had acted upon this principle, but having
traded beyond their capital they exposed
themselves to the first adverse gale that
blew, and in order to prevent their bark
from sinking they have had to part with
every head of stock, one after the other,
till all were gone, and this with yearly
l~essening crops could only end in disaster.
But the landlords have been like sinners
in the same direction. How many Of them
have been adding house to house and field
to field and instead of having eight Or
ten tenants, some of whom would most
likely have stood their ground, they had
but one or two, who have succumbed, and
their places are now vacant and their
farms tenantlGss. And this is not the
worst part of the business, for where there
is one applicant for q farm of 500 acres
there are 50 for 100 acres and less; but
the houses and premises being removed
makes it a serious matter, as the landlord
has but little heart or money to build them
again, even though he should be yet con
WINGED of the error ofhis ways. But while
apportiOning both to the landlord and the
tenant their share Of the blame for the
disaster which has happened, is there no
blame attaching to the labourerS Yes,
for while his condition has been gradually
improving during the last ten years he
has been contributing less labour, and
that less willingly, so much so, that it now
requires four to do the same amount Of
work as was formerly done by three.
Now, what is the remedy for all this adj
verSity ?-f0r agriculture, being in a sad
way, has many doctors. Lord Derby has
told us that there are too many Squires.n
This, certainly, is an unpleasant truth,
but it is a truth nevertheless bnt, doubt-
less this state of things will find its own

to know what treatment is best adapted
to the different soils. Many nave thought

Water for Babies.

was one day called upon to visit a
sick little one in family residing near
my Office. The babe found in appar-
ent good health, but crying and strug-
Cling in its mothers arms as though
suffering excruciating pains.
The mother informed me that the
child seemed DESTROYS of nursing con-
tinually; and that, to quit it, she had
given it the breast as soon as the crying
commenced. When this did not soothe

My good woman" enquired,
"when did you last give your babe a
drink of water ?"
81 don't remember" replied the lady:
81 seldom let him drink water. Does
he need it?"
"Need it? Why should he not need il
as much as you? This child is suffering
from thirst-nothing more"
l called for cold water, and gave the
infant q few teaspoonfuls, and it was
relieved of all his troubles, stopped cry
ing and sank peacefully to sleep in is
mothers arms.
Let this be reminder to mothers and
nurses. Infants who nurse at the
breast may often suffer as much from
want of water as adults who eat more
solid food. Often when child cries,
it is only thirst which causes it.
Do not, then, dose it with poisonous
soothing syrups' or nursing cordial OF
press it to the breast, which it will
eagerly grasp, expecting to satiate its
bt,rni po thirst hy1t fllad tn tho bri.l-

Use little discretion. The poor little
one cannot tell its wants; if it could, i
would often cry: "Water water !"

A DOG LET LOOSE.
The Joker who Lost Bet but Had
All the Fun.

Some days since saloon-keeper on
Cratic avenue paid certain parties III
Chicago $25 for stuffed lion to add to
the attractions of his saloon, and the
other morning as the place was being
scrubbed out the lion was placed at the
front door to keep him out of the wet.
Half block down the street farmer
was having his wagon repaired and q
big bulldog was chained to the hind
axle-tree. He grew uneasy the minute
the lion was rolled out, and it needed
only a few encouraging words from the
boys to render him half frantic. He
growled and plunged and tore around
and attracted quite crowd, among
which was man who remarked.
"That's purity brave dog of yours,
stranger"
Grave! I'd like to see the man or
beast he wouldn't tackle!' replied the
owner.
al dunno about that. Never saw a
dog yet who'd stand before lion"
"Well, here's one who'd stand before
two lions. See how anxious he is to get

eyes; but he puts that on because
he's chained. If he was loose you
couldn't get him within rod of that
specimen"
Couldn't Ell? Maybe you want to
hear yourself talk"
"Well, dunno I'm opposed to bet
ting, card-playing, dancing and all that,
but seeing you are rather sassy about
this. Tve got a half dollar here which
says that you can't get that dog to go
within six feet of that lion."
"Put up the money-put up the mo-
ney" shouted the farmer as he went
down his own pockets after the coin.
The money was put up, the crowd
fell back, and the farmers face wore a
smile of triumph as he still further ex-
cited the dog, and then slipped his col
lar. With yell of rage the "canine"
made Decline for the king of all
beasts, and in another moment there
was reason for terrific yell of APP
plause. Dog and lion filled the air, SO
to say. The lion was rolled over and
over, grabbed by the throat and shaken
around, drawn across the street and
back by the ear, and when the dog final
ly let up the corpse the battle-ground
was covered with hair and hay and
sawdust and glass eyes. At that mo-
ment the saloon-keeper rushed out, a
policeman came up, and for five min
utes the air was rent with shouts and

farmer.
"Dot lions cost me $25 in Shecago,"
protested the saloon man.
"Who put up this job?" demanded
the officer, as he CARED around on the
crowd.
By and by deep silence fell upon
the crowd and in the voice which had
only kindness in it, the owner of the
lion said he must have his $25 or he
would start for the Police Court. The
policeman said it was certainly case
| for the courts, and the crowd said the
farmer might have known what would
happen. He protested, but finally
came to time, and when he had passed
over ten-dollar bill and given his note
for the balance, he had only one SEN
tence to utter. That was:
"Now, then, I'll give any of you five
acres of land to put me face to face

Wonderful Strength Of Insects.

8" If you want to see muscle" natu-
ralist said, "take glance through this
glass" pointing to seat before a pow
erful microscope. The drop of Croton
water was fairly alive with little round or
oval bodies. There was nothing
specially remarkable about them; but
soon wonderful creature rolled upon
the scene from distant part of the
drop. Ia appearance it resembled a
crystal bell. The edges were orna-
mented with delicate fringe, and the
entire mass was as transparent as glass.
The mouth of the bell was evidently
the mouth of the animal, because the
observer saw it rush along like scoop,
and, turning down, fasten its edges to
the bottom, as if to secure some minute
animal that was resisting, and second
later some object could be seen passing
up into the body.

Initials ON Eruif

Did you ever see a name printed on
a growing apple, pear or peach Nor
Well, if you want to have that pleas
ure, this is the way to obtain it: While
the fruit yet hangs green upon the tree,
make up your mind which is the big
gest and most promising specimen Of
all. Next, cut out from thin, tough
paper the initials of the name of your
little brother or sister or chief crony,
with round specks for the dots after the
letters, and the letters themselves plain
and thick. Then paste these letters
and dots on that side of the apple which
is not turned to the sun, taking care
not to loosen the fruits hold upon the
stem. ~
As soon as the apple is ripe, take of
the paper cuttings, which, having shut
out the reddening rays of the sun, have
kept the fruit green just beneath them,
so that the name or initials now show
plainly. After that, bring the owner
of the initials to play near the tree,
and say presently, "Why, what are
those queer marks on that pple up
there7"
You will find this quite pleasant
way to surprise the very little ones land
of course you can print a short pei
name as easily as you can initials.-S

How yutmegs Grow.

Nutmegs grow on little trees which
look like pear trees, and are generally
not over twenty feet high. The flowers
are very much like the lily of the val
ley. They are pale and very fragrant.
The nutmeg is the seed of the fruit, and
mace is the thin covering over the seed.
The fruit is about as large as peach.
When ripe it breaks open and shows a
little white nut inside. The trees grow
on the islands of Asia and tropical
America. They bear fruit for seventy
or eighty years, having ripe fruit upon
them all the seasons. A fine tree in
Jamaica has over 1000 nutmegs on il
every year. The Dutch used to have all
this nutmeg trade. as they owned the
Bauda islands, and conquered all the
other traders and destroyed the trees.
To keep the price up they once burned
three piles of nutmegs each of which
was as big as a church. Nature did not
sympathize with such meanness. The
nutmeg pigeon, found in all the Indian
islands, did for the world what the
Dutch had determined should not be
done-carried those nuts, which are
their food, into the surrounding coun-
tries, and trees grew again and the
world had the benefit.

light one. He was sentenced to a SER
vitude of two years, and his labor, with
that of forty-seyen others, white and
black, was contracted to firm known as
Warner, Tabler & Co. to work on rail-
roads. They were afterward sue-let to
Irwin & Long, and put to work in Bath
County on the Chesapeake IL Ohio Rail-
road. These men, according to the
convict's story, were quartered In a
miserable cabin twenty feet long by
twelve feet wide, and compelled to la
Dor fourteen hours day. They were
allowed no pay for extra work, although
the law made different provision. Dur
ing the rigorous weather of last winter
they were constantly kept out, work
ing on the railroad each secular day
and cutting wood for their taskmakers
on Sunday. Their own fires were In
sufficient to keep them warm, and the
convict says: 'Often and often / have
gone in from work late at night with
my clothing frozen stiff and would have
to go to bed without being allowed to
make fire to thaw and dry myself"
He was good draughtsmen by occu-
patton unused to hard work, but was
placed between two negro men and
compelled to perform as much labor as
they did. Failing to always keep up
he was ordered to be whipped, and the
negro convict appointed to infiict the
lashing, not performing the duty in ac
cordance with the wishes of the fend
in charge, was savagely beaten with an
ax-handle, and died two days afterward
from the effect of the blows. In con-
tinuation of his story the convict says:
81 belonged to gang of seven-six
negro convicts and myself-and before
spring came the six negroes were dead,
but / stood it through. John Dowell,
negro, had his hands badly frozen,
and begged the boss to let him go to
the fire and warm them. The boss said
he was playing off; but in order to con-
vince him that he was not, Dowell
struck his fingers on the cart-wheel
and they ratified like sticks, but he was
not allowed to warm them. His fingers
dropped of shortly afterward, and he
was not able to work any more. We
were locked up in the log shanty on
Saturday night and not even allowed to
60 after water until Monday morning,
and, unless the bosses wanted us to do
something for them, the door was not
opened in the meantime. Before the
State Inspector of Convicts would ar
rive to look after us we were quietly
informed that if we gave him any infor
nation we would pay dearly for it.
