Infamous HOaXeS.

Hoaxes as a rule are hateful things
which exhibit maliciors2ess rather
than the intellect of their perpetrators
A writer in a recent magazine mentions
two conspicuous for their malignity:
A young couple about to be married
at the synagogue in Birmingham were
startled by the delivery of telegram
from London running:
stop marriage at once. His wife
and children have arrived in London
and will come on to Birmingham
The bride tainted; the bridegroom
protested against being summarily pro-
vided with a wife and family, but had
to make the best of his way, single
man still, through an exasperated
crowd, full of sympathy for the wrong
ed girl. Her friends found upon in
quiry that they had been duped-prob-
ably by revengeful rival of the man
whose happiness had been so unex6
pectedly deferred.
A more curious and more malignant
hoax-for the perpetratiOn of which
the author, if discovered, would have
been branded with infamy-was prac-
ticed, apparently "for the fun of the
thing" upon Partisan lady whose
husband had gone to China on bust
ness. One day she received letter.
dated from Old China street, Canton.
MADAME said the writer, 81 have
to announce a mournful event. Your
husband, taken prisoner by Malay
pirates, has been burned alive and his
bones calcined opowder. Ihave been
able to procure but few pinches of
this powder. which I enclose"
AS she opened the box, strange
idea came into the head of the distract
ed widow; and sending for some snuff,
she mixed the powder with it, piously
determined to inhale all that remained
of her lost spouse. The first pinch,
however, brought on such violent
bleeding, that doctor had to be called
in; but the lady died in a few hours,
shortly before the arrival of a letter
from her husband, proving that the
story of his capture and calcination
was the cruel invention of some un-
Known enemy.

The Prairie Farmer calls attention
to the fact that several kinds of hard.
wood lumber are gradually coming
into use, which few years ago were
unnoticed. Beech is one of them. 1t
is cheap and abundant, while the more
popular hardwoods are becoming COM
paratively scarce and consequently
high-priced. Beech has a fine grain, is
quite durable, and is used in the manu-
facture Of school and church furniture,
chairs, and to certain extent in fur
niture. The red variety has hand
some appearance. and can be made to
initiate cherry.

"By what authority do you claim
these men ?" asked Sheriff Francis.
Captain Palmer, in clear voice
which rang out loudly, answered:
"In the name of the vigilanteS.'
Then, 10y the authority in me
vested, as sheriff of the county, | re-
fuse to give them up" quietly but
firmly answered sheriff Francis.
Captain Palmer deliberately drew
his watch frem his pocket, and looking
steadily at the minute hand, said:
"Mr. Sheriff, will give you just five
minutes to retire from the front of that
Jail with your deputies; if you stand
there one second over the five minutes,
l will blow you, your deputies, and the
front of the jail to destruction"
He held his watch steadily in one
hand, and with the other lighted Il fuse
and held it over the cannon. For
about four minutes it wa' still rs
| death-nOt man on either side moved.
Palmer and Francis stood facing each
other about ten feet apart; their faces
were white as marble, but not a mus
| Gle moved. Both men were giants in
stature, and brave as lions. But the
sacrifice of one Of those lives for the
| four cut-thrOatS was too much, and
Francis waved his hand, and his dcpu
ties stood one side, and he walked up
to Captain Palmer and handed him
his rifle. After the sheriff and his
deputies were put under guard, the
four murderers were taken from their
cells and led upon the scaffold.
They were blindfolded, and a moose
hastily placed about their necls. Mas
terSOn stood on the left, large, pow
erful man, about forty years old; next
to him, on the right, stood Daily, a
man of medium size. about thirty years
old. a miserable wretch who stated in
Jail, just before he was hanged, that he
had killed two persons besides john
son, and one of them was child.
Three-hngerel Jack stood on Daily'S
right; he was man of small stature
about thirty-tive years old, dark com
plexion, and black, piercing eyes. He
looked truly the bandit that he was.
Buckley stood on the extreme right;
he was small, slender youth, of about
twenty years. He asked to have the
bandage taken from his eyes. 1t was
! done, and he wrote Il few words TO his
mother, and handing it to a friend,
said, with a smile to the eXecutioner:
"NOw l am ready; you can cut the
rope"
Masterson and Buckley died bravely.
but Daily and Three-fngered Jack died
like cowardly ours. Both attempted
suicide on the scaffold. Daily swal-

Jack suddenly drew derringer pistol
from his boot leg, and putting it to his
head, drew the trigger. But it snapped.
He threw it on the scaffold, and uttered
a wild cry, saying:

In less than half an hour after the
four men were taken from their cells
over six hundred men, armed with
repeating rifles, surrounded the gallows
in close order, to prevent any attempt
ed rescue of the prisoners, as it was
said large force of roughs were COM
ing from Washoe to save the culprits.
Captain Palmer gave the signal to the
four eXc2utioners by waving his sword.
At that signal a gun was fired on the
opposite hill, and the four murderers
were launched into eternity. y.-Argo-

A Baby's Death


The little hand that never sought
Earth's prizes, worthless oil as sands,
What gilt has death, Gods servant brought
The little hands2
We ask; but love self-silent stands,
Love, that lend eyes and wings TO thought
To search where deaths dim heaven expands.
Ere this perchance, though love know nanght,
Flowers fill them, grown in lovelier lands,
Where hands of guiding angels caught
The little hands.

VALUE OF BIRDS TO THE FARMER.
Regarding the value of birds to
the farmer, Prof. Stesrns, in a paper
read before the Connecticut State
Beard Of agriculture, states that a
youug robin in the mes. requires a
daily supply Of food more than
equivalent to lis own weight. The
swallow are the natural enemies of
the n,idges and similar small insects
that prey on grain 1t is estimated
that in three weeks the nastliug OF
q sj3sle pair of awalows will consume
half million insects Blue birds
protect fruit trees from iosects.
Iae king bird Is strictly insectivor-
oas aud q grea: protector. The
wren can be induced to remain near
houses if suitable boxes are provided
and they war without ceasing upon
caterpiIIsrs.

of the soil and as the brightest pods
always bring the most moo0v, - the

harvested they are perfectly clean,

will follow any hoed crop to advan~

What a suicidal, ruinous policy

prosper when he pays four times
as much interest for provisions on
time, than he could borrow money
for ?

IL certain that the farmer who
raises bis cwn grain, sugar cane, po'

make money. and get rich at farm

man can make a living who has to
come to the otores and buy corn at

farmer often gives Corn can be
grown on the farm at less expense
than the cost of going to town after
the grain, even if the merchant were

Winter Care Of Live Stock.

1t is absolute economy to provide
warm and comfortable winter quarters
for all live stock, with an ample supply
of pure fresh air. When animals are
housed in well-made barns and stables,
they require much less food to keep
them in a good condition. Lumber, in
this form, is cheaper than hay and grain
for wintering farm stock. Pure water
in abundance is very needfnl for the
health of the animals. 1t should be
drank fresh from the well. If left in
the trough to freeze, it soon becomes as
cold as ice water, and when taken into
the animal system. it requires much
heat of the body to bring it up to the re-
quired temperature. Avoid as far as
possible having the watering troughs
partly filled W th ice and snow. They
may be made so as to turn over whe1
not in use, and this keeps them clean
and free from the chilling ice
Live stock should be fed regularly.
Even il not generously fed, this regular.
ity is better than an excess for few
DAYS, and then a lack of food for time.
Animals are never contented when
hungry, and they should not be permit
ted tn thus become uneasy. The dam
age done bv one omitted feeding can
not be made good by double ration
afterwards. This slip-shod method OF
feeding is quite sure to bring disorder
into the flock or stable.
An idle team may be wintered upon
good hay alone, but when lightly
worked. little grain at noon may be
needed. They are to. be kept in good
health and flesh, and the amount of
grain should be governed accordingly.
Horses doing heavy work will need a
few quarts of ground oats and corn
daily, in addition TO an abundance of
the best hay. Young colts should have
excellent care. for their future useful
ness depends largely upon the growth
they make the first winter. Linseed oil
cake in small doses is one of the best
remedies for costiveness in the young
farm animals.
As the weather becomes coll the
COWS will fall off in milk unless an
s5undance of nutritious food is provid-
ed in the stalls Beets cut or pulped.
and mixed with cut hay, to which corn
meaf fssedded, make AN excellent "a
lion fol. mich COWS. 1t is Of the great
est importance {, keep up the flow of
milk at the beginning OF winter. Calves
and yearlings may be kept in roomy
sheds where. with good feed and abund-
ant litter. they will make a large
amount of excellent manure before
spring.
Sheep should be kept from the lambs.
or they will crowd and rob the young
stock. The fockrnay take Il run on the
stubble fields during warm days. The
ticks should all be killed before mid
winter. Boys may be paid. by the
dozen, for picking them off the sheep.
Breeding. ewes to have early mutton
lambs, should be kept in separate
yard and shed, where they may have
the most generous feeding. -Aniertcdn
