for an hour in water which is well sailed.
When they are tender drain off the
water, let them stand for a few minutes

them in a dripping pan, put a
little lump of butter and some pepper
and salt on each one; let them remain in
the oven until they are nicely Drowned.
Serve while very hot.-M 2. Post.
Lands are not drained simply to add
to the quantity and quality of the crops,
or to place your lands in condition to be
titled by the least possible expenditure OF
time and means. These would indeed
be c~ommendable objects. and might well
engage your earnest and constant atten.
ton. But you do more than this; every
farm well drained has gained a partial Il
not entire immunity from certain dis
eases, and every farmer who builds him
a home, where he may eat and drink and
repose .'under his own vine and tree,'
on well drained land, takes thereby ar
extended lease of life, and adds security
to the happiness and health of wife and
children.-Drainage journal.

Indian Marriage Laws.

A paper, on this subject, read by Rev.
j. Owen Dorsey before the American
Association, notices some remarkable
customs in relation to marriage and kin
ship as prevailing among the Dhegitha
Indians, particularly the Omahas and
Poncas.
When a tribe is hunting it camps, by
gentes or nations, in a circle, each gems
bearing the name of some animal. All
the members of one gems are relatives,
and marriage between members of one
gems is absolutely forbidden. Member
ship in a gems is by descent in the male
line, not in the female. The relations
of a man are denoted by colors ; for
example-black, grandfather or grand
mother; blue, father or mother. His
| connections are denotedby mixed colors,
such as pink head and skirt, with light
blue triangle on the body, for sister-in-
widow, and her children call him father
even before their fathers death. His
sisters children are only nephews and
nieces. His mothers sister is always
called mother for the same reason, and
even his paternal grandfather's brothers
son is his father. These, and many
other distinctions, show that the terms
of relationship are far more numer-
GUS and complicated with the Oma-
has than with us. A man may
marry any woman belonging to an
other gems, whether connected with him
or not though marriage into his moth
er's gems is also forbidden. A man can
not marry any woman to whom he is re-
lated by the ceremony of the calumet
dance. Sometimes a man may take the
children of his deceased brother without
their mother herself. Sometimes the
dying husband, knowing that his male
kindred are bad, tells his wife to marry
out of his gems. If a widower remains
single for two, three OF four years, he
must remain so forever. Widows, how
ever, must wait four years before remar
rying. The same system prevails among
the Iowas, Otos and Missouris.-F'oputar

The Occasional Profit Of Unselfshness.

A striking instance of the occasional
profit of unselfishness has lately come to
light in the case of Lieutenant Willard
Young a son of the late Mormon leader.
He is a teacher of engineering at West
Point, and when the litigation COM
menced in regard to the distribution of
his fathers estate, his agents wrote him
to know what they should do in regard
to his interests. He replied that he did not
wantt take partin any unseemly wran-
gle over the accumulations of his dead
father; that he was able to get his living
by his profession, and that they could
send him what the others didn't want.
In reply he received a lot of railroad
stock supposed to be nearly worthless,
which he accepted without grumbling.
The later development of the territory
has unexpectedly advanced the value OF
his stock, SO that he is now one of the
richest of his fathers heirs. 1t is need
less to say that the selfish brothers and
sisters who supposed that they were max
ing a good thing out of his apparent
g%reenncss and good nature are disposed,
o kick themselves for their ~foolishness-i

BINDWEED.

-
The verdant garlands creep and Irvine
About the branches of the vine,
And hold in close embrace
Tit blushing beauty of the rose
That year, by year INTENDED grows
In shis deserted place.
Its blossom, like q shallow cup
OF p trest Parian, lifted up,
Is rull of morning dew;
My comedy lilies, nursed with care
To glad the garden borders, wear
No whittier, purer hue.
And yet, and yet, I know the vine
Whereon its graceful garlands Irvine
Had come to better fruit
lf this lush growth of white and green,
The ~bind-weed's close and ciinging screen
Had never taken root.
That through IT'S greenness giints and glow
Had come to fuller flower
If this fragile parasite
Hadnever spread its green and white
To summer sun and shower.
/ pull the tender leaves apart,
There lies q lesson. oh, my hearth
Beneath the bind-weed spray.
So clinging human love hath power
To sap and dwarf away.
Tosap the soul of strength divine,
To blight its fruit, like numbered vine,
Which scarce a cluster shows;
To dwarf with narrow selfish claims
The growth of wide and generous aims,
As bind-weed dwarfs the rose.
And vet. God wot, the love is clean,
And, like the bind-weed, fresh and green
1t springeth in the heart;
It's only when we lack the grace
To train Ii fairly in its place,
To portion out its part;

The history of corn in this country
covers the period from 1911, when thirty
acres were planted by the James River
settlers, to the present time, when ON
fields amount to 62, 900, 900 acres, yield.
ing 1,5OO, 000, 900 bushels and upward
annually. The exports of corn, com
pared to the whole crop are small, but a
great deal goes out in the form of meat.
The exports for the seven years, 1876 to
1882, both inclusive, were 624, $50, SIC
bushels of corn, which was 16S, 900, O0G
bushels more than the combined exports
of the preceding fifty-five years; but the
value for the last seven years was not
proportionately so great, as the average
price was only ffty-six cents, against
seventy-four cents in the longer period.
The total of the six principal grains
raised in 1880 was 2 ,71S, 1913, sol bushels
on 120, 926, 2S6 acres. In 1881, though
the acreage rose to 123, 377, 40, the yield
