IN THE WILDERNESS* A Iliiuter'n Hiller Riperlenee In a Strange Country* To bo lost in an unknown country, with n storm coming’ on, Is a dangerous and uncomfortable situation. Only a hunter familiar with woodland craft, and possessed of courage and hardi hood, can hope to escape death or seri ous misfortune. A hunter who had lived for many years among the In dians went out on a beaver hunt and got separated from his companions. Tho snow fell thick, and the wind blew violently when lie tried to find his way back to camp, and he was sopn com pelled to admit to himself that return was impossible. As 1 had only a bow, arrows and tomahawk with me, and no way to strike fire, 1 was in a dismal situation; and, as the air was dark with snow, I had little more prospect of steering my course than X should have had in tho night. At length I came to a hollow tree, with a hole at one side that I could get into. I wont in, and found tho place not only dry, but about throe feet in diameter and high enough for mo to stand in, whllo a considerable quantity of soft, rotten wood lay at tho bottom. I concluded to lodge there for tho night. With my tomahawk I chopped off the branches of a fallen tree and set them against the opening, until I had it several feet thick all uround, with the exception of a space left to creep In at. Then I prepared a block that I could pull hi after me to stop this hole. When I went In I took ray tomahawk and cut down ail the dry, rotten wood I could get, and beat it small. W'itli this I made a bed like a goose-nest, and with the small sticks stopped every hide, until my house was dark. I took off my moccasins and danced In the center of my bed for about half an hour, till my feet aud whole body were agreeably warmed. Tho snow In the meantime had stopped all the holes, so the place was dark as a dungeon; though 1 knew it could not yet be dark out of doors. I coiled up in my blanket and bail a fair night’s rest. When I awoke all was dark. I could lieur the storm still rag ing, and concluded I would remain where l was. After a wliilo I tried to find the door, and, as I had nothing but the sense of feeling to guide me, the operation took sometime. At last I found the block, but it was hoavy, and so much snow had fallen on it that I could not move It. 1 was terrified. Of all the hardships I had ever endured this seemed tlia worst. I worked desperately, and at length, after what seemed hours of effort, I made my way out of the den. The only guide I lmil by which to steer my way was the trees; as the moss generally grows on the north west side of them, if they are straight. I went on slowly, and toward night came in sight of camp. IN A GARRET TANK. Peculiar Drowning Recently Discovered In New York City. Nellie Denman, a young woman of New York, was missing early on the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 10, 1875. The family of Mr. P. O. Iilake, with whom she boarded, visited rela tives In the country on the preceding Monday, and did not return to the city until the Wednesday following. Miss Denman was not at home, and her room was in disorder. On the sofa was her’blaek silk dress, and on the floor a pair of gaiters. Iler hat was on the table, and on the bureau were her gold chain and locket and three finger rings. The key of her room was found on the floor of the hallway, just outside the door. The door was locked. It transpired that on Tuesday even ing, the 9th, she visited her friend Miss Watkins at Second avcyjue and Second street, staying until 11 o’elook, and saying, as she bade her friend good-by, “This may be the last time that you will ever see me.” Miss Denman’s friend, Miss Raymond, visited her Mon day night in her room, when she was despondent and asked “Which was the quickest way to die—by drowning or cutting the throat?" And she gloomily talked of man’s duplicity, saying, “There’s nothing true on earth.” At 6 p. m. the owner of the building where the suicide occurred had his at tention called to the pipes throughout TICK DISCO VKRY. the building, the water refusing to run. He went to the top of the build ing, under the roof of which an im mense tank was placed. The tank was covered with a sliding wooden cover, lie pulled the cover back and sounded the tank with a pole. The pole met a large object and on draw ing it to the surface he found that it was the body of Miss Denman. The length of the ancient cubit, so often referred to In sacred and other writings of early date, varied accord ing to the race. Strictly, it was the distance from the elbow to the tip of the middle of the finger. Recent in vestigation psoves that the Roman cubit was 18.47 inches in length. The Greek, 18.2. The llcbicw varied from 24.34 to 22.08, the variations being due to age and locality. Some biblical scholars believe that Noah’s ark meas urements were cubits of about three Population of the World.

Unlei In RalHlnK Corn. 1. Soloct a rich, woll-dralnod soil, choosing old sod, or olso well seeded clover. Sod is counted oqual to fifty or a hundred loads of barn manure to tho aero. 2. Manure it in autumn or during wlntor by spreading finely or evenly with barn manure. Spread on sod in autumn manure is worth twice as much as spread in lumps in spring. !i. Plow at a moderato depth; five or six inches at most will bring more corn than eight inches. 4. Mellow tho inverted sod thor oughly with spring-tooth, disc; or smoothing harrow. 5. Soloct the best seed. Repeated selection for many years will im prove the varioty if continued in the same locality. (i. Harrow well just before planting; make the rows two inches deep; and plant in drills by running along the markings, which will place the plants slightly below the surface Adopt the same course with Check rows. 7. Run smoothing harrow or weeder five days over the whole surface both before or after tho corn is up, to de stroy all weeds before they appear, and continue till the corn is a foot high. Keep the surface of the ground flat. 8. Continue tho work with a culti vator {ill the corn Is breast high, keoping near the surface to avoid the roots. Avoid cultivating in wet weather, and thus crusting the ground and making hard cloda 9. In selecting the ground for corn each year, bear in mind that good rotation is a matter of great conven ience. A common good course is corn on sod the first year; oats or barley tho second; wheat tho third with clover; clover hay the fourth or more. This course may be variously modified in different localities. 10. In performing these different operations, it is woll to remember that young corn roots are more than twice as long as tho height of the plants; that no soil is too rich for corn; to plaDt when the ground is warm enough to start the seed; to de stroy all sprouting woeds before com ing at one-tenth of tho subsequent labor; to carefully select the best ground; and to pulverize the soil very thoroughly before planting. Adopting the best modes for raising corn is of no small importance in a crop of hundreds of millions in value, says the Country Gentleman, in quantity large enough to fill heavily and compactly a continued line of railway cars extending from Albany to Chicago—and one on which so many largely feed. Cabbage as a Field Crop. In many places in all parts of the country cabbage is a very profitable crop to grow for the general market for it can be grown quite cheaply where an acre or more is put in. The land should be thoroughly and deeply plowed and pulverized. After it is plowed it should be covered with barn yard manuro which should be well harrowed in. There is no danger of overdoing this part of the work for the soil should be in the finest possible tilth. As the plants should not be set until the last of June, this work may be done after the rush of spring work is over when there is plenty of leisure to do it well. If the land is plowed by the middle of May it may be harrowed several times before the plants are set; and this will destroy a large number of weeds and make subsequent culti vation much easier. When the plants are ready to transplant a cloudy day should be solected and the plants should be set in rows three feet apart and thirty inches in the rows, A boy should distUbuto the plants and a man can follow and set them quite rapidly. Tho best way to set them, that we ever tried, is to use a dibber made of the end of a fork handle, sharpened at one end. With this a hole is punched and the roots dropped in. The dibber is then forced into the earth an inch from the plant, and this fills tho hole in which the roots are, and simple pressure of the hand is sufficient to cover the new hole and exclude the air. This is tho most rapid way to work and is the best If no cloudy day can be taken for this work it can be done any time; and we have set out an acre of plants on a bright June day without watering them, and had them grow woll. They will wilt down and look pretty sorry for a day or two. but presently the inner leaves will stand up and tho plants will grow right along. After cultivation should be fre quent and thorough. Cabbage makes its principal growth after the cool nights of fall come, and a field that does n. PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON. Office over Biglln's furniture store. Calls promptly attended day or night.
