Kinduess to Animals. .
Every one should' know that: kindly
treated animals will do their beat for their
owners. ' A curious case happened re
cently, wbicn may be given as an exam
pie. A noted trotter wag driven in a race
by a strange driver, rbe horse was evi
dently' dissatisfied ' and lost 'two heats.
The old driver knew the horse could do
better, - and begged the owner to be per
mitted "to drive him. lira entreaties
prevailed, and when he s mounted the
sulky the horse whinued with pleasure
ana won the next three beats with ease,
making ench a record that the owner .had
an offer of fifteen thousand "dollars for the
animal: It is always thus.' Alarm horse
kindly treated will ' do, 4 more, work than
one1 which is not attached to the owner or
driver. ' A cow will lose' milk when , at
tended by a strange or disagreeable per;
son, and one that is' petted and treated
'ilh gentleness' will never exhibit the
common fractiousness of kicking', or hold
ing up the milk. This is true of all farm
animals,-who return kindness .with' affecr
tion and -generosity, and abundantly , re
pay' the ' consideration ' shown them by
their'owners.' Every boy .especially every
farmer's boy, should early learn to treat
alt aniniaU with kindness. ' '' " " ,
If it were possible' to rise above
the atmosphere which surrounds the earth,
we should see nothing but an intense and
sharply denned ball of fire,' while every
thing else would be wrapped ' in total
darkness. There could be no diffusion
of lisht without an atmosphere or some
similar medium for it to act upon; but if
the air about us extended' to a' -height of
seven hundred miles, the rays of the ' sun
could not-penetrate it and- we would be
left in darkness. 'At the "depth of 700
feet in the ocean the light ceases altogeth
er, one-half of the light being absorbed
in passing through only Beven feet of the
purest water.

" t A New; jSewing Machiiie -kokoK .'i j
An exhibition of a new motor tor sew-
tog macnines " was given to-oay. ipe
motor is run by two cells ' and is Claimed
to be the first successful one of its kind.
The method" is exceedingly simple and
can be readily 'understood. The battery
is in a box twelve inches long, twelve
inches high, and six : incheaj wide.: . It is
an ordinary zino and carbon, batteryi the
solution being maiuly : bichromate of pot-
aso; xne cnemicai is mrnunea in sona
cakes, and .is, easily handled.. .The cells
are square, with handles, i and when the
solution is. exhausted they are taken but,
the cake of bicromate la. put .in, with sum-
oient water to dissolve it, and -the battery
is all ready for running.. 1 he motor is
attached to the sewing machine by a
thumb-screw' and is connected' with ; the
battery by two wires.--;- J -
A handle is used for raising and lower
ing the zincs, and the speed ot the ma-,
chine can be regulated by ' the depth to !
which they are immersed in the solution.
A speed varying from 250 to 1,000 revo
lutions per minute ' can be - obtained.
About eight hours continual- running -ex.-.
hausts the solution, when 'it must be re
newed. .The zincs last from six to eight
weeks when in constant use, and they can
be renewed at a small cost. ! For ordinary
family sewing the charge will last' three
weeks. . lhere is no chance ol shock from
the battery, as the current is so low-that
it is an impossibility. The estimated cost
of running is three cents per hour , when
in use. The motor itself is as little liable
to get out of order as the sewing ma
chine,' and there seems to be a probability
that a domestic problem of very, general
interest has been solved at last, satisfac
torily. XT. ,T. Times. , , '. j , I .

, uurma : .nts : stay at the . lasmonable
watering-place, be paid a visit to. a large
orphaqasylam and school that was onder
government patronage. Of course, ! the
presence of so distinguished a personage,
as migbt.be expected, created quite a sen
satiou.io the establishment.' After listen
ing with much interebt to the recitations
ol several of the classes, his majesty called
to him a bright, flaxen-haired little girl of
five or six years of age; and lifting her
into his lap, said to her;, r ' . :
VNqw, my, little Frauleio, iet me, see
how well .yon. are ,- taught. To what
kingdom .doeiAhs belong , And, taking
out of, hu ppeket ao orange he held it, up
The little girl hesitated a . moment.
and looking timidly., up in the Emper
or's face, replied : "To , the ' vegetable
kingdom." t . . : , . ,
"Very good, my little Fraulein; and
now, to what kingdom) does this belong?"
And he drew, out, of his pocket a , gold
piece, and placed it on the orange.; .,
, Again the little girl hesitated, but
soon replied: "To the mineral king
dom." .. '.',,': ;) . . ... ;
"Better and better," said the Emperor.
"Now look a me. and say .to. what king
dom ,1 belong." At this question there
was an ominous , silence among, the
teache?s and visitors, who were listening
to his royal catechism. , Could she. make
any other reply than "To the animal
kingdom ?" . , i
J The little girl hesitated long, as if per
plexed as to what answer she would give.
Was the Emperor an animal ?' ' Her eyes
sought those of her teacher and her school
mates. ' Then she looked up at the aged

Indeed, it seemed to many that Wash
ington bore a .charmed life, and it. was
often said that he was - under the - special
protection Of God. He was fearless and
constantly exposed" ' to danger, . but his
constant escapes made him cool and self
possessed, and the admiration of his men.
He was excited by the events which were
hurrying the war to the close, and he
watched with intense -t earnestness : the
several assaults which were made on the
works. Once he had dismounted and was
standing by Generals Knox and Lincoln
at the grand battery. , It was not a safe
place, for, though they were behind a for
tification, it; was quite possible for shot to
enter the-opening through which they were
looking. One of his aids,growiog nervous,
begged him to leave,' for the pl&oe was
very much exposed.
"If you think so," said Washington, "you
ball did strike the cannon, and, rolling off,
are at uoerty to step back. presently a
fell at Washington's feet.
General Knox
seized him by the arm. ''
1 "My dear General," said he, "we
can't
spare you yet."-
i-"It's a spentball," replied Washington,
coolly. "No barm is done." He watched
the action until the' redoubts which his
men had been assaulting were taken; then
he drew a long breath of relief and tamed
to Knox.
"The work is done," he said empbati-

: j : Handlm.Tobacco.
By Maj. Robt. L. Ragland of Granville county .1
' After curior. 'as soon as the tobacco is
sufficiently soft to move,' you may ran; H
up in the roof of the barn . and crowd: it
close, or if the barn is needed . for otfiei '
curings the tobacco may be carried to the
,tbraee barn or bulked down in any dry
house on the premises. ' But be sure that
nothiog is Jbulked with green' stalks i 6i
swelled stems, for if such are placed down
in bulk it will bo sore to beat and utterly J
ruin. , - u -, ? -.. a i ' ' I
.If, after the tobacco is cured, the weath-
er remains dry and it fails to get soft
readily, so that it can. be. moved, it may
be brought in order ic. the following way :
Place green bushes with the leaves on over
tVta flnnr and snrinVla wotsr nvar lliLm
Copiously: if the tobacco s very dry and
the atmosphere contains' but little mois-
ture, and if the weather is cool,'8 ti little
fire kindled in the flues will assist in mi
ingthe tobacco soft.' Stiaw wet. or made
so, will auswer the same" purpose. If the j
weather is damp, there will be no neces
sity to use either straw, brush 'or' water.
But : when it is necessary to : use any
means to order tobacoo, it is best to ap
ply them m the afternoon, that the to
bacco may be removed the next morning.
If Ahe weather continues warm, damp
or rainy i : tobacco that remains hanging
will be apt to change color, ' unless -dried
out by flues or charcoal. When this be
comes necessary, build small fires at first,
and raise the heat gradually. ' " , : f-
. Stripping-Tqbtooo should never, ;be
stripped from the stalks except in pliable
order, and the leaves on every plant should
pe careiuuy assorted, and every grade tied
up separately. Usually there - will be
three grades of leaf, assorted with refervl
' - .... : I
ence to color and size, and two of lugs.;
ut leat tie six to eight leaves ma bundle j
and lugs eight to ten. , As fast as y 6u
strip, either hang the ''hand yy on, sticks-
twenty-five on eacli stick and hang op' or
balk down in- two jayere, the heads of
hands or bundles facing outward. The
latter mode ia best,1 if yon intend r to f svU
in winter order loosed on - the warehouse
floors'. If bulked down watch' frequently
to see that it does not heat. ' If the bulk
becomes warm' it most be broken ' up,
aired and rebulked or bung up if too Bolt.
It Is safer always to hang up as soon as
stripped, tinless yon design' to sell 'soon,
and strike down 'in1 "safe-keeping" 6rder,
id spring or ' summer: It is considered
in safe order" whea- the- leaf is pliable,'!
and the stem will orack half way down
way
from the tie.
. lit--:.
'Packing. r-If you Be
ml I09.se,; deliver
in
large uniform piles such . will cost less,
and your tobacco . bring j more in price.
But to sell in a distant , market, pack Jin
tierces half hogsheads make the bestabd
cheapest to, weigh about; four hundred
pounds nettaking care not, lo press jthe
tobacco so as to bruise it, or. pack it too
closely together. '' The best leaf is 'wan ted
for wrappers, and it must ! open easily
when shaken in-the hand. Pack 'one
grade only in each tierce, uniform in color
and length; bat if it becomes necessary
to put more than one grade in a tierce,
place strip? of paper or straw between to
mark and separate them. Pack honestly,
for honesty is the best policy. The man
who "nests" his tobacco will certainly go
oil the "Black List," and buyers have good
memories. '"'' ; " ' ' . ' : .
If your tobacco is fine, sound and nicely
handled,, you will have the satisfaction of
getting, at the least, a remunerating price
tor j, it, although , poor, and , nondescript
stock may be selling for less than the cost
of production. . ; The world outside of .this
I country .makes, as a rale, low grades
plenty,, and at a cost to raise much ; less
than we, can ; compass. We, must plant
less surface, .manure heavier, . ana culti-
yate and manage better, if we would get
the best prices.
