The Nest of the Cody People is the
name of a Russian religious sect that has
come into existence within the last tf-
teen years at Bender, in the government
of Be sarab!a. The name comes from the
fact that the members of this sect, who
are all peasants, dig gave in the
earthen floor of their hab!tations, or else
in their gardens, and lie therein until
overcome by hunger. in order, as they
say, to commune with God, to confess
to him their sins, and examine their past
life. To enable them the better to do

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Rcets az Feed for stock.

The beet in it, general properties, re-
sembles the turnip, but mas larger
per cent. Of solid matter, anil generally
contains more sugar. The principal
objection to raising beets for feeding
stock is the large amount of hand labor
required in the early stage of their
growth. Beets will not endure frost
quite as well as turnips, and therefore
they shonld BIS gathered and stored
somewhat earlier. They may be kept
in cellar, but if the cellar is very dry
they are liable to wilt and become tough.
This may be remedied by occasionally
spr!nkling them with water. Bcets keep
well covered with earth, but this method
is inconvenient in severe freezes. The
roots may be deeply covered with straw
in the bern or under any shelter, and be
kept well. In feeding, the roots should
be cut so that cattle can eat them con
veniently. This can best be done by
slicing them on an old fashioned cutting
box. They may be fed alone, or with
bran or meal. - IndiGLa Farmer.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

For age and want save while you may.
No morning sun lasts whole day.
He who wants to do q great deal of
good at once will never do anything.
Pleasant roads make pleasant drives.
Pleasant thoughts make pleasant lives.
Humor is the smiling pathos of the
heart as wit is the laughing deviltry of
it.
Life becomes useless a1d insipid
when we have no longer friends or enc
mics.
Put down as soon as possible every
sum which you receive or pay; and trust
not to your memory.
The knowledge drawn from experience
Is ofquite another kind from that which
flows from speculation or discourse.
Chivalry is not confined to the rela-
ton OF the sexes. 1t is sentiment
which should rightly inspire all who are
highly favored in any respect toward
those who are less fortunate.
A mans best help is himself, his own
heart, his rcsolute purpose-it cannot be
done by proxy. A mans mind may be
aroused by another, but he must mold
his own character. What if man fails
in one thing Let him try again-he
must quarry his own nature. Let him
try hard, and try again, for he does not
know what he can do till he tries.

Treatment OF Hogs.

Hogs are too often treated, from birth
to Strengthening. as if they had no rights
that their owners were bounl to respect.
The street hog is king compared to
many that are kept IN pens, for the
street hog has az opportunity to keep
clean and to breathe as pure air as does
his owner. The hog, as he is often kept
by respectable, well meaning people, is
very badly abused. lie is kept in
small pen in the open air. exposed to
hot sun, cold wind, and driving rain
and snow.
We have seen many pens the past
summer, and they can be seen every
day in the year by those who will look
for them, where the soft mud and filth
foot deep extended over the whole
area, so there was not so much as a sin
gle dry straw to sleep on. The hogs
must sleep in water and eat in soft mud,
made not only filthy but poisonous by
their own accretions. In such pens
farmers often throw ears of corn to be
eaten in the mud, and then when the
animals become sick from exposure to
cold or wet, or poisoned by their filthy
food the owners wonder what made
them sick.
The hog in his general make up is said
to be more like man than any other ami
NAL. 1t is certain that human beings
are sometimes met with who are much
dirtier than hogs ought to be, and in
other respects comparisons might be
made that would bring little discredit to
the four legged animal. The hog if left
wholly to himself is a very clearly dis
posed creature. lie likes grass, fresh
fruit and grain very much better than
he likes these things after they are half
spoiled by decay. In the open field he
keeps his feeding place and sleeping
place free from filth. He takes cod and
gets fevers under precisely the same
conditions that would bring a cold or
fever into the family Of his owner, and
is subject to contagious diseases that
alice. him very much as other conta-
glous diseases affect man.
lie has to rough it, and like man he
grows in degree tough and hardy by
such roughing. But there is a limit to
his endurance and hardness. As
money producing animal it would pay to
treat the hog very much better than the
average hog is usually treated. First of
all, hog confined in a small pen should
have at all times clean, dry places to eat
and to sleep in. No animal is ever gain
ing protitably to its keeper when that
animal Is bodily or mentally uncomlort.

What's u "iOrl!"

Colonel Jack W. of the Coufed-
eracy, relates the New Orleans Repujliean,
tells II good story of sergeant in his
own regiment, the TIL Texas Cavalry,
which occurred during the late war.
Sergeant Wiley was 4 llnk, gawky, but
impulsivc son of the Lone Star State {;
worth,ss NJ d soldier, and still worse as
a non. commissioned officer, he neverthe-
less was enabled to maintain his grade,
owing to pecul ar tact which he pos
sesscd of procuring forage when all
others would fail. One wet morning he
appeared with long face before his
cooners tent and grrmbled something
against the sergcant-major of his regi-
ment, which the colonel finally under
stood to lie a complaint that Wiley had
been put Oh picket duty out of his turn.
The story seemed so plausible when it
was clearly placed before the colonel
that the sergeant jor was summoned
to the tent, and in n few minutes it was
agreed that an unintcntional injustice
had been done to Wiley, and the party
separated.
"Nevcr mind, Wiley" said the SER
geant- major, as they walked oil to-
gcthcr, when your turn comes
again you shall be excused from
duty"
That's well enough" grumbled
Wiley, ''but it mayn't be a wet
night.
THAT does not matter, Wiley again
said the scrgeant-major. "When the war
is over this little trial will lie counted
another laurel for you"

straight for the colonels tent, where,
without preliminary, he apostrophized
him in a twangy voice:
"kernel," he said, whats lorl2'
"a WHAT asked Colonel w.
"a lorlt" again asked Wiley IN a
louder tone,
ga what?'
"What's lorl2" this time fairly shrieked
Wiley.
Colonel W. was now nearly out of
patience. being as little informed as be-
fore on the lori subject.
"Willey," said the colonel, "if you
will only tell me who uttered that word
in your presence, and under what cir
cumstances it was uttered-if you tell me
something that occurred, l may be able
to enlighten you
Wiley then explained how it was that
the sergeant major had spoken of the
laurels.

Romans returned triumphant from the
wars, their brows We're crowned with
leaves of laurels, which are synonyms OF

Wiley slowly crcpt away, apparently
understanding the situation less than
ever. In due course Of time, one dark
cold, rainy night, while Wiley was
snoring vigorously, he was awakened
from his sleep and ordered to 60 on
picket duty with squad of men. In Il
few minutes he mad hitched up mis-
clothes, and rushing out of his tent,
yelled out frantically to his men:

In Mexico, where courtship is matter
of great difficulty except under the
rarest circumstances, the signing swain
reads the words for which his heart hun

Washington Society.

The charm OF Washington society is
that it is not founded on wealth. Rear
admirais laid up in ordinary, ma iors
and colonies, spawned, broken winded,
ana condemned as unfit for service drift
there with large families and small IN
comes. and are amazed and delighted to
ind that they are socially of conse-
quence. They supply the great wait of
American society-men of sense who are
men of leisure. Then come Senators,
Representatives, and large official and
diplomatic contingent, who are of i'm
portance whether they have money or
not. Indeed, the little diplomatic spligs
can hardly make the r wages pay for
their clothes. and they would never have
anything to eat if, at their own and other
legations and at private houses, they
were not invited to dinner often. Thus,
the rich people who come here find
the doors of good society open to some
other talsman than mere money. But
although broad is the way and wide is
the gate that leads to good society, yet
there is a,limit. 1t was one of the worst
solecisms in Mrs. BurEetts novel,
Through One Administration. that a
little government clerk had the entrance
into the best houses. The line is drawn
sharply at government clerks. 1t is
true, the state department clerks assume
that they are made out of different
kind OF clay from those in the other de-
partmenJs, but the civil service business
has ratified them up considerably. Of
course, there are some clerks with social
and family connections cnonph to give
them a socid! status, but it is rather in
spite of than by favor of their employ
ment.---irgonaM.
