Sir JLndrew Clark Is quoted as saying
at a meeting- recently held in Jsondon
to promote the founding of a colony for
epileptics: "It was a singular fact, and
lias been proved by specialists, that a
large proportion of our great men, from
Zfewton to Charles Darwin, were sickly
in their infancy in fact, they had been
epileptics and yet when they bad at
tained to manhood they were capable

A Lamb's Hide on a Cowcatcher.
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.

me say to anyone vanting such a

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

i Ion' widout suffcrin' de consequences!
I I jess giv1 yo' fair warnin' dat air
J Wash Scrimp don1 fool wid mo no mo'.

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.

"W'y didn't yo' say so fust, widout

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.

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

They were talking about servant

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).

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."

A. Clergyman Who Sit Down Upon a

"Sir." he said, a3 he stalked into
the clergyman's study, "you are th3

"I beg your pardon," said tho
clergyman looking up from his ser

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

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

"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,

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

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

the interval between the baptism and

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

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

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

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.

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. Amen."
