An III Wind.

While bee-keepers at the North are agitating for legislation against the spraying of fruit trees with arsenites during the blossoming season as pro- tection against fruit-injuring insects, sportsmen at the South appear to have an equally valid cause for legislation against the use of paris green by cotton planters for the destruction of the cotton worm. Complaints come from many quarters that the liberal use of this arsenite has been playing havoc with the game birds, which fed upon the poisoned worms, of which they are very fond. Partridges and prairie chickens, which were very numerous in many regions, have, it is said, been nearly all destroyed. Whole flocks having been found dead in many places. There is danger that unless the worms are saved from the poison the sportsman's occu- patton will soon be gone in wide areas. Just as it's an ill wind that blows mo- body good, it's g good wind tbat blows nobody i!l,

MANAGEMENT OF MEN.

How Great Leaders Control Those Who
 Come in Contact with Them.
 When Alexander Pope wrote ''The proper study of mankind is man," he gave expression to far-reaching truth, illustrated every day. To understand man in his various moods, to be able to control and guide him, is to be king among men. Self-control is the first fruit of study rightly carried on, and then follows the control of others-not as an eXacting master, but as guide and friend. The leaders in business, in polt- tics, in war, the men who attain emi- nence in the active affairs in which large numbers are associated, although they may not have set out to make a study of man, and may, in fact, be un- conscious of their attainmentS, have nevertheless acquired a knowledge of themselves, which gives them self-con- trOl, and a knowledge of the moods, inn pulses and weaknesses or others that enables them to take control as leaders. Such power is not necessarily associated with high degree of culture in other directions, nor, on the other hand, does the possession of general intelligence necessarily include this power. The contrary is very frequently the case, literary culture arising from a close study of books, depriv- tiOn which is essential to a knowledge of their dispositions, emotions and pas sions. Even the books that hold the mirror up to nature" present but a partial and imperfect view of man. The true studentmuStgO to nature herself for instruction. Itis this circumstance that sometimes gives rise to wonderment at the success of this man or the failure of that by those who fail to consider the great value of study of man to those who would be guides or leaders, or who are called upon to manage large bodies of men. He who learns by study, Ob- ServatiOn or experience when to humOr, when to command, and how to play upon the hopes, ambitions, cupidity or fears of others so as to get them to do his bid ding, has mastered the greatest of all instruments, besides which the playing upon pipe is indeed simple. There are men of this kind who, having special aptitude for command, soon learn, un- consciously, it may be, how to lead, guide or drive others. They come to the front in war, in politics and in busi- ness life, and succeed oftentimes in spite of defects in their scholastic training, while their better educated rivals, lack ing knowledge of men, fail altogether, or, if they rise above the ranks, gain only subordinate places. Until within recent years there have been scarcely any attempts to make man school study; nor is it to be expected that the study as now carried on will take the place of experience in raising mp man. agers of men. Yet it is worth while for these who find themselves deficient in

SOME LARGE THINGS.
A Potato Weighing Fiftv-Five Ounces
 and Other CuriOSities.

A Potato Weighing FiftY-Five Ounces, and Other Curiosities. J. c. Jones, of Albany, N. Y., has raised potato of the Burbank seeding variety weighing 5 ounces-nearly three pounds and a half. The tuber measures 173I inches one way and 1119 the other.
 It might not be inappropriate to men, tiOn the sweet potato raised by James Smith, of Oquawka, H., in 1886. This luscious product of the vine weighed 22% pounds and was IS inches in diame- ter the small way.
 The Bodwell Granite Company, of Vinalhaven, Me-, have quarried what is believed to be the largest single piece of stone ever detached through human agency. This monster obelisk is 115 feet long, 10 feet square at the base, tapering to feet square at what one would naturally call the apex, and weighs $50 tons.
 The largest Krupp guns weigh 119 tons. They are 46 feet long, have a caliber of 15% inches, and fire shot weighing 2,314 pounds, with a muzzle NClOCIIN Ol .OUU leeG. At d u1SGdDC6 Ol one mile the ball would penetrate piece of solid wrought-iron to a depth of 2S inches. At distance of three miles it's striking average is still 2S, OOO- foot tons.
 An American engineer, who has made the subject special study on the spot, has calculated that the Chinese wall contains IS, 1000, 900 cubic meters (about 6,35O, OOO, 900 cubic feet) of stone. The material used in the construction of this stupendous work would be sufficient to build wall around the globe feet high, feet thick at the bottom and feet at the top.
 The most powerful engine in the world is used at the zinc mines at Freidens- vile, Pa. It is fed by 16 boilers, which give it a 5,000-horse-power. If it be- comes necessary, the number of boilers may be doubled, which would give the iron monster power equal to 10000 horses. This gigantic engine is used for pumping water from the mines. Each revolution of the wheel raises IT, 800 gallons of water. The fy-wheels are 37 feet in diameter and weigh 40 tons each. Every day the engine works it consumes 2S tons of coal.-St. Louis Republic.

Cutting Off the Combs.

It has long been a practice among game breeders to cut off the combs and wattles of themales. It is not believed to be cruel process, but of that we are not so sure, as the removal of any DOT tion of the body is attended with pain to a certain extent. Leghorn breeders are considering the advisability of cutting off the combs in order to avoid the effects of the frost in winter, which cuts off the combs slowly and painfully. The one is done quickly and the othar is slow tort ure. It is not safe to cut off the combs and wattles of old birds, as they bleed very profusely. Young birds (males and females) may be dubbed" when four months old, or as soon as the comb is well developed. Use a sharp shears or razor. A very sharp knife will an swer. Cut off the wattles first and then the comb, and bathe the parts with cold alum water. The solution of alum should be as strong as possible, and the parts well saturated with it. Our advice is not to cut at all if it can be avoided, and subject the largo comb breeds only to the process.-Farm and Preside.

AN. INTELLIGENT MULE.

He Voted and Excused the Pedagogue from
 Work on the Road.
 An eX-school teacher tells story which is ''the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.' The At lanta Constitution endeavors to give the details of how the mule voted as near in his own language as possible:
 'It was customary" said he, flor the teachers in the district to be excused from road duty by vote of the hands present. Some of the boys in the neigh borhood concluded that they would like to see me swing a pick and throw dirt with a shovel. On the morning in ques- tiOn, one of the hands who had beer Subp9ned was away on a frOlic, and had permission to send his mule as a substitute. The boss called the boys together, and asked them to vote on my case, as to whether or not to excuse me.
 ''Well, the vote was taken and it was tie.
 ''One of my friends made the point that the mule was a substitute for a hand, and therefore had the right of suffrage. The boss decided that it had, and had all the boys to form line in the middle of the road, with the mule in the gang. Then he proclaimed:
 "'All that are in favor of excusing the teacher will step off to the right of the road, and all opposed to the left"
 ''Well, to the chagrin of the boys that wanted me to work, the mule took to the right. The vote then stood one in my fayor'"

MUNICIPAL DISTRESS.

It Is Due to the Selfishness of the SO-
 Called "Better Classes"
 The race for wealth is often run at the cost of a neglect of the public in interests which it is the duty of citizens busy with their personal affairs that they have no time for those of the com munity. These, therefore. must either be wholly neglected, or they must go into the hands of those who take them up and work them with no end in view but that of selfish agrandizement. The vail that comes up from cities and towns over mismanagement, debt, dis order, etc., is an effect produced usually by the same culpable cause. Good citi- zenS, men of character and ability, do not care to be bothered with these matters that involve so much trouble, and that especially call them off from their regu- lar pursuits. They, therefore, go into the hands of those who have neither character nor ability. Property owners permit men without property-who probably are without ability to accumu- late or hold tito become guardians of all the interests which make their busi- ness safe or profitable. The result is mismanagement and corruption, the public and private loss that go with them, and then the complaint and hasty spasm at reformation that can not be effected. This is the history of nearly all the municipal distress tnatso plaguesIdisgusted citizens. United Pres, byterian,

NEW NcTEs OF INTEREST.

THE girls of Alaska arc ready for so- ciety as soon as they reach their teens.
 Ar least ten of the large cities of the country arc going to hold chrysanthe- mum exhibitions.
 A STRINGENT anti-saloOn law has gone into effect in St. Louis. It prohibits chairs, tables, cards, dice, music and musical instruments in all saloons.
 LARGE deposits of excellent hard coal have recently been discovered in Alaska and on some of the coast islands. The quantity is believed to be practically in- exhaustible.
 THE new jury law in New York City has already netted nearly $1OO, 900 for the treasury. There are no allowances made nowadays; if the juryman does not present himself he is fined $25O, and it is remorselessly collected at once.
 A NEW invention is the ''waterphone. :" This is an instrument shaped like an ordinary iron rod, which, when placed on a stopcoclk, will convey the sound to the ear in case the water is running. In this way it can be determined whether or not the water is shut off in house without entering the house.
 THERE is reason to believe that an archy is on the wane, as seems to be shown by the fact that the memorial celebration in Chicago in honor of the execution of the bomb-throwers was a tame affair. There was, with one ex- ception, no display of red flags, and the number attending the services in Wald- helm Cemetery had fallen off from 5000 last year to 2,0OO on a recent Sunday, and many in this crowd were simply curious spectators.
 MAN of letters, who went West this summer to study the features of com munity and isolated life presented be- tween New York and San Francisco and up and down the California coast, was gone for three months, but in that time did not once have to unwrap his bundle of umbrellas, nor put on rubbers or nackintosh. He had his family with him and, out of regard for their com fort, did not travel single mile by night. He says that for pure comfort this is the best way.
 SAYS a prominent New England cler- gyman wEo has been visiting in the West: ''In the West find more wealth, more generosity, more enthusiasm and aggresSiveneSS in church work, and, be- Geve me, more genuine culture than in the East. But do miss historic back ground. l miss the old. I miss, on the banks of the Mississippi, what one miss es who comes from Old England to New England-a good deep stratum of his tory. There is too much nature for hu- manity or too little humanity for nature"
 A wRITEE in the Syracuse (N. Y.) Journal, who went to the bottom of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado last winter, says: ''I have been all through the Rockies from Montana to Central Amor ica and know what chasm is, but the sight of that abyss took my breath away. From the top to the bottom it is fully six thousand feet. Over mile be- low you can see the river tearing through the gorge, but not a sound can be heard, it is so far away. From one bank to the other it is apparently not over a quarter of mile, but as matter of fact it is fully nineteen miles.

hogs are to be scraped. The bottom of the notch or fork should be about six feet from the ground. In this must lie long, heavy pole, notched to keep it from slipping where it lies on the post, four feet from it's largest end. At the butt cut deep chip to catch and hold the gambrel. All this is quickly done, and often answers as we'll as windlass, for the heaviest hog can be hung up with ease by raising the long end and slip ping the short, notched end under the gambrel stick. Where more than one hog is to be raised more levers will have to be provided, unless the pork can be lowered on to stationary pole, as the pork must remain suspended awhile to cool

Its Development Outlined by Deaf Mute
 Missionary Mann.
 The sign language has found it's great est development in connection with the intellectual and religious advancement of deaf mutes, in which it's efficacy has been abundantly proven. It is un- cqualed as a defner of words, since ii is pictorial language. The motions of the hands and fingers flash ideas upon the minds of deaf mutes with great clearness. They help them to the acqui- sitiOn of another means of expression written language-which is the real ob- ject of their being sent to school. The impression on many minds is that they are sent there solely to learn the sign language. The sigh lan- gauge is also unequaled as a means of conducting public worship for deaf muteS. It is far more distinct to the eyes than the motions of the lips, which are really another form of the sign language. In lip reading it is inn possible to catch every word of rapid discourse, so that the words must be framed slowly on the lips. A discourse in this fashion is tedious, lifeless, un- profitable. The minds of the silens congregation are not stirred. In very decided contrast is the presenta- tion of the same Gospel truths by the distinct and graceful gestures of a mas- ter. They are to deaf muteS what pleas ing speech and sounds are to their hear ing brethern. Deafness is more com mon than is generally supposed. One in every three grown persons has his hearing more or less impaired. By the deaf" as a class, are usually meant Cnly those who can not hear the voice, and who, having been thus disabled from birth or childhood, can not attend ordinary schools and must be taught by some special method. There are nearly 4O,00O such people in the United States. They are commonly all called deaf mutes, but this name properly applies to those only who can not speak In nearly every instance however, especially if the hearing is lost in childhood. or the person afflicted has been disabled from birth, the speech rarely remains with them. Being Oblivious of what is being said to them, except in the sign lan- gIage, they naturally contract the habit of using the same method to reply, and sc very seldom make use of speech that it becomes lost to them.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

MANURE.
The Best Methods of Making, Saving and
 Applying It.

| The Best Methods of Making, Saving and Applying It.
 It is an all-important point in the saving of manure, says the Ohio Farmer, to use enough bedding to absorb all of | the liquid manure, for there is where | the greatest waste of manure occurs. The solid manure is nearly always saved, but large part of the liquid manure is allowed to go to waste, and often be- cause the value of it is not properly understood. Of late there has been so much written and said on the subject that almost every intelligent farmer 1 understands it's value. Twas more fully impressed with it's value when I took up an old stable floor a few years ago. There were two or three loads of worn out straw, chaff and dried manure, all of it so dry and light it was difficult to load on account of the wind blowing it away; to all appearance it was not worth much more than so much chaff We were top-dressing wheat with stable manure at the time. We spread this manure on the same field, but not near as thick, and the wheat thus manured hdo o1lnOoU Uh4OO do uCdhOs dl1u OllC grass where itwas applied always lodged as long as it was in meadow. Since then have doubled my efforts in trying to save all the liquid manure.
 think straw and chaff a little the incest for bedding, when it can be had, as they are drier and generally more convenient; but leaves, muck, sawdust and ch wi ,ryi11 4ho pose. Yards where stock is allowed to run should be as small as possible, not to crowd the stock too much, and then the manure will not be washed so much by the rain and will be easier to gather. Where stock is allowed to run to stack in the yard, the litter around the stack should be kept spread over the yard and kept as near level as possible, and if any thing, have the lowest spot in the center. I think it good plan to allow hogs to run in the yard, as they will keep it from getting tramped so hard, and the straw will rot faster.
 It will surprise those who have never tried this plan to see the amount of straw that can be worked into manure III GulS COuu6CGlOu SuOulQ llk6 to call the attention of farmers who keep sheep to the importance of keeping them well bedded with clean straw. I am quite sure that the benefit from the manure can be nearly doubled and the only trouble will be to keep the stables cleaned often, so as not to let the ma- nure ferment, as it would be unhealthy for the sheep. The common practice is to let sheep run without any bedding at all and never clean the stables until they want to use the manure; then they have to use pickaxe or spade to dig the manure up, and it comes out in great chunks, difficult to spread evenly. If they were kept bedded and the stables cleaned, the manure would be as easy to spread as other manure, and there would be double the amount of it.
 It is a good plan to have the stable floors as nearly water-tight as possible, in order to keep the liquid part of the manure where it can be absorbed by the bedding or dipped up and turned over the pile.

this respect to formally begin the study in their own person as in that of others. Self-study is always useful, for 1t de- velops unexpected weaknesses that may be corrected if there is a disposition to improve, and it at least gives sugges- tions as to the weaknesses Of others, through which they may be controlled or managed. When Hamlet, having vain ly importuned Guildenstein to play upon the pipe, throws it upon the floor, he ex- claims: ''Why, look you now, how un- worthy a thing you make of me. You would play upon me; you would seem to know my stops; you would pluck out the heart of my mystery you would sound me from my lowest note to the top of my com pass and there is much music, excellent voice in this little organ, yet can not you make it." In that passage a strong figure of speech is presented, illustrat- ing what may be done by those who have made proper study of mankind. They can play upon humanity as skillfully as the musician plays upon the pipe. Guil- denstein lacked knowledge more than Hamlet lacked advancement, but there were doubtless others even in that day who could have sounded Hamlet from his lowest note to the top of his com pass, and have guided and controlled him. At all events, the ruder instru- ments represented by common men may be played upon, and it is those who have made the study recommended by Pope who do play upon them, and become leaders among men. It is study that all can undertakes; the subjects are in numerable, and the guide-book to them all is ever present in the students own parcOn -Ra 1timOrc Suu

Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
 Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that these diseases are contagious, or that they are due to the presence of living parasites in the lining membrane of the nose and eustachian tubes. Microscopic research, however, has proved this to be a fact, and the result of this discovery is that a simple remedy has been formulsted whereby Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness are permanently cured in from one to three simple applications made at home by the patient once in two weeks.
 N. B.-This treatment is not snuff or an ointment; both have been discarded by reputable physicians as injurious.
