Medical Lake, so called on account

tcau. in southern Washington, at an
altitude of twenty-three hundred feet
above the level of the Pacific. is the
Dead Sea of America. 1t is about mile
long, and from half to three-fourths

been found growing in or near it's
edges. 1t is all but devoid of animal life,

PEARLS IN HISTORY.
One That Made an Expensive Dish 70
Cleopatra.

one IhaJ MADE an Expensive DISH Tor
Cleopatra.
The value of pearls has been in all
ages commensurate with their beauty
In the east, especially, they have been
greatly admired, and enormous sums
of money have been paid for them.
Pliny observes that pearls are the most
valuable and excellent of all precious
stones. and from our Saviour's compar-
ing the kingdom of Heaven to a pearl,
it is evident that they must have been
held in very high estimation at that
time. 1t is said that Julius Caesar gave
"a pearl to the mother of Marcus Brutus
that was valued at e4S All 10 S. of our
present money; and Cleopatra dissolved
one worth e250,000 in vinegar, which
she drank at the supper with Mare An
tony.
From time immemorial there have
been fisheries of pearl in the Persian
gulf, the Red sea, and in the bays of
Ceylon: and when Colum bus arrived in
the Gulf of Paria on his first voyage to
America he was astonished to find the
precious gems Astounding there in I'M
paralleled quantities His men landed,
and saw the Indian women adorned
with splendid pearls round their arms,
as well as round their neclls; but their
possessors seem to have been perfectly
ignorant of the true value of the gems,
as it is recorded that an Indian woman
gave one of the sailors four rows of her
pearls merely in exchange for broken
earthenware plate.
The Spanish king forbade any one to
go within fifty leagues of the place
where such riches were found without
the royal permission, and took pos
session of the fisheries for himself; but
so cruelty did the Spaniards behave to
the natives, making them perforce
dive for them, and brutality ill-treating
them when they We're unsuccessful in
pearl finding, that zone morning at
dawn the Indians assailed the Span
iards. made a sanguinary slaughter of
them, and, with dancing and leaping,

The Doughty sparrow.

A Massachusetts, man, driving along
a road little frequented by travellers,
saw ahead what appeared to be solid
mass of sparrows, every one making
all the noise it could. and jumping up
AMI down, striking at something in the
road. The man left his team and went
forward to investigate. He had trouble
'm driving away the sparrows, and
when he succeeded he saw a large
snake on the ground, wriggling around
painfully. The man gave it knock
with a stick and finished it. Then he
drove away, leaving the sparrows pull
ing their enemy to pieces. Golden

LIVE ANIMALS WEIGHT.


The following rules may be applied
to estimate the weight of live animals:
Take a string, put it around the beast,
standing square, just behind the Shout
der blade: measure on foot rule the
feet and inches the animal is in circum-
ference; this is called the girth; then
with the string measure from the bone
of the tail which plumbs the line with
the hinder part of the bullock; direct
the line along the back to the fore part
of the shoulder blade; take the dimen-
sions on the foot rule as before, which
is the length, and work the figures in
following manner: Girth of the bull
lock, six feet four inches; length, five
feet three inches, which multiplied to-
gether, make 81 square superficial
feet that multiplied by 23-the num-
Der of pounds allowed to each super
fetal foot of cattle measuring less
than seven and more than five in
girth-makes T13 pounds. Where the
animal measures less than nine and
more than seven feet in girth, 81 is the
number of pounds to each superficial
foot. Again, suppose a pig or any
small beast should measure two feet
in girth and two feet along the back,
which, multiplied together, make four
square feet; that multiplied by IL
the number of pounds allowed for each
square foot of cattle measuring less
than three feet in girth-makes Al
pounds. Again, suppose calf or
sheep should measure four feet six
inches in girth and three feet nine
inches in length, which multiplied to-
gether, makes 1917 square feet that
multiplied by 1.-THE number of
pounds allowed to all cattle measur-
ing less than five and more than three
feet in girth-makes 264 ponds

A HOUSE WITH A ROMANCE.
First the Home of a Quaint Quaker and
Then Of q Lottery King.

First the Home of a Quaint Quaker and
Then OF q Lottery King.
On tongue of wooded land formed
by the Glebe and Goldsborough creeks
In Talbot county, there is a house with
romantic story. When, in 1861, Wen
lock Christison, the Quaker, was seized
by Puritan mob, headed by the Rev.
Seaborn Cotton, tried, and condemned
by Gov. Endicott to die, pardoned by
the King, and let off with a fogging at
the carts tail on the highway, he
found sanctuary in Maryland, where
Lord Baltimore granted him asylum on
the tongue of land that cools itself in
the pleasant waters of st. Michael's
r1ver-Miles they call it now. Here the
indomitable Quaker abode and pros
pered, wearing his hat in the presence
OF governors and magistrates, and
testifying for 1.-The Truth and the
Light" without fear of clubs or cart
tails. Those easy-going eastern shore
men actually made him a surgess, and
he and his descendants long dwelt in
peace in the old brick manor house, of
which fragment still survives.
In time, by lapse of heirs, the place
fell to the possession of Richard France,
the famous lottery king" of Mary
land, who built the turreted Villa"
there, and adorned the grounds with
fountains and winding walks, conserv-
atories and garden gods, to the effu-
slve wonder and admiration of the ma
41t&sves. But Maryland, taking up scru-
PIES set her face against lotteries, and
France for time coquetted with Della
ware, until Delaware in like manner
turned prudish; and the last we hear
of the lottery king" is that he had
died in debtors prison.
Then the garden gods fell on their
faces and thorns sprang up and cholSed
them, and all was desolation and re-
spectability. Again the Villa waited
not in vain; for one day the windows
were opened, exposing all the CHASTITY
gaps in their panes, and a strange man
untidy and shock-headed, pottered
about in the weedy and seedy garden, a
grim and churlish recluse. But negro
curiosity, once sharply piqued, is per-
sistent and penetrating, and forthwith
Ethiopia began to gossip about the
strange man, how that he was black
smith from Connecticut, and an oracle
In local political clubs, one to whom
''Big Six" was spell to conjure with.
And presently the disheveled interloper
was joined by bearded and venerable
companion, with head like a pear,
wno lurked and waited behind the
close gates and the screen of shrub
berry. Then furtive yacht, at night
ia st. Michael's river, took the bearded
Inystery aboard, and was off to the bay
and the sea; and the police who went
poking about the place day or two
later, looked foolish and asked one an
other inane conundrums about the cum
ming fitting of Boss Tweed. Century

TRAINING THE COLT.
The Process shouId Begin with the Life
of the Animal


Some weeks since a subscriber lost
his life by breaking a two-year old
colt The colt had been gentle
through all the process of breaking,
up to the time of the disastrous dem
onstration. But never having been
accustomed to harness or driving I'M
til a short time before, the animal was
actually nervous and, as is always the
case, under such circumstances, was at
all times liable to fright and to do
damage. The colts training, as has
been said hundreds of times, should
begin with the life of the colt, and be-
fore it is ever hitched to a wagon it
should be practically broke. 1t is
gross folly to hitch a strong, ignorant
colt to vehicle and take seat behind
the animal. Any man who does it
takes his life in his hand Before
hitching the colt up familiarize it with
every duty of the horse except pulling.
The colt or horse can entertain but
one idea at time, and hence can be
taught only one thing at time.
Naturally, therefore, it cannot be
taught to wear harness, drive,
guide and pull at the same
time. 1t may be forced to do
it, but it may take it into its head
to do some forcing itself Be-
gin to halter break when the colt is
two or three days old; teach it to lead
by tying it beside the mother on the
road, but only for a short distance at
first, Then accustom it to harness,
first bit of wood tied over the head
with strings, then surcingle, then
breast strap, then collar, first one
open at the top, and then one put on
over the head, and so on until it is ac-
customed to a full set of harness. Then
place the harnessed colt alongside of
the mother, as in this figure. Fasten

Friendship Among Animals.

Nothing in animal life is. perhaps,
more interesting or curious than some
of the friendships formed between
animals. Not a few vicious horses have
been rendered comparatively good
tempered by having as a companion a
dog, cat or donkey; but it has general
ly happened that when the companion
animal has died the presence of an
other of the same species have proved
the reverse of agreeable. Is it instinct
or some sort of refined reasoning that
leads two animals entirely different to
choose companions in this way? In
stinct is a mystic kind of word and so
singularly plastic that it can be ac-
commodated to almost any expression.
Some people rank instinct next to
reason, while others would appear to
place 1t on a higher level than any
faculty with which man is endowed;
but when two animals naturally OPP
posed to each othel take a mutual lill-
ing to each other there must be some
sort OF subtle agency at work. 49, Breed

STRONG FODDER TABLE.
The Quickest and Cheapest Method OF

The Quickest and Cheapest Method OF
Handling Stock Corn.
Many practical farmers find that the
quickest, easiest and most economical
method of handling shock corn is to
husk it in the field as soon as ripe and
bind the fodder in bundles prepara-
tory to hauling to the barn. To facil-
itate the work of husking and binding
the fodder, Elnathaa Head, of Iowa,
uses table of his own construction
which is well shown in the accompany

eight-inch boards ten feet long nailed
about fourteen inches apart thus allow

them. The legs are about two or two

shaft; then have a line running from
the other side of the bit through the
turret ring, as shown in illustration,
to the driver. Now you have the colt
so that it can be readily driven by the
side of the mother, and nothing re-
mains to be done but to put the ami
NAL in the shafts at the proper time.
To prevent the colt from getting into
the wheel, a bent pole may be attached
to the shaft at one end and the other
end attached to piece of iron firmly
keyed to the nut of the wheel.-Farm-
