THE most comicaI mishap that ever
befeII fire engine occurred recently
at Toledo. The noise of an approach
ing fire apparatus startled 65-year-
old countryman and his wife as they
were making their way along the side
walk. To grab his wife's green UNI
brelIa and rush into the middle of the
street directly in the path of the on
coming steeds was the work of q mo-
ment for the excited farmer. His gyra-
lions and shouting brought the horses
to a sudden stop. The fire Iaddies
drove off swearing, but the crowd
cheered the old fellow as he returned
to the sidewalk, muttering; "Tarna-
ton fools, let 'em run away if they
want to. I'll never risk my life to
save their necks again"

A CABLEGRAL announces the death
of the Duke of Montezuma, de,
scended from the Emperor of Mexico
of that name" It will be news ia
many people that the name has been
preserved, as it ceased to exist in
Mexican history after Montezuma was
killed by his own people when he sur
rendered to Cortez, and bowed his
head in grief and shame. And yet
Montezuma had children. and offered
his daughter in marriage to Cortez.
So while we have confined the name
TO the early history of her sister repub-
lie. when history was almost tradition,
it is possible that it has been handed
down through nearly four hundred
years to be borne by very ordinary peO-
pie. Such is the fate of great names.

Profits OfOIive Culture.

Mrs Robinson thinks that barring the

ARIZONA NATURAL BRIDGE.
One OF the Greatest CurioSIties In
the United States.

Natural Bridge, on Pine Creek,
in the northern part of Gila county,
is one of the greatest natural curio-
sites in the United States, equaling
if notsurpassing the Natural Bridge
of Virginia. 1t spans the creek
at height of about 200 feet, and
the walls of the canyon rise about
it on either side 700 or 800 feet, and
on one side form perpendicular
precipice.
The bridge is Of lime formation,
and the inside of the great arch,
which is some 25O feet across, is
worn by the water as smoothe as
though chiseled by the skillful
hand of stonemason. The arch
on top is nearly, if not quite 400
feet in width, 1000 feet in length
across the canyon, and at the thin
nest part only six feet through.
About the center of the arch is a
hole large enough to admit the
body of a man, and through which
one can look down into the crystal
pool of water 200 feet below.
The dixie which forms the bridge
extends in sweeping curve up the
right side of the stream, and, to-
gether with the bridge proper, af-
fords a surface area of about 100
acres of fertile land, which David
Gowan has converted into a fine
farm. A spring issues from the
right side of the canyon at a height
to atmit the water being easily
conducted to any portion of the
farm, and the volume is great
enough to fill ditch four feet wide
and two feet deep, and to irrigate
much more land than is available
for cultivation.
The climate at the bridge is ex-
ceedingly equitable, being warmer
in the summer and much milder
in winter than that Of the surround

GRAFTENG SUGGESTIONS.

Scions should be cut before the
buds start and preserved by placing
the end in moist sand. The grating
be done when the buds are starting
on the stocks.
Peach Or almond roots can he used
to good advantages as base for prune
trees when the land on which they
are planted is light and dry, such as
these roots love best. For heavier
land and myrabolan (plum) root will
be better Almond orchards have been
planted in places unsuited to success
and have been grated to prunes with
an increased profit in the fruit. I'm
desirable fruits can be replaced with
better sorts.
There are several methods of graft
ing. When the stock and scion are
of the same size, or nearly so, the graft
is easily made by a sort of splice,
sloping off both stock and scion so
they fit nicely, then making split in
each one SO they can be locked to-
gether, taking care that the edges of
the cut bark on stock and scion COLI
eide as much as possible. In grating
larger tree, when the stock will he
large compared with the scion, cleft
grating should be resulted to.
One or two buds can be left on
scion, and we know of one man who,
in whiting the scion to wedge for
shape for insertion in the cleft, is
careful to leaye one bud so it will be
about even with the end of the stock
on the outside of the limb, and ano-
ther bud above. The cleft should be
held slightly open with small wedge
till the scions are inserted. A small
limb only requires one scion, large
one two, and still larger ones may
have two clefts and four scions.
In grating large trees it is best al
ways to leave some limbs growing, as
depriving a tree of its ton all at once
may injure it. Great success has been
had in grating the olive at the quito

A RAILROAD INDICATOR.

j. N. Winn, of Darien, Ca. has
invented what be calls railroad indi-
Gator. The method of it's working is
briefly in this way: In each coach of
a passenger train there is seen within
easy sight of every passenger an or
namented frame having a glass front.
AS train leaves station, Atlanta,
for instance, the engineer, by a simple
and ready motion of his hand,
sends an influence along the whole
train, and a gong sounds that arrests
the attention of every passenger,

next station, say Marietta. appears

The Profit Of the Lemon.

The County Reporter says that
tbcrs has been a good deal of figuring
done during the past two months on
the profits of lemon culture. Mr..
Frisbie of Sweetwater valley reports
that his lemon trees, at FIVE years of
age produced fifteen boxes of lemon to
tree. The crop sells at from $l.75
to 50 per box. Each tree, therefore
produces S26.25 worth of fruit annual
ly. The rule is to plant seventy trees
to the acre. At the above rate the
crop will be worth 81 l,S37.5O an acre.
Continuing the calculation at the same
rate, the 200 acres now being planted
will in FIVE years bring an annual in
come of 1861, 500.

FIG CULTURE.
tColusa SUM-

Amos Roberts who has been in
vestigating the fig business, is pre-
pairing to plant this season 20C
acres of the white Adriatic fig on
his place near Tulare. Mr.. Roberts
has some twenty-three acres near
Colusa that he will plant also il
he does not sell it to advantage be-
fore planting time. One man who
has an orchard of three acres, five
year sold, took off some $4,000 worth
of figs this year, and another made
$500 an acre on three year old
trees. The fig tree does not reach
its maximum product for twenty
years. 1t will take many years to
Overdo the fig business, and the
first into it will reap a rich harvest.
The fig does not require the amount
of water that other fruit does, and
it will grow on any of our plain
land. Of course it requires enough
moisture to make the tree grow
well. 1t will not stand too much
that is the fig will not dry, but will
sour and spoil when the roots
penetrate down to water. Hence
there is much of the irrigated coun-
try where the surface water raised
to near the top of the ground that
cannot be planted in the fig. In
Cnlne" lnnd ard climate are parti-
cular well adapted to the growth
Of the fig.
Rooted slips can be had for about
Il cents each. The two year old slip
trauspLanted viii die down to the
root, OuC the one year-oid Will not.
There is danger of frost the first year
and not afterwards, and hence the
young tree ought to be protected.
Another thing that makes the fig
very valuable is that is not bothered
with insect pests, Our vines and
other trees have been attacked with
disease, but our figs trees never.
Mr.. Tolman showed us a few
days ago small box of the White
Adriatic that he had simply dried
and packed in a box that were very
tlne-he had not even sulphured
them. He had only a few, as his
trees as young, and had but three
or four figs each.

Grape Cuttings.

We would make long cuttings, with
many eyes, and get vine strong and
we'll rooted in one year. And this
leads me to say that, in light soil, a
weak vine is of no use; vines should
be grown from long cuttings, or should
be two years old when planted in the
vineyard. In the more northern grape
producing regions 6-inch cuttings are
used, and in the fall are taken up.
the roots sheared and then buried or
kept in the celler until spring, when
they are grown another season, and
this makes the vine that we should
plant, as it has by this process an
abundance of roots.
Few realize the necessity Of deep
planting; it is indispensable. The hole
should be dug and Io0sened to two feet
IN depth and slope to one side, that Is.
one side deeper aud the plant laid
along the so.ing bottom. Let the
upper roots be covered four inches or
so, and the hole be filled up during
the summer.-Florida Agriculturist.
