XEMIASKA LOADSTONE.
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."

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.
For flexibility and durability, "there's
nothing like leather."

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. While the qucstior.
is unsettled would go slow in the
amount fed pregnant animals. Tx
growing and fattening stock give
plenty.

" 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.

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

cleft in the stock, so
that the inside or
white bark of each

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.

A Plain Precaution.
.Either to adopt a plain precaution, one
lanctioned by experience and approved by
medical men, or to incur the risk of a malady
obdurate and destrustivo in its various forms
f intermittent or bilious remittent fover, or
dumb ajue, which ot tho two? For every
typo, for overy rhaso ot malaria, Hostotter's
Stomach Bitters ia a specific. It acts promptly
does its work thoroughly. As a dofenso
against the malarial taiut it is most effective
Emigrants to and denizens of regions in tho

Against the injurious effects ot exposuro,
bodily or mental fatigue, it is also a valuablo
protection.
Compression Extraordinary.
Tho method of supplying nvdlcincs to
military organizations is undergoing a
revolution. Tho medicines aro now
compressed into tablets, which occu-y
but a tithe of tho space formerly re uir
ed. Somo Idea of the perfection to which
this art of compression has been
brought may bo formed from the state
ment that If tho contents of the rogu a
tion 1 ght wooclon chest, about 2.1 inches
long, munches wide, 1754 inches high.
In which arc placed sixty s-jitaro bottles,
containing as many diflcreront kinds of
medicine, wero Ii juoliod, aid in tho'r
customary jars and bottles, they would
occupy nearly one-half tho space of a

Stothard, an English painter, was
noted for his certainty of hand. An

Stothard was showing some early
drawings from tho antique, mado while
he was a student of the Academy. They
were begun and finished with pen and
ink only, and Leslie remarked "that they
looked like beautiful lino engravings."
"I adopted this plan," replied Stoth

it obliged me to think before I touched
