HAD NEVER BEEN ABROAD. '
-----
For All That He H«a Traveled
“Fur anil WicJ<••”
, “Have (TT you spent allot . your life right
in this one place?” asked a stran-
of au old fellow he came across
on a rail fence whittling in front
a log and slab cabin in one of tbe
counties of Arkansas.
“Not by a denied sight!” was fee
rcplv. .{ “1 been byar •, the better
. . o’ , the time; , but, la, , I hev traveled , ,
an wide!”
“Ever been abroad?”
"Well, not call eggsackly to say abroad,

year. It’s 3Gy 2 miles to Petervillo, an 1

I’ve traveled fur an wide all the same,

The Giraffe's Timidity.
A giraffe is very timid on hearing
slight scfknds. but is indifferent to loud
ones. A writer in The Leisure Hour
says: "Noisy sounds, like a man walk-
lng by with hobnail boots, it does not
notice, but a lady coming in with hard-
ly more sound than the rustling of her
dress makes it start, with pricked ears
and eyes distended. We remember
well, after a terrible explosion of gun-
powder on a barge on the canal, ask¬
ing the keeper of the giraffes of that
day how they had taken it, and be said
be was surprised bow very little notice
they took. They jumped to their feet,
but almost at once lay down again
when they found nothing happened.
“But,” he added, “if i were at night¬
time to creep along that gallery in my
socks they would be so scared that I
believe they would dash themselves to
bits.” They fear tiie lurking foe, and
a bing bang scares them less than a
faint, rustling sound. They are in that
respect very deerlike.”
The Bloodstone.
Bloodstone, which is really green
chalcedony spotted with jasper, is ac¬
counted for by tbe following legend:
At the crucifixion a piece of chalcedony
lay at the foot of the cross, and on it
dropped the Saviour's blood, from which
time the stone is said to have borne
red spots, which are supposed to in-
crease and to deepen in "color when
danger is near. It is also said to revive
the spirits and to inspire to great
deeds, to check excessive bleeding and
last but not least to render its wearer
invisible at will.
Vlctorln and Dickens.
Literary celebrities, as a rule, were
not those who attained to any high
degree of personal favor at the hands
of Queen Victoria, but she paid Charles
Dickens a delicate compliment. Dick¬

days was devoured by a grand passion

educating the remnant ot^iaual power
retained by a “blind” child. There was

There are possibly thousands of blind
people who have renounced vision in-
stead of cultivating it to a degree that
would render the blind types useless.—

through the coming week. These she

throughout the entire settlement and

Utilizing Cattle Blood.
Hon. O. B. Stevens, Atlanta, Ga.:
Dear Sir—I have charge of a plants-

throe beeves a week. Is there any way
that I can save the blood and fresh litter
from the butcher pen without its smell-
ing too bad when placed in barrels?
Want to use it for fertilizer next spring,
and I would like to know what to mix
with it If you can give me any advice
itwm be appreciate
Answer. -Your letter of the fifteenth
insr., received and noted. As you are
not running a regular slaughter house
it would not bo practicable for you to
save your blood and other animal waste
in the way in which the large slaughter
houses do it. They evaporate their
blood down to dryness, and also thor-
oughly dry out with steam heat all of
their other waste, which they grind and
call tankage. Probably the best thing
you could do would be to buy some very
dry Acid Phosphate, stipulating in the
that the acid shall not contain
than 5 to « por cear , 0 f water,
Pilosphate made sorae six or seven
months a g 0 onght to fulfill these con-
ditions. Then mix your blood with
this dry Acid Phosphate, It will
soon absorb the blood, and thou
___
later on yon can pulverize and have
a most excellent ammoniated fertilizer,
Yon «aalso M. t ho offal M offs,
waste matter and cover it over with tho
acid phosphate in a pile, putting layers
of offal and layers of acid phosphate,
one upon the other. The acid phosphate
w jn p rGV ent the loss of ammonia, and
absorb the extra water. This is the
mo8t practical receipt I cau give you for

Major Fisher describes tbe tactics of a
partridge when pursued by a tame
falcon,
The falcon was descending upon the
partridge when the partridge stopped
short and fell to tbe ground as if dead,
He seemed to tie lost in the short stub-
ble of the field. He was far too know-
ing to trust himself again on the wing,
and the hawk had no alternative but
to take him on the ground, which he
speedily attempted to do.
But on the ground the partridge was
far more agile than he, running this
way and that with great speed. Tbe
hawk would jump awkwardly up and
dart after the scudding partridge, who
just at the right moment jumped from
the ground and over his back, descend-
e q ou the other side and commenced

« vei T attempt the partriugo . met the
hawk with outstretched neck and tais-
ed hackles, in the attitude of a fighting
bantam cock, jumping up to avoid be-
ing clutched whenever the hawk struck
at him . In fact, his whole action was
that of a plucky little game baiqam.
This went ou for some time, until, as
j regret to say, I ended the unequal
strife by putting the partridge once
more fairly on the wing, when, ol
course, the hawk readily overtook and
captured it, not ovet much to his cted.t
