A rather singular incident occurred on the Savannah, Florida and Western railway the other day. It was about forty miles from Waycrosson a through train to Chattahoochee. On the track just in front of the train the engineer, Mr. Dultosc, saw a sheep with a young lamb. 1 1 was too late to stop the en gine, and the train passed on, leaving mutton in its wake. " Arrived at Way cross the engineer descended from his engine and saw the lamb alive and un hurt on the cowcatcher. It had been carried forty miles without a scratch. "German Syrup" I am a farmer at Edom. Texas. I have used German Syrup for six years successfully for Sore Throat, Coughs. Colds, Hoarseness, Pains in Chest and Lungs and Spitting-up of Blood. I have tried many kinds of Cough Syrups in my time, but let me say to anyone vanting such a medicine German Syrupisthe best. We are subject to so many sudden changes from cold to hot, damp weather here, but in families where German Syrup is used there is little trouble from colds John F.Jones.

"Did dat air scrapin' ob de yearth, Wash Scrimp, say dat, huh?" " 'Less I's a liar, suah's yo're bo'n.

No, sah; ef yo' wan ter go co'tin' to-night, I 'vise yo1 to go pa'red to 'nihilato an army. Dat's lal I got to say. Good-night." Most assuredly our colored hero had more than one rival for the affec tions of so great a prize in the matri monial market from a Dusky Hollow staindpoint as tho buxom daughter of Deacon Moses, but he feared oaly the one I have designated, and who, it rnaj bo naturally inferred, was tho I subject of the dialogue I have given. As tho door closed with a slam, which threatened to tear it from its rust-eaten hinges, tho troubled lover covered his face with his huge hands and uttered groan after groan. "Hi. dar, 'Polen Cromwell Jones, what's dis rumpus 'bout?" called out a big, burly negress, who was bendinsr over the firo, and who had been a J silent witness to the foregoing con versation. "1 say dar, what yo mean by all dis bellerin'?" "Mammy!" exclaimed the other, suddenly straightening up his bulky frame so his head touched the low I ceiling, "git me my big-coon walkin1- stick, sich es I raps ober tho yanni- mals wiv whon dey is cornered." Then, while mammy listened with speechless amazement, and he pounded the floor with his heavy cane, Tolon continued in his jerky style of speech: "1 tell yo1 I tell yo1 no fool nigger is goin' to trabble ober dis chile Ion' ! is goin' to trabble ober dis chile i Ion' widout suffcrin' de consequences! I I jess giv1 yo' fair warnin' dat air J Wash Scrimp don1 fool wid mo no mo'. His brack days air num washa!" The last exclamation was called forth by a loud rap at the door, which startled tho inmates. "Who can dat be?" exclaimed U'olcn in a staccato whisper. Another rap, louder than the first, followed, and then a thick, gutteral voice declared: "Hi dar, Napoleon Cromwell Jones!, you's wanted!" " Yit's dat big coward Wash Scrimp" muttered Tolen, letting tho cane slip from his giasp to fall upon tho floor with a loud crash. "What's dat fool nigger, prowlin' 'round hones1 folks1 houses fo1?" "Hi dar, Tolcn!" demanded him outsido, "how long do yit take yo1 to open dis air door?" "I ain't hyur!" retorted he with the names of two warriors, while he shook like an aspen. "Yo-ho! dat's a good on1, Tolcn. But yo1 don't seem to 'member dat I am leetlc Phil Potts.

Den yo1 git to Deacon Moses1 slick en yo1 beard de den right in de lion, es 'twere," It was some time before the slug gish intellect tf 'Polen Could Com prehend the scheme, but after con siderable demurring and bravado of his kind he consented, when Mammy brought .forth a grimed-and-jrellow sheet, which Phil declared was what they needed. I s'pose yo'il go 'ldng to see dat t do yit fair," said 'Polen, when every thing was in readiness for the under taking. "Dat'd cause a s'picion en sp'il do game. No; ye1 mus1 go 'lone en min1 wot I say. Neber hurry. De hog's a bery dslib'rate creetur." Phil did. however, consent to ac company his friend to the edge of the growth, where he saw that the other was disguised as carefully as he might be and started on his way with the parting injunction to move slowly. 'Polen had been refused tho possess ion of his club and he began his tedious advance with many mis givings. But as he crept along on his hands and knees without hearing anything to arouse his fears he grew calmer and was beginning to think his adventure was not so very bad after all, when a low grunt familiar to his ears but unexpected at that time and place startled him. It came from his rear, and glancing back over his shoulder his surprise may be imagined at sight of one of tho very creatures he had been gotten up to resemble following on his heels. At first he was alarmed, but upon second thought he concluded there could ba no danger from such a pur suit, and finding courage from the fact that it showed his disguise must be nearly perfect to deceive the real animal, he kept on. It seemed a long distance through the woods that night, but not a sound had disturbed the even tenor of his progress, and at last to his great joy the lights from Deacon Moses1 win dows shone near at hand The hog still persisted in following him, and seeing three or four persons in front of the house, whom he antici pated had discovered him, he felt it would be inore prudent for him to wait until they had disappeared be fore he threw off his disguise. But he had already seen that something unusual was taking place there, and thus excited he kept on at a pace which puzzled the porker behind him to imitate. Nearly choked with suppressed emotion, 'Polen had almost reached the scene of his hopes and fears and was about to spring to his feet, when some one cried: "Hyur kems a couple ob Sam John sin's pesky shotes! Head 'em off dar, Sambo!" To escape detection 'Polen darted through a gateway near by to find himself the next instant floundering in the mire of a hog wallow, while the creature pursuing him reached his side as tho gate closed with a slam. "Kecken dem air shotes won't trouble us enny mo1." said a voice outside, with an exultant ring to its tone. In his frantic efforts to escape his hapless fate Tolen rent the sheet in twain, but as his stalwart figure as sumed its normal position there was the tearing of more cloth and the resurrection of a second mud-covered form that matched his six feet of African manhood. Tho amazed twain stared fiercely upon each other for a moment, when they simultaneously exclaimed: "Wash Scrimp!" " 'Polen Jones!" In the midst of their perplexed feelings of surprise and rage the gato was swung cautiously ajar enough to admit a woolly - pate, while tho owner asked in a shrill whisper: "Tolen, is yo' dar?" Before he could reply another sup plemented the query with "Wash, is dat yo'?" "What do all dis foolishness mean?" demanded Tolen Jones, making as hasty an exit from that undesirable place as it were possible for him under the circumstances, closely fol lowed by Wash Scrimp. Notwithstanding their sorry ap pearances and the jeers of the spec tators, the bewildered twain made a simultaneous rush for the house, to be met at the door by a bridal train led by that sable, if not fickle, belle of Dusky Hollow, Extra Medley, lean ing lovingly and confidingly on the arm of Billingsgate Fish! The groom deigned his discomfited rivals a scornfuldook as he passed on his triumphant way, when slowly and painfully it dawned upon their slug gish minds that they had been aliko duped by the cunning artifices of him who had borne off tho prize each had coveted, while they had unconsciously acted a very ridiculous part. Deep and dire were the threats offered against the other, none of which were ever carried into effect as far as the history shows of Dusky Hollow. National Tiibune. WltfiB Lincoln Waltzed. General Butler was fond of telling a story of his visit to Washington, after successful operations at Hat teras. He arrived at night and called up Mr. Fox. assistant secretary of the navy. Jdr. Fox suggested that they go at once to the White house and inform Mr. Lincoln of the good news. Mr. Lincoln had retired, but came out into his office in his night dress, a costume that added to his appearance of extremo height. Mr. Fox was a man not more than five feet high. As soon as the news was reported to Mr. Lincoln, he opened his arms, Mr. Fox fell into them, grasping the president about the hips, and they flew around the room once or twice in what General Butler described as the most exciting waltz deshabille to which be had ever been a witness. Argonaut. The Parent's Dreaded Story. "Yes," said Tomlinson, with a sud den interest in the conversation, "my little boy is just five years old. He's one of the oddest little fellows.

Chicago'News-jSficord, A fcERVY SERVANT GIRL; Kjww Whra a Dress Wald Fit Hot Whm She Has Want It, They were talking about servant girls; and each woman of the party had a story of the wrongs she had suffered at the hands of those tyrants. The circle broke up when Mrs. Mc Bank had added her contribution, says the Omaha Bee. "Mr. Mc., you know, is an awfui crank on base ball," said Mrs. Mc. "and we had an awful time keeping a girl one summer when he was in terested in the local ball team. I was quite ill all summer aild had to be waited upon continually. Just be fore the Fourth of July our girl left "us and Mc. brought home a great big colored woman from the intelligence office. "She was a splendid girl and we got along with her first rate until the Fourth came along. Mr. Mc had to go to tho ball game that day, and the night before wo consulted as to what we should do to induce Rose that was the girl's somewhat inap propriate name to stay at home with mc on the Fourth. Mr. Mc couldn't think of missing tho game, and we finally decided to brib tho woman, and I was authorize:! to give her $10 to forogo tho pleasure of cele brating tho day. Mc went down town after supper, and I called Rose to my room and told her 1 would give her 51 extra if she would stay with mo on the Fourth. " Oh, Lordy. no; I wouldn't stay for no dollah.'replied.Rosewith more emphasis than I thought tho occasion warranted. I offered her $2, 2.5). 3, $4. and finally I told her I would give $5- for her da3''s work. 'Tell you what I'll do,1 she answered to this proposition; 'I'll stayMf you'll give me $5 and that pink dress up stairs.1 What pink dress do you moan?' I asked. 4Why, that pink gingham,' tho nervy thing answered. "I had paid sixty cents a yard for a pretty gingham, and it was made up go that it cost mo closo to 20. 'But that wouldn't fit you Rose,1 I said. The black huzzy threw her self back and said, with a laujh: Oh, yes, it will, for I had it on down town last night.1 That settled it, of course, as I could not wear the dress again. She got $5 and the dress, and it rained all tho next day, so Mc couldn't go to the ball gsmo ufter all." PROMPT ADVICE. A. Clergyman Who Sit Down Upon a Man With a Grievance. "Sir." he said, a3 he stalked into the clergyman's study, "you are th3 man who tied the knot, I believe?" "I beg your pardon," said tho clergyman looking up from his ser mon. "You performed tho marriage ceremony for me, didn't you ?" "Yes, certainly, Mr. Wilhngs. Whnt, may I ask" "Then, you know what the right3 of husbands arc?" "Why, yes, in a general way." And the rights of a wife? "Of course." "Well, now, sir," said tho caller, drawing a chair up to the clergy man's desk and taking a seat, has a wife licenso to torture her husband?" "Certainly not." "If she makes his life miserablo he has redress, of course?" "Yes, but I should advise " "Never mind your advico now. We'll come to that later. My wife complains that 1 don't shavo often enough." "Oh, that's a small matter." "Is it, sir? -Just wait. I told her that that was my affair, and then she taught the children to cry whon I kissed them, so that she could say my rough chin hurt them. " "That hardly- showed a Chris tian" "Wait a minute. Yesterday morn ing I found them playing with the cylinder of a broken music box. You know how that seems to tho touch?" "Certainly." "Well, she tauerht them to call it papa's chin." "Really, sir, I must admit " "Wait till I'm through. To-day one of them got on my knee, passed his little hand over my chin, and called it 'papa's music-box.1 Now, sir, I ask you as a Christianjnan and as the man who tied tho knot, what shall I do?" "Get shaved," replied- the clergy man softly as, ho returned to his work. Docking Horses' Talis. "The arguments against the cruel practice of docking horses1 tails," says a correspondent, "might meet with more consideration in this Chris tian land if tho gentle dames who countenance tho practice were in structed as to tho origin of tho cus tom. During the time Warren Hast ings was governor of India, over a century ago, the English were first shocked by encountering this cruel fashion, originated by tho savage Tartars in tho Thibetan mountains. So repulsivo did it seem to our good Anglo-Saxons that they not only re fused to buy horses thus deformed, but actually paid the mountaineers a bounty to induce them to forego tho practice. And now, O world of in consistency, it is England which has persuaded the gentle American to take up, as tho height of fashion, this rude and barbarous mode, long since discarded by those mountain savages. Shall wo be obliged to im port a missionary from the "savages to buv us off?"- Was John llaayan a Gypsy? In the St. Mary Magdalene's (Laun ceSton) parish register (Vol. I, foL 74) is this entry in 1586: "March tho ivth daie was christened Nicho las, sonno of John Bownia, an Ecip tia rogue," This Mr. F. H. Groome offers as a fresh link in the chain of evidence that John Bunyan was a gypsy. "Egyptia," he says, is evi dently "Egyptian," and "Bownia," he asks, may it not be Bownian? If so, have we not here a veritable gypsy Buriyan? It is a far cry from Launceston, in Cornwall, to Elston, in Bedfordshire, he adds, were .no mads not in the case, and, in time, the interval between the baptism and tho birth of the "inspired tinker" is hut forty-two years.

FABlt AUD H0USEH0mIrbi.inWT-i-ta MAKE rARM LIFsv ATTRACT IVE rOR THB BOYS fray Them tor Their LaborRales for Batter Making Making Geo Baef Sheep Shearing and Household Helps, The Boy oa the Farni; It is often the case that boys bd come uneasy and restless on the farm. Thoy tire of .the monotony of farm life. Often they are called up on to perform tasks utterly out of proportion to their size and strength. During the summer months they are not allowed to attend school, as soon as they arc old enough to manage a team; they aro expected to perform nearly as much labor as a man, and what recompense do thoy receive? Many boys recoive nothing but" their 1)oard and clothing. Is it any won der -they beepmo discouraged with farm life? Often they are not allowed occasion ally a day in which to spend fishing and hunting; and if thoy wish tho uso of a team to drive into town, how many times the request is denied them, the excuso being given that teams need rest. The writer has much sympathy for the sun-burned farmer boy and thinks (if ho is industrious and takes an interest in the work for his par ents) he should be allowed some time for amusement and recreation, and when he asks permission to visit a friend for a day or so, please don't frown and tell him, times have changed sinco you were a boy, as you were never per mitted to spend your time visiting. Possibly you have repeated this thing to him until it has become stale If parents wish their sons to remain on the farm, they should allow them some privileges which rightfully be long to them, says the Journal of Agriculture, and make the home so cheerful and pleasant that Ihcj- will ever remember those days as the hap piest days of their life. Give your boys tho use of a toam when they go to town; and don't forget to let them have some money to spend, they have helped to earn it Don't say, "That would never do, they would soon ex pect too much of me." Why should they not expect something? They feel confident they aro saving for their parents much more than thoy are receiving. Many parents seem to forget they were once young, and if they have an indebtedness to pay, their children are compelled to work instead of get ting a common education. Wc have no right to deprive a child of anj'thing 'which will benefit him in after life. No, emphatically no! never allow your son to be deprived of an education. It requires brains to become a success ful farmer. Every parent should furnish books calculated to instruct and amuso his children: also place before them agricultural papers, and discuss with them the- best method of farming. Don't be afraid to let your sons know you appreciate their services. Talk with them in regard to your plans; give them to understand j-ou prize their society in short make them feel they are the dearest boys (at least to you) upon the earth. Give to them two or three acres of ground to work, with tho understand ing that the crop shall be theirs; by so doing they will tako moro interest in farming, and feel repaid for what they aro doing for you. It is very plain and easy to arrange things in such a manner that farm life may bo very pleasant and agree able. Have system about your work; a place for everything, and every thing in its place. A nice flower garden adds much to the appearance of a farm home and is enjoyed by both old and young. We should endeavor to make everything about the home as lovely and beautiful as possible. Nover allow pigs and calves to run at largo over your door-yard, as no home can be made attractive where such things exist. Rules for Itutter-Maklhg. Probably tho greatest difficulty in dairying at the present time is tho acceptance of a certain standard of knowledge, but beyond this, the pre vailing idea is no more required. Now tho fact is, if we aro able to make butter, all the science is fully known. Therefore a farmer who can plow, sow seed and perform other farm operations, has succeeded in attain ing the science of agriculture. I should bo far from accepting a store of limited knowledge in dairying or iarming. No operation of work, whether in tho former or the latter department of agriculture, but must necessarily bo followed out by special requirements of duty, and if theso are neglected wo can only expect a profitless return for tho labor we carry outin them. Now, as regards butter-making, we need not only to know how to collect a quantity of milk, set crcam.preparo it for churn ing, mako butter,and perform a num ber of other minor matters in dairy ing, but we must perform each por tion of it, followed out at the samo time by a special course of manage ment. 1. As tho milk is the source of our produce, the keeping clean of the cow is an indispensable duty to carry out This can only be carried out by a good application of tho curry comb and brush. 2. A thorough clean, well venti lated, warm, and comfortable byre (cow house) must bo kept for the cow; food clean, fresh, and given at regular periods; drinking water well attended to. Straining of the milk should havo your special attontion. 4. Vessels (milk) must bo kept thoroughly clean by a good applica tion cf hot water and washing soda; hot water, cold water afterwards. 5. Keep all apartments containing milk in a very clean state, well ven tilated and on no account have bad air. Clean milk pans indispensable too, remember. Rooms cleaned out occasionally. 6. Temperature of cream careful to recollect before churning. Have a thermometer for this purpose sixty thre"e degrees F. in summer, a little higher in winter. 7. The churn should be carefully attended to.having it perfectly clean. 8. The butter carefullv washed with clean, fresh water, leaving no tra-jes of milk in it whatever. 9. Tho butter should not undergo prolonged working. 10. The hands in no case used in working or making up butter. 11. After salting butter allow it to remain for a short time without mak ing it up for final use. J 2. Every utensil employed in making upbutter first rub fine salt on them, afterward wash with a small brush and water. 13. Neatness observed in making up butter. 14. Churning not can-led on Uo These are, therefore, some of the" principal rules to carry out in .butter making. I would also recommend the rules to be placed in a good po sition in the dairy. Thomas Breakejr In Edinburg Farming World Making Good Cow Beeft The wide'-spread belief that the beef from old animals, and especially from old cows,- -must be tough and stringy is'a consequence of tho improp-1 er way in which much such beef is fattened. Old animals do not have as good teeth as those younger: For this reason their digestion is poorer, and more care needs to bo taken against over-feeding, which induces clogging of the stomach. Everyono who has over-fed knows that while tho stomach is overloaded fover is produced. Now a feverish state is always a diseased state of the system in animals as well as in people. No ono would think of eating meat from animals killed while suffering from diseasq. Is it any better if porlddic ally all through the" fattening period the blodd has been heated by fever from poor digestion? All agree that an old cow fattened quickly makes nice tender beef. But to fatten quickly she must be all the time healthy. In other words, her stom ach must never be clogged. She must not be off her feed. Some suc culent food, either silage or roots, is best for making good cow beef. Old cows do not sell well, but the farmer who knows how to fatten them can make from them the best kind of beef for home use, better than much steer beef poorly fattened. Ameri can Cultivator. Oil Meal. We do not feed enough oil meal to our stock. I am an Englishman and have learned that oil meal is good. The feeding of oil meal to cattle is a mere question of degree, that degree being its value in proportion to other concentrated foods. There is an idea prevalent among American feed ers that too much of this food can not be digested by cattle. While too much of any kind of solid food can be crowded into an animal, still it is surprising how much can be used profitably. It requires cautious uso at first, and cattle peed to be fed at first only a small quantity. Whether it be in the shape of meal, pea or nut size makes little difference. It is easily igested, and from a practical point of view we would use whatever can be had cheapest, provided the quality is. similar. In England the latter size is universally used for both cattle and sheep. Last summer we had a lot of yearlings on grass. At first they received but two or three pounds per day, along with as much oat bran as they would eat Gradually the amount was increased until August, Septembor and October they consumed twelve pounds each. They mado great progress under this treatment, and the more oil meal they ate the greater quantity of cornmcal, oat bran, etc., was consumed. Farmers Voice. Cnoil Urceding Sow. Tho greatest difference in breeding sows is largely dependent on their milk-giving capacities. Part of this is due to feeding, but something also depends on heredity. We are used to tho fact that certain breeds of cattle transmit especial milking abilities in cows. The breeds of hogs thut make good dams for pigs are long-bodied and not disposed to fatten early. If such are properly fed, the ability to give large amounts of milk mav bo increased and transmitted to their progeny. Most of the small-bodied, quick-matured breeds are poor dams. They take too much to fat to be worth much for milk. American Cultivator. Household Help. White of cf;g is used to brighten and revive tho leather of chair seats. In the household tea leavos will be found useful for cleaning varnished piints. Brick floors may be cleaned by moistening with milk and water and wiping dry. A convenient way of singeing a chicken is over the blaze of a littlo alcohol lamp. Linseed oil and turpentine make a fine furniture polish. Ono part turpentine to three of oil. Steel engravings should be framed j in dark and silver molding or in . shaded wood molding with silver beading. To prevent shoes from squeaking oil the soles with linseed oil. Allow the shoe soles to absorb as much of tho oil as possible. If the flowers in vour window box seem sickly, cover the earth around ! tho roots about half an inch deep with pulvorized charcoal. To clean bottles, cut a raw potato into small pieces and put into the bottlo with very littlo water. Shake vigoiously until the bottlo is clean. Sheep Shearings. Low wot lands are unfavorable for lambs. Regular feeding makes even wool and better mutton. Ticks will often keep a ewe too thin to raise a lamb. Tho best are worth tho money, time and feed you give them. To make most profitable, sheep should bo kept on the farm contin uously. - A littlo oats daily will help mater ially to keep the ewes in a good con dition. Wool, lambs and mutton will help pay expenses until some of tho crops mature. It is a mistake to allow sheep to cat down the gras3 too close in the pastures. Select an ideal sheep and breed to it, and stick to the work until you can see the result of your care and labor. Give such care as will prevent the lambs from getting stunted the first year. If they do they never will de velop fully. Scrubby or runty lambs are tho in evitable result when low priced rams aro used and they can hardly be con sidered valuable stock. Keep the lambs and young sheep growing, the earlier the sheep are matured the less chance they will have to eat their heads off. It is quite an item to have tho sheep do well at the lowest cost possiblo and during the summer 'good pastue is all that is necessary. It will help materially to keep sheep in a good thrifty condition, to arrange to change tho pastures of the sheep about every ten days. In improving sheep, management must come first, then breeds; begin at the bottom and breed up rather than at the top and breed down. Sheep should never be kept beyond' the age of thrift and "vigor, as feed, and care will give better returns when bestowed upon younger stock. U. S. Government Baking Powder Tests. Ai. The report of the analyses of Bajdng Powders, made by the U. S. Government (Chemical Division, Agl Dep't), shows the Royal superior to all other powders, and gives its leavening strength and. the strength of each of the other cream of tartar powders tested as follows:. LEAVENING GAS. BOYAL, Absolutely Pore, The OTHER POWDEBS TESTED are reported to con tain both line and sulphuric acid, and to be of the following strengths respectiTely, . . , Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, and of greater leavening power than any other powder. Testa of the I'urty of Water. Pure water can always be told from impure bv a few very simple tests. To judge of tha color fill a colorless glass bottle with the water, look through it at some black object, and the distinc nes with which this can be seen gives an idea as to the proportion of clay and sand it contains. Then pour ont one-half of the water, cork the bot tle tightly, and set it in a warm place for a a day. Remove the cork and smell the air in the bottle. If there is an offensive odor, however slight, the wa ter is unfit for domestic use and should ba rejected. It often happens that well water, no matter how bright and sparkling, contains large quantities of putrescent matter. When this is the case decomposition is sure to take place in a few hours when the bottleis put in a warm place, and decomposition is al ways attended by an unpleasant odor. The Nervous Speaker. At a Massachusetts town the other night, there was a temperance lecture in the chapil of the churches. The gentleman who was to preside did not show up, and a man known to have a deep interest in the temperance course was called upon to act in his place. Mr. S is a ver3 nervous man who easily gets rattled. He struggled to his feet, and this is what he said: "La dies and gentlemen: Since Brother is not here to ask the blessing of Co.l to rest upon this meeting, we will proceed with the business and do the best we can without it.
