Most of the Washingtons now living in this country are descended from Geo. Waahhigton's brother, Samuel, who was married five times. A queei specimen in the shape of a double apple is exhibited at Huntington, Ind. It has two distinct stems and two blossom ends, though it is Crmly grown together as one apple. In the time of Charlemagne, whoever injured the widow was thought to have violated "the peace of the Ring." There was a special jurisdiction contitted in her behalf, justice was made easy for ber, and Ler complaints were always listened to. A Georgia farmer ha3 a goat that joins gleefully with a hound in bunting rabbits. When on the trail he imitates the d.igs, and tuds with his nosa to the giound, but when the quarry is in view up go head and tail, and he dashes after the uufortunate bunny iegardless of bis companions. The art of Egypt attained ita greatest elaboration, not indeed without some loss of national character, in the time of Alexander and the Ptolemies (352 to 30 B. C.,) when Hellenic influence broke through the somber massiveness of the unmembered walls and applied the brill iant decoration of colored columns to the exterior. According to an old belief, it was sup posed that devils could at any moment assume whatever form they pleased that would most conduce to the success of any contemplated enterprise which tbey might have in hand ; and hence the charge of being a devil, so commonly brought against innocent and .harmless persons in former years can easily be understood. Visitors to the Markisches museum, in P.erlin, are always attracted by a very curious collection of executioner's swords. In old times it was customary for these instruments o punishment to bear inscriptions, and most of the swords in the museum are thus inscribed. The oldest is nin ty-four centimetres (thirty Beven inches) in length, and six centi metres (two and two-fifths inches) in width, and it bears the inscription : "If thou act in the service of virtue, this eword shall not strike thee." The date is 1.124. John Law, of Edinburgh, Scotland, established a hank in France, in 1716, which by royal authority in 1719 became the rrceiver of the revenues of the kingdom. To it was attached a "Mis sissippi Company," which had grants of land in Louisiana, from the proceeds of the planting and the commerce of which immense profits were expected. Tbe shares of the bank soon rose to twenty times their par value, but fell suddenly in 1720. There was no bottom to the matter, and widespread financial ruin and distress followed the bursting of the scheme, which was known as "Law's Bubble." The Charter Oak. Thirty years ago, on August 21, 1S")0, the famous Charter Oak fell in a severe gal. This was the most famous tree in America, and one of the most celebrated objects in the history of this countr). Th liberal and priceless charter of the colony was hidden in its venerable trunk almost 200 years ago, and so escaped the efforts of Sir Edmund Andros to take it away, and dissolve the government which was maintained nnder it. Our charter of ltV.2, to which we aie Indebted for the welcome and enjoyable companionship of New Haven, in Con necticut, differed from that of Massa chusetts, in that no veto power was reserved in England, and the people were given freedom of action in the choice of officer and mauagement of their own affairs. When Andros was sent over in lGfiG to be Goverror of New England, he made demands for the surrender of this char ter, but failed to get it, and so he came after it. It is of interest to observe that be came from Massachusetts via Provi dence and New London, takiDg the Shore Line route to that point, but from there the Valley road, a younger enter prise, not having been constructed be struck across the country and came to Wethersfield and thence to Hartford. He was cordially received on the 31st of October. 1G7, and escorted to the city by "a troop of horse." The Governor's Guard did not turn out on tht occasion, partly because thpy were unwilling to welcome an intruder, Dd partly, no doubt principally. beeaup they weren't in existence until 1771. He came a century or so too soon. II was escorted to the meet Inir-house and after a stormy debate the charter was produced and 'aid upon the table. It was evening. Captain Joseph Wadsworth cut the wire that supplied the electric light, and be fore the connection could be made again be had the document ssfe in his arms, and was rushed Jowti Main street, in a bob-tail horse car, the driver of which refused for that trip onlv, to notice the calls of pedestrians for him to stop. Jumping off at Chatter Oak street, so named because the tree was growing close by there, he hid the charter in its ample recesses, and beat a retreat as well as Edmund Andros. Professor Itnvkleshy has estimated that the tree was 10X) years old when it fell. There are many specimens of it in existence. Mark Twain informed Gen. Grant that the East Hartford bridge is made of this wood. That, however, is a mistake. The largest quantity of the genuine tree is seen in the great chair of the Senate chamber at the Capitol, which is made entirely of the real wood. A few years ago there were f-pecimens in Blm.xt everv house in the city, but as the inrerest in the tree and i's history tins grown, the zal to preserve small p'cs h s apparently declined, perhaps because wood has ri.-en to 12 a cord hereabouts. The Andros usurpation became a mere iucider.t In our history. Had he secured the charter perhaps it might Lave been different.

One day I sat in a car seat on the Sus quehanna branch of the Eastern Road behind a pale, careworn lady who was taking a little boy from Boston to Mai den. As the little boy was of an inquir ing turn of mind and everything seemed to attract bis attention, I could not help listening to some of his questions. "What is that, auntie?" the little boy commenced, pointing to a stack of hay on the marsh. "On, that.s hay, my dear," answered the careworn lady. "What is hay, auntie?" "Why, hay is hay, dear." "But what is hay made of?" "Why, hay is made oi dirt and water and air. " "Who makes it?" 'God makes it, dear." 'Does he make it in the day time or at night?" "In both, dear." "On Sundays?" "Yes, all the time." "Ain't it wicked to make hay on Sun day?" "Oh, I don't know. I'd keep still. Willie; that's a dear. Auntie is tired." After remaining quiet a moment lit tle Willie brofce out : "Where do the stars come from aun tie?" "I don't know, nobody knows". "Did the moon lay 'em?" "Yes, I guess so," replied the wick ed lady. "Can the moon lay eggs, too?" "I suppose so. Uon't bother me." Another short silence when Willie broke out : "Benny says oxins is an owl, auntie ; is they?" "Oh, perhaps so I" "I think a whale could lay eggs don't you, auntie?" "Oh, yes I guess so," said the shame less woman. "Did you ever see a whale on his nest?" "Oh, I guess bo." "Where?" "I mean no. Willie you must be qui et ; I'm getting crazy." "What makes you crazy, auntie?" "Oh, dear 1 you ask so many ques tions." "Did you ever see a little fly eat sug ar?" "Yes, dear." "Where?" "Willie, sit down on the seat and be still or I'll shake you. 2sow, not anoth word." And the lady pointed her finger sharp ly at the little boy as if she was going to stick it through him. If she had not been a woman she would have sworn. I here are eight million little borm like Willie in the United States and half as many in England. Animals Doctoring Themselres. A French physician and savant says that arjimals are as good practitioners of medicine as a majority of the human species, and that in hygiene man may take a lesson from them. Elephants, stags, birds and ants wash or bathe themselves. Some arjimals get rid of parasites by the use of mud, dust or clay. Those Bufferirig from fever restrict their diet, keep quiet, seek darkness and airy places, drink water, and sometimes plunge into it. If a dog loses his appetite, he eats "dog grass." Sheep when ill seek out cer tain herbs, and puss always finds an emetic or a purgative in a certain spe cies of grass or herbs. When a dog is constipated, he eats fatty substances with avidity. An animal suffering with rheumatism keeps in the sun. The warrior ants have ambulance", and when an investigator cut the atten na? of an ant, other ants covered the wound with a transparent fluid. A wounded chimpanzee stops the bleeding of a wound by placing leaves and grass on it. A dog having been stung on the muz zle by a viper, plunged his head repeat edly for several days in running water, and recovered. A sporting dog was run over by a car rage. During three weeKs in winter he remained lying In a brook, where his food was taken to him, and he also re covered. j A terrier which had hurt his right I eye, remained lying under a counter, out S of the light and heat, although he had previously been in the habit of keeping j close to the fire. He rested, abstained from food, licked his paw and applied it to the wouuded eyt. The Man Who Bit Mamma. "I hate kids," he said. "Why?" "I think they ought to be locked up in asylums till they're old enough to take care of themselves. If it hadn't been for a kid well it might have been "What?" "I loved this kid's mother. She was a beautiful widow, and I was madly in love with her. I was actually contem- plating in fact, I had just got to the j point of putting the delicate question, j The kid was playing in the corner. For getting all about that, I fervently put my arms about the widow's waist and implanted a passionate kiss upon her lips, when the kid started up and rushed at me. "Don't you kill my mamma," and ran screaming into the kitchen calling for the servants. "That needn't have " "What? Marry a widow with a child like that? liut the worst came a few niehts after. I called at the house. There were several ladies there, and the kid was ei;,g pitted all around. Of course the widow wn9 all right., but ! that confounded child deliberately i turned her back I didn't mind that, but the mother, to be nice, said : I "You darling child, don't you kLow .

In serving lunches or tea, a well-bred hostess errs on "the side of plainness, rather thn on that of over munificence. t Mnch of the ordroary bother of ytash Ing lamp chimneys on the inside, can be eared by using a stick with a spoi.ge tied to the end. To clean painted woodwork, put a teaepoobful of ammonia in a quart of warm water, wash with a flannel cloth and wipe dry. In making starch add one teaspoonful of kerosene oil to each pint of starch. Il gives a fine gloss nd never smells ou any garment. When boiling any kind of meat, cab bage, onions, etc., pnt in a piece of red pepper the size of a five cent piece, to destroy the unpleasant odor. To take out scorch caused by using a too hot iron, lay the garment where the bright sunshine will fall directly upon it. It will take the scorch entirely oat. Have yon ever observed how much one tasty-looking, well-painted struct ure beside the house, even if it be only the poultry house, adds to the appear ance of a place. The greatest kindness you can do to a young chick is to simply leave it alone for the first twenty four hours of its ex istence. There will be little difficulty experienced in getting it to eat after ward. A good animal should be a heavy feeder. It has often been considered an advantage that an animal eat but little, but just the opposite should be desired. .It takes a liberal supply of food and a good appetite to derive the greatest amount of product. Do not feed a sow that has sucking pigs on too much dry food. She should have plenty of slop, but it should be rich and nutritious. A mixture of corn meal, ground oats and middlings re duced to a thin consistency with skim milk is a good mess. Farmers who have sown gypsum on strawberry plants to promote their vig or have met some disappointing results. The gypsum produced so large a growth of clover that it became almost Impos sible to keep the rows clean, and in some instances the bed bad to be aban dd. Catnip is one of the most valuable plants for bees. The flowers are rich in honey, and for several months, com mencing with June of each year, yield it at all hours and in every kind of weather. A patch may easily be raised from the seed, sown the latter part of summer or early in the spring. The circulation of sap, says the New Hampshire Mirror, is like tbe circula tion of the blood in the human body when the blood Is started from the stomach, where it is made. If the Wood is stopped before it reaches the lungs the blood becomes poisoned and produces disease. So with the potato vine, in which, if the sap be stopped, produces a disease called rust. D. A. Jones, of Beeton, Canada, uses chloroform in introducing queens. He is very successful, seldom losing a queen when introduced In that way. He puts a few drops of chloroform on a rag or sponge in the smoker, and giving a ftw puffs in at the entrance, stupefies them, and by the time the bees recover from their stupor they know nothing of what baa happened. No thrifty farmer will permit coarse weeds, thistles, briers or bushes of any kind to grow by the roadside adjoining his fields. Odo or two days' work each year for two or three years with a stout bush scythe will cause these unprofitable varieties of vegetation to give place to valuable grasses. Start the bush scythe at once where the weeds and bushes are found, and cut every one of them close to the ground. Charcoal is appreciated by fowls of all kinds. The very best Is found In charred grain. Corn roasted like coffee and fed once a day, would no doubt pay for the trouble in the increased product of eggs. In fattening the pro cess is much hastened by its nse, and we think the meat mnch more palatable. There are many epicures who would willingly pay a larger price for poultry rattened by the use of charred corn. The Hessian fly has been attacking corn In England crops that It has heretofore let alone in that country. The ravages of the Insect (cecidomyia destructor) In this country were first no ticed in 1776, and, as It was supposed that It was Introduced from Germany In straw with the Hessian troops dur ing the American war, it was called the "nessian fly." and It was affirmed to be "more formidable than an army of 20, 000 Hessians." If the pigs are on clover they will need no food except at night, and al though they may not fatten very fast, they will grow rapidly. The night's meal, however, should be composed of ground oats, roar parts (by weight); cornmeal, one port; middlings, three parts ; bran, two parts ; linseed meal, one part, with a little salt. Feed It as slop, with skim milk, and if milk is not procurable scald the mixture, and give each pig all it can eat. Look ont for the "black knot" on the plum and cherry trees, says the Farm Jovrnal. These knots are caused by vegetable parasite called "Sphiia Mor boea." It develops from spores which are wafted about by the wiad. No tree in the orchard is safe where one is af fected. When once attacked it does not take long for the whole tree to be come useless. The only remedy for this evil is to cut off all the affected branch es and burn them. Nothing short of burning will kill the parasite. Mr. II. B. Gurler, the eminent dairy man, says the Prairte Farmer, in an ad vocate of winter dairying. He claims that by changing from summer to win ter dairying he has raised the average net profit on forty cows from $15 to $40 per head. His winter ration is early cut clover and timcthy, with t-qnal parts by measure of wheat bran and corn meal. One winter his milk sud denly shrank from 855 to 720 pounds, and on ascertaining the cause he found that late had been substituted for early cat bay.

Anarchism in this country' &t least in that form that has . outwardly fmaoifest. ii not a Jct.' meDt of any condition exlstirg tere, tt j is not in fact indigenous at all. i (1 foreign importation, and lhecauje8 t't,t have brought about its developm n those countries from which we nnhappily obtained it, are social rvi,, tbao :religious, and have no re!a;;oa whatever to assaults of Ingersoil r.d the agnostic orators upon MoasaDd it, prophets. Probably of the pro?eisj ,r"j outspoken anarchists, not more than on in a hundred has any knowledge ever of these apost'es of inDdlity, or ta idea of the dictrinei they promu'ga? The ineligious cbaracteriftic of ib foreign-born anarchist spring from a altogether different root. Still, the propositionlfof tLt;Uji(.Bj3 preacher. It we take U ln a "mod sense, is worth serious thoueLt. Al to' tbe promulgation of atheistic and ar..!. Christian doctrines has ctrtaiLlj o.-,t developed the anarchists, as mt. ih.jn) them, yet it is worth while seriocsly to inquire to what extent the spr.,(3 of ucb ideas, and their popularizatiou by sach orators as Ingersoll, may produce cori1. tions that will brirg forth a crcv of native auarchism more dargerous lt2 the imported variety. The acsrcli'U with their destructive social tteor!i are here ; aod, as the worst weeji anj poisonous plants Tound in ibis 0001:7 are foreign importation tLal fuued hfri a fertile and weil-adapted soil whersla tbey grew all the more vigorons'y, anl spread all the more rap!d!y, may i E0j be that in weakening the mon! ape, 0 responsibility that comes from a belief in God and the moral accountability of all men to Him arjd;llis law, the a'.ts 'stic and agnostic apostles are re f ariig a fertile soil for tbe spread of the rcTjt baleful social growth of modem tirces All atheists are not anarchists, tut i. is not going too far to ssy that all anar chists are atheists. The seven men 1 . Chicago condemned to die for csrryiit their anarchical theories into practi?. one and all refuse any consolations .f religion, and avow that tbpy bare 3 religious belief whatever. TIifv dor believe in God. They do not brv( that there is any law of r iral accnur,' bility, or that there is any rfsivrsib! in human action beyond the iccrted 'a consequences of the act. Tbey do r-t conceive that there is any moral govern ment in the universe ; that there i? srj basis for moral actions; that tier i law higher than self-interest, or V. there is any other motive ttan n selfish interest. They are typirV f their class. As thev b-elievs so ti h ; the anarchist. Tbey are atheists pure and simple. Tbe denial of moral pun and moral responsibility Is the startlr? point of their vicious theories. If there is no divine law, why should there be any human law? If there is no respon sibility to God, why should there b to man ? If the beginning and er 3 0! human endeavor is bumD self-ir.'er-t, why should ibere be any restrfcir;' urn human action ? If there is no G d. lo moral government, no moral re?! r.!: bility, no life to come, there i no hw, no.need of law, no respect for law izi order, and society dissolves in cl.as.
