A White Mans Love-Making and Col"
ored Imitation.
Years ago planter was counting a
certain young lady in the sunny South.
One day he ordered his negro coach
man to drive to the residence of Lis in
amorata.
The next morning Cuffee observed
his master and the young lady proceed
ing arm in arm to a summer aoIlse
around which vines had overslread,
making it a cool retreat from the sultry
heat.
Be it known that Cuffee, on his ar
rival, had fallen desperately in love
with the ebony cook in the kitchen, but
he was dumbfounded in the presence
of this sable woman, the art of love-
making being to him an almost un-
fathomable mystery. Cutfee, however.
was bound to learn, and he silently fol-
lowed the pair to the shady bower.
Parting the vines with his hands, he
very cautiously peeped within. There
on bench sat the young lady, and
kneeling on the ground was his master,
who was holding her hand in his. Cuf-
fee heard these words:
80, your eyes are like doves eyes!
Your alabaster neck sets me on fire.
o, Cupid"
As quick as possible Cuffee disap-
peared from the scene. He returned
to the kitchen, turned kettle bottom
side up, seized the bewildered Dinah
and seated her on the kettle. Then
getting down on his knees, he took
both her hands in his, and with up
lifted eyes, exclaimed:
"Oh, your eyes are like dogs eyesl
Your yaller blasted neck sets me on fire.
Oh, blue pot!'
The last seen of that unfortunate
darby he was fleeing from the wrath to
come, followed by sundry stove sticks
propelled by the irate and very indig.

BUDDHIST MORALS.
How the Believers In Baddhism Aim 10
Acquire Merit.

How the Believers In Butldhism Aim 10
Acquire Merit.
The leading principle Of Buddhism is
to acquire merit. There are a good
many ways of doing it, some of which
are good and others not quite SO good.
You may lay upa store by giving album
dant aims to the yellow-robed monks
as they come round in the morning
with their aims bowl held before them
in their clasped hands, and you may
add to it by flinging stones at the un-
regenerate who walk about with their
boots on in places where they ought
not to. You may build rest-house,
or a monastery, or pagoda, or have
q bell or an image cast, and enter a
goodly sum on the credit side toward
another existence, and you do not lose
any of this if by. chance your plan
should have been too ambitious, and
you find that you are unable to pay
for the material you employed on the
task. The purveyors should be con-
tent with the share they have had in
good work. To take any life at all,
even that of a scorpion that has bitten
you, or any smaller and less dangerous
creature that may have done the same
thing, would be q grievous sin. The
Manicheans say that the souls of farm
ers become herbs, SO that they may be
cut down and threshed out. The baker
becomes bread, and is eaten The
killer of a fowl becomes fowl, and of
a rat, rat. The Buddhists 60 nearly
as far. Fishermen are represented as
dangling by the tongue on . fish-hook.
while demons draw him up and drop
him down again into lake of boiling
pitch; but though you may not catch
fish or kill animals for yourself. there
is no demerit in buying the flesh of
them, if q fore-doomed hunter or fish
erman, or any of those who have not
become Buddhists, should offerittoyou.
There is no sin in setting snares to
catch and kill tigers or cheetahs that
may come after your oxen or fowls;
You even gain small merit BY doing so.
You must not tell lies, on pain ct tor
ture in one of the eight bells; but Il
you are brought up. whether you like

ings played the mischief with both the
-four and the bran. 1t is now CON-
planned that the flour made by the new
process is less nutritious because the
best part of it except the starch is taken
out Of it, and that the bran is lees nu-
tritious than it was formerly because it
is now deprived Of its better part II

tat. the nitrogen and the phOsphates-

coarse grades Of middlings made by
this process, and it Is probable that
this is the case because the most nutri-
tious part Of the grain is contained in
the inner layers OF the husk, under the
outer covering, which is the bran, and
over the kernel, which contains the
starch. The bran is secured clean of
all the inner coat, and the -four is sift-
ed free from it, 80 that 1t necessarily
remains in the middlings. That the
middlings contain the most nutritious
part of the grain is evident from an
analysis, which shows that they con-
tain more fat and protein than bran,
and ''shorts" are richer in these ele-
ments than the middlings. m z.

In cooking canned vegetables it is
best always to open them in ST. amer
and pour a quart of cold water over
them. Even with tomatoes this is use

have been thus washed, let them air on

Onion seed may be sown very ear
ly in the spring, as soon as the ground
can be placed in condition to receive it.
In this preparation Of the ground it
pays to take great pains. After plow-
ing, it should be narrowed, rolled and
narrowed again, until it is thoroughly
pulverized, then raked clean of sticks,
stones and Jumps of earth. As thus
prepared the drill-if good one--will
sow the seed evenly, the rows can be
made straight, and the greater ease OF

Mr.. H. N. Collier, who has visited
the diamond fields of Brazil and made
study of the dazzling gems, gave
reporter some interesting facts. Mr..
Collier first visited the diamond fields
of Brazil in 1871. He landed at Rio
Janeiro and obtained a permit from
the Emperor Dom Pedro to go into the
interior. The fields were six hundred
miles from Rio, and could be reached
partly by wagon routes. At that time
the fields were worked by slaves in the
most primitive way. The total cost of
all the machinery used in surface work
at the fields was not more than one hum
dred dollars.

that the Northern Pacific has not even

fee is paid, yet the company has sold

due. Congress has been negligent in

Onions are the first crop to 90 In the

that onions will grow on the same
ground in succession for several years,
but this depends upon the treatment.
As the usual custom is 10 manure very

ground for onions can not be made too
rich. The manure. however, should be
in q fine condition. spread evenly over

the sol by the use Of 4 harrow for a

not only be deep but in thoroughly

There are two methods Of growing

grown from seeds the labor must be be-

sary TO hand-weed the crop. This will
be expensive, but onions are paving

that is necessary is TO keep them clean.
