Cow* and Calve*.
Much has been said and written about
the best treatment of calves, and so
many have advised their immediate removal
that we this spring determined
to try it. Out of four so treated (all
heifers worth $100 when they were drop
' ped), one died before it was a week
old, another is scouring so badly that
we have but little hope of its recovery,
and a third is ailing and weakly. We
have had quite enough of this treatment,
and shall return to our custom of
leaving all calves with their mothers
until they are at least three days old,
and longer, if necessary, to 6tart them
fairly and vigorously on the road of
life, a practice which has hitherto produced
the most satisfactory results.

regretted it?on another theory of Bome
modern breeders of Jerseys?that is, to
milk the cows quite up to the time of
calving, if possible. In every case, I
am convinced that real and probably
permanent injury has resulted. The
idea advanced was that a Jersey cow
has no other purpose but to bring calves
and to produce milk, and that she should
be trained to the fullest and most persistent
exercise of the lacteal function.
The subject has been presented to me
so long and so persuasively, and by men
whose opinion seemed so well worthy
of respeot, that I had come to more
than half believe it, and have tried the
experiment this spring with several animals.
In every case there has been
trouble with the' udder, and thus far the
flow of milk is less than it was after the
previous calving. The calves have not
been materially affected by it, but the
mothers have Deen in every instance.
Hereafter, we shall endeavor to dry off
all the cows a month before calving.
Up to that time it is well to keep the
milk flowing (if only a pint a dav), and
with Jerseys it is almost always easy to
do this; bat after that the milking
should cease, and the udder should be
allowed to become entirely empty of
milk preparatory to the commencement
of its new period of activity?"springing
" regularly and naturally, and having
no trace of the old love when it begins
with the new.?American.
Soap-Wash for Fruit-Trees.
The beneficial influence of a weak
alkali wash upon the bark of fruit-trees
is of long-standing acknowledgment.
Its action is in expansion of the pores,
while at the same time it is destructive
of all insect life, sporadic or otherwise.
Writers or theorists differ as to the best
time to apply it; but we have always
found that if good common sense be
used in preparing it, the time of application
is always good. And now for the
preparation. If you use purchased
potash, reduce it so that you can bear
your finger in it half a minute or more
without a tingling or sore sensation. If
yon can obtain good soft-soap from the
refuse-grease and lye of ashes saved up
dry, then take and reduce it (the soap)
down, not to a suds, but so that it will
not be ropy when used by a soft white

now, and any time most convenient until
in July; but after that time it is,
perhaps, better to wait till the next
year.
Charcoal for Fowls.
The benefit which fowls derive from
eating charcoal is, I believe, acknowledge.
The method of putting it before
thorn is, however, not well understood.
Pounded charcoal is not in the shape
in which fowls usually find their food,
and consequently is not very enticing
to them,
I have found that corn burnt on the
cob, and the refuse?which consists almost
entirely of the grains reduced to
charcoal, and still retaining their perfect
shape?placed before them, is greedily
eaten by them, with a marked improvement
in their health, as i6 shown by the
brighter color of their combs, and their
sooner producing a greater average of
eggs to the flock than before.?S. Jinf us

Beet Sugar In California.
Two sugar beet factories have been
established in California, and they are
still doing well. They produce annually
1,500,000 pounds of nice white
sugar. The companies raise their own
beets still they buy of farmers whenever
offered at $4 a ton. The yield is
15 tons to the acre, and the cost of raising
is $40, leaving $20 profit. The
beets are sown tolerably thick since

as ^arge a percent, of sugar as smaller
ones. The only variety grown is the
White Silcsian. The mills work about
72 tons a dav. A part of the product is
molasses and alcohol, and large mimbers
of cattle are fed with the pulp which is
worth $2 a ton, making the beets actually
worth $fi. The yield of sugar is
not far from 10 per cent.
Perpetual Paste.
The Journal of Applied Chemistry
says: Dissolve a teaspoonful of alum in
a quart of warm water. When cold, stir
in as much flour as will give it the consistency
of thick cream, being particular
to break up all the lumps; stir in as
much powdered rosin as will lie on a
dime, and throw in half a dozen cloves
to give a pleasant odor. Have on the
tire a teacup of boiling water, pour the
flour mixture into it, stirring well at the
time. In a very few minutes it will be
of the consistency of mush. Pour it
into an earthern or china vessel; let it
cool; lay a oover on, and put it in a cool
place. When needed for nse, take out
a portioq and soften it with warm water.
Paste thus made will last twelve months.
Cure for Self-Milker*.
To prevent a cow from sucking herself
take a piece of fence wire, bend it
in the form of a jewsharp bow, leaving
both ends of the wire several inches
long, insert both ends of the wire
through her nose and form a ring of
the two ends similar to the one already
made, sav 2i or 3 inches in diameter.

The Beggars' Bridge.
Several centuries ago, a certain Grand
Duke of Florence built a bridge without
expense to the State. He issued a
proclamation that every beggur who
would appear at the grand plaza at a
certain designated time, should be provided
with a new suit of clothes free of
cost. At the appointed hour the beggars
of the city assembled, whereupon
the officers caused each avenue of the
public square to be closed, and then
compelled the beggars to strip off their
old clothes, and gave to each one, according
to promise, a new suit. In the
old clothes enough money was found
concealed to build a beautiful bridge
over the Arno, which is still known by
the name of the Beggars' Bridge.
Walworth's Departure for Sing Sing.
Early in the morning Sheriff Brennan
proceeded to the Tombs and in- i
formed young Walworth, convicted of i
murder in the second degree and sen- i
tenced to imprisonment for life, that he i
must prepare for his removal to Sing i
Sing. The convict's mother and grand- 1
mother with his younger brother had
visited the Tombs previous to the it- '
rival of the Sheriff and had already bidden
him farewell. There was no
special emotion manifested by either i
Walworth or his relatives, his mother
and himself maintaining the same unmoved
demeanor that they have preserved
since the committal of the crime.
There is nrob&blv a latent hone on the
part of both that the term of imprison- <
ment may be shortened by the intetpo- <
sition of the Executive, but at all events
the parting was not what would have i
been expected of such near relations i
bidding each other a life-long adieu.
A carnage had been provided by Wal- !
worth's relations that he blight go to <
the station like ft gentleman and not i
ride lb the prison van as a common <
criminal, but the Sheriff refused to !
permit any such distinction to be made
between Walworth and the other crim- i
inals, and had the boy murderer chained
to the wife-murderer Qillen, who also l
goes to Sing Sing for life. Allen the i
burglar, and Greenfield, convicted of
grand larceny, were brought out from i
their cells, chained together, and Beated <
in the van with Walworth and Gillen, i
The load of sin was made up by the ad- '
dition of four others of lesser note, sen- 1
tenced to various terms of imprison- 1
ment, and then the doors were barred !
and bolted and the van driven off to ;
the Forty-second street depot. A large
basket of flowers had been brought to i
the prison by some lady friends of the '
convict: but he was not permitted to :
receive them, and they were taken in :
charge by his mother, who, with his 1
other relatives, entered the carriage i
they had designed for him and followed i
the prison van to the depot. A large :
crowd had collected in and around the ]
depot, drawn thither from curiosity to !
see the departure of the parrioide for <
his life-long country residence, and the <
officers had great difficulty in forcing <
their way through to the car, and even i
after the party was seated in the car ]
the crowd pressed eagerly round it to 1
catch a'last glance at the party within, i
The Local Editor.
The following is borrowed, and it is
the best we ever had a local editor lend
us:?"If a man buys a new buggy, or if '
his cow can bawl three times without
winking, the local is expected to pro- '
claim it with a grand flourish. If he ^
starts a two-penny business, his first
thought is to bribe the local with a five
cent cigar to write a five dollar puff.
Indeed, he thinks it is a mission of the
local to make his fortune for him by
'free blowing.' He will take the local
to one side and point out the superior
qualities of a rat terrier dog, and coollv
ask him to 'give him a hoist.' He don t j
care anytliing about it, only Spriggins '
has a dog which he thinks is a buster, (
and some of 'em wanted his put in just
to take the conceit out of Spriggins.
Everybody wants to be 'put in,' but no
one says, 'Here, local, put yourself inside
of this new suit of clothes, or throw
yourself outside this oyster stew, or
stuff this watch into your pocket.' Oh,
no, of course not; that would cost something.
The 6hoe is on the other foot,
you see.
The local is supposed to know everything
about other people's business, and
is expected to show up all the actors in
every family broil in town. If the vile
tongue of scandal finds a victim, people
wonder why he don't run about with
his note book and gather up the vituperative
bits of slander for his paper. If
he steps into a billiard hall he is requested
to make a note of the astonishing
fact that Bill Tompkins has made a
run of eleven points. "When the minstrel
troupe arrives in town the agent
immediately rushes into the printing
office, and calling for the local ne slips
three or four tickets in his hand, and j
whispers, "Draw us a big house! Put
it in strong!" and patting him patronizinclv
on the shoulder the auent admits
the inferiority of the troupe, but we are
not to 'let on.' It is no sin for the local
to lie. To please the lecturer the local
is forced to sit two mortal hours to hear i
him through an insipid discourse, so ,
that he can 'write him up.' And so it '
goes. All are anxious to appear favorably
in print, but few are willing to pay 1
for it! The local's time is worth noth
ing, but to bother his head writing puffs ]
for ambitious persons. It doesn't cost
him anything to live. He never eats,
drinks or travels, and money is of no
use to him. Put it in! Put it in!"
Look Out for Horse-Thieves.
Our rural friends are advised to keep
a sharp watch on all stragglers and
strangers offering horses for sale. Chicago
and her suburbs are infested with
these villainous pests, who make nightly
raids on the stables in and around the
city. Many valuable equines have
turned up missing lately. It is the practice
of the thieves to run them into the
agricultural districts and disposeof them
to unsuspecting farmers, who are only
too willing to buy because an apparently
cheap bargain is offered, which in too 1
many instances proves to be no bargain 1
at all, for very- frequently the stolen 1
animal is traced and recovered, and the !
purchaser has to whistle for the money 1
lie has paid to the thief. Farmers in ]
the country cannot be too careful. 1
"Forewarned is forearmed."
What Manufacturing Does.
There is many a city and town that <
will appreciate the following: One '
manufactory employing a hundred men '
will support an additional 500 people. ,
Three hundred families will disburse i
annually on an average, $800, or 375,000
in the aggregate. This money will be
drawn into the town from the outside, !
where the manufactured goods are consumed,
and the interest of this $75,000
at 10 p jr cent, would be $7,500. These
hundred families, too, would require a
hundred honses, thousands of pounds i
of agricultural produce, and thousands
of yards of cotton and woolen goods,
thus civinc health and impetus to everv
branch of industry.
A Danbury man's order for his wife's
hat is a novelty in its wav. She was
sick, and couldn't go for the hat, so he
drove in himself. He told the milliner
to put on a dollar's worth of parsley,
fifty cents worth of string beans, ten
cents worth of cherries, a few green
currants, a beet or two, a little cabbage,
and about three slices of turnips, or, if
it was too early for turnips, make'it two
ew potatoes instead. ... " ;
Milk as Medicine.
The London Milk Jounal says, on the
authority of Dr. Benjamin Clarke, thai
in the East Indies warm milk is used to
a great extent as a specific for diarrhoea,
stomachache, incipient cholera, and
dysentery. The milk should never be
boiled, but only heated sufficiently to
be agreeably ttafm, not too hot to
drink. Milk which has been boiled it
unfit for use. This writer gives several
instances to show the value bf this sub'
stance in arresting this disease, among
which is the following : "It has nevei
failed in curing in six or twelve hours,
and I have tried it, I should think, fiftv
times. I have also given it to a dying
man who had been subject to dysenterj
eight mouths, latterly accompanied bj
one continual diarrhoea, and it acted on
him like a charm. In two days his diarrhoea
was gone, in three weeks he becamo
a hale, fat man, and now nothing
that may hereafter occur will ever shake
bis faith in hot milk." A writer also
communicates to the Medical THmet
and Gazette a statement of the value
of milk in twenty-six cases of typhoid
fever, in every one of which its great
value was apparent. It checks diarrhoea,
and nourishes and cools the body.
People suffering from disease require
food quite as much as those in health,
and much mere so in certain diseases
where there is rapid waste of the system.
Frequently all ordinary food in
certain diseases iB rejected by the
stomach, and even loathed by the patient,
but nature, ever beneficent, has
furnished n food that in all diseases is
beneficial?in some directly curative.
Such a food is milk. The writer in the
journal last quoted, Dr. Alexander
i'ale, after giving particular observations
upon the points above mentioned,
viz.: its action in checking diarrhoea,
its nourishing properties, and its action
in cooling the body, says : " We believe
that milk nourishes in fever, promotes
sleep, wards off delirium, soothes the
intestines, and, in fine, is the sine qua,
non in typhoid fever." We have also
lately tested the value of milk in scarlet
fever, and learn that it is now recommended
by the medical faculty in all
cases of this often very distressing
children's disease. Give all the milk
the patient will take, even during the
period of greatest fever; it keeps up
the strength of the patient, acts well
upon the stomach, and is in every way a
blessed thing in this sickness.
How Princes Tell Their Love.
It seems that, at one time, some stripling
of a prince with ample means, and
svho knew that the thing had got to be
lone up handsomely to produce an impression,
decided to send an Easter egg
to the damsel of his love, who, in thie
case, happened to be a princess of the
royal house of Saxony. So he called a
ikilfull jeweller toliisaid, and theordei
vas given. The result was an Easter
?gg such as had never been seen before,
md has certainly never since been
equalled, which to-day is preserved in
;he Green vault. Pnnce and princese
lave passed away, but the ingenious
;rinket remains to tell how the scions ol
royalty told their love in the days ol
)ld. To the ordinary observer it is ar
egg, and nothing more. But close ex
imination reveals a line of separation
which encircles it, and further search
iiscloses a spring. Touching this, the
egg shell, which proves to be of gold
enamelled to represent a shell, open,
md reveals a chick, fledged, with every
part counterfeited, but all of gola,
Enamelled. Turning the little fellow
ever, and touching a concealed spring,
the body opens, revealing another egg
if smaller dimensions. This, also ol
?old, and also enamelled, opens like the
tirst; and now we come to the kernel oi
the whole affair, an elegant solitaire
liamond ring, the stone of wonderful
beauty and clearness of water, and
worth a small fortune in itself. The
writer's memory of genealogical facts
is not so strong, and as the earlier editions
of the Almanack de Gotha are no!
it hand, he cannot say whether the lady
iccepted her princely suitoi, but it ie
very certain that she accepted the egg,
[or it is still in the strong rooms of the
house of Saxony, a curious and costly
trinket.
Bitten by a Rattlesnake,
At Cornwall, N. Y., Joseph Hulse, r
wood chopper, was bitten by a rattlemake.
While on Storm-King Mountain,
five miles up, he encountered s
serpent, and, wanting one for a friend
who had rheumatism, the belief of many
hereabouts being that snake grease is i
cure for it, he chased the snake, which
took refuge in a wood pile, and Hulse
seized him by the back of the neck, but
so far from the head that it contrived
to turn and plant one of its fangs in the
index finger of his right hand. Hulse
held fast to his snake nevertheless,
stamped his head off, and then spent
half an hour in looking for white.asli
leaves, which are believed to bo an antidote
for the poison. He found none
to suit him, however, and started foi
Hornwall. He was bitten at 7. and it
was eleven o'clock when he reached
the village, and Dr. Beattie was summoned.
At this time the arm and finger were
very much swollen and very gangrenous,
the action of the heart had almosl
leased, and the man seemed like one in
i state of intoxication. Dr. Beattie
hastily cut the finger open, and administered
two quarts of whisky in twentj
minutes ; laudanum and quinine were
also given in large quantities, and notwithstanding
the loss of three hall
pints of blood from the finger, the
pulse increased,- and Hulse became per
fectly conscious. He is, after elever
lays, in apparently good health, wit!
r>xcellent appetite, but as black as an]
African in New York. The black is oc
casioually streaked with blue, purple
and green, which appear and disappea:
alternately.

Tie Arabian Horse.
i Tho Arabian is still one of the most
i distinct varieties of this noble animal, i!
i and also one of tha most prized, being d
eagerly sought for by the Turks and I
i Christians in Asia, Southern Russia, y
) India, and even Australia, In his no- e
tire deserts he is still sometimes to be a
seen in a half-wild state, though most a
i probably owned by some of the " dwel- 0
[ lers in tents " peculiar to that region. M
But it is the most domestic breed with f
which we have chiefly to do, and which
' is carefully preserved in a pure state bv
the chief of the various tribes, though 8
, it is supposed not so free from stain
' now as was formerly the case. The 9
; head of the Arab horse is the moBt ?
' beautiful model of nature, giving the "
' idea of courage tempered with docility ?
i and submission to man better than any *
other animal, and even more so than the 8
dog. n
; It is seldom, perhapl, that so beauti- *
> ful a frame exists; but examples are a
> not wanting of such a union of elegance 8
? with perfect good and useful points. 8
i The length and muscularity of the fore- "
. arm are also remarkable, and the set- a
; ting on of the tail is peculiarly high? 4
points which have been generally trans- 4
mitted to our thoroughbred horses, des- n
i cended from Arabian blood. Many 8
modern horses of this breed are exceed- h
i ingly wicked and full of tricks, espe- n
cially in India, where an Arab horse is F
i synonymous with a kicker and biter, ^
i and plunger; but at the same time he is J
valued because he is always a good n
> hack, and bears out the heat of the 8
i Indian Summer without injury. To

i because he faces the elephant and tiger
1 better than any other breed. In height, ^
he is generally a little under fifteen ^
hands high ; and in color, either bay,
black or gray. 1
i The Barb is an African horse, of c
i smaller size; but of coarser make than ^
i the Arabian, and evidently fed tin more ^
i nutritious food. As his name implies, ^
9 his native land in Barbary ; but there is ^
' always great doubt as to what particular r
breed the imported horses belong, be- v
cause they are carried considerable dis- ^
[ tances from their native plains, and are n
: also then mixed in blood. It is gener.
ally supposed that the Barb is the proi
genitor of one root of our best English jj
i stock, and the Godolphin Arabian, as ^
1 he was called, belonged to this blood ; ^
i but the disputed point cannot possibly Q
be settled, as there is only one argument
in favor of the supposition, found- n
ed upon his enormously high crest; Q
while his superior size, being fifteen j
hands high, argues just as strongly in Q
1 favor of his Arab descent. But the B
i Spanish horse iB, no doubt, descended
from the Barb, thus havingvbeen carried e
into Spain by the Moors when they v
overran the country ; and, as the ap- y,
i pearance of the Spanish horse is totally .
i opposed to that of the descendants of
Godolphin, it is still stronger proof of ^
( the Arabian ancestry ; or, at all events,
an argument against his claim to Bar'
bary as a native climate. f
How They Make a Cannon. t
| The Springfield Union says : " The
i preparations for making the new Hitch- ;
cock gun at the water shops are going e
| on as rapidly as could be expected. The ?
. big shaft, which is being sunk in the j
i northeast corner of the old drop-ham- j
1 mer room, has reached thirty-seven feet ^
! in depth, and will be completed next *
week. For a while the drilling and e
' blasting went along rapidly, owing to o
the softness of the rock and the absence ?
r of the water; but when about twenty i
feet below the surface the water began a
[ to pour in, and a little further down y
the rock changed to a hard, grayish-red, i
| conglomerate sandstone, exceedingly <1
difficult to work. Two small pumps f
! were put in to remove water, and F
I although they are run seven hours each *
L night, they prove incapable of carrying r
' off the water as fast as necessary, and c
1 their place will be supplied with a ro- t.
tary pump, with a capacity of two hun- "
t dred and fifty gallons per minute. As I
r the shaft has to be blasted fifteen feet 1
1 in diameter in the clear, the progress is e
i necessarily quite slow, and eight men "
' have been employed at the work for "
r nearly three months. The drilling is f
all done by hand, the holes being about '1'
two feet deep. The drilling is kept up v
from bell-time in the morning till noon, ?
i when five blasts of one and a half i
. pounds of powder each are let off, one ?
after the other, and another series of *
blasts are fired at four in the afternoon.
1 Although the firing is in a hole nearly
I forty feet deep, there would be consul- *
r erable danger to passers-by and the j
workmen from flying stones, were it
not guarded against by a heavy cover- ?
1 ing of brush, which is placed overevery

which it is composed will bo welded

' eight-inch ring is added to the gun, t
1 eight inches of water will be let out of [
" the press, and the gun will, of course, ?
: drop just that distance into the shaft.
Then, when the forging is completed, 5
' and the 80,000-pound monster is ready J
^ for trimming and boring, it will be t
" tipped over a little to one side, to avoid
hitting the furnace and machinery at
' the top of the shaft, and the water will
' be let into the press, bringing the gun
' to the surface.
Summer Beverages. \
, If ice water is used, it should be be- ?
i tween meals, with an interval of a few t
" seconds after the first swallow or two. j
This is always safe, and too much can- l
. not be drank without forcing. Half a
1 glass drank thus, will satisfy more than
1 a pint if drank continuously, and without
the unpleasant sensation of fullness i
accompanying large potations. It is 1
' more healthful, and far better, to take '
r a cup of hot drink at meals than.a glass ,
of ice water ; the latter has often given J
dangerous, and even fatal chills. No 1
3 one is injured by a cup of hot ten. If ]
1 a person sits down to a meal on a hot j
day?weak and tired, and hungry and 1
3 thirsty, a glass of ice water will have j
r a delicious taste; but it endangers an i
3 ugly chill; while a cup of tea is abso- \
1 lutely reviving and invigorating, raising
? the spirits and preparing the stomach
for the reception of a hearty meal.?

The Canada Pacific Railway.
The Board of Directors at Montreal
D
iave accepted the terms of Sir Hugh b
illen for the construction of the Canada fl
'acific Railway. Assuming that thiB
ontract means business, we shall have
rithin a few years four trans-continenal
railroads north of our Mexican boun- 0!
ary?the Canadian, and our Northern, ?
Jnion Central, and Southern Pacific
oads. And there will be scope and a
erge enough for them all, for each of ?
hese lines is so far separated from the ti
iext that each will have a great section a
f the country to itself between the Ion- 11
itudinal line of the Mississippi River 0
nd the Pacific Ocean, and each will *
iave its own settlements and trade to J,
mild up en route and some advantages a
f its own on the Pacific Coast. i:
The Union Central Pacific, the pio- e
ieer line, is doing a business which 11
ught to pay handsomely; the Northern '
'acific, on the eastern division, is in *
pcration to Bismarck, far up the Mis- a
ouri River, and on the western side it d
s making good headway. The Sonth- o
rn Pacific, upon which they are at ii
rork actively, will probably be finished 0
lefore the Northern Pacific, rr within fl
he next three years. The Canadian c
oad?well, we must wait till they ac- 1
ually break ground upon it before we ti
an enter into any conjectures as to the ,
irobable time of its completion. We ti
iave no doubt, however, that Sir Hugh c
Lllen is in earnest and means to build he
road.
A Phtsician who Healed Himself
-If a railroad director were lashed to
very locomotive, there would be fewer
ailroad accidents, and if doctors had
o take their own physic before admin- j
storing it to their patients, fewer peo- e
?le would be poisoned. Dr. Joseph 8
Valker, of California, took this course c
then ho first compounded the famous F
finegar Bitters, which now ranks as an \
stimable household remedy in all parts
if the United States. He healed liim- {1
elf with this specific before he offered c
t to the world. He introduced it with ?
, simple, statement of the manner in a
rhich he'had discovered its vegetable E
ngredients and been cured, while wan- j
lering, sick and poor, among the Cali- r
ornia tribes. He stated what the 1
(reparation had done for himself and a
ew others from dyspepsia, biliousness,
heumatism, lung diseases, and many c
ither prevalent disorders, believed him,
ried the new restorative, and were
aore than satisfied with the results,
n this wav the sale of Vinegar Bitters i
icgan, and we mention the fact as an s
vidence that in this age of intelligence j
nd inquiry, nothing that is really val- v
lable to mankind can prove a pecuniary (c
ailure?even though it may lack the r
lelp of capital, and have to fight its I
ray against powerful opposing inter- 1
sts. Within two or three months after \
ts introduction, the article became self- F
unporting, and it now yields a mag- v
lincent annual revenue.?Com. c
A certain New Hampshire weekly nn- *
[ounces the startling fact that " There c
s a rich editor in New Hampshire! He
ias gained his wealth by the strictest c
jconomy. He always writes his ediorials
on a slate."

The Vital Drain. Drupjrfi
It ii necessary to the health of the body that lti and cot
Sol
ahaueted and refuted particles should be carried

try that the waate*matter thus expelled should be Write
placed by new elements derived from digested fvREA
ud assimilated foed. It is evident, therefore, that
ood digestion and perfect assimilation are etsenial
to bodily vigor; and it Is because Hostetter's SB

pinions are founded on obiervatlon, as the only gjJStQ1!
