The Indian Pa'sees.

The Indian Parsee number now in
all 90, 600 people They are and al
ways have been devoted subjects of Hen
Majesty, and we may attribute this as
much to certain sympathy with
Western methods of thought over
Eastern as to the fact that they would
rather be ruled by entire foreigners
than by those whom they might them
selves have conquered had fortune
favored them.
The Parsee, in the business of life
and in public connections, is enter
prising, emineltly successful, earnest,
and diligent He does most things
with ease, is blessed with intelligence,
has tact and adaptability, so that his
relations With all the different races
around hin are easy and happy. No
caste distinctions have made for him
his precision, rs with the Hindus.
Parsees as such are all equally well
born andequally favored of the Deity

to priest and layman alike. Any cen

tions When not medical, legal or

there's now some prospect of a return

GREEN MATURING.

The practice of green manuring or
blowing under green crops to improve
the soil is as old as the hills. The old
Greeks and Romans fertilized their
lands in this fashion, and it was prob
ably done by the Egyptians and Asyri-
ans before them.
Red clover is the crop generally pre-
ferred On dry, poor and sandy soil,
however, where clover fails, foreigners
use spurry, which is called the "cloyor
of sandy soils" If sown early, it is
said to produce three crops in one sea
son.
Sainfoin, which belongs to the legu-
minous order of plants, is largely used
abroad, but the trials made of it in
this country have not been generally
successful. This also applies to white
lupine, which is generally regarded in
the south Of Europe as the best of all
plants for green manuring Cow peas
seem to be the best American crop for
reuovating WORKOUT soils, particularly
if they are light and porous.

soApsups As A FERrI1IzER.

Soapsuds are valuable as fertil-
izer, both for the potash or soda OF
the soap and the matter which is
washed from the skin or clothing. The
skin wears quite fast, and the soap dis
solves the exfoliated scales from it, as
well as some other animal matter Of a
heterogeneous character. This soon de-
composes and evolves ammonia, as
anyone may discover by the Odor of
the waste of the washtubs if it is kept
e few days in the warm weather. Am
monia is one of the most valuable of
all fertilizers. If this waste of the
household is gathered IN any convent
ent receptacle and deodorized by
means of plaster added to it, or by
the addition of some sulphate of iron
dissolved in it, it will make the best
LIQUID fertilizer for flowers.

Crow DOGS Escape and Return

Judge A. J. Plowman, of Deadwood,
South Dakota, attained National re-
nown in 1888, when he defended Grow
Dog for the murder of Spotted Tail.
The memory of Mr.. Plowmnn's plucky
legal fight, in which he carried that
celebrated case to the United States
Supreme Court and secured the acquit-
tai of his red-skinned client when the
hangmau's moose was about to tighten
around the neck of the condemned
prisoner, still lives in the minds of the
legal fraternity throughout the West.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
Judge Plowman related an incident of
the trial which has never before APP
peared in public print.
"After Grow Dog had been sentenced
to be hanged" said the eminent jurist,

before the Supreme Court of the
United States. | instituted habeas

lease on the question Of jurisdiction.

nouncing that Crow Dog had escaped
from prison. returned to the reser-
walton after l had completed my bust
ness at Washington, aud then | learned
for the first time the cause which
prompted the famous Indian to escape.
IT seems that he was walking in the
corridor of the jail one day when a half
breed told him that he would surely
pay the penalty of his crime, and that
the Supreme Court would not inter
fere. This caused Crow Dog some I'M
easiness. He was quick to act. He
watched his opportunity to escape ali

the reputation Of being man with

voluntarily returned and gave himself
up, with the expectation Of going on
the scaffold. In response to the pes-
tion why he made the trip all re-
turned so soon, he replied thathe did
not want to die without seeing his
squOw and papoosc once more
events proved that he spent one
day at his tepee bidding bis family
what he regarded as a last farewell,
and then, with wave of bis dusky
hand, he mounted pom on his re-
turn trip to the Jail from which he
escaped. Crow Dog is noFOn the res
ervation, and at last account was hale
and hearty. He is hitting the pipe OF
peace and has no desire to wage war

ORCHARD DRAINAGE.

Orchard land needs TO have the
moisture drained off after the frost is
out of the ground. If well under
drsined, clay soil, underlaid with clay,
is best. It has been proved by oh
servation that ground so underdrained
is but little affected by long spells of
wet weather or by drouths, and sue
cess in fruit growing can be safely in
sured.
Whether level or rolling, each or
chard should have a system of tile
drains laid from three aud one-half to
four feet deep. Care should be taken
in laying the tile with regularity. Any
depression in the drain will be filed
with a deposit, and roots will find
earth to take hold of and thus give
trouble. American Farmer.

Tn planting trees for ornament on

Limbs to be used for grating in the

when the ground is not frozen. They
should be carefully kept where they
will neither dry cut nor be too moist.
