n Quarter as a Charm.

AS sympathetic young clergyman
walked up Hicks street he passed a
group, consisting of two little girls,
the one 10 and the other years of age
and a bouncing big baby boy tied in a
carriage. A few steps farther on he
heard resounding yell and, turning
found the carriage upset sidewise and
the baby boy roaring like mad, with
his head within two inches of a very
large coal hole, down which he would
have been thrown if he had not been
tied in his place. Rushing back, the
clergyman raised the afflicted infant
and examined it, expecting to find its
head broken. No bruises could be
seen, but it roared like whole menag-
erie.
Are you hurt. little one?" he asked.
No answer.
Are you badly hurt?"
The child only roared harder than
ever and the sympathetic clergyman
gave it a quarter.
That acted like magic. The infant
began to grin as it twirled the coin.
mo. he amt hurt" said the little
girl, calmly; "he often falls that way"

When Tennyson Was Staggered.

Little as Tennyson cared for society,
he was sometimes to be met in houses
which interested him, and one of these
was the Duchess of Bedford's in Eaton
Square, now the dowager Duchess. 1t
was at a party there one evening that
he saw certain great lady. of whom
he had heard, but whom he did not
know. He desired to be introduced to
her. or, perhaps-for his ways were
sometimes regal - desired that she
might be presented to him. In which
ever way it was, the ceremony took
place, and Tennyson's second remark
was this question: 80, Lady Blank,
do | know Lord Blank?" The person
about whom he thus inquired was a
Peer, who, though young, had won
much distinction in public life, and
was widely known in private. His
wife, as it happened, was devoted to
him and jealous of any word which
sounded like dispara cement of his
position or indifference to his renown.
She looked Tennyson in the face and
answered, with perfect composure OF
manner: 81 am sure, Lord Tennyson,
| can't say. | never heard him men,
ton your name in my life" For mo-
ment thep poet was staggered by this
straight hit from the shoulder, but he
had the good sense and good temper
g take it we'll.

Odds and Ends.

Diseases of plants are not due to
the weather, but the weather may be
favorable to their propagation from pre-
existing germs of seed.
The worlds visible supply of wheat
is now the largest ever recorded at
this season of the year. being. in
round numbers, 24,OOO,0O0 bushels
larger than one year ago.
Put little pine tar in the hollow
beneath the under jaw and around the
breast of horses and colts that run in
pastures where the small varieties OF
flies are plenty. These little pests are
sometimes terribly annoying.
One reason why yery~ much corn
should not be fed to growing pigs is
that the surplus fat thus produced will
check the growth of both bone and
muscle. The growth of these should
be uniform with the making of flesh.
Where a natural pond is located on
the poultry farm, by all means keep
ducks, for they are paying stock, and
spring ducks are in good demand all
through the summer. They are not
difficult birds to raise, but it is diff
cult to attempt to raise them for profit
if there is not pond near.
The refuse dust of tobacco factories
is good dressing for cucumber vines
and almost any other kind of plant.
Fortunately few insects like tobacco.
1t can generally be procured cheaply,
and is worth all it costs as fertilizer,
besides it's service in saving vegetables
from insect attacks.

DOG OF THE CIVIL WAR.
"Zlp" Met a Confederate Adversary
While Two Batteries Cheered.

II had a dog that followed me all
through the war, and was of great serv-
ice to me-" said Capt. Fred Smith,
member of the Old Veterans club that
was holding session in the rotunda
of the Lindell, according to the St.
Louis Globe-Uenaocr0t.
He was just common. 'ornery'
looking yaller' dog, but he had the
heart of a woman and the courage of
lion. | enlisted at Mattoon, and the
dog followed me there. ] sent him
back home, but he wouldn't stay.
"The captain took liking to Zip,
and when we were ordered south he
went along. Zip participated in sew
eral of the big battles of the war, and
in any number of skirmishes. He
would take up his position near our
battery of field pieces and bark deti-
ance at the Confederates.
"At Shiloh shell exploded within
ten feet of Zip, cutting off three inches
of his hushy tail. That an9ered him,
and he advanced on the enemy bark
ing furiously. The lines were about
500 yards apart, and shot and shell
were flying thick as hail. Zip ran for
ward fully 800 yards, and gave the
Johnnies to distinctly understand that
he allowed no hampering with his tail.
The Confederate battery also had
dog, big, lank mastiff, and he came
out to see about it. They didn't waste
any time sparring for an opening but
took hold in dead earnest. The john
aies stopped shooting and began to
cheer their dog. We did the same.
For fully ten minutes those two bat
teries stood silent while the gunners
watched the contest of the canine
knights, who fought as though the
fate of nations depended on them.
"'Sick him. Tige! Give it to the
Yankee son-of-a-9un" yelled the Con-
federate cannoneers, advancing in
front of their guns.
"'Go it, Zip! Rip him into ribbons,
Zip! we yelled, also advancing we'll in
front of our lines. A Confederate SER
geant threw rock at our dog, and
that brought on trouble.
keep your hands off that doe!
yelled the captain of our battery as he
hurried back and trained a gun on the
Confederate group.
That set both batteries to roaring
again. and beneath the flood of iron
those dogs fought on. | am sorry to
say that Zip got the worst of it. He
was outclassed, and, though he put up
as game fight as ever dog did, he
was sent to his corner loser. How the
Confeds did yell, and hoot, and howl
But we had our revenge. We socked
a six-pound shell into their dog and
blew him into sausage meat"

THE TRIALS OF A JUVENILE EDITOR.
Grave Difficulties in Announcing the
Death of Lafayette.

In the atlantic the Rev. Edward
Everett Hale thus speaks of some ex-
periences as a boy editor:
Of course, with type as much as we
wanted, ami all the other facilities for
home printing, we printed our own
newspapers. | do not think that at
our house we did it so much as boys
would TO whom the making up of a
newspaper was not matter of daily
observation, involving good deal of
errand-running and other work which
was anything but play.
But we older boys had the Fly. which
was our newspaper, and my brother
Charles, not long after, started tie
Coon in the midst of the Harrison cam
paign, which survived for good many
years.
| believe that the last issue of the Fly
is that which records the death of
Lafayette in 1886. We had not svpe
enough then to print more than one
page at time. Three pages of the Fig
had been printed and the fourth was
still to be set up when the news OF
Lafayette's death arrived.
Ibis was too good parag graph to be
lost, and we knew we could anticipate
every other paper in Boston by insert
ing it. But, unfortunately, the MS
had given out.
We had turned upside down all the
US we had, and they also had given
out. Also-still more unfortunately
printers in this sdilliculty--La lafayette
had chosen to die of an "intluenza," p"
which disease was at that moment as
serting itself under that name in
France.
1t had not yet been called '"la grippe, "
which would have saved us. We sue
ceeded in announcing the death of "the
good, generous, noble Lafayette" al
| though generous" needed one II and
one Il, and noble" took one of the last
MS.
The paragraph went on to say that
"the death was caused by" and the
last Il was devoured by caused. "
Then came the word "infuenza" The
| boldest held his breath for time. "
But we were obliged ANONYMOUSLY
to GO to press with the statement that
his death was caused by cold"
This was safe and required no and
| no Il.
Alas! in the making-up of the form
the precious of the word noble" fell
out; and any library which contains a
file of the Fly will show that its last
statement to the world is that "the
good, generous, oble Lafayette has
| died; his death being caused by a cold" "
Such are the eXigencies of boy printers
in all times.

Cabbages in Winter.

The best way to provide cabbages
for poultry in winter, at the least cost.
is to store the cabbages in the ground,
roots down, instead of burying the
heads, placing them close together.
and covering them with hay and corn
stalks. You will be surprised at the
excellent condition in which they will
keep. You can remove the hay, cut
out the head for the family table, and
then cut the stalk off close to the
ground, with its abundant outer leaves,
and place it in the poultry yard. 1t is
the training, not the freezing, that
Injuries cabbages. The main crop may
be buried with the heads in the ground,
if preferred, but Try a few with the
roots down.

Specialists Are Needed.

A gentleman who is we'll known in
Oregon as practical and successful
fruit-grower, says the Rural Northwest,
is making arrangements to engage in
the business of buying and shipping
fruit, making a speciality of prunes:
The interests of the fruit-growers OF
Oregon will stand in urgent need of
specialists in this line. The prune in
dustry is about to take on great
dimensions, and the methods which
have hitherto been followed in dispos-
ing of the prune crop of this section
will be found very inadequate to the
task of disposing Of the enormous
qualitity of fruit which will be ready
for market in few years. The gentle
man above referred to has made a sue
cess of the business of marketing the
prunes which he had himself produced.
and in so doing has established busi-
ness relations which will be greatly to
his advantage in entering the field
as regular buyer and shipper of this
! fruit.

Covering Strawberry Plants.

Mr.. Augur told at 4 Massachusetts
horticultural meeting that he likes to
cover the plants pretty we'll during
the winter, and uses from two to three
tons of coarse hay per acre for that
purpose. The plants do not suffer at
all when thus protected. while plants
exposed are more or less injured by
alternate freezing and thawing. He
stated further that he accepted Mr..
Woods idea of matted rows, provided
they are not allowed to become too
much matted. With any variety he
would set the plants three feet apart,
which would allow sufficient room for
all needed new plants. This seems to
call for great deal of work in prepar.
ing the ground, but that is done rap
idly.

4 Wonderful splnster Of Old.

Spinster Annie Maria von Schur- mann was the name of a woman who lived at Utrecht during the sixteenth century. She was so learned a woman that all men of science of that day con sidered her a marvel. She spoke Ger man, French, English, Italian, Latin Creek and Hebrew with equal facility and even understood the Syrian, Chal- daic, Arabic and Ethiopian tongues. Astronomy, geography, philosophy and theology were her special hobbies and she wrote many in teresting pamphlets on these sub jects. Aside from this she was a painter, sculptor and engraver of high degree and played and devised several musical instruments. She was held in high esteem by and corresponded with many of the prominent savants of the age, even with Richelieu, Queen Anne of France, Elizabeth of Poland and Christine of Sweden. She died unmar- ried at the age of seventy-two.

Later the astronomers couldn't keep within a billion miles of each other and the dis crepancies however slight from an astronomical standpoint were really 60 great as to render the calculations use' less for either scientific or practical purposes. The only purpose served was to convince unscientifc people that mighty little is known about'the habits and customs of comets.

Return of the Earring.

The returning wave of early Vie. torian incongruity has brought the re- vival of that relic of barbarian, the earring, which the common sense of the last years had almost stamped out. During the last two seasons even the insignificant earstud had ceased to find favor with the fashionable, but now the ominous presence of orna- ments in the jewellers windows for that feature which nature never in tended for adornment suggests that while the heavy pendants with which our grandmothers disfgured their ears may not again challenge public favor the revived earring will exceed the di- mensions of the single stone, simply set, now worn.

X Blind Scholar.

An example of marvellous industry and power to overcome adverse circum- stances is given by Max Meyer, who was born blind in Berlin twenty-eight years ago. He received his first in- struction from a teacher of the blind and later attended the Sophien-Real gymnasium, scientific college in Berlin. He was always among the best students in the college and passed a brilliant final examination. He entered the university of Berlin a few years ago to study mathematics, mechanics and philosophy. He took the degree of Ph. D. a few weeks ago, preparing a dissertation upon the differential calculus which excited the admiration of his professors.
