GOVERNOR TURNEY and his admin
istration is doing nothing, so far as
the public know, to tighten the bur
dens of the tax payer, by disbanding
the standing army of Tennessee.
The idea of keeping an army in the
field in time of peace, with open
courts and civil power unrestrained,
is a burlesque on the craftsmanship
of Tennessee Democracy, If we had
a Republican Governor and a stand
ing army, every Democratic paper in
the State would be demanding relief
for the tax payers. They are now
as silent as death on the subject.

Farming With Fire.

A new land-clearing machine has
been invented, the principle being to
root up all weeds and pass them at
once through a double blast fire bv
means of travelling engine. The
frame is mounted on four travelling
wheels, upon which steam engine is
fixed. On the right side of the engine
is blower and on the left is brick
hearth fitted in an iron frame, which
forms a fire retainer.
BY gradual incline the weeds are
elevated to the fire retainer, which is
kept up to great heat by blast from
the blower, and after passing the fire
the ashes are deposited on the soil.
The engine is said to be capable of
cleaning four to eight acres per day in
Il thorough manner, and at less cost
than is possible with hand labor.

the gentleman suspended the sugar

an inch. First the sagacious little
creatures tried to reach it by standing
on each others backs. After repeated
efforts all of which were failures,
they went away and it was supposed
that they had given up in despair.
Within Il surprisingly short time, how
ever, they were seen descending the
cord by dozens and dropping them
selves into the sugar-bowl. They had
scaled the wall, travcrsed the ceiling
and discovered another road to the

Hindoo Witchcraft.

All Hindoos believe in witchcraft, and
in strange contrast to the old believers
in witchery, they believe that young and
pretty maidens are the chief actors in
such uncanny mummery. If crops are
blighted, or if general sickness pre-
walls, they write the names of all the
young women Of the vicinity on sepa-
rate tree branches and then immerse
the stems of the twigs for four hours
in holy water and aromatic herbs. If
one or more of the twigs wither during
the specified time the young women
whose name or names is attached there
to is Immediately put to death. Thus,
the witch is counteracted, the crops
saved and health restored.

The story comes of thrilling adj
venture recently occurring to William
Johnson, a prospector. On Il trip from
Alamo to the broken country north of
Trinidad Pass, California; his horse
was picking its trail through dark
canyon when he was stunned and al
most thrown from his horse by u
mnHut,in lion that dropped upon him
from an over hanging tree. the
frightened horse plunged down the
canyon, and Johnson, twisting in his
saddle, mana yed to wrench the muir
derous claws of the lion from his
shoulder.
At this moment the horse saw
Sonora lynx in his pathway, and swerv-
ing suddenly aside hurled the lion
from his back directly upon the lynx.
The two beasts locked throats, and as
the horse emerged from the canyon
Johnson became faint from loss of
blood and became light headed, and
did not recover his senses until found
by his partner two days later on the
desert. After he had partially re-
covered the two men visited the spot,
but only few blood-bespattered boul-
ders marked the scene of the fray.

THE EARTH'S AGE.
Ways in Which 1t IS Calculated by Learned
SavantS.

S:tVantS.
The amount of lime salts in water
which drains from districts made up of
GRANTEES and basalts is found by COM
parison of different analyses to be on
an average Of about BIB parts in lOO,-
900 parts of water. 1t is further
assured by those who take this mode
of reckoning the age of the world that
the excess areas Of igneous rocks, taken
on an average throughout all gcolog-
ical time, viii bear to the exposures of
nine. From these and other more
complicated data it has been inferred
that the elimination of the calcareous
matter now found in all the sedimen-
tary strata must have been going on
through a period of 600, 600, 900 years
This, therefore, represents the mini
mum age Of the world. biologists
also conclude that the formation of
the Laurentian, Cambrian and silurian
strata occupied a period of about
200, OOO years; the red sandstone,
the carconiferous and the pncilitic
systems another 200 ZOO, 900 years, the
remaining Jo, 900, 600 years being taken
with The g.. ,:mation of all other stratas.
Thus We age led to believe that geo.
logical time has been enormously in
excess of the limits urged by certain
well-known physicists and that it has
been ample to allow for all the changes
which, on the hypothesis of evolution,
have occurred in the organic world.

GRAY HAIRS.
Aged Locks Do Not Always Indicate a
Decayed Cons eitutlon.

Aged Locks Do Not Always Indicate a
Decayed Constitution.
The fact that some persons begin to
show gray hairs while in their TWEEN.
ties do not indicate premature decay
of the constitution. 1t is purely local
phenomenon, and often co-exists with
great physical vigor. A medical jour-
nal says: Many persons; and others
who have suffered extremely, both
mentally and physically, do not blanch
a hair until past middle life; while
others, without assignable cause. lose;
their capillary coloring matter rapidly
when about forty years of age.
Race has a marked influence. The
traveller, DR.. Orbigny, says that in
many years he spent in South America
he never saw bald Indian, and scarce
ly ever a gray-headed one. The ne
gres turn more slowly than the whites.
In this country sex appears to make
little difference. Men and women
grow gray about the same period of
life. In men the hair and beard rarely
change equally. The one is usually
oe'iN eA sA"A 'ne oUAer Aoi ne'erai
years, but there seems no general rule
as to which whitens first.
The spot where grayness begins diff
fers with the individual The phil
osopher Schopenhauer began to turn
gray on the temples, and complacently
framed theory that this indicates
vigorous mental activity.
The correlation of gray hairs, as
well as it's causes, deserve more atten-
tive study than they have received.
Such change is undoubtedly indica-
tive of some deep-s Gated physiological
process: but What this is we can only
ascertain after more extensive observa-
tions than have yet been submitted to
science

First Wheat in America.

The first wheat raised in the New
World was sown on the Island of Isa-
bella in January, 1874, and on March
30 the ears were gathered. The foun-
dation of the great wheat industry of
Mexico is said to have been three
grains carried into that country by one
of the slaves of the Cortez company.
The first crop of wheat raised in South
America was grown in the garden of a

that up to 1868 wheaton bread had
never been used as an article of diet
by the people of Peru.
