that farmers do not give the sub

n tlnClnnat1 couple, named re-
spectively John Sweet and Millit
Honey, were married in that city
recently.
II has been demonstrated that
the straw from wheat crop can he
made to take the place Of hay if cut
and fed in connection with grain.
This should encourage farmers to
give more attention to the storage
Of the straw, and to keep it in n
clean, bright condition.
The farmer who uses brains as
well IA his muscles in his daily work
will succeed, if such thing is pOssi-
ble in these days Of low prices and
limited market. He should under
stand how to do everything on the
farm, and if he entrusts his work to
help this knowledge is especially
needful.
The community that raises good
draft or carriage horses will be found
prosperous and progressive. When
eight or ten good teams will bring
into n neighborhood from $1,000 to
1000 it helps everybody in it and
drives the wolf from the door.
Wherever good horses are prosperity
Ieigns.
1t is remarkable fact that
farmer who produces large or an-
usually profitable crop, or one that
has been unusually successful, you
will find that he commenced farm
ing with n small farm and only in
creased its size as his means in
creased and only as he could give
the same care and attention to the
additional acres that he formerly
gave to the original. Small farms,
~ rule, pay better than large ones.
The amount of money invested in
farm implements Is enormous. In
many cases II is not necessary for
the farmer To own SO many i'm ,)le-
but in still more, the farmer
Is to blame for the treatment of such
tools. Many an expensive imple-
ment, to buy which the farmer has
his farm or given his
note, is allowed to stand out in the
weather and may, perhaps, lie
broken up or ruined before il IL paid

The Great San Diego FIume.

It is claimed that the recently-com-
pleted San Diego fume is the most
stupendous ever constructed in the
world, being only little short of Sc
miles long. An idea of the gigantic
character Of the work may be obtained
from the fact that the amount of lum-
Der consumed was more than 5000, 900
feet, or, allowing the very consider
able yield of 1000 feet to each tree,
not less than 5000 trees were required.
In the course of the fume there are
some 315 trestles, the longest of these
being LOO feet in length, IS feet high
and containing 100000 feet of lumber.
Another trestle is of the same height
and 1000 feet long, the main timbers
used in both of these being 10x10 and
8xS, being put together on the ground
and raised to their position by horse
power. The number of tunnels in the
course of the hume is s, tae longest of
which is 2, 100 feet, the tunnels being
In size exc feet, with convex-shaped
roofing; each mile of the fume re-
quired an average of $4,000 feet OF

LIGHTHOUSE KEEPING.

A Life Full of Trouble ana Demanding
Patience and Courage.
The keepers of lighthouses situated
Upon rocks at some distance from the
mainland have not infrequently been
exposed to considerable privation,
when cut off by continuous bad weather
from all communication with the world;
but it may be doubted whether such
tale as that of the keepers of the Bog
skarew lighthouse has ever before
been told. This lighthouse is stu
ated in the Baltic, some forty miles
from the nearest land, and on February
IA the greater portion Of the building
was carried away by terrible gale.
and from that time for a period OF
more than nine weeks the two
men have been undergoing terrible
suffering. 1t is said that they have
been the whole time without water or
fuel-rneaning, of course, that the
stock Of water stored up for their use
was lost, and that they had to depend
entirely upon such rain and snow as
might fall. The cold in the Baltic is
very great; and an existence without
fire in a ruined lighthouse, exposed to
the fury of the northern gales, must
have been almost insupportable. Rain
can have fallen but seldom, although
they may frequently have had snow,
but this, as they had no means Of melt
ing it, can have been but Of little use
to them, for snow taken in the mouth
excites rather than quenches thirst
The detailed narrative of the nine
weeks spent in the ruined lighthouse
would rival the most exciting ad.
ventures of fiction. Standard.

THE POETIC AZORES.
Islands Famed for Their Great Beauty ant
Fertility,

The islands extend in an OBJ ique
liae from northwest to southeast, be-
tween the parallel of 81 degrees and
40 degrees north latitude, and between
25 degrees and 81 degrees west longi-
tude. Geographically they may be
divided into three groups; the first or
easterly group comprises St. Michael's
and St. Mary's; the second or central
group contains Terceira, Graciosa, St.
George, Pico and Fayal; while the
third or westerly group consists of the
lonely little islands of Flores and
Corvo. They are all very small
places; a very good walker might al
most go round the biggest of them
in day. Every inch of them, with
the exception of a curious little bit of
St. Mary's, has been fused and burned
and charred out of all resemblance to
any thing we have in this part of the
world save forge heap or a Stag hill.
Each little island presents a solid front
of hard, black lava against the rava-
ges of the great ocean which thunders
at the base of cliffs and precipices
hundreds of feet high. Even on the
stillest day the black rocks are edged
with an ever-moving fringe of white
surf. which leaps up against their OBJ
durate face or sullenly rolls in among
the caverns at their base. Marvelously
fertile, too. are these islands; almost
any thing will grow there if it can but
manage to get shelter from the vio-
lence of the winter winds. The hills
of pumice and cinders are green to
their very tops with cedar and juniper
and tree-heath; the lower lands and
less exposed places grow rich crops o
maize and grain. beans, tobacco, and
sweet potatoes; in every little glen may
be seen the bright green shield-shaped
leaves Of "enhamo," together with
enormous pendent fronds, six and eight
feet long, of the Woodwardia fern,
springing from a carpet ankle deep of
the densest and greenest lycopodium.
The lava walls which line the roads
and mark off the fields are green and
gray with moss and lichen. Here and
there are broad banana leaves, and the
crumpled leaves of ''njspera" peer
above waving rows OF cane stalks. The
islands are rich in all manner of kind
ly fruits. The vine and fig tree strag.
gle in all directions over the stony
sides of Pico; there are pumpkins and
pine apples, passion flower fruit and
pomegranates; the peaches are as
plentiful as the blackberries, and
oranges and apricots are to be had for
the asking.
