The Genius of American Women.

1t is noticeable that while American
women soar right into the masculine
atmosphere of mechanical and scienti-
fic research and invention, English
women are mostly content with what
is generally regarded by men us their
own particular sphere. While an
American woman invents the Burton
horses shoe machine, an EnglishwOman
takes out IL patent for an improved pea
soup; while Miss Mary E. Waltren
perfects system for deadening the
sound of elevated railroads, her English
sister, a governess, patents n register
ing label and means of attachment to
boots and shoes at hotels and other es-
Establishments while Mrs. A. H. Man
ming invents II new moving and reap
ing machine on your side of the water,
the English widow of bookseller reg
listers improvements for the manufac-
ture of bread Mrs. Mather, in the
United States, improves the deep-s
telescope, and Mrs. Jones, of England,
makes il compound sardine paste.

in Hayes pistol might have been fired
some other time than on the night in
question; thought somebody else
might have put the knuckles by Hayes

thought the case was too serious to be

be carried up.

ed law to show that witness had a
right to defend himself when attacked
that evidence showed that Hayes was
the aggressive party, that he fired the
first shot and that Hadley was COM
PEELED to shoot or be shot; Hayes
sought out respondent and followed
him up after he tried to escape; Hayes
was undoubtedly drunk all testimony
went to show that Hayes Character
was bad and respondents character

Mr.. Hoffman for respondent cOntin-
ued that he was personally responsible
for the difficulty caused by Hadley's
carrying Hayes wife away; that lie
was doing what he could to help an
abused woman; that according to
Tute's own evidence Hayes had been
on '.jubilee" on the evening of the
shooting.
The case was then closed by Judge |
Smith. After abiding to the repeated
threats that had been made by Hayes |
against the life of Hadley, he held that
no evidence had been introduced to
show that Hayes had reason for his
jealousy; that Hayes went to Ayers
for quarrel; that Hadley
went out first and started for his home,

the witnesses all substantially agreed
every person knowing to the facts had
been produced there was no more
conflict in testimony than would be
the natural outcome Ofmen describing
the same events from different stand
points. In view of these facts he felt
that Hadley was justified in defending
that no jury would convict
him of crime unless other evidence
than that presented could be procured;
the further trial Of the case wOnld in
vOlve expense to the state, would be
an injustice to the respondent, would
continue the publication of details that
would be mere repetitions of what had
been many times repeated and
that he should declare the act justifi-
able and acquit the respondent.

WIDOWS IN INDIA.

The following is an extract from a
letter of DR.. Shepherds, dated Cooley
pore, India, August 9, 1885: ga very
painful scene was enacted at the edge
of the lake, near our house, the other
day, which Mr.. Machines and l stood
watching for some time. The victim
was apparently young woman. Her
husband, who had died that morning,
had been carried from her house, and
was burning on the funeral pile, while
she, with her friends, and in charge of
two old BARRIERS wives, repaired to the
edge of the lake. The friends of the
newly made widow sat on the road,
inst under our back veranda, while
these two hays, the persOnificatiOn of
cruelty, dragged their reluctant victim
to the shores of the lake. l could see
that it was with difficulty they could
get the poor woman to come along.
The operation commenced by knock
ing Oft her ornaments, which were pu-
rified by water before they were given
to the second BARRIERS wife. | saw
myself one of these wretches take
stone and break some of the orna-
ments over the poor wOman's arm.
How this wretch glOated over the love-
ly black hair which hung i'm streaming
tresses far below her waist! 1t made
my blood boil to see how she gathered
it several times in her hand, us ifI
haunting the poor widow. She would
never have to- comb or dress it again.
1t was soon cut off, and flung away as
q polluted thing. Bereft of her bodice,
her hair and her ornaments, and clad
only with the fragments of an old chad
dar, or veil, the Mains or BARRIERS wives
left her for little to mourn alone and
to battle alone. When this was finish
ed, they clad her in the dark garments
of widOwhOOd, and led her away home
to life of lonely misery and trial, to
be looked on as IA curse to the house
hold, as the cause of her husbands
death, Us the butt for all the SCOTS and
jeers of the whole family. Poor Hin
doc women Your lot is certainly a
hard one. However, it is a satisfaction
to know that something is being done
to help you in many ways, and to
make your cherries and aimless life a
bright and happy One."-[Scotch U.

AN ANECDOTE OF WASHINGTON'S
BOYHOOD.

There is a story told of George
Washington's unfortunately
there are not many stOries-which is
to the point. His father had taken Il
great deal of pride in his blooded
horses, and his mother afterward took
great pains to keep the. stock pure.
She had several young horses that had
not yet been broken, aud one of them
in particular, Il sOrrel, was extremely
spirited. No one had been able to do
anything with it, and it was pronounce
ed thoroughly vicious, as people are
apt to pronounce horses which they
have not learned to master. George
was determined to ride this colt, and
told his companions that if they would
help him catch it, he would ride and
tame it.
Early in the morning they set out
for the pasture, where the boys man
aged to surround the sOrrel and then
to put a bit into its month. Washing
ton sprang on its back, the boys drop
ped the bride, and away flew the
angry animal. Its rider at once began
to command the horse resisted, back
ing about the field, rearing and plung-
ing. The boys became thoroughly
alarmed, but Washington kept his
seat, never once losing his self-cOntrOl
OF his mastery of the colt. The strug-
gle was a sharp one; when suddenly,
as if determined to rid itself of it's rid
er, the creature leaped into the air
with a tremendous bound. 1t was it's
last. The violence burst blood YES
sci, and the noble horse fell dead.
Before the boys could sufficiently re-
cover to consider how they should ex-
tricate themselves from the scrape,
they were called to breakfast and the
mistress of the house knowing that
they had been in the fields, began to
ask after her stock.
"Pray, young gentlemen" said she,
"have you seen my blOOded colts in
your rambles hope they are well
taken care of. My favorite, | am told,
is as large us his sire"
The boys looked at one another, and
no one liked to speak. OF course the
mother repeated her question.
"The sOrrel is dead, madam" said
her son. 81 killed him -
And then he told the whole story.
They say that his mother flushed with
anger, as her son often used to, and
then, like him, controlled herself, and
presently said, quietly:
alt is well but while | regret the
loss of my favorite, rejoice in my son
who always speaks the truth. "-[ Heze-
kiah ButterwOrth, in st. Nicholas for

gun had dropped into crevice in the
rocks and somehow both barrels had
been discharged into his body with in
stantly fatal effect. The snow had
been beaten down about the body by
the dog that returned from the chase
to whine over his master. 1t is prob
able that the young man had started a
fox and climbed the hill to get view
of the chase. In resting the gun on
the ground it slipped into a crevice in
the rock and was discharged. The
body torn by the terrible wounds had
lain on the snow three days.

Be systematic and regular in stock

now will stand the rough March wealth

stables even though the weather be
cold. Pure air stock must have.-DO
are expected. Corn produces fat and
makes fowls lazy.-Haul out as much
stable manure as you can on the sled.
All the work that can be done now for
spring is so much saved when busy
times come On.-HOrses will keep
easier and cheaper on cut feed than
any other way. Dat straw and hay
can be cut up together to good advan-
tage. Mix with bran or meal. Oats,
corn and rye ground together make
good feed.
When we speak of winter butter, we
refer to that white, crumbly, tallOwy
product so often found in the markets.
What causes it? Two things at least {:
First, the cows. Some cows assimilate
the Oleine element of food, and make
white butter. Such cows may be fat
and sleek, but there will be poor but
ter product any way from them. Such
COWS especially need oily food. Sec
Ond, the feed. This should be such as
to sustain animal warmth and provide
for further supply for butter produc-
ton. There is really no better winter
ration for stock, mich cows especially,
than finely ground corn meal mixed
nm With emf haV ar Oat straw and haU
Under the most favorable circum-
stances we cannot expect to make June
butter in January, but we can come
nearer to it than we often do.
Winter Work.
Winter is the farmers vacation and
vet there is much to be done, beside
sitting at the freside; doing chores,
ETC. Let us see, what's to be done
There is fire. wood to be cut for next
summers use; forks, shovels, rakes,
plows, harrows, and other articles too
numerous to mention to be repaired /;
new farm gates to be made and old
ones repaired racks and troughs to be
provided for stock feeding; pens made
ready for early spring pigs; wagons
painted, and all the nuts carefully
frightened harrow teeth sharpened
and the wood work painted hot-bed
frames built, or repaired and the glass
re-puttied the iron work of mower
and reaper oiled to prevent rust; if
anything is to be sold, sell it and mark
ct it; in fact, the more one thinks
about it the more he finds to do. The
short winter days can be quite as fully
occupied as those of summer, prOvid-
| ing there is disposition to do it.

the purchaser of the hat to communi

Savings Banks VS. Saloons.

That was sensible suggestion re.
Gently made by The Springfield Mass.
Republican that the people of Atlanta
should institute dimes savings banks
and thus allow the men who had been
in the habit of regularly depositing
their money in the saloon keepers till
to place it in the bank. While prohi-
bitiOn lasts in the city the residents
should be encouraged to profit in every
legitimate way. and if the law ever is
repealed perhaps the banks will then
have become so popular that they will
be asked to continue Philadelphia

GROUND BONE.
A Poultry Food Which Stimulates Lay
Ing to a Great Extent.

A Poultry Food Which Stimulates Lay
Ing to Great Extent.
Some of our farming friends appear
to be deeply impressed with the notion
that hens need no food but corn in
some of its forms. But we ought not
to forget that food means the material
for every thing that comes out of the
system, and that If any particular race
takes up any special branch of manu-
facture they must have the raw mate
rial. All animals consume more or
less lime; it is one of the principal
elements entering into the compost
ton of the bones, but the hen needs
an extra supply. The domesticated
hen also needs more than wild stock
of any sort, since she is stimulated to
a greater production of eggs. In con-
sequence we must give her more than
is contained in the various grains.
The most useful forms in which to
give lime are in the shape of coarsely-
ground bone and oyster shells; feed
these articles most abundantly at the
time when the hens are laying most
freely, and anticipate, if possible, by
beginning early in the season, lest
your fowls eat shelless egg and ac-
quire bad habits. The Importance of
providing liberal supply of ground
bone and oyster shells for fowls, is less
understood than il should be by breed
ers of poultry. Raw bone, coarsely
ground, say half as large as grains of
corn, is greedily eaten by fowls, es-
pecially if they are not allowed to run
at large; and well-conducted expert
ments have proved that it is not only
benefcialto the health of the fowl, but
it also certainly stimulates and pro-
notes laying to very gr eat extent.
Now, while this effect of producing
an increase in the number of eggs is
certain, and not a newly-claimed merit,
we have arrived at the conclusion that
1t also increases the size of the eggs;
and where there is any trouble with re-
gard to the shells of the eggs, we have
found it speedily remedied by a liberal
use Of ground raw bone and oyster
shells. Every person who &eeps even
few fowls should own mill for
grinding such food, as it will soon re-
pay its cost. Bone and shell should be
fed to fowls by putting it in narrow
box and mailing it to the side of the
coop; we prefer this method, as it is
less wasteful than throwing it on the
ground. To use fine bone beneficially,
tits necessary to mix it with the soft
food, and we have found it very useful
in cases of diarrhea in fowls, having
cured bad cases of this disease in green
fowls, in single day, by the use of
this article; to promote laying, how
ever it is necessary to have it ground
coarse. -AnaericGs Rural Home,

STARRING RIGHT.

Aunt Marjorie ProcePt" Gives Bit Of
Good Advice to Boys and Girls.
Iheard certain lad-I will not mem
ton names just now-ask the maid one
evening, not long ago, to be sure to
call him when she should rise in the
morning. II have work to do," he
said, ''and I must be up an hour earlier
than usual" Let me whisper here
that sometimes good start for the day
is gained by beginning the night be-
fore. For example it is much better
thing to finish all the school-work-
lessons, themes, exercises before go
ing to bed, than to leave it to the
chance Of rising an hour earlier than
the accustomed time. It makes, you
see, the difference between certainty
and an accident.
In the case of my young friend the
good start he had counted upon was
lost by the fact that the maid forgot
his request, and never thought of it
until she rang the bell to awaken the
| rest of the family. Many another boy
loses his good start by not getting up
when he Is called.
1 think if young people knew how
much needless trouble they give their
elders by just this one vexatious habit
of going to sleep again after they have
been called in the morning, they would
turn over new leaf

they do not care for making good start
in the day for themselves, they should
spoil mine for me.
One thought leads to another Chill
, dren, believe me that no day is started
well if it begins with cross looks and
fretful words. There is homely prov
erb about having the black dog on your
shoulder, which means simply that you
are hateful and horrid and disagreeable.
Let us be careful never to be horrid on
> purpose. Perhaps we can not help be-
ing slow or stupid, but we all can help
being peevish and perverse.
In starting out in new study-Latin
or algebra or botany-the rate of your
progress will depend greatly upon the
!, thoroughness OF your beginning. You
would call that man foolish builder
who forgot to look after his FONDA
tions, and l am sure it is quite as alb
surd to build badly in a new study.
Get good start, boys. You will then
go on without failing in the end.-
