There is nothing peculiar about the history
of the parents, and investigation fails to
reveal any ties of consanguinity existing
between them The mother is thirty-slx

children, seven Of whom have been blessed

take advantage of the suns heat TO the

Two Drinks thnt Morning.

Tom Gains was what you call a swift
witness. When Tom was for fellow he
was for him all over, and he was so friendly
and confiding the Judge didn't know
what to do with him. Last court Lawyer
Branham put Tom upon The stand to prove
that drinking man couldn't re-
member what he did when he was drunk.
Ihom had taken about two drains that
morning and was feeling splendid. lie
sworc straight out that he couldn't.
The Judge didn't like that. lie didn't
like witnesses who were so willing and
familiar, and so he put few questions to
Tom from the bench.
"Alr. Gains, weren't you drunk ycstcr-
day. [Sunday."]
"lhey say l was, your Honor"
And you don't remember it ?''
''lt's sorter like a dream, your Honor ::
but 90 remember was awfully sick last
night"
GLOW are you now, Mr. Gains2"
81 am tolablc well, thank you Judge,
how do you do, yourself? ?" and Tom bowed
humbly, for he thought the Judge was
kindly inquirng after his health.
When the Sheriff had quoted the general
hilarity, the Judge said: 'Mr. Gains, YOU
were drunk yesterday, which was Sunday.
Now, where did you find your whisky"
"ln the jug. Judgc,-right in the Jug"
"Wcll, sir, where was the jug2"
"Undcr the fodder stack, Judge; al
ways keep it there, or in tho shuck pen;
and, If your Honor ever passes that way,
it's free thing TO-"
"Alr Gains, you can retire, sir. be-
llcvc you are the same man who about
thirty years ago testified in this court house
that Jim Wilkins bit his own car Off
'Fhcy say did, Judge, but you know
l was drunk, and of course don't rcmcm-
Der it. You was defcndin' Jack Boozcr for
biting Jim Wilkins ear, and you told me
that in the scrimmagc Jack showed jim up
agin the sharp edge Of the door cut il Off;
but you see, judge got drunk and forgot
what you told me, and I 'spose | did
swear that Wilkins bit his car off himself
and 1t wasn't 30 unreasonable n0how, for
he had the awfulest mouth that ever was

About Tho uso of Firo.

According to Plny, fire was for q long
time unknown to the Egyptians; and when
Thalcs, the celebrated astronomer, showed
It to them, they were absolutely in rapture.
Tho Persians, PhDnicians Greeks and
several other nations, acknowledge that
their ancestors were without tho use of
fire, and the Chinese confess the samo of
their progcnitors. Plutarch and other an
clcnt writer's speak of nations who, at the
time they wrote, know not of the use of
fire or had just learned it. Facts of tho
same kind arc also attestcd by several mod
ern nations. The inhabitants of tho
Marian Island, which were discovered In
1861, had no idea of fire. Never was as
tonishmcnt greater than theirs when they
saw 1t on the desert Magellan in one of
their islands. AT first they believed it was
