Ion and philosophy in each of the diff.
ferent tongues.
Previous to Miss Colton's new rec
ord the most accomplished linquist
known claimed knowledge of only
SO languages.
Miss Colton's list, moreover, in
cludes long roll of different tongues,
which are numbered among the most
difficult in the world to learn and
which include Chinese, Pail, Avestan.
Sanscrit, Hebrew, Syrian, Assyrian,
Arabic and Persian.
While this now famous American
woman was following the occupation
Of a vocal teacher at the Pennington
Comm Seminary for Girls, a number
of years ago she first became inter-
ested in the Oriental languages
through having been brought in con-
tact with several pupils from the far
east. Her intense interest became
passion, and in the interval since then
she has devoted nearly all her time to
the mastering of the different
tongues. Many years ago she became
| u nutUl user VI tuc
such as Italian, Spanish and French.
The greatest tribute to her wonder
full memory lies in the fact that the
roots of the different numerous east
ern languages which she has learned
are all entirely different from those
of the western tongues. In the pres
ent-day colleges throughout the world
separate courses are held in such Ian
guages as Hebrew, Sanscrit and Per
sian, and to obtain working knowl-
edge of any single one is considered
difficult task.
When Miss Cotton first took up the
study of the eastern langues she was
located not far from Yale college, and
it was there that she acquired her ele-
mentary training in these different
tongues. Within short time the
young woman had come to be looked
upon as prodigy among the most
learned Yale professors.
Miss Cotton and Prof. Spooner have
been on the borderland of Afghanis-
tan, among the mountains, where the
first articulate speech is supposed to
have originated.

SUMMER RATIoNS FOR HENS.

For fifty hens | give one quart of
wheat in the morning scattered in the
litter. At II o'clock they get one quart
of wheat, barley or oats. The last feed
at night is two quarts cracked corn.
Fresh water is given three times day
during the winter. Charcoal, grit oys-
ter shell and dry cracked bone are
within reach at all times. A half peck
of green stuff, such as turnips, cab
bage. or beets, is given every day or
two. In a trough with Slated front
they have free access to a mixture OF
dry ground grains. This mixture IS
composed of 200 pounds wheat bran
and 10C pounds each of corn meal,
middlings, gluten meal and beef scrap
thoroughly mixed together. Our fowls
are harder and we do not lose as
many as when we feed meal ration
as wet mash. They mott quicker and
the pullets come to laying sooner

Co-Operator:
We judge tree by its fruits. This
is scriptural and therefore it is the
very essence OF truth and good sense.
II man points out to you peach or
an apple tree in your orchard and
tells you the tree is worthless; that
it will not bear good fruit nor much
CT yield, but if year by year that
tree goes on budding and blooming in
season and at the right time bringing
forth rich, luscious peaches or mellow
delicious apples, as the case may be.
you will wisely judge the tree by its
fruits and not by what this man has
told you, or listen TO similar tales
from other people. In other words,
be just to the tree and judge 1t by
what it shows for itself, not by what
people say.

JNO. CRACKER VS.. JNO. CRAKORE
A Little Story With a Moral for Every
Union Man.

John Cracker and his wife lived in
a one-story. implanted house, standing
in the middle of a cotton field. Not a
tree surrounded the house, not bit
OF green grass. His mules lived in a
log howell. through which the winter
winds howled, and they ate cottonseed
hulls for lack Of hay, and whatever
corn could be spared. John had some
scrub cattle out in the cane brakes all
winter, but not a COW to give them
milk; and all winter and most Of the
rest OF the year the only vegetables
that appeared on their table were col
lards. field peas and sweet potatoes,
and their only bread was corn-dodgers
with fat Western bacon for grease.
John plowed III his land every year
for cotton. except little piece Of bot
tom land that went in corn every year,
