HUMAN BURDEN-BEARERS Colomtiinn I'ark Carrlera Transport Harden oo Heavy for Mulen. The phrase "us strong as a horse' Is generally used hj perlsibcally. but It is no uncommon thing In somt ii.ndi for a whole class of men to lo required to lie stronger thau mules, or In any case to carry burdens which those much-en-durlnif animal would not be able to sl.iggci- under. .Mr. 0. P. Yeatmau, in an article in tlie ""nginecring Magazine on the difliculiies of transportation lu the tropics, tells some wonderful stories of the strength and endurance of the pack-carriers iu Colombia. He says that on some roads tbere are professional pack-carriers who make a specially of carrying burdens too heavy for mules. The traveler will sometimes see what appears to be an animated box. staggering slowly and painfully down tlie mountain-side ahead of him. As he draws nearer he becomes aware that distressing grunts are proceeding from that uncanny looking and mysteriously-moving box. It has no visi ble means of supiKrt, and when he come close enough to read such famil iar words as "Mason & Hamlin Organ Company," or the name of some other manufacturer of heavy articles, he wonders w here the legs are that sup port so weighty a burden. Not until lie gels ahead of that per ambulating I "ox does he see the short, sturdy ligiire that is the nioMw power of the machine. The man's muscles are splendid specimens of development. in his hand he carries a long, stout cane, wlili w hich he steadies himself on the slippery clay, and when fatigue compels him to rest, he backs up to the bank on ; lie side of the road, nettles the loner end of his load against tlie higher ground, and props up the upper end w ith his -.tick. Then lie Is free to slip off the plaited luaguey-llbre bands from his shoulders and forehead, and rid himself of his burden. Stranger still Is it to overtake a wom an pack -currier, her skirts tucked up to her knees, and lielow the skirts great knots ami masses of corded muscle in prominent view. It Is wise not to be misled by appearances into commiser ating tlie wrlnkbsl burden-bearer, and kindly remarking that her load Is over large for one of her years to carry. Ten to one she will answer contemp tuously, "oh, two hundred and twenty isuinds Is nothing. You uliould see my grandmother. She does carry heavy loads. I am not full grown yet." The traveler passes on with strange vision of what au old woman In such a land may be. The maximum weight for a man to carry is generally three hundred and tnlrty pounds, and for a woman three quarters of that weight. Two hundred and forty-seven and a half ixmnds is no trilie for a woman to cany up and dow n hill. Worst Kind of J.uck. "When ex Senator Thomas Filch livisl in Virginia City, Nev.," said the Western man, "he was unquestionably the finest orator on the Pacific sloiie. and tlie Im'sI equipped lawyer, with the IH.ssllile exception of the supreme indire. Steoheii .1. Kicld. Tom' wa-s the idol of every mining cumji lu thos ljiirts, where he whs widely known. One of his fallings, however, was his carelessness In money matters and his Intrepidity In incurring debts. He also had a weakness for cards and never inlawed au oiqwuluuity of getting In a game when convenient. One Sunday morning In .lune. 1874, Jmu Merry, a well known srtlng man in Virginia City, rose with the fitui and was am bllng down K slreot for his cocktail. In front of the Ora Kino saloofl he met 'Tom' Kltch. "'(Jood morning, Senator,' greb?d Merrr. 'ami what brtnirs you out oo early? " 'Oh, I've been up all nlgbt In game.' aiwwerwl Kltx'h with some acerbity. " 'Well, bow'd you come out?" querlod Merry. " 'Lost 2,5.T0,' retilJed tbe Senator, " That's Um bad, Senaitor; you must have played In 1U luck.' " 'So I did.' Mid Kltch, 'and Uie wont of U t .t0 olt was la cosh money.' " What He Meant.

The novel called "The Londoners," which Robert I lichens lias lately com- leted. is yet another new departure made ly in- auinor oi name, num which book It differs totally. It Is said to deal in not too serious a vein with society in London and at Ascot..

It Is neither profitable nur always en tirely safe to keep great numbers of bogs together. Besides the liability if disease getting among lliein, there is always a certainty that the stronger will crowd the weaker from their feed ing places, so that the Inequality in size will Increase Instead of decreasing. In every litter there arc always one or two weaklings that were born runts, and unless given a he-tier chance than tiiolr fellows they will always remain runts. Tbe best way to manage this is when tbe pigs are 7 or 8 weeks old, take out the stronger ones and wean tlieni, giving them plenty of the best fissl that can be got to make growth. Then the runts left to suckle the sow alone will In two or three weeks more lake a start that may make them as good as the others, so that In later life all can be fed together. No other feed, without the sow's milk, will no this, though such other feed should be given and the pigs be encouraged to eat all they can be made to eat. American Culti vator. Scedlinu Mru wherries.

Probably there will be no two plants exactly alike. They will differ in foliage, fruit, time of maturing, and In the manner of their growth. They may bear but slight resemblance to the plants that produced the sc:-d. There may be no variety bolter than that from which It. originated.

A grt many suggestions have been made) In favor of renovating the laud, and to secure Improvement at a small cowt by plowing under grwn crops. Of the crops recommended may be men tloni"d clover, cow pen, soja beans, rye and even com and millet. Tbere Is an other crop, however, which bos been somewhat overlooked, and wWch can be grown on almost any soil, and that la turnips. The turnip crop need not he planted until July, or even August, and it grows rapidlj, being off the land In a short time. On medium land from thirty to forty loim can be grown, and tlie tops are more, valuable tban the bulbs for turning under. Tbe Kngltan farmers grow turnips, allow sheep to feed on them, and turn them uuder as a raanurial crop. Turnip may be broad casted on well-preMired land, ustag plenty of seed, and will soon cover the ground. Crops are grown In that way In the Southern States, and the cost la but little, as they require no cultivation wheal the seed Is broadcasted. Clod Croaher antl Leveter.

Seeding with Oata. Oats are not reckoned a pood crop t seed with either with clover or grass. We have, however, bad fair succetw in sowing clover seed with oats by having, the land fall plowed, and merely culti vated in the spring. Only a bushel and a half to two bushels of oats should ls sown with grass or clover seed, but this sown early will start out and produeo as large a crop as a bushel more of oat- would bring if sow n a mouth later. This is really the best way to grow tbo oar (top every year. Tbe smaller amount of seed sown early stools more, and makes very nearly as great a growth of straw- with better filled heads than the plants that are crowd ed early In the season. American Cul tivator. The Garden us a Help.

Nothing so much helps to provide a varied diet as a good garden, in lutranirn i"a there will be lettuce, radishes and onions from sets, ami then in order will follow asparagus, peas, beans, sweet corn.
