Fun in Classic Cambridge.

One hot morning this week two little
boys, about or J years old and little
girl 2 years younger were playing about
in the back yard of one Of the houses Of
brick block on certain street in Cam
bridge. There was hammock in the
yard and the children had been swinging
each other until they had tired of the
amusement, says the Boston Journal.
"Say, Dick" shouted the smaller of the
two boys, "let's play robbers"
"All right, Harry. How'll yer play7"
said the other boy.
"WhY III be robber king and you'll
be one of my company. Wen 60 ever
so far of, almost to Boston and we must
kill every single man we meet"
"What bloodthirsty little fellow this
is" thought the writer. Then the other
little fellow spoke up, saying:
:'Let's capture Tharah first and shoot
her. Make believe she was a princess,
sleepin' in hammock"
This plan met the approval of Master
Harry, but little Sarah, laying in the ham,
mock, deeply interested apparently in a
big picture book, was oblivious to every
thing that was going on.
The two boys walked stealthily to the
other end of the yard, and then, getting
their toy pistols and tin swords out
gave some curdling yelIs, and dashed to-
ward the little girl in the hammock.
'S'render! S'render! Hold up yer
hands Money or yer life!" shouted the
two youngsters, selling little Sarah and
hustling her out of the hammock on to
the grass. fs@H ~
.Mah-mah! Mah-mah!" cried Sarah,
loudly, rising to her feet and pushing
aside the discounted robber king and his
chum. "Dick Smith and Harry Brown
threw me out of the hammock. Boo
hoo, boo hoo, boo hoo, - and the little girl
burst out crying.
Now Tharah don't cry like that" said
Dick, running to her side. awe was only
maxim b'lieve. This amt truly pistol
Don't cry, that's good girl"
But little Sarah was only making be-
lieve herself, aud as she withdrew her
chubby hands from before her face no
traces of tears were visible, and it was
seen that what had seemed to be crying
was only laughter.
"You is gwate wobber kings, you il, y
she shouted in glee, to be skeered by a
girl"
The boys said nothing more about rob-
Der kings that morning.

Do Lying Witnesses Always Yawni
A few evenings ago half dozen men
we're sitting out in front of tho Capital
hotel discussing various topics when
Judge Yost Of the superior court, in tell
ing an anecdote Of trial, remarked that
the witness yawned and he knew he was
lying.
"How did you knows' was asked.
"Well, sir, ! have seen witnesses lie snd
not yawn, but / never knew one to yawn
that he was not telling lie."
Judge Sims, the member of the legis-
lature from Trigg, remarked, "Yes, al
ways know witness is lying when he
yawns."
Senator Dave Smith said, ut ia almost
inviaribly the casa"
Jugde Wall, the senator from Mason,
came up and corroborated the statement
of the others and Judge Brent, Of the SUI
perior court, joined the group. "Yes," he
cnlme0 IN, when witness vawns he IL
telling lie, and he knows it."
Several other lawyers we're appealed 10,
and all bore out the statements made.
None, however, could explain the phe-
nomenop.. Judge Yost was the only one

q fellow was swearing to a lie he could.

Growing Peanuts.

Peanuts grow best on rather light,
sandy loans, especially when they CON
tain a good percentage of lime. The
presence of this last substance seems to
be essential to the full development of
the peanut, aud when not naturally
present in tho soil must be supplied.
This may be done by broadcast applica-
tfons of lime-ten to twenty bushels of
Stacked lime to the acre-or by coinposts
into which land plaster enters, or acid
~phospates, as these last contain a large
percentage of lime. Ashes also con-
stitute a good fertilizer for peanuts, as
these contain a good deal of lime, also
potash. The yield is very variable.
We have no data before us to say what
the average is, probably not exceeding
thirty bushels per acre. Land is pre-
pared as for other crops and thrown into
low, latbeds, three to four feet wide,
according to variety grown. What is
termed the Spanish peanut does not grow
as large as some others and may be
planted on three foot beds, hills two feet
apart. The crop is planted about the
same time that corn is, usually in March.
The whole nut may be planted, but
plants do not come up as quickly as
when they are shelled. When planting
is delayed from any cause, it is better to
plant the shelled peas, two seeds in each
hill. When the plants appear they are
plowed and hoed at first like any other
crop. As branches form AMI spread out
dirt should be sifted under their ends
with a pillow every week or two, but
the branches should not be disturbed by
the plow. The peanut blossoms above
ground, but when the bloom drops the
embryo nut decends into the ground by
a lengthening Of its stem. If it does not
get into the soil it aborts aud comes to
nothing. 1t is important, therefore, to
have fresh loose earth in which tha nuts
may bury themselves, also that the vines
be not moved, because when disturbed
the nuts will be pulled out of the ground.
Some persons place dirt on the vines to
press them into the ground and o
the nuts. This is not necessary if dirt is
properly sifted under the ends of the
advancing limbs, and is Objectionable
because it smothers more or less of the
leaves.-Southern Farmer.

FARM N GARDEN.
POINTS ABOUT cAuL1FLowEB.

Cauilfower delights in cool, moist cor.
dltions of soil and climate. The soil
should be rich, deep and sufficiently loamy
TO retain moisture. A heavy CLAW will
not do, as it encourages late growths and
SO delays heading. There are so few
parts OF the country that are naturally
suited to the extensive cultivation of
caulliower, and so little general knowl-
edge exists of its requirements, that it
has gained the reputation of being an
uncertain and difficult crop to manage.
In TACT, II given proper treatment. lit NAV
usually be grown almost as easily and
cheaply as cabbage, and there are few
localities where spots favorable to its
cultivation may not be found. One does
not want acres of %caulidower, for its
marketable condition only lasts about
Two weeks, and the demand in this coun.
try IS yet limited, not being as good as
Tor cabbage. However, in spite of the
light demand, it is a profitable crop near
a large market. From 10, 600 to IL. 600
plants may be set to the acre; these
should average ten cents a head at har-
vest time. The young plants will grow
IN midsummer, but will not form good
heads. Where the winters are mild the
early varieties may be started in cold
frames and made to head before the ad.
vent OF hot dry weather.-New York
Voice.

The Bananas Good Points.

The banana is only now beginning to
be appreciated, aud will be much better
liked when people learn to cook this de-
licioas fruit aud prepare it for food as it
is used in countries where the plant
grows. In the South, in Mexico and In
the West Indies the banana is fried like
the sweet potato, baked like the Irish
potato, is made into pies, is mashed up
into a paste and dried, is preserved, and
in any and every way is good. There
is more nourishment in the banana than
in the potato. The same land that will
grow 1000 pounds of potatoes has been
proven by actual experiment capable Of
growing Al, 900 pounds of bananas.
Even nov this fruit is Cheap, but ten
years from now bananas will be uni
versaIly eaten in the United States and
will furnish q delicious substitute on the
family table for the potato.-st. Louis

How Witches We're Convicted.

zone of the theories of the age was
that the devil set his mark upon each of
his servants that witches were all
Marked" says Winfield S. Nevins in the
New England Magazine. ga jury of
the sex Of the accused was appointed to
the body for such marks. It
often happened that some excresence of
flesh common to old people, or one ex-
~plainable by natural causes, was found.
One such was found on the body of
Goody Nurse, and reported to the court,
all but one of the jury agreeing to the
report. Rebecca Preston and Mary
Tarbell knew that the mark was from
natural causes. The prisoner stated to
the court that the dissenting woman of
the jury of examination was one of the
most ancient, skilful and prudent, and
further declared, 4 there rendered a
sufficient known reason Of the moving
cause thereof She asked Sor the ap-
pointment of another jury to inquire into
the case and examine the marks found
on her person. The jury Of trials re-
turned a verdict of not guilty. There
upon all the accusers in court cried out
with renewed vigor and were taken in
the most violent fits, rolling and tum-
bling about, creating a scene of She wild
est confusion. The judges told the
jurymen that they had not carefully con-
sidered one expression of the prisoner,
namely, that when one Hobbs, a con-
Tossing witch, was brought in as
evidence against her she said: 'What,
do you bring her? She is one of u.s.
The jury retired for further consultation.
Even then they could not agree upon a
verdict of guilty. They returned to the
courtroom and desired that the accused
explain the remark. She made no re-
spouse, and the jury returned a verdict
of guilty."

FLAX AS A FARM CROP,

AS reported in the Division of Stats.
TICS OF the Department of Agriculture, a
special investigation was undertaken for
the purpose of ascertaining the produc-
ton OF f1axseed. This shows that there
has been a large increase in the area dc.
voted to this crop during the last two
years, the increment being entirely west
OF the Mississippi River, and mainly con
fined to the States of Minnesota, Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas. The
acreage for 1891 is estimated at /, 927,-
293 acres, and the product of seed 49,
455,272 bushels.
The enlargement is in those districts
having the larger proportion of new
lands. Flax has been found the best
crop for first cultivation On sod land, as
sisting in getting the soil into good filth
for other crops, besides being o money
crop. Another potent reason for the
heavy enlargement during the past two
years is the fact that there has been a
steady demand for faxseed at prices
which have paid for its cultivation, bet
ter than the returns from wheat-grow-
ing. An increased acreage based uponl
such reasons cannot De permanent, and,
already, with lower offerings on the farm
for the seed, there are indications that
some portion of the area will be aban-,
doned next year.
Under present conditions the crop is
grown almost entirely for the seed, the
fibre not being made use of to any great
extent. As many correspondents de-
clare fax-growing for the seed alone does
not pay except as a first crop, the future
of the industry depends upon the utiliza-'
ton of the fibre as we'll as of the seed.
There are indications in some sections of
the Northwest, especially in Minnesota,
of popular interest in the question Of
establishing fibre industry, and this
interest has been a factor in the increase
in the area given to fax in that State
New York World.
The Opelousas courier., 1892-07-09

William Sanders, in a report to the
Department of Agriculture, says: One
of the principal objections urged against
the employment of live fences or hedges
is the cost of keeping them in efficient
repair, for it admits of no qualification
that unless they receive proper attention
they will prove to be of but little value
as a fence against live stock.
Unfortunately, our best hedge plants
SO far are of strong growth, especially
when young, and consequently require
10 be trimmed two or three times durin 2
the summer, at least for several years
after planting, and this at a time when
farm crops demand attention, SO That in,
a number of cases the hedge is neglected
and o ceases to be serviceable. The
best hedge plant is n that could be
kept by winter trimming only, because
in that season of comparative leisure it
would probably receive attention; but
with such strong growing plants as the
Usage, orange and honey locust, our two
popular hedge plants, it is impracticable
to produce a close fence without frequent
summer trimmings. THERE'S one thing,
however, which should be put to their
credit, that after a few years the growth
will be less profuse; the weakening eff
feet of continued summer pruning ulti-
mately weakens the plants so that they
become easier managed. This also pre-
vents them from sending out their roots
to q great distance, so that they do not
interfere with cultivated crops, an evil
which soon becomes visible when a hedge
is neglected and allowed to take care of
itself. When a hedge gets into a con-
dition that one summer trimming and
one Understanding will keep it in fair
" good condition the labor and cost is
reduced to a minimum. 1t will also have
d tendency to retard the exuberance Of
early summer growth il the winter trim
ming is delayed until after the buds be-
gin to push in spring. This will make a
difference Of several weeks in regard to
summer trimming and will prove of some
Importance when summer pruning is
confined to one operation. The weakest
part of a hedge is always nearest the
ground. The criterion of a well kept
hedge is that of thickness at the bottom;
this also should be its widest part. and it
should taper upward to a point. Unless
this form is strictly maintained the lower
branches will gradually weaken and ulti-
mately die out, leaving gapes which are
not easily closed. Hedges which become
weak and full Of gaps through neglect
NAV be renewed by cutting them down
ii early winter to within eighteen inches
Of SO from the ground, the plants will
then branch out vigorously and by
proper pruning soon be all that need be
desired al d fence.-New York Herald.
