A Bullet.Proof Juggler Killed.

A murder case awaiting trial at the Cud.
dapah sessions In India last month was,
according to the India papers, expected
to give rise to much legal discus
sion as to whether the circumstances JUS
titled the charge. A juggler who alleged
that he possessed some power which rem
dered him bullet-proof," invited the
prisoner in the case to aim at him with a
loaded musket, assuring him that he
might do so without the slightest fear OF
prisoner accepted the kind invi.
ket, presented to him by the Jug
gler, Immediately sent bullet through
his head. 1t is urged that, as there was
no intention on the part of the prisoner to
kill the deceased, the charge of murder
cannot be maintained. The juggler was
thoroughly confident of his own invulner-
ability, and several of his relations who
were to be called as witnesses for the de-
Tense were prepared to prove that, al
though several times shot at before, he
was never hurt. Some few years ago, in
England, wizard" at one of the thea
tiers begged one ofathe audience as favor
to fire gun at him. The spectator, thus
invited, loaded the gun with a charge of
shot he had brought with him for the ex-
press purpose Of testing Crucially the al
legged invulnefability of the wizard. The
result was painful in the extreme-the
wizards face was peppered with the shot,
and the spectator who fired the gun was
given into the custody of the police. Both
narrowly escaped death-one by. the gun,
the other by the gallows.

Rules for Farmers.

A correspondent suggests as some
thing "that would interest and profit
many young farmer readers" that we
would prepare and publish 100 rules for
the attainment of success and wealth in
farming. A much smaller number il
faithfully adhered to, will contribute ma
terially to success, and ensure, with econ.
omy and good habits, sufficient wealth to
satisfy the reasonable desires of anyone.
Among them, the following may be men.
toned:
1. Select good land, and reject sterile,
no matter how cheap.
g. Raise no weeds, but only profitable
crops.
8. Underdrain, wherever needed.
4. Adopt good rotation Of crops and
adhere to it..
5. Provide sufficient shelter for domes-
tic animals.
6. Keep everything connected with do
nestle animals neat and clean.
7. Plow we'll, cultivate we'll, do all work
we'll, and not slipshod.
apply it properly.
.. Procure good implements, and take
care of them.
III. ftdlSc SOOu animals anu Idkc CaIe vi
them.
The preceding ten rules will be of much
use If carried out, and we add two more,
to cover them all, viz:
II. By weighing and measuring, and
with careful accounts, ascertain just what
every crop or every animal cost you, and
find out just what is the market value OF
each.
-. Employ then those crops and ami
mails which you find give you good
profit, and drop all else.
You can thus have the satisfaction of
knowing that you are carrying out Ric-
ardo's two famous rules for acquiring
wealthy namely.
1. Cut short your losses.
2. Let your profits run on.-Country
