Farm Work for September. The yield of wheat depends largely upon the tillering, therefore sow early on rich, mellow soil. Wheat needs to make a strong growth of roots before winter. Use mper‘ phosphate or other commercial fertilizer, when there is no sufficent barnyard manure. Lime may be used to mil rich in vegetable matter. Its chief value is in liberating other elements of plant food. As 3 prev”:- tive of rust, wet the seed grain in strong br.ne, or a. solution of four ounces of blue- stone (sulphate of co per), to a. gallon of water. Sow with a rill when possible. If the wheat land is not well drained, make the water furrows with the plow after all else is done. These will quickly carry ofi surface water after hard rains. Grass seed may be sown a few wes ks later. Clover is best sown in spring, and the seed may be scattered on the last snow. ,,.L n... avnuscs nu vu uuv ......- _.__- .

Both the quantity and quality of food should he uniform. Pastures are now beyond their prime, and need to be Ieinforced by roots. fodder corn, or other green iood. Any fall- ng of! in condition in farm stock should be strictly guarded against as cold weather ap- proaches. Young animals profit much from any extra feed during the first year. Horses after a. day’s work enjoy being sponged with clean water containing a few d1 ops of carbolic acid. After the regular feed, they may pass the night in the pasture. Look well to the feet and the shoulders of work- homes. SUNDEY MAHuRs.â€"Ckan up all rubbish about the yards and buildings, and store all farm implements not in use in a dry place.

A HINT T0 SHIPPERS 0F APPLEsrâ€"An English agricultural paper prints some ex~ oellent advice to American apple-growers. In the first place. it complains of a kind of two and three quarter bushel barrel, which is extensively used in New York, and ad- vises all who wish to ship fruit to England to use the old fashioned three-bushel barrel, with an honest bulge. Then it alludes po- litely, but plainly, to the American habit of sorting the fruit, and stowing the second rate article in the middle of the barrel, while the red cheeked, plumb apples are in- variably placed in the exposed ends. The apple packers of New England will do well to ponder on these remarks, for they are good. Let them check their inclination to place the pleasant faces of their apples all on the outside, and rest assured that if they can get a reputation for honest sorting, their reward shall be substantial. â€"lose.

Care 01' the Work Team. loo-40W The custom of touching glasses prior to drinking healths is very common in Eng- land and many cthes countries, and espec- ially in Germany. It is curious to trace how this cus10m has prevailed, and still exists, even among savage tribes. To drink out~of the same cup and eat of the same plate, was one of the ways in which the ancients cele- brated a marriage, and the wedding feast continues to be not the least important of the marriage ceremonies to the present day. The Indians of Brazil retain a custom of drinking together a little brandy, as asign that the marriage is concluded. Iu'China similar customs are met with. In the med- iaeval banquets oi Gsrman it was the cus- tom to pass a “loving cup ’ from hand to hand, but this gradually necessitated that the cup should be of enormous size, and thus smaller cups or glasses were. adopted, and the old custom was conformed to by the drinkers touching their glasses before drink- ing. The ceremony attending the passing and drinking out of the “loving cup,” as practiced at our great city festivals and at some of our college balls, is said to have arisen from the assassinaiion of King Ed- ward. It was then the custom among the Anglo-Saxons to pass round a large cup, from which each guest drank; he who thus drank stood up, and as he lifted the cup with both hands, his body was exposed without any defence to a blow, and the oc- casion was often seized by an enemy to mur der him. To prevent; this the following p'an was adopted: When one at the com~ psny stood up to drink, he required the companion who sat next to him to be his pledgeâ€"that is, to be responsible for pro- tecting him against anybody who should at- tempt toIake advantage of his deienceless position; this companion stood up also, and raised his drawn sword in his hand to de- fend the dn'nker while drinking. This practice in a somewhat altered iorm, con- tinued long after the condition of society had ceased to rsquire it, and was the origin of the modern practice of pledging in drink- ing. In drinking from the "lining cup” as now practiced, each person rises and takes the cup in his hand to drink, and at the same time the person seated next to him rises also, and when the latter takes the cup in his turn, the individual next to him does the same. The smoker lies curled up, with his hmd resting on a bamboo or earthemware pillow about five inches high. Near hxm stands an opium lamp, the flame of which 15 protected by a glass shade low enough for the point of the flame to project above the top of the shade. The smoker takes a wire and dips it into a little box containing prepared opium. A small quantity adheres to the point of the wire, which is then held over the flame of the lamp until the heat has swollen it into ten times its original size. This )8 rolled over on the flat side of the clap bowl. the opium all the time adhering to the Wire. Whtn it has been rolled to a soft, solid mass it is again applied to the lamp. and this al- ternate roasting and rolling is kept up for at least ten minutes, by which time it is in the shape of a. pill and ready for use. The aper- ture in the pipe is so small that it can only receive the smallest quantity and the most careful manipulation is needed to transfer the tiny ball of opium from the end of the wire to the bowl of the pipe. The point of the wire is inserted into the hole of the pipe and worked round and round till the soft opium forms into a conical shaped ring around the wire. By twirling the wire the drug is gradually detached from it, leaving a. hole through the opium about as large as the hole of the pipe bowl, with which it com municates, The pipe is now ready and the bowl is held over the lamp so that the opium comes in contact with the flame. A splut- tering noise ensues as the smoker sucks at his pipe. After each successive draw he ejects from nose and mouth a volume of smoke, the very smell of which is enough to turn a horse’s stomach. By the end or the fourth or fifth whifl the pipe is empty. The smoker scoops up another dose of opium, rolls it into a pill and repeats the operation with the same patience as before and smokes away until the pipe falls from his hands and he is lost in dreamland. If tobacco smok- ing were only half the trouble tobacconists would soon have to shut up shop. How Eclipses of the Moon Impress Sav- ages. The Greenlanders have a personal appre. hension in the matter and believe that the moon rummages their houses for skins or victuals, and destroys those persons who have not observed due sobriety. The South American Chiquitos try to help the darken- ed star against a dog that has worried it till its light has been colored red, and extin- i guished by its streaming blood; and they shoot arrows into the sky to drive away the dog. Charlevoix gives a. similar account of the Guarani, except that with them a tiger takes the place of a dog; and in the lan- guage of the Tupis the literal translation of the ward eclipse is, “The jaguar has eaten the sun.” So, in Asia, the Tunguses believe an evil spirit has swallowed the earth’s satellite. and they try to frighten it away by shots at the darkened disk. In Sumatra and Malacca the fear is aroused that a great snake will swallow the sun or the moon ; and the Nagas of Assam set up a great drum- beating, as if in battle, to frighten away the devouring monster. Among the American tribes are some who believe that eclipses are a warning of the approaching disappearance of the sun and the {all of the moon at the end of the world. The Pottawattamies tell of a demon in the shape of an old woman sitting in the moon weaving a basket, on the completion of which the world Will be des- troyed. A dog contends with the woman, tearing the bisket to pieces every once in a While, and then an eclipse of the moon takes place ; others imagine that the moon ‘is hungry, sick or dying at these times: while the Alfuras, of Ceram, think he is asleep, and make a great uproar to awake him.

A Little Quarrel. Kate Smulsey's Extraordinary Period 0! Fasting. F031- PLAIN, N. Y.-â€"Interest in the case of Kate Smulsey, the young girl who, for 163 days has been involuntarily starving to‘ death, is spreading throughout this section of the country with extraordinary rapidity. Within the past week or two scores of per sons have come to this village from places many miles away to see or inquire about this remarkable girl. To-day she was very low, and the members of her family believe that she cannot live more than a few hours longer. Although she has sufl'ered areat pain of late she has not felt any inclination to take any nourishment. Tne mother of Miss Smulsay said to-night that her parents and every me mber of the family had coaxed and implored the girl to swallow some food, but without aravl. Even whln her agony caused her body to sway to and iro with the CONSTANT REGULARITY on A PENDULUM, she turned her face away frcm the mast tempting morsels that could be prepared, and said that she could eat nothing. She was conscious and able to talk this after- noon. Kate Smulsey was a. bright and in- dustrious girl a. little more than two years ago. She was then 18 years of age, and had acquired an excellent reputation among the good peop‘c of this vicinity as a dress- maker. She was quick and Willing and al- ways had plenty to do. In July. 1882, she was taken sick and was confined to her bed. i She gradually improved, and for a. short time was able to be about. In October. however, she grew worse and was compelled to return to the sick bed, from which she has never since been able to rise. The first symptoms of her disease was in mhl ng and shaking of the hand, followed by an in- voluntary motion of her r ght leg and foot. After a while hir head had asidewise move- ment to the right. Doctors diagnosed the case as St. Vitus' dance, and the usual re- medies were applied, but with no benefit to the patient. The girl grew worse and the motion at first confined to the limbs of one side seized her whole body. The motion was at first perpendicular and like that of a person sawing wcod. only not so violent. To this particular motion was soon added one partlv rolling, and the two were com- bined. Lately the motion has been rolling only,"the rolls constantly moving her entire body from side to side with perfect regular- ity at the rate of 50 per minute. This mo- tion is perpetual for 22 or 23 hours out of 24, and is perfectly involuntary. The poor ‘girl would be quiet if she could. For an hour or moreâ€"never more than twoâ€"m the l night she is motionless. She then SLEEPS FROM'SBEER EXHAUSTION, but is awakened by the slightest noise. The moment that she wakens the ceaseless roll- ing begins, to stop only when, worn out. she again sinks to rest. Some persons doubted the necessity of this constant mov- ing of the girl’s body, and thought it was voluntary. One physician sat by her side for three hours, during which time there was not the slightest diminution of the rolling. Another hysician said he could stop it if he wished), and seizing her by the shoulders, held her tightly a few minutes, but the in- stant be relaxed his hold her body resumed its motion. She feels the result of this yet. and says that there is not a spot on her peison that is not sore. The weight of a pin is actually painful to her, and cannot be endured. Her arms are larger and harder than one would expect for a young lady of her size in perfect health. To the touch they indicate strong muscle. In fact, all the muscles of her body are well developed. This is accounted for by the constant motion of her body, which keeps her in perpetual exercise. Another remarkable thing about Miss Smulsey's case is that she has no bed sores on her person. In most cases where persons are confined to their bed for a long period sores show themselves and become very troublesome. In her case, although she has not left her bed since a year last October, there are none. Since January 1st she has not been able to raise her head from her pillow. About three months ago she began to have trouble with her eyes. A strong light was painful to her. She lies now in a darkened room and wears blue glasses. The color of the glasses contrasts strongly with the pale, white face and the snowy bedding. During the early part of .her sickness Miss Smulsey relished deli- ‘ cacies, and the neighbors sent in such little dishes as they thought would please her. Her appetite was not ravenous. still she ate as much as an invalid ordinarily would eat. At length solid food distressed her, and since March 11, 1884, lFIYE MONTHS WITHOUT FOOD. SHE HAS NOT SWALLOWED A MORSEL. For some time she was able to drink either milk or water and drank two or three glasses each day. After a time she could not drink milk, and water only was taken, and that in small quantities. At length she could not even drink water. One day she drank a glass of water and was soon seized with con- vulsions. and for two days was in terrible‘ distress. She bloated till she measured nearly twice her natural size about the waist. During the last eight weeks she has not swallowed a drop of water or any other nourishment. Attempts have been made to give her a. teaspoontul of water, but invari- ably it brought on convulsions and great distress. Every exertion seems to bloat her. Long conversation causes her to turn purple and bloat. She has no desire to eat. and thirst is satisfied by holding water in her mouth and ejecting it. This she ~does several times a day. Her stomach ieels full, as if she had recently eaten a hearty meal. Miss Smulsey’s sickness has been aocom-l panied by no delusion whatever, and her mind is clear and rational. She would be glad to eat if she could, and at the request of her physician she has made attempts to eat or drink, with the results described. All efforts to feed her in other ways than by the mouth have proved futile. There is no denial of the positive fact that for 163 days up to noon to-day she has not tasted food and that for weeks she has not swallowed anything. Her case stands without parallel. Reporters, doctors, scientists have visited her and gone away puzzled. The Smulsey family are Germans, and are highly respectei. Dr. Zoller, the attending physician, says that the irl looks as though suffering from normal ropsy. Dr. Ayers thinks it a. peculiar form of St. Vitus’ dance. The difference between the Quaker form of marriage and the Episcopal form is, that in the former the bride does not; promise to obey but does obey, while in the latter the bride does promise to obey but does not obey. The Only Monument to John smith, the Friend of Pocahontas. During the troublesome times before and subsequent to the revolution, the Isles of Shoals, off the coast of New H'unpshire, were the resort and hiding places of the free- boottrs who haunted the northern coast. and these silent rocks, if they could speak, would tell many a tale of bloody cruelty and gloomy wrong. The pirates used to come here to divide and hide their booty, and melt up the silverplato they captured from the colonists along the coast. For a long time it; was supposed that bushels of doubloonswere buried mthegaping crevices of the rocks, or the little caves that have been eaten out of the ledges by the reatless tide ; but the place was thoroughly Searched by several ganerations of fisher- men, and nothing more valuable than a. rusty cud-ass or a burated blunderbuss was ever found. The grandames tell how Capt. Kydd came here one), “ as he sailed, as he sailed," and there are legends of other irates quite as fierce and free as he. The tar Island used to be haunted by a beautiful spectre with long white robes and golden tresses reach- mg to her heels. who used to mme out of some undiscovered cavern at dawn, and shading her eyes with a hand that was as white and beautiful as a lily’s bosom, gaze off upon the sea in hopeless expectancy of the return of a clipper that sailed away and never came back again. Tte story goes that a. bloody-hearted old pirate, being pursuel by a cruiser, brought his beautiful miatnsa here and left her while he went out to tattle, telling her that by dawn he would be back again, but he came not, not even till now. She died of starva- tion, but her frithful spirit still comes to the summit of the island as the sun rises each morning, to meet the corsair who never re- turned. There are eight of the islands. the smallest being as large, or rather as small, as a city building lot, and the largest containing only a couple of hundred acresâ€"nothing but bare, lifeless rocks, carved by the incessant waves into strange grotesqueness, and cover- ed by no vegetation except low clinging vines and the New England blueberry. Four of the islands are inhabited, the largest, the Appledore, bears a. hotel and a few cottages. Star Island has another hotel and a small settlement of fishermen ; a. third has a few fishermen's huts, and the fourth has a bold, white lighthouse springing out of its crest. They were discovered by Cap. John Smith, the friend of Pocahontas, who in 1614 ex- plored the New England coast in an open boat, and spent some time here making re- pairs and resting. On Star Island stands the only monument erected in America to Capt. John Smith. It is a. rude afhirâ€"a prismatic-shaped shaft of marble, upon a. pedestal of sandstone, in- scribed at length with the record of his valorous deeds, and some cyclopedias say he is buried here, but that is a mistake. The War on the Condor. The announcement that the Chilian Gov» ernment has declared a war of extermina- tion against the unnarch of vulturesâ€"the condorâ€"and 06ers about five dollars for every condor killed, justifies some remark as to the possibility of the Chilian Government realizing its purpose. The Condor has in- deed been declared “an enemy to the repub- lic." and condor hunting has become a high- ly lucrative business; but when one takes into consideration the astounding powers of the bird. and its wonderful habits. one finds it hard to believe that the government can ever succeed in destroying the species at any price. Shooting it on the wing is almost out of the question ; for it sails at altitudes far beyond the reach of the human eye, and roosls on peaks immeasurably above the clouds. It has been seen at altitudes of 20,000 feet. It can withstand variation of temperature beyond human endurance, and batches its young far above the snow line ; nevertheless, it rests quite comforiably on the buring sands of the Southern seacoast. It haunts the whole Western slepes of the Andesâ€"not only Chili. but Peru, Bolivia and Patagonia. With the vast pread of its Wingsâ€"often exceeding twelve feetâ€"it can pertorm prodigious journeys in a few hours, Its eye is miracuously keen; for when no bird is Visible in the sky, even with the aid of a powerful glass, if a mule or ozher animal in a convoy fall or die, the condors instantly drop upon it like lightning from heaven. Latterly the lirds have so increased as to form a veritable securgeâ€"notwithstanding the fact that the female luys but two eggs at a time, and that condor hunting has been a regular and lucrative calling for more than a century. Traps are the only reliable means of catching them ; but the day will certainly come when traps shall be of no avail whatever. Condors have already learned to fear a gun ; and with their won- derful sight it is absolutely impossible to get within rifle range of them. Birds soon learn to avoid danger, as has been proved since the erection of the telegraph lines in United States ; few are now killed by flying against the wires. It will be strange if the condor does not learn to avoid snares in- stinctivel y. . . .. . u. . r“... THE LEGEND OF STAR ISLAND. When the birds find life in Chili or in Peru unusually difficult they have only to migrate further south or north. and propa- gate then- species in other altitudes, until they become l0 numerous as to migrate again to those regions which outlawed them. Then the work of destruction would have to be done over. All things considered it seemn impossible to exterminate such a. race of vultures unless means of destroying their eggs can be devised ; but nobodyâ€"not even Mr. Grahamâ€"would undertake to scale icy peaks 19,000 or 20,000 feet high for such a purpose. The condor is certainly gifted with rare powers of self-preservation: end it is not unlikely his huge shadow may float above the corpse of the last South American in that; lurid tmlighb receding the world’s final dissolution.â€" ew Orleans Times- Democrat.

We may therefore conclude that each class of sensations and each class of memories has its own definite area of the gray matter on the surface of the brain. Memories of objects seen are located in the posterior part in the occipital region. Memories of sounds heard are located in the lower lateral part in the temporal region. Memories of moticm in the limbs. and of tonch in those limbs, are located side by side in the central lateral region. Memories of speech are located in the fronal region. It is therefore a. mistake to speak of memory as a single faculty of the mind. It is really an assemblage of distinct memories which we possess, each kind of memory being as diff- erent from the others both in its nature and 5 n its location as are the diflerent organs of sense through which the original preoeption came.
