Save the Sorghum Seed.

A few years ago the value of sor ghum seed was not generally known nor appreciated. farmers, when harvesting the sorghum, would leave the seed lying on the ground: if the chickens or hogs ate it, all right, or if nothing got io 1t was all right. In agricultural papers of to day, sor- 9uum seed is highly recommended as food for horses, hogs, chickens, etc. This is 9 step in the right d. rectlon. Griddle cakes made of sor- gum flour is similar in taste anu ap- pearance to buckwhcat cakes, and of a milder flavor. A person might easily be deceived, thinking he was eating buckwhcat cakes, when in re ality they were made of sorghum flour. Some of the Superior brands of buckwhcat four we sec adver. tised, are made from sorghum seed. One way of curing the seed is, take it when the sorghum is harvested and spread it on the grass where il cannot be disturbed, leave it there a couple of weeks or so. A few show CTS or frosts will not hurt it, but if it is scattered too thick, ia should be turned occasionally to prevent moulding. When it is thoroughly dry, haul it onto the barn floor, and when it has cured enough, thrash the seed out and run it through the windmill. It IS then ready to be ground to tloIr A crop or sorghum will yield from twenty to forty bush els of seed to the acre.

The thirty-threc navigable rivers of the Mississippi system comprise 14,000 miles of navigable waters, intersecting or bordering on eighteen States and territories. The extent of territory subject to overflow was, in 1874, estimated to be Il, l,l93 square miles, an area as great as the com blned areas O.

GRIM FATE.

OF all tumultuous horrors the most
incredible is reported from the Huns
garian village, of Belenyes. A hand
some man of forty five and devil
may care youth of twenty became
enamored of pretty young widow
who KEEP. wine chop. Jealous of the
favors shown to the boy the man lay
in wait to kill him, but instead fell 9
victim to the superior strength of his
rival. An investigation proved be-
yond question that the two adverse
ries were father and son and the
pretty widow was the daughter Of
one and the sister of the other. II
was a grim fate which brought these
three together after separation
which began during the infancy of
the children.

STICK TO ONE THING.

"Unstable as water, thou shalt no
excel" is the language Of the Bible
Whoever expects TO succeed in an.
undertaking, must enter int It wit
a hearty and earnest will to do hi
best. When trade or profession
chosen, obstacles, be they large o
small, must not be allowed to stan
in the way of mastering trade o
profession. However much we ma.
deprecate the old time custom of in
denturing apprentices, the System
10 its practical results, operated al
most always for the lasting good o
the apprentice. Generally, it in
sured to him a good trade and
wholesome discipline that fitted him
for success 10 business. AT the
present time, very many young men
undertake to acquire trade, and at
ter a brief trial abandon it, because
there are unpleasant duties to be
performed and obstacles to overcome.
They consider themselves accounts
able to no one, and go and come al
the bidding of caprice, or an un'
settled, uneasy mind. The result Of
this is to send out into the world
young men who have not half learn
ed their trades, of unstable charac
ter, who drift from post to pillar,
and who succeed in nothing but
strolling along the highways of life,
melancholy wrecks of men. We
would earnestly entreat every young
man, after be has chosen his veca-
ton to stick to it don't leave it be-
cause hard blows are to be struck
or disagreeAble work performed
The men who have worked their
way up to wealth and usefulness do
not belong to the shiftless and un
stable class, but may be reckoned
among those who took off their coats
rolled up their sleeves, conquered
their prejudices agrinst labor, and
manfulIy bore the heat and burden
of the day. Whether upon the old,
worn out farm, whore our fathers
toiled diligently striving to bring
back the soil to productiveness, 10
the machine shop and factory, or in
the thousand other bainess places
that invite honest toll and skill, let
the motto ever be--Perseverance
and Industry. The baby training
of the nursery was good in it's place,
but it won't answer all the demands
of an active life. This is not ba|
by world. We must expect to be
knocked and jostled about in the
stern conflict. and get run over, il
we are not on the lookout and pre-
pared to meet the duties of life with
q purpose not to shirk them but t.
fulfill them. A young man with
good trade or honorable profession
as be goes forth into the world with
his mind made up to stick to biz
trade or profession, is not obliged t.
ask for many favors. He will hew
his way to success, while the unsta"
bic and sbiftless will grow tired,
despair and fail.

TEASING cEILpREN.

Of all disagreeable habits that oil
teasing children, we consider the
most despicable. Why not lot the
girl enjoy her dolly without teasing
her about it's nose or eyes until she
cannot take dolly toto her arms
without thoughts of its imperfections'
suggested by this teasing, coming
up before her

hair happens to be red be is leased
about that as if it were Disgrace to
have red bair. If he has freckles,
he is told that his face looks like q
turkeys egg, and similar remarks
are made, until the child readily be
lieves he looks so bad that he is
ashamed to go to Sabbath school or
church Often by this needless.
cruel teasing the child's life is rob-
bed of it's natural brightness and
gaiety.
How many mothers have wept
bitter tears as they have seen the
child they have so carefully taught
to DO gentle and Loving TO al, leased
into saying aud doing things saucy
aud rude. In vain do they beg
papa. uncle or cousin to desist from
teasing, and not until the naturally
sweet tempered child has been
changed into rude and disagreeable
one do these hAbitual teasers see the
wreck they have made, and then it
is often too late to, wholly, remedy
the evil.
Paul understood human nature
when he said, Fathers, provoke not
your children to wrath No one
ever saw mother tease a child to
make it unhappy. We ought al
ways strive TO keep .be child in an
amiabIs mood ard to bring into dali
ly action the traits of character
which we wish to become habitual.
Every ou,burst of passion leaves its
mark on the soul and whoever need
lessly provokes these outburts,
Not alone commits an error
But grevious moral wrong.

STATE AND COUNTY TAKES
MONEY NOT TAXABLE.

| Mr.. Bascom Myrick, of Forsyth,
Ga has, 10 q letter to the Atlanta
Constitution, calling the attention Of
the Comptroller General to ques-
tion touching the returns of state
and county taxes, which may be Of
benefit to those who are fortunate
enough to have bad any of Uncle
Sans promises to pay on hand
| abou. the let Of April.
On the tax digest furnished the
receivers of each county by the
Comptroller General, is column fer
the returns oftsxable property head
ed, "Money, Solvent Notes and Ac.
counts"
If our state officials ere 10 error,
as clearly appears from the revised
statutes quoted below-latest edition
lSS2-then they ought not to per-
sist 10 collecting thousands Of illegal
taxes annually, even if, as generally
supposed, the mOneyed men, upon
whom this principally falls, are able
to stand it. And if there is any law
authorizing this, it should be repeal>
cd, as it is in conflict with the stat-
utes of the United States, and there's
fore null and void.
"SEC. 1901. All stocks, bonds,
treasury notes, and other obligations
of the United States, shall be exempt
from taxation by or under state or
municipal or local authority. (See
Bank We Supervisors, Z Wall, 26.)
"SEC. 54l3. The words obliga-
ton or other security of the United
States shall be held to mean all
bonds, certificates of Indebtedness,
national bank currency, coupons,
United States notes, treasury notes,
fractional notes, certificates Of de-
post, bills, checks, or drafts for
money, drawn by or upon authorized
officers of the United States, stamps,
and other representatives of value
of whatever denomination which
may have been or may be issued
under any act of Congress-"
From this it will be seen that
paper money is not taxable at oil,
and that gold and silver money is
subject to taxation only as so much
bullion or valuable metal.
