SUICIDE.
by r. Z. TEELD.

'Tis braver far 10 live than die,
To weep than have fearless eye,
A stoic's heart, locked up in steel
Which only for itself can feel.
The clod is light upon the breast
OF dead men in the dreamless rest,
Bat living hearts have tons Of woe,
Which God, and only God, can know.
"Tis not the sea, in wild unrest,
That mirrors stars upon its breast,
But depths majestic and profound
Bowled in by all the world around
The star-man Of the stalwart will
Holds waves of frantic passion still.
Life's bitter cup may brim with gall,
Yet lips heroic drink it all,
While loved ones have no weight Of care
Which, stopping. he forgets to share.
Erect and strong to fight the blast,
The sturdy oak Is rooted fast,
Tho from It's top TO bottom riven
By thunderbolts sent down from heaven
No place of peril is untrod
BY one whose panoply is GOd;-
The laurel wreath 10 him we give
Who suffers most, yet dares 10 live.
Fla, June, 1880.

The alarming popularity of
certain counterfeit bills on the
Exchange National Bank Of
Baltimore is that they differ from
the genuine article chiefly by
reason of artistic superiority.

Baked Bones and Oyster Shells,

An entertaining correspondent of the
AmtrlcW P0nL.rY Iari writes as follows:
3" supposed did my duty BY my hens
when | burnt bones TO ivory whitenesS,
ground them to the consistency of flour,
and fed them occasionally, with the idea
that was giving them egg.shells in very
available form. But | did not consider
that the Gelatinc, the ammonia, and other
constituents Of the bones which were dis

sent the Objectionable odors into outer
space. But you soon become reconciled To
this invasion of i'll scents when the fisry
combs, the cSaseess cackle, the evident
high health Of your fowls, and dailv.filled
egg-baskets show you what they have ac.
cOmplished. No other food, nor any
amount of food, if this is left out. will
give you such returns; and this baked
bone, pounded with a hammer on a rock
in your poultry pens and fed with ordinary
feed, will give results that ought to satisfy
the most craving disposition. The hens
cluster around that primitive bone-mll,
guiping down the rich moIscls with evident
delight; and, since everything necessary
for the production Of eggs is thus furnished,
there Is no undue strain on the vital to"ces,
no weakening Of the system, but daily
attention to business, to tho complete salts.
faction Of the fowls and their owners.
You can hardly give toe much burned
bones to your hens to provide the necessary
amount Of lime for the egg.shells, and the
next best thing for that purpose is oyster.

eagerly as they pick up the shelled corn.

thing else. :" do not quite believe in
giving broken earthenware, as some pro.
pose doing. The sharp corners are more
likely to cuter otherwise injure the crop
than the moro easily digested oyster.shells.
1t is very probable, also, that some Of the
constituents of the shells may be beneficial
to the hens in other ways than simply
furnishing ogg-shells, and it is possible that
they could find anything nourishing in
broken kitchen dishes"

1t is not too early to be laying out plans
for tho beautifying of gardens and lawns
for the coming Spring and Summer. The
warm weather will be with us before long
when good deal Of time will be spent in
tho open air, and little forethought now
will help in maturing designs later on in
the season. There is nothing adds to tho
beauty Of home so much as pleasant sur
roundines, and few feet in the front, side
or rear of house, set apart for the culture
of flowers, will give a good deal of solid en-.
joyment to all concerned. Start th9 season
with the dete; mination that your home
shall be as pleasant and attractive as that
of your nsighbor. 1t will cost but little,
and it will well repay any pains you may
take. A little generous rivalry of this kind
among neighbors works no harm to any
one, but adds health and happiness to all
concerned.

Dear Sir-Durins this year visited ne hundred

Habits of India Elephants.
From Land and Water.

There are four varieties of elephants
known in India.
They are designated "Kumria,"
"Doashla," "Mirga" and "Ekhara."
The mahouts call them by these
names. Besides these there are also
different names for male and female
elephats. Elephants are called "Makna,"
"Danthal," "Chakoonu." Female ele-
phants are known by the name of
"Bahina," "Sharin' and "Dhooi."
Bahina never gives birth to any young
ones. Sharin not given any young
ones. Dhooi is the mother elephant.
The male elephant above eight feet is
called "Goonda."
Elephants are found of three different
colors, viz: white, black and little
reddish.
"Kumria" variety becomes very fat,
and can labor hard. They are slower
than Doashla and Mirga. These two
varieties can 60 swifter than other ele-
plants. Ekhara is the slowest. The
feet and skin of 'Kumria" are very
thick; those of "Doashla" are COM
paratively thinner; ''Sharin" elephants
are the smallest OF al and weak.
1t has been heard that elephants live
100 years. 1t has also been seen and
heard that elephants live 100 years.
They can work up to &C years, after
which they do light work.
We have seen q female elephant
named Mongul Peary in the Cooch
Behar Raj. Her exact age is not known,
but from circumstantlal evidence heI
age seems to exceed 100 years. She
died lately, not from any disease, but
from good old age. A few days before
her death she could not eat any hard
substances. She could not eat even
paddy. Boiled rice was given to her.

Horrible Tragedy.
OTTAWA, Ont, Telegram Jan

A fearful tragedy was brought to light
here last night. 1t appears that a man
named Sabourin went to his home III
the suburbs OF the city on Wednesday
night, in a drunken condition. He
quarreled with his wife. who says she
was also under the Influence of liquor.
According to the woman's story after
her husband struck her she seized an
axe and returned the blow, forgetting,
in the heat of passion, the terrible weap-
on she was using. Needless of the APP
peals of her terrified children, who
chung about her, the infuriated woman
dealt a second blow, under which her
unfortunate husband fell at her feet with
two frightful gashes in the back of the
head. Then, realizing the character of
her horrible work, she, with the assist
ance Of her little children dragged her
husband to bed. Fearing the conse-
queDce of her dreadful crime she did
not call doctor nor make the deed
known, and the unfortunate man lay in
agony until yesterday morning, when
he became rapidly worse. and it WAS
not until last night, she having doubtless
become thoroughly alarmed, that med
ical assistance was sent for. 1t came
too late, for the doctor pronounced il q
fatal case, the man being in an ex-
hausted state. The woman was imme-
diately arrested and lodged in Jail. Sa-
bourin and his wife have not lived hap
PLY together for years past, both being
of very Incorporate habits. Mrs. Sa-
bourin is fine-loooking woman, about
forty-five years Of age. She appeared
to take the matter very coolly, evident
ly considering that her intoxicated con-
dition at the time of the tragedy re-
moves a great part Of her responsibility.
Sabourin is still alive, but rapidly sink
ing, and his death is momentarily ex-
pected.

once sentenced to death for the murder
of Mrs. Smiths husband, in Jersey City,
we're set free to-day, the jury, in their
trial, bringing in verdict OF not guilty.
The circumstantial evidence was strong
against them, but few people have be-
lieved that Itjustifed hanging them.
The prisoners have been in confine-
ment some twenty months, and their
case has excited much interest through
out the country. The charge of Judge
Knapp this mornig was very favorable
to the defendants, and probably secured
their acquittal. When the verdict was
annouced Mrs. Smith fell sobbing to her
chair, and the color rushed into the
white face of Bennett, whose anxiety
had been very noticeable. After their
discharge the prisoners held sort of a
reception in the jail. where great
crowd Of friends pressed around them
with congratulations. Mrs. Smith says

law in Hudson City. Bennett an
nounces his intention ofreturning to the
stage. 1t is reported that after some
time has elapsed they will probably be
united in marriage.
