If there was one man in college whom the llajah thoroughly and heartily detested, it was the captain of the boat-cluh. He had many faults; he was very tall and powerful, and delighted in contrasting the En glish physique with that of inferior races; by which he meant, among others, the Haiah's race. His man ner was abrupt and overbearing, his laugh loud and unmusical. In fact, lie grated horribly on the liajali: and it was merely the final straw, when, in the exhilaration of a bump supper full, as the llajah remarked, in dis gust, of cow and strong drink he called that gentleman, in playful chair, a unigger." The Rajah swore melodiously in Ilindoostauec, and I saw that he meant to be revengeil In thoe days, the entertainment of the Nebraska Loadstone created a furore. Everylwdy went to see her, and everybody came away convinced that she possesed marvelous powers. Her peculiar gift but everyl)oly re members the' details of the perform ance, and how the tricks were finally, one by one, exposed, so that her ad herents and believers were driven from one position to another, until at last they had to fallback on one single performance out of all those that the Loadstone gave, and maintaip that, on that occasion, at least, something unexplained and inexplicable did really happen. It is with the events of that particular evening that I am concerned. I think I can throw some light on them. At first, however, there were many believers and few skeptics. The Dean carefully pointed out that Plato nowhere denied the ex istence of odic force: and the bursar, who was generally suppose to be little better than an atheist, declared that Spencer, in one passage, impliedly as serted it; even the Warden, in his sermon, told us that it, was better,ac cording to liacon. to belie v two errors than refue one truth which was, to say the least of it, sitting on 1 he fence, llut none of these authori ties shook the robust skepticism of the captain of the boat-club. He knew a conjurer, and the conjurer had told him how it was done, and he was going to expose the Load stone. "Uut why haven't you?" I urged; "she's been here a week." 'He will not be too hard on her at first." said the llajah, with a little sneer. 'I'll bust her up this very night,' said Waterer. "I would have done it before only I was gated.' The excuse was good, and "Watcrer departed, full of boastings and self confidence, to gather together a large number of the noisy men, and make a pleasant party to "guy' the unhappy Loadstone. I stayed to smoke a pipe with the llajah. "Of course she's a fraud," said he; "and I believe that animal really has got hold of the right explanation." "I shall go and see it," I an nounced. After a moment's silent smoking the llajah looked up with a twinkle in his eye. "So shall I if niggers are admitted." After hall, he and I set out to gether for the town hall. "We found the first two rows of stalls occupied by Waterer and his friends. They were all in even ing-dress and had ob viously dined not in hall. The llajah and I seated ourselves just behind them. The room was full, and the feats were most successful; each was lollowed by general applause, broken only by some gibes from our friends in front. The latter grew so pro nounced that the Loadstone's man ager at last came forward and point edly invited one of the scoffers to submit himself to experiment. Now was "Watcrcr's chance. He rose in the majesty of his bulk, walked on to the platform, and said, in a loud voice, as he settled himself on a chair: "If the lady can move me one foot from this chair, 111 give her 25." The Loadstone advanced and began to paw him about in her usual fashion. Waterer, who was sober enough to have lost nothing but his shyness, was apparently too many for her. He was- immovable: and cries "Now, then! when are you going to hegin?"' and so on, became audible. Two or three minutes passed, and the Loadstone turned with a gesture of despair toward her manager. "I can't " she began. I jumped to my feet, crying: "Wait a minute! Look!"' For even as she spoke, there was what is scientifically called a solution of continuity between Waterer and his chair. Still in a sitting iosture, but sitting on nothing, he was, at least, two inches from the wicker work of the chair. I glanced from him to the llajah. That extraordin ary man was in deep, placid, pro found sluml)er. 1 jogged his elbow and pinched his arm; he showed no consciousness whatever. 1 looked at the Loadstone. She was standing motionless on the stage, about a yard from Waterer, with one hand out stretched 'towards him and her eyes fixed on his ascending figure for "Waterer was gradually, slowly, steadily mounting in his strange jour ney. He was now a foot from kis chair, still in a sitting position and up. up, up he was coing. Tne wretch was white as a sheet and gasping with fright and bewilderment Thunders of applause burst from the audience. It was again and again re newed; but the Loadstone did not, as her custom was, 1kv and smile in re sponse. She still stood motionless, and Waterer still ascended. At last, at a height fully twenty feet from the stage, he stopped. Simultaneously the Loadstone urave a loud shriek as she fell DacK into tne arms ot the manager and the Bajah awoke. "I beg your pardon," he said, politely; "I was drowsy. Anything going on?" "No; he's stopped now," I an swered, my eyes eagerly fixed on Waterer. The Eajah rose from his seat with a yawn. "There'll be nothing more to-night," he said; "let's go home." "Go home, man! with that before our eyes!" The Rajah shrugged his shoulders. "She won't do anything more," he repeated. "Look at.her; she's quite done ui)." And, indeed, the Loadstone looked half-dead as she gazed fearfully up at Waterer. Her demeanor was not that of a triumphant performer. "Do sit down," 1 urged; "we must see the end of it." With a weary sigh the Rajah sat down, sas'ing: "I'm not sure you will, you know." While we talked the audience grew impatient. However wonderful a feat may be, the public likes to have things kept moving. They thought Waterer had been in the air long enough, and there were cries of "That'll do!" Let him down!" Give us another!" The manager held a hasty confer ence with the Loadstone; he seemed to urge her; but she shook her head again and again, and would do noth ing but lie back in a chair and pass her hand to and fro over her head. The llajah looked at her with a slight smile. The clarmor increased. I think a sort of panic an angry panic seized the audience. "JJring him down! Bring him down!" they cried, pointing to the pallid Waterer, who sat as rigid 03 a trussed fowl. After another despairing appeal to the Loadstone, the manager came .forward and made a lame speech. Tlie Loadstone was exhausted with her Xmparalleled exertions. She must rest; presently she- would bring him down. Then Watcrcr's friends arose and ascended the platform. They walked about, they stood on one an other's shoulders; they made it clear that no cords held Waterer. A step ladder was called for and brought. Placed on a sturdy table, it just en abled a man to reach Watcrcr's feet. One mounted amid intense excitc- mont. Turning to the llajah, I ex claimed: "Look!" He was asleep again; and the Load stone stood stiffly upright, beckoning toward Watcrer. Slowly and grad ually he descended, leaving the man on the ladder grasping at empty air, till he sat again on his seat. The applause burst out, and the Loadstone sank back in a faint on the floor. The llajah awoke, and the manager dropped the curtain, hiding the Load stone, Waterer, and his friends from our view. "Give me you arm," said the Rajah; "I am tired." I escorted him to a cab and we drove home. The Loadstone gave no perform ance the next evening; she was too fatigued; and Waterer was absent from the boat and from the sight of men two days. When he reappeared he made no reference to his friend, the conjuror. He slunk about the college grounds, looking very pale and upset. I met him once, when I was with the Rajah, on our way to lecture. The Rajah smiled urbanely at Waterer, and said to me, when he had passed: "It's such a rude thing to call a gentleman a nigger, isn't it?" Waterer has not done it again. And the Loadstone never did the trick again. She took the twenty- five pounds, though. The manager called on Waterer and asked for a check. I think that incident pleased the llajah most of all. "It is a ready utilization of the unexpected,' he remarked, "which does our friend much credit." St. James' Gazette. Indian Ktmners. The Indian runners arc familiar figures in Mexico. They are employed by the Government to carry the mails among the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and make better time than any ani mal that could be employed. A run ner will carry from twenty to thirty pounds of mail and never be delayed by washouts and swollen streams, lie is always on an easy run that must carry him along six or seven miles an hour at the veiy least. He is nearly always dressed in white cotten cloth, which makes him a conspicuous figure against the somber green and black tints of the high mountain levels, and which, late in the evening, causes him to look like a ghost flit ting among the pines and firs and moss-covered bowlders that are strewn along the trail. The trails on the steep places wind backward and forward in stretches from fifty to seventj'-flve yards in length, in order to find a grade up which a heavily-laden pack mule can make his way. But the athletic carrier docs not run the whole length of thesu windings in descending a hill. He cuts off the corners at each bend by placing his hand on the edge of the trail and vaulting to the lower level whenever the two levels are nob more than six or seven feet apart. All the time he never gives up the the little dog trot that is carrying him forward so surely and rapidly. The carrier will in half an hour go down a mountain side that would take the best mule in a bullion train or the fleetest one ridden by the little Mexican cabal lero, the best rider in the world, half a day to ac complish. In ascending, too, the carrier has methods of taking the shorter cuts up steeper inclines, so as to gain time and distance every instant. Nitro-Glyceriae as a Mrdieine. "Do you know," said a well-known physician recently, "that there is a medicine called nitro-glycerine, which is as powerful in stimulating the vital organs as the explosive of the same name is in rending rocks and trees? It is used by doctors only when their patient is at the point of death, to revive the heart's action. And it operates in this way. There is a cer tain nerve which, in a healthy man's body, keeps the heart from beating too fast acts as a sort of brake; but when the body is diseased and the heart movement sluggish the nerve tends to stop the heart's action. Now the nitro-glycerine paralyzes the nerve and disencumbers the heart." Philadelphia Record. Who Can Secure It? N A fortune awaits the man who can invent or discover a substitute for leather. For every other article of dress substitutes are in regular use; but the tanned skin of animals, as a covering for the foot, and for harness, belting, &c", is without a substitute.

Va'atslBiag the Farm's Ferttlty. fT has always seemed to me, says a writer in the Practical Farmer, that the farmers of the United States used less reason in their treatment of the soil, than in any other thing they do. Few, in deed, are the farmers who will work a horse for any length of time without giving it sorae- 'nr thing to eat. That man who would expect a cow to supply his family with milk and butter, without allow ing her to have access to a pasture or feeding her, would be considered a fit subject for a lunatic asylum. No one cares to try the experiment of fattening hogs or cattle without ffood of any kind, except air and water. Yet these unreasonable ac tions would not be anything more or less than what is practiced by many, very many farmers in regard to their land. Year after year, immense crops of corn, wheat, hay, etc., have been placed on it to compensate for the plant food carried off. In other words we allow Mother Earth, from whom all the wealth of the Nation must como, only air and water as food. All do not do this, but the practice is common all ovor the Union, and those who follow it are more numerous than those who do not. Probably the cause of this de plorable condition of a Hairs can be traced back to the days when the white population of the country was confined to the eastern tier of States. Then it was easier and cheaper to move to the boundless West and set tle new land there than to maintain the fertility of that already settled. But now all this is changed, and we are compelled to turn our attention to improving the soil already in cul tivation for many years. First on the list of soil-restoratives is found stable and barn-yard manure. In the North, where manure sheds and covered barn-yards preserve the elements of fertility contained in it, and in the South, where the milder winters allow open stables to be con structed, from which the manure is seldom removed until io is scattered on the fields, and which preserve to a great extent the good qualities of it, stable manure gives more satisfactory results than any other fertilizing material. But it is a question whether, where the manure is thrown from the stables out under the eaves and allowed to leach there until it is hauled away, the benefits derived from its use are such as will pay for the labor of drawing it out. When properly cared for, barn-yard manure will always prove satisfactory, and the only thing that can make its use unprofitable is improper care. Yet care for it as we may, the fact still remains that the supply of barn-jard manure is totally inadequate to meet the demands of our farmers for fer tilizers, and necessity causes other means of supplying plantfood to be considered. This has led to the manufacture and use of an immense quantity of commercial or chemical fertilizers. Some ot the best farmers condemn in unmeasured terms the use of these, while others, who are equally as successful in their farming operations, advocate them. With me. they have always given very good re sults when used on wheat or grass, but not when used on corn or oats. Last j'earon thin soil, wheat to which 150 pounds of raw lione meal was ap plied, yielded four times as much to the acre, as it did when none was ap plied. This certainly paid us well for the use of the bone meal. But there can be no doubt that on many farms and in many localities, commercial fertilizers do not pay. So we arc compelled to seek further yet for an ideal method of restoring fertility to worn lauds. Pleading guilty to the charge of being a "clover crank," I think in the growing of clover this may be found. Go where we may and we will find nine out of ten clover growing farmers to be prosperous. Clover seems to possess to a remarka ble degree the power of making those who grow it, happy and contented. As hay, it has few equals and no su perior. A clover pasture is excellent. Turned under when green or dry, it will raise the productiveness of a farm faster than anything else. I am convinced that the best use we here can make of barn-j-ard and commercial manures, is to aid in se curing a good stand of clover and grass, depending upon them to bring up the fertility of the land. LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY. Tho Symptoms of Lamp Jaw. Farm and Home says, lump law or actinomykosis usually begins with a swelling somewhere about the face or the lower jaw. This swelling, which I is hard, increases in size slowly and if not injured in any way or opened with the knife may continue growing for a long time as a hard, more-or-lcss painful swelling. As the growth in creases it encroaches upon the sockets of the teeth (the teeth may fall out) and so interferes with mastication; this in turn affecting the animal's general health and condition. Sooner or later the matter (pus) that has Deen lorming witnin tne spongy tissue of the bone makes an opening for itself, cither through the mouth or externally at some point on the jaws, and from this time on, the case is one of a hard tumor of more or less irregular outline and discharging matter mixed with fragments of bone. The foregoing description applies to actinomykosis affecting the bones of the face and jaws; but the disease may attack anv of the internal or gans, or in fact almost any part of the body; the symptoms varying with the attacked in a given case. The disease, when thoroughly established, is practically incurable; and inasmuch as it may be transmitted from one animal to another, and from animal to man, cases should be isolated and handled with caution. Oil Meal .'or ttoek. A Smith Center (Kan.) subscriber of the Stockman writes: Will it do to 'feed breeding stock ground oil meal? It is claimed here that it will not as it will cause pregnant animals to loose their voung. I would like to feed some but if there is danger will not. Also will feeding the thresld straw and chaff have the same effect? Authorities differ on this subject. We are feeding it to cows but are care- tfL ' . "al ful not to give as much to those witt calf as those that arc not. nav never fed more than two pounds i day to those with calf and never hac any bad results so far. Would rathei feed oil meal than turn a cow looser to flax chaff where I could not tell how much she would get in the waj of small seeds.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN " Hotr to Craft. Anyone possessed of fair intelli gence and a good degree of care ma practice some of tho more simplt methods of grafting and with good CI I success, saj-s a corre- spondent in Farm and I Home. A grafted trc Fie. J. will usually bear in ffom two to five years, which, wi ti the certainty that the fruit will be true to name, gives it a great ad vantage over nursery stock. Scions arc cuttings from shoots of the previous year's growth, and should be taken from a thrifty vigorous tree. xncy may be cut in December or Febru ary, or, indeed, any time in early spring before the buds begin to swell. Or the cut tings may be made at Fig. 2. the time they are set, if the grafting is performed before the leaves appear. If they are not to be used at once, they may be kept for an indefinite period by placing them in a box of sand or sawdust in a dark, cool cellar. Good wax is made of four parts resin, two of beeswax and one of ytallow, which should be sim mered together and poured into w;itfr tt rnnl. Pull :inl wnrlf it N until thoroughly incorporated and of good color, and then make into rolls of convenient size. Waxed cloth is made by dipping strips of strong cotton cloth in the melted wax and hanging them across small sticks to harden. Grafting may be done at al most any time when the weather will permit the wax to spread a fig 3 freely. I have done the work as early as April 1 and as late as July 4. A beginner will do well to graft about planting time. There are many dif ferent methods, such as saddle, side, splice, whip or tongue, cleft and crown-gralting. The last two arc the most simple to practice, the most common and the most likely to be successful in the hands of a novice. In cleft-grafting, a branch is sawed off and the stump so formed split longitudinal ly across the heart. Fig. t,--!- j i illustrates a grauing hook which is useful for this; a is the blade, b the fig. 4. wedge and c the hook to hang it by. After the cleft is made, keep it open with the wedge (Fig. 2) until the scions are inserted. The scions should be cut wedge shaped in two ways, as in Fig. 3 and also in Fig. 4, which show a cross section of the scion. In this cleft one or two scions arc set, and the whole wound waxed over carefully. The scions should be the length aiioa0" two or three buds, aim ntieu 10 tne cleft in the stock, so that the inside or white bark of each Fig. ;". will unite with the other. If the limb is large, a small chip may be placed in the center of the split, that the scions may not be pressed too tight. A bud should not be left on the top of ascion, or it may shoot up and bear fruit the first year, after which it would be good for noth ing. Cutoff such and place a bit of wax over the end to keep it from dry ing up. A horizontal view of the completed cleft graft is seen in Fig. 5 and a view in perspective at Fig. G. The important points to secure success arc 1, a clean smooth cut upon the scion; 2. the perfect union of the two inner barks; 3, rapid l work, that tne cut parts may not long be exposed to the air. The only tools necessarj' besides the graft ing hook, arc a fine-toothed saw to cut off the stock, a sharp knife to smooth the cut and fit the scions and a small mallet. A little tallow used occasionally will prevent the wax from sticking to the operator's lingers. In crown-grafting no cleft is made across the stump. A small stiletto or bodkin is generally inserted between the bark and the sap-wood of the tree and when it is withdrawn the scion is pushed down in its place. The scion is cut very thin and sloping, the cut beginning opposite a bud where a shoulder is ofti lo aiiow it to rest more firmly upon the stock. It is not prolltablo to graft very large branches, as it lakes too long for the wounds to heal over, and too much of the tree ought not to be cut away at one time. The cuts should be kept waxed over for a year or two and all suckers removed. Crown grafting may be done later in the season, wnen tne baric mignt be stripped from the stock by the other method. Another advantage is that no wound is made across the stock, as in cleft-grafting. HOUSEHOLD AND KITCHEN. I'ints to Uonoekeepers. Always use a wooden spoon or fork to stir salads. The best way to fry apples is to halve them, remove core, put some butter in frying-pan and put in the halves, the cut side down; then add a little water and let boil dry; then fry. While baking do not open your oven doors only on a crack, as fanning in cold air makes the cake fall. To fringe celery, cut it in pieces two iechesiong, stick several needles into a cork, and comb the celery with it, or split it down into several parts with a sharp knife. Throw into cold water to curl. This is a veryappetiz- j ing relish, also, with vinegar, pepper, and salt. Always bake a tester in a small pan first, to sec if your dough is right: if your cake is tooe solid put in a few teasponnfuls of milk if too soft it will fall in the middle and be spongy or crumbly; add one tablespoon ful, or a little over, of flour. 1 vJSl t r J4t irSriLnrv V vytiop J w&A Bwralaf.for XttBteea Tears.
