li'l'er. Some aseritie the cause to too

claimed that it due to tho effects of
too much heat from the sun. What is
known uti rust or blight may, however,
no traced to a minute worm, which
docs the mischief by working around

best remedy is to burn a light cover

fully clean out the stalls and prepare
beds for tho cows, and lus work does
not end until lute, but he will not do
so much for the hens. Yet the lion
will pay five times as much profit in

runner to start, as they should be
pinched back. Mulch the young
plants in the fall and remove th
mulch curly iu the spring. Thou
apply anotl t r dressing oi fertilizer and
clean tho soil by enrring it about an
inch. W hen the young tayrnei are
set pinch off all but the largest. It
require work, but it will pay.

WOODEN SHOES.
Th l'tntalle Monopoly Knjnyed by th

In tho town of I'lyioer, Chautauqua
County, X. y is a largo settlement of
Hollanders, the older members of w hich
Ill-ought from their fatherland the sim
ple manners and Industrious habits
which have always lieen characteristic
of that race. Nearly without exception
they are engaged in general farming
ami dairying, and to supplement their
farm labors thev have introduced an in
dustry which is carried on in no other
place in the Union. This is the making
of the wooden shoes or clogs which are
so common in Holland and some other
foreign countries. During the coldest
days and the long winter evenings these
Hollanders ply their knives and
"shaves" almost without cessation.
The business is really a monopoly and
of late it lias proved very profitable,
the demand for tho clumsy shoes for
decorative purposes not only largely
enhancing tlieir value, which the shrewd
Dutchmen were quick to see, but in
creasing the nuniher called lor very
materially. The woods used aro bass

bored and cut from a single block.

At it we went; the square was closed.
I must acknowledge that our men were -now
mad. We all felt that we must
fight for our lives. Retreat was not to
be "thought of; if we did so, where
could we r? treat to, cut off as we were
from al! support? If we did not win
the day we must leave our Imnes in the
desert The temper of our men
mounted to the boiling pitch. Each
man felt as if he must put forth the
jiower of a giant, and as a conse
quence the butchery was terrible none
dared to flinch. Thus every man in
the square had to do his duty, for while
the inside resembled a volcano in act-
ive eruption, the outside or kneeling
ranks had enough to do to keep the
other Arabs at a respectful distance.
Tb fighting was literally back to back.

riders and all, w hen the latter were
quickly dispatched by dozens of bayo
nets at once. 1 he Arabs, being packed
so tightly together, could neitlH-r use v
their lam-e nor wield their scimitars '
without slashing each other, while we
did not cease our lunging as long as
one breathed. At last they were wiped
out, and a:rain we faced outward and
reopened lire, our weapons meanwhile
dripping. Five times the enemy
charged us with frantic cries and wav
ing Waiters, and as many times we
poures in the murderous volleys no
shots fasted.
It wan during one of these charges
tliattpol Jiiel Burnaby, impatient at the
restinKit itniiosed on him. pushed hi
horse through the ranks of the rear
face, and singling out an emir who was
making himself disagreeably promi
nent, made a thrust at him, but was
rather short; the emir thrust in return
with his lance, but Burnaby. with a
sneer on his face, parried it easily.
Two or three Aralw took a hand, but
he disposed of them similarly. It was
evident that he now intended to aston
ish them with his magnificent sword-
maiiship, as he gathered up his reins
and tightened his grip on his saber.
But at this juncture another rush was
made, the Arabs surged around him,
and before he could turn an Arab
hru -t at him from behind, piercing his
jugular vein. He reeled in the saddle
and fell, but springing to his feet 'dy
ing though he was, he delivered one
tremendous cut at some dismounted
Aralat nearest him with such terrible
effect as to sever the head from the
houlders of two of them. As he
dropped the Arabs closed tu to nmlilnte
him, out a ttozen men sprang froAi tue
square and tore his body from them.
All this happened so quickly as to be
wilder the spectators. .
It might be asked why it was that
the meti of thn souare did not shoot
those to whom he wasnpposed. There
are two answers: One was that owing
to the veloeitv of his movements they
were afraid of shooting him while aim
ing at his adversaries; the other was
that those who knew him had such con
fidence in his ability that they did not
like to rob him of his game, never
thinking for a moment that the affair
would terminate as it did. Meanwhile,
the battle raged, the enemy came on
like the waves, not to be driven back.
but to be beaten to the earth. Horses and
men, they were piled in mounds; in
fact, the great number of their dead
and wounded interfered with their
movements, while the slightest delay
on their part insured certain death, and
it was now noticed fr m their hesita
tion that they had lost heart. As they
came on for tho last time, the front of
tlieir advance consisting entirely of
whitf-rolicd emirs nnd sheikhs shout

searching tire, supplemented by 'hand

however, that extensive forests once
existed ill the island. This is proved by
the aluiiiilance of log-wood. The for
ests that remain are mostly of birch,
the trees being hardly larger than
hushes. The decrease of woodland in
Icehind' is due not to any change of
climate or volcanic outburst, but to the
destruction of the trees by the inhali
itauts themselves, who wanted tho
wood to use as fuel aud for other pur
poses. One of the most eloquent preachers

expense as follows: "When I was In
