Syrup from watermeIons.

1t was the wish of an old friend of
ours, many years ago, that she could
have syrup made from watermelons.
She was sure 1t would be very delicious
But, unfortunately, all the watermelons
the garden produced had each year 9th
er and more important uses than to
have their juices boiled down into
syrup. But an Iowa farmer, who grows
watermelons by the acre. and cannot
market all he produces. has tried the
plan of using some of his surplus for
syrup making The result is very
clear syrup, with peculiar but decidedly
pleasant flavor. 1t is not however
likely ever to be rival 20 the maple
the sugar cane or sugar beet. for pro.
ducing syrup for general use.-Ex.

The Longest Running Jump.

According to the latest authority on
sporting matters, the longest running
jump on record was made by John
Howard. in May, 1854, at Chester, En-
gland He cleared the astonishing dis
lance of % feet inches. using 5-pound
weights; but as he took from a solid
block of wood, ! foot wide 9 feet
long and inches thick. wedge-shaped
aud raised inches in front. the per
Torrance can not form record as
against jumps made on level ground.
The same authority declares that the
best American jump, with weights, was
made by Charles II. Biggar, of Guelph,
Ontario, in October of 1879 when he
cleared distance of % feet 39 inches.
Without weights. G. S. Reber. of De
trolt. Mich. in July of 1891, cleared a
distance of % feet 6I5 inches. and o.
b. Fry. of Oxford, England, In March,
1893, distance of % feet 6la inches.

Econom ring with Manure.

1t never pays TO stint the manure
dressing for any crop that requires
much labor to grow IT. All the labor is
made more effective in proportion as
the soil is made more fertile. In other
words on rich land crops that require
most labor may be grown with profit.
while on poor soil the balance will be
on the loss side of the account. The
proper idea of economizing with ma
nure is to apply it where it viii most
aid in increasing soil fertility. This is
In every case where n part of the bene-
fit of the manure will be soon applied
TO growing large clover crop.

Salt for wireworms.

A Canadian farmer reports that he
has experimental and found that salt
is complete remedy for wireworms.
On a patch of spring grain, he plowed
up and resolved all but one acre.
which he left for trial. He sowed
three hundred pounds of salt on this
acre, and forty eight hours afterwards
he sowed three hundred pounds more
The result is the wireworm has com

EFFECT OF AN ERUPTION.
eeopIe and Cattle Buried Under q
Shower of.Stones in the West indies.

People and Cattle Buried Under
Shower ofStones in the West Indies.
But the bombardment in some places
must have been terrible. | have seen
tracts Of land. once smooth and fertile
plantations, now covered with the great
rugged stones so that you have to pick
your way among them as you pass.
Many of them are four or five feet
broad or course, these are only the
larger stones; the little ones were bur
led under the Soil long ago.
Stones seem to have fallen all
through the eruption, sometimes IN one
place, sometimes in another. Not long
after the first expulsion of smoke, a
negro boy was tending goats on a hill
side; l have seen the place often. Sud
denly a small stone fell near him, and
then another. He thought that some
of his playmates were pelting him
from the bushes, and so began to throw
stones in return. But the contest was
too unequal, for 1t was the mountain
that was throwing stones at him; and
ere long he fed in terror, leaving his
goats to their fate.
have no space to tell you the whole
story of this great eruption; how many
plantations were ruined by the shower
OF stones, and. far worse, how fifty or
perhaps hundred people were killed
by them, with great numbers of cattle
and horses; how the lava damned
back stream and formed q boiling
lake, which broke through after a
month and came kissing down the val
ley, overwhelming a whole negro set
tlement; how ashes were carried five
or six hundred miles out to sea and
Bardos, eighty miles on, was darkened
by the cloud, so that people had to
grope their way at noon and use can
dies in their houses; how the explo-
sions were heard hundreds of miles
away, and II was thought that they
were the guns of great fleet or army.
But one thing must tell you. When
the eruption was over and people
could ascend the mountain again, they
found the crater-the one DR.. Bell had
visited-all changed. Instead of the
smoking cone, there was lake OF
/ water nine hundred feet below, filling
i the whole area, and so deep that no
/ one has ever been able to fathom 1t.
And beside this, separated from it only
by thin wall, they found a new era
/ ter, even larger; it was nearly mile
long, three quarters of a mile wide, and
/ eight hundred feet deep, with sides
like walls. That pit was blown out
I by the great explosion
+ l have stood between the two era
/ tiers, and looked down into them. The
new one is green and pretty now, with
bushes and ferns. and no signs of fire;
but the old one is a hideous depth of
gray green water, through which bub-
sbles are always ascending and burst
\ Ing into sulphur fumes at the top,
Sometimes the wind carries these
/ fumes over the neighboring planta-
Y tions for miles around, as II to warn
/ people that the old fires are not yet
extinct. l hope 1t may be long before
! they break out against. Nicholas.

Their freezing will be prevented, the
fruit that was green when the vines

The social features of farm life are
not as attractive to the young as they
should be. Town people make a study
of their social life. and they are con-
stantly working and planning some new
feature of pleasure and enjoyment.
The parents plan for their children
and their children's friends, and they
spend both time and money for the
advancement of social culture. Why
not incorporate more of this idea into
our farm life? It's surely worth try
ing

In solemn hush Of dewy morn,
What glory crowns the fields of cornl
A joy and gladness in the land
The 1.-the, green ranks of beauty stand;
Broad-acred wales from hill to hill
The lifted plumes and tassels Ill,
While birds sing in the cool, sweet morn
Through fields Of corn.
Like palms that shade q hidden spring
The reeded columns sway and sing,
The breathing censers swing Away,
The leafy cymbals clash and play,
And when the breezy voices call,
The sea-grown bilIows rise and fall,
And music swells and JOY is born
Through fields OF corn.
To fields Of corn the summer brings
The rustling blades, the eblackbird's wing,
The sharded locust's strident tune,
And idle ravens mocking rune,
The bobollnk's exultlng strain,
And cuckoo prophesylng rain
In low, sweet whistle in the morn
through neldS Oh corn.
In hammered fields OF corn unfurled
God grows the mama Of the world;
He waits to bring the yellow CLEAN,
The harvest song, the reaper's dreami
And still az through the Syrian gold
or Galilee, in days Of old.
He leads again this Sabbath morn
Through fields Of corn.

AT the congress of the deaf mutes
lately held in Geneva, the surprising
fact was developed that these unfor-
tunates in general disapprove of the
comparatively new labial system of
instruction which in many schools has
been substituted for the old method OF
digital signs. Many speakers, employ
ing the latter method, argued very
lucidly against the innovation. Only
one advocated it. The majority said
that the reading of the lips never
gives to the deaf mute an exact idea
of the thought or sentiment which it
is desired to express. 1t is to them
very much rs the reading of dead
language is to those who can hear, but
can only vaguely understand it. The
digital language, they declared, was
that which was most natural to deaf
mutes. These views are a great dis
appointment to many who have sup
posed that the teaching of the labial
system was one of the greatest booms
ever bestowed upon those who can
neither hear nor talk.

J Spain is having her hands full with
her colonies, exclaims the New York
Independent. In addition to the war
in Cuba there is considerable disturb
ance.in Puerto Rica, but more serious
still is the revolt in the Philippine
Islands. For years these have been
source of much revenue to the home
Government and very little expense.
The exports of tobacco and hemp, as
well as of coffee, cotton etc., have
been very heavy, and the Government
has been q curious mixture of Spanish
despotism and local self-government.
The original inhabitants have almost
disappeared; and the Malays, who
have to great degree taken their
place, are for the most part quiet, in
dustrious. inofensive people. OF late
years numbers of Chinese have come
in from Hongkong, and they and the
Mestizoes (children of Chinese fathers
and Malay mothers) form the most
aggressive element. A number of
these, it is supposed, in connection
with flibusters from Hongkong and
secret societies in Japan, perhaps
brought over from Formosa, have
taken advantage OF the small number
of Spaniards and the weak garrison at
Manila, have raised revolt, and, SO
far as can be learned from the meager
dispatches, have seriously endangered
the Spanish rule. Troops have been
