to the very last moment of command
ing his muscles he kept his hand upon

powerless he directed the fireman in
the necessary movements. His condi-

the cab and sought relief at the first
stopping-place, but he would not. He
said ne would stay at his post and
bring the engine into Baltimore if he
died in the effort. The many passen-

safety was sitting in the cab, unable to
stir hand or foot. When the train

Feeding Fowls.

IT is not feeding we'll to throw corn,
grain and soft feea promiscuously to
your flocks, in quantities double and
treble what they require for the time
being, This is waste, and tends to cloy
the fowls, who frequently show signs
of indigestion, loss of appetite, and in
difference to their food, under such a
plan of treatment.
1t is not feeding we'll to offer food to
fowls at any time or no time, as the
mood may take you. Have system in
feeding, and give them three times a
day, at least, regular allowance of
varied food-all they will eat up clean,
and "look slyly over their shoulders for
more"
1t is not feeding we'll to stint the birds
particularly when confined, where
they cannot forage for their partial
subsistence) and furnish them with
only half rations. This is starvation,
not economy. Give them enough
not too much-and of that which is
good for them. So they will thrive,
because you will then be feeding them
well.
1t is not feeding well to stuff domestic
fowls with oily scraps, stale raw meat,
sour meal and old offal-when, with
but little more labor and care, you
can give them a moderate and system
attic allowance of cooked meat, fresh
scalded meal daily and softened scraps,
or table offal free from mold and often
sive acids. If you wish to sicken and
disgust your penned-up fowls with their
fare and yourself alike, follow the
former unwise course; but do not ca
jole yourself into the notion that under
this plan you are feeding WE'LL"
Feeding soeW means that you afford
your poultry sufficient for their daily
needs, of quality and in quantity that
will best appease regular habitual mot
a transient and vicious) appetite. All
they can take up at time, comforta-
bly,, without gorging, is ample. Let
the periods for feeding be triple daily,
for old fowls, and four or eight times a
day for young stock.
Give them plenty of fresh clean wa
ter to drink; alternate their cooked veg
etable food with sound grains; give
them a range, if you can, where they
may pick up part of their living, and
never allow them to get desperately
hungry, through your neglect. Thus
you may pride yourself upon your sys-
tenn of feeding soeu.-Poultry World.

The Dignity OF Agriculture.

The one thing most needful to the
farming community is an adequate APP
probation of the Importance and
dignity of agriculture. With an in
crease of intelligence and of the studi-
Gus spirit among the cultivators of the
soil, and with just estimate of the
profession, agriculture would afford all
the means for the development of the
noblest manhood and the security of
the greatest happiness.
The cultivatOr of his own farm is
king over one subject, and that him
self. He lives under his own supreme
dominion. He is subordinate to no
authority but the King of kings. With
rcctitude of life, the force of Just laws
does not touch him. All other occupa-
tons are dependent upon the public,
and two-thirds of those engaged in
them are hired servants. The farmer,
on the contrary, looks only to God, to
his own soil, to his Independent labor,
and to the phenomena of nature for his
support. He is assured of living,
and, if he keeps out of debt, of exemp-
ton from business casualties and the
dangers of bankruptcy.
The moment that witnesses the rise
of a spirit of dissatisfaction and disgust
for such an occupation, that moment
announces the opening of the epoch of
social and national decline. The fever
ish desire of SO many farmers sons to
find servile occupation in the town is q
fatal symptom. Every city is full of
young men seeking clerkships. A
Louisville journal recently said that
even in that small city $4,000 young
men were tramping the streets, vainly
seeking positions which are considered
by puerile taste more genteel than the
cultivation of the soil.
All the WORKOUT Nations began their
decline at the moment when agricul-
ture was abandoned to services and
slaves. Previous to the commencement
of Roman decay the most exalted citi-
Gems were as proud of the farmers oc-
cupation as Of the soldiers profession.

The sowing of buckwheat early in the

Mr.. WILSON thus graphically CLASH
fies farmers: A grain farmer eats his
patrimony up; a hog farmer is a sty
ahead of him in the scale of thrift; a cat
tie breeder and feeder, connected with
the dairy, is a civilized farmer; and a
successful sheep raiser belongs to the
enlightened world.

they do, in keeping up stock of old

invariable rule to keep the pullets only

A CIRCUMSTANCE which occurred the
other day, while not exactly thrilling or
romantic, served to show the mettle of
one of the Oldest engineers on the Bal

is named Curtiss Elliott, and his home

years of exposure he has contracted q
severe rheumatic affection, which rare

aocks." The most illustrious names
in Roman history were given in cOnse-
quence of an excellence their possessors
had attained in the art of raising par
ticular cattle, or Of cultivating particu-
lar plants as Lentulus, Piso,
Cicero, Cincinnatus, Tcrrannus, etc.
In the country no distinction existed,
and the titles of noble and pie beam,
which prevailed in the city, were
merged in the general name oflaborer.
In those ages of simplicity the Romans
were all labOrers, and the laborers were
all soldiers. 1t is to this union that the
fine sentiment of patriotism and virtue
so frequently displayed in their history
may be ascribed; because, as Cicero
justly observed, a country life may be
regarded as the school of simplicity,
temperance and justice. The simple
and moral life produced by agricultural
occupations continued until the intro
duction of luxury into the State-that
bane of National and individual virtue.
Another writer says that "when Ro-
man virtue was the purest the greatest
Generals cultivated their own farms.
Industry and frugality were in high es-
TEEN. When our ancestors said
Cato, wished highly to praise man
they called him good farmer -
Leckey tells us that Censor deprived
a citizen of his vote because his garden
was'negligcntly cultivated.
We make these references to Rome
because she was the greatest of the old
Nations, and her history is the most re-
plete with important lessons to us of
the American Republic. Before the
commencement of her decline under
luxury, corruption, monopoly and
slavery, King Pyrrhus sent a messenger
to the Roman Senate to treat for peace,
and on his return the King asked him
what he had seen? II have SEEM" he
replied, "a Senate full of Kings" Such
were they who had been bred to agri-
culture and to arms. If all these
Kings" did not cultivate their own
farms with their own hands, they were
occasionally compelled to call one from
his pillow to be Dictator in National
emergency. Regulus, in the midst of
his campaign in Carthage, asked to
come home because his farm was un-
cultivated and his family would need
bread. He was not permitted to come
home, but the Senate took charge of
his farm. That was when the soldier
served his country without pay. No
wonder such a people conquered the
world.
Everything in history, Nature and in
philosophy appeals to the farmer to
cultivate an unbounded esteem for his
occupation, and to exert himself, in
cooperation with his fellow-farmcrs,
in placing agriculture at the head Of all
pursuits in honor and dignity. This
would afford the surest guaranty to
popular morality, public integrity and
republican perpetuity.- Cincinnati En-

Torture i'm India.

THE Times of India says: The fol-
lowing facts, elected at the trial at..the
recent sessions in North Arcot of case
in which five natives were charged with
having murdered five of their caste
people, show that torture is not yet ex-
tinct in that part of the world. 1t ap-
peared that the prisoners fields were
robbed of a small quantity of cumboo.
and the deceased and three others be-
ing suspected of having had hand in
the robbery, they were, by the orders
of the first prisoner, who was the vii
lage Reddy (head MANI, seized and tied,
some to the trunks of trees and others
to large stones. In the first case the
feet Of the unfortunate victims were
tied above ground, but the mode adopt
ed subsequently was even more cruel,
for the men were bound with their
faces exposed to the scorching rays of
the sun, with their hands tied above
their heads. The whole five having
been firmly bound, cold water was, by
the orders of the first prisoner, poured
upon the ligatures with the object of
tightening the bonds and thereby in
creasing the suffering of the suspected
men.
After this the first prisoner poured
scalding water over the hands and
arms Of the sufferers. The object of
this was to extOrt a confession of their
guilt and statement duplicating 9TH
ers. After the men had suffered ex-
cruciating agony for eight hours and
were released, it was found that one of
them was dead, while the others were
unable to move. Two of them died in
hospital, whittier they were sent for
treatment; one expired in his village,
while the fifth was able to give his evil
dence before the Committing Magis-
trate, but never rallied from the effects
of the torture, and died after the case
was committed to the Court of Sessions.
The medical evidence was sickening in
its details, as it described how the
arms, hand and lower extremities Of
the victims had become gangrenous,
and how the fingers had rotted and
dropped of. The authority and influ.
ence Reddy usually has in village
went in great measure to deter the
spectators of this wholesale murder
from interfering on behalf of the tor.
tured men. The Court convicted the
first, second, fourth and fifth prisoners
and sentenced them as follows: The
first to death, and the second, fourth
and fifth to transportation for life. Thu
third prisoner was acquitted.

Explosiveness of Flour.

Professors Peck and Peckam, OF the Uni
versity of Minnesota, have been making an
extensive series OF experiments to deter
mine the cause OF the recent f1our-mili eX-
plosion at Minneapolis. The substances test
ed were coarse and fine bran, material from
stone-grinding; wbeat-dust, from wheat
dust house; middlings, general mill-dust,
dust from middlings machine, dust from
flour-dust house (from stones), and -four.
When thrown in a body on light, all these
substances put the light out. Blown by a
bellows in the air surrounding gas flame
the following results were obtained:
and fiour-dust burn quickly, with consider
able blaze. MiddHngs burn quicker, but
with less flame All other substances burn
very quickly, very much like gunpowder.
In all these cases there was space around
the flash where the dust was not thick
enough to ignite from particle to particle; !;
hence it remained In the ssair" after the
explosion. Flour-dust, -middlings,
&C., when mixed with air, thick enough to
ignite from particle to particle, and sepa-
ted SO that each particle is surrounded by
air, will unite with the oxygen in the air,
producing gas at high temperature, which
requires an additional space, hence the
bursting.
There Is no gas that comes from -four or
middlings that is an explosive; 1t is the di-
rect combination with the air that produces
gas, requiring additional space. Powerful
electric sparks from the electric machine
and from the. Leyden Jar were passed
through the air filled with dust OF the dif-
ferent kinds, but without aan explosion in
any case. A platinum wire kept, at white
heat by galyanic battery would not pro-
duce ar, explosion. The dust would collect
upon It and char to black Goals, but not
blaze nor explode.
A piece Of glowing charcoal, kept hot by
the bellows, would not produce an expio.
sion when surrounded by dust, but when
famed into blaze the explosion followed,
"A common kerosene lantern, when sur
rounded by dust OF all degrees Of density,
would not produce an explosion, but WheI
