A UNIQUE -NJ WILL
Tlie Earliest Known Document
in Existence.
An Instrument That was Drawn
up 4500 Years ago.
The discovery in Egypt of the earliest
known will is an event which posseisc*
an interest for others borides lawyers?
and there set m i no reason to question
either the au riienticity or antiquity of
the unique document which Flinders
Petrie has linear;kad at Kihun, or, as
the town was known 45 )0 years ago,
I ah m. Tiic document is so curiously
modem in foim that it might almost be
granted probate tolar. But in any
case, it may bo assumed that it marks
one of tho earliest epochs of legal his¬
tory, and curiously illu '.rates the con
tinui'y of legal methods. It is, how¬
ever, needless to labor the value social¬
ly, legally, and historic ill J of a will
that tla(e 3 back to patriarchal times. It
consists of a settlement male by one
Bekhenrcn, in the year 4i, second
month of Port, il.ty 19—that is it is
estimated, the 44 h of Amenemhat
I IT., Or 2530 D. C., in favor of
his brother, a priest of Osiris, of aQ
his property and goods; and of
another documc it, wh'c'o. bears date
from the time of Amenemhat 1Y., or
2548 B. C. This latter instrumc.it is,
in form, nothing more or less than a
will, by which, in phraseology that
might we l hi used today, the testator
settles upon his wife Teta all the prop
erty given him by his brother for life,
but forbids her in categoric il terms to
pull down the homes, “which my
brother built for me,” although it cm
powers her to give them to any of her
children that she pleases. A “Lieuten¬
ant” Sibu is to act as guardian of the
infant children. This remirkable in
strument is witnessed by two scribes,
with an attestation clause that might
a most havo been draftel yesterday.
The papyrus is a valuable contribution
to tho study of ancient law, and shows,
with a graphic realism, waat a pitch of
civilization the ancient Egyptians had
reached—at least frcni a lawyer’s point
of view. It has hitherto been believed
that in the infancy of the human
race wills were practically unknown.
There, probably, never was a timo when
testanjonls in some form or other did
not exist, but, in the earliest ages, it
has, so far, been assumed that they
were never written, but were nuncupa
tory, or delivered orally, probably at
<Sf.nt’,\bcd of tho testator. Among
the Hindus to this nay niu i„ vi
...
Cession binges upon the due solemniza¬
tion of fixed cciemonics at the dead
man’s funeral, not upon any written
•will. Aud it is because early wills
were veiled only that their history is so
obscure. It has been asserted that
among the baihirian races the bare con
ception of a will was unknown; that
we must search for the infancy of tes¬
tamentary dispo itions in the early
It >man law. Indeed, until the ecclesias¬
tical power assumed the prerogative of
intervening at every break in tho suc¬
cession of the family, wills did not
come into vogue in the Wc 3 t. But Mr.
Petrie’s papyrus seems to show that the
system of settlement or disposition by
deed or will was long antecedently prac¬
ticed in the East .—Londtn Standard.
Centipede versus Tarantula.
The tarantula fights with a pair
pinchers which are thrust out just be¬
low or from the lower part of the head.
These aro very 1 ard anl strong enough
to leave ma'kj upon a lead pencil. The
centipede fig’at3 w.th a double line of
cat-like claws, which are ranged in
rows along the side of tho body. In
lighting the tarantula spreads himself
out, and after backing away after the
manner of a crawfish until he can get
no further, springs upon the enemy,
thrusting out iho piucherj and grasping
whatever portion of the body of the
enemy comes within reaoh.
In tho battle in tho globe, between
the centipe le and the tarantula, the two
came together for a dozen or more
rounds, breaking away aud returning
to the opposite sid-s of the globe at the
close of each. F.nally the two came
together, and the centipede seemed to
get the hold he had beci looking for,
aad the tarantula's body was quickly
wrapped up in the fold of the armed
body of its opponent. Meanwhile the
hundred claws of the centipede were
working rapid.y aud with such effect
that the life of th 3 tarantula was soon
over. The victorious centipede did not
come out unscratche 1 , as the forceps of
the tarantula had pierced his body in
several places, from which tho black
mattery life fl rid was running. He
survived the battle only a few hours.—

Not a Fair Game.
A Man with a shotgun said to a Bird:
“It is all nonsense, you know, about
sJaColing being a cru;l sparf, I put my
skill against your cunning that is all
there is of it. It is a fair game.’’ “True,”
)a d the Bird, ‘ but I don’t wish to

with a shotgun. “The game,” the
B rd rep ied, “is fair, as you say; tho

is there in it for me?” Not being j ire

ventilation for stables.
The old-fashioned barn, with a broad
thrashing-floor in the middle stalU and
granary on one si le, anl a hay-mow
on the other, is not a very high type o f
rural architecture. Tho cracks which
admit the light, also let in the cold air.
Yet rude as is such a shelter for horses,
it is more healthful than some of the
modern, elaborately -finished stables
which lack p'entiful ventilation. A
horse cannot retain health and vigor in
a hot, foul, uavoatilated stabte. Ele¬
gant fittings and interiors “handsomely
finished in the natural wood,” do not
make up ior the want of pure air. It
should be supp'ied in such a manner as
to avoid direct draft on the horse. A
very good system consists of horizontal
pipes perforated with fine holes, open¬
ing outside, and extending just above
the mangers, with vertical tubes from
the ceiling to a ventilator in the roof.
PROTECTION FOR GRAPES.
It occasionally happens that an ex¬
ceptionally cold winter brings tho sub¬
ject of winter protection very forcibly
to the nature of all who grow grapes.
Even the hardiest grapes arc sometimes
more or hss injure!, and while on the
other hand there are seaions so mild
that grapo vines pass through them
equally well without protection, yet
the most prudent course is to persist¬
ently and regularly protect them during
winter. To do this in tha be<t and
easiest way, prune in tho fall and lay
the canes upon the ground covering
them with earth to the depth of three
inches. This will afford sufficient pro¬
tection to even the tenderest varieties.
The hardier sorts often receive all the
protection necessary by simply being
laid upon the ground, but a slight cov
very little trouble. At the North the
snow provide! this and is better than
any covering wo may devhe__ Orchard

BTIRRING THE CREAM.
Stirring cream is falling into a disre
puto that it does not generally deserve
under the new methods that are coming
into fashion when the cream is kept
cold and sweet and is to be churned
within 24 hours after it is taken from
the milk. The non-stirring theory is cor¬
rect enough, but, and there i a great
deal in this “but, »» when tho cream is
kept at a temperature above 60 degrees,
and is not churned of.encr than twice a
week, then the stirring is of vital im¬
portance. All bodies at rest are in tho
proper condition for the formation of
and abnormal conditions just as
stagnant pools generate more foreign
substances than running stream'. So it
is W’ith cream—if you wish it to ina u
tain its normal condition, than stir it.
Under tho new 111 ory what is wanted
is a rapid change toward what is cn led
ripening, and that moans not a normal
condition. That is, stirred cream three
days old at a high tomparaturu will
como to the sumo condition as non
stirred cream at a low tempiratura 24
hours old. — American Dairymm.
CARE OF 11ROOD SOWS.
jsc who are to have early litters of
spring pigi must give the brood-sows
proper food aid treatment during the
winter month*. The first requisite is
good shelter nnJ a clean, wholesome
sleeping-place. The n.-xt is a roa«o 1 -
nbic amount of liberty. It will not do
| to kc>cp a brood-sow shut up continu¬
ously in a small pen, even if it is kept
reasonably clean, Bhe will become
sluggish aid nert, with none of tho
vigor and mu eular stamina needed to
produce and rear healthy pig), A cer
tain amount of cxerci-e every day is
necessary. If she will not lake her
daily “constitutional” of her owa ac
cord, it is best to drive her out.
Nothing is better during mild, open
weather tl.aa tl:e run of a lot where she
may root to her heart's content. Never
put a ring in the nose of a brood - sow.
The fool should be abundant, but
! not of a fattening character. Milk,
i bran and middlings, with a small mod
! icum of oil-mcai, vanel frequently by
| boiled turnips, carrots, beets, or other
J roots, clover hay chopped short and I
j mixed with the cooked ration, and m
cold weather a sm il p'opvtion of !
| corn-meat, will keepiheimim tl in good, j
thrifty condition. It is well to remem
j berthat swine are omnivorou., and an I
J occasional monel of anitnil fo)d is al
! ways accep'nb'e. The t.i
trails, and ,, other waste material of a !
slaughter-house, , * . * when , attaim.be, . ,, are |
desirable additions to the cnimai's die
tary. It is well to ke<-p * mixture cf
salt, charcoal, and a little sulphur in a
trough where the sow can he p herself
libitum. It ii ftlwty* best to keep
brood-sows separate from the rest of
herd. This is sptcially imperative
as the time for farrowing approaches.—
American Afritulluritt.
VARIETY OF FOOD.
In summer give a cow a pasture with
variety of grass, The error too fre
committed by dairymen is in
a ration from one kind of
fodder, instead of giving a variety. If
the hay be cut from an old meadow it
will have a variety of grasses, and tho
wants of the system will b 3 fully sup¬
plied. There are very few old mead¬
ows that contain less than twelve to fif
tecn species of grass, Old pastures of
ten contain three or four times that
number of grasses, It is from this fact
that butter has a higher flavor when
produced from old pas! ures. Wl*n
milk is produce l wholly from red clov
cr, one of our best artificial grasses, it3
flavor is quite inferior to that produced
from several varieties. This has been
so often observed as not to admit of a
doubt, Each species of grass or grain
has its own peculiar afoma and
flavor, and the greater the
number of varieties the finer tho flavor
of tho milk, butter or Other product.
Every dairyman should therefore study
tho nature of the foods ho Uses, that hs
may produce the best result. The un¬
favorable Opinion expressed by some
dairyman of fodder-corn, fed green,
has been fr< m not understanding that
tbit is only a partial food, and not
adapted to he used as a complete ration.
It is very deficient in albuminoids,
which arc foun 1 in so large proportion
in milk. Green corn is excellent as
part of a ration for milk cows, but it
should always be g'ven with more ni¬
trogenous food, such as clover, oats
and peaq millet, malt sprouts, oil cake,
bran or middlings. There must always
be a variety of food in the milk ration,
and with a little study of his resources
the dairyman may always give such
variety. The idea that cows must ha
fed fattening foods to produce rich
mill; is in a measure a mistaken one.
We repeat what we have said before,
that all corn meal is not as goal as
corn meal, bran and oats. — li ’eatern

It is related with a show of prida

efficiency of the system in vogue, Sec

Ar« the best months in which to purify your blood,
for at no other season does the system so much need
the aid of a reliable medicine like Hood's Sara*

The matter of farm labor is becoming a
serious one in the south. The wages of
men in mines, mills, factories, etc., art
generally higher, and then laborers prefer social
to be where they can have certain
privileges not found on the farm. Rail¬

upon negro farm labor, not to refer to

courting inebriety with elegance. She
buys her drunk in the shape of cologne
and absorbs it by chewing lumps of sugar
soaked in the delirious liquid. Boston
can always be relied upon to hold her own

Land Piracy at a Premium.
The most flourishing trade in Greece
at present appears to be that of the ban¬
dit. Land piracy thrives where com¬
merce, trade, and industry decay. The
freebooter lives on the fat of the land
where industrious and law-abiding citi¬
zens are little reduced enough to feediug of it. Upwards on the lean, of
and get
half a century ago, Edmond About wrote
a satirical romance on Greek brigandage
called “The King of the Mountains. "
About is in liis grave, but the mountains
arc there yet, and as populous with kings
as ever, unless the newspaper correspon¬
dent is as unreliable an authority as he
ought not to be. He informs us of the
capture of the chief brigand of Greece,
the nephew, indeed, of About’s mountain
monarch, by wliat are by courtesy called
the Greek while police. This hero now lies in
prisou, serenade his admirers among the
lower classes him under his
barred window aud send him in good
things to eat and drink through the turn¬
keys. The question with the author¬
ities, says the correspondent, now is
what they are to do with their prisoner.
If they turn him loose he will go back to
the practice him of brigandage again. If
t hey hang the common people, who
make heroes of bandits in Greece as they
used to of Robin Hood in Old England,
will rise in riot. One way out of the di¬
lemma has been suggested in the fact
that they might keep him in jail, but
thertTis a serious objection to this. It
costs at -east twenty-five cents a day to
keep a prisoner hardly in jail in Greece, aud the
Government feels equal to this ex¬
travagance. Under the circumstances,
we must admit that the Greek Govern¬
ment has our entire and hearty sympathy,
lis painful painful position appeals to our
liner instincts of humanity, aud we feel
;>ur sensitive soul bleed for it in ample
and copious bleeds. However, we do
not despair nor give it over to utter help¬
lessness. If the worst esmes to the worst,
the Greeks have one final recourse in the
matter. They can ship their pet bandit
to America, to become an Alderman in
New York or a pension agent in Wash¬
ington, D. C.
