The Oadi's Decision.


A poor Turkish slater, of Constantinople.
being at work upon the roof of house. lost
his footing and fell into the narrow street upon
man who chanced to he passing ut the time.
The pedestrian was killed hy the concussioo,
while the slater'escaped without material in>
jdry.
A son of the deceased caused the slator to
be arrested and taken before the Cudi, whore
he made the most grave charge, and claimed
ample redress
The Cadi listened cttentively. and in tho
end asked the slater what he had to say III his
defense.
"Dispeuser of Justice" answered the 40.
cused, in humble mood cit is even as this
man says; but God forbid that there should
be evil in my herrt am poor man, and
know not how I can mike amends"
The son Of the man who had been killed
therenpon demanded that coDdign punishment
should be inflicted upon the accused.
The Cadi'meditatcd few moments, and
finally said:
at shall be So"
Then to the slater he continued
'Thou shalt stand 10 the street where tho
father of this man stood when thou did st fall
upon him."
And to the accuser he added
"And thou shalt, if it so peaso thee, 90
upon the roof, and fall upon the culprit, even
as he fell upon thy father. Allan is great"

IMPORTANT ExPERIMENr.-An. expert
menting Detroit chemist took piece of
threndbare cotton cloth, smeared it with boil
ed linseed oil, and placed it in the center of
chest filed with paper and rigs Although
the room WAS not tight and the weather was
cold, there was smell of fire about the room
in eight days. Unpackins it, the ex perimen-
ter found the rag half charred. In April he
made a similar experiment with pair of
painters overnlls. which he rolled up in pine
shavings and crowded in next to the roof
boards of loft. Tn a week the smell of
smoke alarmed workman in the next room,
and the overalls werc found to be on fire
And during the hottest weather handful of
old cotton rags. otsmeared with oil, became
hot enough when hung up in tin box in the
sun to light matches which had been placed
among them. These facts show the, necessity
of caution in putting away rags, especially
those that may be saturated with oil, benzine,
or other inaammable substances

INTERESTING To FARMERs.-A series of
experiments, instit>-ed to test the average
loss in weight by drying, shows that corn
looses about one>fiftb, and wheat one-four>
teenth by the process. From this, the state
ment is made, that farmers will make more
money by selling unshelled corn in the Fall
at seventy-fve cents than the following Sum-
mer at one dollar bushel and wheat at 81. so
in December is equal to S1.50 for the same
wheat in the June following. This estimate
is made on the basis of interest at seven per
cent and takes no account of the loss from
the depredations of yermip.

thin piece of gauze over the mouth or bung-

Put it in Writing.


How many Misunderstanding arise from
the loose way in which business matters are
talked over, and then when each party puts
his own construction on the conversation. the
matter is dismissed by each with the words
''all right" Frequently it turns out all wrong
aud becomes question for lawyers aud the
courts.
More than half the litigation of the coun-
try would be saved if people would put down
their agreements in writing. Each word in
our language has its own peculiar meaning.
aud memory may by the change of a single
word, or even by the change of its position
IN the sentence, convey an entirely different
ida from that intended When once reduced
to writing ideas are fixed, inelastic.
We once saw an excited captain rush into
the presence of his colonel with grievous COM
plants against brother officer. stop! Stop.
captain y said the colonel. "put your COM
plant in writing, and will give it attention."
The captlin went to work vigorously writ
ing his complaint. In little while he
stopped aud commenced laughing. The
whole affair looked 70 ridicuIously small when
written out that he was laughing at his own
folly IN giving it any atteDtinn.- Erchange.

THE SECRET OF r.-An old farmer being
asked why his boys stayed at home while
others did not, replied that it was owing to the
fact that he always tried to make home pleas.
ant for them. He furnishes them with useful
and attractive reading; and when night comes
and days inbor is ended, instead of running
with other boys to the railway station and nd.
joining towns. they gather arOnnd the great
lamp and become absorbed in their books and
papers The boys still at home when the
elder was twenty-one. while those Who were
furnished with no reading matter at home
songht city life and city dissipation as soon as
they were seventeen or eighteen. All will
do well to heed this testimony of farmer
who has known how hard it is t. struggle for
footing on free soil without capital. and
how valuable and comparatively cheap are the
aids which good reading brings to him. In
this age of general intelligence, the mind must
be catered to- and books aud papers furnished;
and not only this, but cheap and artistic
chrome pictures can also be bought to use in
making home attractive. The farmers Is the
