Tho Cars Fayorite Ring.

The car of Russia is said to be very
superstitious and to have great conf
dence in relics. He wears ring in
which is imbedded a piece of the true
cross. The sacred wood cannot be
seen, the ring having really been made
round it, and if there be extant a piece
of the true cross the piece in the pos
session of tho car would seem to be
authentic. 1t was originally one of
the treasures of the Vatican, and was
presented to an ancestor of the present
car for diplomatic reasons. The value
which the car sets upon this ring,
with its imbedded relic, is shown by
the following fact: Some two years
and half ago the car was travelling
from st. Petersburg to Moscow. He
suddenly discovered that he mad for
gotten the ring. The train was stopped
Immediately and q special messenger
sent flying back in an express engine
for it. Nor would the car allow the
train to move, until eight hours after
wards, the messenger returned with
the ring. New York Home Journal.

The Unfavorable Opinion of One of the
Finny Tribe Breaks an Engagement.
The fates of nations and of men have
been altered by trifies over and over
again, but it has been reserved for a
Philadelphia youth to have his destiny
altered by the musical perceptions OF
a gold fish. There is family in this
city, the two chief ornaments mot
that there is not sufficiency of other
bric-a-brac) of whose Spruce street
drawing room are q large gold fish
and a grand piano. Every member
of the family is well known amateur
musician and determined ichthyolo-
gist as we'll, and their boast of the
possession of q musical fish has been
for some time past matter of mingled
jest and wonderto their friends. One
thing is certain, that on every occa-
sion when the family gathered round
the piano to play chamber music,
which is their invariable diversion
whenever they are not attending con-
certs, the largest of the gold fish has
swum slowly to the side of the glass
stuck his nose against it and remained
there in an apparent dreamy ecstasy
as long as the music continued. He
has been seen to do this over and over
again, and the story which is now be-
ing told on the eldest son seems to
prove that there was method in his
performances.
About the middle of the winter the
said eldest son, a devoted violinist, fell
to all appearances in love. In this his
sisters could have seen nothing to dis
approve, especially as the lady was
young, charming and very well off.
But what they could not tolerate was
the contention of their brother that
she could sing. This was her weak
point, and it may be said at once, as
long as no names are being mentioned,
that her voice, method and songs were
all atrocious. But her lover was blind
ed and the family peace was threat
ened
| Finally one evening matters had so
far advanced that it had become nee
essary for the heads of the house to
take official recognition of the affair
by inviting her to tea. To tea she was
invited, and she brought her music.
| Tea was eaten and to the drawing room
they adjourned. The eldest sister

father, mother and eldest son played a
Schubert trio for piano, violin and
cello; then the visitor was asked to
sing. All this while the gold fish had
been at his accustomed post.
Lovingly the ardent swain rolled
out the music and seated himself at
the piano to play the accompaniment.
But as the opening notes of "Ohe,
Mamma" rang on. shrill and false a
cry was heard from the youngest
daughter. ooh, OH" she exclaimed,
''loolI at the goldfish" All eyes
turned instinctivcly to tho aquarium.
The fish was seen, with quick whisll
of his tail, disappearing rapidly into
his weedy grotto. The young lady
stood aghast; nobody spoke; the song
was never finished.
And, what is more, the eldest son,
though he made desperate efforts to
conceal his chagrin from the family,
has quite evidently ceased his pursuit
of his quondam inamorata.-Philadel-

case. An Atlanta youngster, who is
the victim of parents who believe in
such cure-alls, was taken i'll the other

determined on one line of treatment.
The mother was certain that totally
different treatment was necessary.
They discussed and disputed the mat

agreed that both treatments should be
tried. In the morning the child takes

she takes the mothers dose. And at

Pals Gnlora

The packing of goods in bucket pals
has grown to such enormous proper
tons that it would be next to impos-
sible to get any idea of the number of
buckets turned out for such purposes.
With candy in pals, spices in pals,
tobacco in pals, and what not in pals,
the country has been perfectly flooded
with them, so much so that whereas
they could formerly be disposed of by
the dealer for from fifteen to twenty
five cents each, they now go begging
almost at any prices, and are getting
to be little less than drug. st. Louis

The Pail Mall Gazette says that, &C
cording to the statements Of the most
experienced English printers, the
moisture of the English climate pre-
vents the printing of such fine illus
trations in England as those which
make American books and magazines
such masterpieces of the printers art.
The dry, clear American air is credited
with at least half the success of Amer
lean prints. This, if true, will explain
why the same results have not been
obtained in England with the same

A Memorable Apple Tree.

Angelo Pacha, color-sergeant of Com
G, First Michigan cavalry, under Captain
Alexander, was in the battle of Gettys-
burg. On the third day of the fight,
when the buglc call sounded, he drank
water out Of his tin cup. He placed it in
the crotch Of an apple tree and joined
his command, and forgot all about it.
Recently he went to the battlefield and
bought the tree for 325, and had the tree
cut up and carried to his home. The
cup was completely embedded in the
crotch of the tree, and Angelo prizes the
relic beyond anything that he owns. He
gave away parts of the apple tree to his
old army comrades. - Cincinnati En-

WATERING TIE STOCK.

Although some horses, unless very
kcsty, only drink a small quantity each
Fle, they should have it all the more
punctually. They want that little just as
badly as the horse which drinks a greater
quantity. Many horses like to take their
time to drink. They should be allowed
that time, and should e be hurried
away from the water. Give them all the
time they want.
Some horses are far more particular
shout the quality of the water they drink
than others. They drink only pure, cold
water with a relish. Given any other
they will not drink heartily nor thrive so
we'll. All horses, and indeed all kinds OF
stock, do the best when they have pure
water md they should have it often.
Even the hog, that is fed largely with
liquid food, should have its drink of pure
water often.
Cows that drink impure water soon
show the effect in the quality of their
milk. It is in dry, hot weather, and
during long, hot days, that this subject is
most important to the farmer. When the
stock cease to thrive, the capital invested
in them ceases to bear interest.-PrairSe

Canton Silks,

The silks of Canton come entirely from
the silk worms of the mulberry tree Dom
boz mori). The species ta-t'san and lun-
yue are raised principally in this province.
The first corresponds to the variety
known as annual; the second to the poly
vo2nines species. The ta-t'san, or large
worms, give a silk of beautiful texture
and of great brilliancy. The lun-yue,
from which seven consecutive harvests
are made, doesonot produce a cocoon so
fully supplied OF silk SO lustrous. The
eggs are Matched in the beginning OF Feb
ruary. The cocoons produced at this
period are saved for production, and the
first harvest does not begin till the second
Matching. After the fourth moulting the
silk worm, having become clear and
transparent, is placed der frames with
| cells of bamboo to flSGocoon. The
greatest care is taken by silk growers in
educating the silk-worm. They are oc-
cupied almost the whole year. The null
berry tree is also cultivated with great
care. The trees are planted on plains in
parallel rows at a distance of four or five
feet of one another. They are generally
young trees, trimmed each year and re-
newed every five years. 1t takes at least
twenty piculs of leaves to nourish an ounce
and a half of silk worms from the day OF
Matching to the day of placing in the
frames for TIE cocoons. It is estimated
that 100 pounds of good e9coons give
twenty pounds of silk.-American Sill

GOOD BUTTER MAKING.

It may be A. D. 1915 before the CO.
operative creamery, in some of its forms,
will have superseded farm butter making,
however DESTROYS we may be of its earlier
adoption by dairy people in general. In
the interval, an immense amount of but
ter will continue to be made at the farm
homes. That this butter would make o
motley collection as in the past, zone can
d pute, but there is after all constantly
decreasing amount of good butter put
upon the market. If people could be in
duced TO discard their individuality in
making, and adopt some few, definite
rules, SO that butter-making could have
system and sameness about it, there
would be a great advance made. Toe
Jew realize that their way of making il
not the method by which the butter il
made which brings the highest price. No
one is selling butter now at advance, and
paying prices, who still clings to "Grand-
mothers" way of making. Neither does
the market put a premium on butter made
from actively sour cream, nor butter with
pronounced butter-milk flavor, or made
sharp with over-salting. Butter, to bring
a high price, must be of cream not over
thfrty-six hours old, slightly acid. II
| must be washed free from butter-milk
with weak brine, and sailed not to ex-
coed three-quarters of an to the

A GORE FOR HOG CHOLERA.

A remedy for hog cholera given by the
Georgia Department of Agriculture is,
flowers of sulphur, sulphate of iron Cop
peras) and madden, two pounds of each,
black anthony and nitrate Of Ir0tassa
(saltpetre), half a pound of each and two
ounces of arsenic. Mix this in ten gal
Ions of Cruel for 100 hogs or give q pint
dose to each hog daily. Give it to hogs
both sick and well where the latter have
been exposed. The sick must be sepa-
rated from the well animals and both
classes removed to new and clean quarters
or pastures. Burn the old beds and
sprinkle the floor Of the sheds with a So
luton of one pint of pure carbolic acid
to ten gallons of soft water. All dis
charges and impurities should be deeply
buried or treated with a solution of one
ounce of chloride of zinc to two gallons
of water. The persons attending the
sick animals should not have anything to
do with the well hogs, and all food and
water must be clean and pure. If these
directions are faithfully followed the dis
ease may be stayed and stamped out.
Every farmer should inspect his hogs and
all animals daily, and act promptly on
the first appearance Of disease.

A Monkey Trained to Steal.

There was told in my hearing the other
day, a tale which carries with it a moral.
A gentleman who travels a good deal,
being a bachelor with a good fortune
and plenty of leisure, has, when in town,
a suit of rooms at the house of his mar
ried sister. He returned recently from o
trip rather unexpectedly, reaching home
in the evening. His sister, who received
him, a~pologized for the fact that his
apartment was not wholly in order.
owe have a new chambermaid," she
said, Sand l haven't wanted to tell her too
many things at once, and as l didn't
know you were coming, I didn't bother
her about your room. Twill send her up
the first thing in the morning"
In the morning the new chambermaid
did, indeed, come the first thing, and the
gentleman was still in bed. He, however,
slipped into his d~ressing-room to remain
until the maid should do whatever was
necessary in his chamber, and taking a
book he sat down to read while he was
waiting. He always carried with him a
diamond ring, which had been his moth
er's, which he sometimes wore and rame-
times had in his pocket. This he mad
left with his watch on the stand, by the
head of his bed.
He sat reading for some time, and even
after he heard the maid go out he kept
on with his book. Suddenly he heard a
slight noise in his chamber, and, folding
his dressing gown about him, he opened
the door and looked in. The chamber
was apparently empty, but his eye was
caught by a cord which seemed to extend
from the open window toward the bed.
| going forward to examine this he per-
ceived a monkey, till then hidden from
sight by the bed, that, with his diamond
| ring in his clutches was making off. The
owner of the ring shouted and ran for
ward when the thievish animal dropped
| its prev and skurried out of the window,
as fast as its skinny little legs would
carry it, and, picking up the jewel to as
sure himself that it was all right, the
gentleman reached the window in time
to see an organ grinder making off with
the monkey on his shoulder. There was
no doubt that he had trained the beast to
climb into windows, and to steal any val
liable upon which he could lay hands,
and the incident may serve as a warning
to those who allow organ monkeys to
scramble at will over their chamber blinds
I and windows.
But the impressive aspect of the story,
| if one considers, is the position in which
the chambermaid would have been put
had the owner of the ring appeared on
the scene but a moment later.-Prou6deaet

The Hon. MIR. Cody-and " Buffalo BILL"

Fort Davenport was q twelve-company
post, and was garrisoned by ten troops of
the Thirty-third Cavalry and two COM
panies of the Seventy-frst Infantry. The
quarters were well built and spacious.
The e~nterprising trader had np;onnsup two
apartments with billiard and cardtables,
which he called respectively the officers
club room and the mems room. It was
in the aforementioned 0enthese apart
ments that Bill Cody made his now some
what famous reply to a Captain OF the
Fifty-ffth. It was o after the en-
gsgement at Thin Knobs, where Cody
had availed himself of the opportunity to
scalp an Indian. Several officers were
conversing in the room together, when
one expressed it as his opinion that Cody
ought not to scalp. He said: "It is all
right enough for the Indians to scalp;
they know no better. But Cody ought
to be above such things."
The scout who was being criticised
was standing in the doorway, and though
he could not be seen by the inmates OF
the room, yet he heard every word that
was said. As the speaker concluded,
Cody walked into the ROOM. He certain
