MESQUITE, TEX, June 1s.-k gEsinea
here ell day yesterday and last night, q
very heavy rain fell, with slight showers
to-day. The ground is thoroughly wet
and 1t will be week before the farmers
can work. Tue cotton las been de-
str0yed by the worms and has been
plsnted over, but the rain has brought the
cotton hy, and the farmers have grave
fears Of the ravages Of the worms sgaiu.
The cotton prospect is indeed very
gloomy. Corn looks fine and a splendid
crop is assured. Whest and osts are
moderately good, and the former is all
harvested.

s.Those fellows have a confederate who

The money was left sticking to the

came in he might be caught red handed
and railroaded TO the county Jail.
Every one in the Office, which is occu-
pied by several persons besides the bro
ker, set himself TO satch the thief, and
the unexpected result was that the money
vanished without any arrest. When the
broker returned aftera hasty Eight across

A PundIt's Sly Trick.

About 500 years ago there was a cele-
brated pundit Of Nudya, who was par
ticularly fond Of country spirits, and
used to take about a quart of it everyd day.
People suspecting him of this weakness
watched him. One evening, when he
was returning from his vesper prayers at
the riverside, he was seen To o out on
the sly from n grog shop, with his water
pot full Of aniseed arrack, and he was
taxed 10y the crowd for conduct so dis
reputable in a Brahmin of lis learning
and sanctity. He denied the charge, and
placed the vessel before his accuser, when
10! II appeared to contain milk. \
miracle! a miracle! cried the crowd, and
the pundit. instead OF being degraded,
was canonized; the fact being that the
willy topper knew well that aniseei liquor,
mixed with a little water, becomes
milky, and he had prepared it accord
ingly.-Rcport Of British Commission.

How Ostrich Eggs Are Matched.

The ostrich egg Is very delicate and
will not keep its vitality more than thirty
days. Now, as the laying lasts a couple
Of months, it is evident that half of it be-
comes worthless for sitting and can serve
no purpose except as curiosities in
bazars. 1t is, therefore, the business of
man TO provide against this improyident
character of nature and utilize what is
wasted by that force. No occasion to g
into detail about incubators; the princi-
pie is well known. Practically they are
padded boxes, each holding fifteen to
twenty eggs and heated by hot water,
which can have its temperature readily
under control. The eggs are taken away
as laid, n always being left in the nest.
Each one is numbered and dated, and a
list made out with its weight and de-
scription of the parents. They are kept
in a dry room till the necessary number
is obtained, when they are placed in the
box and the heat is applied. The tenn
perature is 40 dogs. centigrade at first,
30 degs. at the end of eighteen days, and
then 1878 dogs. TO the finish. During
the whole process each egg must be
turned upside down every day at a regu-
lar time. This is absolutely necessary.
About the fifteenth day the eggs are
examined TO see which are ~impregnated
and which not. This is done with a box
containing a lamp and a reflector, in
front Of which is an opening which fits
an egg supported on the outside bya little
shelf. If the egg is clear il will not
hatch; if Opaque, except at the larger
end, where the air chamber is, it goes
back TO the incubator. Sometimes the
egg is rotten, in which case the gas
formed within forces the liquid through
the shell and turns it yellow. After
forty days the greatest attention must be
paid day and night to listen to the noise
Of the chick. On the forty-third day a
small hole should be made in the shell
near the air chamber, which has already
been marked with a pencil. Next day
this hole is enlarged so ms better TO notice
any movement inside. When this is
seen the shell must be broken, the men,
brane torn away and the chick freed,
taking care to use the greatest delicacy
in every movement. The chick is
wrapped up and kept warm for twenty
four hours, when it has n very small lot
Of finely chopped greenstuif with a few
bread crumbs. On the third day it gets
n little milk; on the sixth a little grain
with the vegetables and a little water to
drink.-All the Year Round.

Treatment for Bee sting.

Il Is a common mistake TO suppose that
an angry bee is certain 10 sting on alight-
ing upon a human hand. On the con.
trary, she will always examine the skin
very carefully first with the palpi-yery
delicate and nervous feeling organs,
which are situated near the sting. II
may seem that she stings at once, and
without care or reflection; but n bee can
do a great deal in a very short space Of
time, in proof Of which il may be men
toned that ''she can flap her wings o
than 400 times per second, and that each
flap involves the extension and contrac-
ton, through a nerve impulse, of the
muscles employed in the wing move
ments.n This being the case, ns Mr..
Cheshire says, tive shall sec NJ once that
the no time difficulty is removed"
When q person has been stung by n bee,
he should remove the sting Immediately,
III possible, by the nail, running it in
the direction opposite 10 that by which
II has entered" On no account let him
take hold Of the sting with his thumb
and finger or a forceps, for then he will
probably squeeze more Of the virus into
the wound from the poison bag, which
is generally left attached TO the sting,
Although the virus Of a bee sting Is q
strong acid, IL does not always follow
that an alkali will cure il. Much depends
upon the temperament and constitution
Of the patient, and while arnica mon
lana and ledum palustro will give relief
In many cases, in others they are in.
