This seeming paradox may be explained from the fact that, ac- cording to the old English laws, was punishable by death. If dogs had been property then, to steal a dog would have been a punishable by death. It was not considered right that a man should die for a dog, and therefore dogs were held by the court not to be property. There are foolish dog laws in nearly every city and town in the United States based on the dogs are not prop- but such laws would not stand investigation and the interpretation of the higher courts.

I do not remember to have ever heard a more welcome sound than the whistle of that train, after spending an hour in silent misery.

It is has in this section up to now. It would be a good idea this year to commence cultivating your tobacco and cultivate it rapidly just as as the bud begins to turn green after it is Grown up hedge rows along ditch and fence lines are not good indications of neat farm- nor do they hold the owners good repute as a model farmer to passerby.

The Pitt county farmers to day as a whole are further advanced in agriculture and are better equipped to successfully conduct a scientific system of we venture to say, than any in the eastern part of the State. How would it com- pare with some of our sister ties fifteen years ago. To be a successful it ll very large plantation and we noticed several squads of hands dotted here there all it and we asked him why this was, and he said that as he was not much a firmer he relied principally- on corn, grain and hogs so he had to work hands to the best that he divided his land off in crops and gave each crop an equal number of By this he could tell which paid the best, which fields the best crops, and I he says he is enabled to keep his work nearer because each squad naturally works against others for fear of haying their wages docked. This is a capital j idea and it strikes us that every farmer in the country who more than a one horse crop would do well to pattern after this fashion. It also enables him to tell accurately the value of all his farm hands how much he should pay each one, basing his calculations on the amount paid bis lead or highest priced baud and the amount of work done by this one. With same amount of manures and cultivation he can soon tell exactly which fields paying, and calculating from this base any observer can tall what is needed to build up and the impoverish- ed fluids. There are numbers of farms in this and adjoining ties that are not paying their owners per cent on their value and by pursuing this method in detail, even under present we see no reason why farm- should not be made Of course ii order to CUPID REIGNS. A Festival at Which the Lit- tie God la Supreme. A singular and ancient custom takes place the first Thursday in December year in the little Belgian city of This is the celebrated Nicholas festival, and rt is probably to find in my other country. Peasants, male and female, enter the city in the early morning, all dressed in their holiday dress and all bent on being married. The young men and women march up and down market place, as soon as a young peasant sees the girl for whom he has a liking he in- her into one of the many cabarets or that surround the market, and here the agreement and conditions for the marriage are talked over. The young peasant is always at- tended by an important personage called This per- son plays a most important part, and without him no marriage could arranged. This man enjoys the confidence of both parties; he knows the qualifications of every young peasant and how much of a marriage portion each girl Is provided with. It is he who does the talking for both parties, and if an agreement is entered into and a wedding is the result, ht receives a certain part of the portion, a new high hat and a pair of boots. As long as the consultation between the two commenced at the festival, continues, the spokesman has a good time. He is entitled to the best of food and drink, and if he successful- carries out the negotiations he is the first to be invited to the wedding. As soon as the couple are engaged, which must be done before the festival is over, the custom is for the beau to purchase some oranges and candy for his girl, and she her intended husband with a pipe and a package of tobacco. The of this marriage val is lost in obscurity, but it is faithfully observed by the people of this province year after year. Dr. De Letter. SENSE OF TIME. Which Knew When One Particular Train Was Due. am always Interested in the trifling things of a long aid the trans-continental traveler, I find as much entertain- in them as in the scenery and in my fellow-passengers. For In- stance, I was traveling from San Francisco to Portland, Ore., recent- and we stopped for water at some little station in lower Oregon. I learned that It was the custom of the porter of the buffet car to throw away the scraps at that station. To my surprise I found a group of chickens drawn up waiting for the train to stop. The buffet car was at the rear of the train, and the porter appeared on the rear plat- form just the train came to a standstill. The chickens recognized him at and set up a clucking and a talking that showed that they were then; for purpose. the porter threw them some bits they screamed and raced and scrambled for them in a fashion that set the porter and the few spectators who knew what was going on into great laugh- The porter had his favor- and especial friends among the chickens, and gave them curious names as he tossed out-bit after hit. The chickens stood and looked at him first with one eye and then with the other, and the porter declared that they were winking at him. He took care that each chicken got a square meal, but the fowls didn't leave until the train had started. The porter told that for a year he- had been feeding those chickens and their intimate friends. He only passed through the place three times a week, but every time he came through those chickens were on hand. The curious thing about it, the porter said, was those chickens knew the days of the week and were able to keep track of them in some Y. Sun. DOG EAT DOG.

If we can venture an opinion we don't believe that the increase will be near so large as a good many think. A number people are judging that the increase will be large on account of the new barns. The old opes are worn out and they are being replaced by new ones good many instances. A factory, a tobacco a smoking factory will be built in Greenville, we venture to remark within less than a year from now. On last Saturday Mr. G- T. Ty sou brought a load of scrap to market and after he had disposed of it and was about leaving- he said that it was he who contributed and the first to pay in money for the erection of a tobacco warehouse here, and that now be was mighty anxious to contribute a like sum to build a smoking tobacco factory- He said that he would head the list. at time when there was a probability a factory started. Since then we have men tipped the matter to some of our young mercantile friends and they say they are at any time to contribute in this Moore said it was a business that he had been con- for some time and be did pot why it was that Greenville bad not built a factory before now. These facts and names are mentioned in order to show to public which way the winds are blowing now, and further to convince the out- side world that our people are beginning to open their eyes to interests of tobacco cf the first expense and keep an accurate account of all the expenses attached to each farm.

A man stood by and watched things for a few minutes. He saw several cigars given to speculators, but the bright steel index never stopped on the watch or the revolver. He carried a very stout cane. Going up to the turntable he stood abreast of the watch, and held his heavy can. up and down. He put down a nickel, gave the index a twist, and, to the surprise of all, it stopped right over the watch. The crowd cheered and jeered, and the fakir tried to look as If he liked it. After depositing the watch in his pocket the stranger edged around the table till he stood abreast of the revolver. The cane was again held straight up and down, and another nickel was thrown on the table. The index was sent flying around and it stopped right over the revolver. The crowd was too surprised to cheer any more, and before the fakir had recovered his composure the stranger walked off. An officer from one of the ships near by had watched the whole pro- and going after the asked permission to see the cane. The stranger handed it to the sailor, who found it weighed eight or nine pounds. It was a powerful magnet. was one of the cleverest cases of dog eat dog that I ever said the navigator.
