An Atlrentiirc with a Widow. I have no doubt at all bat tley'ra a good institution in ttinir way, and just a necessary as de.t'.h and taxes but I'll take mine with out 'cm hereafttr. for all th.it. 1 mean widows. You see, I alwpys h -J :t secret horror of a mother iii-law and and a widow. This ia how it whs : I was traveling frcai Atlanta to Smithville not long ago. and it so hap pened that a lone widow and myself were left the only occupants of tho first class coach half way between Macon and Smithville. I saw at once that sho wai a widow by the look she gave me, and would have retired peacefully to the steeping car but for the fact that it wad crowded and net a aat wad available. .Site knew that she hud me, and was not long it. luitlng one know it. "It's awful traveling alone, sir." "I don't rind bo, madam," I said, raiding up the window and looking out. "No ; because you're not a poor wid- der like I am that's why. I'loaae let down that window ; the draft will kill me." "I wish it would," I muttered, as the window came down with a bang. But she oyer overheard me. "Oh, be wants to kill me ! Conduct or 1 Conductor !" The conductor came running in. lie shook me roughly by the arm. "See here, now I i'l'une of your in suits to a defenseless woman. You'll not kill anybody oc my train. I'll have have you arrested at the next station we arrive at. "He's hurt my affections," sobbed the widow. "I'll make him pay for it," said the conductor. "A poor lone widow," she cried. It was in vain 1 sought to explain. got off the train at the next station and lay low and kept daik for two dajs and then I crawled out and sneaked home, a sadder but wiser man. UretLern, no more widder3 in mine, Tale of a Tet FIsu. Three months ago B. F. Malono of Harlem was wandering through Fulton Market and saw a basket full of live crawlLih. The thought occurred to him that it would be a good plan to buy one and mke a pot of it. Mr. JIalone par chased a crustacean, and tells this story Btory of it : "I took It home and placed it in a tub. It soon Decame very tame aud among other peculiarities I discovered it was fond of music. Whenever "Yru kee Doodia" was played on the piano or whistled the crawiish, when held by the back, using Its large claw as a ba ton, would keep perfect time, and its legs would move with the rapidity of a jig dancer, folio a ing the music as long ao it lasted. "One of the most difficult things to teach it," continued Mr. Maloue, "was the trick of writing its own name. A penholder would La placed in its claw, and by moving it back and forth over a sheet of pa per the trick was accom plished. After a mouth of this it seem ed to understand just what was wanted of it, aud it finally succeed in writing its name intelligently. It was interest ing to study the full when asleep. It woulJ fold its largo claw under its head, cnrl itself iuto a ball with its small claw extended. In this position it would remain for an hour after a banquet of angle worms. "The oilier day the cr.iwD-.li met an nnexpectbd death. Judge Welde had ppent a day Cshi-g, and among other fish caught a three-foot eel. This he nresanted alire to me. I placed the live Colin the tub crawQ.ih. Th little fellow resented this, and caught the eel with his larg9 claw by the tall, TuBtantly there was a email-sized war. The eel wound iladf around the craw, fish and crushed its I'u'e out ; then it leisurely tore away the stony overcoat and feasted on the remains." Jool Advice L'romptly Followed. In days gone by few Southern lawyers were more distinguished than Luther Martin. lie was one da; riding to An napolis In n stage coach, when his only companion a youug ra in wlo had just been adxitted to the Bar addressing him, said : "Mr. Martin, you have been wonder fully successful ia your profession. Are you willing to acquaint me with tho se cret of your success?" "If you will ray my expenses during the few days I shall remain ia An napolis." "I will," was the earnest response. "It is In this advice : Deny every thing and ir.sist on pro of." At Annapolis Mr, Xartin enjoyed all the luxuries that a Gee hotel could fur nish, regardlsa of expense, and, when tho time for his ceparture arrived, passed the "bill" of enormous propor tions to the young lawyer, who was standing near. Tho latter merely glanced at U, ad then returned it to Mr. Martin. "Aren't you goin to pay it?" Mr. Maitin asked. "Fay what?" "This bill. Didn't you promise to defray my expenses while I was in An aapol:s?" "My duar sir," was the quiet reply, "1 d?nv everything and insist upon proor." The eminent lawyer paid his bill and laughlnglv said to the young man : "You need no further counsel from xne." One part cottonseed meal to four parts bran, or mixed grouud grain, is a proper proportion of each for cows that are in full llow cf milk. .Should too much be given It is liable to cause scours. Should this be the case simply withhold the cottonseed meal for a few days and legia ila use gradually. lj "Pl U I.Iyer (omplalil.

Many people at the South do net ap preciate the value of what is known as the Lima or butler bean. There are three varieties of the Lima bean the small, the large and Dreer's Improved. The last named produces beans much larger than the small variety, but ia less productive, aud does not continue bear ing throughout the season in the South as does tLe small variaty. The large Lima has teen superseded by Dreer'a Improved, but the small white Lima, commonly kno wn as the butter bean, is the one most generally cultivated in the cotton States, where it is subject to the attack of no insect enemy, is out depredated upon by poultry, and affords a delicious dish for table use, either as green or dry shelled bean. It is a uni versal occupant of the Southern gardens for use in summer while green, but few have as yet realized its yalue for win ter use, as a dry beaa. It is more easily produced, and more easily preserved than any other species grown in the South. It ts considered by some superior to the celebrated Tar kee" or "navy bean ;" at any rate it is a perfect substitute for that famous variety. The only difficulty about growlL? this bean is the fact that It needs a support upon which to climb. This support may be most cheaply fur nished by using tall growing varieties of corn. The bean may be planted In rows of coru. and occupy the stalks un til gathered. We feel satisfied that they could be grown with pro5t anywhere in the Soufh. Unlike the other varieties of beans, no weevil attacks It, and hence there is no difficulty in preserving them through the winter. They should be prepared for cooking by soaking in wa ter 12 hours previous to boiling. They may, however, be cooked without pre vious soaking, but more time will be required in boiling. They are found on the market, but are not grown in suffi cient quantity to place them within reach of the multitude. The supply being small, the price puts them out of reach of the majority of families. This is a crop that should bo largely grown in the South for winter use to supply home necessities. Iiuuiorous.

Some very interesting statistics re specting the rate of the French troops statiored in the diffierent colonies have juat beeu supplied to the Academy of Science by Dr. Lagneau, says a Paris Correspondent. The mortality of the 6oilders in the mother country averages from 9 to 11 per 1,000. In Algeria it ranges from 11 to 12 per 1,000, and in Tunis it is merely a fraction higher. In Cochin, China, however, the death rate doubles, and at -Fondicherry it trebles the normal rate In France ; while in Tonquin in ISSo it attained the figure of 96 per 1,000 ; nor is ibis all, for many soldiers sent home invalided either die on the jonrney or after Frsnce has been reacehd. Senegal and Guiana are extremely unhealthy colo nies. In the former the mortality among the troops averages 73 per 1,000, while in the latter in bad years it Las attained the terrible figure of 257 per 1,000. In Reunion, where the mean death Is 29 per 1,000, it rose during the Madagascar expedition to 113 per 1,000. On the other band. Otaheite and New , Caledonia are even more healthy than the mother country, the mortality being estimated at only 8 to 9 per 1,000. Man and ature Kan Wild. The intertribal massacres which have taken place lately in the Solomon group of islands, have been the most horrible of their kind. The schooner Enter prise reports that fighting is rife on sev eral Islands of the group. Thirty men, women and children were massacred dur'egone onslaught in a single vil lage. The coast tribes were making raids inland and capturing many wom en and families. Cannibalism sill con tinues to be popular. The captured men are cut ud and their flesh is thus disposed of, and the women and children are sold as slaves. The copra trade with the islands is be ing ruined, in consequence. During a heavy thunderstorm on the of February 5, a water-spout burst near the Iluga River In Victoria, Australia, doing im mense damage. The houses and a woman were carried away.

Electric power is said to be of more commercial importance than electric ligbt. German servants bare discovered that tbe adult male heart is larger than the female.

The movement of glaciers in Summer is found to be four times that made in the "Winter. One ton of coal is capable of yielding 1 an account of force equivalent to that of six and two-thirds men.

We have now a real nndulatory the ory of ligbt, no longer based on analogy with sound, and its inception and early development are among the most tre mendous of the many achievements of the latter century. Out of some 10,000 species of birds recognized by ornithologists there are 859 species and sub-species which make their home in North America. Thpre are also eighty-two other which find their way to this continent as stragglers from other countries. Superheated water which betrays Its existence through thermal springs and volcanic exhalations is slowly and si lently engendering considerable and per manent effects in the interior of the globe, and is giving birth to various minerals hs it did in former days.

The long enow shoes so effectively used ia Greenland will doubtless constitute an important part in the equipment. An interesting fact Is that one of the greatest problems now perplexing sci entific men the production of heatleas light has been already solved by na ture. The light from a luminous beetle sufficient for reading a newspaper is shown by the spectroscope to be all of one kind and just the kind for seeing, wane the thermople finds . no evidence of heat. Yet in all our artificial lights vast quantities of fuel are wasted for useless beat. . A otc1 Cure Tor Corns. "louare irouoiea with corns, are you ?" said a Fittsburger to one of his friends who walked with a peculiar. limping gait. "Well, everybody has a remedy for them, but the trouble with most of the remedies is that they are no good without faith, and the man afflicted with corns generally considers his case hopeless. But I can tell you tht a cure that is simple and effectual. Soak the afflicted portion of your feet every night the longer the better in crude petroleum, then saturate a cloth with tbe same stuff, wraw it around yonr toe, rot your stockings on go to bed. "A few nights of this treatment will cause the corn to disappear, I first heard of thie remedy when I was living in the oil region, and of course I laugh ed at it, Cut a little Inquiry among the men who worked about the tanks and wells convinced me that they be- j lieved In it.
