GEORGIA SCENES.

Old Stanwix tells the following Georgia
story, and youches for its truthfulness:
About thirty-three and third years ago,
there dwelt in one of the rural districts OF
Georgia, an old codger by the name of Butt.
Cut Taylor, who had formerly enjoyed the
honors and emoluments pertaining to the
Office of Justice of the Peace, the duties Of
which Office he discharged with acknowl.
edged ssbility" and dignity and 50 far as
his neighbors were capable Of judging, he
appeared to be very honest man. He had.
however, acquired the habit of 'trumping
up" accounts against the estates OF those Of
his neighbors who were SO unfortunate as
to stshuHle off their mortal coils" within the
bounds of his bailiwick. He had carried
the practice to such an extent as to arouse
suspicion in the minds of some of his med
dlesome neighbors, that there might be
something dead" somewhere in the "seat
of his"-fnancial operations. Bob Gro.
gan, who lived in the neighborhood, and
ssrun" the post Office at the cross roads, be-
ing something Of a wag, and having an idea
that the 'Squire's honesty should be quoted
below par, concluded with the connivance
and assistance of q few comrades, to Sun
earth the sly old fox, and expose his ras-
calities. Accordingly Bob pretended to
die, was regularly shrouded and laid out
on the cooling board in the most approved
fashion, and sorrowing friends proceeded to
spread the news of his demise, which soon
reached the ears of old Butt Cut. He lost no
time in repairing to the house Of mourning,
carrying with him ''full and complete as
sortment" of first class coincidence and sym
pathy, for gratuitous distribution, among
the members of the bereaved family, and
the many sorrowing friends of the supposed
deceased, who were present when he arrived.
After he had relieved his heart of his bur
den of healing words, and had succeeded In
tolerable effort at crying, and was about
to leave the scene, he tenderly spoke as
follows:
ssAh, poor Bob; I'm sorry he died, he
was good feller, and I allus liked him.
When me and him went to the races at
Augusta--now nigh unto two years ago.
loaned him hundred dollars to bet onto a
bay mare, and he lost and has never paid
me cent Of that money from that day to
this. Poor fellow, he forgot it | reckon,
but its an honest debt; of course can get
it out of his estate, and
Butt Cut didn't finish the sentence, for
just at this point Bob, the corpse, slowly
raised up in his shrowd, and stretched out
his arms toward the old rogue, as if to
clutch him, yelled:
"You are an Internal old liar, and if"
The din and roar drowned the rest, and
old Butt Cut didn't wait to see or hear
anything more, but with the hurried excla-
nation, "goddlemity," he shot throug h the
door, hurried to his home, ''packed his
traps" and not only left the neighborhood,
but the State of Georgia, forever.

BED YOUR STABLEs.-A horse, remark

BED YOUR STABLEs.-A horse, remarks
the Rural World, will get tired of stand
ing and treading on hard floor so will a
COW, sheep, man. A soft bed feels easy
gives rest. And yet we neglect the bed
ding of our stables to a great extent. In
jured limbs and other ailments, especially
of the hoof, are the result often of neglect
here, as has been clearly enough shown,
and as any man can clearly enough see, if
he gives the subject q moments thought. -
Bed with straw, which is plenty, or saw.
dust, or tan-bark or shavings. The dryer
these materials are the better. Every day
remove the moistened bedding, and replace
with new. Such floor, when bedded, adds
greatly to the warmth of stable, and thus
becomes fodder saver. The small holes
and crevices in floor, with q good bedding
upon them, will let little or no cold through,
and will drain the stable. Rather have d
ground floor than hard, naked plank.

DRINKING IMPURE WATER.

Here is an item. Put it down in your
memory. Who has not experienced the
unpleasant taste of water that has stood for
some hours, or over night in the room ?
Here is the reason: Water has the pow
er of condensing and thereby absorbing, all
the gasses of the air, which it does without
increasing its own bulk. The colder the
water is the greater it's capacity to contain
these. .gasses. At ordinary temperatures a
pint Of water will contain pint of carbonic
acid gas, and several pints Of ammonia
Hence, water, kept in the room awhile,
is always unfit for use, and it should
be renewed whether it has become warm or
not. And for the same reason the water
in pump stock should be pumped out in
the morning before any is used. That which
stood in the bucket over night is not fit for
coffee water in the morning. Impure wa
ter is more injurious to the health than i'm
pure air, and every person should provide
the means of obtaining it pure for all do
mestic purposes.

n6E The influence of the neon upon the
weather has been investigated by Profes.
sor Marcel, of Geneva, who has worked up.
on the meteorological tables from 1900 to
1860 in the Biliotheque de Geneva, and
who has given the results in tables in the
same journals. During the last sixty years
(21, ,9i5 days, 742 lunar months) there have
occurred $3.50 changes of weather that is,
from rainy to fine weather, or fine weather
to rainy. OF these $3.50 changes, SO hap
pened at new moon, and 80 at full moon
lO9 occurred the day following the full
moon and 1O7 on that day following the new
moon. 1t is hence calculated that the
probability of change of weather occurring
on the day of the full moon is O,12l at
new moon, 0,125; the day after full moon,
O,143; the day after new moon, O,l48.-
The influence of the moon upon the num-
Der of days of rain and the quantity of Wa
ter which falls the professor regards as
negative. With reference to the barome'
ter, he states that, of the $3.50 changes Of
of weather, the barometer prophecied 1850
times correctly. This approaches nearly
to the proportion of three times out of four

How SALT FISH SHOULD BE FREsHENED.
How many persons who are in the habit of
freshening mackerel Or other salt fish, nev-
er dream that there is right and wrong
way to do it. Any person who has seen
the process of evaporating going on at the
salt works know that salt falls to the bot
tom. Just so it is in the pan where your
mackerel or white-fsh lies soaking; and,
as it lies with the skin side down, the salt
will fall to the skin, and there remain,
when if placed with the flesh side down, the
salt falls to the bottom of the pan, and the
fish comes out freshened as it should be-
In the other case, it is nearly as salt as
when put in. If you donot believe this, test
the matter for yourselves.
