Cases Of Suspended Animation.

It is well-known that remarkable
cases of suspended animation have oc-
Cured, the fakirs or religious mendi-
cants sometimes allowing themselves to
be buried for certain specified times in
order to prove the reality of their
claims. Several instances of this kind
have been verified by credible wit
nesses, but one such case was placed
beyond all possible doubt by the pres
ence of q number OF witnesses of pro-
minence. In 1887 Sir Claude Wade,
then British Resident at the Court OF
Loodhiana, witnessed the performance
by a fakir of this feat. The man was
put into linen bag, the bag WAS put
into large locked box, which was de-
posited in cell in the middle of a
brick vault, every opening to which
was walled up and sealed. Asa supreme
precaution a guard was set, four sol
diers patrolling the sides of the vault
night and day. At the end of six weeks
the vault was opened, the body taken
out. and the most careful examination
by skilled English surgeons failed to
detect any sign of pulse or respiration.
The apparently dead body was bathed
and massaged by attendants of the
fakir, and in half an hour he was COM
pletely restored, and conversed with
those about him although IN a feeble
voice. New York Dispatch.

Women Journalists in lapan.

Women journalists are evident
ly becoming force in Japan, for
it was recently proposed in the
japanese Committee of the Press to
prohibit women from becoming pub
fishers or editors. These Offices, ac-
cording to this committee, should be
reserved for men not less than twenty
one years of age, and it was unani-
mously decided that the discharge of
such work by females" linen so de-
plorsbly behind the times would use
the detestable word "female," wher
women was meant, was neither be-
coming nor desirable. New York Sun.

HOW ROOTS ARE CROW.

The soil for roots should be quite
free from weeds, as the first growth
of these crops being weak the young
plants are quickly smothered and de-
stroyed. For this reason it is neces-
sary to SOW the seed in rows so that
the ground may be cleaned by the cul-
tivetor and hand wedding reduced to a
minimum. The rows are from twenty
four to thirty inches apart for the diff
ferent kinds, as mangles, having the
greater space. The seed required Is
from two pounds of rutabagas to six
pounds of beets or mangles per acre.
The rows are easily seen if machine,
either hand or horse, is used for the
sowing, and in this case a cultivator Is
run in the rows few days after the
seed is sown to keep the first growth
of weeds under. The rows must be
cleaned by hand and the plants thinned
out to distance of eight or ten inches
apart in the rows. This work is all
we'll paid for by the large crop, which
depends on clean land and frequent
cultivation. A fair yield under favor
able circumstances is 600 to 1000
bushels to an acre.-New York Times.

Hotel Hermisc.

One of the interesting studies IN
human nature about the city is the
man who lives in hotels. j do not
mean the commercial traveller, or the
man who is engaged in business OF
any kind, but the man who has nothing
to do but look around him and enjoy
himself. He may actually enjoy him
self, too, for all ] know. l hope he
does. He is interesting as an Illus
tration of what some men call enjoy
ment.
The fashionable hotels of New York
and questionable hotels, for that
matter, are the shelter of many men
who are not in business other than
the business of looking pretty and OBJ
serving the rest Of the world move L
do not say they are the homes OF such
men-thev merely shelter and feed
them.
In many instances this life Is that
of a hermit. Possibly a man ac-
customed to the wild, hilarious career
offered by a country hotel may cavil
at the expression in this connection;
but it is because such man does not
understand CITY ways. A year or two
ago well to do gentleman died IN q
New York hotel. He had lived in the
hosiery for years and yet not soul
knew him personally or anything be-
vond the fact that he paid his bills
promptly and regularly. He chose to
make no acquaintance and was salts
fed to appear to the hotel managers
as "No. 81. X" or by whatever num-
Der his room was designated.
The hotel management had changed
several times, but he lived on there, a
calm. unruffled existence. As guest
such a man is n jewel and, as may
reasonably be supposed, he was not
likely to be harassed by unnecessary
attentions. When he died and 1t was
found that he was a gentleman Of in
dependent fortune-the newspapers,
of course, making the discovery
some people marveled for day or
two and then forgot him. / recall the
incident now only to illustrate the
fact that IN a great city like this what
appears to be the most public life may
be in reality the most exclusive. There
are plenty of men living hermit lives
in New York hotels, as much Goas II

A VILLAGE OF FARM HOUSES.

The European system of Agricultural Lie
VIII BE Tried in Georgia.
An experiment. Is 10 be tried in Georgia
as the result OF recent discussion by tho
local press which has been very suc-
cossful In parts OF Europe. This is to
build farm houses in group as center
OF the farms lying about. Already
tract Of land twenty-five miles square
has been acquired at Floyd Springs.
Floyd County, and a company organ
ICED to control the experiment. Inc
causes which have led to the adoption
OF this system are deep-seated and lar
reaching. For years felonious assaults
have been on the increase in the South,
and 1t has come to the pass that pru-
dent men dislike to leave their families
unprotected on isolated farms while
they are at some distance away at work.
The chief cause is the depression In
agriculture resulting from the present
system OF insufficient culture over
wide area. The idea is to substitute
extensive farming and sell the surplus
land.
An equally important cause is The
lack of social fac lities on widely sep
hidtCu lhi ms CSptCAuAty NNAH'o
winter months, when the roads are
often very bad. Thus, OF racttwenty-
five miles squai o, there would be leo
farms OF 100 acres each, and as many
families situated at a village in the
center OF the tract, where they would
have all the advantages OF urban life,
with schools, churches, a postoiiice,
stores, etc, and at the same tina no
man would be further than two miles
from his farm, and could easily reach it
in twenty-five minutes. Thus all the
monotony Of rural life would be avoid
ed, while practically all OF its freedom
would be retained.
Similar movements are in process oil
formation In other parts OF the State,
ana from what can be seen this new
phase OF rural life is likely to extend
throughout the Southern States. 1t
will have a great effect upon crops, and
Is likely to curiail the production Of
cotton and increase grain growing,
frult-growlng and a variety OF agricul-
tural and horticultural industries. 1t is
rart OF the Floyd County scheme TO
establish a canning factory for the
preservation Of the fruit raised.

The Color ci Hair,

Doctor Deddoe tells us that there is
n direct relation between mems pur
suits and the color of their hair. An
unusual proportion of men with dark,
straight hair, enter the ministry red
whiskered men are apt to be given TO
sporting and horsehesh, while the tall,
vigorous blonde men, lineal descend
ants of the vikings, still contribute a
large contingent to orr travellers and
emigrants, says the Nineteenth Cen
fury.
The plumage Of canaries can be con-
siderably altered toward red or orange
by feeding them on n stimulating diet
of red pepper, and though this may
fail for human kind in general, some
thing might be done toward increas-
ing the pigment in the hair and give
hope to many melancholy owner of
gray locks.
Suppose for n moment that pro-
tectiye color like that which obtains
in the fields, woods and hedgerows,
ruled in the world of men, what an
amazing change would ensue in the
outward appearance of affairs. If a
]
rogue could but at will assume the per
feet guise of an honest man, and the
gilded wasps of society appear as ma
son or honey bees, or were saints and
sinners alike compelled to wear their
own unmistakablo livery, what a
changed world would this of ours be
If men like canaries or caterpillars,
could but change their complexion by
change of diet, mode Of life or pursuit,
then we might, indeed, imagine an
alderman, after years of calipash and
calipee, assume the hue and shape Of
turtle. Scrooge, the miser, after a
life of a secret boarding, would turn as
yellow as his guineas. Mr.. Carcass,
the butcher. would become as rubi-
cund as the beef on his stall, instead
of appearing as trim, dapper pale
face in a frock-coat, and Ferret, the
poisoner, as black as the black arts on
which he thrives.
But outside the limits of a night
mare dream no such world is possible,
We have to be content with q medley
of far more sober realities, where,
though white spiders" mostly come
to grief the confidence trick still
nourishes, and linen are mostly fools.

thinker, "of weak convictions, para.

HINTS on PLANTING FRUIT TREES.

HINTS on PLANTING FRUIT TREES
In most localities the planting OF
fruit trees will be completed. Better
15lnnt late than not ct all. Nursery
men dig up a lot Of trees of varieties
most in demand and heel them In.
This is done early in the season, and
has the effect of retarding the starting
of the trees, and they are ready for the
immediate filling OF orders. If trees
shrivel in transit, dig n trench, lay in
the trees, filling in the soil so that 1t
will come in contact with every part
of the bark. In five days, or week,
trees that are apparently past
remedy will become plump and quite
restored. After planting, place a
mulch over the root. A mulch is
any material that, placed on the soil,
will prevent evaporation; its action
being mechanical, many different sub
stances are used; litter, straw, marsh
or salt hay; leaves, with a little soil
sprinkled on, to hold them in place !;
chips, or tan bark and even small
stones may be used. After all, most
effective mulch is a layer Of fine dry
earth. This is secured by working the
soil of the orchard with a cultiyator,
or some other implement that will
keep the surface loose and light. 1t
will keep weeds in subsection
