When In Apply Manure. Tho commou practice among farmers ia to make a general clearing of the yarda and baru cellars oiieo n year, either iu tho spring or fall. Kit her prac tice makes a heavy draft upon the teams, aud has its disadvantage. If this work is done iu tho spriug, it is when the ground is soft aud other work is exceed ingly pressing. If tho manure is drawn out iu tho fall and dropped in heaps upou the Held to be cultivated next sea son, there is more or less waste by leach ing and by evaporation. There is a growing disposition among eur intelli gent farmers to tq ply manure directly to growing crops, or as near tho time of planting und sowing us possible. It is ielt thut the sooner manure is put with iu reach of the roots of plants, the bet ter for the crops aud their owners. Ma nure is so much capital iuvested, aud bears interest only as it is consumed iu the soil. Tho baru cellar may be so managed as to mauufactitre aud turn out fertilizers every mouth iti Ihe year, so that the farmer may suit his couveuieuce iu ap plying them to tho soil. When manure is tot wauted for cultivated crops it is ulways bafe to apply it to the grass crop, either iu pastures or upon meadows after mowing.

Among the C.oM liars. 'A gold ooiu is worth its value the world over,' said aD official at the Phila delphia mint. lint sovereigns and napoleons do not circulate iu this country. What, then, becomes of them after they get here V Come iu here,' said the mint official, loading tho way into a little strong wallod chamber, withtmt a single win dow iu it, lookiug much, iu the dim light of the gas, like au enlarged edition of a safe. There, were hundreds of chunks of smooth, bright yellow metnl piled up on halt a dozen Bniall tiuaks. These, chunks varied iu size. One might be lifted with one baud. Another would require two bauds. Others could not be lifted tit all. 'There',' said the cffumil, placing one of the latter iu the visitor's hands, 'lift that.' It was 'lifted' accordingly. It was a good lift, too. 'There are about $r.,tK!0 iu that piece,' said the official. 'Move that truck ouee,' ho said, with a t-ly expression of couuteuanee. The most vigorous effort that could be mustered up failed to make it budge. I'pou it lay seventy or eighty of those shining chunks of metul. There are about fcl.OOO.lHKi worth of gold iu what you see here yes, over two million. These have beeu ehielly Luglish sovereigns and French napole ons. They came here from the govern ment assay t hVo iu New York, w here they are melted up. Exporters receive tin iu, you sec, iu payment for goods, and send them to brokers, who in turn send them to tho assay otlice, where they get American gold c iu for them,' Further talk showed that the govern ment is accommodating enough to cs- ' change for the f .reign money tther ; Americau coiu or gold 'H icks,' or gold I in whatever shape the owner of the e nn i might desire. Of course this hua heth ' ing to do with the transactions i tl.i Americ in exporter, who wants what he cau make immediately available to tin ! wants of his business tlu gold dollar.

Not a single foreign eoiu of all the millions that go there yearly is 'pus e.V or paid for until its value is u.-eert.iitied. To do this involves some work. Weight ti'i.l quality are thi thiugs sought. It is tli'st weighed, theu put iu a pot an ! melted. Sometimes the pot absorbs some of it, and then it has to be broken and melted itself. If there is even 'le as an eighth of au ouuee u'.noib i ihe pot must bo broken nud that precious morsel eliminated from it. After it is melted it is we'gho 1 again. Allowance is made for the slight loss it must ueeessurily sustain in passing thtough the crucibles, and, with this allowance, it must exactly compare with its original weight us a coin. After its value is thus ascertained the Lioker, or v hoever brought, it there, receives its equivalent iu American gold, or gold in at.v ether shape he may wish. Awther consideration obtains iu the me'ui.ir up pii eess, and this is to make sure that no counterfeit o!u shall be paimt .1 otl' ou tho government. 11 irely dot s this occur iu the ease of gold com, for tho reasou that the brokers and others who bring them there are gener ally expert in detecting counterfeits themselves; but iu the silver Mexican dollar it frequently happens; more so probably thau in any other coin of thnt denomination.

Iu (i ilieia the two leadiug parties a ro I'olish and Hutheuiau, At the le ceut election efforts were made by both sides to secure the success of their can didates, and the two principal hotels on the market-place of lireezau were tilled with electors who had arrived from the country to record their votes. The Hut be nions, mostly prieds of the I'tiited (ireek church, who occupied one of these hotels, determined to steal a march ou their oppoueuts by going to the place where tho election was to be held at suurise, in order to win votes for their side. Accordingly, r.t 5 o'clock iu the m"rniu.9; of the polling day, they ealltd the wuiter to brush their clothes and lKtd. Tuo waiter came and took away the garments, bat, although the priests wane.! marly hu hour, he did uot bring them back. Tiu v rang and shouted, but in vaiu, all the people of the hotel seemed to be asleep. At last the priests b"gau lo suspect that a trick was being played upou them. It became evi.lent that they mud either allow tho election to bo com plot id with out takiug part iu it, or go barefooted nud without their uether garment to the voting place. They cho.so the sec ond course; but here, too, their adver saries were too much for them. Scarce ly hud they came out of the hotel wheu a I'olish pi lieeiuan came up aud threat ened to put them in prison for improper conduct, if they did not returu at ouee to their rooms. There was nothing for it but to go back, aud the Poles won the election. A Mother' Enduring Loie. A tououing story of the endurance of humau love is that of a mother iu a West Virginia village whose sou went out one evening, thirty years ago, asking her to bavo supper ready for him when he should eomo back. Whether he wosmurdcrcdor raunway to sea nobody knows. Ho lias never re turned. His mother, now feeble au.l white-haired, makes rcaly for him every night, places his chsir by the table aud waits. Ha will iwiae somo day,' she pays, and then he will see that I never have forgotten him.' Oue canuofc but hope that the loving patience of the poor waiting heart may yet be rewarded.

A uew instrument for multiplying copies of letters, etc, has becu intro duced iuto England uuder tho uumo of tho trypograpb. It seems a modification of Edison's electrii pen. A bheet of special paper i phicod ou a perforating tablet, and the wiiting iH done with a firm baud aud a steel-pointed stylus. This has tho effect of piercing tho poper with a number of very minute perfora tions, through which it is possible to force ink on to the sheet of paper placed beneath. The making of tho steueil is the most important part of tho opera tion. A littio praetico will show the proper amount of pressure to put upou tho stylus uud Ihe easiest way of writing; aud this once accomplished, it will bo uuderfateod that the number of copies is limited i'uly by tho duration of tho steucils, which can bo dorod away for future use, uud brought out as required. No press ia needed; all that ia wanted is something with a ti ll mrfuee, the means of holdiiq; the stencil tlrndy.iiud a tquco gce for cerupiug the ink over the stir froj.
