THE CATFISH AND HER KITTENS.

A Mr.. Hubbard, bay fisherman,
says that late in the spring you will
often see a school of about fifty small
catfish, not more than quarter of
an inch in length, very near the
shore, and if you look ten or twelve
feet further out you will see the
mother Scat" IF noise is made
she will make sign that the little
"cats" understand as well as chick
ems do the cluck of an old hen when
hawk is in the neighborhood, and
will run into the open mouth of the
old catfish, who will then turn and
swim off in safety with her young.
Mr.. Thomas Davis, of this city, some
time ago told us that he had noticed
this care of mother catfish for her
young. He said that he has often
seen the young fish swimming about
in the shallow water, while the old
fish would not be far off. If danger
threatened, the old "catty" would
rush in among her young, and by
vigorous motion of her fins stir up
the mud until the water became dis
colored and the young fish could no
longer be seen. When the water
would become clear again neither
old nor young fish would be visible.

Eighteen years ago the first dia-
mond was found by Europeans in
what are now known as the South
African diamond fields. 1t was the
favorite toy of a little Boer girl, which
she had picked out from among the
roots of an old tree. Since that time
the diamond trade of the world has
been revolutionized, the all-around
price per caret has fallen from SIS to
50 %, while the annual production
has increased from about S250,000 an
nually from Brazil to S20,000,00O
worth from South Africa. A letter
published in the London Times, Just
at hand, from Kimberly, South Afri.
ca, shows that no less than $1,000.
600 is annually paid out in that town
alone in wages for diamond digging
And from this mining oasis in the
agricultural desert has been sent il
the last fifteen years something like
s200,000,000 worth of diamonds il
the rough, which, with the cost o
cutting, setting and selling, mus
have taken from the pockets of con
sumers a sum not far short of $500,
100000.

he cried to a tall Yankee companion
who had been fighting by his side.
The Yankee caught the wounded
soldier up, and as has he was about
to put him across his shoulder anoth-
er cannon ball carried away the poor
fellows head. The Yankee, however,
in the confusion did not notice this,
but proceeded with his burden to-
wards the rear. "What are you car
rying this thing for 2" cried the officer.
Thing. !" returned the Yankee ''it's
man with his leg shot off" "Why,
he hasn't any head p cried the officer.
The Yankee looked at his load, and
for the first time saw that what the of
fcer said was true. Throwing down

A Grateful Mother,

My little boy when only two years
old had what was said to be stroke
of paralysis, affecting his right limb,
and for many months he could not
walk. His health became exceeding
ly feeble. No one dreamed he would
ever recover from his misfortune, and
hope had left my own heart of ever
rearing him to manhood. Finally he
commenced to use his limbs little,
but the ankle joint had become impo-
tent, and in attempting to walk his
foot would turn to one side, and the
ankle bone would touch the floor.
With that anguish which only a
mother can feel, | first realized he
was to be cripple all his life. With
the aid of steel ankle brace he was
enabled to get around the house.
His health was completely shattered, .
and with an aching heart and gravest
apprehension | watched the livid ex-
preston of countenance and splotch-
es ON his face that would come and
90. What widowed mothers affec-
ton conld do was done, but with lit
tie permanent benefit. Being assur-
ed by friends that Swift's Specific
would do him good, through their
kindness l secured several bottles.
| commenced to give it to my child
about the first of July 1883. The
first bottle acted like a charm upon
his system. After taking the second
bottle his complexion cleared up and
strength began to increase. He
threw away his braces several months
ago, and now walks better than he
ever did with it. The ankle joint
has regained its strength and the
foot its proper position, and the large
lump on the ankle, caused by fric-
ton and unnatural use, has disap-
peared. He is now in his sixth year:
his health is as good and he is as live
ly as any child of his age. He has
taken six bottles of S. S. S. only, but
the change has been wonderful, and
everybody who had seen him before
he commenced to take the medicine
are astonished at his appearance now.
For the first time since his illness |
feel in my heart the hope of rearing
him. With devout gratitude to Him
who gave him, l bless the day l ever
heard of this remedy. 1t has saved
to me my child.

MORAL COURAGE.

That was noble reply when the
Sultan of Turkey offered Kossuth
wealth and power if he would en-
brace the Moslem faith: "Welcome,
if need be, the ak or the gibbet; but
curses on the tongue that dares to
make to me so infamous a proposal"
He was a refugee in the domains of
the Sultan, and to refuse compliance
with his wishes might be death but
the great Hungarian had resolved
that come what might, his conscience
should be free. The words of Twin
gle, when emolument was offered
him if he would adhere to the Rom
ish tenets, were as noble: "Do not
think that for any money | will sup

USE THE BRUSH ON THE COWS.

But few farmers ever think is nee
essary that a COW should be brushed.
We have seen neighbors laugh and
ridicule what they called our over
niceness and business, when the cows
were curried and brushed twice day,
with as much care as was given. to the
horse. What curry a COW? Never
hearn tell of such thing" But a
COW needs it, even more than a horse
and for several reasons. 4 COW,
whose milk is used for food, unless
she have perfectly clean skin, can
not give clean milk, and then the but
ter will be bad. The skin should be
in perfectly healthful condition, and
the blood pure, or the milk will be i'm
pure and unhealthful, and the butter
or cheese will be tainted. Neither
cleanliness nor unhealthfulness can
be secured without regular brushing
of the skin and the removal of all the
filth which will gather upon ill-kept
cows. This should be done before
the COWS are MIXED, both morning
and evening. The morning cleaning
should be thorough one; a simple
brushing, to remove dust and loose
hairs, will be sufficient for the even
ing. 1t will help very much, for both
horses and cows to have the stables
so foored that the animals can be
kept from fouling themselves
