A Cautious Jurist.

In an action for the value of hounds
killed by a train the opinion OF the court
saws: 1.-THE plaintiffs version is that
the train was going west, toward Chat-
tanooea, and the dogs were gong east,
toward Knoxville. They were all on the
same track and going in opposite dlrec-
tions. and under these facts head END
collision was unavoidable. And again /:
at is insisted by the plaintiff that
while the whistle was sounded 1t was
intended for the whole pack and not for
the three dogs that were run over. ms,
however, seems to be mere opinion or
the witness, as he was quarter OF a
mile away from the place when the
whistle was sounded. In addition 1t
would, we think. be requiring too great
diligence for the engineer to whistle Tor
each particular dog, and more especial
" as he had no means Of informing
each dog that any special whistle was
sounded for him. Upon these facts 1t
appears that the receivers were running
their train upon their own track, on
regular schedule time, and had no other
track at that place upon Whlch they
could run. On the other hand, the plain
tiff's dogs were running on the rail-
roads track instead of the fox's track,
which simply crossed the railroad. On
These facts it is held that "the dogs
were guilty of the grossest contributory
negligence and were only entitled to
such consideration as trespassers have
under the law. Case and Comment.
Mix large tablespoonful Of mustard
with half pint of cornmeal, pour on
this hot (not boiling) water and stir on
a good fire until it is thick. A little mo-
lasses added to this detracts from the
danger of the poultice sticking. When
the mixture is cooked thick enough,
spread between two pieces of thin mus
lin, and lay smoothly upon the aching
spot. The amount given above will
make two or three ordinary poultices.

Not Worthy q Wife.

The missing bridegroom is getting
numerous. The latest ones absence
from the wedding ceremony is said to
have been due to his excessive bashful-
ness. A man who is too modest to attend
his own wedding doesn' t deserve a wife,
and he isn't likely to get one. -Boston

FAIR AND FRUITFUL

AS the West is, 1t is often malariOus. But 1t is
pleasant to know that a competent safeguard
in the shape of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
exists. which absolutely nullifies the poison of
miasma. Western bound emigrants should bear
this in mind, Nor should it be forgotten, the
Bitters is sterling remedy for dyspepsia, bill
iousness, constipation kidney and nervous
complaints and rheumatism.

The Wind Engine.

There seems to be no question as to
the practical utility of the new though
crude wind engine which is now
coming into use in some parts of the
west. According to the description. it
resembles the paddle wheel Of stern
wheel boat, with shaft 10 to ID feet
long, IL to Is feet across, with six or
eight arms. The lower half of the wheel
is shielded from the wind, so that the
air acts only upon the upper vanes. A
crank upon one end Of the shaft con-
meets with the pump. Power can be in
definitely increased at any time by sim
ply increasing the length. The wind
acts upon this sort of paddle wheel from
all points Of the compass except two,
and it seems to require no governor,
but simply pumps more during storm.
No tower is provided for, and it is
placed so that the radiaI arms will be
clear of the ground. One Of these wheels
now running in Kansas is stated to be
81 feet in diameter, ~ feet long, and
has eight fans. The largest water wheel
in the world is said to be an overshot
wheel in the isle Of Man. 1t is 721a
feet in diameter, 6 feet in breadth. with
a crank stroke Of 10 feet, and gives 200
horsepower. New York Sun.

than a year ago Is shown by exhaustive canvass
just made by THE American Agricuurist." covering
every section OF the country where onions are COM

commercial crop OF 1896 at 100000 bushels near.y
q per cent smaller than year ago and l00O0O0
bushels. third smaller than the bumper crop Of
1891 As In former years the commercial production
is confined almost exclusively 10 New-Engand New

prices last year discouraged many from putting in
the usual acreage and Il is about u per less
than that OF last year. the shortage is pronounced
in New England hut final returns show that in spite
of low prices many farmers In New-York State have
harvested about the usual acreage.
