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.

nportance or I'slnc Proper Varieties
or Plant.
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.

Thomas Jefferson's Will.
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

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.

tant signirJcance in regard to the tbo:?
of Red. The average yield of pi'
the Southern Slates is 20 to -u-V'

the grain was nearly s pli'mp ''-

no doubt to the Southern w1'

the same occurs m the Xoitliern
