The Fat Mans Story.

The boys had been looking at the fat

down the depot platform, smoking a good
cigar and his face wearing look of con-

''Eh? A story to pass away the time

which we leave to the pope In his religious
sphere We gladly extend to all other

suicide become iailor of the human con-

Let every creed therefore live its own

forces at her command; let her seek to
paralyze four centuries of victories in the

let her seek again to chain Prometheus.

do battle for justice, liberty, and reason;
it Is our duty to make Italy the champion
of this struggle. If we have any merit in
this, it is In having perfectly understood

joined the Army of the Potomac, then in
motion against the enemy The men were
little used to forced marches, and many of
them were sadly exhausted before they
were ordered to halt, shortly after mid
night. 1t was toward II o'clock. The
regiment was plodding YEARLY along, I'M
able to see what lay before it, when sud-
denly there came a smashing. ruStling, in
dehnable sound from point Just In adj
vance, and extending some distance away
Somebody cried out that the leading
regiments were fording the Potomac. and
then all hands heard, or seemed to hear,
the splashing of shallow water as men
and horses went dashing through it. Still
there were no signs of a halt to prepare
for crossing. The men were evidently
expected to look out for themselves in
this respect, and Immediately the road
side was lined with soldiers pulling off
their shoes and stockings and rolling up
their trousers. The rustling came nearer
and nearer as the column advanced, and
before long the smooth. shining surface
of the river came plainly to sight. The
officers were already riding into it. So it
seemed. But as the barefooted stragglers
came up, picking their way and looking
for the ford, they discovered, all at
once, that the river was nothing but a big
corn-feld in which the bivouac was to be
madel The sound of the waters was
simply the rustling of the leaves. as the
troops in advance had pulled down the
shocks for bedding. The noise, it is need
less to say. was soon drowned by shouts of
laughter

THE DAIRY.

When you turn the cows to pasture give
them feed of hay or corn-fodder in the
morning and at night.
Do not expect big mess of milk from
cows which have Just been brought from
pasture by boy and two dogs which kept
them on the jump.
For feeding mich cows corn meal is
good as every dairyman knows, but when
mixed in suitable proportions with wheat
bran its effects is much better than when
fed with coarse provender alone.
A correspondent says, ''By the liberal
use of cabbage | have been able not only
to keep up, but tol argely increase the yield
from my cows, and that without any de-
leterious effect upon the animals or the
product.
An experimenter says if milk is to be
kept sweet for a considerable time, no re-
gard being had to It's Dreaming in the
future, it is advisable to heat it at once to
100 or 140 degrees, and then to cool it to
at least so degrees.
Creameries are only valuable to the dairy
men whom they serve when they bring to
the business the highest excellence of
dairy knowledge, order and cleanliness
found in the best private diaries, and apply
those methods through the creamery sys-
tenn Of the whole community.
Uniformity of temperature is very large
ly conducive to regular milk yield, and if
its quantity is dependent upon the kind
and amount of food consumed, its quality
is affected by the kind of air..inhaled. Cows
should be kept comfortably warm in win
ter and cool in summer Milking should
be done in gentle, thorough and clearly
manner

Clean Up the Farm.

Allowing bushes to grow In d pasture
may be excusable, but there appears to be
no excuse for allowing them to grow in
moved or cultivated fields. If there is
anything that detracts from the appear
ance of farm, it is by having the sides by
the walls and fences covered by Il growth
of weeds We have been past farms,
where, In consequence of sprouts, bushes
and weeds, it was almost impossible to
even get glimpse of the field it bordered,
even though it was clear beyond. Where
such cases exist there is need of reform,
and there is no better season of the year
in which to perform the labor of clearing
away the nuisance than the winter. Old
hedge rows can be cut down, the brush
piled up and burned, and the improvement
in the looks of the field will more than pay
for all the labor required This condi-
ton in cultivated fields is quite frequently
the result of negligence during the leriod
of cultivation. 1t is hardly possible with
the pillow to break up the sod close to q
fence or wall, and in far too many instan-
ces this narrow strip is allowed to remain
untouched during the entire period of cul
tivation, and is the very place where foul
weeds will lodge and finally terminate
We hardly ever had field In that way
but what it became pretty well started with
a foul growth of rank weeds or bushes
Although it requires little extra labor al
first to accomplish it, it is usually well tc
grub out from the fence, and especially sc
by the sides of walls all that cannot be up
turned by the pillow, so that the entire sur
face of the field may be cultivated and
kept clean. Then when seeded down there
will be no unsightly hedge rows to be left
to be cut at some more convenient season
There is yet force in the old saying. "A
stitch in time saves nine

Exercising the Devil i'm India.
London Times.

A strange case of superstition was re-
Gently Investigated before the coroner of
Bombay. A Hindoo mill hand. named
Ramji Dali, had for some time been suf
fering from swollen knee Joints and pains
in various parts of the body. He went to
the mill to get some wages due to him,
and on his return was taken i'll on the road.
He was brought home on the back of a
friend In an almost unconscious state, and
was placed In a sitting posture, being held
by his father. A man named Doe, who
was present, suggested that he was pos
sessed of devil, in order to expell which
Doe swayed himself about In front of the
sick man, seized hold of his hair, and de-
manded of the devil who he was. Not re-
ceiving reply he struck the deceased vio-
lently with rattan, when the latter fell
back in dying condition; but before his
death another friend took the rattan and
beat the deceased, both men swaying their
bodies to and fro and protesting to be pos
sessed with the spirit of god The fogging
was intended to drive out the devil. Dali
died almost Immediately without COM
plant. The widow narrated all these facts
to the coroner, and described both hoggings
as being very violent The medical evil
dence showed that there were several
bruises on the back and an abrasion on the
right hip, but that the cause of death was
hemorrhage from rupture of the spleen,
which was probably not due to the fog
ging. The jury found verdict accordingly,
adding that there was no evidence to
show how the spleen became ruptured
