rB- On Saturday night an acoid ent oe.
Cured to the up freight train about .
mile above here that was remarkable for
not doing moro damage. The front trucks
of.the car next to the cab broke loose in
some way, and it appears they ran along
under the car, one wheel running on the
cross ties in the middle Of the track
and the other on the end of the
cross ties. They ran in this way for
about half mile. The inside wheel Of tho
trucks must have broken at first for pieces
of it were scattered al along the track and
most Of the cross ties were broken in two.
When the train stopped the wheel attached
70 the axle WAS found semo distance from
the track. The coupling pin fortunately
held up that end Of the oar, ..or there is no
estimating the damage that would have been
done. As it was, the damage was only few
broken cross ties and . crooked track,
which WAS repaired without causing any
delay to trains following.

THE RAIN SPIRIT.

Sect The night without is very lonely,
Moon and stars and all their luminous train
have fed;
Darkness rules the earth, and darkness only;
Rain-drops fall like tears above the dead;
Yet in many voices
Comes sweet refrain,
The utterance of spirit sad but tender
The Spirit Of the Rain.
Weary seems the Spirit: his accents falling
Well might be the language grief and pain
employ:
Yet with voice of wailing he is ever calling
On the distant future for benisons of Joy;
Though its tones are mournful.
Sweet may be the strain;
Wondrous are his t!dings, though the tones
breathe sadness
The Spirit of the Rain.
sentle is his mission: through the brown earth
stealing,
Seeking there the tiny seeds that grow to per-
feet flowers:
70 their dreary prison the Spirit goes reveal
The glorious resurrection that comes WIZ
sun-fed hours
Bids them wait in patience
Summers royal reign:
of world TRANSPORTED, low the spirit VILE
The Spirit OF the Rain.
Drawn are all the curtains: close and warm
our dwelling;
From the glowing nreside no restless foot
steps roam:
For the Spirits accents to our caio hearts arc
telling
The secret of the freside, the wondrous
charm of home;
Liste-- &c the story
Gold upon the pane,
Fold like sweetest music by Heaven porn

THE AGE OF MARvEIS
Some of the Grand Things Accomplish
Within Fifty Years.

Some of the Grand Things Accomplished
Within Fifty Years.
In view OF the almost incredible
progress of the last two generations it
is not the best Judgment which pro-
nounces the post electric system of
transportation the dream of an inven-
tive maniac. There is a freshness
about the proposition that we shall yet
send letters across the continent be-
tween the dawns of successive days
that takes the average breath away,
and the suggestion that passengers are
to be rushed through space at the rate
of two hundred miles pei hour is apt
to alarm the apprehensive. But the
proposition is not beyond the limits of
possibility for all that. A few days
ago an experimental train upon a rail-
road in this State made run of ninety
odd miles in about sixty minutes, some
portion of the journey being at the rate
of nearly two miles per minute. If steam
can accomplish such marvellous results
as this, why may not that greater
power, electricity, eclipse this stu
pendous record? The truth is that we
live in a phenomenal age. All the
ancient faiths concerning the develop
ment of material things are being
rudely jostled by the pushing Shout
ders of science. 1t is no longer the
dream of visionary that we shall con-
verse with persons a thousand miles
away. Marked progress has been made
toward solving the problem of aerial
navigation, and although it is yet inn
possible to predict the ultimate OUT
come, it is not insanity to believe that
air-ships may yet run counter to the
winds. The turning of key illumi-
mates a populous city, and new explo-
sives shatter in an instant obstacles
which were deemed immovable. There
are improvements to the telegraph
which would have astounded Morse
had he lived to see them. Philadelphia

THE SWINE PLAGUE.
Effective Ways of Preventing the Appear.
ance of Hog Cholera.

Effective Ways of Preventing the Appear
ance of Hog Cholera.
To prevent cholera we must do one
Or two things, namely: First, render
the system of the hog capable of re-
sisting the germ; or, second, keep the
germ at proper distance. First. be
careful not to purchase hogs from an
infected district. If you purchase
from any region, be sure the cars used
for transportation have not been used
to carry infected swine 1t is safer to
insist that the car be disinfected before
used If the disease actually breaks
out in your herd remove all healthy
hogs at once to some higher and dryer
ground if possible. The writer recalls
a case where the healthy animals
were removed to an old lime kiln
Gas the most suitable place.,
which resulted in checking the
disease. 1t is better to remove the
healthy animals and leave the sick,
because the soil, litter. etc, become
infected and capable of transmitting
the disease When an animal dies,
burn it on the spot, don't remove it to
some other lot, or wait until your
neighbours dog eats part of the carcass
and carries the disease home to his
masters hogs. Be sure that the in-
fected hogs do not have a chance to
drink from any running water. If
they do. drinking further down

NOTES ON SUe-SOILING.

Claimed Effects of the Operation on Crops
and Climate.
The capacity of a mass of soil to
hold water depends on the number of
smaller pores in it, such as naturally
exist when it is kept we'll loosened up
by the implements of tillage. 1t is
therefore reasonable plea, recently
made by Mr.. Blake for sub-soil plow-
ing. as possible protection from
parched soils. hot dry winds and the
perishing of crops tor want of moist
ure. He claims that while the opera
ton is much less costly than deep
blowing, since it can be done by one
horse following in the furrow after the
surface pillow, and does not, as does
the deep blowing, often leave the sur
face of the field covered with barren
sub-soil. It is as effectual in increasing
the storage capacity of the soil for
water; and for the very reason that
much more water flows into the soil
instead of over it and away into the
nearest brook. doing no good to the
land on which it falls, the quantity
available for storage, as well as the
capacity for storage, is much greater;
and he hardly needed to remind us
that the roots of the plants will go
freely to greater depths in soil so
treated, where they will give more
lasting supply of water than if con-
fined by a hard and impenetrable SUBJ
soil to the uppermost three or four
inches. In case this subsoiling should
be adopted by common consent over a
1o,, 90 ~, lob h;,,l~
moreover. that from this wide-reach-
ing reservoir of water near the sur
face so much moisture would evaporate
into the atmosphere as to greatly tone
down the effect of hot, dry winds, so
apt to make sad havoc with crops in
some parts of the country, and, in fact,
to make such winds usually impossi-

the stream may take the disease.
Burn all loose litter and rubbish about
the infected pen. Do not allow per-
sons taking care of sick hogs to visit
the lot not infected. For a similar
reason the attendant of the well ami
mails should not visit the sick. Keep
animals of every sort out OF the in
fected place. After the disease has
run its course. we must try and re-
move all possibility of future out
breaks by thorough disinfec-
plishing the desired result
| will depend upon the nature of the
| surroundings If the infected ami
| mails have run at large. it would be
| well to pillow the lot and not use it for
two Or three years. If the sick have
been kept in small Enclosure. every
thing not of value should be burned.
ALI woodwork should be thoroughly
| whitewashed and the soil intimately
mixed with good dressing of lime.
Other disinfectants may be used, but
| lime is cheap, effective and readily OBJ
tainable- These suggestions. based
upon knowledge of the way diseases
| are transmitted, may seem to many to
be too .'fussy," but the man who most
thoroughly attends to such details will
| be most successful in preventing
| cholera. Even If he losses his entire
herd, he may know that he has prob
| ably saved his neighbours hogs. To
that extent he will be public bene-
factor.-Prof. Burleigh, in Farm and
Home
