found an ing. At this juncture the
driver CLAIM to be very sick, and his
demeanor am appearance bore out his
statements. He had violent pains, as if
taken with collie; but after an hour he
felt able to return to the temple, leaving
me to follow the route until I could see
if we would be able to reach the road.
After an hours walk I found that we
could, and in great good spirits I set out
on my return.
It was a very sultry day, with no air
stirring, and I had to travel slowly. 1t
was fully three hours after I left the
temple before I approached it on my re-
turn. Everything was quiet. but the
moment L entered the main enclosure I
! noticed that the vehicles were gone. In
the centre of the enclosure lay the body
of the driver, his head cut clean off his
body, but neither in that nor the smaller
enclosure could I find any of the others
of the party, living or dead. They had,
it seemed, been surprised. made prisoners.
and carried off in the vehicles. No sooner
was I satisfied of this than I dashed away
for the jungle, and set out in the direction
of Lucknow. That night I fell in with
a party headed for the same haven, and
we reached it in safety next day, to be
penneS up there and take a hand in the
siege later ON. -
It was moi until British rule was firmly
restored that I returned to Seetapore.
Almost the first familiar face my eyes be-
held was that of my treacherous servant,
who had let go of the native cause just
at the right time to ingratiate himself
with the conquerors, and had been put
in a position of trust. /, however, caused
his speedy arrest and trial, and only then
did it come out that every soul hiding in
that ruin had been taken to a spot about
a mile away and butchered in cold blood.
Ten of the forty or fifty natives impli-
Gated were captured, and these were
hung on the same gallows at one time.
In defending his case in court the servant
said to the Judge:
GHOST Worshipful sahib, but for this
one meaning mel all would have been
spared. Had he not run away, we should
have killed him alone and simply robbed
the others. You should therefore punish
him and let ule go free. "-NeV York San.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Don't forget the pickle barrel.
Don't forget to keep the strawberry
bed clean.
Keep the young trees mulched OF well
cultivated.
Kill the weeds early; do not let them
go to seed.
Rub the sprouts off the fruit trees be-
fore they become tough.
Burdocks and thistles are best har-
vested before they bloom.
The grind-stone is a "cheap hand' in
the hay field. Use him often.
Whca you have the money in hand is
lie best time to count the harvest.
Good oil, applied often, makes easy
work. and saves the machine for next
year.
Alsike gives smaller crops than red
clover, Dut the quality Of the hay is
better.
Japan buckwheat is one of the "novel-
ties' that has come to stay. All reports
are favorable.
Treat ali raspberry and blackberry
sprouts as weeds, unless you wish them
for setting out.
You can't mortgage your crop or farm
and keep on good terms with your credit
ors and family.
If you do not need the young beets for
greens, thin them out anyway and give
them to the COWS.
Have a few bolts and nuts, also a
wrench, chisel and hammer in the tool
box of the mower.
If you planted your garden in long
rows, isn't it fun to run the c%ultlvator
up and down them?
Vineyardists do not practice pincIins
off the ends of vines or summer pruning
as much as formerly.
Don't kill notwithstanding birds.
They viii save much more than they de,
stroy for any gardener or fruit grower.
Orchard grass is a good drought re-
sister. California farmers pronounce il
superior to timothy, red top and blue
grass.
Botanists seem to agree that wheats do
not cross readily; indeed, it has been
/ held that they, do not cross at all, but are
elf-fertilizers."'

fruit trees apply a solution composed Of

. HINTS ON HANDLING BEES.

before swarmlng bees fill them
selves with honey, which supports then
in their new home until they get to work
again. Ehis is an exceedingly fortunate
thing for the beekeeper, as it makes them
much more kindly and easily handled
than they otherwise would be. With bees,
as with men, they are best natured when
on a full stomach. In the colder portions
of the country protecting the hives is
necessary, either by placing them in eel
lars or packing in chaff; in milder Sec
tons and in the South they will pass the
winter well on the summer stands. In
handling bees fearlessness is a wonderful
protection. A person who fights them OF
tries to drive them away is quite sure to
be stung. Still, it must be admitted that
there is something about persons that
gives to a few immunity from bee sting
that other cannot obtain.
The safest way for the average bee
keeper is to protect ones self as well as
possible by the dress, use a smoker, and
proceed as you would about any other
work, taking care not to crush OR iniure
: bee. Occasionally a colony will attack
q horse that has been driven or led too
near their stand. When this occurs they
often exhibit a vindictiveuess and perse-
verance that is not only wonderful, but
dangerous. Horses that have been heated
by driving and become sweaty are more
obnoxious to them than the same animals
would be when in their normal condition
egyazing near the hive. There are SC
4hny things to be learned about bees tina
persons without experience in the bust
ness, who design keeping them, SHOULD
buy one of the many books on the sub
ject or subscribe for a good paper de
voted to beekeeping.-New York Wora.

DYsBUDDING HORNS.

The horns of young calves may be pre-
vented from growing by the easy opera
ton of removing the germ of the horn.
The skin is cut and the flap raised to ex~
pose the small nub of the horn, which IS
removed with a small sharp gouge or a
knife at its junction with the bone Of the
skull. There is no union as there IS
sfterward when the horn grows to and
from the skull, and the nub may be
wholly removed. When this is done the
skin is laid back, and the wound smeared
with tar, and heals very quickly. The
horn is thus destroyed.-Nep YORK. Times.

There is a great passion nowadays
for antique articles, and II has given
birth to world OF shame antiquities.
An army OF handicraftsmen are busily
engaged in the manufacture OF these
wares, which are palmed off on con-
fiding people as being 200 or 300 years
old, and dated from any desired land
mark in history.
Old chairs, old tables, old silly yer,
old jewelry and old anything, even il
made last week, have great value in
the eyes OF many persons satisfied
with antiquity in appearance. Worm
eaten furniture is now one OF the
RACES. This stuff is easily produced
with the aid Of bird shot, which is
fired into 1t. Old houses, torn down,
furnish worm eaten timber which is
turned to good account in fabricating
old sets OF furniture.
Old door-keys, medieval bellows, gilt

An OLD CUSTOM.
ueyg Land Was Transferred In
Early California Days.

The other day an ancient document
was unearthed from The bottom Of Q
chest where il lad lair for couple ol
generations, which was received with
lively interest by some Of the. parties
named in it, as a souvenir Of an an
cient regime, whose memories are af.
iectionately cherished, and it pos
sessed interest also TO us Of a later
date as depicting a curious custom by
which the transfer Of real property
was made memorable, and matter OF
public notoriety. Mr.. S. A. Pollard is
kind enough 10 show il TO us. In these
days we have Recorders Office, where
every document is copied into books
and duly indexed, so that there can
be no question about the title Of land
30 far as documentary evidence is con-
cerned, that cannot be resolved by
any one interested. But before the
days Of Recorders offices, the posses
sion Of the paper evidence OF title or
transfer was very important, and next
TO that, perhaps equally important,
was proof Of how the possession OF
land was acquired, and some ceremony
was gone through with, which would
tend TO fix the fact in the minds OF
witnesses called TO note the transfer.
It was generally some act Of control
or ownership on the part Of the new
owner. In this case, which was the
sale by John NJ. Price in l848 to Fran
cisco Branch OF the land which is now
the home Of Mr.. J. 7. Andrews. the
deed. after reciting the running Of the
boundry lines, ETC., goes on to state:
"Taking by the hand ID. Francisco
Branch in the presence Of the witness
ses, told him that in virtue OF my
authority | give you possession OF this
land. He replied that he accepted it.
And in demonstration OF said posses
sion he pulled up grass and scattered
rock. San Luis Obispo Tribune,
