TOO SOFT OF HEART.
A tender-hearted North Carolina judge
of "ye olden time," seeing that the evi- ;
dence was strongly against a young fellow 1
who was being tried before him for his
life, and dreading to pronounce the sen- (
tence which he felt to be inevitable, left the ,
court-room under some pretext, to which. ,
he presently returned fortified with several
strong drinks.
It chanced that the judge took more than 1
he intended of the intoxicating beverage, !
and when the jury (greatly to the surprise
of every one) brought in a verdict of "Not
- guilty f" he was slumbering heavily upon
the bench, and had to be aroused in order
to hear the decision. i
With his mind still full of the dread
AVhich had overwhelmed him, and utterly
unable, in the bewildered state of his 1
brain, to take in the altered condition of |

himself: "Jones," he said, solemnly,
speaking in the nasal tone peculiar to him,
and brushing an imaginary insect from 1
his nose, as was his custom when under
the influence of strong feeling, "it now
becomes my painful duty?"
"Your Honor?" putin one of the jury.
"I beg, Mr. Robinson," replied the
judge, "that you will not interrupt me.
Mr. Jones," he continued, turning to the
prisoner, "I knew your father, sir, an eminently
respectable and respected citizen,
who little thought that his son would
come to the disgraceful end which is to be
yours, for you are to be hanged by the
neck, sir?"
"Your Honor," Robinson said again,
almost imploringly, "permit me to explain?"
"Mr. Robinson," replied the judge, "I
must insist that you do not interrupt me
again" (striking at the imaginary fly)
"while I am performing the most solemn
duty, sir, that belongs to my office. Mr.
Jones" (turning again to the prisoner), "I
know, sir, that this sentence, which I feel
constrained to pronounce, is breaking the
heart of your poor old mother there,"
"pointing to the wife of the murdered
man2 who, sitting somewhat apart, was
looking daggers at the jury), "and, sir,
bringing her gray hairs in sorrow to the
grave. For you are to be hanged, sirto
be?"
"S.," broke in Robinson, unable to contain
himself any longer, and dropping the
judicial title in his desperation; "you are
making a fool of yourself. The jury has
brought in a verdict of "Not guilty!'"
The Wrong Days.?Kenneth, aged
six, and Phillip, his brother, two years
older, asked permission of their mother to
go out for a little walk on Sunday afternoon.
"Yes, you may go," she said, "if you
will not forget that it is Sunday, and will
walk quietly, as you should."
The hoys went out, and returned soon.
"O mamma," said Kenneth, running to
his mother, "Phillips didn't do at all as
you said. He acted just like Monday and
Tuesday all the time."

JACK TAR'S PETS.
"Where's Jim ?"
"On the spar-deck, I suppose. Hey, Jim,
Jim !"
A sleek black cat leaped from the top ol
one of the ten-pounders on the United
States corvette Kearsage and scampered
below in answer to the call of a grizzled old
sailor.
"Jim" is the ship's pet. Every man-ofwar
has its pet, and for two years a big
black cat has filled the place in the affections
of the sailors on the Kearsage. Jim
went to South America with the ship.
"That cat," said Capt. Horace Elmer
before the ship left the dock, "will do more
to keep the men contented than anything
I can do. The mere fact that Jim, as the
men call him, is given permission to have
the run of the ship delights the men. They
have trained him, and during leisure moments
they watch his antics with pleasure."

monkey. He is a frisky youngster and an
expert climber. He can get to the top of
the mainmast in less than twenty seconds
if he is feeling firstrate. The monkey has
been trained to play tricks on the crew.
He has a funny way of tickling the ear of
a sleeping sailor with the end of his tail.
If anyone loses a plug of tobacco it can
generally be found hidden in the rigging.
When the hiding place is discovered the
monkey breaks out into a chatter that
shows how he appreciates the fun.
A very fat rattlesnake, about four feet
long and as lazy as an alligator, used to be
the pet on the United States survey steamer
Blake. The snake was called Wrig, and
it spent most of its time in the engine room.
When Jacob Harsen was assistant engineer,
the snake used to watch his movements
with great interest, and frequently
it would follow Harsen as he moved from
one part of the shij) to another. Wrig got
caught in the machinery some time ago and
was bruised so badly that he died. The
body was dropped overboard with mock
ceremony.
Billy, the goat, was the pet of the Galena
for nearly two years. During that period
he never left the ship. When the ship
was in port the sailors would take turns
getting grass and clover for the goat, and
they always got a goodly supply ahead
when it was known that the ship would
soon sail. Some time ago, through the
strategy of certain members of the crew
who had been detailed to the Baltimore,
Dilly was smuggled away from the Galena
and to the Baltimore.
A pair of white rats have the run of the
Monongahela. They have been aboard
ship for nearly a year. For some reason
the smaller of the two rats has stood in
wholesome fear of Lieutenant Commander
Gibson. Whenever the officer appeared
the rat would crouch in a dark corner in
terror. Both of the rats were on very
friendly terms with Lieutenant Dix Bolles.
"Vnn rwio-ht bpp the rata run a race on

the main deck," said an old sailor. "We
get them in trim for a race by offering them
a small piece of cheese, and then talcing a
larger piece forward. Two of the boys
hold the rats, and at the word go they get
under way and go scampering down. The
first rat to reach the cheese gets it."
A game cock was the pet of the boys on
the Charleston until recently. It was
trained to crow every time the ship's bell
struck, and it did it most lustily.
The Enterprise has a black cat aboard. It
is the best fighter of any cat in the service,
so the trainer says.
There is a parrot on the Chicago that can

POOR GUESS WORK.
Down town on a side street there is a
small barber shop. In it is a young barber.
He is an assistant and his name is
Guess. He has been employed there only
a few days, but he came very near losing
his job on account of his name, too.
The proprietor of the shop was in when
the young man applied for work. He liked
his appearance, was satisfied with the
amount of pay he was to receive, and engaged
him.
"What is your name?" inquired the
boss.
"Guess," was the reply.
"I'm a poor hand at guessing names,"
replied the boss, but still he began trying.
"Well, he said, "perhaps it may be
Schmidt."
"No," said the young man quietly, but
none the less deliberately, "Guess."
"Lutz," ventured the doss.
"No," responded the young man, with a
smile, "Guess."
"Huber," retured the boss, desperately.
The young man shook his head, and
again replied with emphasis, "Guess."
Then the boss showed signs of fatigue
and anger.
"See nere young fellow, if you can't answer
a civil question, I think you had better
look elsewhere for a job. Now, sir, I
am in no humor for trifling; what is your
name ?"
"George Guess."
Now it happened that the boss's first
name was George, and naturally he thought
the young man was still amusing himsell
in a most unusual fashion.
"Say," he roared, in deep base tones,
"this has gone far enough. If you will
not tell me your name you'll have to get
out, that's all there is to it."
"I have told you several times that my
name is Guess, and also declared to you
that my first name was George. If that
doesn't satisfy you, I'm afraid nothing
ever will."
Then the boss penetrated the mystery,
and made ample apologies, and Mr. Guess
was duly assigned to a chair.?[N. Y. Star.
A Good Custom Dying Out.?The excellent
custom of having the children and
young people of our church commit portions
of Scripture and hymns to memory,
seems to have utterly died out. It is true
they are asked for the golden text at Sabbath
school, but even that is rarely ever
thoroughly committed. It is more often
read from the lesson paper. Some people
discourage the practice, claiming that the
?u:i,i 1,1 ?n?,i il
CU11U &UUUIU 11KJI uc lllicu niVU nuav 11
cannot understand and digest, etc. This is
certainly a mistake. We fully believe the
former custom of having children commit
portions of the Bible, and choice hymns
of the church, to be wholesome mental discipline,
as well as spiritually profitable.
The youthful mind, stored with divine
truth so tersely expressed in the English
Bible, has a store house of comfort to draw
from in time of need.
These verses are the weapons of the Holy
Spirit to combat Satan. Should misfortune
or sickness overtake an individual whose
mind is stored with this precious truth,
how comforting to have such to meditate
upon, when perhaps his strength will not
allow a friend to read to him! A man is
frequently in situations where he has no
reading, no one to converse with, nothing
but his own thoughts. How happy if,
like David, he can have the truth of God
to meditate upon in the watches of the
night.?[New York Evangelist.
8^s It costs money to die in France. After

In this country the cost of embalming is
from twenty-five to fifty dollars, but over
there they pretend to understand processes
approaching in effectiveness those of the
ancient Egytians. No private individual
in France is permitted to engage in the undertaking
business. It is the same way

HUW TO SOFTEN IIAK1) TIMES.
There is a general hue and cry of agricultural
depression and hard times among the
farmers. Over production, poor markets
: and low prices, until they feel they are on
the verge of financial ruin.
A farmer who seemed to feel no effect of
. the symptoms of financial disease, when
asked why he did not, replied, "I have always
something to sell; I never take an
inferior article to market; I always give
good weight and good measure," consequently
I always find a ready market at
paying prices for my produce."
Now this farmer Is doing no more than
you or I can do if we will put the same
vim and amount of brains in our business
that he does.
There is great advantage to the farmer to
have something to sell at all times. The
reader may scoff the idea, but I believe
that little "dribs" have ruined more farmers
than great things. The farmer can see
readily the danger of great debts, but does
11A+ nntioo liftlo nnou T L'nnW tn llttVe
something for market of choice quality, requires
care and forethought; really, it requires
more forethought than labor. I
have watched the markets, and have seen
produce of choice quality find a ready sale,
when it was entirely glutted with produce
of common quality.
But some men are too proud to market
small articles of produce ; some have not
time, they think, while others are too indolent
and neglectful of business. Most
every farmer has to visit his town once a
week to purchase something for his family.
Many rather keep an account at the store
than to be troubled with small markets. I
know a man who is making farming pay,
who always carries something to sell every
time he goes to town. On publiJHlays he
takes a nice bucket of butter on one arm
and a basket of eggs on the other, which
will pay for his iamily needs that day.
His more aristocratic neighbor goes too,
but is too proud to carry anything to sell,
therefore he is compelled to pay cash or go
on "tick." Another goes, but has no time
to take anything to sell, but goes and
spends the day buying his family supplies
on credit. Both these men lost the day as
well as the first one did, but returned home
two or three dollars deeper in debt, and at
the end of the year, on delivering their
cotton, are greatly surprised to find their
accounts nearly equal or more than their
cotton brought them, while the first man
has nearly as much cotton as they, but his
little markets paid his way, and, therefore,
his cotton money goes into his pocket, to
meet losses and soften hard times.
The farmer could and should buy by barter
almost entirely; the little crops and resources
of the farm should be so diversified
that there may be something to sell each
week, enough at least to purchase the little
necessaries of family consumption.^ There
are but few farmers that do not keep a few
cows and farm fowls, that, if they are anyways
cared for, will give a surplus of butter
and eggs. If there is no market for milk
it can be given to pigs, which can be
brought into market at paying figures. A
good poultry yard well-cared for will turn
out eggs to sell all the time, with an occasional
broiler, and a few turkeys for thanksgiving
and for Christmas holidays. A
good garden will always produce semething
for market. A good orchard of well
selected fruit will, a good portion of the
time, produce something, either green or
1 dried, for market. If the farmer will provide
these things, his wife will, and beglad
of the chance, nave it in marketable shape
every time you want to go to town. In
fa'ct, I believe it would be well for the farmer
to market at least twice a week, unless
he lives too far, whether his family need
supplies or not. He can thus gain a surplus
for a "rainy day." Every farmer ought
to try to bring his farm to produce some
article outside of the staple crops, and so
instead of always going in debt, pay as he
goes, he would have no need of complaint,
pr feel a depression and hard times.?[Thos.

of seasoning. The reason for this is plain.
If the boards be sawn from the side of a log,
the grain rings of the wood lie in circles,
which have a greater length on one than
upon the other side of the board. A boatd
cut from the very centre of a log lias grain
circles of equal length upon each side, and
will lie perfectly flat when seasoned.
"When selecting the lumber for a tool
chest, or some other fine job, pick out
boards which show that they came as near
as possible from the centre of the log. A
method is in use which compensates for
this tendency to curl in seasoning. This
is known as quarter sawing, and quartered
oak, of which so much is said at present,
is sawn by this process.
It consists in cutting out boards radially
from the centre of the.outside of the log.
Suppose a log is split into four pieces, each
> of these pieces is sawn diagonally, so that
the grain rings run through instead of the
circles running into, part way through and
out upon the same side of the board.
Quarter sawn lumber will not warp in

changes of weather. It has the disadvantage
of being more expensive, as in sawing
; each quarter a narrow board is first taken
i off, then one a little wider. The boards
" increase in width until the middle of the
quarter is reached, making the widest
, board equal to half the diameter of the
1 tree. The narrow boards may be glued
< up into wide strips, but that shows considerable
sap, and they cannot be used in
some kinds of work,
i To prove that the circles of sap rings
i cause curling during the seasoning pro;
cess, it is only necessary to take such curled
boards and wet the concave side, or apply
heat to the convex side. If each or
> both be done, the boards will straighten
out forthwith. This method is often taken
advantage of by carpenters in working
twisted or warped boards. The sea[
soiling process is also controlled by fre
quently turning boards over so that each
side may receive just enough heat and air
> to keep the boards fiat.?[Wood Worker.
Remedy for Cramps.?There isnothi
ing easier than to make the spasm let go

out sending for a doctor who may be tired
; and in need of a good night's rest. When
i I have a patient who is subject to cramp, I

i if nothing else is handy. When the cramp
comes on, take the cord| wind it around

the cramp will cease, and the sufferer
can go to bed assured it will not come

A LITERARY TREAT AND EVERY ONE i
IS YOUR LIFE INSURED?
j
HAVE you any assurance as to how long
you will be spared to provide a support
for your family? If you should bo called
away by death to-morrow would you leave
those who now look to you for a support, in a
a condition to meet their necessary wants, or
would they be thrown on the charity of a cold
world ?
?*
Are you struggling to make both ends meet,
and if you are, do you think you will beable to
lay up any considerable amount for the benefit
of your family in case death should overtake
you?
Don't you thinkMt would be wise for you to
take out a policy in tho American Legion of
Honor for the benefit of thoso who are dependent
upon you for a support? You cannot
shovel darkness out of a room, but you can
drive out the darkness by letting in the light.
So, that in that hour of extremest anguish,
when the hand of death has been laid upon the
head of the family, you cannot alleviate the
suffering of the wife and of the children; but
i you can avert the awful agony of despair as to
i "the future, when you come to that widowed
wife and that desolate hearthstone with the
contributious from the policy of life insurance,
which at least enables that widowed wife to
know that for the few years of the future, by
that contribution, she can keep under her own
watchful and motherly, eye the little children
God has given to her, until they grow up to
voars when they can go out into the arena of
life and tight life's battles for themselves.
I
?*?
The shrewdest business men aro among the
warmest ad vocates of pu re life insurance, while
those who rail against it are generally persons
who are physically unable to obtain insurance,
or too selfish to pay for what they themselves
cannot enjoy ; or as they frequently express it,
"are adverse to play in a game where they
have to die to win."
The Legion of Honor is as solid as rock, and
furnishes insurance at actual cost. It meets its
obligations with promptness. Since its organization
in 187S it has paid about 317,250,000
to the widows anu orpnans 01 ueceasou mombeia.
Think of the vast amount of good that
has been accomplished by thi* large sum of
money. Doubtless in thousands of cases actual
sutfering^ias been prevented.
A policy in the American Legion of Honor
is the cheapest and safest mode of making provision
for one's family.
Death comes to the cottage and the palace;
.claiming all times and ail seasons as his own ;
striking down the strong man and the weak,
and tho wise man will make provision for the
coming of tLat certain but unwelcome visitor.
