The Young Orator Sqnclched.
k Senator Voorhees often entertains
his friends with reminiscences of his
early Lw practice, says the Household,
when Le was struggling laboriously to
make a reputation and to get on in the
world. He was employed at one time
in the defense of a murderer. It was
a desperate case. The evidence of the
crime was direct and positive. His
client's reputation was bad, and there
eeemed to be no extenuating circum
stances. The young lawyer's only
available resource was oratory in sum
ming up the case. He threw himself
into his work with characteristic ardor.
The Kentucky court room audience
was profoundly affected by his elo
quence. The jury in tho box were
overcome with emotion, and 8ev ral
members of the panel were wij in ;
their eyes suspiciously when the orato.
took his seat.
The prosecuting attorney was an old
man, gruff in manner, and with a shrill,
jipiig voice. He had listened to the
pppeal of young Voorhees without a
sign of sensibility. He had not, how
ever, overlooked the effect which had
been produced upon tho susceptible
jury. He roso slowly from his seat
and took a pinch of snuff with great
deliberation. He looked at the bench
and then glanced sharply in the direc
tion of the jury. Then ho remarked
with u strong nasal twang:
"(lentlemen of the jury, you might
as well understand from the very be
ginning that I arn not boring for
water!"
There whs an instant's pause, and
then the audienco was convulsed with
merriment. A single dry sentence from
the shrewd old prosecutor sufficed to
overwhelm with ridicule the eloquent
pleadings of his ambitious opponent,
who had no case, yet had nearly suc
ceeded by his eloquence and pathos in
securing the acquittal of the prisoner.
Then, taking a second pinch of snuff,
and paying no further attention to tho
argument for the defense, tho prose
cutor summed up tho evidence in a
plain, business-like way, and compelled
the jury, by sheer force of reason and
common sense, to convict the mur
derer. A Triumph ol Mechanical Ingenuity
A triumph of mechanical ingenuity,
unsurpassed in its line, is recorded at
the celebrated tin works, Swansea,
Wales. The iron from which the sheet
was rolled was worked in a finery with
charcoal and the usual blast afterward
taken to tho hammer to be formed in
to a regular Hat bottom, thence con
veyed to the balling furnace, and
when sufficiently heated taken up to
tho rolls, lengthened, and cut by
shears into proper lengths, piled up,
and transferred to tho balling furnace
again. When heated it was passed
through the rolls, back again into the
balling furnace, and when duly
brought to tho proper pitch taken to
the rolls and made into a thorough
good bar. Subsequently, at tho tin
mills, it was rolled till it was supposed
to be thinner than twenty-three grains,
afterward passed through the cold rolls
to insure the necessary polish, the re
tmlt being tho thinuest sheet of iroD
ever rolled ; that is, the sheet was ten
by live and one-half inches, or fifty
fivo inches in surface, of only twenty
grains weight, which, being brought to
the standard of eight by live and one
half inches, or forty-four surface
inches, is but sixteen grains, or thirty
per cent, less than previous attempts,
at least 4900 being required to make
one inch in thickness. New York

Tho oid saying : "A groen Christmas
makes a fat graveyar" is nfton verilloj, and
it further says, that the year will bring forth
much sickness, wherein pains and aches,
rheumatic complaints, soreness of joints and
linibp will abound. In tho olden times there
were few preventives for p:iiii, fow cures for
complaints. It is not so now. Even old
Santa Clans ha learned a thinif or two. In
many a Christmas stocking was found a bot
tle of St. Jacobs Oil, tho best known, surest
remedy for all such troubles. All years have
their prophesies, and no year is without its
record of surprising cures wrought by this
wonderful medicine.

HOW TO FEED MEAX. TO A COW.
The best way to feed meal to a cow
is to cut hay and wet it only as much
as to make the meal adhere to it, and
mix this with it, adding a small hand
ful of salt with each feed. The meal
is then more completely digested than
if it were given by itself, in which
case it is apt to pass on to the third
stomach and miss the rumination,
which is necessary to the perfect di
gestion of a cow's food. Five pounds
of cut hay and three quarts of corn
tneal will make a full single feed for a
cow giving ten or twelve quarts of
milk a day. It is not desirable to try
to feed a cow for milk and fat both, as
the food is then apt to be diverted to
fat only, and the miik may decrease
in any but a specially-gifted butter
or milk animal. Some cows Avill shrink
in milk as soon as they are fed dry
meal or shorts, and turn the food to
flesh and fat. Such a cow is not profit
able in a dairy. The best milk and
butter cow is one that is not easily
fattened, but turns the food to these
most-desired products, and keeps thin
aslongasbhe is milking. New York
Times.
HOTBED MAKIN'O.
The work of selecting the place for
the hotbed and cold-frames for start
ing early seeds should not be post
poned any longer. It takes some time
to make the beds and fill them with
the right soil. The farmer who does
not make use of frames for starting
his garden vegetables ought not be
classed among progressive farmers.
The seasons are too short for us to wait
until spring before sowing our seeds.
By the time the ground is ready for
sowing our garden plants are several
inches high, and by transplanting them
from the frames to the open ground
we save a month or more. In this
way raising two good crops in one sea
son on one piece of ground is made
easy. The early plants are also the
ones that bring the most money, and
those raised in the frames always bring
in more returns to the farmer than the
ones sown in the open ground during
April and May. Many prefer the
plants grown in frames first to those
planted later in the field, as they have
stronger roots and stalks, making it
possible for them to resist dry weather.
The hotbeds should be constructed
right away, for there are some slow
germinating seeds that ought to be put
:.u the ground very early. It takes
time to gather and mix the right soil
for the beds, and there will be many
days when the ground will be frozen
too hard to dig any soil for the beds.
New York Independent.
WATER-CRESS CULTIVATION.
In answer to inquiries, the Farmers'
Voice gives the following directions
for growing water-cress: Water-cress
requires a clear running stream and a
gravelly soil. The roots should be
planted in the spring of the year in
slow-running streams, where the water
is from three to eight inches deep.
When the roots are well established
the plants will rapidly increase, and,
by their natural process of seed-sowing
and spreading of the root-:, they
will soon cover the surface of the
stream. When planted the rows
should be planted with the course of
the stream and about eighteen inches
apart. The plants should always be
cut, not broken off, as breaking them
off is injurious to the plants. After
they have been cut off two or three
times they will begin to stock out or
thicken out, and then the oftener they
are cut the better. When raised from
seeds they should be sown on the mar
gin of the stream, and when of suitable
size transplanted into it, where it is
an inch and a half or two deep. The
most suitable time for sowing is in the
months of April, May and June. There
are said to be three varieties of water
cress namely : the green-leaved,
which is considered to be the easiest to
cultivate ; the small brown-leaved,
which is thought to be the hardiest,
and the large brown-leaved, which is
said to be the best for deep water.
SMALL FKOTS.
Now it is time to apply manure to
blackberries, currants, raspberries and
other small fruits. It should be scat
tered broadcast at the roots of these
plants, which should run over consid
erable territory. Autumn and winter
are the most favorable seasons for
spreading the manure, since the rains
and snows of winter can distribute the
fertility through every portion of the
soil much more cheaply and effectively
than man can with the best of tools
for the purpose. With the so-called
hardy varieties of fruits winter pro
tection, even in quite northern lati
tudes, does not appear very general,
and yet, without doubt, this is the
true plan.
If cultivators could but see how
their crops are oftentimes diminished
by severe winters, even when plants
are not killed outright by the changes
of temperature, protaction would
more regularly be given. It is quite a
simple thing to cover the roots of
plants several inches deep with leaves
or hay just after the ground has begun
to freeze, and thus prevent the alter
nate freezing and thawing which prove
so injurious. In addition, raspberry
vines should be bent down and cov
ered partially at least. Winter winds
harm the canes to a considerable ex
tent. Opportunity is offered to establish
new plantations until the ground
freezes and puts an end to such opera
tions. In transplanting remove fully
one-half the canes and set out well in
mellowed soil ; cover with deep mulch
and protect the entire plants as well as
possible. If spring work will not be
too pressing the plant may be secured
now and "heeled in" to be in readi
ness for setting early next spring.
Really spring is a better season for
transplanting than fall. Prairie
Farmer.
GREEN FEED AND PURE AIR FOR rOULTRT.
It should never be forgotten that
poultry need some kind ol green food
at all seasons of the year. In winter
there can be given them cabbages,
chopped onions, or turnips, occasion
ally varying this diet with short late
dried hay. Poultry also relish corn
stalk leaves, if chopped fine. In the
early spring time, when the ground
first softens from the frost, grain and
other seeds should be thrown into the
pens, and unless they are kept in the
open, they should have a plentiful
supply of it daily. For young chick
ens, nothing is 6o beneficial and so
gateful as a run upon newly-grown
grass. Grass torn up by the roots is
eaten by hens, it is true, but not with
that advantage or relish as when tbey
can pluck it standing. Some poultry
keepers sprout oats in boxes of earth
and allow their birds to eat off the soft
shoots. Rutabagas and carrots are
excellent winter feeds, and about the
cheapest to be obtained. It may be
that the fowls will not take to them in
a raw state ; if so, the roots may be
cooked, mashed, and mixed with bran
and meal. Next to a plentiful supply
of green food, ventilation is the most
important item to be considered in
keeping fowls healthy. More fowls
have perished for the want of perfect
ventilation than from any other cause.
One of the best and simplest plans to
let pure air into the poultry house is
to have a hole in the floor about six
inches wide and several feet long, anil
covered over with wire netting, which
is left open in summer and kept cov
ered up in winter. With a corre
uponding opening at the top, this will
admit the fresh air from the bottom,
and also allow all heavy gases to es
cape. It is the most perfect system
that can be devised for admitting pure
air to poultry houses, and it is, at the
same time, the cheapest and most
easily arranged. Sunlight, pure air,
and green food make poultry profit
able, but a lack of them brings disease
and consequent loss. American Agriculturist.
FARM AND OAKDEN NOTES.
Trotters have too much energy for
farm work.
Horses differ in intelligence almost
as much as men do.
Drive the colt the first time with a
fast-walking horse.
After choosing a place for the bee
stands do not change it.
A little drive every day aids the
development of young horses.
Don't neglect to replace the roll of
salt in each stall as soon as it is gone.
Italians produce a larger number of
bees than blacks, and so, indirectly,
more honey.
The French, stuff their fowls with
fresh butter before roasting them, and
baste them continually.
Fertilizers should be applied broad
cast around the trees and not in imme
diate contact with them.
To leave the bees a reasonable supply
of honey for the winter is better than
attempting to feed them.
Mat ng for the best results in vigor
:vnd fertility requires careful study
and practical observation.
The goose-raising English and Irish
counties are those with very thick
pastures with short grass.
Ducks should never be yarded with
other poultry, as they will pollute the
water and cause sickness.
If young pigs are allowed to run
with fattening hogs they will lay on
too much fat to grow well.
Feed and shelter the cows well this,
winter and you will be surprised at the
increased amount of butter.
The color of the shell is no indica
tion of the quality of tho egg, but
simply shows the breed of fowl.
Experience counts for a good deal
in managing poultry. It is on the
little details that success depends.
Sell from the young stock, and do
not sacrifice fowls and turkeys which
have proved satisfactory, unless very
old.
Give the fowls all the skim milk
and buttermilk you can spare. They
will return it to you in the form of
eggs.
Rolling or hilly land is the best situ
ation for the poultry -house. Sandy
and gravelly soils are also to be pre
ferred. The more familiar a man becomes
with h's orchard and other trees the
more quickly will he observe their
wants.
Cocks should not be kept in the pen
with the layers, as an egg-producing
diet will fatten them and ruin them ae
breeders.
The Dorking is the most popular
fowl in England. There are three
varieties the colored, the silver-gray
and the white.
The moth miller is a much to bo
dreaded enemy of the bees, but if the
stock is kept strong they will not
allow it to deposit its eggs on the
comb.
It pays to keep the best stock of
bees, as well as other good stock on
the farm, and by careful selection
great improvement is possible.
It doesn't pay to keep a cow for the
chance of a calf alon Corn and grass
are milk producers. Butter and chees

enable them to appear at court. Up
to 1850 they received handsome rev
enues from entailed estates in Mexico,
but the estates were seized by the
Mexican Government and for forty
three years they have not derived a
penny from property to which, as heir?

STUDENTS KILLED.
The Fatal End of 11 Sleigh Ride at
Fall Hiver.
A sleighing parly made up of twenty-oight
members of the sophomore class of tho E.
M. C. Durfee High Schoo'.. Fall River, Mass.,
returned from a two hours' ride, was run
down by a train within half a mile of home
at the Brownell street grade crossing of
the New York, New Haven and 11-irtford
Railroad, and three of them killed.
Tho accident occurred at 4.45 o'clock
p. m. When tho pole horses of the
sleigh reached the track tho Boston train
hove in sight around a bend. It was rush
ing along at a spoed of twenty-five miles
an hour. Timothy Connelly, the cross
ing tender, saw tho train simultaneously
with the driver. The latter jerked the reins
and succeeded in getting the horses and all
but two feet of the sleigh out of danger. The
sleigh was an old-fashioned affair, the seats
running lengthwise, the rear end hav
ing a lumber-cart tailboard. Everett
B. Durfee, a teacher in the
school .and in chnrgo of the
party, was sitting on a camp stool at theend
and on one side of him was Brooks Borden,
sixteen years old, son of Colonel Spencer
Borden, and on the other Ray Thornton,
seventeen years old, sou of Charles I. Thorn
ton. Orson Swift, tho seventeen-year-old
son of M. M. B. Swift, was .sitting in tho la;
of Henry Hawkins.
When the party saw the rushing train the
members became terror-stricken. Borden
and Thornton jumped over the tailboard and
were struck by the locomotive. Swift whs
preparing to jump when he, too, was struck.
Borden was hurled forty tet and was killed
instantly. Ray Thornton was dragged along
undertlie wheels 100 yards, his head and right
hand being severed Ironi bis body. Swift was
hurled twenty feet, .ind was breathing, but
unconscious, when picked up. He was taken
home in an ambulance, but died soon after
ho arrived there. Mr. Durfee jumped with
Clark Chase. Jr., when they saw the train,
and they escaped with slight bruises, tho
train passing between them and the sleigh.
Had all of the party remained in the
sleigh they might have escaped with in
juries more or less severe. The rear end of
the sleigh was damaged only slightly. Tho
three boys killed wcro lavorites in tho
school.

A Tigress Spares a I0.

lorg and three feet high.
On reaching Saigon, where he found
logs dirt cheap, he used to give his
et one of these animals every day.
Tho dog was thrown alivo into her
cage. She would play with it awhile
as a cat plays" with a mouse, then her
eyes would begin to glisten and her
tail to quiver ; she seized her prey by
the neck and in a minute or two it
was all up with poor "bow-wow."
One day, however, a puppy, seem
ingly in no way different from the
common herd of puppies, instead of
tamely submitting to his fate, showed
fight. It snapped at the tigress's nose
and bit it till the blood came. The
tigress, far from resenting the attack,
seemed to treat it as a joke, and when
the spirited little dog grew tired of the
fun tho tigress patted it as if it hail
been a cub of her own. Then tho two
lay down and had a comfortable nap.
Thenceforth they were the best of
friends, and to humor this queer
friendship Captain White had a small
hole cut in the tigress's cage, that the
puppy might go and come as it
pleased. It often took a trot abroad,
but it always returned to its dog-devouring
friend.
To test the extent of the tigress's
affection a strange dog was offered to
it one day at dinner time, and was
then hastily snatched from its hungry
jaws and the puppy friend thrown
into the cage. But friendship tri
umphed over the pangs of hunger

Creatures That Tumble Upward.
It is only reasonable to suppose
that tho ability to sustain this enor
mous pressure can only bo acquired
by animals after generations of grad
ual migrations from shallow waters.
Those forms that aro brought up by
tho dredge from tho depths of the
ocean aro usually killed and distorted
by tho enormous mid rapid diminu
tion of pressure in their journey to
the surface, and it is extremely prob
able that shallow water forms would
be similarly killed and crushed out of
ehapo were they suddenly plunged
into very deep water. Tho rinh that
live nt these enormous depths are, iu
consequence of tho enormous pres
sure, liable to a curious form of acci
dent. If, in chasing their prey or for
any other reason, they riso to a con
siderable distance above tho floor of
the ocean, tho gases of their swim
ming bladder become considerably ex
panded and their specific gravity very
greatly reduced. Up to a certain limit
the muscles of their bodies can coun
teract tho tendency to Hoat upward
and enable tho fish to regain its
proper sphero of life at tho bottom;
but beyond that limit tho muscles are
not strong enough to drive the body
downward, and tho fish, becoming
more and more distended as it goes,
is gradually killed on its long and in
voluntary journey to tho surface of
the sea. Tho deep-sea fish, then, are
exposed to a danger that no other ani
mals in this world nro subject to
namely, that of tumbling upward.
That such accidents do occasionally
occur is evidenced by tho fact that
