The Flowery Kingdom' "florals. Taking into consideration the millions and millions of people who Inhabit the Flowery Kingdom, people often wonder why so few crimes are committed in the Empire, and why people live each quiet, neighborly I ires. Tetty thieving is the most common cffnse, bat the culprit seldom repeats the crime if caught the first or second time. Highway robbery is never repeated if the highwayman is caught, because it needs a head to plan such things, and once In the clutches of the Emperor's magistrate the bad man's head is taken away from him pretty Quick. This is what makes crime so unpopular in China. So that our readers may know how the various offences, so lightly pun ished in the United States, are treated In China some of the most common crimes are given, together with the pen alty that follows discovery as surely as the sun follows the moon. For the first offense of petit larceoy. the culprit receives fifty lashes on the bate back with a bamboo rod, Ave feet long and five inches wide. For tbe second offence te gets 100 lashes, and a wooden collar weighing 100 pounds is putaroucd his neck. This he must wear ninety days and ninety nights The wearer cannot seclude himself, but must calls upon his friends and walk in thfi streets. This Is compulsory. For all future offenses the penalty increases at the above rate until the prisoner is reformed. In simple assault and battery cases the plaintiff mast prove irijury by show. ing blood, otherwise he will be "spark ed" for making trivial complain??. For breaking a head the penalty is aim ilar t j that for petit larceny, and for maiming it Is life Imprisonment. If the prisoner is rich he can escape im prisonment by transferring as much of his wealth to the injured man as would sacore him a life competence without WO k. In all c; ses bail is not accepted. except from men of great literary at tainments, or degreed scholars of local or national reputation. These men eel dom give bail in criminal cases, unles9 they are satisfied of the prisoner's inno cence, and then it is equal to an honor able acquittal. An appeal for pardon on behalf of any criminal mutt be made through men of education holding diplomas from the various colleges. In this wav the wishes ot the people reach the throne. For mischief-making or blackmail the offender's mouth is "spanked" so Lard that he cannot use it for jotio time, Women are the principal recipients of this punishment. Any kind of highway robbery is punished by cutting off Ifce bead of the offender, while forcible en trance with intent to do injury to pernoo or property la punished ty exile. Under no circumstau es will the scribes, or silent lawyers, ot Chiua allow their names to le known in courts, the duty of the judges being to tied out for themselves who is light and who is wrong. No matter if he it a lawyer or not, any man who aids another to evade the law la guilty of treasou. Io all cases plaintiff and defendants plead their own causes. Attacked by Squirrels. J. L. Culbertson, of Edwardpport, Iod., relates his experience in 1SG4, the time of the great migration of rquir rels from the Eistto tbe Wesr. H was a yonrf mm then, and on day took his ritle and went about a mile from town to hunt. IIi was going through the v. oJs when he met the army ot squirrels. They became so thick around him and seemed so fear less that he stood in amazement. Fin ally he struck one with a etick. The squirrel uttered a sharp squeak, atid in etantly myriads ot squirrels from all di rections rushed to the defense or their associates and attacked Mr. Culbertson, who kicked them off and clubbed at them with his gun. They climbed up his lees, jumped upon his back and ou the top of bis head. I"e fought des perately, but th) more he succeeded in hurting them the louder tbe chattering and screaming around him became, which only brought greater numbers of the infuriated little animals to the at tack. They bit his legs acd arms and gashed his face and neck acd lacerated his hands, fairly scrambling over each other in their assault. lie dropped hU gun and retreated as fast as he could. Blood streamed down his face and neck and hands. lie got out ot the woods, and still scoies followed bim and clung .ohlra until they were pulled off by men in a store into which he rushed fur assistance. Food for Thought. Nearly all great men have had re markable memrries. There are some things that silence alone can answer. Small ideas and large words make a piinful combination. It is mind, soul and heart not taste or art that makes men great. Polite less Is the distinctive attribute of the gentleman , rudeness of the boor. The end of man Is an action and not a thought, though it were the noblest. One may live like a conqueror, a king, a magistrate, bus he must die as man. One good act done to day Is worth a thousand in contemplation for some fu ture lime. The (lowers streved on the gravj of merit are the most grateful incense to living merit. A man lives by relieving something, not by debiting and arguing about many thing. The poorest education that teaches 83lf control is better than the b.s. that neglects it. Learn to think and act for yourself, lie vigilant. Keep ahead of rather than behind tbe time. Ob, What a loath. Will you heed the warning.

Some plants will thrive nnder condi tions tbat are entirely unfavorable to others, and yet failures occur every sea son by a non-obaerraoceof tbe plaln.'aw of nature tbat is daily made known to farmers and fruit-growers tbat more than a ainzle favorable condition is ne cessary to perfection. At a meeting of horticulturists a vote was taken to de-r clde which was tbe "best variety," and tbe ballots showed a result that was surprising-, as each leading variety of the grape family had friends ready to advocate its merits. It is also well known that there is no "best straw berry," or, at least, there is no variety ( that would not find a rival ready to dis pute its claims of excellence represen ted by its friends. Nevertheless, while th-re may be no "beat" variety of any single vegetable or fruit, yet there are hundreds of best varieties when each and all are judged from certain stand points. The climate has more to do with tbe success of any particular varietr than has anything else, but tbe climate only influences tbe variety to a certain ex tent, for tbe soil must then be consider ed, and then follows tbe time required for maturtiy, the plant food best adapt- ted to the variety, the amount of pruning it requires, the liability to tbe attacks of diseases and insects, tbe quality of the fruit, its appearance in market. Its shipping qualities, and tbe labor required for cultivation. As It is seldom that any two fik!s (adjoining or otherwise) are of tbe same degree of fertility, 01 alik in character of soil or capacity to endure drought, the select ing of the proper variety for the partic ular locality is a very important matter, and can only be Cone intelligently by comparison, which requires more time than most fruit growers can afford to bestow. But tbat should not deter the farmer or fruit grower from carefully observing- the progress of all plants grown in his section and endeavoring to select as closely as possible to the standard required. He should at least never discard an old variety that has given partial satis faction for something new unless be shon!d be certain the change would be advantageous. Fortunately, there are a large nn ruber of varieties of all plants from which to select, which tha ex perienced grower will use to the best purpose, but which, unfortunately for some, are rather confusing. 3ot if the climate and soil be Qrst considered the other essentials will not be so difficult to contend with. "What the grower should not do. however, is to attempt to ignore variety altogether and place his dependence on anything tbat may seem to serve the purpose yet which miy be the very one be ehould discard Tbe Iiegpar of Koine. One picturesque character is generally lackiDg from tbe bill top tbe bepgar. Dirty ami charm'.rjjj as he may be. be is relegated to one Pincio approaches tbe Spanish steps, and the piazza at the summit, where bis progeny especially tbe Xettcnese from tbe Canipagna, warm to heart's content. Ah, bat isn't be a beanty of a beggar? be or she. but especially, for the Spinish steps' people are of the beggar upper ten, and take up such a menial ocupa- tion only when tbeir regular trade as mode! beomes slack, or when the only other allowable calling in comport with tbeir dignity becomes uopnritable tha or flower selling. But who, I say, can refuse those great liquid brown ejes ol a soldo, even if he doesn't want a bunch of violets, and who anyway can refuse to look at the superb coloring of tbe campaganeae costumes as tbe models throw themselves into the abandonment of a thousand unstudied postures on the steps. They are bonester, too, this motley crowd, than some who aren't beggars. A Utile ragamuffin of them who takes a likiDg to you wiU often come runricg up to you with bis buttohole bouquet and, deftly sticking ll in. will be off in a jiffy. Astonished Indeed you are tbe first lime this extraordinary occurence takes place. By and by, repeated ex periences show you that it is an embul litiOD of gratitude on the put of little Giullo or Giovanni for sundry coppers which from time to time you've tossed him. He'll be be glad of future toss Iors, too, for begging ha no elements of disgrace here, but as pay for bis free gift never! Hence, joy and woe to b!m who, dailv passing that way, comes to know and fancy any of the models. Ilia stock of small change will some bow grow beautifully less, but be will revel in the free nature of color and form and gracious manner, which one may find at all times, like wild yet clus tering flower clinging to those sunnied steps. Fish Lulag io Hot Water. There is a pond on the Lay ranch at Golconda. which is fed by tbe waters from the Lot springs. This pnd has n area of two or three acres, aod the temperature of the water is about eighty five degrees, and in some places where the hot water bubbles up from tbe bottom tbe temperatute Is almost up lo the boiling point. Recently tbe discovery has been made that this warm lake is literally alive with carp, acme of which are more than a foot long. All efforts to catch them with a book and lice have failed, as tbey will net touch the most tempting bAiU A few of them bave been ehot. and. contrary to tbe general supposition, tha fleet, was hard and platable. How tbe fish got into the lake is a myatery unsolved. Within 100 feet of it are springs which are boiling hot, and tbe ranchers ia tbe vicinity use tbe water to scald bogs in tbe butchering season. :rrpala aad UvcrCeaiplaini.

Among the old records atored away in the vault at tbe District bnildinsr is a copy of the will of Thomas Jefferson, filed io tbe archives of the District years ago. so long that no one connect ed with the District government to-day knows the purpose for which it ws on record there. This old document is dated March 16. 1820. It bequeaths to his srandson, Francis Uppes, land at Poplar Forest, and subjects all his oth er property first to the payment of the debts of the decased. In consideration of tbe insolvent state of the affairs of bis son-in-law, Thomas Mann Ran dolph, he leaves the residue of his prop erty in trust for bis daughter, Martha Randolph, to become hers absolutely at tbe death of Thomas Mann Randolph. This course, tbe will explains, is taken to secure the property against the claims of Mr. Randolph's creditors. A codicil attached on tbe following day recommended to his daughter, Martha Randolph, the maintenance and care of his well beloved sister. Annie Scott Marks ; gave to bis friend, James Madison, of Montpelier, bis gold mounted walking stick of animal horn, "as a token of tbe cordial and affec tionate friendship which for nearly now a half century has united us in the same principles and pursuits of what we have deemed for tbe greatest good of our country." He gave to tbe Uni versity of Virginia such books in bis library as the university bad not already copies of, and the remainder to his two grandsons in-law, Nicholas P. Trist and Joseph Ccolidge. To his grand son, Thomas Jrfferson Randolph, be gave his silver watch in preference to bis good one because of its superior ex cellence, and also all his literary papers. He provided also for tbe purchase of a gold watch for each of his grandsons. "I give," continues the will "to my good, affectionate and faithful servant. Burwell, his freedom and the sum o $300 to buy necessaries to commence his trade of painter and glazing or to use otherwise as he pleases. I also give to my eood servants, John Henning- and Joe Fessct, tbeir freedom at the end of one year after my death, and to eaeh of them respectively all the tools of their respective shops or callings and it is my will that a comfortable log house be built for each of the three servants so emancipated on some part of my lands convenient to them wich respect to the reidenoeof their wives and to Char lottesville and the university, where they will be mostly employed, and reas onably convenient also to the interests of the proprietor of the lantfs, of which bouses I give tbe use of oa(. with a cur tilage of an acre to each during his life or personal occupation thereof. I give also to John Hennine the services of his two apprentices, Madison and Eston Hencings, until their respective ages of twenty-one years, at wtich period re spectively I give them their freedom And I humbly and earnestly request of tbe Legislature of Virginia a confirma tion of tbe bequest of freedom to these two servants, with permission to re main in this State, where their fami lies and connections are, as an addi tional instance of the favor of which I have received so many other manifesta tions in tbe course of my life and for which I now give them my last solemn and dutiful thanks." The will bears a certificate, showing that August 7, 1820, ft was proved in the Court of Albemarle county, Va., and ordered to be recorded. Hang up These Aphorisms. Farm animals are hurt more by med icines than by tbe lack of it. When an animal needs medicine, it needs a com petent physician. Pore water and a variety of whole some food regularly (riven, with com fortable shelter and kind treatment, are the best preventives of disease. A mortgage on the home makes the fire side gloomy, for it shuts out the sunshine of prosperty and f reehearted ness. Some men look at the sky only to fore cast the weather, see more beauty in a dollar than in a bed of flowers, and will hear the crow in a cornfield quicker than the lark in the air. Better is it to have one pair of trous ers with money in tbe pockets, than two pair with emp'y pockets. The horse knows all tbat the colt learned and boys tormenting the colt are not teaching it what it should know. System worked ten hours a day. and was done. Haphazard got up at four is tbe morning, hurried all day, and was doing the chores at half-past nine at night. Job had patience : yet it was fortun ate for him that be did not join fences with a neighbor who kept breacby stock. The man who fills bis icehouse pro vides himself with a conservator of hea'.th, and a servant of pleasure. What is said about keeping anima!s warm during the winter, does not ap ply to manure. Smoking is as injur ious to the compost heap as to boys. Heal Value or Money. It requires some ability to get mouey in this world : but, after oil it requires less ability to get money than it does to use it. More wisdom and skill are shown in tbe using of money than in its accumulating. There are men of large wealth who do not know how to use their money either for their own hap piness or for tbe good of tbeir fellows. There are other men who show no ac cumulation of riches, Bim ply became Ihey bave used their money wisely all tbe way along in life instead of hoard ing it. There are yet ether men who have wealth, and who know how to use it ; and there are still ottere who aie always without money because they have never yet known what to do with mocey when tbev bad it. Money is val uable only for its using. He who does not give tbe wise use ot money the first place in all bis thoughts of money getting or of money-haying does uot kuow tbe worth of money ; and it mat ters not whether he has much or little of it.
