A Cane for Footballs.

A wicked and murderous walking cane was
displayed in an avenue store the other day.
Its hollow covering was punctUred with at
least twenty-five holes, and behind these
were concealed as many sharp steel blades.
The object of the cane was at once apparent
Suppose an unfriendly hand seized it on q
dark night The owner Of the stick would
simply draw it backward, and lo from out
the little holes the knives would fly to do
their bloody, decorating work. No footpad
would grasp that cane more than once The
principle Of the invention is not new It is

TIE PRODIGAL DAUGHTER.

To the home of his father returning
The ProdiSal, weary and worn,
Is greeted with joy and Thanksgiving,
As when on his first natal morn;
4 ''robe" and 'ring" is his portion,
The servants as supplants bow,
He is clad in fine linen md purple,
In return for his penltent vow.
But ali. for the Prodigal Daughter,
Who has wandered away from her home
Her feet must still press the dark valley
And through the wild wilderness roam;
Alone on the bleak, barren mountains
Tho mountains so dreary and cold
No hand is outstretched in fond pity
To welcome her back to the fold
But thanks to the Shepherd, whose mercy
Still follows his sheep, though they stray,
The weakest, and cen the forsaken,
He bears in his bosom alway;
And in the brighs mansions of glory,
Which the blood OF his sacrifice won,
There Is room for the Prodigal Daughter
AS well as the Prodigal Son.

TIE mortality list of the past few days has contained the names of so many men prominent in the political or financial world, that death has seem- ed almost to be epidemic in the most distinguished circles of society. On Friday last the intelligence of Chief Jutice Waite's sudden demise was a great surprise; then followed in quick succession the news that ex-Gov. John T. Hoffman, of New YoIk, had died in Germany; that Commodore Robert R, Hitchcock had died in New York, where on Sunday, Joseph w. Drexel, the famous banker. br eathed his last and almost simultaneously came the announcement of the death of Chas. Latimer, the prominent railroad en- gineer, of Cleveland, and yesterday came the news that ex-Lieut. Gov. William Dorsheimer, of New York, the lawyer, soldier. politician, and lat- terly editor-in-chief of the Star, had died in Savannah on Monday evening. The lesson is plain that life is uncer- tain at best.

THE consideration of the tariff bill by the house, it is now announced, will be postponed two weeks farther. As the talk on this question will probably consume three or four weeks, the pros pect of bringing the measure to final vote before the latter part of May is not very encouraging. Even in their management of the tariff matter thus far in the Fiftieth Congress the Demo crats have shown their incapacity to deal with any of the great problems which continually present themselves to the country for solution.

Material for a Dust Bath.

The dust bath is the toilet of the hen.
With it she cleans her body and feath-
ers, rids herself of vermin, and delights
in the enjoyment it affords. In win
ter, however, when the ground is fro
zen hard, it sometimes becomes a Diff
cult matter 70 provide the hens with a
dust. bath, especially if there are sever
al flUcks. Now is the time to lay in a
supply of dirt for that purpose. The
dirt should he fine and we'll sifted, in
order that it may be more completely
adapted to the purposes intended.
Wood ashes are unsuitable, owing to
the caustic properties of the potash,
which creates sores on the skin should
the weather be damp. Finely sifted
coal ashes entirely free from admixtuTe
of wood ashes, are excellent, but full
supply is not ALWAYS obtained. The
cheapest and easiest mode Is to lay in a
supply of dirt, either from the road or
the field, but it should be perfectly dry,
and stored in dry place, or IL cannot
be used when the necessities arise. In
winter a box one yard square and six
inches deep. filled within an inch of the
top with the dirt, is just what the hens
will appreciate. The dirt may remain
in the box as long as it is dry and clean
but should be removed at least once a
week. By sprinkling a few drops of q
solution or acid in the dust bath any
unpleasant odors may be removed, and
the dirt rendered more acceptable.
