The First Client.

IA Legal Ditty to be sang OithoM Chorus to the
Air Of "The Kings Old Cowrtier."l
BY IRWIN RUSSELL.
John Smith, young attorney, just admitted
to the bar,
And a frown of deep abstraction held the seizn
of his face
The result of contemplation of the rule in Shell
ley's Case.
One day in term-time Mr.. Smith was sitting in
the Court,
When some good men and true of the body of
the county did on their oath report,
That heretofore, to wit: upon the second day of
May,
A. d. 1877, about the hour of noon, in the
county and state aforesaid, one Joseph
Scroggs, late of said county, did then and
there feloniously take, steal and carry
away
One bay horse, of the value of fifty dollars, more
or less,
(The same then and there being of the proper
ty, goods and chattels of one Hezekiah

Contrary to the statute in such case expressly
made
And provided; and against the peace and digni-
ty of the state wherein the venue had been
laid.
ed upon the charge,
And plead not guilty, and of this he threw him
self upon the country at large;
And said Joseph being poor, the Court did gra-
ciously appoint
Mr.. Smith to defend him-much on the same
principle that obtains in every charity hos
pital, where young medical student is of
ten set to rectity serious injury to an or
gan or q Joint.
The witnesses seemed prejudiced against poor
Mr.. Scroggs;
And the district attorney made n thrilling
speech, in which he told the jury that if
they didn't find for the state he reckoned
he'd have to "walk their logs'
Then MIR. Smith arose and made his speech for
the defense,
Wherein he quoted Shakespeare, Blackstone,
Gritty, Archbold JOAQUIN Miller, Story
Kent, Upper, Smcdes and Marshall, and
many other writers, and everybody said
they "never heered SIGH bust of elo-
qucnce."
And he said:" On This hypothesis, my client
must go free;
And again, on this hypothesis, it's morally
impossible that he could be guilty, don't
YOU see?''
And: Then, on his hypothesis, you really
And SO on, with forty six more hypothesis, upon
none of which, Mr.. Smith ably demonstra-
ted, could Scroggs be derelict.
But the jury, never stirring from the box where
in they sat-
Returned verdict of "guilty;" and his honor
straightway sentenced Scroggs to q three
year term in the penitentiaTy, and heavy
fine, and the costs on top of that;
And the prisoner in wild delight got up and
danced and sung;
And when they asked him the reason of this
strange behavior, he said; cts because

Influence of The Forest.

Forests produce rain. Under the infu-
ence of vertical sun-rays trees exhale the
aqueous vapors which their leaves have
tact with the night air Or any stray current
of lower temperature, these vapors dis
charge rain showers even in midsummer,
and at great distance from the sea.
By moisteDing the air woodlands also
moderate the extremes Of heat and cold
1t is seen on the sea-shore how benefcent-
ly humidity operates in allaying the severi-
ty of winter, and in summer the evapora-
ton of dew and rain gives us cool breezes
when they are most needed. By the extir-
patton of forests the climate of the entire
orbis Romanus has been changed from the
summer temperature of West Virginia to
the furnace.h heat OF New Mexico and Ari-
zona.
Besides this, the forest by shade in sum-
mer and fuel in winter protects us direct
ly against the vicissitudes of temperature,
and at the foot of high mountains interpo-
ses mechanical barrier between the val
leys and avalanches in the north, and
floods in the south. The r-torrents,
which not only flood and damage the low
lands but carry their fertile soil away, are
imbibed or detained by extensive forests.
Joseph II. Of Austria was right to attach
heavy penalties to the destruction of the
"Bannwalder," the woods on the Alpine
slopes, that protect the valleys from ava
lanches, and to propose that in wars, even
a Poutrance, the trees should be spared by
international agreement.
Our woods are also the home and shelter
of those best friends of man, the insectivo.
rous birds. A country destitute of trees is
avoided by birds, and left to the ravages of
locusts and other insects, which, as we saw
on our own continent, always attack the
barren and naked districts. Our locust
swarms devastated the "Great West" i. e.,
the treeless expanse between the Mississip-
Ri and the Rocky Mountains, but spared the
woodlands ofthe Alleghanies and the tim
Der regions of the Pacific slope.-Dr. r.

The Oriental Business.

A good citizen of Croghan street was
reading the other day of good Persian
gentleman who always walked about with
a smile on his face. When the Persian
was asked why he always looked SO happy
when other men looked sad, he replied:
81 smile because it may be sunshine to
some poor soul surrounded by shadow"
1t was very nice in the Persian and the
Croghan street man said he'd be hanged
if he couldn't outsmile Persian or any
body else walking around on two legs
He at once began to smile at his wife,
She stood it for few moments and then
observed
"What's the matter, William-got the
collie again ?"
VI smile because l want to carry sun
shine to your darkened SOUL" he replied.
She wanted him to understand that ff-
teen minutes at the woodpile would help
her more than all the grins he could grin
in straight week, and when he went into
the kitchen to smile some sunshine at the
hired girl the wife followed him and
raised row that put dinner three-quar-
tiers of an hour behindhand. However,
one can't get the hang of oriental bust
ness in day, and this man tried it again
on the street car as he came down yester-
day. Opposite him sat an old woman
with basket, and he undertook to smile
the shadows from her heart. She watch
ed him for two or three minutes, growing
madden all the time, and presently she
asked:
"Do you think you know me, that you
are grinning across the aisle like circus
baboon ?"
81 SMILE madam, because-because-
he stammered, forgetting what the Persian
said. 81 smile because"
"You are grinning because have got
sore eyes!"
"No madam. l smile that THAT l."
"I'll not stand !" she exclaimed, and
she hammered him with big basket until
he escaped off the platform.
"Now grin over that, will you !" she
called after him as she shook the basket
in the air.
"The Persian who went around smiling
was foor and I'm his first cousm !" growl-
ed the man, and he quit smiling and pick
ed fight with n harness maker.

The Best Sheep.

The best sheep for farmer to keep are
those that yield the heaviest feeces and
the greatest number of pounds of meat
The scrub sheep will yield from three to
six pounds of wool per head, while meri-
noes will range between ten and twenty
pounds, and thorough bred Cotswolds
more. Why is it that the farmers do not
raise the sheep which will give these heavy
fleeces2 Then as to meat, the fine sheep
produce an enormous amount of flesh, and
do not eat any more than q scrub. But
besides these facts, the fine sheep do not
only yield larger fleeces per head, but the
wool is OF superior quality. The same is
true of the flesh of fine sheep in compare
son with scrubs.
Southdowns, for instance, are the finest
mutton in the world, always commanding
an extra price-a flesh which princesses
desire-while the fleece is medium. The
Shropshire stands next in meat quality,
and are next to Cotswolds in fieeces. The
profits of these breeds are very great in
times of ordinary prosperity, and under all
circumstances it is best for the farmer to
breed them, because they pay better-the
grand result which is the supreme object
of the farmer-the highest possible remu-
hSloeioh lol uio Sapltul anu ldUOIs
And all this concerning sheep is true of
fine breeds of cattle, horses, hogs and poul-
try. In the face of these indisputable
facts, the mass of the people should not
handle scrub stock, and entertain an igno-
rant opposition to fine breeds. There is
one supreme reason for this. The mass of
people do not read papers devoted to live
stock interest, and are wholly ignorant of
the vast progress that is making in the
more intelligent ranks of farmers. There
are sections of Kentucky where improved
breeds of stock are almost unknown. 1t is
only small number of men who are alive
to it and keep themselves thoroughly post
ed in regard to the progress of agricultural
science and the breeding of the best ami
mails, while the mass remain in the old rut,
following after the custom of a hundred
years ago. If farmers would elevate their
calling and render it more remunerative,
they must put themselves in living con-
nection with the intellectual spirit of
the age.-Kentucky Lire Stock Record.

The Formulation OF the Globe.

The most trustworthy estimate of the
number of people on the earth for the year
1876, as furnished by the German statisti-
clans, is ,423,917,000 This is an increase
of over twenty-seven millions on the est-
mate of 1875, but the augmentation is not
due to excess of births over deaths, but
largely to the obtaining gilmore accurate in
formation regarding the population of re-
gions hitherto little known, and to more
perfect census returns from other countries
Asia is still the home of majority of
the human race, after having supplied
shoots from which have sprung great
Western peoples. About four-sevenths of
the earth's population is Asiatic, or $685.
54S,500; Europe comes next with over a
fifth, or 309,178,300; Africa with about a
seventh or 199,921, 600; America with less
than sixteenth, or S5,519,S00; and, final
ly Australia and Polynesia, with the very
small fraction of 4,74S,600 people. =
Europe is the most densely populated,
having SO persons to the square mile; Asia
comes next, with 48 to the square mile;
Africa next, with III and America and
Australia bring up the rear with 81 and 1 !
respectively.
There are 215 cities on the earth with a
population of over 100000; 30 of half a
million or more, and nine cities containing
million or more inhabitants. Of these
last, four are in China. Including Brooklyn
with New York, as we may rightfully do
for purposes of comparison, the greatest
cities of the world stand in this order;
London, 3,499, 42S; Paris 1851 ,792; New
York, 1,535,622; Vienna, 1901, 800; Berlin,
1,044,000; Canton and three other Chinese
cities, one million each. New York there
fore takes its place third in the list of great
cities without counting our New Jersey
overflow.
Though there are not at hand statistics
upon which to base an accurate statement
Of the fact, yet it is the opinion of all OBJ
servers of the condition of civilized peo-
pie that the average longevity of the hui
man race has increased within hundred
years. Such reports of the death rate as
we have go to support that conclusion, and
it is thoroughly proved that the devasta-
tions of epidemic diseases are not SO great
now as formerly; while the medical art
steadily advances in its mastery of the dis
orders of the human system and in its
ability to ward off and check maladies
which threaten human life. In England
for instance, the death rate has declined
considerably during quarter of century
There and elsewhere in Europe, as also in
this country, the subject of public hygien,
has received great attention of late years
and its difficulties are being steadily over
come. The probability is that men now
on the average, live longer than their an
| cestors and in better average health.-N

Wintering GeraniumS.

The Country Gentleman says: We have
frequently heard the directions given for
wintering small numbers of gera,
NUNS, by taking them up, trimming the
tops, denuding the roots, and then hang
ing them by the roots in the cellar till
spring. This treatment has occasionally
been successful, but probably not one Gel
lar in hundred possesses the proper tenn
perature and degree of moisture In most
cases, the whole plants and roots would
dry up and die before the approach of
weather. Changes of temperature alone
would be sure to spoil them. TO succeed,
the air shonld be quite damp, with uni
form and rather low temperature. A much
better way, adapted to any cellar moist or
dry which does not freeze, is to plant the
geraniums in sawdust in boxes, keep the
sawdust slightly moist, and then place
them as near window as practicable, W here
they can receive light. We tried the
experiment last winter, in quite dry cell
lar, placing the boxes against an unusually
large window for such an apartment. The
roots were first slightly pruned, the tops
we'll cut back, and the whole as closely
packed in boxes about foot and half
square and eight inches deep, as they
could be conveniently crowded together.
All the interstics were then filled with saw
dust, shaken in by added portions, They
were watered only two or three times dur
ing the winter, this being all that was re.
CURED to keep the sawdust moist. The
entire amount of care did not amount to
five minutes in time, from the period when
they were placed in the boxes, until trans
ferred to one end of n hottie in early
April. Every one lived without exception,
and most are doing well. They would
undoubtedly be in a more vigorous condi-
ton, had more care been given, and
proper state of moisture and temperature
been maintained, more nearly approaching
that received by greenhouse plants. The
moss might have been better than sawdust.
The object of this treatment is to initiate
the condition of the plants while dormant
in cool greenhouse.

Scientific ScarecrOW.

The Scientific american gives the follow
ing directions for making scarecrow on
scientific principles:
"The first and best is q suspended look
ng-glass. Take two small, cheap mirrors,
fasten them back to back, tie cord to one
angle and hang them to an elastic POLE
When the glass swings the suns rays are
reflected all over the field, even if it be
large one, and the oldest and the bravest
of crows will depart precipitately should
one of its lightning flashes fall on him.
The second plan, although terror to
crows, is especially well suited to fields
subject to the inroads of small birds and
even chickens. 1t involves an artificial
hawk, made of a big potato, and long
goose and turkey feathers. The maker
can exercishis initiative skill in sticking the
feathers to represent the spread wings and
tail of the hawk. 1t is astonishing what
ferocious looking bird of prey can be
constructed from the above simple material.
1t only remains to hang the object on
tall bent pole and the wind will do the
rest. The bird will make swoops and
dashes in the most headlong and threaten
ing manner. Even the most inquisitive of
venerable hens has been known to hurry ra-
pidly from its dangerous vicinity, while to
small birds it carries unmixed dismay.

Never Forget ANYTHING,

A successful business man told me there
were two things which he learned when he
was eighteen, which were ever afterwards
of great use to him, namely, "never to lose
anything, and never to forget anything"
An old lawyer sent him with an impor-
tant paper, with certain instructions what
to do with it.
"But," inquired the young man, "sup-
pose lose it; what shall I do them"
The answer was with the utmost EN-.
phasis, ''you must not lose It'll"
II don't mean to-" said the young man,
"but suppose should happen to ?"
"But say you must not happen to E; l
shall make no provision for any such ac-
currence; you must not lose it !"
This put u new train of thought into the
young mans mind, and he found that if he
was determined to do thing he could do
it. He made such provision against
every contingency that he never lost any
thing He found this equally true about
forgetting. If certain matter of impor-
lance was to be remembered, he pinned it
down on his mind, fastened it there, and
made it stay. He used to say. "When a
man tells me that he forgot to do some
thing, tell him he might as we'll have
said, Il did not care enough about your
business to take the trouble to think of it
again. once had an intelligent young
man in my employment, who deemed it a
sufficient excuse for neglecting an impor-
tant task to say,"I forgot it," I told him
that would not answer. If he was suffi-
GENTLY interested, he would be careful to
remember. 1t was because he did not
care enough that he forgot. 1 drilled him
with this truth. He worked for me three
years, and during the last ofthe three he was
utterly changed in this respect. He did
not forget anything. His forgetting, he
found, was lazy and careless habit of the
mind, which he cured.-X. Y. q. IN Com.

A SCHOOL GIRL THRAsHING A Boy
A curious example of female grit occurred
in one of the rural school districts in
Skowhegan, Me-, recently. The school was
disorderly. one, the teacher having lost
her control over the scholars. Some of the
boys had annoyed the girls exceedingly
by throwing wadded paper, junks of clay,
etc. Finally, one of them reported GER
tain boy to the teacher. The teachers re-
ply was that she 'wanted no tattling."--
Soon after, while the school was in session
this boy, in firing across the school room
hit this same young lady, hruting her quite
badly. Her supply OF patience and grace
was exhausted. Immediately Selling a
large book with these words, eff the teach.

stated that the boy has been remarkably
supple and obedient every since.

How TO INCREASE THE Flow OF MILK.
A lady correspondent of a Southern pa
per, writing from Arkansas, gives the fol-
lowing recipe to increase the flow of milk
in COW. She says:
"Tepid water, slightly salted, given
twice day, will increase the flow of milk
third if the cow will not drink it at
first trial, scatter handful of the bran
or meal over the top of it.. They soon be-
come very fond Of it, and will drink all
you will give them. l tried this plan
three years ago with perfect success. Ihad
only one cow, and she was of the common
scrub stock of the country, and after she
began to drink the water, prepared as
above, she furnished me, twice day, two
ordinary buckets full ofmilk, and by feed
ing little corn boiled, the milk yielded
butter enough to support my large fami-
ly.
