Farmers Can Now Continue ThrashinS
Night and Day.
Electricity has vocations in the green
fields and on the hillside as well as in
towns and cities. In many parts of the
country the electric light is most effec-
lively employed to tighten the labOrs of
the farmer and lengthen the time at his
disposal during the busy period of the
year, when the harvest has to be got in
shape for the market in the shortest
time possible. With the electric light
at command the days are twenty-fOur
hours long instead of fourteen, says
Electricity. The energetic farmer who
keeps abreast of the times is not con-
tent merely to carry on his thrashing
operations by day; he also works
through the night with the aid of the
vivid rays of the arc lamp. How much
this means to farmer only a farmer
can appreciate. Dl'~T5 which would
be caused by wet weather are avoided
by taking advantage Of dry spells and
clearing off the work in double quick
time. The proprietor of agricultural
machinery for hire is also gamer by
this arrangement, as the earnings of
his plant for a single season are great
~ increased.

Burial Mounds

Mr.. Reynolds has recently complet-
in Georgia, located on a bend of the
Savannah about three miles from Sill
yer Bluff. Its contents stamp it as one
OF the most remarkable yet opened.
They consist of human crania, pottery,
copper implements and ornaments,
galenite pipes. stone implements, pearl
and she'll beads and textile fabrics.
The crania were in fragments and in
An advanced stage of decay.
The pottery consisted of twenty
,hree pots ranging in size from small
larrow-neck jars to large urns of q
capacity of some sixteen gallons.
Some of these were elaborately
decorated with stamped patterns.
There were four celts OF hammered
copper. The value and importance OF
these were indicated by the fact that
they had been wrapped in cloth and
incased in bark. There were also thin
plates OF copper with figures in relief
similar in type to the Etowah mound
species. They were much broken
and so brittle that they could scarcely
be handled.
Sufficient traces only OF the textile
fabrics were preserved by contact
with the copper to determine their gen.
eraI character.
Eleven pipes, carved to represent
human and animal figures. were taken
from the mound.
Many stone implements Of the usual
type, such as spear-heads, celts,
CHS els, etc, were found.

The jug was Replenlshed.

m village not far from Boston
there were three old cronies who had
outlived their credit but not their ap-
petites. They were going on a fish
ing excursion one day, and they took
a gallon jug along for rum. When
they came to pool their assets they
could not raise enough for even a pint
OF the longed-for fire water. This was
a dilemma They scratched their
heads in dismay until one of them
scratched out an idea. Snatching up
the jug, he ran to the pump and filed
it about half full OF water, and then
marched into the store and called for
half gallon OF Medford rum. The
boy filled the measure and the man
held the jug. When the two quarts
were In the boy asked for his money,
and was told to charge it. This was
refused, and few high words ensued,
when the angry purchaser said, "Yery
well, take the rum out, then, but be
dashed careful that you do not take
more than you put in" The boy
measured out the two quarts, and the
man, with a half gallon of half-and-
half, marched triumphautly back to
his trembling companions.

Another Case Of Predestination.

A few hours before the engagement
at cambridge, Tenn, two members OF
the First Wisconsin cavalry had a
warm dispute over the matter of fore
ordination. One of them stoutIy
maintained that the time and place of
every mans death are appointed be-
forehand. With equal ferver the
other trooper maintained that the
belief in foreordination is the greatest
nonsense imaginable. Soon after the
engagement opened and the regiment
which had been fighting on foot was
forced TO beat hasty retreat, and the
believer in ioreordination and his
opponent in the recent debate were
two of the most nimble runners among
the Union troops. They happened to
meet when the pursuit ceased.
The man who had condemned the
theory of foreordination thought he
had good joke on the other.

the time of your death is foreor-
dained, what makes you run?"

The eoaFss meykp,
And the Story OF It Sent -Four
Victims to Hang.

'O-''aiD ~
Law reports Of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries contain nuner-
ous references TO supernatural occur
snces in the court and on the scafTold.
One Of the most remarkable records OF
this kind is connected with a murder
trial which took place in England
early in the reign OF the FIRST Charles.
Sir John Maynard, one OF the first
lawyers OF the century, is the author
tty for the supernatural events of the
trial, and in his quaint preface 10 his
notes he says he Thought good 10 re-
port the evidence which was given.
which many did hear that the memory
thereof might not be lost by mis-
carriage of papers otherwise" One
Johan Norkett farmers wife. had
lied, and at the coroner's quest
evidence was given proving that the
Eoman's throat had been cut from ear
o ear. At first the jury favored q
'erdict OF felo de Sc, and the body was
Inferred. But rumors became general
pointing to foul play. and the body was
-Xaumed.
Thirty days after the death the jury
assembled before the body and four
suspected persons were brought in.
The only evidence against the prison
ers was that they had slept in an ad-
joining room and that no one mad
passed through that room; therefore,
If she did not murder herself. they
must be the murderers." What took
place at the remarkable post-mortem
inquiry may best be described in the
words of witness at the subsequent
trial, who was described as an an
cient and grave person, minister to the
parish where this murder was com nit
ted" This estimable gentleman said:
They 1.-THE prisonersl did touch the
dead body, whereupon the brow OF the
dead, which was before livid color.
began TO have dew of gentle sweat arise
upon it, which increased by degrees till
the sweat ran down in drops upon the
face; the brow turned and changed TO IL
lively color, and the dead opened and
shut one OF her eyes and shut il again,
which she did three several times
She likewise thrust out the ring or
marriage finger three times and pulled
1t in again, and the finger dropped
blood on the ground"
Naturally enough such remarkable
evidence as this was received with
some suspicion by the court, although
the witness, to again quote Sir John
Maynard, "was a reverend person,
about 70 years of age, as could be
guessed. His testimony was delivered
gravely and temperately, but to the
great admiration of the auditory"
Ample confirmation Of an obviously
impartial character, was, however,
forthcoming, and the admiration"
changed to horror, so much SO that
the prisoners were convicted and two
OF them suffered death at the hand of
the common hangman. Neither OF
tne victims, one OF whom was an aged
woman, could ever be prevailed upon
- confess any completely in the crime.

A DREA AM DID Ii.
How a Murderer Was Caught and
Convicted.

How a Murderer Was Caught and
Convicted.
In 1851 an Irish murderer was con-
victed largely upon dream evidence.
A Waterford publican named Rogers
dreamed one night that he saw a man
murder another man on a green spot
on the summit of an adjoining noun
tain. He was able next day to de-
scribe both men with perfect accuracy
and did so to many of his friends. One
of the men was exceptionally strong,
the other weak and puny, but it WIS
the latter who, in the vision committed
the murder. Rodgers persuaded the
parish priest to accompany him TO the
spot, which he found without difficulty
but there seemed to be no traces Of
murder or struggle. Hence Rogers
got rather laughed at. Next day how
ever two men entered the saloon, and
Mrs. Rodgers at once recognized them
from her husbands description as the
heroes in the vision. Much alarmed,
she fetched her husband, who was also
certain they were the two men. When
they rose to leave Rogers begged the
one he expected to be murdered to re-
main, but without avail He nearly
tainted with fright after the men had
left and finally persuaded neighbor
to accompany him to the green spot
on the hill, where sure enough, the
tragedy of the dream had taken place
in reality.
The murderer was tracked and
caught and Rogers was the principal
witness. His recital of his dream was
SO vivid that the prisoner at once con-
fessed, adding that he killed his COM
panion exactly as foretold in the dream.
The weapon used was a knife, and as
eight stabs were seen by Rogers in
his vision, so the murderer admitted
that he drove his knife up to the hand
10 in his companions body exactly
that number of times.

The Three Classes Of Communitn.

There are but three classes of men
in every community, the retrograde,
the stationary aud the progressive.
The first two have little or no regard
for the newspaper and its influence,
and read it simply to see what is 60
ing on, but who could fold their arms
and see it die with utmost campla-
cency, leaving the progressive class
the only real sufferers. The retrograde
and stationary classes OF every COM
munity are generally the critics of the
newspapers, and as Steele says: "Oi
all mortals critic is the silliest," for
by inuriug himself to examine every
thing, whether Of consequence or not,
he never looks on anything but with a
design OF passing sentence upon it.

The Eufant TerribIe

This really occurred three days ago
in this city, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch.
A lady from Chicago was visiting
the family, and it so happened, owing
to a chapter of accidents, that the lady
of the house met her guest for the first
time at the dinner table. The hostess
is partial to powder, and in the eve
ming increases her natural pallor with
its assistance. After the conventional
embrace the lady from Chicago said:
You must have had a very tiring day

CATCHING A pggs.
A BOY VINO Tackled a Pretty Bis



II was my ambition when a boy to
catch some does in winter when the
snow was deep, and without injury TO

a three-months-old pup. ! went to the
bills 20 catch a doe. From the top Of
the hills, where was deer yard, we
soon started deer, but could not
overtake it until it reached the river
The stream had been high from a
recent thaw, and in that condition had
frozen over with three inches OF ice
1t had suddenly fallen, leaving the
middle free from ice, with strip
several yards wide adhering to the
banks but a foot or more above the
water. The deer was discovered
lying on the bank aud under the ice
nicely hidden. / prepared to cross
the river aud break down the ice
above the deer by jumping upon it,
and, as the ice fell, to catch the deer
about the neck and hold her until my
brother could fasten a birch with
about her neck.
Thus | did, but my doe was a fun
grown buck, his horns had dropped
of some time before. As / caught him
about the neck he took me out into the
middle OF the stream. 1t was rs full
OF rocks and boulders as could be, with
plenty of water rushing between. Dur
ing our short journey together the
deer and | were in all possible positions,
and what with the cold water, the
bumps on the rocks and kicking re-
ceived, / was never more bruised nor
more angry in my life. But / held the
buck; and my brother put on the withe.
We then got the deer to a smooth
place on the bank, and holding on to
the withe let him go. The deer gave
d jump high into the air, fell on his
back, putting his hind feet into the
loop about his neck did his best to
break the loop. Not succeeding he
rot up, and we led him quietly toward
home. Several times on the way he
cropped buds from the bushes; but
utter a few days, in spite OF the great
est care, he died, and as we said,
from homesickness. But If he bruised
himself as badly as he did me, his
death might we'll be attributed to an
othar cause. Forest and Stream
