The Wrong and Right Way

How parents provoke their children-by

their own tempers; by shrill or stern tones
where quiet, soft ones would do; by fire.

mistreatment by father or mothory Bursts

Farm LAW Notes.

The Supreme Court of Georgia de-
cides that before an applicant can have
distractions removed from a private
way, he must not only show that there
has been an uninterrupted use for
more than seven years. but he must
show that it is not more than fifteen feet
wide, that he has kept it open and in
repair, and that it is the same fifteen
feet originally appropriated.
The Supreme Court of Iowa has de-
cided that water which in hood-time

ing to the full width of the water is

HERE AND THERE.

The temptation to borrow fallen
leaves from the woodland is great; but
the trees need all of this fertility, this
reservoir of moisture, this natural
covering for the seeds, this protection
for the young sprouts. The wise
forester will leave the leaves in the
wood.
1t is reported that over 100 cane
mills and evaporators have been sold
in Troy, Ala, this season to the farm
ers of that (Pike) County and the adj
joining neighborhoods. This shows
that NE people are trying to live more
at homo in the matter of sirup and
sugar.
The Barbour County (Ala.) Po-
mona Grange has adopted resolutions
against the appropriation by the State
of $4,000 for immigration purposes,
at the suggestion of the State Agri-
cultural Society. II thinks the best
class of settlers can be secured with
out so large an outlay.
In Eastern North Carolina water
melons in past years have been a very
profitable crop, but latterly some dis
ease has attacked the vines and the
industry languishes. Now the Gov
eminent has taken the matter in hand
and improvement is hoped for.
1t is an old practice, too little
known, to freeze onions and then cover
them with hay or straw SO that they
may be kept frozen until ready for use.
They may be preserved in this way for
an indefinite period. Onions may also
be kept without freezing by burying
them in a NOV of hay or straw.
Pineapple culture in Florida is on
the increase. One grower, having
nearly two hundred and fifty thousand
plants under cultivation, says there is
no danger of overproduction; for, be-
sides the marketing of the fresh fruit,
he makes excellent wine, healthful
cider and prime vinegar from the sur
plus product, and for canning they are
among the best of fruits.
Texas is moving ahead in the mat

Every grange is advised to organize an

good sister TO act as matron while the

-Overseer James Draper, acting as
master of the National Grange, offici-
ally announces an amendment to the
constitution by which sixth-degree
members can now take the seventh de-

by which lands are inundated, Is q
nuisance, and courts of equity may by
abate or enjoin the same.
The Supreme Court OF Georgia has
decided that where a planter puts his
cotton into the hands OF another per-
son to sell, according to the custom of
trade, and that person does not account
for the same after selling, the original
owner can not recover from the pur-
chaser, but must look to the authorized
seller for proceeds of the sale. This
decision should teach planters the i'm
portance of not parting with their cot
ton without proper security from the
parties acting for them in its sale.
The Supreme Court of North Caro-
lima holds that where person mort
cages land the mortgage becomes en-
titled to the land, and in the absence
of any agreement to the contrary be-
comes entitled to all the crops pro-
duced upon it from year to year until
the mortgage debt is discharged. In an
other case the same court holds that a
mortgagee is the owner of the land and
can take possession at any time. One
who deals with the mortgagor in pos
session must take notice of the mort
gage if registered. Where mort
gagor in possession gives lien on the
crop and the MORTGAGE takes posses
sion, the contract for the lien is gone.
And if the mortgagor then becomes
the tenant of the mortgage, who
makes the advances, the lien of the
landlord becomes superior to other
liens.
According to Digest of Farm Laws,
by Henry Austin, the owner or occu-
pant of land may drive off animals tres
passing upon it and use any reasona-
BILE means for this purpose. He may
drive such animals into the highway,
but If he drives them any further
along the highway than is necessary
to keep them off his land, he is
responsible for any injury thereby
caused to their owner, such as their
loss by straying. The occupant may
turn off in similar manner animals
which are not trespassing, as when
they come upon his land through de-
feet of fences which it was his duty to
maintain. But in such cases, if the
animals are owned by an adjoining
proprietor to whom he owes this duty,
he must drive them upon their owners
premises, and not upon the highway,
under pain of penalty for their loss.
A person may drive trespassing ami
mails off his land by using dog for
the purpose if he exercises care.
For example, where the de-
PENDANT, finding the plaintiffs horse to
have strayed upon the premises, set a
ferocious dog upon it and seriously in
jured it, the defendant was held re-
spOnsible for the injuries thus infict-
ed. In the absence of statuary enact
ments requiring railroad companies tC

SIGNIFICANT WINK.
An Anecdote of the Famous CheerybIe
Brothers of Dickens.

An Anecdote of the Famous Cheeryble
Brothers of Dickens.
A great part of what is called a
mans success in life depends upon his
finding out in good season what his
natural bent is, and then following it.
James Nasmyth was particularly
fortunate in this respect Although
his father was an artist, and he him
self had no little aptitude for drawing
and painting, yet he was sure that he
was "cut out" for a machinist and a
machinist he became. Having learned
his trade, he went to Manchester to
start in business for himself, and there,
among other good people, he met the
Brothers Grant. the famous Cheeryblo
Brothers of Dickens He was first in
troduced to Daniel, who invited him
to his house, and presented him to his
"noble brother William" as Daniel
always called him. At the dinner
table young Nasmyth sat next to
William, and was asked many ques-
tions.
How old are youp'
"Twenty-six."
Rather young to begin business on
your own account"
"Yes; but have plenty of work in
me, and know how to be economical. /"
"What capital have you?" Nasmyth
confessed that he had only sixty-three
pounds.
The old gentleman thought that a
very small amount but after giving
his new friend sundry cautions, he
added that he must keep his heart up.
If some Saturday night you should
need money to pay off your hands, or for
any thing else, you will always find a
credit of five hundred pounds, at three
per cent, at my Office, and no security. "
Nasymth was, of course, as much
pleased as surprised, and, as he says,
could only whisper his thanks in re-
turn. To these Mr.. Grant responded
with squeeze of the hand, and a
peculiarly knowing wink.
This wink made most vivid i'm
preston upon the younger man. 1t
seemed full of all manner of kindness.
As he describes it, ''Mr. Grant seemed
to turn his eye round. and brought
his eyebrows down upon it in sud-
den and extraordinary manner"
The noble brother" proved every
whit as kind as young Nasmyth could
have expected or asked for; but i: trans
pired year or two afterward, that the
wink had no immediate connection
with his generosity. In fact the eye
that gave it was made of glass, II now
and then got out of place, and its
wearer had to force it back by that odd
contortion of his eyebrows, which,
taken in connection with the CONVEX.

all the blame to himself, which l would
not allow, and it ended by our going
down hand-in-hand to meet Aunt Pa
tience, who sat cool and calm in the
parlor. She had few words of adj
vice and warning for us both, and she
said to my husband:
Your mistake lay in supposing that
any woman could make success OF
her first weeks housekeeping when
she had never received the training OF

lecture, she said: "Now, Annie, if yor
