"Bobby," said his mother, ""l'm asham-

The visitor who was dining with his

"like all the rest of u.s." -,

saw a boy peeling the bark from one OF
his choice trees with a Ratchet. Inc gen

latter was too quick for him, so that the

"WHAR DAT VEAL ?"-Judge Lamar
is reported as telling the following story
of his experience at a political meeting in
his own State soon after the war. He was
one of the speakers, and alluding to the
civil war, suggested as q parallel case the
parable of the Prodigal Son and the joyful
reception at his home when the naughty
boy returned. He was succeeded by a
negro, a Republican, who, after some gen
eral remarks, paid his respects to Lamar's
parallel. "Forgiben "said he: "Dey TOR

VERY NERVOUS.

For many years | have been afflicted with Rheu-
matlsm combined with some Kidney Troubles. Indl-
gestion finally added to my misery and I soon became
feeble and very nervous, and my whole system was
Frustrated. Several physicians were employed and
numerous patent medicines rcsorted to without bene-
fit. After seeing so many testimonials e~xtolIlng the
wonderful merit of b. B. b., I commenced its use and
the effect was like magic. Rheumatic pains ceased,
my kidneys were relieved and my constitution Inn
proved ut once, and I chcerfully recommend 1t to
others who may be similarly afflicted.

How HORSES REsT.-"Horses a get
some rest Standing" said an old trainer,
"provided the position be reasonably easy,
but no full rest except recumbent. 1t is
known of some horses that they never
lie down in the stall, though if kept in
pasture they take their rest habitually in
a recumbent position. 1t is well to con-
slider whether the habit has not been
forced upon the horse by some circum-
stance connected with the stall he was
made to occupy, in that it had a damp
earth floor, or one made of d%ilapidated
plank, uncomfortable to the horse that
had been accustomed to select his own
bed in the pasture. ,
eff the horse can have the privilege of
selecting his own position for resting on
his feet he can sleep standing; but while
his muscles may be to a certain degree
relaxed, and get rest in that position,
what can be said of the bearings at the
joints: Without relief through the re-
cumbent position the joint surfaces are
forced continuously to bear a weight of
from 1000 to 1900 pounds. This must act
unfavorabiy, especially upon the compli-
Gated structures within the hoofs, which
nature intended should have periods of
rest each day."

NUTRIMENT IN RICE.-Touching the
nutritious value of various foods various
ly cooked, it may be we'll just now to point
out that one pound of rice, prepared for
the table, gives lightweight per cent. of
nutriment, and consequently, a relatively
proportional ability to labor compared
with other articles of food. A pound of
beef contains only twenty-five per cent.
ofnutriment; yet countless numbers strain
a point daily to purchase beef, when they.
could get a pound of rice for one-third of
the amount the rice, moreover, having
three times as much nutriment as the
pound of beef, making a practical differ
ence of 300 per cent. There is, also, the
additional fact to be considered that boiled
rice is digested in about an hour, roast
beef, on the contrary, requiring three
hours and a half. There is meaning, after
all, in the fact that two-fifths of the human
family live on rice. Mutton is five per
cent. more nutritious than beef, plums
four per cent. and grapes two per cent.
Goldfish yields, only twenty-one per cent.
more of nutriment than milk.-New York

EVERY FARMER HIS OWN CHEMIST.

Every farmer should be his own chem
ist, to the extent of determining what ele-
ments his soil, or q particular field requires,
and what proportion of these elements will
give the best results. He has only to con-
slider his field as the laboratory of nature,
the fertilizers he applies the reagent, and
the details of preparation, planting, cul-
ture, etc., the manipulatiOns of the chem
list. If the farmer wants to know if cot
ton seed meal or whole cotton seed, or the
unexpressed kernel, which is the best and
most profitable form for use as a fertilizer,
alone or in combination or if he wishes to
know whether potash is needed by his SOIL,
and if needed, what form of potash is most
effective and profitable or if he wants to
know the best proportions, and the best
paying quantities, or any other OF q o
sand Questions that might be ~propounded,
let him put his laboratory in order, lay IN
a stock of reagents, and do the work OF
Analysing himself. Let him ask Nature,
and she will answer in an unmistakable
way. In other words, let every farmer
become an eXperimenter, to the extent at
least of solving for himself the questions
which come within the range Of ordinary
intelligence and skill, and which most con-
Germ him and his own farm. Such eXper-
iments, or practical analyses, cost very ut
tie more than the necessary care and at
tention requisite to secure accuracy in the
details and reliability in the indications
furnished by the comparative and direct
results. The manipulations are such as
the farmer has been accustomed to they
are a part of his daily business.
Farmers do not experiment enough, or
with sufficient care and painstaking as to
secure reliable results. Too much is taken
on trust or hearsay. "Try all things" and
hold fast to the good, should be the watch
w~ord.-S0uthern CutiUator.

Too MUCH MEAT.-Most people eat too
much meat. Nature has so bountifully
supplied this country with animal food,
that our people appear to have come to the
conclusion that it is an essential duty on
their part to make daily consumption of
large quantities of it. While some ami
NAL food is needful, it is a great mistake
to suppose that it is required three times a
day, or really oftener than once every
twenty-four hours. European laborers
rarely get meat more than once or twice a
week, and yet they are as a general thing
robust and strong, and capable of enduring
h%ardships under which our great meat
eaters would surely sink.
A writer says: 1.-THE heavy work OF he
world is not done by men who eat meat.
The Russian soldiers, who built such Won
derful roads and carried a weight of armor
and luggage that would crush the average
Farmland, lived on coarse brown bread
and SOUL wine. They were temperate in
diet and regular in exercise. The Spanish
peasant works all day and dances half the
night, and yet earns only his black bread,
onion and watermelon. The Smyrna
porter eats only a little fruit and some
olives, and yet he walks off with his load
of 100 pounds. The coolie fed on rice is
more active and can endure more than the
negro fed on Observation-Disclosures Star.

for stealing money from a house on Sole

ney for the prisoner, in his address to the
jury, said:
"Gentlemen, my client is a poor man.
He wa driven by hunger and want to
take the small sum of money. All that
he wanted was sufficient money to buy
bread, for it is in evidence that he did not
take the pocket-book containing $500 that
was in the same bureau drawer: II ne
was q professional thief, he would have
certainly taken the pocket-book." -,
The eloquent attorney for the accused
was interrupted by the convulsive sobs OF
his client.
"Why do you weep?" asked Judge
Noonan, who was on the bench.
"Bekase I didn't see dat ar pocket-book
in de bureau drawer" was the reply:
