A New Zeulaml Warrior Who Died of Old Afje, Not of Ills Name. ltewl Munlupoto, whose death was re ported ou Saturday, was almost the last of the great chiefs of the Maoris, says the Westminster Gazette. He was born in 1807, and was a warrior and leader in council among the Ngatimanl npotos from Ills youth. His earliest years were passed amid savage scenes of Intertribal strife, ambuscades, fierce hand-to-hand battles, massacres and cannibal orgies, llougl. chief of the great northern tribe of Ngapulii, visited London, was petted by Kxeter Hall, patronized by George IV., presented with a suit of nrmor aud a gilt crown and loaded with gifts. At Botany Bay, ou liis way back, he converted these into guns and powder, and, 011 landing at tlie Bay of Islands, proclaimed him self the Napoleon of New Zealand, en tered on a career of slaughter and rapine, and swept the country south of Auckland with lire and sword. His victorious march was stayed by tlie Waikatos aud Ngatlmnuiapotos and the tide of conquest rolled back northward. It was in these aud subsequent inter tribal wars that ltewi won his reputa tion as a fighting chief. When Sir George Grey, as Governor of New Zealand, declared war against the Waikatos In 18(1", ltewl became one of the leading Maori generals. For two years the struggle raged with vary ing success against 10,000 British troops, supported by a powerful squad ron, hilt step by step, and contesting every Inch of ground, the Maoris were pressed back to Oralian, where ltewi made a last heroic staud with 300 or 400 followers, the remnant of his tribe. He was besieged by 1,500 British troops for three days, during which the garri son was without water and subsisted cm raw potatoes niul maize. At length, after repeated assaults had boeu re pulsed, the flying sap broke Into tho trenches and a storm of canister and musketry swept the works. General Cumeron, with a soldier's chivalrous admiration of the spirit ami bravery of the enemy, offered terms of capitula tion. Then a slight, wiry figure, with a closely tattooed face and fiery, gleam ing eyes, leaped ou the breastwork and Ilung back tills stern defiance: "Kn wliawlini 111 a tan, tomo, nke, ako, nkc!" "We will light 011 forever ami ever and over!" The stronghold was carried with a rush, but ltewl and a few others escaped. Realizing the hopelessness of the struggle, lie successfully exerted his in fluence to bring about a peace, and since that time he has been a consistent and loyal ally of the Europeans and a promoter of every movement for the welfare of his countrymen. To the last ids affection for Sir George Grey was simple and touching, A few months ago, when lie felt that his end was nigh, he expressed n desire that they should rest side by side In one grave, and only a few months before Ids death a hand some monument, made in Auklnml to tlie order of Sir George Grey, was erect ed with much ceremony near tho old chief's home at Kililkllii. It bears tho following Inscription: "In memory ol Bowl Manlapoto, the last great chief of tlie Ngatlmnuhipoto, N'gatlrnnkawa and Walkato." Very Costly.

Thero really is no handsomer troo In the world than au npplo tree, con sidering flowers, fruit and general homeliness. (Queer that wo call a disagreeable thing homely.) But our apple trees ore not grown right to multo thcra suitable for ornamenta tion. Try heading thorn in when young, nnd let thorn branch ns low as two feet from tho ground. You will have to thin a little to let the sun in, when the treo will givo you a great globe of good fruit. But what a vis ion in flower; nothing can bo liner. I, of course, do not recommend this plan for orchards; but for largo lawns it is very eflcctivc. Still easier is it to grow roundheaded dwarf apple trees. These should be headed very low, and make minntnro trees about ten feet in diameter. Some of tho best trees for round heads are Astra clinn, Jonnthan, Swaar, Famense. If it is desired to get much good fruit from such trees tho applos should bo Ihiunod sharply.—Now York Inde pendent. PREVENTING THE GROWTH OP HORNS. There is no doubt that tho absence ot horns from all except thorough bred cuttlo is very desirable. From adult animals they can be removed by the use of tho saw or somo of tho clip pers made especially for tho purpose. Whilo these methods ore not injuri ous it is not denied that they nro very painful. Preventing their growth is tho most humane method as well ao the 0110 most easily applied. When the calf is a few days old, clip off tho hair over tho horn button. Hub this button with a stick of caustio potash the end of which has been moistened with water. Continuo uulil tho em bryonic horn begins to appear iu tlamed. It will dry up in a few days nnd no scar be left. Do not allow a particle of the caustio to touch any other portion of tho skin, as it burn's intensely, but is not so painful on tho horn buttons, though it may cause the calf to bo dumpish for a few days. Wrap paper about the stick of caustio to protect tho fingers. A number of prepared applications are on tho market, most of which nro effective, but the caustio potash in sticks can be had at any drug store. The advisability of dehorning need not be argued. Ali who have tried it indorse tho practice. Attend to it now when tho calves aro being dropped. This method ot prevent ing horn growth has proven offeotive in thousands of cases.—Amerioan Ag riculturist. BLACK LEG OR MURRAIN IN CATTLE. "Black qunrtor," "bloody murrain," "black leg" and malignant anthrux are all one and tho sumo disease, but it sometimes assumes different forms, or is more virulent is somo seasons than others, henco receives different local unincs. Thero is usually swell ing of tho shoulder, quarter, nock, breast or side, but sometimes only one limb will appear to bo affected, tho animal being but slightly stiff and lame at first, then a swelling will ap pear, tho skin become hard, cracking open, nnd yellow or bloody matter is suing therefrom. This disease usually appears among well fed and thriving stock, attacking tho youngest and fat test animals, but it runs its course to quiokly that thero is 'little time or an opportunity to attempt tho use of remedies, even if any of much value were known, which, 'unfortunately, is not tho case. After tho disease runs for a while in a herd, it sometimes as sumes a milder form, and then reme dies may bo used with fair success. Theso consist mainly of medicines that will clear out tho bowels and eliminate tho poisons, such as sulphate of soda, tartrate of potassa, common salt, and turpentine and local applications to the swolled parts, freely bathing in spirits of camphor, oil of turpentine or weak lotions inado of diluted enr bolio acid. Dr. James Low recom mends giving by tho month nitro muriatic, sixty drops; bicromato of potassa, three grains, and clilorato o[ potassa, two drachms, twico daily, and two or three drachms of a saturated solution of sulphate of quiuia, iodide of potassium and bisnlphnto of soda injected at equal intervals beneath tho skin. Wo do not think tho cause of tho disoaso is known, but wo do know that it is frequently very de structive to cattle, and, as we have said before, those given tho best of cure suffer the most. Above all things, soe thut your stock is given all the common salt they will eat, and keep it in troughs or boxes under a shod, where every animal in the herd can go and help himself.—New York Bun. TO MAKE TOULTRY RAISING PROFITABLE. In tho first placo, build the poultiy houso wliero cold winds of winter will not strike it. Select tho sunniest place possible, high and dry, where barns aud other outbuildings will pro tect it. Have it as convenient as practicable to tho dwelling, for fowls need more atteution than any kind of stock durfng bad weather, cspeoially in winter. They then need a warm house, good feed and plenty of fresh water. In order to keep tho house warm batten every crack and bank up about the bottom. For banking, drive stakes about eight iuches from tho outside of the wall. Place old boards inside Ikcac iswniu dhdmiec from tho stale 33 dig n trench and throw the earth between the boards and tho walls until a solid bnnlt of soil two feet high and eight inches thick is formed all around tho chicken houso except at tho door. This will keep tho lioor wnrrn and prevent all draughts. This is an important item, as tho fowls are on tho floor most of the timo during tho day. Every farmer should have at least twenty-fivo chickens twenty-four hens and a rooster. For those a houso 10x14 feet and seven feet high under tho eaves is sufficient for both summer and winter. For tho framo use 2x4 scantling; cover those on tho outside with matched board or ordi nary smooth boards and battens. For tho roof use good shingles. All tho lumber should bo smooth on both sides. You on then paint tho ont sido of tho houso and whitewash tho inside. Home professionals hoat their poul try houses with a stovo during tho coldest days, but this is expeasivo and requires careful manipulation. If tho tiro gets low or goes out tho fowls aro apt to tako cold and havo the roup. If the climate is very cold shoatho tho insido of tho houso and paok tho space between tho outer and inner walls with sawdust. llero tho hardier breeds, such as Plymouth Hooks, Wy andottcs, Uruhtnas, oto., will do woll without artificial heat. They will lay all winter. Where tho thermometer seldom goes lower than eight or ten degrees below zero a lining of tarred paper is usually sufficient. Never choose a tender, largo-combed variety of chickens if you live in a cold cli mate. Provide large windows for the south side of tho house. For twenty-five fowls place three roost poles across one end. Let thorn rest on a strip of board nailed to tho wall two feet from tho floor. A piece of one-inch board two inches wide with rounded edgeif will answer. Place tho first one foot from the wall and the other two 1J feet apart. These can bo removed when the house is being cleaned. Six nests ten inches square, two feet from tho flour and on the end oppositd tho roosts, will provide sufficient room for laying. Never placo them on the floor of the houso. Have a solid par tition between each, so that the hens oannot fight. Line with soft straw, never hay. Clcnn out four times a year and liuru tho old material. Nests used for setting hens must bo cleaned before putting in tho eggs and after the chickens are hatched. It is a good plan to sprinkle a little sulphur in tho bottom of each nest as there is where lice usually start. Cloan out from under the roosts at least once a week, sweeping tho whole houso clean. A littlo lund plaster spriuklcd about prevents bad odors, adds to the value of the manure and keeps tho floor frcin rotting. The floor should be six inches above tho ground, made of dressed and matched lumber. Tho ground beneath it must bo well drained so no water will stand near the house. Make a box tlx 4 foct and one foot high with sides sloping outward. Into this put about three inches of lino gravel. This will (take tho place of oyster shells ami is much better for tho fowls. A flook of chiok ens treated as directed abovo will bo a source of pleasure and one of tho most profitable kiuds of livo Btock.—New York Agriculturist. FABU AND GABDEN NOTES. Fat lions won't lny, and you might as well save your food, aud get some eggs in return for it. Dig up a portion of your ynrd as soon as possible, and give tho hens u chance to work in some fresh earth. Tho now bee csoapo honoy-board makes excellent ventilators iu hot weather, and many think they provout swarming caused by exoessivo heat. Tho secret ofgotliug wax to a bright yellow color is to let it cool slowly. If you havo a largo quantity, you can put a largo quantity of water with it. That cow which costs 310 per nunum to feed, and produces #3O iu milk and butter, is a sad leak, equal, if not greater than u rat hole in the bin. Do not allow tho manure heap to lay exposed to all the drenching rains from fall till spring, and thou buy commercial fertilizer to help tho crop along. If you haven't cleaned out your roosting place, aud sprinkled lime or sulphur about you should do so at onoe. Warm weather will bring foul air and thnt is productive of disease. Three light meals daily are better for hens than one heavy one. If you don't believe it, try it on yourself. Over-feeding will produoe liver en largement. IndigeHtiou will follow, and then tho hen boeomos poor aud non-productive. A successful bee-keeper is caroful of his bees, keepiug the entrance to the hive narrow, and nearly closed at night, if eolonios aro weak when tho pollen season commences. It takes twenty-one dnys from tho time the egg is laid to rear u bee. Experience and industry are essen tial to success in poultry business. You can Raiu the experience with a dozen fowls, and then gradually grow iuto a larger business. Thus you cnu nscortain whether yon really like tho business enough to follow it for n liv ing. If you do not like it you'll never make a success at it. WISE WORDS. The men who mako history havo not time to write it.—Metternich. He that will not apply now remedies must expect new evils.—Bacon.

Miss Molly Elliot Seawoll his a skoteh of "Paul Joues" ia the Cen tury. She quotes a portion of Jones's own account of tho battle between tho Bon Homme llichard and the Serapis: "I directed the fire of one of the throo Cannon against the mainmast With double headod Shot Wliilo tho other two Were exceedingly well served with grape and Cannister shot to Silence tho Euemie's musqnetry an I olear her Decks which was at la it effected, tho Enemy Were, as I have since understood, on the instant of Calling for quarter, When tho coward iso or treachery of three of ray under offioers inducod them to cull to tho Enemy, the English Commodore nsko.l mo if I demanded quarter, aud I hav ing answered him in the most deter mined negative, they renewed tho bat tle with redoubled fury." What Paul Jones calls a "most de termined nogativo" was tho celebrated answer that will ever mark him as ouo of the bravest of the bravo. The two ships lviug head and storn, euvelopud in smoke as they repeatedly caught fire from each other, and neither ouo in position to iiro an effective shot, a sudden aud awful silenco ensued.

I The location of the earthly paradise, | or Garden of Eden, is still a matter of: dispute among orientalists and scrip- ] tural scholars of highest reputation,: says the St. Louis Republic. Some have endeavored to locate It by the fruits and mineral productions named in the bib lical descriptions as they appear in the second chapter of Genesis; others by the rivers mentioned in vesses 11 to 1-1 j of the above mentioned chapter. The weight of Investigation and tradition incline to nn agreement that the Tigris and the Euphrates of modern geog- j rnphy are the third and fourth rivers j mentioned in the biblical description of the garden. Those who agree so far differ widely as to what rivers should now be regarded as the ancient I*ison and Glhon. The Buddhistic scholars, although they reject our Bible in the greater part, incline to the opinion that the Plsou is the sacred Ganges and that the Gihon is none other than the Nile. As to the last it is altogether probable that they are correct on that point because the biblical account plain ly says that Gihon "compasseth tlie whole land of Ethiopia." Some inves tigators affirm that Eden was a spot of comparatively small area located on the table lands of what is now Arme nia, from which rise the Tigris and the Euphrates. A few scholars of dis tinction argue that the Adamic para dise was located in Africa, in the vi cinity of the Mountains of the Moon. Still another school of Orientalists lo cate the celebrated garden in the vicin ity of the ancient city of Babylon. None of these theorists lias been able to get the four rivers mentioned in the biblical account properly located; neither have they found a place where one great river "separates into four heads." This being the case, it is lmrdly necessary to add that the exact location of Eden Is a mystery that will probably never bo solved. Here's Talent.
