Origin OF tho Term NOOsicr.

During the opening Of tho Louisville
anl Portland Canal by the General Gov
crnmcnt, there were Kentuckians, Indi-
anians, and many from the "Grcen Isle''
who worked on tho canal. Drinking
and fighting, especially Saturdays, were
common. Men used no weapons then,
and tho man who even attempt to draw
weapon was branded as a coward
There were three brothers from Indiana
named Short, who were giants in
strength. The hero Of our story was
named Aaron, six feet tall, weight 200
pounds, with no surplus flesh. perfect
athlete, and, rs there were no rules by
which they were governed in fighting he
was protected bolow the pit of tho
stomach with heavy leather giralc
which he wore under his clothes.
One Saturday afternoon there seemed
to he u general engagement all along the
line. The hero Of our story was attracted
by u large ring formed around some com
batants, among whom were some of his
friends. When he attempted to force
his way into the ring the men were so
denscly packed that he could not enter
By the assistance Of some friends on tho
outside he was raised to tho shoulders Of
the crowd and crawled over and jumped
down among the combatants. He had
not much more than Strengthened himself
~ before he mel an antagonist worthy
of hi: steel. Suffice it to say that before
he put on his coat he h,d whipped five
men and jumped up and cracked his feet
together three times and swore that hc
was "hushcr." This same Short. while
on visit in Morgan County to see his
relatives, sent word to Jake Payton that
he would he in Moorcsville on u certain
day, but Mr.. Payton did not come.
Jumping and hopping were very common
in that day. Mr.. Short could Jump on u
level thlrty.six feet at three Jumps and
turn around and jump back to the place
Of beginning.
These are substantially the facts about
the origin of "lIoosIcr,' or "Husher."
The ClncinnattI papers discussed this
question very fully before the war. and
while they did not fully agree as to the
hero, they all agreed as to the place.

THE SHEEP TAPEwoRM.

Sheep are infected by a species of
tapcworm which exists in the brain, but
IN It's larva stage only. The mature
worm inhabits the dog, and it is due to
the presence Of the dog that sheep be-
come infected. Indeed, both animals
arc necessary to the existence Of this psr-
asItc, which is known as Cnnurus cere-
bralis, and also rs Hydatus cerebralis,
because it is enclosed in watery blad-
der which is found in the sleeps brain
just under the skull. This creature has
several heads, each of which is armed
with circle Of hooks by which it is at
tachcd to the co yering membrane of tho
brain, aud sucking disk, by which it
draws in its nutriment. AS it increases
III size 1T causes pressure on the brain,
the result of which is disturbance of
the nervous functions and the irregular
movements Of the animal, which are
well known to indicate the existence of
the parasite in the sheep. The sheep
turns around on one side or the other as
either side OF the brain may be affected
by the injury, or if the centre of the
brain is affected the sheep raises its head
and stumbles forward.
Inc sheep take In tho eggs of the
tapcworm that are discharged by the
dogs on the grass, and these being swal-
lowed arc Matched in the sleeps stom-
ach. The young worms then penetrate
the tissues into the veins, by which they
find their way to the capilaries Of the
brain, where they lodge and grow to
their intermediate stage, often attaining
size of two inches, including the blad-
der and its liquid coatcnts. Some vet
erinarians who have had sufficient ex-
pcricnce are able by the symptoms above
mentioned to locate the bladders, and
either puncturc them, aud so destroy the
worm, when the bladder becomes alb
soIbcd without injury, or they open the
skull by trcpanning and remove the in
trudcr. When II sheep thus diseased
dies, which is the most frequent result
and the carcass is lett to the dogs, the
immature worms are swallowed, aud ma
turc in the dog, to he voiled from time
to time in the usual segmcnts, that are
filled with eggs, and these are picked up
by the sheep. Those unler two years
old are most subject to the parasite. -

NITRATE OF SODA FOR TOMATOES.

Three years experiments with nitrate
OF soda by f.. B. Voorhees,, OF the New
Jersey Station (S.B. 1893, show that for
tomatoes nitrate of soda alone is superior
to either barnyard r{anure or mineral
fertilizers, but is less effective than tho
complete manure. Op land previously
literally fertilized with phosphoric acid
and potash. nitrate soda used alone. in
small quantities, gave the best aud most
profitable results. With the small guam
tity of 100 pounds OF nitrate per acre,
tho second application was advantage
Gus, but 800 pounds per acre was most
effective. The soils used were a sandy
loan in Southern New jersey, in sec
tion largely devoted to raising tomatoes
for the early markets, and a clay loan in
Northern New Jersey. The maximum
yields Of tsf1Htses sosm 10 depend upon
full supply Of immediately available
nitrogen, but as phosphoric acid and
potash are also needed, the farmer should
know the capacity of his soil for the
crop in order to economically use COM

AFTER THE cows.

The posture reached to the bleak uplsnds
where the sugar NAPLES stood
Firmly rooted amid the rocks, at the edge Of
the great pine wood;
The brook from the spring In the forest
issped downward in clouds OF spray,
And the tall ferns drooped and nodded their
heads above the bowlders gray.
Tho hush OF the summer evening fell. restful
and cool and damp;
The fireHy in the buttercup meadows lighted
his ghostly laup;
And high In tho fare Of the sunset climbed
pthe dome OF the blue.
As three little children went after tho cows
barefooted through the dew.
The whippoorwiIl sang in the slders that
fringed the bank OF tho stream;
And, like the mystical music ono hears In q
beautiful dream,
The tinkle OF cow-bells blended with tho
ripping waters below,
And the full red moon In the shaiowy cast
on the horizon hung low
The air was sweet with the clover bloom from
the banqueting grounds of the bees,
And the woodsy scent OF the moses that hid
in the shade Of the trees
The cow-path wound through the hemlocks
and round the high lodges curled,
Where, gazing out through the distance, we
saw to the ends OF the world!
We called the COWS through the gloaming-
Ruby, and Bessie, and Floss,

With their believing heads horne high aloft
as they galloped to reach tho ford.
Knee-deep in the gurgling water they
crowded and pushed rs they drank;
They rearei and hooked at each other as
they climbed the slippery bank
They plunged their heads In the clematis rs

And tosse on their horns tho eel grass, SO
snaky and green and wet.
Three little children followed them close, all
fearless and happy and free.
Holding the tanned brown hands OF each

Through tie soft cool damp OF tho shadows
and under the light OF the stars,
Driving the cows with their tinklinx bells

Hoo VERSUS SNAKE.


A fight out of the usual line took place
few nights since at San Francisco
athletic club. There were not many
present, nor was the purse large, and
the combntants had had very little ring
experience One was picbald hog be-
longing to Senator" Hcaly, south
San Francisco resident, and the other
was on Arizona rattlesnalse, the prop
erty of II. NJ Jones, who resides In the
sarno district The hogs name wns
Casey, and the snake went by the ap-
pellation of Mars. Both ere dead now.
Tho fight was to be TO finish, though
none of the spectators thought for a
moment that both the contestants
would die. The bets were In favor OF
the hog. for Casey had killed numerous
reptiles before, and, in common with
other members of his tribe, was looked
upon es being proof against their ven-
on.
An incloscd circular ring had been
built in the middle of the hall, which
somewhat rcsemhled an diversified dog
fighting pit. It was four feet deep by
fifteen in diameter. The Hoor was
plentifully strewn with whito sand to
the depth Of two inches, to give the
snake chance to move around to the
best advantage.
When the hog and the snake were let
loose in the pit tho reptile made q dash
at the quadruped and buried It's fangs
under the hogs shoulder. Casey
squealed in the fury of agony and des-
pair, for it was then pretty certain that
he was a dead pig. BY his dexterity,
however. he saved himself until he had
virtually won the contest He made
for the snake, but Mars wiggled and
twisted to get out Of his way and kept
him busy chasing around the ring.
Finally he caught the reptile and q Sec
ond later had bitten through It's body in
ten different places. In five minutes
he had devoured the pieces of his foe
While he was killing Mars, Casey kept
squcaling all the time, and when It was
dead he tore It's body TO pieces. Then
the hopelessly injured pig. whose right
foreleg was swollen and crippled by his
death wound, put his snout to the Aoor
and rooted around, devouring every
fragment Of his victim Then he lay
down to die His owner thought By
pouring whisky down the hogs throat
he could be saved from the effects Of
the poison His efforts, however, were
unavailing, and at 1870 the next morning
Casey was pork. President Walker gave
the victory to the hog. whose owner re-
ceived purse of one hundred dollars
and ffty-three dollars gate receipts.
