HOW TO Eat a Watermelon.

There are many ways OF eating
melons, sll of which are coed, but
come better than others. The primi-
tive way, still ardently pursued by
small boys of all colors, is to get into
somebody else's patch and ''bust"
one open, and then ard there bury
the countenance in it. Another way
is to cut it IN two parts, give your
nelghbor one half and spoon, and
make similar provision for yourself.
this is called an Eastern Sho' dia-
logue. A great deal of substantial
counting can be done in this way.
The hotel plan OF cutting it like
tulip and putting lump of ice inside.
is the worst way. Ice should not
touch the pulp. The best way ia to
bury it in the ice for two days. It
takes fully that time to get all the
heat out OF it. Then cut it length
wise into about four pieces, and eat it
at night-thst and nothing else.
WRtermelons are uuwholesome, how
ever, if plncked too green, or if much
over-ripe. Come unfortunate people
are unable 10 eat them at all. But
the happy average man can place
himself on the outside OF half water
melon without any gastric disturb
bsnce. People, however, deal un-
justly with this fruit sometimes by
eating a hearty dinner first, and then
topping of with a melon. and then if
q moral earthquake sets up in the in
terror. they charge it to the melon.
But this is clearly unjust. The water
melon should be taken between
meals. It was intended as an cpl
sode-an interlude-a romance with
out words-a nocturne in green and
red-not to be mingled with bacon and
green's. It's indulgence leaves q GER
tain epigastral expansion, but this is
painless and vanescent-take an
other slice..

Old and New Creeds.

A man may have given CD his
belief in Christianity after long
solemn and painful thought; he may
have felt constrained TO tear himself
away from the faith of parents and
friends and childhood. and the panps
may have been like the tearing away
q piece of ones life. But such a
man is not likely to remain In .
creedless condition. His sincerity
and intensity will never let him rest
until be has found some little ground
on which he may stand, something
on which e shelter may be raised t.,
take the place OF the torssken home.
He may come to have q poor creed,
an imperfect creed, 10 many respects
a mistaken creed. but he will still
have creed. and so be saved from a
spiritual death of frivolous skeptic-

days there are so many Who, while

THE CODE.

The mutilation of the Code OF
Georgia by every Legislature has
necessitated the building of new
Code. The dead matter contained
in its pages but cOnfases and cOn>
POUNDS, and still the Legislators
continue to tamper with it until now
is lies bleeding, maugled aud per-
forated, until a thousand pus cavi'
ties have poisoned its system render
ing it hopelessly an invalid. These
legal doctors have cut and prObed it.,
until all the revivifying waters and
sea breezes of Long Branch would
not restore it to healthy condition.
1t needs to have some of the attend
ing doctors discharged and it placed
in competent hands for revision so
that it may become comprehensive
and Ineligible. As it now is, it is a
cumbrous mass of uncertainties.

as follows:
"That he have bis flesh torn with
not pincers and the wounds filled
with melted lead, boiling oil. etc /; to
have bic right hand, holding the
regicidal knife, burned in q fire Of
sulphur; to be afserward torn to
pieces alive by four horses; to have
his members reduced to ashes and
the ashes thrown to the winds. p
The same decree ordered that the
house ia which he was born be de-
molisheG; that his father and bis
mother leave the kingdom 10 fifteen
days, With orders no. to return, under
penalty of being hung aud strangled;
aud finally, that bis brothers, sisters,
uncles, ETC.. give up the name OF
Ravaillau and take another, under
pain of the same penalties. In the
process verbal Of the execution the
people wished to associate the ir ven

laws; several commenced TO pull the
cords with such energy that one oil
the nobility, who was near by, bad

the people Of all ranks threw them

A WHALE.

A whale recently was stranded on
an outlying point Of the island Of
Walls, Orkney. Men, women, and
children rushed to the spot with
knives, pitchforks, and more prim
tive weapons, and cut the monster
10 fearful manner, until it WAS sup
posed that life was extinct. Ropes
were afterward procured and fasten
ed to the whale, and boats were pro-
ceeding to tow it into hsrbor. With
the rising tide the whale Aoated, but
as the boats were being rowed away
in triumph with the prize, the whale
suddenly took fresh lease Of life
and started sesward, in turn towing
the boats. 1t was only after being
dragged over three miles that the
men succeeded 10 cutting the ropes
aud saving their boats from being
swamped.

NO NEW EXAMPLE.

Tho example Of Mrs. Garfield
has taught American women q great
er lesson than whole generation Of
preachers and female reformers could
ever do.-SaUannah Times.
The JOURNAL would not unders
rate the wifely conduct of Mrs.
Garfield in the nobility of her devo.

certainly we see nothing new in "her
example," In the history Of thou-
sands of lives the same example OF
devotion was practiced and exempt
fed before Mrs. Garfield bad hus,

which every truly noble wife is ca

that divine attribute hows those feel

exhalts and ennobles her. Unnatu-
raj and unwifely, indeed, would il
have been for Mrs. Garfield to have
done less for her wounded husband
than she has, when his life seemed
to be Pickering between time and
eternity. II is, indeed, under such
trying circumstances that woman
shows a strength Of character and
beauty Of holiness that challenges

constant, pure love that is the test
of virtue and unshaken devotion.
AS tender as a flower, and as sweet
as its perfume, she is q foe to adver

Her mission is not to lead armies or
