A Man Of Many Names.

1t was, perhaps, excusable in the
liberal registration agent before the re-
vising barrister in the city. that he found
some difficulty in identifying Mr.. Bur-
dett- Coutts with Mr.. Ashmead-Bartlett,
whose name was on the list of voters as
a liveryman of the Turner's company.
This gentleman has undergone as many
changes of nomenclatury as certain rare
plants which are named by every bot
anist who comes across them. He was
known to his Highgate school-fellows as
Bartlett, and to his contemporaries at
Keole as Ashmead-B Bartlett. Since
then he has blossomed out as Coutts-

now into the full-blown Burdett-

without concealment, and became more
and more convinced that there was
nothing worth diving for. The theory
of the manager was that the Hussar's
guineas had been packed in iron boxes,
and that the material in these had been
oxidized by the influence of the sea, and
that thus the divers were forced to work
slowly with drills and could accomplish
no satisfactory results. The fact is that
certain persons interested in the scheme
saw chance of making money without
raising it from the deep, and availed
themselves it. One man whose whole

its supposed treasures, has built a row of

A Ridiculous Quarrel.

An Alsatian paper gives us a new and
characteristic story of one OF those dis
tricts with whose inhabitants NM. Erck-
man and Chatrian have made us familiar.
Two peasant farmers had attended a
.'kirchweih'' or awake" as we should
say. One was about to walk home and
the other to drive home, when the latter
offered his neighbor seat in his wagon.
1t was somewhat late and both had drunk
pretty freely of local wine more re-
markable for its strength than for its
flavor. The sky was intensely clear, and
the two men sat silent for some time
gazing at the stars and apparently alb
sorbed in the contemplation of the
splendor of nature. At last one gave
the other thrust and observed, "Sepp,
l will tell the all l want-just one
meadow as big as the armament over
yonder.'' "And L." returned Sepp,
evil tell thee all L want-just as many
cows and sheep as they are blinking
stars up there" 'sThou fool" observed
his friend, .'what could man do with
SO many cows and sheep? The world
would never grow fodder enough for
for them ALL" AYE, that may be-
said the other, with a shrewd look, s.but
1 should drive them into thy big mea-
dow" THAT thou should'st never do,
Sepp; not hoof of anybody else's cattle
should tread upon it." Sepp declared
that he should contest the dog-in-the-
manger claims of his neighbor, asserting
that Heaven belonged to everybody, and
that pasture as big as Heaven would be
a gigantic common. The two men, who
were usually the best of friends, passed
from words to blows in their absurd vim
dication of the rights of property on one
side and the privileges of trespass on
the other. The conflict ended by the
the owner of the wagon being knocked
out of his own vehicle. This led to a
complaint before local court, and the
ridiculous conversation in the cart at
midnight was solemnly reproduced as
part of the evidence. London Globe.

Teaching Calves to Drink.

In the late issue of the Prorisioner,
England, there is very funny account
of a mans attempt to teach a calf how
to drink. There is fine description Of
the approach to the calf, with his great
stupid eyes in full amaze. The man
straddles him and attempts to push his
head down into the milk, when the
calf rises in his wonderment and carries
the man across the stable and lands him
head foremost in the milk-pail. Then
come the proverbial affidayits of strong
language, pounding of the calf over
the head with the empty pail, and the
determination to let the bloody beast
starve to death; all going to prove that
calves of the old country have the same
calf nature that they have in this
country, which is, perhaps. no great
wonder after all, as the trouble here so
graphically described, does not really
come from the calf, but from the ignor-
ance and stupidity of the genus homo
that has, as some one says, vast
amount of human nature in it wherever
he is found.
In teaching calves to drink there is a
right way as well as wrong way to go
about it, and the chances are hun
dred to one that the man who never
learned the business will have as much
trouble in his first efforts as he would
in trying to steer setting hen.
In the first place, the calf should be
made to fast until his appetite is quite
sharp. He should then be handled by
two persons instead of one, unless the
one has had great deal of experience.
If one holds his body still the other can
readily manipulate his head, and as soon
as he gets a good taste of the milk his
wits seem to come about him, and lit
tie coaxing will do the rest; but. of all
things, have little patience with him.
In the large breeding establishments
that are now scattered all over the
country, it is the universal practice to
teach the calves to drink, for no other
purpose than to save time and trouble
in handling them. One man can read
lily feed dozen or more calves, while
it wonld almost demoralize a stable of
cows to turn all these half crazy young
things into the cows to suck. The
worst calves to teach are not the lively
and .obstreperous ones, such as the
above description alludes to. but the
dull, stupid ones, that seem to have no
ideas in their heads at all. We have
been bothered for DAYS with such a
brute. and it is only the last pangs Of
starvation that seems to quicken their
wits. There is certainly material diff
ference between n scrub calf and a
thOroughbred-the latter learning, as a
rule, without any hesitation. This
probably comes from long association
of the ancestors with human beings,
making them more apt in understand
ing what is needed, or possibly in not
being so frightened at a mans presence
and in that way losing their wits

Took a Tumble.

A farmer and his wife came riding
into town the other day in big two
horse wagon, and the woman carried in
her arms baby wrapped up in an old
bed quilt. As there was a good deal
more bed quilt than baby the little one
slipped out and tumbled unhurt into
soft place in the street, and the couple
logged on serenely unconscious that any
thing was wrong until a bevy of small
boys chased after them yelling:
'.Say, mister, you have lost some
thin"
s.Don't look round" said the woman,
nudging her husband. ''Ifs them city
bows, and they alltls act Jest so.
'.S-a-y! missis, be this yours" shouted
the boys in chorus.

inquired the farmer, anxiously.
'sNo, l haven't answered his wife.
ssThis amt the fust of Aprile, is it? It's

quilt a little, then as she felt its empti-
ness-"Lord massey, where's the baby

They both looked back and then saw .
crowd of boys swarming at the end Of
the wagon, and in their midst a happy,
dusty baby delighted with the situation.

youngster. and, wrapping it more So

What is Cruelty to a Cat?

The trial of Hugh Devlin for cruelty
to a cat called forth interesting medical
testimony at Providence recently. Dew
lin had confessed that, having been an
noyed by huge tom-cat, he had
chucked it alive under the ground, not
wantonly, but because he thought it
was the surest and most merciful way
to take the animals nine lives. The
agent of the HuInape Society contended
that Devlin had done a cruel. wanton
deed. but physicians testified for the de-
Tense that death by suffocation under
ground was for any animal as easy and
painless as death By drowning. The
popular horror of being buried alive
had its origin. not in experience, but
in the Imagination, which pictured such
fate as terrible. Whatever Devlin's
intent, he had caused the cat no more
death agony than if he had followed the
orthodox method and drowned it. Pos
sibly, said one physician, the cat lived
longer by three respirations than it
would have done under water. Deylin
was found not guilty of cruelty to cat

domestic Life Among tho Battas.

The Batta does not make his morning
.0ilet in the house, but at the special
bathing places, OR pdntjurs, with which
every village is provided. These places
are arranged at running stream or a
canal made for the purpose. by fixing
water-pipe of bamboo in such manner
that man standing or sitting under it
can have the water run all oeer his body.
Such baths are taken morning and even
ing. Separate panJurs are provided for
the women. 1t is one of the morning
duties of the women and girls, even
down to children of four and five years
old. to bring drinking water in the gar

growing girls are generally measured by
the number of gargitss they can carry.
Let US follow q woman into one OF the
inclosed dwelling-house The floor is
made of round bamboo beams about as
large as ones arm, across which are
laid split bamboos far enough apart to
let the water and dirt through, and make
sweeping unnecessary. Broad, raised
seats and lounges, covered with mats Of
various patterns and styles, are arranged
on either side. In the corners are fire.
places of q primeval simplicity, flat,
square boxes filled with earth, and upon
these some thick stones, between which
the fire burns quite briskly, while the rice
is cooked in homemade earthen vessels
set upon them. The number of families
living in the house can generally be cal
culated from the number of fire-places to
be seen. No division is made in the day
time between the parts of the house oc-
cupied by the different families, but
separation is made between the sleeping
places at night by hanging up mats. Or
dinarily, only blood relations live to-
gether in the same house. The children
of both sexes, after they have grown up,
sleep outside of the house and not with
their parents, the young men in the
sopos, the girls in parties of several with
some old widow; but the children, till
they have households of their own, take
their meals with their parents. At meals
the whole family sit around the rice-pots.
They formerly used leaves for plates. but
they now generally have European plates.
As rule, they eat Immediately from the
hand, which is previously washed in

pose. The nice point in eating consists
in not allowing the finger-tips to touch
the lips, but in letting the rice drop from

gust before tits given to the mouth.-Dr.

Tad LincOln's Fast.Day Picnic.

If there was ever boy in danger Of
being spoiled it was the youngest son
of President Lincoln. Much of the time
it was impossible that he should not be
left to run at large. He was fooiishly
caressed and petted by people who
wanted favors of his father, and who
took this way of making a friend in the
family, as they thought; and he was liv-
ing in the midst of most exciting epoch
in the country's history when a boy in
the White House was in a strange and
somewhat unnatural atmosphere. But
am bound to say that Tad, although he
doubtless had his wits sharpened by
being in such strange surroundings, was
never anything else, while knew him,
but a boisterous, rollicking and abso-
solutely real boy.
Great was Tad's curiosity, in 1864, to
know what was meant by the Presidents
proclamation for a day of fasting and
prayer. His inquiries were not salts
factorily answered, but from the servants
he learned. to his great dismay. that
there would be nothing eaten in the
White House from sunrise to sun
set on Fast Day. The boy, who
was blessed with vigorous APP
petite, took measures to escape
from the rigors of the day. Ithappened
that, just before Fast Day came, the fam
ily carriage was brought out of its house
to be cleaned and put in order. Tad
stood by, with feelings of alarm, while a
general overhauling of the vehicle went
on. the coachman busting, rubbing and
pulling things about, quite unconscious
of Tad's anxious watch on the proceed
ings. Prett; soon, drawing out a queer
looking bundle from one of the boxes
under the seat, the man brought to light
a part of loaf of bread, some bits of
cold meat, and various other fragments
of food from the larder. Tad, now ready
to burst with anger and disappointment,
cried: 80! oh! give that up, say!
That's my Fast Day picnicr' The poor
lad, from dread of going hungry, had
cautiously hidden, from day to day, a
portion of food against the day of fast
ing, and had stood by while his hoard
was in danger. hoping that it might es-
cape the eyes of the servants.
He was consoled by promise from
his mother, to whom he ran with his tale
of woe, that he should not suffer hunger
on Fast Day, even though his father, the
President, had proclaimed day of fast
ing, humiliation and prayer for all the
people. Brooks. in st. Nicholas.

ireparing Bees for Winter.

The first step is to be certain that the
colonies are all strong in numbers; if
they are not. it is better to unite the
weaker until all are strong. Next, the
amount and character of the stores for
winter should be looked after. A strong
colony of bees, wintered out-of-doors.
seldom consumes more than twenty
five pounds of honey. but, to be on the
safe side, it is better to allow it thirty
pounds. 1t is better that the honey be
early gathered. we'll ripened, and nice
ly sealed over. Some apiarists think
that an excess Of pollen in the combs
sometimes leads to dysentery or bee
cholera. hence it will be just as well.
and perhaps better. in preparing bees
for winter, to leave out those combs
that contain the most pollen. If from
any cause it is suspected that the hOney
is not suitable for winter stores, then it
should be extracted and the bees fed
coffee A sugar made into sirup by
pouring gallon of boiling water upon
twenty pounds of sugar. This amount
of sugar ought to be sufficient to carry
colony of bees through the winter.
The feeding ought to be done early
enough for the bees to get it sealed over
before cold weather sets in.
One CT two holes should be made
through each comb, near the top, thus
affordiDg the bees passage-way from
comb to comb in cold weather.
Bees wintered out-of-doors ought to
have some protection. A very good
plan is as follows: First, make a
sort of box or small pen around the
hive by driving down stakes and nail
ing boards to them. The space be-
tween the hives and boards, which
should be about one foot, should be
filed with dry chaff or saw-dust, piling
it on top of the hive also, and then the
whole should be covered with roof of
boards. Before putting in the chat or
saw-dust passage-way of boards
should be made from the entrance of
the hive to the outside of the inclosure,
thus enabling the bees to fly out when
ever the weather is such that they can.
In very cold weather, this passage
might be filled with straw.
But in our Northern climate there is,
perhaps. no better place for wintering
bees than a good, dry cellar. 1t would
be better if the cellar were furnished
with pure air through six-inch tube
extending two or three rods from the
cellar. and several feet below the sur
face of the ground. By admitting the
air in this manner, it would be warmed
somewhat before entering the cellar.
The impure Cir can be removed from
the cellart Cunning pipe. to within a
few inchey Of the cellar bottom, and
connecting the upper end with the
kitchen stove-pipe. A part of the eel
lar should be partitioned of separately
for the bees, SO that they may remain
in perfect darkness, and be undis-
turbed.
During the january thaw" it will.
perhaps, be advisable to carry the bees
out of doors and allow them to fly,
when they should be returned to the
cellar and left undsturbed until the
soft naples are in blossom. Some of
our best apiarists. however, do not re.
move their bees from the cellar during
the whole winter.-COr. Rural NeW
