being kept in the press for two days or

The following thrilling story of an en-

twenty-five yards, and held several large

Division of Work.
III - q, -


On q farm, as everywhere else, work
should be properly divided, so that the
weight of the burden should be borne by
no one person. There must be some De
Walton from the plan after it is made,
but the endegvor should be to leave no
work for everybody and all work for
somebody. 1t seems to be everywhere
TIE case that some will perform no labor
unless forced to do so, while Others are
always looking for work to do and per
forming the task for others. In this way
i'm portant matters are neglected-some
should-be workers are permitted TO be.
come shirks, some others are made drudg
es. The several tasks TO be done sh Juld
oe daily assigned by father and mother
with the most perfect justice, avoiding
giving the disagreeable tasks invariably
to the child that has no choice but obedi-
euce, and who cherishes in his heart,
"Whea 1 am a man I'll get out of all this,
| will go as far from farm as possible"
On the other hand as carefully refusing
to perform all disagreeable duties per-
sonally to save the child.
1t is equally necessary to be just in as
signing work TO hired help. 1t should
be generally understood that the agreea-
bic and disagreeble tasks are each to be
justly shared, and the moment that is
done, trouble is at au end. Each feels
that it is fair that he should perform his
share of those duties tina! he dislikes
doing, and each knows that tasks agreea-
bic to him are equally so to others and
gladly divides his pleasures. If there is
to be anything like an uneven division,
let the shirks take the worst. Always
making certain that it is not natural
taste for a certain kind of work that can
not be overcome, or an avoiding of
labor, because of real lack of health aud
strength. No where else is there greater
need of the pull all together" princi pie
than on the farm. Success is assure d
only when the mutual interests and re-
sponsibility is felt and each takes his
share of the work, performing it cheer
fully.

Caring and Keeping Cheese.

The stage at which 10 apply salt to the
curd Is q critical one IN cheese making,
and requires pretty accurate test to de
eide. There are several, the most certain
being that soft peculiar feeling known as
'velvety"; equal quantities and whe!
exuding on the curd being firmly squsez-
ed IN the hand; the response to lie hot
iron being the flavor of nice toastsd
cheese &c. The moisture of cheese con
sists of the water OF the whey still re-
manning. the essential and some of the
volatile oil derived from the butter, and
the butter fats. In a skinned E1ilk or
very poor cheese the proportion of whey
is large. and when it has passed its prop
er stage of ripenness part it will evapor-
ate ana the cheese apparently lose quail
ity, though 1t is merely water it Is losing.
In full milk or rich cheese the pro-
portion Is reversed , and the moisture be-
ing from richness the cheese will improve

FARM, HOME AND GARDEN
A G0OSE-TALE
BY MRS. F. B. aCNDY.

farmer observed to his wife one day
As he sat with his afternoon pipe,
Il must gather the cherries for brandy, my dear,
Gas soon they will BE- oyer-ripe.'
And his good wife replied. as good wife should,
What you say is indeed very true;
And III make the best brandy that you ever saw.
Aud make good lot of it too
So The cherries We're picked, and the brandy was
made,
And the bottles stood up in row,
And the dregs were thrown out by a small run
ming brook,
Where the ducks and the geese loved to 90.
Now it happened a flock of the Iatter-named fowl
Who had wandered that way for a swim,
Caught sight Of the tempting red pie on the
And each biri thought twas f. there for him.
Here is sauce for the goosa,'' the old sander
As he made the first dive for the treat;
And the rest of the family following suit,
Began the boiled cherries TO eat.
Such squawk.ng was made as scarce ever was
heard.
For the feast went direct to the spot;
And 50 happy they grew they could hardly stand
straight,
And all their past troubles forgot.
But alas! ere they toddlei three yards from the
brook
a marvellous thing came to pass;
The trees and the fences tripped out for waltz
And the cows rolled about on the gras.
And then great cloud overhurg the whole EARTH
And the world came at once to an end;
And the twelve lively geese were stretched out
on the sod
A still as a back bitten fri md.
All. sad was the sight for the farmer to see,
But sadder by far for his wife;
For the belut full birds now so life!ess and cold
Had long been the pride of her life.
''Oh, what could have killed them in anguish
she cried,
AS she bore them in pairs to the shed;
''lIy hope of Thanksgiving is gone, but at last
They VIII help make nice feather bed
From every proud form their fair plumage she
stripped.
Until they were smooth as an eel;
AMI then, with sigh that came straight from
her heart,
She,laii then al. oIt heel to heel.
Tne morning rose bright as a morning could be,
And the farmer was gadi in his heart,
For he purposed to drive TO the market that uay
With his corn and potatoes to part.
He opened the door to 80 out, whenibehold!
An unspeakabe sight met his gaZa-
by The Hokeys," he cried, and Jerusalem
ilnkS,
Did ever in all M born days."
For there right before him Cts true, pom my
stood the geese that he thought were stone
dead,
With never a feather on one of the twelve,
And all waiting round to be fed.
Then the farmer sat down, and he laughed til he
cried,
And he SAID I will bet my white hat
That those geese didn't die any more than my
SELF
But they only went off on a bat
And he made up his mind as he sat thinking
there,
The world was just full of such geese,
Who had no one to blame but themselves, if their
friends
Thought them suitable objects to fleece.

HORRIBLE RITES IN INDIA.
A Man Gouges His Wifes Eyes as a Sacrifice to
4 Dpmnn

Man GOuges His Wife's Eyes as a Sacrifice to
Il Demon.
The leading Bombay newspaper draws
attention to two recent revolving Incl
dents as conclusIvely proving the i'm
perious necessity for social reform and
enlightenment before it would be posi-
ole to concede electoral privileges. In
the one case tenant farmer, in the pres
enoe of the assembled villagers, amid
the singing of songs and beating OF
drums, deliberately gouged out the eyes
of his young wife, who was pinioned for
the purpose by the neig hbors, because he
had been told by demon that they
would be replaced by gold eyes. This
superstition was shared by the whole
village and neighborhood, including the
police, who alleged that the unfortunate
woman had persisted by cholera.
In the second case the scene was
temple midway between Chuddergaut
and Secunderabad. Three buffaloes were
hacked and hewn into pieces, which were
strewn all over the road, and the people
in the Immediate vicinity of the lacerated
animals were dahbling and dancing
about in their blood, while others hold
ing the yet bleeding legs and joints, were
whirling them aroun5 about their heads
and gesticulating fariously. A fourth
animal which was being cut up or wound
ed, was still alive, and added his painful
bellowings to the horrible din. A little
further on some two or three men with
bodies naked and painted, held goat by
the legs, while from the still living and
quiveriDg body they were tearing away
with their teeth mouthful by mouthful
the bleeding flesh, squirting and sprink-
ling it ever the adjacent crowd. Other
goats and buffaloes were close at hand,
waiting their turn to supply the horrible
sacrifice.
To omplete these Bacchanalian rites
crowd of women apparently intoxicated
with drugs, with hair disheveled, wild in
mien and besmeared with blood, perform
ed kind OF satanic dance, accompanying
each movement with violent shrieks.
The object of these loathsome orgies,
which were Witnessed and participated in
by hundreds of persons, was we are told
to appease the Hindu goddess, who holds
in her hand the scourge of small poE.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Several of your

A brigade was formed from Sherman's Corps
under command of Gen. Frank =. Blair to 90

The Sth Wis. was one of the regiments. We
went by steamboat to Mechanicsylle Landing,
where we disembarked. The rebels had a bat
terry on the bluffs, but too far off to do anything
Cos. a, ID and Of the Sth Wis, under my
command were sent out in advance to drive
the rebels from the bluffs. They retreated be-
fore we got up On top Of the bluffs there was
a road running parallel with the river sunken
so that its sides formed good breastwOrks. Our
three companies depIOyed in this road, and
were attacked by force of about 300 dis
mounted rebels, but they were repulsed. We
then deployed as skirmishers, and followed
them through the woods four miles, to Mechan-
icsville, where they made stand, having re-
joined their main force, regiment or so OF

in the village and kept up the fight for half an
