the difficulty.
The dance party at the Turf Hall
Friday evening by the Dancing Club

Slept for Two Years.

Michael Doran, who has slept for two
years has been discharged as cured from
the Binghamton, N. Y, State Hospital.
When he was sent to that institution, his
case puzzled the doctors. He had an un-
comfortable desire to sleep and his maps
became longer and longer. All efforts to
awaken him proved unavailing, and finally
he went to sleep and remained in SOM
nolent state for two years, his only move
ment being to turn from one side to the
other as though restless. 1t was found
necessary to feed him artifcially, and he
remained in this state until four months
ago, when the attendants noticed an occas-
ional futter of the eyelids. This lasted
for several days, and then as a man carry
ing bread passed through the ward he asked
for bread, the first words he had spoken
in two years. 1t was given him, and from
that time he recovered rapidly until he was
able to get out in the sunshine This
quickly restored the use of his limbs and
now he has been discharged as perfectly
cured of any desire to take long maps.

For ten days a fire ragged on the Isthmus
of Tehuantepec, Mexico. Over 20 persons
were unable to escape and were roasted to
death. The fire started ON coffee plan
tation, and owing to the dryness of vege-
tation it made rapid progress and was soon
beyond human control Great destruction to
growing crops was entailed. Many thous-
ands of acres of coffee trees, bananas and
orange trees were destroyed. Those who
met death in the flames were the families
of plantation employees. The fire was
finally quenched by heavy rain.
The corrected population of Maryland,
according to the Federal census, is ], 1873,

210 miles, of which 1860 is land surface.
There are, accordingly, about 12O inhab-
itants to the square mile. Rhode Island,
with 4O7 inhabitants to the square mile,
is the most densely populated State in the
Union. Then follow Massachusetts, with
not quite 349; then New Jersey, with
$50; then Connecticut, with 1885, then
New York, with 152; then Pennsylvania,

being only about persons to every 10

Cultivating the Orchard.

If the ground is so steep as to wash
badly while cultiyating the young trees to
get them we'll established, stir the soil
near the trees, gradually extending the
area of culture as the roots extend, and
leaving strip of land between the rows
uncultiyated in order to hold the land.
Fairly deep culture about the trees for
several years is important, as the roots
will instinctively avoid the pillow and be
driven into the ground; the trees will thus
be established more firmly. If the land
is very fertile, but too rough to be plowed,
good trees may be grown with dilligent
use of mattocks and hoes. Dig the ground
around them at least twice year thor
oughly with mattock This will in a
measure take the place of blowing. Light
hoes can be used to keep down the growth
of grass and weeds [ have some fine
young trees now seven years old which
have been cultivated in this way When
the orchard is not cultivated, how shall
we prevent such rank growth Of vegeta
ton as will injure the trees by taking up
moisture and available fertility ? We
should ever bear in mind that there is Il
certain amount of fertility in the soil for
use each year, and if it is taken up by
plants, what is thus removed will not be
again available until the plants decay.

it. I prefer the latter, because properly
managed it steadily increases the fertility
of the land; and it is not only less expen
sive, but may be even made source OF
moderate revenue. But more than this,
in great deal of our steep, rough land,
moving is impracticable, for labor saving
machinery can not be used Hogs with
rings in their noses, or better still their
noses split so as to prevent roofing, can be
used to a moderate extent. But sheep
must be mainly relied on, as they crop the
vegetation more closely, and prevent the
growth of weeds. Thus by proper man
agement you can in a measure accomplish
the impossible feat of "eating your cake
and keeping it, tool You should pas
ture your land so closely as to require con
feed to be given to the stock even
in summer, for the closer pasturing is the
best for the trees; and, by feeding bran
and shorts with moderate amount Of cot

add to the fertility of the land, these foods
being worth two-thirds their cost as plant
food after being used by the stock.

Light From an Unknown Metal.
From the Northwest Magazine


Residents of Boise City, Idaho, are very
much excited over the discovery of a min
eral which has Illuminating power. The
discovery was made by George F. Ayres,
a well known mining man of Boise, several
weeks ago in one of his claims about sixty
miles from Boise At the time he did
not think much of the matter, and there
fore, paid no attention to it. The further
he went into the mine, however, the
brighter the light became, until, after a
few feet had been worked, it was not nee
essary for him to use lamp. 1t was
then that he took some of the mineral to
Boise and had it examined by an assayer
Terry L. Williams, of Boise, who is in
terested with Mr.. Ayres, was in Tacoma,
Wash, recently and had piece of the
mineral with him. He will have an assay
of it made, and expects that its true worth
will be determined
So far we have not been able to find
any person who can tell what kind of min
eral it is, he said when exhibiting it,
''and it is for that purpose have brought
it here. There is large body of it at
the mine where this was taken out, about
sixty miles from Boise City. Mr. Ayres,
owner of the mine, found it four weeks
ago at a depth of 300 feet from the sur
face. He was running crosscut tunnel
to tap his ledge at this depth, when he
first struck this deposit.
cat first it attracted his attention by
giving forth dull light. As he worked
further in the light became brighter, and
at the end of three days work he was
able to go ahead without the aid of lamp
Then the mineral became curiosity, and
some of it was taken to Boise 1t was
examined, but there has been no one who
is able to fell just what it is
''Mr Ayres took piece of it to his
cabin and after night tried to make it show
light, but it was not 50 bright as it had
been in the tunnel This is attributed to
the atmospheric conditions and is undoubt-
eddy true, for in the experiments that have
been made with it in Boise we have been
able to reproduce the atmospheric condi-
tions in water that prevail where the min
eral is found, aud, therefore, it is not
thought that we will have any trouble in
getting the desired result,
$50 far as we have been able to learn,
this is the first of the mineral ever found
in the world All assayers to whom we
have shown it say they never heard of it
before, and they are not able to tell what
it is. We will go ahead and try to put it
to some use, and even at the present time
are reasonably sure Of success If it does
come out as we expect the mine will be
more valuable than we ever believed.
e'There is large body of the deposit,
and the farther we go in the stronger be-
comes the light. Another thing that we
are convinced of is that if it can be made
practical it will be perpetual light, for in
the throwing off of its rays there does not
appear to be any waste Of the mineral
Since the discovery there has been large
number of visitors in the mine and inter
est in the outcome is being watched by all
in the vicinity Of where the deposit was
uncovered -

Large Cracks in the Earth.

BUTTE, MONT, June 1.-The strange
sliding movement of the city of Butte,
which has been noticeable at intervals for
several years, has again shown itself by
five large cracks in the earth in different
sections of the city.
The largest crevice occurs on West Ga
lena street, where crack II inches wide
and of considerable length and depth has
appeared Three of the openings occurred
on the west side of the town and two on
the east side. There is no caving, but
distinct parting of the earth, and the
granite walls can easily be seen in them.
What is causing the strange phenome-
non is not known, but its continuance is
beginning to cause some alarm among the
residents of Butte.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
"something New Under the Sun


All Doctors have tried to cure CATARRH
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhalers

the same membranes that their makers have
aimed TO cure, while pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An old and expert
enced practitioner who has for many years

ment of CATARRH, has at last perfected
