Spiced Vinegar.

In the winter of 1917, while residing in
New Orleans, a youth that stood almost
five feet eleven and three quarters in his
stockings, who hailed from somewhere up
the Wabash, was invited by friend to dine
at the same house where was boarding.
This was the Hoosier's first visit away
from home he told his friend, who was in
the produce business, and had parchased
cargo of his corn, as they took their seats
at the table, that he expected he would
show him all the sights in town, as he wan
ted to let all the folks at hum know about it.
The servant brought plate of soup, and
observing gentleman nearly opposite, put
considerable catsup in his dish, our Hoosier
pointed to bottle Of pepper sauce and
asked his neighbor what it was.
'Spiced vinegar, was the reply.
'Wal, ,spose yer 'blige feller handin'
it along
Certainly was the answer.
The Hoosier took the bottle and COM
meuced dosing into his soup; but as the
sauce did not flow very freely, he took out
the cork, and at the same time observing
to his frierd:
kinder close folks yer stoppin' with, to
put such plaguy little hole in to prevent a
feller's takin much Of the daT1ed stun. !
spose it comes high, don'tit? p
Daring the time he poured nearly a wine
glass full into his soup; and taking his spoon
he dipped it full, together with several
peppers and put it into his mouth. The
next moment he spouted the contents OF
the sponn across the table into a French
gentleman's bosom, and bawled out
Water water Snakes aud Wildcats
give ne some water! I'm all on tireH
BY gar, sir, exclaimed the Frenchman
in rage Jumping up from the table, you
have spoiled my shirt and my vest, sair p
Spoil everything sair. By gar shall SEE
about this sair.'
In the mean time the Hoozier had seized
pitcher containing water, and had taken /;
tremendous draught. Setting down the
| pitcher, he eyed the Frenchman for mo.
| ment and then Yelled
Dad blast yer old shirt; 'spose | wa.
going 10 burn nay inards out for you or ye
shirt, yer mean cuss? Come down to th,
boat and Ill give you one of mine.
1t was with much difficulty that the Hoo
sier's friend could allay the Frenchman'
rage, and set matters straight again.
But ever after spiced vinegar was
byword, and sufficient SO set the whole tabl
in roar.

full of cayenne pepper down his throat, went
tearing over the room hkala- burnt hug 3, and.
r5aring equal to dozen full grown aIIga-
tors in pitched battle.
After the squall was over, Ned looked
up at the broker, who happened to bring up
near his chair, and said to him very serious
iy-
Sir, am very quiet man myself ike
to eat my dinner without being disturbed,
and hereafter if you should happen TO come

if YOU will sit at some other table
The broker apologised to Ned, paid the
damage and slid | caught the glimpse of

his stew with bis plate on his knees, just as
innocent as if be didn't know what cayenne

together. we got in the habit of paronising
the Globe Dining Saloon, under the Fulton
Market. Ned would 60 there, because he
swore they always gave him an extra oyster

sg Wrong-headed perversity always de-
feats the end it has in view. The action
which the Legislature saw fit to take in re-
ference to the temperance memorials which
were laid before that body instead of frown-
ing down or discountenancing the friends of
the great reform, has only tended to streng
then their zeal. There is now in North Caro-
lima, stronger sentiment in favor of legal
prohibition of the liquor traffic than there
ever has been heretofore. The friends of
temperance are fully aroused, and their voice
will be heard, and their influence felt, in
coming sessions of the Legislative body
With firm reliance on the reasonableness of
their demands and the justice of their cause,
they are determined in the future, to cast
their votes for men Who will reflect their
opinions and not for partizan demagogues,
who are unseru pulous in regard to the means,
provided the end they aim at,-ofice, car
be attained.-Gotdsboro' Telegraph.

Coop ADVICE. The Philadelphia Ledger
says, the journals in the West are all urging
the farmers to put in abundant crops Of
spring wheat, potatoes. corn, and whatever
may serve as substitute for wheat. There
will be no supply from last years crop, and
the farmers need not fear low prices. The
next year will furnish abundant demand for
all that the soil can produce. It is famine
and starvation prices that we have to fear,
and not glutted market. The dry fall pre-
vented them from getting in Wheat freely,
and they must not rely upon what the far
west may produce to make up for their lack
Let them cover every spot they can occupy
with something that will do for the susten-
ance of man or beast, or both.

WHAT PEOPLE EAT-A witness in a re-
cent case in New York, stated that he could
produce evidence to prove that steaks were
cut from the thigh of the pirate Gibbs, who
was hung years ago, and were cooked, and
that people ate and pronounced them the
finest they ever ate, heing under the impress
sion that it was the flesh of an animal. De

Poultry Manure.

Poultry-dung, Sprengel informs US, is
one Of the most powerful manu- es, and is
therefore worthy of greater consideration
than is generally bestowed upon Its collec-
ton, especially as it soon decOmposes and
loses much ammonia, and would lose still
more if it did not dry SO quickly, and thus
prevent furthur decomposition of the urea
The manure of Pigeons and domestic fowls
is the most valuable, because they feed
mainly on grain, insects and worms. To
secure poultry dung in its most valuable
state, the floor of the house should be
strewed with soil abundant in humus, the
humic acid of the earth combining with
the ammonia of the droppings, thus saving
it from loss during the process Of putrefac-
ton Strewing the floor with sand or saw
dust is of no use, unless in point Of cIeanli-
ness The droppings of geese are not so
valuable as of pigeons or chickens. When
they come in contact with the grass, they
quickly destroy it, which fact is explained
partly by the uric acid it contains, and part
IL by the ammonia which is 50 soon gener-
ated and developed on decomposition
These caustic substances become valuable
as soon as rain falls and dilutes them. The
same writer remarks that poultry manure
should always be applied as top dressing,
and narrowed in lightly. If ploughed in,
the main soluble substances would be car,
ried too deep into the soil.-Prog. Farmer.

of last year. when | saved my cherries by
hanging up several pieces Of tin with strong
thread in the differen trees two being hung
near enough together to clash with The wind,
which sound. with the right reflection OF
the tin certainly frightened them away; and

preceding year, l was obliged to re'Inquish
to them. So says New Jersey Farmer.
