"I won't be trampled on by Seth Stubbleficld no longer I" sputtered Farmer Grigsby, in a towering rage. "I'll hcv the law of him, that's what I'll do r Mrs. Grigsby was washing clothes in the back yard, where a bent and gnarled old apple tree made a ?hady spot for her tub. "What has Seth Stubblcfield been a-doin' now, Hiram ?" ?hc asked in a querulous voice. "What's he been a-doing ?" snatch? ed the farmer. "Ain't his cows been tromplin my cornfield again, an' runia ted more'n a acre of corn ? Pretty nigh ready for the second plowin', it was, too! But I'll put a stop to it afore long. Human natur' can't stand everything, an' if he don't fix up his end of the division fence, or keep his cattle out o' my field, 111 sue him ! I'll sue him :?er damages as sure as eggs is eggs 1" "It's no more'n you'd ought to a done long ago," assented Mrs. Grigs? by, clapping a handful of soft soap on a homespun sheet, and rubbing it vigorously on the wooden washboard. "You've been too easy with him, Hiram." "I shan't be easy with him no lon? ger," asserted Hiram, aggressively. "I shall go an' see Squire Barnacle this very day." And, striding to the stable, he sad? dled the sorrel cob,"?hd proceeded to put his threat into execution, while his anger wa3 still at fever heat. It was not .very hong, since the Grigsbys and StubbleficlaV had been the best of friends "and neighbors Scarcely a-week elapsed without a visit between the two families. Hiram Grigsby and Seth Stubble field exchanged work at corn planting and harvest-time, and their wives con? sulted each other on such momentous questions as soft soap or apple butter making, and the relative merits of Plymouth Rock and Black Spanish fowls as layers and setters. Tom Grigsby and Seth Stubblefield, well-grown lads of sixteen and seven? teen years of age, had been chums ever since they were "little chicks." They attended "deestrict Bchool" together in winter, and went gunning or fishing, and helped each other pile shocks in the harvest field in summer. The daughters of the two families were also on the best of terms. They exchanged patchwork scraps and bas? que patterns confided important secrets to one another, and were, in fact, kindred spirits in every respect. This friendly interqourse continued until the feud broke out, and all neigh? borly feeling was at an end. How the trouble began, or which party was most to blame, it would be hard to say. Doubtless there was some fault on both sides. At all events, the hatchet was dug up, and hostilities were carried on, until, from sympathizing friends, the two families became relentless ene? mies. A system of "mark and reprisal" was soon established, which caused the breach to grow wider and wider? a sort of "Tit for tat, butter is fat, If you kill my dog, I'll kill your cat" arrangement, sometimes indulged in by "growti-up" folks as well as chil? dren. ? Father Grigsby fenced up the little pool which ran from his spring, and from which his neighbor's stock had been wont to quench their thirst for years gone by. Farmer Stubblefield at once retalia? ted by blocking the private road through his woods pasture, thereby forcing the Grigsbys to drive two miles further around iu hauling cord wood, or taking their garden truck to mar? ket. The well-trodden footpath aorosB lots was neglected and grassgrown, and when the rival factions met at church meetings, or basket pic nics and other rural gatherings, they turn? ed their heads aside, or glared at one another with uncompromising hos? tility. So the feud kept growing, uetil at last it culminated in a lawsuit. "He'll sue me, will he ?" blustered Farmer Stubblefield, red with anger. "Let him go ahead, 1 say. He'll find out two kin play that game. I don't care if my cattle did tromp down his I growin' corn. What 'd he turn his pigs inter my medder fur ?" "I'd make him smoke fur it yet, if I was you. Seth," put in Mrs. Stub? blefield. - He 'lows he kin soare yon by goin' to law." 1 'That's what I know.'' replied Seth, grumpily. "But he'll haul in his horns before Fur through with him. I'll show him whose old hog eat up the grindstone." It was early in the spring-time when the suit was brought, but owing to the law's delays it was still unsettled when harvest time came on. Farmer Grigsby's crops had turned out well that year. His hay was put up in long racks in the barnyard, where his wheat was also stacked, awaiting the coming "thrasher." On a certain Saturday Mrs. Grigsby and her daughters were busy with the week's baking. Half a dozen pigs, a gallon jar of seed-cookies, and a goodly supply of light rolls and crusty brown loaves had already been drawn from the oven and set on the wide pantry shelf to cool. A home-cured ham was gently sim? mering over the stove, and the 12 J o'clock dinner was under way. Farmer Grigsby sat moodily await? ing the coming meal, when Tom Grigsby dashed into the house. "Forest fires I" he shouted. "The fence has caught, an' it's most up to the stacks !" In a moment all was confusion. The farmer seized a spade and rushed to the scene of his crops. His wife and daughters eagerly fol? lowed each armed with a stout cudgel, to assist in battling with the devour? ing element. For weeks there had been a drought, leaving the grass and underbush as dry as tinder. The flames swept rapidly forward. Rail fences and fallen brushwood crackled in the fierce heat. Bravely the anxious family fought for their possessions, only to be baf? fled and driven back by the relentless flames. Overcome at last by exhaustion and despair, Farmer Grigsby dropped his weapon and groaned aloud : "The crops must go 1" he sighed, hopelessly. "I am a ruined man. If we can save the ole homestead, it's more'n I expect." But even as he spoke, an encourag? ing shout was heard from the deserted footpath, which led "across lots." "Keep a stout heart neighbor. We'll see you through !" Every eye turned in the direction of the cheery sound, to behold the stal? wart figure of Seth Stubblefield hurry? ing forward, a stout spade on his shoulder. At his heels came his son, Ben, carrying a long-handled shovel, and following closely after him were Mrs. Stubblefield and Susan, the one bran? dishing a rake and the other a hoe. New strength was infused into the Grigsby family by this timely rein forcement, and all hands fell to work to baffle the advancing enemy. The men with their spades beat out every fresh blaze made by the.spread? ing flames. The boys tore down the endangered fences, and carried the rails out of harm's way. The rake and hoe, in the hands of the women, were used to good advan? tage in drawing dead leaves and other debris away from the line of the en? croaching fire ; and the girls brought water around in tin pails, and handed dripping gourdfuls of the refreshing clement to the thirsty, perspiring workers. Their heroic efforts were crowned with victory at last. The oersistent foe was conquered, with no more seri our loss than the destruction oi.' a few rods of rail fence. "An' we'll turn in an' give ye a rail-splittin' to make them good," volunteered Farmer Stubblefield. "An' now your wheatstacks an' hayricks is safe, neighbor, I reckon we mny's well be gittin' along," he added, mopping his face. "If you'd only 'a' blowed the horn, to let us know you was in trouble, we'd 'a' got here sooner. But, an)iiow, the dan? ger's all over now. ' "Yes, thanks to you, old friend," answered Hiram Grigsby, in a stifled voice, "I hadn't theright to expect no help from you, after bein' so mean as to sue you?" "Pooh! pooh! I'd 'a' been meaner'n pusley if I'd stood by . an' saw your crops burnt up. An' you done right to sue me. I'd ought to keep my part o' the fence up," confessed Farmer Stubblefield, eagerly. "But I'll pay all the damages my cattle has done in your corn field. An' I'll?" "You won't?you shan't!" inter? rupted Hiram. "They hain't done no damage, an' I won't hev a cent?" Here the worthy farmer broke down. His feelings choked further utterance, and grasping the hand of his late enemy, he gave it a hearty shake, which was quite as heartily returned. "I'll Bell every hoof o' stock on my farm but what I'll keep 'em from tromplin' on your corn!" declared Seth, recklessly. - "Blamed if I care what they trom ple on; so youau' me air friends ag'in ' like we used to be!" responded Hiram. Here Mrs. Grigsby spoke up. "You ain't a one o' you going home without your dinners !" she asserted, determinedly. "So come right along to the house an' set awhile." And her command was obeyed with? out a word of dissent. Mrs. Stubblefield insisted on lend? ing her aid in the kitchen, where she was soon enjoying a gossip with her old neighbor, while the girls fell to setting the table, with much clatter? ing of dishes and also chattering of tongues. The heads of the reunited families sat on the vine-shaded porch, content? edly discussing the price of wheat and hay, and the two boys, overjoyed at the new turn of affairs, celebrated the happy occasion by swapping jack knives. The pies and seed-cookies and boil? ed ham, intended for the Sunday din? ner, were not spared in the forthcom? ing meal, and if the table did not groan under its burden of good cheer it was only because groans would have been out of place on such a festive oc? casion. And thus ended Farmer Grigsby's lawsuit. Trees as Historians. ? It has been found that the rings of growth visible in the trunk of trees have a far more interesting story to tell than has usually been supposed. Everybody knows that they indicate the number of years that the tree has lived, but J. Keuchler, of Texas, has recently made experiments and obser? vations which seem to show that trees carry in their trunks a record of the weather conditions that have prevailed during the successive years of their growth. Several trees, each more than 130 years old, werj felled, and the order and relative width of the rings of growth in their trunks were found to agree exactly. This fact showed that all the trees had experienced the same stimulation in certain years and the same retarda? tion in other years. Assuming that the most rapid growth had occurred in wet years, and the least rapid in dry years, it was concluded that out of the 130 years covered by the life of the trees sixty had been very wet, six ex? tremely wet, eighteen wet, seventeen average as to the supply of. moisture, nineteen dry, eight very dry and six extremely dry . But when the records of rainfall,* running back as far as 1840, were con? sulted, it was found that they did not all agree with the record of the trees. 'Still it could not be denied that the rings in the trunks told a true story of the weather influences which had af? fected the trees in successive years. The conclusion was therefore reach? ed that the record of the rings con? tained more than a mere index of the annual rainfall ; that it showed what the character or the seasons had been as to sunshine, temperature, evapora? tion, regularity or irregularity of the supply of moisture, and the like ; in short, that the trees contained, indeli? bly imprinted in their trunks, more than 100 years of nature's history, a history which we might completely decipher if we could but look upon the face of nature from a tree's point of view. A Protection Against Dogf, A Saratoga county clergyman has discovered a method of protection against the attacks of strange dogs. He was walking a street one day when a large and apparently ferocious canine came toward him growling and show? ing his teeth and otherwise giving evidence of a disposition to do him bodily harm. All attempts to drive the animal away proved futile. At last a happy idea struck the reverend gentleman and he proceeded to put it into execution. He carried an um? brella, which he opened suddenly in the face of the dog. The belligerent attitude of the dog changed instantly and, putting his tail between his legs he slunk away. Whenever after that the clergyman was compelled to pass that spot and the dog was in ev? idence, the latter kept at a safe dis? tance and never even so much as barked or growled at the passerby. The clergyman has tried the experi? ment with many other dogs since that time and he reports that it has never failed to put the animals to flight, no matter how ugly they appear to be.

The Poultry Indastry in China. The breeding and rearing of fowls is an important industry in China, as they form a very considerable portion of the daily food of the better class of the people. The United States consul at Chin-kiang says that the varieties of fowls arc few in number. Tho principal arc the Yangchow fowl, a large bird of good flavor, which weighs from four to six pounds. This varie? ty is a good layer and sitter, the eggs being of a brownish tinge and good size. It lays, during eight or nine months of the year, about 200 eggs, ceasing only in the hot summer months. This description is kept more for the table than for laying purposes, as its flesh is particularly good. The Langshan fowl' is a dis? tinct and fairly pure breed from the Yangtze River, region just below Chin-kiang. It is a large, heavy, handsome bird, weighing from seven to eight pounds. The eggs arc of darkish brown, and of good size. The Black Bone or Typhoon chicken is a distinct fancy breed. In color it is white, and its skin, legs, bones, flesh and comb are very dark. The flesh of this fowl is much esteemed, and, boiled down into soup, it is prescribed by physicians for certain diseases. The Chow is auother variety. This breed is small, weighing gcn?rally from two to three pounds. A pure white cock of this breed is always carried on the coflfin at a native funeral cortege, and is sacrificed at the grave. Also on native boats a cock bird is killed on the Chinese New Year's day, and the blood sprinkled on the bow to propitiate evil spirits, and to insure good luck during the year. Ducks are reared in great quantities, and are largely used as food, both fresh and salted. They are all artificially hatched, as the duck is an uncertain sitter. The common duck is a good sized bird, weighing, when dressed for the table, three or four pounds, and is much esteemed for the excel? lence of its flavor. After fledging, the birds are driven about in vast flocks through canals, and from pond to pond, where they find their food. They are brought under strict disci? pline, and obey their keeper's cail with extraordinary intelligence. The Mandarin duck is smaller than the common duck, and is a beautiful bird, with diversified and brilliant plumage. It is reared chiefly for its beauty. In the grounds of the wealthy there is always an artificial lake, where the Mandarin duck is kept. They are considered as emblems of conjugal fidelity, and a pair of them usually form a part of wedding processions. Preserved ducks' eggs are considered a delicacy, and always form an impor? tant part of a mandarin dinner. The process of preserving them is as fol? lows: A lye of beanstalk and lime'is made by burning these to powder. This is put in water, black tea leaves and salt in certain proportions being added. The boiling is continued un? til all the water has evaporated, and the residue becomes caked and hard. This is powdered fine, and the fresh eggs are placed therein one by one ; with a little rice husk. They remain in this preparation one hundred days, when they are ready for use. The preserved eggs will keep for several years. When ready for use they have the appearance of hard boiled eggs. The shell is taken off, and they are put on the table cut into small slices and eaten as hors cVaeuvres. The goose is generally of pure white plum? age, very striking in appearance, of great size and majestic carriage, much resembling the swan. The turkey has long been introduced into China, and is reared at Canton and Ticn-Tsin en? tirely for foreign markets, that is, for tho foreigners at the treaty ports. The peacock is reared in many parts of China, and has long been known to the people, though it is not a native of the country. Its tail feathers are used by the mandarins in their oaps to designate official rank. The gold and silver pheasants of China may be called domesticated birds, as they are now so extensively reared, that it is doubtful if they are found wild. There is a bird in China ?the cormorant?which is domestica? ted, trained to wonderful intelligence, and employed in catching fish. These birds are reared and trained with great care. A pair costs from five to six dollars. They are taken out on the lakes and rivers in a small boat; one man to?very ten or twelve cormo? rants. The birds stand perched on the sides of the boat, and, at a word from the man, they scatter on the wa? ter and begin to look for fish. They dive for the fish and then rise to the surface with the fish in their bills, when they are called back to the boat by the fisherman. As docjle as dogs, they swim to their master and are taken into the boat, when they lay down their prey and again resume their labor. The use of incubators in hatching eggs has been known and practiced in China for several hundred years, but the apparatus used is of a very primitive description. The hatching house is usually a long shed built of bamboo, the walls plastered with mud and thickly thatched with straw. Along the ends and down one side of the building arc a number of round straw baskets plastered with mud to prevent them from taking fire. A tile forms the bottom of each bas? ket. Upon this the heat acts, a small fireplace being below each basket. Upon the top of the basket there is a straw cover, which fits closely, and is kept shut during the process. When the eggs are brought they are put in the baskets, the fire is lighted beneath them, and a uniform heat maintained. In four or five days after the eggs have been subjected to this tempera? ture, they are taken carefully out, one by one, to a door, in which are a number of holes nearly the size of the eggs. They are held against these holes, and the attendants, looking through them, arc able to tell whether they are good or not. In nine or ten days after this, that is, about fourteen days from the commencement, the eggs are taken from the baskets and spread out on shelves. Here no fire heat is applied, but they are covered over with cotton and a kind of blanket, under which they remain about four? teen days more, when the young chick? ens break their shells and come forth. The natives engaged in this business know exactly the day when the young chickens or ducks will come forth, and are ready for their arrival. They arc generally sold two or throe days after they are hatched. A Sunday Law Case. In a recent issue of the Chicago Herald we find the following special from Dresden, Tenn. : "W. B. Capps, a quiet, orderly citi? zen of this county, is being made the victim of what appears to be a case of religious persecution, the only charge against him being that he performed son:? work on the first day of tho week Mr. Capps was arrested June 8, 1803, and at his trial before the Circuit Court of "Weakly County, June 27, 1893, he was fined $10 and costs, amounting in all to $51.80. His case was appealed to the Supreme Court of Tennessee, which affirmed the judgment of the lower Court, May 24, 1894, at Jackson, filing the costs at $58.65, making as a grand total the sum of $110.45, to be served out at the paltry rate of 25 cents a day. This will necessitate the confinement of the prisoner 442 days, or one year and nearly three months. "Mr. Capps has a wile twenty-four years of ace and four children, the eldest being only six years-old, and one of them sick at the time of its father's imprisonment. His family is loft all alone a quarter of a mile from any house. He is a poor man and un? able to support his family during his confinement. He does not deny work? ing on Sunday, but did so because he had rested the day before, according to the Bible; because he recognized his God-given right to labor six days in the week, beginning on the first, as did his Creator; and because, in ac? ceding to the demands of the State to rest on Sunday he would be denying his Lord. Hence he :refuses to pay the fine and costs, regarding them unjust, since the State is attempting to enforce upon him a dogma of relig? ion with which it can of right have nothing to do. Therefore, he has gone to jail, though a physician stated that he could never live in that un? healthy place the time required by the enormity of the State's assessment." The New Orleans Times-Democrat regards this as a case of religious per? secution, and compares the Tennessee laws to the old blue laws of Connecti? cut. It calls for a public subscription to pay the fine of the imprisoned man, and thus states the case : "If a farmer, who is a Seventh Day Adventist, and who performs his re? ligious exercises on the seventh day of the week, making Saturday, not Sunday, his day of rest"?if such a citizen as this is to be fined and im? prisoned for cutting his hay or wheat, without a 'shadow of offense to his neighbors, on the first day of the week, it is very plain that the religi? ous freedom of which we are wont to boast with a considerable degree of effusiveness in this country, is very much of a myth. It is not religious freedom at all; it is the freedom or license of a majority of the population to tyrannize over a minority, because the religious views and practices of the minority do not conform to the religious views and practices of the majority. "And this is religious persecution, at the end of the nineteenth ctntury, as surely as ever religious persecution wa3 practiced either in New England at the end of the eighteenth century, or in Spain at the end of the fifteenth century. Tennessee should make haste to change its laws regulating the "day of rest;" they are not in keeping either with the civilized conditions of this part of the world or of this ad? vanced age in the world's history." We cannot agree with our New Or-, leans contemporary. Leaving out the question of religion entirely, the State has the right to appoint a day of rest, and in the interests of public morals and public order it is a proper exer? cise of its police power to punish'every violator of the Sunday laws. If we allowed farmers to work in their fields ou Sunday because they had religi? ously observed Saturday as a day of rest, blacksmiths, mechanics, saloon keepers and merchants would soon claim the same right, a.nd there would be no end of disorder in our cities and towns. Suppose the good people of Atlanta should wake up some Sunday morning and find a number of Seventh Day Adventists keeping open retail stores and hammering away on new buildings in the course of erection ? The entire crowd would be arrested and fined, and very properly. We might pity the offenders and let them off lightly for the first offense, but the community would not stand such con? duct. "We punish the Mormons when they violate our marriage laws, no matter how conscientious they may be, and we cannot allow the violators of our Sunday laws to escape. The question of religious persecu? tion in the Tennessee case is over? shadowed by the question of public order. If a Seventh Day Adventist wants to rest on Saturday he can do so, but as a good citizen he is bound to obey our Sunday laws as well as our other laws. Our Jewish fellow citi? zens take the right view of the situa? tion. They observe thoir Sabbath, but they do not then try to interfere with ours. As a law and order loving people the Jews furnish an example in all countries that is worthy of tho highest commendation.?Atlanta Con? stitution. ?

Irrigating Plants Very few people realize what vast engineering and construction prob? lems are being solved out West -in ?what a few years ago was termed the Great American Desert region. The same desert region is of remarkable fertility when water is supplied by irrigation plants. The Swcetwater dam, in Southern California, is the pride of its builders and is worth many millions to the lands it renders fertile. In Arizona an immense canal is being built, which will utilize a part of the surplus waters of Colora? do and irrigate 200,000 acres of land. In New Mexico, in Eddy County, is the second largest irrigating plant in the United States. To secure an abundance of water at all times two immense reservoirs were constructed capable of storing 5,000,000 cubic feet of water. Some idea of the size of these arti? ficial lakes may be had when it is mentioned that one of them is thir? teen miles long by four miles wide. The water from these reservoirs is conducted through some 1,200 miles of canals and ditches and irrigates or will'irrigate 250,000 acres of land, mostly fruit and garden land. Imagine a water works plant with a reservoir 40,000 feet square and having 1,200 miles of mains. It took three years to build this plant. Yet others as great or greater are projected and will be constructed. The future effect of all this vast labor and skill is not easy to predict. In many places they have purely made the desert bloom and turned poverty into wealth. ? He?My darling, am I the first man that ever kissed you ? She?You are, George.

A bill providing for a pension of $50 a month for General Longstreet, the Confederate commander, on ac? count of wounds received in the Mexi? can war while he was serving as a ma? jor and paymaster in the United States army, was introduced in the Senate by Mr. Walsh. General Longstreet re? ceives a pension of $12 a month under the general pension act for the relief of Mexican war veterans. He asks that this be increased because of his advanced age, wounds received and total disability. The Successful Advertizer! Is the man who writes something the people will read, and reading, believe. In this age of education and enlightenment, when men read and think for themselves, all that stuff about "selling goods cheaper than your competitors buy them," being the "only competent dealers in the line," ?'handling better stuff than anybody else," Ac, is mere clap-trap, and subjects the writer and the firm back of it to the contempt of all right-thinking people. The man who has something to offer, and then tells the folks about in a plain, business way, is the man who "gets there," and getting there, stands. Lots of people handle Faint. Some handle one kind, some another, but they all realize, if they have any business sense at all, that in order to make that business a permanent success it is absolutely neces? sary to give the people the very best ma? terial. This we have tried to do, and at a price that puts it in the reach of all. In this connection we call attention to the fact that crops are about laid by, time is plentiful, and a little paint not only freshens and beautifies, but improves won? derfully the sanitary condition of the premises. If your house is all right may? be the fence needs a coat. A little Paint would keep that old bnpgy from falling down, and the wagon might last a year or two longer by spending seventy?five cents or a dollar in Faint on it. Remenaber this, the longer you put it off the more it takes and the less good it does. Remember another thing, it costs just as much, and takes just as much time, to have cheap paint put on as it does good J'alnt. Always buy the best, even if you pay mora for it.
