IN Foochow, China n prominent mill.
tary man died suddenly short time
ago. The people believed that his death
was the work Of the idols In one OF the
temples. These idols were supposed To
perform feats Of vengeance for all those
who were afraid TO 90 into the business
personally. The Vicoroy OF Foochow
ordered the arrest OF the guilty idols.
The project armed with a warrant, en-
tered the temple and arrested the wooden
gods: but before taking them TO their
judges, the Official poked out their eyes.
so that they would not be able to sec
their enemies and do harm in the IN
ture. The wicked things we're found
guilty, and the Viceroy ordered their
heads TO be cut OF. Ills order was
p omptly obeyod. Then the bodies OF
the gods were thrown into a pond. and
the temple in which they were worshipped
torn down. --NeD York Sun.

Gnmc Fowls for tho Table.

The Farmers Magdsins holds that the
game fowl is superior TO all others for
the table. Being strictly thorough
bred fowl, it has consequently bred true
for more than hundred years, and. as
it has been used for the pit, the objects
sought by breeders TO fit IL for such a
purpose have been the cause of its
superiority for the table. Hard, com.
pact, but light bone was required, and
therefore the DIAL is lessened. Strong
muscular development became prom.
inent, and the bones were thus heavily
covered with flesh of rich, Juicy
character, the thighs being particularly
so, and the breast full. There rs an old
proverb that 'the game possesses more
meat for It's weight than any other fowl, -
which is true. Those who have used
the coarse grained fowls, no matter how
Fat they were, will at once distinguish
the flesh of game fowl, il comparison
could be made. I he games grow slowly,
but they arc solid and firm, for IL seems
as IL nature intended to pack every
ounce of flesh on them into the smallest
space. For market, they are perhaps not
as profitable as some other kinds, but in
places where the chicken must supply
the place of the turkey, the game comes
nearer tho desideratum than anything
else.
