. Herr
Schick now reports that he has found a
continuation Of the pool, or rather
sister pool, 60 feet long, and of the same
breadth as the first. We are, therefore,
able to make out reasonably strong
case for identifying the newly discover
ed twin pool with the Pool of Bethesda.
The historical evidence in favor of this
site as that which connects the Holy
Sepulchre with the site adopted by Con-
stantine. In the minds of most, 1 think,
it will be acknowled ged that we have
here the ancient Pool of Bethesda.

His Nerve Did Not Save Him.

Early last week young farmer,
Joseph Silva, while cutting hay in =
field near Centreville, encountered a
large rattlesnake, which he struck with
his scythe and stunned. Silva supposed
he had killed the reptile, and picked it
up by the tail to cut off the rattles.
Holding the snake almost at arms leng-
tn, he hacked at the cartilage connect
ing the rattle with the tail several times
without severing it. He then gripped
the snake by the body, and as the knife
penetrated it, as q last effort the VEN
omous creature doubled and struck him
on the little finger. burying its fangs deep
in the flesh. The boy shook the snake
off, and without an instant's hesitation
cut the finger off at the middle Joint
above the place where the reptiles teeth
had entered. Even then his nerve did
not desert him, and he made his way
homeward, a considerable distance.
Here he drank large quantity of whis-
key, and had his bleeding finger bandag-
ed.
He felt no i'll effects from the bite and
three days later his curiosity led him to
search for. the piece Of his finger which
he had left in the field. He found the
finger black with the poison it had
absorbed, and without consideration Of
the consequences, handled it. The virul-
emit poison came in contact with his
wound, and that night he died in ter
rible agony. - Portland 0regonian,
