Anybody want a yacht which can't all unless aim has the whole course? Despite the fart that half of the Cen tral American town of Colon nan been destroyed by Are Its name will not be Changed to Semicolon. A Boston contemporary affirms that a man la not necessarily weak Intel lectually because be Is unable to tie a necktie gracefully. Can this be true? Spain flu i la It would atanit without Eurwen assistance In the event of Amerh-an Intervention In Cuba. This Is the only thing It has learned In some centuries. One of the Items of keeping up Blen heim palace Is $4,000 a year for putty. The young Duke may have made a mis take after all In marrying a girl with only $.1,000,000. Murderer Holmes told Hall Calne, the novelist, that be had read a number of his books. Still, we don't think that Mr. Calne's books are wholly responsi ble for Holmes' crimes. ' Oom Taul Krueger announce that he will be unable to accept Secretary CliamberlaJn'a kind Invitation to go to London for a visit The old man hi a pretty smooth Boer. A cablegram announces that the Brit ish forces on their march up the Nile have taken Akcsheh. Never heard of the ptace before, 'but it evidently la a town which Isn't to be sneezed at. A Cleveland scientist has succeeded In photographing an editor's ribs. It has been rcHrted that he had aiao pbotogrnplied the editor's stomarti; but of course, there Is nothing in that. The reason the Prince of Wales has declared himself In favor of peace Is doirbtlcawi because he does not want to discourage Queen Victoria In her willingness eventually to rest there. Perrlne's new comet has been slan dered. It Isn't a bob-tailed affair; on the contrary, It has a tall 10,000,000 miles long. If there Is any doubt about that you can measure the tall your self. The Duke of Marlborough's English solicitor, In an Interview, says that he "sincerely hopes the American people will not regard his distinguished client In the light of a fortune hunter." Oh, dear, no; the Idea! This war scare may pass by, but It would tie well for the European powers to reflect that they need not expect al ways to get off so easily. Some time they will play with a war rumor a lit tle too carelessly -and there will lie trou ble. , The cable brings the Interesting In formation that a French scientist 1ms Invented an Instrument which he calls a "glanaary," for measuring the tongues of bees. We are glad omclod7 has found time enough to attend to this highly Important matter. Of all the English colonists on Amer ican soil the English sparrow Is easily the most Impudent, overbearing, and disagreeable. It has few If any re deeming traits. It drives away better birds, it bus no moral ebaracter, and It can't sing. It la the Russian thistle of the feathered tribe. Drive it out. The dynamite shells eiciiiiiciite with for naval dcfcinie at San Fran cisco are found to le entirely effective within a distance of three miles. This destructive agent Is a yet an un known quantity In warfare, but there is an Increasing dread of It among the Spanish troops In Culm. The British people consume every year $150,000,000 worth more of grain than they produce, and In view of ps alble war complication It Is proposed to keep not less than one yenr's sup ply of cereals on hand. When the Uni on can sing that he has the men, the ships, the money and the corn, he may be considered In good shape for nil contingencies. The Lieutenant Governor of Cali fornia recently died, and there Is no provision In the constitution or laws of the State for filling the vacancy. Ac cordingly, the Governor has appointed a man to the place under bla general authority to fill vacancies, and this un usual proceeding on hit part will prob ably be allowed to stand because there la no legal way to undo It The story of European rule In Amer ica baa been mainly one of oppression and bloodshed. England treats Canada with moderation baoaaas th United States taught her a lesson. But Cuba la still In the tolls, and the tyranny of foreign government la working her ruin. The Monroe doctrine means that there baa already been too much of thia curse laid upon the people of the new world. The bill Introduced l,n the Ohio Legis lature by Senator Garfield to prevent the corrupt use of money In election, primary as well as regular, la now a law. Candidates are limited to an expenditure, for personal expenses only, of not more than 9200', and of 100 If but 5.000 votes are concerned. The law will at least enable candidate to gracefully Ignore some of the de mands made upon them. It Is said that only three beids of fur seals are left In the world, and that these are threatened wltti early extinction. One statement about our Alaska seals Is that they consume every day 50,000,000 pounds of fish, mostly codfish. But there Is no scarc ity of fish, and no good reason why the seal should not be Intell'gently pro tected. When the last of any tritc of animals disappears th.it Is the Inst of It as far as this planet s concerned, and mankind should not stride the final blow without comprehending Its fuil meaning. Mr. Andrew Carnegie has written a letter to the Iudon limes In favor of arbitration of the boundary dispute with a fixed price upon such territory as has been settled by the British should their title be found defective. This will not do. If the Eugllsb have settled upon territory that does not belong to their nation all tdiey have to do la to get out of It or take out natu ralisation papers and become Venexue Ian dtlzemi. They have no right to a mile of Venezuelan soil. It Is a ques tion even whether under the Monro? doctrine fairly interpreted Venezuela has the right to sell her American ter ritory to a foreign monarchical nation under the prwwrure of briiiery or bull dozing. It would tie a violation of the spirit " not of the letter of that doctrine at least that America was for Americana. The Supreme Court of Illinois ha affirmed the conviction of Frank It. and Charles J. Meadowcroft, of Chi cago, for Illegal banking and has do dder In favor of the constitutionality of the law under which they were sentenced to one year's Imprisonment. A different decision would have cre ated surprise. The law was frame:! to correct a recognized and a growing evil. The Meadowcroft case was Its first test. They had a fair trial, were defended by the best lawyers money could hire, and were found guilty. They sought to escape the penalty for their crime through legal technicali ties. That they have not succeeded is matter for congratulation to every mini And woman who has a dollar on deposit In a bank in this State. The crime for which the Meadowcroft must suf fer punishment was neither more nor less than embezzlement. The funds they squandered were trust funds. Reckless of the consequences to them selves or their clients, with the during of confirmed gamblers, they plunged deeper and deeper Into the vortex of speculation until It overwhelmed them. They knew the law, but If there hud been no such law they knew It was a crime, morally, to speculate with the money of others which. If lost, they could not repay. The case Is par ticularly striking because of the char acter of the men. Neither was un adventurer nor a hardened criminal. Both were young, the bearers of an honored name, and favored by for tune with good birth and breeding, and high social connections. They ir herlted ample means for the enjoyment of life. With this they were not con tent. One step In the wrong direction led to another, ami at the end of the path stands an open prison door. To the lowest clusscs Imprisonment Is not a great hardship. The ordinary thief loses little else than his liberty when he dons the stripes. He neither knows nor cares for the respect of hk flliw men. It Is different with those llkj the Meudowcrofls, who have always thought the penitentiaries as Mug In tended for n Holder rai-e of Is-lngs than themselves. The Hum He of disgrace will be worn by them with Ween sut fertng. It Is difficult to avoid sympa thizing with these two young men, and they are to tie pitied sincerely. The woy of the transgressor Is hard, but It Is the one they cIksw voluntarily, nnd their punishment will lie a whole some warning to others. Ilyron's Pun. Byron was as fond of puns as Macau lay. In one of tiho poet'a letters sold In London the other day occurs this pass age: "I am living alone In the Fran ciscan monastery with one friar (a Capuchin, of course) and one frier (a bandy-legged Turkish cook I." Tills let ter sold for $00. It Is Interesting to note that there ar,s many signs poinding to a Byron revival In the near future. Big Pane.

"Did you ever charge through i thorn-apple thicket?" asked R. O. Jeardeau, the St. Paul conductor with a bitch in his step, for which he owes a chuuk of Confederate lead. "Our brigade had that experience,' he continued. "Dec. 0, 18tM, when we were about fifteen miles from Savan nah, we reached one of those dismal and seemingly endless swamps so often found in that part of the country, it nappened that there was a very good pike through that particular swamp. It was straight and narrow, On the pike the going was flrst-class. but step from It and down you went, We swung along cheerily In the belief that we would have comparatively free sailing to Savannah. Suddenly we ran upon trees that had been felled across the pike. The pioneers and en giueers, with their axes and pikes, were called to the front and directed to clear the way. They bad been at work only a minute or two when ahell came ten ring down the pike sing ing the old familiar song and exploded, killing several men and scattering the fallen trees more quickly than a regi ment could have done it with axes and pikes. The enemy had perfect range and made It, oh! so hot for us. We got orders to stand aside and let battery go through on the keen run. e felt that It was certain ruin to horses, men and battery. I remember saying: 'It Is a shame to risk the lives f such brave men and beautiful horses where they will have little or no chance for their lives.' The battery opened fire and Bent In a few shells, but was obliged to retreat. ' "Our colouel, the late General Fran els H. West, who was commanding the brigade, wal ordered to take three regiments and make bla way through the swamp, flank the enemy and charge his works. It wal Impossible to rid. horseg through that swamp, so the off cers went on foot, brigade commander, and all. Some of the time we were in water and mud up to the knees, and now and then a man would stumble In up to the armpits, rendering It nec essary for two or three of us to stop and pull him out. We were literally soaked and covered with mud when we emerged from that swamp, but quickly re-formed and started for the Confederate fortification. After going a few steps we came upon one of those fhorn-apple fields that was a veritable hedge, the bushes and trees being so close together that It was next to Im possible for even a rabbit to squeeze through. An officer reported to the brigade commander that they would have to abandon the charge. Colouel West, one of the kindest and mildest mannered of men, was furious at the suggestion, and ordered an Immediate advance, taking the lead himself. The thorns on those bushes were anywhere from an Inch to two Inches long and as sharp as needles. Volunteers were called for to cut dowu the bushes as tiest they could. "When the brigade emerged from that thorn-apple hedge, which was at least a quarter of a mile wide, and I don't kuow how loug, our clothes were torn In scores of places, and the trou sers of some of the men were actually stripped off to aliove their knees and tnelr legs were red with blood from numerous scratches. Colonel Wit wore a loug, flowing beard during the war. In golug through the hedge nearly all of that beautiful beard was pulled out and left for the wind to whistle through on many a thorn apple branch. We still had about 3ii yards to go before reaching the fort, ami most of that distance was through a rice. field, where the water was kuee-dcep. The enemy did not discover our move u i 1 1 1 we opened fire and were charg ing. They were so dilinfomiiled thai most of the force fled In dismay, 'leav ing their battery, many muskets, knap sacks anil other nrticles. We captured quite a numlier of prisoners. Our tall, handsome brigade commander, Colonel West, wns about the rnggedest, mud diest, bloodiest, most disheveled sol dier I ever looked upon when that eliarge was completed, but lie lmd led In one of the most remarkable short contests of the great struggle, lie had accomplished what his division commander scarcely hoied could be accomplished. For it he nnd his troops received the thanks of the division and corps commanders, and a little Inter the colonel was made a brigadier gen eral. "I saw several striking evldeuees of pride and bravery In that movement through the swamp and thorn patch. Charley Weed, our color-bearer, who was by my side, fell while we were going through the thickest of the thorn hedge. It was no time to stop am'. tKre for the wounded. I did not know how badly Cliarley was wounded. I only knew that the flag had fallen, and at once seized It and plunged ahead for the fort. A moment Inter some thing struck ma and knocked me down. At that Instant old Charley Weed snatched the colors from my band and resumed his place in the line. Instead of being wounded he had caught his foot on a root and fallen so as to partially stun him. He was furious to think that anyone else than himself should think of planting our flag on the fort. Hence the moment he came to he sprang to his feet, charg ed after me so vigorously that It knock ed me down. He was 6 feet 2 Inches tall aud weighed 2'J0 pounds. A man might as well have been struck by a ten-pound shot as to have Charley Weed run against him. As we reach ed the fort Weed jumped Into the ditch, but could not climb the muddy para pet. I stepped to his side, stooped down and told him to stand on my shoulders, which he did. I thought that the two of us spliced might suc ceed In planting the flag on the fort. I raised up with Charley on my shoul ders, but he could not yet reach high enough, so he gave a spring, which landed him on the fort, thus being first to pluut old glory on the captured works, but where was I? Struggling to recover from what I thought must be at least a broken neck, as a result of Big Charley's spring on my shoul ders. How rapidly I recovered as I looked up and saw the flag of our regi ment proudly waving over Fort Harri son! The day was won. How proud we were!" "How many heart-breaking things occurred In the war," said my frleu 1 Jeardeau. "Our regiment participated In the capture of Mllledgevllle. We had a right sharp skirmish, hurting them and they hurting us, some. While passing a church I noticed a woman and several children kneeling by the side of a man lying on the step In front of the church door. Boy like, I was curious and wanted to know all about It, and ran out to ask. The man over whom they were weeping wns dead. He was clad in gray, and as fine a look ing man as I ever saw tall, fair-faced, dark-haired. A bullet had gone through his breast, killing him Instantly. The body was still warm. He lay like one sleeping. The woman was his wife and the little ones his children. He had breakfasted with them only half an hour before. I never witness ed such hopeless despair as was ex hibited on the face of that new-made widow, the mother of those little chil dren. I have often wondered what be came of them. 1 hope God has al ways smiled upon them." J. A. Wnf rous, In Chicago Times-Herald. Running the Ratteries. Admiral Walke, who has Just died, was in command of the gunboat Caron delet, which, In the battle of Fort Hen ry, held the position In the front Hue of battle throughout the entire engage ment, eventually winning a decisive victory. Gen. Grant ordered Walke to attack Fort Douelson with the Caronde- let, and, although three gunltoats which had been ordered to Join In the attack failed to respond, the Carondelet went to the front alone and bombarded the fort all the day preceding the battle. He kept the Carondelet at the front In the two days' fight, his Iosm of officers and men exceeding that of all the rest Of the Union flotilla. At Island No, 10 Walke's bravery aud skill sent his name around the world. The gunboat flotilla was operating with Gen. Pope against the reliel batteries, and Island No. 10 was finely fortified, ml barred the passage or (,en. Popes tronjis. Pope had cut a canal through the swamp for his transports, but dared not attempt to go through while the gunboats were aliove the Island. Commander Walke volunteered to take the Carondelet through. Flag Officer Foote twice refused to allow the trial, saying It wns Impossible. (Jen. Pope applied to Secretary Stanton for two gunboats to make the passage. Before the answer en me a council of war was held and Walke offered to take all the resiMinslliillty for tne trial. Foote con sen led. At 10 o'clock on th nlnlit of April 4, ISlii the battle-scarred Caron- di-let, with her lKiilers burled In cord wood and her wheelhouse wound with hawser, started on her perilous mission.

THE Intensive Farming In Practice Two Uaea for Corncobs Our Barnyards Too Large Gypsum Not Good on Strawberries-The Dairy Cow. Results from a Quarter Acre. Two years ago I planted one-fourth of an acre in early potatoes. As soon as we were done working the potatoes we planted tobacco between the rows of the potatoes. When the potatoes were dug for market the stalks were carried off and the ground cultivated, when the lot had the appearance of a tobacco field, writ a correspondent to the Orange County Farmer. It was then sown to turulp seed, and after the tobacco was taken off it was a com plete turnip field. The result was fifty bushels of potatoes, average price $1 per bushel, $."); 4H) pounds of tobacco at 12 cents, $4S; forty bushels of tur nips at 30 cents a bushel, $12; total, $102, or about as much as would be realized at present prices from five acres of corn at eighty bushels per' acre, or seven acres of wheat, or four acres of hay. And yet th.i taxes wer.2 paid for only one-fourth of aa acre. This, In my opinion, was intensive farming. The best crop of corn that I ever rais ed was grown on a four-acre lot. on which the second growth of the previ ous year's clover crop was left standing and then plowed down. The ground was thoroughly prepared before plant ing, for I held to the theory that ground cannot be prepared after tne crop Is planted. The field was check-rowed, or marked two ways, and the corn planted very thickly, and, after it was cultivated eight or ten times with a cultivator, we went over the field and thinned down every hill to not more than three stalks. I do not think there was a vacant hill in the field. The re sult wns (00 bushels of corn ears (150 bushels per acre), six large two-horse loads of corn fodder and half a dozen loads of pumpkins, equal to about as much as is ordinarily raised on twice the number of acres. The next year the same field produced over 200 bushels of oats. , Uses for Corncobs. I utilize my corncobs in two ways by grinding with the grain, and by kin dling fires, says a writer In the Coun try Gentleman. The experiment sta tions have shown beyond discussion iat cob meal, when fed to cattle, is fully as valuable, measure for meas ure, as clear meal, owing, it Is pre sumed, to tne fact that the con so separates the particles of grain that the digestive s.Vrefclons of the animal can more thoroughly act on them. I also kindle my coal fires with them. By dropping a few chip of paper, and then filling up the stove with cobs, and when these are well on fiie, adding a few more, and on these Immediately pouring the hod of coal, I have no i trouble In klndllnor the hardest of cnul i we more or ,(WB also mv fll.Dlju where tlu.v mnL-o a liool rnntv l.itorwo fi,an any harwood fire.

Corncobs are enormous ly rlcfh in potash, their ashes contain ing over twenty-three per cent., but It takes a vast pile of colw to make a very small pile of ashes. The fUr.e of Barnyards. As the farmer in the closing days of winter Is busy scraping up the scat tered manure in his barnyard to draw away to the fields he will almost al ways admit that his barnyard Is larger than it should be. Our large barnyards !arfi ft r,'"e of tn times when stock was mainly fed out of doors, and the large surface, wns Intended to make it con venient for feeding so that stock would not crowd each other. Nowadays stock nrenll stabled at night, and nre always fed under cover, wanting less than by the -Id method of throwing the fodder on tne ground or In the corner of a crooked rail fence. Where stock Is kept tip at night It needs a very small yard for It to exercise In during the day. The practice of dehorning is also making It less niH'essnry to have large barnyards, so as to prevent vicious horned stock from killing or Injuring those that are weaker than themselves. The Dairy Cow. The modern dairy cow l an extreme ly artificial development, and aa suc'i should be entrusted on-ly to the expert breeder, feeder and handler, Just as a complicated machine Is placed in the hands of aone but wkllled mechanics. The best dairy cow Is of an Intensely nervous nature, and needs to be treat ed with gr.at conalderatilon, says M. U. P., in the Ohio Farmer. Kicking a cow Is a wicked habit that results in much loss. A cow kept in constant fear of being punlahed cannot prove profit able to her owner. Give the dairy cow a quiet, senalble, Intelligent keep er. Such a man'a services are worth money. Do not withhold food. It takes a good deal of food to produce a liberal flow of milk. The more food the greater the product up to a certain Mailt. Feed not only a liberal ratloo, but componnd the aame with rare, taking pains to have It well balanced, Of coume. It 1a always well to know Just which grain and fodder are mot easily and cheaply obtained, and aa much of these should be used as po slide without injuring the quality of the ration. Gluten and linseed mean) are now very cheap, and as they art exceedingly rhih, they can be profit ably mixed with bran and cornmeal in compounding rations that are no4 only nutritious, but of a quality tq produce excellent manure. Gypsum on Strawberries. It is not a good plan to sow gypsuta on 8tnrw4erries. It will usually an courage so large a growth of clorei that it will !e nearly Impossible to keep the rows clean en for the first year, Tlie gypsum has besides no special effect in making a large growth at the strawberry vines. The mineral fertilizer that strawberries most neeq Is potash. If this were applied mors frely the crop of berries will be large, and they will be of better quality and color. All the highly colored frulU need large suinrlie of potash. Apple Orchards aa Windbreaks. Wherever forests are cleared on there soon comes a demand for a windbreak of some kind to shelter buildings and stock from cold blasts, and to protect the farm from the severest winter winds. It Is a good practice to set an on-hard either on the windward aide of the farm or of the bouse and other farm buildings. It Is true the trees are bare In winter, and unless there Is a close funce to obstruct the wind near the surface it will blow under the trees nearly as strong as if no orchard wera In the way. This can be remedied by planting a row of evergreens on the windward side. This will also hold the snow from being blown away from the orchard. Most fruit trees suffer from lack of water in the summer sea son when they are perfecting their fruit. It Is abundance of water that enables their roots to take up the min eral plant food which is essential to seed production. It Is the lack of water that causes so large a proportion of fruit to fall soon after It Is formed. The time comes for forming the seed, and the mineral element needed la either not In the soil or Is unavailable, because there is not water In the soli to dissolve it. ,0.--, ,.-in ; ! Oats and Peas. One of the best early feeds for stock, especially breeding animals, may bs; secured by sowing oats and peas aon what thickly, either to be pastured of cut for soiling. For this purpose H la best to sow fully three bushels of seed per acre, while if the crop is to be grown for Its grain two bushels of seed Is a great plenty. The crop should be sown at different times, so that It will come 1n order for cutting in succes sion. Thin soiling crop may be grown on rich land where a later crop of cab bage, celery or other vegetables Is to be grown. Odds and Ends. One part acetic acid to seven parts water rubbed well Into the scalp once a day, will, It is said, induce a new growth of hair. To remove a grease spot from wall paper, hold a piece of blotting paper over the spot with a hot flatiron for a few moments. I Try tying a piece of stale bread In a white muslin cloth and dropping It In to your kettle with your boiling cab bage. It will absorb all the offensive odor. According to a wholesale furniture dealer, the best furniture polish Is made of one-third alcohol and two-thirds sweet oil. Apply It with a soft cloth nnd rub with another cloth. When your stove has burned red and your blacking won't stick to it, put a little fat fried from salt pork Into the water in which you dissolve your black-' ing and try again. Try chopping your bread Instead of kneading It so long. It Is a great help.; Put plenty of flour on your bread board and on your dough, when it has been stirred very stiff, and turn your bread often as you chop it. ' Try to avoid having the bread andj cake crack open while baking. This cracking on the top ts caused by hav-l lng the oven too hot when the loaf Isj put In, and the crust formed before the' heat has caused the dOugh to expand. ; You may remove the tightness caused1 by a cold almost Instantly by mixing! ammonia and sweet oil, or fresh hen's) oil will do, shaking it thoroughly and rubbing it on the nose and forehead. By adding laudanum you have a splen did liniment. ' Fruit Is not a complete dietary In It self, but It Is excellent to accompany a1 meat diet. The acid contained In the' fruits assist digestion, and It la for this reason that apple snuee should be served with roast pork or goose, the fat of which is rendered more assimilable by It It Is perhaps as cheap to buy cotton seed meal, to be applied directly on the soil, as to purchase some fertilis ers that are mixed. Cottonseed meal enters largely into the composition of fertilisers Intended for tobacco, and If the hulls are also used the land will receive potaab, phosphoric add and nitrogen In fair proportion, , )
