ilipn arise from the mouth, and last,
like a candle, until the entile body is
consumed. At certain seasons of the
vear, these candle-fishes swarm in the
rivers and bays in vast numbers, and
every native man, woman and child is
engaged in capturing them. The
method of capture is quite curious.
They sire first driven towards the shore
by men in boats, where others stand
ready to sweep them on the hind by a
huge weapon, having teeth eight
inches long, like a comb. After being
dritdy aud smoked they are ready for
candles.
Do not use coal oil lamps in bed

They produce asthma, heart disease,

To the Fa miters of Rotran and Adjoin
ing Counties:
I would say I sun having shipped to
me another Normaa Stallion, being
thoroughly conviuced, since I com
menced farming. 25 years ago, that the
farmers of this county are greatly in
need okhenvier and better stock to farm
with uny degree of succeas. 1 have
given the different breeds of horees a
great deal of thought, aud have become
convinced that the average horse we
have now iii use hardly pays the ex
pense of raising, and if we attempt to
better them with the race or trotting
horse, by crossing on our native hor.-es,
we only make bad Worst. It has been
my habit for years in selecting a horse
or brood mare, to select one with
plenty of bone, and rather open made,
or more bone and muscle as we term it
here, and less beef on the limbs. I am
of the opinion that the farmers of
Pennsylvania, with their characteristic
energy, would have never met with the
success iu agriculture with the natur
ally thin soil thev have, if they had
made use of such stock as we are usiur.
There is more stock used here for farm
in'' purposes that weigh less than S00

IZjv lbs. lior.se, ana 1 nnd 111 driving
on the road or drawing a draft a 1200
1 lis. horse will do as much work as the
800 lbs. horse on about the same amount
of food. Then if we desire more work
add more food and we have Jthe power
to do it; but not so with the small
horse. Hut some will s iy we don't
want your tall, ill-shaped horse. Neith
er do I. There can be more small,
ill-shaped, splinter-legged horses found
in the streets and hitching lots of
Salisbury on some Saturd iys, I would
guess, than there is in all thj race of
Norman horses.
Lhave two gradei of Norman
mares on my farm that are worked
constantly at all kinds of work, and no
better tre tment given them than our
mules. The mares are admired by all
that see them. They are the best
walkers and trotters -that I have ever
owned of any breed, and I can realize
for either one of them, at any time,
about double the amount ofjxioney that
I could for a native animal. As to
prices, anything like a goxl blocky
Norman horse, let him be grade or
true bred Norman, he wOukl bring at
nd I tm
this time nearly double the money that
the native horse would bring.

IRVINQ BlsilOI PERFORili A WONDERFUL
FEAT IN NEW YORK.
The fact that Mr. living Bishop, the
mind-reader, was going to make a blind
dash out of the 'Hoffman House, New
York, some time during Saturday after
noon, and rush off in search of an arti
cle hidden somevraere within a mile, of
the hotel by committee selected for the
purpose, beeame so well known that a
great crowd gathered about the Twenty
fifth street entrances to the hotel, and
waited in the cold. A medallion be
longing to Mrs. Frank Leslie was en
trusted to Colonel T. W. Knox, Dr.
Hoyt, H. C. Buuneraud H. G. Carleton.
They went off out of the hotel with it,
and were gone half an hour. Then

An Encount3r With Wolves.
In former times wolves were nutner-
ous in Norway, and committed euor-
mous depredation upon sheep, and con-
sequent ly were much feared by the
owners of flocks whose only weapon for
destroying them (before the introduc
tion of lire-arms) was an ax. It was
dangerous for a 'man to travel in lonely
places, for these ravenous beasts had
been known to attack human beings,
when very hungry. In these days tliey
are seldom seen, and both wolves and
bears have been well nigh extermina
ted. The story is told of a Norwegian
farmer of seventy or eighty years ago,
who was conveying his swine to anoth
er estate, in the night. His road lay
across a pond which wn frozen over.
Upon his sled he had fastened a very
strong, high tub, in which he placed
the weighty animal, and covered it.
The tubs which are in common use for
washing, as well ;is other purposes, are
nearly four feet deep, and supported by
h.-ee feet. The middle of the pond was
reached when in the stillness was heard
the faint patter of and the distant
howling of u pack of wolves, and the
f''r"Jyr knew they were pursuing him
with swtrtr directness, rnow Wiu ms
tiiiie to exercise the coolest bravery and
the most adroit skill. He at once loos
ened his horse from his h trness and let
him go. The voracious creatures were
almost upon him when he threw them
the fat pork. He then overturned the
tub and hid beneath it as his only ref
uge, his axq his sole weapon. After
devourintr oiie delicious booty the wild
beasts tried to tret at the man and m
ke
lira their prey by thrusting their paws

wielded his axe with eiurgy and his
well-aimed blows cut off the members
steadily. The ferocious animals fell
b tCk 1 the ice, one after another,
Wee Ung and helplesi, but the farmer,
remained imprisoned until daylight, j
When he knew by the silence that 1 e
w is alone and sale he crept forth to
view the scene and mark the result of
"ie adventure. It appeared that eight

or ten of his foes had be
and the bloixly tracks ii
had been dest roved, !

showed that others had been wounded
and had crawled away. By the bounty
mJ .
which he received for killing the wolves
and the sale of the skins taken from
the n, the farmer gained a round sum,
although he lost the animal he svt out
with. The horse-had trotted back to
his st ible.

friend , Fountain Williams of Jones
county, sends a statement of his ten
ant, Mr. John K. Humphery, which
shows the results of his experince with
otton and chickens for the year 1S85.
At the beginning of the year Mr.
Humphery had forty bushels of cotton
sred for which he was offered five dol
lars, cash; but he had determined to
make one acre rich cotton, and refused
the five dollars for the cotton seed and
applied them with stable manure to
this acre. After his cotton was up and
growing, he made another application
of stable manure. From this acre he
obtained a bale of cotton which brought
him &31. One-half of this had to go
to Mr. Williams for land and team,
which left him 10. The picking of
the cotton was worth $0, leaving him
$10; the cotton seed he applied as ma
nure was worth $5, leaving him 85 for
his stable manure and cultivating one
acre in cotton.
But Mr. Humphery had better re
sults from poultry raising. L 1st Sep
tember he had twenty-five grown up
pullets which ate, up to the time of
m iking this strtement, two and one
half barrels of corn worth 87. From
them ire sold eggs to the amount of 29;
has Lifcy fhrifry young chickens and
three di-zen more eggs just ready to
hatch out.
Accor.1 1 1 r to Mr. Hu ni ph ery 's e xperi

profitable than a rich a re of cotton,
even if the farmer has the land of his
own to cultivate. Neivbern Journal.

teur. Character
There is no possession that is com- j
parable to character. It is the dia-1
tuond which cuts every other stone;
with it a man can penetrate and pass
through any wall of difficulty. ''With
it every misfortune is but a stepping
stone to some noble and lofty end. It
is an armor like that fabled one that
fell down from Jupiter. Clad in it a
man can breast all earthly storms, and
bid defiance even to the gates of hell.
Said the late W. H. Vanderbiit, lI am
the richest man in the world.'' But
the poorest peasant who seeks tirst the
kingdom of God and his righteousness
is richer than he was when he uttered
those boastful words. I heard a great
orator, standing over the dead form of
an bumble Christian, say: "There lies
a man who never did a mean thing."

In this new-pr.ieess, the metallic ob
ject is covered with a mixture of borate
of lead, oxide of copper, and spirits of
turpentine, and submitted to a tempera
ture of from 250 deg. to 330 deg. This j
deposit, upon melting, spreads in a uni- !
lornv layer over tne oojeci. men a
second coat is laid on. consisting of
borate of lead, oxide of copper, and oil
ot lavender. .Next, by means of
3
brush, the object is covered with a solu
tion of chloride of platinum, which is
finally evaporated at a temperature of
not more than 200 deg.
The platinum adheres firmly to the
surface, and exhibits a briliiuut aspect.
If the deposit be made upon the tirst
co.ii, the platinum will have a dead ap
pearance. Platinizing in this way
costs, it is said, about one-tenth the
price of nickel plating. Le Genie Cii il.
