AS for the baby, whatever rudi-


mentary arts he may develop, he
does not show the slightest possible
glimpse of the development of NOR
III sense. His notions of sleep are
simply inordinate. His times for
awakening are the small hours, when
all conscientious babies are asleep.
He then displays capacity for yell
ing, which otherwise could hardly
be expected from so minute an in
sect. At other times he reclines,
sucking his thumb in dim yearning
after 4 pipe, or doubling his fist in
lively anticipation of life's coming
struggles. A baby is generally born
looking extremely old. One almost
begins to speculate whether the Pla-
tonic theory of reminiscence may
not be true, and whether alleged ba-
by may not be some extremely old
gentleman who has acted rather bad
ly in another sphere of existence,
and has another mundane chance
given him. Babies look awfully old
and wrinkled when they are born.
Sometimes they look ninety, but |
have seen them look as Young as
eight-and-torty. In few days they
throw off the old existence, and are
fairly embarked upon this real sea
OF human life, where they will have
rocks and shoals and auicksands
enough before they can come into
any sort of haven. Yet there is
something maddening about baby.
Boswell is reported to have once
said to DR.. johnson: "Sir. what
would you do if you were shut up in
a tower with a baby?" | forget
what the response was. "Sir, you
are fool" suppose, or something
equally laconic and straightforward.
The suggestion is an awful one,
probably an impossible one; but
still the dread idea recurs-"What
would a man do if he were shut up
alone with a baby:''- Londou So

\ WESTERN NOVELETTE, Out on
the Union Pacific road, not long ago,
a kiehapoo Indian saw locomo-
tive coming down the track at the
rate Of forty miles an hour. He
thought it WAS an imported breed Of
buffalo, aud WAS anxious to secure
ii, 50 rs to take the prize at the an
nual exhibition Of the Kickapoo ag-
ricultural society. SO he fastened
one end of his lasso to his waistbelt,
and, when the engine got near
enough, he threw the moose nicely
over the smoke-stack Perhaps it
is not necessary, but we may as well
relate that the locomotive did not
stop. The engineer and fireman
witnessed the most successful at
tempt to do the flying trapeze made
by any Kickapoo Indian upon the
plains since the lst of last January.
There was an aboriginal funeral at
the next station when the engine ar
rived. The grave was not large,
for they only buried small piece
of copper-colored meat tied to Il
string and enclosed in a sardine-
box.

CAN A WIFE SUE HER HUSBAND
At the District Court yesterday in


the case of Mary Allen VS.. Henry II.
Allen, in which she sued him in
debt for money loaned him, plaintiff


alleges in her petition that defen-
dant, her husband, borrowed of her
one thousand dollars and then de
serted her. The husband demurred
on the ground that wife could not
sue her husband for debt. The
court overruled the demurrer, thus
decided that a wife deserted by her
husband can sue him at law for a
debt due her from him. Judgment
for plaintiff for 500. Hereafter let
deserving husbands pay up before
they depart. The defendant in this
case was some months ago the driver
of the Brady street omnibus. He
married a respectable widow lady,
and after getting all her cash, some
$4,000, bascly deserted her. The
unprincipled wretch is said to be
now living on the money he stole
from his wife.-D0reDpoW Guzette.

The Western Rural, through a cores
pondent, talks in this common-sense way
about saving in the fall what is so ueedful
in the spring-good seed corn.


II have a few words to say on this sub
ject to stir up the minds OF farmers by
way of remembrance. Some say we will
select our seed corn at the time of husk-
ing. guess it will get ripe and dry all
before frost this year Others think they
can select good seed from the crib in the
spring. Well, perhaps they may, but
think it is not II safe way. My plan is
this Go into the field with basket and
wheelbarrow, select of those ears that be-
Gin to ripen earliest, husk, leaving on two
OF three husks to trace it up by. Then
braid ten ortwelve ears together and hang
them across pole in a dry place. BY
the time frost comes, it will be cured and
no mistake You will have good, sound
seed. Try it, if you have not done so.
think one acre planted with good, sound
seed, is worth two acres with hall-trozen,
weakly stuff.

\ correspondent of the Rural World
recommends the following plan to those
wishing to build a permanent ice-house
1t would not be adapted to level land where
drainage is difficult: For ordinary farm
purposes, make an excavation ten by four
teen feet, twelve feet deep; dig trench
aud lay tile or some other material in the
bottom to prevent any water from stand
ing, which will melt ice very fast. Wall
up all around eight feet then put on your
centre, and turn a good arch over the en-
tire length Tie arch ought to be of brick
nine inches thick and four feet elevation,
or of stone twelve inches thick Put the
door at one end perpendicular; also Il
trap-doOr, rs in outdoor cellars; run a
tlue about four feet from each end to drive
off the heat and gas. Cover the arch with
earth to the depth of three feet and sod
over and plant clump of trees to prevent
the sun from shining on the mound. and
YOU have a house or cellar that will last
an age, and give good satisfaction. The
perpendicular door two by four and a half
feet is large uough for convenience.

There is no doubt now by our most in
telligent horticulturists about the practical
advantages to be gained by mulching the
surface of the orchard and fruit garden.
This should be more generally practiced
in iruit-producing districts, for it is the
least expensive and most effective method
OF protecting the fruit trees against the bad
results often following the frequent and
sudden changes OF temperature during the
summer and fall months when the surface
OF the ground is left exposed to the direct
rays of the sun. Again, when the mulch
is put two or three inches in thickness, the
surface soil is constantly moist and loose,
even when no rain falls for Il term of sew
eral weeks, and the trees or fruit receive
no check for want of moisture and food
under such circumstances.


My method is to cultivate the spaces be-
tween the rows OF trees in the orchard,
using Il small one-hOrse plough and culiva-
tor, running not more than two inches
deep during the early part of the season.
From the first of July | have put on Il
heavy coating of salt hay, covering the
surface rs far as the branches extend. AZ
ter this there is no more trouble with weeds
and grass. There may be Il few scattered
ones start up, but they are easily de-
stroyed.


Every fruit grower knows that two or
three weeks before the time OF gathering
the main crop of fruit, fine specimens are
| constantly falling off, or blowing off by
strong winds. When the ground is mulch
ed the majority of species are not bruised
or injured for sale. This saving alone
consider, pays me for the trouble of
mulchlnC The orchard


There Is only one serious drawback to
the application Of mulch; that is, the dam
ger OF the hay OF straw getting on fire
when rendered dry by continual warm
weather-N \. Tribune.

We have from time to time dwelt upon
the Importance of saving good supply of
swamp muck. The present season is IA
vorahle to a remarkable degree for labor
in the swamps, and a generous supply Of
this valuable material should be secured


As Il material for composing with barn
and night manure it is most valuable.
When thoroughly dried it is q grand ab-
sorbant, and if thrown behind the cattle
stalls will take up its weight in the most
valuable of fertilizers. Ifspread literally
over the barnyard, it also absorbs and
mixes with the animals droppings and
urine, and altogether affords one of the
most valuable fertilizer reservoirs on the
farm. 1t is of but little value when first
hauled from the swamp, but if seasoned
by the action of the sun and frost is ready
for use in a few months. Mass. Plough'm.
Year: 1870

A great advantage arising from steam
ing all the food for stock in which there
are liable to be seeds of any description,
is that the vitality of such seeds is des-
troyed, and the manure is freed from all
noXious weed seeds--a matter of much
greater Importance than it is considered
by cultmists generally. The chaff of our
grain crops, which contains most of the
foul seed gathered with the crops, should
be steamed to destroy the vitality of the
seed, ere it goes into the manure heap.
II not steamed before it is returned to the
land, it would be better to burn it, rather
than take such an amonnt of foul seeds
back on the land

The Northwestern Farmer talks of weeds
in this wise:


"Many varieties Of weeds will send their
seeds ont over wide area of land hence,
if one field or farm is to be kept clean,
all in that neighborhood must. One care
less, thriitless farmer may render the eff
forts of the entire neighborhood to keep
their fields clean abortive. He can readi-
ly grow weed-seed enough to supply all
his ncighbors and not miss it. Such II
farmer is public nuisance, and if public
opinionis not strong genough to reform him,
he ought to be abated by law No man
has any moral right, nor should he possess
the legal right to thus njure his neighbors
If he will not keep his grounds clean, on
proper complaint, the authorities should
send force into his field that should clean
it up thoroughly at his expense"

The grooming should be done in the
gentlest possible manner, particularly on
nervous horses With the brush in one
hand and the curry-comb in the other. to
remove the dirt from the brush, go over
gently but thoroughly, every part of the
horse. Get the dirt all out of the hair,
and off the skin. After the brushing is
done, take cloths and rub the horse
thoroughly, getting up friction that will
set the pores to work. 1t will make the
hair glossy. Old salt sacks are the best
rubbers that can be used. A supply of
these should always be kept on hand,
clean and dry. The feet should then be
washed ont and dried

States to harmonize all the civilizations on this
Continent and to advance steadily to higher
notions, carrying our neighbors with US, of the
social and political rights of man. 1t may be
q feather in the cap of the woman suffrage
advocates to know that this speech was
delivered on the occasion of the visit Of a

and, therefore, before the speech was made.

he addressed his words. D


Mr.. Seward has always had great, broad
ideas Of the future of the nation, and we are
glad to see that his sixty-ninth birthday finds
him fully as broad and grand in his ideas as
ever. He says that the Continent is becoming
every day more American ; that the practices
and opinions of the people Of the United States
are becoming the common practices and opin-
ions of tho other States, and that the Christian
religion and the influence of republican
government are destined ere long to blend all
the governments Of the American Continent
into one. Mr.. Seward is the very best author
ity from whom these sentiments could ema-
