FOB THE FAIOl ASD HOME. Earthing up Potatoes. J. L. Jenson, a Danish agi ieulturist scientist and experimentalist, lias is sued a buck in which he claims that earthing up potatoes is a preventive of discus. He says those varieties which root deepest are most free from disease, and that the spores of tin? fun pus which causes rot are convoyed through the atmosphere to the plant, and can only icaeh the tubers 1-y lu uvj carried hy rains throush the earth or by dew;! down the main stem of the plant. He recommends eartiou up potatoes as a protect saying that, though the yield is not in-n it-ed, a re markable freedom from dlseae is no ticed where the plants , sro rftrUiel up as much a t';ey will bear.

Pri'idng 1 Woman from Sl.iverj. The following extract, translated from A .1 -.- ' ' Aha. a journal published in Morocco, will show that even poor slaves are not entirely-devoid of human sympathy: "A short time ago a slave woman was set free by her master as a reward b r he. excellent behavior and industry. She began work, and her wages, added to what she had received from her former master, enabled her to sav e a moderate sum of ii.onev. One day. passing through a street, she heard the auctioneer selling a negress. The conscience el the former slave was touched and her sympathy aroused by the remembrance of her former life. In a spirit of sublime charity she bought the slave, took her to her own house, and dei hired her free, and the two women are now working content edly together. VhU-agn Times. Shaker Costumes. A decided change in the dress of Shakers ha taken place in the last twenty years. Skirts were formerly quite plain; now they are laid in length wise folds an inch in width. Jn other words, they are kilted, and in the soft grays and stone colors, with the silk or muslin neckerchief crossed over the bodice and the clear cap shading not concealing the whitening locks of hair, the effect is that of a gentleness and serenity suited to the age of a ma jority of the wearers. The little girls wear white caps, instead ot handker chiefs, exactly like those worn by country girls in F.ngland half a cen tury or less ago.

C i.x, in the "Youth's Companion." says: An incident of the personalities of the "stump" was re lated to tno by Cicn. A. O. Scales, a member of Congress from North Caro lina. "When a young man," said the gen eral. -1 ran for tho legislature in my native countv. At one of the precincts, as 1 passed by a crowd, I noticed a man one Sam Stewart whom I had known from childhood. Ile was en gaged in earnest talk with the crowd, and as I passed I heard him say. " 'I ant agin all lawyers, ami though 1 like A.ti. scales who is one I will not support him on that account." "1 walked boldly up to the crowd, and asked what engaged them so earnestly. Sam repeated his language. 1 said, "You (ill me with amazement. I am as much surprised as if it came fp.ni my own father. Yon have known me from an infant, have dandled me on your knee, and your wife has fed me out of the same spoon with her own boys. I have hunted, fished and played with your eldest hoy, who was my namesake. You had just as well vote against that son." "Ho hesitated a moment, and then turning to the crowd, said, " 'ttentlemen, theni are facts; just as ittle A. (J. has said. He was r.llers an honest boy; and 1 know he is not law yer enough to hurl.

Fiiiring a recent trial the following occurred, varying the monotony of the proceedings. Among the witnesses was one as verdent a specimen of hu manity as one would wish to meet with." After a severe cross-examination, the counsel for the government paused; and then, putting on a look of severity, and an ominous shake of the head exclaimed, "Mr. Witness has not an effort been made to induce you to tell a different story V" "A different story from what I have told, sir?" "That is what I mean." "Yes, sir; several persons have tried to get me to tell a different story from what 1 have told, but they couldn't." "Now, sir, upon your oath I wish to know who those persons are." "Waal, I guess you've tried 'bout as hard as any of 'em." The witness was dismissed while judge, jury and spectators indulged in a hearty laugh. ADVlll ETO CON- IMIPTIVES.
