Ill all cases where the land is plowed
in summer a drag or harrow should fol
low closely after the plow to smooth the
surface. Early In spring an excess of
moisture in the soil is common, and
t lien to have rough furrows to drv out
the superfluous moisture more quickly
is an advantage. But even then har
rowing the furrows down should be done
More they get very dry. In summer,
wnere urn especially is plowed under,
the heated air under the furrow often
retards fermentation, and if the plowed
land is left long without dragging it may
become Uh dry for seeds to germinate in
it. A very light rain soaks down better
into a smooth surface, because it does
n t give bulk enough to spread it out, so
hat it cannot soak inside the hard
lumps.

In m'nd the following1 rules for hand
ing your gun:
I. Aever let tlie muz.ie 01 your pioco
point at any person.
2. Always carry your (fun with the
mu..le pointing uway from you.
3. W hen climbing a icnce pui your
(run over nrst, utter iuKin(f out, 00111
shells.
4. Never drag a jrun towurds yon.
Nearly half the accidents that have
happened to bovs fr.:m the handling of
g-uns have been owing to the neglcctof
the fourth of the ubove rules.
.Most bovs know that it is considered
unsportsmanlike to shoot at any bird
when it is not ilvinjr, or at any hare or
rabbit that is not running. It is the
uv of "polite shooting" that tho game
must have a fair chance, to escape, ca
pe ially when the Khotgun ia used.
lartret practi e w well enougn to
train the shooter in aiming, but there
is no way of learninir to shoot game
save going into the field ami bunging
way at it.
Even after you have learned to con
trol your nerves you will find it very
hard at first to hit vour bird, because
you will forget to aim ahead of it if
Hying across your Imeof sight, or u Dove
if rising, or below it if hying downward.
In hare shooting it ia necessary to
"allow for running by aiming a trine
above the game when it is running
straight away from you. This is be
came yorr line of sight is above it as
you stand.
The shotgun requires the very hest of
care in order to do good work. It must
be kept perfectly clean and must always
be loaded to suit it . "habit,"aa I call it.
liy this 1 mean that each gun has a ca
pacity or quality for shooting a certain
load best, and any other load will ley-en
its effectiveness. By a little experi-
menting you can find out the load that
best suits your piei e.
Carry your gun on your shoulder with
the imi..lc elevated and the hammers
down, save when you are expecting
game to rise, then you nuiy hold it at
"ready," which is as follows": Cock both
buvrels, grasp thu stock with the right
hand, aa in tiring, and sustain the bar
rels at an upward angle, in the left
bund, just in front of and ucross the
breast, tlie breech-heel a little below
the right elbow. This gives perfect
freedom of action when the game rises.
Moreover, it is the safest position in
which to carry the gun both for ,)ur
self and your companions, if you have
any.
Never be in a hurry with a gun, no
matter what the apparent emergency ;
it is the deliberate and cool sportsman
that is quicki s'. and surest. Kemember
what is done as a habit is done perfect
ly, and all that you have to do to make
a crack shot of yourself is to learn to
tire habitually by the most approved
rule. E. H. Uilmas.

The umpire on the Boston league
baseball grounds made a bad mistuke
the other day. The question came np
whether Anson of the Chicago players
should be permitted to move from one
batter's box into another after the
pitcher had begun to pitch the
ball. The case seems too clear
that be should not be allowed it to be
possible for an error of judgment to be
made; yet we have no doubt the um
pire meant well, for he was generally
fair, and by no means inclined atrainst
the Boston club, lied cided wrongly
In any event by sending Anson to his
base, Anson should either have been
declared out for refusing to bat proper

To give vou some idea of prices, Just
look nt this copy of the 'Pickwick Papers.'
It is in the original monthly pnrts, with
vellow covers as issued, which arc mighty
dirty, without doubi. The plates, how
ever, by H. K. Browne, are line impres

sider it worth $100. All of Dickens',
Thackeray's or Lever's hooks, with illus
trations by George Cnilkshank and Leech,
are greatly in . demand. In America
Hawthorne, Longfellow and Poe bring
the highest prices. A first edition of

Antliultjr of I'nllh Cures,
The power of mind over body for dis
ease or for health Is 110 pew notion. Tho
medicine man has practiced for ages
among savage trilies. In the temples or
nncicut paganism cures wcro wrought by
reatment which suggests nn early form
of mesmerism. A disease, which is nn il
lusion, may be cured by a remedy which
is an illusion. Imagination which cures
imaginative diseases, may uld iu curing
most actual disease. Every physician
knows the Importance of mental states In
curative processes. Even a broken bono
will knit better under thu liilliieuco of 11
happy mind. Cancer may bo removable
only by a knife, but the best plaster after
ward Is nn easy mind. Cholera germs are
most net mil physical forces, but they Hud
no condition for a,.. Ion iu the man whose
nerves aro braced by fearlessness. Tho
mind cure bus systematized common sense
concerning mental influences 011 the body.
The philosophy of the power of mind over
matter is as old as Plato and the Hindoos.

Ilud Air In the Cities.
Large parts of our town populations
never have sufllclent oxygen; their Uvea
are feeble and full of suffering, and num
bers die before their time, biich facts uro
daiuful to contemplate, but a knowledge
of them puts the wise man on his guard,
and he may do much for himself. In the
choice of o house ho will remember the
advantage of a great ulr space around it,
nnd of plenty of space within It, so that
bedrooms may not be overcrowded. Or,
if n largo house is beyond his means, he
will take care Unit tho rooms nre not
crowded with furniture, for every piece of
furniture excludes r.n equal bulk of nir.
When he enters the house he will see thnt
at all times ns much fresh air from the
outsido is admitted, by means of ojicn
doors and windows, as can bo allowed
without inconvenience from cold; and as
often ns possible he will have a blow
through, to clear out all odd corners
where foul air may linger. Pure atr and
goixl food make pure blood, nnd only pure
blood will givo good health. Chambers'

A novel suggestion has been made with
a view to utilizing the great masses of

vention of a motor, could lie applied to
the working of tho windlass, hauling in

light. Although startling in its novelty,
tho plan is thought to be practicable.
