SALT FOR HOGs.-Thc Agricul-
turist says: The unrestrained appe-
tite Of swine will often lead them
to consume things that arc highly
injurious TO them. Cases Of poison
ing partaking of excessive quaint
titles of salt often occur among
hogs at this season when beef and
pork barrels are emptied of the old
brine and refuse salt. a case in
which several hogs were thus lost
IN England was recently noted.
Hogs require a certain amount of
salt, as do other animals, but it
should be given to them with eau
tion. and either mixed evenly i'm
their feed or scattered very thinly
about their trOughs, so that one
more greedy than another can not
take more than its proper share.

story OF the Curre,. Bells.

The first line of Grey's elegy-
"The curfew tolls the knell of part
ing day." has made the word 'curfew'
familiar to every English-speaking
boy and girl. The word is formed
OF two French words, cOuUre fen or
oOurrir fett (oover fire, and came into
use when William the Norman, the
first monarch of England, made law
that all fires should be extinguished
at the sound of the evening bell.
To many hearts III the old country
that cherish its tradition, the ''cur-
few" recalls a story of loves devo-
tion.
In the times of Cromwell n young
soldier, for some offense, was con-
demned to die, and the time of his
death was fixed. ''at the ringing of the
curfew." Naturally such a doom
would be fearful and bitter to one in
the years of his hope and pride, but
to this unhappy youth death was
dOubly terrible, since he was soon to
have been married to a beautiful
young lady whom he had long loved.
The lady, who loved him ardently
in return, had used her utmost efforts
to aver his fate, pleading with the
Judges, and even with Cromwell HIM
self, but all in vain. In her despair
she tried to bribe the old sexton not
to ring the bell, but she found that
impossible. The hour drew near for
execution. The preparations were
completed. The officers of the law
brought forth the prisoner, and wait
ed, while the sun was setting, for the
signal from the distant bell-tower.
To the wonder of everybody, it did
not ring. Only one human being at
that moment knew the reason. The
poor girl, half wild with the thought
of her lovers peril, had rushed IN
seen up the winding stairs, and climb
cd the ladders into the beIfry loft,
and seized the tongue of the bell.
The old sexton was in his place,
prompt to the fatal moment. He threw
his weight upon the rope, and the
bell, Obedient to his practiced hand,
rolled and swung to and fro in the
tower. But the brave girl kept her
hold, and no sound issued from its
metallic lips.
Again and again the sexton drew
the rope, but with desperate strength
the young heroine held on. Every
moment made her position more fear
full; every sway of the bells huge
weight threatened to fling her thro'
the high tower window; but she would
not let go.
At last the sexton went away. Old
and deaf he had not noticed that the
curfew gave no peal. The brave girl
descended from the beIfry, wounded
and trembling she hurried from the
church to the place of execution.
Cromwell himself was there, and was
Just sending to demand why the bell
was silent She saw him.

FLOWING UNDER CROPs.-A cor

cate gives these directions: Fasten
one end of chain on furrow end OF

Of'chain according to height of grass
plowed under. Now, / think YOU

All sorts of things have been said
of and about, for and against, the
Virgin Queen since her death. But
it was reserved for Bishop Cum
minis of the New Episcopal Church,
to invent an entirely new charge a.
gainst that royal lady. If we are
TO believe q Herald reporter, who
processes TO have heard the Bishop
preach on Sunday, he spoke very
sternly of Queen Elizabeth for her
vain practice of coming to church
every Sunday to be washed by the
priests We cannot guess what
Mr.. FrJude will say to this, nor
can we quite make out what it is
that the Bishop condemns, the
Queens being washed Ia church,
her being washed by the priests,
her being washed once a week, or
her being washed only once q week.
The early English annalists tell US
that one of the exasperating causes
of the great massacre of the Danes
in old England was a habit those
NOrsemen had Of bathing every
Saturday and changing their gar
ments frequently to increase their
personal attractiVeness.' This made
the English women prefer their
Danish TO their native suitors, it ap-
pears. OF course, if Queen Eliza
beth took her baths in church, with
an eve to Robert of Leicester or
the Duke Anjou, her conduct was
reprehensiblo. But on the ground
that cleanliness IS next to godliness
there Is something to be said for
her. At all events, We should like
TO know the Bishops authority for
this curious fact in cosmetic history.

A young girl of Philadelphia,
who is now on her travels, went to
Westminster, and condescended to
admire the great abbey. With ad-
miration came the desire of possess
sion. The whole was too large to
be removed, so she quietly took a
penknife from her pocket, and cut
off a piece of the chair of Edward
the Coniessori She was arrested,
and as she was very pretty, they
let her off with five hundred dol
ars-the price would have been
higher if she had been palmer.
Not contont with this, she serene
ly journeyed to Dresden, in search
of new worlds to conquer. While
visiting a church there, she attempt
ed to possess herself of some flow
ers from a shrine. In pulling them
off she overturned the image of the
Virgin, TO the infinite horror of the
eustodians of the church. For this
pleasing freak her father paid
twenty-five hundred dollars. Her
beauty probably made the fine
small on this occasion also; but
fancy the panic in that family if she
had had red hair and frecklesI And
if she had been a forbidding female
of uncertain age. dare not dwell
on the fnacial crisis that must GER
tainly have ensued.-Correspon-
dence Boston Transcript.

WORDS OF WISDOM. The San
dersville (Ga.) Herald is full of com
mon sense on the subject Of farm
ing this year. These arc pre-emi-
nently the times for small fields and
concentration of labor. Put the
manure commonly allowed on ten
acres on one, and save the labor
thrown away on the odd nine. Pull
of your coat and pitch into work
yourself. Raise all your own food.
Lead your labOrers. Stay at home.
Make no debts. Waste no time. Do
a good days work every day. and
see that everybody that works for
for you does the same. The Herald
tells of n Washington county farm
er who made last year seventy-five
bushels of corn per acre, upon what
was once poor pine land. 1t does
not take many such acres TO fill the
crib. Put these little paragraphs
into practical effect aud tight times
will leave your elearings.
