PRACTICAL JOKE OF AN INDIAN

PRACTICAL JOKE OF AN INDIANA
correspondent of the Detroit Enqui-
Ter, in speaking of the Indians, says:
Some of these Indians areintense wags
in their way. One of them having
given a trader some annoyance, was
told that in case he was seen again
with bottle, it would be taken from
! him and thrown into the fire. A few
days after, the Indian appeared with
his pint flask in his blanket, as usual;
but the trader was as good as his word,
and demanded the bottle, which the
Indian gave up and started for the
door. The trader threw the flask into
the stove, and out came the windows.
the trader following close behind
The next time that man burns a whis-
key bottle, he will examine it, to see
that it is not of ''Dupont's" make.

A GOOD STORY.

A certain friend Of ours, whose ur-
banity and good fellowship have won
him host Of admirers, amused a COM
paly a few evenings since, with the
following anecdote, which is too good
to be lost. Smith, a captain of new
and elegant packet on the Champlain
Canal, was spending few days one
winter at Montreal, and to kill time
went into the theatre one evening
During the Performance, the orchestra
began playing God save the queen
An important consequential parsonage
BUSTED around the theatre, touching
! one with his cane and motioning to an
other, al the time saying, that's Off
our national air"
Presently he approached Captain
iSmith, who is diminutiye specimen
of the genus homo, and called out to
him, chat off, sir; our national sir!''
The Lilliputian captain refused, when
the very consequential busybody, with
a sweep Of his cane, knocked the cap
jtain's hat upon the floor
There was a grand rush, the flash
ing of a bright blade, and cries, "a
fight, fight but the bystanSers in
Iterfered, and the parties stood glazing
at each other like wild beasts. Capt
Smith remarked, 81 shall know you
the next time we meet" and was hur.
; RED oil to prison. In the spring fol
lowing, Capt. S. was pacing the deck
of his beautiful packet, as she lay a
e the wharf at Whitehall.
The United States had just ar
rived from Rouse's Point, with pas
sengers bound for Saratoga, New York
etc. The Captain eyed the part,
!, sharply, and among them recognized
his Montreal acquaintance.
He proceeded at once to the leade
of the band, AM ordered him, as sool
as the boat was in motion, to strik,
| up Hail Columbia, and after that Van
,kee Doodle: The order was obeyed
f and the Captain appeared on the decl
f swinging huge bludgeon. AS sool
as the first note of Yankee Doodle
! had been sounded, he called out, shat
{ of, gentlemen-hats off; our nationa
air!r'
His Montreal friend did not heei
him, when around came the bludgeon
, and away went the Montreal gentle
mans hat into the canal. The gen
tleman was indignant-got mad
clustered awfully-but Capt. S. said
perhaps you don't know me?
t am the man whose hat you knocked
of, last winter, in Montreal. Glad t.
) see you"
: "Quite right, Captain-very right
t | have a bottle of genuine below; com
down and we will pass receipts"

terror minute or two, to remove the
skin; have readya paste, such as one
would make for peach pie-cut the
tomatoes, and place alayer of sugar
and a layer of tomatoes, and some

this way can be scarcely distinguished
from peach, and are delicious. They
must have about as many kernels in
a pie as are found in a real peach pie.

New Broth for the ,SSck.-Prof.
Eebig, the distinguished chemist, has
recently put forth the following re-
cipe for new broth for the sick
The popularity is, that it is prepared
without heat:
For one portion of broth take half
pound of freshly killed meat, (beef
or cllicken) cut it in small pie
ces, add to it l 1-6 ID, Of distilled
water, to which has been added 4
drops Of pure chlorydic (muriatic) ac-
id, and half to one drachm of COM
mon salt, mix them well together
After standing an hour the whole is
strained through a conical hair sieve,
such as is ordinarily used in the kitch-
en-, allowing it to pass through with
out pressing or squeezing.
The portion passing through first
being cloudy, it is again poured
through the sieve, and this process
repeated until it becomes perfectly
clear. Upon the residue of the meat
remaining in the sieve, half pound
of distilled water is poured in small
portions. In this manner about one
pound of liquid (cold extract of meat
is obtained, of red color, and pleas
ant meat broth taste. 1t is admins
tered to the sick, cold, by the cup full
according to their inclination. 1t
must not be heated, as it becomes
cloudy thereby, and thick coagu'
lum of meat, albumen and hematin is
deposited.
