An Old Man In Search of Science Flnda What He Sought, A farmer about fifty years old yes terday stopped a number of people on Monroe avenue to inquire his way to a gymnasium, and he was finally asked if he was going to take lessoii9 in boxing. "No, not exactly," he replied, "but I want to see a thumper." He was diiected to the right place, and after looking the establishment over he said to the proprietor: "I live out here about fourteen miles. I've got a hired man who has got so sassy that I can hardly live with him. He's too big to lick with a gad, and I've got to cuff him up to a peak. I want to take a lesson with the gloves, and when I go home I'll astonish John Henry with a bit oi science." One of the boxers about the pi act said he'd give a lesson for a dollar, and the old man peeled down to hi.' undershirt and put on the gloves. He was shown how to pose and how tc hold Iiis guard, and then warned tc •1 ook out for himselt "You play you are John Henry, th( hired man," ho said. "All right" "You've been fooling your time away, and I've called you a lazj coyote." "Exactly." ••You have sassed me back, and go for you like this—and this!" And the old man struck right and left and followed the boxer around the ring. He was doing noble work when something shot over his guard and hit his chin, and he went over like a lo,_ and laid there until they threw watei on him. Then he sat up, looked about in a daz3d way, and feebly in quired "What was itP" "John Henry hit you." "He did, eh? Then that settles it Here's your dollar, young man. and here's the gloves. If I'm liable to get such a lick as that I'm going home to tell the hired man he can boss the whol*? ranch and be-hauged to him!"—De troit Free Press. Why Women Are Nervous. Prof. Redom, the eminent German hygienist, declared in a recent lectmv that the nervousness of women is gen erally owing to twd9defects—anaemia, caused by the silly notion that a hearty appetite is unfeminine. and fresh-air starvation, accompanied by a lack of exercise. To their fondness for fresh air, their open windows at night, and their constant exercise, he attributes the greater beauty of the English women. ''The beauty of the German women," he says, "lies in their fa?e. with its changing and amiable ex pression. The beauty of the English lies in the whole body and in theii health. German women," he add.^ "are martyrs to an unnatural state os civilization, and if they would onh imitate the English, hysteria would diminish in frequency."— Philadelphia Call.

The latter system is whol ly impracticable so far as profitable farming is concerned, but drainage will not do away with the necessity of thorough culture. The best way to dry a spring-bottom 'cellar will be to have a good drain from the cellar. Then see that the drip from the eaves does not soak in, anil carry off the surplus water from about the house by surface drains. If the collar is spring}*, put in a blind stone drain at some little distance from tho house to cut off the source of the water, if you know where it is.—Farm and Home. SORGHUM CULTURE. A. Plant That Requires the Same Soil and Cure as Corn. Iu general it may be said that sorghum will thrive on any land that will rod lice a fair crop of corn, both plants requiring about the same soil and climate. The cultivation also is substantially the same, except that in its early stages sorghum {requires more attention than corn, being more liable to be choked by weeds. After having a good start sorghum is a vigorous plant, and will stand severe drought much belter than corn. With sorghum, however, not only the stalk, but its quality (as to richness of cane juice in saccharine proper ties) must be taken into account and this is more or less affected by the soil ns well as climate. Whilst, then, broadly speaking, land that is good for corn is good for sorghum, the bost results can only be expected from soil specially adapted to all the wants of the latter. Whilst cane-growers are generally agreed as to what is good and what is poor land for sorghum, there is some dis agreement as to what is the very best. Most cane-growers agree that sandy, upland soil is very good, and black bottom very poor the new land is good, especially the bright clay soil found in many sections on the skirls of timber land that any soil that is a mixture of sand inclined to limestone, and with clay enough to hold it well together, is very gool that, upland soil, moderately thick, with limestone subsoil, is excelcnl that poor soil is better than very rich soil that warm, dry soils, having a southern exposure and natural drainage, are desirable and that clay land gives good sirup, but not so large a yield. The soil, unless in good condition, should be manured in the fall with vegetable or rotten stable manure. This is especially desirable in clay lands. Land freshly manured yields poor sirup. Plow deep and pulverize thoroughly. By throwing into ridges the soil will be better affected by frost in winter, and will dry out sooner in the spring. In general, prepare the ground as for corn. D?ep fall plowing is very de sirable, especially for new land, as it will put the ground in good condition, and tend to destroy the weeds by winter freezing. If practicable, sheltered ground should be selected, as a safeguard against the prostration of the crop. The ground should be well prepared and the culti vation thorough, so as to destroy ail weeds. All extra labor put in during the early stages of tho growth of sor gum will be repaid amply in the in creased value of the crop. Special care should be taken that replanting may be required, 'since it is important that all tho cane mature at the same time. In the spring, after breaking up the ground by deep plowing, 'it should be thoroughly pulverized and made ready for planting by clearing off all weeds and litter. It should be put iu condi tion suitable for a garden. •We take leave of this part of our subj ct by adding (even if we but re iterate in other words what we have said above) with emphasis, plow deep, no matter how deep. The roots of the cane will penetrate several feet, and they need great depth to give the bes result.-— Bojghum Hand-Book. fou often hear a woman' say: "There's no nse talking," butshe doesn't think so just the same.
