"A Marietta, Ga, correspondent writes
TO the Atlanta ConStitUtion the follow

has won many golden opinions from
our people by the impartial charges to
the jurics and his just but lcnicnt SEN
fences.
The charge Of Judge Branham to the
grand jury was strikingly forciblc, and
particularly so in "Npounding the duties
OF working the public roads. In regard
to breaking up the practice of carving

MOuntainccr Trout,

Not long since | followed one of these
daShmG trout-StrCamS from the yallcy
up the mountain
Nature seemed TO have done her best
TO protect the l;t!lc fishes that lived in
the dark deep pools and cddics. Tho
higher | climbed up the mountain, the
more fish found; the stream became q
succession of falls, some of which were
three feet or more in height-the brook
IN It's track forming steps down tho
mountain-and | began to wonder how
the fish cam" to be up there,
In the village, ] chanccd to mention
he subject to Il friend who owned n mill
on the same stream; and he told me
that the fishes ascent was Il puzzle TO
him, until one day his boy called him
out to the dam, where the riddle was
solved. The dam was nearly four feet
high, and to relieve the stream, several
au%cr-holcs had been bored in il, allow
nG small stream of water to let forci

clear pool below. AS my friend ap-
proached the spot, and looked through
the bushes, several largc-sizcd trout were
moving about under the mimic fall.

ing INTO 1t as if enjoying the splash and
| ioiti O1 lllC water.
Hudurnly, one OF the fish made a quick
rush that sent II up the falling stream
so that it almost gained the tOp: but by
an unlucky turn il was caught and
thrown back into the pool, where il
dartcd away, evidently much startled,
Soon another made the attcmpt. dart
ing AZ ii like the first, and then rapidlv
swimming up the fall but only to meet
tn" fate of its predecessor. This was
ir"d Il number of times, until finally, a
trout larger than the others made a
dash, mounted the stream, and entered
the round hole. The observers were al
most ready to clap their lands, but it
was not successful yet. AS the water
stopped flowing for Il moment, they saw
that though the athletic trout had sur
mounted the fall, the hole was too small
tpr Il TO pass through, and there the
poor fish was lodged. The lookcrs-on
haStencd TO relieve it, and found that
its sid" or pcctoral fins were caught in
the wood, but by pushing the fish ahead,
which yon may be sure thcy did, they
liberated il, and il dartcd away into the
upper pond.
Here, then, Was the explanation. The
trout climbed the mountain by SWIM

these fish deposit their eggs high up

Cruelty 10 Animals.

Some people object entirely TO cxpcri-
mcnts upon animals. They do this
chiefly on two grounds. The first i.
that such experiments are useless. and
the second that, even if they were usr-
tuI, we have no right to infict pain upOn
animals. The first objection is due To
ignorance. Almost all our exact knowl-
edge of the action of drugs on the var
lous organs of the body, as well as tho
physiological functions Of these organ
lSmS themselves, has been obtained bv
experiments on animals. Their second
objection is one which, if pushed to its
utmost limits and steadily carried out,
would soon drive man on the face of thc
earth. The struggle for existence is
constantly going ON, not only between
man and man, but between man, the
lower animals, and plants, and mans
very being depends upon his success.
We Kill animals for food We destroy
them when they are dangerous, like the
tiger or cobra, or destructive, like the

In order to have a pretty-looking
hand the finger nails must be kept IN
good shape, They should never be cut
too short. as this deforms the finger
ends and renders them stubbv. They
should always project a tritie beyond
the extremity of the finger, and be
pared only to a slight curve, without
approaching too much on the angles.
| To preserve the half-moon or lunula,
which borders the lower part OF the nail,
and is thought a great beauty, the skin
must be kept from encroaching upon 1t
by pushing it back every morning with
a blunt ivory instrument. By this
means the annoying hang-nail will be
prevented also. Filing or scraping the
nails is very injurious, as it tends to
thicken their substance. The nail brush
should alone be used for cleaning and
polishing the nails.
The time for gathering apples is
October. The fruit should be gathered
before being exposed to severe frosts.
Cool, drv weather is the most favorable.
Most of the fruit must be gathered by
hand, and ladders ofvar1ous lengths are
| needed. Scattered fruit on the ends Of
limbs can be reached by a fruit gatherer
attached to pole. If baskets are used
they should have hooks attached for
| hanging them IL the ladder or limb of
the tree. Perhaps the most convenient
arrangement for picking is a common
grain bag with It's mouth propped open
with a stick, and the upper and lower
corners tied together. This can be slung
on the shoulder, and both hands are left
free for picking the fruit. It is also
very convenient to empty the apples
from the bag, as it can be placed in the
bottom Of the barrel and then with
drawn, depositing the fruit without the
least bruising.
