The entertainment was not of the

Prof. Carpeuter is a man of massive

Touched with a sth:k th-y had used

Sitting down, the Professor told one
there was a pin in the chair, and he
started up with a shriek. Oihtrs,

present was Mr. Crisp, Speaker of the

was inictiT of cerem nies and pays
that Mr. Cr.i-p had been invited to be
piei-cnt, but not to speak. Mr. Crip
got wind of the fact that he was not
down on he programme for re
marks, and withdrew from the ban
quet hall greatly chagrined. JLs
friends charge that he was tleliber
ately and intentionally snubbed be
cause he was supported, by Tam
many for Speaker, while the Reform
Club is composed auti-su9ppers.
Some of them ko t-o far as to charge
that Mr. Clevelaud was concerned in
tne p'.au to humiliate a man who
was smmosed to train with the crowd
that fought his nomination for the
Presidency, and that this is the
opening gun in the fiht for the
Speakeiship in the next Congress
Mr. Fairchild Hays there were so
many prominent democrats present,
that all could not t-p-ak. It was r"v
euiy to leave some out and Mr.
Crisp happened to br one of them.
Whatever may have been the mo
tives which prompted the action, or
the justice of it, it bus created a great
sensation and public sympathy nas
turned strongly toward Crisp. When
he entered tbe'llou-e on Monday
morning he was given an ovation, by
members of both parties and of all
factious. The Congressmen feel that
the House was iusulled in the slight

STOCK, FARM AND GARDEN.
Poultry.
Chickens, like sheep, can not be
crowded together in large flocks with
out breediug disease aud becoming an
easy prey to death. In winter what
hens need most Is to be kept active
nd working, not sitting about halt
awake and failing to earn their
board, aa la the case among many
farm flocks in winter. (Scatter their
feed among a bundle of straw, litter
within the coops aad make them
t-cratch aud hunt for every morsel
they devour. This will waken them
up, stir the blood, and make them
reel as if they had life.
Keep the poultry house, the yards,
the clrcken coops and eveiything
about them clean. Allow no fctag
uaut water, n decayed or decaying
animal or vegetable matter, no filth
of any kino anywhere, about tue
premises. Every morning sprinkle
iome absorbent, dry earth, laud,
plaster or coal ashes (never wood
nshes) over the droppings uuder the
roost, and as often as once a week
remove the droppings from the
bouse.
. Linseed meal is excellent for . poul
try, containing, as it does, portions of
nitrogen that is of benefit to ftwis
it is not intended as regular daily
food, but once a week Ij not out ot
place. A spoonful to each hen is
about the proper proportion, once or
perhaps twice a week would be
amply mfficient, becoming, as it
does, a tonic to the system and bow
els, as well as a food. Wheat also
contains nitrogen, as does both sweet
or churned milk, both of which are
elegant for laying hens. These aie
elemeuts and foods that fowla crave
uaturally, and must have if they are
rxpecteu to do wtll. Iu the forma
tion of bone and feather and shell of
eggs lime is the most prominent
factor. The food, therefore, should
contain phosphates in proper quanti
ties. The oyster shell is one very
useful rood, or lime making mate
rial, and so easily gotten aud at such
a trilliug cost that the poultryman
who cannot supply his flock with
these does not deserve to have a
healthy flock, Dor ogga from his
hens. The essential elements of food
and materials instrumental in the
growth aud foundation of bone struc
ture are far more needful at times
than food, aud through lack of igno
rance the fowls are unwisely de
prived of them.
Horticulture.
The use of chemical fertilizers ou
fruit trees is getting to be very popu
lar. Mauy au orchard is fed ou fer
tilizers alone with a green crop like
clover plowed in at intervals. It
used to be thought that au orchardist
muft be a large herder of stock or
buy large quantities of stable mauure
in order to keep his trees thriving.
It was this or feeding grain to sheep
in the orchards.
The number of cold storage plants
in Ntw York and throughout this
country is continually increasing.
The method of handling perishable
products is growing iu favor. .
Despite the advice given by some
interested persons, we decidedly pre
fer spring to fall planting for giapes.
The same is true of raspberries and
blackberries. "Fruit trees may be
plauted in the fall, but, to procure
the best results, the roots should be
carefully looked aftr, making smooth
cuts wboro t o eui' nnpn
broken or mutilated. Unless this is
done they sometime begin decaying
before spring, while if they are cut
smoothly, tr.ey will, as a rule, call
ous over before the ground freezes.
It is well to do tree planting in the
fall because ot th6 pressure of spring
work, which sometimes makes it
difficult to accomplish in the spring.
Arbor-vi ties, to make a permanent
hedge, should not be planted nearer
than three feet apart with plants not
over 18 inches high, and should be
kept trimmed down to IS mcnea un
til the bottom is well filled in and
the plants are thick together. The
beauty or a tieuge is in us L-ase, ami
the height should not be over three
feet, except as a screen. Trees set
two f.-et apart wilt tniceu at ine
base poouer, aud if thf re are no trees
to hinder the outward spreaa ot tue
root there need be no fears that tney
will not last a life time. As years
pass on such hedges ne- d au aunual

mulcbed and properly tended. When
so planted and given proper care and
pruniug they will last 100 years. To
eusure long lif- the hedge should be
couic, and not flat on the top.
For celery, to be applied iu spring,
we would prefer old farm m-mure,
whether from horses, cows or both.
Oreen mauure is not desirable. Un
leashed wood ashes and fine bone
tb.nr fnnt meal) will make au exoel-
fertilizer urobablv as effective
as any of the usual brands.
Agriculture.
Hard work aud economy alone will
not make a farmer get ahead in tue
world. ,
Knowledge is power, in agriculture
as Iu every other occupation.
Farmers sbarpeu their intellects
by reading. They get new ideas,
irn all about new met' oda and Im
provements in agrlcultuie, aud the
literary part oi uieir ream us iu.t:n
ti.oin better writers aud talkers-
something greatly to be desired iu
this age, when our farmers are com
ing to Ine irout in puouc aun.
Statistician Dodge, of the Depart
ment or Agriculture, Washington,
declares emphatically and truly that
the average yield of wheat iu this
country is a disgrace to American
agriculture. It now averages ouly
about bushels to the acre; so low
is the figure that every thoughtful
farmer, as he reads it, hangs his head
in shame. Mr. Dodge is hoperul.
He says that the disgrace "will be
wiped out when our agriculture
emerges from its primitive stage."
How to maintain the fertility of
our farms 19 a problem that before
long will force itself on our atten
tion. It is the wisest course to solve
it before it becomes pressing, for the
old adage that "announce of preven
tion is worth a pound of cure" had
never a more apt application than
there. What to do to maintain the
fertility can in a general way be for
mulated iu a few brief rules: 1
Save every scrap of mauure, whether
produced in the stable or in the feed
lot. The era when it could be most
profitably disposed or by dumping it
in the river is gone, never to return.
One cannot fully appreciate the value
of this precious material until nt nas

straw and use for bi dding for the

It will make the cattle more comfort

manure iniurious to this soil." In
a wet season it may cause the straw
to grow so heavy that It lodges, and
in the dry season it miy make the
soil too porous to retain the necessa
ry moisture; but none of tbee objec
tions apply to corn. 5. Adopt some
system of rotation, so the same crop
shall not occur two years, or at least,
not more than two years, in succes
sion Id any given field.
Stock.
It la much better to keep stallions
where they can have free access to
open space, so they cau take exercise
at will. . Keeping them confined and
rubbing them frequently with a brush
oi cloth makes them irritable, and ia
the prime cause of so many of them
becoming dangerous.
Stockmen who are loudly proclaim
ing that there ia no longer any money
to be made raising stock should sell
out, quit the business and give place
to men who will eay the business,
properly followed, is as profitable as
it ever was, and who will make, their
words come true.
Under some conditions some kfuds
of stock have advantages over' others
which make it desirable to keep
them in preference to any other kind
of stock, not always to the extent or
making a specialty of them, but to
keep them when under certain other
conditions it would not t-eem so
desirable. There ia no class of stock
that will equal sheep for keeping th-
weeds and sprouts down in pasture.
They eat so much that other stock re
fuse that they are well worth keep
ing on mauy farms especially for
this purpose. They can on this ac
couut be kept on land that it would
be difficult for other classes of stock
to live aod thrive on. It requires but
a small amount of capital to get a
start with them, aud iu opening up a
new farm will help materially to
commence the income, consuming
much that would otherwise go to
waste, both in the pasture aud in the
stables. Just the Ldiruber of sheep
that can be kept poperly pan best be
determined by the size and nature of
thefa.m. A smaller num. er,' given
good care, vlll give a larger profit in
proportion to their size than a larger
number allowed largely to look out
foi themselves, but ou the average
Western farm it is ouly in exceep
tional cases that a small flock of
sheep cau not be kept to advantage,
both as regards profit aud the keep
ing up of the farm. While in the
pastuies they di-tribute their manure
more evenly than -with auy other
class of stock, while the mauure they
make in the stable stands next to that
or K)ultry for richness.
Hog-d rested veals are again to be
seen. This is a popular way of
marketing calves duriug the. winter.
They are thoroughly bled, drawn,
brads aud feet removed aud shipped
iu their skins. All the commission
merchauts, nearly, handle them.
If you have $100 to buy sheep, buy a
few good ones, rather thau a lot of
culls; do not let the butcher cull your
flock ; do not keep your granary full
of grain and not feed it; keep your
sheep out of cold storms; do not ex
pect heavy fletcej aud good lamb?
from ewes wintered ou straw. Pay a
good price for a good ram, rather
than have a poor one as a present.
The rarmer vho takes good care of
his sheep i - generally satirtied W'tli
the breed he nas, and the man who
starves his theep aud provides no
shelter for them ia aijwajo looking foi
some urnci Dreed.
Oil meal, coin meal and grouuu or
cut oats cau aiways be UBed to an ad
vantage with btan, especially witu
the milch cows. The amount that
cau be. fed must be determined by the
conditions under which they are fed
aud what is given them iu addition.
Too much bran is rather a detriment
than a beuefit, especially when cream
is an ,tem rather than milk aloue.
We have always found it a good plan
to feed the milch cows liberally. In
order to do this it is nearly always
nect-s-ary to make more or less ar-
rai.gements ahead, both the quality
and the quantity of the feed supplied.
Horses of too light weight for
truckt, and uot stylish enough for
carriage horses, are slow of sale at
low prices, and the substitution of
cables aud electricity as motive pow
er for street c trs still further reduce
the market for this class of stock.
A subscriber says he' has never
found a remedy for heaves equal to a
compound of egg", honey and viuegtr.
He beats three eggs into one quart ot
pure fruit vinegar, aud after about
three days, or when the mixture is
well together, he adds oue pound of
strained, honey. Iu tablespoonful
doses it can be given with feed twice
a day, or placed ou the tongue or tue
horse.

THE MISSING HAN.
The Inspection of the life saving sta
tion was finished, aud 1 was compli
menting the captain upon the efficiency
of his crew when it suddenly occurred
to me that one of them, whom . I had es
pecially remarked at my last visit, wa
missing.
'What has become of the man yon
used to call Harryr' I inquired. "lie
waa the strongest and handsomest fel
low I ever saw quick as o cat and light
on bis feet as a feather. U.-.s ho left
youi"
The captain looked at me aghast.
"What I Haven't you heard about itf
he faltered. "No? Well, it's qnite a
story. If you've plenty of time I'll tell
you about it."
I bad plenty of time and wanted to
hear tho story, so we sat down near the
door, and the captain began:
"I suppose you recollect that long,
tierce southeast gale we had last winter,
don't yon? Well, it blew from the south
east for two days, with heavy squalls of
snow. It was bitter cold. Everything
was covered with ico and 6iiow, and the
worst sea that 1 havo heard of began
tumbling up ou the rocks.
"On the morning of tho third day the
clouds began to break away and the
wind died down to a light gale. Almost
all of tho schooners in the roads got un
der way and started for Harchy harbor.
Some of tho smaller ones had to put
back, the pea being too heavy, but the
larger ones kept on, and I suppose they
made a good run of it. as the wind was
fair.
"That niylit it started in to blow as
its foundation. At 10 o'clock it began
snowing. The flakes were about as big
as a fifty cent piece, making it impossi
ble to recognize anything over five feet
away. Tlie snow fell until about 12. 1
think. After thut it slowly began to
clear up and the wind came in gusts of
diminished strength. At daylight it
was blowing a moderate southerly
breeze and tho sky waa clear. We
searched the shoro and sea for signs of a
wreck, but could not find any.
"I was juyt going to put tho glass
away when my eye caught tho waving
of something on Darning's island. As
soon as the glass was brought to bear 1
saw three or four men running around
there. I suppose they were trying to
keep themselves from freezing. There's
the island off there tho one that ii al
most round.
"Tho island rises about twenty feet
ont of tho water. Tho, cliffs are almost
straight up and down, with twenty-one
fathoms of water at their base. But on
the southern side there is a small beach.
which is bare at low water. From this
beach are projected two reefs that aro
awash at low tide. They form natural
jetties, and they are about fifteen foot
apart and parallel to each other. They
extend out from the beach in a south
ern direction for about two hundred
feet.
"I had the crew called, and every
thing was soon ready for starting. We
decided that the only safe way for us to
get tho men oft from the island would
be for us to go as close as possible and.
lying there, shoot the life line to them
and haul them through tho surf to th
boat. It was a rough way, but as there
was no other feasible plan we made
our preparations for its execution. The
only place ou which a boat could land
on the island was on that small beach,
and to get there we would have to go
between those jetties, and even in fine
weather it was a risky job with such .t
largo boat. With the sea then running
it was not to be thought of.
"As soon ns I had seen every arrange
ment completed ami the gear in place,
we ran the boat out of the house and
succeeded in launching her without
taking a drop of water on board. We
had a long, tedious pull. It was like
walking in deep, loose Bawl. When we
arrived at the hdaud we pulled around
it once, looking for the most favorable
position for us to work from. We de
cided that the mouth of tho jetties
would bo the best place. So taking our
station there we boated the two bow
oars, and Harry uncovered the gun and
got her ready for use. while Bill looked
out for the liue.
"The noise was simply deafening, and
tho eea was a mass of froth and foam,
as the waves dashed themselves on the
reefs. Seeing a big wave coming, and
looking as if it was about to break, 1
sung out, 'Stern all!' but owing to the
noise they did not hear me. and seeing
mo working as if for dear lifo at the
steering oar, they gave a stroke ahead
so that the wave would break astern
of us.
"That stroke carried us between the
reefs, and in the next instant the wave
was upon us. Its light green and semi
transparent sides towered high alvo ns.
while the foam on its crest overhung
the boat, threatening to swamp ns. The
spectacle was so awe inspiring that we
wero unable to move, but sat in our
places with our eyes fixed on this al
most irresistible mass. , Each second
was like an ago. Would the boat never
rise? She started to rise so suddenly
that she wa3 almost pcrp-licular be
fore we could realize it, imd we wee
thrown in a confused heap against the
furwurd bulkhead. We wero now afra
tliat sho would be thrown end over d,
and for a few seconds we hutig iu that
awful position, hurried along at an ln-credibl-j
filled. Theu slowly ti wave
began lo pa under us. aud as ocu 1
conld 1 grasped the steering' oar and
tcu.i her. When' the wat
had passed us w found ontielyei about

were broken. Before we could get the
spare set out the next wave was close
astern. Wo were forced to drop every
thing and hold on for life. 1 had my
feet jammed in the straps and laid her
fair so that the wave would be broken on
the stern. It broke, however, just be
fore it reached us, and in a mass of
foam. Our boat waa filled with water
and we were thrown on the beach.
"Fortunately no one was hurt and
the boat was not injured. The sudden
ness of it all, for it happened in a very
short time, rather dazed ns, but we
were thankful for having landed so
easily.
"We bailed the boat out and soon had
her ready for launching again. But
now came the question, How can we get
her off? We could not row. as the
blades of tho oars would not ratch ou
the rocks. They slipped over tho slimy
surface and gave ns no purchase. We
could not remain indecisive, as the tide
was rising and tho beach would soon be
covered. We placed the shipwrecked
crew in the boat and endeavored to
lannch her, using the oars to pole her
off; but the water soon deepened and
we were thrown back on the beach.
Three times we launched the boat, and
each time we were thrown back ou the
beach. I '
"By this time we were wet t! fBtai
and throngh. Our clothes were .".u
and stiff as boards. We were dis- j
couraged. cold end 'exhausted. It was
evident that the sea must go down be- j
fore we could lauuch our boat and get .
away. But the tide waa rising. The
email beach would soon be covered and
we should have to retreat np the cliffs
and leave the boat, our only means of
escape, to bo dashed to pieces on the
rocks. What were we to do? Here we !
were on a bare rock which was covered
with snow, without a fire or any means
of warming our almost frozen bodies.
Nothing but death in a horrible form
was before us.
"The cold was intense, and we were
becoming numb. In order to warm our
blood I served out a big drink of whisky
all around. This seemed to start onr
blood moving once more, but it failed to
rai.it? our spirits. I thought of my wife
and babies at home. What would they
do when I was gone? I thought, too, of
tho warm fire, tho dry clothes and the
comfortable lied at the station. 1 roused
myself, Tor it would not do to give up.
We must got off, but nobody could thiuk
of any way.
"As I thought, 1 liecame very much
worked np, and lxked around for some
one on whom to vent my rago. 1 saw
Harry sitting in a crevice of the cliff,
calmly puffing away at his pipe. This
somehow aggravated me. I walked
over to him. and asked hiui if lie was
going to 6it there like a blooming idiot
and not do anything to help save him
self and the rest of us.
"Ho stood up and his face turned
pale, for I said a great deal more than 1
have told you alanit. but let that pass.
Ho looked mo all over. I thought he
was going to strike me. Then, walking
toward the boat, he said, as ho passed mo,
'I'll get you out of this scrape, "but' lie
waa going to say something more, bnt
evidently changed his mind. On reach
ing tho boat ho made a bowline on the
end of tho line, and throwing it over his
l.i ...i ;.,v. , ti-ried lor I no t eer
lieforo reaching it ho turned and said
Jerry, when 1 get out there ami av
my hand, launch your boat aud warp
her out with this line."
"Without another word he bega.'.
crawling out on the reef. We though;
each wave would sweep him off. lini
after each one had passed over him we
would see him trawl out a little further.
Slowly and steadily he crawled to the
outer point and signaled. Then, throw
ing himself on hia face, he dug his hands
and feet in tho crevices and braced him
self for the strain. The tide had rlsei
and he was now under water almost all
the time.
"We launched the boat and the first
time wo tried wo warped hor out far
enough to use our oars, but it took time
to do it.
"When wo got to Harry wo tried to
draw him to the boat, bnt we could not
move him. We shouted and told hiiu
to let go. but he did not move, it wa
not until we pulled on him sideways
that we cot him to the boat.
