Church Etiquette.

On approaching the church take a
fresh chew of tobacco-if you use that
weed you will have quiet hour to en-
Joy it. And then you can spit under
the pew in front of you, where it will
be most difficult to wash off when
church cleaning time comes.
On entering the house, should an
usher offer to show you a place, disre-
gard his kindness, and slip into the first
empty pew you find. 1t will show your
independence and utter contempt for
the order of the place.
Then, be sure to seat yourself in the
end next to the aisle, and when others
wish to go in, let everyone in the pew
get up and file out in the aisle, and give
the newcomers the inner part. Or,
should such display be too great for
your modesty, sit still and let them step
over your feet. Either course will cause
them sufficient annoyance and disturb
ance.
By all means start from home SO as to
get in after service begins. By going
late a large number will notice that you
attend church. It is better to go late
than not at all, you know, and then the
preacher, who may be in prayer, OF
reading the scriptures, and that portion
of the Congregation who go early to gel
the benefit of the whole service, have nc
business to be disturbed by such trifes.
In other words, they " have no rights
you are bound to respect.
But, seriously, do go to church, an6
go early, and observe such rules as will
cause the least confusion in the house

Horrible Death.

The Sedalia (Mo0 Democrat thus
relates how a farm laborer of Knob
Noster, johnson county, met horrible
death:
"a party of farmers from the county
adjacent were attending James Fosters
machine, engaged in threshing wheat
on Mr.. Albaugh's farm, the scene of
the horrible occurrence. During the
afternoon, while busily threshing, a
small wheel became broken, the excess
i've friction produced therefrom quickly
igniting the dry wheat-straw and chat,
with which the machine was surrounded.
A stiff breeze was blowing at the time,
threatening the spread of the flames to
large rick of wheat adjoining. Con-
templating at once the desperate emer-
gency, one of the employees, Mr.. Arnold,
mounted the front part of the thresher
and attempted to smother out the flames.
In stepping on the feet-board one foot
slipped, his leg entered the machine
about halfway to his ankle, where, hor-
rible to relate, it became firmly
caught! Vain were the efforts to re-
lease the poor man from his terrible
situation, the machine was run slowly
back, but effected nothing. No time
was to be lost. The flames were gradu-
ally increasing. Unless removed he
would be burned alive. A desperate
remedy was then resorted to-the last
and only hope. A stout man, with a
common chopping-ax, then severed the
imprisoned leg, just below the knee, the
amputation requiring three several
blows. The unfortunate man was taken
from the machine and a runner dis
patched for medical aid. A physician
was fortunately found in a short time,
but the wounded man died before he
reached his side, although every assist
ance was offered him by those present.
The deceased was aged about thirty-fve
years, and leaves stricken family to
mourn his sudden and terrible death.

The Cruelty.to.Animals Act.

Railroad officials and cattle-shippers
are reminded that the act of Congress
to enforce better care of animals shipped
by rail and boat, went into effect on
the 1st inst. The law provides that no
animals in transportation shall be con-
fined in cars or boats more than twenty
eight consecutive hours without unload
ing for refreshment, unless storm or ac-
cidents prevent. During their rest the
animals shall be carefully fed and other
wise cared for. The penalty for failing
to comply with these requirements on
the part of owners or transportation
companies is fine of not less than one
hundred nor more than five hundred
dollars. The United States Marshals
and their deputies are charged with the
duty of enforcing this law, when noti-
fed of its Infringement. Humane peo-
pie who love to eat good beef should
see that proper complaint is made in
cases where the law is violated.

The Danger of Cholera.

The slight touch of cholera we had
here this summer is by no means a
guarantee that it may not pay us a
longer and more fatal visit next year.
Our latest advices from Europe indicate
that the epidemic is not only not over
yet, but that it continues to spread and
Increase in virulence. The Vienna Ex-
position seems to have diffused the con-
tagion all over Europe, and it is now
raging in nearly every large city of the
continent. The French journals are
alarmed at the progress which the pest
is making. The New York Evening Post
sounds timely warning on the subject.
It says: "It is time all feasible meas
ures of quarantine and internal sanitary
administration were adopted the peril
is imminent and decisive, and the less
speculation-the more action-the bet
ter in New York in the future. We
have a winter, perhaps, to prepare for
the coming of the pestilence, though it
is by no means impossible that it may
reach us at any moment. 1t was only
three or four days ago Havre ship
came sailing up the bay on board of
which passenger had died of cholera,
and who knows how many others may
have gone ashore with the seeds of the
disease in their system ?"

Catching Rats.

A writer in the Rural Ne1O Yorker,
treating of trapping vermin generally,
says the following of catching rats in
particular
"Let us now take the case of house
badly infested with rats. How shall
we get rid of them? Of course, if they
come from some public sewer or other
colony, the supply isprobably unlimited,
and the first thing must be to cut off all
outsiders. But if we are troubled with
none but natives it will not require much
skill to capture every one of them-old,
cunning fellows and all. In the first
place, then, we must resolve to take
time to it and capture the whole lot, and
to do this no attempt must be made to
capture single animals, since this will
tend to make them suspicious and will
put the old ones on their guard. Then
provide large box or barrel place in
it quantity of old carpet, brush, etc.,
and also some food, such as meal,
cheese, herring, etc. Bore a two-inch
hole in the side of the box, and leave it
for some days. The rats will soon find
it out and frequent it. First a young
one will go in, and have good feed and
come out all right the old ones seeing
that he is not hurt, they, too, will go
in, and in short time every rat about
the premises will frequent it. When
this occurs, see that it is well supplied
with food, and arrange over the hole a
block having corresponding aperture
cut in it, but having also a series of
wires stuck around the hole and point
ing inward, just as they are arranged
in the common wire traps. Every rat
will go in as before, and not one can get
out. Various methods may be adopted
for killing them. If you are a sports
man you can let them out one at time
and shoot them or kill them with ter
riers. A few slips of sulphnred paper
thrust through the hole and burned, is,
however, very simple plan, and will
have known case in which sixty-seven
rats were caught at one time in box
arranged as described. In this instance
the premises were effectually cleared OF

VOracity of Birds.

AS an illustration of the immense yo-
racity of small birds, and of the quanti-
ties of insects destroyed by them, cor
respondent of the London Times writes:
ssThe huetitmouse has been watched, and
found to feed its young, from 81 a. m.
to 81 p. M, Ats times, bringing one large
or two or three small insects each time.
The thrush, from II a: m. to 81 p, m.
2O6 times. The blackbird, from 81 a.
m. to $40 p. m. 113 times. The mis-
tletoe thrush, from 4:20 to 8 p. m. 66
times, each time bringing several large
worms or insects. The sparrow, from
two or three to six or eight insects at
once, and as this goes on for all the day,
and they. frequently have two or three
broods inthe year, they must destroy an
immense number. watched the other
day a wagtail catching insects to feed
its young, and it took eight or nine into
its bill in a minute or two, and had not
left off when turned away. The start
lings frequently observe getting cat
erpillars for their young, flying from
tree to tree with two or three together

Seed Corn.

Those farmers who desire to i'm prove
their seed corn must remember that the
work of selecting it must commence
now.
There are two chief requisites ina good
corn, viz. early maturity and prolific
ness. We feel that there is too little at
tention paid to this matter by farmers
generally. By neglect and Incidence
they will let the season for selecting seed
pass by; and next spring, when they get
ready to plant, they will pay some more
enterprising neighbor two or three times
the commercial value, to get some good
seed corn.
It is o law of nature that like pro-
duces like, under like circumstances. If
we want to improve the earliness of our
corn crop, we must select our seed from
those stalks that first mature. AS rule
those ears mature first that "shoot"
first Go through your field and mark
with piece of red flannel or other de-
vice one hundred of those stalks that
shoot first. Later, go through again,
and mark all of that hundred that show
tendency to perfect two good ears.
When ripe, select all perfect, we'll
formed, deep grained ears from this
latter marking, and tie them up for
seed.
IlanG IneSe Dy themselves neAG year,
and from this planting make another Sc
lection in similar manner, using more
care to save seed from the two-eared
stalks also, keeping in mind the early
maturity. The third years planting
will develop the seed, if proper care has
been used, that will show two good
ears to the stalk, in seven-tenths of the
planting.
It is in this way that the yield of our
great cereal can be increased to eighty,
ninety, or one hundred bushels per
acre; and the man that first perfects
these valuable qualities can make snug
little fortune in raising corn for seed
alone. We hope some of our young
and enterprising farmers will take hold
of this matter. Don't let the season
pass without making an effort in this
| direction.

Persian Ladies' Dress.

Of all the female costumes of the East
the Persian is undeniably the most un-
becoming. 1t is perfectly impossible to
tell whether the figure wrapped in pill
low-case and latticed veil belongs to a
girl of fourteen or an old lady of sixty.
Indoors Persian lady is scarcely less
inelegant. The long trousers are usually
of thick silk, reaching down to the ankle,
and from twenty to five and-twenty yards
wide, and SO stiff that they stand out
Like tine 6d ho9Ped 6s pesc9ats a of of
body is covered by a bodice, more or
less richly embroidered, under which a

Persian manner of sitting is not cross
legged, a la Turque, but is complete
kneeling position, with the hips almost
resting upon the ankles, and the back
upon a cushion.

Mary of Scots at the HuguenOt Mas
Sacres

In the recently published Romance
of Old Court Life in France" is found
the following passage, descriptive of the
butchery of the Huguenots Within
the gallery the whole court stood
ranged against the sculptured walls.
perious gesture she signed to Mary,
who clung, white as death, to her hus-
band, to take her place under a royal
canopy placed in the center of the win
dow. Francis she drew into chair
beside herself; the Chancellor, the Due
de Guise, his brother the Cardinal, and
the Due de Nemours seated themselves
near. Their appearance was the signal
to begin the slaughter. Prisoner after
prisoner was dragged up beneath the
loggia to the scaffold and hastily dis
patched. Cries of agony were drowned
in the screeching of flies and the loud
braying of trumpets. The mutilated
bodies were flung on one side to be cast
into the river, the heads borne away to
be placed upon the bridge. Blood ran
in streams and scented the fresh spring
breezes. The executioner YEARLY rested
from his labor, and another masked fig
ure, dressed like himself in red from
head to foot, took his place. Spelbound
and speechless sat the young Queen. A

sat down, and ere few minutes had
passed she had tainted. Catharine,
who, wholly unmoved, was contemplat-
ing the death of her enemies the HUI
guenots, turned with terrible frown tow
ards her son, handing him some strong
essence with which to revive Mary. AS
her senses returned, even the basilisl
eyes of her dreaded mother-in-law could
not restrain her. One glance at the aw
full spectacle gave her courage; she
gave a wild scream, and, rushing for
ward, flung herself passionately at the
8" Uncle, dear uncle, stay this fearful
massacre. Speak to the Queen, or
shall die. Oh why was 1 brought here
to behold such a sight ?"
