A Nice Icfcai Tolnf. A negro whose bruised and swollen face and tattered clothing bore evi dence of rough handling, recently limped into the presence of a South ern magistrate. “I wants you ter arrest Sana John* sing foh hatt'ry, sah:" he exclaimed. “For assault and battery, you mean,” suggested the dispenserof jus tice. “No, sah. Jess foil battery, sah." “How can that be?” “Well, *ah. it wuz jess dis way.

Our four footed friends seem to be aware ol this, and make it a part of their par ental dut es to amuse their young. A ferret will play with her kittens, a cat with her-, a dog with her puppies. A mare will play with her foal, though the writer has never seen a cow try to amuse her calf, nor any birds theii young. If their mothers do not amuse them, the young ones invent games of their own. A (lock of ewes and lambs were once observed in ad oinirtg (.elds, sep arated by a fence with several gaps in it. “Follow my leader” was the game most in favor with this flock,the big gest lamb leading around the field and then jumping the gap, with all the others following in single fllo;ariy lamb that took the leap unusually well would give two or three more enthusiastic jumps out of sheer exu berant happiness when it reached the other side. Fawns played a sort of cross touch from one side to the other, the “touch” in each case being by tho nose. Little pigs arc also great at com bined play, which generally takes tho form of races. Emulation seems to form part of their amusement, for their races seem always to have the winning of the first place for their object, and are quite different from those combined rushes for food, or causeless stampedes in which little pigs are wout to indulge. Racing is an amusement natural to some ani mals, and, being soon taught by others, becomes one of their most exciting passtimes. Many horses, and all racing dogs, learn to be as keen at winning as schoolboys. Bird' delight in the free and fanciful use of their wings. There Is all the difference possible between the flight of birds for “business” and pleasure; and many kinds on tine days, will soar to vast heights lor pleasure alone.

An American writer on bee culture ad j vocates the crossings of ordinary bees with the giant bees of India, so as to ob tain a race with a longer proboscis and perhaps of increased size. If this im proved race were then crossed with the South American stingless bee, he believes a breed would be obtained having all the good points of the Italian bee, with lengthened proboscis and no sting. The same authority considers that the swarm ing instinct might be successfully bred out of bees if it were deemed desirable to destroy it.—Detroit Free Press. H1XT8 TO BUTTER-MAKERS. Be careful not to overwork the butter, injuring the grain and making grease of it. Work by pressure and not by fric tion. A slanting worker ivith a movable roller or with a level attached at one end will be found to lessen the labor, and is much preferable to the bowl and ladle. Put up in a neat ana attractive form, and get it to the consumer as quickly as pos sible. If it is thought better to do so it may be packed solidly in tubs or crocks and covered with butter cloth or parch ment paper and a salt plaster so as to exclude the air. To this salt-covering fresh brine should bo added from time to time. To prepare ash or spruce tubs to be filled with butter they should be soaked with brine lor one or two days, afterward rinsed, scalded and have salt sprinkled on the inside before packing ia the butter. Tin-lined butter tubs are used by a number of butter makers. —American Dairyman. don't. Don't strike your horse when he is doing his best before the carriage on a trot, or before a a heavy load on a walk. Don’t drive a horse or team without a whip; it may save your life and that of your team at a railroad crossing or on the ^ide of a steep bank. Don’t water your horse or team when hot with exercise or hard work; if they need refreshing sponge out the mouth. Don’t allow your team to stand in the stall with muddy legs and body after you have by fast driving on muddy roads splashed them all over with mud; wash their legs and then rub until dry. Don’t allow the check of your horse’s bridle to raise his head higher thau he would naturally carry it; it is a cruel torture, and the fashion which demands it is a detestable folly. Don’t allow your farrier to pare the heels of your horse’s hoofs because they are soft and easy to cut, but make him pare the toes when they need it, even if they are hard. Don’t drive your horses fast down a steep decline if you desire to keep their legs straight. Don't work a colt before he is three years old, and after that only in a gentle and light-work fashion. Don’t breed a mare until she is four yeats old and has her full growth if you expect to raise sizeable and serviceable j colts. Don't give your horses double feed, be cause you intend for him to do a hard hay’s work; give him extra care after the work. Don’t strike your cow because in lighting flies she happens to hit you a whack across the face with her fly brush; she does uot know that your head is in the way. Don’t allow your stock to run down in flesh before you begin feeding, simply because we are dating our letters Sep tember instead of November. When the pastures are dry aud bare and the fields have all been gleaned, your live stock needs feediug, even if it be only July or August; it is poor economy not to feed under such circumstances. Don t leecl your swine more than ; they will eat up clean at a meal. It is better to feed a little and often, even from three to five times in a day, if you desire to fatten them quickly. Don’t waste your money buying fancy stock of any kind, unless you are able and willing to give them fancy treat ment. Without this they will soon lose their fancy looks and condition, and you will lose your fancy for fancy stock and i your cash a3 well. Don’t allow your wife to pick up chips and corn cobs when you ought to have a i good wood pile ready cut and a coal bin lull of coal near by. Don’t attempt to keep house and go ' on farming without a good agricultural i and secular paper. Provide a good 1 magazine and a religious journal as well, | and also liteiature for the youngsters. ; You cannot ulford to do without these. ! —St. Louis Republic. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Keep the best ewe lnmbs on the farm ! for breeder?. Save seed from the finest and smooth est tomatoes. Get in your bulbs for winter aud early spring blooms. Leaf mold makes good material for | potting most plants. Fowls like fresh water in the fall as i well as in the summer. many seeds as possible. Some sheep breeders are unable to see the faults and imperfections in their own flock, but can’t see anything good in the flocks of others. The general iguorance of physical and economic conditions of flock success is the most serious hindrance to-day of ex tending and re-establishing sheep keep ing. Of the cheap remedies used to rid cab bages of worms a gardener found two ounces of saltpeter and a handful of salt to two gallous of water tiie mo3t Direc tive. On another's plants air slacked lidid the best work. Tne greatest profit, as ft rule, is made off those hogs the weight of which is under 200 pounds. AVhile a hog is young he, with the same amount of food, is capable of taking on more flesh than when he reaches an older age. White clover stands first as a honey plant, and linden second. The blossoms ; of the latter are peculiar. They are yel- | low in color, and airanged so that the ! nectar is easily gotten oy the hoes, and , they can load up quickly and heavily. The best metiio 1 of feeding bees in winter is to give them a frame of honey. All colonies do not consume the same amount of store, so that enough co:nb3 may sometimes be spared from those which have plenty to supply the needy. It will be a treat to the pigs if they are allowed the full privilege of running through the orchard. Besides, they will do a vast amount of good by eating fruit which in deciting forms an admirals.c breeding place for disease aud spore3 of insects. Japanese f lower Ceremonial. The visitor must leave his fan in the antechamber, and, entering the recep tion-room, seat himself respectfully on his heels iu front of the shrine. If there are three kakemonos (pictures on rollers), he must examine first the central one, then that to the left, and, lastly, the one on the right hand. He then is sup posed to signify his opinion as to the exact degree of admiration to bo ex pressed according to the character of the specimens. Indiscriminating gush ii not permitted in polite circles. The respectful inspection over and the propet tilings said, the host presents to his guest, on a tray, cut flowers and branches, a knife, scisors, a small sa.v, a vase, and a napkin, at the same time rolling up the kakemonos, “as it is con sidered to he demanding too much of a visitor to expect him to extemporize a flower arrangement in harmony,” but the guest may face the difficulty and re tain tne unfamiliar background. The master of the house now offers one of his most precious vases suitable to the season and the flowers, and the ! visitor pleads his inability to do justice to so beautiful a receptacle, but if pressed to make use of it he must theu 1 take care that the arrangement is simple aud unobtrusive? so as not to distract at tention from the vase. When com- ; pleted, the implements are again ar- , ranged on the tray, with the exceptiou of the scissors, which are “left near the flowers as a silent and modest invitation : to the master of the house to correct j faults.” The host sweeps up the rub- j bish and takes away the tray. The other visitors, who have meantime beeu waiting iu the anteroom, are now ad mitted to pay the proper compliment. Before leaving, the artist, unless a per- j son of superior rank, takes the flower- [ out of the vase; “it is considered pre- j sumptuous of him to quit without de stroying the evidence of his skill.’1 j Should the entertainer by inadvertence t have supplied scented flowers on an oc casion such as an “incensed meeting,” when perfume is prohibited, the polite aititicer makes uo remark, but snips off the blossoms, lc-nving only the unopened and scentless buds. The flowers must not be offered trimmed, or they might look as if they had been previously used.—Saturday Review. Water Clocks of Olden Xira?s. It appears that the Assyrians were the Erst people to divide the day into portions of time; also, that they were the inventors of the c'epsydra, or water clock, the division of time and the invention both belonging to a period too remote for precise ealculation. All we know of the history of the clepsydra is that the ap paratus was in use at the time of the overthrow of the first Assyrian Empire, B. C. 759. This wa.ter clock, the first of the timekeepers, was nothing more than a cylindrical brass vessel capable of hold ing several gallons of water. At one side there was a very small hole through which the water was allowed to trickle, something after the fashion of the empty ing of an hourglass. From experiments made ou recently discovered clopsydras it is calculated that one would empty it self about once every two hours. Under the reign of Phul, the Royal Palace of Nineveh, ns well as each of the principal districts of the city, possessed a water clock of the Bame size, shape and capacity. They were filled at a signal from the watchman on the tower, who was stationed there to proclaim the moment of the rising of the sun. Dur ! ing the day they were in the custody 01 officials whose duty it was to till them as often as they became empty. Besides these “time-masters” there was a regular staff of criers, working under municipal authority, who, as often as the clocks were emptied, passed through the prin cipal streets announcing the lact for the benefit of the people in general. In this way our remote ancestors managed to get a rough computation ot the Eight of time.—St. Louis Republic. THE WORLD’S FAIR. 1VH AT THE COLUMBIAN EXHIBI XION AV.LL DO FOB AMEKICA. It Will Far Surpass the I’arls Exhi bition in Artist ic Interest—T ho Most Beautiful Spectacle ot Onr Generation. ——t rrz confidently assert, on the \ \ ' evidence of all the most \ V experienced judges of art * * whom it has been possible for us to consult, that the Chicago Ex hibition will far surpass even the Paris one of 1SS9 when considered in its en tirety and for its artistic interest. A much more beautiful, scholarly and mon umental type of architecture has been adopted for its main buildings; acces sory works of an ornamental kind will be more numerous, more imposing, and more original, while at least equally ar tistic in character; greater care is being taken that harmony of ellect shall not be injured by the aspect of minor works ol utility or decoration; and the neighbor hood of the great lake, and the novel and skillful way in which w'ide expanses of water aud varied plantations have been made the basis of the plau of the '■rounds themselves, will much more than compensate lor tne auseuct ui «* rushing river like the Sieue and a dom inating hill like the Trocadero. The Eiffel Tower is a marvelous, an interest ing, and hardly an ugly structure; but it Is not an artistic structure. It did not conflict with its surroundings at Paris, but anything resembling it—anything remarkable chiefly for size or for me chanical ingenuity—would look, pain fully out of place on the Chicago grounds. This fact suffices to prove their higher degree of beauty; and the fact that no conspicuous structure ap pealing in any way to mere curiosity, or to thelove of the new or the marvelous, has been contemplated by the authorities at Chicago, proves how seriously and wisely artistic a spirit is controlling the great enterprise. Those who fail to see the exhibition of 1893 will fail to see the most beautiful spectacle which has been offered to the eyesof our generation. But those who have time to sec only its general aspect, without studying any of its collections— wonderfully interesting though these will be—will have seen the very best of it. When we remember what a great im pulse was given to the popular love of art by the collections shown in the ex hibition of 1S7G, what may we not ex pect as a result of the stately, beauti ful, and truly poetic panorama ot art that will be unrolled before the eyes of the Nation in 1893? It will show for the first time, to scores of thousands of Americans who have never traveled abroad aud can scarcely hope to do so, what is the meaning of the word beauty, what is the significance of the word art. It will convince them, as nothing else but long and intelligent foreign travel could, that beauty is an enjoyable thing, that art is a thing worth striving for and paying for. Indeed, no amount of foreign travel could teach this lesson so clearly as it will bo taught to the average American by the plain fact that all this stately splendor was thought worth geting and worth paying for by hard-headed American business men, and for a merely temporary purpose. One con stantly hears expressions of regret that buildings and sculptures so costly and beautiful should be destined to iast for a few months only, but, in truth, their transitory character will vastly augment their missionary power. Even the most ignorant may dimly understand that it is worth while to take pains and spend money upon a result which is to be for all time; but at Chicago they will be told that this is worth while even for u result of almost ephemeral duration. Had Chicago equaled Paris, it would be greatly to our credit; but it lias sur passed Paris. Had it produced a beauti ful exhibition in imitation of the Paris Exhibition, it would again be much; but it has conceived an entirely different ideal, and carried it out on entirely novel lines. We shall have an exhibition more dignified, beautiful and truly artistic than any the world has seen; aud it will be entirely our own, in general idea aud in every detail of its execution. It will convince alt cultivated Americans, we repeat, of the vitality and vigor and in dependence of American art; and, we believe, its effect upon the vast public which will view it will convince them oi the genuiness of the nascent Ameri can love of art. Tannin g Skins. Making leather from the skins of animals is one of the oldest arts practised, by mankind. In its rudest form among ravages it consisted in removing the hair and then reducing the skin to a dry and flexible condition, in which pulling it and working it with the hands were leading agencies, in tanning as now practised the hides are first subjected to a lime and water treatment, which loosens the hair and enables the fat and loose flesh to be easily scraped olf. Other preparatory processes follow, but the chief agency in making leather is the hark of certain trees which is ground up and placed in vats, generally sunk into the ground. Hero a thick solution of bark and water is made in which the prepared skins are placed and remain un til the tannic acid of the bark changes the entire character of the skin. For this purpose the bark ot oak trees is pre ferred, but the bark of hemlock trees is Uso used to a considerable extent. This atter process formerly occupied a year or nore, but at present, with improved nethods, the finished leather is turned >ut in a much shorter time. Drying, oil ng, blacking and dressing the aides thus tanned are the finishing processes in father-making.—Kent York World.
