"One of our prominent merchants is
afraid of being arrested for importing
foreign labor. His wife set a hen, and as
usual put thirteen eggs under the hen,
but by some mistake put a china egg
with tho rest. After the proper time the
hen came clucking off the nest with a
Chinaman following her. Hence, his
fear of arrest." Ridgway Democrat.
Wo havo received a littlo pamphlet,
written by Ilonry Burr, of Washington,
D. C, which attempts to prove that
Slmkesporo could not have been the au
thor of tho great dramas bearing his
name because ho could not write legibly,
if at all. None of his writing is in exis
tence excepting his signature to somo
legal documents, which is very bad in
dued. But that, iu our opinion, know
ing (ioorge A. Jeuks as wo do, is mighty
poor evidence. If, several centuries
hence, some iconoclast were to arise and
say that Mr. Jenks was no great shakes
as u lawyer and had never been Solicitor
General of the United States, and attempt
to prove it by .exhibiting some choice
specimens of his hand-writing, he might
Ji mt many people to agree with him. It

An exclmngo has compiled the follow
ing peculiarities which are to be found in
tho calendar : The calendar oilers certain
curiosities which are liltlo known. The
following are a few of them : No century
can commence on a Wednesday, Friday
or Saturday. Tho month of October al
ways commences on the snine day of the
week ns the month of January. Febru
ary, March and November commence on
the same day of the week, whereas May,
June and August commence on different
days. Those rules do not apply to leap
years. Tho ordinary year is always fin
ished on the same day of the week when
It commenced. Tho years repeat them
selves that Is to say, they havo the samo
calendar every 2S years.
Rev. Irl R. Hicks in the May Word
and Works says : "We believe that May
and Juno will be propitious for agricul
tural interests, to all who will make good
use of their opportunities. Let crops be
planted with all the hasto consistent with
thorough preparation, and let tho early
stages of cultivation be as rapid and per
fect as possible. With a clean, pulverous
condition of tho soil, as a general thing
thero will be ample moisture in Juno to
start, and even mature crops, especially
the early crops in all tho southern parts
of our country. The Venus equinox in
July is favorable for rains of more or
less frequency, even in that mouth, so
that all crops that can be brought to ma
turity by August, may, wo think, be
counted on with much assurance Wo
fear that tho 'hot winds' and much lack
of general rains will make greatly against
farmers who aro caught with crops whoso
success depend upon good seasonable
conditions after the middle of July.
Crops that cannot be matured so early
should by pll means, be given unceasing
cultivation. A perfectly clean, through
ly pulverized soil is almost absolute proof
against the inroads of drought, for even
weeks and months. Preparo for the
worst then yen will not only bo ready
should It como, but if the worst does not,
you will bo prepared for tho benefits of
the best. Tho care and preparation wo
insist upon are on the side of common
sonso nnd tho most trustworthy exper
ience. Here nre a few hints on tho proper
treatment of a man, supposed to have
been written by a horse : Whon a man
drops from Bheer exhaustion or illness,
promptly sieze an endbonrd or a cart
stake and pound him on tho head nnd on
the ribs. If this does not recuperate
him, kick him violently in tho belly.
This treatment will restore him if persis
tently administered If a man finds his
load too heavy and feels that it will ser
iously strain him to proceod, kick oil' a
fenco board and knock him down -and
hammer him throughly with it. Thiswill
give renewed energy, and he will uiakn
no more fuss. But do not on any account
reduce the load. That would look too
much liko common sense, or humanity,
and he'd bo likely to balk again w;hcn
overloaded. If a man refuses to drink
when you oiler him water, don't give
him any for two years. That will "teach
him" to be thirsty any time you lind it
convenient to attend to him. It is a good
plan to ply tho whip frequently on a man
who is at work. No matter if ho is do
ing his best, hit him now nnd then on
"general principles" and to prevent him
taking any comfort. If his load is not
too heavy, oblige him to go faster to
make up for it. Work him hard enough
to bring down tho life of man one-half,
as is done with horses. If no whip is
handy uso a club. Tio your man's head
back in an unnatural position, with his
eyes up toward tho sun. This will give
him a "flue appearance" and prevent
"stumbling." Of courso ho will not be
able to do much work iu this fix, but it
makes him wretched, so it's all right.
If it is not perfectly convenient to feed
a man who is working for you at noon
let him go without, and, by active use of
the whip, secure as much work us the
lood would have secured. Of courso it
wears out his vitality mid distresses him,
but that is no matter. These are correct
principles, I am sure, for 1 learned them
when a colt from my master, w ho treated
all his horses on this plan. Kx,
