Writing With the Left Hand.

The nunbsr of mel VINO can write
le2ibly with the left haad is very small
in this country, where the fact of being
anbidexterous is not appreciated ut its
full worth. Sir Edwin Arnold remarked
while iu st. louis tina. in Japan every
child is taught to write with either and
both hands, and ne limited that this was
not the only evidence of sound com mon
sense he met with while 10 the kingdom
of the Mikado.
l learned to write with my left hand
some years ago, in consequence of the
impression created in my mind by read
ing the arguments of Charles Reade on
the subject, and now 1 change my pen
from hand to hand on the first impression
OF WEAKNESS.
There have been many remedies sug-
gested for what is known as writer's
cramp, and many writers alternate be-
tween the pen and the typewriter, but
the simplest plan of all is to acquire the
art of writing with either hand, aud
change from one to the other on the first
suspicion of fatigue.
1t is quite easy for child to learn
to write with the left hand, and although
after the muscles have got set with age
1T is more difficult, almost any man can
learn to write with his left hand in q
week, and to write about as we'll with
one hand as the other in less than year.

Catching a sheep requires moro sense
than is usually practiced by unthinking,
careless, and ignorant people. 1t is usu-
ally done by grabbing the wool and
holding the scared, struggling animal
until worried out. This is all wrong,
ard is cruelty personifcd. The pain is
akin to pulling the hair, and the blood
shot under the skin would astonish the
thoughtless catcher. A noted Vermont
sheep-breeder had boy who had been
instructed how to catch sheep, but had
failed to remember. In the presence of
the breeder one day he caught sheep in
the old way-by the wool. This breeder
gave him another lesson-hc took the
boy roughly by the hair of the head aud
yanked him out of the barn in jiffYf.
The boy was indignant, and was told it
hurt him no worse than he had hurt the
sheep. Such lesson should be given
everybody who has no more sense

POTATO DEGENERATION.

Except with those who desire to
originate new varieties, the potato is pro-
pagated from the tubers, and with some
sorts this is kept up so continuously it is
sometimes said that if favorable con-
ditions of culture and soil were always
offered, variety will not run out from
natural degeneracy. Whether this be
true, theoretically or not, experience has
shown thai under the common methods
of culture and selection of seed which
have been practiced by farmers, varieties
that were once the best known and most
valued have degenerated or run out to
such an extent that their names are
scarcely ever mentioned.
Among some Of these old-timers may
be named the Nashannock and the Long
John, the first not surpassed for general
excellence, nor the latter for great pro-
ductiveness and bookkeeping qualities
by any of our newer sorts. Later came
the Peachblow, to beer tho palm for
few years and then fall into comparative
obscurity. No better evidence of
habitual degeneration in the potato can
be adduced than the fact that our pre-.
vailing types are seedlings of more mod
ern origin. Another characteristic of
the potato plant deserving of mention
and difficult to account for is the scarcity
of bloom and seed oalls in most of the
new varieties as compared with those of
fifty years ago.-New York World.

SOWING OATS BY HAND.

Since the drill came into use it has be-
come the fashion to SOW all grain with
it. An exception may, we think, prop
erly be made of oats. II the ground has
been properly fitted it is almost impossi-
bic 20 drill oats without covering the
seed too deeply. The oat ground ought
always to be rolled after the crop comes
up. Ifit has been drilled this breaks
down the ridges and covers the seed
deeper than ever. On the other band,
sown carefully by hand by good sower
the oats can be distributed as evenly as
with a drill. After dragging the plowed
surface to level it down SOW the oats by
hand and cover with the smoothing har-
row. 1t will cover them ut a nearly
uniform depth of one inch. If rain comes
so as to pack the ground, go over it with
the smoothing harrow again. Thus
treated, oats will yield as large crop as
the land is capable of producing. The
only advantage of the grain drill for oats
is that with a fertilizer attachment

AS Deer Grow Scarcer Rattresnakes
become More Plentiful.

"Eyerybody who liyes in the wooded
counties of centraland northern Penn.
sylvania knows that rattlesnakes have
been getting thicker aud thicker every
year for years past, said a Lycoming
/ County lumber operator, land observant
woodemen say aud insist that the cause
of this is the thinning out of deer in the
woods. A blacksnake, as much as it
hates q rattlesnake, doesn't hate it more
than deer does, especially buck deer.
Deer will hunt rattlesnakes as persist
emily as a good dog will hunt birds.
When deer once gets his eye on rat
tier that .rattler's fate is sealed, as sure
as be is rattler. A rattlesnake seems
to know that it 10 no use trying to get
away when deer has spotted him, aud
he prepares for fight at once. The
deer knows the snake will fight, aud
waits until the RATHER throws itself into
its coil to strike, aud then literally gets
on to it with both feet. The deer rises
on its hind feet and comes down on the
snake with both of its sharp forefe ct, and
seldom fails to kill tho rattler instantly.
After killing the snake, if there are no
other rattlers near requiring its alton
ton, the deer will cut 1t to pieces with
its hoofs.
"In the fall of the year, when the
snakes are returning to their dens, aud
in the spring, when they are leaving
them, deer station themselves at the
entrances of the dens or near them and
kill rattlesnakes by the hundred. Thus,
when deer were numerous they undoubt-
eddy kept the rattlesnakes population
greatly reduced in numbers every year.
"Old hunters say that even If rattle
snake succeeds in biting deer the poi
son has no effect upon it. That may be
true as rule, but 1 have good reason to
believe that there may be exceptions to
it. came upon the carcass of big
buck, ore fall, lying in the woods in
Clinton County. 1t was greatly swollen.
I at first supposed that the deer had been
MORALLY wounded by some hunter, and
had escaped the dogs aud died without
being discovered, but, looking closer,
saw rattlesnake's fang in one of the
dead deer's nostrils, fast in the flesh.
The deer, to my mind, had attacked n
rattlesnake, and the snake had succeeded
in burying its fangs in his nose. The
deer, jerking his head back, had torn
one of the fangs from the reptiles jaw.
The venom had been injected, however,
and the deer died from its effects. -

now TO SPOIL HONEY.

Honey without flavor is the rule and
not the exception. So common is it to
find honey only sweet that it has little
more popularity than molasses, millions
of persons not being aware that perfect
honey, like the best butter, should have
q delicate and delicious favor-an indi-
viduality which nothing else can obtain.
How is it that SO much poor honey is
abroad2 Do the bees make it or is it
artifcial2 Neither. Mans ignorance or
carelessness damage good honey, antici-
pate its maturity OF prevent its proper
ripening. Sit down to almost any bee
keeping farmers table, and if his honey
is not devoid of flavor it is tainted with
mustiness or impregnated with the odor
of something worse, ninety times out of
hundred. 1t was removed too soon
from the hive; or, taken at the proper
time, was put in the cellar, or allowed
TO freeze or granulate. None of these
conditions should be allowed to occur if
the owner expects an extra article and
pnce to correspond. Removed in good
order from the hive, put it at once in a
clean, sweet place where it can absorb
no odor, not even that of new pine or
paint; keep it from currents of air, from
light and from freezing. The cellar, dark
or light, is among worst places.

Valuable Holes.

A hole is hard thing to put into o
collection of minerals, but there are
few holes in certain cabinets that are
among the most priced of their contents.
It must be added, however, that they
have enough surrounding material to
prove. that they are holes. They are
called fulgurites, and they are made by
lightning. A thunderbolt striking into
sand heap or sandy soil is sometimes
hot enough to yitrify, or turn into glass
the silicious matter that it penetrates, 80
that you have glass tube just as big
around as lightning flash. The largest
of these tubes known is about three feet
in diameter, but commonly they are less
than az inch in thickness: They have
been known to penetrate sand for dis
lance of thirty feet. --Minerals.

All, and are pcrpetually illuminated

Most Ansairce pretend toa knowl-
edge of what they did in former
existence, whether as animals or
men; and at Tarsus It is u common
theory amongst them that the Frank

research, come to look for treasures
which they remember to have seen in
these spots during a former existence.
a man, they say, who has not acted
rightly il this life may be punished
In the next existence by being born u
woman, and woman who does her
duty in this life may be rewarded In
the next by being born man.
Womankind is considered by them a
sort of probationary step between the
animal world and the lords of Gre
alton, and their women are treated
by them with great contempt and
never permitted to participate in the
sacred mysteries OF religion.
One OF the most curious features OF
the Ansairce faith is their belief In
The Trinity: Ali, the Father; Ma
homet, the Son, and Salman ell Fari,
The Holy Ghost Ali, the Father, be-
came man through his veil or repre-
sentative, Mahomct; and Mahomot
appointed Salman TO supcrintcnd the
affairs of this world after his return
TO his fathers kingdom. This mys-
terry OF Il Trinity is the second item
in the Ansairee religion, and is uni
versally believed in by all the four
sects: it is called "the mystery OF the
A. NJ. s." from the initial letters
OF the three individuals of their
Trinity.
An Ansairec--or Nasari, rs their
sect is more commonly called in tho
North-when taking an oath, will al
ways swear by his faith in the mys-
terry Of Ain, Min, SIM" and one of
the most common forms Of prayer
among them is to say the words

PRUNING THE ROOTS.

When tree has reached fruit bear
ing size aud shows no symptoms of fruit
bearing disposition, but instead throws
out vigorous branches, root pruning is q
very efhcacious mode of checking growth.
In highly cultivated gardens where trees
nre planted and the roots have access to
the rich soil, AN immense crop of branches
will be produced and little if any fruit.
Root pruning will check such growths
most etfectually and render the trees
fruitful. If done in August the supply
of sap will Immediately be lessened, the
wood maturing principle accelerated and
fruit buds formed. The operation has
been performed in spring with very little
benefit, but If done in the autumn can.
