Schenck bed been so long in public life and away from Ohio that he didn't know. even by sight half of the numerous nephews who were the sons of his half-dozen • brothers. He was appointed brigadier- • general, and it so happened that one of the regimenis assigned to his brigade. over in Virginia was the Second Ohio, commended by Colonel Alexander Mc- Dowell McCook, , Several of the companies, of this regt- ment were raised in and around Day- ,. ton, -'where the Schenoks --lived in swiirmit, and, as the family Was loya all through, there was a goodly number of cichencks in Company B and Com,. panyF of that regiment.. . It so hap- pened that the Schenck contingent in the regiment wai thoroughly imbued. with a love of fun, and when any mu - chief was afoot the Schenck, were sure to have a hand in it; if a party was ° hauled up _for discipline one or more - &hawks was sure to be in the number. The fact was very annoying to the Gen- tral, as might have been.eupected, and he did not try to -conceal his. annoy- ance. While the brigade lay near Fair- fax Courthouse strict orders against - foraging wine issued; I believe it Was eveLthreatened to have foragers shot. ..One morning a party of five foragert; capftiredthe night before, way brought before 'General &hen& for examin- ation. The General looked at the faces closely, but recognized none, and then asked the first man:: " What is your name and regi- ment?" "Peter Brown, Se.--cond Ohio, ?" '"Oh l" (in A -relieved tone of Voice), I WIN afraid that you might be one .of those. bink Sphenck's," " What's your tamer he 'inquired of the nett. ' The youth looked the General straight in the eye and answered cheerfully, " Why, General, I'm one of those • blank Schencki," • The officers standing by did not try to restrain their topisteroos mirth, while General Sohenolealared furiously at the .unabashed Buckeye youngster. 41n a -moment he shouted to the officer of the guard: • . - "Take these scoundrels away. I will attend to them another. time." The • ,eulprita were marched off and the Gen- • -mai had time to just get into his tent before he broke out into a prolongedfit of laughter." --Exchange. . The Gresnd Old Woman.: Mrs. Mary. A. Livermore, while leo: Wring recently in New Hampshire, re- .oeived this most 'unfortunate intro - .duction from a 'Young minister :-"Lad- les and _gentlemen, you have *'all heard oft he illustrious man across the water • ao beloved by his people,and who is known by the sobriquet 0the "grand old man." 1 have now the pleasure of . introducing to you a lady beloved in Boston, and known there as the "grand old woman." but es they Only averaiecl about one • • - Sweet is 'Revenge...

Palling Trees By Eletcriity.. Hitherto machines for felling- trees have been driven, by steam power, but this is sometimes inconvenient, especi- ally in thick woods, and electric power has recently been adopted in the !Galician forests'. :Usually in such ma - Chines the trunk is sawn, but in . this case it is drilled. When the wood is of a soft nature the dull has a sweeping motion and cuts into the truhk .by means of cutting edges on its sides. The drill is actuated, by an electric motor mounted on a .carriage, which is brought up close to the tree and shack- led to it. Time motor is capable of.turn- ing round- its vertical axis;•and the drill is geared to it lfl such a manner that it can turn through • an are of M circle and make a sweeping out into the trunk. The first cut made, the drill is advanced a few inches and another sec- tion of the wood removed in the _same way until the trunk is half severed. it then clamped to keep the out fro closing, and the operation •contin until it woald be unsafe to go On. - remainder is finished by a hand an axe. The current is conve the motor by insulated 4eags egg apiece in three ays, I suppose there was lime enough in their food to supply their need. The, other hens, where the shells did make ,a difference, were laying ,at the rate of two eggs apiece in every three days. I noticed*. that the greatest layers ate more of the shells than the poor layers, and from. that fact I .concluded that a hen wouldn't eat more shells than she need- ed. -Prairie Farmer. - • Justice Lamar's Absent- Jus;iee' La.minarlsnadlie bsentindness' has • been a prolific theme with newspaper writers at the national capita, ,Wash- ington. -The last' story at Justice Lamar's expense was that wherein he was described as vainly attempting to drop a letter in a ' fire -alarm . box: A new story is put in circulation to the effect that a few days ago Mrs. Lamar noticed the Judge standing a much longer time than usual before his dress- ing mirror. . As he is not generally in- clined to self -contemplation, SIM in the philosophical sense, she naturally asked what was the trouble.

'. • 11. Georges Ville, a -French. 'scientific agriculturist, after almost thirty years • cif assiduous researches on the experi- mental farm at Vincennes, has _made a remarkable mid impdrtant disc -every of a relation existing between the color of plants and the richness of *oils in fer- tilizing warn: His conclusions, re- cently reported to the Paris Academy of Science, deserve consideration by all farmers and !horticulturists. - He finds that the color of the leaves of plants 4undergoes a marked change wheneverfthe soiF is lacking in .phos- phate, potash, lime or nitrogen. The color remains light green or turns to yellow when ,the soil is deficient in phoitphate, potash or nitrogen. When none of the fertilizing elements are visaing the color is dark green.- . By his experiments,. M. . Vile furnish- es agriculturists, with possitive indi- cations .by which they can determine with the gieatest facility what kind of fertilizer the soil needs most or in what elements of . fertility it abounds. His experiments should be repeated by our Department of Agriculture and the resUltsipublished. The practical infor- mation which might thus be supplied to American farmers would enable many of them to ;" make two blades of grass grow where one now`grews.-,New York.
