will you please give, us directions
for peanut culture?" The usual mode
of cultivation is to plant in drills three
feet apart, one nut in place twelve
inches apart. Keep clear of weeds, and
when the plants are in blossom the drills
should be bedded up SO as to make a
mellow surface for the young nuts to
strike in. When ripe the vines are
pulled and dried. without getting wet,
the nuts whipped off, cleaned up in a
common tanning mill and sacked foI
market. A light soil, not very sandy, is
best adapted to their growth.-C. K,

Cabbage After Early Potatoes.

To get good crop of cabbage after
early potatoes, it is only necessary to
have good strong plants to commence
with. To obtain such, SOW the seed in
drills, not less than one foot apart, and
thin1y in the row, the last week of May
or the first week in June. One ounce of
seed will produce 1900 plants, and if
properly cultivated on good soil will
produce the best plants in thirty days
or by July l. After digging, the potato
patch should be freshly plowed, and the
soil thoroughly pulverized. My plan is
then to open burrows four feet apart and
apply 500 pounds of some good fertilizer
per acre in these rows, covering with a
corn coverer, and set the plants three
feet apart on these ridges. Cover them
deeply, even if the leaves are partly
covered. Should the soil be dry OF dry
spell be likely to follow, tramp around
each plant after setting. 1t is best to
lift the plants with digging fork
rather than pull them from the seed
bed, especially if at all dry. Last year
sowed both Flat Dutch cabbage and
caulifiower seed on June l, had fine
plants to set out June 20, and had both
cabbage and caulifower ready for market

 The Head of Dr. UrbIna Displayed i'm
 the Plaza de Huanta.
 LIMA, March 12.-The campaign carried on by the followers of Senors Rosas and Bsr- mudez, the two candidates of the oonstitu- tioual party for the presidential nomination, has resulted in bloody collisions in some streets of Huanta; province of Ayacucho. 100 persons were killed, including senor Lazona, deputy of congress and head of the revolution, and Dr. Urbina, chief of the Rosas party. One account of the Huanta fight says:
 Dr. Urbina having seen Ave members of his family fall at his side during the eight hours of the combat, sought refuge with the remaining members at Matriz church. There he found number of women, children and old people. The priest exhorted the Indians to desist in the name of humanity from the horrible massacre, but when the Indians are drunk they are incapable of reasoning. As they drew near the church threatening to burn it Dr. Urbina, wishing to save the lives of the many innocent persons, resolved to sacrifice himself. Leaving the church. he addressed his enemies as follows: "I am Urbina, whom you are looking for. Kill mo if you like, but the persons in the church are not my accomplicss; do not injure them" Tho priest to whom he announced his de- termination gave him his bsnediction and accompanied him to tho door of the church, opening wicket and bidding him good bye, sobbing ss he did so. A few moments after | wards the head of Urbina was displayed in
 the Plaza de Huanta. The guerillos, in their drunken frenzy. not being satisfied with this
 murder, continued to slaughter the inhab-
 itants and to sack and burn tho town for mauy hours afterwards. Over 100 lives
 were sacrificed ts the old rancor existing be- tween the families of Lazon and Urbins.

 Poor. unfortunate Batrachian! In what a sad plight he must have been. And yet his misfortune was one that often befalls singers. Many GEce tuneful voice among those who belong to the "genus homo !" is utterly spoiled by "cold in the head, ,' or on the lungs, or both combined. For the above mentioned croak- CT" we are not aware that any remedy was ever devised; but we rejoice to know that all human singers may keep their heads clear and throats in tune by the timely use of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery, both of which are sold by druggists.
 Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy cures the worst cases of Catarrh in the Head, no matter of how long standing, while for all laryngeal, bronchial, throat and lung affections, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is posi- lively unequaled. It cures the worst finger; strength of those who have been reduced by wasting diseases; It is guaranteed to benefit or cure in all diseases for which it is recommended, if taken in time and given fair trial, or money paid for it refunded.

The firing was done over @ measured mile and the pro- jectiles, with a pressure of 700 pounds, are said to have gone in some instances third of mile beyond the required distance. Three different fuses were used the first being timed to explode the projectile in five and Q half seconds after striking the water, the next in one and @ half seconds and the last immedi- ately upon touching the water. The shock from the latter was felt in the city of Ches- ter, four miles distant. .+4a
 The explosion of each of the three loaded shells was followed by @ violent commotion in the water and those who witnessed the firing say that no vessel could withstand the force shown.

 ROCKVILLE CENTER, L. T., March 1S.-An explosion of dynamite occurred at forty min utss after nine o'clock this morning on the Powell farm, half mile east of Rockville Center, where . large number of Italians and other laborers were excavating and blowing up tree stumps on the line of the extension of tho Brooklyn aquednct.
 Ninety dynamite cartridges exploded from some cauae not yet explained and two labor- CTS near by, Tom Baldwin and Peter Staff ney, were instantly killed. Their bodies were blown to fragments. Two other men, Dallas Raynor and Charles Smith, were in- jured severely and perhaps fatally.
 The explosion was heard in the surround ing country for Q distance of ten miles and at first many believed that it was an esrth- quake. The shock created consternation in Rockville Center, where many houses were shaken and number of window panss were broken. Some buildings in Hempsted were also shaken
