Good Food for Hens


A daily ration Of green food is actu-
ally necessary for laying hens. Vegat.
ables, either cooked or raw, are much
relished also, and serve in some meas.
ure to supply the place of green diet
Onions chopped fine and mixed with
their food are exceedingly wholesome
and if not cure are certainly proven
tive of disease in many instances
Growing chickens are even more anx-
ious for green food than laying hens
They crave it, and when necessary to
be housed from it on accoun, Of in
clement weather, it should DO provided
for them. There is no green food SO
wholesome for them as onion tops cut
up fine.

A correspondent Of The Los Angeles
Herald relates the affects Of placing a
few leaves Of the castor oil plants I'M
der trees that were being spoiled by
grasshoppers. So remarkable was the
result that an actual count of the num-
Der killed under one tree showed four
hundred and ninety-eight dead chop
pers, = without twenty more in a dying
condition. Judging from the effects
soon produced by the small portion of
the leaves eaten, there must have been
material enough to kill ten times as
many. The poison Of the leaves work
ed rapidly, the grasshopper at once be-
coming stupefed, and when he at
temps to fly, falls on his head OF back,
and remains PROSTATE until he dies.

EDUCATION.

Governor Smith in his inaugural
makes the following remarks on edu-
cation:
The reports Of the State Superinten-
dent and of the Boards Of Regents of
the University and Normal Schools
will place before you all needful sta
tistics relative to this important branch
Of State policy. You will give the rec
concentrations they make such consid-
Grafton as their Importance demands.
The great cost and diversity of the
text books used in our common schools
are believed by many to be serious
evils, and fall with peculiar severity
upon that class Of citizens least able to
bear them. Coming directly from the
people, and representing, as you do, all
sections of the State, doubt not you
will be able, by comparison of views,
to perfect measures which will remove
all just grounds Of complaint.
The proper education of the children
and youth Of our State is among the
most important duties Of society. The
State has undertaken this duty only In
part, and should therefore cheerfully
recognize the efficient assistance rem
dered in this work by the many pri-
vate schools and the excellent acade-
mics, colleges and universities which
receive no direct assistance from the
State.

The Angora goats from Asia have
been introduced into Texas very large
ly within the last few years. One man
now has about 1000 crossed with the
Mexican goat. The hair or wool is
long, and will sell from seyenty-five
cents to dollar q pound; the skin or
hide makes the morocco leather and
kid glove; the suet is the best in the
world; and the meat Of the young goat
is tender and tooths0me. On the

THE MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY.

I HAVE generally but little sympathy
Il for those over-cautious mortals who
bury their portable wealth in the earth
for safe keeping, and on proceeding to
dig for it for use find that it has been
carried away by some unknown agency.
Mother earth is kind, and faithful and
trustworthy mother enough so long as
we burden her only with such RESPONSE
bilities as she is able to bear with credit
to herself and satisfaction to her chill
dren ; but as depositary of gold and
greenbacks, bullion or bonds, she is
very apt to prove failure. Her vaults
are damp; her bolts and bars are weak,
and her banking accommodations are
generally inconvenient and insecure
insomuch that we may consider our
selves indeed fortunate if we receive
again anything outside of the agricul-
tural line that we entrust to her keep
ing. Even when moisture and mould
fail to corrupt, or thieves to break
through and steal, she is so constantly
changing the external aspect of things
that one cannot always be certain where
his coin or collaterals are hidden; and
as she keeps no books, nor gives GER
tificates of deposit, we cannot come back
upon the old girl for damages, even
though we were able to prove that she
had the money. / have known SO many
cases of loss resulting from oyer-confi-
dence in her fiduciary faithfulness, that
am convinced that no one but born
idiot will commit his worldly treasure
to her care while there is bank of even
doubtful reputation, or an iron safe
whose lock is capable of battling the in
genuity oe four-year-old boy, within a
hundred miles of him. Still there are
IDIOTS in this world, and know of no
law by virtue of which they can be
brought to state of financial sanity.
make an exception in the case of
Dick Stapleton, there are exceptions, you
know, to all general rules. Dick was
not born idiot; he was a good, and in
the main, as sensible fellow as ever
saw but he had undoubtedly become
temporarily insane through an unhappy
'concatenation of circumstances. In the
first place, he was in love; and that-I
say it er oathedsa and emphatically-is
enough to unsettle the best fus. Second

Select Poetry.
THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

There are beautiful songs that we never sing,
And names that are never spoken
There are treasures guarded with jealous care
And kept as a sacred token, =
There are faded flowers, and letters dim
With the tears that have rained above them,
For the tickle words and the faithless hearts
That taught us how to love them.
There are sighs that come in our joyous hours
To chasten our dreams of gladness,
And tears that spring to our aching eyes,
In hours of thoughtful sadness.
For the blthest birds that sing in spring
Will fit in the waning summer,
And lips that we kissed in fondest love
Will smile on the first new conner.
Over the breast where lilies rest
In white hands stiled forever,
The roses of June will nod and blow,
Unheeding the hearts that sever,
And lips that quiver in silent grief,
All words of hope refusing,
Will lightly turn to the feeting joys
That perish with the using.
Summer blossoms and winter SHOWS,
Love and its sweet elysan
Hope, like siren dim and fair,
Quickening our fainting vision
Dropping spirit and failing pulse,
Where untold memories hover,
Eyelids touched with the seal of death,
And the fltful dream is over

TErE HOTTEST SPOT ON EARTH.

One of the hottest regions of the earth is
along the Persian Gulf, where little Or
no rain falls. At Bahrin the arid shore has
no fresh water, yet comparatively num-
erous population contrive to live there,
thanks to the copious springs which burst
forth from the bottom of the sea. The
fresh water is got by diving The diver,
sitting in his boat, winds great goat-skin
bag around his left arm, the hand grasping
his mouth; then he takes in his right hand
heavy stone, to which is attached strong
line, and thus equipped he plunges in and
quickly reaches the bottom. Instantly
opening the bag over the strong jet of
fresh water, he springs up the ascending
current, at the same time closing the bag,
and is helped aboard. The stone is then
hauled up, and the diver, after taking
breath, plunges in again. The source of
these copious submarine springs is thought
to be in the green hills of Osman, some five
or six hundrded miles distant.

NATIONS AS LETTER WRITER'S.

People may be surprised to hear that
more letters pass amongst the people. of
Switzerland than of any other country.
In year they carry on correspond
ence of twenty three letters for each in
habitant. England comes next with
twenty, then the United States with
nineteen. France holds the ninth rank as
letter Writing people. In telegraphy,
also the Swiss beat us easily. They for.
ward eighty-one dispatches for each
100 souls. England sends bat ffty-four.
We should conceive, however, that two
thirds of the telegraphic business in such
country would lie between foreigners.
Holland sends fifty-one dispatches for
100 souls. Belgium forty seven, the
United States thirty-two, Germany
thirty-one. France again comes in low.
She holds the tenth place amongst thir-
teen quoted. Russia is last, with one
lsspa4eh per 100 persons.

faults, foibles and weaknesses of human
nature. Only the record of great crimes
and shocking casualties found their way
into the newspapers The enterprise of
the daily newspaper press has changed all
this That the moral sense is now more
frequently shocked by unseemly details
of social or private vices than formerly,
proceeds more from the fact that these
details are SO generally published,
than from any probable. increase
of human depravity. 1t is
question whether public morality sany
gamer by this enlightenment. Is gen.
eral exposure of vice and detail of social
irregularities by the press fraught with
danger to public morals? Must we con-
ceal vice as means to avoid contagion?
The moral aspect Of the case presents
itself to us the same with reference to
newspaper as it does to an individual.
The journal who delights in dishing up
to its readers as frequently as possible a
mess of indecent scandal, oftentimes with
no foundation in truth, and never with
any good purpose in view, stands on the
same low level with the deprased wretch
who delights in relating his filthy jokes
in public bar-room, and is never hap
pier than when engaged in poisoning the
minds Of the young with his ribaldry.

A FILTER TO rUR1EY AHR.

At a recent meeting Of the New York
Academy of Useful Arts, attention was
called to a simple method Of fltering the
air of an apartment. The object is to free
the air from dust, excessive dampness, and,
possibly, from the germs of malaria. The
contrivance consists essentially of ia fbrous
woven fabric, strengthened by brass wire.
1t is to be applied to windows and ventila-
tors, and may be of service on railway
cars to exclude dust. 1t has the merit of
checking drafts while admitting air. It's
general use might tend to prevent the
spread of malarial diseases, and modify the
dangers that dirty streets occasion to the
health of city residents.

MR.. BRUCE, the colored United States
Senator from Mississippi, takes a very
sensible view of things pertaining to the
African race in America. He
is hopeful of a time when
there will be no farther race legislation
in Congress Or State Legislatures, and
that the word "colored' would be no
more repeated in the statute books of the
nation. Having been made citizens, and
virtually placed on the same plane with
the whites 50 far as the rights and priv
neges of citizenship are concerned, the
eolored man wants no farther legislation
of patronizing character. He has faith
in his people, that if left to make their
own way in the world their individual
talents and industry will very soon COM
mand for them both consideration and
safety. Senator Bruce supported Gen.
Burnside's bill to repeal the law creating
three exclusively colored regiments, and
providing for the general enlistment of
colored men and their distribution
throughout the entire army, upon the
same terms as white men. The example
of few such men as Senator Bruce,
either in or out of Congress, will do much
towards dispelling the prejudice against
his race.
