cause, we saw one of the bamboo ratings
torn from its fastenings and light figure
fill the opening and leap lightly to Q the
ground. 1t was Numah, a nautch girl,
whom the king had just bought from the
dishonest nautch wallah, with whom she
had agreed to dance for certain time.
Her home, her lover, were now lost to her
forever, and she sought to save the poor
mans life at the cost Of her own.
The king saw her as soon as any of us,
and an expression of terror crossed his
face, but Immediately gave way to tero-
cious satisfaction.
1T is well done, Numah,' shouted he.
''Go and tell the admec- kanawallah your
sorrows and your wrongs. He will con-
sole you" NJ
The hautch girl turned and raised her
eyes to the royal gallery.
"Death will comfort me, o king" said
she, salaaming low, with the supple grace
inseperable from her every movement.
then she walked firmly and fearlesslv to-
ward the man-eater, who watched intent
ly her approach, and with neck and
tremulous nostrils seemed to question
her intentions.
Arrived within arms length of him
Numah sank upon her knees, crossing
her arms and oowing her head as IN sub
mission to her fate.
~ silence like death reigned through
out the place, broken at last by the graf
ing sound of the horses hooGs, as cauti-
ously moving them, he approached her
step by step, and finally stood directly
over her, his head grazing her shoulder,
While nostril, eye and ear were evidently
alert to satisfy the mind of their master.
g Ma halla! he will not hurt her." ex-
claimed the king; and indeed the man
eater had no intentions of so doing, for
ne was now resting his chin on the girls
| shoulder, and whinnying with satisfac-
ton.
Numah, more surprised than any one,
raised her head, looked in the eyes of the
animal, rose cautiously to her feet, and
laid her hand upon his name. The man
eater whinnied again and rubbed his
head against her shoulder.
An irrepressible burst of applause filled
the royal gallery, raised by the European
spectators. After an 1nstant's hesitation
it was joined by the king.
"Shavash, Numah! Bravo, grip
shouted he, clapping his hands. ''You
have conquered the conqueror of Burrhea
and shall be rewarded. Nawah, see that
Numah receives five thousand rupees and
is sent back safe to her home with the

EPISODE OF THE RUSSO-TURKISH WAR.

In his wind-shaken tent the soldier sits,
Beside him flares an oil-lamp smokily,
Whose dim light glooms and fickers on the

And heart, intent he reads. Now with smile
The laXen-bearded, sunburnt face lights up
A smile that in the smiling breeds a pain

That those sweet, loving words hath traced,

With wild intensity, the page that hand

Where largely sprawl big letters helplessly:
What do they say, those baby characters,
So fccby huge?

When will you come home again?

As he reads this the tent to him grows darker,
His strong hand trembles, and the hot tears
burn

What TO do With the Weeds.


W. II. white in Country gentIsnAn.
So long as we feed weeds 10 our
stock, grow weeds on our farms, or
suffer them to mature their seeds by
the wayside, and generally to scatter
their seeds, and then apply fresh
stable and yard manure, just so long
will we have plenty of weeds to con-
tend with, and this probably will be
so long as the world stands and soil
culture continues. Fight weeds as
we may, in my opinion the time will
never came when we shall be entirely
free from them. IL would be bet
ter to invent a practical use for them /;
gather them before they so far ma
ture as TO ripen their seeds, and re-
ducc them TO mold, or TO some other
useful form.

WE hear, from various quarters,

and we advise early and frequent APP
plications of the only proven anti

We frequently see, in our ex.
changes, articles entitled "breaking

some other tune substituted for it,.
Colts should never be "brokcn." If
properly trained, from their earliest
colthood, they will never need break
ing. Begin to halter.break them at
ten days or two weeks old, and handle
them daily from that time on, and by
the time they are able to do any
work they will know all about it,
without any "brcaking."

Now we have the sheep sheared
and soon the wool.gatherer will make
his appearance, and pay just as much
per pound for a half.washed, water
soaked fleece, which was sheared with
in three days after the pretended
washing, and has been kept tightly
rolled up in the cellar ever since, as
he will for one that was thoroughly
washed, cleaned from all foreign mat
ter and has all the water dried out of
it. So long as the wool-buyer offers
a premium for half-washed fleeces, or
for those which, after having been
properly washed, were allowed to re-
main on the sheep until the normal
amount of grease had been restored,
just so long will these questionable
practices prevail, and the honest
wool-grower have his labor for his
pains. Wool will, as rule, be made
as light as possible and its subse.
quent manipulation attended TO with
the most rigid oversight whenever
the markets show a premium upon
such observances; but until that time
very little change from the present
practice need be looked for.
