THE RAJAH.

All Schlnd, one Of the Rajahs of In
dia' was noted for the uprightness of
his dealings. and for his nice sense of
honor, even towards the lowest Of his
subjects. One day while out hunting
with his courtiers he became hungry
and ordered some of the game they had
taken to be dressed for an Immediate
repast. This requirement had been
anticipated BY his attendants, and they
had brought with them bread. sauees
plates, and all they needed-all exeer.t
sd0 which had been forgotten. There
was, however, village near BY. and a
a boy was hastily dispatched to procure
some. The Rajah hearing the order
gwen called after the lad to inquire
whether he had taken money to nav for
the salt. At this his attendants ~
pressed some surprise, wondering that
50 great man should trouble binsolf
about such trifes, and adding that
those who had the happiness of living
under his dominion had no right to mur
muir if he should claim at their hand.

REDUCING BosEs.-Mr. Potter War

bones. 1.-THE farmer will set aside a
eask IN some convenient place. for the
reception Of bones. and throw all that
are found on the farm into it, he will be
likely to find collection at the end of
the year that would prove a valuable

the money Dorcas had earned with her

and supported herself and her husband
also. She nursed him when sick. and

operate disastrously by the wasting of

HEAvEs.-The cause of heaves or
broken wind is not yet satisfactorily ac.
counted for. 1t is said by some veterin-
arlans to be incurable; still we never
found case in our experience that was
not either greatly relieved or entirely
cured by simple treatment. This was
as follows: To aid the digestive power
by simple tonics, and to feed the most
nutritious and least stimulating food in
small bulk, avoiding all dry, dusty food.
For instance, horse purchased By the
writer for very small sum. as being
lncurably diseased with the heaves, was
fed three times day with a pailful of
cut timothy hay and oats in the sheaf,
soaked in hot water and fed when cold
mixed with three quarts of oats, corn.
and rye bran ground together A hand
full of salt was given in each feed. and
occasionally few raw potatoes or car
rots cut and sprinkled with bran, were
given In addition. Nothing else was
done, no medicine was given, no long
hay was fed, and all dust in the feed
was carefully guarded against. The re-
suit was an immediate change for the
better, and no trouble from the disorder
at all after few weeks. The horse was
then able to drive rapidly, and might be
considered cured. On the other hand
horses have been known to become dis
eased Immediately after feeding upon
dusty clover hay, the inhalation of the
dry seed-chaff or other dust doubtless
causing the trouble.

ONE OBJECT OF THE GRANGE
MOVEMENT.

4 We see 1t stated over and over again
that the great object of the Grange move
ment among farmers is to sharpen them
and polish them up; to improve their
intellectual and social qualities, and tc
bring them more upon a par with the
inhabitants of cities in intelligence and
enterprise. If the Changers accomplish
all this they will do a great work, and
doubtless they will contribute towards
It.
But Grange meetings can only be few
and far between, whilst the freside meet.
ing at home occurs every evening. Let
the father or mother, or one of the elder
sons or daughters, start an interesting
topic for conversation at the supper table,
in which all are invited to join. This
may be in the form of each giving quo
tation from the Scripture, or from some
standard poet, all round-or each NAM
ing a different kind of tree or shrub, or
plant, or animal, or bird, with some of
Its leading characteristics or uses; or
asking the company to name the Presi-
dents of the United States in their order,
with some leading trait or act of each,
or the States of the Union, &c. These
or thousand other easy mental exercises
would promote cheerfulness and diges-
ton, as well as smartness and intelli-
gence.
Then again after supper, when the
family circle is met round the fire, some
engaged in work, and some only looking
from them like the Laird of Dumbied-
ycks, one of the sons or daughters might
read some attractive and instructive
book for the benefit of all, or the local
paper OF the religious weekly might be
perused aloud. In this way the even
ings would be looked forward to with
interest-home would be the pleasantest
place in the world, and intelligence and
good nature would be efficiently cult
waited.
There are a few greaterresponsibilities
than providing a supply of reading mat
ter for the family, which shall be at the
same time instructive, interesting and
elevating. Parents. will you see to this
great duty for the present Winter
Daily fitness.

CHAMPION COTTON PRESS BURNED.

ATLANTA. Dec. Is The Champion cotton
press caught fire at 2:l5 this afternoon and
the flames spread SO rapidly thnt in few
moments the whole building was in a blaze.
About three Thousand bales of cotton were in
the press and sheds at the time and are nearly
oil total loss.
There is much uncertainty as to the insur.
ance, but it is believed that the loss Oh the
cotton will be 100000, fully insured and
$50, 900 on the press. building and machinery,
which are insured for 100000 only. The
Liverpool and London and Globe have about
$40, 600 on the cotton and $500 on the press
machinery.
The North British and Mercantile and Lon
don and Lancashire have about 5000 on
the cotton and $500 on the press and
machinery. A French company has $4,000
ON the cotton. The Etna. of Hartford,
5000 on the press building, and the Under
writers Agency 5000.
A brick house, opposite the press, insured
in the Etna, of Hartford. for $1,000, was de-
stroyed. The fire is still burning, but con-
sidered to be under control, with no danger
Of spreading.

Our SHINING.

Secretary Bristow report does not confirm
that idea about the revival Of American ship
ping, which the Republican journals have
beer attempting to delude the country with,
during the last two years. There has been O
growth of this interest, but it is SO slight that
We ought to be ashamed to beast Of it. The
secretary says that over p per cent of our i'm
ports and expo is were carried in foreign YES
sells during the last fiscal year-the amount in
1872 having been 7G per cent.
The Secress ry adds, by way OF showing us
what an im,oense loss we have sustained,
that prior 10 1860, seventy-hye to eighty
per cent OF this same commerce was carried
in our OWE vessels. The whole story, there
fore. is tho. instead Of carrying three-fourths
of our commerce, rs in 1860. we have come to
carry only one-fourth-one-half the business
having passed out of our hands to foreigners
What the ,alue of our loss is the President
suggestswhen he states in his message that
we "a1e'-ow paying 100000, 600 per annum
for freights and passage on foreign ships to
be carr,ad abroad and expended in the en-
ploymen. and support Of other peoples.
We 8-e here reminded that two great prob
lens Of the day, the resurrection of our ship
ping, erd the restoration of our money, have
proved too formidable for the Republican
party tc solve; it is no rearer the sokltion of
then aow than it was at the close of the war.
Perhaps the explanation of the fact is, that
'she Republican party destroyed cur ship
ping and degraded our money, and it does
not know how to repair its own mischief
It has been estimated that the aegal-tender
.sts Of 1862 added $1,000, 0O0.00e to the na-
ticnal debtor, in other words, cost the
country that enormous amount Of money: and
now We have the President Informing Con-
y.scSs that the destruction of american ship
ping sacrificed to the protective policy of
the Republican party-is, and has been cost
ing the country 500. 0GG, 600 year. Putting
these two estimates together makes it appear
that We have paid pretty dear for the Repub-
ican policy.-S. Le1is Republican.
