for witchcraft, and on the following
morning she was arraigned before
Justices Hawthorne and Corwin. She
was indicted for having practiced
certain detestable acts called witch
craft upon Mary Walcott and other
women" She was tried in the meet
ing house. One of the witnesses, Ann
Putnam, had fit In court, which she
charged upon the accused.
In answer to the charge of witch
craft Rebecca Nourse said: IL can
say before my Eternal Father | am
innocent and God will clear my inno-
cency" Justice Hawthorne replied.
Here Is never a one in the assembly
but desires it, but if you be guilty
pray God discover you"
She was then committed to the tail
in Salem, and on April IL was taken
with four others to Boston by order
of the council. The court met June
%. and the jury first returned a YER
dict of not guilty, but the crowd in
the courtroom made such a clamor
that the jurors again retired, and
shortly after returned a verdict of
guilty.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Sheep are enemies to the Texas
fever tick.
Bran and skim milk are hard to
beat for making pigs grow.
1t is most unwise to neglect young
stock during bad weather.
Do not hope for a SOW to raise well
more pigs than she has milkgivflg
teats.
Sheep do not like a dark. warm
barn and will not eat we'll or thrive
in such a place.
For the development of strong
lambs let ewes have an abundance of
exercise daily.
Making pea hay on the farm will
aid the soil and help make sheep
raising a success.
Sheep do not need warm quarters,
but should have plenty of light AID a
lack of moisture.
Supply all live stock with an abund-
ance of shade. Be especially careful
of this when hogs are concerned.
For pigs, as for other young stock,
sufficient exercise TO produce good di-
gestiOn VIII favor rapid development.
Wood ashes with little salt in
them will be helpful to hogs and may
be placed where hogs can help them
selves.
Live stock is more cheaply produc
ed in the proportion that il is grown
en- grass. Aim to use grain only for
finishing off.
In feeding pigs have the troughs
large enough TO let all get to the
feed at the same time. This Will
prevent the weaker ones being showed
aside and deprived of food.
Those who desire to get into stock
raising and have little money to
work with may we'll start with hogs,
since they will produce returns more
quickly than other kinds of stock.
Prevent the sows from eating their
pigs by beginning two or three
months before the pigs are born; and
have the sows in a perfectly healthy
condition when the pigs come. Aim
at prevention, rather than cure.

A True Story.

I want to tell you of something |
saw take place on crowded Boston
street the other day. A dirty-faced,
ragged little lad was poking about in
the ash barrels for spoils. He had
a tiny dog with him, quite as un-
kempt and uncared for as himself.
but around that dogs neck was tied
a bow CT faded ribbon, and his in
cessant 'yambols and pranks found
favor in the sight of his beggar-boy
master. 1t was plain to see that the
boy loved the dog, and between the
two there was the complete under
standing of mutual affection. Sud
denly, while the dog was bounding
and barking in the eXuberance of ca
nine joy and his masters eyes were
sparkling with relish of this one
thing in life that was his very own,
there came rapidly driven team
down the crowded street. A moment
later l saw a ragged boy, with set
face and arguished eye, gather in his
arms a manned and dying dog and
gently walk away. What had hap
pened? Only a worthless street cur
trampled to death, only miserable
little ragpicker robbed of the sole bit
of Joy and comfort his life ever knew,
the one friend that loved him, that
was all. But there was look in the
boys face that will keep my heart
aching for many a day to come, and
the flurtering bit of fancy ribbon
about the dead dogs neck brought a
mist to my eyes that hid the splendor
of the bright spring morning.-Our
Fourfooted Friends.

Bird Carpenters.

Downy woodpeckers are carpenters
by trade; so they will not content
themselves with a deserted nest; they
build a snug little home of their own.
They generally select a fruit tree OF
some sort, and they seem to like cher
~ trees as well as any.
The downy woodpecker begins the
work by cutting round hole in the
body of the tree with his strong bill;
and when his good little mate sees
that he is getting tired, she turns in
and helps him. They build roomy
nest. sometimes a foot or more In
depth. and leave the door Of the house
inst wide enough for each Of them to
pass in. Like all carpenters, they
make good many chips; and these
they carry away, and then scatter
them quite a distance from the tree,
so that no one will find out where
their nest is. The bottom of the hole
is made very smooth, and upon this six
pure white eggs are laid. This curious
house is very neat and comfortable.

ABOUT FEEDING STUFFS.

A certain part of every feeding stuff
is indigestible and passes through
the body into the dung without do
ing anything to sustain the animal,
according to the Connecticut expert
ment station. The value of a COM
mercial feed rests wholly in that por-
ton of it which TIE animal can, under
favorable conditions, digest or apDro-
pirate and make part OF ITSELF
Some animals have greater power of
digestion than others, and the amount
of any ingredient. protein, fat or
Ponds much on the proportion of 9TH
er ingredients which are fed along
with it. Thus, if starchy matter is
fed in too large proportion, con-
siderable part Of it will pass into
the dung and be wasted But fed In
proper fashion over 80 per cent. of it
may be taken up by the body and

A well-managed dairy farm should

for the stock. and, excepting under
unusual conditions, should also sup
ply an abundance of starchy food, such
as corn meal and in some cases oats
and barley, for feeding purposes.
These the farmer should be able to
proiuce in abundance.

what raw material the mixture is be-

FIXED HABITS.


NNSN~'S7~N~~~~~~~~%0~N
The poet Whittier was never ma
ried. For many years he enjoyed Il
charming home under the able domeS-
tic management of his gifted sister
Elizabeth, whom, however, he long
survived; but he acquired toward mid
die life and always retained some of
the small, set ways usual in confirmed
old bachelors. That he remained I'M
married from necessity no one be-
lieved-he was far too delightful a
man; and his friends occasionally
yentured remonstrance.
Il. +. Huntington. an old friend Of
Mr.. Whittier has recently related how
another old friend, Mrs. Ruth Challis.
once sent to the poet the present of q
jar of freshly made butter from her
farm at Pond Hills. He thanked her
in gay verse. the last lines of which
ran thus:
Thrice welcome to him who, unblest with
wife,
Sits and bungles alone at the ripped
seams of life
Is the womanly kindness which pities his
fate
And sews on his buttons or fills UP his
plate.
Naturally, Mrs. Challis was much
pleased with the poem: nevertheless.
the next time she met its author she
said to him with spirit:
Il don't want thee to think 1t was
from pityI gave thee thy butter. Those
pity are the ones who can't help
themselves, not the ones who can and
do not"
Would thee really advise me to
marry, Ruth?" was the laughing re-
ply. "Ah, my friends should have
taken me in hand years ago."
But ON another occasion. when he
himself asked Il young girl friend if
she did not think he might, had he
married. have made a pretty good
husband" he received a reply which
recognized the fixed dominion of his
bachelor independence. If he had once
made up his mind to catch particular
train for Amesbury, she told him, he
would have taken II, convenient or in
convenient, accompanied or unaccom-
panied, wife or no wife.
Il guess thee is about right, Mary.
assented the bachelor poet, with con-
tented laugh.

THE FIRE ENGINE DRIVER.
There May be Better Drivers on
Earth, but If There Are, Where

Is there d better driver in the world
than the man who drives the fire en-
sine? If there is, he is yet to be, dis
covered
Here was an engine coming along
a cross street, to turn up an inter-
secting avenue. Under the edge of
the rounded off corner that the ma
chine was TO turn, there was a sewer
opening, with the street pavement
sloping down smoothly toward it
81 around from the high level of the
street.
If the driver, coming as he was,
at dead gallop. should make a broad
turn around this corner out where
the street was level, the engine
would swing more or less, nothing
could prevent that, and check the
horses speed, and there would be
second or two lost before they could
get the load Strengthened again and
get under full Roadway with it once
more, up the avenue But if the driv-
er could make that corner with the
two wheels on the inner side of the
curve down in that slOping depres-
sion leading to the sewer opening
close by the curb, and the two out
side wheels on the higher level hear
er the middle of the street, why. the
higher level here would be for the
engine what the banked up outer rail
is for the locomotive rounding
curve, and making it so he wouldn't
lose an inch. And that's the way
lie did make it,
And before he knew it man who
had been standing at the edge of this
corner waiting to see the engine go by
saw il SO near TO him and leaning in
so close to him that he could have
touched it, while the driver, aloft on
his high seat and roaming inward as
he was, too, was actually leaning
over him as the engine passed. with
whistle screaming, and steam hiss
ing. and that driver, as he flung EN-
in This fashion round this curve. talk
ing low to his horses and calling on
'em each by name-a man absorbed
if there ever was one.
Thinking of nothing else in the
world that driver at this minute,
but getting to the fire. The allied
Powers might threaten Turkey, Rus
sia might burst at any moment into
revolution, it might not yet be settled
whether 1t should be the Straits OF
Panama or a lock canal-all such
questions had 10 interest for him
rOw, nor was he interested in any
thing else: what absorbed him now
to the exclusion of all else ON earth,
was the hiking Of the Old machine
from fire house to box 4-11-44 in the
shortest possible time, and hadn't he
just saved two seconds by the fine
work he had done in rounding this
corner? And when-it seemed but an
instant later that you heard it-you
heard the scream of the engine, now
far up the avenue, you knew he was
getting there. 1t was great.
There may be somewhere in the
world better drivers than the driver
Of the steam fire engine; but, if there
are such, New Workers don't know
where they can be found.-New York

Turbine Steamships.

The use Of steam turbines has been
common for some time in stationary
plants and in small vessels.
Instead of the piston-and-valve ar
rangement which is the foundation
principle of the old-style steam en-
gines the turbine takes the steam
directly from the boiler into cylin-
der filled with Hanged wings, and
the expansive force of the steam acts
against these flanges on much the
same principle as turbine water
wheel. There is no alternating or
reciprocal motion, but a constant rev
olution at even pressure which can
be transmitted directly to the revolv-
ing screw
The turbine principle saves fuel,
but its greater advantages are in its
simplicity of operation. the reduction
of the machine parts required, the
direct transmission of power and the
freedom from vibration.
The transmission of power from
fuel to effective energy is still in its
infancy. No commercial device has
yet succeeded In utilizing even half
the theoretic power Of coal.-lesH
