EGGS AT ALL SEASONS.--If we would kave eggs at all seasons of the year, we Jgiust have hens that are in a laying con­ dition at all seasons. Of course, this is Impossible with the same individuals, As no fowl can lay all the time without Intermission. Mature fowls have their breeding season and their moulting ieason every year, when few or no eggs can be produced--New England Parmer. -- IT costs no more to produce A pound Of wool than a pound of cotton, and the Wool sells for three times the price of ton.

Ohard How TO BURN .STUMPS.--Pile about fhem a lot of dry rubbish (there is noth­ ing better than dry stable manure), and After setting this on lire cover it with damp or wet manure. This is upon the plan of a coal kiln, and if one wants pay for his labor he can put out the fire at the proper stage and make a few bushels of charcoal; it not he can let the whole tiling burn to ashes. One who has tried" this plan says it is a perfect success. It Is worth a trial.--Santa Rosa (Cat.) Democrat. CORN IN HILLS AND IN DRILLS.--The Kansas Agricultural College last year instituted careful experiments to deter- mints the relative advantage of planting corn in hill and in drills. The plants in the drills were cultivated ten inches apart, And in hills the same number of stalks to the acre. Both were treated in the same way, hoeing once and cultivating twice. The corn was husked in November, and that in dri1 Is yielded seventy-ore bushels to the acre, while that in hills yielded Only sixty-two and a half bushels. CAKE OF HARNESS. --The practice of washing harness with warm water and soap is very damaging unless a coat of oil is applied immediately after. No harness is ever so soiled that a damp sponge will not remove the dirt; yet, even when the sponge is applied, it is important to apply a slight coat of oil by the use of a second sponge. All var­ nishes, and all blacking that contains the properties of varnish, should be avoided. When, a harness loser ite luster and tains brown it should be given anew .goat of grain black; first wash the grain surface thoroughly with potash water to .kill the grease, and, after the application of the grain black, apply oil and tallow - to the surface. This will fasten the color and make the leather flexible. Keatsfoot oil only should be used on har­ ness, and no more should be applied to the leather than it will readily absorb. A superabundance works out to the sur­ face in hot weather, catching dirt and in A short time looking very mean.-- American Stock Journal. About the House.

It was arranged that this dinner should be unlike the usual semi-public banquet, inasmuch as there should be no addresses and no proposing of toasts. There were many distinguished guests present. They were each in turn pre­ sented to Longfellow. Then came the dinner. It was excellent. A bright and general conversation had sprang up un- trammeled by this man's fear that he would have to speak on his legs, and the other man's fear that he wouldn't. But there was a well-known old gentleman at the table for whom this scene of content­ ment had no attractions. Mr. S. C. Hall suddenly rose in the midst of this happy throng, and, thundering on the table, be­ gan to speak. He would not be put down. Yes, he knew what the agree­ ment was; but he also knew that at their board sat the most eloquent of English­ men, and he called upon Mr. Gladstone to say a few words in honor of the great­ est American poet Mr. Hall had done his ruthless work well. He sat down amid a loud cheer, and presently Mr. Gladstone rose to still louder plaudits. The orator himself was taken aback, but he was equal to the occasion, and he paid a glorious tribute of eloquent praise to the poet. While Gladstone sat down Longfellow stood up. Thunders of cheers greeted the grand old man, but the grand old man was very miserable. If they had given him a pen and called on him for a poem he would have done well enough; but, asked for a speech, and without notice, Mr. Longfellow was nonplussed. He opened his mouth. No sound came forth. A second time he essayed to speak, with a like result. At last he said, "Gentlemen, I thank you, and it was understood that there were to be no speeches."--Cor. New York Timet. Expertsess of Michigan Loir Rollers. The wonderful skill and agility of the lumbermen who run logs and rafts down the rivers of Michigan has long been viewed with surprise. At Manistee, a short time ago, there was a log-rolling contest, which is thus described by the Times and Standard : The contestants were each provided with a smooth pine log about sixteen inches in diameter, and a pole with a spike and hook at one end. They also wore log-drivers' boots, with spikes about one-half inch long set in the bottom. The contest took place in the Manistee river, where there is a current of about three miles an hour, and long before the hour the banks were lined by thousands of spectators anxious to witness the per­ formance. At a given signal they appeared on the bank, coatless, and with a sash around the waist, and each stepped upon his log, and with his pole shoved off into the ourrent. They whirlod the logs around, stood on one foot, sat down, kneeled down, laid down, rolled over on the log, drank lying down, drank lying on their backs, and, in short, did more than most people can do on the solid floor. * Finally one jumped np onto the log with the other and deliberately sent his log whirling to the other side of the river with his pike-pole, and now com­ menced the strife in' earnest. To roll the other off the log, one would set the log .Thirling like the (shaft of a mill- wheel until the T/ater was covered with foam from the whirl, when of a sudden he would stamp his spikes into the log and stop it so that it Tould appear as eclid as the eternal rocks; it would not even tremble. Then he would start rolling in the other direction until the waters would be whirled into foam again, and both men would be running at the top of their speed *o keep on top of the log, when in would go the spikes and the log would be stopped as if held in a vise. This was repeated a dozen times, but to no purpose, each watched the other, foot and foot came down together. No soldier ever kept step better, and each held his place on the log until they had been swept down the river over half a mile, and past the bridge, when one tbrew his pike-pole away and the other followed suit, and now neither had even a balancing-pole, and the contest grew sharper than ever. The log was whirled one way, stopped suddenly, then whirled the other, and at times the direction of its roll would be changed so suddenly that it was difficult for the eye to follow its course, and so evenly matched were the men (they were the Wheeler broth­ ers) that we doubt if either would have proved the victor, but the log floated under the boom of a vessel, and, while whirling, struck, and one went in, while the other caught in the rigging of the vessel and saved himself. Singular Presentiment. Elijah Killam, a farmer of Wayne county, Pa., near Cochectun, N. Y., kissed his family, saying it was for the last time. He called his oldest son aside and told him what to do with the farm, "for I am to be a dead mi.n be­ fore night, I know." A thunderstorm was coming up. Killam went out in a field to turn hay. It began to rain. He went to the pig-pen near by and took shelter. His pitchfork was on his shoulder. A thunderbolt descended and struck the tines of the fork, melting them, and, passing through the farmer's body, killed him instantly, and also killed a dog that was near him. THE farmers of North Carolina say there is more wheat this year than for forty years. HIK0FOL1S. the Amy oft Its Capture by the ferrtle Fighting on Both SMei. The following account of the desperate sssault upon and capture of Nikopslis by the Russians is furnished by a war correspondent of the New York Herald : The batteries at Tunra-Magurelli had reduced Nikopolis to rttine, but the two hills on which the town was built com­ pletely sheltered the Turkish forces from the Russian fire. Therefore, it became neoesssiy to attack the town and position from the Bulgarian side of the river. For this purpose a considerable force of infantry was masked west of Sistova, and, during the concentration, these troops served to cover the crossing. When the two corpft had established t-hemselves in the direction of Biela and Tirnova, the covering body was prepared to move on Nikopolis. But, in the meantime^ the Turks were strengthening their position and prepar­ ing to dcfcSt t'i o GiSmlj oppaiCut sbjcOt of their enemy. All the indications, therefore, pointed to a bloody struggle for the possession of Nikopolis; and, to speak truly, neither side seemed anxious to begin it. The" threatened failure of the Sistova bridge, and the frequent in­ terruptions of traffic necessitated bv the repairs forced the Russians to make the attack. The extensive swamp and lake west of Sistova interfered considerably with the Russian advance, although it afforded a decided protection against a Turkish attack from that side. The Cossacks had been skirmishing and scouting for more than two days m the direction of Plevna and Nikopolis, and their opera­ tions and activity masked the prepara­ tions of the attacking column very ef­ fectually. Finally, the order for the Russian ad­ vance was given, and, after an arduous march around the lake and toward Ni­ kopolis, the contending forces came into collision. The Turks had taken the precaution to cover their position by double lines of pickets, supported at intervals by several companies of picked troops. This was to guard against the raids of the Cossacks, whose enterprise has impressed itself thoroughly upon the Turkish mind. These lines of pick­ ets made what might be termed a formal show of resistance, and slowly retired on the main body. As soon as the Russians came within effective range of the Turkish position, they were met by a severe artillery fire, which, however, did not check their advance, and to which they replied with a still more formidable fire. The Turks, being post­ ed on a commanding position, had a con­ siderable advantage, and as the Russians approached frightful gaps were made in their ranks by the Turkish artillery. With surprising valor, however, they continued to upprcsch the heights, ami, as soon they came within rifle range, they opened a terrible fire on the Turks. For half an hour this musketry duel con­ tinued, with unabated vigor. The Russians in the meantime devel oped their front so as to approach their left in the direction of the Ozin river. This was a movement which threatened the Turkish line of retreat to the south- westward and westward. About midday on Sunday the order for the assault was given, and the whole Russian line, sup­ ported by several batteries of artillery advantageously posted, stormed the heights occupied by the Turks. During the awful climb in the face of a deadly lire, the Russians suffered ter­ ribly, while the Turks, stubbornly de­ fending their position, sustained equal losses; but the onset was so impetuous that the Turks could not withstand it, and were driven headlong over the crest of the hills toward Nikopolis, followed by the Cossacks and detachments of light infantry. After obtaining possession of the heights commanding the town, at a ter­ rible oost, it is true, the Russians virtu­ ally had Nikopolis at their mercy. The Turks, finding their line of retreat threat­ ened, abandoned the town. It was filled with Turkish dead. Many wounded were also found in the streets and in the houses, where th*y had been abandoned by the Turks in the haste of their re­ treat. The Killed at St. John. Even at this late day the number of i oi l ns that met their death is uncer­ tain. Eighteen persons, at least, died sudden deaths in connection with the fire. Out-of these only ei^ht were token to the dead-house, and only two inquests wore held, the Coroner deeming it un­ necessary to hold an inquiry in the other cases. Among the first to be killed were Garret Cotter and Peter McGovern, who were killed by the cornice falling off Adams' building. In the Reed House, on Main street, Lower Cove, three ladies were burned to death. These were Mrs. Reed, mother of ex-Mayor Reed, and the Misses Clark, Mr. Reed's aunts. Mr. John E. Turnbull and others made desperate efforts to save the ladies, but all attempts were unavailing. Their bodies were never recovered. Capt. William Firth, the well-known ship- chandler, also met his death in the flames. His remains were found on Prince William street, near Barnes' Ho­ tel. He left a wife and family. Mr. Samuel Corbitt, cabinet-maker, on Prince William street, is among the miss­ ing, and there is no doubt whatever that he met a horrible death. Mr. Joseph Bell, painter, cannot be found, and he, too, has become a victim to the terrible disaster. He was a married man. Two persons were drowned in the harbor while endeavoring to save their property in boats, the bottom of the cratt break­ ing and the boat filling. So great was the excitement that, although the boat was only a few yards from the vessels in the stream, both of its occupants had sunk before any effort was made to res­ cue them. These were James Kemp and Thomas Holmes. Another victim was Timothy O'Leary, an old man who kept an apple-stand at the foot of Dock street, and whose body was never found. There is no question, however, but that he was burned in Drury lane. Mrs. Coholan, wife of William Coholan, Smyth street, also perished in the flames. ' Her body was never found. Mrs. Bradley, who lived on Princess street, also met her death on this never-to-be-forgotten night. Some human bones were found in the doorstep of her house, and it is thought that these were what remained of her. A young man named Richard Thomas was burned. His remains were found in the ruins of R. O'Brien's tav­ ern on Germain street. A young man, Robert Fox, belonging to the Marsh road, is known to have perished in the flames. Two men have been killed by the walls since the daytof the fire. John Ross, a tailor, who was badly burned during the fire, died in the Public Hos­ pital. _ There are one or two others that are missing since the fire, and it is sup­ posed they have perished in the flames. ---Si. John Globe. An Ill-Fated Massachusetts Town. For a peaceful, old country town, the record of Northampton. Mass,, for the past half dozen years makes a most amazing story. Back in 1870 the place bonded itself for $400,000 to aid the never-built Massachusetts Central road. This is reckoned a dead loss, and the total payment, interest and all, will be 8000,000. In that year the Edwards Church was burned, with a loss of $72,000 above insurance. In 1874 was the Mill river disaster, by which fifty- one lives were lost, a great deal of dam­ age done to manufacturing establish­ ments, several industries driven away, and $50,000 worth of town property lost Then the town had to pay 810.000 for the freeing of Hadley bridge uud $6,000 for that at South Hadley falls. Then came the financial panic which has produced not less than $2,000,000 of failures there, including one company whose capital of $500,000 has been wiped out Then the old bank was robbed of about $1,000,000, and the old church, the pride of the place, was burned. Now the Had­ ley bridge has been carried off by a tor­ nado. Every injurious influence, either of design or accident--malice, ignorance, fire, wind and water--s^ems to have been spent upon this devoted town. By actual computation it is reckoned that two- thirus of the amount of the grand list has been lost there in six years. Striking for Life. •They [the Baltimore and Ohio railway firemen] claim that they have nothing to lose in this fight, as they can't live at the wages paid them. This is the way they put the case--a striker will be quoted who represents the average--"Good God, man, if you ask what we are strik- in' for, we are strikin' for life. No one can live and support a family upon $1.85 a day. A trip is called a day. Some times we don't get only four trips a week. The rest is a lay by and dead loss. When off on our trip we have to shovel a couple tons of coal and that hungers a man a bit We have to buy our meals away and where that is done three times out of $1.35 then you can think how much is left for a family and home." Another striker said in spite of heavy work he never had a taste of meat once a week. --Martinsburg (W. Fa.) Cor. Chi­ cago Times. Interesting Domestic Incidents.
