When the Cows Come Home. Every afternoon I go down to see the coire come home. From the meadow to the milking, they come in rambling baste. Way down the shady lane a pun of dirt arises. The cloud deepens until the view is closed. "The cows are com? ing," call some one. From the rolling dust emerges the horns, the head, the flanks of a Jersey. One after another the cloud gives them forth, embodying rapidly until the herd stands revealed. Up the lane they come trooping, the dust cloud hanging about their flanks and still enveloping the centaur who speaks from the unseen with his pistol-like whip and hurries them on. A charming sight it is 1 Tudora, stately queen of the herd, leads the way. With head uplifted and swinging pace she wheels into the wide gate, the aroma of the clover hanging all about her and the peace of the meadow beaming in her eyes. After her the herd ?Jerseys ail and every one a jewel pressing in slow tumult through the gate, bringing in their rich udders the essence of the rifled pastures, as honey bees bring home the stolen sweets of the flowers. Once in the open lot the herd disperses and each cow wends hoc way to her especial stall.. Then begins the milking. Osceola, a colored man of great dignity and reserve, with his hair done up in cottonstring curl papers, is in charge of the herd. For fourteen years he has been trusted and found worthy. He has his assistants, who place the huge milk cans, each with its strainer, at convenient intervals through the barn. The assistants then with cans of clear water wash the dusty udders and respectfully retire. Then Osceola's time has come. Adjusting his . white apron he leaves the crowd, whose questions he has been answering with caution and hauteur, and seats himself by the side of the first cow in the ?rst row. Milk ? Well, I just wish vou could see him! With two sinewy hands and a rotary motion, the head.th rown back, the foot beating time, and the milk fairly hissing into the pail, in two. big streams. Three minutes to the cow, and with fine energy and abstraction he nnves from one stall to another, .filling the" big milk cans as he goes. Picking oct a half dozen Tavorite cowb he milked thirteen and a half gallons in fifteen minutes, on a test, and somehow or other 'left the impression that he hadn't half done his best. From 100 to 110 gallons is a day's milking, and it is cow's milk, too, '.and not milkman's milk.?Henry W. Cfrady in the Atlanta Constitution. ? ' A Marvelous little Stream; At a distance of thirty miles South of the Siver Diamante our route passed by a natural object of considerable interest ?a stream, or rather rill, of yellowish white fluid like petroleum isssuing from the mountain side at a considerable height and trickling down the slope till -* lost in the porous soil of the valley be? low. The source from which it flowed was at the junction where a hard met amorphic rock, interspersed"with 'small crystals of agnite, overlay a stratum or volcanic tuff. It was formed like the crater of a volcano and full of black, bituminous matter, hot and sticky, which could be stirred up to the depth of about eighteen inches. Floundering in it was a polecat or skunk (Mepheti3 variansl, having been enticed to its fate by the desire of secur? ing a bird caught in the natural bird lime, till a bullet from: the revolver of j one of the party terminated the. skunk's struggle to exterminate itself from the warm and adhesive bath in which it was hopelessly held captive. The overflow from this fountain was, a described, like a stream of petroleum two or three feet wide trickling over a bed of pitch or some such sobstauce, which extended to a much greater width along the edge of j the running stream ;ifc its contact , with it. This material was of a very sticky nature, becoming ?radually harder as it spread further out, assuming the appear? ance of asphalt when it became mingled with the loose sand of the adjoining soil. While engaged in examining this natural curiosity, we came upon two small birds, caught in the sticky sub? stance at the edge of the stream j they were still alive, but upon releasing them both the feathers and the skin came off | where they had come in contact with the bituminous matter, so that we had to kill them to pat an end to their suffer? ings. No doubt they had been taken in by the appearance of water which the stream presented and had alighted to drink, when they discovered their mis? take too late. Their fate suggested the idea that in a district so devoid of water others of the feathery tribes most con? stantly become victims to the same delusion in a similar manner, and upon a close inspection of the margin of the stream the correctness of this inference was established by the discovery of numerous skeletons of birds imbedded in it; nor were those of small quadrupeds unrepresented among which we recog? nized the remains of a fox.?From Across the Pampas and the Andes.

There is a vast bed of rock salt in the Colorado Desert, near Idaho, and the Southern Pacific Railroad, in laying the track to the salt mine, has been obliged to grade the road for 1,200 feet with blocks of these beautiful lumps of salt crystals. This is the first instance of a railroad roadbed being laid and ballas? ted on salt. The sea that once rolled over this place dried up, and left a vast bed of salt about fifty miles in length. Slow, but Sure. The old Hebrew idea of a man of honor is set forth in tho Psalmist's words: "He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not." We express the same idea by our phrase; "His word is as good/ as his bond." A man who would merit the applica? tion of these epithets to himself should: be careful to need these old sayings: "Make few promises," and: "Never promise more than you are able to per? form." There are men of business, men among those that scorn to tell a lie, deliberately,, who seldom heed this wise advice. They allow the press of business, or the desire to retain an impatient customer, to tempt them to make promises which they are unable to keep either to the ear or to the, hope. Such men generally find .that: their expedients stamp them as unrelia? ble. In the long run, the man who. is cautious in promising, but faithful in performance, is the one whom success welcomes. A few years ago, a lad entered a print? ing office in England, as an apprentice. He was slow in his movements and the irritated foreman often scolded hitrTfori not working rapidly. During a rush of work, th? foreman would call out, impatiently: {i "Bob, how soon will you have thaW [job done?" ? "In an hour, sir," would be the calm but provoking reply. The other boys, when asked a similar question, would reply: "In a few minutes, sir," and thereby soothe the impatience of the hurrying foreman. But the overseer waB not blind, though he r/?s nervous and a "driver." He noticed that Bob's job was alwayafinished at the promised time. The other boys, ou the contrary, were never up to time; for their "almost ready,sir," meant noth? ing more than their anxiety to avoid a scolding. The result was that Bob became the trusted boy of the office,-and was allowed to take his own time in working out his task. He carried out this plan of doing exaCtljf'whaThe said he wbuTofalong with bim when, he wcs promoted. To day the slow boy "of ten years ago is the foreman of the; office and oversees" one hundred ?menr^'fcftrfA's. OompafHorii i Devastating Power of the, Locnst. I A' swarm'of these 'insects' stopped the advance of a Russian army. They filled :the air and blinded both officers and men, I so that the former could give no order, "and even/if'they "had HoW bo the men could not have obeyed them. The horses would not face them and they Tay on the ground, many inches .thick. Every man and horse in the army' was encrusted with the insects and their clothing was literal i Iy eaten off the men as they stood help? less and blind. The railways were use? less as the locust covered the rails and the oil which exuded from their bodies when crushed prevented the driving wheel from "biting." After they settled whole regiments were detached for'pur? pose' of (rampling tKem "to death. Trenches were aug across their path and ?He 1 with burning coals but the crowd? ing .mamps actually smothered the fire so vast were their number. Even i little island like Cyprus, in 18S2 one fifth of the "Inlire revenue was spent in destroying' tho locust and especially their eggs. When these eggs are laid they are enclosed in a horny envelope called a 'pod,'', eackjjod containing thirty-five eggs'. Iq seven months 1,330 tons of pods were destroyed. Now a single fort of pods contained 60,000,000 eggs and'vet in spite of tbiB almost incredible destruc? tion the locusts are still dreaded plagues and show little if any symptoms, of diminution in numbers: The Arabs Bay that the dark mottling upon the wings of the locusts are ancient Arabic and their I signification is a? follows: "We are the army of the great God. Each of us lay ninety-nine eggs. If we laid the hnndredth we should destroy the world." Not long ago I saw^a letter from ^.gen? tleman over whose properly a locust swarm had passed. He said that in the morning his garden was a paradise. In the after? noon it was all blackened and withered I as if a fire had swept over it. Uncon? sciously he used the very same image which the prophet Joel employed some 2,600 years ago. "A fire devourethjbefore them and behind them a flame burneth; there is the Garden of Eden before them and behind them a desolate wilderness." _ ^ . v a 3 \ * ) \ The Maddest Woman in Boston.

TUTTS MANUAL OF USEFUL RECEIPTS FREE When We Grow. Some interesting results have been yielded by the investigation concerning human growth, which have been made by a committee of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. It is shown that, growth is most rapid during the first five years of life, when both sexes grow alike, the boys being a little taller and heavier than the girls. Prom five to ten the boys grow a little faster than the girls, but from ten to fifteen the girls grow the faster, and between the ages of eleven and a half and fourteen -sod a half are actually taller than the boys, while from twelve and a half to fifteen and a half they are heavier. The boys then take the lead, growing at first rapidly but afterwards slower, and com? plete their growth at about the twenty third year; while girls grow very slowly after fifteen, and reach their full statue at about the twentieth year. It is gen? erally supposed that "grown up" people 'do hot increase in height, but these re ! searches appear to show that men gain slowly in statue until their fiftieth year, and make a more rapid increase in weight up to the age of sixty. Statistics are too Incomplete to" determine the growTh of women, after .the age of twenty-three. < >j=-A^New York^coTresT^iwJent says : )"The mosltanterratfiig tbingjf hiive heard "lately atirmYMni."

The two central depots are at Paris and Langres. Com? munication with Toul, Verdun and Mezieres will.be made from Paris, while the Southeastern groups of fortresses, Belfort, Dijon, Besancon and Lyons, will be connected by the serial messen? gers with Langres. Constant communi? cation will be had between the two main stations. The^greatest distance between any two places in direct communication will not:exceed 285 kilometres or fifty four miles, and as the average swiftness of a carrier pigeon is about S00 metres or one-half a mile a minute,,the longest of.'these military journeys can be accom? plished in about five hours.

The gentleman who outlines his caso below is a man considerably advanced in life,.and is noted for his uterling integrity. His Postoffice is Yatea ville, Upson County, Ga. The following is Mr. John Pearson's Statement: In tb'3 Spring of 1882 I was attacked with a very bad cough, which continued to grow worse until fall, when I got so weak that I could not get about. I tried a great many kinds of medicine but continued to grow worse. I was notified that I had consumption and would probably die. Dr. Holloway finally told me to try Brewer's LungRe? storer. They sent to Ward's Storo and got a bottle and I commenced ttking it right.away. After tak? ing two or three doses, I began to improve, and by the tim} I had used up one bottle I was able to get on my J'eet again. I am now in excellent health. I am confident that the Lung Restorer saved my life and my neighbors arc of the same opinion. It is the best Lung Remedy ever made in my opin? ion. Dr. H. promised me that he would write to the maufacturers and tell them of the wonderful cure It made in my case. Statement of Mr. Benj. H. Hearndon; Early in November, 1881, while sewing on the machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in her side, which was soon followed by hemorrhages1 from her lungs and a severe-cough. Fever com? menced, she could neither eat or sleep, and in a few wei.'ks she was reduced to a living skeleton. The attending physician told me that he thought one of her lungs was entirely gone. She could not retain the most delicate nourishment on her stom? ach. I then agreed with Dr. Sullivan, my family physician, to call Dr. Holloway in consultation. They made a final examination of the patient and pronounced the case hopeless. Dr. Holloway then suggested the Brewer's Lung Restorer as a last lesort. I sent for a bottle ana gave her a dose. I found t!iat she could retain it on her stomach, and after about the third dose, I began to notice some improvement in her condition. I continued the medicine regularly, and by the timo she bad taken two bottles, she was able to walk about the house. She is now in belter health than sbe has enjoyed for several years. I believe the Lung Restorer saved her life. We have a feniily of six childron, some of them grown." Mr. Hearndon's Postoflico is Yatesville, Upson County, Ga. He is a thoroughly reliable man in every particular. Lung Restorer for sale by Wilhite A WHhite, Druggists, Anderson, S. C. March Hi, lf84-35-eow C. H. ORli, ATTOKNEY AT LAW, ANDERSON, S. C.
