PROLONGED THE DAYLIaHr.

Yesterday was the shortest day Of
the year, and from this time the days
win grow gradually longer. On sew
eral recent clear evenings the after
glow succeeding the setting Of the sun
was remarked for its beauty and strong
golden color. It prolonged the day
light. Yesterday the sun set at AL.
The afterglow was bright at $50, and
its last tinges did not fade out Of the
west until 6 o'clock.

and who is employed BY fils Worlds
Fair Commissioners Of West Virginia
to gather up specimens Of the vegeta-
bic kingdom found in West Virginia
for exhibition at the Columbian Fair
next summer, has discovered upwards
Of one hundred plants, large and small,
Of various kinds and species hitherto
unknown to botany, and which will
have to undergo the cerem6ny Of
christining. He has found tree or
shrub that is unknown this side Of
Labrador--none having ever been
found in the intervening space. He
has also found an unknown species Of
raspberry whose fruit Is red and quite
large, and best Of all, from the stand
point Of the fair sex, thornless black

This increase in tho power will b
hailed with delight BY our citizens, d
the lights win be far better than here

the heavy strain on the machinery,
The increase in power will not only
obviate this difficulty, but give the

POTATOES AWAY UP.

The Retail Prios Double What II Was Year Ago
Greater Advance Probable.
The retail price Of potatoes now is
just double what it was a year ago,
and if . good frost sets in the price
win still be materially advanced.
Potatoes that are now being retailed
at from eighty to ninety cents bush

months ago for thirty to forty cents.
The spring yield was plentiful, but the
fall crop suffered greatly from the
long drouth.
Il is more than probable that pota-
toes will advance to one dollar . BUSH

Pastures in Autumn

A correspondent writing in the New
York World says: "One often reads
directions about not feeding pastures
too often in the spring, but the caution
is not so frequently given about not
feeding off TOO late in autumn. Ac-
eording to my experience and obser-
walton, there is no severer drain on
the vitality of the plants than the one
occasioned by close cropping of pas
lures and meadows late in the fall.
The injury is especially pronounced
if the season chances to be very dry
one. The following spring the grass
will fail to start carly, and throughout
the season there will be a short crop
of hay and grass. There is not
doubt but that some growth is re-
quired in autumn 10 give grass the
strength for a good, fair start the sue
ceeding spring"

Making Poisoned Arrows.

A correspondent of Forest and
Stream describes the process employ
cd by the Indians of Arizona and New

time TO the manufacture ofthesc much

1884 l spent in Arizona and western

that time in the neighborhood of the
Comacho and Apache Indians. AS
wandered one day up to one of their
tepces, | perceived number Of In
dians standing around some newly
slain cattle. Being at all times in
search OF new things in the shape OF
knowledge, soon found out the
cause Of such preceding. The In
dians had slain two full grown beeves
and were taking the livcrs out very
carefully. When this operation was
at an end, a box containing several
rattlesnakes was brought and placed
on the ground near the almost smok-
ing chUncks Of liver. An aged buck
standing near by, who seemed fully 10
understand his business, procured
piece of blanket, and with its aid sue,
seeded in taking one of the largest
snakes out of the box. Then unfold
ing the blanket so as TO expose the
head OF the snake, he procured a
iorhed stick and pinned its head to
the ground, while another Indian
took Il small switch and tapped it on
the head until it was aggravated al
most beyond Endurance; then taking
IA chuDck of the still steaming liver
they let the snake bite it repeatedly
until it had turned to an almost pur-
pie hue, Then the arrow points were
thrust into it about one-half inch deep
and left few minutes. When with
drawn there appeared scum on the
points thus inserted. Afterward the

THE ADVOCATE.
MEANING of elunders.

Some people have an unfortunate
propensity to brood over what they
call the mistakes" of their lives. 1t
arises from false estimate of human
judgement and overstrained idea of
the responsibility of toeir actions.
A conscientious woman of middle
age wrote to friend II am glad to
be spared longer life, that may
spent il in repenting my past mis-
takes" To spend ones time in la
menting past mistakes seems the
worst mistake of all. Life is short at
the longest. There is little time to
dream of doing, less TO mourn over
what has been done. To act, to act
quickly, to act up to our best instincts
and highest ASPIRATIONS, is all we can
do. 1t is all that is expected. After
that our responsibility ceases, and the
final result belongs only to God.
The good woman above quoted had
always acted according to her best
Judgment. But, being human judg-
ment, it was fallible. Being human,
she could not foresee the consequences
of actions, but could only do as seem
ed right at the time. Now if she was
called upon to act to-day, what better
could she do than that? Then why
regret that she so acted before? ~
Examining into this matter of blum
dcrs little further, and particularly
in tracing the course of the mistakes
well meant" in our own lives,
when we look back upon them with
cooler understanding of later years,
we are constrained TO confess that the
''mistake" must have been intended
TO be there, as well as the correct ac-
ton, because the plan of our develop
ment mas included both. Continuing
to study clearly and deeply, we must
acknowledge that the mistakes and
errors nay, the very sins, when forsak-
Ell aud forgiven, have helped the soul
upward; that all have worked to-
gether TO accomplish the resul
sought; that they must have been put
there and meant so to be : and so that
our "blunders" were not bunders at
all, but although we sowed and wat
cred often amiss, there was always
some increase given which achieved
the good we aimed at but failed 10
reach.
Aud deepest of all we see that the
divine love, which saw the end from
beginning, bore with tender compass
sion to look upon our struggles, our
weeping, our disheartened signs.
ALI, infinitely greater it is, but like to
the love we bear our own children,
which is so deep and true that we ell
dnre to treat them harshly, and with
seeming cruelty behold their tears,
knowing surely that one day they
will comprehend altS the kindness

w to Resuscltate a
Drowning.
Person

The Cincinnati Lancet Clinic trans
lates valuable paper Of NJ. Laborde,
communicated to the Paris Academy
of medicine, on a new means of resu-
soitating a person apparently dead
from drowning. 1t consists in forci-
bly, drawing out the tongue, in press
ing the jaws apart and and in pulling
the tongue forward and backward in
an energetic manner. The value of
this manevre is due to its marvellous
effect on the reflex respiratory system
NJ. Laborde cites the history of two
subjects who were apparently dead
by drowning whom he restored to
life by this procedure, but believed it
would be imprudent to employ it to
the exclusion of methods Of artificial
respiration, notably that of Sylvester.
This consists in laying the patient on
his back OH plane inclined from the
feet upward, raising the shoulders
gently by a cushion placed nnder
them, with the head thrown back,
when the operator grasps the patients
arms Just above the elbows, repeat
edly raising them till they nearly
meet above the head, and then lower
ing them till they firmly press for a
moment against the sides of the chest.

No one ever says a good word for the
tall hat. 1t is reviled and abused on all
sides, and yet it holds its own against
all Corners with an immObility worthy
Of a better cause. Nearly all the syn
onyms-and they are many-adopted to
designate the tall hat are of disrespect-
full character. Men liken it to stove
pipe OF chimney pot; the name topper"
itself is decidedly lacking in dignity.
But though we are told that nothing
kills like ridicule, ridicule has wholly
failed to overthrow the dominion of the
tall hat. If the last man be an English
man, we can well imagine that his i'm

universe beneath the shelter OF a silken

Milford chronicle., 1892-07-29

Il is not the size Of the wheat plant,
but its vigor and healthy growth that
insures its vitality through the winter.
On rich soil it is often better to defer
sowing until late in September. There
is less Of leaf to draw on the root during
winter, or to be transplanted if the root
should chance to be lifted up by frost.
AS for the idea l*hat-4a-lla large growth
eeps the ground from deep
freezing, it is absurd, for every winter
frost penetrates always as deep as the
furrow, and often much deeper. The
small wheat plant has not struck its
roots deeply. When the surface soil ex-
pands it lifts these roots with it.
Early sown wheat, especially when
sown in a dry time, has roots that strike
down deeply. These are snapped when
ever surface thaw occurs, while the
roots are held below and the surfaces
freezes again. The top is then greatly
disproportioned to the root. It is a good
plan when wheat is getting large fall
Growth to turn in sheep or young calves
to crop the leaves. They lessen liability
toinjury by decreasing the top in case
the root is thrown out. Besides this the
tramping of the soil is beneficial. 1t
eonpacts It around the roots, and thus
compacted the soil is less absorptive OF
water, from which comes the chief dan
ger from winter freezing and thawing.
