When She Will, She WILL"

Il thought only few men were up
to the winter bathing mark" observed
the reporter. The bath man laughed
scornfully. when lady makes up
her mind to battle every day in the
year." he said, nothing can stand her
off. I've seen men who would come
here on cold mornings, undress and walk
to the waters edge. but the minute it
touched their toes, race back and get
into their clothes again. Not so with
women. When they are in bathing
trim it means bathing and nothing short
of tidal wave will stop them. Here
comes the daisy bather of the lot. I've
seen that girl here when it was so cold
that to even look at the water used to
give me the shakes. Now, what do you
think first induced that lady to battle
all the time9 For the pure love of it?
No. sir. She was getting too fat. She
tried everything-dieting. exercise and
medicine, but nothing would take her
down. At last she dropped on sea bath
ing, and it fetched her. She is nice
and slim now, though plump enough,
bnt when she came here first she was
az fat as a butter ball. l wish al the
fat ladies in the city would have her
courage, and our winter business would
be worth something."-San Frasetsco

Kill the Cut-Worm.

There is really but one way to save
the corn crop if the plants are once at
tackled by cut-worms -that is, to dig
the worms out and kill them. 1t is not
a difficult task. nor is it very costly.
We presume that fourth part of the
loss sustained would be the full equiva-
lent of all the labor it would cost to dig
up the cut-worms and kill them. The
worm does the mischief at night and
before morning burrows in the ground
near the spot where its depredations
have been committed. A practiced eve
readily discerns the entrance into the
hiding-place-a small, round hole into
which the worm has passed and lies
concealed. The way to bring the pest
up is to thrust pointed knife down'the
hole and lif: out the earth to the depth
of two or three inches. when the male
factor will lie exposed to view and can
be instantly destroyed We have
known of large fields being cleared by
this process at cost of labor so slight
as to bear no comparison with the loss
that would have otherwise resulted

Pumpkins for Cows.

Pumpkins are exceedingly nutritious,
considering the quality of the dry sub
stance. The water contained in them
is about lightweight per cent, and no
more than that contained in sugar-beets.
while the dry flesh IS very rich in sugar
and nirogenous matter. The seeds and
stringy matter are four times as nutri-
tious as is the flesh. There is popular
prejudice against feeding the seeds, but
It is baseless unless the seeds are given
in large quantities. as, for instance.
when they are thrown out altogether in
preparing pumpkins for drying. In
such case, and when thus given alone.
they have strong action upon the kid
news, and tend in consequence to reduce
the flow of milk. But when the whole
pumpkin is fed to cow the small guam
tity of seeds have no injurious effect
whatever. Pumpkins enrich the milk
eonsiderably.-M y. Times.

IDlENESS,

The caterpillar swings his airy thread
From of leaf of this far-spreading oak
That towers i'm solemn grandeur DER my
head:
Upon the leaves of my neglected book
a tiny spider, green and brown doth weave
His shining gossamer: the black ant hies
Across the rustic bench, his insect prize
With effort huge amid his store to leave;
From tawny speck to gorgeous butterfly
The insect world before my gaze doth lie:
And so cen Plutarch's self how can choose
A fiutter mid the branches, and my heart
Leaps with the life in that full chirp that
The brown, fuil-breasted sparrow with q dart
Is at my feet amid the swaying wreaths
OF grass and clover; trooping blsckbirds
With naughty step: the oriole, wren and
Revel amid the COOL green moss in play.
Of scarletcrested woodpecker from yon
Old Druid-hunting oak sends topping down
A ruined memory of ages past:
o life and deash-how blended to the last!
Far ND. the sailing wing of hawk or crow
Aliures me, while voice within my soul
Is whispering marvellous things; hidden
As if heard an inner funeral toll
Ger hopes and aspirations quite as dead
As this poor branch, conflicts with hope as
Which mounts beyond that atom in the sky,
Beyond the blue, and must with sun be fed.
A squirrel leaps from bough TO spray, now
skins
The gray old fence with acorns laden; chimes
The distant cow-beli. mingling with the call
OF laughing children as the apples fail.
So Plutarch's witcheries have been left to-
day
The lives and hopes and woes of men who
pressed
To honor's summit for the thoughts sweet
play,
And peace on music-throbbing Natures
breast
Borne inward O. er the souls mysterious chord,
The melodies of other worlds respond
Her anthems, sealing that far-ciIcling bond
Which clasps creation to creative Word.
1 close my book; my tangled spider free,
Musing on that unuttered unity;
And walk the homeward path, with daisies
pied,
In vague, sweet yearnings for the ''other

TOO QUICK ON THE TRIGGER
A Georgia Lawyer Who Changed His
Opinion of the Judge.

Oplnion OF the Judge.
In their day Judg 3 Christopher
Strong and Judge Edwatd Y. Hill were
considered very able lawyers. Judge
Hill was elected Judge when he was a
little over thirty years of age. There
was not at that time a Supreme Court
On one occasion Judge Hill rendered
a decision which attracted the attention
of Judge Strong. who was u good deal
older than Judge Hill, and who had
served on the bench. Judge Strong
took the liberty of addressing the Court
in very complimentary terms relative to
the decision.
Said Judge Strong: Il hope your
Honor will write out and have pub
lished for the benefit of the bar your
able exposition of the principles OF
law"
In the course of half hour after
wards Judge Strong had a case to argue
before the court, but upon nearly every
point he was overruled. The result
was he lost his case. The Judge was
very much out of humor, and in speak
ing of Judge Hill and the decisions in
his case, he said: This comes of hav-
ing these cussed young fools upon the
bench who do not know anything of
law"
But when reminded of the open
compliment he paid Judge Hill in court
the old Judge thought he was little
too quick upon the trigger.-Saranndh

HINDoO LAW.
A Remarkable Decision by an Indian Mag
istrate.

"A hemarkaDie DECISION Dy an lnulan Mag
istrate.
A Judgment was recently delivered in
the high court of Bombay, after trial
of fourteen days, which deserves more
than local notoriety. The Times OF
India says it is ''themost important case
that has been tried IN Western India
for many years" The claim was by
the son of a Hindoo millionaire, Sir
Munguldass Nuthoobhoy, and he de-
manded from his father a partition OF
all the family property and an equal
share The father refused the partition
and the son appealed to the high court.
The Judge who tried the case, Mr..
Justice Scott. following decisions of the
Privy Council, ruled that son who was
a member of Hindoo joint family had
an equal right with the father and an
equal share in the family property, and
could claim partition against the
fathers will at any time after majority.
The Judge pointed out that such claim
was reprObated as immoral by the an
cient writers, but still admitted as Just
by the highest authority in Bombay.
This seems an astonishing decision to
European minds, but the authorities
cited by the learned Judge show its alb
solute legality in HindOo law. At the
same time it has struck CONSERVATION
through the wealthy families of West
ern India. The rule. no doubt, is sur
vival of the primitive idea that the
family is an aggregate or collective
Int OF which all members have an
equal interest in the common property.
As the learned Judge pointed out, the
current of authority tends to overthrow
parental authority and to effect pain
full revolution in the family system
throughout Western Isdia. 1t was also
decided in The case that property that
was not family or ancestral property, but
self-acquired. could be devised by will
BY father to his son, and that the
property retained its self-acquired char
acter in the hands of the son. This
will considerably diminish the danger
that might arise from an unrestrained
exercise of the right now fully declared.
The case has been for long time the
subject of much discussion and great
anxiety in all native circles, and. al
though experts in Hindoo law agree in
the strict legality of the decision. there
is a general opinion that the altered
conditions of Hindoo society render leg
islation necessary on the subject. in
spite of the extended effect now given
to ths exercise of the testamentary
power.-LOnd0n Times.

SUMMER AND FALL BUTTER.
Directions as to the Manner of Packing
1.-THE Popular Prejudice.

Directions as to the Manner of Packing.
1.-THE Popular Prejudice.
The popular prejudice is decidedly in
favor of fresh made butter, many con-
sumers utterly rejecting packed butter,
no matter by what mode it has been
kept. The consequence is winter dairy
in is on the increase and the carrying
of large stocks of summer and fall but
ter to supply the winter demand on the
decrease. Dairymen with silOs and
plenty of roots report favorably on this
growing practice of selling butter as
soon as made and making winter butter
for winter use.
There remains, however, large class
who contrive to pack down summer and
fall butter, and from this class comes
annually the query as to the best
method. To these inquiries the follow
ing directions are given:
First, do not attempt to pack any but
prime article, and pack this as soon
as possible after working it. Second,
keep the package in cool. sweet, we'll
ventilated place, where the temperature
does not rise above sixty degrees.
Third, the butter to remain sweet, no
matter what the temperature, must be
preserved from contact with air. In
midwinter even butter soon deteriorates
in quality on being exposed to the air.
1t is a matter of small moment, there
fore, what is the shape. size or material
of the package, provided it be air and
water tight.
White oak pals, or firkins, are re-
gsrded as the preferred package.
These are best prepared by first soak
ing in boiling hot brine and afterwards
in cold brine. By this process the
flavor of the wood is extracted, and
the pores are so filled with salt as to
prevent the air from penetrating to the
butter. Some pack the butter to
within about four inches of the
top of the firkin and cover over
with brine. Others object to brined
butter because it so quickly spoils
after being removed from the
brine. This latter class pack their but
ter in tub prepared as has been de-
scribed; then cover the surface with
cotton cloth soaked in brine and covered
with layer of fine salt. Over this is
placed the cover of the tub, previously
soaked in brine.
For home use, or where there is
demand for roll butter, the butter can
be worked into small cylindical shapes.
each of which must be wrapped in
muslin cloths that have been wet in
brine. These wrapped rolls are then
closely packed on their ends SO as not
TO move about, and strong pickle poured
over them. Some of our butter makers
add sugar and saltpeter to the brine in
the following proportion: To three
gallons of brine strong enough to bear
an egg, add quarter of pound of
white sugar and one tablespoonful of salt
peter. Boil the brine, Ind when cold
strain it. 1t is always better, by the
way, to boil and strain,the brine whether
there be sugar in it or not. IN. Y.

STABLES IN SUMMER.
Necessity of Free Ventilation During tn,
Warm Season.

Necessity OF Free NentliatiOn DurinS the
Warm Season.
With most farmers considerable pains
is taken to make stables warm and
comfortable for stock in winter, and
this is as it should be; but there is an
other matter connected with stable
management, fully equal in Importance.
which is very sadly neglected, and that
is free ventilation in summer. Very
many stables upon farms and in viii
lagos are built of brick, or clapboarded
if made of wood, without windows, and
through the sultry nights of summer.
horses, and often cows, are kept con-
fined here, breathing the air con-
terminated by the ammonia which arises
from their own filth, and the effect of
this is loss of appetite, disease of the
lungs and decline of strength.
One-half the injury will not arise
from keeping a horse in . cold stable
during winter that will come from
close confinement in summer. for ami
mails were given robe to shield them
from cold; but no shield is given to
avert the serious effects of inhaling for
hours at time poisoned atmosphere.
Seine means should be devised to
give a free circulation of air through
the stable, if it has to be done by leay-
ing the barn doors open: and tho stalls
should be KEEP: clean and sweet by the
Use of saw-dust, straw or dry earth
We do not approve of using lime,
ashes, or anything of that kind, as a
purifier, for it is injurious to the hair
and skin of the animal
Where horses are made to stand upon
a plank floor. the stable is liable to be-
come very much more impure than
under other circumstances, for the
liquids will run through and form a
pool beneath, which will continually
send up a noxious Odor as strong as
hartshorn. To avert this. fill the cavity
below the floor with sods or loan, and
clean the same out two or three times
during the season. Thus large amount
of the very best of manure may be gain
ed, and the comfort of the animals
kept in the barn promoted
The Importance of cleaning the floor
of the stable often can not be too ear
nestly urged, for in hot weather the col-
lections here are alive with maggots in
few days, if left undisturbed, aud this
is positive proof of its unhealthfulness
and impurity. When the horse is Lot
in use. the stall should be renovated
morning and evening. -Rural World.
