liamson says: ''The tigar's for?paw is ,i
the invariable engine of destruction, j
Most persons imagine that if a tiger
were deprived of its claws and teeth he
would be rendered harmless, but this is
a great error. The weight of the limb :
is the real cause of mischief, for the
1 ">ns are rarely extended when a tiger

Johnson is of a contrary opinion, for he i
says: "During a residence of nine years ; I

imal killed by a tiger that had not the :

ally takes place in the manner I have !
described, but never from its weight, j
like the fall, of a hammer. Of my two :

Papicondah, on the Godavery. My sec- j

The Microscope as a Ditective.
In Germany, some years ago, it was
discovered by the authorities of a railway
that a barrel which, on being dispatched
from a certain station, contained
silver coin, had, during the
journey to its destination, been emptied
-r on/3 filltwl TOirh SHTld. I
<JI lilO UO 1U1U uuvv. ...
For some time no clew to the perpetrator
of the robbery could be discovered;
but at length a learned professor,
having been consulted on the subject,
called in the "aid o: the microscope. The
piofessor went to work on the tr&cfe at
once. He, knowing that, even thongh
in the very minutest degree, there was
a distinctive djfkrence in the sand
found near the vanoas stations alons?
the railway line, .^nt for samples- of it
from each of the places through which
the train containing the silver coin had
passed "With the microscope he then
tra-mined each samole. com
?
pared it with the sand found in the
barrel, and thus identiSel the station
from which the latter had been procured.
Having, in this ingenious manner,
found out the station he wanted,
little difficulty remained; for the railway
servants employed at it, by one of
whom the robbery had been committed,
were so few in number that the culprit
was read ily detected. I n this ingenious
manner the thief was found.

The Value of liquid Mftnnre.
i A cow nnder ordinary feediag, furnishes
in a jear 2l),000 ponDds of solid
excrement, and abont 8,000 pounds of
liauid. The comoarative manev valne
j of the two is but slightly in favor of ihe
solid. This statement has been verified
as troth over aDd over again. The urine
of herbiverous animals holds nearly all
the secretions of the body which are
capable cf producing the rich.nitrcgenous
compounds so essential as forcing
or leaf-forming agents in the growth of
plants. The solid holds the phosphoric
acid, the lime and ma6nesi3, which go
to seeds principally; but the liquid,
holding nitrogen, potash and soda, is
needed in forming the stalks and leaves.
The two forms of plant nutriment should
never be separated or allowed to be
wasted by negleet. The farmer who
saves all the urine of his animals
doubles his manorial resources every
year.?[Journal of Chemistry.

No animals is so extensively distributed
over the globe, or increases so
rapidly as the hog. It is a mistake to
allow sows to breed before they are at
least a year old, as they are not then
sufficiently matured, and pigs from snch
are sometimes too week to live. Hoso
ough'c not to sleep under old houses or
in a bed of dust. If one has a dozen
hogs, a pen ten feet square, closely
called np on the east and north sides to j
break off all the raw, cold winds, dry in
all kind3 of weather, and a good roof
overhead, is the best sle ping place for
tnese animals, rat m leaves with clean
litter a foot in depth, and sprinkle on
these every week or two kerosene oil
from a common garden watering pot.
If there are signs of lioe or mange, pnt
a little carbolic acid with the kerosene

and see that it does not get
foul, anaSA^an it out and put fresh
clean litter in pftace of the old, and mix

Secret of Sntfcess with Small Fraits.
If yon *sk me to give the secret of ?,
sruccess in small fruit culture in a brief
formula, E would say that it is contained
in two wcrds, stimulation, restriction.
By stimulation I mean a deep, thoroughly
pulverized and enriched soil.
This is especially essential to the strawl>erry,
the foreign raspberry, and all the
currents. A rampant growing raspberry,
like the Cuthbert or Turner, and
our vigorous blackberries .do not require
stimulation, but they do restriction.
You cannot make the ground too deep,
too rich for the strawberry if there is
°uate restriction. By restriction 1
mean the development of frnit rather
tfcaa wood or vines. Set ont a straw- 1
lerry pls.nt in very deep, rich, moist
foil, and its first tendency is to follow
the great law of nature and propagate
iself, bc;t to the degree that it makes :
plants it cannot make fruit. Cut off (
fcvery runner and enormous fruit buds
are-developed. The sap is-dammed up j
as a miller restricts a stream, and the
result is strawberries that are double
in size and quantity. This is equally ,
I rue of raspberries. To the degree
that there are suckers there is less fruit.
If a currant bush is crowded with wood
* - - A i.T
?too oia or two youog?ouera are jew
:nrrants. Moreover, by cutting back a
raspberry cane in spring one-third, yon
?dd one-third to the size and abundance
of the fruit.'?-fE. P. Roe.
Balky Food Necessary for Fowl*.
A constant waste and repair of all the
fcodily tissues* says the American
Poultry Yard, belongs to the normal
condition of all healthy animal life.
Certain portions of the food taken into
the stomach are in some way, not yet

ihe tree way to keep all their bodily

i cist as necessary that the waste portions

rtfaBsurcment of Grape Vfmrs.
Grapes 5rst coming in bearing should j
aot bo permitted to perfect large crops
f fruit while young. It is excusable ;
to lruit a ounch or so on a young vine,
"just to test the kind," but no more
should be permitted till the 'Tine ha^ :
age and strength. Vigorous growth and '
great productiveness are the antipodes :
of the vegetable world. Encourage a; ?
much foliage as possible on the vines,
and aim to have as strong shoots at the
top of the cone; this can be done by
pinching out the points of the strong
shoots after they tave made a jrrowth of
five or six leaves. This will make the
w< ak OD es grow stronger. locmg vines
grow much faster over a twiggy branch,
stuck in for support,* then over a straight
stick, as a trellis, and generarly do better
every way. Where extra fine bunches
of grapes are desired, pinch back the
shoot bearing it to about four or five
leaves the bunch. This should not be
done indiscriminately with all the
bunches Two much pinching and
stopping injures the production of good
wood for the nest season. Those hints
are for amateurs, who have a few vines
on treliises; for large vineyard culture,

as far as they go, they will vary in their
application.
Fine, rich color is always esteemed as
one of tho criterions whereby 1;o judge
of the excellence of faith. Sunlight is
of first importance; but it is not generally
known that this is injurious when
in excess. In a dry atmosphere, with
great sun heat, where the evaporating
process goes on faster than the secretive
_!_ ?1>_ ~ ?U
principle, wuau siitmiu. ucv;'jwcuiaxiv;u,
rosy blush in a fruit, is changed to a
sickly yellow; and the rich jet black of
a grape becomes a fox red. Some grape
growers c-f eminence, in view of the
facts, shade their vineries during the
coloring process; but others, instead,
keep the atmosphere as close and moist
as possible. The latter course detracts
from the flavor of the fruit. The best
plan is that which combines both practices.?

Major aud the Cat. 1
a gentleman m this city owns a nne '
large dog named Major. Major's hatred '
of a cat appears to be deep-seated, and j
he will kill all that comeu in his way, f
and will often go ont of his way to vent
his spite on his enemies. His master's 1
wife had a cat which she determined ?
Major should not barm, and she took <
great pains to impress the big brute
with this idea. She would take puss in
her arms, carry her up to the dog, and

talk to her enemy reprovingly. The
intelligent dog seemed to understandevery
word she said, bnt for all that h
wonld keep his eyes fastened upon puss
with a longicg aijd hungry loo.'i, as
though anxious to bring the pressure of
his ponderous jaws to bear upon her
spinal column. But his mistress conquered,
and made him understand thai
he must live on friendly terms with pusi?.
More than once he had been seen watching
the cat with a look of evil intent,
but out of respect to his mistress he conquered
his nature, and would throw
himself upon the ground with a sigh expressive
of deep disgust at the situation.
Tiie cat was disposed to be on friendly
terms with her enemy, but Major would
nnt. tnlerate the slightest familiaritv.
"Whenever puss approached hira he
would get up and go a?ay w:;th a
melancholiy look, which seemed to say:
"I am dying to kill you, and its doggone
hard luck that I can't do it." Thug
matters went on for some months, and
puss began to incur the displeasure of
her mistress by sneaking up stairs at
every opportunity and making trouble
| by curling herself np and taking naps
j on the snowy counterpanes a_:d doing
snch other untidy acts as would naturally
arouse the ire of a neat housekeeper.
One morning the lady told her husband
tbat the cat was getting troublesome
that she guessed it would have to be
killed. A few minutes later a rush and
a struggling noise was heard, and us the
lady of the house hastened to the door
to see what had happened, Major walked
up to his mistress and laid at her feet
the dead body of puss, and then looked

had heard his mistress express the wii-h
that puss might be killed, and this was
so in consonance with his own feelings
that he ^ent right out and finished the
cat. Mujor resides on Temple street.?

THE HOME DOCTOK.
Hists fob Poor Sleepers?Poor
sleepers iriil find it advantageous often
to raise the head of the bed a foot
higher than the foot, and then to sleep
on a tolerably thick hair pillow, eo as to
bring the head a little higher than the
shoulders. The object is to make the
work of the heart in throwing blood to
the brain harder, so it will not
throw too much. A level bed, with the
head almost as low as the feet, causes,
an easy flow of blood to the brain, andj
prevents sleep. Persons who find them-1
selves restless and nnable to sleep at
night wonld do well to place the head
of the bed toward th9 north, as it is nn^r?nhfe.-11v
a itmof. pnndnflive to health.
A hot mustard foot-bath, taken at bedt;ij?
is beneficial in drawing blood
from the head, and thus inducing sleep.
Sponge the entire length of ths spine
with hot water for ten or fifteen minutes
before retiring. This will often insure
a good night's sleep. A hearty meal,
and a si?at near a warm fire, after a long
walk in a cold'wind, will induce deep
sleep ia the majority of persons, no
matter how lightly they ordinarily
slumber. Active outdoor exercise and
avoidance of excessive and long-continued
mental exertion, are necessary in
all cases of sleeplessness. "Where these
means fail, juch remedies as are known
to diminish the amount of blood in the
dead should be resorted to?of course,

fresh air in chambers at night. The
lecturer said there was no dancrer from

tried the experiment one cold night and
caught a severe cold, which lasted the
entire winter. She lost faith in hardening
against cold. A young mother

legs ought to be hardened by exposure
in early yesrs, and not be made tender
by warm coverings in winter. She lost
her two oldest children by croup and
pneumonia, induced as the physician
said, by insufficient clothing. She gave
up the attempt ts harden the others.
The best way to harden the body is to
protect it well from extromes, both of
cold and heat, and build up a strong _
constitution by good food, sleep and
good exercise."
Animals Thai Dig for Water.
The Times, of Los Angelos, California,

plains of Arizona and Southern California.
It is well known that some of

This problem has been solved by
a Soutfa American gentleman who has

days, and a Times reporter, learning
through a third party that he had made
a discovery, called upon him and
gathered the following facts: It seems
t! at the gentleman -wa3 travelling in a
dry part of Sonth America about eighteen
months ago, all alone looking for
a new range of stock. He bad journeyed
about thirty miles from water and
-gas beginning to get- q^ed uj> when he
liscovered one of thosa green spots on

pprcaoh he taw that there was a

Cney had mo and s all aronnd the green

hat water was a great distance off, he
jegan an investigation, and came to

he captured two of them, and
itarted for his ranch. On arriving
here a pen was made in a dry place,

n the bottom of the hole while the
3ther brought the dirt to the top. On
;he fifth day they seemed to be exhausted,
and he gave them some water.
This stopped work for seveial days, bnt
;hey soon got thirsty and went to work
is hard as ever. On the morning of
the eighteenth day they both came up
with a rush, followed by a stream of
water. .How deep they had gone it was
impossible to tell, as the hole was not
atraighfr,
"What kind of looking animals are
they ?" asked the reporter.
"Very similar to the common prairie
3og in size and ^coior, only they have a
bony snout and the claws are much
longer and larger. They soon become
tame and make nice pets. Bat I will

WILL-HAKm
Somethira: About the W.tr in Which Wills
Should be Drawn?Cariosities of Will-,.
The Springfield (Massachusetts) Republican
saysThe journals of a year
past have mentioned, an extraordinary
I number of qneer or contested wills. Are
people becoming more disposed to dra*
their own wills without employing law
yers? There is.no reason why any on
should not 3raw a will who has a fair
business-like ability to write out the
gifts. Common sense suggests that the
1 paper ought to be headed as a will, and
it is not difficult to learn by inquiry
: j _ il
I10W many witnesses are xtrquireu iu mv
particular State; this, by the way, is the
State where the test a. or resides (at hideath);
a will drawn for a man on ?
Journey should follow the law of the
State where he has his hume. Neither
bad gramiaar nor misspelling in the
body of a will vitiates it; if the Judges
can understand what tbe paper means
they will order that done. Wills having
nearly every important word misspelled
and almost destitute of punctuation
have been accepted. Maine pa
pers say that a ccnrt has lately taken
proof of a will made in pantomine by a
man who was deaf and dumb, and could
not write or use the manual alphabet.
But mistakes which obscnre the meaning
make trouble. A story last summer
it.Hf- nr.lii TT 1
was mat lur. iuuuabw vassar, wueu
drawing bis own will, meant to leave
$7,000 to seven churches?i. e., $1,000
apiece? but in copying his rough draft
he inadvertently inserted the word
"each," giving the churches $7,<00
each, or $49,0u5 in all. The general
rale as to mistakes is that if the will is
lucid and intelligible, and can be carried
into effect as it reads, this must be
done: the lancraaee cannot be altered
because witnesses say that the testator
meant something different from what
he wrote. But if what lis written cannot
be performed, the courts will then
take proof of what the man meant to
write.
Carious conditions are sometimes imposed.
One testator declared in his will
that if any legatee should attempt to
break it he should be debarred from all
share. Another cut off any heir whe
should wear mnstaches. Another saic
that each legatee must take the pledgt
before receiving his share, and ehouid
forfeit a half-year's income for ever,
breach of it. Another left to his famih
(physician ?2,000 if testator should livf
rraa-ra nr -P3 HAft if hfl fihfinld llVf
jfive; bat, unlucky for the doctor, the
,patient lived only a week. "Whethei
conditions of this kind are operative
depends on the circumstances; if they
are lucid and practicable the courts will
enforce them, but many are so expressed
'that they amount to nothing. If you
wish that your legatees should not
receive the property unless he complies
with a condition, say so plainly in the
iwill, and the condition, if not contrary
;to law, will probably be enforced. But to
make him give back the legacy because
,of breaking the condition after it has
been paid may not be so easy. And do
(not mention .the requests at all in the
will, but write tnem in a letter separately,
unlefcs yon. mean that, if they are
hot obeyed, the legacy shall be forfeited.
Bequests which are.not peremptory
conditions often make trouble.
When Heller, the magician, died, he
bequeathed his apparatus to be destroyed.
In some instances a testator has
'directed that a favorite horse or other
pet, should be killed, "lest it fall into
.unkind hands." It is doubtful whether
a court would compel an executor to
'destroy property because the will so
Jdesired. Wills are allowed for giving
jone's property; that useful animals or
articles should be destroyed is not for
public benefit. Directions given in a
jwill as to. mode of burial, or for crema1"

law of the place.
It is only when one designs to give
his property ontright in simple ways
that he should draw his own wili; for
[ complicated trusts, endowing new institutions,
or tying up property for a
.future time, a lawyer's aid may be very
needfuL Even lawyers sometimes make
smlataKes. A! jWw I'ork' lawyer namecT
Hose drew his o^n will, leaving about
|$2,0C0,000 to be held for five years to
Jsee whether other givers would add
,"$300,000; if they wonld the whole
should go to endow a "JRose Benificent
Association"; if they would not, then
Tiiu mnrtptv was to co to other charities.
bfow the law does not allow property to
be held in suspense for a definite time
'of years; therefore his will was pronounced
void. Scfm? most absurd
'blunders have been made by lawyers in
'drawing wills for tbemselves. It is not
obligatory to appoint an executor, but
doiDg so is wise, and if a testator has
!enongh confidence in the person named
'to direct that "he shall not be required
'to give security," this may prove a great
convenience.
As respects signing and witnessing,
.wills often fail for some informality in
these, especially in New York, where the
form is stricter tban in most States. A
story of last summer was that a will was
presented written partly in black penci.1,
partly in bine (a will is not void because
in penoil, though ink is far better);
about half was written on one page, and
the witnesses signed at the foot; the
other half was written on the other page,
and then came the testator's signature.
This instrument was discarded, because
the witnesses-did not sign at the end of
the will. Common sense ought to tell
any one that any important paper ought
to be completed before the signatures
are affixed.
The New York rule as to signing and
witnessing is that there must be two
witnesses; the testator must sign in their
presence, inform them that the paper is
his will (he need not tell them what ia
in it), and ask them to witness it; and
they must sign their names and
residences at the end of the will. They
usually sign below a brief memorandum
certifying that these things were done;
but the memorandum is net strictly
essential. Keep the will, when completed,
iu a Bafe place. In Massachusetts
lately a will was contested because
rats had eaten the signature. Lord St.
Leonard s will was lost, and was estab
li*hed only by the fortunate fact that
his daughter was able to repeat the
substance of it from memory.

The peculiar social flavor and bnei-'

Smalley, in the August Century, in part j
as follows : j $

City editor remarked in his next issue
that it was true that his place was not as "
" dry " as Tower City, and he hoped it 0
never would be. Both these active, am- r
bitious little settlements are surpassed 8
in population by Jamestown, which has
a pretty situation on a high shale shelf b
in a bend of the James or Dakota river, *
in an amphitheatre formed by a sweep jj
of bold green bluffd that look like the

The place used to be called Jimtown, ?
but has quite outgrown the nickname. ^

in the far West the daily appears abont
as soon as the church steeple. How e
these bheets live is a mystery
to journalists. They are probably ?
sustained by merchants and real estate ~
owners as an appliance for "booming" I
a town. To "boom-' a town in Dakota ?
is an art requiring a little money, a f
good deal of printer's ink, and no end A
of push and cheek. Dropping the quo- tation
marks, for the word in its various
forms is one of the most common in
northwestern phraseology, and answers B
equally well for a noun or a verb, the j
object of a boom Is to attract settlers, si
advance the price of real estate and L
promote speculation. Fargo is said to a
be the best boomed town in Dakota. As p
a specimen of skillful booming, here is a
paragraph from the circular of a Fargo ?
real estate operator. * _
" We have anything yon want, and at B
any price. We can sell yon a city or c
