Mr.. J. NJ. ID. Kelly, Clerk, and Jim Hew-
lit, Sheriff of Carroll county, came to Atlanta
and determined to call on Governor Stephens.
The hall door of the mansion was open, and
the visitors, noticing two men at the other
end of the ball, walked in. AS they passed the
threshold, they bowed and touched their hats
gracefully The men at the lower end did
the same.
"rhey motioned us to go in this paror,"
said Kelly, turning TO the right and walking
in. After sitting there awhile Hewett said !:
care you sure that fellow told us to come
in here?"
Yes" said Kelly, "but I'll go ask him
again"
AS Kelly walked out of the parlor door he
saw a man walking out of door on the
same side, at the other end of the hall.
Did you say go in ihere" Kelly asked,
reckoning back to the parlor. Instantly the
man at the other end beckoned back to the
parlor and Kelly reentercd it.

pointed to the parlor. They started back,
when Kelly stopped suddenly, gazed intent

Dangers of Running Upstairs.

New York physician thinks there is con-
nection between hastily ascending stairs and
heart disease. He says: "The greatest care
is necessary in this matter for people with
any heart trouble, either latent or developed
There certainly are among our business and
professional men many afflicted with some
form of heart trouble which has often been
induced by severe attacks of rheumatism or
kidney disease. ! have not known case of
heart disease which was attributable alone to
ascending stairs. OF course the first effect
of running or rapidly ascending is shortness
of breath. That means that the legs and arms
are moving quickly, while the motion of the
heart, not having caught up, is slower. So a
load of blood from the limbs is suddenly
thrown upon the heart before it begins to
move rapidly enough to dispose of it. This
undue burden suddenly put on the heart, and
the temporary congestion in the lungs, cause
imperfect action on their part, and we ex-
perience what is known as shortness ofbreath.
This is what every one has felt after running
up stairs to catch train. But if the heart is
perfectly sound, this exertion will not cause
disease. But persons with weak hearts
should go very carefully"

"Speed The PI0U."
Devon Cattle.

One who sees herd of Devons for the first
time is struck with their extraordinary beau
ty and uniformity, and sees at once that they
differ from every other breed or stock Of cat
tie with which he is acquainted. They are of
brilliant, rich mahogany red, without white
upon the body, but with white switches to
their tail, and frequently with white udders.
Though heavy in carcass they are light
limbed and the older COWS low-set, Their
heads are small and clean.cut, elegantly
placed and carried high, while they are
adorned with long, light, tapering white
horns, curving upward and outward. Their
Threats are clean withers thin necks free
from dewlaps chests very wide, and briskets
projecting and hung low. In girth they are
large for their height; very thick through the
heart, and unequalled in the crops, which
point carries the fullness of the shoulders
back to the ribs without perceptible dcprcs
sion. The backs are very level from the
wthers to the setting of the tails, which are
long and delicately tapered. The loins are
wide and muscular; the hips wide apart, the
back long to the rump, while the thighs are
long to the hooks, and in the twist well let
down, yet in the lower parts they are thin,
giving room between them for capacious
udders. The soft TANKS are usually very
low, giving the barrels o cylindrical, level
look upon the udder line. Devons are COM
monty heavily coated, and the hair is wavy,
if not positively curly, in many cases. The
skin is plastic and mellow under the touch,
even when the animal is in low condition,
but when in good order it is typicaly fine,
not thin and papery, but elastic and yielding
under the pressure of the finger tips, and Of
fering mobile, unctuous handful if grasped
over the ribs. The skin color varies, but not
a few show rich cream color, inclining to
orange under the forearm, and III the ears.
Add to this description that the legs are
short, small boned and clean, that the whole
carriage and style are elastic and graceful,
with promptness and energy rarely seen in
neat cattle, while the large, lively yet placid
and fearless eye indicates at once intelligence,
confidence and repose, and we have picture
of highbred, beautiful and useful race of
cattle, such as has no equal anywhere. The
oxen are much trained, very quick in their
movements, fast walkers and untiring work
ers. The cows are deep milkers-Americam

1t was one of those cold winter nights
when men wrap up warmly ere going out
and when women and little ones sit closely
about the fire. The sleet ratified against the
window panes and the wind howled along
the caves. Outside the shadows danced upon

trees waved and bent and tossed in the blast
A little woman's heart is sorely troubled, for
the parson has been called to attend diving

man is poorly clothed to meet the chilling
wind; she knows that his cough has been
worse than ever this winter, and the pain in
his chest more severe. She thinks of all this
and as she goes to the window and looks out
upon the dismal landscape, she utters short
prayer for her husband, who urges his tired
| bony horse toward home.
"Papa's come, papas come" cry the little

That night, when all is still in the little
parsonage, the parson touches his wife's
cheek with his cold hand, and, as she
awakens he whispers, softly:
| "Good little wife, this pain here in my
chest is suffocating me. No-don't stir, Pm

Pruning Grape Vines.

Persons who did not prune their out door
grape vines in November or December, can
do it any time during February. The ex-
cised portions should be cut up into pieces
from one foot to two feet in length accord.
ing as the buds might be best adapted to
planting, tied into bundles of one or two
dozens, and buried few inches under the
soil in q location whence the water would
drain off, or under an open shed. There they
would keep perfectly fresh and in full life un-
til planting time in the spring. After the
vines are pruned cut them loose from the
trellis and allow them to sprawl over the
ground, in which position they will stand
severe weather much better than if left fast
ened to the trells. In fact half hardy vines
can be saved sometimes by this arrangement,
as it is much warmer on than above the
ground. Besides, the snow will protect them.
But there is another advantage that is not
always thought of, which is that this hori-
zontal position of the grape vines will cause
them to sprout low down, almost to the
ground by which new, vigorous runners can
always be supplied, matter of great impor-
lance to regular growers.

A TIIRUSII'S SONG.

The fire burned low, the day was nearly ended,
And was sad at heart, and all alone
MY thoughts with pain and sorrow so were blend
ed
turned impatient with heart -wrung groan
10 the wide window, where, through small soft
rain,
sweet thrush raised its lovely liquid strain.
So am !, said |, vainly ever trying
To sing my songs through rain that always falls
Through night winds bleak that never stay their
signing,
Through such strife that all my soul appalls
There Is no room for me why should try
To sing at all, when surely must die?
The bird sang on, and through his stream of sing
seemed to hear him tell OF summertime;
The summer that pale spring is surely bringing
To bless us with its rosy perfumed cline,
And SO did forget my present woe
In thinking that this cold gray time will go.
The bird was SILENT and no more forever
Could distinguish him from all the rest
Such birds are all alike; how could sever
This one wild songster with the speckled breast
From that vast tribe whose songs are sung at eve
When daylight dies and mourners sadly grieve?
What did 1t matter? It's the song that fingers
Hid i'm the place that memory claims as his,
And none may tell when Times cold withered
fingers
May ope the shrine where that song surely is
The singer dies, but leaves behind the song,
The only thing that to him doth belong.
And so, oh, heart, when thou art sad and tired,
Stiil sing thy songs. Perchancc when thou art
One little word of hope, one thought inspired,
May still live on, cen though myself art fled.
And III all dies yet hast thou done thy best,
And so hast earned an everlasting rest.

Sowing Seeds Too Deep.

As a rule the majority of farmers SOW seeds
too deep, says an agricultural exchange
Small seeds need just enough covering to
give them moisture and darkness The soil
should be pressed on fine seeds, just enough
to exclude the light Especially should this
be done very carefully and slightly where
seeds are sown just before a rain. Many
seeds are lost and the reputation Of many
good honest seedsmen ruined in the estima
ton OF individuals because fine seed are sown
too deep and the soil is pressed down too
hard upon them. A great many farmers are
in much too great hurry 10 sow seeds early ;
they do not wait for the ground to get sufli-
GENTLY dry and warm. 1t is hard to give
general directions that will apply to all cases,
but as rule, the smaller the seed the lighter
should be the covering, and the finer should
be the soil in which they are sown.

Feeding Corn Ears TO Hogs.

In feeding corn ears to pigs it has been
found best TO soak or boil them thoroughly.
When potatoes are fed to pigs with corn in
the car, large saving will be made by cook
ing them together. The principal nutrimtnt
in the potatoes is the eighteen to twenty per
cent of starch they contain when these are
fed raw the starch cells are not broken, nor
are the granules burst, and so large portion
of them pass through the bowels undigested.
When cooked the starch cells and granules
burst open in similar manner to the grains
of popped corn, and then they become diges.
