AMERICAN CHILD AND PARENT.
FffiaI Piets Almost Unknown in This
 Country.

FffiaI Piety Almost Unknown in This
 Country.
 It was a pretty little letter that Li Hung Chang wrote to little Brooklyn girl a few weeks ago in which he com mended especially to her the religion of his country-reverence and respect for her parents-virtues which in this country are sadly neglected. The Amer ican child judges his parent with youth ful severity, not unmiXed with preju- dice, inasmuch as he is directly affect ed by his fathers or mothers short comings. To feel respect simply be- cause certain individual stands to him in loco parentis never enters his mind. If his parent is worthy to be loved, according to the child's stand ards, he loves him; if not, he dislikes him, and calmly discusses his faults as if he were a stranger. What is known as filial piety is almost unknown in America. A certain sense of duty is undoubtedly felt. An old and indigent parent would be cheerfully supported. For, without having any particular rev erence, Americans are kind to old peo.  and weaknesses of a grandparent, be- ing only severe in their criticisms of their immediate progenitors.
 The chief trouble in this country is that there is no regular standard com mon to every household that all young people should conform to as matter of course. Some families are strict, oth CTS are lax, but in one and all children rank with their elders. Family rule is kydra-headed in America" says one ot our many foreign critics with much req son, but how they do love to crlticise us! No other country is so constantly dissected and pulled to pieces. "Chil- dren, wives and servants, all but the le- gitimate head of the house, with an equal voice in the management, and each with veto over his personal wills and wants"
 Tt must not be supposed. this writer says in another part of his book, from the social and domestic prominence of the women and children that American men are supine lot; they are subofdi- nate to their families, but are not to be pulled by other men. 1t is simply the habit of the country, as an Indian warrior of uudou5ted bravery, whose tepee is hung with scalps, may De beaten by his favorite squaw without loss of dignity
 But continues our latest critic, who find our institutions atrocious. our society crude and vulgar, yet whc evidently has kindly feelings for Amer ican men and women despite their shortcomings plus terrible of all, the enfant terrible, is the American en- fant''--in him he finds nothing to praise!-N Y.

BORING FOR STEAM.
Hope to Find It Two Miles Below the
 Enrth's Surface.

Hone to Find It Two Miles Below the
 Enrth's Surface.
 The deepest well ;n the world will soon be completed near Pittsburgh, Pa It is now more than one mile deep, and when it is finished it may reach two miles into the earth. It is being bored iH the interest of science. The ob1eet ID penetrating so deeply is to determine just what the interior of the human footstool is like. From a commercial point of view the well was a success iong ago. \ comparatively few feet below the surface both gas and oil were struck in paying quantities, but the company owning the plant determined to dedicate it to science, and invited Prof. William Hallock, of Columbia col lege, to carry on a series of temperature investigations as the hole is carried deeper and deeper into the earth. The result of these investigations is very interesting, and it is the opinion of sew eral well-known scientists that the ul- innate result of the boring will prove to be of widespread economic as well as of scientific value. Most significant of all the facts so far ascertained is that the well grows steadily hotter as it's depth increases.
 1t is the intention of the company to continue the boring process until some thing entirely new and original is de- veloped This may seem crude way of putting the statement, but it has long been a theory among well men that if it is possible to go deep enough some rev geologic condition or economic fea- ture would be found to exist. At the very lead they claim natural steam would be encountered, or the we'll walls would finally become so hot that water could be pumped down cold andpumped up in the form of steam, and thus The natural power of the future be obtained. At any rate there is material for much speculation, and the interest becomes greater in increased ratio as the drill descends and a startling event is tx pected to happen almost any day. One remarkable feature of the we'll is that the gas found near the surface is now used to operate the powerful engines which do the drilling. Thus the natural power already issuing from the well is utilized for the purpose of deepening it.-Washington Star.

STOCK AND DAIRY HINTS.

Pasture and pure water are oft neg ected essentials to successful summer swine raising.
 Ire demanded in the live stock and dairy | industries.
 Esipened cream should be thick and smooth when put into the ehurn-not !umpy, neither sloppy.
 Ticks and scab are overcome by dip ping the sheep and lambs. This should be done at shearing time. The change from dry feed to pasture should be gradual, thus making lap splice" between grain and grass. Continue to feed a little of that IS cents oats and corn. It doesn't pay D cut the grain ration off entirely the day the animals are turned out to grass.
 Entirely too little attention is given to the shape and fitting qualities of the horse collars, particularly as to the width thereof. The collars should fit the sides of the neck closely, without pinching.
 United States butter cows produce an estimated annual average of 130 pounds of butter per COW. This is not much more than half the yield that should be produced, and what are we going to do about it?
 Many successful swine growers we know rake up the corn cobs, burn them, and when in the form of bright, live coals, throw water on a portion of the pile. thus making charcoal and ashes for the hogs to eat. A little salt may be added.
 Sheep surpass all other domestic ani- mals in bringing up and cleaning up weedy, brushy, poyerty-striclSen lands. If you have a patch of this kind, turn them in and let them ssubdue and re- plenish the earth" in that particular spot, at least. Agricultural Epitomist.

Atlanta, Ca, December 17.-Bud
Brooks and Grady Reynolds, who, to-

of Bolton, Ga, were taken from the
county Jail at Jefferson to-day and pri-
vately hanged on hill few yards
distant. Both made statements from
the gallows. The drop fell at 12:17.
Both men died on the same gallows.
The execution was remarkable In
many respects. After the ride to the
gallows, a distance Of half mile, the
murderers were robed in white and
permitted to speak to the throng Of
1000 people who packed around the
gallows. On the scaffold the two men
held brief conversation, each in
quiring after the others spiritual con-
dition. Among the twenty men who
saw the execution were the three broth
ers Of the murdered man.
