Speaking of superstitions among sick
people a hospital physician said: rUpon
one occasion one Of the convalescents
was sitting near the window when he
observed small dog barking furiously
while running along the ground direct
ly underneath Suddenly the animal
stopped, and looking upward began to
sniff the air and then commenced dig
ging in the earth at furious rate and
keeping up an incessant whining. The
patient called an attendant and told her
that he wished to be put back To bed, a.
the time was fast approaching for his
demise. The nurse demonstrated and
tried to laugh the man out Of the absurd
notion, but it was without avail, and
the patient had his wish granted and for
several days grew rapidly worse.
II inquired into the cause, and upon
being told tried to make the man see
how foolish it was to relinquish all hold
lie had upon life But the idea had such
a firm hold upon him that | was finally
obliged TO resort to extreme measures,
and threatened to send him into the
streets to die if he was not better in
three days. AZ anticipated. the dread
of dying upon a public highway coun-
teracted the effect Of the presentiment,
and within the allotted time the patient
improved wonderfully, and was after
ward discharged cured ancured
as he afterward told me, Of both his all
ment and his superstitions. Chicago

She was a Normal college girl, and she
decided to take the Sixth avenue elevated

carried her coin in her mouth, that she
might lose no time at the ticket window.
When she reached the ticlzet window she
swallowed the coin and several people

Washing Away the Earth,

A French geologist has made careful
calculation of the amount Of solid mat
ter yearly carried off into the ocean by
the action Of the rivers of the world and
other causes. He estimates that the re-
duction of the average height of the sur
face Of the solid land is 0.006 inches each
year Making allowance for the CORE
spending rise in the bed of the ocean, and
taking no account of the occurrence Of
volcanic and other exceptional phenome-
na-the general tendency of which is to
hasten the process of disintegration-th the
period at which the solid land will have
ceased to exist and the surface of the
earth will be covered with water has
been estimated. AS, however, that
period is $500, ,OO9 years di.tant, the pre-.
diction need cause no immediate dis
quietude. Pittsburg Dispatch.

From experiments made at the Wis
consin station to ascertain the compare
tive loss in corn fodder when preserved
in the silo or by the ordinary method Of
curing in the field, the results of ten
trials during period Of three years ap-
pear to be narrowed down to this: The
loss of food materials in either system is
very considerable. and shows that fod-
ders cannot be preserved by any method
now known without their deteriorating
in value.
In the fodder corn as it is cut in the
fall there is certais quantity Of food
elements that may be preserved in sue
cuIent state in the siED. or cured and fed
to cattle as dry fodder In either case
an equal quantity of the food materials
is destroyed, on an average about one
fifth. This loss being equal in either
case, the question Of which method Of
preserving fodder corn to adopt becomes
one of convenience and economy of feed.
The value Of these feeding stuffs was
about the same for milk and butter pro-
duction, hence it is concluded the adop-
ton or non-adoption Of the silo must be
decided on the score of convenience. In
some localities the conditions may be
more favorable to the field curing sys-
tenn, while in others the uncertainty of
weather, the cheapness Of lumber or the
severity of winter may speak strongly in
favor Of the system Of ensiling the fod-
der corn.

A young BOstonian visiting this city,
and who thought hipself very smart,
was easily sold by an old "gag." Pre-
tending TO be something of an epicure,
he was praising the sea products found
near the Hub, when Philadelphia law
yer remarked: sBut you should eat our
oysters. They would knock you silly.
Why, can give you all the Philadelphia
oysters you can eat for ten centsr
The Bostonian bet fifty dollars on his
reputation as an oyster eater. So one
evening, after period Of semi-starvation
to fit himself for the contest, he and the
lawyer went to well known oyster sa-
loon not far from Broad and Chestnut
streets The lawyer threw dime on
the counter, and told the oysterman to
go ahead Ten oysters were opened and
rapidly consumed by the Bostonian. His
mouth watered for more, but the lawyer
declined to order them, claiming he had
won the fifty dollars A storm of re-
proaches greeted him, in the midst of
which he calmly remarked My dear
boy, have you not had all the oysters you
can eat for ten cents? Ask the man. He
won't give you any more for the money.

his health without regaining all his fac

and begged to be retained.

take along your ridge pole and tent pins,
and always have an ample supply of
cord. 1t is well to take tent pins, be-
cause sometimes You are suddenly over

convenient or impossible to obtain tent
pins. Never take crockeryware, for it
is sure to break and heavy to carry.
Sufficient attention is not always given

n LO1EmADE SAN AflllNI APPARATUS.
Many times bees light high, Or on
fruit or ornamental trees that we do not
wish to injure by cutting the limb off.
In such case some kind of a swarming
apparatus is very convenient. The one
here reproduced from Ohio Farmer is
made from long forked stick. Bend the
forks together in the shape Of hoop,
and just large enough to go in large
coffee sack (or other open material that
will not smother the bees), then fasten it
in the mouth of the sack. Bend the stick
near the fork. For convenience cut the
stick in two near the fork, and fasten the
two parts together again, SO they can be
easily taken apart. This makes very
good swarming arrangement. 1t is very
cheap, light and convenient, says the au-
thority quoted
Shake the bees from the limb into the
sack, turn it over, and no bees can es-
cape; carry them to the hive; take the
cover of and gently lay the sack on top
of the frames, so the bees can crawl out
Of the sack down into the hive. Some
times swarm will leave their new home
To make a sure thing of their staying,
give them comb containing brood and
honey from the parent hive. have never
had a swarm to leave when thus treated
In hiying a swarm on empty frames
we do not mean that they are strictly
empty, but frames that have a starter
in them, which is anarrow strip Of founda-
ton about an inch wide, fastened in the
center Of the underside Of the top bar.

ton il fastened in sestion boxes This

which it il allowed to rest for five min

Manure Tor Potatoes.

A fertilizer suited to any soil cannot
be prescribed without knowing the par
ticular needs Of whatever soil it is ap-
piled to. In most cases. the most certain
and reliable fertilizer is good barn
manure properly applied the previous
years. Superphosphates do not always
pay cost, hut if they have proved de-
cidedly useful on any soil, few hun
dred pounds may be applied to the acre.
In other instances ground bone. mixed
with moderately heating barn manure,
has proved beneficial on some land.
Nitrate of soda has greatly aided growth
on some soils. with no appreciable ben
eft ON others An extensive manufact-
urer of potato fertilizers assured Es that
he could not recommend any for certain
named soils. Such special fertilizers
have sometimes given the largest known
potato crops in the country, but in many
cases they have produced comparatively
small ones. Every owner therefore must
experiment variously on his own land to
determine what is needed and to select
the best.-Country Gentleman
