FARM. GARDEN AND HOME.
Contentnsnt.

Once on time an old red hen
When strutting round witho pompus clueks
For she had little babies ten
part of which were tiny ducks,
'''Tis very rare that hens, said she,
Have baby ducks as well as chicks
But possess, as you can see,
OF chickens four and ducklings six 70
A season later, this old hen
Appeared still cacklng of her luck,
For, though she boosted babies ten,
Not one of them was duck
IT'S well" she murmured, brOoding Ger
The little chicks of fieecy down
MY babies now will stay ashore,
And consequently, cannot drown!
The following spring the old red hen
Clicked Just as proudly as of yore-
But, 10 her babies were ducklings ten,
Instead OF chickens, as before
''Tis better" said the old red hen,
AS she surveyed her waddling brood,
"A little water now and then
Will surely do my darlngs goodr
But, oh, alas how very sad
When gentle spring rolled around again
The eggs eventuated bad,
And childlesS was the old red hen
Yet patiently she bore her woe,
And still she wore a cheerful air,
And said, Its best these things are so,
For babies are a dreadful care!"
| half suspect that many men,
And many, many women, too,
Could learn lessen from the hen
With foliage of vermilhOn hue;
She ne'er presumed to take offense
At any fate that might befall,
But meekly bowed to Providence
She was contented-that was all

The Judge and the Inu-Neepe-

From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal
Among the anecdotes of Judge Wal
ton Is the following: Early after his
first appointment he went to Alfred to
hold court, and called on Landlord
Berry, who offered him his best room
with proviso that after ex-Judge
Howard's arrival he would have to
put him in another room. "Well,
what room?" asked Judge Walton.
He was shown little z by den,
whereupon he told Berry that he
would take the best room, as Judge
Howard would not want it. "Why
not ?" asked Berry Because said
Judge Walton, Il shall adjourn the
court tomorrow to Saco." "Who
is going to take your place here? ~
asked Mr.. Berry, who was not quick
to take in the situation "HVhy, no
body" said Judge Walton. "a Judge
can't stay in town and hold court and
sleep IN the street; he must have a
room" "Oh, said Berry, II will see. "
be saw-and was conquered. Hetold
Judge Walton he could have his best
room. AT the end of the term Judge
Walton gave the landlord this advice:
Court week Is your harvest. II you
want long term and to make lots OF
money make the Judge just as COM
Portable as you can. He has powerto
break pthecourt just when he pleases;
but if he is made comfortable he will
stay just as long as he finds anything
to do"

Nobody Wants 1t.

From the Washington Republican,
1t is said that there is one office in
the gift of thegovernmentt that nobody
wants. 1t is the consulship at Monte
rey. Monterey is a good sized city, and
is ratherpleasant placeto lvein. But
the people there have never gotten
over Gen. Taylor's capture ofthe town
forty years ago. They do not realize
that the war is over, and hate Ameri-
cans as intensely as ever. About two
years ago they got mad, smashed in
the windows of the American Consul
ate and assaulted the vice consul a
Methodist preacher. To an able bodied
citizen, who likes excitement and plen-
ty OF it, Monterey offers an inviting
field.

Grasshoppers as Horse Feed.

A California farmer has discovered
by chance that grasshoppers make an
excellent feed for horses. As yet he
has not tried them in any prepared
way but simply turned his mustangs
out to grasshoppers, as it were. How
the horses catch the hoppers is not
stated but they are probably very
numerous in the Sacramento Valley.

The Mexican Law of Debt.

Under the Mexican law a creditor
can have a debtor arrested on the day
when the debt falls due. The prisoner
is chained to a post five days, and
guarded 10y an officer. At the end OF
the time, # the money isnotforthcom-
ing, the mans labor is sold to the gov
eminent for forty cents a day, for as
many days as will be necessary to dis
charge the obligation. The miserable
debt or is sent to the silver mines, where
he is chained to a gang of felons and
compelled to work underground. He
sleeps underground, and never sees
daylight again until he is restored to
freedom.

1t Looked Like Bagging.
from the New YORK SIM

From the New York sun.
Tuesday afternoon H. B. Herts &
Sons, dealers in antique furniture,
were moving from TAT Broadway to
241 Fifth Avenue. Before going home
at night, Edward Hudson of al East
Twelfth Street, one of the truckmen,
picked up piece of shabby-looking
goods s by 10 feet large His employ
ers missed available piece of tapestry
next morning, and made the liveliest
kind OF row about it. Hudson said
he had sold it for twenty-five cents to
John Reilly of 420 East Eleventh
Street. Morris A. Herts went over to
Mr.. Reilly's, and found he had cut the
stuff up for bagging. The police were
notified, and both Reilly and Hudson
were arrested. Mr.. Herts said the
article taken by Hudson was piece
OF tapestry made in Beauvais, in the
South OF France, nearly 500 years
ago. 1t had been in August Belmont's
house, and he would have purchased
1t for $500, only it was too large for
him. Mr.. Herts put the pieces together
before Justice German in Essex Mar
ket yesterday, and showed that they
made beautiful picture of a meeting
between Joseph and Potiphar.

Light from the Statue.

Instead of having lights streaming
from the diadem OF the Bartholdi fig.
ure, as was at first proposed, it is now
proposed tohave electric lights placed,
with strong rehectors, around the foot
OF the statue, casting very strong
light upon it, and thus giving it the
appearance during the night of a shin
ingstatue. Then agreat vertical beam
of light will spring from the uplifted

At the gateway also at one time dwelt
Thomas Osborne, the bookseller, who
gave S13, 900 for the books from the

Mechanism of Thunder-Storms.

The Investigation of thunder-storms
is, becoming more and more a. speciality
with scientific men. France has made
an important study of them for a. num-
Der of years. Bavaria and Belgium
have more recently taken them up, and
and in our Own country, as well as
elsewhere, considerable has been un-
dertaken in thisdirection.. In a recent
report by Lancaster on the famous
storms of 1879 ID Belgium the conclu-
sions previously announced there are
confirmed, namely that thunder-storms
occur only in the southeast quadrant of
the barometeric IMPRESSIONS or great
eyclonic storms that frequently sweep
across temperate latitudes. But there
still remains to beifound the actual
mechanism of thunder-storms, concern
ing which SO many opinions have been
put forth. 1t is thought that the mat
ter will probably remain in doubt until
settled by the same kind of investiga-
ton that demonstrated the inward
spiral path of cyclonio winds-synoptic
charts for stormy afternoon, with
hourly, or even half-hoarly. intervals.
and stations only mile sr two apart.

Her Mines and Cattle Raising Interests
Undisguised Savages.

Her Mines and Cattle Raising Interests
Undisguised Savages.
WASHINGTON, d. c., November 8. :
Governor Trittle, of Arizona, in his al
nual report, says: The development of the
mineral resources of Arizona demon.
strates that the Territory affords the
grandest mineral field in the country.
The yield of the present year will equal
that of 1884. Cattle-raising in the Ter
ritory is assuming an Importance second
only to mining. He thinks there are hall
a million head of cattle in the Territory
now. He recommends an appropriation
for the sinking of artesian wells, with q
view to the reclamation of sterile lands.
The population of Arizona is placed at
eighty thousand, and the value of assessed
property S25, 900, 900.
The Governor, in touching on the In
dian question, refers to "meddlesome
cranks and Eastern sentimentalists who
still believe in the mythical noble red
men OF Cooper's novels" The accepted
conclusion now, he says, is that the Ia.
dams of the Far West are either diseased,
filthy, n-producing vagabonds, or cruel,
treacherous beasts of prey in human
form. He recommends the removal of
the troublesome Apaches from the San
Carlos reservation to the Indian Terri
tory or some other suitable place, or
else the narrowing of the boundaries of
their present reservation, disarming and
placing them under military surveil-
ance
