And the wild dove, far iu the flr-wood,

WHY LETTICE SYMPATHIZED WITH
Mil. BKEMEll.
Lettice had boon sick all through the
sprinir ami early summer, hut when the
weather became hot and dry the coujrh
and pain 111 her side left her, faint streaks
of color he ran to tkili up into her thin
cheeks, and she grew able to take a ride
with her father every morning, and dur
ing each ride she found many common
place incidents to weave into thrilling
stories for her little brother Fred.
One morning, as they were driving
slowly along a beautiful lane, Lettice was
much amused by counting a number of
cattle crossing a brook on a narrow plank.
"There.' Twenty-one!'' she cried,clap
ping her hands. What a clumsy old
fellow that last one was. I surely thought
he'd tumble into the water. 1 hope tluy
will all do it over again when we come
back. I must tell Fred all about it."
That reminds me of poor little Fred
rika Bremer," replied her father, delight
ed to see his "languid lady" display so
much interest. One day she and her sis
ters were watching some bullocks that had
been let out to drink at a pond. When
they came to a certain place where the
gates had been taken down they all ap
peared seized with a dancing tit" and be
gan to jump and prance, kicking their
hind legs in the air. The children were
amazed at such conduct in the quiet, crea
tures, and when their father came home
that evening Charlotte went into the li
brary aud told him of the wonderful be
havior of the bullocks, lie was amused
and interested, and wondered very much
what could have influenced them. Pr-s
ently in came another child and told the
same story. The father listened but said
nothing. Then a third came in, repeating
what the others had said. The father
paid no attention. And, last of all, poor
little repressed, irrepressible Fredrika
made her appearance, saying, Do you
know, papa, that the bullocks—' llut
she was interrupted with, 'This is the
fourth time 1 have heard that story. Now
there must be an end of it."
How cross and unkind he was!" ex
claimed Lettice. "He might have
listened to just one more. I have no
patiencc with him!"
"But it was something of a bore for
him. you see." said JMr. Houghton.
Why," suddenly turning his attention to
the horse, Ned has almost lost that fore
shoe. We must drive slowly. I will
watch the shoe while yoH keep a sharp
lookout for a blacksmith's shop. 1 think
there is one near."
Lettice sat erect, her bright eyes search
ing for she scarcely knew "what, until her
father said: There it is," as they
turned a corner close upon a small uri
painted building surrounded by broken
wagons. Through a smoky doorway they
paw a man bending over a forge, draw in
a long red iron from the lire but he threw
the iron on the anvil and came to the door
at the sound of 3Ir. Houghton's voice.
Loose shoe, eh?" he inquired, running
his fingers through his curly gray hair.
Do it for you iii live minutes will that
suit you. eh? Better take the horse out,
eh? Your little gal looks beat out
better go in the house and stay with my
women folks, eh? Powerful hot place
this shop is to set in, eh?"
It will only be for a few minutes,"
assured her father, helping her clown.
Perhaps you will find something to
amuse you."
Lettice slowly crossed the dusty road,
and knocked at the door of the little red
house opposite the shop.
May I please stay here until our horse
is shot. she asked", as a tiny old lady
appeared.
"Yes, come in," answered the old
lady, in a strikingly gentle tone. How
thin you are! Have you been sick? Just
set in this rocking chair and put your feet
on this little bench, and I'll get you a
glass of our spring water. No sueli
water as ours to be found for miles
around."
Lettice leaned wearily back among the
faded green cushions of the chair, while
the old lady stretched up to the highest
shelf of a closet for a glass, and left the
room, moving so noiselessly that the child
was almost startled.
The room was so small and bare that
Lettice had made a study of everything it
contained before the old lady returned
with the glass of water and followed by a
little brown dog.
What a cunning little dog it is," she
said, after she had drank the water, and
the dog came whining and jumping
around her chair.
"Yes," assented the old lady, seating
herself, and commencing to darn a pair
of coarse socks. "And what do you think
lie did last night? It was the queerest
thing, for we never let him go up-stairs
but Jimmy had something like a tetch of
cholery, and he was took all of a suddent
in the evening, though what he had been
eating to hurt him no one knows. For
his breakfast he only eat. cakes—we was
out of buckwheat, so we made them of rye
and Indian we raise them over night—
two quarts
But what did the little
brown dog do?"
inquired Lettice.
"Well, you see Jimmy 'most had the
cholery, aud we was at our wits' end. We
put him in hot water, and we put mus
tard on him, and gave him ginger and par
egoric, and the doctor lives u long way off,
and there was no one to send, for John
had the astlimy, and father
So you sent the dog for the doctor?"
asked Lettice.
"No oh, no, we should not think of
such a tiling," returned the gentle old
voice. Well, you see, after we put him
in the hot water we wanted to wrap him
up warm, and so Amandy went up to the
garret chamber for a quilt—we have a
nice parcel of quilts, for I've piecened
fifty-three in my day—let me see, the first
one I piecened was when
"Did the dog bring down the quilt?"
again interrupted Lettice.
"O h, no," replied the old lady, softly,
shaking her head, "but he followed
Amandy up-stairs, and she never thought
of him when she came out of the room,
and we was all so frightened we never
missed him, and thought nothing of it till
Jimmy was better this morning and
Amandy went to put the quilt away, and

then 'Mandv saw Flido waggin' his tail.
Yes, Flido Is a tunning dog an' a wise dog
an' a funny dog."
"Oh!" shivered Lettice, glancing out
of the window to see if the horse were
nearly ready.
Here I am, home at last, almost swel
tered!" shouted a large, round voice, and
the door was violently opened to admit a
stout young woman who immediately
seated herself on two chairs and began
fanning herself with her apron.
"It's Amandy,'' whispered the gentle
old lady, just as if she Were unlocking a
cabinet of rare jewels.
So you are waiting for your horse?"
questioned Amanda. "And how fond
Fido is of you! I shall be jealous soon.
You never in your life saw anything as
cunning as he is. Jimmy was taken sick
last night and what were we to do, so far
from the doctor and ucver having any one
sick like that before, we didn't Know, and
you never in your life saw such a dis
tressed household. But I had heard tell
of putting folks in hot water, so I ran up
stairs for "a quilt (but I shouldn't have be
lieved the dog followed ine if I had not
seen him there this morning), and so I ran
down quick, aud when I went to put the
quilt away this morning you never inyour
life, ever, saw a dog so happy as he was,
standing there wagging his tail when I
opened the door.""
As she ended her story Amanda nodded
toward Lettice, who could oaly reply with
a faint, half-indignant Oh!"
"Soyou are home, 'Man'," screamed a
shrill voice from the kitchen, and a mo
ment after a slight, red-cheeked girl ap
peared in the doorway. "Who've you
got here she asked, her bold brown eyes
traveling over Lett ice's attire inch by inch.
So she is waiting for the horse, all
dressed up so gay but she likes Fido."
The girl seated herself on the floor and
began to play with the dog.
Where do you suppose he stayed last
night? the duck, the diamond—" she
began, to Lettice's consternation. "That
little wretch Jimmy had to go and eat cu
cumbers till he got us all in a precious
fright, and while 'Man' rail up-stairs fora
quilt he just picked after her and we nev
er knew a breath about it till 'Man' went
up this morning to put away the quilt,
and there he stoixl wagging his tail. Now
wasn't tkat a cunning trick
I don't know," replied Lettice angri
ly, ready to shriek with nervousness.
Just then a small boy appeared in the
kitchen doorway eating a large cucum
ber. "Come here, good dog, poor fel
low he called. Say, Sis, lie's the fun
niest dog you ever saw". Last night I was

But Lettice sprang from the chair in ter
ror and rushed from the house with her
fingers in her ears.
The horse was reliarnessed and her fa

carriage.
"The time did not seem long to you?"
he asked, as they turned the corner which
hid house and shop from their view.
But how pale you are! Are you faint

came faintly from the child's white lips.
"What do you mean?" asked lier fa

I feel letter," sighed Lettice, the col
or rushing violently into her face as she
snifl'ed the hartshorn.
And before the ride was over she had so
tar recovered as to tell the whole story to
her father, which made him laugh" so
heartily that the tears ran down his
cheeks.—Ella A. Drinkicater, in Christian

The Moral Character of tlic Oyster.
With the first day of September the
oyster comes again into favor and flavor,
and as he is to associate with the men and
women of this land upon terms of the
closest intimacy during the whole of the
next eight months, it is worth while per
haps to inquire respecting his condition
of life and his moral character.
As to his fortune, a punster has already
said of him that his case is most uncom
monly hard that it is his, peaceful as he
is, to perish in many a foreign broil and
it may be added that he is often in hot
water, and perpetually in a stew of one
kind or another.
In temper he is even mild to placidity,
although he is sometimes slightly ruffled,
on his edges at least. He is quiet always,
and usually very well-behaving and yet
he participates in nearly every scene "of
debauch and revelry. He frequents mid
night suppers, and is the companion—the
bosom companion we may say—of wild fel
lows of every degree. He makes no noise,
and does no quarreling, but he is pres
ent in well nigh every riotous company,
and is found at table with wines and
liquors of Overy kind, name and quality.
In himself, antl so far as bis personal
behavior is concerned, the oyster is per
fectly respectable, and gentlemen and
gentlewomen have him at dinner without
scruple but there can be no doubt that
his name is suggestive of dissoluteness
and dissipation, precisely as the horse,
noble as he is, is indissoluble associated
in our minds with certain forms of knav
ery and with jockeyism in all its branch
es," as the street signs say. Dickens, we
believe it was, who pointed out the fact
that the moment that any man falls into
the poverty which comes of drunkenness
and idleness he begins to eat oysters as a
regular diet, and notwithstanding the high
estimation in which the best of us hold
this mollusk, his name somehow suggests
irregularity of living, late hours, un
wholesome haunts and potations of gin.
Nevertheless he is a fine fellow, and we
cannot spare him from the list of friends
whom we are always glad to see at dinner.
There is a placidity in his bearing, a de
corum in his conduct which gives us con
fidence in him, and wherever he is met he
is sure of a hearty welcome.—N. Y.
Eceiling Post.
Genius and Morality.
The man who believes in debt, and cites
plenty of men of genius who run in debt,
is either silly enough to suppose himself a
genius or to mistake folly for genius.
Men who write wisely against running in
debt may also, like many other preachers,
fail utterly to practice their own preach
ing. Thus, Lord Bacon wrote on the wis
dom of business, and ran desperately in
debt. Men of genius are not always nin
nies in their expenditures, though we can
recall thousands who are, from Bacon to
Webster. Men of genius may also be
able, like Pitt and Webster, to have the
most correct idea of public finances,
and yet fail utterly in managing
their own affairs. Pitt received never
less than equal to $30,000 a year, some
times equal to $50,000, and died equal to
$200,000 in debt. Sheridan was another
spendthrift, ancl spent all of his first
wife's fortune in six weeks, and the for
tune of his second wife in a few months,
ox was a great gamester, and at one sit
ting of twenty hours lost equal to $55,000.
It is just this kind of genius which should
have no imitators, and which has proved
the misery of thousands of families and
the dishonor of all the men who indulge
in such personal extravagance and plun
der of other people's property.—Boston

Tne Probabilities of Sickness.
Dr. Reginald Southey has recently
been delivering a course of valuable
lectures on "Individual Hygiene" in
London, and in one he introduced a table
of Expectation of Sickness,' which he
had prepared, and which is as follows:
At twenty years of age, calculate on four
s i k a y s y e a y
At twenty to thirty, five or si* dajfc V
At forty-five, seven days.
At fifty, nine or ten days. '•fi"
At fifty-five, twelve or thirteen days.
At sixty, sixteen days.
At sixty-five, thirty-one days.
At seventy, seventy-four days.
Of course this refers to people of av
erage good health, and not to those who
may be afflicted witii aay iaera&wble or
ChfOftic ailment.

Is Rare Beef Dangerous 1
For several years past hygienists and
pathologists have been closely studying
the progressive invasion of the tceniodea
or tape worms in the human species, in
order to discover all the causes which
lead to the presence of these terrible par
asites and the means of preventing them.
While many vital points relating to the
subject are still in controversy, it has
been demonstrated that we are attacked
by the armed taenia (tenia solium) and by
the non-armed tienia (tenia medio cannel
lata or inermis), that the germs of these
two entozoa are introduced into the in
testinal canal through flesh food, and that
the germs oi the first usually come from
pork and those of the second from beef
and mutton. It has furthermore been
pointed out, by M. ltegnault, that, while
the number of attacks of the armed taenia
has not notably augmented, those of the
non-armed worm are becoming more and
more frequent.
The cause attributed to this increase is,
first, the therapeutic use of raw beef, and,
second, the habit of eating that meat, its
well as mutton (the latter, however, in a
less degree than the former), in a very
rare state. Both beef and mutton con
tain morbific germs, which might well
escape the scrutiny of a much more rigid
inspection of market food than obtains
here and these, lodged in some organ of
the body, speedily develop into the ma
ture worm. Cooking the meat through
thoroughly is a sure safegaard but on the
other hand, there are many who have no
relish for well done beef or mutton, and,
among the Germans especially, the meat
is prepared in various ways without being
cooked at all. We have frequently seen
raw beef-steak served and eaten with the
simple accompat iments of pepper, salt
and vinegar. Butchers in New York City
chop finely the good meat which is
trimmed from joints or bones, and sell it
in its hashed state, at a low price, to the
poorer classes, who likewise eat it raw,
and thus save the fuel required for cook
ing. As indicated above, physicians oft
en prescribe raw meat to the weak and de
bilitated, and it is no very uncommon
thing to see infants sucking tender pieces
of raw steak. Of course all this is dan
gerous, and the fact, we have reason to
believe, is not entirely unknown to those
who favor the practice but on the other
hand, there is a general idea that if meat
be cooked ever so little, merely warmed
through, all peril is obviated. That this
is a subtle error will be clear from a brief
consideration of the cooking process.
The rationale of broiling is the subjec
tion of a large surface of meat to a sudden
high temperature. Coagulation of the ex
terior albumen succeeds, and the juices
are prevented from escaping, so that they
are cooked with the fibrous part of the
meat, enclosed as it were between two
shells. Roasting, or rather baking, as it
is practiced in this country, is virtually
the same process, the hot oven being sub
stituted for the coals. Frying accom
plishes the same end by the action of
highly heated fat. Boiling is just the
reverse, as the heat in that case is applied
gradually, so that the albumen can be
coagulated uniformly through the mass.
Now albumen coagulates at 142 degrees
Fall., and further heat reduces it to a firm
transparent body, so that a piece of beef
which is left unbasted," that is, un
moistened, during the cooking process,
and its exterior temperatures not thus kept
down, or a steak allowed to cook slowly
over a slow instead of a brisk
lire, is likely
to become encased in a close crust, not
inaptly termed leathery," which tends
to prevent the further penetration of heat.
It will readily be perceived that thus, al
though the meat has been subjected to
cooking a proper length of time, and al
though its exterior may appear overdone,
a part of its interior may be practically
raw, and may never have reached the
temperature of 140 degrees, beyond which
it has been proved germ-life cannot exist.
Hence, in such portion of the meat thus
prepared, the germs are none the worse for
their warming, and enter the body in an
active state.
It does not follow, however, from this
that we are to interdict that most noble of
all dishes, the rare cut of sirloin, but it
does follow that we should exercise some
greater care in its preparation.. And in
this respect we have a very safe and
simple guide in the two temperatures
noted above, or rather in their close ap
proximation. Everybody knows the
diflerence in color and general appear
ance between meat nearly raw and meat
cooked, and is capable of observing the
glairy, flabby condition of the former as
compared with the firmness of the latter.
In one case the albumen has not coagu
lated, in the other it has. But in the
latter instance we know that a tempera
ture of 142 degrees has been attained, and
that is two degrees higher than the germ
death point hence we are thus rendered
certain that the danger is obviated, on
simple inspection of the condition of the
meat, which still is rare enough to satisfy
any healthy taste.
It is not difficult to perceive that th*
lavages of that other fearful parasite, of
the bog, the trichina spiralis, have been
the cause of greater care in the prepara
tion of pork and as the same thorough
cooking which destroys the trichina like,
wife destroys the taua germ, both erilf
are obviated at ontie. Hence we find an-,
other cause for the diminution in cases of
armed tienia noted by Regnault, while, the
pravalent neglect of precautions regarding
beef and mutton may likewise account for
the spread of the affliction attributable to
those meats.
It is a curious fact in this connection
that a prominent French medical journal
(the Abeille Medicate) strongly recommends
liorse flesh to be used raw therapeutically,
and asserts that it is much more nourish
ing than either beef, mutton, or pork.
AVe doubt whether this last assertion will
meet with general acquiescence but if it
appears, as our contemporary states, that
the horse is not subject to the parasitic af
fections common to the eattle now used as
food, there can be no question but that,
from a sanitary point of view, the food
value of our superannuated chargers is
greatly enhanced. At all events, for some
reason the consumption of horseflesh in
France is rapidly increasing, as recent
statistics show that nearly thirty per cent
more of the animals have been slaughter
ed, for the markets in Paris, during 1876
than were killed last year.—Scientific

A Horrible Story of Fanaticism and
Mnrder.
The subjoined are the sickening details
of one of the strangest and most extraor
dinary tragedies eVef enacted in the his
tory of the World. Befoi'e referring to
the murder, a few curious facts by way of
introduction tire accessary About two
and a half miles south of Searcy, the
seat of White County is a wild looking
place known as Gum "Spring, the residents
of which are known as Cobbites, owing
to the fact that ail old ltlan who claims to
be Christ rules with an iron hand. His
crazy followers claim to identify liim by
certain marks in the palms of his hands,
and he has during the past year made a
great many believe in liis doctrine. The
principal rendezvous of the Cobbites is
an old log hut, in Gum Spring, which is
on the main road leading from Searcy to
Little Rock.
During the last few days the attention
of passers-by has been attracted by strange
noises, and, this fact being conveyed to
the citizens of Searcy, they determined to
investigate the mailer. On Ttiesday last
Mr. D. Humphreys, of Seal^y, and a
Mr. Blake, from El Paso in this county,
determined to visit Gum Spring and see
what was going on. The strange noises
were heard as they reached the locality.
On driving past the hut they were accost
ed by Mr. Dover, who claimed to be one
of God's people. Mr. Humphreys pro
posed that they should turn back and see
what was wanted. They did so, and were
invited into the liut, Dover asserting that
God was in there. Humphreys remarked,
as he got out of the buggy, that if God
was in there he wanted to see him,
As soon as they stepped from the
vehicle, Humphreys was seized by
four men and Blake by four
women. The latter succeeded in
breaking away, but the former was una
ble to do so. Blake ran about 100 yards,
and, on looking back, saw the men cut
ting his companion to pieces with long
knives. He at once started for town, but
the buggy was upset and demolished. He
then mounted his liorse, rode to Searcy at
a breakneck speed, and reported the terri
ble occurrence to the citizens. A force
was at once raised, and proceeded to the
rescue. On arriving at the sprinr a fear
ful siirlit met their gaze. The Cobbites had
decapitated Humphreys and stuck his
l^ead on a paling. A boy who was riding
by was compelled to get off his liorse and
bow to the head three times. He was also
made to pray, and then told to hurry away,
or the bowels of the earth would open and
swallow him. When the posse arrived, Mr.
T. C. Black, the leader, shouted to Dover
to conic forward. The latter wanted to
talk the matter over. He picked up
Humphrey's head at intervals, caught it
by the hair with both hands, shook it
back and forth, and then replaced it on
the fence, ordering the crowd, with a
menacing gesture, to go away. The Cob
bites then commenceif to jabber in their
own peculiar way at a furious rate. Mr.
Black did everything in his power to calm
them, without avail. Dover and his
crowd then started toward Black with no
good intent, and his posse fired, killing
two men and wounding one. The re
mainder, four men, four women anil two
babies were arrested and taken to jail.
While in custody they talked about their
Jesus, meaning Cobb, asserting that he

would come ana rescue them. "This was
about six p. m., and the town was wild
with excitement. It was feared that the
prisoners would be lynched. Scouts werfe
sent out to the vicinity of the log liut, and
a guard placed over the dead bodies there.
Another posse, about two miles the other
side of Gum Spring, captured a wagon
load of Cobbites, two men, two women
and three children. Tlicy were on their
way to church when taken, and knew
nothing of the murder. They were
brought to Searcy and lodged in a hotel,
with a guard over them. On Wednesday
morning a preliminary examination was
held tliey were all released, and re
turned to Gum Spring. They talked in
cessantly about their religion, and ges
ticulated constantly.—Kensett (Ark.) Cor.

LATER.
St. Louis, Sept. i.
A Coroner's inquest was held on the
body of Humphreys. The jury declared
the principals to the crime were Lemuel
B. Dover, James M. Dover, Thos. Gainey,
John Nelson and Elizabeth Nelson. The
verdict also made Clementine Dover, Jno.
Dover and Lee Dover accessories. The
two Cobbites who
were killed were Lemuel
B. Dover and Thos. Gainey, his son-in
law. Mrs. Nancy Gainey and two girls
were released, the testimony not going to
inculpate them further than that
they were present after the arrest
ancl while being taken to Searcy
they kept up their unearthly howls,
not ceasing until long after they were
committed to jail. Quite a number of
converts who had espoused the beastly
doctrine of Cobb, but who were not at the
meeting that day, have left the country,
fearful of the" excited populace, who
threaten all Cobbites with extermination.
Those who are in jail have grown quiet,
but refuse to talk and will tell nothing of
their religion and Its rites. They are all
gaunt, half-starved, crazed creatures. It
is said they had scarcely tasted food for
days before the terrible scenes of Tuesday
night, being engaged in preparing them
selves for the end of the world.
Ain't a Feelin' Well.
A serious phase of disease is that which
attacks a boy on a day when he particular
ly objects to going to school. He tells
his mother, with the confiding frankness
peculiar to youth, that he doesn't feel
well this morning. He doesn't know
what it is, but he is lame in the joints and
his head aches and his stomach doesn't
feel a bit good. He moves about slowly,
openly refuses food, looks dejected, negli
gent, unhappy. Quite frequently he can
be heard to sigh. But in all his pain he
never forgets the clock. As time ad
vances to the hour which marks school
time his symptons increase. He doesn't
say a word about school to his mother.
He feels too dreadful, perhaps, to talk of
such things. He is certainly in a bad
way. His sighs increase as the dreaded
time approaches, and the physical symp
toms of decay grow more and more mani
fest. But the greatest suffering he en
dures mentally. Fifteen minutcs to nine
is the time he should start. It lacks but
ten minutes of that time, and nothing has
been said to him about getting ready. He
wants to believe he is all right, because
that is the prompting of hope which is
strong in the youthful breast, but yet he
refuses to believe he is, because he fears
the reaction of disappointment. Every
time he hears his mother's voice he is
startled, and every time he detects her
looking toward him he feels his heart
sinking within him. It is a hard thing,
indeed, to appear outwardly languid and
listless and drooping when inwardly one
is a roaring furnace of agony. But he
does it, ana does it admirably. It now
lacks five minutes of the quarter. Still
she says nothing. His nervousness is al
most maddening. Four minutes, three
minutes, two minutes! One minute.
Still she makes aa »i§a, Will foUrwwn
forsake him?
It is the quarter. Now he should start
according to
custom. One would think
he had evfery encouragetrierit now, but he
knows that even at five minutes later liti
Can make school by hurrying. The agony
of the suspense becomes exquisite. He
trembles all over and he cannot help it.
His hair is moist with perspiration. It
seems as if he would give up everything
and sink into the grave if he could but
know the result. How slowly the clock
moves. It stares at him with exasperating
stoniness. The ten minutes are reached.
He breathes easier. Not a word has been
said to him about school. His mother
sees that he is too ill to go, and she sym
pathizes with him. Heaven bless her.
Did ever a boy have such a good, noble
mother as this Visions of sUntiy fields
and shady woods and running streams un
fold before hint, stirring the very depths
df his soul, and filling his eyes with tears
of gladness.
"John!"
Like a gfeat shock jhfe beautiful pict
ures fall away and he is shot fi'dm the pin-
nacle of hope into the abyss of despair.
There is no mistaking the voice.
Mercy sakes! here you arc not ready
for school. Come, start your boots."
"I don't feel well enough to go to school,"
he whines, hardly realizing the dreadful
change that has come upon him with such
blighting force and swiftness.
I guess you ain't dying, quite," is the
heartless reply, And if you ain't in
School you will be galloping over the neigh
borhood. Hurry, I tell you."
But it is almost nine o'clock and I'll
be late," he protests in desperation.
"Late?" she repeats, looking at the
clock. "You've got plenty of time.
That clock is nearly a quarter of a' nour
fttst."
Merciful Heavens! He gets down be
fore the terrific blow in a flash. A quar
ter of an hour fast! Bleeding at every
pore of his heart, stunned by a shock
which was as terrible as unexpected, he
crawls inside of his jacket and under his
hat, and starts on his way in a dazed
manner that is pitiful to behold.—Banbury
News.
Parisian Beggars' Bales.
The slallg of betandier" as a name
for a beggar (mendiant) seems to be purely
arbitrary—as entirely so as the English
"cheese it" for "be silent." The "be
tandier" is a beggar who follows the busi
ness as his regular occupation. There can
be no question that ninety-nine out of
every one hundred beggars in Paris are
such because they find the business a prof,
itable one. A creature in that grade of
lloumrd life where a choice of occupation
lies between such employments as rag
picking, street-sweeping, petty thieving
and the like, has no pride to govern his
course, and lie turns to beggary as a busi
ness quite as willingly an any other, if he
can see his way to success in it. There is
a necessity of talent involved in the occu
pation of a beggar, however. A stupid
person setting up as a beggar will not 1e
likely to earn enough to eat. But, if one
has some histrionic ability, it can be
turned to good purpose in this business. A
talent for getting oneself up picturesquely
is of immense value. Mental qualities of
a high order bring their own exceptional
rewards in this field as in others. An old
beggar whose post was, and for aught I
know still is, at the entrance of the Pas
sage Vero-Dodat, was reputed to be aman
of wealth. He was certainly a man of tal
ent. In a moment of communicativeness
this old battandier gave his code," as
he called it, which is worth printing. It
is as follows:
Never ask alms from—
1. A man who is coming from dinner
roast beef renders one selfish.
2. A gentleman who is following a lady.
3. Men who are too fat it annoys them
to stop.
4. A lady who is alone and unobserved.
5. Gentlemen who are puWug on their
gloves.
But ask always from—
1. A man who is going to dinner he
sympathizes with the empty stomach.
2. A lady who- knows she is being fol
lowed.
3. People who are walking two by two
their amour propre makes them give.
4. Officers in full-dress uniform.
5. Office-seekers going into Cabinet Min
isters'bureaus they give, in hope that it
will bring them luck.
A hideous-looking beggar was arrested
recently in the Rue des Boulets, a sinister
street in the Faubourg St Antoine, be
tween whom and the police commissioner
the following conversation ensued:
Your name?"
"Pontron Jacques—nicknamed Eyes
for Everything."
"Your profession?"
Witness."
"Witness? What do you mean by wit
ness?"
As I have eyes for everything, I know
everything that occurs in the neighbor
hood, and am called up eveiy time there is
a row or anything."
In answer to further questioning the
man stated that he belonged in the Quar
tier Ste. Marguerite, and that by his pro
fession he netted about forty francs a
month, his pay being two franc a time.
This information, if accurate, would indi
cate with precision the number of rows
per month indulged in by the scoundrels
of the quarter. In the intervals between
rows, Pontron Jacques practiced on the
sympathies of strangers as a beggar.—
WirtSikes, in Appleton's Journal,.
Your Own Things.
There is one provoking way in which
some people observe the Scriptural injunc
tion, "Look not every man on his own
things, but also on the things of others."
It prevails mostly in the free and easy
houses, where nobody is regarded as hav
ing any property which particularly ap
pertains to him or herself. Mary wears
Jane's waterproof, and Tom takes Dick's
umbrella, without a question as to the
right of the case. Ellen can never be
sure of having her own gloves, hand
kerchief, ribbons or pins, for Susie goes
to lier wardrobe and takes what she
wants.
It is very much better to be too exact,
in defining the limits of personal right,
than to be too lax. Our clothes are, or
ought to be, so much our own that they
acquire a look'of us, a portion of our in
dividuality. It is not well that sisters
should wear each other's cuffs and collars,
without so much as saying, "by your
leave," or that liair-bruslies should be in
discriminately used by whoever wishes,
without regard to ownership. Mothers
who wish to cultivate in their little ones a
nice sense of propriety, will do so by giv
ing to each his or her own things, and
then insisting that each use his own and
not another's property. Christian at
Work.
Life in Tents.
It is a pity, with the thermometer at
ninety degrees in the shade, that life in
tents should not be more general than it is
among those whose means and leisure en
able them to secure its advantages. No
doubt the practice has grown within the
last few years. None who are familiar
with the Thames can fail to have observed
amidst its quiet, beautiful reaches dainty
little tabernacles of snowy canvas stretched
Upon many a green spot along the banks.
About them and in their neighborhood is
every sign of comfort. The well-appointed
boat rides at her painter a few yards off,
complete and finished, from the white
rudder lines to the dainty little fenders
that keep her varnish from the rough
touch of the lock side. Without the fairv
like dwellings are spread, under the shade
of overhanging boughs, comfortable mat
tresses, each resting upon a waterproof
sheet, which effectually prevents the ab
sorption of moisture from the ground.
Suspended from a tripod, over a fire of
Mirf and sticks, the kettle sings a cheerful
invitation to evening tea, while bottles of
mineral water are left cooling in the
stream. Camping out has, in short, be
come a recognized institution. All who
have enjoyed its pleasures know how com
fortable it is, ana what fresh life a week
under canvas seems always to ii&part.—

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.
—Every farmer should have a good
woodshed( and during the fall it should be
well filled with wood. Dry wood stored in
the shed will be much more pleasant and
economical to use during the cold, rainy
arid unpleasant Weather of winter, than
vfrill that \frliicli has remained outof doors,
—When fence faWs are cleaned out do
not throw the trash ovfer the fence into the
road, or into the corners, but burn it, or,
where there are gullies which wash otlt,
throw the trash into them, and so prevent
any further damage, but never waste or
destroy anything which may be turned
into manure.
—Have a particular place for every im
plement about the premises, and when not
In usej be sure to keep it there. By so do
ing a great deal of time, trouble, vexation
and hard feeling will often be saved. Put
everything where you can go directly to
it and place your hand on it in the dark
est night. Don't leave your farm tools
exposed to the weather, or they will soon
rust and rot out, and you will be com
pelled to buy new oiics.—Ohio Farmer.
—Among the tilings which every farm
er should have is a well stocked orchard
of fruit trees. Whenever a tree dies it
should be replaced by another, and by
having trees of different ages, he may be
almost certain of fruit every year. A
liberal supply of apples and peaches
should be planted, together with a few
pear and cherry trees. Small fruits for
family use should not be neglected, and
good care should be taken of all. Fruits
are among the most healthful of our
foods, antl no farm should be without
them.—Iown State Iteqister.
—A neighbor of ours recently informed
us that he had lost a mo»t valuable horse
by a casualty by no means uncommon. A
knowledge of a simple remedy would
have prevented this loss. The horse trod
upon a nail which entered his foot.
Lameness followed, the nail wa» extract
ed, but lockjaw supervened, resulting in
death. An unfailing remedy in such
cases is muriatic acid. If, when a nail
is withdrawn from a horse's foot, the foot
should be held up and some muriatic
acid be poured into the wound, neither
lameness nor lockjaw need be feared.
AYliy the iron should have the effect
which it frequently has, and the rationale
of the above remedy, we are unable to
explain but of the certainty of the coun
teraction of disease by this perfectly safe
application, we are well convinced.—
Rural Ilome.
—Roses intended for forcing in pots
next winter (having been kept in their
pots during summer) should be taken out
at this time, the old soil well shaken from
the roots, and repotted in the same sized
pots. The soil most suitable for rose
culture is good, fresh loam, mixed with
about one-third well-decayed cow manure,
which is much superior to horse manure,
or any other kind of animal manure—horse
droppings are apt to create fungi when
used for any purpose under glass—and,
besides, cow manure is cooler, and conse
quently more suited to tlic requirements
of the rose. A\rliat is termed a stiff, mel
low loam is what the rose does best in
very loose, open soil does not produce
such fine buds, nor are they so highly
colored as when grown in the stiff soil.
AVhen potting, firm the soil well around
the roots, and leave no empty space
around the edges of the pot. Prune the
plants well back when they are taken out
of the pots it is not only much more con
venient doing it at this time, but they gen
erally make finer breaks that when left
until later.—Gardners' Monthly.
The Way to Use Clothes Wringers.
The proper way to use clothes wringers
is to adjust the pressure according to the
thickness of the garments to be wrung.
Well, who don't know that?" But who
will do it, even if tliey do know it? More
than this, large and heavy articles should
be folded the long way into a narrow strip,
so that they can pass smoothly between
the rollers. Yes, I know that as well as
any editor can tell me." Then why not
fold large articles straight and smooth, so
that the bunches, wrinkles and rolls of the
clothing will not strain the rollers and
springs? AVe have seen smart and intel
ligent women snatch up a corner of a
large and heavy coverlet, thrust it between
the rollers when the pressure was adjusted
to wring collars and light fabrics, and
then jerk and yank on the crank when
large folds and wrinkles would obstruct
the free movements of the rollers until the
rubber would be torn from the iron jour
nal. Untold numbers of good clothes
wringers have been rendered worth
less simply by such harsh and
inexcusable usage. Which is the
better way, to fret and worry
when using the wringer and rush
clothes between the rollers in large bunch
es and damage the wringer, or spend three
minutes more per day at folding the
clothes properly into narrow strips and
thus keep the wringer in good working
order? It requires exceedingly rough
usage to separate the rubber from the iron
journal. Still manufacturers of wringers
do a large business at repairing rollers
that have been damaged by improper
usage. We frequently stand by the wash
tub and direct the operator to "fold cover
lets into long and smooth strips before
they are put between the rollers. Then
tliey will slip through without straining
any part of the wringer beyond its
strength. Clothes wringers would last a
lifetime if they were used properly.—N.
Y. Herald.
Farm Tillages.
There is no necessity that farmers
should be isolated so much as they gener
ally are, nor any need that the farm build
ings should be in the center of each farm.
It is simply a matter of figures and calcu
lation, as to whether the saving of a few
hours' labor—or a few days in the aggre
gate—yearly, in hauling the crops to the
barn, with the barn and house in the cen
ter of the farm, and a mile away from the
nearest neighbor, is of more value or more
convenient than to have one's neighbors
closer and one's fields farther off. "There
are many advantages in having three or
four homesteads contiguous and forming
a hamlet, or with a few tenant houses or
cottages, a small village. This is especial
ly desirable in the West where the land
was originally so divided that four farms
necessarily meet at one corner, where two
roads cross. Where farms are 160 acres
in extent, there would then be four houses
together at every mile four sets of farm
buildings four orchards, and four planta
tions, which would condense the shelter
provided by these, and make it much
more effective than when scattered lialf-a
mile apart. At or near one of these
corners the blacksmith's shop and other
conveniences would naturally be located,
and in time a farm village would be built
up. There would be far better social op
portunities than farmers now enioy
and many more opportunities for
combining labor and capital in
joint enterprises. The scattered ap
pearance of the houses in the early settle
ment of a new western country, and even
of the more substantial homesteads of an
older one, is one of the most conspicuous
disadvantages which strike a visitor from
a more populous part of the country.
Neither does it improve upon acquaint
ance, and the necessary isolation is much
felt by the new comers. It is convenient
to be in the center of one's farm, but it is
a question worth considering when a new
house is to be built, if it would not be bet
ter to build nearer to one's next door
neighbor.—American Agriculturist.
Transplanting Evergreen Trees in An
tnmn.
If evergreen trees are transplanted in
late autumn, they cannot be expected to
survive the cold of winter, for the reason
that the roots have no vital hold on the
soil. But if they can be put in a deep,
rich and mellow bed so early in autumn
that the roots will send out new rootlets,
which will take a vital hold of the soil be
fore the end of the growing season, the
chances for living will be greatly in favor
of the trees. Hence if trees be planted in
September, there will be sufficient heat in
the soil to start a system of new roots at
once.
A farmer of extensive experience has
communicated his practice as follows,
with reference to transplanting evergreen
ftee# early lix autumn It is generally
supposed that spring is the only safe sea
son to transplant evergreens. Indeed, so
uniform is the teaching of nurserymen
and other writers on the subject, that one
who has never tried it is likely to be led
to the conclusion that it cannot be success
fully done at any other season of the year.
My own experience has led me to the con
clusion that while May and early June is
a good season for this work, it is not the
only time that this work may be success
fully performed. Some years ago it be
came necessary, in changing the location
of a nursery, to remove a large lot of
evergreens during the latter part of Au
gust and early September. They ranged
from two to eight feet in height. The
weather was dry and no special pains
were taken more than I would take in
handling any stock under similar circum
stances that is to guard against the dry
ing of the roots while out of the ground.
As the soil was quite dry, some ater was
poured in around the roots when the hole
was half filled with dirt. Not one per
cent, was lost, and the trees grew the next
year as if they had not been disturbed.
The difficulty in transplanting evergreens
is found in the fact that the leaves are al
ways on, and of course evaporation goes
on all the time. The idea seems to be,
therefore, to get the roots into action as
soon as possible after the operation of
transplanting. At the season of which I
speak the growth has ceased and is sim
ply ripening up, and the tree hastens to
restore the balance between root and top
by pushing out in a short time small
rootlets from the mutilated roots. With
these precautions evergreens may be
transplanted in the late summer and early
fall. Never let the small roots get dry.
Pack the soli well around the roots, and if
very dry, water in setting and then mulch
well to keep the soil from drying out. If
the ground is poor, bring a few shovelfuls
of rich soil from some other place to scat
ter directly on the roots.—N. Y. Herald.

A Theory Borne Out by Facts.

kidney, bladder and uterine complaints by
Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters, the ruling rem

This superb tonic is never employed without
the most beneficial effects. The liver, the
bowels, the organs of urination, and indeed
the entire system acquires both vigor and reg
ularity through its action, since it gives a
healthful impetus to every failing function.
It is an incomparable specific for chills and

counteracting the effects of undue exposure
or fatigue, and soothes well as strength
