Taerw was one a princess who m wwa-j beautiful but who was also very yru4 and self-willed, and who J ways preferred lo ride rl bunt taifcer than to alt tuodesllj io the leuae and spin. Hut to thi olden days it was cus tomary and fltt.nir (or rmcs. ewever beautiful and grand they aaurhl las, to spin and weave with their own bund and no otiti was ashamed to wear a (oa which she) had made lien.-K. Irniinkartlo alone considered it a uujranj to let I lis soft flax klip through her fair finger; and her dia lasts fur this occupation went so far leal she jjavo tl o strictest com asaad to have alt the spndles re moved from hrr presence and from the neighborhood of the castlu. that Iter eyes might not be troubled oil h tt alghl of the hated thing Me. dow rode and bunted the whole way; and great was hor duligbt it she would give the death blow to the cap tured Ug with her own hand, or Vrtnjr down the innocent bird with aer never-failing arrow. Onoe It happened that when Irmln (rde was out hunting she wa sud denly surprised by a violent shower. &he Bought shelter and aoon discov red a little cottage of whose existence either she oor anyone in her tra n bad hitherto any knowledge, although II stood but a Bhort distance from ttio royal castle. Irmlngarde entered with hor at tendant and beheld, by the blazing hearth-tire, a woman of wonderful beauty who was busily turning the plndlo while the yellow flax slipped swiftly through hor flngors. She cordially greeted the new. vomers and invited thorn to be sealed by the tire. But Irmlngarde bad no word of thanks for this friendly and hospit able welcome. The sight of the spin dle had aroused hor linger. In her rage s e walked up to the beautiful pinner and ordered her to desist im mediately from hor work and to here after remember the comrauuds of the princess. liut the beautiful woman only smiled; and, without suffering her lender flngors to resit a moment she replied: Dost thou think, proud princess, that thy command can binder what Heaven has orduinod for the use and bono lit of the human raceP (iod gave the flax that nion might not go naked like the nnimuls; and that every maiden might be taught those arts which shall tit her for a future wife and housekecpor. It Is for rough men to bear the spear and bow; a maiden should adorn horsulf with genilenoss and practice those uceom plishmonts which are learned by in dustry and labor at the sacred hearth tone of tha homo." A scornful laugh escaped from the lips of the princess. Q'-Dost thou believe." she cried, "that thy foolish words can change me into a servant? Let others think, if they please, thai the gods have made this low work for womon. 1 do not! and I would rather not havo any husband I would rather that all men hould flee from mo, than to lower my pride and disgrace myself by such common drudgery!" The beautiful spinner arose. Tall be stood, as a goddesa with bluzlng yes and angry glance. So let it be," sho said. -Thy wish shall be fulfHIod. Never shall the love of roan make thee happy; for .' thou rejected the most beautiful or nament of noble womanhood. Yea all men Bhall fee from thee, and who ever touches thee shall' curse thee. The spindle, which thou hast brought Into disgrace, with tha industry and the Oiling work of woman, shall be come the instrument of thy punish ment, nnd thy lingers, which would never spin a thread, shall hereafter themselves be spun." And thus it happened. A terrible torm broke forth. The lightning and the thunder resounded from the clouds thai were as black as night The attendants of the princess fled in terror. But when the storm was over, when the skies were again clear. . there lay. where the house of the apinoer had stood, only a heap of tones; and over the ruins, grew the nettle. This, the pea ant folk say. is the princess, who on account of her wicked pride, was changed into this prickly plant from whose stinging lingers all men flee, and whose flax like libers are spun and woven into cloth. 1-rora the tier man.

Cor Is write of Henry CI farewell to the senate In the Ladles' Hume Journal, rcgardlnc It as the moat dramatic event ever witnessed In the Totted States senate. Almost from ths opening words of the famous valedic tory the vast assemblage of people ers In tears, and the "Great Common er" was frequently Interrupted by the sol of his auditors. "Tbs scene was Ind.vd Inipreswlve as Mr. Clay pro nounced the concluding words of bit farewell to public life," says Mr. Coyle "He stood for a moment after In rever ential attitude, while all about blra strong mn, swayed by the magnetic power of the great orator, wept In al ienee. The bushed suspense of intense feeling and attention pervaded the crowded assemblage aa the famous statesman, with lowering eyes, re sumed his seat. For several moments the silence was unbroken; senators aat as It In the shadow of some impending calamity; men of all parties seemed equally overcome by the pathos and majesty of the great statesman's fare well. As air. Clay rose to leave the chamber after adjournment, which di rectly followed his address, and after he had aald farewell to all the other senators, he encountered Mr. Calhoun. The eye of the whole assemblage were Died on these two old friends and old political antagonist. There waa a pause In the demonstration which awaited Mr. Clay the moment of sus pended anticipation was almost pain ful For Ave years they had been es tranged, and the only words which had passed between them had been those harshly spoken In debate. But now, as they met, the old time came over them. They remembered only the political companionship of twenty years' stand ing. The Intervening differences which had chilled their hearts toward eacli other were forgotten. The tears sprang to their eyes. They shook each other cordially by the hand. Interchanged a 'God bless you, and parted. The re leased suspense which awaited this tearful scene found vent In shouts and cheers, which were taken up by the crowds outside the senate chamber, ex pecting Mr. Clay's appearance. He was surrounded by the waiting thousands on his way to his carrluge, and throngs followed him even to his hotel." Cholera, Infantum. No one supposed that cholera Infan tum Is wilfully caused by mothers or persons who have infanta In charge: yet in soma places a large proportion of all children born die of that dla ease. That it results from causes which are preventable are shown by several facts: (1) Among the higher classes of peo ple the mortality is very much less than among the less Intelligent and less provident. (2) Infanta who are nourished only by mother's milk are almost wholly exempt from cholera Infantum. (3) The disease Is undoubtedly causeo by changes In the Infant's food or drink, due to bacteria, fungi, or soini sort of micro-organisms. Diarrhoea. What is true of cholera Infantum is, in great part, true of di arrhoea. The great cause of Infant mortality Is largely due to Ignorance and carelessness on the part of those who have the care of children. It ought to be known to every per son who has the care of a child during the hottest day of July and August that a good light, clean, dry, warm fannel over the entire abdomen Is a very Important article for every child who Is In danger of any bowel trouble. The rapid evaporation of perspiration, and the consequent serious coldness of the abdomen, can be prevented by the flannel. Illgceat Farm on Karth. The largest farm In this country and probably In the world is situated In the southwestern part of Louisiana. It extends 100 miles east and west. It was purchased in 1S83 by a syndicate of northern capitalists, by whom it Is still operated. At the time of its pur chase its 1,500.000 acres was a vast pasture for cattle belonging to a few dealers In that country. Now It is di vided into pasture stations or ranches, existing every six miles. The fencing Is said to have cost about $50,000. The land is best adapted for rice, sugar, corn and cotton. A tract, say half a mile wide, is taken, and an engine Is placed on each side. The engines are portable and operate a cable attached to four plows. By this arrangement thirty acres are gone over In a day with the labor of ' only three men. There Is not a single draught horse on the entire place, if we except those used by the herders of cattle, of which there are 16,000 head on the place. The Southern Pacific railway runs for thirty-six miles through the farm. The company has three steamboats operat ing on the waters of the estate, cf which 300 miles are navigable. It has also an Ice-house, bank, shipyard and rice mills. From the Knoxville Trib une. ScoUr's Remarkable Appla Tree.
