THE IOWA METEOR.

Iowa CRY, Iowa, February o.
Sufficient data have been received to
determine the general direction OF
the meteor which recently passed
over this State. it entered just below
Burlington at an altitude of about
100 miles, thence took a course west
of north. and vanished about fifty
miles northwest of this place Here
three distinct reports were heard.
which resembled the rumbling of
cars on a bridge. Further west the
reports were more intense, and shook
buildings like an earthquake. It ap-
peared about half the size of a full
moon. There is no foundation for
the report that President Thatcher,
of The State University, has in his
possession a stone which dropped
from this meteor, although a meteoric
stone, weighing seven pounds has
been found twenty-five miles west of
here, supposed to be this meteor.

and sweeter. Flowers lift up their

and sweeter. Flowers lift up their
heads for welcome which we can
not resist giving them, for even in
hours of sadness they pierce the
gloom, scattering tteir bright rays
into the darkened soul, oftimes CON-
ing as messengers of peace. So in
our moments Of exulting joy they
claim the first place.
Oh, blessed be flowers! How
many times have you won your 81
lent way into the homes OF the rough
and uncouth, teaching them youl
lessons Of humility and love-t tanning
down the harsh, unrefned nature
into more gentle and delicate one.
But not here are your best lessons
taught. 1t is in the room of the sick,
the weary and discouraged that your
presence brings most hope and joy.
| do net think we can measure the
greatness OF the lessons taught by
these silent teachers Of hope, purity
and trust, to the weak, discouraged
ones of earth. But into how many
homes are they sent by kind friends
during the long, dreary months Of
frost and snow? The rich can pro-
cure them without trouble and even
humble homes are ofttimes adorned
with them. But there are hundreds
to whom they come as rarely as dia-
monds glitter on the brows of peas
ants.
Ye who have flowers in abund-
ance, gather from them into little
missions OF love your bouquets and
send to those who have none, that
they may fulfill the work which they
were placed on earth to do. You
who have few be not selfish with
these, but see how many clouds you
can scatter from your sick friends
brow-how many homes you can
brighten by these little gifts Of love.
| tell you the lessons taught them
will not be the only ones learned.
They will net only bring joy to the
receiver, but great delight to the
giver-a sweet peace that you are
using even the small things of life
to His honor and glory.

THE EFFECTOF EXERCISE.

1t is found by observation that the
effect of training, or the persistent
use of gymnastic exercises, is to en-
large the heart and lungs both IN
'ize and capacity, Archibald
McClaren, Superintend ofthe Oxford
gymnasium, and author Of "Physical
Education" says: zone of the army
officers sent to me to be instructed
IN gymnastics gained five inches in
glrth around the chest in less than
three months" That this growth is
not explained by the mere enlarge
ment of The pectoral muscles is prov
ed by the increased volume of air
which thelungs are enabled toexpire
as Ia demonstrated by the spiro-
meter, and post mortems abundant
ly show an increased capacity as
well as size In the heart and large
blood vessels. The lungs increase
in length and breadth. forcing the
ribs outward and the diaphragm
downward. 1t is for this reason that
lathletlsl and gymnasts are enabled
to make prolonged and violent
exertlons without getting out OF
wind. The capacity of the heart and
central arteries being enlarged, they
can accommodate moro blood. Their
contractile power being increased by
this new demand upon them, they are
enabled to send on the current
through thus bytheir greater capacity
are able to oxygenize the blood al
fast as it is supplied to them, and SC
no congestion takes place, and nc
inconvenience il felt. The norma
capacity Of the lungs of an adult
tmale is about 200 cubic inches. II
is computed that an enlargement Of
three inches around the chest gives
an increase of fifty inches of lung
capacity.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

New ORLEANS, La, February o.
On the 18th inst, a colored man
named Savan Benert was arrested
at New Iberia, charged with assault
ing a white nam named Thcs. III.
George, who afterward died. after
examination, the Sheriff transferred
him from the Court House to the
jail. On the way an Infatuated mob,
naddened with whisky, threw lasso
over Benert's head, and dragged him
to the nearest tree and hung him.
He was dead, however, before being
hung, having been choked to death
by the lasso. Fears were entertain
ed, at last accounts, thatcher color
ed prisoners would be taken from the
jail and lynched. Leading citizens
were making Intellectual speeches to
the mob.

The L1TELE HERO. Two little
children still and stark on a snowy
slope-the girl wrapped round in
the coat of the boy, and both young
faces fixed by frost in :he calm
repose of death-was the picture
presented to the eye Of wearied
searchers near Mount Aver, Iowa,
the other day. This winters cold
has taken many life, but none of
the untortunates were found in so
touching an attitude as this. 1t was
not in the heat Of conflict that the
boy died; there was no shrieking fife
nor rafting drum to stir his thicken-
ing blood, ncrcomrade's eyes to mark
his heroic fall; nothing to rouse his
young enthusiasm. But the little
coat folded carefully about the girls
form, and his own naked breast,
told of the quiet courage and self
sacrifice with which he had met the
pltlless blast tina: blew as cold OH
him as her.

SET THE HENS.
mortals.

Early chickens pay the best because
YOU can get more money for less birds.
The main help with the first broods is te
have some nice, warm coops to confne
the hen, with front to shut upat pleas
spells by closing the front it causes the
hen 20 nurse the chickens. I have hun-
dreds in February all in coops without
bottoms and had to dig away the driftsd
snow which completely covered and hid
the whole row; on icing brought to
light they were more lively than uaual
for the snow had kept the cold wind
from penetrating, and they were hungry,
as it took time to set them at liberty, as
there were mora than sixty coops, each
one having . hen with from eleven to
thirteen chickens. This has occurred in
several seasons, On some occasions when
the ground was wet from the air being
thawIng. | had some salt hay, short
chafy straw, or sawdust, put on fresh
PLACID and the coop sided along and put
on it. The bare ground is always best
when cry enough and on old sod. My
coops we're always put about six or eight
steps apart and in row, and moved
every day on toaaa clean place; and have
thus gone over several acres which have
shown the effects Of the Groupings from
the chickens by the deep green shade
and the stronger growth of the grass,
The loss from casualties and diseas has
never been so great from early chickens
and the only extra trouble ia the recess
airy closing of the ceops on stormy and
very cold days and the feeding oftencr
tAan in mild weather. I never gave
water so early IN the year, but instead
fed alternately with soft food, which
answers the purpose and saves deal of
trouble; meat once day or once in two
days will do, and then grain and split
corn, varied with scalded meal or bread
and milk, when very young, as most con-
venient. I never pay any attention to
old women's quackery-never give
peppercorns or aught besides the common
everyday food which comes reaniest to
hand for with little chickens, as with
fowls IN general, and main consideration
Is to have them always on the ground
(plain mother earth,) with good
sword the better, and clear of poultry
dung. A WORKING FARMER.

COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE AT COURT.
The Centre County Reporter states-that a
JAS. Bell has been ~subpenaed TO attend
court at Bel Q onte as q witness, and refused
to attend on an attachment. but was after
ward taken by the deputy sheriff. Judge
Mayor having decided that the witness
having demanded his costs at time oi
service, and il having been refused or not
paid. be could not be held for the costs oi
attachment, nor had the Court the right to
issue an att ehmeni 10 the case. This
settles the vexed question Of compulsory
attendance. and establishes the fact In Law.
that no witness is obliged TO attend in a
civil. case until his costs have been paid in
advance. In criminal cases the law may
be different. as the Common wealth is sup
posed to be good for the costs.
