One very serious error in the use
Of manures grows out of the idea that
is very prevalent, that if we only de-
liver it upon the land the crops are
sure to get the full benefit of it, This
is a serious mistake. All plant-food
must be reduced either TO liquid or
gaseous form before plants can appro-
pirate it TO their use; If this is con.
stantly kept in mind, it will be much
easier to understand why fine and
well.compos'ed manure is better than
coarse; why il is sometimes better 10
use it in one way and sometimes in
another; why it is better to have it
entirely distributed over or in the
ground than TO have it in heaps of
from a half 10 whole forkfull in a
place.

Mrs. Anna Etheridge.

No history of Michigan in the war
would be complete that did not contain
some mention of the noble services per-
formed by Mrs. Anna Etheridge, of De-
troit. She was born in Detroit, May 3,
1874. Her maiden name was Blair.
In May, 1861, she, in company with
nineteen other ladies, volunteered as
nurses to accompany the Second Michi-
gan infantry, under command of Col.
Richardson. All the others soon re.
turned, finding the hardships of field
service too great for their powers of en-
duronce. She alone remained and served
until the close of the war.
When the Second infantry was or
dered TO the Western Department, she
remained and was attached to the head
quarters of the Third brigade, First
division, Third corps, until the death OF
its lamented commander, Gen. Berry,
at Charlottesville, May ., 1863. She
then joined her fortunes to those of the
Third Michigan infantry, remaining
until the consolidation of that regiment
with the Fifth Michigan, and with the
consolidated organization until its final
muster out at Detroit, July /, 1865.
During these four years she was in
every battle in which the Army of the
Potomac was engaged, except those OF
South Mountain and Antietam, where
the division in which she belonged was
temporarily detached from the army and
left in front of Washington.
Her work was in the field hospitals

At Plymouth, England, the ruins OF
an old castle are still to be seen. 1t was
built upon very high rock, the narrow
ledge OF which runs out beyond the
walls. Two goats used to feed upon the
grass and weeds that grew among the
ruins. One OF them got upon the ledge,
which was only wide enough for the
small feet of goat to walk upon. Ii
went on until it came to sharp point,
and was then obliged to turn back again.
Just then it was met by the other goat,
and at that place there was no room foi
them to pass each other or to turn
around. The one that did so must fail
and be dashed to pieces on rocks below.
The goats felt their danger, and made
loud cries of distress. Many people
heard them and ran to see what was the
matter. None could give the least help.
The goats stood face to face for long
time. At last one was seen to kneel and
crouch down as close as it could lie upon
the ledge, and the other walked over
him. The goat that had lain down got
up again and went on to the place
where his friend had found room to turn
around. 1t did the same, and thus both
were saved.

The LapIander.

The Laplander's sledge has no run
ners, but, like himself, it is covered with
reindeer skin, and is in shape like a Ca
noe. Harnessed to this sledge, the rein
deer starts off with almost the rapidity
of the steam-engine, going fifteen or
twenty miles an hour. The reindeer is
not the Laplander's horse, but his COW !;
and, during the time that it gives milk,
he is freezing large quantities of it, to
be used when no more is to be obtained.
Then he breaks off piece, warns it
out, and has again good article of milk.
The deer is also his food, large herds of
them being kept in some parts of the
country. From its skin the Laplander
makes the roof and floor of his house,
his bed, his shoes and stockings, his
clothes and cords and strings for his
bow. Without this animal, the Lap
lander would be in deplorable condi-
tion.-GoOd Words.

JUDGE HIGLEY, of Cincinnati, has de-
livered learned opinion upon the sub
ject of corporal punishment, the case in
question being one In which the pupil
leaned his head upon his hand, in viola
ton of school rules, and was ridiculed
by the teacher. Again, the boy laughed
when called to recite, and was struck on
the head with the open hand. At tea,
the same night, the boy had poor APP
petite, and was delirious through the
night, but able the following day to re-
sumo his school studies. By process of
reason the Judge reached the conclusion,
upon existing decisions, that, when the
punishment inflicted shocked the moral
sense of the dispassionate and reasona-
BILE, it is illegal. The standard of that
moral sense had, in his judgment, adj
vanced to that extent that the defendant
(the teacher), by employing ridicule,
which was not commendable; by slap
ping the pupil on the head, which was
not proper mode of punishment, and
by infiicting corporal punishment where
there was no open insult or disobedience
to justify it, had brought himself within
the statute, and he should find him
guilty.

into England, and on one of these occa-
sions they attacked the kingdom of
Norfolk and Suffolk, which was then
governed by Christian King, Edmund.
Edmund was q brave man and loved his
country, but was very young, only %,
and beside was no great General, and
his army was small and quite unable to
resist the more powerful Danes. On
they came, and soon made themselves
masters of the kingdom. aud Edmund
himself was taken prisoner and brought
before the Danish King, Hinguar,
on the Goth of November, about
1000 years ago. Now Hinguar hated
the Christians, and so anxious WAS
he to destroy the Christian religion that
he told Edmund his life should be spared
and his kingdom restored to himself if
only he would deny Christ, hoping by
this means to root out Christianity from
that part of the country. But King Ed
mund steadfastly refused, saying, "How
can do this wickedness and sin against
the Lord?" iai
Then Hinguar became very angry,
and ordered him to be tied to tree and
scourged, and finally to be shot to death
with arrows In wood in Suffolk was
an old oak tree, said to be the tree to
which King Edmund had been bound.
Some years ago this old tree was blown
down by high wind, and when it was
sawn up they found in it an arrow, over
which the wood and bark had grown.
At st. Edmundsbury, in Suffolk, is a
beautiful church, one OF the largest In
England, which was built over the place
where King Edmund was buried.

To Teach Dogs to Hate Mankind.

The idea of catching highway robbers
with bloodhounds seems to be gaining
in popularity. Some few newspapers
oppose the suggestion on the high
ground of humanitarianism. Such pa
pers say it is wrong to chase human be-
ings with dogs. The robbers are becom-
ing so numerous, however, and are so
careless about numbering or manning
people when robbery is to be done,
that it should seem that highwayman
should be caught by other means than
such as have been in vogue for capturing
other kind of criminals. And that high
wayman are so seldom caught in the or
binary way is a fact that goes largely to
Ealing for the bloodhoundplan. Whether
it is practical to chase criminals with
hounds in this climate is a question of
great doubt. We are told by hunters
that in the summer time in California
hounds used for chasing deer or foxes
have not the power of seeming to any
very great degree of usefulness.
Another difficulty is that robbers are
generally well armed, and by shooting
the dogs can easily get rid of the pur-
suit. The dogs will always be ahead of
the men who are with them In the chase.
This would be more particularly the
case in the rough mountain regions of
the State, where the robbers mostly
operate.
In spite of these drawbacks, if any
in chasing robbers, it is easy to do so.
The bloodhound is not absolutely neces-
sary to the business. A No. foxhound
will do. The writer of this has seen
many "packs of hounds" that were used
to pursuing human beings, and yet he
never saw q pure bloodhound. Any
hound, and we believe almost any dog
with "nose" on him, can be taught to
follow only the scent of human being.
The best bred English foxhounds can
certainly be trained in that way to such
degree that, in moist climates, the pur-
sued human can get away only by killing
the pursuing dog.
Whoever wants to own pack of men
pursuing hounds should get at the start
lot of puppies, the best breed that he
can find. If these puppies are all of one
litter so much the better. AS soon as
the pups are old enough to toddle around
let their owner himself constantly feed
and care for them. Let every other hui
man being that comes near the little dogs
tease them, and even whip them. In
that way the pups will soon get dislike
to the human race. Let man, or q boy,
after teasing the puppies run away from
them and hide They will soon learn to
scent him out. Advance them In the
grades of this school as they show that
they have learned. Their chase can be
made longer each week or so, and taking
the scent without their having seen the
pursued will be quickly acquired. Never
let them run after any animal below the
grade OF men. In this way one can have
human-pursuing hounds. The descend.
ants of such trained dogs will inherit
something of the educated disposition OF
their progenitors, and generation after
generation, properly bred, of those same
dogs will become the better man-chasers.
1t is the training and education OF dogs
in particular way that makes their
strains celebrated. Grass Valley It'd
