Origin Of the Plow.

In u paper on the origin Of the Plow.
DIR. Taylor states that the first agricul-
tural implement seems 20 have been II
pointed stick four or five ioct long, such
Us many savages still carry for the pur-
pose Of digging roots, Knocking down
fruit aud uncarthing animals. At q
later day the stick was bent and used as
u Doe, the point being hardened by fire.
In the Southern part Of Sweden large
tracts Of land give evidence Of carly cnl-
tivatiou, which is attributed to pre-
historic people, called by tho natives
"the hackers who are always associa-
ted with the giants of mythology, and
whose rude hoe, a fir pole with short
projecting branch. There came into
usc afterwards larger instrument of
the same kind, which was not used like
the hoe, but dragged by men or oxen.
Instances of this arc to be found in old
Egyptian pictures and bas-relicfs, and it
was probably in tho primitive idea of
the plow, which is of prehistoric origin,
evidences being found Of its early uso
among the Greeks, Egyptians and Chi
nese. 1t had from the earliest times II
religious sanction. The next improve.
ment was a wooden hook shOd with
iron; and in tho time Of Virgil a wheel
cd plow was in use which differed but
little from tho best In Europe CEN
fury ago.

A Valuble Corset Story.

A man always gets into scrapc when
he pokcs around among his wife's things
without permission. Mr.. Dnrrie, Of
Jersey City, had been annoyed by hay
ing his wife sell his clothes to peddlers,
called in hor absence, that he would
reciprocate; 10 no traded lot Of her
old garments Oft for tinwarc and plaster
images, and among other things u pair
of haif.worn corsets. He rubbed his
hands in silent enjoyment over the joke.
But when his wife returned and was
informed of the transaction she rushed
upstairs to sec what was gone, and, not
finding the cOrsets, exclaimed:
"John Henry, you didn't sell them
Corscts p
"Oh, yes he replied. 81 found a
disrepntable, old pair and lot them Co."
The wife burst into tears, and, between
sobs, explained that, in order to hide
from burglars tho SllOO le had entrusted
to her for safe keeping, sho had sewod
tho money up in those cmsets. John

A Young Lover Caught.

A case similar to that Of Sampson and
Della, showing tho power and influence
Of the designing woman and unsuspcct-
ing and con6ding youth, is developed
in tho case of DR.. Talbot who was mys-
teriously murdered at Marysyille, Mo.
Some members ofthe family suspicioned
his own son Albert rs the murderer, %
it was known that he was very impa-
tient to get his portion Of his fathers
estate, but in the absence of proof, no
one would mako the accusation. A de-
tective was hired and put on the track
of young Albert Talbot. The detective,
knowing tho weakness and susceptible
ity Of young mans heart when tender
woman pleads, determined to use his
pretty and attractive young wife in the
scheme. Accordingly he rented house
close by and went there to live, pre-
tending to be farmer. He introduced
his young wife as his sister, and instruc-
ted her in his plans and designs, and set
her to work to win young Alberts af-
fections. This she quickly accomplished
in way which only a pretty one knows.
Albert popped the question and she pro-
missed to marry him within month.
Being engaged, she felt free to talk to
him about the murder of his father, and
she began to inculpate him, and soon he
made full confession Of his guilt to
her. He was arrested, and thus the
courtship ended and the engagement
was broken, while he in prison moralizes
upon the deceitfulness of woman.

The Monkey and the Hawk.

The cook of French noblcman, whose
chateau was in southern France, had mon
key which was allowed free range of the
kitchen, and which was so intelligent that by
severe training its natural propensity to mis-
chief had been subdued and it was even
taught to perform certain useful services, such
rs plucking fowls, for instance, at which it
was uncommonly expert. One morning
pair of cartridges was given it to pluck. The
monkey took them to an open window which
looked directly upon the park and went to
work with great diligence. He soon finished
one, which he laid on the outer ledge of the
window, and then went quietly to work on
the other. A hawk which had been watch
ing his proceedings from a neighboring tree
darted down upon the partridge, and in
minute was in the tree again, greedily de-
vouring his prey. The CONSERVATION of the
monkey at this untoward adventure may be
easily imagined. He knew he would be Sc
verely whipped for losing it, He hoped
about in great distress for several minutes
when suddenly bright thought struck him.
Selling the remaining partridge, he went to
work with energy and stripped off the feath-
ers. He then placed it on the window sill,
and closing one of the shutters concealed
himself behind it. The hawk, which by this
time had finished his meal, very soon swoop-
cd down upon the partridge; but hardly had
his claws touched the bird when the monkey
sprang upon him from behind the shutter.
The hawks head was instantly wrung, and
the monkey, with triumphant chuckle pro-
ceeded to strip off the feathers. This done,
he carried the two picked fowls to his mas
ter, with confident and selfsatstied air,
which seemed to say, Here are two birds,
sir, just what you gave me-" What the cook

To MoTnERs.-A good mother should be
firm, gentle, kind; always ready to attend to
her child. She should never laugh at him at
what he does that is cunning; never allow him
to think of his looks, except to be neat and
clean in his habits She should teach him to
obey u look, to respect those older than him
self; and above ALL to love, honor and revcr-
cnce God. She should never make command
without seeing that it is performed in the right
manner. Never speak of child's faults or
foibles, or repeat his remarks, before him 1t
is sure way TO spoil child. Never reprove
II child when excited, nor let your tone OF
voice be raised when correcting him. Strive
to inspire love, not dread-respect, not fear.
Remember you are educating and training a
soul for eternity, ...tf.

THE ANTS AND THE GRAssHoppEn:
is PuBLIsHEpEvERY FRIDAY /

THE ANTS AND THE GRASSHOPPER.
Every one kens that the ants are clan
Neel worthy the notice o. woman and man,
Prudent, and busy, and striving;
H. Is naething they ken o good or bad til.as,
Ihcy re always ut work il the sun only shines,
AZ work, and sure TO be thriving.
One bright afternoon in the fall of the year,
rich little colony thought it was clear
. That some of their wheat was spoiling
So they carried it out in the sun to air,
llka one chccrfuly bearing his share
In a the trouble and toillng.
Then poor little grasshopper saw the wheat,
For, hungry and cold, he was longing to eat;
Sac, gracefully forward snfnging,
lie said, SISTER Ants, am sorry to say
| hae been too busy for many n day,
Too busy, dancing and singing,
" To max any storage o barley or grass;
And now, declare, am starving. Alas
;, pray you on me to take pity.
For months have sung with the best in the land.
And played in the Queen o the Butterflies band,
Been graceful, and gay, and witty.
" Besides, as you see, haze only two feet,
While you ants have each six, to go gather wheat,
And sac, think, as good neghbors,
Sou will say, I've right to somebody's care
And with your poor brother deightedly share
Inc fruits o your summers lnbors."
Then answered the chief o the Ants, in disdain :
" think Master GrasshOpper should ma complain,
The harvest he sowed he is reaping:
If work-a-day hours are all spent in song
In playing and dancing, it Gamma be long
Ere poverty comes, and weeping.
THE Ants are but plain working folk a their
days,
They dinna approve o your songs, or your ways,
Your dancing, drumming, and springing;
An if your fine friends will ma help you along,
There's naething to do but Just ddnc6 10 The song
1hW all summer M,Ough H0u0e been Singing."

Raising Calves by Hand.

An English Shorthorn breeder presents his
experience upon this subject, which will be
OF value to those who require all the milk
attainable for the supply of the market
81 am strong advocate of hand-raised
calves Indeed, believe it to be the only pro.
per way to raise a calf To be sure, it Is not
natures way, but we have made some ad-
vancement. In the native state the cow
gives milk enough to raise her calf, and no
more, and dries off in four or five months
Some ofour improved breeds give enough to
raise four or five calves per year, and other
breeds do not give enough for one.
81 raise all my calves, even thorOughbreds,
by hand, and principally on skim milk; and
j think that when one year old they will
compare favorably with calves that have run
with the COW. AS result of such raising,
| sell one-half my milk and the cream from
the other half
"The principal argument in favor of letting
calves suck is that it saves labor. | admit
that when the cows and calves are turned
out together, allowing the calf to take what
he wants when he chooses there is saving
ioflabor; but this practice is ruinous alike to
COWS and calves. Any COW of good milking
qualities will give more milk than the calf
can take for two months at least. The cows
bag is liable to be ruined, and she is injured
as mixer; after the calf takes the
milk her bag, being sucked out frequently is
not allowed to distend, and she receives an
other injury, which, if heifer, is ruinous to
her milking qualities. The COW and calf be-
come so attached to each other that wean-
ing becomes very difficult, and sometimes
impossible. The calf at weaving time fire.
uuently receives q backset from which he
never RECEIVERS.

THE SWINGING ROCK.

have often been on the Kings and Queens
Seats, and many q time have had hold of the
large rock which was so nicely balanced on
another rock that three or four of us little BOYS
could move it las much as all the men who
could get hold of it. There were some small
projections or points on the rock which would
let it go so far and no farther. Inever knew
who removed it from its base, but understood
it was done by first knocking off those points
After that was accomplished it was easily
rolled off into the abyss below.
