What George Didn't Know.

We don't like to be irreverent, but would
like to ask what did our forefathers know?
What, for instance, did George Washing
ton know? He never saw a steam boat !;
he never saw q fast mail train, he never held
his ear to a telephones; he never sat for his
picture in photograph gallery he never
received a telegraphic dispatch; he never
sighted Krupp gum he never listened to
the "tizz" of an electric per; he never saw
n pretty girl run sewing machine; he
never saw selfpropelling engine 90 down
the street to fire; he never heard of evolu
ton; he never took laughing gas; he never
had n set of store teeth; lie never attended
an international exposition he never
owned a bonanza mine he never knew
cold Prob he--but why 90 on? No :;
when he took an excursion it was on
flat boat. When he went off on a train it
was mule train. When he wanted to
talk to man in Milwaukee he had to go
there. When he wanted his picture taken
it was done in profile with piece of
black paper and a pair of shears. When
he got the returns from back counties
they had to be brought in by man with
an OK cart. When he took aim at the
enemy lie had to trust to a crooked old
tlint-lOCk. When he wrote it was with q
goose-quill. When he had anything to
mend his grand mother did it with darn
ing-neede When he went to fire he
stood in line and passed buckets. When
he looked at Il clam he never dreamed it
was any relation of his. When he went to
Il concert he heard cracked fiddle and an
insane clarionet When he had a tooth
pulled he sat down and never stopped yell
ing. When he got out ofteeth he gummed
his victuals. When he wanted an inter
national show he sent for Lafayette and
ordered his friend up from Old Virginia
with the specimen carefully labeled in bot
ties. When he orcc got hold of a mug.
get fgold from an Indian chiefhe felt rich.
When he wanted to know anything about
the weather he consulted the grounding or
the goose ne altimOrean.

An amusing story is told of the way a
juror in Georgia went for conviction
A murder case was being tried and great
difficulty was experienced in getting jury.
Eleven jurors had been sworn in, and in the
next panel that was brought in was a small,
lank, lean, cadaverous looking fellow who
had on one shoe, his pants were nearly above
his knees, his shirt open both front and back,
and the aforesaid pants were held up by a
single suspender. The solicitor proceeded
to ask the usual questions in such cases as
follows:
"Have you, from having seen the crime
committed, or heard any of the testimony
delivered under oath, formed and expressed
any opinion as to the guilt or innocence of
the prisoner at the bar 2"
The "simple gallus" fellow, in a clear and
distinct voice, answered:
mot any,"
Second question Have you any prejudice
or bias resting on your mind for or against
the prisoner at the bar ?
Answer hain't.
Third question-Is your mind perfectly
impartial between the State and the accus.
cd
Answcr-Hit air.
Fourth question Are you conscientious
ly opposed to capital punishment
Answcr-I isn't.
The State didn't like the juror much, but
it being late and jurors scarce, he was put
upon the jury in the usual manner, the So
licitor says: "Juror, look upon the prison
en-" and when the command was given he
bent over scanning him from head to foot
The juror looked the prisoner firmly in the
face, and then turning to the judge, said
in firm, solemn voice, eyes, Judge, think
he's guilty"

In storing potatoes for seed or culinary
purposes, the main object in view is to
prevent their termination, so that it NAV
not be necessary to pick out the budding
eyes, process which invariably induces a
rapid deterioration in quality and strength.
To prevent this, the store places should he
wholesome, dry and freely ventilated. In
extremely cold weather the temperature
must be raised by artificial means, but an
excess OF warmth is to be carefully guard
ed against it is sufficient to keep the TEN
perature just above the freezing point, the
arrival of which may be proved, in the alb
sence of thermometer, by the appearance
of ice on shallow pan Of water purposely
kept in the store-place. These measures
suffice in the case of potatoes intended for
planting out, but where they are required
for domestic consumption the further pre-.
caution must be taken of shielding them
from the action of light. If this be not
done the tubers are apt to turn green, a
change which is nothing to their detri-
ment for seeding purposes, but which is
attended by chemical alterations that
give them bitter taste,and quite spoils
them for domestic use.

Winter Treatment of Cattle,

The cows from the time they are taken
from the pasture in the autumn, should be
fed twice day with cut hay mixed with
about four quarts of wheat-bran for each
COW per day. The cows are watered twice
a day, and in pleasant weather are permit
ted to bask in the sun in the middle of the
day. Fattening cattle in winter upon hay
alone is resort of many farmers, and
where hay is plenty and distant from mar
ket the practice is not inconsistent with
economy. If well attended, good animals
consuming four per cent. of their live
weight of good hay daily, will gain daily
two pounds of flesh. Surprising the flesh
gained to be worth sixteen cents it will be
equal to So the ton for hay. The better
practice, however, is to give only three per
cent. OF the live weight of the animal in
hay daily, and an equivalent for the other
one per cent. in Indian meal or roots The
gain would be greater for the same cost of
food. Feeding mich COWS to obtain the
largest profit, turn them in summer into
good grass In winter l feed steamed hay
with one quart of Indian meal, and one
quart of oil meal, morning and evening;
soak the oil meal in cold water half an
hour then add your corn meal with warm
water, making about six quarts for each
COW. This is the best feed have found.

The Alligator.

All of our alligators, as well as the croco-
diles, are oviparous. They are gregarious
in their habits, although they do not seem
to act in concert in obtaining their prey
During the winter season the alligators re-
main in state of torpor, buried generally
in the mud of the marshes and bayous.-
The first warm weather restores their sus-
pended vitality, and few may then be
seen summing themselves on logs and other
floating debris.
They fish principally during the night,
and lie in the sunshine half asleep on the
surface of the water during the day. A
splash in the water or any slight noise in
fact will instantly arouse their attention,
aud as their curiosity is great they will
slowly swim here and there to ascertain the
cause of the disturbance.
The whine of puppy seems to excite
them more than aught else; why, cannot
tell, for it is equally efficacious where dogs
have never previously been and where it
were impossible to suppose the alligators
had ever heard them. The resemblance to
the noise or bark of their young has been
said to be the cause but such reasoning
is fallacous, as at seasons when their young
no longer bark, they are equally attracted
by whine.
Their terocity and other dangerous quail
tiles have been very greatly overrated and
exaggerated. That they are extremely vo.
racious is questionable; but they gener.
ally confine their ravages to fish and Other
small prey. The narrowing tales of fami.
lies being dcvoured by them are the " yer.
est coinage of the BRAIN" and have in
reality no existence whatsoever

"Speed the PlOtU.o
Breeding Poultry i'm Winter.

DR.. George B. Loring is credited with
the following sensible and seasonable sup-
geston on this subject:
To promote laying in the winter season,
an abundance of warm, stimulating food
should be furnished in good variety. The
fowls should have constant access to gra-
vel, to promote digestion to fine sand, in
which to cleanse themselves and remove
lice, and to old mortar, lime, pulverized
oyster or clam shells, ground bone or chalk
to furnish the material which aids in the
formation of egg-shells. These things are
kept in boxes if necessary. Water should
be always handy, for fowls frequently suf-
fer from the want of it. If it can be so
managed in winter that the fowls shall not
dip their gills in it, those parts may be
saved from freezing while wet. The lack
of clean fresh water, in connection with
too constant feeding on grain, causes cos
tiveness, and in such cases water, warm
vegetables and meat may be given as cor
receives. To promote good laying there
must be careful feeding, amounting almost
to Nursing of the flock. Hens lay a larger
number of eggs during the first two years
than ever afterward, and from the second
year steadily decline. Cocks reach their
greatest vigor in their second year, and
careful breeders change their male birds
every season, the time of moulting being
chosen to separate the old one and intro
duce the new corners. The crop and sto-
mach of the poultry are so formed that it
will answer to feed them once, twice, or
three times day; but it is better to keep
food before them all the time. They
should at all events have chance to fill
their crops before going to roost for the
night.

SEED WHEAT.-"Any man." says j. B.
Kellebrew, "who will establish in his gar
den an experimental plot, can select the
best heads of the most prolific wheat, SOW
ing the next year the best heads alone, and
still selecting from this the best heads, u.s.
ing the balance for field use, and in this
manner keeping always one year ahead
This will make good seed. A practice
that has resulted in a largely increased
production has prevailed in some sections,
and merits special mention:
"'Select few bundles and strike them
over the head of barrel lightly. The
heaviest, best matured grain will fall out
leaving those not fully ripe in the bundle.
A few minutes will suffice to secure, in
this manner, seed that will improve the
ordinary yield very largely. This proves
the necessity OF seed wheat being allowed
to get fully ripe before cutting"

German Law.

A curious work, on "The Humorous Ele-
ment in German Law" by O. Gieske, has
been published in Berlin. The author de-
scribes the punshments which were inflict-
ed in the various parts Of Germany, in
some cases up to very recent period, with
the object of humiiating the culprit, and
exposing him to public ridicule.
A common punishment was that of going
in procession through the streets of town
or village in a dress covered with images
of swords, whips, rods, and other instru-
ments of corporal chastisement.
In llesse women who had beaten their
husbands were made to ride backward on
donkey, holding his TAIL on which occa-
sons the animal was led through the streets
by her husband. This custom existed in
Darmstadt up to the middle of the seventh
century and was so common that a donkey
was kept always ready for the purpose in the
capital and the neighboring villages. If
the woman struck her husband in such n
manner that he could not ward off the
blow, the donkey was led by man who
has charge of him if not then by the hus-
bind himself
At st. Goar miller was allowed a GER
tain quantity of wood from the forest be-
longing to the town, in return for which he
was bound to supply donkey to the NUM-
cipality whenever required for the chas-
tisement of a scolding wife.
Another very old custom was that of
Furnishing henpecked husband by remov-
ing the roof OF his house, on the ground
that "a man who allows his wife to rule at
home does not deserve any protection
against wind and weather"
If two women fought in public, they
were each put in u sort of closed sentry
box, which only left their heads exposed,
and then posted opposite each other in the
market-place, where they remained for an
hour, face to face, but unable to use their
hands or feet.
A common punishment for scolding
women was the shameful stone" which
was hung around their necks. This stone
was usually in the shape of bottle.
At Hamburg libellers and slanderers
were compelled to stand on a block and
strike themselves three times in the mouth
as a sign of repentance. This custom still
existed thirty or forty years ago. In some
towns the shameful stone" was in the shape
of loaf, whence the German saying, GA
heavy bit of bread" At Lubbock it was in
the shape of an oval dish and in other
places in that ola woman putting out her
tongue. Such stones was very heavy 4;
according to the law of Dortmund and
Halberstadt Q34S), they were to weigh
hundred weight. Those who were wealthy
could purchase exemption from this pun
ishment with bagful Of hops tied with a
red ribbon.
