DIVIDING THE CANDY.

Sandy and Ned were brothers;
Ned was older than Sandy;
And they were busy dividing
A stick of peppermint candy.
Ned was earnestly trying
To make the division true,
And he marked the place with tish-hooK
Where the stick ought to break IN TWO.
But, alas, for little Sandy
And his poor painstaking brother!
Twas a long and short DIVISION
One piece longer than the other.
Ned gravely looked at the pieces
And their quite unequal length,
And he wrestled with the problem
With all his mental strength.
And, at last, he said: "Oh, Sandy!
can make it come out right,
If take the piece that's longest,
And bite off just one bite"
Their four eyes beamed and frightened
At this plan, 81 very handy,
Of dispOsing OF the problem
And distributing the candy.
So Ned ate the pieces even
Twas the simplest way to do it;
And he cheated little Sandy
And they neither Of them knew IL,

An Electric Freak.

A gentleman from Paris, Tex, gives
the particulars of a strange and thrilling
event connected with the recent storm
which visited that place. While the
cyclone was passing north of the place
the air seemed impregnated with cleo
tricity. The lightning descended like
an avalanche of destruction, doing
great damage. Trees, houses and per-
sons were destroyed by it, Wallace
Hill, young man, was on his way to
the city in a wagon, and when he
reached the suburbs the storm was at
its height. Suddenly bolt of light
ming fell from the clouds above upon
him He was as Instant J killed Per
tons of his clothing were stripped from
the body. But the strangest phenome-
non was the fact that a branch of tree
under which he had taken shelter was
photographed across his breast in livid
red. The work was perfectly done, the
branch of the tree showing distinctly,
and the shape and delicate veins in the
leaves being plainly visible. This freak
has occasloned considerable comment in
the neighborhood. Little Rock Gazette.

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Planting raspberries in rows In
stead of in stools is recommended. The
thick rows shade the ground and keep
1t moist, and probably the snow in
winter, lodging in the rows, affords a
protection which is lacking in the case
of stool culture.
To prevent chicken cholera, keep
the drinking-water for fowls in old,
rusty iron vessels, and occasionally
throw small quantity of sulphur and
quick-lime into the vessels, and do not
let them get filthy, but wash them out
every few days. Chicago Journal
"A lady suggests that in sowing any
seed that terminates slowly it is a good
plan to SOW few radish seeds among
them. These come up quickly and
mark the rows before the tardy seeds
are up, and as they mature rapidly
they are off the ground before they are
in the way.-N Y Herald.
Don't forget to lay out little
garden plot for the children, and en-
courage them to raise few plants
flowers or vegetables, it matters not
which, if the children can thereby be
interested in garden work. Let them
have the best of soil. good tools, and the
best seed the market affords. The time
and money so spent will be well invested

Green Pease. A peck is sufficient
for the ordinary family of four or five.
Shell the pease, but do not wash them,
as it robs them of much of the flavor If
carrfuIly sheIled there will be no neces-
sity for it. Put them on in boiling
salted water, add teaspoonful of white
sugar and cook for half an hour. Then
drain off the water, stir in tablespoon

hot.-OW Continent.
Many farmers throw away the old
brine in beef and pork barrels and fish
packages. Sometimes they throw it on
a grass patch, or under tree, and kill
the vegetation. If they desire to kill
vegetation with it, they should pour it
on in patches of burdocks or thistleS or
around trees that are worthless. 1t is
better, however, to use it for manure,
in which case it should be applied with
judgment. 1t may be applied to aspar-
agus beds or ounce trees literally, but
to other things sparingly Ordinarily
the best disposition to make of it is to
pour it on a manure or compost heap,
and allow it to be absorbed. Chicago
Times.
Fish cakes: Take any sort Of cooked
fish, well picked from the bones, and
mince it. Put the heads, fins and bones

part of bread crumbs, a little chopped
onions and parsley, and season with

A Petrifed Corpse.

G. Clinch, twenty years ago, buried
at Folsom a child that died at the age
of three years. The little girls body
was placed in a coffin that was inclosed
in zinc and hermetically sealed, and that
in turn placed in the ordinary wooden
grave box. The grave was dug in high
and dry ground. Yesterday Mrs. Clinch
and her daughter went to Folsom to dis
inter the body and bring it to Sacra-
mento to be placed in the family ceme-
terry lot here. They expected to find
only few bones, and took with them
proper box in which to place them.
Their surprise can be imagined when
they found that the coffin, from which
the grave box had rotted away, was ex-
ceedingly heavy-at least three or four
times as heavy as when placed in the
grave. One small hole only had rusted
through the zinc. The metal was cut,
and the coffin opened, and the body
found to be completely petrihed. The
child lay before the mother as natural
in form and feature as when consigned
to the grave twenty-one years ago.
The features were perfect, and face,
arms and hands like alabaster After
exposure to the air short time this per-
feet whiteness changed to light yell
lowish, or tint with shade of brown.
The body was solid stone, and to the
blow gave response as would marble.
The clothing was petrifed likewise, and
the bouquet of flowers upon the child's
bosom and little doll that had been
placed in the hollow of one arm were
also turned to stone, as was the hair
also, and indeed everything in the coffin
and about the body. Large numbers Of
people viewed the body at Folsom, and
the unanimous judgment was that a more
perfect specimen of petrification they
had never seen.-Sacran,entO Union.

er Of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail tocure il
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with a per-
feet restoration Of the general health. 1t is,
however, prudent, and in every case more cer-
tain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller
doses for week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however, res
quire cathartic medicine after having taken
three or four doses Of the Tonic single dose
of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS
will be sufficient.

Some OF the most important invention
nave been the work of mere boys. The
invention of the valve motion TO the steam
engine was made by a boy. Watts left the
engine in a very incomplete condition, from
the fact that he had no way to ope or close
the valves, except by means of levers ope-
rated by the hand. He sat up a large en-
Cine at one of the mines, and a boy was
hired to work these valve levers; al
though this was not hard work, yet 1t re-
quired his constant attention. As he was
tyorking these levers, lie saw that parts of
the engine moved in the right direction.
and at the exact time that he had to open
or close the valves. He procured n strong
cord and made one end fast to the proper
part of the engine, and the other end TO
tho valve lever; the boy had the ~satisfac-
ton of seeing the engine nov with a per
feet regularity of motion. A short time
after, the foreman came around saw the
boy playing marbles at the door. Looking
at the engine he soon saw the ingenuity
of the boy, and also the advantage of so
oreat an invention. Mr.. Watts then car
ried out the boys inventive genius in a
practical form, and made the steam engine
a perfect automatic working machine.
The power loom is the invention of a
farmer boy who had never seen or heard
Of such o thing. He whitfield one out with
III ana after ne nau got IL all
done, he, with great enthusiasm, showed it
20 his fathpr, who kicked it all TO pieces,
say,ny, he would have no boy about him
that would spend his time on such foolish
tlInCo. The boy gathered up the pieces
and laid them away. soon after that hif
father bound him out as an apprentice to e
blacksmith, about twelve miles from home.
The boy was delighted at the idea of learn
ing q trade, and he soon found that his
new master was kind and too a lively in
terest in him. He had mad n loom of
what was left of the one his father had
broken up which he showed to his master.
The blacksmith saw he had no common
boy as an apprentice, and that the inven-
ton was a very valuable one. He had a
loom constructed under the supervision of
the boy il worked to their perfect salts
s~action, and the blacksmith furnished the
means to manufacture the looms, and the
boy was to receive one-half the profits. In
about a year the blacksmith wrote the boys

Mystery OF Dreams.

A story is told of a man who fell asleep
Is the clock tollcd the first stroke of twelve
ind awakened ere the echo of the twelfth
stroke had died away. In the interval he
had dreamed that he had committed a
crime, been detected after five years, tried
and condemned the shock of finding the
halter a5out his neck aroused him to con-
seriousness, when he discovered that these
events had happened in an infinitessima
fragment of time.
Mohammed. wishing to illustrate the
wonders of sleep, told how n certain man
began n sheik found himself for his pride,
made poor a fisherman that he lived as one
for sixty years, brought up n family and
worked hard how, upon waking from his
long dream, so short n time had he been
asleep, that the narrow-necked gourd bot
tie filled with water, which he knew If
overturned as he fell asleep, had not tint
in which to empty itself.
What is it that crowds the experience of
years into an atom of time, and how can
we explain the workings of a mind that
moves with such astonishing rapidity ?
How fast the soul travels when the body
is asleep! How often when we wake dc
we shrink from the dull routine of sordid
experience That is before us, and wish our
selves back in the p%leasantor life of dream
land. How is it when we go to a strange
place we fancy that we have seen it before {
Or why, when awakening in the morning
are we impressed with an indescribable
sense of having been somewhere, and
gnzed upon scenery that is strange TO us
but which is pictured upon our minds, and
which dwells with us for days through the
influence of n dream?
Is IL possible that when one has beer
nsleep the soul has flonted away, seen the
place, and has stamped upon its memory
the impressions which we canno compre-
bend, and which cling to us with such te.
nacity when we awake?
If IL is true, as some scientific men claim
that there is such a substantial, vital, and
mental organism, which constitutes the in.
corporal and essential entity of every liv-
ing creature, then we can understand what
1t is hat controls and influences us, thai
connects us with the countries and pro.
phetic utterance of our dreams, and wnic,
leaves our bodies, while they lie senseless
and asleep, to roam the earth Mt will.
1t must be n part of some actual sub.
stance which had o previous existence
and as our material organism necessarily
came from n source-or fountain of pre-ex'
listing matter, so must our mental int vita
organism cone from n source or fountain
of pre-eXi5ting mind and life.
1t is the mental, i~ncorporeal structure
that which is immortal, the soul of man
that goes forth and receives the impressions
that fasten themselves upon our minds
with such vividness when we are awake
1t is this essence, which comprehends in d
dream, quicker than the lightning dash
the detailed experiences of events in our
lives which would cover years in Their
actual enactment.-Bosi0R Times.

Newspaper Work.

Many young men, fresh from college,
crammed with learning and ambition, de
sire TO become journalists that they may
exercise moral influence over the masses
which are reached by n newspaper. They
do not understand that journalists are not
turned out of universities ready made
Journalism is n profession which can only
be mastered after long years of active ser
vice-on the same principle of that to be n
good lawyer, or q successful minister, OF n
competent mechanic, one must have prac-
teal experience, and can attain prominence
only after long years of patient labor
Young men on leaving college are apt to
think they could shape the destiny of n
nation if they could only get control of the
columns Of some newspaper. Perhaps n
young graduate does get an opportunity to
write editorials for some country weekly.
He launches a bolt, and then a~nNiously
awaits the report. He generally waits in
vain, and is both panied and chagrined to
End out that his majestic u~tterances have
attracted no attention whatever. Perhaps
he gets a position on one Of the big dailies,
and, with a proud heart, he hands in 10
the managing editor n long article, over
which he spent several days and nights in
writing and rewriting, only TO be sharply
told that such com ,ositions are useless
that what is wanted is n concise statement
OF news. He is perhaps detailed to write
up some congenial subject, and is ordered
to have it done ut n certain time. Ham
pered thus, pinioned genius refuses to
work, and the ambitious youth makes a
Cat failure. Journalism is drudgery-
plodding, unostentatious drudgery. The
individual work which makes a complete
newspaper attracts no attention from the
public generally. Readers say this or that
