Tuber colosis is now admitted to be

It is the same with an animal as

be the result, because there is less

A Tennessee farmer made an applica-
tion of one handfulof ground sulphur
and the same of salt to about a peck
of ashes, mixed together thoroughly,
then applied it to the collars .‘of the apple
trees that 'were badly'afillcted with
the borer. He says the remedy killed
the worms and saved the trees. .
For working purposes the mule is
more economical than the horse. It
eats less,.and will do as much work.
Sickness among mules is an exception.
It costs less to keep them, loss to shoe
them—for their feet are much harder
than those of the horse—and they are
more patient than the horse. _
Start new plants if you want any

Happy is the apple grower, says the

Among the new and less known
points on insecticides are the following:
Mix pyrethurm with four or five parts
of flour. Gas lime water for the cab-
bage worm is made by rubbing the
inside of a cask with a spoonful of
gas lime and filling the cask with water.
Burning straw over the strawberry
plant for the tarnish plant bug has
proved quite successful. The effective-
nessof pyrethurm is increased by the
addition of alcohol.
Never use coarse litter, as it pays to
out it with a cutter, and the animals
will enjoy it better, while its fine
quality will render it more capable
of absorbing the liquids. All bedding
should be used as much for its absorb
cnt qualities as for bedding purposes,
and the labor of passing it through the
cutter will more than be repaid when
it comes to the time that the manure
is to be hauled, as it will then be fine
and easier to handle.
Apple trees are often starved in other
ways than by neglect to manure. The
apple borer leads to starvat' n oftener
than poor sell. The sup of food is
cut off by every move theiporer' makes.
Get the borer out somehow, even if by
wire and jack—knife. If not soon done
they will quickly get themselves out,
and after they have left be sure to keep
them out. Paper put on in May and
then tar-red with tar gas or printer’s

Insanity and Crime.
The relation between insanity and
crime is one both of cause and of effect.
Esquirol has shown an increase of
insanity and suicides at each outbreak
of the French revolution. Lumier
declares that the excitements of 1870
and 1871 were the more or less indirect
causes of 17,000 cases of insanity. This
simply means that the same morbid
elements, tending to prenounced.
criminality in another, is brought to
the front by the common cause. Very
frequently, too, both tendencies can be
seen in the same individuals. Marat,
for example, had attacks of maniacal
excitation, and- a passion for contin-'
ually scribbling. He had a sloping
forehead, was prognathous, had‘ a
prominent jaw and high cheek bones,
and 'a haggard eye, all of which corre-
spond closely with the insane type of
face. Later his delusion of ambition
changed into one of persecution: and
homicidal monomania. -Dr. Lembroso
cites case after case, all telling the
same story. He includes Guiteau in
this list, and agrees with the opinion
of an Italian alienist’ that his trial was
simply “scandalous.” The real place
for such beings is in a much needed
institution, an asylum for insane
criminals.

Old Mrs. Tiddlewig’s husband liked
his teddy and the old lady was violently
opposed to bibulosity. The other night
Tiddlewig came in slightly sober, and
his wife proceeded to talk to him:
“Now look here, Tiddlewig, you’re
drinking again, and I just won’t
endure it."
“Why, my dear,” he urged, “a little
toddy don’t hurt me a particle. On
the contrary, it- benefits me and makes
another man of me altogether."
“I know it does, Tiddlewig, and
that’s why I object to it so strongly. I
might stand your getting drunk, but
when it makes another man of you,
and still leaves me the wife 'of both of
you, it makes me out a bigamist, and I

A gentleman who listened to Sam
Jones in Cincinnati tells the following
as illustrative of the peculiar methods
of the revivalist: “He was delivering
an especially fervid address, and a little
old woman who eat well up inpfront
was constantly interrupting himlwith
shrill-voiced exclamations of “ Bless the
Lord!" “Glory Hallelujahl” and other
camp-meeting eccentricities. Jones
stood it for a time, but finally stopped
his addresls, and turning“ to the woman
said:
“Sister, enthusiasm is 'a good thing
if it is only genuine. But you remind
me of a little steamboat that used to

In Springfield, Mass, there are forty—

Mme. Catalani, the most famous

Some of the modern warblers are not so

‘One gets a striking idea of the magni-
tude of this country from the state-
ment of Rev. Dr. Barrows, that if the
entire population of the globe, esti-
mated at 1,400,000,010, were, divided
into families of five, the state of Texas
alone could give each family half an
acre of land to live upon.
In 1743 Miss Lucas, brought to
Charleston, S. 0., some Indigo seeds
from the West Indies, . which were
used as an experiment. This proved
sofsatisfactory that. several Carolina
planters turned their attention ‘to the
cultivation of Indigo, and"studied the
art of extracting the dye.
In the reign of Dunstan of England
a great deal was made of lucky and un-
lucky days. There'w’ere'certain days
when it would be dangerous to bleed
people; others when it‘would be bad
to sow seeds or to tame animals or to
begin any business, and other days
when it was fortunate to do any of
these things. It'may be fairly said
‘that these superstitions have not en-
tirely died out in our day.
Mosaics of broken glass, with putty
surrounding each piece and imitating
lead lines, is the newest device for
windows. It requirestime, and if we
'attemptto produce any design it also
requires taste and skill, but the indo

colors, crazy-quilt fashion. . The result
‘is prettier than the paper imitations of
“stained glass, and the work is" rather
amusing. '
The Prince of Wales beefdeclmed to
accept a testimonial of plate valued at
$12,500 from' the” Commission of the
Colonial Exhibition.‘ I-‘Artemu's' Ward ‘
reported that when h'e'wa's in London
they offered him a'ducal‘corOnct. “I
declined to accept it," added Artemus.
“I told them’to give it" to: the poor.”
Whether or not the-Prince _of ’Wales
requested that a similar disposition
might be made of the testimonial of
plate is not stated.
Spontaneous combustion is alleged
:in connection with a new and plausible
éexplanation of the destructive fires
occurrm' g in pine forests. The pine
resin exuding from the trees is often
of lens shape, and before it thoroughly
hardens frequently of crystallized clear-
ness. It is surmised that while in that
conditiona resin lens may focus the
sun’s rays upon some light twig or
resinous point, and so start "a blaze"
that quickly eats upla forest. _

_ Negro ”Medical Practice.
A peculiar set of' negroes, who rely
partly on their songs of incantation
for mercenary trickery, are the “ lizard"
doctors. Almost every. negro com-
munity "has one or more of these
quacks. A negro is'seizcd with some
acute disease, and, particularly if he
is bilious, is very apt to imagine that a
lizard is making havoc with his Vitals.
So the lizard doctor is summoned. He
makes an examination, sings one or
two “ charm " songs addressed: to the
lizard, then gives the patient some
simple emetic. After the medicine has
operated the fellow juggles a live lizard
out of his sleeve and shows it triumph-
. antly to the sufferer, whose natural
recovery is often surprisingly hastened
by thcnefiect on his imagination. A
higher grad“ e of doctors area class
of old black women called locally
“grannies,” who unite with their
medical practice some of the songs and
rites of the Voudcos in‘ Louisiana,
further down the Mississippi. “But
; these g‘rannies really know some scoret
