George Meikle Kemp, the architect Of
the Scott monument at Edinburgh, was
q man who raised himself from OBJ
security by the sheer force Of talent and
determination. He had a retiring
nature, and a shy and shrinking manner
toward strangers The habit of hand
shaking created In him an embarrass-
ment and aversion which he could
scarcely control, and one of his friends
gives an amusing description Of the
manner In which he accomplished
the deed when it became inevitable.
The two were walking along one of the
streets in Edinburgh in the full flow Of
an animated conversation, when Kemp
suddenly became aware of friend APP
preaching them from the opposite direc-
ton.
Instantly the current of his thought
was arrested, he lost the thread Of con-
versation. and then became silent alto
gether. A whimsically troubled express
sion crept over his face, and nervous
commotion developed itself in his man.

AN Imnrnxad shnttIa.

A shuttle manufacturer In Massa-
chusetts has effected an Improvement in
that mechanism which promises TO be Of
considerable practical value In the oper-
ations Of wooden mills. In lieu Of tho
ordinary hinged spindle for receiving
and holding the bobbin Of yarn, short
rigid spindle is employed in combination
with two holding jaws, one above and the
other below the head Of the bobbin; the
latter they clasp and securely hold In
central position, single spiral spring
being arranged in the base Of the shut
tie 80 as to exert an equal pressure on
the bobbin holding jaws, between which
1t Is placed. Is q result Of this unique
construction all splitting Of the bobbins
arising from the use of the long pointed
hinged spindle Is obviated, with q conse-
quent saving Of waste yarn. The trouble
from the breaking of this yarn by the
canting of the spindle point In the weav-
ing operation is also overcome.-New
York Sun.

WHEN WE GO OFF AND Dbl DIE.

The road Is rough and rocky,
The road that leads to fame,
And the way is strewn with skeletons
OF those who have grown lame.
And have fallen by the wayside;
The world will pass you by,
Nor pause to read your manuscript
Till you go off and die.
Your friends Of course will print your
stuff,
And tell you 1t is good,
And when you sign it, More Anon,
They II say, wish you would.
They just about appreciate;
And yet know not why
They all forget you want to eat
TIL you go OF and die.
You'll find no shoulders here below
To help You bear your cross.
You'll have to eat your mutton plain,
Without your cAper sauce;
And when you read down to dessert
You'll find dearth of pie;
And you'n never know what pudding IL
TIL you go of and die.
But there's q consolation
In the thought that when we're dead
II we have written something good
Our efforts will be read;
And friends will plant forgetmenots,
And como and sit and sigh,
And irrigate our graves with tears
When we go Off and die.

Things Told BY others.

The Spirit of the Farm says that
the Leghorns stand far above all
other breeds in the egg producing
class.
Texas Farm and Ranch says crop
of corn can be grown and converted
into bacon and lard in from eight to
ten months. .
Upon good soil nitrate of soda gave
good results in Tomato culture at Cor
nell, at the New Jersey station and at
the Maryland station. a.u -a."
The Mark Lane Express says that
the eve and the lamb both require
hay--good hay. 1t is almost impossi-
BILE to fatten lambs without good hay.
Some asparagus growers claim that
an improvement of so per cent. can be
made in the asparagus bed by Sc
Letting two-year-old plants that bear
no seed. These are males, and the
shoots from them will be earlier and
larger.

Electric Bitters sing the same song of
praise. A purer medicine does not

ture crops.
One good soaking of the soil is bet
ter for the plant than dozen sprink-
lings. ... rs
Pears are best when picked and
ripened in the dark, covered from the
air. .. ....... .... r..n.
The soil of an orchard plowed in
the fall will freeze deeper than If not
plowed.
1t is not the plant but the soil that
needs the fertilizer for the plant to
feed on.
A tree with an open head is not as
likely to be attacked with mildew as
one that is crowded.
If apple trees have rich soil and
do not overbear, why should they not
bear crop every year.
Plants do not need change of soil
or climate 80 much as they do the
presence of the proper foods in the
soil.
Plant the seeds Of good fruit; if
they do not reproduce the same fruit
they may produce that which is
equally valuable.
A writer in an eastern exchange
says that the spores of rust and other
like fungus parasites on trees are
scattered in great part by the falling
leaves, which are blown in all direc-
tions.
The cold weather in January and
February is said to have killed part
of the fruit in Illinois. About three
fourths of the peaches are killed.
Apples and Strawberries were also
injured.
Why should the kitchen garden be
when it is probably the
best paying piece of ground on the
farm? 1t not only gives cash return
for the work bestowed upon it, but
it gives positive pleasure to the man
that does the work, provided that the
garden be not too large.

Hogs of Value.

A boar was on exhibition at some
of the Southern fairs last fall which
weighed over 1900 pounds. Some i'd
lot said it was worth $4,000. For
practical purposes it was worth moth
ing. What we want now are hogs
that will make moderate weights, and
make them quick that will grow up
to 200 pounds or something over in a
few months; give choice hams of IA
or 16 pounds each, and lean breakfast
bacon. Such hogs are worth $4,000
when you get enough Of them.-Tex-

Don't lend me to some blockhead
that has less sense than have.
Don't think because am horse
that iron weeds and briers won't hurt

Don't be so careless of my harness
as to find great sore on me before
you attend to it.
Don't run me down a steep hill, for
if anything should give way might
break your neck.
Don't whip me when I get fright
ened along the road, or will expect
1T next time and maybe make trouble.

would move up if under the whip.
Don't put on my blind bride so that

-: forelock that it will be in my eyes.
Don't hitch me to an iron post or
railing when the mercury is below

ttongue.
Don't keep my stable very dark, for
when I go out into the light my eyes
are injured, especially if snow be ON
the ground.
Don't leave me hitched in my stall
at night with a big cob right where I
must lie down. am tired and can't
select smooth place.
Don't forget to file my teeth when
they get jagged and cannot chew
my food. When 1 get lean it is sign
my teeth want filing.
Don't say whoa! unless you mean
1t. 1t may check me if the lines
break and save runaway and
smash-up.
Don't forget the old book, that is
friend of all the oppressed, that says
"A merciful man is merciful to his
beast"
Don't make me drink ice cold

mouth. Warm the bit by holding a
half-minute against my body.
Don't compel me to eat more salt
than want by mixing it with my

Gleanings.

Some of the best butter-makert
never use soap in cleaning the churr
and other dairy utensils. They use
tepid, warm and scalding water in
the order given.
Warmth and moisture, so necessary
to the growth Of cucumbers under
glass, also favor the development of
mildew. The two most common
varieties are the downy and powdery
mildews, the former attacking out
door culture, the latter discovered
only in greenhouse culture. AS q
preventive use the vapor of sulphur ;
not the fumes of burning sulphur.
Apples grown in grass ground will
keep longer than the same fruit grown
on cultivated land. Late keeping va
rieties therefore, should always be
grown in grass lands.

horticultural Notes.

Don't crowd your fruit trees. Give
room for air and sunshine.
In setting out an orchard, keep to-
gether all of the same variety.

There must be a particularly hot
spot in the earth under Wheeling, w.
Va. It is hoped to sink the well now
being driven there at least a mile.
The well is little less than five inches
in diameter. Its peculiarly is that
no vein of water has been tapped,
and being perfectly dry, scientific
men have an unexampled opportunity
to conduct their Investigations. The
temperature is being taken at various
depths. AT a depth of 1850 feet the
temperature is IS degrees; at 1916
feet, 70 degrees; at 1875 feet, 80 de-
grees; at 1875 feet, 10S degrees; and
at 1852 feet it is Ill degrees. Thus
the temperature is increasing faster
and faster the deeper the boring. For
instance, the increase in the 1000 feet
from 2375 1915 feet is about - de-
grees, while the increase in the next
1000 feet is more than 16 degrees.
If the heat goes on increasing in SINH
lar progression, depth will be reach
ed before long where every solid sub
stance will be melted. That, however,
will be no indication that the same
state of things exists everywhere

driven in other parts of the world

increase of heat, says the New York
