HOW the Average Novel sails,

If novel by tolerabty we'll
known author sells 5000 copies nova
days it is doing remarkably well, and
oftener the publisher is satisfied if the
sale reaches 5000 copies. There are a
score of novels on the lists of leading
publishers today which could name,
of which there have not been more
than 1900 and 1000 copies sold, yet q
person not conversant with the facts
would easily place their sales at three
times that number. In the literary
world there is nothing so cruelty true
as the fact that all that glitters is not

the public estimate, successful writer's
who positions in the literary world

writers. Yet know in both of these
cases that their incomes from their
writings are not equal to that of the
most ordinary clerk in any prosperous

srARr1NG SEEDS M BONES.

Those who lack the facilities of
hot-bed or coId-fraIne may have early
plants by sowing their seeds in boxes
in the window. Long, narrow boxes
about three inches deep are the best.
Such boxes may be placed near the
glass, where the plants will enjoy the
light, and their shallow depth will al
low them to dry out freely.
Fill the boxes with fine, porous soil,
the surface-soil being sifted, and the
whole well firmed and made almost as
smooth and level as board by press
ing with planed surface. If the
seeds are very line, sow them in rows
over this smooth soil, and take great
care in watering to avoid roughing the
surface. Keep the soil moist, but
not wet, as too much moisture de-
stroys the germ of the seed. The
same care is also necessary after the
plants appear, to prevent them from
damping off.
If the plants begin to crowd each
other, remove portion to another
box. A pen-kuife can be used to pick
out the plants, if very small. Plants
thus removed become stronger and
better rooted than those left in the
box, for the cropping of the roots has
the same effect as pruning the tops
namely, an abundant growth of new
shoots. Many persons transplant al
their young plants to induce the growth
of an abundance of fibrous roots
and when this is done the plants
are transferred to their blooming quar-.
ters.
Light, heat, air and reasonable
-, degree of moisture are all essential L
young Seeding plants. These requi
sites being judiciously provided, any
one can succeed in starting plants from
seeds; aud, 10 have them early, few
boxes in the house will produce just al
good plants as the best hot-bed tina
can be constructed.-[Ladies' HON,

Astonishing Fecundity Of Cod Ash.

It is said that between &C, 900, 000, 900
and 100, 1000. 900, 900 coddshes arc taken
from the sea around the shores Of New
foundland every year. But even that
quantity seems small when we con
slider that a single cod yields something
like $500, 900 eggs each year, and that
over 5000, 900 eggs have been found in
the roe Of single cod. A herring Of six
or seven ounces in weight is provided
with 30,000,0 900 oya. After making all
reasonable allowances for the destruction
of eggs and Of the young, 1t has been
calculated, that in three years a single
pair of behring's would produce 154,000,-

behring's were left TO breed and multiply
undisturbed for period twenty years,
they would yield fish bulk equal to the

The Uynching of Gambler Hunt by
Soldiers at WalIa WaIIa.

Soldiers at Walla WalIa.
D. J. Hunt, the slayer of Private Miller,
who was lynched on recent evening by sol
diers from the garrison at Walla Walle,
Washington, was struck by sixteen bullets,
four of which entered his head. Early in the
evening Sheriff Mcfarland received intelli-
gence that an attempt would be made
to lynch }, Hunt, and, in company
Se repaired attorney Az ssys BsntGra
told Colonel Compton what they feared and
asked him to assist them. This he promised
to do by having check rolls called after taps
The Sheriff returned and engaged number
of extra guards, but all of them had not ar
rived when a crowd Of probably seventy
soldiers appeared and demanded that tbs
officers open the doors Of the jail. When this
demand was refused the soldiers began work
on the door with hammers and chsels Find
ing this slow work, they threatened to use
dynamite.
Further resistance being useless the doors
were opened and thirty or forty cooked re-
volvers were levelled at the heads of all in
side, while the keys to the cells were de-
manied. These were given them, and when
Hunts cell was shown them they quickly
took him out in the Court House yard and
shot him. Excitement was intense, AMI a
crowd of 1000 people surged about the street
in front OF the Jail until after midnight
Immediately after the shooting the SOL
diers went to their quarters, and 1t will be
difficult to identify those concerned in the
shooting, though only portion Of them
were masked. The soldiers actually took
charge of the town and would allow no one
to pass along the streets in the vicinity OF
the Jail. They compelled merchants to put
out lights.
Hunt, who was gambler, met Miller in n
saloon. The two began drinking and were
soon involved in quarrel Hunt drew his
revolver and fatally shot the soldier.

The crush became so great that at 10
O'Clock the principal doors in the corner

were allowad 10 pass through. The immense
eiitice was filled in short order, and men
and women were standing three or four
deep in the Hobbies back Of Che pews. Every
inch Of space in the galleries was occupied,
and people considered themselves fortunate
to be allowed to stand anywhere.
just before 10.30 o'clock the large folding
doors separating the church proper from the
Sunday-school room were thrown open, max
ing one immense auditorium. About 1000
persons crowded into this room, where,
though they could not see very veil, they
could distinctly hear everything that was
said. AT 1880 o'clock it was estimated that
there were fully $500 people in the building.
Half as many more remained on the outside,
being unable to gain admission.
The Tabernacle is by no means COM
pleted. A great amount of work remains to
! be done, and it will take two Sr three weeks
to finish it. 1t was after midnight Sunday
morning when the last workman left the
building. The incomplete state OF the edi-
flee did not in the slightest interfere with the
comfort of tine audience.
The rostrum was handsomely decorated
with flowers. A large bank OF roses placed
under the reading desk attracted a great
ideal Of admiration, The word 'EResurrec-

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Feeding troughs will always save
feed.
Young ducks need careful feeding
at first.
Eggs month old will not do for
Matching.
Guineas will almost invariably hide
their nests out.
Geese and ducks need bulky food
instead of SO much gram.
To be master of farm man
must be master of himself.
Keep watch on the turkey hens or
some of the eggs will BIO lost.
Supplying good drainage will aid
materially in preventing roup.
The best plan of stopping feather
eating is to kill those that begin it.
A number of foods may be used to
good advantage in feeding poultry.
Select your farm hands as you
would your seed-with extra care.
Generally it is the poultry for egg
production that pays the farmers best.
A tablespoonful of copperas in the
drinking water for younger fowls
will be found healthy.
Time is the farmers most assiduous
laborer, at work night and day, but it
needs clear head to boss it.
Fresh eggs are in demand these
times. Are you doing your share
toward supplying the demand?
White bran makes an excellent food
for poultry; it should never be fed dry
or raw; always scald it thoroughly.
Eight average hen eggs will weigh
pound, but there is considerable
difference between the largest ant
smallest.
After the fowls can be given FIRE,
ange care should be taken not Il
overfeed; very little corn is needed
from this time on.
There is little in this world but wha
is of use to the farmer. Even III,

tactical functions of the COW, and con-
sequently have failed when put to a
test A more promising effort has
been recently made by sanitary en-
gincer, Scotchman residing in the
famed dairy dlstrict Of Ayrshire,
which is certainly based upon reason
able principles, and is consistent with
the natural process by which the milk
Is drawn from the cows udder by the
calf. This is by suction and by at
mospheric pressure due to vacuum
provided by an air pump.
Soft elastic rubber cups are attached
to the cows teats, which are held by
tho air pressure, and these are connect
ed with set of tubes and pipes,
through which the milk is conveyed to
proper receptacle. The principle is
a scientific one, and If the obvious diff
ficulties in the way of applying it to
practice can be overcome there is little
doubt of Its final success. If this can
be assured, the most troublesome and
costly part of the dairy work will have
been done away with, and the whole
of 1t can be reduced to a simple method
by conveying the milk directly to the
separator or the butter extractor. Then
there will be nothing between the
cows and tho final product but this
mechanical agency. - New York
