HAUNTED BY A sNEEZE.
Maguire's ldiosyncrasy Used by a
Joker to Terrify Opie's
Soul.
A Wierd Tale of journalism in
Tennessee, by One Par
ticipant
Sneexe That Has Become Historic-"Fish
Hooks! Fish Hooks w--Finn's
Mean Trick.

Written for TIT SuNpAY I~NDEPENpENT.l
1t requires an effort to turn aside from IN
easy prevarication that promises a free
revel in fancy and embrace the angular
leanness of irresponsible fact, but on this
occasion I am compelled to relate an abso
lutte truth.
A number of years ago ! was a typesetter
in a Tennessee printing Office. The town
was small and the paper that served as the
mouthpiece of the country was in debt.
Old man Mcguire, the editor and proprietor
of the paper, was a fat old fellow with a
beaming countenance, a sympathetic heart
and an appetite that was not bound in by
the hoops of discretion. l have knawn men
whose appetites reached out after roast beef
and the Shiny firstlings of the oyster season.
but Maguire's appetite, ignoring the
F~renchman's art, called for the corn juice
of the mountaineer; yet no one ever saw
him intoxicated. His face would beam
with a lustre more intense, his nose would

The Worlds Richest Heiress.

The little Wilhelmina, Qneen of Holland.
is the richest heiress in the world. She is a
simple-minded, intelligent child, and talks
four languages fluently. Her chief deligh
when she WAS five or six was to make mud
pies, but this pleasure she was not often al
lowed to indulge in. The little queen has
an enormous number of white frocks, and
she is dressed in nothing but white in sum
mer, and has a clean dress every day.
When driving out her English eoverness
has great difficulty in keeping the poor lit
tie queen perpetually acknowledging the
| public salute.
why do all the people want to look at
me?" asked the little mite one day.
Not for your sake, dear, but because you
are your mammals little girl" was her gov
erness' wise reply.-Sunshine.

DISLlKED HIS NAME.
John Smith, of England, Becomes Gagidil
GiEadab.

John Smith, of England, Becomes Gagidig
Gigadab.
There is q quaint old man in Manchester,
England. says the New York Tribune, who
goes by the unique name of Gagidig Giga-
dat. His original name, SO the story goes.
was John Smith, but many years ago he be-
gan to brood over the possibilities of mista-
ken identity in such a common name. The
name figured frequently in the criminal rec
ords, and he became abnormally apprehen-
sive lest he might be confused with some of
these bad John Smiths. At last what he
feared SO much actually happened. One
morning the papers recorded the capture Of
an accountant in u bank for embezZlement.
and through a blunder of the reporter the
identity of the embezzler was confused
with the subject of this paragraph.
who was also a bank accoun-
tant. Then and there he determined
to assume a name like unto no other eyer
borne by mortal man. And in Gagadig
Gigadab most people will agree that he has
done SO. Dickens, in his most erratic
flights of nomenclature, never invented
anything like it. He is an old man now
and thinks that his queer name will in
some way ward off his death. Years g he
challenged any poet to write four verses,
each having a rhyme for his last name, but
no one ever accepted the challenge.

SMALL FRUIT CULTURE.

For leaders who propose spring
planting of stra 1beiries or other small
iruits,a few points selected from paper
read ut a meeting of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society by NJ. P. NJ. Au-
CUR Pomologist of the Board of Agri-
culture of the State of Connecticut, will
be both seasonablc ,and useful. For
spring planting, for fruit alone, it is rec.
commended tc set the strawberry in rows
three feet apart and one and half feet
in the row, allowing each spring plant
to throw one strong runner on each side.
roofing single plant opposite the inter
venlng spaces SO that each trio will rep
resent the angles of triangle. For
July planting, set in rows two feet apart
and one and half in the row, Just after
a rain, when each plant can be taken IN
with mat Of earth adhering.
The Wilson was once every mans
berry the crescent was called the lazy
mans berry, and the Haviland is much
after the style of the crescent. All are
rather too small to be satisfactory. There
are now too many good varieties offered
to allow of detail in their description.
AS q rule, the pistillate varieties have
been the most productive when properly
matched with suitable bi-sexuals. Thus
three or four rows of the Jewell, with
the Sharplcss on one side and the Bel
mont on the other, are considered we'll
matched. Likewise the Jersey Queen,
with the Cumberland on the one side
and the Charles Downing on the other,
have produced immensely.
With the raspberry and the blackberry,
as with the strawberry, the tendency is
to overcrowd. Plant raspberries six feet
BY six feet apart; blackberries, eight
feet by six feet. When the canes reach
three and half feet, nip out the tips,
which will give strong laterals. and when
these reach one and half feet clip them.
Few are aware of the possibilities of
these plants when we'll treated.

While 1t is true that farming does not

young people on the farm have been en-
couraged to find their pleasures and re-
taxation at home9 This is the only wav
to make farm life attractive to the aver.

goes to the city, will naturally soon seem

WHEN IS A HEN TOO rAr2

A hen is too fat when she is apparently
too heavy behind, when she is lazy and
cares nothing for work, seeking only to
have the owner feed her. She cannot
easily fly, soon becomes tired from exer-
ton when chased, does not lay, though
in good health, and is very heavy when
held in the hands. We do not state that
any one of the above causes indicate n
fat hen, but to observe her in all of
them. OF course, the surest method is
to lift her and the weight will be there.
Examination of the rear of the BODY will
also show the fat under the skin by its
color.
AS to what should be the character
and quantity of the food required to
keep them in healthy condition, can
not be correctly stated, as no two hens
are alike. Leghorns and Brahmas Cor
other large brecds) should not be kept
together. II hens are in good condition,
the best food is chopped clover hay
Chopped half an inch in length and
scalded, all they will cat in the m ,rn-
ing, tablespoonful of ground meat
mixed with mashed potatoes; and scatter
wheat for them to pick up before going
to roost.-harm and Flreside.

AVOID EARLY pAsrun1So.

Pastures should not be pastured until
the heritage has made good start. 1t
is great vase to feed off the grass be-
fore it furnishes full bite. The roots
are nourished through the leaves. 1t is
IN the leaves that the food of plants is
prepared for assimilation aud change into
cellular tissue; and until the leaves are
we'll grown the roots cannot grow. But
when the leaves are well started the
roots increase and the foliage then grows
more rapidly, and as this grows the
roots become stronger. It is plain, then,
that early pasturing stunts the growth
all through the year, and is of little
benefit to the animals Themselves

Fuel Famine.

The bounty of nature, originally law
ished on the coastlands of the AIediter-
ranean, did not include the blessing of
extensive coal deposits. In the course of
the recent phenomenally severe winter
that deficiency was sorely felt in MANY
inland districts OF. Spain and Italy, but
especially oa the Island of Corsica. The
dcountrymen of Napoleon are as thrifty as
scotch farmers; they lay up food sup
plies for years in advance and have even
contrived to obvlate the danger of over.
population by disccuraging early mar
riages; but they have been unable to
prevent the destruction of their highland
forests, and are almost resourceless in
protecting themselves from frosts which
repeatedly seemed to have caualied thu
eifoIts OF full grown Western blizzard.
