The trial Of the action TiIton vs.
II. w. Beecher for the higaest Of
tense known to families is in its
sixth week. However e may end
it is almost certain that the famed
minister ofPlymouth Church. Brook
lyp, has finished his professional ca
reer. Casting aside all Moulton's
and Tiltop's evidence as worthless,
there is document tary testimony
enough to show that if Mr. Beecher
we're in any village in Fife, he would
be soused in water butt. We have
not seen Tilton's evidence; we have,
though, read that of Moulton, who
leaves the impression OF being a sin
gularly clever man. All things are
possible in America, and we should
not wonder that the report of his
bearing in the witness box-apd tits
to be remarked that when he blows
his nose he is reported-will cause
him to be run for the Presidency.
We are also bound to add that there
is nothing like tortuousness in his
very long statement and prodigious
cross examination. His attitude is
straightforward, and he does not
bend by a sentence. Bad as is the
whole story, and it is fostering with
maggoty corruption, it is scarcely
more defaming to the American peo-
pie than the American reporting. In
this country, the New York Herald,
Through eight of whose nonpareil
pages we have waded, would require
to be accompanied into the house
with chloride of lime. - Fifeshirc

Death Of an AGED Patriot


George A. Stewart died at IOttawa
Lake, January 25th, at the residence of
his daughter, Mrs. Coger. Mr.. Stewart.
had he lived till March 18th, would have
been SO years old. He was perfect
type of the true American, tall, straight,
well proportional and uncommonly
healthy. He would readily have passed
for q man of fifty. He has seen our
country pass through some trying times,
was one Of the many American, seamen
who were pressed into the British service,
just previous to the breaking. out of the
war of 1912, where he was forced to
serve against his country for two years,
when he succeeded, with three others,
in making bis escape. He Immediately
enlisted in the American navy, and
served throughout the war, a portion of
the time in the frigate Constitution.
Although upward of eighty years of age,
ON the breaking out of the rebellion, he
felt it his duty to again offer his life in
defense of freedom, and though too old
to enlist, he insisted on going the war,
and attahced himself to the 72nd. Ohio,
with which he saw considerable service.
He retained his reason and conversation
al powers to remarkable degree, up to
the day of his death, and on no subject
would he become so animated and en-
thusiastic as when talking of the strug-
giles of our country for existence. Mr..
Stewart was in the habit of visiting his
children regularly once or twice year,
and had Just been to see his son, Mr.. r.
+. Stewart, near Bhssheld Crossing.
His illness was brief and painless. Thus
are the few remaining soldiers of the
war of 1872 passing from the stage of
life. Peace to their ashes and may they
never be forgotten by the American
people.

THE OLD CHARGER AND THE
BAKER.

It Is wonderful 10 see how the horse,
when once properly instructed, never
forgets what he has been taught. There
are many amusing instances Of this; as
in the case of the old charger which a
London baker had purchased, and on
which he rode when supplying his GUS
toners with loaves and hot rolls. Pass
ing, one morning, the gate at Hyde
Park, the trumpet sounded for the regi.
ment Of life guards to fall in. Nosoon-
er did the sound assail the ears Of the
old charger than away he darted into
the park-off flew the bakers hat, out
jumped the loaves from the panniers-
in vain did the baker try to restrain his
headstrong speed.
In a few seconds he found his horse
had placed him in the front rank of til,
Guards.
The baker tried in every way to ge
him to quit the position, but all to M
purpose.
The soldiers were enjoying the gro
tesque appearance of the baker and hi
horse, when one of the Guards recog
nized the animal, and informed hi
comrades that some years ago it belong
ed to the regiment, but had been solC
on account of inhrmity. l...

their old companion; and the Colonel, t,
carry on the joke gave the signal t,
advance. Away once more went tn
baker, and away went the remaining
contents of the panniers. Various othe
evolutions were performed,i in which tn
animal displayed great skill, and it wa
only when the retreat was sounded tina
it consented to resign itself to the guild
ance of the bakers bridle.-[ [Anima

The TALLEsT CHIMNEY IN THE WORLD -
The tallest chimney in the world is the
Townsend chimney, Glasgow, Scotland.
It was built by Robert Corbett OF Glas-
gov, for Joseph Townsend of Crawford
Street Chemical Works. The total
height from foundation to top of coping
is 4eS feet, and from ground line to
summit, Asa feet; the outside diameter
at foundation being so feet, at ground
surface 81 feet, and at top of coping II
feet 8 inches. The number of bricks
used in the erection was as follows:
common bricks in chimney, l, 142 ,532,
composition and fre-biicks for inside
cone, 157 ,46S; common bricks for fues,
etc., 100, 600; total, 1,400, 600. The
weight of bricks at 5 tons per 900 is
equal to 1000 tons. When within 5
feet of completion, the chimney was
struck by gale from the northeast,
which caused it to sway Z feet 8 inches
off the perpendicular, and it stood
several feet less in height than before
it swayed. To bring back the shaft to
it's true vertical position, Saving back"
had to be resorted to, which was per-
formed by Mr.. Townsend's own men,
ten working in relays, four al time
saving, and two pouring water on the
saws. The work was done from the in
side on the original scaffolding, which
had not been removed. Holes were
first punched through the sides to ad-
NIT the saws, which were wrought al
ternately in each direction at the same
joint on the side opposite the inclina-
ton, so that the chimney was brought
back in slightly oscillating manner.
This was done at twelve different
heights, and the men discovered when
they were gaining by the saws get
ting frightened by the superintendent

CURING HENS OF THE PROPENSITY
TO SIT.

1t is quite as natural for hen to sit
rs it is to eat or to lay eggs. Hence,
after hen has produced an indefinite
number of eggs, sometimes few and
sometimes many, she will cease to lay
and her system will assume a proper
preparation to pass the period of incu-
baton without impairing her health.
When q hen is in laying habit, it
would be ruinous to her health to re-
main inactive on the nest for twenty-one
successive days-the period of incuba-
ton. Some hens are SO slightly in
clined to incubate that the propensity
may be cured simply by driving them a
few times from the nest, while others
even when they have produced only
half sitting of eggs, will stick to their
nests with pugnacious desperation. Ii
it is not desirable that a hen be per-
mitted to incubate, she must be treated
philosophically and understandingly.
When the desire to incubate comes on,
the laying habit disappears. My own
practice is to put such hens as are in
clined to incubate in large cage in
the hennery, where they can see other
fowls outside of their prison, and give
them a generous supply of soft food
and water. After they have been re-
leased one or two days they will COM
mence immt diately to " feed up" and
to bring the system again to an egg
producing habit.
A great many sensible people, who
do not understand the correct way to
manage hens at this natural period
take them into dark apartment and
shut them up in barrel, or turn corn
basket over them. Others order hen
to be ducked nine times in water to
cure the propensity to sit. Others still
hold hens head in pail of water
while one is counting fifty. Others will
tie q piece of red flannel to hen.
Numerous other stupid remedies are
adopted, all of which are unphilosoph-
ical and Intellectual. But when Sc
cured in q cage, as suggested, if fed
generously with soft food, hen will
soon commence laying another sitting
of eggs. When I have a valuable hen
or turkey whose eggs are desired for
rearing stock of that particular bird,
she is kept laying. As soon as she has
produced a brood of eggs and desires
TO nit she is put in cage for day or
two and her eggs are placed beneath
another fowl. By this system of man.
agement turkey will often lay three or
four sittings of eggs in one season.

To SCRAMBLE EGas. Break ~ eggs
into a bowl, add tablespoonful of salt,
beat them for minute or two, put a
lump of butter as large as an egg into
a farina boiler, or put tin saucepan
into q skillet partly filed with water,
as substitute for a farina boiler, pour
in the eggs and stir constantly until
they are cooked. They should not be
too moist nor too dry. Serve in hot
dish, with or without buttered toast
underneath them. Another recipe says
Have spider hot and buttered; break
the eggs into dish, being careful not to
break the yelks; slip them into the
spider, add very little salt, with but
tsr the size OF nutmeg for half dozen
eggs, or three tablespoonsful of rich
cream. Whenthe eggs begin to whiten,
stir carefully from the bottom until
cooked to suit. The yelks and whites
should be separated, though stirred to-
gether.
