An Unpleasant Incident in Church

We have already mentioned that old
Mr.. CoIlamore, who goes to our church,
is very deaf. Last Sunday, in the
midst of the services, Mr.. Hoff, who
sits Immediately behind Mr.. Collamore,
saw q spider travelling over the latter'E
bald head. His first impulse was to
nudge him and tell him about it but
he remembered that Collamore was
brushed the spider off. Hoff didn't
aim quite high enough, and consequent
ly in his nervousness, he hit Oollamore
quite a severe blow and the old man
turned around in a rage to see who had
Jared to take such a liberty with him,
and Hoff began to explain with gestures
the cause of the occurrence. But Cola.
more, in loud voice, demanded what
he meant. 1t was very painful for Hof.
The eyes of the whole congregation
were upon him, and he grew red in the
face, and in esperation exclaimed
"There was a spider on your head !!
GA white place on my head, hey
S'pose'n there is, what's that to you ??
said Collamore. "You1l know what il
is to be bald-headed yourself, some
day."
1t was a spider" shrieked Hof,
while the congregation smiled and the
perspiration began to roll off his face.
Certainly it's WIDER said Cola.
more, "and it's got more in it than
yours. But you let it alone-do you
mind? You let my head alone in
church"
"Mr. Collamore," shrieked Hoff
"there was bug on your head, and
brushed it off-this way"
And Hoff made another gesture al
Collamore's head.
The old man thought he was going to
fight him then and there, and hurting
his hymn-book at Hof, he seized the
kneeling-stool on the floor of the pew,
and was about to bang Mr.. Hoff, when
the sexton interfeled. An explanation
was written on fy-leaf of the hymn
book, whereupon Mr.. Collamore apollo,
gized in a boisterous voice, and resumed
his seat. Then the services proceeded.
They think of asking Mr.. Collamore tc
worship elsewhere. -Danbury NelOs.

Widows. AYaunt

The following is veritable petition
signed by sixteen maids of the town of
Charleston, s. c., an / presented to his
excellency Governor johnson, OF that
province, in the year 1913: "The
humble petition of all the maids whose
names are underwritten: Whereas,
We, the humble petitioners, are at pres
ent in a very melancholy disposition of
mind, considering how all the bachelors
are blindly captivated by widows aud
our more youthful charms thereby neg
lected the consequence of this, our re-
quest is that your excellency will, for
the future, order that no widow pre-
sumo to marry any young man till the
maids are provided for or else to pay
each of them fine for satisfaction for
invading our liberties, and likewise a
fine to be laid on all such bachelors as
shall be married to widows. The great
disadvantage it is to us maids is that
the widows, by their forward carriages,
do snap up the young men, and have
the vanity to- think their merits beyond
ours, which is great imposition on us,
who ought to have the preference.
"This is humbly recommended to
your excellency's consideration, and
hope you will permit no further insults.
And we, poor maids, in duty bound,
will ever pray"

lean and the fourth German. I asked
the latter how he and his colleagues
were getting along together. oh
very WE'LL he replied we never quar-,

do that.
As usual, the grand-duke had to say
something about the appearance of the

cidedly natty and arch For the men,
too, he has few good words They
are hardy, active, and respectful, The
milkado's troops, in their new uniforms,
look splendid" he writes, "and the
Radetzky march was performed by one
of their bands as creditably as ever
heard it."
His imperial highness must have fall
len, culinarily speaking, into very good
hands in the east, for he relates, with
evident glee, how he Jared at two pri-
vate residences, at Yokohoma and Yed-
do, where he was initiated into the mys-
teries of japanese cookery. Their con-
fectionery, he writes, cannot be sur
passed, and their tea, too, is gratefully
remembered as indescribably fra
grant"

Cotton and Diversity in the South.

1890
A Mississippi correspondent of the
Country Gentleman says: To-day saw
lot of two year old grade Short-H
heifers that would here be considered
in excellent beef condition, that have
not been fed at all this winter, being
confined to a blue grass pasture. Pro-
perly developed, we have magnificent
stock country, but to accomplish this a
more intelligent population than our
colored is required. The general farm
ing interest of this section is not in a
healthy condition. Supplies will have
to be purchased from the northwest,
and these are advancing, while cotton
has been declining. An indiscrimi1ate
credit has proved our greatest misfor-
tune. A cash system would result in a
greater diversity in our crops. We
have class of farmers in our midst who
are rapidly accommodating property.
The secret of their success is to be
found in the diversity of their crops
They have for sale in addition to cot
ton, usually the following, at about the
attached average prices: Wheat, 50
per bushel corn 75c- and 81 oats.
81; field peas, $1.50. They also
sell some pork, beef, butter, eggs,
etc. The expenses of the family
and the farm are all borne by these adj
ditional crops, leaving the cotton crop a
net money crop for investment. For
this class of small farmers, giving their
undivided personal attention to their
farms, the south presents magnificent
opening. Our colored labor is cheap,
and when directed by intelligence is
most efficient. We have the climate,
the soil and the productions we need
the aid of a million of the small farm
ers of the north and west to make this
the most magnificent country in the
world"

Experiments in Jute Culture.

The department. of agriculture at
Washington is in the receipt of some
very interesting information concerning
the experiments which have recently
been made in the culture of iute in the
south. A North Carolina planter writes
that he gathered fine crop from seed
furnished him last May by the depart
ment, and he thinks that the bottom
lands of that state could be made to
produce, by liberal manuring, as much
as thee thousand pounds of fibre to the
acre. From Georgia and Louisiana most
favorable accounts also come. A Georgia
planter says if five cents per pound can
be Melted it will pay more to raise jute
than cotton. In Louisiana the jute
raised is said to be fifty per cent. SUI
perior to the India article. Heretofore
India has been almost the only country
where iute has been raised at all, and
it has been a very profitable product. 1t
is much used in the making of ropes,
gunny sacks, etc It also has large
commercial value in other respects, be-
ing extensively used in the manufacture
of ladies chignons. The department
considers that it is demonstrated be-
yond doubt that it can now be made
staple and most profitable product in
the bottom lands of the south.

Hints for Horsemen.

If your horse is in the habit of kick
ing, use a low dash board, and your
horse will soon get over it.
Keep your horse fat don't allow any
one to get lien on him.
When your horse refuses to take up
an oat, consider him as having failed.
To make your horse very fast, tie him
with two halters.
Never feed horse chestnuts to chest
nut horses, nor horse sorrel to sorrel
horses: you can give cream to a cream
horse, if you like nd the horse likes it.
It Is not necessary to employ a cream
pitcher to pitch hay to cream horse,
however.
1t may answer to stirrup your saddle,
but don't stir up your horse-at least
stirring horse-in a crowd. It might
cause a stir.
Look carefully after the bits of your
horse, or you may soon be looking after
the bits of your wagon.
If you have the proper address, you
may receive a couple of lines from a
horse, but on no account " drop a line. I"
However we'll you may be attached to
your horse, you must be certain your
horsc is we'll attached to your carriage.
If horse is recommended to you as
being a horse of good carriage, don't
infer that he is good carriage horse.
When you tell horse to "get up"
look well to his get up" Some
horses get up within the buggy, and
some horses get up without the buggy,
but like deep sorrow, "leave their
traces there"
A horse is something like a public
officer when he is installed, in this that
he begins to "feel his oats" directly,
if there are any oats in the stall. What
ever stall you use for your horse in the
stable, you should always use a head
stall when you drive them. An I'M
bridled horse is very much like an IN
bridled tongue.-
Rearing colts is often very profitable,
but rearing horses are not profitable,
especially those who rear up in the rear
and execute flank movements on the
dash. board with shoo-fy accompani-
meuts. They 'tfoot up" a bill for repair
ing too rapidly.
Harvesting a horse resembles getting
married, in this, that the bride comes
first /; but you don't feel the bride'll
reign till you "get into the harness"
and feel the check. Blind brides are
most common in both cases, and poor
things in either.
You may make a horse laugh by tick
ling your horse under the ribs, but it
will always be in a crowd of donkeys.
When you go to church you ought to
shed tears of repentance for yourself,
if you don't have any shed for your
horses

ATennessee Dungeon.

A gentleman connected with the en-
gineer department., Cincinnati South
ern railway, gave an amusing account
of most cruel case of imprisonment
at Huntsville, Scott county, Tenn, dur
ing the summer of 1872. The remarka-
BILE prisoner and the circumstances at
tending his cruel confinement were first
brought to notice of the engineers by a
lawyer named Overton, who was IN that
country investigating some land titles.
Being in Huntsville one day, Overton's
attention was attracted by the CONVEX
sation of some frequenters of an apple
brandy Chill" The party were much
excited over the cruel and outrageous
imprisonment of lone of our fellows,
at the instance of some wretch OF a
United States marshal. Overton's SYM
pathies were excited, and he inquired
the cause and circumstances of the i'm
prisonment.
Thar he is, said the spokesman OF
the party cover thar on the fence"
Overton looked across the street and
beheld seedy individual perched upon
the fence, leisurely whiting q pine
shingle. The sympathetic lawyer ap-
preached the prisoner and inquired OF
him If he was in trouble.
p. isoner-Yes put me In here ;
charge of 1icit 'stillin'.
O.-And they keep you pretty close
Prisoner-Yaas. Time bout half out.
Got transferred from Knoxville Jail.
O.-Who is your jailer?
Prisoner-Jailer Ha'ant any. Garry
the keys myself.
At this juncture the party from the
drinking-shop had crossed the street
and came up to where Overton and the
prisoner were talking.
Yaas," said the spokesman " it's a
shame. Them marshals had better not
come about here no more. Come over
and have drink"
And the whole party, prisoner in
cluded, adjourned to the "mill," and
took drink of brandy.
In few days Zone of the boy " of
the engineer corps, who had heard of
this remarkable prisoner, visited the
jail at Huntsville. The door stood wide
open, and man was in the only room,
alone, hammering away at some sort of
carpenter work.
In answer to the question if he was
the unfortunate person who was suffer-
ing the misfortunes of imprisonment
for the crime of making a few gallons
of eye-ope-eI, he replied
"Y-a-a-s. Got me in here" And
the suffering convict put on sucn a
look of distress that the man of tran
sits and targets said
can outrageous shame. Come over
and let's have drink.
And over went the two, the prisoner
locking the door behind him.
The next day or two, two of the en-
gineer corps met this fo1lly-used con-
Wet in IL woods with a gun on one
shoulder and lot of game over the
other. In answer to a question they
got the stereotyped reply:
"Y-a-a-s. Got me in here. Licit
'stillin'."
A few days more, and one of the en-
gineers met the oppressed individual
three miles from Huntsville, on his
way home to spend few days with his
family.
"And you're the prisoner ?"
Ya-a-s got me in here"
The facts herein are vouched for by
the gentleman who related them. The
circumstances reveal an amount of cold
blooded cruelty upon the part of the
citizens and officials of Scott county
rarely equaled in modern times.

STIMULANTs IN FEvER.-A few years
ago the physician who gave brandy or
whisky to patient in a fever would
have been deemed a mailman. Now,
however, miik-punches are freely adj
ministered to the victim of malarial
blood-poison, and whisky is given even
in brain fever. Aud here is the philoso-
ply of the change: Professor Binz, of
Bonn, has found by experiment that
moderate doses of alcohol lower the
temperature of the blood very notice
ably, while large or Undertaking doses
cause a decrease of from three to five
degrees Fahrenheit, lasting for several
hours. Thus in blood-poisons-whence
all fevers cOme-the use of alcoholic
agencies must be beneficial.

HEINZ VON STEIN.

Out rode from the wild, dark forest,
The terrible Heinz Won Stein;
He paused at the door of tavern,
And gazed at the swinging sign.
He sat himself down in a corner,
And growied for . bottle Of wine;
Up came, with q flask and corkscrew
maiden Of beauty divine.
Then he sighed, with q deep love-longing
And said. "Oh, dsmosen mine,
Suppose you just give few kisses
To the valorous Ritter Won Stein.n
And she answered, "The kissing business
Is entirely out of my line;
And certainly will not begin it
Ga q cOuntenance ugly as thine.n
Oh, thin the bold knight was angry,
And cursed both coarse and fine;
And asked her how much was the swindle
For her sour and nasty wine.
AMI fercely he rode to his castle,
And sat himself down to dine.
And this is the dreadful legend
OF the terrible Heinz Won Stein

Orchard MANAGEMENT,

TO fealize the best results from an
orchard, we should be careful in the Sc
lection of varieties and a well drained
location should be chosen on which to
plant the trees. The distance between
the rows should not be so small as to
preclude the trees from obtaining their
full bearing capacity, and to make it
difficult to gather the fruit. Neither
should there be too much space. Twen-
ty-four feet each way has been our prac-
tice of setting and we find it a
suitable distance. If the land is lew
and fiat, the land between the rows
should be plowed toward the tree, so
as to have the dead furrow in the cen
tire, to allow the water to pass off freely.
All the sprouts should be kept from the
base of the trees, but we have not found
it advisable to prune out the heads, as
it lessons the capacity for fruitfulness
and induces the growth of water sprouts.
All of the fallen fruit should be gath
cred and made into vinegar, as the prof
its of the orchard are considerably in
creased from this source. All fruit
should be carefully hand-picked and
that intended for market should be as
sorted and put in clean packages. The
commission men of Chicago assure us
that apples in new barrels bring enough
more to pay for the barrels, even if old
ones could be had free of cost. Varie-
ties that drop from trees, such as Rome
Beauty, Standard and Domino, should
be picked early. Winter fruit should
be kept in cool place, at a temperature
of 46 degrees as near as possible.
The demand for winter apples has
not yet been supplied, and as we wish
to obtain the best results and find
a ready market for our apples, we should
plant at least three-fourths of our or
chards to winter varieties.
The orchard should be shelter ed on
the west and north by belts of rapid
growing trees of every desirable varie-
ties, We advise the planting of white
ash, American elm, sycamore and ash,
leaf maple. Varieties of the willow are
rapid growers, but the timber is of little
value.

Facts in Fattening Cattle.

BoussiDgault estimates that an OK
weighing 748 pounds, fed upon forty
pounds per diem, will increase in weight
about two pounds daily. According to
Mr.. Low, an OK weighing TO pounds and
consuming 1928 pounds of turnips per
week, if he thrives, will gain in the same
time nearly a stone, fourteen pounds,
in weight. Allowing 100 pounds
of hay worth $40 pounds of turnips
the increase is still about two pounds
day.
Mr.. Dubois says the quantity of green
fodder consumed by an OK during the
eight months when he is fatteniDg, is
equivalent to 6, 800 pounds of dry hay.
The average ration of green forage per
diem, lie calculates, therefore, as equiv
alent to about twenty-seven pounds of
hay.
Butthis average is evidently too small,
particularly for cold weather, which was
proven in the valley of Auge in Nor
mandy.
Mr.. Stephenson estimates that fifty
seven per cent. of the whole animal will
be butchers meat; eight per cent tai
low; six per cent. hide, and twenty nine
per cent. entrails. This of course de-
ponds upon the condition of the beef
a fat one will yield greater per cent.
than a lean one. Others give the per
cent. of meat at fifty-three TO sixty-two
per cent.

Ramia Culture.

In a conversation with DR.. Worrall,
we learn that the fibre of the ramio
plant is in great demand in England,
and that if proper machinery could be
procured to strip the fibre from the
plant, it would soon rival in importance
the trade in cotton. The doctor visited
the leading manufacturers of fabrics
made from the ramie, as also machin-
lists who have manufactured the best
stripping machinery at present known :;
but satisfactory results had not been
achieved, and he states that if good
and reliable stripping machine could be
invented such result would not only
bring an immense fortune to the inven-
tor, but would greatly increase the val
ne of every acre of land in Louisiana
and other southern states where the
plant can lie raised. He authorizes us
to's state that the Direct Trade company
of England, of which he is the agent,
will purchase millions of pounds of the
fibre at prices much greater than would
be paid for cotton. -Ne,O Orleans
