Clara Fields, nine,oen-year old girl Of De-
troit, went before justice on Monday and asked
for a warrant for her father, whom she accused
OF assault and battery. II seems that her father
kicked her lover out OF the house on Sunday
night, and es the young man wouidn apply for
a warrant she took it upon herself to do so, be-
ing determined ito make the old man get up
and suffer" The warrant was not issued, much
to her dissatisfaction.

Rolled Corn for Poultry.

An English agricultural paper has
a very sensible article on breeding,
feeding, and other care of poultry,
which we should be glad to copy did
space permit. Experience has proved
the wisdom of the following sugges-
tions:
IL any one should suggest that corn
would be easier of digestion if soaked
or boiled, he would very likely receive
the answer that corn was nothing hard
to digest for birds, which swallow stones
and other hard substances without det-
riment. A moments thought, however,
will convince that the mill-stones and
the grist are very different things,
and feeding hard grain, although not
exactly like feeding the millstones with
pebbles, bears a certain likeness to il.
The trouble attendant upon the prepar-
alton of food, if it is to be cooked, may
indeed seem very Inappropriate to the
advantage to be deprived from such
treatment, but in reality little time need
be spent as before going the rounds of
the nests, little hot water may be
poured over the grain, a tight cover
put on the kettle, and the whole placed
over the stove, where by the time your
rounds are completed, the corn will
have become steamed and mellow, and
have lost none of its good qualities.
Remember each hen ha a certain
amount of animal force to be expended
every day in some direction, and the
less she has to give to digesting her
food, the more she will have to be ex-
pended in egg producing.

Embedded Frogs.

One of the most remarkable, and
perhaps the least applicable, facts con-
nected with this family of reptiles, is
the alleged Enclosure of frogs and toads
in solid rock and in the heart of trees,
where they are supposed to have ex-
listed for unknown centuries, deprived
of all access to food or air, and yet
alive when extricated. The stories re-
lating to this subject are many and mar
velous men of science do not think it
safe to believe them, but at the same
time they are convinced that there is
some truth in the matter, however diff
cul it may be to get at. Smelle, in his
Philosophy of Natural History, refers
to an account in the Memoirs of the
Academy of Sciences, of a toad found
alive and healthy in the heart of an
old elm and of another discovered
near Nantes in the heart of an old oak,
without any visible entrance to its hab-
itation. In this second instance, iudg-
ing from the number of rings in the
wood, and the depth of the imbedding,
it was inferred that the animal must
have been imprisoned there at least
eighty or hundred years. Mr.. Jesse,
the naturalist, found frog in a null
berry-tree; the annular layers of wood
were gradually but surely inclosing
him. The imprisonment of frogs and
tOads in stone is, however, much more
remarkable than the trunks of trees,
even if we believe only a modicum of
the narratives published on the subject.
The statements are unmistakable, and
are made in all good faith, that living
frogs and toads are occasionally met
with thus imbedded, ana that exact
impressions of their bodies, correspond
ing to their respective sizes, are left in
the cavities of the stone where they
are found. ellsworth is credited with
having once had Eve do not know
wheter it still exists marble chimney
piece with a print of toad in it; there
was Evolutionary account of the place
and manner in which it was found. The
Mining Journal contains an account of
discovery made by a miner at Penny
darran, near Merthyr Tydvil. When
working at a depth of 45 feet, his man
dTel struck into a piece of shale; frog,
large but weak, leaped out and crawled
along the ground with some difficulty;
the eyes were full sized, but apparently
sightless the mouth seemed as if per-
manently closed, and the spine was
twisted as if it had been compelled to
adapt itself to q narrow and ill-shaped
space. The frog, when liberated, grew
in size and weight, but could not be
fed he appeared to breathe through
the skin covering the lower jaw. We
certainly cannot blame Ellis, the miner,
for exhibiting his prodigy to admiring
visitors at public-house in Merthyr
and considering the intensity of popu-
lar belief on this subject, we must view
his inscription ''The
greatest wonder in the world a frog
found in stone forty feet below the
surface of the earth, where it has been
living without food for the last five
thousand years p.-AU the Year Round.

EXPORTS OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.
Official records of custom house returns
at Washington show that the total value
of musical instruments exported from
the United States during the year end
ing June 80, 1874, was $3.50, 1877. OF
this, 1888, 176 was for pianos and $780,
Isl for parlor or reed organs. OF this
latter amount $163, 169, or more than
one-half of the whole, was of the cabinet
organs made by the Mason & Hamlin
Organ Co., which bid fair to become as
famous in Europe as they have long
been in America. This company GER
tainly have reason to be proud of the
fact that the European demand for their
organs is larger than that for all others
combined. Boston Traveller.

Try IT.-A tonic and alternative medi-
cipe, the invigorating and regulating
properties of which actually lengthen
life, and add to the capacity for its en-
ioyment, is within the reach of every
member of the community. No invalid
who has had recourse to DR.. Walkers
Vinegar Bitters will hesitate to concede
to it these invaluable qualities. 1t is a
stomachic and a corrective of unrivaled
efficacy, yet being free from alcohol, it
is not an excitant. Its anti-bilious oper-
alton is more direct, speedy, and certain
than that of any of the dangerous min
eral salivants, and as an aperient, it
gently removes any distractions that
may have accumulated in the lower in
testine, without producing either irrita-
ton or pain. In fact, its wonderful
remedial effects are unaccompanied by
any drawback. Of all medicines, it is
the most harmless and salubrious. AS
an appetizer, it is far ahead of any of
the alcoholic nostrums that momentarily
