Mr. rraok Landis, of Oxford, was recently the victim of what came near being a fatal crime, so we leern from the Charlotte Xxwa. He was staying at a hotel it Louisville. Ky. He re tired at aignt leaving an order lobs called for the early morning train for Chattanooga. When the ball-boy called him, he found him almost nocoasotons, end while attempting to dreaa be Ml in a dead feint. . A physician was callad in, and upon examination >t was found he had been heavily chloroformed. It waa also found be had been robbed of S9O. Two men u the next room bad also been chlorofromsd and robbed.—Press Visitor. SIOO For a Wife.

While electricity is certain to effect a very material saving in manufactur ing it has other usee quite as Impor* tent. Whets there is one factory there may be hundreds of dwelling*, and when the electric current can be introdncod into these dwellings ita ad vantages will be manifold. As to economy, the Niagara falls power has produced the most startling result*. It ooete bnt #36 e year par horsepower for electricity used 24 hours tn the day. Thie ia much lesa than the cost of steam used 10 bonis a day. There are hopes that even these figuro* will be vary tnawrtaUv reduced, and that new appliances will show new usee tor electrioity, and that we will not only have our houses lightered and heated by this ineaua, bat it will tie able to perform many services automatically. One of tba latest adaption* of electric ity is its use in the laundry. Tba Irons are heated by electricity, and by prop er regulation a current 1* used which u absolutely uniform- All of the beat is utilized, and every stroke of the iron tolls, so there ie no waiting or weuder ine or questioning if the iron is hot enough. Another great advantage ia that it does not beat tba room, as the radiation from the iron is not percep tible. Gas heated irons vitiate the atmosphere, and the operators become weary and Ilka vitality. Where natur al gas bee therefore been employed for beating irons it la n v used to gener ate electricity, and tba change i*of great advantage, both financially and in the point of health.—New York Ledger. Lady Cecily- The following Is an account of Lady Cecily, ihe Docheo* of York, and tba mother of King Bichard 111.,- copied from an ancient record, of the manner in which she spent her day at one of the castles where she was residing. “She usoth to arias at seven of the clock, and hath ready* her chap leyne to say with bar mattins of the days (that ia, morning prayers), and when she ts folly readve, she hath a lowa mass in her chamber. After mass she taketh something to recreate nature, and aoa goeth to the cbapolle. Hearings the divine service and two lows masses. From thence to dvnner, daring the tyme of which she hath a lectors of holy matter (that is. reading from a religious book), either Ililton of Contemplative and Active Life, or some other spiritual and Instructive work. Alter dyfiner she piveth aud yencee to all such M bath any matter to shrive onto her, by the apace of one bower, aud then slcepth one quarter of an bower, and after she bath slept she contynncth In prayer until the first pealeofeven song* “In the tyme of enpper aha reeiteth the lectors that was had at dynner to those that be in her presence. After •upper she disposeth herself to be Bam yliars with her geotiewotnen to tbo seasoning of honest myrtha, and one bower before her goiug to bed she tak etb a cap of wine, ecd after that gosth to her pry vie cloeatte, and taketh bar leave of God for all night*, makings end of her prayers for that days, and by eight of the clock is in bsdde ” Paper Underclothing.

After the paper has been cat to a pattern, the different parts ere rawed together together sod hemm ed and the places whera the button boles are to be formed are strengthen ed with calico or linen. Tba staff is very storog and at the aims time very flexible. Attar a garment haa been worn a sow hoars it will interfora with the transportation of the body no more than do garments made of fabric*. Tbe stuff is not eiaed, nor is it im permeable. After brooming wet the paper le difficult to tear. When as ladeavor la made to tear it by hand It presents almost aa much resistance as the akin used for making gloves. Dynamite Explosion. A terrible accident occurred a few days ago at Herman town, Minn, seven miles from Duluth. Frank Lncek, a former living there, was thawing some dynamite to be need in cleaning land of stamp*. Ha was heating It over a fire whan it exploded, tearing the house almost to pieces and killing Luoak and two yoong sons. Hie wife sad another small boy emaped alive, but arc badly kart. The bov was blown through a window, and wbet re mained of tbo boom caught Are and was destroyed. The mother and ton warn taken to Dnintb and are In tlw hospital there.

Strict Attention to All the Details of Agriculture and Household Economy is Essential To Succtss. The Way to Create Capital at Home- How tn Obtain the Most Relia ble Artificial Fertilizer*. The nse of artificial fertilisers judic iously are fully jnsltfied by the faot that large crop* per aero only are profitable, and that the market value of small crop* oa a number of acre* hardly meet the expense of cultivation, aud yet the cnl tivatiou of Luge areas with small yield per sore is persistently pursued. This is a mistaken policy, and we aie satis fied that, in order to ocmblne profit and improvement by meana of commercial fertiliser*, farmer* should change or modifv their arstem. They should di vide their lands into a greater number of Add* of smaller area, so as to exteud the rotation by increasing the uumber of crops cultivated for nale and con sumption at home. Each field, as it is brought into cultivation, should be more thoroughly drained, plowed and tilled. This will loan re the crop and largely increase the chance of profit from the liberal use of commercial fertilizers. The commercial substances containing nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash in ' greatest abundance are those which will be found most profitable as plant food, ia conjunction with domestio manure* and wastes. It has been said that the different preparations of the super phosphates and of the bones containing phosphoric acid may be adulterated, especially the adulteration known as flour of bones. Ground hone calcined is thongbt to be more reliable. The Charleston phosphate orcopro lite, when ground and treated with sul phuric aohl is extensively used aa a source of phosphoric add., Burned bnnee are also used, and are said to be just as goo.l. But there is a difference between the raw bone* ground and the Charleston phosphate super-phosphate aud other phosphate* which should not be loet eight of. Iu the raw bouc ground there is considerable amount of organic matter tn addition to the phospborio ac id contained, while in tbe super-phoa phates and the Charleston coprolite there is no organic matter. Still the latter have a deservedly high reputation aa furnishing phosphoric acid iu large and valuable quantity, if tbe rocks are properly grouud and thoroughly mixed with the sulphuric acid, so that the acid can act on all particles of the mass and cause a conversion Into soluable super phosphate* of lime entirety available to the plant. Some apecimens of Charlea ton super-phoephatea some years since were found to be very poor and inert because, os stated, the rocks were im perfectly ground and insufficiently mixed with the acid, or because the acid was used in insufficient quantity or too Weak to act thoroughly on the whole mags. In this and in other ways the manufacturer* may furnish inferior sub stances. * * * Hence the impor tana* of every agriculturalist purchas ing their fertiliser* of old and reliable manufacturers, those whose constant thought and business has been for many year* to make the beet and most reliable goods, suited for each special crop Tbe fertiliser* of John G. Tinsley A Oa.. branoh of the Virginia-Csrolina Chemi cal Company, of Biohmoud, Vs., has ■food tbe best for many years. Their fertilisers are manufactured from the beet materiel and with the advice of of the most eminent chemist* in this country and Europe, and some of the mo«t successful and practical farmer* In the United States. Farming should be carried on mors as a regular business. The uncertain ties arising from meteorological and other conditions are no greater than those that attend most other avocations of life. The inattention to details, as too trifling to pay for tbe time and trou hi* involved, haa been tbe causa of ma ny failures which might have been avoided. Agriculture i* no lew* a jeal ous mistress than lb* other professions Strict attention to details hi regarded ae essential to auooem in all the scientific# industries, end farming run form no exception. It Is by this strict attention to all the details of agriculture and hooeebold eoonomy that the French people have attained snob success io cre ating capital at Home.
