Old Floyd Ireson.
REV. G.. O. Shinn.7

Rev. G. @. Shinn.
We have all read Whittier's story
Of Skipper Ireson, who is represented
as DESERVING a ship-wrecked crew, and
being tarred and feathered and then
driven through the streets of Marble
head for his inhumanity The facts
are, that as Ireson's schooner, the
Betty, was on her way home from
the fishing banks, in a storm, she
passed the schooner Active off Cape
Cod in a sinking condition. Ireson
called his crew together and consulted
with them as to what should be done.
They all declared that it was mad
ness to risk their own lives in an at
tempt to rescue the crew Of the Active
Ireson then wanted them to lie by the
wreck for the night, and then try to
save them, but the crew demurred,
and compelled him to make all sail
for home. When they reached Mar
blehead, fearing the Indignation OF
their brave neighbors, they agreed to
place all the blame upon the skipper,
and their story was believed.
resOn, however, after he had been
tarred and feathered and ridden
through the town and back again,
said to the men and boys: "You will
live to regret ali this" and they did
for the true story came out later, and
it is a pity the poet Whittier did not
know what the true story was ere his
graceful pen put in shape the wicked
lie as it was told by the cowardly
crew of the Betty.

African Forests.

In travelling through the great forests
of the Rocky Mountains, or of all the
Western States, the broken branches
and fallen trunks strewing the ground
breast high with all sorts of decaying
litter frequently make locomotion i'm
possible. To attempt to ride through
these Western forests, with their mesh
work Of interlocked branches and de-
caying trunks, is often out of theoues-
ton, and one has to dismount and
drag his horse after him as if he were
clambering through awoodyard. But
IN an African forest not fallen branch
Is seen. One is struck at first at a GER
tain clean look about the great forests
OF the interior, novel and unac-
cOuntable cleanness, as il the forest
bed were carefully swept and busted
daily by unseen elves. And so, indeed,
it is. Scavengers of a hundred kinds
removing decaying animal matter
from the carcass of the fallen elephant
to the broken wing of agnat- eating it
or carrying it out of sight and bury1ng
it in the deodorizing earth. And the
countless millions of termites perform
a similar function for the vegetable
world, making away with all plants
and trees, all stems, twigs and tissues,
the moment the finger OF decay strikes
the signal. Constantly in these woods
one comes across what appear to be
sticks and branches and bundles of
fagots, but when closely examined they
are seen to be mere casts in mud.

1.-THE Natural History of Gossip"

! A New York physician tells the Sun
of "beautiful and well-educated lady
of %, who was told about two years
ago that women would never be equal
to men intellectually because their
minds rested continually on trivial
| things. She insisted that the ordinary
conversation Of women was at least
equalto that of men, and at once COM
menced to collect material for a book
on the comparative intellectual power
of the sexes. In conversation with
women she notes how many times
such words as engagement, wedding
divorce funeral, etc., are used. She
observes how many speak of physi-
cal ills, family quarrels, jealousy, dress
and theater, or talk lightly about
their husbands. And how many re-
fer to matters of general literary or
scientific Importance. Her gentlemen
friends are watched, and their ideas
checked off in the same way; but the
men will, fear, render her statistics
useless, for those who know her weak
ness trump up all sorts of abstruse
subjects SO as to gain for their own
sex the credit of predominant ability.
When she visits me professionally she
asks such questions as: How many
men do you meet who always say
something about horses, dogs, guns or
billiards before they leaveyou What
percentage of mon talk about wine or
women about how many men do
you meet in year who never say any
thing about art, literature, science or
social problems?' DO men who talk
politics ever give careful, independent
thought to political subjects p To-day
she had written list of questions,
and left me in a condition much more
like lunacy than her own. As shewa
leaving my office she exclaimed
There, [ just left Mrs. HIS; she said
shopping" four times, and forgot to
put it down. Then she took out a.
gigantic memorandum book and made
her record. She will get well; her real
trouble is not of a mental character.
This summer she will 60 to France,
and, as she does not speak the Ian
guage, her fad will probably die out. l
said to her to-day that such prepos-
ferrous corkers as she asked in the way
of questions would not tend to make
her a popular member ofsociety. She
promptly produced her notebook and
put me down as a professional man
who used such a word as 'corker.' The
work is to be called the Natural His
tory of Gossip and will be a very
queer production.

The Mexican Scorpion.

The scorpion of Mexico is the lively
flea of the Northern sand hill, and the
mosquito Of the New Jersey marshes,
only his bite is little more so. He
becomes a hale and hearty grandpar-
ent in twenty-four hours after his own
birth, and he does not confne his
progeny to thefashionablelim limit. Turn
up a corner of the rug or the table
cloth and you disturb an interesting
family of them; pick up your shoes in
the morning and out they flop; in
short, every article must be treated
like a dose of medicine-''to be well
shaken before taken" The common
variety hereabout are about three
inches long, and the yellowish-brown
ones are considered the most poison

SO alarmingly numerous that tie au-

adults, according to the state of the
system.

ton possible this warm weather, and
keep out the flies with netting through
the day. Keep the atmosphere of the
stable pure and clean. Don't allow
the soaking filth to accumulate under
the stall floor to generate foul air for
good horse to breathe, and then
wonder why he has no appetite, no
vigor. Under drainage, with frequent
renewals of the soil, is essential to
cleanliness, unless clay has been well
pounded down under the floor. Give
horses plenty of outdoor exercise, the
run of a grass lot and generous work.
A WRITER in the Maine Farmer thus
expresses himself in regard to setting
fence-posts: cit has commonly been
stated that posts set top end in the
ground would last longer than when
set with the butt end down. We re-
Gently had occasion to remove a fence
which had been set eighteen years,
and to our surprise the posts set top
down were still strong and sound,
while many of those set the reverse

durability Of posts set in this way. If

DIR. PETER COLLIER, late chemist to
the Department of Agriculture, has
lately imported from various points
IN Asia, and from Natal, Africa, seven
ty-three distinct varieties of sorghum,
none Of which seems Identical with any
OF the many sorts already introduced
here. In those dry countries sorghum
is preferred to corn, because it's deep
roots enable it to grow we'll after once
getting a start, where maize would
parch up; and it's seed is considered
quite as nourishing and valuable as
that of maize. The value Of the stalk,
in addition, is being developed here by
superior mills and management.
CLEAN out the water tanks every
week. Insects multiply rapidly in
water standing during this hot weather.
When fed by wind mills and the stock
allowed to drink from the tank, ami
mails drink large quantities of these
water lice, tadpoles and other insects.
Even though the water may be clear,
1t may contain myriads of insects that
make good food for fish, but may not
be so healthy for horses and cattle.
Where the tank is large, q few German
carp fish may be proftably kept, and
with the addition of an occasional
handful of corn meal, will consume the
insects, purifying the water and fatten
and grow like pigs. A few big frogs will
answer like purpose.

.rN NAME
BY JENNIE COTTON.

Then father took the Bible down
And in his clear, old-faShiOned hand
Upon its record pages brown
He wrote the name as it should stand.
But protest came from all the rest
At giving such little fairy,
The dearest, sweetest and the best,
That Anticipated name to carry.
And aunts and second-cousins cry
a name so worn and ordinary
Could not be found if one should try,
AS that same appellation Mary.
And ole and Ger again they laud
Her yellow curls, her baby grace;
'Oh, call her 'Ethelind,' or Maud,
Or Christine for her angel face.
"But time will change this golden fleece
To match the eyes in dusky spIendor;
Far better name her Beatrice,
Or 'ImOgene, serene and tender.
ssOh, name the child for Aunt Louisa,
For she, good soul, is well-to-do,
The compliment is sure to please her,
And we can call the darling Lou"
Most prudent counsel, all too latel
'Twixt Malachi's and Matthew's pages
Appears, Interchangeable as fate,
The name beloved of all the ages.
The ancient gem, it's purity
Unspoiled shall grace our latest beauty
Sometime on dearer lips to be
The synonym of love and duty.
And gracious womanhood adorn,
However fortunes gifts may vary,
Till on day like Easter morn
She hears the Master call her MARY"

Origin Of Texas Cattle.
From the Chicago Tribune

from the chicago tribune.
That the cattle of Mexico and Texas
descended from the herds of old Spain
is almost universally believed. It is
thought that when those gentle and
pious worthless, the Spanish invaders,
brought their swords to America to
help make openings Tor the introduce
ton of saving grace and the sweet,
charitable teachings of the church mill
tant, they also brought cattle of the
herds of Andalusia. Some of them. it
is supposed, escaped, or were aban-
doned to roam and breed at freedom
on the sunny plains of the Rio Brovo
del Norte. The resemblance there is
between the picturesquely gothic An
dalusian bullock and the slabsided
and cat-hamed racer of the Southwest,
is considered good evidence, if not
proof positive, that they had a remote
common origin.
