"A DROP OF INK.

Think of Queens first signature Of death
warrant, where tears tried to blauch the fatal
blankness of the booming ink of traitors
adhesion to deed of rebellion, written in gall;
of forgers trembling imitation of anothers
writing, where each letter took the shape of the
gallows; of lovers passionate proposal writ
ten in fire; of proud girls refusal written in
ice; of mothers dying expostulation with her
wayward son written in her hearts blood; of
an indignant fathers disinheriting curse on his
first-born, black with the lost color of the gray
hairs which shall go down in sorrow to the
grave-think of these, and of all the other i'm
passioned writing to which every hour gives
birth, and what a strongly potent, Protean
thing, a drop of ink grows to be All over
the world it is distilling at the behest Of men.
Here despairing prisoner is writing with a
rusty nail his dying confession of faith on his
damp dungeon wall. There an anxious lover
is deceiving all but his bride, with an ink which
she only knows how to render visible. Belea-
guered soldiers in India forts are confding to
the perilous secresy of rice water or innocent
milk their own lives and the fortunes of their
country. Snip-wrecked sailors, about to be en-
quilted in mid-ocean, are consigning to float
ing bottle the faint pencil memorandum of the
spot where they will soon go swiftly down in
the very jaws of DEATH Everywhere happy
pairs, dear husbands and wives, affectionate
brothers and sisters, and all the busy world, are
writing to each other on endless topics, witt
whatever paper comes to hand, whatever ink
The varied stream thus forever flowing is the
intellectual and emotional blood Of the world
and mo one need visit Egypt or summon an
Egyptian magician, to show him all the acts
all the joys and woes of men X lected from the
mirror of a drop of ink.-Macmatian Maga

ABOUT HATING

Hate not. 1t is not worth while. Your life
is not long enough to make it pay to cherish
il-will or hard thoughts towards any one.-
What if this friend has forsaken you in the
time of need, or that one having won your ut
most confidence, your warmest love, has con-
cluded that he prefers to consider and treat
you as a stranger? Let it all pass. What
difference will it make to you in a few years
when you go to the undiscovered country p
All who illtreat you now, will be more sorry
for it then, than you even in your deepest dis
appointment and grief can be.
A few more smiles, a few more tears, some
pleasure, much pain, little longer hurrying
and worrying through the world, some hasty
greetings and abrupt farewells, and our play
will be 'played out" and the injurer and the
injured will be led away, and ere long forgot
ten. Is it worth while to hate each other?

whe Greatest Duel on Record.

An old MissippiaH furnishes the following
to the Woodville (Miss.) Republican
"The famous duel in which forty or more
gentlemen were engaged in 1923, is still re-
membered in Natchez. Col jim Bowie the
famous fighter and the inventor of the knife
which bears his name, used to spend great
deal of his time in Natchez He was chal-
lenged by gentleman of Alexandria, Louis
lana, whose friends to the number of twenty
or more, accompanied him to Nachcz to sec
fair play, knowing Bowie was desperate
man, and had his own friends about him.. All
parties went upon the field. The combatants
took their places in the centre, separated from
their friends in the rear far enough not to en-
danger them with their balls Behold the
battle array thus:
'Twenty armed Louisianians fifty yards be-
hind their champion and his seconds and sur
geon, and opposite Them as far behind Bowie
aad his seconds and surgeon, twenty armed
Mississippians. Behold the heights of Nat
chez thronged with spectators, and steamer
in the river rounded to, its decks black with
passengers, watching with deep interest the
scene. The plan of the fight was to exchange
Siioto I"iSO WIN plo1oIS, anu lO CLOSE
with knives, Bowie being armed with his ter
rible weapon. AT the first fire both parties
escaped. At the second the Louisanan was
too quick and took advantage of Bowie, who
waited the word. AT this Bowie's second
cried ''foul play p' and shot the Lousianian
dead. The second of the latter instantly Kill
led the slayer of the principal Bowie drove
his knife into this man. The surgeons now
crossed blades, while, with loud battle cries,
came on the two parties of friends, the light
of battle in their eyes. In moment the
whole number were engaged in fearful con.
fiict. Dirks pistols and knives, were used with
fatal effect, until one party drove the other
from the field. | do not know how many were
killed and wounded in all, but it was dread
full slaughter. Bowie fought like a lion, but fell
covered with wounds. For months he lnger-
cd at the Mansion House before he fully re-
covered.

Insects ON Plants.

One of the greatest annoyances gardener has
to contend with, is the favages Of insects upon
young plants. L have remedy which / have
applied for several years, and have never known
it to fail. Take three parts sair-slacked lime.
or unleached ashes, aud one part Peruvian
guano, or any other substance having O large
per centage of ammonia mix them well to-
gether, and dust the plants while the dew is
upon them, and apply it after rain but care
must be taken that too much is not used at
one time, or it will have deleterious effect ups
necessary. | noticed the effect more particu+
larly last spring, upon patch of cantelops
vines, which the yellow bugs were eating up.
busted about one-llalf of the patch the next
morning there was not bug to be seen ON
that portion of it, while they were literally de-
vouring the other but dusting cleaned them
all out in ten minutes SO effectually, that / was
not bothered again the balance of the season.
have found it to hold equally good for cab
bage and other plants. do not know the efs
feet, unless it is i'll the ammonia being set free,
which, perhaps, is little too strong for their
olfiIctoFy nerves.-H -Hofficttlturist. = s--e --
We have tried analogous experiments to the
above, but not with Peruvian guano. We
used sulphate ofammonia finely ground with
dried chalk, and when carefully applied, with
good effect, but very inferior in result to thoss
mixtures which contain the red cammomile, te
which we referred in our last number, and
which is strangely effective in driving of and
destroying insects " Horking Farmer.

Coal Ashes !. a Fertilirer.

William Lenard, of South Groton, Ma@,
gives the following statcmcnb in the New Eng.
land Farmer, of his experience with coal ash
ct as manure:
"On an old moving field too mitch run down
we top-dressed square piece of ground fairly
with clear coal ashes early in the spring
While the crop was growing, at all stages the
difference was preceptiblc. When ready for
the sythc it was more in quantity and as to
the quality, it produced equal parts Of herd
grass and red clover If the clover was not
introduced by the agency of the ashes we do
not know how it was introduced, FOR four years
none was seen there before. or in any other
part of the field and this was the only clover
seen in said field the past season Both grass
and clover were more vigorous, green aud live
II within the top-dressed square, and just AZ
visible all around was the crop, which said as
audible as grass could say, In its declining
state that il had received no such assistance
from this individual fertilizer. a

wealthy propricties in soil. we planted the
Davis seedlings and Jenny Lind potatoes, in
clear coal ashes, half shovel full IN hill.-
Below, on equally as good ground, we planted
the same kinds Of potatoes in compost manure
and the cenl ashes, single handed, turned out
the largest, best, ihiress and most nurmerous

We have a blind phrenologist in town, who
is great ON examining bumps A wag or two
got one of the distinguished judges who thinks
good deal of himself, and has a very bald
head which he generally covers with wig. to
go up to his rooms the other day to have his
head examined. Ways and Judge arrived.

you for examination head as is head, we
wish you to test you science"
Very well,' said the phrenologist, 'place

He wears wig said one of the party.
Can't examine with that on replied the
professor.
Wig was accordingly taken of, and the
bald head of the highly expectant Judge was
placed under the manipulation of examiner.
What's this?" said the phrenologist; and
pressing his hands on the top of the head, he
said somewhat ruffled. "Gentlemen, God has

How Colds Should be Treated.

DR.. Halls Journal of health says that there
are three things which every man should dc
the moment he is satisfied that he has taken
cold 1st, eat nothing I'd, go to bed and
cover up warm, in warm room Sd, drink as
much cold water as he can or as he wants, or
as much hot herb tea as he can; and thus US
ing himself, in three cases out of four the sub
ject will be cured in thirty-six hours. On the
contrary, if he allows his cold to go two days
unmolested, he can swallow nothing that will
affect it in the least; and the cold, with such
a start, will run its course of about fortnight
and whatever is swallowed then, by way of
physic is useless hinderance. 1t is a mis-
chievious though somewhat popular falacy,
" feed cold and starye fever" Feeding
the cold is feeding a fever; a cold always
bT ings on fever, and never begins to get well
until the fever subsides and every mouthful
swallowed is so much fuel to sustain the fires
of fever 1t is indeed fortunate that as soon
as the cold is fairly seated nature allows no ap-
petite otherwise the most common cold might
be followed by very serious results, and unless
upon very sturdy constitution would almost
prove fatal.

LEARN TO WORK.

Teach your children to work, good friends
and readers. No matter if you are rieh-is
that any security that you will always remain
so? Is it any reason that your children should
not form useful habits? The day may come
when the fact that they once learned to work,
will be of more value to them than all the gold
of California. 1t is not worth while to despise
the good old fashioned monosyllable, work,
whatever your station in life may be. The
niaa that cannot help himself is, at best, pitt
full atom in creation the woman who does not
understand the machinery of her own kitchen
is at the mercy of dependents. If yon have
money enough, work for the sake of health and
spirits and selfrespect If there is one among
all the readers of Life Illustrated who is suffer
