The Pinos of Arzona generally gprepare the grave before the paticut dies, and, should he persist in recovering, the grave icleft open until he does die. Stone graves, or cists, are rare, although some have been found in Tenncssee. = The Utes bury in caves.

The widow is compelled to lie on ho burning pile till her body is covered with blisters. She is then compelled to dip her hands in the liquid fat which is- sues from the body of the corpse and annoint her face and body with it. When the sinews of the legs and arms of the body begin to contract, she is compelled 1o straighten those members. For any sus- pected infidelity, the friends of lier hus- band are at liberty to throw her back on the burning pile, from which she is draggad by her own friends. . Probably the ghastliest performance of the surviving noble savage is the “ghost gamble,” a game plaged for the possession of the property of the deceasced. All the property is divided into many small piles, to give each Indian invited to play a chance to win something. One Indian represents the ghost; the players are called in, one at a tinie, and play against him. If the in- vited player succeeds in beating the ghost, he takes a pile of goods and passes out, and so on until all the goods are won. This game, which is peculiar to the Bioux, is played in recent years with cards, but, before the Indian_became “civilized,? it was played with wild plum stones, va- siously figured. e ——— Concentrate Vitalit -, All excitants, to radically cure, must be innocent.

Denton gave several striking illustrations of the earth's age. First, he said, we had evidence of the earth’s great age in the tiny particles of soil beneath our feet. The great trees of California with from 1350 to 2,350 annual rings of vegetablo growth, reveal the fact that these monarchs 5f the vegetable world were saplings when Nebuchadnezzer was horn. The great fal- len Monarch of the Forest has been esti- mated tohave been 4,000 years old and grevw from seed propagated by older parent trees, nd these in turn from grandparents, whoso crumbled dust fori: to nourish their younger progeny many such generationsoccurred no one can But older than these are the piacial beds. When these plonghed their =~y ovar the surface of North Amer e, Seandinavia they planed out mighty beds and _ground and polished down the uneven surface of o former age. In this remote age, the coast >f New England was like that of Green- land at the present day. Few reologists will place the glacial period at less than 100,000 years ago. But we could go back still further. In the tertiary strata of Cal- ifornia has been found what are called the earliest human remains ever discovered. Theso existed many thousand years ago, when one-half of New Jersey, one-thiid of Virginia, all of Florida, part of Texas and Great Britain were under water, Tho Mediterranean sea was then double its pres- nt size, and the Gulf of Mexico extended to Ohio. A large part of California was ander the bed .of the Pacific ocean, and waters then extended back to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, But older than this period and formation was the underlying stratification of chalk; 3till older was the Trinssic, and older yet, ‘he new red sand-stone. Older yet was the :arboniferous formation, Then - further back was the old red sand-stone, such as comes to the surface in parts of Scotland. Again, still lower, the older Silurian, then the older Laurentian, seen at the surface in Western Canada, and older yet‘than all these the granite or great underlying rock, the parent that thrusts itself up as the Dbackbone of continents, cutting through all others to show us on the surface what is below.

The repod of the corn ¢ ops grown by Vermont boys given in taese colunmina recently is an_extraondinary les- son for old farmers, and one of the great- est value, A few years ago it would have been reccived with incredulity, hut the new ideas which now prevail in regard to corn render that surprising statement per- fectly credible. What farmer after read- ing the account given can doubt the possi- bility of himself reaching the yield of 100 bushels of corn per acre. This record is but one o' many that have been given in theso columns during the past three or years, and in each case the conditions s appear to be the same. This unanimity of resnlt is sufficient to amount toa law, and its requirements may be taken as including everything that is need- ed for one to reach the same ends. These requirements are very simple and but few in number. They are: The selection of good seed of some established variety ; wood soil, well prepared ; abundant manu - ing or fertilizing, and the best cultivation frequently given and long continued, and in many cases it has been shown that level cultivation is most effective. Now fhese requirements are nothing new. Every farmer knows that they are needed for any and every crop and that, when they are provided, the soil responds with alacrity and liberality, and the corps reach the maximum. It is simply doing the best for the soil, o s generous and y to re- pay back with interest what It is the true principle of economy, which is, to use the means we have 80 us to pro- duce the very best results, knowing that ¢ surplus bushel produced by the ad- dition of fertilizers and cultivation adds to the profit in a larger ratio, because the fixed charges for land, for plowing, for the weed, for planting, for the greater part of the cultivation, for the cutsing handling and hauling are the same for ven bushels per acre grown on poor soil as 100 bushels per acre grown on the richest land. Air and water are food for plants; they not only contribute to their sustenance, but they 1ssist proportionately in redue- ing organic matter to its mineral clements and to a soluble condition, and to effect & disintegiating and solvent action of the mineral particles of the soil. The more the surince of' the soil is stirred and loos- ened the more moisture is absorbed and reaches the roots; and as the circulation of moisture and the changes of temperature consequent upon it are necessarily fo'low. -1 by circulation of air, both water and air .re, therefore, encournged to circulate in the soil by frequent cuitivation, and thus the desircd and necessary effects are pro- duced. One of the largest erops of corn that has been grown, viz, 160 bushels per acre, was cultivated once a week up to the time' when the ears were forming, and when the silk had been fertitized ; and at this late perfod a dressing of special corn fertilizer was cultivated into the soil. It is one of the points to be aimed at that the grow!h of ears and grain should be en- couraged rather than that of stalk and leaf, excepting v {o a certnin size. / stalk nine or ten feet in length is large “nough for tie purpose of fodder, and if it is no¢ more than one and owe-hait' inches 1 thickness ut the base it is enough. Plen- y of leaf growth is desirabie because the grain cannot be matured without this ; buf beyond the requirements of the grain, ex- tessivo leaf growth is Dot of importance. Ilow it seems to be proved that frequent sultivation of the soil helps the plant to produce more grain, increase its sexual fer- tility and prevents abortive ears or vacant snaces in the ears,and this is precisely whnt wo should aim at in growing corn, becaunsc we can grow large enongh stalks, but wedo not very often bring anywhere near maturity the numerous smzil ears or nubbins, or fill with ears the .many husks which appear at the sheaths. If we can ucceed in doing this, as has heen very suc- cessfully attempted by Professor Blount, wo cannot tell what the limit of the pos- siblo product of corn may he up to 200 or 300 bushels per acre. For if we can pro- duce cight or ten good ears on every stalk upon an acre of ground—and this has been done upon some_stalks—we need not stop short of 600 or 800 bushels of grain per acre. Whether we may ever reach the half or the quarter of this no one can tell, but wwhen we consider what has been done it may not be ash to hint at what may yetbe done when we shall have learn- ed the whole secrets of corn-growing, The ccessity for thorough cultivation of the oil and” the absence of weeds among the »lants—frequent and clean cultivation, in oty is the fourth new idea tnat we have learned in regard to corn-growing.—New rk Times, o —— A Startling Discovery.

I have seen this remarkable phenomena before, but never on such a gigantic scale, The first one was seen about six miles away. A stream of water scemed to rise from the level of the ocean, and at the same time another stream descended from the heavens and depended from a dark rain-cloud like a great icicle. The two streams met abcut midway between sky and water, and then began to move rapidly to the eastward. The hase of the waterspout appeared to be nearly a quarter of a mile wide, and then it tapered toward the middle into an al- mostimperceptible line, Suddenly itbroke, nd there was a mighty heaviug and tum- wiing about of the waters in #he vicinity. We saw twelve spouts that afternoon dur- ing some heavy rain squalls, At one time I saw four of them at once. They looked like lofty spires of u cathedral. Through our glasses we conld see that the tops of the spouts were lost in the cloucs, Itisa scientific fuct that the discharge of a can- non in the neighborhood will alwaye cause these water-columns to break, The passent gers insisted that the discharge of a pistol would create suflicient vibration in the air to destroy a spout which was a wile away. I loaded my revolver and fired twice ab th spout. At the second shot it b . 1 don’t know whether it_was the result of the firing or not, but the thiug happened just as 1 tell you, aud at least it was o re- markable coincidence, Every time a spout burst, the top part of it seemed to vanish 1| into vapor, but the under part would rock - | tho sea for miles, and our vessel experience ed the violent effects, In fact, all that afternoon the water was disturbed. ~Sev- eral times it was thought we would have to change our coursy, but the spauts did not approach too near for sa e — The best regulator of digestive organs an the best appetizer known is Angostura Bit- ters, Try it, but beware offimitatic Get wonuine artl: B, Biegart & manufactured by Dr. J.
