An Atlrentiirc with a Widow.
I have no doubt at all bat tley'ra a
good institution in ttinir way, and just

I'll take mine with out 'cm hereafttr.

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.

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.

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.

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

It is expected thet an expedition of
hardy Norwegians will start for the
North Pole in 1800, by way of Franz
Jostf's Land. Lr. Nanlenj the bold
explorer "who crossed Greenland's ice
fields last summer will probably be of
fered the leadership. 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. They said they were never
troubled with corns, and assured tne
that the frequent wetting of their shoes

In their occupation had the effect of
driving all thee troublesome excre
scences away. Try it and it will cure
you.
