Paddle Your Own Canoe.

Judge S. gave his son thousand dol
lars, telling him to go to college and
graduate. The son returned at the end
of the Freshman year without dollar
and with several ugly habits. About
the close of the vacation the Judge said
to his son:
"Well, William, are you going to col
lege this year? p
Have no money, father"
"But gave you thousand dollars
to graduate on!'
"That's all gone, father
Very well, my son; it was all 1
could give you you can't stay here
you must now pay your own way in the
world.
A new light broke in upon the vision
of the astonished young man. He ac-
commodated himself to the situation he
left home, made his way through college,
and graduated at the head of his class
studied law, became Governor of the
State of New York, entered the Cabinet
of the President of the Uuited States,
and has made record for himself that
will not soon die, being none other than

A Texas Bender--FOur Men Killed
While Asleep.

On Friday last a most fendish muir
der occurred on Elm fork of Trinity
river, near the village of Head of Elm,
in Cook county. One of the numerous
herds of cattle being driven over the
Kansas trail had been corralled for the
night, and after supper those that were
not on duty as guards, soon rolled them
selves in their blankets, to get what lit
tie rest "cow boy can have.
About 10 o'clock Mexican, who was
one of the hands employed, and who was
acting as cook, stealthily procured an
ak and commenced in cold blood to muir
der the unconscious sleepers. He sue
ceeded in killing four, when, just as he
was in the act of dispatching the fifth
one, the sleeper suddenly awoke, and,
discovering his danger, gave the alarm
and he with the remaining ones es-
capped.
One of the murdered men had his
head completely severed from his body,
while the others were mangled in the
most CHASTITY and almost unrecognizable
manner. The Mexican was not looked
upon as being dangerous, and no cause
was given for this fearful deed. The
only object was to secure the money and
stock belonging to the party, which the
fend was only prevented from doing by
the alarm which was given, during the
excitement of which he preclpltately
fed.-DolLos (Ierds) Herald.

The Autumn of Life.

1t is the solemn thought connected
with middle life, that life's last business
is begun in earnest and it is then, mid
way between the cradle and the grave,
that man begins to marvel that he let
the days of youth go by SO half enjoyed
It is the pensive autumn feeling, it is the
sensation of half sadness that we ex-
perience when the longest day of the
year is passed, and every day that fol-
lows is shorter, and the light fainter,
and the feebler shadows tell that Nature
is fastening with gigantic footsteps to
her winter grave. So does man look
back upon his youth. When the first
gray hairs become visible, when the I'M
welcome truth fastens itself upon the
mind that man is no longer going up
hill, but down, and that the sun is always
westering, he looks back on things be-
hind When we were children,we thought
as children. But now there lies before
us manhood, with its earnest work, and
then old age, and then the grave, and
home. There is a second youth for man,
better and holier than his first, if he will
look on, and not look back.

STUDENTS of Biblical geography have long
been in doubt as to the exact locality of Mount
Calvary, where Christ was crucifed. The
Oriental Typographical Corps, sent out from
England to study the topography of Bible
lands think they have at last found the spot
SO hallowed to Christians, in the hill outside
of Damascus gate, near the north wall of Jerp-
salem. The profile of this hill is skull-shaped,
and this popularity strengthens the SUPPOSE
ton that it is really the scene of the crucitix-

called Golgotha, that is to say, place of a

Dental Art Among the Japanese.

DIR. W. st. George Elliott, formerly
of Troy, N. Y, now at Yokohama, Japan,
sends to the Dental Cosmos an interest
ing account of Japanese habits in regard
to teeth, and of the state of dentistry in
that empire. He says that the teeth of
the daughters of Japan are objects of
envy, and it is remarkable that a people
who place SO much value upon their teeth
should keep up the custom of backing
them after marriage. AS race the Japa-
nese have got good teeth, and it is rare
to find an old person with any at all.
Their tooth brushes consist of tough
wood, pounded at one end to loosen the
fibers. They resemble paint brushes,
and owing to their shape it is impossible
to get one behind the teeth. AS might
be expected, there is an accumulation of
tartar which frequently draws the teeth
of old people. The greatest accumu-
lation of tartar is behind the lower orals.
and those are frequently cemented to-
gether by dense, dark-brown deposit
quarter OF an inch in thickness. Their
process of manufacturing false teeth is
very crude. The plates are made of
wood, and the teeth consist of tacks
driven up from under the side A piece
OF wax is heated and pressed into the
roof of the mouth. 1t is then taken out
and hardened by putting ii into cold
water. Another piece of heated wax is
applied to the impression, and after
being pressed into shape, is hardened.
A piece of wood is then roughly cut into
the desired form, and the model, having
been smeared with red paint, is applied
to it. Where they touch each other a
mark is left by the paint. This is cut
away till they touch evonly all over
Sharks teeth, bits of ivory, or stone, for
teeth, are set into the wood and retained
in position by being strung ON thread
which is secured on each end by peg
driven into the hole where the thread,
makes its exit from the base. Iron or
copper tacks are driven into the ridge for
masticating purposes, the unequal wear
of the wood and metal keeping up the
desired roughness. Their full sets
answer admirably for the mastication of
food, but, as they do not improve the
looks, they are worn but little for orna-
ment. The ordinary service of set of
teeth is about five years, but they fire.
quently last much longer. All full up
per sets are retained by atmospheric
pressure. This principle is coeqnal with
art. In Japan, dentistry exists only as
q mechanical trade, and the status of
those who practice it is not very high.
1t is, in fact, graded with carpenters
their word hadyiktSan meaning tooth
carpenter.

MANUFACTURE OF HAIR CLoTH.-Hair
cloth is made from the hair of horses
tails, which is brought, some of it from
South America, but more from Russia.
In the latter country, it is collected at
the great fairs of Mimi, Novogorod, and
Isbilt. It is of all shades of color, and
for use is died black, The poorest quail
ity sells for about fifty cents pound
the best for 81, the price rapidly increas-
ing as the length exceeds twenty-four
inches. In the fabrication of hair cloth,
the hair is wet with water, and, when
well soaked, is put in the loom to be
woven with cotton wrap. The weaving
mechanism is SO perfect in its operation
that if one of the hairs forming the welt
is missed, the device acting upon it con-
tinues to work until it has grasped it, all
the other parts of the machine standing
still.

Are Crows Useless

It would be well for every farmer to
endeavor to answer this question tc his
own satisfaction. We all know how
provoking it is, in the spring time, when
the corn and other grains are pl nted,
and work drives hard, to see an army
of crows encamped upon our fields, rap
idly destroying the newly planted crop !;
and we cannot wonder much if the farm
er's temper does rise and impel him to
shoulder the musket or rifle, and deal
death to the marauders.
Farmers are apt to regard crows as
their natural enemies.
What about cut-worms and white
grubs? Are not they the pests of the
cornfelds, and are not they the natural
food of the crow?
To be sure his appetite prompts him
also to taste your corn, and pull up the
young wheat and tear open the husks of
the ears of corn. Should he not take
little toll as well as the miller?
Destroy every crow, and your corn
and wheat will not be taken Id hekernel
perhaps, but they will stand chance
of being cut down when they are two or
three inches high, and force you to plant
them over, when it will put your crop
back at least two weeks for that season.
Crows are undoubtedly useful birds
in destroying the myriads of vernnin
which attack our crops and so / feel
inclined to speak good word for them,
although few of your readers may in
cline to do so when they are suffering
from their depredatiops, and daily see.
ing them pulling up hill after hill OF
corn.
l think that one might find a remedy
in Planting thickly- putting ten grains
of corn or wheat where four are needed
and allowing Mr. and Mrs. Grow to dine
on the other six, while they also devoul
the cut-worms, etc. But if war must
be waged against them, commence it by
setting steel in a tuft of grass, and
bait it with blown egg-shell, OF BIT
of fresh meat.
If you succeed in catching one crow
its cries will teach all the other crows
that danger is there, and it is thought
to be safeguard for the whole field.
Grows are, as we all know, exceeding
ly wary birds, and smell danger from
afar so if one dead crow is hung up IL
a field, it is the most efectual scare
crow that can be furnished.
Poisoned corn will soon rid the farmer
of the nuisance of crows. Yet thinl
it very mean resort, and feel assured
that he who undertakes it will have hi
crops blasted by cut-worms and othe
vermin, and will pray for return o
his black enemies. - Country Gentleman

CRUELTY TO ANIMALs.-The State De-
partment has promulgated, for the in
formation of all concerned, the act of
Congress to prevent cruelty to animals

Hoe, EVERY HEN THAT ScRATcHETH.
An ingenious West Bridgewater man
has utilized the destructive, and bent
the scratching, power of hens to the
aid of agriculture. He places hen with
chickens in long, narrow cage, just
wide enough to fit in between two rows
of potatoes, wherein she scratches to
her hearts content. The cage is moved
along the space between the rows until
the ground has been thoroughly scratch
ed over, and the potatoes nicely hoed,
and all the bugs eaten.
