“Raising a joke of oxfen," nftid n
Westchester county farmer the other
day, “is a good deal like raising children.
You can never tell how they ore going to
turn out till thoy got too big for you to
control. Jtowj there's that yoke—
gentle, pt aocnble cattle as you ever saw.
\ When I first put a yoke on them I said
to myself: •Well, if I can make any-
f tiling out ot these steers I'll give up
farming and make n business of break
ing rattle. ’ Row did I do it? Well, I'll
^ ,bo hanged if I know. A little physical
niosiou and a good deal of coaxing,
brush the dirt off that stum^ and sit
down and I’ll tell you something abon'
oxen.
“The first thing is your breed. Now,
if yon would keep a Durham down you’d
get a good ox, but Darhams grow too
stocky. Fifteen or sixteen hundred
poiiinlH is about as heavy as an ox ought
to run, but a Durham will go up into
2,U00 pounds without an effort. Hol
beins are open to the same objection.
Alderuoys, Ayrshire* and Jerseys are too
light, even if they wore not too valuable.
Onmnoti natives make the best oxen.
Tlnfnriimal is railed a steer till it gets to
bo two or three years old. Then it’s an
< >v. Tho breaking in of a spring steer
begins the following falL I tell you, a
calf six or eight mouths old is a frisky
thing itt ft rule, and don’t you forgot it.
Hut they soon come to time. The first
tiling to do is to learn the animal to
mimltbegad. Get him quieted down,
and then strike him lightly on the flank,
• uid he'll go abesd. Htriko him on the
in’ise, and he’ll at first turn to one side ;
‘fml if you work at him a little while
he’ll learn that a tap on the nose means
, to back up. When you’ve taught him to
I'nek, you must teach him to ‘haw’ or
• gee’—that is, turn to the Uft or right.
This training usually includes two ani
mals which you propose to yoke to
petber, and they are as near tho same
size and disposition os you can get
th<m. -Dispositiou midsize have to be
taken into conaideratiou in deciding
which.nminal you will place on the off or
right side and which ou the nigh. The
driver walks ou the nigh or left side, and
if there is any difference in the size of
tho animals he wonts the one furthest
from him to be the highest, so he can
rpnoh him with the gad over tho back n
the nigh animal. Then he wants ihe
friskiest one nsst to him, 90 he ca-’ look
after him.
“In trying to find out the aisposition
i the cattle the yoke come* into play.
Tho yoke, you see, is i* three pieoes.
The bar Which runs poross the neck is
the yoke proper, T sup|>oee, but the
whole thing is called tho yoke. The
bows nm arou*d under the throats of
the cattle, a"d are made fast by a pin
in tho lias The bows are made of oak
or htatfory and the bur of basswood. A
goof yoke tost* aliout $5. Farmers
used to whittle them out in slack times
during the winter, but machinery dw
the work nsw.
“When you first put a yoke on a pair
of steers it scares them, but they soon
got used to it; then you train them
around the barnyard or up and down
the road; touch the off animal on the
off side and he’ll come arouud toward
you—that is, swing around to the left or
haw ; the uigh animal may feel the off
one coming around and come with him,
or you may have to tap him on the nose.
Ho bucks, jiud that brings him around.
To 1 goe ’ a yoke, or swing them ofl to
the right, you go through the same
mameuvre, starting off, of course, with
Hie nigh animal. Simple enough it
seems, doesn’t it ? Rut it takes weeks
and months to break a yoke of oxen.
“You can begin breaking steers when
they are six or eight months old, but
thoy are not fit to use much till they are
two or thrrec yean old. While you’re
breaking them yea oan use them for
light work around the yard or for bring
ing up a snag of wood, but heavy work
is liable to injure them.’’
“In what way are oxen superior to
horses?” —

SERGEANT MOLLY PITCHER.
A singular dnirnatio incident occurred
in the Superior Court room at Waynes
boro, Texas, during the trial of the
Rogers brothers for the killing of the
Symses, father and son.
When, tho court assembled after tee,
the seats and tho ipsles within the bar
were crowded with ladies, while without
a dense throng of meu filled up^the au
ditorium.
Mr. Twiggs began his argument. He
is an eloquent speaker. In the course of
bis address he at one time referred in
the most feeling manner to the courage
snd devotion of women. The hour, the
audience, and the dim light from which
the rapt ti^n were bent upon him, all
combined to form a surrounding well
calculated to inspire the orator to his
greatest effort. He closed his address
upon the wogien os follows: - - .
- ‘"ArtTidT*a(Tlo or'Goilysburg General
Pickett was ordered to begin the charge
which was to make him famous,. As he
went into the terrible Isittle his young
bride, on horseback, followed him.
When tho hail of death was beating
down men on all sides and the plunging
shot and shell mingled their fierce
screams with the moans and cries of the
mangled, Pickett suddenly found him
self iu the presence of his wife. In an
agony of fear forYier safety, he cried out
to her, as she sat Cool and collected-as a
veteran: 1
“ ‘Go back 1 Go back 1 For God’s
sake go back to the rear !’ ”
“ ‘No,’ replied tho devoted woman, ‘in
tho hoar of danger a wife's place is by
her husband’s side.’”
At this moment through tho court
room there rang out one wild, thriving
cry, which nearly lilted the txcited
throng to its feet. It was the ->hl rebel and soon after the battle left the army.

Speaking about getting married, IT<rr-
cr't lituar says: It is not etiquette for
the groom to furnish anything for his
own wedding but the ring and a bouquet
for the bride, presents for the bride-
maids and the best man, and some token
to the ushers. He pays the clergyman.
He should not pay for the cards, the
carriages, the entertainment, or any
thing connected with tho wedding. This
is decided in the high court of etiquette.
That is the provinoe of the family of the
bride, aafl should bo insist# ypou. If
they are net sbie to do this, there should

righto of the groom. It is simply a
proper and univmal etiquette.

A very curious case has been brought
before the courts nt Hing Sing, N. Y.,
says an exchange. Professor Gordon,
princi|>al of the public school, punished
a boy because ho would not sing, and
tho father of the boy had the professor
arrestad. It is now to lie proved whether
a Ixiy may be allow ed to decline singing,
or who them is cruelty to punish him
for it. Tho teacher, who first, complained
of the boy for not being willing to sing,
has evidently little knowledge of psycho
logical peculiarities; but there is such a
thing as “aversion to singing,” an aver
sion that can be overcome only after a
time. 1 have known boys whose nerves
could not stand hearing their own voice
in singing, and who could not be made to
sing. It is seldom the case with girls,
and yet I have known such instances,
but with boys it is a frequent occur-
renoe. A shudder will nm through tbs

young Irish woman, with a handsome,

charmed by the story of her bravery,

A writer in tho Raltimore Evf n/ Sat
urday says: “A few evenings ago I
was riding up-town m one of the Madi
son avenue oars. Among the passengers
waa a young lady, prepossessing in ap
pearance, of modest demeanor, and neat
but plain in apparel. She was evidently
of the class whom necessity compels to
earn her bread by the labor of her
hands. At one ot the cross streets a
young fellow boarded the car. He was
gotten up in point of dress to kill. In
fact, he was one of those men who, in
street parlance, are knowu as ‘mashers.’
Alter standing on the rear platform a
minute, his eye canght sight of tkc lady
passenger, who was, liesides myself, the
only occupant of the car.
“After apparently taking her measure
ment, he remarked to the conductor;
‘Devil fhh pretty girl, That/ and tipping
the change-taker a wink he entered the
vehicle and took a seat beside her. The
youag lady, nnoonsoious of the fellow’s
motion, was wrapt in her own reflection,
until a few moments later he addressed
her. What the nature of the observa
tion waa I did not hear, but the lady
arose and took a seat on the other side
of the cer. The fellow deliberately fob
lowed her and renewed his attentions. ‘ I
was ourious to know what would be the
denouement, and an appealing glance at
the conductor, a fine, strapping, manlv
and withal a gentlemanly fetiow, re
lieved me of suspense. Entering the
oar he said to the lady, ‘Do you know
thk man, miss?’ ‘No, sir,’ was the
reply.
"In a twinkling^ the dressed-to-kill
masher was in his'grip, and the next
minute he was on the rear platform,
"lies in the freezing. The
freezing cream, which is still in use
among small confectioners, consisted of
occasionally stirring the cream while it
was freezing In a tin can, set in a tab of
ice and salt A more easy and expedi
tious method is within tbs reach of the
average housekeeper in these days of pat
ent freezers. - The same principle under
lies all the liest known patents, i. a., the
mixing of the cream by a wooden beater
which revolves inside the^oan by the
pame motion that slightly eSangea the
position of the can in the outer tub of
ice and salt. This freezing mixture
^liould lie composed of three parts of
crushed ice to olio of course salt, of
which care should bo taken that it does
not reach high enough around the sides
of the cun to penetrate to the interior
and so apod tho cream; tho water
formed in tho outer tub by the melting
of the freezing mixture need not be
drawn off while the cream is being fro
zen unloas it is likely to get into the oan,
because tho water is intensely cold. If
it is desired to pack tho cream after it is
frozen the water may be drawn off and
enough more ice and salt placed around
the can to roach nearly to the top. Ico
cream packed in this way can be kept
over night, or longer, if the freezing
mixture ia properly renewed. When the
cream is ‘moulded’ or packed in the
moulds of fancy shapes all tho openings
should bo closed with butter, or oiled
paper fixed about the apertures of thf
mould with paste or gum tragacanth.
“Ice creams of the most ordinary sort
arc made with milk thickeued with ar
rowroot or corn starch, iu the proportion
of h tablespoonful to a quart, dissolved
iu cold water and then boiled in the milk,
which is cooled, sweetened and flavored
before it is frozen. Tho sort of icecream
usually made ut home is composed of
milk, with a small proportion of cream,
with eggs and sugar added to it; for in
stance, dissolve half a pound of sugar in
a quart of milk ; place it over the fire and
let it heat to u boiling point; meantime
lieat three eggs to cream, pom the boil
ing milk into them and then rfiurn to
the fire am] stir until it Iregins to thick
en, then at once remove it from the fire;
stir until it is smooth, thi n flavor it, cool
it, and when it is cool freeze it according
to directions given. Frozefi enstard is
made in the same way, only five eggs at
least are added to a qnaijt of milk.
“French icecream, thick and yellow,
is made by boiling a quart of cream with
a king vanilla bean end then cooling and
straining it; then the yolks of twelve
eggs are beaten smooth with threc-quar-
tiTx of a pound of sqgor ; the flavored
cream is then mixed with the eggs and
stirred over the fire until it liegins to
chicken ; directly the cream begins to
jhieken, take it from the fire and stir it
for five minutes ; then cool it and freeze
it.’
The Forrest Divorce rase.
I well remember the details of this
famous suit, says a prominent New
Yorker, which no one but O’Conor could
have woo. Ho turned the tables so
adroitly that the plaintiff was trans
formed into a defendant, and,
instead of obtaining a verdict waa
beaten in the most shameful man-
ner. New York has never witnessed a
divorce case of an equally sensational
character—this being occasioned not
only by tho dramatic distinction of the
plaintiff, but also by tho social rank of
>>ther parties complicated in the affair.

the grasp of a giant. The result was
that a man who began an action to di
vorce his wife was himself divorced and
was thus prevented from marriage. He
was at the same time obliged to pay her
83,000 a year, and was not allowed to
leave- Hie city until foil security waa
given. Forrest was so irritated at Wil
lis, whom he considered an instigator of
his wife, that he assaulted him in public,
and was made to pay $2,500 and costs
for this indulgence in temper. The
parties are now all dead, and it seems
strange to recall tho bitter scenes in
which they were engaged. Mrs. For
rest died in California. John Van Boren
died ou shipboard, but his remains
were bronght home for interment Ed
wani iiauforU, who conducted Willis
action for assault and battery, perished
in the'ill-fated Steamer Arctic. Willis
rests in Greenwood, Forrest, after life’s
fitful fevur, fofind a grave in Philadel
phia, and now his chief antagonist is also
borne to the hooso appointed for all
living.
The Biggest Forgery.
The biggest forgery that ever took
place in England was Fauntlerpy’s, in
1816, for £360,000 pounds. Fanutleroy
was the head partner in a bank iu Ber
ners street, London, that had dealiugs
with the Bank of England An the bank
that he belonged to w^s in a bad state,
Fanutleroy, iu order to keep up its cred
it, went to work and forged powers of at
torney of a lot of wealthy depositors,‘and
told out their funds; yet, all the time he
was working in this,way, he was paying
dividends to the men be was robbing.
But the crash came at last, and before
die police broke into FaunUeroy’s bouse
they found a note breathing defiance
against the Bank of England for having
refused to discount his acceptances, and
having thus destroyed the credit of his
house. Fauntleroy was hanged tor his
crime, and an eye-witness remarks the*
all London was proas tit at the
