THE Albuquerque Citizen says: One of the best u, es to plant in the arid re gions is the common locust. It makes a better growth without irrigation in New Mexico. Colorado, Wyoming, Utah Nevada than almost any other tree. Il 1t grows rapidly and the timber is valu- able and durable. In this section the locust is free from the borer, which in issts it in moister climates. In plant ing, it should be intermixed with the mulberry, the trees to be set out four by four feet apart.

 A whale-ship recently brought into this port an old barpoon marked with the name of the old whale-shIp Monte zuma. This harpoOn was taken from the body of a whale caught this seasen in the Arctic Ocean. The old Monte zuma hunted whales in the Atlantic, was superanuated long years ago, and her hull was one of the stone feet sunk ID Charleston harbor during the war. That whale either doubled Cape Horn or he found theinorthwest passage which Sir John Franklin sought in vain, and he must have carried that harpoon in his body for eighty years. It is a dis tinguished relic of the sea and of great rterest to all old whalemen.

ANailless Horseshoe.

A nailless horseshoe, which has been
undergoing severe tests in England dur
ng the past two years, with satisfactory
results, is as follows: The shoe is, at
tsched bya steel band, which passes be-
low the coronet from one extremity of
the heel to the other. The band is kept
in position by steel pillar which runs
from the center of the shoe up to the
center Of the hoof In addition there
are three stout studs, one in the center of
the shoe, and the others near the heel
and on each side of it. 1t can be put on
by any one who has once seen the pro-
cess, which takes about half the time re-
quired with the cold shoe system, which
latter is an improvement as regards time
on the ordinary process with nails. The
nailless shoe diminishes or puts an end
TO cutting, and is particularly suited to
brittle hools, or hoofs with sand lcracks.

LOGGING His Memory.

A clerg, naa1 in Iowa relates the fol-
lowing anecdote. which, as he says, ought
TO be hint to all couples about to be
married. A lady called upon him and
announced her name as Mrs. NJ. a
widow living in a distant part Of the
state. Her husband had been killed in
the civil war, and she had applied for a
pension. But it was necessary for her
10 proye her marriage. This she had not
been able to do, as her marriage eertifi-
cate was lost, and ali the witnesses ex-
eept the minister himself were dead.
She had come long distance to get
the ministers evidence, insisting upon it
that he was the person who had perform
ed the ceremony.
But | do not remember anything
about it, madam" ssid the minister, af
ter carefully listening TO the woman's
story. 81 have married hundreds Of
people in the last twenty yeare, end !
cannot recall your case at sIl.'
why, you must remember that even
ing. | wore travelling suit, and my hus-
band was tall man with black whis-
kers."
a have married great many tall men
with black whiskers."
"But don't you remember, we came in
while you were at supper, and you asked
us to walk in the parlor few minutes ?"
II don't remember it,"
Don't you recall how my husband
was very much embarrassed, and during
the ceremony knocked vase Off the
table near which we were standing? And
then he apologized in the middle of the
service, and we ali laughed about it AZ
terward"
Il don't remember even that. Other
things like it have happened since. Can't
you name something else ?"
Other little things were mentioned
and the clergyman hunted up all his old
letters and journals in hopes of discover
ing something that would recall the cere-
mony and enable him truthfully to iden-
tify the widow. But in vain.
Finally the lady, with some hesitation
and confusion, said: "There is one thing
that am sure you cannot have forgot
ten. My husband had driven over from
the next town. In bis absent-mindedness
he had left every cent of his money at
home
"Now, don't you remember that after
the ceremony he came up to you as if TO
hand you the regular fee, and then, in
stead of doing that, he stammered and
blushed, and finally asked you to lend
him five dollars with which TO pay his
hotel bill, promising to return the money
the next day. Surely you must remem.
Der that"
"Ah, yes, indeed, remember that very
we'll" exclaimed the minister. And he
could not help adding; 81 haven't seen
the money yet"
The widow received her pension short
ly afterward, and not long after that the
minister received ten dollar bill, with
the words: Payment for good mem
ory."- Youths Companion.

Spreading Manure in the Win
ter.

Manure made in the winter should
when it is possible, be spread as it is
made, on the land where it is to be used
1t is a fact that cannot be controverted,
and has been abundantly proved, both
by reason and practice, that manure is
never worth more than it is the day il IS
made. Nothing is added 10 it, but usual
ly much is lost from it by lapse of time.
Except on steeply-sIoping ground, the
manure is safe from all danger OF loss,
and it is put where it will do the most
good when it is spread on the land direct
from the stable. There is no more haul
ing Of 1t, and If it is raised upon all that
is dissolved from it goes into the soil,
just where it Is wanted. Hence it is a
convenience and an economy TO haul out
the manure and spread it as soon as a
wagon-load is gathered.
