When Mr.. Randolph was opposed by
Mr.. Eppes, who was Mr.. Jefferson s
son-in law, the whole power of the ad
ministration was brought to bear against
him. He had been exceedingly severe
upon his opponent at the Buckingham
court. Some of his friends counseled
moderation. The excl tement was great,
and serious consequences were appre-
hended. Mr.. Randolph told the sheriff
to make proclamation that he would
address the people. An immense thropg
gathered about the stand. He stood for
several moments surveying the crowd,
not a feature of his face changing. Aft
er painful suspense he began with the
following remark, which has frequently
been in print:
when was boy, my mother taught
me that the fear of God was the beg in
ming of wisdom. Since l became a man
l have found out that the fear of man
was the contamination of folly"
He then made a fiery onslaught upon
his opponent. Instead of moderation he
was more severe than he had been be-
fore. -Powhatan Bouldin in Century.

NATURE OF THE ELDER DUMAS.
Mime. Dorval, the Actress, Always Called
Him Her "Good Dog"

Mime. Dorval, the Actress, Always Called
Him Her "Good Dog"
did not meet the elder Dumas until
he was on the wane, but was acquainted
with him before he fell under the in
fluence of Adah Isaacs Menken. When
young, his hair was fair, then dark, but
when 1 saw him it was gray and in tex.
ture less woolly than the Negroes. His
lips were thick and extended from ear
to ear when he laughed, and his teeth
were uneven and set apart from each
other. He fattered himself that his nose
was straight. 1t was, however, lumpy,
with wide, strongly marked and culver
ing nostrils. To the pride of life he was
insensible. But he was a slave of the
flesh, though in fitful way, and the
never ending pressure Of creditors oblig-
ed him to react against his conviviality.
One saw that he was a force Of nature
and child of nature.
His small hands and feet and his sin
gularly acute though good natured blue
eyes alone indicated blood derived
from a long line of civilized northern
ancestors. There were traces Of Africa
in his speech. His laugh was guffaw,
but its hilarity was contagious. When
a case of suffering was made known to
him, his face at once fell, and if he
knew the sufferer the broad face con-
tracted, and he howled until he had
spent his grief. Nine. Dorval, whom he
and Victor Hugo thought the greatest
actress of her time, for emotional parts,
used to call him her "bon CHEN" and
her "gros CHEN" In the hour Of death
she did not lay aside this term of en-
dearment, which any one else would
have resented. He was doggish in many
respects, but of the generous, impulsive,
Newfoundland type. 1.-THE Elder Du,

Notes.

Grow a small plot in horseradish.
Simply place the roots on top of the
ground and turn furrow on them.
They will grow and thrive without fur
Their labor.
A writer in an English paper asserts
that only one steer out of every 200
shipped from the United States Is lost,
while from the River Platte from one
to twenty-five and from Australia from
one to over seven.
1t Is much easier to feed whole grain
than to grind 1t, but it is better to put
the labor to it than to lose in the feed
Ground grain can be more intimately
mixed with coarse food, and in that
respect 1t not only serves to balance
the ration, but the combination Of
foods cheapens the whole and more
perfect digestion results.
If your wheat does not appear prom
Using apply from fifty to 100 pounds
of nitrate of soda per acre upon it.
The effect will be quickly noticeable,
and the wheat will appear to take on
a new growth at once. The nitrate is
somewhat expensive, but the results
at harvest time will show that the in
creased yield will nearly pay for the
fertilizer.
Sow a patch of oats to be cut as green
food. The oats should be cut just as
the seeds are In the milky stage, which
arrests the nutritious matter In the
stalks and renders them palatabie.
They are cured the same as is done
with hay. Farmers who use oats in this
manner run them through 4 fodder
cutter stalks and heads and sprinkle
little cornmeal over them. They
are highly relished by cattle and horses.

RIDING ON A SUNBEAM,
A New Invention For Carrying Sound VIZ.
out Wires.

out Wires.
When walking through the laboratory
Of the Volta bureau with DR.. A. Graham
Bell, the inventor of the telephone. 7
picked up on one of the shelves pieco
of pine board about half an inch thic,
and eight inches square. Out of the cen.
ter of it extended a speaking tuha
which apparently rested against a thin
disk of bright metal sunk into the oppo.
site side. This metal was like silver
mirror, and was about as large around
as the bottom of tumbler. asked DR.
Bell what it was, and he told me that
it was "a perfected instrument whose
original construction enabled him IN
project his voice from one point to an.
other through the medium of a sunbeam
1t enabled him, in other words, to send
sounds along ray Of light without ths
aid of an electric wire. He took the in.
strument and put the tube to his mouth,
holding the mirror SO that it caught the
sun and cast little shadow disk Of
light on the opposite wall Then BY
breathing slightly he made this shadow
increase and diminish, and assume va.
rious shapes by the action of his breath
against the mirror diaphragm.
"That shows you," said he, chow
the action of the diaphragm is carried
along the ray. Now, if you will put
little bottle with some SCOT in it where
that shadow is ON the wall, and speak
into the tube, you will find that the
sound will travel along that ray Of
light, and by having a receiver connect
ed with the bottle one would be able to
hear what you are saying. We have
spoken by this means to and from points
200 yards apart. and there seems to be
no reason to doubt that speech may be
sent along a beam of light for great dis.
tances. In our experiment. in this we
first used selenium, very rare sub.
stance, and very sensitive to light. We
have found, however, that we can pre-.
duce very good results with common
SCOT, and the discoveries may yet be
made which will make such an in.
vention commercially practicable. -

pota.h Salts on Mnnure uoans.

The German potash salts are excel
lent applications for the manure heap.
They help to keep it moist, and they
absorb whatever ammonia the manure
gives off while 1t is fermenting. They
are much different In this respect from
caustic potash in the form of ashes,
which will liberare much ammonia be-
fore 1t is itself changed to nitrate.
The potash salts are so changed almost
Immediately, and when applied with
manure they furnish plant food that
can at once be taken up by the roots Of
plants and thus greatly increases its
value.

Early Lambs Not Profitable

] Unless making a speciality of early
lambs for the market, there Is no object
in having them come before April. By
that time the weather is warmer, the
grass has started, and the conditions of
growth are more favorable in every
way; and, as with all young stock, it is
quite an item to procure a strong, Wig
orous growth from the start.

A Practical Causeway.

The usual method of building a
causeway Is to lay down two rows Of
stone, to stretch fiat rocks across from
one row to another, ard to cover the
whole with earth. The two rows Of
stones soon work together, while brush
and other rubbish will work In and
clog tt, drain. A better plan Is shown
in the accompanying sketch, taken
from the Orange Judd Farmer
A few six-inch drain tiles are laid
down, and both ends are covered with
wire netting. The whole Is then COW
cred with earth to make the roadway.

Remedies for Neuralgia.

The following are homely remedies
for neuralgia: Boil a handful of lobelia
in half a pint of water, strain and
add a teaspoonful of fine salt. Wiring
cloths out of the liquid, very hot, and
apply till the pain ceases, changing
as fast as cold. Two large tablespoon
fuls of eau de Cologne and two tea
spoonfuls of fine salt mixed in bottle
hailed for facial neuralgia. Horse rad
lsh, prepared the same as for table,
applied to the temple or wrist, is also
recommended

Fatteninr Animals Quickly.

The old saying that time is money Is
doubly true with regard to fattening
animals. There is no profit in slow fat
tening of anything. The largest amount
of nutritious food that can be digested
and assimilated Is always the most
profitable for the fattening animal. The
food required for maintenance of the
animal to merely keep it in store con-
dItion is just so much wasted If no more
than this goes with it. This does lot
mean that fattening animals are to be
given food without limit. That will
injure digestion, and then, no matter
how liberal the feeding, the animal will
not thrive Old animals are generally.
fattened slowly. For this reason their
flesh is tough. But If they are fattened
quickly, as they may be by combining
some grain with succulent food, their
flesh will have the tenderness and
sweetness that are commonly associ-,
ated with the flesh of young animals.

choicest named varieties, and In the
whole lot there was but one that he
deemed worthy enough to be preserved.
This was the product Of cross be-
tween the Chinese Cling and Craw-
ford Early. He bestowed upon 1t the
name Elberta, in honor of his wife, ana
1t has In turn been an honor to its name
sake. Knowing something and hoping
more of its good qualities, he planted
extensive orchards of it, from which he
shipped large quantities of choice fruit,
and realized profitable returns. 1t was
not long before other peach growers
learned of the good qualities of the
Elberta and began to plant 1t; first in
the Southern States, where 1t had al
ready proved its value beyond ques-
ton, and then in the northern peach
growing sections. 1t has proved to be
one of the standards in all regions,
from Georgia to Michigan, and from
Connecticut to California.-American

The washings of poor uplands will fer
tilize the richer soil Of the valleys be-
low. But except where topdressing can
be thus done naturally by irrigation,
it will not pay TO topdress with poor

and it will trample and cut up the

The liberia Peach.

Among the whole list of peaches
both old and new, there is no variety
that has attained a higher place in pub
lie estimation than the Elberta. 1t is
liked equally well by the grower and
consumer. About twenty-five years

Too Early Sowing of Root Crops.

Too Early Sowing of Root Crops.
Most of the roots, like beet, carrot,
parsnip and turnip, are true biennials,
growing their root the first year aud
sending up their seed stalk after the
root has been partly dried out and is
replanted the following spring. But in
our hot summers this drying out which
usually requires whole winter, Is ac-
complished in midsummer. The result
is that the very early planted seed of
beet, carrot and other root makes it's
root growth early In the season and by
fall Is ready to send out a seed stalk.
This, of course, makes The root worth
less. The common radish is one of
thes, natural biennials that always
tend to becomeannual when early plant
ed. If seed Is put In the ground any
time before midsummer, 1t will produce
seed pods before cold weather comes.

Rich Soil for Early Potatoes.

In planting early potatoes there is
never any danger of making the soil
too rich. 1t will rot late potatoes to
manure very heavily, especially with
stable manure. But the early crop is
got out of the soil soon after it Is fully
grown and before the time for rot to
begin its work. One caution is to lie
observed, however, in manuring even
for early potatoes. Coarse, strawy
man1re or that which is apt to dry mp
quickly should never be plowed In for
them. 1t will keep the soil above The
furrow too dry, and this will often les
sen the yield more than the fertilizing
will increase 1t. If the season Is very
wet the manure will heat and develop
rot very early in the season, sometimes
even before the potato crop Is got out Of
the ground.

Warming Ground by Flowing 1t.

1t used to be the practice of n farmer
of our acquaintance to replow the part
of the garden yet implanted whenever
new piece was to be put to use. The
whole garden was plowed as eacly as
possible, and the parts devoted to peas,
lettuce, onions and other hardy plants
We're planted at once. When corn,
beans and the tenderer plants were to
be put in the ground was replowrd,
mixing the manure thoroughly with the
soil, and also imprisoning a new supply
of warm air from the surface In this
way the soil was made much warmer
for the late-planted crops than it could
be by cultivation without plowlng.-
