AS Spring begins to show its work in
forest and field, tho wide-awake farmer Is
growing anxious and is fastening against
his Judgment, in some instances, to put
his seeds in the ground. It is we'll to be
on time but not too early, though an
instance of the necessity of early planting
was seen few days ago in cotton field.
Just ahead Of the plows preparing the
lant, for cotton seed were cotton pickers
gathering the last of the past seasons crop.
The owner is not tortoise farmer, nor
does he move at tortoise gait. The fault
is in the late maturing of the variety Of
cotton. Notwithstanding its late OPEN
ing, he p-efers to plant the Peterkin seed
on account of its fine yield and superior
fiber. His entire crop will again be of the
Peterkin seed this year. Judging from
his usual success in farming and general
prosperity, we may justly conclude that
his choice ofthe popular varieties of seed
has been well made.
Corn planting on upland is about fin
ished. Too early for bottom lands,
though continuance of these sunny days
will remove doubts and start the crop. A
very light crop of wheat is expected,
besides there was small quantity sown.
Oats are yet rather backward, being
chiefly of Spring sowing.
Nobody yet boasts of Spring vegetables.
Much garden work has been done, how
over, and in a few weeks our town will be
well fed, favored and scented with green
salad and onions.
There were two slight railroad accidents
the rast week. Both being with the
freight trains. A broken switch caused
the trucks of an engine ip one instance,
and three boxes in the other, to leave the
track. No damage done, save bruises sus-
tanned by colored brakeman who, in
committing an unintentional half sum-
mersault, lodged on his head, while he
very energetically and earnestly felt in the
air with his feet for more steady and
sgreeable resting place.

in Padua he met young Corsican who had
gone thither TO pursue his studies at the uni

was gifted with most extraordinary mem
Ory, so that he could retain and repeat as
many as $4,000 words, which would be read
over by him once only, Marcus and some
distinguished friends asked if he would allow
them to test the accuracy of what report had
stated. He willingly consented, and there
were read over an almost interminable list of
words strung together without any consecu-
tive meaning, in every variety of language,
even many OF them mere gibberish.
SO long was the list which was written
down in order TO give precision to the test
that the audience was fairly tired out, the
only fresh one being the young Corsican him
self, who stood all the time with his attention
deeply fixed and his eyes cast down upon the
ground. When it was time he looked up
eheerfully and repeated the whole uninterest-
ing catalogue of words without single fault.
Then, to show how carefully he retained
every word, he went through the list back
ward, then taking every alternate word,
first, third, fifth ETC., till he, tired out, had
perfectly satisfied Maretus that he was the
most extraordinary man he had met in
all his travels. The young man added that
be would be ready in a years time to repeat
the task.-Lewiston Journal.

An Exceptional Dude.

was rolling along over the desert region
somewhere on Dorchester avenue. All the
seats were occupied Among the passengers
was young lady, and in front of her stood
her escort, a slender youth and swell of the
most starchy sort Presently the car stopped
and an intoxicated mana big, burly indi
yidual-entered. He swung uneasily from
side to side for a few moments, and then
man who sat next to the young lady moved
along and left little space on the seat. The
drunkard made a lunge for the place and
came into an unpleasant contact with the
young lady
"Aw-aw-my dyah fellow" protested the
dude, you mustn't do that, you know"
The man, though quite intoxicated, was
not apparently in a fighting mood; be
grinned, got up and stood in the middle Of
the car; surging from side to side again.
Now and then he bumped against the dude
who repeated his protestation:
Jaw, my dyah fellow, you mustn't do thar
you knowln
But presently the drnnkard showed a dis
position to feel that he was being trampled
upon He reasserted his right to the frag
ment of seat and made another lunge for il,

"Aw-this man must be elected from the
cab, don't you know. He's inebwiated!"
The conductor declined to interfere The
plain fact undoubtedly was that he was
coward and dare not touch the drunkard.
The dudes face showed no sign of any emo
ton whatever; he leaned over took the
drunkard by the coat collar, stood him or
his feet, started him toward the door, opened
it with his disengaged hand, pushed the fell
low out, and calmly thrust him off on tn.
