COTTON SEED,

Prof. Myers, of the Mississippi Agri-
cultural college, says of cotton seed,
which until lately was a waste product
in the south: "There is no agricultural
product known to your speaker that has
a value equal to this in almost any place
you can put it. You may take it's bulls
and use them for cattle feed, for fertil.
izers, and for fuel. The kernel you may
use as feedstuff, fertilizer, or a sub
stance from which oil may may be OBJ
tanned. The oil is one of the best culin-
airy articles, is of exteniive use in phar-
macy, and of almost Unlimited applica-
ton to the arts. It makes little differ
ence whether you can buy it as butter,
or lard, as lubricating oil, or olive oil;
whether you can apply it as salve, a
pomade, or a soap; it is good and good
everywhere.

1t is sad to head off a magistrate be-
ing convicted of fraud, even though the
court was constrained to admit the
great ingenuity" with which the offense
had been committed.
The seat of justice has indeed before
now been occupied-and with credit
by men who had themselves made work
for the law; but their little Irregularities
bad usually been perpetrated before
their elevation to the bench.
Thus Aubrey tells of Chief Justice
Popham how "for several years he ad-
dicted himself but little to the study of
the laws, but to profigate company, and
was wont to take a purse with them.
His wife considered her and his con-
dition, and at last prevailed upon him
to lead another life and to stick to the
study of the law; which, upon her i'm
portunity, he did, being then about 80
years of age. He spoke to his wife to
provide very good entertainment for
his comrades to take his leave of then.
and after that day fell extremely hard
to his studies and profted exceedingly"
Pemberton first dreamed of being
chief justice when a prisoner in the
feet.
Holt was popularity reported to have
been ION the road" in his youth, and
when in middle age he inquired of a
former acquaintance after the members
of the old set, he is said to have received
the reply that "they had all been hanged
except his lordship" and the speaker
whom Sir John had q few hours pre-
viously sentenced to the same fate. But
once invested with the judicial charac-
ter q man should confine himself to such
peccadilloes as those of "a modern de-
ceased lord chancellor" who, according
to Lord Campbell, "was said to have col
lected very complete law library by
borrowing books from the bar which he
forgot to return"

Remarkable Dog ana Gun

Minneapolis Tribune.
A. B. Chamberlain, the famous nlmrod
of the northwest, has one of the most
peculiar dogs and guns in the country,
and both have attracted considerable at
tention from the sportsmen who have
been out with him on his hunting xpe
ditions to Dakota.
Major Phillips, of Nashville, Tenn,
wished to purchase it, but the only bar
gain he could make was an agreement
that when Mr.. Chamberlain went to the
happy hunting grounds, he would will
both to him.
AS they are both evenly matched in
years. it will be close thing as to who
shall be the final possessor.
The dog differs from other CANNES of
q similar breed on account of its length
of lip on the lower jaw, and of tongue.
This enables him to pick up Q bird by
catching it between the lip and tongue,
which does not mangle il, and more
than this, he Is enabled to carry several
birds 1t time. As Mr.. Chamberlain is
such fine shot, the latter advantage is
greatly to be appreciated.
Further investigation by the reporter
revealed the fact that the dog had scales

ger Of the Cheyenne & Arapahoe cattle
company, Gays that all of his cattle have
been removed and that the wire fence OF
his company is nearly all down. His
losses are very great, many of them
caused by the Indians stampeding the
cattle while they we're being driven out.
The firm of Evans & Hunter lost 800

The Indians were given to understand
that the cattlemen had no business
there and consequently did all the dam

Indians stole $50 head of horees near

you do not put stock on clean pasture
you need not give sulphur for they will
die anyhow. Hogs should be taken at
least quarter of mile from old pens,
or lime should be put on the ground
after the lots are scraped and burned.

No Choice Where There Was Copper.

outbreak of cholera in 1S49 that has
not been referred to in recent years."
a physician said recently. cit was
observed that no workmen engaged in
copper mines or in manufacturing any
sort of article out of copper, or in
handling copper ore was afflicted with
cholera. N. Andrand demonstrated
that there was much less electricity
in the air in those parts of Paris where
the cholera ragged most fearfully than
in the other parts of the city. The two
discoveries were put together, and it
was inferred that the galvanic action
generated by the copper acted as a
preventative. 1t may be that the cop

workmen served as an antidote. At
any rate. the action of copper in ale

Purifying Water With Alum.

Those of our readers who have
travelled On the Mississippi river know
how turbid the water is, and they may
have seen people tie a bit of alum to a
thread, let it down into a tumbler of
water, and swing it about a little, af-
ter which operation the liquid be-
m as clear as crystal. Recently
the matter has been carefully exam
ined into and reported upon by Profs.
P. T. Austen and F. A. Wilder, of
Rutgers college. In their experiments,
two-tenths of a grain to the liter Zone
and one-fifths grains to the gallon)

in the New Brunswick, N. j., water.
Double this quantity may well be used.
as a rule. This amount of alum is too
small to be perceptible to the taste, or
to exert any physiological action.
The alumun may be used in clarifying
water by filtration. If a very small
amount be added to turbid water it
can be filtered through ordinary pa
per without difficulty, and yields a
brilliantly clear f~iltrate, in which there
is no trace of suspended matter. 1t is
not necessary to let it stand before fill
t%ration, as the action of the alum is
immediate. The SIMPLEST form of fl
ter for considerable quantities of wat
Ell is a tube, one end of which is stuffed
with COTTON. a drain-pipe is the best,
as 1t can be SO easily cleansed. The
plug of cotton should be two or three
inches thick, and may be keptin place
by a ring of wood fitted into the bot
tom of the pipe. For household pur-
poses, a glass funnel may be used, or
a filter may be made by cutting off the
bottom of a glass flask or other bot
tie. The neck Of the funnel or bottle
is to be plugged with cotton, which
should first be worked in warm water
to remove the adhering air. and to wet
it well. 1t should be packed in qnite
closely, a little at a time, until it
forms a layer two or three inches
thick. To s accuracy in the
amount of alum used it is beste to
make a solution of half an ounce of
alum to a quart of water. Dissolve
the alum in a cup of boiling water,
pour this into a quart measure, and
fill up with cold water. Keep in a
properly labeled bottle. Fifty-four
drops of this solution, or a scant tea
spoonful will contain two and three
tenths grains of alum, which is the
quantity for a gallon of water. 1t is
not important to be very exact. as
twice the quantity would be harmless
enough. Analysis shows that the
water is not only clarified but purified
by this process. the greater part of the
organic matter being removed from
it.-Popular Science News.
