THEIR OWN GRAVES.

The punishment which follows wrong do
ing is sometimes so evidently Just and APP
propriate that II is natural to speak Of II ms
"poetic justice" The penalty Is not only
deserved, but 1t is so neatly adapted to the
in its fitness. Under this head comes an
order Of General Scott's, lately printed in
The Magazine Of American History.
General Scott was In command at Rock
Island when the cholera broke out there
and altar various injunctons in this order
rs TO sobriety and cleanliness, he adds this
curious paragraphs
''In addition to the foregoing, the senior
Surgeon present recommends the use OF
flannel shirts, flannel drawers, and wooden
stockings, but the Commanding General
who has seen much OF disease, knows that
II is intemperance which, in the present state
OF the atmosphere, generates and spreads
the calamity and that when once spread,
good and temperate men are likely to take
the infection.
"He, therefore, peremptorily commands
that every soldier or ranger who shall be
found drunk or sensibly intoxicated after
the publication OF this order, be compelled
as soon as his strength will permit, 10 dig
grave at suitable burying place large
enough for his own reception, as such grave
cannot fail soon TO be wanted for the
drunken man himself or some drunken COM
panion. The order is given as well to serve
for the punishment of drunkenness as to
spare good and temperate men the labor of
digging graves for their worthless compan-
ions"

yaIuc Of n Minnie.

Napoleon, who know tho valuo Of
time, remarked that il was the quarter
hours that won battles. The value Of
minutes has been often recognized,
aud auy person watching railway
clerk handing out tickets and change
during tho last few minutes available
must have been struck with how much
could bo done in these short periods
of time.
At the appointed hour the train
starts and by and by is carrying pas
sengers Mt the ratio OF sixty miles nm
hour. In second You are carried
twenty-nino yards. In one twenty
ninth part of a second you pass over
one yard, Now, one yard is quite an
Rppreciable distance, but one twenty
ninth OF second is period which
cannot be appreciated.
Yet il is when we como 10 planetary
and stellar motions that the notion of
the infinite divisibility OF time dawns
upon us in new light. II would seem
that no portion of time, however mi
croscopio, is unavailable. Nature can
perform prodigies, not certainly in
less than no time, but in portions of it
so minute ns to be altogether incon-
ceivable. The earth revolves on her
axis in twonty-four hours. At tho
equator her circumference is $4,000
miles. Hence, in that part of the
earth a person is being carried cast
ward at tho rate of 500 yards per
second--.thas is tho moving over a
yard, whose length is conceivable, in
the period of one five hundred aud
ninth part OF second, of which we
can have no conception at all.
But more, tho orbital motion OF the
earth round tie sun causes the former
to perform a revolution of nearly 600,-
600, 900 miles in year, or somewhat
less than 20, coo miles au hour, which
is more than 1000 miles in n minute.
Here, then, our second carries us tho
long distance of about nineteen miles.
The mighty bali thus flies about mile

WhiIe Elephants.

Knighthood is not an honor that
you can obtain in Siam as easily as
you can in many other countries.
You have to qualify for it by captur-
ing a white elephant, which is, by all
accounts, a good deal more difficult
than to write indifferent poetry.
The white elephant is the National
emblem of Siam, and all the speci.

the royal stables and live on the fat
of the land. There are five of them
at present in honorable captivity.

/ want TO speak to YOU about this drink
and TO point out to you the mistakes you and
others are apt TO make.
First. You say at docs you good" This
Is a decided mistake. Calculate honestly,
by the month OF the year, all the good and
all the evil it has done you, and you will find
that instead OF really doing you good, Il has
done you great deal OF harm.
Second. But you say, "That arises from
the abuse and not the proper use OF the
article.' Here again you are mistaken. The
abuse arises out Of the use, from ITS peculiar
influence upon the human body. Its use al
ways has led and always will lead to abuse.
II thoughtless boys play with gunpowder,
danger is always near, and II men drink
liquids containing spirits they get more
thirsty, become highly stimulated and arc
almost sure to get more or less intoxicated.
Third. But you reply, "why did God send
these liquors II they were not to be drunk2'
On this point you are again mistaken. God
never did send them, any moro that He sent
gunpowder, swords, cannons or cannon
balls. Neither barley nor barley-water,
malt nor malt-wator, the juice Of the grape
nor the juice Of the sugar-cane will produce
the least intoNication In its natural state.
But men take these substances and by a
chemical process manufacture them into In
toxicating liquor. and in this state Ignorant
people have generally conceived that they
were Gods gifts.
Fourth You say, "If doctors recommend
these drinks. they must bo good" l reply,
not necessarily Doctors are not always
right But II they recommend them for
medicine this is a pretty clear proof that
they ought not to be taken as beverage.
Reader, in abstaining you are quite safe, and
be assured that the favorable opinion enter
tained by many OF Intoxicating liquor is
great error.-Rev. Z. A. Hall.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.

THE ADVANTAGE OF A BLEACHING GROUND,
Bleaching powders, chloride of linn,
and chemicals are damaging things e
use on good fabrics. They will inevi,
tably decrease their wearing qualities,
and unless used with tho utmost care
are likely to make holes in the goods.
For all-round bleaching, a grass plot
is the best of oil places. To spread
the linen out on the green turf and
keep it we'll sprinkled with soapsuds
for a few days is to insure bleach as
perfect as one could ask. Failing OF
this, great deal can be done ON the
roof of porch or on tho lines in the
yard. Many housekeepers do not

hung out of suds dripping, and al.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Give the fowls little meat, or cut
green bone, and don't forget to cut
some grass for them overy day.
Chopped onions is one of the best of
green foods.
Watch out among your young stock
for specially perfect specimens, and
give them special care, rs you may
want to exhibit stock this fall, and
these will then be right in line.
As soon as tho chicks arc Matched,
put them in n basket, and with tho
old hen, remove them to the coop you
havo prepared for them. Then i'm.
mediately take tho old nest and burn
it. This will romovo oil trouble from

ing last season, do not bo surprised to
find it rusty and badly weather worn,
for such shelter is apt to "preserve"
machinery that way. You may have
to buy new machine.
Rolled oats, or cracked wheat is the
best feed for little chicks. 1t requires
no preparation, and they will do nicely
on it. 1t is cleaner than mush, and
soft feed, as it does not get mixed up
with the dirt OF tho coop, hence there
is less danger of disease.
1t is not too oarly to be studying
the litters of pigs to determine which
of the females are the very best. OF
course, tho sensible breeder will re.
serve these or some of them for his
own uso as the breeding stock for n
part of next years crop.
When your chicks have Matched and
you put the old hen in a coop, be sure
and have no bottom in it. Let her be
on the ground. A close box, with q
board bottom, such as 10 sometimes
used, is bad in summer, as it gets so
hot the hen suffers greatly, and not
infrequently dies.

proverbial stitch, save nine, but it Ger.

PUMPKINS FOR COWS.

Ono of the most valuable crops for
feeding COWS is that of pumpkins. But
the best product OF ihis, as OF all
others. is whom it is made the single
effort, and not us a side show in corn
field. When grown alone and well
cultivated, it is easy to get as much
as thirty or forty tons on an aero of
good land. Tho growing them is not
any matter of dispute, but the feed.
ing OF them is. 1t is a common belief
that they cause the milk of COWS to
shrink; at loast, this is said of the
seeds. But experience gives no cause
for this belief On the contrary, the
milk is not only increased in quantity,
but the quality of it is improved.
The color OF the butter made is also
considerably higher than from the dry
food used at this season, when q stock
of pumpkins is found most useful.
One good-sized pumpkin chopped into
slices, given to each COW twice day,
will be found valuable addition TO
the best feeding. And ne trouble
need he borrowed in regard to any i'll
results from the cows eating the seeds.
The seeds and stringy matter attached
to them are the most nutritious part

Grcnlest Of All diamonds.

When diamond is found weighing
more than hundred carats, the news
is usually heralded with much ado, It
is not to be wondered at, therefore, il
the finding Of tho Excelsior" created
considerable excitement. 1t weighed
in the rough 97l carats, and was found
near Jagersfountain, in the Orange
Free State, Africa. When examined
1t was found TO be white stone of the
first water, but had n small flaw in the
centre. The inspector of the mine, a
Swede name Jorgensen, was the lucdy
finder. The proprietors of the mine,
Breitmayer and Bernheimer, had the
stone tested aud valued by experts,
who agreed that the value was So, 000,-
600. IL is fact that two offers of
1000, 600 and S4, $50, 900, respective
ly, have been refused by the propri.
etors. Upon its transfer to the coast
great precautions were taken for its
protection. A squadron of cavalry es-
corted it to the railway station. In
Capetown it was placed aboard the
British gunboat, H. NJ. S. Antelope,
which brought the precious gem to
London, where it now rests in the fire
and burglsr-proof vaults of the Bank
of England.
Tho next largest diamond in the
world is the one owned by the Raiab
of MstRn, on the Island of Borneo;
this one weighs 367 carats. The hand.
soonest of all the large diamonds
known is, however, the one in the
French collection of crown Jewels,
known as the "Regent," which weighs
1861 carats. Louis XIV. paid GOO, ,00O
francs for it, but now it is valued at
100000.
How much the Excelsior" will lose
in cutting can only be decided by most
eminent experts. AS rule, the larger
diamonds lose fully one-half of their
weight in this operation. Naturally
the cutting, which is done with view
to having as few large pieces as posi-.
bic outside of the main gem, must be
carried on with the greatest care. This
business Is carried on mainly in Am.
sterdam and Antwerp. In Amsterdam
there are at present five large concerns
of diamond cutters, with S72 diamond
mills or cutting wheels, and 300C
hands, besides large number of les,
important concerns. - Philadelphia

RUST IN OATS.

The red dustiness on the oats is due
to the rust, which is a fungus grow
ing in patches on the leaves of this
plant, and, feeding on the sap of It,
causes it to fade and wither. If the
red spots are examined by a magnify
ing glass they will appear as hollow
cups or red egg-shaped bodies, which
are the spores OF the fungus, the
roots of which penetrate oil through
the substance of the leaves of the
oats. The probability is that by and
by, when the oats are in head, they
will bo affected by smut, which is
thought TO be a secondary form of
the rust. This appears as black dust,
filling the grains, in place of the usual
starchy matter. The remedy for both
forms of the disease is, before sowing
it, to steep the seed in solution of
sulphate of copper (bluestone), four
ounc Is in a gallon of water. This de-
stroys the germs of the fungus that
are adhering to the seeds, New York

Highest Of AM in Leavening Power-Latest U. S.
Proper Hair Cutting.

The intelligent barber, says tho
Chicago Inter Ocean, looked pityingly
at u young man who had just gotten
shave in the next chair, and was
taking his departure through the
door.
'Look at that gentleman's head, ="
he remarked with indignant emphasis.
every bump in the back and every
scar he ever got there in his boyhood
is as plain as the nose on your face.
Tho trouble is that he had his hair
cut by some barber who doesn't know
his business.
There are dead loads of BARRIERS, "
continued the speaker, whacking his
razor on the strop, "who sing,
Johnny, git your hair cut short, and
don't know anything else in their
trade. They cut away at a mans hair
as long as the comb'll take hold, and
don't stop till there isn't any more
hair TO cut. A barber should never
cut a customers hair short unless he 8
ordered to do so. Hair should never
be cut so as to disiiguIe a person. A
barber should be something of an
artist. He should feel a customers
head and find out if it has any pro.
nouneed bumps, and the hair should
be raised to see if any scars are con-
cealed. If either of these blemishes
exist the hair should be cut so as to
hide them as far as possible. The
razor should never be used, except
sparingly, on the neck. The hair
should be graduated gently from the
crown and shaded on the neck with
care and patience. 1t makes me tired
TO see the work OF some so-called
BARRIERS. Next"
